More from GEJ's attack dog. See terms used in describing Nigerians whose taxes GEJ spends in eating his 1 Billion naira food..

The Jonathan they don’t know

“They” in this piece refers to all the cynics, the pestle-wielding critics, the unrelenting, self-appointed activists, the idle and idling, twittering, collective children of anger, the distracted crowd of Facebook addicts, the BBM-pinging soap opera gossips of Nigeria, who seem to be in competition among themselves to pull down President Goodluck Jonathan.

Jonathan, Sambo To Spend N1billion On Food In 2012...N16.6million Budgeted As Rent For VP's Residence-Premium Times

Taxpayers will spend a fortune feeding the president and his deputy next year

The Federal Government plans to spend approximately N1 billion in feeding its first and second citizens next year if the National Assembly approves President Goodluck Jonathan's spending proposal as submitted to it last week.

The president and his deputy will together enjoy N992.57 million worth of food and general catering services in 2012.

According to a  detailed analysis of the N4.749trillion  budget the president presented to lawmakers last week, the cost of purchasing food stuffs, catering supplies, kitchen equipments for the president and his vice, and their offices, will cost the nation N992.57 million, about N7 million away from a billion naira.

At N70,000 a month, the N1billion budgeted for presidential feeding would pay the wages of 1,200 Nigerians for a year. Analysts believe that for a nation grappling with widespread poverty and growing unemployment, spending such an amount on food is wasteful.


Notorious for being overloaded with running costs, federal budgets for decades have hardly catered for developmental projects, and where allocations are made for infrastructural development, the projects are hardly ever executed.

President Jonathan has acknowledged that problem in our budgeting system, and has repeatedly announced his administration’s commitment to lowering running cost in favour of more development projects and job creation.

"This administration will promote job creation and inclusive growth by investing in critical infrastructure, human capital development and security, including more support for the police, defence and counter-terrorism operations,” the president told lawmakers last week during the budget presentation.

But while the commitment remains, at least orally, the president’s first constituency, the state house - including his office and residences as well as those of the deputy - has remained one of the top spenders of Nigeria's scarce resources.

In the midst of gnawing hunger in the land, Mr. President spent Billions on acquiring more Jets for his fleet...
FG to Buy 3 New Presidential Jets

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) yesterday approved the purchase of three aircraft worth N22.9 billion to beef up the presidential air fleet (PAF).
The Presidency swiftly moved to explain that the jets were not for the use of the President. The fleet serves the entire apparatus of government – the executive, judiciary, legislature and security services.

Disclosing this to journalists at the end of the weekly council meeting yesterday, Information and Communications Minister, Prof. Dora Akunyili, who was in company with her colleague in the ministry, Mr. Labaran Maku, said the approval was granted after “careful consideration”.
The aircraft, two new Falcons and one Gulfstream G550, will bring to eight the number of aircraft in the presidential fleet.
The two Falcons will cost $102.200 million (N15.3 billion) while the Gulfstream goes for $53.33 million (N7.9 billion).

The first Falcon is expected to be delivered by the end of this year while the second Falcon and the Gulfstream are to be delivered by the second quarter of 2011.
The sum of N21 billion of the total contract sum has already been factored into the 2010 Appropriation Act.
Akunyili also announced that the committee set up for the negotiation of the acquisition of the aircraft was able to get a reduction of the sum of $2.9 million from the proposed price of the two Falcon aircraft and $5.5million from the offer price of the Gulfstream.
Recently, there was a near air disaster involving President Goodluck Jonathan’s aircraft while returning to Nigeria at the end of the 15th African Union General Assembly held Kampala, Uganda.

The aircraft was said to have developed a minor technical fault shortly after take-off thereby forcing the pilot to return to the Entebbe International Airport, Uganda.
The aircraft, however, successfully returned to the country after it was fixed.
Presidential Spokesman, Mr Ima Niboro, told journalist at the State House that the Airforce One being used by the President is not to be replaced but other aircraft in the Presidential Air Fleet (PAF) that are being phased out.

