I want to say happy birthday to a very special Nigerian, who has distinguished himself in ALL assignments given to him by his country, he has always put nation first before self and in some instances risked his life for things that bring no material gain to him. If half of our leaders were just half as patriotic as this guy, we definitely would have been light years ahead in development. Happy birthday mallam Nuhu Ribadu though not perfect like every other human but you have displayed unrivalled courage in the fight against corruption like no other person yet you were not even the commander in chief but you displayed uncommon courage and resilience in the fight to restore sanity, though corruption fought back and it appears to be winning again but it's only for a little while before people like you get back there. Enjoy you day!

Sick man! what concerns SW with your hatred for Fulani.

Nigerians dont like the truth! Since the creation of the FCT there has not been any fct minister that has performed half as much as el rufai did yet he's the one that is most hated by "some" bigoted soul. We will ultimately have to choose as a nation what kind of leaders we want

Mayor_of_Lagos: What a twist of fortune!

Ibo women are politically more conscious than their men. Unlike the politically inept Ibo men, the women are quick to recognize a breach in social contract and to demand a redress. Perharps all the parties in SE should be fielding women guber candidates going forward.

The reason is simple the guys dont go to school, they are mainly traders with little or no education, its mainly the igbo women that go to school. Unlike Yorubaland where a very illiterate poor mother will sell all she has to make sure her children get quality education by all means.

redsun: Respect my assss. They know that as long as chimps are incharged of Africa,Africans will never see the light and that gives them the favourable condition to keep exploiting Africa with ease.

As long as Africans remain dumb,Oyinbos will always exploit them.

shut d f--k up ur Otuoke chimp can never, light years to come measure up to baba Iyabo, death and sleep are not
The same. Jonathan can never win any party's nominations if not for yar adua's death you guys know it he is tooooooo dumb and clueless! He is the worst president Nigeria ever had! I know plenty persons that are better than the clown in bayelsa. He is the worst product ever exported by the Ijaw nation

CAN and friends!

Pdp and their rape of Nigeria's democracy. When Uwais report on electoral reforms was released one of the crucial points it recommended was that the inec chairman and commissioners must not be pick by the president but Gej knew it will be political suicide so he cherry picked the report chose the ones he wanted and rejected the real ones that would ve change our electoral process for life, he preferred to focus on his immediate gain, rather
Than think of the nation first. This is the only way pdp has been winning elections by selecting their cronies as umpires aside which they make sure materials dont get to the areas where the opposition is popular, deploy soldiers to opposition stronghold in the name of security if all that dont work just write d result they want and announce in abuja, let the opposition go to court!

Hope u guys saw Kwakwanso's composure in the pics, sorry to say Gej is messing with the wrong guys. Who ever adviced hom to engage in harassment doesn't like him. Btw since when did it become illigal for tunde, Gambo and Musa to meet and discuss in any part of Nigeria let alone elected govs, Emperor Gej is finally showing his true colours!

Stela is a thief! Are supporters are theives! Oby Ezekwisili is an igbo woman who distinguished herself in public service, when Okupe a Yoruba man was trying to rubbish her the shameless few bigots supporting stela did not bother to stand by this great igbo daughter who has distinguished herself world over yet thw same rotten bigots are ready to die for oduah in the name of supporting an igbo daughter, like I said earlier all Stela's supporters are barawos!

My friend travelled to Bayelsa and when he returned he said to we actually deserve what we are getting now for ever goin to bayelsa to pick a leader of this great Nation. He said he met the most backward people in Nigeria in Bayelsa, but for me it's the President outfit, he always looks like a clown about to put up a show haba cow boy hat in 2013, on buba and sokoto, he is Black as in charcoal yet he keeps putting on black on black. Even Mr ibu's costumes is no where near as comic as Gejs'.

bloggernaija: This is a waste of money.
After 2 yrs , you will have the change the cars all over again
Who are these VIPS.
CAN THESE PEOPLE NOT HAVE PITY ON THE COMMON MAN ON THE STREET.

naaah oppressors dont ever have pity on their victims, its the duty of the oppressed to fight back. Stop moaning poor pipu! Get up and fight for yaah right like the egyptians and tunisians did. There is no free freedom, ya ll must fight hard for it.

