The same UK that play big-time host to Nigerian loots.Much of Abacha's loots have they reparated to Nigeria since his demise?When UK banks cease collecting loot, Nigerian looters will cease looting.

Oh God!!!

Can God just help us bring back this corrupt GEJ, so that we can buy bag of rice for 7,500...

This non corrupt govt is killing us slowly!!

You have no inkling of the cause of your present situation. Remember, one is always a product of the past. The Present state of Nigeria now is a product of the past actions/inactions of the past administration(s). They failed to save and build to secure our future, when we are facing the consequences of those failures to save and build in past, we are now blaming the present.

I have come to the realization of the fact that one of the major problems of Nigerians in "immediacy". We do not think of the future consequences of our actions/inactions and we do not look back to learn from our past. We live in the immediacy, we want everything now. It is always now, now and now.

That is why we can collect N2000 as a price for our vote - immediate gratification without knowing the agenda of who we are selling the vote to, why we give bribe to Police - we do not want to go through the legal process, why some drop out of school - do not want to go through pains of study, why some steal - immediate wealth, can not wait to build wealth through hard work, put life savings in MMM - immediate wealth, the list goes on and on and on. It is all about immediacy. Yet we forget that for every action/inaction, there are always consequences.

Same goes for your request, you want immediate relief (buying rice at N7500) without looking back at what got you to the present (buying rice at N15000) state with the aim of learning from it, and, you do not care about the future consequences (buying rice maybe at N30000) of bring the looters back on you and your children. For you, it is sadly the same problem of immediacy. You even have the audacity to say "this non-corrupt government is killing us slowly". What a shame! what a show of stupidity.

We need to learn from past to build a better future. This present administration does think about immediacy alone, they are looking to build a better future for Nigeria and Nigerians. That process will take us through some hardship.

Go ask Lawyers, Doctors, Pharmacists, Engineers, etc, the hardship they went through to get them to where they are today. It is all about future building.

Please put a number on what you think has been lost in the last 2. Stop making vague statements.

How could a government building up our Reserves during low crude oil price be compared to a government that depleted our Reserves despite unprecedented high price of crude oil? Make good use of your cognition.


He described the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Ibe Kachikwu’s allegation of award of $25 billion contracts without following due process against the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC); Dr. Maikanti Baru, as messy and an embarrassment to the country.

Speaking further, Governor Fayose said; “While Nigerians are still asking questions as to what has happened to the report of the committee that investigated the $43 million discovered in an apartment at Osbourne Towers, Ikoyi, Lagos, allegation of $25 billion was made by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, and as usual, the allegation like others before it, is being treated as family affairs.

This is not the first time President Buhari's make-believe anti-corruption posture will go through credibility test. In the early life of this administration, President Muhammad Buhari received concrete evidence that his Chief of Staff (CoS), Abba Kyari, took N500m from operators of MTN to help the telecommunications giant mitigate the fine imposed on it by the federal government. Sadly, while the MTN directors who were in the game of shortchanging Nigerians were sacked when the story broke out, Mr. Abba Kyari still carries on as President Buhari's Chief (Cabal) of Staff. The man was not even invited for interrogation, let alone being arrested and prosecuted.
http://saharareporters.com/2017/10/06/presidential-corruption-buhari-more-same-erasmus-ikhide-3

Also, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Abdulrahman Dambazau, bought homes for millions of dollars in Boston in the United States; Several other aides and officials within the government have been exposed for involvement in illegal employments and forgery of age and certificates. As in the case of Mr. Kyari, they have so far been shielded by President Buhari. Speaking earlier to journalists in Daura, his hometown, the president said his “anti-corruption war” was being implemented on the basis of justice and fairness.

The hypocrisy surrounding President Buhari's anti-corruption gambit becomes obvious when the former Secretary to the Federal Government, SGF, Babachir Lawal was exposed for awarding grass cutting contract to a company for which he's a director. Babachir was indicted for awarding a contract to his own company to clear "invasive plant species" in a small IDP camp for N200 million, more than a quarter of the money allocated to feed displaced persons!

