Can't understand some people!!! To help u: someone willing to pay a bribe does not call police.

egift: Femi Otedola is beginning to show his true colours.

1. He was ready to offer $3m to remove his name from the list
2. Now he wants to be paid N1 trillion because we want to ask him "how much of the subsidy money he stole".

Who knows what this cabal have stolen from us since 1999 - 2012?

Femi Otedola is the guy with the Gun cool
He is way smarter than the whole house of rogues representing us. He has plans for every outcome.

I knew the Lawan of a guy is a criminal when he presented a review to the recommendations he made. Go watch that video again and see how he mumbled on words in d defense of the review
which demanded that Zenon Oil be removed.

Every Info Otedola gave tallies with what happened at d plenary that day.

The other members of the house never asked the right questions. For example;
What document guided the ad-hoc committee to enlisting Zenon in d first instance?
What document and revelation made it appropriate to de-list Zenon?

Instead of the silly guys asking questions they were busy blaming the executive.
THIEVES!!! GOD PUNISH your GENERATIONS angry

So what is holding the storyteller back? I think the story is clear enough - Farouk fell into his own trap.


prodam: my opinion might not be regarded or may be seen as that from one who abets corruption but it belongs to me. it goes thus:

from my own perspective, Hon. Faruk Lawan would be vindicated soon. The shame of the plotters would be brought to the public table.
all these are just done to enervate his fighting spirit against indiscipline and corruption.

am not saying Faruk lawan is not involved in this a whole mess, but the story we have heard would be re-told, its a matter of time.

What bribe? Can't you read? If you think Otedola is a crook, all you have to do is provide a watertight evidence agaist him, the same way he is doing agaist Farouk. Besides, this is not about AP.

Confusion or illitracy no dey good-o! Whose money he used to pay the bribe? Have you not heared that the police or SSS gave him some marked dollar bills.
I predicted Otedola's response, and justifiably so. He's a patriot who reported a bribery demand, and for the house to get angry at him for exposing one of their own, and infact Tambuwal's house of corruption is a typical Nigerian reaction.

Richtalk: Otedola has finished these foolish legislators. They are just too lazy to do their job and full of sentiments. Just because one of them was caught, they want to transfer the anger to the executive arm. If the executive was involved in exposing their corruption, then that calls for commmendation.

Point number one, Otedola said Farouk demanded money from him to include his name among those that collected forex without importing PMS. What the legislators needed to do first was to investigate and see if Zenon actually collected the forex.

Second point: The house should have verify the exact figures before putting it back in the report.

Third point:The house should have ordered a fresh probe of the two companies earlier in the list to acertain the true level of their participation in the fuel subsidy. But the foolish legislators were too lazy, and just quickly put back the company without even verifying the figures.

Fourth point :For Otedola to report the bribe to SSS after knowing that his company will be removed list shows that he is confident that his company's name was not even suppose to be on the list, and I believe he has enough proof.

Fifth point:The best thing for the legislators to do yesterday was to order a fresh probe of fuel subsidy by an independent body. Though this might be very painful for Nigerians, but the best.Anything that comes out of tje former report will still be challenged in court by the marketers because it lacks credibility.

Finally, these so called legislators should bury their head in shame because they have rubbished themselves. They should stop attacking the excutive because corruption within them was exposed. The way things are going the whole legsitors will be label incompetent and their leadership might be forced to step down.So their votes of confidence on the leadership will be rubished.
Otedola is the Hero here. As far their is no proof of corruption against him, he remains innocent and the victor.

Yes,exactly on point bro.

Well I don't believe otedola's story neither do I believe lawans, the whole story is simply a chess game which contains the very essence of life and hence the reason 4 the back and forth movements from the 2 major game players. The executives as we all know may be the master players here and cannot absolve itself from the scam right from the office of the president or how else can one explain why the minister of petroleum is still in office despite the probes recommendations. Am afraid otedola may sue legislooters for 900 billion trillion dollars, that will be what we all will be grappling with whilst the oil subsidy report will never see daylight. That will at the end be a master move scripted and orchestrated by the pdp infested executives.