Bigoted soul when will you quit ur politics of religion. Since your boss Gej has nothing to show for his four years as president, I actually understand why you guys must be so desperate. Apc has as much Christians in its board as much as moslems. Why are igbos fanning this flame of discord across the country, wont Gejs tenure be over some day. What happens after that, how do you face the rest of Nigerians. You hate yorubas, you hate Fulanis, you hate hausa s, so how are you going to be president of Nigeria? By colonising the rest of us? Apc is not the reason why pdp is failing get that straight, pdp is failing cos it a party of clueless thieves.

Pls permit me to drop a few line cos someone said earlier that the tread is for only igbo s but I am not igbo. Please I ve noted on nairaland that most issues being discussed about the Anambra election are mainly based on ethnic loyalties. I think not many people are doubtful about Ngige's ability to get the jib done better than others considering his track record and experience but the issue is that he is in a yoruba party party, let me advice that u guys should not throw the baby away with the bath water. Am sure Ngige did not know that the hatred of yorubas by igbos will be this much, am very sure if he knew he would ve avoided the party like a plague so pls bear with him its not his fault. In anycase what is the myth about igbo party is apga really an igbo party, igbo party without owele rochas okorocha, prof ben Nwabueze, ike ekweremadu, so who are the igbo leaders in apga ? Victor umeh and Peter obi right?

Gej has spent more than four years in charge as commander in cheif. Let me say that when Obj to over Nigeria was at the verge oftotal collapse, economically,democratically and very ccomatos iinfrastructure. What was handed over to Gej.a debtless country, with over 60b dollars foreign reserve and 22b dollars excess crude account plus a lot of ongoing reforms. Four years after Gej took over. What do we have virtually empty excess crude, foriegn reserve depleted badly yet individual account abroad keep bolstering.

Oby ezekwisili, Nuhu Ribadu, Chukwuma Soludo, Nasir El Rufai, ifueko omuigu and of course Babatunde Raji Fashola (the best of them all).

Its very simple when Gani fawehinmi and falana said they will not take any case against Nuhu Ribadu lead efcc then I told friends that this is what true lovers of Nigeria should do at that point. The corrupt gathered themselves together and fought back, they sold the propaganda that Ribadu was only fighting Obasanjo's enemy and gbam that was it, the whole fight against corruption became trivialised. The young man who had given his all for the love of father land was removed and almost killed and many Nigerians were cheering, I almost argued my life out that andoaka and ibori can never love due process more than Gani and falana but Nigerians fell for the bait that Ribadu was being used to fight obj s wars but I asked the people to show me a single soul that Ribadu's efcc prosecuted that was not corrupt NONE. If the fight had been sustained today perhaps Nigeria would ve been a different country by now atleast no one or group would ve stolen 1 trillion naira in one year all in the name of fuel subsidy. When we are ready to develop we will abandon sentiments and vote in courageous leaders who can actually effect change without minding whose ox is gored until then enjoy FRESH AIR whatever that means!

solomon111: In the eventuality of war with the ijaws,you think those knife-wielding,IED-using hausa fulani horde can defeat an oil-funded ijaw army properly armed with modern missiles and fighters.?
You think war is about numbers?
The israelis are a case-study.

Here we go again, you guys are goin on a suicide mission . After now you start blaming yorubas for not jioning you in your suicidal war, wake up guys you are too small to defeat the federal republic of Nigeria. Just toooo small.

