This is not discipline, this is rubbish. Caan you tell me what this contributes to their training?

What it contributes, you say? How about we start with the ability to withstand tormenting interrogation if captured by enemy forces.

whirlwind7:
Ok, so the army whips its boys as a part of what?
Punishment or training?

Little wonder they behave like wild animals when they have poor civilians at their mercy.

Stop complaining! That's why the army isn't for everybody. We want pure breed competent soldiers!

Over £400bn worth of Nigerian money is being stashed away in Europe, Asia and America, says a group, Africa Secretariat.

Currently, President Muhammadu Buhari is seeking the assistance of the United States and European countries to recover looted Nigerian funds kept in foreign banks.

Coordinator of the United Kingdom-based group, Mr. Ben Oguntala, told SUNDAY PUNCH on Friday that his group had suggested ways of recovering the looted funds to President Buhari.

He said, “The image President Buhari is projecting is his promise to fight corruption. He cannot do this alone and it is for this reason that we have sent the President our proposal for addressing corruption.

“There is over £400bn worth of Nigerian money being fraudulently held in Europe, Asia and America. When we met with the President on his visit to London (earlier this year), he asked us to find out how Nigerians in the Diaspora can contribute to the development of Nigeria and we see fighting corruption as a cornerstone of that change that Nigeria is leading across Africa.

“The perpetrators thought they got away from the Nigerian law but now, finally, the law can be extended to bring them to account.”

According to Oguntala, an anti-corruption agency which will be established in Britain has been suggested to Buhari.

“The Nigerian Corruption Amnesty Commission proposal has been suggested and submitted to the President. It will be headed by one of the most talented lawyers in criminal law in the world. The commission will be answerable directly to the President and will be held in the UK, using the UK and European Union laws to target perpetrators who thought they were out of the Nigerian legal jurisdiction,” he said.

The proposed commission, Oguntala noted, would invoke the powers of UK’s Bribery and Corruption Act of 2010 and its EU and US equivalent, in collaboration with the Serious Fraud Office and the Metropolitan Police and international fraud agencies that already have names of those that defrauded Nigeria on their radar.

The NCAC will also allow Nigerians in the Diaspora and their country to give evidence to the commission.

Oguntala added, “Using social media and the Internet, witnesses will be able to give evidence from any location across the world, providing evidence of corruption they know. The commission will also give a window for perpetrators to confess and return their loots or face the book being thrown at them.

“As part of the confession they give, the commission will demand details of how they carried out the corruption and the information will be used to plug the loophole in the commensurate sources in Nigeria to ensure we prevent such graft from happening again.”

We don't need another "Nigerian Corruption Amnesty Commission" to be created by Buhari to repatriate looted funds abroad. This will just be another avenue to perpetuate an already overbloated government expenditure and further create an avenue to expand corruption. ICPC or EFCC can open liaison offices in countries of interest, simple. We don't need further duplicity of government agencies that results in nothing but wasteful spending. We are not fools .

Nonsense

In addition to what I stated earlier, for all those ladies probing for valid telltale signs of a potential rap¡st, here's another: they talk like this fellow quoted! So watch out for and listen to not just what a man communicates, but far more importantly, HOW HE COMMUNICATES, to have a somewhat accurate preview of the kind of mentality he has. Rapë is a mental thing and rap¡sts are mentally sick. A man's mentality (how he thinks) is a good indicator of his state of being. And often times, from their mode of communication, it's possible to filter them (rap¡sts) out in the crowd. But unfortunately, some girls are just too stup¡d and naive at the same time. This is a dangerous combination. Don't be naive and stup¡d at the same time. The consequences are terribly unpleasant.

Goldmaxx:
biiiiitchh

I'm not in the mood for senseless vituperations. But in any case...strike one!

Goldmaxx:
still offpoint,its just like a gal biting my dick during bj.I will just kill u dat sef

Your d¡ck is not as vulnerable as your balls, go figure. They are anatomically different completely.

Lilyomi:
I dnt duspute dat fact my dear. But u wl bear wif me lately dat da victims of rape esp those who claim wer raped by rich mrn or celebrities dress in a way dat u wonder in ur mind if they wanted it.

Even if a woman decides to go out nakëd in public, it still doesn't justify rapë. It might justify her arrest by the police who are constitutionally empowered to enforce the laws, since being nakëd in public is a crime in the law (misdemeanor category). This is what civilization is about! People who can't live in a civilized manner should relocate to the jungle or we will incarcerate you for your barbarism for a long time.

Goldmaxx:
so if she is holding my balls i will still look for d keys while she's still grasping it and i wont look 4 sumtin and break her head ur assertions are totally incorrect.And i won't advice any lady to grab a man's balls cos he might kill u there.
Note:am not supporting rape so ladies should mind d kind of men they visit and associate with.

