NgeneUkwenu: Mama Peace says $15m in her account is for medicals, so we can equally replace all her body parts with new ones for $551,973 and return the balance to the coffers of government...
Ndi Ara!
How many body parts does MaguN have for the millions he has spent on renting a house and furnishing it despite our country's minimum wage being N18,000?
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.
Is this CORRUPTION happening under the nose of our able retired General, only saviour, fighter of corruption, the DullardPoo of Daura? If the senators confirm him on the job what more will Magu do?

This is TRUE information oh. Below is from one of the original sources - Vanguard.
Those asking me to account for Abacha’s loot are stupid — Obasanjo MARCH 21, 2016
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed angst against those asking him to account for recovered Abacha loot, describing them as illiterates and stupid people. He also said there was nothing wrong in President Muhammadu Buhari’s frequent trips as, according to him, Nigeria needs to be in touch with important centres of the world. Obasanjo, who stated this in an interview with an Online platform, frisky larr (watch video here), said the role of his office was to facilitate the recovery process and not how it was put to use.
. . . On fluctuating oil price, Obasanjo said President Buhari was lucky than he was, saying: “When I assumed office in 1999, I inherited $3.7 billion in reserve, while Buhari met $30 billion, almost 10 times of what I met then, and the price of oil then was $9. When it got to $20, I was dancing.
naptu2: How does that link prove that it is his Twitter account? He has repeatedly said that he is not on twitter, Facebook and instagram and he has threatened to have those who are masquerading as him prosecuted.
Therefore, it's false and misleading information to present that handle as his. Read this link.
Funlordjnr: All you ever do on this forum is to spam threads by posting garbage memes and wailing over any and all government policies without ever offering any sort of solutions!
Are you just naturally pained by the fact that an incompetent pdp government was deservedly disgraced during the last elections or do you just do this for a living? Grow up woman!
I was looking out for "any sort of solution" in your post. Alas, there is NONE! Can anyone please define HYPOCRITE for us again?
I can agree with you that I am pained the WORST elements of PDP have found refuge in the holy, holy gathering as redeemed born-to-gain progreTHIEVES. Not so
eyeview: It won't fly. The move to ammend the constitution was tried earlier. The state governors got their various state house of assemblies to vote against it and thus it couldn't muster the two-third majority needed. Besides,with the exception of the senate, a majority of the members of the house of reps are candidates of their various state governors. I don't see this amendment happening
It is good. It will happen now. Have you forgotten that we now have a strong man, our "only saviour", whose body language odour alone fixes all things bad & ugly about our country Unlike the "weak, bloody civilian" who was his predecessor.
abobakucannibal: No,kwantinu to defend all these recycled old polithiefcians while they keep deceiving you.no take your own future into your hands.
Na im gangan wey you for dash this your wickedly wosked moniker oh. Ebola Owu is to be despised and dumped in the rubbish bin of history for all his crimes against our nation and for depriving the youths active participation in governance.
Obasanjo shared $74million Halliburton bribe, Okiro Panel says: • OBJ also pocketed another $5 million with PDP • Interim Panel report disappeared in Aso Rock MAY 18, 2010
President Olusegun Obasanjo, who led Nigeria from 1999-2000, during which time he swore to fight corruption in the country, obtained considerable helpings of the infamous Haliburton bribe money, the Special Investigation Panel headed by Inspector-General of Police, Mike Okiro, has declared in an interim report.
PhockPhockMan: But Buhari, in the document titled, ‘I pledge to Nigeria’ had also said that all his political appointees would only earn salaries and allowances as prescribed by the Revenue and Mobilisation and Fiscal Allocation Commission.
He said, “I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liabilities, encourage all my appointees publicly declare their assets and liabilities as a pre-condition for appointment. All political appointees will only earn the salaries and allowances determined by the RMFAC. I pledge, as Commander-in-Chief, to lead from the front and not behind in the comfort and security of Aso Rock, to boost the morale of fighting forces and the generality of all Nigerians.”
bashydemy1: Hahaha have you forgotten your mother hero stock $15million in some account for medical treatment why are you sick with no money to treat your self.
Should I not have pity on you for your terminal medical condition that requires even more money? What are friends for?

So that we can have many uncompleted railways and other infrastructural projects, not so Unlike Jonathan who rehabilitated and expanded the railways while the dog of ubimma was in denial!
ijekul: As the Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by the Rivers State Government to probe the sale of valued assets of the state and other matters continued its sitting on Friday, the technical consultant to the state on the monorail project, Arcus Gibbs revealed that he advised former Governor Chibuike Amaechi against continuing with the project.
Managing Director of Arcus Gibbs Nig Ltd, Wiero Viguezang, however said his company gave the advice only after collecting N22.9bn from the Rivers State Government since its services were enlisted in March 1, 2010.
Viguezang spoke when he appeared before the commission to explain the role played by his company in the monorail project being probed by the commission.
