IPOB Youths are lovers of corruption

They hate Buhari because of his anti-corruption stance

IPOB Youths are mentally disturbed sociopaths

I don't know how you arrived at this but it seems you have committed a falacy of hasty generalization.how many IPOB youths do you know? How many did you interview to know they love corruption or hate buhari? Did your statistics cover the IPOB youths in the 6 geo political zones or just the south east? How did you know IPOB youths are mentally disturbed sociopaths? Have there been a rise recently in cases of mental illness? Are these cases all IPOB youths? One more thing, everybody does not need to love the president, what the president owes nigerianns is good governance and what we all need to do is to be loyal to the constitution of the federal republic of nigeria.so whether someone likes or hates the president it is immaterial, the system would flow on its own.our loyalty should not be to individuals but to the country

IPOB Youth

Give me example of a court order the government refused to obey

Stop thinking like an IPOB Youth

what is your problem with IPOB? What is wrong in thinking like an IPOB youth? Nnamdi kanu and dasuki are still in detention after 2 courts have granted them bail, those are 2 situations

[quote author=OgbeifunErom post=42066947]It is immaterial whether Tompolo is involved in the attacks on oil installations or not

The key issue right now is that, he is disobeying a court summon and previously he refused the invitation of the Federal Government through its agency- The EFCC.

He has therefore placed himself in a very difficult position. Yes, he has enemies and they could be responsible for these attacks but right now, he has to gather himself together and check himself into the nearest Police Station

To the IPOB Youths that are urging him on because they want the Niger Delta to turn to shooting practice zone, your wishes are DOA.

Nigerian are fully behind the administration of General Buhari (Rtd).

IPOB Youths that dont like it should go and die![/quot.your sense of judgment is seriously warped. You want tompolo to honour invitation when the F.G does not obey orders from its own court? When tompolo took efcc to court, did the efcc appear in court? What happened to your sense of fairness and equity?

Oshoimole is a talkative and lacks integrity

This people are not prepared for governance.PMB is surrounded by the mediocres in the society and they have elevated cluelessness to a new level.if you fail to get your vwife pregnant, blame Jonathan, if witch for your village dey disturb you, blame Jonathan. I remember when this administration started and the regular light supply then was attributed to the body language of mr president, I hope now that there is a decline in power supply, it wont be attributed to Jonathan? Jonathan the modern day devil, we salute you

TonyeBarcanista:
We are all aware of the alleged N13billion land deal scam involving Mr Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo, a former Niger Delta militant and some former officials of NIMASSA. It is no news that not only that Tompolo refused to respond to EFCC's investigators summon, he also refused to appear before the court. His refusal to appear forced the judge to slam a warrant of arrest against him, which as expected will be effected by security agents. Though some people choose to assume that he's untouchable. The raw truth is that nobody, including Tompolo is untouchable. It will be in his own interest to appear before the judge and not dare the State. I say this for the following reasons;

1. He Cannot Afford To Make "General" John Togo Mistake:
In 2010 General John Togo assumed that he was powerful and untouchable. He dared the government of Jonathan that was pressing on him to surrender to the federal government. He had received amnesty in 2009 under Yar'adua but went to the Creek when Jonathan took over power because "he was not having access to the villa". The military went after him, bombed his camp and innocent people of communities in Warri, Delta state. The Press were "hailing him" and elevating him to a deity status. Sahara Reporters December 28, 2010 report tagged him "The New Face of Niger Delta Insurgency" and even granted him phone interview. However, in May 2011, just 5months after his interview, it was announced that Togo has been killed by military strike in his camp and his body buried by his footsoldiers. It was also reported that he ordered his boys to surrender at the point of death. The military however exhumed his body and handed the corpse to his family for burial.

The "deified" Togo that thought he was untouchable met his untimely death.

