Nellybii:stop it! His point is, the government fighting corruption is also filled with corrupt people. Sooner or later they will be caught in between just like we are already witnessing. 1 Like |

seguno2:if you are employed into one of the federal ministry today and provided with accommodation, do u go into asking the ministry how much it cost to rent the apartment? let even assume you get to know of the rent, would you reject the position on the ground that the rent of the apartment provided for you is high? pls let's be human and realistic here. if actually it was paid for as stated by PT, Magu has not committed any crime by occupying the building provided to him in d course of discharging his duty. 1 Like |

Please I want to clarify something here. At no time did the FG make it illegal for public servants to fly first class, that kind of thinking is just ridiculous. Its like the FG saying you can only wear red boxers. What the FG said is that public servants applying for travel allowances can no longer collect travel allowance for first class. They can only collect allowances for coach. The FG will not pay for first class. Simple. So if you're a public servant and you have the money to fly first class without applying for travel allowance from the government, its very legal and its also your right. 3 Likes |

Any discerning mind can see the desperation of the Senate and their collaborators in the Presidency to find something to hang on Magu. Hence, the petty lies. In a situation where many of the people being prosecuted by EFCC are people that can afford to pay him Millions of dollars to get off the hook, they are talking about rent fees, 1st class ticket and the rest. Now that Premium Times have done diligent investigation and found those craps to be untrue, let's await the Senate's next line of action. To me, they have only proved that indeed Magu is not corrupt. This situation makes one remember the Tam David West travails about accepting a wrist watch as his only offence in the 80s. Sahara Reporter said it earlier and it has now come to pass: The senators are understandably scared of the incorruptible Magu. 2 Likes |

fulaniHERDSman: What where the facts when NASS alleged corruption as a reason for not confirming the EFCC boss. In fact, NASS allegations where not even known until now. It is bias to believe entirely what one says without doubt of what truly transpired. I am disappointed on the allegations and the defense of the SGF, but for Magu, there is definitely something wrong. |

DropShot: I am inclined to agree with you. One thing that comes across as unfair was failure of the senate to confront Magu with the allegations against him and therefore give him the opportunity to defend himself (therefore denying him his fundamental human right to fair hearing) they instead chose to quickly accept the DSS report on its face value without further scrutiny. |

Noblesoul123: It is very good that in trying to defend himself in the media, corrupt Magu is exposing the media platforms he normally uses to peddle his unconstitutional propaganda. Imagine Magu that specialises in "efcc sources" leaks to premium Times, Sahara reporters, the Nation and Punch newspapers is now complaining that he has not been allowed to defend himself. He should go and defend himself to president Buhari who did NOT nominate him for confirmation. Fake Pastor VP Osinbajo who tells lies for a living and vocation, and who nominated him in Buhari's absence should represent him when he is tried for corrupt enrichment and abuse of office by the same efcc. In this era where facts can easily be checked, Magu is corrupt no doubt, he already lived in Karu but still corruptly squandered 40 million naira on an official dwelling while embarking on a newly accustomed private jet hopping and first class flying lifestyle, supposedly from his rapidly replete pockets. The Senate has rightly referred his matter back to the presidency, it is up to the loquaciously verbose Fake Pastor Vice President Osinbajo to explain to Saint Buhari why he sent letter sneaking in corrupt Magu's confirmation in the absence of the Saint. Neither the suddenly luxurious Magu nor even the suddenly wealthy Aisha who he has attached himself to in the name of advocacy can pass any basic integrity test. 2 Likes 1 Share |

SBG04: Do you know the price of a first class ticket to the Lesser Hajj? Do you know the salary of a policeman who happens to head Buhari's anti corruption agency when minimum wage is N18,000? If you don't have the answers to these questions then you should stop embarrassing yourself in a public forum. |

seguno2: Go and find out how much the head of a professional organization. earns and get back to me. I am sure, after that you will be convinced that 2m is just a fraction of his annual basic salary not to talk of his allowances. However, I am happy you didn't question the finance of his rent again after you have been enlightened. |
Re: FACT-CHECK: Senate Confirmation: How SSS Lied Against EFCC Boss, Magu by seguno2: 9:08am On Dec 20, 2016 |
Cmeo: You obviously have a very parochial, narrow understanding of what CORRUPTION is. When you get a proper understanding of what CORRUPTION means, get back to me. A policeman in a country where minimum wage is N18,000 has no reason, no right, no moral basis whatsoever to stay in a N40 million house or fly first class on Lesser Hajj. That is CORRUPTION, pure & simple!!! 1 Like 1 Share |

seguno2: Mr. man, what could make the scenario you painted above as a corruption is not the amount involved but the process. All big or small monetary value transactions in the country does not automatically means corruption or not but the process it takes. Please get ur fact right next time and don't try to reason along figure only but also along processes, etc. |
Re: FACT-CHECK: Senate Confirmation: How SSS Lied Against EFCC Boss, Magu by seguno2: 1:06pm On Dec 20, 2016 |
Cmeo: The process that rents a N40 million house for a policeman in a country where minimum wage is N18,000 is nothing but CORRUPTION processed! The process that enables a policeman fly 1st class for his Lesser Hajj while minimum wage is N18,000 is CORRUPTION processed. No more, no less!!! |
Re: FACT-CHECK: Senate Confirmation: How SSS Lied Against EFCC Boss, Magu by SBG04: 5:26am On Dec 28, 2016 |
seguno2:I'm the one embarrassing myself? The man lives in a N20 million/ year official residence. I have no idea how much he earns but it'll be huge. All this is still even in the relm of speculation because nobody is even sure if its true that he flew first-class. Most of that DSS report was just concocted lies. |
Re: FACT-CHECK: Senate Confirmation: How SSS Lied Against EFCC Boss, Magu by seguno2: 9:39am On Dec 28, 2016 |
SBG04: How huge can the salary of an olopa policeman be in a country where minimum wage is N18,000? How much? For the first class ticket, you should learn to read and understand. Below is from the OP: Insiders say while it was true that Mr. Magu indeed flew first class to Saudi Arabia for lesser hajj, he did not pay for the ticket with public funds. We could not however confirm this claim independently. Maybe he used part of the N 7 billion for building a new headquarters this year and with expectations of another N8 billion for the same building. Magu is CORRUPT. Buhari is super corrupt. Birds of a feather flock together. |