While being cross-examined by counsel to the commission, Dr. Zaccheus Adangor, Viguezang, stated that the monorail project was no longer tenable considering the shortfall in the state’s revenue and the inability of its original technical and equity partners, TSI Nig Ltd, headed by the former military administrator of Rivers State, Brig-Gen Anthony Ukpo (Rtd.), to fulfil its obligations to contribute 80 per cent of its equity holdings.
He disclosed that the state owes his company N1.1bn for its services. He also said the company had in a letter to the Rivers State through the ministry of transport, in April, made a six-point recommendation to the Rivers State on how to unbundle the monorail project in such a way that the state government can salvage some financial benefits out of the N33.9bn so far invested in the project. The monorail project was originally estimated to cost about Euros2250m.
The technical partner had in its sixth point of recommendation suggested to the Rivers State Government to unbundle the monorail project and approach the manufacturers of the mechanical components and rail tracks in Germany and exploit the possibility of reselling components at a lower price to the manufacturers.
He said the company also advised the state government to consider the option of using the monorail facilities for other commercially viable purposes, mentioning the spaces between pillars and surrounding areas of the monorail project, stressing that the area between Azikiwe Road and the UTC axis could be put into very fruitful commercial purpose. Viguezang also told the commission that his company and the state government had planned to unveil the monorail project last April specifically to mislead the people of Rivers State into thinking that the project, which has gulped N33.9bn, was still on course.
He admitted that his company wrote a memo to the commissioner for transport to arrange the unveiling of the project essentially for media coverage since the project was “technically uncompleted”.
According to Viguezang, “We actually wrote to the ministry of transport in January, to arrange for the governor to unveil the monorail project in April for the attention and coverage of the media based on the expectation of the people of the state.”
When asked to clarify if the unveiling was to deceive the people of Rivers State into believing that the controversial monorail project was ready, Viguezang admitted; “It was to deceive the people into believing that the monorail project was at last ready”.
The managing director, however, stressed that “apart from the media coverage and public attention that it is expected to generate, the monorail was not technically and commercially ready. Only phase 1a within phase 1 of the project was ready. So, there was no way the public would have been able to use the monorail as at April when we asked the ministry of transport to unveil the project to the media”.
Viguezang admitted that the Rivers State government enlisted services of Arcus Gibbs at the cost of N600 million from March 1, 2010 to December 1, 2010, after the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with TSI collapsed because TSI could not raise revenue to fulfil the payment of its 80 per cent equity share capital.
He stated that part of its role as the technical service provider to the Rivers State government concerning the monorail project was to evaluate and assess the activities of TSI and give an independent opinion to the Rivers State government.
If you are talking about the dog of ubimma, he is not the ONLY one that is useless for stealing Rivers state people's money to dollarise DullardPoo's election. He is just as useless as the people who allow hi steal their money and cannot stone him. Not so
Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari
The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.
One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.
He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”
One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.
Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.
It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.
Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.
According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.
What Ambode needs, is to pay handsomely those people who have Reinvented Innovated or invented things to teach other people.
By sharing technological knowledge, progress in technology will grow fast as people developed better ones that can help our socioeconomic lives.
I guess that you have not heard that a rich man among six poor one makes ALL of them a GROUP of poor people who will easily be oppressed by a group of rich people. Or have you heard that before? Is it not sheer stupidity for a politician like Dino Meleaye to buy an expensive cars that he will drive over bad roads because we allow him to pay himself too much money that could have been used to FIX and maintain the roads? Why are we black people such empty skulls and lazy bimbos? Why?
tonte23: In a wedding ceremony at Ikoyi registry, Lagos, a 28-year-old Nigerian man has tied the knot with a 71-Year-Old European woman. Despite the 43 years difference in their ages, the couple expressed they got married because they are deeply in love. However, many Nigerians are saying this wedding maybe for other reasons but love.
Ritchiee: Big ups for Ambode for supporting technology.Other governors should emulate him.I even read today that a firm in Ibadan is also producing kerosine,alum etc from plastic wastes.Technology is the key.BIG UPS TO NIGERIAN TECH TEAM.
Big ups is too much to give him when many children are UNABLE to attend school in the state of excellence or attend schools without enough teachers and in terrible condition. Acknowledging what he has above his more mediocre 35 state governors and 774 LGA chairmen is enough.
MathsChic: Some days ago, I was at a secondary school in Surulere (across the bridge from the Island) in Lagos for a friend's event where he is educating secondary students about the perils of peer pressure. I honestly wasn't expecting what I saw as the state of this secondary school. It left me wondering if this was a school or a dump yard. Why in heaven's name are Nigerian leaders looking the other way while the young ones study in this sorry environment?
The attached pictures are what I saw. This is no secondary school. It's a hopeless shanty. I hope this gets to front page and attracts the necessary attention.
Barigaboy: U mumu pass anything. No let posting rubbish in Nairaland put u in trouble o. Handling u no be problem for me o. Its so easy. But I free u for dis 1. Quote anoda trash again.
Are you also an illiterate? Or how is TRUTH the same thing as rubbish? You better go and collect refund from your English teacher.
soberdrunk: IT IS WICKED TO OWE WORKERS "AT ANY TIME"........
