she is in that old ugly South West fool's room with his d..k in her m..th

No comment

The old fool wants to probe Nitel, who gives a hoot about nitel? We are all screaming for the probe of more sectors like the power sector under the ugly thief of the South West as well as the halliburton scandal. Old bubu, shove this probe into your ugly a$$

yea, hypocrisy does no good!

Trut:
Why is APC Babo0ns and M0nkeys running away from this thread? They've not infiltrated the thread with insults and lies as usual.

And some unreasonable kids will come up here and call the justice seekers 'wailers'

exactly my point. You can't get rid of corruption by prosecuting only those in the opposition. Then that clearly would be termed a witch-hunt. He better starts with Aisha then he move to Tinubu, then Amaechi, then he can face the others.

psucc:
If Buhari will have the hearts to prosecute his sponsors, better if not, let him safe us time and mind governance which he was voted to do.

I keep wondering why the old kuunu suckerr keeps ranting about phiting kwarapshan when his Aisha whom he sleeps next to everyday perpetrated one of the worst corruption cases in the history of this zooo

Candyrain:
What's this revelation meant to do, for Bubu to prosecute his own people? Bubu has skeleton in his closet and he won't dare touch them.

but we know Adams has a numerical diarrhea

•FG tightens noose on persons involved





President Muhammadu Buhari is in a dilemma over what to do with key members of his defunct campaign council who are allegedly neck deep in the stolen $150 billion stashed in foreign bank accounts.

Buhari and Obama

Buhari has enlisted the United States to help recover funds stolen during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.



“The fact that I now seek [U.S. President Barack] Obama’s assistance in locating and returning $150 billion in funds stolen in the past decade and held in foreign bank accounts on behalf of former corrupt officials is testament to how badly Nigeria has been run.



“This way of conducting our affairs cannot continue,” Buhari said in an article he published in Washington Post on July 20.





Who stole what?

Investigation showed that the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Federal Reserves Bank (equivalent of Central Bank of Nigeria), have put faces to the staggering sums lodged in safe offshore accounts.



But against the hunch in the Buhari camp that only Jonathan’s henchmen were involved in the loot, the FBI and other America spy agents listed names of close associates of Buhari, some of who funded his election.



Buhari has also disclosed that the U.S., which is helping with the investigation, has traced various accounts where loots are lodged.



He made the disclosure in Abuja when he hosted American lawmakers who visited Nigeria last week. But he did not name the account holders.





It’s PDP, Oshiomhole says

Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has claimed that members of Buhari’s delegation to the U.S., which he was part of, were told that a minister under Jonathan stole $6 billion.



His words: “The PDP destroyed the country. I mean from the lips of American officials; senior officials of the State Department said one minister under PDP cornered as much as $6 billion.



“The man said even by Washington standard that is earth-quaking.



“So, the PDP is a party that presided over the liquidation of our nation, destroyed all our institutions, converted the Armed Forces commanders to use them as if they were political thugs, converted NTA (Nigerian Television Authority) to a party megaphone, destroyed the SSS (State Security Services), went after the opposition as if we were rabbits to be pursued into our holes, compromised even student unions and destroyed everything that you can think of and elevated religion to a state affair.



“Under the party, Israel became a place you visit every week; they placed pastors against mallams, placed North against South, East against West just to retain power; elevated obas and obis with dollars.



“You guys were reporting dollars that were changing hands; when the NNPC (Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation) was spending much more money than is available to the Federation Account.



“We are a very patient people. If we were not a patient people, anybody wearing the tag of PDP ought to feel very unsafe because you are all victims – all of us here.”





PDP, APC involved in the looting

But disclosure from the U.S. showed that the looting involved many APC governors, past and present, and the majority of them are from the North.



“The information available to Buhari highlighted persons who were involved and what they owned across parties. A substantial number of the looters are governors from the North.



“Buhari is in a dilemma on what to do with them because he profited from their money during his election,” a source told TheNiche.



Washington is mounting pressure on Buhari not to spare anyone involved in the loot from prosecution once the government assembles all the evidence.



