A question ought to be asked, and it is one that urgently needs answering – what is it that Diezani Alison-Madueke says or does that makes the government of Goodluck Jonathan unable to call her to order?
( Read Star Wars in Aso Rock: Alison-Madueke meets Jonathan over Okonjo-Iweala HERE )
Since her unfortunate entrance into public office, corruption, of various hues, has trailed her. A June 2008 Senate probe revealed that she paid a severely questionable N30.9 billion to contractors within 5 days in 2007, and a 2009 recommendation by the Senate was for her to be prosecuted for the transfer of N1.2 billion into private accounts. These might yet be unproven in a court of law, but there is clearly something about Alison-Madueke that attracts questions of corruption.
There are accusations of certificate fraud from Howard University, fraudulent assignment of prospective rights in lucrative oil blocs, extortion from marketers, fraudulent dealings with jewelers as minister of mines and steel development, fraudulent dealings in the oil sector that was unveiled by a 2010 KPMG report she refused to co-operate with,the fraud surrounding the handling of N155 billion around Malabu Oil, and the unsurprising revelations ofdisgusting corruption underher watch by Nuhu Ribadu’s Petroleum Revenue Special Task Force.
Indeed, she might be an attractive woman with not alittle poise, but the Christian Bible speaks of whitened sepulchers.
The odium that she attractson a sustained basis has reached fever pitch this year. But if she is even a little bit moved by just how much soil lies atop her name, or even that her name is of any importance to her as she oversees Nigeria’s oil wealth, there is no indication.
Last week, the media reported her Nigerian Economic Summit imperially awarding herself a pass mark for doing “a fairly equitable job” and arrogantly declining to answer tough questions from oil industry stakeholders.The lethal mixof questionable character and spectacular tone-deadness was on shocking display on Wednesday – and, frankly,this board is yet to recover from it.
The nation’s minister of petroleum resources, by way of explaining the hardship of fuel scarcity that has bedeviled Nigerians over at least twomonths now (and, which, of itself speaks of unacceptable incompetence), said to Nigerians , “We cannot eat our cakes and have it” andthen declared “We cannot keep pointing to corruption,if we are not prepared to bear some of the hardship.”
Like we said, we are beyond shocked. As someone who stepped into government from CorporateNigeria, Alison-Madueke is aware that executives should take responsibility for corruption under their watch. This woman has not been seen to take public responsibility for anything.
( Read ‘Report: 5 trillion naira story on President Goodluck Jonathan’s watch’ HERE )
So, we ask again: what is itthat she says or does that makes the government of Goodluck Jonathan unable to get rid of her, or call herto order?
In more self-respecting societies, she would at the very least be the recipient of overwhelming institutional odium.
The general public would treat her like a plague, elite members of society protective of their names would politely decline her invitations, no awards worth its salt would even mention her name (she has appropriately been named by the National Honours Committee as a CON), and most certainly, no government desirous of credibility would have absolutely anything to do with her.
Unfortunately, this is Nigeria. So, without fear of repercussion, she not only pursues policy that is clearly destructive, she has now proceeded to make a tradition of ill-advised statements and now points a bejeweled finger at the expense, as itwere, of the population sheoppresses.
Because we are yet lost forwords, we shall only say this: Her continued presence in this administration is a collective injury on our psyche.

Most Nigerians, including OP and author of the article, are bloody fools who dwell on innuendos and rumors. If moronic dingbats such as you could navigate to this forum to wallow on ignorance, you could as well go to the particular ministries and institutions and seek for facts instead of feeling depressed by undue pressure of tribal bias, jealousy and rumor.

it is either you are a paranoid schizophreniac or you are suffering from organic psychoses,either way you are a complete Madman. Your incoherent ramblings is as vexatious as your illogical streaming of unrelated topics. For your information Diezani was Minister of transport under Yar Adua not Jonathan. No senate committee indicted her(provide proof if you have one). She paid contractors after a financial year(if it was without Authorisation she would have been dealt with as Prof Grange was Humiliated by Yar Adua)infact all your allegations are as pedestal as those that actually believe you.

Controversy
In June 2008 Alison-Madueke was subject to a Senate probeafter it emerged that as Transport Minister she had paid 30.9 billion naira ($263 million) to contractors between26 and 31 December 2007. [ 12 ] However, she has never been charged or tried for these allegations and has strongly denied any wrongdoing.
In September 2008 there was an unsuccessful attempt to kidnap Alison-Madueke at her house in Abuja. [ 13 ]
In October 2009, the Senate ofNigeria indicted Diezani Alison-Madueke and recommended prosecution for the alleged transfer of 1.2 billion naira into the private account of a toll company without due process and in breach of concession agreement. [ 14 ] However, the allegations have never been taken to law, and the Minister maintains her innocence.

Most Nigerians are worse than their leaders on the pedigree of intellect. How could you be happy with yourself for laboring very hard top to have above junk posted on this forum especially the first paragraph? It is funny you have the words-revealed and questionable in the same sentence in a subject of probe. If the senate had found that Diezani Alison-Madueke had made inappropriate disbursement of government funds to contractors, the senate should recommend for prosecutorial measure against her.

Again it is very childish of you to tread on issue that borders on idiocy. Howard University is an institution of good quality repute and is not in hiding. During the numerous probes by your so-called senate, it would have scooped some facts about Diezani’s truancy at Howard University. Do you not trust the probing ability of Nigerian senate?

In fact at best, you are a useless rumor monger.

I would want you to take a look at the bolded words:
1.)Controversy
In June 2008 Alison-Madueke was subject to a Senate probeafterit emerged that as Transport Minister shehad paid 30.9 billion naira ($263 million) to contractors between26and 31 December 2007.[ 12 ] However, SHE HAS NEVER BEEN CHARGED OR TRIED AND FOR THESE,THOSE ALLEGATIONS WAS BEEN STRONGLY DENIED.

2.)In October 2009, the Senate ofNigeria indicted Diezani Alison-Madueke and recommended prosecution for the alleged transfer of 1.2 billion naira into the private account of a toll company without due process and in breach of concession agreement. [ 14 ] However, THE ALLEGATIONS HAVE NEVER BEEN TAKEN TO LAW.
And this bolded words brings us to the topic:
what is it that Diezani Alison-Madueke says or does that makes the government of Goodluck Jonathan unable to call her toorder?
Sir,how did you omit the bolded words and you stated that
So how come you stated that is the senate not capable of probing her;can you now see that it is either you are losing it or you know the truth but you refuse to say it out,so go back to your corrupt leaders and start licking their p*ussy.

My mistake, you are not only psychotic, but also delusional and suffering from congenital Idiocy. So in your warped and bizzaire thinking jonathan should call Diezani to order for unproven allegations which she denied, or for a black market indictment which is not worth the paper it is printed upon. Mind you all these happened under Yar Adua. Listen Madness starts with paronia and un cordinated ramblings. Your user name and posts indicate early stage insanity. In as much as you are annoying, we don't want to lose you to the naked type, raving kind of Madness. Please schizophrenia is curable,just proceed to the nearest lunatic assylum. Two weeks of sedation with SERENACE under leg and hand chains Should permanently reverse your delusional state.
