Simple DECEPTION! Na so Aisha bin dey fry akara BEFORE election only to carry $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ millions watch for inauguration. Who is FOOLING who Maybe the 200 million mumus go fall for this photocracy paparazzi sha.
kosovo: Reuters got it wrong, even with a cabinet, from what we have seen in the Ministerial List. There is really nothing that can come out from this government.
It's the same old, tired and recycled politicians who will be appointed to head ministries. Irresponsible ex-governors and ex-senators climbing the mantle of leadership once again, to further mortgage our future.
When the APC screamed Change, I was never moved by that demonic mantra. Unfortunately, alot of Nigerians fell for it.
What are we seeing? The same crop of people who looted the nation dry.
Emperorx: It is better we are stuck rather than appointing criminals as ministers
I guess AmaeTHIEF is not a criminal since the money he STOLE from Rivers people was shared as $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ among APCheat delegates to secure the nomination of your "strong, incorruptible man of integrity", 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.
ItsMeAboki: Your argument is so weak and myopic as it is unbelievable that you are using any intelligence in arriving at your conclusion.
Basically your position are as follows:
1. Sanusi should not have engaged a law firm to defend him against what he saw as witch hunting. 2. The law firm involving Osinbajo shouldn't have accepted the brief from Sanusi in 2014 and defended him. 3. Sanusi should have allowed the proposed biased investigation against him to have proceeded; even though as he was later to have been vindicated the court which in its judgement also agreed with the allegation of witch hunting - that it averred that Sanusi would have been like a cockroach within the mixt of chickens.
Pls, kindly answer the following questions: doesn't Sanusi have the right to defend himself and why must he have to subject himself before a kangaroo court clearly hell bent on finding him guilty, in order to exonerate himself from blame - what happened to the adage of innocent till proven guilty?
Can you show where you said the same thing about Saraki's witch-hunting at the CCT otherwise you are a bloody HYPOCRITE of the highest order. Thanks.
Truckpusher: He is a complete waste ,at least Nigerians are beginning to see who the real praise singers and sycophants are through these events.
Amaechi is a thief and so is Buhari - As far as I'm concerned Buhari has no right or moral standing to harass or intimidate any Nigerian past or present political office holder in the opposition hiding under the umbrella of Mr integrity - Integrity my foot.
ceejayluv: true... I meant he was too gentle to the extent that he never publicly declared such damning findings against SLS... most Nigerians think he was suspended because of the (frivolous) 20 billion dollars allegation
Jonathan and PDP did not master the media. They allowed Tinubu and Lai Mohammed put them on the defensive most of the time. Can you imagine that they did nothing about the FACT that all the 36 state governors signed onto the petroleum subsidy removal in 2011?
He was NOT gentle. He is a democrat who believes, more than those before him as president and the 36 state governors who worked with him, that our INSTITUTIONS should be independent for a better society. We, the citizens, are the gentle ones who could not also have adequate focus on these institutions (apart from the president) so all works for good.
Africa does NOT need strong men. It needs strong INSTITUTIONS. ~ Barack Hussein Obama
LouisVanGaal: Kindly tell me how your assertion relate to the topic @ hand? The topic is about Custom boss and not PMB...get this once and for all! It's your type that goes into an examination hall, scans the question paper, UNABLE to answer any question; decides to set his own personal question and answers it...face the topic and leave PMB for a moment...han han!
I thought the bod language of Sai Baba cures all ills. Is that no longer so Meanwhile funny but crazy image you attached
LouisVanGaal: Since buhari came on board, have you heard ANY public official chattering flight or private jets to non-public function, even overseas?? That's the main! Who would be wasteful would still be wasteful... There were multi-millionaires in Nigeria when Dangote started with just 500k in '86...do you want to tell me that ALL are still millionaires today?? That none had gone bankrupt Your ORIGINAL argument was that the custom boss was on private jet; now that it has been disproved with credible source and superior position...you are shifting the goal post..
Below is my first post on this thread. Kindly point out where you saw private jet. Thanks.
SenseiX: That aircraft is actually from the Presidential Air Fleet not a private jet
Did Buhari not promise BEFORE elections to transfer all the presidential jets to revive Nigeria Airways