If you have ever had your balls squeezed hard to near breaking point, then you would know the only thing you will be reaching out to break your assaulter's head with is loud cries for mercy! You will surrender your brazen masculinity and tap out like a whimp. It is the greatest weak point to disarm any man; irrespective of size and strength and stamina, the balls remain a 100% vulnerable point. A firsthand experience will convince you. Or alternatively, in the interim, you can try squeezing your balls so tightly as if to damage it and see what information your brain communicates to your body. God never creates anything without vital weakness(es) put in it, should in case it goes rogue. Man is genetically superior to the woman in terms of certain physical attributes, but then having balls balances the equation and affords the woman the opportunity of a level playing field in situations like this.

Lilyomi:
I love this write up especially da decent dressing. Whether we like it or not, men are moved by wat they see. Unfortunately, dressing almost naked attracts mostly boys. Men are attracted to women of class. A working woman who is decently dressed.

Do you have any idea how many decently dressed women have been raped? Even women, in extremely culturally strict societies, who wear full-cover veiling clothing have been raped sometimes. Rapë isn't about what a woman wears or doesn't wear. Rapë is about shameless men who are mentally sïck and have no self control! Stop deceiving yourself with the dressing issue - it's not the underlying cause of rapë.

Just because a girl comes to your place in revealing clothing doesn't automatically mean or ratify that she wants to be rapëd. She might want to have sex though. Every man needs to understand that there's a tiny BIG difference between SEX and RAP.E; and the difference is "consent". If you play your cards well: make her laugh, get her excited, work out her passions...etc, then you will likely get consented sex. No girl wants to be raped, not even a prostitute! Scientifically speaking, humans are referred to as "Higher Animals" because we are considered, known and proven to be the most intelligent (both in actuality and potential capability) creatures verified scientifically to exist. Consented sex is one of the ways we prove our salt to ourselves and the rest of the subspecies of creatures that we are indeed creatures of superior intelligence! This means you have no human dignity if you commit rapë.

misspicy:
Yes all guys are guilty until you guys tell us how to identify a rapist...

There's no fine divide to it and there are too many gray areas. But if I were a girl, I would never for whatever reason put myself in a situation where i'm alone unprotected (as in without a concealed carry) in a lonely secluded place with a man (i'm not dating / don't ever want to date ) who was angry / disappointed / begged me to "come alone" next time, after I showed up with other people the first time he invited me over to his place.


Other possible signs to look out for are:
locked and/or shrouded windows,
loud music / deafening chaotic sounds that drowns your voice from being distinctively heard in the outside environment,
secluded environment,
door is locked and the key (or swipe card) is removed from the locks / no where visible / unreachable,
you're both alone / there's a company of his male "friends"
He's been persistently hitting on you before but you've been turning him down
He's too happy (tensed up, excited, too agreeable) you're around
He can't keep his hands to himself...and so on


When these sort of signs begin to add up, then you are likely with a potential rapïst who would definitely rapë you if the opportunity presented itself!

BabyDaddy20:
B√tch, shut the fucck up.
What are you tryna say ??
All men are rapist ??
How many girls did your father rape ??
I was locked in a room & raped for four days by 3 girls, what about that (?

I thoroughly searched through her sentences to find where she at least made an allusion that "all men being rapists" and...I couldn't find any. Then i thoroughly read through your sentences too to check if peradventure there's any sense in it...and I couldn't find any. Stop making it too obvious that you're just probably another chronic id¡ot who has no iota of dignity. And you blatantly claim to have been rapëd by how many, 3 or 4 women for 3 days or so? Well, congratulations - NOBODY CARES . Now, do us all a favor and stop asking stupïd questions... Because intelligent eyes like mine find it very repulsive.

Seun Osewa your censored auto-correct feature is really starting to annoy me . Some words like "stup¡d", "rapë"...etc shouldn't be on that list. Such overzealousness is superfluous and insensible . So, review it.

Dear Nigerian boys,


The easiest way to have the woman of your dreams is to become the man of her dreams.

SAY NO TO RAP.E!!!

classicB:
Where do I even start from Is it from numerous cases of rape that get turned against the woman??

I remembered back then as a novice in 100L visiting male friends didn't occur to me as a big deal. I can vividly recall 3 cases of 'escaped' rape.

The first guy was touching me awkwardly and I did resist him, though he later told me he could have had his way.

The.second case looks like it too but the third guy already held me tight against his bed thank God he heeded to my pleading and allowed me go.

What if one of these 3 guys turned out to rape me? I'd have been a victim of rape, and worse of it would be that nobody will believe it to be true, especially the guys, they'd probably say things like "she seduced him" "she initiated the sex" "she brought condom along" "no evidence since nobody was there "

I put it to you guys that an average Nigerian girl have been a victim of rape/escaped being raped simply because she went out innocently to pay a visit to her supposed 'trusted' guy friend.