Asari is a clown holding on to the final straw, as soon as a proper govt is sworn in come 2015 he is goin back to where criminals like him belong, where he spent his time when gen obasanjo was in power. Ijaw is tooooooooo small to hit a Nigeria, Gej dont lead ur people to a suicidal war! 2015 is not by force if! Nigerians and only Nigerians will decide okay! The Gambaris of North West and north east, the amala and ewedu mouthed yorubas that asari and Edwin Clark ve been abusing up and down will decide come 2015. If Asari and his sponsors are not clowns the would know that the 14.8m registered voters of SE and SS can never return Gej to Aso rock. Of course there is no way a child will eat oil without staining himself.

How long are you guys goin to keep patching this guy up he is just unbelievably incompetent, just look at how jittery eveyone around him was. Everytime he is asked questions about his job he never gives any coherent answer. How long are we goin to manage this kind of president, you guys promoting this mediocre dont love Nigeria at all, even if I didn't go to school 2 yrs of acting presideny and 2 1/2 yrs of another term thats 4.5 years as commander in chief of the federal republic yet any of the guys walking with hime would ve answered the questions far better and you guys want to force the man on us in 2015. Tell me sincerely if any nation were to have a clueless, mediocre leader like Gej for 10 years what would be left of the country after that ten years. Haba ! Guys fear God nah! This your man is crassly incompetent and totally unable to change Nigeria for the better. Did you see the Brazilian president deliver HER speech without reading from a script! My president cannot even read from a script properly, he has to return to Otuoke come 2015, let the south south give us a competent man in 2015 not Gej. So sorry to say this but Gej does not inspire no body not even his domestic aides he is just too basic to be a leader of a great country like Nigeria.

The story is very fake #believethisbelieveanything!

Someone asked a question earlier which I want to re echo. Why would any right thinking human ask why sane people are opposed to a corrupt and clueless leadership. Only a bigoted soul will continue his blind support for a failed leader.

Orji Kalu like a typical fraudster registered different companies like shipping companies without a single vessel, slok airline without a single plane but three years into his first term suddenly the planes arrived, the ships arrived. And just like that started building his businesses in broad daylight with public funds. In my opinion he is the biggest fraudster in Nigeria. Orji and his mum stole everything steal able in Abia.

May his soul rest in peace. Call Agagu anything but you cant take way the fact that he was a perfect gentleman. I am not from
Ondo state but Agagu's charisma and carriage is world class. A very decent man aswell never allowed thuggery around him. Dr Agagu is your quintessential gentleman. He will really be missed.

Let Gej try this with Kwankwanso or Babangida Aliyu, why harras only Ameachi, try the other renegades too nah! 10 years of Gej govt is a disaster to any nation, he has spent 4 years already with a absolutely nothing tangible to show, so he needs to weep up ethnic and religious setiments cos thats the only way Gej can win an election in Nigeria.

Cant wait to see how 7.4m registered voters in south east and 8.5m reg voters in south south will return Gej as president. Now that we have voted Jonathan in as president, the next thing is to harass and abuse everybody else that is not ibo or ijaw, time will tell, after all there is no way a child will eat oil without staining his mouth. We are waiting, instead of ur Oga delivering excellent performance he is banking on religious and ethnic sentiments to win again, like he did when he had no shoes.

My problem with Gej is the high level of mediocrity, cluelessness and corruption in his govt. If he had given corruption a good fight, reformed govt processes for more efficiency I would ve been a great fan of his, but he chose to protect the business as usual pro establishment guys. After almost four years in power he has practically nothibg to show for the huge revenue and massive debt that wwe have incured in this period. So why should I support him for a second term?

Its typical Nigeria where no one answers to nobody but their pockets. President not answerable to the citizens, police serving only VIPs, Justice goes to the highest bidder, so what do u expect from your ordinary civil servant. He doesn't give a damn like his president its a shit hole here, every one is in it for the money so f__k service! I live in Abuja and deal with civil servants almost on a daily basis Nigeria has the most unproductive and mediocre civil service in the whole world. If u know any else pls say with facts.