“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.
We may not need all that if Sanusi submits himself for probe instead of getting VP Osinbajo to buy him protection from our courts, not so
barcanista: Since I was born, I have never witness the kind of hypocrisy, double standard and demonisation that is currently perpetrated by Muhammadu Buhari, the APC, Alhaji Sanusi, Osinbajo and their "good governance crusaders" against the person of President Goodluck Jonathan, Allison Madekwe, and other government officials.
Alhajis Buhari and Sanusi and APC have been going about using every platform to talk about a "missing $20b", cheered by their hypocritical followers that pride themselves as good governance crusaders. They have deliberately gone blind over the fraud of CBN under Sanusi as outlined by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria report in February 2014.
Sanusi Indicted And Removed For Fraud According to the report (see below) Sanusi was indicted for Gross Misconduct that bothers on fraud and financial recklessness among other offence. The FRCN subsequently advised Mr President to remove Lamido Sanusi from office for further investigation and probe after the explanation of Sanusi appeared more like a tale and outrightly illogical according to FRCN. The council indicates that the explanation provided by Sanusi is “a clear display of incompetence, nonchalance, fraud, wastefulness, and abuse of due process and deliberate efforts to misrepresent facts on the part of the leadership of the CBN.”
The council advised the President to exercise the powers conferred on him by Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act 2007 or invoke Section 11(2)(c) of the said Act “and cause the governor and the deputy governors to cease from holding office in the CBN.”
April 2014: VP-elect Yemi Osibanjo Filed Case To Stop Sanusi Probe Rather than Sanusi to prove his innocence in court, he filed a case in Federal High Court, Lagos to STOP FRCN and Other Security Agencies from investigating and prosecuting him through three Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, Dr. Kanyinsola Ajayi and Kola Awodien. http://www.theguardianmobile.com/readNewsItem1.php?nid=24587
13 May 2014: Lagos Judge Tshoho Grants Sanusi Prayers High Court Judge John Tshoho rather than uphold the constitutional powers of FRCN to investigate probe Sanusi, he granted the prayers of Lamido Sanusi and BARRED FRCN from further investigation or probing Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. In his own words... “Prejudice is very pronounced in the language of that document. The language of the briefing note (transmitted by the FRCN to the presidency) conveys a sense of the defendant desperately goading the presidency to deal with the plaintiff,” “The plaintiff submitting himself for investigation (by FRCN) is like the cockroach finding itself in the midst of fowls. Such a cockroach cannot be innocent,”. http://www.tv360nigeria.com/?p=11923
Despite the fact the President Jonathan commissioned PWC to audit NNPC books to ascertain the veracity or otherwise of Sanusi's claim, Buhari, APC, Sanusi and their online agents that parade themselves as good governance and anticorruption apostles have been crying blue murder but refused to comment on the FRCN report nor the APC's VP elect role in shielding Sanusi for probe.
April 26, 2015: Buhari's Display of Hypocrisy In his usual hypocrisy, General Buahri vowed to re-visit the $20b allegation but said NOTHING about the FRCN report. In his own word... “Imagine a situation where the former CBN governor who by God ‘s grace would later become the Emir of Kano raised an issue of missing billions of money, not in Naira but in Dollars, $20 billion. “What happened, instead of investigating to know whether it was true that the money was missing or not, they simply found a reason to remove him. So these are the issues we are talking about…" Contrary to the lies of Alhaji Buhari, Sanusi wasn't removed because he raised alarm, he was removed because he was indicted by FRCN. Jonathan also never kept mute, he commissioned PWC to audit the books. Buhari was also blind to talk about prosecuting Sanusi for the CBN fraud. Perhaps the Emir is as "incorruptible" as him(Buhari)
The decision to suspend the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Sanusi Lamido was based on a report of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria dated June 7, 2013.
The report was made after a review of Sanusi’s response to the query issued to him by the President over the apex bank’s financial statement of 2012. His response was dated May 20, 2013.
According to a copy of the report obtained by our correspondent on Thursday, the council indicates that the explanation provided by the suspended CBN governor is “a clear display of incompetence, nonchalance, fraud, wastefulness, and abuse of due process and deliberate efforts to misrepresent facts on the part of the leadership of the CBN.”
The council advised the President to exercise the powers conferred on him by Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act 2007 or invoke Section 11(2)(c) of the said Act “and cause the governor and the deputy governors to cease from holding office in the CBN.”
The report read: The particulars of the infractions against Sanusi are:
Persistent refusal and/or negligence to comply with the Public Procurement Act in the procurement practices of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
(A) By virtue of Section 15 (1)(a) of the Public Procurement Act, the provisions of the Act are expected to comply to ‘all procurement of goods, works and services carried out by the Federal Government of Nigeria and all procurement entities.’ This definition clearly includes the Central Bank of Nigeria.
(B) It is however regrettable that the Central Bank of Nigeria, under his leadership, has refused and/or neglected to comply with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act (PPA). You will recall that one of the primary reasons for the enactment of the PPA was the need to promote transparency, competitiveness, cost of effectiveness and professionalism in the public sector procurement system.