I thought that I was the only one who saw that stupidly foolish statement. Since we do not exercise adequate control and accountability on our public SERVANTS whom we pay and give so much privileges, we ca expect they will abuse us as they wish anytime.
AtlanticBreeze: This is why we have been paying our workers. It is wicked to owe workers at a time like this.
Someone should ask Obiano if there is a time when it is NOT wicked to owe workers? Why do these politicians take all of us for FOOLS? Are we really all their 200 million mumus?
Did we not elect them? Do we not allow them to MISrule us? Were they not ordinary folks like us before now? Therefore, if our leaders looters are wicked, it is because we the followers are equally wicked.

GMB Speech While Addressing Nigeria Community In The United Kingdom.
I Will Maintain a modest lifestyle as President -Muhammadu Buhari.
“One of the major killers of our economy apart from corruption is waste. Our scarce resources are being plundered away very carelessly and unnecessarily wasted. Let me give an instance, presently, there are more than 6 aircraft in the presidential fleet. What do you call that? Billions of naira is budgeted every year for the maintenance of these aircraft not to talk of operational cost and other expenses.
You may want to ask what a Nigerian President is doing with so many aircraft when a Prime Minister of Britain fly around using the same public aircraft like an ordinary Briton.
Go and check and compare with that of any developed country in the world, the office of the Nigerian President is a very expensive one inspite our high level of poverty, lack and joblessness. Despite all these, you still find a Nigerian Minister spending about N10billion to charter an aircraft for just one year. Now, for me, when we come into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channelled into our economy. We intend for instance, to bring back our National carrier, the Nigerian airways. [size=14pt]We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian airways[/size] and within a year increase the fleet into about 20.
HtwoOw: As a commander in chief, he could have removed subsidy, Nigerians will complain and keep quiet, however reverse is the case, subsidy protest did not stop GEJ from removing subsidy, his fellow looters blackmailed him into keeping it there
Thankfully Jonathan is not a foolish military dictator like the one who called his fellow citizens- "useless, senseless and indiscipline" in 1984! And it was the 36 state governors who wanted the subsidy removed.
A publication by Asiwaju's Asiwere's The Nation newspaper in November 2014 i.e. three months before the scheduled date for the elections where Ebola Owu was openly campaigning against Jonathan after being made the navigator of the Association of ProgreTHIEF Criminals, APC party You should be smarter than this, bro.
Obasanjo endorses APC moves, as party leadership visit Abeokuta 22.Dec 2013
The push by the opposition, All Progressives Congress, APC to dislodge the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP received a boost yesterday as former President Olusegun Obasanjo openly threw his weight behind the APC’s current initiatives. The APC leadership, comprising some national leaders and governors visited him Obasanjo in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital on Saturday to solicit the former president’s support for the party in the forthcoming elections. The party leaders, which started converging on Obasanjo’s Hilltop Mansion around 5:22pm, included former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the party’s Interim National Chairman, Bisi Akande; former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari; former speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Masari; former Borno State governor, Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff; Senator Osita Isunazor; Senator Bukola Saraki and Lai Mohammed. Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State came to the former president’s house in company with the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commissioin, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu; the former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode and others in a convoy of three black jeeps. Other APC governors at the meeting included Rochas Okorocha (Imo), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Abdulfattah Ahmed (Kwara), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano) and Senator Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo). The Chairman of the New PDP, Kawu Baraje led some of his members and the former Kaduna State Chairman, Yero Makama, to the meeting. Presenting the party chieftains and the APC governors to Obasanjo during the opening of the meeting, Akande said the party was in support of the former president’s 18-page letter to President Goodluck Jonathan. The APC National Leader, Tinubu who alluded to Obasanjo’s contribution to the building of the Nigerian nation, lamented that the country was divided more than ever. Apparently referring to Obasanjo’s recent letter to Jonathan, he enjoined the former president not to shy away from speaking the truth. Tinubu added that the APC had resolved to rescue Nigeria, appealing to Obasanjo to lead the mission. “You’ve come out of tribulation and held the highest position in this country. We are here because of your courage. Nobody can say he has information more than you. You have surmounted a number of crises. Nigeria is divided more than before; to realise stable Nigeria, we want to encourage you to continue to speak the truth. We’re resolved and determined to rescue Nigeria. We want you as navigator,” he said.
limeta: Am only me Buhari should quit the stage. Buhari should come out clean Quit and the people would respect you.
Indeed the DullardPoo should come out clean instead of hiding his corrupt wealth from us while pretending to be fighting corruption. Yeye dey smell.
PhockPhockMan: But Buhari, in the document titled, ‘I pledge to Nigeria’ had also said that all his political appointees would only earn salaries and allowances as prescribed by the Revenue and Mobilisation and Fiscal Allocation Commission.
He said, “I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liabilities, encourage all my appointees publicly declare their assets and liabilities as a pre-condition for appointment. All political appointees will only earn the salaries and allowances determined by the RMFAC. I pledge, as Commander-in-Chief, to lead from the front and not behind in the comfort and security of Aso Rock, to boost the morale of fighting forces and the generality of all Nigerians.”