SaharaReporters has obtained a letter written on behalf of the Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed to the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) requesting a loan of N13,120,470.

The letter, authored by the Director of Public Relations and Protocol, NPD Dama, begins by stating “I am directed to inform you [NBC] that the Honourable Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed is proceeding on official assignment to China on Sunday, 15th May 2016.

SHOCKING: Buhari’s minister, other officials spent N12 million to inspect ghost projects. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/242677-shocking-buharis-minister-officials-spent-n12-million-inspect-ghost-projects-audit-report.html



We still never enter first half and all these are leaking out. If opposition succeed in taking over from APC we will all be shocked of the corruption that was done within this short period of time.



No one grows rich saving. You spend in investment to grow. This ignorance is what has destroyed our economy as it's today. No economic sense.

You see, the funny thing about you guys is you have never claimed GEJ wasn't corrupt in fact y'all always accept that fact but it seems you only have issues when only GEJ is spoken off. Isn't that the truth.

For instance, you didn't say $32b wasn't lost to corruption under GEJ, you only wonder why DFID didn't talk about OBJ. Well, I'm not concerned about, I'm only bothered about the immediate past which DFID just said stole more than $32b. If DFID talk about OBJ I'll respond that. But if you have information about amount stolen under OBJ inform the world and we will thank you for it.

But for now, all we know is GEJ stole Nigerians future in 6 years. Imagine if that $32b wasn't stolen and it is added to the $38b PMB has built our Reserves to by now we would be having more $70bn in Foreign Reserves. Do you know the impacts that will have on value of Naira? Do you know how that would influence huge FDIs? Do you know how much of developmental projects could be invested on? Do you know the number of jobs that would be created as multiplier effects of these?

Please stop defending corruption, it is not even in your own interest.

It is only idiots who would claim that any Nigerian regime since 1960 has never been corrupt. In fact no govt in the world can claim not to have corrupt elements in it.

Have you heard of Okotieh-Eboh and corruption in the first republic? Corruption was there. I still remember Buhari using corruption to justify his coup that killed our position as a beacon of African democracy in 1983.

If there was corruption during GEJ govt is because corruption is now in Nigeria's DNA. You see in universities, all places of work, contract awards, schools, everywhere. This current govt where the president goes abroad for months and leave the country to the cabals is even more economically & morally corrupt. Especially a president that came to power shouting integrity but even his wife and kid complain of no paracetamol in state house clinic, despite the huge budget.

Only Zombies claim that their politicians are saints ruling in a heaven-like kingdom. And only others are corrupt.cheesy grin

Buhari even claimed that Abacha was a saint. Yet Abacha loot are still being returned till today. Buhari had to say that to cover his loot and reckless spending of billions running PTDF under Abacha. cheesy grin

Now what we're saying is let any talk of corruption be comprehensive including all regimes, the "estimated" loot amounts and how much recovered. With a breakdown of how they arrived at the estimates. Any organisation can claim anything whether government owned or independent. Are independent bodies not run by people? People of any persuasion can be corrupt and be used to do anybody's bidding. We need full details to judge if they are serious or kekerebo people. Simple. grin

About $32bn was lost to corruption during the six-year administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development said on Monday.

The agency said the huge amount represented 16 per cent of the previous government’s resources that could have been channeled to development.

The agency’s Head of Office, DFID Nigeria, Debbie Palmer, said this at the expression of undergraduate debates challenge to celebrate this year’s international anti-corruption day.

The event was organized by a non-governmental organization, Youngstars Foundation Initiative in Abuja.


She said millions of dollars tied up in legal challenges remained in other countries.

Palmer said: “An independent report estimates that up to $32bn was lost to corruption under the previous government. This is around 15 per cent of state resources during the period and could well be an under-estimate.