2. He Can't Afford To Repeat His 2009 Mistake:
In 2009 Tompolo as the leader of a militant group refused to accept amnesty and went on to attack oil installation. The military went against him bombing Gbaramatu Kingdom and villages in his Warri South West LGA "stronghold" including Kolokoloama, Okarankoko, Kurutie, and Oporoza. His so called "dreaded" Camp 5 was raized and taken over while he and his boys fled. With more bombing by the army under Yar'adua/GEJ, it was only a matter of time before he'd have been killed or captured. But, he surrendered 24hours before the amnesty deadline on October 2009. The surrender and repentance saved his life. Unfortunately, more than 300 people was killed and houses razed to ashes. It will amount to folly for Tompolo to repeat the event of 2009.
Www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5930U420091004

3. He Cannot Afford To Bring Death on Innocent Niger Deltans:
The action of Tompolo led to the death of over 300 majority Ijaws, and more than 3000 displaced in 2009. Whereas the dead are gone and the displaced are yet to recover, Tompolo grew into a billionaire(thanks to government's patronage). Any attack on security official by his boys will mean a declaration of war against the State, which will lead to loss of lives and properties of innocent people(like it was in 2009) and Tompolo will not escape it. The innocent won't continue to pay the price for what they have no hand in. We can also recall that the feeling of invincibility led to the death of both the innocent and the criminals in Odi, Bayelsa state in 1999.

4. Nobody is Invincible or Immortal:
As "weak" as Goodluck Jonathan was, he went after Okah and put him in prison. He also went after the "dreaded" General John Togo and sent him to his grave. How much more a determined President Muhammadu Buhari? He should also be aware that even the Great Isaac Adaka Boro that was fighting a legitimate struggle had to surrender to the FG after 12 days. How much more him that is being called to respond to criminal allegation. He should allow himself to be used as an experiment by the military.


It will be in the interest of Mr Tompolo to submit himself to court and avoid being arrested. If he's arrested, it will be very tough for him to obtain bail order. He shouldn't dare the State nor listen to the voices of sycophants and praise singers that are deifying him. Non of these sycophants' life is at stake. He is my brother as an Ijawman, and should yield to voice of reasoning.





May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria

But the federal government can afford to disobey court orders? Let him take his chances bro.But before let me also give you some reasons why the F.G should also thread carefully on this matter.1.they would be fighting wars on different front.with the menance of bokoharam not yet ennded, the F.G opens another war with some militants in the niger delta, what would be the implication on the Nigeria meeting its daily quota on crude production? What about the pipelines? How safe would the oil workers feel going to work in the various production platforms? What do u think would be the implication of this on the 2016 budget? Would the F.G be able to meet its projections and estimation?what do you think would be the effect of all this on the allocation to states?with some states barely surviving now after paying obligations to banks.2.with a war in the niger delta, what if IPOB capitalises on this to cause chaos in the south east? What is the implication of this on the nation as a whole? Would it not give boko haram the needed impetus to sustain its attacks with the army coordinating war in 3 fronts? How long would it take for people to get tired and start cimplaining?my guy, the way tompolo needs to thread carefully, the F.G needs to do same.tompolo cannot be accused of not obeying court orders when the government does not obey its own courts.

Adminisher:
This is an idiotic post. You destroyed everything good in it by mentioning GEJ. The BBOG ran into an angry General. The man was pissed off with two institutions today; the Press and the Senate . It did not concern the BBOG who also did their own annoying thing; demonstrate throughout Abuja and then paid an unexpected, impromptu visit to the President. The source of Buhari's anger was the noise about stealing if submitted budget.

The two sides have a lot to learn. Buhari has to remember that being President is the most annoying office on earth and yet you have to be contained. Even ghetto hood you are found earns you negative rewards from your people at yikes. The BBOG should be more circumspect in behaviour and stop playing your the gallery

is this the first time BBOG organisers are protesting all over abuja? Was the APC not fully involved in the protest in the last administration? Is it because PMB is now in power, u want them to stop the protest? Have the girls been found? On another note, are you looking for something to say or are you trying to do damage control for this administration?

TonyeBarcanista:
I hope those clownish IPOB Biafrans digest this, especially the emboldened. When we(Niger Deltans and Ijaws) tell them that we believe in Nigeria and not Biaafraa they abuse us. I'm sure they can comprehend Tompolo reiterating the Niger Delta position on Nigeria project unconditionally.

I noticed that these IPOB guys have been making inflamatory statement "on behalf of Tompolo" hoping that the government will invade and run Gbaramatu Kingdom, and then they(IPOB) will use the opportunity to shout Biafraaaa. Anyway, this scheme is Dead on Arrival.

