helpee:

stop behaving like an uneducated fellow. we always have security budget. that a money is budgeted for security does not mean the money will come from heaven. they dont have to run to the national assembly everytime they got money to meet budgetary expenses. Did they spend more than the approved amount for security? where they got the money dont matter as long as it is legal and as long as they spend within the limit of the budget. wether the money is used rightly or not is now left for the monitoring committee in the senate

Do you know the meaning of the word 'budget'? Do you want me to send you a dictionary? Why do you empty, poorly educated worms make the loudest noises?

This money was not part of any budget, and the permission of the National assembly should have been sought prior to sharing it out.

helpee:

wether the money is used rightly or not is now left for the monitoring committee in the senate

Unluckily for you sycophants, it is the EFCC and DSS now determining if the monies given to Dasuki were abused and misused. I hope you are loyal enough to visit some of these guys in prison.

1,904,000,000 (1.9 Billion naira) without appropriation.

And who said it wasn't budgeted for? Read her comment again. The money was already approved for but the problem is where to get the money ASAP.

The NSA already had money budgeted for the military purchases but they needed money urgently thus was borrowed some of Abacha's Loot after which the money will be returned when their statutory allocation arrives.

Stop selling crap to us; trying to fool us.

That debt is not a debt in a real sense because the govt borrowed from itself. It didn't borrow from another body or state or country.

I laugh in swahili.

An illegality is an illegality, QED.

There are laws guiding ALL forms of govt spending and borrowings. So long as you spend without appropriation, it is an illegality.

Sit back and be schooled on governance 101 by the new Sheriff in town.

Did you see where Buhari proposed to spend N350bn recovered and returned loot in next year's budget? Why did he not just "borrow" it as GEJ did?
Did your you also observe dat d govt was patient enough to send a supplementary budget to Nass before paying outstanding subsidy claims?

Who else has the power to arbitrarily authorize the CBN to release ex-budgetary funds for security?

That, below, is Dokpesi who confirmed receiving the funds, in court.

The prosecution led by Mr. Rotimi Jacobs (SAN),‎ accused the defendants of receiving, N2.1bn (from the $2.1b under investigation) from the office of the National Security Adviser between October 2014 and March 19, 2015 for the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential media campaign in breach of provisions of the Public Procurement Act, Money laundering Act and the EFCC Act.

All are efforts in futility.

We had a president. He should be the one explaining what happened to all the funds entrusted in his care. His explanation should implicate or exculpate members of his administration.

Jonathan is truly a mo.ron. And for those who take solace in the phantom accolades he is gathering abroad, read the history of Osama bin Laden, Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein and the current President of Zimbabwe. Take awards from the West with a pinch of salt. Since they believe that Africans are intellectually a little bit above wild animals, the awards are like rewarding a Downs Syndrome kid who was able to pronounce his name well. Yep. It is that low.

Some Nigerians are just funny. A minister or president does not have the power to spend any funds not budgeted for. That money should have been paid into the federation account and a supplementary budget sent to the NA for approval.

GEJ and NOI should be ashamed of themselves especially the so called Harvard graduate who oversaw the looting of the country's wealth.

She should save her defence for EFCC because they will soon be knocking on her door.
save your breath bros... EFCC will never invite her for questioning...
Buhari still have to do more diggings and find more trumped up charges, create more lies and propaganda before EFCC can make any case against her.

Dasuki asked for it and NOI delivered but asked Dasuki to report to GEJ on how the funds were utilised which is abit funny because its her constitutional obligation to monitor how the fund is spent and not the job of the president. Its like trading place, Madam is president and GEJ is finance minister.
On seeing NOI letter to Dasuki about reporting to GEJ instead of her, I now believe OBJ when he said Nigeria have 5 Presidents and GEJ is the most weak.

Under a dictatorial but prudent and calculative OBJ govt , she did excellently well. Under a corrupt, greedy, indiscipline and clueless GEJ govt, her policies could not save the country. Leadership is the bane of this nation.

Ngozi Okonjo Iweala can never be the next world bank president. As a matter of speculation, the World Bank already knows she is corrupt and pervert. She has just proven that she isn't a saint. She is a potential criminal awaiting a competent court to pronounce the guilty verdict. She is an accomplice to the crime of diversion and looting of public funds, money laundering and abuse of office. Infact, she engineered the process of looting; created the avenue for fraud deliberately

Time will tell, we will see her to jail when proven guilty.

Buhari proposed to spend from the recovered loot because he has reasons to believe he will recover such amount. In the case of Jonathan, the Abacha's loot wasn't in the budget because they didn'thave prior knowledge that it would be refunded. Perhaps they would have included it in their next budget if they had remained in power.

You guys can keep on chasing shadows. One thing I know is that Okonjo-Iweala is wiser than all of Buhari's cabinet combined together. You guys have nothing on her.

Well I dont think NOI has done anything wrong in this one... she sourced for funds, got an approval from the president and she released the funds to the NSA.