According to him, the proposed three new aircraft, for which provision has been made in the 2010 budget estimates, are not for the use of President Jonathan.
He disclosed that the aircraft would not only be operated as a fleet, but would also be deployed appropriately to serve other principal officers of the Federal Government, including the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“I have to clarify also that these aircraft are not going to be used by the president but what is happening basically is that it is being operated as a fleet and it is being deployed appropriately to serve other purposes, especially serving principal officers of the Federal Government, including, as the case may be, the Senate president and the speaker of the House of Representatives,” he further stated

Nigeria president pardons ex-governor convicted of graft

LAGOS (Reuters) - Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan has pardoned a former state governor convicted in 2007 of stealing public funds and money laundering, the presidency said on Wednesday, a move which in principle allows him to re-enter politics.

Anti-corruption campaigners say sentences handed down to powerful politicians who steal tens of millions of dollars are too soft, and often compare favorably with those handed to petty thieves and robbers.

Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, ex-governor of Nigeria's oil producing Bayelsa state, was sentenced to two years jail in 2007 on charges of corruption and money laundering, but freed days later because he had already been in detention for that long.

He was originally arrested in London in 2005, but he skipped bail and escaped back to Nigeria dressed as a woman. He was later impeached on the charges at home and authorities made efforts to seize much of his property in Britain.

Bayelsa is the heart of the Ijaw ethnic group, to which President Jonathan and Alamieyeseigha both belong. The region accounts for a quarter of Nigeria's 2 million barrels a day plus of oil production.

See how a crony of GEJ stole with GEJ's help!!

How Ex-Nigerian Petroleum Minister, Dan Etete, Laundered Millions Of Dollars



Former Minister of Petroleum Dan Etete laundered hundreds of millions of dollars he extorted from oil companies in a complex web that took investigators years to untangle. Saharareporters has obtained documents that reveal in painstaking detail how Mr. Etete and his main accomplice, Richard Granier-Deferre, executed a series of financial maneuvers that netted them hundreds of millions of dollars.

In a judgment delivered on September 17, 2007, the court in Paris found Dan Etete guilty of aggravated money laundering, defined as the habitual assistance with a transaction for investment, concealment or conversion of the proceeds of a crime. The court sentenced Dan Etete to 3 years imprisonment and ordered him to pay a fine of 300,000 Euros. The court also ordered Dan Etete to pay to the Federal Government of Nigeria the sum of 150,000 Euros as “smart” money and an additional 20,000 Euros under Article 475-1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

“It is evident that Dan Etete’s act, consisting of investing improper funds in various countries… has created, by its nature and its impact, an actual loss in the form of a non-pecuniary loss suffered by the Nigerian State,” the judgment said.

In March 2009, Dan Etete’s appeal of the judgment was overruled.  A French appeal court reaffirmed Dan Etete’s money laundering conviction and fined him a sum of $10.5 million.

Ironically, four years after Mr. Etete’s conviction, President Goodluck Jonathan discreetly approved the transfer of $1.1 billion (N155 billion naira) to the London account of Dan Etete’s company, Malabu Oil. The president took the decision on April 29, 2011, a day before Ms. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala assumed office as the minister of finance. The money came from funds paid to the Federal Government by two multinational companies, Nigeria Agip Exploration Limited and Shell Nigeria as part of the settlement of the Malabu oil block case between the Federal Government, Malabu and the two multinational oil companies.

Investigation by SaharaReporters showed that, as soon as the $1.1 billion was posted to Malabu Oil and Gas London account, it was distributed to the accounts of business associates and cronies of government officials. One of the beneficiaries was a man named Abubakar Aliyu, an individual with close links to President Jonathan.

Mr. Aliyu received $532 (N81 billion) through various companies he owned. Aliyu, notorious for shady deals, has long established business ties to Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, the convicted former governor of Bayelsa state who was recently pardoned by President Jonathan. Mr. Aliyu was also at the center of a NITEL land deal. The shady businessman had bought a parcel of land from the Nigerian government for N1 billion and sold the same land to the Central Bank of Nigeria for N21 billion. Aliyu, long linked with late President Musa Yar’Adua and President Jonathan, is known in Abuja circles as a deal broker who has perfected the art of sharing the loot with government officials who help facilitate his numerous astonishing deals.