I do not know this Otedola fellow but let me just state this, if he is so open about this, he is as clean as a butterfly..

Its very sad what the Reps are trying to do. The whole subsidy report should have been thrown into the bin. Putting Otedola back on the list and asking the EFCC to investigate them is absolute rubbish and reeks of vengeance.

What the Reps should have done was suspend Farouk and hand him over to the Police for investigation and subsequent prosecution and set up a new panel of inquiry into the subsidy probe. Another could have also been set-up to determine how many oil marketers apart from Otedola paid bribes..

All the members on the Subsidy probe panel should have been suspended alongside Farouk.. Like Otedola said, a tree no fit form forrest...

Otedola is a business man that has somehow managed to survive the murky waters of doing business in Nigeria... If you think that a group of half literate, crooked senators would outsmart him, then you underestimate what it takes to become a billionaire in Nigeria and the world over.. Fools dont last that long at the top..

The House of Reps have indeed shown that they are a band of thieves.. Its a surprise that not one of them thought of throwing out the entire 210page report.. Its a surprise that they cant collectively think past Otedola to see that their must be others who paid this bribe without video taping it..


Kudos Mr. Otedola... I hope you win the Billion and that this saga exposes more crooks in the assembly..

dustydee: He said his name was removed because he paid bribe now the decision has been reversed what is he complaining about? I think the house took the right decision. He has nothing to fear if he is not guilty as the anti-corruption agencies will determine that and not the house-period.

English language seems to be your problem. His company name was inserted because he first refused to give 3m$ bribe - after the sting operation, and having given $620k to Lawan and friends, Lawan came openly on the floor of the house asking that Zenon and the other company be removed.

Did I not say it yesterday that the house of reps would be marooned with legal battles due to their connivance in Farouks extortion? What we saw the den of fuckers do yesterday, was simply spit on our collective moral sensibilities. This is the beginning of the end.

I suggest a brand new subsidy probe under the leadership of known upright citizens like Hajia Najatu Muhammed, Olisa Agbakoba, Prof. Wole Soyinka, Colonel Umar etc.

pro01: Again I would ask: how could Lawan be so FOOLISH to blackmail someone as influential as Femi Otedola, let alone when Otedola is not even among the beneficiaries of subsidy funds? I can't imagine that someone with Lawan's experience in high level politics - being the longest serving House of Reps Member - can be so foolish. Pure suicide on his part.

I can Imagine how much bribe the really guilty barons like Ifeanyi Uba (Capital Oil), Tonye Cole (Sahara Oil), etc. would have paid.

It is because he is repping for the subsidy cabal who want to get GEJ out by all means come 2015. They are scared that their oil block whose licenses will expire between 2016 and 2018 will not be renewed by GEJ, cos he is from the Niger Delta. The cabal succeeded in fooling the people into thinking they were the good guys, but GEJ is quiet and very coded, he simply set a trap and maintained silence. Until today, GEJ is denying he had no hand in it. Coding, bro. cool

This matter is still very far from over. I thank God that there is someone like GEJ as President today; someone who looks like he doesn't know what people are up to, while employing heavy "maths" and "science" on them in the background. Lol!

Let me remind NL that the cabal are those who got their oil blocks from IBB, Abacha (and Buhari), and Abdulsalam. These people (less than 100) make more money per year than the entire Niger Delta, yet are surrounded by almajiri's and extending their proboscis across Nigeria to suck the blood out of the man in the street. For the country to be free, the grip of their tentacles has to be calmly loosened - their influence is everywhere; police, army, customs, govt, NASS...

The resolution of the whole house has once again brought to the fore the sheer incompetence, hypocrisy and obvious insincerity of the so called honorable members. They still don't get it: the report in whatever guise or form is now worthless and can not even survive the weakest of legal challenge. That a supposedly law making body led by a lawyer could not see that was baffling to say the least. If you are not credible, how can your evidence be deemed credible?

The report is dead because it lacks credibility. They should not even bother to start a new probe. Anything short of independent body x-raying the subsidy palaver would still fail the credibility test. PDP has failed Nigeria.
