rhymz: A few years ago, there were reports about how Oyedepo was planning to float a company, Diamond airlines and all that crap these crooks do in the name of God, nobody questioned the legality of doing such. If you are not familiar with the racketeering that goes on in the Nigerian aviation please don't come up here to spew sentimental bullcrap.
More than 70% of Nigerian owned aircraft are not registered with the NCAA for reasons that are to some extent dubious and frivolous, most of them are registered in SA and the U.S. As if that is not enough, they give these jets that are supposed to be "private" to airline operators for commercial uses while dodging away from taxes. Little wonder clerical rogues like Oyedepo saw the need to get four of them, he was busy doing business with them and profiteering by circumventing the weak aviation laws of Nigeria, yet these are the rogues that stand on the pulpit to talk about God and honesty yet non of his four jets are registered with NCAA. Now that the ministry has decided to take decisive steps to deal with them, them wan begin run mouth. . .

Dem go soon begin call you lapdog for telling the truth.

How many of you get motor car, talkless of jets? Let those who have money to afford jets worry about the discomfort. Why you no talk say why the law say make British airways declare their manifest before flying? Mtcheewwww.

Why you no question America wey also say the manifest must be declared before flying?

ogaga144: One of those cars thats not OK for our roads and the parts are rare.

why are they not ok for our roads?

denzel2009: Bros. The way way Nigerian banks generally distribute their bank cards and security tokens/fobs are flawed. They are prone to fraud!

Another thing you need to know is schemers are developing ways to bypass every level of security online these days. Your computer may have been infected with a trojan in such a way that your online sessions are hijacked everytime you log on.

Forget about having your token with you, when your session is hijacked, they are free to to move funds as they wish. In your quest to ascertain whatever is going on, you log in again and they do more transfers.

The simple solution is either not do online transactions or never to log on to a bank website that doesnt have a secure end to end connection like https web address.

Edit: I was also told when you buy things online in Naija, you input your ATM PIN. God help you guys!

Who told you that? Show us the online website.

OP, maybe you had at one time responded to a mail purportedly from your bank to update your online details? This could be where you let out your details.

Which kind of English is this? Na wa o

Its a Chevy Camaro dude. I see them all over the place in Nigeria.

nagoma: This is pathetic! You call this one page gutter criticism a response? And from a professor? To a 600 page book? let him write even 100 pages of the story of his crooked life at the CBN and you will see how we will tear him apart.And Cecilia Ibru can help him write achapter.

You sound like a boko haram member. Confirmed.

Abeg Abeg Abeg. Discuss that with the kids in here.

The same Buhari who gave Abacha a clean bill of health. He said Abacha didnt steal any money, now we know who he is.

Everything is tale to you. One day you will realise your life is a tale.

Of all the lies he had been accused of concocting, the only comment you have is to blame Soludo for responding by writing a book in the press. With the way you think, you will end up another EL Rufai.

THE Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has raised the alarm that the Goodluck Jonathan-led administration is steadily descending into despotism with a brazen assault on the freedom of expression and the press, the use of national institutions against perceived enemies and a growing inclination to denigrate opposition leaders.

“The Jonathan Administration is anchored on a Transformation Agenda. But the only transformation that we can see is the one from a democratically-elected President to an Emperor, a despot,’’ the party said in a statement in Lagos, on Sunday, by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

In its reaction, the Presidency hit back at the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) over its claims that President Jonathan was descending into despotism, with the Presidency maintaining that it was in fact the ACN that was home to budding despots in the country.

A statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, in Abuja on Sunday, observed that the latest statement issued by the opposition party in which it wrongly claimed that the Jonathan administration was “descending into despotism,” was yet another attempt by the party to “stand the truth on its head and indulge in the politics of abuse.”

Noting that “they should not be allowed to get away with their perfidy,” the Presidency pointed out that Jonathan was a democratically elected leader who was running a people-oriented, inclusive and progressive government.

According to the statement, “Under his watch, Nigeria’s democracy has been consolidated; the scope for human freedoms has been further expanded and there is respect for due process and the rule of law. Ordinary, Nigerians appreciate the fact that they have a President who is humane, disciplined and focused.”

