Tee_Jay: Our biggest problem isnt leadership, we have a very demented and stoooooooopid citizenry, including people like Enyojo Very unfortunate. Nigerian universities have failed us all. |

Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by enyojo(f): 9:46am On Jun 06, 2011 |
In response to criticism, the IG of police then ordered the withdrawal of Bankole's police protection. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by enyojo(f): 9:49am On Jun 06, 2011 |
[s] Wizardofoz:[/s] Some persons are so daft that they base their Judgements on Sentiments. Do you think it was a coincidence that Bankole's arrest came on the heels of GEJ's meeting with Obama? |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by dejavus: 9:53am On Jun 06, 2011 |
The source said that Jonathan then instructed the IG of police and the DG of the state security service to immediately withdraw Bankole's security detail. Only in Nigeria! Law enforcement in civilised countries do not get Instructions from the President or Prime Minister on when to Arrest or not to arrest someone accused of committing a crime. Nigeria is a joke! |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by enyojo(f): 9:58am On Jun 06, 2011 |
Wizardofoz: NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY DID NOT FAIL YOU, YOU IT WAS WHO FAILED THE UNIVERSITY BY SIMPLY NOT USING YOUR LOGICAL AND ANALYTICAL MIND TO JUDGE ISSUE HAPPENING IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY! LOOK AT THIS: 1. GEJ meets Obama this week 2. GEJ orders IGP to withdraw bankole's security 3. Bankole was arrested at the beginning of the week 4. AT THE SAME TIME, DAVID MARK IS GUILTY OF THE SAME CRIME IN A GREATER DIMENSION YET NO ACTION TAKEN AGAINST HIM SINCE HE WON AND BANKOLE LOST. 3. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by Wizardofoz: 9:59am On Jun 06, 2011 |
enyojo: You are so right! What was I thinking. BTW, do you think it is mere coincidence that this guy cut his manhood on the heels of GEJ meeting Obama? http://odili.net/news/source/2011/jun/5/321.html It is funny how bizarre things happen just because GEJ is about to meet Obama, FOR THE FIRST TIME. Haha, Since Bankole is not guilty, and Bankole never stole public funds, and he never diverted public money to his own private account, and he never confessed, publicly, to have stolen money, and he is well liked by every Nigerian and he is just so innocent, it makes absolute sense to conclude that this is nothing more that witch-hunt. What was I thinking? |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by Bensonite: 10:00am On Jun 06, 2011 |
If NL was a court of law- no fair hearing will be exercised as judgement will be passed almost before a crime is committed. Whereas Bankole may have a case to answer lets see how it goes and treat him innocent unless proven otherwise in a court of competent jurisdiction. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by luluosas(m): 10:05am On Jun 06, 2011 |
@JAZES I totally disagree with you on this one,granted what we see today I understand what you are tying to say but, I take exception to the bolded. When are you thinking that, the present crop of leaders needs to be shown the way out? Where you not among the people that say I am voting Jonathan not PDP? See the opportunity that Nigeria just lost in sending these criminals to jail. No matter how hard the EFCC wants to go, all will still end like Bode George. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by TeeJay6(m): 10:08am On Jun 06, 2011 |
^^^ funny how people are making it out to seem GEJ actually has an appointment with the almighty God and as such is restituting his ways and making sure all the "Bad Boys" are dealt with! As if Obama hasnt got his own share of dodgy people in and around his govt. I dont see GEJ insisiting that they be arrested before the visit. Talk of conspiracy theorist! If he left the matter for EFCC he's slaughtered and accused of complicity; if on the other hand he intereferes, oh well its because of Obama! GEJ is damned if he did and damned if he didnt, Who would be a president? |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by Wizardofoz: 10:10am On Jun 06, 2011 |
enyojo: True. He is not the only one meeting Obama. Obama has a packed schedule this week meeting Angela Merkel on Tuesday, GEJ on Wednesday and another leader on Thursday. I assume Angela Merkel has ordered the Speaker of Germany arrested just so to please Obama? 2. GEJ orders IGP to withdraw bankole's security And you know this because you eaves dropped on their conversation? 3. Bankole was arrested at the beginning of the week There are seven days in the week, right? You either arrest at the beginning or at the end or in mid-week. Simply stated, Bankole has a 33% odd of getting arrested at the beginning of the week. That is a huge odd. Why is that unusual? Because people arent supposed to be arrested in the beginning of the week? Is the beginning of the week supposed to be arrest free? Sacred? A national holiday? What are you getting at here? 4. AT THE SAME TIME, DAVID MARK IS GUILTY OF THE SAME CRIME IN A GREATER DIMENSION YET NO ACTION TAKEN AGAINST HIM SINCE HE WON AND BANKOLE LOST. This is about Bankole, why bring David Mark into this? You are so smart. you must have schooled in Nigeria? No? |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by enyojo(f): 10:11am On Jun 06, 2011 |
