if dora akunyuli had been hausa when she was running nafdac - we all know what we would be hearing

Shot!! Simply SHOT!?!?! The guy is nice OOOO! Toooo nice. And if he is that nice then I am worried that he may not be up to snuff - if the job he has started is to be done well!! Haba JUST SHOT!?!?

Again, picture this, imagine that I am one of the very luckiest Nigerians and I happened to save - by dint of excruciating hard work, phenomenal favor of The Almighty, total self-depriving savings - ten million naira. (Bear in mind this is a country where unemployment is rife, business is difficult - no electricity, bad roads - long story short - no infrastructure literarily; extreme corruption). So you see, being son of no man I'd have needed all the luck and favor The Almighty Himself could give me, to have gotten to that point.

Any way, now, with my grand savings of ten million naira I retire officially at sixty five (had to cut my age by five years because it was the only way I could meet the age requirement for the job thirty years earlier and I, of course, did not want to starve) aching with the pain of a body that had been over worked and should have retired earlier and say I put my money is sea bank international plc or jump bank plc or jumbo strength unreliable bank or bank qjc plc - I am sure you get the point,

So being old, weak, tired and humbled - broken by the stress of a hard life but glad that I gathered some change (and that is what my paltry ten million naira is by bank CEOs and their hangers on standards) and now retire to live on the interest of my investment and life savings, which as a fixed deposit in a bank would earn me ten percent per annum (if GOD continues to favor me but more likely less given the reality on ground). But I am contented and figure that, say, seven hundred thousand a year would be enough to pay rents, buy me bread and tea and trifles for the grand kids for the rest of my life. That I'll at least live my last days in some dignity without having to beg.

But then mr or mrs CEO decides to buy a jet or home in "London Town" and "New Yark" and "Pariee" and give contracts to build/rent branches for billions in places that do not make sense (let's not talk about environmental impact assessment for traffic of some of these branches, especially in Lagos, or the effects if they had done the right thing and loaned out the money to legit businesses that would have generated jobs) but rather and in short stole deposits of poor men like me and their banks go the way of many other such institution and my deposit is trapped, lost, gone with a failed bank!!

The only sane option then would very well be suicide - pure and simple!! because there is nothing to live on or for anymore.

For someone under such circumstances to expect some failed bank corporation to do anything in good time would be a self-deluding exercise in futility. We all know that we have no pension public or private that is worth talking about - even those who are entitled to it officially, don't get it.

It is stolen and or they are frustrated into given up on it to death - literarily and when they are pitied and given "what they are given" it is not worth going to get from where they get it - if they can even afford the cost of transportation to go and get it. i.e. where the cost of transportion is not more than what they are to get. Sad ehn?!!

Now, bearing that in mind, the Mallam says they should simply be shot!!! That's too nice!!! I am serious!!! We need to watch that guy - he is beginning to compromise. I still recommend 150 years - no parole - in a six by four cell for the rest of their lives like the thoughtless animals they are!!!. And add twelve lashes of the cane each morning to their sentences. These people are heartless. Just look at the depth of our collective needless suffering, and dreams that could have been realized, but which have be permanently stifled!!

So what if the Mallam says they should be spared a couple of well deserved decades or more in prison to think over their evil ways by being shot, that is by the way excusable in the least except for the fact that he (Mallam) appears to be softening by recommending an easy way out for them. To end it is what they should do on their own - shameless people!!

I am sure there is some element of self preservation in your trying to muddy the waters - talking about an aside like someone was nice enough to suggest they should be shot!! (I think they they would be luck if that was the case but suspect they will be even much luckier; regardless!!!.)

However - I pray the judges and courts can think and see the implications, the gravity and level of depravity of their actions and that they (judges and courts) have a conscience - I pray also that The Almighty pay all of you back in kind!!! Perpetrators, Cooperators, Beneficiaries and Hangers on!!.!.

****wheres the dddaaammmmnnnnnn gun***** ,

he should start shooting already.

yeye man .

its a pity that the banking industry is going the way it is, but heck i dont do banking.

***i keep my money behind the door, like bakin zuwo****

Those who lives in glass house should not throw stones.
after leaving the post we shall see what will befall him.

The comments of those people here against SANUSI's simply shows that most Nigerians are corrupt,

only sey the opportunity never near dem to express themselves. What did Sanusi say wrong please?

