Another epistle from the Chief wailing wailer of NL

This is the same person that wrote a lengthy pile of rubbish eulogizing his fellow Ijaw man- Alamco. He told us that Alams is a honest thief because he owned up to his crimes. Hypocrite. I noticed that out of shame, he did not call on the mods to push that reprehensible thread to the FP.

Only a deaf dumb and blind person will not notice that there is a war against political corruption in Nigeria. The third most powerful person in Nigeria, Saraki, an APC member is currently facing corrupt charges, how else can Buhari show his determination in curbing corruption? The NNPC has started releasing Monthly reports on its operations- detailing the performance of refineries, purchasing decisions and overall financial capacity. That is unheard of in Nigeria and a sign of positive change. Not good enough but it is a start.


This government has not spent 6 months in power and you are already asking questions you did not ask your fellow Ijaw man in the 6 years he spent in destroying Nigeria's public finances.

A former Minister of Petroleum that reportedly stole billions of dollars from this nation (another fellow Ijaw like the OP) has suddenly developed breast cancer when this government started probing her activities. The same woman that was jumping up and down campaigning for Jonathan's re-election a few months ago.

The majority of Nigerians voted for Buhari and we will judge him by his performance in the long term and not by redundant and self serving narratives from inconsequential and poverty motivated 'political analysts'.

People will start taking the OP and his 'type' seriously when they proffer solutions to Nigeria's problems instead of writing a timeline of events or boring us to death with historical analyses.

Shalom.....

Well summarized lesson for the Chief Wailer.

@ the emboldened, I have always said it that PMB's performance will not be judged by the noise churned out by PDP and their online wailers but by the generality of Nigerians based on real impact in the areas that matter.

The fact remains that if a repeat of the last presidential election was to hold today, PMB will trash GEJ by even a wider margin than the last election. In that lies a lesson for those who wish to learn a thing or two.

Nigeria is a very unique country with her way of doing things. We all agree that corruption is one of the biggest clog in the wheel of our progress. We all complain on how elected and appointed politicians and civil servants steal our common wealth. It is a consensus that billions of dollars borrowed on "our behalf" by people on authorities at all levels. Despite all these, we have degenerated into the level of "investigate, arrest and prosecute your own thief but leave mine alone". How did we get this low?

Olusegun Obasanjo Era: "Well Done Sir Bur Prosecute Them All"
Before the return of democracy in 1999, corruption was like a norm in Nigeria. It denied Nigerians social amenities and put the masses in abject poverty. The coming of EFCC and ICPC to try corruption, bribery and other economic crimes in 2003 brought a sigh of relief to Nigerians. Nigerians always celebrate whenever a BIG fish is arrested by former EFCC Chairman Mallam Nuhu Ribadu. Among the top shots that fell to EFCC/ICPC hammer are exMinister Fabian Osuji, ex-Senate President Adolphus Wabara, ex-IGP Tafa Balogun, ex-Gov late Diepreye Alamesiegha, several senators etc. In addition, major top-shots like ex-VP Atiku Abubakar, ex-Chairman of NPA Olabode George(who as at that time was the PDP Deputy National Chairman, South), 33 state governors etc were indicted by the EFCC under the Obasanjo administration. Not even the excuse of Alhaji Garba Shehu, the spokesman for Atiku Abubakar's accusation that the old Ota farmer was getting back at Atiku and other 'perceived' enemies because of the failed third term bid could sail through. Neither did Nigerians take any sermon of political 'witch-hunt' as valid defence. We all wanted people to be brought to book.

Though Nigerians commended Obasanjo's fight, the accusation of selective prosecution was prominent in the socio-political space. Specifically, Obasanjo repeatedly shielded Olabode George from prosecution despite the indictment against him since 2003. The song on the lips of Nigerians was "well done sir but prosecute them all"

Umaru Yar'adua Era: "Stop shielding corrupt elite, prosecute them all"
When Yar'adua took over office, he was expected to allow the EFCC prosecute the outgoing Vice President Atiku Abubakar and all corrupt governors that were indicted while in office having lost their immunity. Alas, Yar'adua introduced the 'plea bargain' that allows a man that steals billions to bargain and surrender a few millions in exchange. For instance, ex-Edo state Governor Lucky Nosakhare Igbenedion was indicted by Ribadu-led EFCC of looting $24million of Edo state fund, he was convicted by court under plea bargain and was asked to pay a meagre N3.5million. Yar'adua also appointed Michael Aandooaka, the defence counsel to James Ibori, George Akume etc as Attorney-General of the Federation. The administration moved to remove Mallam Nuhu Ribadu from his position as EFCC boss and whittled down the prosecution powers of EFCC, ICPC and CCB. Nigerians wailed and cried that corruption is being rewarded while anti-corruption punished. Yar'adua also nominated and appointed Senator Adamu Aliero, a former governor of Kebbi state and then serving senator as FCT minister. Aliero was earlier indicted by the EFCC for corruption.
Our call through out the administration was "Stop shielding corrupt elite, prosecute them all"