It said that would be a way for the two countries to strengthen diplomatic ties. “President Barack Obama has long seen Nigeria as arguably the most important strategic country in sub-Saharan Africa.



“The question is, would there be an opportunity to deepen our engagement and that opportunity is now,’’ U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, told reporters during Buhari’s visit to the U.S. last month.





Abuja tightens noose on suspects

As a first measure, Aso Rock has directed security agencies to keep an eye on all former governors and former ministers who served under Jonathan and many of his aides.



However, Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, told TheNiche that he is not aware of such a directive.



Sources in the security network confirmed that foreign travel by former governors, especially those of the PDP, have been restricted.



TheNiche learnt that certain embassies have been notified about the former governors and ministers who want to leave the country, using their diplomatic passports that have a life span of five years.



However, an immigration chief told this newspaper on Friday, August 17 that there is not much the Immigration Service can do to stop the former governors and ministers from escaping, going by the porous state of the country’s borders.



“They can always escape through Cotonou and Dubai,” he said.



Many former governors are in the country, and some of them are being interrogated or prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).



Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu, was in transit when TheNiche tried to get his reaction to the story. We could not get his comment due to poor telecommunication service.

Climate change: Obama unveils Clean Power Plan

3 August 2015
From the section US & Canada comments

Media caption President Obama: "I believe there is such a thing as being too late"

US President Barack Obama has unveiled what he called "the biggest, most important step we have ever taken" in tackling climate change.

The aim of the revised Clean Power Plan is to cut greenhouse gas emissions from US power stations by nearly a third within 15 years.

The measures will place significant emphasis on wind and solar power and other renewable energy sources.

However, opponents in the energy industry have vowed to fight the plan.

"I'm convinced no challenge provides a greater threat to the future of the planet," Mr Obama said. "There is such a thing as being too late."

Those opponents say Mr Obama has declared "a war on coal". Power plants fired by coal provide more than a third of the US electricity supply.

Breaking down the clean power plan

The revised plan will aim to cut carbon emissions from the power sector by 32% by 2030, compared with 2005 levels.

"We are the first generation to feel the impacts of climate change, and the last generation to be able to do something about it," Mr Obama said. He likened the plan to taking 166 million cars off the road in terms of environmental impact. He called taking a stand against climate change a "moral obligation".

Mr Obama brushed off the notion that the plan is a "War on Coal" that will kill jobs and said he is reinvesting in areas of the US known as "coal country".

"Scaremonging" tactics will not work to stop the proposal, he said.

"If we don't do it nobody will. America leads the way forward... that's what this plan is about. This is our moment to get something right and get something right for our kids," he said.
US power stations are the country's largest source of greenhouse gases
Analysis - Matt McGrath, environment correspondent

The big question for the president is how to ensure that these carefully crafted rules don't end up in the recycling bin of history.

The White House believes that by vesting the power to implement these changes in the hands of individual states, they are pulling the rug from Republican claims that this is another Washington imposed, big government boondoggle.

The president is calculating that the courts will uphold the rights of the EPA to regulate carbon emissions under the Clean Air Act, as they have done on a number of occasions in recent years.

He is also gambling that because of the uncertainty of the courts and the long lead time until the regulations bite, many Republican governors will grasp the nettle and accept the changes.

The president sees this plan as the cornerstone of his attempt to secure a global treaty on climate change in Paris at the end of the year. But he needs that conference to succeed almost as much as the beleaguered UN process needs him.

Getting a deal in the French capital may help "save the world" from the worst ravages of climate change. It would also make it very difficult for his successor to unravel the Clean Power Plan.

Each US state will have an emission-cutting goal assigned to it and must submit a proposal to the Environmental Protection Agency on how it will meet the target.

The BBC's Tom Bateman in Washington says President Obama will hope that Monday's announcement secures his legacy on climate change.

The measures, our correspondent says, would give the president the moral authority he needs to argue for global reductions in greenhouse gases at a major conference in Paris later this year.

However, several state governors are already saying they will simply ignore the plans.