This doesn't make sense no more, if we can't trust our Nigerian brothers then who can we trust?

This same guys come here to complain about girls coming to visit them with loads of friends, why won't we come with loads of friends when we know there's a condom waiting to be used on.us

I have personally stopped visiting guys since 3/4 years back, it's either you agree to meet me in my parents house when everyone is home or you meet me in an eatery

I read it here sometimes back when some guys were making gest of a girl that claimed her male friend tried to have his way during a.visit I dint believe my eyes when I was seeing comments like "did you expect prayer session with him?" "you think he wants to preach abi?" "you think you went there to play games?" so these guys now see it as norm to rape an innocent female visitors?? One way or the other they just look for excuse for raping a girl only to turn it against her.

I don't know what it feels like to be raped but I do know what it feels like to be 'near rape' it's nothing good, it drains you emotionally and psychologicaly. Most of these raped victim get scared of telling close relations because they are using all their energy to get back what is lost, i told nobody about what I experienced either.

Idk what else to say, but i know prevention is better than cure. I pray God deliver us from these animals disguised in human clothing

This kinda thread needs to be on fp
Mods should do the needful

A would-be rap¡st tends to be aggressive as he wants to rapë his victim. If a girl finds herself in a situation where you're in his home, inside a room that's probably been locked at this point, where's there's a vague chance your screaming will ever be heard, other escape attempts look bleak because he can overpower you during a scuffle maybe, then stay calm and don't struggle. A rapist gets forceful as he wants to rapë because he thinks his victim will put up some resistance. So, you calm him down by playing along. Just tell him, calm down, no need for this aggression, i'll have sex with you...etc, that is tell him something reassuring. It will likely make him a bit calmer, tone down his aggression, and then (most importantly) gives you a rare and vital chance to take control of the situation. Tell him you enjoy a bit of romance before sex, or whatever...but the goal is to get him nakëd with his "balls" exposed - this is your target. No matter how strong a man is, those two "balls" are a devastating weakness. Now, this is no joke, if you get it wrong, you will be rapëd for sure; but if you're adept mentally, bold and street smart, getting the idea and flow pattern correctly, then you'll come out unscathed. Anyway, at this point, before you maybe get half nakëd, make sure he's nakëd and his balls are completely exposed - no clothing to shield or lessen the imminent assault. Remember, this will all be happening real quick so your mind has to be focused to get it done right. He's a bit relaxed at this point thinking you have "consented" to sex. Keep your eyes on his eyes (watch his mood that is). Then grab his balls (not d¡ck). Yes, you heard me, grab his balls (preferably the two, but even one is sufficient), squeeze it without pity and I mean this. This is no time to have a stup¡d conscience. Press it like your life depends on it and you want it to break. He will scream, he will shout, he will struggle and might even want to put up a fight...but he'll eventually BEG (and possibly with tears) if you hold on tight long enough, pressing the hell out of his balls and don't let go no matter what. Don't let him go still. While still pressing on it, tell him to open the door; you might release the tension a little bit but don't stop pressing and keep the pressure hard enough to retain control of the situation. If you lose control at this point and his balls haven't been "damaged" enough to shutdown his body with chronic pains, then you're in deep sh¡T if the door's still locked and you don't even know where the key is or it's unreachable. He might want to test you while trying to reach for the keys, increase the pressure again to near balls-breaking point. He'll beg, shout, scream, yell, curse but...eventually, he'll obey you like a little b¡tch. Then you'll walk out of there like a boss - don't forget to pick your clothes. Have him pick them up, not you. Keep your eyes on him throughout, not on his balls (unless you can look at both simultaneously), just in case he tries to hit you with something like his KO fists or a dangerous object. If he tries to, as in you notice any awkward movement of his hands in your direction, squeeze the hell out of his balls, his brain will shutdown his attack and command every sense of his body to comply and beg for his life - yes, a man's life is closer to his balls, and most people aren't aware until they have this kind of experience.

If you have been squeezing his balls as hard as you should, by the time you release it, he'll be thanking you profusely and be nursing his pains (and wounds if the balls so happens to have further nearly divided into two). He will never be able to attack as you're leaving, he might be cussing you like crazy though - who cares!!! But he'll certainly have respect for you and even give you a prestigious title of The Craziest B¡tch I ever met. He'll definitely never want to fück with you again, and don't be sooo stupïd to ever be connected to him ever again. And as you're walking out of there, you might want to yell, this Mofo (his name) tried to rapë me but I showed him hell. Tell people, don't keep silent about it, put a rapist stigma on his head; that's one of the surest ways to further disarm such lowlife no-good bastärds who should have a bullet hole put through their heads

Though am not a front page contender,but please this is for public awareness. Its a disclaimer against Barr. Francis who claimed and posted on this page that he graduated with First Class in Law, University of Ilorin, now alleging of bringing Sahara Reporter down.
Am convinced he neither studied Law nor graduated with First Class in Unilorin. Which year did he graduate with first class? Reports shows that only one person graduated with 1st class from Law, Unilorin, and that person was Kazeem Ilias Abiodun, in 2013. He was my class mate, coz i also graduated from Law also,but with Second Class Lower Division. In fact,i went to Law school, Lagos Campus together with Kazeem Abiodun Ilias. That so called Barr. Francis lies; he may not even be in Sydney, Australia as he claimed.