Goodluck Jonathan Era: "Stop Institutionalising Corruption"
Although, credit to Jonathan that he was keen on separating the Yams from the Goats(according to his famous Goat and Yam theory). He signed the Freedom of Information bill into law, introduced policies that encourage transparency, but he failed to pursue cases against 'Goats' that ate 'yams' before and during his administration, especially his appointees. Those that were indicted in subsidy investigation and those that focused their attention on public resources were given freehand. For instance, Abdulrasheed Maina, was appointed as Chairman of Presidential Task Force on Pension Reform was indicted by the Senate over allegation that he looted N193billion of pensioners money, yet it took consistent wailing from Nigerians before Jonathan bothered to remove him from office. He wasn't prosecuted. Similar case was that of Stella Oduah who was indicted for N260million car saga. Though we have to credit Jonathan's government for indicting Sule Lamido and Murtala Nyako. Under Jonathan, corruption technically became 'Institutionalised'. Nigerians cry became "stop institutionalising corruption"

Muhammadu Buhari Era: "Prosecute Your Own Thief, Leave Mine For Me"
Buhari was elected on the platform of change mantra. Apart from the usual "Sai Baba" crew, there are people that thumb-printed for Buhari and APC did so on the premise of fighting corruption. Just two days on taking office, Buhari government withdrew the ongoing corruption case against Timpre Sylva and now rewarded him with party ticket for Bayelsa election. Pa Audu Abubakar only recently promised to return the monies he stole when he was in government. The EFCC has deliberately refused to work on the petitions against ex-Govs Rotimi Amaechi, Raji Fashola etc. In fact, the infamous N78million for 'website' and N128million appropriated just for TWO boreholes by Raji Fashola is being treated with levity. We all know that CONTRACT INFLATION is a crime according to EFCC Act. In fact, one of the charges against Olabode George was contract inflation. Despite his glaring hypocrisy, the President must be credited for the ongoing prosecution of Senator Bukola Saraki and the invitation of some ex-governors by the EFCC. Unlike during the Obasanjo era when people celebrate when someone is arrested for financial crimes, this era people first check the name of who's arrested, his party and then decide whether or not to shout 'Sai Baba' or to cry 'witch hunt'. In fact, APC fans will justify rewarding their corrupt chieftains with federal appointments. Some PDP fans and Chieftains will cry dictatorship and witch-hunt when the axe falls on PDP Chieftains irrespective of the merit of the case. It is now a talk of "prosecute your own thief but leave mine alone".

It is shameful and unpatriotic that people no longer pay heed to the financial crimes of officials. They forget that there is no honor in trying to shield the same people that looted our common wealth from facing their crimes. It is more disappointing that the Buhari-led administration is leading the charge in this new trend of prosecute their thieves but reward our own.



May God Bless Us All And Bless Nigeria

You no seem am soooo,

People tends to jump to comment without taking a cursory look at what is going on,

I believe that prosecution of thief should be complete and total because, "Oju afo ifotan, ija ni da sile" One blind eye man na wahala him dey bring oooh.

#Allthief must be prosecuted wheither PDP or APC, that should be the case, not "FORGET ABOUT HIS CORRUPTION (STEALING) but consider his capability and antecedent.

Nigeria shall be great.

Well said

TonyeBarcanista:

Bros, we all agree that Buhari was backed majorly by people of questionable character BUT it is not a defence for alleged corrupt official. In fact, Buhari must prosecute all criminals irrespective of political, ethnic or religious affiliation.

dreamer

chymystique:
PMB and APC's anti corruption campaign is for their enemies ONLY.... If PMB was a true man of integrity as he claimed, he wouldnt ve nominated these alleged criminals and those that ve cases/petitions against them to be members of his cabinet. According to APC's theorem,
"When you are a member of their party and in Good terms with the president and Political Godfathers eg, BAT, you are automatically cleansed of your sins of corruption and now a SAINT"...

This Four years One chance ride with the ruling party aint going to be an easy one

twill be the easiest in 16yrs

BlackBaron:
Lol. Thought Jonathan was a saint as claimed by ...

Buhari's reputation would be torn to shreds if he doesn't show forth a willingness to combat looters within and outside. Shows how badly structured the country is. The supposed best governors Fashola and Akpabio implicated in scandals. Only the latter got hauled in...

Still shows a lack of independence and a spineless judiciary who seem to swing back and forth between whichever government is in power.

na you go pay dia chldrens school fees

lawflec:
Only God knows why Yar adua died. The only truthful president Nigeria ever had.....
No wonder he openly advocated that section 308 be either amended or abrogated.. He saw no reason why he, the president, should be immuned from criminal prosecution.. Not this upright man helping his cronies milk Nigeria in the name of i hate kworroption.
Rip musa Yar adua.

yar adua that refsed to build cancer abi na kidney hospital ba
you really think anything substantial could have come from a pdp man