In face of the criticism, the White House said the release of the plan was "the starting gun for an all-out climate push" by the president and his cabinet.
Hillary Clinton vow

In a video released by the White House, Mr Obama said the new limits were backed up by decades of data showing that without action the world faced more extreme weather and escalating health problems.

"Climate change is not a problem for another generation. Not any more," Mr Obama said.

"My administration will release the final version of America's Clean Power Plan, the biggest, most important step we have ever taken to combat climate change."

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said she would defend the plan if she was elected to replace Mr Obama.

"It will need defending. Because Republican doubters and defeatists - including every Republican candidate for president - won't offer any credible solution," she said.

"The truth is, they don't want one."

One Republican presidential candidate, Marco Rubio, said the plan would be "catastrophic," while another, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, said the plan was "irresponsible and over-reaching".

"The Supreme Court ruled, it's very clear that the EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, so regulation is inevitable and I think it's very irresponsible for the Republican leadership to go out there and say we don't have any solutions, this is all wrong, we don't believe in the science, so let's throw up our hands and do nothing," Heather Zichal, a former climate and energy adviser to the president and a key architect of the plan told the BBC's Matt McGrath.

"This will be an issue in the 2016 election and because the Democrats have a far more responsible policy position, it will allow them to prevail."

Correspondents say the emphasis on renewable energy sources marks a significant shift from the earlier version of the plan that sought to speed up a transition from coal-fired power to natural gas plants, which emit less carbon dioxide.

It is believed the revised plan will aim to keep the share of natural gas in US power generation at current levels.

Power stations are the largest source of greenhouse gases in the US and account for about one third of all such US emissions.

Haven read this piece, I then thought for a sec what our amiable president said to our brothers in Benin Republic and wept for over 160 million people; obviously displaying a complete lack of ideas or plan for the country he supposedly should lead to prosperity, dashing completely the hopes of those who ever wished for a better tomorrow and reminding them that where they are is and will always be better than their home country and there is nothing he can do about it.

Tell me how someone who hates money this much goes around with bundles of dollar bills in his jacket. crazy fool

your mallaam ab0ki moniker says it all. Dullard illiterate that only thrive on quota system. Empty shiit head!

abduljabbar4:
Gej was the most foolish and useless president in the world

No insult meant

Our able and master clueless dunce, we hail you! It's obvious you are saying the truth because the bunch of ideas stuffed in your shrinking brain is just next to nothing. 4 years of touring my dear fresident!

APC will go down soon....

Gboliwe:
So they sent you to jail unjustly and you are still protecting them? It's not done that way my dear. Like I said, you will likely find justice and peace here if you tell your story truthfully and in detail too

She cooked this up, my conclusion!

Nigeria36:
Please which Investigation Agency do u work with?

You do not expect me to disclose that information do you?

mamboroo:
yes
Its a long story but the guy whose money was stolen still needs his money back
He is not satisfied with the punishment
I wish I could explain everything here
But who cares anyway

Babe, I'm not interested in the long story. These are the points I need.
1) Who and who were at the office on the day it happened, with this information, we can streamline to who and who had access to the office where the money was kept and most importantly we have to know who and who have access to where the money was locked up. With this namelist, our suspect is within range.

2) You setup a meeting between my people and your boss, He will pay us an agreed sum from the said money but an initial fee that would cover our operational costs. You have nothing to lose here. We have to get paid because it could get very risky and costly to get to the bottom of the matter. We are that good!

3) We will get those involved and the rest would be history. Imagine what happens when you are cleared of the wrong while at the same time you may be considered for some form of consolation. This is what you may have to do if you keep your head and man up. I'm not going to reply you again on this.

What is not easy, knowing the people who blackmailed you or going after them? Kindly Answer.

mamboroo:
its not easy as you think my dear...

Let me help. Do you have an idea of who might be the ones that stole the money? If yes, then you must go after them. That is the only way to get your life back! If you reply, we can figure out a way around this. It could take some time but it is the only way around this little problem of yours. I call it little because it's not so complicate and there is a way out!
