Jona is corrupt by default....

If this politics section were an actual room, you'd see broken bottles on the ground, bullet holes on the walls, blood splattered on the wall...
It would be a room painted yellow, washed out (faded) yellow with a single 60W bulb dangling from the ceiling as well as a fan, those slow moving kind of fans.

The kind of room that would put the fear of god in your soul. This place is way too violent.

Oh and you'd see a poster of sincere9gerian on the wall- wanted dead or alive . But ofcourse, the problem is that the dude is faceless; nobody knows who he is. You would probably have some opposing (APC) snipers and special forces always on the lookout for the dude.

He sneaks in at night, shouts his comments in the cover of the night at which point, you would hear the rattling gunshots shooting anywhere and everywhere for the guy. Somehow his voice drowns out the entire gunshots.

This is a very violent place.

Sincere 9gerian: When the NASS, especially house of reps, politicizes or fumbles and wumbles with probes (eg the Farouk Lawan and SEC probe bribe scandal), then it is only RIGHT that the president conducts his own probe and acts based on his own probe or investigations. For example, the probe by the presidential committee on fuel subsidy established fraudulent practices by fuel marketers initially cleared by house of reps. After all, in the end, the buck stops on the president's table and he has to act based on a well-informed position.

Personally, I cannot touch any of house of reps jaundiced, APCnized, Tinubunized, Buharinized and bribe-tainted probe reports with a 10 metre pole. I dont know about you.

Meanwhile, we are still expecting the report of the house committee that probed bribery allegation against Farouk and the clerk of the house. It seems when the probe involves members of the house of reps, it goes on FOREVER.

Why hasn't Jonathan put Farouk Lawan and other crooks in the House of Reps and others in the society behind the bar? Simple, they are doing the same thing Jonathan is doing, which is LOOTING. A president that budgets 1.3 billion naira yearly for food, definitely has not moral right to jail any other looter.

I can swear d speaker knew n had a share of faroukgate dollar,so which means they vow to protect their decendant of corrupt seeds,they shud be ashame dat d white knew their low pedegree of reasoning n having seen naija to b of great mind used this decendant anti development to take us backward but thanks God 4 d never-giveup naija spirit.

Mr Speaker, then go ahead and commence proceedings for his impeachment, i double dare you Sir.
no need whining on media.
...and to think that you have the slightest of chances to defeat GEJ in 2015, keep on dreaming - they'll soon play your music and you must dance.

Tambuwal is suffering from selective Amnesia. Farouk comes to mind, Tambuwal got his share of the $600,000 and mangled the reports to protect Facrouk.

When did Jonathan become the police? When did Jonathan become the Judge? Is he the EFCC? Are those bodies not independent bodies?

Why are they not in jail? Because the rretardeen and his crime fighting agencies are not doing their job.

You can come up with all your irrelevant run arounds, but the ball remains in rretardeen's incompetent court and if I might add, you are basically agreeing with the speaker...


You people no get common sense sha....especially you.

Jonathan is Hugely Corrupt.!

Before the end of this week.
- Tambuwal's Police escorts Withdrawn
- House of Reps Speakers Private Home in Wuse Marked for Demolition
- Unknown Man challenges Tambuwal's Election in Abuja High Court

Jesus wept

plaindealer:


If according to you Tambuwal is corrupt, so why is he not hounding corrupt officials like Tambuwal and putting them in jail?

Is this not what we want him to do and are you not directly agreeing with Tambuwal himself?

You are just too dull and mentally deficient.

Look at you. No wonder Adamus like you support Buhari. Is going around houding people how to develop a nation? Did you see Mandela going around hounding all his corrupt predecessors? Pumpkin like you. The job of a president is to develop a country and fix infrastructure and the economy, not to go around houding people. The same people who will still come and say he is witchunting them and get support from coconuts like you. Abeg shift with your primary school brain joor!

Tambuwal I may agree wth u but d tin is u guy are no beter than armed robbers but b rest assure we WI get u from door to door and East u al. Hp u ppl r seeing wat is hpnin in oda part of d world ours wl b worst!!!

Too much movies dey worry you. You think all these apc e-rats get liver to fight. They are like the regular Lagos agberos. All they have is mouth to insult. Then they will clinch their fists and be jumping from left to right, shouting ahh! ahh! ahh! Oloriburuku! Yalaya! etc, etc. That is as far as they will go. They will never ever actually fight! They are cowards and noise makers. Liverless buffons!

In warri, when we say "I go slap you oh"! It is normally accompanied with a sample slap. We no dey talk too much!

You people will vote for him (GEJ) come 2015

CharliParker: You people will vote for him (GEJ) come 2015

Massively bro and why not? Because one iddiot, Tambuwal, made a stup1d statement for his own selfish political gain? He aint fooling no one but himself

the anambra election made me to loose the trust I personally have on our president, and thousands of my anambra people felt the same way, because of personal interest he had to allowed such an open rigging to take place, the rigging is too open for a sincere president to pretend as if he did not see it, it is unacceptable to be sincere.

Once Upon a Time in Nigeria..." To be continue"

obailala:

I'm really sick of this shallow Nigerian mentality of always saying "the messenger is ALSO corrupt therefore has no right to say the truth"...

@Godsbrown
Going by the bolded part of ur statement, you are simply saying that no single corrupt person on earth should ever be criticized or punished except the punishment is going to be carried out by God himself (who has no sin)....

