'Chemical Ali'; not "comical Ali".

BTW, 'Chemical Ali' was not the propagandist, it was Saed Al Sahaf.

If Femi can't get that right, and can't provide solid proof for his illusion, how am I to believe any sh!t he is selling . . . "opinions are like arm pits, everyone has them, and most of them stink".

Even if those who returned the looted funds comes out openly to declare that they returned money, people like Femi Aribisala will still call it propaganda and not believe. He is a chronic wailer who will never see anything good in the current administration. People like him should not be taken seriously.

The 'recovered' funds are still under litigation or 'interim seizure'.

If someone takes you to court over your own land, you won't be able to build a house on it until the end of the court case.

Why add it to the list of recovered funds when they are fully aware it is still under litigation? If that is not lying, I wonder what else it is.

This doesn't even make sense. The Iraqi Government wasn't the one claiming they had WMDs, the U.S and the "coalition" were.

This Mr.Arbisala man, from everything I can glean of him, doesn't seem to be stable.

If you see it as lying then you should suggest another name for it.

If a man picks another's pocket, even though the item is recovered from the thief, the owner won't be allowed to leave with it if the matter is in court.

If you have another name for this process i'd b happy to learn it.

It appeard the dude is way more informed than you are.

Here's what Wikipedia says about the matter:

Al-Sahhaf is known for his daily press briefings in Baghdad during the 2003 Iraq War. His colorful appearances caused him to be nicknamed "Baghdad Bob"[4] (in the style of previous propagandists with geographical aliases – some of them alliterative, such as "Hanoi Hannah" and "Seoul City Sue"wink by commentators in the United States. He was nicknamed "Comical Ali" (a wordplay allusion to Chemical Ali, the nickname of former Iraqi Defence Minister Ali Hassan al-Majid) by commentators in the United Kingdom; commentators in Italy similarly nicknamed him "Alì il Comico".

ISpiksDaTroof & Activa

Both of you are the ones getting it wrong, the guy in question was doing exactly what Lai Mohammed is doing in Nigeria: silly attempts to brain wash the Iraqi nationals into believing lies. He actually said that US army and their coalition will surrender or be destroyed by Iraq.

See an excerpt from Wikipedia:

His pronouncements included claims that American soldiers were committing suicide "by the hundreds" outside the city, and denial that there were any American tanks in Baghdad, when in fact they were only several hundred meters away from the press conference where he was speaking and the combat sounds of the nearing American troops could already be heard in the background of the broadcast. On another occasion he spoke of the disastrous outcomes of previous foreign attempts to invade Iraq, citing an unspecified western history book and inviting the journalists present to come to his home to read it. His last public appearance as Information Minister was on April 8, 2003, when he said that the Americans "are going to surrender or be burned in their tanks. They will surrender, it is they who will surrender".

This shows how pathetic some APC folks on NL are, and how they habitually push their unverified opinions as fact.

Now that their rants against Femi have been debunked as fallacies, lets watch and see if they'd be men enough to admit their wrong openly and apologise for those silly rants. grin grin

1. What is your point exactly? Given what I've written, and what Femi said. I know him by his real name Al sahaf. He knows him as 'comical Ali' which I do not know him as, 'cause there is a Chemical Ali who was of course the known one way back from the 1980s, when he gassed his own people . . . and as you rightly pointed out, 'comical Ali' was a derivative of 'chemical Ali's alias.

2. How does knowing, or not knowing one of Al Sahaf's numerous aliases ultimately substitute for proof of Femi's assertion that there is no $9b?

My point is that you discredited femi's comment and undermined his entire credibility wrongly while projecting your false opinion as the last factual word on the matter. That's wrong. Very wrong.

That'd be weighty if that actually has anything in form of proof or disproof of his allegation, that a gov't would take it upon itself to claim recovery of non-existent funds.

If going by your logic: "undermined his entire credibility wrongly while projecting your false opinion as the last factual word on the matter", because of name vs alias, we could say far, far, worse for Femi then . . . he should have substantiated his claims.

Femi was only trying to show you that this govt. tells unwholsome lies with impunity just like the failed Iraqi govt. F

emi did not say that the goverment did not recover $9 billion. He only adviced that Nigerians should take the report with a large pinch of salt as doing otherwise would show that we have not learnt anything from the lying tradition of this govt. since the last one year.

Femi even went on to list a number of other cases where the govt. clearly lied to the populace deliberately.

The way I see it, disputing the fact that lies are emaneting too much from this govt. simply puts a question mark on your own credibility.
Re: Vanguard Columnist Femi Aribisala Doesn’t Believe FG Recovered $9bn Loot by Nobody: 12:36am On Jun 08, 2016
The government has been quite cagey with information about the recovered fund. This has made it easy for cheap political innuendos and uninformed conjectures. Why can't the government just lay the facts bare before everyone and free itself from the trust issue it is currently facing? The figures released are too opaque for any objective Nigerian to believe.
It's better the government didn't say anything than the vague figures it came out with.