As for Tompolo, he is an Ijawman, and should understand that the spirit of Ijaw nation is one based on justice. While I sympathise with him in his ongoing travail, I have to state that he has no choice but to obey court summon. For the good of everyone(including himself), he should submit to the authorities. If he does otherwise, the spirit of Ijaw won't back him and he'll be disgraced.

why u carry this ipob matter for head like this? U are beginning to sound like a broken record. Ur view is noted already

irunooboo:
Tompolo is finished. No wonder he is reported to be hiding in the creeks as he is no longer able to sleep in his home due to the looming consequences of his actions. Who are these guys really fighting for cos Niger delta indigenes who they claim to be fighting for are mostly poor and underdeveloped despite producing an accidental clueless president called GEJ for 6 years. Funniest thing is that the same oppressed and poverty stricken youths of Niger delta will instead invade this thread to defend these wicked thieves who contributed to their misery all in the name of "Na Our Oyel" as if a kobo of the oil money was spent on their miserable lives. I hope Buhari locks him up and throw away the keys like he did to that Biafraudster called Nnamdi Kanu

what are his actions?

PassingShot:
EFCC is busy with corruption cases that took place at federal level. Let each state prosecute their state's treasury looters. It's five months since Wike vowed to implement report of his panel on Amaechi, what is stopping him since?

Modified*
Too many mentions sef. So, without EFCC, Rivers state government cannot prosecute corruption allegations especially when the governor has a white paper it says indict Amaechi?

For all I care, Amaechi may have engaged in corrupt practices but what has stopped Wike's govt from initiating a prosecution in any court?

does rivers state government have its own law enforcement agency?

MoonChildng:
Hmmmm I wonder how some people get into goverment .

How can he be the one to refund was he giving the cash to organise it himself, this isn't Dasuki gate where people were given raw cash.

The way NADECO said if Abiola should die, Nigeria is finished and this is 16yrs after him. Infact some noise makers then became looters.

Buhari, Our National Interest and Court Orders
A step below President Buhari's present level of high-handedness only brings us back to the era of impunity that we voted Jonathan out for.
Nigerians are very forgetful of the past. Nigeria, under the watch of the Fmr President, could not successful keep terror suspects in custody because prosecutors failed to prepare a case. We had a system where court orders and injunctions stalled corruption cases and made a mockery of our fight to defeat corruption and insecurity across the country. This time, we have an executive that is willing to stretch its constitutional powers to keep Nigeria safe and recoup stolen fund, yet we're starting to paint the President as a dictator.

Kanu is a threat to our national security. In advanced societies, suspects are detained for issues as trivial as traffic offence to keep them in custody while a stronger case is put together, why must Nigeria be different? Societies with strong intelligence communities engage whatever means is takes to keep terrorists and extremists out of circulation, must ours be different? Indeed, there are global concerns with regards to ethical issues in national security and intelligence activities of nations; developing countries should not be singled out as if we are the only ones involved in such. Indeed, the primary responsibility of government is to ensure its people live neither in fear of terrorism, external aggression nor poverty and other factors that undermine their peace and safety while it also sustains the fundamental rights of its people. However, many advanced nations have passed through periods of national crisis when liberties were exchanged for greater security, the balance between both being restored after such crisis, and Nigeria is at that point right now.

Within the last 10-15 years, advanced nations have defied international charters against enhanced interrogation techniques, illegal rendition, detention without trial and all sort of measures all for the sake of national security. We have not resorted to this yet you're starting to paint us as bad. We have not rendered our terror suspects to Niger, as you did render yours to Egypt for torture, we have not built illegal detention facilities in Chad, as you've done in Cuba, Kanu has not accused our security agents of subjecting him to waterboarding as you've done to many of yours, so what is the fury about? We understand you did what was necessary for the safety of innocent people, just as President Buhari is doing the same. Nnamdi Kanu's illegal entrance into the country with equipment for the purpose of undermining our national security is enough to get us worried, and get a responsible President to act.

On the NIMASA ex-DG and Arms thieves, I doubt if there is any law in Nigeria or anywhere in the world that restrains the authorities from re-arresting a suspect on different charges after he/she has been granted bail on others. Hence, we do not have to blame the President for identifying measures within our laws to use against corrupt public office holders just to keep them from jumping bail. We had a soft-spoken, gentle-looking President whose lame duck attitude cost us $2.1 billion meant for the war on terror and drove us where we are today, but we have moved on. Now we have a stronger, more willing leader in President Buhari and the best we can do is support him to do whatever is right and just to keep us on the path of prosperity and security again.