I totally agree with Sanusi, afterall the whole world is angry at Nigerians because of the fact that corrupt leaders

walk free on the streets without being prosecuted. Abeg u guyz should leave SAnusi alone. He's saying the TRUTH!

@Ndu Chuks

Well done on ur early remarks on this thread. I like them

SLS went overboard with that statement even if that's what the average Nigerian feels inside. Not the perfect way to express one's disgust.

Whatever he is doing, he is probably doing it well. You will agree that someone has to bring sanity into the banking industry and into the country at large.

Sanusi is just saying saying what everyone is thinking but he should learn to choose his words more carefully.

It is imperative that the full details of alleged corruption in the banking sector is trashed out in the public domain, so we can decide for ourselves if the crimes committed deserve capital punishment, an indefinite sentence, a definite sentence or community service . . . . with 75% of the loans actually being given by these CEO's to themselves, my personal view is that they should recieve nothing less than the Chinese treatment for corruption.

yea the guy try o! may the blessing of Allah be on him and his family. that is the right things to do in the sight of Allah!!!

sharia? what is wrong with these muslims?

christian trolls in the house

Dats 2 fair.only shot? I sugest dat dey shuld b cremated as well

I agree with him 1000%.
Somebody made the point that all the money stolen by politicians may not amount to this huge sum.
this bank (th)chiefs are absolute criminals especially that one wey borrow leg like common pick pocket.

We as young people should condemn criminality in any form and from any body.
if sanusi had kept quiet and the banks fail we will accuse him of negligence.
is it the north that said the bank thiefs should grant loans like a drunken sailor?
nigeria is finished

Lets be realistic.Sanusi's word on shot is too hard.From a public servant holding a key position its just not make sense.We operate rule of law in nigeria&not sharia law/jungle justice,where people are killed/amputated for comitting crimes.Mr Gov please mind ur grammar

AH!
and they sey we re the leaders of tomorow, oga o!
look at defiant illetrates, simple English "if not for the rule of LAW" i gess the poster and the rest of the blind battallion bashers of SLS ddnt see.I wonder wen it became a crime for SLS to express his disdain for such un-repentantant lawless brutes made bank (th)chiefs. I gess most of yu dont have not been touched by this dats why (ow much una get for bank sef in the 1st place),most of spend yur money anyow-no savings-no shares o boast of or rather yu and yur parents benefit from this racket.If not i wonder, i just wonder.
i suggest dey be shot lil by lil, every 30 days dey shld be flogged and shot in diffrent parts of the body, treated and re-shot evrytime with 20 whips of koboko.If only yu brutes knew wot dis pples actions have caused so many(not few).But heck,a host of yu re evil-makings(weda directly or indirectly)of this pple, beneficiaries of evil and ill-gotten welth.I read of a famous mortgae bank chief on the US (my daily devotional)wu committed suicide becos Loans wahala, he understood that his actions ad caused alot of damge to the country(ofcouse i dnt subscribe to suicide, its cowardly).
Mosttimes yu lot will say,awusas aint shit n now hias one wu's tryn his best and some of yu say its northern agenda(by the way I Yoruba from Lagos-dnt get it twisted).
its so funny ow some pple like naija king talk, una hail soludo for not revealing dis becos of wot?DFI's-direct foreign investment.Una think sey Foreign Investors are has dim witted as yu lot are, before una smell a whiff of all dis dey know(ofcourse una forget wen int'l media reported it and soludo debunked it then), wot CBN Governors yu will make.I gess becos as wasteful spender as most of yu lots re,yu'l go into a business yu nevas studied (not just the profit potential) but operating environment.TAH! i wonder ,i just wonder at yu lot

i wld hav sed yea as a public servant he shldnt hav sed such if he neva used the CAVEAT-"if not 4 rule of law". but mpst of yu think becos hes an awusa,he shldnt becos most of dem re southerners,no be our broda for intercontinental dey atlarge(ole oloju nwonko nwonko) plus he distributes OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIoNAL every year in bulk(summin i use every morni-biuriful devotional)
wen i see  bulk comments like dis from yung pple i feel like cryn becos i see Naija almost has no future and GOD WNT ALLOW YU LOT TO REACH DECISION MAKIN ECHELONS DAT WILL AHVE ANY EFFECT ON DIS COUNTRY, if yu re almost dia , sometin grave will happen and yu will fall.GOD wnt allow yu lot to reach high pinacle like dis lot , te ma ti pa awon eeyan lekun lo
ah!! oga o
DFI?
i rest my emotions
but to tlk on topic rily,dias notin wrong with wot dis man sed, am sure he knows more dan all we knw he knws ow deep rooted dis goes and iam sure wot fuels him is ow deliberately planned dis pple did all dis,
GOD HELP US
rem dias a caveat to wot he sed "if not 4 d rule of law"
CHINESE pple cannot be  all mad wen dey tuk such decision up as a law