The statement wondered whether the ACN spokesman, Lai Mohammed, who issued the statement, “know the meaning of the word, despotism, or is he just throwing the word around for onomatopoetic effect?”

It added: “He and his sponsors are in fact beneficiaries of the openness and freedom that this administration promotes.
The paradox is that those who do not allow freedom and equality in their own party or backyard, those who are well known as self-proclaimed Godfathers and closet despots, are the same ones who are now quick to accuse others of despotism.

“The ACN should start by removing the log in its eyes. President Jonathan is not a despot. ACN is the real abode of budding despots in Nigeria.

“The Transformation Agenda which Lai Mohammed tries to pooh-pooh is a well thought-out blueprint on the basis of which this administration continues to serve the interests of the people and move the country forward.

“The evidence of the Jonathan administration’s achievements is visible in many aspects of Nigerian life and society: from agriculture, to aviation, the economy, job creation, power, industry, trade and investment, transportation and others. No amount of name-calling or partisan criticism will distract the government’s attention, just in case the ACN assumes that its persistent distortion of the facts will achieve that objective,” the Presidency said.

On the ACN’s allegation that there was a disagreement between the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi over the recently grounded jet, the Presidency maintained that it was “wrong-headed and mischievous.”

It recalled that Amaechi has publicly stated that this particular allegation was a piece of fiction created by certain persons and the media, adding, “we insist that President Jonathan is not engaged in any quarrel or dispute with Governor Amaechi.
And it is wrong to use the matter of the aircraft that was grounded by the aviation authorities to concoct stories of persecution.”

The Presidency observed that “the institutions involved have offered reasons publicly why they took their decision with regard to the unlicensed aircraft, which in any case is an asset of the state, not the Governor’s personal property. The President has nothing to do with that incident.”

Noting the ACN claims that there is ‘a growing propensity to stifle the freedom of expression and freedom of the press,’ the Presidency observed that the report by the Committee to Protect Journalists which the ACN quoted was not a comment on government-media relations in Nigeria.

According to the statement, “this administration sees the media as a strategic partner in the business of nation-building. The government not only enjoys a robust relationship with the media, it continues to encourage the freedom of expression and of the press.

“Lai Mohammed tries to substantiate his dubious claim by seeking to build something on nothing. He tries in vain. The truth is that the Nigerian media is pluralistic, vibrant, independent and free; it has grown in scope, size and in terms of the freedom to practice under this administration.

“All lovers of democracy must join us in reminding the ACN and its spokespersons that they cannot pull down this house with mere spittle because our democracy is strong and solid and the man at the helm of affairs is a democrat and a progressive leader,” the Presidency declared.

The ACN had said that “If the president is not prevailed upon to change course, Nigeria may be in for another season of anomie, reminiscent of the days of the maximum ruler who took the country to the brink before his sudden demise,’’ it said.

ACN said that the way President Jonathan was handling his political disagreement with a member of his party, Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, had portrayed him as a leader who was willing to jettison democratic ideals and principles on the altar of personal ambition.

The party wondered why national institutions had to be bastardised and compromised just to get at a political enemy, specifically citing the role being played by the Ministry of Aviation, its parastatals like the NCAA, NAMA and FAAN, as well as the EFCC and the police, among others, in the presidency’s clash with Amaechi.

“Like we said before, we are not perturbed by what is happening in the PDP. Our main concern is the fact that the party’s internal crisis is overheating the polity and threatening the country’s hard-won democracy.”

“ After the theatrics of the aviation agencies and their parent ministry, the EFCC has suddenly realised that the cost of the Rivers State’s plane was inflated by US$10 million, while the police have sacked the Secretariat of Obio-Akpro Local Government in Rivers. The question is: Who gave the orders for the police to sack the secretariat, and in the process take sides with the president in the political disagreement with the governor? Which are the other national institutions that will be drafted into this scorched-earth campaign against a perceived non-conformist party member?

“If the president can go to this length against his own party man, what will he do against the opposition? Why is it that a democratically-elected president cannot be challenged by anyone, whether or not he is a member of his party?’’ it queried.

ACN also expressed concerns at the growing propensity of the administration to stifle the freedom of expression and freedom of the press, citing the report by the Media Rights Group Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), on the occasion of this year’s World Press Freedom Day on May 3, as a global testimony to the worsening record of the administration as far as press freedom is concerned.

