well, there are hundreds of cases that can be probed but he has chosen to start from the $20bn allegation so who am I to question him?... It's his prerogative!.. Besides, let's not forget this is the biggest single case of corruption in Nigeria's history so it just makes sense that he starts from the biggest and most recent case.

As for me, I am just an ordinary Nigerian who would be happy if these monies are recovered and put to good use.

Well am a biafran sick of this shithole caled nigeria

South-east, South-south Groups Demand Self-determination

Monday 27 Apr 2015
http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/south-east-south-south-groups-demand-self-determination/207914/ lalasticlala fp


Ernest Chinwo in Port Harcourt

Some groups from the South-east and South-south regions of the country have called for self-rule and self-determination for the regions.

The groups, in a programme in Port Harcourt on Monday tagged: “A Solemn Assembly of the Peoples of the Lower Niger”, said they were not satisfied with the present constitution of the country, insisting that the country was designed to suppress the people from the Lower Niger comprising the present-day South-east and South-south zones.

Speakers at the one-day conference organised by the Lower Niger Congress (LNC) expressed their disappointment with the outcome of the 2015 general election, alleging that it was conducted to further push the two zones into the backwaters of the Nigerian nation-state.

The conference lamented the loss of President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 elections and said it was an orchestrated move by other regions of the country to relegate the region in the affairs of the nation.

They also described Nigeria as a country lacking the basis of a one united, one nation entity.

In a five-point proposal adopted at the conference, the people outlined the basis for the continued existence of the country as a united entity,

In the proposal, the people rejected the 1999 Federal Constitution as the basic legal framework for the continued existence of the country as a single entity.

It also mandated the production of a charter that would bind together all the language groups in the Lower Niger as equal partners in a proposed federation of the Lower Niger.

It was also unanimously adopted that there should be a mandate for the conduct of a referendum, as it was done in Scotland against the United Kingdom, to determine the continued existence of the two zones with the other parts of the country.

The congress adopted the call for a referendum proposing that an Asset Protection and Guarantee Scheme should be put in place to take an inventory of the assets of the people of the Lower Niger and ensure adequate compensation in case of any displacement.
Finally, the congress asked for a recall of its elected representatives at the Federal Capital City, Abuja, and whoever may be so appointed for consultations, warning that whoever contravened the order does so as it his/her own risk.

Setting the tempo of the discussion for the day, Secretary of LNC, Mr Tony Nnandi, said the aim of the conference was to bury the falsehood which he said had rubbished the people occupying the Lower Niger.

Going down the memory lane, he said the people of the Lower Niger had been short-changed and sacrificed in the course of building the country, as demonstrated in the last general election.
According to him, President Goodluck Jonathan lost out in the last elections, not necessarily due to incompetence, but because of an international conspiracy to sustain an alleged northern hegemonic hold on the other parts of the country.

"Jonathan's offence is that he is from the Lower Niger and he thought he could be on the same pedestal with the entrenched system. He had forgotten that the slave can never rule over the house of his master", Nnandi said.

Also speaking, human rights activist from the Niger Delta, Ms Ann-Kio Briggs, warned of the danger ahead for the in-coming Muhammadu Buhari-Federal Government as she said the people of the Lower Niger may go back to militancy to press home their demands.

According to her, the outcome of the last elections had willingly or otherwise pushed the people of the Lower Niger to be more vigorous in their quest for self-determination and self-rule.

Her words: "Nigeria, in outlook is oppressive and, in word, is deceptive. There is nothing one in the country called Nigeria. God didn't create Nigeria because He is not a god of injustice.

"The conspiracy by the United Nations, the United States and the United Kingdom, as expressed in the Boko Haram insurgency, to get President Jonathan out had done the people of the Lower Niger a great favour in the quest for self-determination.

"We have seen the change as being pushed by some people. We, in the Lower Niger will no longer sacrifice our wealth and environment for the sake of the country.”

Briggs, who was a participant in the last national conference held in Abuja last year, said there would not be any negotiation with the in-coming Buhari administration, warning the people against complacency in the face of intimidation and harassment by the government.

Let the yorubas ake the very inelligent buhari aand let the SE and saS keep the oil with the clueless GEJ leading us


The north and th southweast will collaapse without the oil


Imagine the new nigeria comprisng of yorubaas and the hausa buying fuel like other aafrican countries are buying it

I will miss aagos but nothing feels ike Biaafra, the aand of the Rising sun

Buhari is just disgracing his intelligent supporters but the stypid and thick skulled ones are.cheering him on on this one

SLIDEwaxie:
After u don invite am tire don use heaven and earth beg am say make he temper justice with mercy and e don agree, u come dey to foam mouth for public.

Why u no come say all these before?