“So the estimate is that nearly 16 per cent of the previous government’s money was lost to corruption. That is a staggering amount of money. And that is money that is to all of you and to your future. That is why we all should care about corruption.

“Millions of dollars also remain in other jurisdictions tied up in legal challenges.”

Palmer said youths in the country have a critical role to play in President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-graft fight.

She added that the UK is committed to supporting Nigeria to tackle corruption in all its various forms through its anti-corruption programme in Nigeria.

So, are you saying PMB should start investigation of corruption by jumping 5 administration and start from IBB? Does that even make any sense to you?

If successive governments have done the right things, SA would have investigated IBB, AA will do SA, OBJ will do AA, GEJ will do OBJ and PMB will do GEJ. Of all these leaders only PMB is doing what is expected of him: probe your immediate predecessor.

Again, picking low-hanging fruits.

Also, investigation shouldn't be for its sake alone, investigation must be done to be effective and efficient. Do you know how long and the resources it will take to investigate from 1985? Do you think PMB would discover any corruption that way before the end of his 8-year tenure?

Again, picking low-hanging fruits.

So forget that your history lecture of starting from Okotie-Eboh, it's superfluous and supererogatory.

Second, you have little knowledge of economics obviously. If you say nobody grows rich by saving then you need to go and read more about China and how they become the largest economy by PPP. Remember to read how China is US biggest Creditor and how they got money to invest in US debt instruments.

Also, I will advice you to go and read these books so you can understand importance of savings:
1. The Millionaire Next Door
2. The Richest Man in Babylon

Then finally, go read more about GDP. Spend more time on National Savings. Try to understand that without Savings there won't be Investment.

Low hanging as in the one that is not from SW or Hausa-Fulani? If you believe alleged corruption by minority people is what you need to fight to cleanse 9ja of the monumental corruption since 1960, then you are not serious. Just tribalistic. Every govt should be probed. All including GEJ's. But I only wonder if someone who ran the corrupt PTDF under Abacha even has the moral high ground to probe anyone. Or someone who refused to attend Oputa Panel can talk of any democratic credentials or integrity.

But your type only work on primitive tribal instincts devoid of any sense of justice or fairness. Funny that in the third year of APC regime they are still struggling to prove the corruption allegations against the previous govt. Is it that they are recovering money and quietly pocketing it.....another group's turn or their wild allegations were largely baseless and are too ashamed to admit it?

First, let me apologize for forcing you to embarrass yourself here, it wasn't intentional. Pele.

Now, are you suggesting DFID are kid and lazy students when they put a figure on the corruption perpetuated under GEJ? They said $32bn. They put a figure to it. What's yours? Put a figure to it and stop evading doing simple arithmetic. Anyway, I ain't doing that for you. If you can't put a figure to it then stop claiming there corruption.

Then, it is obvious you haven't read those books. Try and read them.

If you think Nigeria has enough capital than we can use, I'm sure you don't even know how government works. You don't know how economy works either. Let me help you a little. Even US as the biggest economy in the world doesn't even have enough capital or whyndo you think US National debt is about $20tr?

Also, if you think N6tr budget is huge, please go check UK budget for education alone. Then check US budget for defence also.

Finally, if you don't save enough you MUST borrow to invest and a debt overhang is not so great, even for countries.

From your submission it's obvious you're a tribalist who sees everything through the tainted glass of tribe and religion.

Is it PMB fault that his predecessor is an Ijaw man? Or are suggesting because GEJ is from Ijaw he shouldn't be probed. Why didn't GEJ, a minority probe OBJ, a majority? By the way the guy that's been in jail since PMB started his war against corruption is your so-called Hausa/Fulani, Sambo Dasuki. Is he a minority? What would you have said your so-called minority was the guy that's been jailed for over 2 years now? Guy, it's obvious you've ran out ideas.

From your submission it's obvious you're a tribalist who sees everything through the tainted glass of tribe and religion.