“According to the CPJ, Nigeria has become one of the worst countries in the world for deadly, unpunished violence against the press. Nigeria and Somalia are also the only African nations listed on the CPJ’s 2013 impunity ranking. Yet, the government has not relented in its attacks against the media: Gestapo-style arrest of Leadership journalists; fines slammed on Liberty Radio in Kaduna over a listener’s opinion on the so-called Good Governance Tour; arrest of two journalists of the Kaduna-based Al Mizan newspaper and the ban on a documentary on poverty in Nigeria, just to mention a few.

“Also, the ferocity with which the Jonathan administration went after a former minister of education, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili, for claiming that President Jonathan frittered away the 67 billion dollars in foreign reserves which she said President Olusegun Obasanjo left behind in 2007; and the fate that befell NEMA spokesman, Yushau Shuaib, for daring to criticise the lopsided appointments in parastatals under the Ministry of Finance, are glaring actions of an administration that is bent on stifling freedom of expression.

“These anti-democratic measures will worsen as the 2015 elections approach. Therefore, all lovers of democracy must join us in speaking out against the Jonathan-led administration’s descent into despotism. This is the only way to prevent a president’s desperation for power from torpedoing our country’s democracy. After all, a critical benchmark of a democratic society is the existence of a vibrant, free and independent media that will give the citizenry a platform to freely and vigorously debate current issues,’’ the party said.

If na me be El rufai, I will recall the book and burn them in fire, all of them. Stoopid nonsensical Mallam.

Abuja came out of an empty land to what it is today. Compare what Abuja was in 1990 to what it is today.

Where are the ACN labradors? Fashola must be a saint and no more a Nigerian politician who we all know their minds.

Fashion gone crazy.

kabba7: My worry is that GEJ is only playing to the gallery there is no way Yar Adja can be on his mind and he still continue with his LOOTING the policy he brought from Yenogoa to Aso rock, heck he is a lia its not posible .

You need to check into an asylum fast.

THE Federal Government has approved the sum of $3.7 billion for the power sector to improve its transmission lines, so as to be able to wheel 20,000 megawatts of electricity.

Vice President Namadi Sambo, who disclosed this at a meeting with Nigeria-Canadian Association of Greater Toronto area, in Canada at the weekend, said the money was approved last week.

Speaking at an interactive session, he explained ongoing efforts at improving infrastructure in the country, noting that “President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration is committed to ensuring adequate power supply, improvement in transportation, aviation, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) , agriculture, health care services, education and good governance.”

While pointing out the contributions of Nigerians in diaspora to national development, Sambo implored them to return home and be part of the effort at transforming the country.

He noted that it was in recognition of their contributions that a diaspora bond of N1 billion was set up.

Earlier, the president of the Nigeria-Canadian Association, Fabian Nwoha, had expressed the desire of the association to contribute positively to the development of the nation, noting that they had been discouraged by negative stories emanating from Nigeria.

However, he observed that with the new developments being witnessed in the country, they were confident in the ability of the government to deliver on promises.

Nwoha reminded government of its promise to provide a Consular office in Toronto, so as to help ease emerging diplomatic issues.

The Nigerian High Commissioner to Canada, Dr Ojo Maduekwe, commended the association.

Fu.c.k any lady that opens her legs for you. Shame.

This guy already said this is a lie. He doesnt even live in the US. Liers with bonga fish head. The MOD who put this on the front page is a fish head.

Well it is easy. You only have to count the number of letters in the word

1) Twelve : It has six letters.
2) Six: It has three letters.
3) Eight: It has 5 letters.

So naturally the answer is FIVE.

yemmight: Some people are just here to condemn Fashola. This short bridge will relieve lots of people working in Ikoyi as its links Lekki directly. I am aware that some of these projects are inflated highly but here in Lagos those projects are delivered which is the motive.

Can anyone remind me how many times Lagos-Ibadan road has been awarded to different contractors and yet today that road is still not fixed.

Haba, lets keep some credit to Fashola I beg.

Would this have come out of your mouth if this case is against a PDP governor.

Then there is no hope for Nigeria.

They will soon start saying it is misplaced priority.
