Andro Blaze:

This is why some people refuse to engage any of you diaspora people, it's like your African brains have been fried.

I mean what does exposing any of his corruption have to do with anything, this is Nigeria for God's sake??

Was Yerima not exposed and proven as someone who married an underaged girl?? Please tell me where he is right now.

Was Omisore not fully implicated in the only recorded murder of a sitting attorney General anywhere in the world?? Did he not win his election in a jail cell??

We have Femi and Lawan both saying Lawan took $620k that didn't belong to him, tell me where he is right now

What does exposing anyones crimes have to do with JUSTICE in Nigeria??

Please if you want to continue debating, be realistic. Like someone already said, it is not the exposing we have an issue with in Nigeria, it is the punishment.

Kobojunkie:

I know you think what you have above changes any of what I have posted so far. But the fact is, it doesn't.

The reason why no one gets prosecuted at the end of the day is that people like you, would instead of looking around for a new mentality to help move things forward and ensure change, would rather sit tight with the old, and expect MAGIC to somehow happen at the end of the day. Unfortunately, all that does is ensure that the same group of thugs continue to wield power over your destiny and that of Nigeria as a whole.

Nigeria has been a democracy for the past 12 years. When are the people going to wake up to this? Even in the most advanced countries, the law is only as strong as the people. Look at China for instance, the people there are fighting back the system and they are using the laws to their advantage where they can, and winning too.
When are the people in Nigeria going to let go of the old ways and grab on to new ways of doing things? The tools are there . . the people, or their mentality is what is still in the wrong place.

Andro Blaze:

Kobo, I say this respectfully, but you sound like a tool.

In fact you sound like silly whiteman who pretends to be converse with the African situation, posits your silly "civilised solutions" and then acts pleasantly surprised when they don't work, blaming africans for poor implementation.

You say the tools are there, but then blame all of us (which of course doesn't include the superior you) for not using them properly.

Ok let's deal with the tools- were you not following Nigerian news when Gani took Tinubu to court over his lies and fake certificates?? Did he use the tools then?? Tell me what he using the tools achieved??

Did you not follow Nigerian news when a court aquitted Ibori of the over 100 and something charges of corruption, while the same man pleads guilty to lees than 20 in the UK?? What did your tools do for the Nigerian people there??

Andro Blaze:
The same tools that have turned Buhari into a laughing stock, an object of ridicule, a joke among corrupt politicans and sentimental idiot worshipping masses, tools that have no iota of shame, responsibilty or in fact usefulness, tools that reinvent the English language- "the election was characterised by malpractices but they are not sufficient enough to say the election was not free and fair" REALLY.

Kobo go shove your tools where the sun doesn't shine, and really if you can not come up with anything better or think like the African you are suppose to be, I beg of you, do not engage me again on this topic.

Dr. Joe:
sometimes i wish junior army officers take over power by force, wipe away these thieves, organize a free and fair election within 6months and hand over power to the new democratically elected president irrespective of tribe or religion..

Kobojunkie:
A well known thief that the people re-elected only last year? A well-known theif that continues to occupy an important seat in the Nation.

Look, it is too easy to sit and call them all thieves, but at the end of the day, either you get off your butt and present whatever evidence you have to shame 'em and maybe get others to push him out,or you accept that this is what you have to work with to get what you want.

So whether you think him a thief of not, that is beside the point. What is is that the man sits as senate president, and he is right that we need to get the trash exposed, and out. How, only the people will decide that one.


It is easy to sit and tell stories. What Nigeria needs are active citizens, and it really does not take much to act. You claim your relative worked there as a personal aide. Na only story im bring back for you?

Like I said, the man has made yet another vow, it is up to the Nigerian people to see to it that he does not go back on it.

LocalChamp: We will expose corrupt senators – Mark
On July 8, 2012 · In News 12:50 amEmail1

By HENRY UMORU

SENATE President David Mark has vowed to expose corrupt senators and those engaged in acts capable of tarnishing the image of the National Assembly.

Mark stressed that no amount of blackmail will deter the institution from carrying out its oversight functions. He, however, cautioned members of the public against compromising lawmakers in the discharge of their duties, stressing that the National Assembly will continue to clear itself in its strong determination to meet the expectations of the electorate.

Speaking at the National Assembly-Private Sector Forum organised by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) in Lagos, the Senate president noted that allegation of corruption against the National Assembly was exaggerated.

According to him, “There are those who say that the National Assembly takes the bunch of the budget. This is very ridiculous. I know that what goes to the National Assembly is not more than 2.5% of the total budget. The National Assembly members are always accused of corruption but Nigerians ,to a large extent ,are responsible for this alleged corruption.

”If a businessman gives a bribe to a lawmaker, is it only the lawmaker that is corrupt? If the business man didn’t offer the bribe, the lawmaker will not accept. But the question remains: Why did he accept it? If our National Assembly members are found wanting, we will discipline them.

“We will clean our house to earn the respect of those that elected us into our respective offices. We will continue to clean our house and those who bring us to shame will get their punishment accordingly.”

Stressing that the legislature as an arm of government is on a steady growth and improving by each legislative day, Mark recalled that the level of rancour that characterized the legislative houses between 1999 and 2003 has been reduced.

“We would continue to improve on legislative business until we attain a level where the average Nigerian will be satisfied with our performance”, he said.

Scissorshand: @Andro Blaze,I gbadun u.When an abnormal situation arises,an abnormal response is required.I strongly advocate violence against our oppressive leaders,because slavemasters do not grant their slaves easy freedom.D truth is there is no justice in the judiciary here.Thank God for media as this,and d press.I tried advocating violent protests here in Ibadan on 2 different occasions,one was against a filling station hoarding and selling petrol @ at hiked price,I mobilized to no avail,people were complacent.I sincerely don't think Nigerians are ready 4 change.I remember with nostalgia aluta days in school.Aluta is dead,present crop of students have gone soft.God forbid I pay over 10k as school fees,when d Chancellor and State governor had free education.My point is most of us are not ready for violent change.Whereas, our oppressors are violent. I'm patiently waiting when God will avenge the oppressed in this nation,when d oppressed will go up in arms against their oppressors,and we forcefully take our Kingdom of Heaven, for right now,it is their own Kingdom of Heaven.

Kobojunkie:

So, in the case of the millions who protested in Egypt. They were really dumb, right?

Because from your assertion, all they really had to do, to[b] change the entrenched system,[/b] was send just one man to the courts up against the system. Right?

They wasted their time there because just one man stepping out in the courts would = the people. Abi??

Scissorshand: @kobo, u missed my point. I do not support d waiting game.I am not my parents. I support violent change. I don't really know u, am I wrong to assume that u are one of those who'll always talk, but when shit hits d fan, are no where to be found. For me, I'm fed up with supporting legal routes. I support armed struggle. Do I have my arms, na naija we dey, u kan always get a lil' sumtin.

brownlord: Mark, Mark, Mark, i will not read this statement i only read the headline have this to say YOU ARE VERY STUPID