I am so happy the likes of all these Anti SLS Nigerians were not given the CBN job, we they could have been covering up

all this sleaze because of their cowardice . They will use these lame excuses to delay the evil day. It is only prejudice and

cowardice that will stop an enlightened man from accepting facts on their merit. They have tried the ethnic card, it did not stick,

professional- they are not sufficiently exposed to the business. \what els?

Look, leave this man to do his job. He will bear the consequences of his actions. Who knows, by the time he leaves, his own faults will manifest.

It is a natural progression. Another person will sift out the bad ones and correct them.

Once you are a key public figure,you're constantly under public scrutiny;your actions and utterances that is,so you have to refrain from making unguarded,undiplomatic and reckless pronouncements like Sanusi did.He goofed seriously on this one,pronto

Sanusi should never had said such a thing considering his position. Having said that, there are some theiving rogues in Nigeria which I wouldn't spare a thought for if they were mysteriously found with a few shots to their head.

I dont mean to be evil, but I have to be honest.

two pence and half a penny. oyibo drink tea i drink akamu, all na boil water.

Nigerians and double speak.

see 9jrians, we are talking of corruption, they are talking of utterances.
if sanusi has this much passion for the job, he gets my vote. we are too lukewarm and sit on the fence:-
policeman slap you for nothing- leave am for God, politician rig election- na so dem dey do
person jump line- no be only you dey hear etc we need to start getting this sanusi kind of passion and anger
on issues like this if we will make a headway.
if na so northern agenda dey be make them ride on.
sanusi mu je so sei

The right thing should not be done in the wrong manner.
Good communication and presentation skills is a prerequisite for any intending business leader.


Sanusi made the wrong statement. He is angry but he shouldnt let his anger becloud his judgement and affect his utterances.

I think a lot of Nigerians and Nairalanders are sufferring from a form of stockholm syndrome.

When Tafa Balogun was arrested, people were screaming he was manhandled, he should not have been hand-cuffed etc, do you know how many millions of Nigerians are manhandled and summarily shot everyday by the police, how many people were manhandled so that Tafa can amass his wealth. Nobody screamed rule of law and all those trash for the poor masses, the rich could not be rough handled because they have the power to shield themselves, now when they are getting a little bit of such treatment for blatant robbery, the poor nairalanders, my colleagues at work, and people who cant even buy papers at the newspaper stands are screaming foul play.

Ribadu was arresting thieves and fraudsters in political garbs, a lot of defrauded Nigerians, whose future has been mortgaged by these same politicians were saying he is arresting Obasanjo's enemies, and so what, i dont care, if you are guilty, you are guilty.

Now Sanusi said they should be shot, should he have said it NO, why? because people like some of us here who have a chance to come after him. The only reason why political office holders and the likes don't give vent to their emotions while talking even when they are right is because people would have a chance to attack them. So its not the statement, that is mostly wrong, but its the vultures that are waiting to pounce that make people talk in cheek.

These thieving CEOs, jack up their banks shares with people like Ololo (am sure sanusi did not invent him, he is real and he virtually manipulated the Nation's SEC), make us invest all our lives savings on their dubious public offers, delay the Shares certificate indefinitely, so that they can reap all the gains and then crash the market leaving us with crumbs. Millions of Nigerians were ruined, a lot have committed suicides.

A lot of Nigerians have been lynched for far less, so let us not scream as if we are strangers to jungle justice, if a thief have murdered your wife and raped all your daughters, you would probably clap if he is lynched, or get some form of relief, either wrongly or not, its just human nature.

So if this is an outburst from Sanusi out of anger, then it should not cause too much drama.