Its very disheartening how some people can go to any length to lie and twist whatever they hear from any source.

Not long ago, some group of people claiming that for COAS Alex Badeh said that Nigeria Army lack equipment, when in the real sense he was giving an account of about 30 year of active service in Nigeria Army.

Also this same people twist The former Security Adviser Sambo Dansuki statement that all Equipment contracted out are still to be deleievred.

Well to set the record staright.

Here is the account of Dansuki speech: http://www.ionigeria.com/how-jonathan-acquired-sophisticated-weapons-for-the-military-to-fight-terrorism-dasuki/

Dansuki not only state that because of the exigency of the election (to be peaceful) great number of these equipment are Airlifted into the field of war in the North East while the remaining large quantity are awaiting Shipment.


The result of this Airlifted Equipments and Armoured Tank become the game changer during this war before the General Election, hence the new tune then "NEVER AGAIN" .

Well Nigerians, truth can only be twisted, but cannot be denied it will surely prevail.

Have a blessed day.

Is this an attempt to justify the humongous sums running into billions of dollars that the GEJ administration recklessly spent to fight Boko Haram OMG !!! I've seen enough absurdity for one day. I'm logging out...

IYANGBALI:
Onyebuchi writes: NIGERIA'S FUEL CRISIS - WHY I BLAME GEJ

In discussing this very volatile issue, let me make one point very clear. I speak from a very informed perspective. This is not just one of those social commentaries.
I worked in the downstream petroleum sector for about 36 months as legal counsel and this was at the peak of the subsidy crisis. I handled and prepared critical documents, advised on transactions and participated in the subsidy scheme as a staff of the one of biggest indigenous players in the sector. I have a perfect understanding of the system from the point where these products are negotiated and bought from refineries abroad to the contract for their shipping....from arrival at the Port in Nigeria to the inspections and the final destination at designated tank farms, so I speak with authority. When the subsidy probe started, I also made several submissions to the National Assembly Committees and also was at the EFCC during the investigations.
Weak and reactive leadership is a disaster to any organization that has it. The hallmark of great leadership is the ability to identify risks and institute effective risk management systems. No organization in this world can survive uncontrolled hemorrhage of scarce resources.
The subsidy scheme became an issue under President Obansanjo. It was under him that the concept of petroleum importation became full blown. For reasons best known to the wily Owu Chief, our four refineries were left to rot while our country relied on fuel importation. That policy remained the biggest disservice former President Obasanjo did to this country.
However, as bad as that policy was under OBJ, there was still some level of sanity and control. At no time under OBJ did subsidy payments exceed 190 billion Naira annually. There were stringent measures that controlled the participation of companies under the subsidy scheme. 
Just before OBJ left office, he sold two of our refineries to Dangote and Otedola, a measure that would have worked if fully implemented. It is beyond doubt that the private sector remains the best economic and commercial managers. Government is a cesspool of waste and corruption.
When late President Yar'adua took over, he rode on a staccato of uninformed voices to reverse the sale of the refineries. He reversed the sale but did nothing to bring the refineries back to work. He continued to run the subsidy scheme and kept the restive sanity in the system. As at the time Yar'adua died, Nigeria's subsidy burden was about 230 billion Naira per annum.
Now for the uninformed, the petroleum subsidy scheme is a system where the federal government, on a bid to reduce the cost of fuel paid by Nigerians chooses to pay the difference between the landing cost of petrol imports, the prevailing price of the commodity at the international market and what is actually sold in Nigeria.
For instance, if the landing cost of petrol in Nigeria is, say, N 115, and after adding lightering charges and other logistics costs, the price of petrol should be N147, the federal government asks the marketers to sell at N97 and decides to pay the marketers the difference per litre.
Now enter President Goodluck Ebelechukwu Azikiwe Mainasara Jehoshaphat Effiong Jonathan!
Under him, subsidy costs jumped from 200 billion Naira to over 1.2 trillion in the first two years of his government.
Why? What happened?
Did the population of Nigerian triple within that period or did the number of cars quadruple? Was there an industrial revolution? 
The answer is simple. Again, I speak from an informed position.
Due to weak regulatory regimes, the downstream sector became an all comers affair. Every Tom, Dick and Harry entered the business. Companies with no verifiable addresses, no tank farms, no vessels, no financial structures, no bank guarantees all became fuel importers. It was a bazaar. It is only in Nigeria that such bizzare things can happen. Emergency millionaires were made in days. Time and space won't allow me to give you details of the unbelievable things that happened. Every top official of the federal government became an emergency fuel importer or middle man. Importation licenses were hawked openly. All you needed was for the PPPRA to give you a license to import. You could sell it for millions just outside the door.
