The unfortunate fellows , Nigerian youths, who have already taken sides, wasting productive man-hours and resources to defend their principals are the ones I'm appalled for.
If you ask me, I'd say let's watch from the grandstands as the politicians help to annihilate themselves. That is the wiser thing to do.
Has anyone wondered why no elderstatesman has waded in? Think my people.

Wish every youth can be as reasonable as you are... It's so unfortunate that we don't even think about the people who lost their lives in that robbery, cos if we do, we will seek for thorough investigations. Each time I come to Nairaland to read comments, all I see is Nigerians don't value human lives... That's why poor people will use their hard earned money to buy data to be defending any politician..we are the cause of our problems not the government. Youths are gradually loosing it... We are bedeviled by tribe, religions and sentiment...my take is this, anyone the police found wanting, let the person be investigated, no one is above the law... Saraki is not more than the former Prime Ministers who have been invited by the bureau. Let him go and clear his name... Simple

I thought he would remove his agbada.

Buharicracy is a Political Concept of triabism, intimidation, threat and mediocrity.
Politics has never been so chronic and desperate.

It's a Gestapo style Game played by The Presidency to intimidate The Senate President. The IGP HAS NO constitutional Powers to invite the S.P. He is not an Ombudsman.

Evablizin:
If the IGP likes,let him transmission Saraki,if Saraki likes let him commission IGP,na dem dem.

exactly what i told my colleague now, na them them jare, they should do whatever they like to each other, but by God's grace we must survive this country

InvertedHammer:
Why would Saraki send armed robbers to rob a bank of millions when he came rob billions from the treasury with a stroke of pen?

The IGP is not very smart.
/

I don't think he can be convicted. It is only a smear campaign and an excuse to sideline him for being in opposition in the 2019 permutations.

Evablizin:
All of them are criminals and robbers,the difference between them and armed robbers is that they use pen and paper to steal while the other make use of arms.

Hahaha, I think the real difference is that the pen robbers write the scripts that the gun robbers use. This case must be thoroughly investigated, I don't believe in smokeless fires.

This is nigeria, everybody na criminal....(In falz voice)

THE CRIES OF THE MARGINALISED: A CASE OF THE PROSPECTIVE 2017 NDDC FOREIGN POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP AWARDEES

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in May, 2017 advertised on its website the 2017 NDDC Foreign Postgraduate Scholarship and called for application from suitably qualified candidates in the 9 (nine) NDDC states of Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross Rivers, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo and Rivers, who gained admissions to pursue MSc. and PhD degrees overseas in diverse professional fields that could contribute to rapid development of the oil producing region and curb youth restiveness. The commission invited shortlisted candidates for the Computer Based Test (CBT) in July, 2017 at the Rivers State University, Nkpolu, Portharcourt, Nigeria. Barely a week after the conclusion of the CBT, candidates who met the commission’s prescribed cut-off mark were invited for an oral interview at the Golden Tulip Hotel, GRA, Portharcout, Nigeria. The candidates were requested to bring along both originals and photocopies of credentials and other specified documents. Successful candidates in the exercise were expected to resume full academic work by September, 2017 in different institutions across the globe. While prospective scholars were waiting for the release of the list of successful awardees, to their utmost surprise, the management of the Commission announced the suspension of the exercise citing non-payment of previous scholars as the reason behind their action. Prospective scholars in the 2017 NDDC Foreign Postgraduate Scholarship accepted the development until January, 2018 when it was gathered that the payments have been made to the scholars.
Candidates who participated in the oral interview were supposed to be paid transport stipend of N10, 000.00 (Ten Thousand Naira) only (about USD 27.80) on the day of the interview. However, they were asked to provide their account details for the payments to be made after the approval of the NDDC budget of 2017 as alleged by the Commission. Several months elapsed; nothing was heard from the Commission, until on March 19, 2018, messages were sent out through emails with a link requesting for bank information for payment of the transport stipend. The details were supplied by the affected candidates. It was on May 4, 2018 that candidates received the sum of N 8, 450.00 (Eight Thousand, Four Hundred and Fifty Naira) only (about USD 23.49) from Marg Education International Limited, Portharcout, Nigeria as against the earlier N10, 000.00 agreed by NDDC. Many were confused and had even wanted to formally report to their various banks that the transactions were made in error until it was confirmed that the deposits were made by Marg Education International Limited on behalf of NDDC after tax deductions as alleged.
The MD/CEO of NDDC in the person of Mr. Nsima U. Ekere had earlier promised as published in the NDDC website that every issues relating to the NDDC scholarship scheme will be concluded by May, 2018 in order to enable scholars resume studies fully by September, 2018. May has come and gone, the story remained unchanged. This has amounted to about 12 (twelve) months the Commission started the process of 2017 NDDC Foreign Postgraduate Scholarship. There are so many speculations and rumours surrounding the credibility of the purported exercise, considering the fact that other Federal Government of Nigeria agencies and commissions that organise similar scholarship programme concluded their 2017 scholarship programmes and successful candidates left the shores of Nigeria to study in various institutions abroad. Some of the scholarship awarding agencies are almost concluding their 2018 scholarship scheme; yet, NDDC has not released the list of successful candidates in their 2017 scholarship scheme let alone mobilising them for onward movement overseas even though the 2017 budget was approved long ago and the 2018 budget passed by the legislative chambers waiting for the presidential assent. Previous scholars have been complaining of gross negligence by the commission and some are almost at the verge of being sent back due to irregular payment of tuition fees and living expenses by the Commission.
It is of note that these anomalies orchestrated in the conduct of 2017 NDDC Foreign Postgraduate Scholarship by Senator Victor Ndoma Egba and Mr Nsima U. Ekere led NDDC of today has never happened before since the inception of the scholarship scheme from 2010 to 2016. The Commission in the past had always published the list of successful candidates in the NDDC scholarship programme on their website (the list of successful candidates in the 2016 NDDC Foreign Postgraduate Scholarship is still on the NDDC website till date for verification) and the affected candidates were always invited to an inaugural programme for briefing ahead of their departures to various institutions across the globe.
The 2017 candidates of NDDC foreign postgraduate scholarship scheme are requesting that;
1) The commission under the control of Senator Victor Ndoma Egba as chairman and Mr Nsima U. Ekere as MD/CEO should release the long awaited 2017 list of successful candidates for the award of the foreign postgraduate scholarship and invite them formally to an inaugural programme as it used to be in the past.
2) Investigation be carried out on the credibility or otherwise of the list of candidates captured in the 2017 scholarship scheme. This has become necessary due to the very long delay in the conclusion of an exercise that was started 12 (twelve) months ago. It is alleged that the Commission has sent some “scholars” abroad through the “back door”. This should be verified once the list is released. This could be done by confirming from the institutions where all the scholars whose names appeared on the list are studying as to when he/she resumed studies, when was the tuition fees paid and who made the initial and subsequent payments of the fees.
3) The Commission should ensure that all the benefits due to the qualified beneficiaries of the 2017 NDDC Foreign Postgraduate Scholarship and those of previous scholars be paid and on time hence forth.