The bastards deserve whatever they get, if the constitution says they should be shot, or if an angry investor get a chance to lynch one of them, am not gonna cry nor will i miss them.

at this age, people still do not understand simple statement, The guy said "IF'
@ALL
pls tell me what the big deal is.
the crimes the bank CEOs COMMITED could have killed some poor Nigerians had the banks been allowed to liquidate.

Let us try to understand how to read along the line

Nigerians can never be satisified.

When there is corruption and mess in our society everyone cries out and blame the authoriities and powers that be for not tackling corruption. Right now everyone is angry that ibori is walking free and the agency responsible for prosecuting him is not doing much. Also when Ribadu (made grave mistakes i admit) was in charge and was trying to prosecute this man and others he was accused of acting on a written script.

Our banking sysytem has been soaked with sharp practices and i repeat,affirm and insist that without the local banks assistance , the looting by the ex governors and ministers will not be easy. Few years back, Nigerians were cursing Saraki and Nwobodo (Society general&Savannah) for embezzling depositors money and thousands of Nigerians were ruined and generations to come might suffer from the bankruptcy of some section of the population, their crime being depositing money in those banks.

Today, here comes a man (activist) who is trying to sanitise the banking system and save these banks from imminent collapse and depositors from losing their money and people accuse him of being boko haram, tribalist and all sorts. The problem of Nigeria is not just our leaders but we people of Nigeria are our own problem. Tribalism doesnt exist among the cabal that have Nigeria in their pockets. Corruption has no tribe nor state. The fact that affected banks have all being banks with their founders from a section of the country does not betray the fact that these bosses committed grave crimes. All but one or two surviving banks in the whole country are dominated and founded by southerners so by law of mathematics and natural law , when sanitisation happens it is this same majority that will be affected.

His comment of the ceos deserve being shot although just emotional and maybe metaphorical statement in my opinion is not far from the truth as i believe and will always believe  if the corrupt elite cabal are not exterminated from Nigeria there is no solution to our problem. We will and always remain toothless bull dog till the end of time. The punishment for corruption by govt officials in South Korea is Hanging and i think China as well and there is a reason these countries are the leaders for the so called asian tigers dominating the world economy.

As long as a petty thief is burnt alive in our society and the Odilis, Iboris, IBB's,OBJ's, Akalas of this world are let to walk freely and hailed instead of being mugged to uncounciousness for the crimes against the good people of Nigeria, We will forever be in slavery to the upper corrupt class of our society.

Did not even read ur post before posting mine, the truth is constant and the same no matter whose mind it iscomming from.

Thumbs up

Sanusi has done well so far.but he should not be the judge.we can see him playing out the Islamic banking script/no way

cardoso1:

Sanusi has done well so far.but he should not be the judge.we can see him playing out the Islamic banking script/no way

Could you please explainwhat you mean by this.

Are you aware that Soludo granted the license for islamic bank, paid subscirption for nigeria to join the islamic financial corporation already. So what is the fuss about islamic banking of which if you understand u might use it like the western nations rush to malaysia to issue islamic bonds.

@Lagosboy,

You know say everybody must talk him own. If he has nothing to say or no idea what the issues are, he will
just follow the trend- criticise. I hope Cardoso1 will now go and find Soludo to see part I of the script.

sometimes one wonders why people can not just be fair in appraising issues like this.

I have always made it clear that sanusi does not seem to be going about his job as a professional. First it was 10 banks he audited on the premise that they accountted for EDW and subsequently Interbank transactions. He then sacked five CEO's declared five banks weak and "injected" funds into the banks (that is if funds were really injected)

There were then questions from all quarters why the choice of 10 as against the 24 banks , he said that was based on empirical data they(CBN) had and that the other banks will be audited but he did not expect any more CEOs to go as the CBN had taken care of the bad cases. People defended the CBN's stance here on NL.

After the second audit some other CEO's were sacked with the explanation from CBN that some of their cases was as bad(if not worse ) as the the first batch.

Looking at Sanusi's initial utterances and subsequent subtle rebuttals , I am forced to question the authenticity of the records the CBN works with.

Now the FG has come to defend thepetroleum marketers who have a sizeable chunk of the unsecured loans , that their loans have not gone bad. Excatly the same call one of the CEO'S was asking the presidency to do before their sack.

If the CEO'S were corrupt as claimed , couldnt sanusi have removed them without this style of trying to bring the entire house down?

TOO MANY QUESTIONS MY PEOPLE.

This is the introduction of 'Sharia banking'.