Now there is a complex web that links the Petroleum Ministry, the DPR, thE Navy, the NPA, NIMASA,PPPRA, DMO, CBN and Commercial Banks in this fraud. Documents like the sovereign debt statements and the sovereign debt notes flew about and our money kept disappearing. From about 30 companies in the scheme, the number shot up to 300. Monthly, billions of Naira were paid out to people who have never had any contact with a Jerry can of fuel in their lives. No verification, no authentication, nothing. Money was being paid with reckless abandon. Dr Okonjo Iweala and Mrs Alison Madueke were all there watching!
It got so bad that some people will arrange with ship owners......take a two day hire of an empty ship, move it to Lagos Port, berth it there. Officials of the PPPRA, Petroleum Ministry, DPR will come there to inspect an empty vessel and certify that the empty vessel carried 10,000 metric tons of petrol, collect their money and walk away. The vessel simply sails away and three weeks later, close to 6 billion Naira will be paid as subsidy when not even a single drop of petrol was brought in.
It was when the government saw that it could no longer sustain that level of waste that GEJ made that attempt at removing subsidy which was stoutly and rightly rejected by Nigerians. 
If you recall, the call for the probe of the Subsidy fraud didn't even come from the Presidency. GEJ never called for any probe. Neither did Alison Madueke nor Okonjo Iweala. The call for probe was triggered off by the submissions of Senator Bukola Saraki on the floor of the Senate when he took time to tell the sad story of the biggest fraud in modern Nigeria called FUEL SUBSIDY.
Nigerians should ask GEJ to tell us how our subsidy burden jumped from 200 billion to 1.4 trillion in two years. 
Between 2008 and 2013, the PPPRA was about the most corrupt government office in Nigeria. People who worked there lived like Emperors. They spent dollars like there was no tomorrow. Only the privileged found their way there. Each time I went to their office in Abuja then, I left with a heavy heart. This country is in serious trouble.
The only time sanity came to that sector was when GEJ brought Reginald Stanley, former Group General Manager of PPMC who also headed the London Branch of the NNPC into the picture. Reginald Stanley cleaned up the PPPRA, redeployed close to 80% of the workers and rejigged the subsidy program. It was then discovered that more than 60% of the funds paid as subsidy in the last three years were paid wrongly and fraudulently.
That was when the subsidy probe started. Out of the over 300 companies that were collecting subsidy, it was found that not up,to 30 were really importing fuel. Close to 700 billion Naira were stolen in the subsidy scheme. Till date, not a single person has been convicted.
Again, throughout the five years that GEJ ran this country, not one single attempt was made to even find out what is the problem with our refineries. 
And yet, people say I shouldn't blame GEJ!
Who should I blame?
My father.....in his grave?

Katastrofy:
THE Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC has demanded for a review of the present minimum wage paid to workers in accordance with the economic realities.

The Comrade Ayuba Wabba-led faction of NLC yesterday in Abuja after its National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting also said that an increment of workers salary would help to reduce corruption in the polity.

He said that it was unacceptable for Nigerians including the labour force to live in abject poverty while few privileged people continue to steal the nation’s resources and starch it in foreign banks.

Comrade Wabba who assured that the labour movement would lead the protest to ensure that the federal government recovered the looted funds said that NLC would organise a symbolic national one day protest to ensure that such funds in the hands of individuals were recovered.

He explained that the NEC would demand from government and the tripartite partners for the review of the minimum wage.

He also noted that the pitiable state of the nation’s economy has become of great concern to the labour union as it has affected the working class and had led to many states not being able to pay salaries as at when due.

While appreciating the efforts of the Council of States for approving the bailout for states that had been unable to pay salaries to workers, he said that NLC was disturbed that despite the federal government gesture, the effect of the bailout was yet to be seen.

According to him, while in some states relative progress had been made, few states had remained chronic, adding that the Central Working Committee, CWC of the union was of the view that payment of salary should be a matter of national priority and that the NEC would not fold arms watching workers not to be paid as at when due.

For the states that had received the bailouts, Wabba called on the Federal Government to also put in place mechanism to monitor how the funds were utilised and also frowned at the development where some banks withheld the bailout fund as a result of the indebtedness of some the states to the banks.

NLC condemned the waiver granted to some establishments in the country which had denied the country money while workers were subjected to pay taxes, and said that nobody should be allowed to evade taxes in any form.