As Nigerians we must understand that security is a collective task that requires the mutual cooperation of every citizen, and the understanding that our liberties will not be compromised as long as we remain law abiding and do not act in ways that endanger others, as Dasuki Sambo and his partners are alleged to have done to our soldiers and our countrymen up North. We need to understand that a man that literally sneaked into the country using unconventional methods can sneak out using same methods; that we lack the intelligence capability to keep tabs on all suspects, and just like in past cases, corrupt public office holders may escape justice by choosing not to return to Nigeria if they are allowed to pursue whatever medical excuses abroad and extradition is not as easy as it appears. We are protected as law-abiding citizens, and we have in President Buhari what we have always desired, a strong man with great political will to frustrate corrupt public office holders, a step below President Buhari's present level of high-handedness only brings us back to the era of impunity.

@ijigbami

your write up is lengthy and would have made a good academic discussion but your argument is not sound. Let me start with the Nnamdi kanu, it is the only the courts that can pronounce kanu guilty of the offence he is being charged with. Two courts have granted him bail and the executive is disobeying the order of the courts, and you think this is right? What happened to the rule of law? What happened to the right of the citizen as guaranteed in the Constitution of one being presumed innocent until he is convicted by the court. I do not want to go into the issue of kanu engaging in terrorist activities as only the courts would determine the guilt or innocence of kanu and this would based on the burden of proof which the prosecution has against him. If the prosecution has a good case against him whether he is granted bail or not would have no effect on the final outcome of the case. However disobedience to courts portends a grave danger to our democracy. As the gains and the independence of the judiciary in the last few would be greatly undermined. This could pose a great danger to our fledging democracy. On the dasuki issue, a number of issues are not within the public domain for us to pass a judgement. But on the dokpesi, the prosecution has no case. It would fail in court. Let's look at the facts in issue. Was dokpesi given a contract, the answer is yes. Did he execute the contract, the answer is yes. If perhaps he didn't execute a case of fraudulent conversion/stealing by conversion, obtaining by false pretenses could have been established against dokpesi. But in this case he executed it. Is it dokpesi 's duty to verify the account which government would use in paying him? The answer to that is no, as he is not a staff of government. Is it dokpesi' s duty to check if the job given to him passes through the procurement process? No, as he is not a staff of government. Those charges are defective. On the overall it is the burden evidence which the prosecution has against the accused that would determine their guilt or innocence. No one can perform magic with the facts of a case. The rule of law should be allowed to prevail

Have the chibok girls been found? No oby, you cannot quit half way into a journey.the chibok girls are yet to be found

modath:
Stop being mischievous, he knows what he did wrong, was the reason he was making preemptive apologies & trying to get into the govt's good graces..

Dokpesi worked for PDP but hot paid by the NSA, that is a CRIME. If he had been paid even 20b naira by the PDP PCO, who is tasked with such responsibility, the case would have been DOA..

Is the NSA an executive of the PDP

Linda Ikeji has no problem unless the fees came from NSA & it's really hush money for blackmail as it is being alleged, then she too will get served..

did dokpesi pay himself? Is he a staff of government? Is it his duty to check the account that was used in paying him? Do u still think he has done something wrong?

God punish this adesina.is the president supposed to draw is statutory entitlement from the office of the nsa? He will collect from the army then collect from nsa abi? Let them charge him alongside dasuki too, for collecting funds meant for purchase of arms.

Nnannapat:
Bros,All these your ill thought defence is not helping matters.

The question you should ask yourself is this; Can you fix pipeline for NNPC and expect payment to come from Nigeria Customs?

For admiting that he received money from the ONSA, thereby collaborating the intels, Dokpesi should be charged for consipiracy to treason. These are the bad guys that kept us down since independence.

I share your sentiments that those who have looted the nations treasury to the detriment of the larger population should be punished. But punishment is meted not based on sentiments but on the propederance of proof against the person.let me start by asking u a question.in the case òf dokpesi, he has a business agreement with office the office of nsa or PDP/or GEJ campaign group, we are not sure wish.and he performed this task as stated in the contract.he now got payment for the contract.did dokpesi pay himself for the job that was done? Did he prepare the mandate which was used in paying him?is he a staff of government/or the agency that paid him? Is it his duty to check the account that would be used in paying him after executing a job? What offence do u now think he can be charged with?