WIZARDOFOZ, I am not saying BankOle is or is not guilty, all I am saying is that Corruption is not athing to be attacked in suspicious manner as GEJ is handling it. The man is so much of a party man for him to take any action that will not be in the interest of PDP. It was just because this one will help give him a sort of 'letter of credence' to Obama that he had to out of severe unwillingnes order it. Was he not the person who has slated BankOle as a Junior Minister to Foreign Affairs Minister Odein? See there are so many things that wwould not be made public. some of us who get those details on our own are considered as ANTI-JONATHAN. BTW (I dont know what it means sha) A VIABLE OPPOSITION ENSURES A STABLE DEMOCRACY, A STRONG OPPOSITION BEGETS A STRONG DEMOCRACY WITHOUT ANY APOLOGY TO ANYONE, I WILL REMAIN IN THE OPPOSITION UNTIL GEJ DELIVER ELECTRICITY, FIGHT CORRUPTION, AND BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by enyojo(f): 10:16am On Jun 06, 2011 |
Wizardofoz:Have you heard of any Parliamentry Recklessness in Germany as it is globally heard of the Nigerian parliament? NO. Does germany brings itself under servitude and fear of America as Nigerian presidents do? NO So you you don't need to expect the same dumb tactics used by our President to be used by other Presidents of sane economies |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by Wizardofoz: 10:27am On Jun 06, 2011 |
enyojo: Well, the argument is not about that. The argument from start was about the timing and influence of GEJ in Bankole's arrest. If you cant follow a simple arguement like this, well, i wonder how you get by every day. Are you a full time stay at home wife? all I am saying is that Corruption is not athing to be attacked in suspicious manner as GEJ is handling it. Why bring GEJ into the picture at all? "1: (1) There is established a body to be known as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (in this Act referred to as “the Commission”) which shall be constituted in accordance with and shall have such functions as are conferred on it by this Act. (2) The Commission - Establishment of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission a. shall be a body with perpetual succession and a common seal b. may sue or be sued in its corporate name and may, for the purpose of its function Commission acquire, hold or dispose of property (whether movable or immovable); c. is the designated Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) in Nigeria, which is charged with the responsibility of co-ordinating the various institutions involved in the fight against money laundering and enforcement of all laws dealing with economic and financial crimes in Nigeria" The man is so much of a party man for him to take any action that will not be in the interest of PDP. It was just because this one will help give him a sort of 'letter of credence' to Obama that he had to out of severe unwillingnes order it. I am not under any obigation to believe any of your delusions. Keep them locked in your head, else the rest of sane society treat you as though you were crazy. Was he not the person who has slated BankOle as a Junior Minister to Foreign Affairs Minister Odein? GEJ never made his list public. You must have some insider information the rest of us arent privy to. But going by your previous post, I have no doubt that this is just in your head. Your delusions, not reality. See there are so many things that wwould not be made public. some of us who get those details on our own are considered as ANTI-JONATHAN. Again, believe what you wish to believe. The point is that you are not arguing rationally. BTW (I dont know what it means sha) A VIABLE OPPOSITION ENSURES A STABLE DEMOCRACY, A STRONG OPPOSITION BEGETS A STRONG DEMOCRACY Well, I admire your passion, but dont you think tou are taking things too far? And probably affecting your sanity? All these bumper stickers you are quoting have nothing to do with the topic at hand. |

Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by enyojo(f): 10:43am On Jun 06, 2011 |
