President Muhammadu Buhari, who spoke briefly on Wednesday with Sky News’ Diplomatic Editor, Dominic Waghorn, after he delivered his keynote address at the Commonwealth event, agreed with the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, that Nigeria is a “fantastically corrupt” country.

President Buhari made the admittance to Sky News’ Diplomatic Editor, Dominic Waghorn in London.
In the 29 seconds chat minutes monitored by our correspondent, Waghorn had pressed president Buhari to know whether Nigeria Nigeria was “fantastically corrupt”, surprisingly, the president admitted.

The chat went this way:

Sky news: Will you like an apology from the prime minister?

Buhari: “No, no not at all”

Sky news: Are you embarrassed by what he said?

Buhari: “No I’m not.”

Sky news: Is Nigeria fantastically corrupt?

Buhari: “Yes very corrupt”

But according the Correspondent, Senators Chukwuka Utazi, chairman, senate committee on anti-corruption and financial crimes and Dino Melaye were not happy with Cameron’s comment on Nigeria.

For Utazi, “I am taken aback. I am not happy about it,” while for Melaye, it was “reckless” and “demeaning”.


Below is the video of the interaction posted on the news medium’s website.

Blue3k:
They should bother with us anyway. As David Cameron said. This place is fantasticly currupt. They don't have any vested interest in us. Everyone complaining about multnational companies stealing is a little strange. Didn't they get permission from Nigerian gov.

Why hadn't Nigerian government that had all land and mineral right govrnment given contract to Nigerian companies?

Next question to ask why did they did we allow them to run oil business at all? They ran it into ground, refineries don't work and need to be sold off.

When Nigerian politicians steal they take money to Western banks. They gladly except money use it to develop their country and laugh at us for being idiots.

bashydemy1:
Bro this Govt is not ready to prosecute and jail anybody, Where are you when Metuh return the money and pledge his support for the fight against corruption? Where are you when FFK return his own? Nemadi who is not ready to return her's is cooling her ass in jail. Maybe PEJ will be next.

I remain grateful to Gbenga Daniel – Tinubu dismisses rift rumors



https://www.theelitesng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/image562.jpg



A national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has cleared the air on the alleged enmity between him and a former two-term Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel.

Tinubu, who spoke through Mr. Wale Edun at the 25th anniversary celebration of Otunba Gbenga Daniels’ Kresta Laurel, said there is no truth in the stories that he has been fighting with Gbenga Daniel, adding that they are still good friends.

Edun said: “I am here representing Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and my presence is to show that there is no friction between Asiwaju and Otunba Gbenga Daniel”


Mr. Edun went on to explain that whenever Tinubu drives past the Kresta Laurel building in Maryland, Lagos, he remembers the enormous contributions Daniel made to the take off of his administration in 1999 and was immensely grateful.

He revealed that the Peoples Democratic Party chieftain was very gracious to donate the Kresta Laurel building to Tinubu’s campaign team at the time it was just being completed.

“The Daniels also made a section of their home available to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu whenever he worked too late and could not go home. After the election, he also allowed us to use it for the Transition Committee where he was a member”

GenBuhari:
I kind of see your point, and suspect you are right that Buhari's trip for ear infection treatment in UK was a smokescreen for secret discussions with Western powers; because it was during that trip that his forex policy was abandoned for the forex policy of devaluation / "flexibility" the West and IMF had been pushing for. Disappointing.

adebayo89:
so local rice is now 13k more amount than amount we used to buy foreign rice then....there is God o

bfire:
Yet, the empty treasury ($67B to less than $30B and pilfering of over $500B in 5yrs) is no fault of Jonathan, right.

You have no conscience!

Good.

Nigerians know how to handle tough times.
We will excel whether Buhari likes it or not.
Change begins with me, but they can't change from wasting our scarce resources in driving expensive official cars.

God must sustain the poor masses of 9ja.

In terms of presidential cars, there is change indeed.
While GEJ was riding an ordinary Mercedes-Benz S 350, Muhammadu Buhari prefers much more expensive and luxury model – Mercedes-Maybach S600.

Mercedes-Maybach S600 described as “an extra highlight in the luxury segment.” While both Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari prefer Mercedes-Benz, it seems that Jonathan’s taste in cars is much more simplistic than Buhari’s.

Above: Mercedes-Maybach S600.

Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu, has rented a mansion in the elitist Maitama District of the Federal capital territory (FTC) Abuja, News Express can report this morning.

The storey building located at No. 8B, Rudolf Close, off Katsina Ala Crescent, in the highbrow Maitama District, was the abode of a former federal minister who died some time in May 2014.

An impeccable source said: “The property was rented to the Acting EFCC Chairman for N40,000,000 at N20,000,000 per annum.

“Furthermore, the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) curiously awarded a contract to Africa Energy, a company owned by Rtd Air Comm. Umar Muhammad, to furnish the residence at the cost N43,000,000, in a Government where the President is known to have frowned at and rebuked his ministers for requesting N20,000,000 each to secure accommodation and furnish them.

“It is shocking that the man spearheading the anti-corruption crusade of the government will be involved in such a venture. More surprising is the involvement of FCDA in renting a house for EFCC and under what arrangement.”

News Express made efforts to get the reaction of Magu and EFCC but the commission’s spokesmen Osita Nwajah and Wilson Uwujaren did not respond to text messages sent to them seeking their reaction to the story.

This days most of the news coming from Osun state is about Aregbe commissioning or starting a project. the man is a silent achiever.

I now believe that most of the negatives news are carried by agents of hate from other side of the divide.

Salary issue aside Aregbe is a great achiever.

All hail Ogbeni

If president buhari can achieve this, is going to be one of the best thing he has ever done for this country. Imagine a state in south west...

For the past 6 years no local government election and for the past 7 months no caretaker to govern the local government. Local governments is now being govern by level 14 workers... Why!!!

He has rendered them absolute useless. The governor now dictate how much he disburse to each local government every 2 months.

Local government workers are suffering from lack of salary whereas each local government get more than enough every month from federal governmrnt to pay their salaries

We pray our lawmakers can use their N06 this time around.

Funlordjnr:

Solution? Why should I be offering solutions on a policy that I believe is long overdue? Or are you not aware of the disadvantages of having state governments in control of local government funds? My bad, just look at who I'm asking sef.........

Your intellectual limitations must be an acquired skill! Go and read a dictionary and find out the true meaning of a hypocrite before typing random rubbish in the near future okay!

Now my solution for YOU is a simple one....with no due respect, kindly GET LOST! There.... solved!

It is good.
It will happen now.

And that is why we should MOBILISE public opinion for this LGA autonomy amendment to pass.
Then our LGAS can do what they are constitutionally RESPONSIBLE for instead of simply bootlicking the state governors.