My admiration for chief Audu Ogbeh is too much. He I soo so so articulate, so courageous and very very intelligent. I wish APC could pick him as its presidential candidate and Fashola as deputy, I bet pdp will lose the elections, because all Gej has to campaign are the sentiments of ethnicity and religion with Ogbeh a christian as APC candidate then Gej has nothing to sell. Anyway its uo to Nigerians to decide.

jdj: The Liberty Report

Tinubu and Fashola
Tinubu and Fashola: accused by citizen of huge fraud
A list tagged The Tinubu List has been forwarded to the Liberty Report by a citizen who claimed that the contents of the list constitute ill-gotten assets traceable to the strongman of Lagos politics, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The Liberty Report has no independent way of authenticating the alleged corruption list. An email enquiry sent to the office of the governor of Lagos State was not responded to as at press time. The List is being published as a matter of public interest. Those accused in the list are public figures.

The sender said he challenged Bola Tinubu or the EFCC to disprove the content. The list is reproduced below.

THE TINUBU LIST – UNEDITED
1. 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi: A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land which was originally the Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979, but which now belongs to Tinubu. The certificate of occupancy of the property valued at N450 million was signed and released to him by Fashola in 2007 shortly after he assumed office.

2. Tinubu’s residence at 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi was initially falsely presented as Oando Plc Guest House. Later, he purportedly bought it from Oando, and used public funds to rebuild and renovate it. The Lagos State Government bought the property and paid an undisclosed sum to him and thereafter gave the property back to him under the bogus Pension Bill he signed to law shortly before he left office in 2007. The property is worth over N600 million.

3. The annex of the Lagos State Guest House in Asokoro, Abuja was bought by the State Government in 2006 for N450 million, purportedly to protect the main house from security breach. Shortly after Tinubu left office, the property was transferred to him under the pension plan he signed into law before leaving office.

4. The 250-hectare land valued at about N35billion and strategically located at the Ajah junction on Lekki Road was initially meant for a General Hospital for the people of Eti-Osa Local Government but was stolen by Tinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd – a company owned by Deji and Wale Tinubu – to develop as Royal Garden Housing Estate at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.

5. The 1,000 hectares of land valued at about N75billion located at Lakowe near Abijo at Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Lekki Concession Company (LCC) which is partly- owned by Tinubu and Fashola and being developed as golf course and housing estate by Assets and Resource Management Ltd (ARM) as ADIVA project.

6. The prime land of 157 hectares with 2.5km of Atlantic beachfront valued at about N10billion and stolen by Tinubu from the communities of Siriwon, Igbekodo, Apakin, etc in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Ibukun Fakeye – his crony to build a golf course and luxury villa with little or no compensation to the villagers. In addition, Tinubu paid $20million (N3billion) out of public treasury to Ibukun Fakeye to commence the project in late 2006. Fashola has since released additional funding for this project, which is not owned by the state government.

7. The 14-hectare Parkview Ikoyi Estate foreshore land reclaimed by Lagos State Government is now owned by Bola Tinubu.

8. While in office, he allocated to himself the former Strabag yard beside the Lagos State Secretariat at Alausa, Ikeja. The property is now being developed into a shopping mall as big as the Palms in Lekki. This is public property brazenly stolen and now owned by Tinubu, aided by Fashola.

9. The choice property at Lekki-Epe road on which he built and owns the multi-billion naira Oriental Hotel and the extension of multi-storey car park beside it. Also, the multi-level recreation centre by Mobil in Oniru Estate on Lekki-Epe road jointly owned with ARM and Tunji Olowolafe. All these assets valued at over N25billion were obtained without paying a kobo to the Lagos State Government.

10. Tinubu and Fashola sold the following prime Lagos properties to their personal friend and front – Prince Dipo Eludoyin at very ridiculous prices:

• The 3.8-hectare of land of Lagos State Fisheries office in VI (beside the Institute of Oceanography) valued at N3billion.