Is it PMB fault that his predecessor is an Ijaw man? Or are suggesting because GEJ is from Ijaw he shouldn't be probed. Why didn't GEJ, a minority probe OBJ, a majority? By the way the guy that's been in jail since PMB started his war against corruption is your so-called Hausa/Fulani, Sambo Dasuki. Is he a minority?

Maybe you were not born then but Buhari is punishing Dasuki because it was the same Dasuki who arrested Buhari when his ass was kicked out after 20 months in which he built nothing on ground. Despite his penchant for imprisoning Southerners (including Ekweme & Pa Ajasin that the court ordered released due to no case against them), he did not build even a single prison cell in 20 months.

All he did was take us to join (applied for) Islamic Organisation. That finally came through in IBB regime.

Buhari has a long history of Vendetta. Buhari was the first Nigerian kidnapper. Long before Evans. cheesy grin

He ordered Isrealis to kidnap Umaru Dikko in the streets of London. Now the reason is not corruption. The reason was that Dikko nearly cost him his dream of being Head of State. Dikko had warned Shagari about Buhari, from his military insider contacts. But instead of retiring Buhari, he sent him to faraway Jos as GOC. Believing that being faraway from the critical Ibadan & Lagos commands was enough to thwart his coup.

Buhari had a history with the only other core-Northern civilian governor (guess his name without google search) that he arrested/imprisoned then. I have written exclusively on it over the years here on NL. Many kiddies like you think life began with google. It did not. Many like me witnessed life long before it. With family member doing proper investigative journalism. Of course they endured the wrath of the brutal Buhari back then. But his boys kicked his ass out soon enough. grin cheesy

Buhari is a vengeful Fulani man. Every Fulani will admit that they never forget things done to them.

As for tribalism, it is only a pregnant woman that has ever had sex. Others are virgins. grin cheesy

You spew tribalism, your approach to life and perspectives are steeped in tribalism, yet you accuse someone pointing it out to you as a tribalist?
GEJ is low hanging because he has no influence over Lagos-Ibadan press, has a small ethnic base and therefore an easy prey for those who believe they own Nigeria.

Pretend you do not know that everything in Nigeria is along the lines of ethno-religious consideration, school admission, political zoning, govt employment, number of NASS members, FEC members, etc. Keep doing the ostrich. shocked shocked

Lol. You're just driving about the bush.

You didn't even answer my question. Are you suggesting that because GEJbis Ijaw and minority he shouldn't be probed by PMB who is a Fulani and majority? Is it PMB fault that his predecessor is a minority? Simple questions are you jumped into history.

The funny part is that you're even getting your history wrong. Lol.
FYI, Buhari was the first Head of State to refuse to register Nigeria with IOC. IBB eventually registered Nigeria. And GEJ was the first President to attend their meetings.

And you're still viewing issues with your tainted glass. Wane yourself off of your tribalism perhaps you can be a patriot, perhaps.

Election lie in 2015. He was kicked out before he could. He applied for membership. Buhari applied for membership. I made it clear that membership approved when IBB was in power. Because I knew you would make that claim.

GEJ did what was incumbent on a country that signed up to something. Why be a member and only send ministers? You're either in or out.

I know only a few years from now, many like you will say GEJ made us a member of OIC. grin cheesy

Again, you've got your history twisted again. Buhari refused registering. IBB registered. GEJ attended. Even IBB that registered us didn't attend the meetings. Sanu Abacha didn't. Abdulsalam Abubakar didn't. OBJ didn't. Yaradua didn't. But GEJ did.

And again, you didn't answer my questions. Anyway, Goodluck. And bye. Mention me when you're ready to answer those simple questions.

Lol. Did any of the leaders de-register us from OIC? No! Why be a member if you have no intention of attending? At least to see what's it's all about?

They were being hypocritical by not going but sending their subordinates to go.

You do not think your questions make any sense to warrant any answers, do you?