However in order to forestall any future flimsy accusations, it would be nice if NOI just prepared a comprehensive register of all approvals she gave for fund disbursements. It's obvious that everything about the way government was run was shrouded in undue secrecy, you cant blame people for wagging their tongues and throwing accusations around when they keep seeing details of fund movement without records of what the funds were used for.

Money was paid for military hardware which were never delivered. It all boils down to one conclusion, pass the bulk of fund monitoring to the president as he is no economist/accountant which makes it easy to dribbling him with figures. If NOI disburse and monitored the funds according to her constitutional duties then it will be hard for such occurence because she's a seasoned book keeper.
No wonder GEJ is confused about figures being brought to him as he has no recollection of such.

I laugh when I hear all this gibberish about Okonjo Iweala and Dasuki and the rest.
Remember Buhari govt of old thrived on populist propaganda of fighting corruption. Ask yourself if he was so go why did all the members of the military hierarchy easily removed him without as much as firing a single shot right in his parlor in Dodan Barrack?
Ask yourself during Buhari era what happened to the armed forces? 33,000 soldiers were sacked. imagine 33,00 men losing their jobs after fighting to bring a govt to power. the benefit to the armed forces was sack of their personnel.
What happened to the economy? There was no money to make importation. everyone had to queue for import license which was so skewed and corruption infested that the real guys who needed import license were sidelined and a sure mean for Companies like Coca Cola et to repatriate their funds from Nigeria.
All this noise is just a digression from the real issues affecting us today which are listed below:

The petrol price is still 140 naira per litre as against the subsidized N87 per litre.
The price of kerosene is now N160 per litre as against the subsidized 50 naira per litre.
Ibe Kachukwu has been dropped by OPEC as their Chairman and replaced by another person. No one is telling us what happened to Kachukwu which has caused this country this national embarrassment.
The Soldiers fighting Boko Haram are still being killed in droves.
The Boko Haram fights is not ever finishing on 31st December 2015.
The subsidy is still being paid when they declared there is no subsidy but it was fraud when GEJ was paying it.
The Chibok girls are still missing and more girls have been kidnapped since 6 months ago.
Kanu of Biafran Radio is still in jail after being granted bail. remember what goes around comes around.
Foreign exchange has skyrocketed from N190/$ during GEJ to N261/$ as at yesterday.
Manufacturers are groaning because they cannot import spare parts or buy new equipment for their factories.
These are the issues that should occupy our minds and stop bothering about Dasuki and Dokpesi. Eventually we will hear that Dasuki died in detention if he eventually tells them he also shared the money to fuel Buhari's campaign.
Now we hear the Director of Maritime Academy in Oron suddenly dropped dead in Abuja when invited to explain what happened to the billions of naira paid to him and he was asking for the monies to develop the school.
No body is talking about human lives lost due to Boko Haram and even the young lady killed by the military bullets during the Biafra riot in Onitsha..
Nobody is talking about the current cabals frolicking with Buhari who is the current Minister of Petroleum.
We the youths should be retrospective in our reaction to red herrings sent by those in govt to deviate attention.
Now everybody is singing Dasuki and Dokpesi. Everone has forgotten about fuel scarcity and Boko haram and High rate if forex. They have a new source of fascination. They will hold onto this for a very long time since these type of vindictive news holds our attention. They will perpetrate all manner of evil while we stuck glued to Dasuki and Dokpesi. By the time the news become stale in our minds the evil they have planted must have gained a permanent place in our society and we can only grumble. By then we cannot come out to Nairaland to comment or air our views because the National assembly instead of passing the whistleblower protection bill and PIB bill are running with speed to promulgate bill banning social media use by the very poor like me and you. Why are they scared of the social media which they manipulated to their advantage to win elections. Suddenly they want to muzzle us with a stupid law that will send us to prison for 2 years as well as extract 2 million naira from us if we are given an option of fine.
Keep on rambling on about Dokpesi and Dasuki. The money will never be put to good use. Are they basing their budget on recoverable loans from past looters? NO.
Be wise and be show intellect and tact in handling government propaganda.

Okay let me show you. See the excerpts below (note the bolded)



So you can see from the bolded that anything the ministers does is within the budgetary requirement as approved by the National Assembly.

Every agency within the executive has an annual budget which is approved by the National Assembly. I believe NSA isn't an exception. So unless you can prove that the amount spent by NSA for the year in question was above the budgeted amount I'm sorry you have no case here.

Let me agree with you that there was an approved budget for the fiscal year. Let us assume that the funding of the budget on short term basis would depend on the government.

If the Abacha loot was not returned in that fiscal year, should that budget not be executed. Was that returned loot budgeted as an expected income for that fiscal year? it was not budgeted as an expected income for 2014 nor 2015 fiscal year

Besides, since when did the office of the National Security Advicer become responsible for security budget implementation, arms and military equipment procurement and requisition of funds for security expenditures execution.

Listen, if you care, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala connived with GEJ, Dasuki and others to divert and loot public funds. As the minister of finance she can not be innocent, just as CBN governor, GEJ, Dasuki and other principal actors can't be innocent.

She deserves to be sentenced to jail along with others. Please increase the prison capacity, we have high profile criminals enroute jail.
