These people dont know proper hide outs or what

X-factoria:

Ok, you are obviously naive of the crime committed here by Bankole and others.

Let me help you understand something. Taking the loan was not a crime but the purpose for which the loan was taken brought in the criminality. First, Bankole approved that lawmakers should be paid more than what RMAFC approved as their package. That is unconstitutional. Two, he and other principal officers of the house approved to take a loan to finance the illegal salaries and went on further to make Nigerians pay for it from the taxpayers money by building the sums of money meant to repay the loan into the national budget. That again, is criminal!

By the constitution, only the RMAFC determines their salaries and not them by themselves.

Get it now??

Are you sure you are not naive too?  There is a difference between monthly salaries and quarterly allowances.

Now back to your point: The House Resolution to increase quarterly allowances (not salaries) was presided over by Nafada when Bankole was away.  After the House Resolution was passed, non-approval by Bankole would amount to a crime.  Now, if this[b] increase is illegal, how come Mr. President signed the 2011 budget into law[/b] even after all these allegations were out in the open?

The sad part is that most people still believe Dino and media's initial noise that Bankole took N10bn personal loan.  Meanwhile we didn't know Dino got N28m of it in two quarters while Bankole got nothing.  So is it fair that Dino, EFCC etc have slandered Bankole's name?  So why won't we question their actual motive?

So because the recovered money is not reaching us, suspected corrupt people should not be tried abi? See how we are reasoning.

London has always been a haven for Nigerian criminals.Certainly this proves that many of those nigerians in the Uk and especially in london are criminals.Apart from the corrupt nigerian public officers in London we have nigerian internet scam artists aka yahoo yahoo boys,nigerian drug barons,nigerian prostitutes and all other form of nigerian undesirables all residing in London.

Must you turn this thread into tribal bashing?

@topic
If the story is true, Bankole's aide would have been in a divided loyalty dilemma before taking that decision - allegiance to the NPF/Government or to your boss. I feel EFCC should come out with something concrete than "one personal aide said".