We really need to examine the way we analyze issues like this in Nigeria... The baby should never be thrown out with the bath water... so also, the truth should never be thrown away with the messenger

oga pls read well before soliciting for like buttons.....i said if any body is criticising..it shouldnt be tambuwal...and it seems u dont know the meaning of what u bolded...cheers

Am just amazed that Nigerians voted in a man that has no ideology nor common sense as President, is this what the South South can really offer? Is this man the best from that region? I bet he is not worth a councillor in some other climes, what a waste of votes!

agabaI23: When did Jonathan become the police? When did Jonathan become the Judge? Is he the EFCC? Are those bodies not independent bodies?

What is this one saying? Is he not the head of state? Can't he give order or you don't know the meaning of president?

The gist of what Tambuwal said can be captured by the following quotes:

“What the President should have done was to explicitly direct the EFCC to probe the matter. With such directives coming from the President, I am sure we still have good people in EFCC who can do a good job,” Mr. Tambuwal said.

“By the action of setting up different committees for straightforward cases, the president’s body language doesn’t tend to support the fight against corruption.”

Tambuwal the democrat must refrain from heating up the polity by making these quotes or even allowing himself to be misquoted. President Jonathan is not required to direct EFCC to do anything if truly EFCC is independent as we all want it to be. EFCC is meant to act once they receive information worthy of further investigation. Secondly, all over the civilised world, leaders and heads of government are required to set up an administrative commission once there is a need for it.

There are people out there who are disappointed with Jonathan for acting very presidential. He must act as a democrat always. That will surely be his legacy. I applaud him for not pandering to the haters or showing signs of knee jerk reaction. He must remain above the fray at all times. People did criticize Mandela and Obama for being clueless. However they persisted, yet their respective countries are reaping the dividend of their statesmanship and focused leadership.

What is corruption. The HOR is the most corrupt body in Nigeria, and 'Hon' Tambuwal, the most corrupt and bestial of them all. This is a man that has 52 official cars from HOR. This is a man that is appropriating 55 Billion naira for his office expenses annually. To date, he has refused to publish his 'official' expenses or budgets. I find it peculiar that these people tend to pretend to be 'men of the people' whilst lining their pockets. We most definitely do not need any lesson from this squalid man.

In general, corruption in Nigeria was started by Gen Murtala and Obasanjo. After the civil war, they became impatient to 'rule' Nigeria. They embarked on a disastrous 'rule' which their children and grand children are reaping currently. In 1975, they sacked all the higher cadre of the civil and public service and created a corrupt civil service. They filled same with uneducated and unqualified staff, who did not abide with the civil service ethos. Murtala fraternised with Abiola, and other shady characters, paying them for non-existent contracts. This inevitably led to the locust years of Babangida and Abacha. Nigeria eventually became the most corrupt nation on earth.

The populace, including NL should continue to demand fairness, equity and justice. We must aim first to be the best in ECOWAS, then Africa, before comparing Nigeria with Denmark. It has taken 40 years to get to this level. It will take another 40 years to rid Nigeria of corruption. We are all involved in this.

taharqa: What NONSENSE is Tambuwal saying? He mentioned 4 cases to 'prove' his point: Subsidy case, Pension Thieves, NSE Probe and Oduah's case. The Subsidy suspects are been prosecuted in court as we speak (after d same HOR messed up their own Probe panel); the Pension Thieves are also been prosecuted in court; the NSE President case was simply a case of PERSECUTION by members of d HOR who were angry Mrs exposed one of them of attempting to demand bribes from her (Hembe, d member of HOR in question, is presently been prosecuted in court), no case of corruption either from a PriceWatersCorpers or even d HOR probe report itself ever established any corruption case against her; while, d Oduah case report is not yet out. How then is d President 'condoling Corruption'??..... Anyways, let Tambuwal not worry. The 'hammar' wud soon move towards him and his cohorts in d house. Maybe then he wud properly undastand what 'condoling' reali is....

you spoke well but you forgot Farouk Lawan/ femi otedola case. if tambuwel want to fight corruction, let him start from the house by expelling Farouk Lawan who collected bribe from the house. jonathan has sudenly become the bone in every persons throat.
watch the video of lawel collecting bribe

If he starts giving orders to EFCC and the Police, then Nigeria will be labelled a Police state. Is that what you realistically want? Perhaps you have not appreciated what his constitutional role is? The Nigerian constitution is online for your education. For the avoidance of doubt, Jonathan is not allowed to order an independent organ of the state to do anything, except those allowed by the constitution. In setting up the EFCC, Obasanjo made it such that future presidents cannot interfere with their operations, tweet Ribadu if in doubt. Ignorance is cancer and start wars if left unchecked.

The same pardon Umaro Dikko was granted was the same Alamesiegh was given. Why do you people like scoring cheap points. Oya, GEJ is more corrupt than IBB that legalized corruption in Nigeria. POT CALLING KETTLE BLACK.

donphilopus: Without being told, we're already aware of that.

The day I started believing, he encourages corruption; was when he granted his ex boss Diepreye Alaimaisigha, former governor of Bayelsa state a state pardon! After he was arrested and released over corrupt practices! So I won't be perplexed, if he doesn't take any action against Oduah.

Mr. Speaker has spoken well.But d unwillingness of d National Assembly 2 impeach Jonathan having found dat he is encouraging corruption is another corruption on d side of National Assembly and Mr. Speaker is not an exception.

Na serious action film dey happen here o. Chai!!

Jonathan on their mind ....

A United Nations-backed report by Nigeria's Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) on Monday meanwhile reported that the country's sea ports, including in the commercial capital Lagos, were riddled with corruption.

Bribery and gift-giving to customs officials were seen as a "legitimate and accepted tool to promote business interests" while a lack of integrity rules gave companies no option but to comply, it added.

Well said. The UN backed report exposing the blinkered few. Does Tambuwal read these? Food for thought.