Yeye man

You are a total and hopless idiot

How can I beg someone and yet call his bluff

Being in the APC has made people really stupid

Just last weej my medical doctor driend reacted to my post about Osun govt scraping free food but as soon as he saw the post on FB he began to defend as being financial prudent of ogbeni rauf;

The next morning another when the governor denied it he defended the governor's denial all over again

Can Obasanjo say that Buhari should probe his national I'd project or the haliburton issue

This is a first time a President will dare an incoming president

Am appreciating why that guy says GEJ is HIS HERO and FAYOSE HIS MEentor

1stola:
For what?

For jon well done at the guber polls

obailala:
Selective probes?... Buhari hasn't even been sworn in you are already accusing him of selective probe... so what exactly are you suggesting?... That the idea of investigating the case should be completely shelved because Buhari hasn't investigated Amaechi and Tinubu yet?... Are you aware that the $20bn allegation is the biggest identified single government scam in the history of Nigeria (and probably in the world)?... Yet you think it shouldn't be given any attention?... What if the money was actually stolen?... Are you not by a bit pricked that such an amount, if recovered can solve our entire power problems instantly?...

Gosh!!.. I have totally given up on Jonathan supporters. It is obvious you guys don't give a damn about even your own welfare. A lot of you would rather have the country impoverished and burned because Jonathan did not win election. Let me tell you something, there is a very high chance that that money was actually stolen and Jonathan knows the culprits but was just too spineless to confront the cabal responsible. But the same God that relocated the incompetent Jonathan from Aso Rock will never allow Nigeria to be plundered again. God pass una!

A cent of the alleged billions of dollars can't be traced to my account so I have nothing to be worried about

Its good you highlighted the area of selective probes; that tells you am not. Against any probes per se, infact I think its either done extensive down to National I'd cnd Harliburton scams which Atiku and obasanhos are accussed off
He can just pick and choose the ones that he likes or that serves his partisan interest

Obasanjo doubled as the petroleum minister for 8 years and you think that there wasn't any homogous funds syolen

Let him probe from 1999 and we may find 100 billion dollars

obailala:
This is the exact myopic reasoning I was talking about which is prevalent amongst Niger-Deltans and GEJ supporters. Why on earth do they automatically assume that a probe of missing funds is an attack or a call for an attack of GEJ?... PLEASE I NEED AN ANSWER FOR THIS QUESTION!!

Is it GEJ that stole the alleged missing moneys?... Did anyone say GEJ was the culprit?... A review of the names indicted for the $6.8bn fuel subsidy fraud, the individuals that made up that cabal were from diverse ethnicities and tribes and religions; as a matter of fact, there were very few Nigeri Deltans. So I ask again, why is it that whenever there's a call to investigate this matter, many Niger-Deltans and other Jonathan supporters switch to defensive mode?

The bolded part of your statement is the exact myopia I'm talking about.

If indeed monies were missing under GEJ and nobody got indicted could only mean the president has a hand; just as in the national I'd card scam under OBJ

It is thus NAÏVE of you to think that monies of that magnitude can get missing in truth and the president is not only aware but also involved


I supported GEJ not because I believed in his leadershiip style but I had valid reasons to oppose the candidacy of GMB moreso on the platform of the APC, a hastily setup merger, comprsing disgruntled elements ex-PDP fellows and imperialistic criminals

Doesn't Buhari know that Tinubu Is a crook or that saraki and amaechi were using state money to fund his boisterous campaigns

Buhari is fond of selective probes

obailala:
A lot of Niger-Deltan's and GEJ supporters make a huge mistake by assuming that a probe or search for any missing $20bn automatically means an attack against GEJ or Niger-Delta.

What these people fail to realise is that the oil cabal members responsible for these thefts are mainly from outside the Niger Delta and if these monies are recovered, the ND will still get the largest portion of the funds. Sometimes I just wonder how an entire region filled with educated and enlightened people can just be so myopic.

Buhari is clueless of what is essential

Do you think the so-called perpertrators haven't covered their tracks already that is if they were actuallt $20billion missing

Buhari can't touch GEJ for it will definitely heat up the polity and even an uprising

Buhari just fell for asari's plan who made a provocatve statement last week or so on a similat subject

Asari is looking for secession and these days it need not be bloody anymore as the international community are pro-self determination

Those who say it should be on merit are you referring to Academic merit

Being a nerd can't be a basis of become a leader, it can be a plus where the other essential factors are present

I was shortlisted as a prefect in secondary school and my name didn't make the final list: it took my persnal letter to the principal then, stipulating why and why I should have be on the list, basically my long history of academic excellence from form 1 and also of being aof good behaviour; I was reinstated but if I were to contest for that position I wouldn't have made the cut as I didn't know jack of leadership neither did my headboy who is a super nerd

This is a good development, it helps the kids to think and appreciate what leadership entailed

Two years back an aunty figure of mine involved me to be her girl's campaign manager, as she wanted to run for head girl in Chrisland primary school....the girl got the assistant head girl through an election eventuallyaj and today through the rigours of personal campaign, and drawing manifestoes she. Is a very charismatic and vibrant young lady
She is currently in the uUS for her high school and holding her own

Aisha Alhassan, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Taraba state governorship election, has rejected the result of the poll announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday.