WIZARDOFOZ, I painstakingly went thru all your write up. All I can say is that the bulk starts and ends on the presidents table. At least you were in Nigeria (?) when the ICPC's stubborn Boss was uprooted by Dame patience Jonathan and replaced by a worn-out woman who resume work daily by 2pm. This and several other factors have rendered the Anti-Graft bodies into a Presidency-dependent Toothless BullDogs I'm not as interested in the EFCC mandate or what the law books say about them as I am interested in the fact that the President's influence or otherwise over them. Wizardofoz and millions of youths can remain GEJ staunch supporters even when he makes huge gaffles. As for me and my house, all we know is that the PRESIDENCY IS NOT A PERSON BUT AN INSTITUTION!! If the present occupier drags the name of that institution into mud, we must salvage the institutioon to the detriment of the person |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by Wizardofoz: 10:44am On Jun 06, 2011 |
enyojo: Corruption is universal. Corruption in societies, being a part of informal politics, is inevitable. This does not mean that it is acceptable, that it should not be fought. On the contrary. Corruption is as old as human civilization and its forms have been constantly developed and refined. Just like other forms of economic white-collar crime corruption always occurs without automatically being linked to the decay of a state or the decline of moral standards. "Last summer, the current president of the German parliament, Norbert Lammert from the ruling CDU party, even made it clear that the parliament has no intention in tightening the paragraph dealing with bribery of parliamentarians. Why are German parliamentarians hesitant? They fear investigations without prosecutions. Germany has a rather lax immunity law and a simple investigation can ruin political careers. “Why risk this?”, think many parliamentarians." http://blog.transparency.org/2011/05/16/in-the-fight-against-corruption-germany-falls-behind/ Does germany brings itself under servitude and fear of America as Nigerian presidents do? NO What is your point? Are you insinuating that fighting corruption = bringing Nigeria under servitude? LOL So you you don't need to expect the same dumb tactics used by our President to be used by other Presidents of sane economies What tactics are you talking about? Germany fighting corruption is fine, but it is evil if Nigerian presidents go after people that have looted and stolen from us? Please, i am having problems following your train of thought, help me understand you better. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by shawonlese: 11:04am On Jun 06, 2011 |
Whilst Bankole was hiding in his house, unconfirmed reports have it that he was contacting the US Navy Seals to provide him with Stealth Helicopters (same used to delete Osama Bin Ladin without detection) on Saturday night in order to escape EFCC. |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by Wizardofoz: 11:09am On Jun 06, 2011 |
enyojo: And what did you find out? Well written retorts? I bet ya. I have had a a very good liberal arts education.I am well groomed in the Classics, History, Philosophy, but more than that, I have learned how to think. I just did not go to school, I have allowed school to go through me, without turning me into a machine only fit to quote bumper stickers. I am conscious and aware enough to choose what I pay attention to and to choose how I construct meaning from what I read online and from my experience. All I can say is that the bulk starts and ends on the presidents table. I bet ya. The "buck" does stop at GEJ's table, including crimes committed by the EFCC in their attempt to make Bankole answer for his crimes, No? At least you were in Nigeria (?) when the ICPC's stubborn Boss was uprooted by Dame patience Jonathan and replaced by a worn-out woman who resume work daily by 2pm. Are we still talking about Bankole here? This and several other factors have rendered the Anti-Graft bodies into a Presidency-dependent Toothless BullDogs Toothless? Hmm, well not according to this site: http://www.efccnigeria.org/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_view&gid=15&Itemid=82 I'm not as interested in the EFCC mandate or what the law books say about them as I am interested in the fact that the President's influence or otherwise over them. I though democracy was about the rule of law, No? You said this earlier on: enyojo: How do you present yourself as a strong opposition and demand what is right if you are not willing to learn and understand the law? How do you use the law to your advantage then? Or is it supposed to be "ANYTHING GOES" as long as your wish prevails? Wizardofoz and millions of youths can remain GEJ staunch supporters even when he makes huge gaffles. And how did you come to the conclusion that I am a "staunch" supporter of GEJ? I guess Gani Fawenhinmi was a "staunch" supporter of Ghali Na'aba when he accepted to represent him in court, even though Gani had earlier criticized and never stopped criticizing him You see why it is very important you use your brain? As for me and my house, all we know is that the PRESIDENCY IS NOT A PERSON BUT AN INSTITUTION!! If the present occupier drags the name of that institution into mud, we must salvage the institutioon to the detriment of the person Interesting! You just love quoting bumper stickers. Do you spend a lot of time in traffic? |
Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by enyojo(f): 11:10am On Jun 06, 2011 |
Wizardofoz: AT THIS POINT, I SHOULD HELP YOU OUT. [b]1. Corruption being universal does not mean you should justify its excessive and massive presence in Nigeria. So don't justify the mess we find ourselves just for your undue support for GEJ 2. Hammering the germans simply because you want to prove to us here that Nigeria is not that bad as u imagine and fantasize is leading us to no where. so no comment on that. 3. I am the LAST person that will say such a crap that fighting corruption equals bringing Nigeria under Werstern servituede. What I meant was that from their misbehaviours, Nigeria has had Presidents who play second fiddles to the west. they go to every extent to ensure that the please the developed nations even to the detriment of crushing their own citizens and betraying their country. E.g, GEJ went to 'kneel' before a young Robin Sanders confessing as if she was a Pope that He lacked administrative abilities, another example, Obj damned the Nigerian constitution that stipulated the Nigerian boundary by selling off Bakassi all on the pretext of obeying an Int'l court decision. 4. To understand my train of thoughts, read btween d lines and don't just view my posts through any compromised lens of prejudice[/b]. |

Re: Dimeji Bankole Finally Arrested By EFCC by Wizardofoz: 11:44am On Jun 06, 2011 |
enyojo: I never tried to justify it. This is what I said: Wizardofoz: and it is in response to your post here: enyojo: And you were trying to make a point that Germans are corrupt free. You claimed that GEJ chose to "arrest" Bankole at this point in order to pander to the interest and wishes of the American president And my point is that it doesnt have to be and bringing GEJ into the case is both premature and ridiculous. Because if GEJ were following Obama's directives, as you insinuated in your earlier post, then you'd expect something of like manner to be going on in Germany, since Angela Merkel is scheduled to visit Obama on Tuesday. Simply stated, contrary to what you'd have us believe, Bankole's arrest has no political undertones, obvious or covert. Not that it is totally impossible. From the available public evidence, we dont know that! 2. Hammering the germans simply because you want to prove to us here that Nigeria is not that bad as u imagine and fantasize is leading us to no where. so no comment on that. Again, whatever delusions are going in your head. Keep them there, lest we assume you are crazy. I havent said that Nigeria is not bad or whatever you are thinking in your head. This thread is about Bankole and the supposed political undertones WRT his arrest. I am tired of trying to redirect you from your numerous tangentials. Stay focused on the topic please. 3. I am the LAST person that will say such a crap that fighting corruption equals bringing Nigeria under Werstern servituede. What I meant was that from their misbehaviours, Nigeria has had Presidents who play second fiddles to the west. they go to every extent to ensure that the please the developed nations even to the detriment of crushing their own citizens and betraying their country. E.g, GEJ went to 'kneel' before a young Robin Sanders confessing as if she was a Pope that He lacked administrative abilities, Going off again. I thought this thread was about how GEJ ordered Bankole's arrest status post acting a script written in Washington? Again. are you implying that arresting a known thief = playing second fiddle to the West? Not just America, but the West? So this is no more about America, it is now about the West? GEJ has his crimes, just like everyone else, but this thread is about Bankole and your supposed GEJ's reason for initiating his arrest. If you go off tangent again, I will m/a/s/tu/rba/te non stop all day long. Please dont do this to me. another example, Obj damned the Nigerian constitution that stipulated the Nigerian boundary by selling off Bakassi all on the pretext of obeying an Int'l court decision. How did you manage to bring OBJ into all of this? And BTW, our own Justice Ajibola was on the panel when the case was heard by the court. 4.

What's the big deal about Dimeji Bankole's arrest? Is this the first high profile arrest made by the EFCC without prosecution. Of all the past governors indicted in 2007, how many were made to pay for their crimnes? Instead, some of them even came back to continue their looting in some other quarters as senators, ministers etc. There is no need to be excited by Bankole's arrest. At the end of the day, he'll walk free. The EFCC is just a toothless bulldog. |