• The fishery landing jetty at Badore (where the Ilubirin fishermen were to be relocated) valued at N500million

• The entire Ogudu foreshore scheme initially earmarked for a low-cost housing scheme valued at N5billion

• The Ilubinrin housing estate (which used to house Lagos state civil servants and judges up till 2007) valued at N2.5billion.

• The former Julius Berger yard at Oko Orisan, Epe valued at N450million.

11. Tinubu raised a loan of N4.7billion on Eko Akete project for which nothing was achieved before he turned around to sell the property to his Chagouri friends of Chagouri & Chagouri and Hitech Construction Ltd at a ridiculously low price at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.

12. Tinubu applied to personally purchase the Federal Secretariat building while in office. When he couldn’t get to buy it, he directed Fashola to stop the eventual owner of the complex to develop it. The complex is presently wasting away courtesy of the Lagos State Government.

13. It took several months of horse trading and underhand payments before Fashola could allow the new owners of 1004 flats to redevelop the complex.

14. Several other buyers of Federal Government properties and developers of properties in Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Government Reservation Area Ikeja were forced to succumb to the outrageous demands of Tinubu, Fashola, Commissioner Abosede and other officials of the Lagos State Physical Planning Ministry and were made to pay ridiculous amounts to private accounts before their redevelopments were approved. Those who refused or were unable to pay could not develop their properties. This is a major economic strangulation of property developers and has contributed largely to the skyrocketing rent in Ikoyi, VI and Lekki axis.

15. Tinubu converted all the plots of land where Lagos Polytechnic was located at Ikosi near the old toll gate. He chased away the Polytechnic in 2006 and went ahead to locate the choice plots to himself, his cronies and political associates. The headquarters of Television Continental (TVC), which is owned by him, is located there. He deprived the youths of Lagos of decent education because of his greed.

16. Tinubu singlehandedly sold the prime land on Aboyade Cole, Victoria Island which was recovered from some allotees, to UACN Properties Plc. The amount of proceeds was shrouded in secrecy.

17. Eludoyin, fronting for Tinubu, built the estate directly opposite Goshen Beach Estate in Lekki area.

18. Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu, built the massive New Era Foundation youth camp at the junction of Eleko, off the Lekki-Epe express road, with Lagos State funds and has now converted it to personal use.

19. Tinubu owns the Fara Park Estate and the Beach Wood Estate both in Lekki.

20. The Critical Care unit at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, built and equipped with state funds, is now owned personally by Tinubu. He has put one Dr. Sikiru Tinubu, (a supposed cousin of his) to run the outfit. It is run as a private unit and the proceeds are pocketed by the duo. The unit charges its users exorbitantly and most Lagosians can hardly afford to pay its high charges. Much of the revenue is derived from fees paid by the State Government for patients referred there by its General Hospitals.

21. Several prominent Nigerians in the judiciary, police, INEC, and other sensitive agencies have obtained prime land from former Governor Tinubu and incumbent Governor Fashola over the years without paying a kobo. Many of them had turned around to sell the land to third parties at substantial profit. Many top officials in the police, INEC and the judiciary who participated in the 2003 and 2007 elections and tribunals in states where Tinubu has interest were compromised with parcels of free prime Lagos land and cash. If the Lagos State Land’s Bureau could publish the names and identities of beneficiaries of land allotees from 2000 to date, the scandal that will result is better imagined. Gbenga Ashafa, now a Senator, and Mrs. Awofisayo were the conduits through which these acts were being perpetrated. Both were also personally involved in various dubious land transactions on their own.

22. Prime land and properties have been used to pay off public officials who are personally close to Tinubu and Fashola for “jobs well done” or for being privy to sensitive information, notably:

(a) Dele Alake, former Commissioner for Information and Strategy, was sold a whole house on Alexander Road, Ikoyi where he lived as official quarters at a give-away price.