Addresing a press conference in Jalingo shortly after the announcement of the result, Alhassan described the entire elections process as a “daylight robbery’’ and said the party would challenge the results at the election petition tribunal.

“The combined governorship elections in Taraba were characterised by violence, massive rigging, ballot snatching and abuse of the card readers in substantial parts of the state by the PDP and their allies,” she said.

She contended that results ascribed to Wukari, Donga, Takum, Sardauna, Zing, Yorro, Kurmi and some parts of Ussa, Karim-Lamido, Bali, Ardo-Kola and Lau local government areas were not acceptable, as they did not reflect the true results of the election in Taraba.

Alhassan said all the complaints on the irregularities and abuse of the election guidelines were promptly reported to INEC, but no action was taken.

While declared the result in Jalingo on Sunday, Jyari Mohammed, the INEC returning officer for Taraba said Ishaku scored 369,318 votes to emerge victorious.

He said Alhassan came second with 275,984 votes, while David Kente of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) polled 29, 966 votes.

President-elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), on Sunday said his administration would take a second look at the claim by a former Governor of the Central Bank, now Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, that $20bn, that was supposed to be remitted by the NNPC to the federation account, could not be unaccounted.

Buhari said this while receiving a delegation of party supporters and newly elected officials on the platform of the All Progressives Congress from Adamawa State at his campaign office in Abuja.

The President-Elect, who spoke in the local Hausa language, expressed surprise that instead of probing the allegations by the former CBN governor, the authorities chose to fire him.

According to him, since Sanusi’s claim was documented, his administration will take a second look at the document when he assumes power on May 29th.

Buhari said, “On the issue of corruption, I heard that some people have started returning money. I will not believe it until I go and see for myself.

“You all know what the Emir of Kano talked about when he was the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. He said $20 billion dollars, not naira, $20 billion dollars, was unaccounted for; they said it was a lie. Instead of investigating it, they sacked him. And God in his infinite mercy made him the Emir of Kano. In any case, that is what he wanted. And since this was documented, the new administration will take a look at it.”

This is against the background of a pronouncement by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has started refunding the unremitted $1.48bn into the federation account.

While expressing gratitude to the visiting delegation, Buhari in response to several requests, said his administration would work in tandem with the manifesto of the APC.

He listed priority areas to include security of lives and property, the economy, job creation and the war against corruption.

isbish:
That's the wayo he will be doing to Ekiti people deceiving them that he is a commoner like them. Don't be decived Ekiti people, the man Fayose lacks respect to elders. His blatant utterances to elders in isults and disrespect says it all about that man. He is a rogue. Don't be deceived people.

Yorubas and the respect for elders

The only elders I respect are the the likes of my Mentor the great Awolowo and Pa Agraham adesanya and not thieves like Tinubu and morally bankrupt persons like obasanjo

Before you disagree does Tinubu or obasanjo inspire you to be a gbetter person

Awolowo does for me when it comes tto leading a generation from educational and economic cesspit; and Iadmire Nnamdi Azikiwe for his Pan Africanism just like kwame Nkrumah

sanky346:
Osokomale. Fayose is the most laid back and free spirited governor in Nigeria

Yes he is

Even more than OBJ

Honestly this is how leaders should be

In England MPs board trains but in Nigeria its sirens all the way

Governors are not gods like they have us think

Any sign of superiorty by them on us must be rejected
The respect we owe them is the same we owe the woman frying akara or the man selling suya;

What we can admire them for is when they promote these values through the office the occupy

Ozigbondu:
Bros nice one you will be in charge of cold water

@Rose2014 so many people are intrested in this journey sol suggest we should form a committee on trekking and various sub-committee for different aspect of the journey like route to be taken,popcorn,beer,cold water,shoes and clothes for the journey (we are not hakiem or merlin that wears one cloth),security and numerous other aspects

The trekking crew officially inaugurated

That guy called chinonso should face the law big time

I detest people who feel anger and violence iis a virtye of something to be proud

SLIDEwaxie:
u're more clueless. A state that has been seeing his allocations dwindled over the months with your frog faced finance minister and Lord clueless's doing shld kill herself? Workers' haven't been paid; is it not sensible to see how they cld reduce cost?

For what is wot, how many states in your red-soil ridden state that collects full and large allocations offers any free benefits for it's citizens?

All we knw is for them to loot u dry without doing a thank and at the time of elections, gather all of you, in conjunction with your parents, featuring your grandmas and reserving your children as substitutes and give u placards and N500 each to sing there praises.