He urged the judiciary to hasten the trials of those indicted for looting the nation’s treasury and other allegation of treasury and also told the anti-corruption agency to always device a process to promptly responding to allegations of corruption.

The man is a very big fool. No side chick not even one that fell from heaven can say any negative tin abt my wife and see again in ur life time.

I hope d wife sort out things with her husband and do d needful (improve her dressing and cooking -Wat d sidecick pointed out)

See mindddddddd, anyway d man gave her d mind sha

You don't get it, she's already turned the tables around and the man's wife is the side chick! Haven't you heard of men who sent their wives packing and replaced with whom the wife assumed was the "side chick". Just because a man is married to a woman doesn't mean she will automatically always be the "main chick". If a main chick doesn't keep her game strong, then she can become a side chick. Do you know how many wives in Nigeria have (for one reason or another) become side chicks? The population is considerable I tell you. The sad part is most of them are just too stupïd to even know what's going on under their own nose until it's too late. Just look at this one, if the trespasser wasn't "kind" enough to have introduced herself to her, she would be held up in denial and probably swear heaven and earth that she got it all together tight with her husband...until the day he suddenly serves her quit notice and they we hear the usual rants, All men are devils etc! In fact, she should send that crazy girl a thank-you card!

The most dangerous woman in the world to deal with is a woman that KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS and GOES FOR IT unapologetically. Because most women don't know what they want; and the ones that do, most of them just sit back waiting and hoping for what they want to come to them. This distinctive quality makes such a woman hella attractive and so difficult to resist. This girl's husband is already hooked by what I call the "crazy b¡tch medicine". It's hard to stop once you've tasted it, and I don't mean "voodoo", no, she is the medicine. Even as sophisticated as I am, I can't deny that I dig "crazy ch¡cks" , and if she's bad ass like this, all the more difficult it is to push her away, because these kind of girls really have a strong, very strong game. They're just so good at it, a complete package of the bad girl every man subconsciously fantasizes his girl can be. These kind of girls are extremely street smart too, and carry an aura of a strong personality; whereas, most girls like to show off themselves as weaklings. If you observe most of these naive types, even a simple thing like walking, they'll walk like they need help to carry themselves; but every man's innate desire on the genetic level is to have a "powerful" woman by his side. She's right, this one is a goner. Look at her lame responses and you can tell she's about to be husband-less soon . Just reading through this chat feeds alone, and I already find this lady attractive , and I mean the one who's trespassing so to speak. It's when you encounter a woman like this up close and personal that a man can begin to understand why the acclaimed Samson was hooked to Delilah, and why most men who encounter such women are not just likely to cheat, but in fact to dump whoever they were with and carry on with her. These are the type of girls I usually call "USHER'S SONG" because "they'll make you wanna leave the one you're with and start a new relationship with her, that is what they do!!!"


Don't get me wrong, i'm not talking morality: who's right or who's wrong; i'm not here to judge, before some people start running wild on their emotions like a 4.7magnitude earthquake.

The immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, (retd), has given a hint that some arms and ammunition procured by the Jonathan administration had not arrived the country.

The former NSA said that some elements whose identities he did not disclose were frustrating the nation’s efforts to get the critically needed equipment to fight the Boko Haram insurgency.

According to Dasuki, the government had to issue queries to some arms suppliers for the delay in the supply of the items paid for by the government.

Dasuki was quoted as having made the comment in an interview with PR Nigeria, an Abuja based Media Consultancy outfit for the Nigerian military and security agencies.

He was also quoted as having said that some of the equipment procured by the Jonathan administration would arrive in the country very soon.

“It was unfortunate that some elements are frustrating the efforts. We even had to query some suppliers for the delay in the delivery of arms and ammunitions,” Dasuki was quoted as saying.

Dasuki said that the previous administration acquired a lot of highly sophisticated equipment to fight and reclaim 22 local government areas from the insurgents after years of frustration by Western countries.

It was stated that the items procured included “Alpha jets, Armoured Personnel Carriers, MRAP vehicles, advanced artillery pieces, assorted arms and ammunition, highly sophisticated surveillance drones, T72 and carried out modification of F7 supersonic jet fighters.”

The items also include armoured tanks with comprehensive NBC protection system, Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles with capacity to withstand explosions, Improvised Explosive Devices and assorted armoured personnel carriers with effective protective system against small arms fire and shrapnel.

He said that the equipment were effectively utilised to recover 22 local government areas then under Boko Haram control and prevent the Boko Haram from disrupting the 2015 general election.

Dasuki was also quoted as having said that the security forces were able to use the equipment to prevent the leader of the sect, Abubakar Shekau, from releasing videos of threats against the country.

