Who leaks internal memos to journalists? That is also a problem.

It is good to see ministers being queried for poor performance.

This is setting a very bad precedence when internal memos between the Presidency and the executive find their way to news papers and blogs and nobody is sanctioned. People are hailing them because right now it is what they want to hear but time will come when the buyers of the information will be people who have very sinister plans and by then it will be too late.

Actually it is normal. There is something called the nasal cycle but it is usually so efficient you don't notice it. It is only when there is some degree of obstruction it becomes noticeable. Would you believe the nose produces about a litre of mucous every day? It is usually swept into the throat and swallowed u noticed to the average person. It is only when there is a problem and the rate of production increases people start noticing something trickling down their throats. God produced the most sophisticated machine and till date science has not been able to replicate 10% of God's glorious works.

Please someone should tell these sources to keep their stories consistent.In the original al story Diezani had the the $600,000 watch while Mrs Omokres watch was £1.4 million. They two watches had their price tags on them at the time of the seizure. Please can the source tell us the make and models of the watches so people like me that notice some nmall details don't keep getting confused.

Points from this article
1. EFCC does not have according to them incontrovertible evidence as to the ownership of the properties.
2. UAE does not know who owns the properties but is putting pressure on some people to tell them the real owner.
3. The source as usual is a senior EFCC insider, who does not wish to be named, so if the story is found to be false EFCC will quickly deny it.

My brother na so. GEJ and his gang of 40 middle eastern thieves. They'll be shouting that Yorubaland offers nothing, while stopping Yorubaland from exploring its resources.

I believe bitumen is a kind of crude oil, going down this route could be environmentally damaging. I'll admit that my knowledge is quite limited in this area. I hope others can help with clearification.

I guess bitumen was just found when GEJ became president, thee was no knowledge of bitumen deposits prior to GEJ. Or is it that pervious governments allowed bitumen exploration by on do state and GEJ stopped it. I guess On do state was like little New Yor until GEJ and his band of 40 eastern thieves came and killed the state. SMH

I am confused Maurice Iwu was removed April 2010, Deizani became Oil minister April 2010. The two elections when Deizani was minister were April2011 and 2015. So if she gave anybody money it has to be Jega.

My question is what will Kaduna state do for any doctor or hospital harassed by police for treating accident victims or gunshot wounds without police report. If the police did not harass the medical people more would be willing to help. Its easy for people to blame doctors for being heartless but the same people will castigate the doctor when police parade him on TV as an accomplice to armed robbersjust because he did that. The same people will make statements like no smoke without fire when the doctors life is being messed up.

[quote author=Rossikk post=45085644]You are talking absolute rubbish. You have been to every luxury watch retailer on earth abi? Supporter of looters.
[/quote

I don't have to go to every luxury store to know how they operate. I actually have a sister who worked with Nigerias leading watch seller Polo for several years and while traveling with her I got the opportunity to enter some of these shops. I know baloney when I see it. They told you an MRI cost 2.8 billion naira, even at current black market rates that is over 8 million dollars. Even a state of the art MRI doesn't cost $5 million dollars. At least that is my feild. I would take all these "sources" seriously if they would stop saying ridiculous things and throwing out ridiculous figures. Call me a supporter of looters, kudu a call me a looter at least I am sure nobody can call me gullible.

The funniest part was that when they seized the watches the price tags were there Obviously written by someone who has never bought a luxury watch or shoe or jewelry in his life time, or even entered a luxury shop in his lifetime. They do not put price tags on even $1000 dollar watches when you buy them. The only place you see the price is the receipt. Even when they display such expensive watches they don't put a price, the sales person tells you when you ask.

why didn't you add militancy and kidnapping when listing crimes initially.

Militancy is not a crime, check what it means. As for kidnapping,;Yes the militants kidnapped a lot of foreigners and locals , I will be lying if I denied that. But if you call someone a kidnapper, nobody's mind goes immediately to the Ijaws, actually now the herdsmen are competing in that respect, gbomogbomo is not an Ijaw word and I believe it refers to kidnappers.
There are lazy men and women from all tribes, thieves, kidnappers, prostitutes, drug pushers whatever the vice every tribe is well represented. At the same time there is no tribe without highly educated, cerebral people.
So insult the Ijaws and any other tribe that catches your fancy all you want, I guess it makes you feel superior.

I am from the south south and while we are not known for anything apart from drinking ogogoro and being lazy according to the Op at least we are not the first tribe that comes to mind for drug pushing, yahoo yahoo, ritual murders, beggers, armed robbery and a whole lot of ills. We also have so many families where a BSc or BA is the least qualification. There is no field of practice in this country where you do not have South Southerners Medicine, law, engineering, literature, beauty pageantry sef we are represented. Population and size wise we are small but unfortunately the intellectuals have left politics and therefore rulership to those whose interest is their personal pockets and so we have not made progress as we should.

It may be harmless or it may be a serious condition like an aneurysm or a tumour. Go see a doctor in a good hospital who will examine you and may do some investigations like an abdominal ultrasound. Don't keep going to chemist or quack hospitals till its too late.

did you read "He was said to have acquired the property in December 12, 1996 through his company, Skyview Properties Limited from First Finance trust Limited" ?

The other additional charge is that Saraki failed to declare to the Code of Conduct Bureau on assumption of office as Governor of Kwara State in 2003, his leasehold interest leasehold in the property at 42, Remi Fani Kayode Street, Ikeja, Lagos.