This is not unconnected with why ur people give birth to many children. Do the math:

A father + mother + 12children will take home 7k per protests....

Yeye people.

If u can do it for 3 times a week, na something.

Here in the SW, that chance no dey.

Oponu

Stop boiling son

If igbos have 12 kids do we bring them on the pedestrian bridges to beg for alms . Especially with precious twins and triplets

Ti really blame that oba akiolu for all the hate his sown in his subjects

APC na correct one chance!!!!!!

This is the talent that tinubu planted in Osun state

With the dwindling oil money from the south south they can't feed their kids, what will happen when if south south secedes from Nigeria........I can't even imagine!!!!

66 countries across the 6 continents were very happy when his third term agenda was threw away in the dustbin of the National assembly by the dogged and no nonsense senate President, ken Nnamani, who refused the hard currency, Abike Dabiri confirmed was passed round the upper and lower chambers of the NASS


Obasanjo remains a disgrace to fatherhood and , to how old men should behave; is he the only stupid elder in Nigeria, the evil gap tooted general of Minna know what's up but he is just letting peace reign

From the old man who is sleeping with his daughter-in-law as confirmed by his own son, Gbangga; and who is disowned by his own daughter who did so in public space and domain

Obj shows he is an empty restless and useless man who has no family no son that respects or daughter that loves him,( was it not IBB that was celebrating his grand daughter. This week, Atiku son's wedding was this year or did we not see GMB reconcile with his grandson after the rigourus elections)?
that is why he venting his miserable existence after 77 years on GEJ

Of all the piscean leaders Nigerians ever had, from awolowo to shagari to Jimi, he is the worst

My 49 cents

A lady that values your freindship will call you but I must say Nigerian girls don't even know what is of value


They seem to value wizkid dressing lads



Ito the OP; stay on your own; face your life challenges.......you don't need to hear a female voice everyday to feel okay

Date your jobs and career; enjoy your life and you will surely find someone worth it along the way

Notice how easy every region is calling one regionresource as OUR as though its on no man's land,yet let somebody call a place no man's land and you go hear am hot

socialmediaman:
This CBN man is talking like a fresh graduate from the university without seasoned knowledge of administration. He should rather advise the president-elect to curb waste in government and restructure the civil service to gradually shed its idle workforce by introducing policies like shift work while investing heavily in the economy to generate employment and develop infrastructure

You just spoke my mind

You can't feed the monster call the civil service and NASS and. HOAs(wages, severance fees and pensions) and evil governor's pensions

Put a public procurement process that works then Nigaria can get value for whatever funds

tsdarkside:
forced marraige or not....we are in 2015.....we dont have time for this nonesense...

time is out..finish...accept and progress or try new and suffer more...

if the igbos believe,that leaving nigeria,will make things better for them,then they are big dreamers....

the ol world is messed-up...it has nothing to do with nigeria specificaly....

First you call an entoire triba NASTY

U can't be up to 25 years and I wonder where this ugly hatred is coming from

Has any igbo person been bad to you or what?

I was hoping for an intellectual reply also I read was vitrolic comments with no pint

Intellectual product is the new oil! Ask Seun, ask Mark of facebook ask the google boys founders........

That's why so many parasitic regions are calling for the arrest of GEJ. Because of $50 billions he alegedly stole.....how ironioc......oil money from another region is eating u up; whereas the fact that the Nasty igbos are living in lagos is making the sophisticated yorubas feel angry that they want to burst open through their bowels


When the time comes the system will change itself! Its not a matter of your wishes

jeeqaa7:
Enough with this Zoning crap. If a man is competent and reliable .. His tribe shouldn't make him a lesser man

We are one entity
One country
We practice federalism and not confederalism

APC

I do not detest you as a party . Becos u changed the political landscape of nigeria .. But don't push ur luck too far.
It would take just careless neglect from you to be shown d door ..

Maybe yeah.. I detest pdp for d many opportunities it denied us .. For its high level of political degredation and for making the Giant of Africa a suckling baby.. That its citizens are treated with disregard and empathy all over the world ..
Xenophobia is just but a tip of the iceberg

Chart a healthy course and come out with fulfiling ideaologies and effective growth plans ..
I believe in nigeria
I believe in buhari

One Nigeria Great people

Nigerians are very sick in the hed

This zoning thing just shows us that we don't see ourselves as one

APC says they are one family yet they can't even get this right?

Its not even about APC it goes tragically to places like the states. Oimagine in a state like Imo you hear that the governor from a certain area has ruled more and that its time to have other area tastte power

And you wonder are they not from one state, speaking one language?

The main issue is to make the office bereft of so much privildeges such that the occupiers are made to be accountable and their decions guided by some laws

This way only those who have passion for the job will be even begged to take office

This is the change Nigeria needs