“We are glad that we also provided assorted Armoured Personnel Carriers to transport troops to the battlefield. They were armed for self defence and to provide protection from attacks from shrapnel and small arms fire.

“All these were acquired in the last one year after years of frustration by Western powers who denied us of the equipment and sabotaged our efforts to acquire same from other sources which are reasons for some delay in delivery,” he added.

Only a bottomless fool would still be in doubt that GEJ's administration ran a full-fledged Lootocracy. The probe is yet to fully begin and the thieves are all too fidgety and already making all kinds of half-baked confessions pointing accusations and counter-accusations at themselves! Our gallant retired Colonel should just save his speeches for the DSS director, Daura. I'm sure he will be more than willing to listen to him, I mean who doesn't like listening to lies when you already know the truth.

ABUJA — A total probe of the administration run by immediate past president, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is underway as the National Economic Council, NEC, Ad-hoc Committee on the Management of Excess Crude Account Proceeds and Accruals into the Federation Account, headed by the Governor of Edo State, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, is to hire two international forensic audit firms to probe revenue that accrued into the Federation Account and how it was spent under former Dr Goodluck Jonathan as President.

Mr. Oshiomhole told journalists at the end of the first meeting of the committee in Abuja, yesterday that the auditors would cover the period January 1, 2010 to June 1, 2015.

It put paid to calls by the opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, that Buhari should extend his probe to the administrations of Jonathan’s predecessors, Alh. Umaru Yar’ Adua.and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.

Already, some revenue generating agencies have been invited to brief the committee which will take detailed briefings from all Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs of the Federal Government that deal directly with revenue.

The focus will be on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, the Nigeria Customs Service, the Central bank of Nigeria, the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, NEITI, among others.

Other members of the committee included Gov. Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai of Kaduna State, Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe, and Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom.

He said that the committee did not want its actions to be bogged down by political interpretations and that the members were not professionals. Even if they were professionals, he said that their duties as governors would not allow them the time to do a thorough work.

His words, “We held our first primary session today here with some of the revenue generating agencies that are supposed to remit funds to the federation account. We had a successful session with Customs, NPA, NEITI, SEC, FIRS, and quite a number of others and next week we will also hear from CBN, Ministry of Finance, Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation.

For the remaining ones, we agree we are going to meet on Thursday next week, NNPC, NPDC, DPR, NIMASA and other remaining agencies.

We have started the work, with the idea to hear them out, what they have been doing, with particular emphasis on revenue accruing from these organizations and whether or not these have been remitted to the Federation Account for judicious distribution.

His words: “We realised that this is a task and given our mandate, even if we were professional accountants because we are sitting governors, we would not have the time to do a forensic audit which this assignment entails.

“Therefore, we have agreed in line with our mandate to appoint two reputable international audit firms to carry out a thorough forensic audit, not only of NNPC, which is more of excess crude, but other monies that accrued to the Federation Accounts. We have other revenues like bonuses, royalties, taxes, VAT that flow into the Federation Account.

“We are taking a holistic review of the entire process, looking at all the agencies that make contribution of funds to the federation account.

We are convinced that by appointing audit firms, we will allow professionals to carry out this exercise, so that it will be free of any political colouration and also we will ensure the outcome of the investigation will.

“We have learned, we have listened and asked questions. I think we all have a clear picture of what is happening in those organizations before now. Some have information to supply and we have drawn attention to those areas, they are willing to oblige. We believe in the end, we will be able to not just establish what had happened over the period but much more important, going forward with the changes the President has promised the country.

“It is not going to be business as usual. He started on a clean slate and everybody knows the new rules of the game and in particular as the laws apply to the various institutions are implemented in full. So I think we started very well. We are very confident that we are going to come out with something that is going to be of immense benefits to the Nigerian people”.

On the rationale for embarking on another audit report with regards to the alleged missing funds, he said “Some reports were produced by PWC but in that report the PWC expressed their frustration and pointed to the fact that they were not able to access all the information they needed and that what they were able to produce was to the extent of information that was made available to them.”

He added: “Audit can only be credible as much as information that was made available to auditors. The good news now is that with President Buhari, all the books will be open, no agency has any protection. Any agency that refuses to open the books then is ready to go on confrontation with the authority.

“The forensic audit will act on the whole truth and nothing but the truth so that all stakeholders will have basis to formulate good policies and that Nigeria will never find itself in this circle where huge sums of money are allegedly diverted and unaccounted for. Audit has become a way of life for all public institutions.”

On the duration of the audit exercise, Oshiomhole explained that the committee had looked at it professionally. “We are focusing on a five year circle. What we have agreed is that we are going to carry out an audit for five years from 1st January 2010 to 30th June 2015.

“If the audit report reveals that we need to go backward, then we can do that. But for the first instance, this is the period that we consider good.