Thanks for the mention. Can you tell us why Buhari has not converted it also to the revival of the Nigerian Airways as he promised for presidential jets Thanks.

Are those world leaders also having almajiris, who cannot go to school, as their fellow citizens Are the citizens of those world leaders' countries MOSTLY eating on the roadside in dirty environment as is the case in Kaduna state and Nigeria? Can we be more rational in the defence of these leaders looters who DEPRIVE us of so much basic modern amenities!

Why do you APCheat people like to tell LIES as if sey na oxygen wey una dey breath ni
‘Buhari took bank loan to purchase APC nomination form’ October 17, 2014
While purchasing the N25 million nomination form at the party’s national secretariat yesterday, Buhari lamented the high cost of the nomination form, but said that he was fired by his ambition to procure a bank loan through the assistance of an unnamed bank chairman earlier yesterday.
Goke7: He wasn't the President in 2007 but when we asked him in 2011 as President to follow the footsteps of his former Boss, he told us to gerarahia and you are here talking about pertinent questions, sorry AU never bothered to find out if GEJ was corrupt cos his corruption was a stench all over Africa
Why would he follow his boss to go BEYOND what the constitution required and that he did NOT promise when no one followed his good example of 2007? Do you think he is a dullard like your fake idol List other elected public servants who publicly declared their assets in 2007 otherwise you are a bloody HYPOCRITE!
Goke7: we asked GEJ pertinent questions and he told us he doesn't give a damn
Maybe you get comprehension challenges ni. Otherwise you would have been aware that he declared his assets publicly in 2007 and did so in 2011 according to the constitutional requirement.
VP Goodluck Jonathan The Vice president Goodluck Jonathan yesterday capitulated to public pressure over the public declaration of his assets as done by his boss, President Umaru Yaradua as he made public his assets declaration to the Code of Conduct Bureau.
The assets which were made public by the senior Special Assistant to the Vice president on Media and Public Affairs, Ima Niboro indicates that the value of the Vice president total assets and cash in banks stands at N295,304,420.
This is about N561, 148,472 less than the assets declare by President Umaru Yar’Adua who declared his total assets to be at the value of N856,452,892.
Mr. Iniboro said the vice president’s decision to make public his assets declaration was to show that ‘there is nothing to hide’.
He added that the vice president is ‘a firm believer in the rule of law and this has guided his conduct in office through the years.
“It is this belief that also guided his position that having declared his assets for a total of seven times, there was no point in going further to publish the declaration” he noted
The vice president’s aide regretted that the position of the vice president not to make public his assets declaration had ‘generated an unfortunate storm, which is not only distractive but also quite unnecessary. We are worried that some newspapers and citizens we hold in high esteem have joined the fray.
“This merely shows that in the affairs of man, there comes a time when even the law must take a second place and the public mood must define our actions. To The Vice president, this is such a time, hence the choice to send you a copy of his declaration for publication” he said.

Yet he foolishly told us, mere stealing is not corruption.
God bless PMB as you set a true light of hope for Nigeria and the African continent.
You have believed too many LIES already.
Fight against corruption nor be for mouth, lies and propaganda plus media-friendly show like OBJ own. Na systematic resolve na im be the koko for success as reflected between Jonathan's improved record versus Obasanjo's FAILURE.