That he aquired a leasehold does not make him the owner of the property. As a civil servant in Lagos State I declared my properties with CCB and we were asked for properties we owned, not leased or rented.

What I found interesting is that the second new charge is about not declaring a leasehold! Maybe next people will be asked to declare rental property.

Do you declare a leasehold as your property? If I lease a property it is not mine to declare, same as if I rent a property. So putting that he didn't declare a leasehold without the number of years the lease is for is making the whole thing look more like a desperate attempt to nail him at all costs.

How do you ban the importation of 41 items when forex is so high that importers of luxury goods and even essential items for the manufacturing sector cannot import their goods and still expect not just to make the same amount but to increase your revenue. Customs should have expected this short fall any thing else would be self delusion.

The house job or internship done by doctors is one year of extreme boy boy work. For most doctors its the hardest year. It has structure in that it can only be done in accredited hospitals with consultants in 4 departments. Presently there are not enough space s and we have doctors doing house job as supernumerary , not being paid for the whole year. Some cannot do it for 2 or 3 years after graduation and so cannot get full registration and cannot go for NYSC or get a proper job. Everybody sees so called the big salary and thinks the situation is great. Meanwhile the doctors would happily not do the year it's just that it is compulsory.So when such conditions affect others I hope they won't blame doctors.

All I can say is thank you to Wike for Rumuagholu road axis it has been a nightmare for almost 6 years. My question is what roads do local governments do because all focus seems to be on the state government.

Fayose pricing an ice fish at the market.

Why Fayoses own is news is he did and still does all those things as a governor not just before elections. Hate him or like him he is consistent.

Amongst those guys are people who were picked up on their way from work and had nobody to bail them next thing they saw themselves in Kirikiri awairing trial for armed robbery. People who were lucky to escape have horrible tales to tell. Just pray never to be caught in a hungry police man's trap.

I don't blame anybody who calls this a witch hunt. The man left government 2011, CCB didn't have any problem with him until after the drama during the 2015 election. The case went to court in October 2015 and the CCB had no witnesses then and asked for adjournment then in March 2016 they drop some charges because they don't have enough evidence and bring a letter dated February 2016 as evidence which means that at the time they filed the case they had no evidence and have been digging around since then to get something. They say the C of O was signed in May 2011 less than a month before he left office, people will pretend they don't know that from the time a document is signed and when it gets to the owner may take months in the Nigerian civil service. It's so obvious that they have been given orders to nail this guy at all cost. Anyway it's turn by turn, today it's Orubebe tommorow it may just be my turn or yours.

Another round of strikes, I think the best thing I did was to resign from government employment and go private. This way when I work I get paid.

It's more likely a hydrocoele at this age. Look for a hospital with a paediatric surgeon to assess him properly.

Abeg can I get a copy of the road maps that are to be implemented. because I kept seeing We will, road map. fast track , implement repeated over and over again.

A study was done concerning women and so many guys come out and say the women are lying. I guess they know what the women think better than women do themselves.

The IJIC (International Consortium of Investigative Journalist) website is there with details of the Panama papers and the company Mossack Fonseca for the world to see. The only Nigerian name on the website is James Ibori. There is nothing secret about it actually if you want to follow the investigation all you need to do is register and you are given access. How come it is only when it concerns Nigeria it becomes a top secret . Messi, Ian Cameron, the Iceland President and the Fifa officials names can all be found on the website, the only hidden names are the Nigerians. If I say I am not suspicious I lie.

For now it is Premium times Panama papers because the IJIC website only mentioned James Ibori from Nigeria. the only source that mentioned Saraki and David Mark is Premium times. Let it not be like Deizanis house in Vienna.

I don't agree with the statement that during the 5 years of Jonathan no attempts were made to look into the refineries. Attempts were made to get the original builders to come in when this failed local engineers were given the job of refurbishing the refineries. That was why they gave a date of 2016 to complete their job. People also forget that Dangote along with several others were given licences to build refineries or do you think he was given the licence in 2015. Or do we think refineries take 2 years to build from conceptikn to finish. Attempts were made to sell off the refineries by Obasanjo and this was reversed by Yaradua. Dangot even bought one.

I have read the 13 counts against Saraki before the CCB they are all in respect of particular properties said to have been falsely declared, if these are the types of witnesses they have he will get off scott free. The judge cannot give what was not asked, so he cannot be jailed for criminal enrichment in a case of failure to declare. its like a man being charged for arson and the witness gives evidence of a robbery in another place, the judge cannot find him guilty because that is not the charge before him.

I thought the case was for false declaration of assets, where are the witnesses for that? If these are the type of witnesses we are expecting he may win the case and instead of people to blame EFCC for presenting a shoddy case people will start insulting the judiciary. You cannot bring someone to court for arson and present evidence for armed robbery , he will get off Scot free. If they want to charge him for criminal enrichment they know what to do, all this is playing to the gallery.

David Mark and Preye Mark divorced in 2000, 7 years before he became senate president. So it is mischievous to bring up an account she closed in 1991in this matter. They know that most people reading this will just see David Mark , Swiss account and start foaming at the gills.

I have been to the IJIC website and no where is the name Saraki mentioned the only Nigerian I see is James Ibori. So until they confirm I take this article with a pinch of salt.