“We can’t impose a time frame on them but will engage them and by Thursday we will be able to make it public. We need to listen to them and agreed with them on how much time will be okay for them. We are all in a hurry to ensure that the right thing is done. The emphasis is not on time but doing thorough job.

“By next week we will meet with the big ones and we will then be able to tell you the audit firms that we have appointed. They are firms I am sure Nigerians will have confidence in.

“At the end of the audit we will hear them out and reconcile them with what the laws says and arrive at a position. Given the volume of work and complicated nature of issues, we agreed we need professionals to carry out the audit. It is only the professionals that can handle it. It is not good to compromise”.

When the offenders are proven guilty and convicted by the courts, if Buhari's administration enters any sort of plea bargain that entails returning looted funds alone without serving considerable jail time for their crimes against the State and the Nigerian people, then Buhari's government will lose all credibility to "We The People" and can be equated to the joke previous PDP administrations were. Reminds me of the trending hashtags months ago: #BabaNowThatYouAreThere don't disappoint us !

chukwudi44:
Lol!!! You said a man who is the current senate president has no political clout beyond Kwara? How then did he emerge senate president with the support of majority senators or have over 80 senators backing him? Don't make me laugh too hard please.

What stupid national politics did Tinubu play during the Abacha's era? He was merely an ordinary floor member of the senate(could not even manage to be any of the principal officers) who supported one of his tribesmen whose election was annulled.

He couldn't even be found amongst those who stood up to Abacha as he cowardly ran with his tails out of the country.

I repeat his contribution to PMB's victory was infitesimal!!! Votes win elections and not propaganda on the media.After all his propaganda and boasting of controlling of the SW votes he could not even deliver up to 60% of the sw votes to the APC.in spite of your propaganda GEJ had over 40% in all the sw states including states with low populations of non-yorubas.

The man attempted to push his local godfather politics to the national scale and was roundly disgraced on June 9.You his minions are desperately trying to save your image of him as an almighty godfather but the fact remains the old man is still a baby when it comes to national politics!!! He has become completely irrelevant in the scheme of things and it only took the special intervention of PMB before his preferred choice of speaker was eventually handed a principal officer role which you people are ridiculously celebrating.

Saraki doesn't have the evil brilliance nor political clout that saw his emergence as Senate President! Maybe Atiku (a political shape-shifter, who seamlessly maneuvers his way into the top ranks of any political divide that suits his agenda) does. Atiku is a very astute politician, who knows how necessary it is for his political army of foot soldiers and loyal commanders (like Saraki) to occupy influential positions in this present administration, in order to keep his presidential ambition alive and strong, should the opportunity arise, like if Buhari decides to not continue beyond 2019.


I don't think it does you any good polling election statistics trying to paint a different picture from what is reality, perhaps to suit your political fantasies and/or to console yourself about the monumental humiliating defeat GEJ and the PDP were served with. As far as election results go in the SW region, relative to what was obtainable in 2011 when he had the political support of the Jagaban's SW, GEJ's recorded votes were significantly lower. So if you want to talk of poll results statistics in the SW, then statistically GEJ failed in the SW, statistically GEJ was a loser in the SW...because he's no match politically for the Jagaban, despite all his presidential powers. You can't even begin to compare the political prowess and clout of the Jagaban with GEJ, otherwise then that's the real joke here. The Jagaban is a self-made political magnate that built his political empire with his back bent to the ground; in Nigeria's political jungle, he's a lion that tooth and clawed his way up to the top. Unlike GEJ, a political leech so to speak, whose entire political career was a handout of some sort. Politically GEJ was too undersized to fit the shoes of a president, hence his perpetual stupefying blunders, incompetence and eventual defeat!

To the likes of you, Tinubu might be irrelevant on national scale, just like people like you said OBJ was irrelevant; but to the people that matter, Tinubu is indispensable. So unfortunately, your opinion is what's irrelevant here, just like the opinion of your votes were irrelevant during the last elections. The people that matter have spoken with their votes, and that's why Buhari is president. So if you want to talk about numbers of votes, then you're still among the losers percentile, whose voice don't count enough to count - get it? In politics, it is the winner that matters. Jagaban won, and is still winning. The real contest here now is between Atiku and Tinubu because Saraki is too small to vie with Tinubu. There's no need to argue who will win, because time will tell us soon.

It keeps getting clearer that one of the main reasons why politicians in Nigeria continue to have a field day with their ignoble deeds and are very convinced they can escape the consequences is because Nigerians are too emotional. Just appeal to their emotions and they automatically become puppets that can be easily manipulated en masse to behave in a certain way repeatedly. In fact, some people can be set on auto-pilot mode. Look at where our emotions have gotten us as a country since 1960 - NO WHERE goddammit !!! It is a shame that this country with such enormous potential is bereft of critical thinkers, who think with their brains, and not with their feelings.
