Onegai: So 2015 is going to be bloody financially.
Neither candidate (Buhari or GEJ) has done enough to convince me to vote. I will rather use my time to worry about myself next year than waste it screaming "APC, PDP". Those guys couldn't care less about me.
Please do not hold on to your vote. That would be the worst option of the many possibilities you have
For the presidential, you can determine the LESS bad of the two options based on antecedents in works & words. There are also the
- senate - representative - governor - state assembly lawmaker
that also need to be determined by that your singular vote. Please I encourage you to seriously reconsider your stance and not just get out & vote but convince (and if necessary drag paapa) others to also exercise their franchise
The more of us who do not vote the greater the chance for rigging, manipulation and emergence of candidates who would feel LESS indebted to us and more indebted to the GODFATHERS who ensured their victory through those mechanisms we all decry. Why should you or anyone you know want that to happen Why would you allow yourself to make their crooked life easier while making that of fellow Nigerians even more difficult?
Please feel free to share so we mobilise ourselves more to get better engaged in our politics. That is the BEST choice to make!!!
tlops: Let them write To the military board to obtain the credential. By the way this is d third time he is contesting, shouldn't they have his credentials by now? What of d person wey him own burn, they no query am.
I hope you said that on the thread about Sambo's credentials.
Anyway the daft old soldier can borrow the credentials of his intellectual itelese running mate
sukkot: now we need to advise nigerians to dress smart and be civilized. we dont want yam seller offloading all her yam on the seat and scratching it. we want everyone in the train dressing smart looking clean and acting civilized. thats the next move. this why we need buhari WAR AGAINST INDISCIPLINE
If you accept that you are "useless & senseless" hence need to be flogged to do the basic things right like a goat, then please speak for yourself and yourself only.
I will not be part of such a goat parade. Thanks but NO thanks!!!

The saddest part of the HYPOCRISY by the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC is that they do not mind riding on the back of the Jonathan/Sambo railway revival to score political points like "Engineer" Aregberascal's "free" train rides during festivities =>
See as the yeye man even carry im "state of Osun" flag take denge po of a demo for top of the train
Then the man come carry N1 billion sey im repaint the Osogbo train station
Aregbesola Eulogised Over the Renovation of the Osogbo Railway Terminus
The governor of the State of Osun Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has been described as prudent, talented, having vision and a God given gift to the state.
The special adviser to the governor on works and transport Engineer Oladepo Amudah stated this in his office while fielding questions from journalists on the rehabilitation and face lifting of the Railway Station, Osogbo.
According to him, government is using its meager resources to develop the station in order to enhance the social and economic status of the state and meeting the standard of Nigeria Railway Corporation.
Engineer Amudah said government has spent four hundred and twelve million naira on phase one, while the next stage will involve the recreation centre, clearing and separation from terminus to Olaiya which will cost six hundred million naira.
He maintained that at the end of the projects the state government will be spending over one billion naira to renovate the railway station.
Johnnyessence: GMB is a complete elder state man that want peace in all d sector of this country. by d special graves of he will win on Feb 14,2015 Presidential election.
Yes by the special graCe of whoever/whatever he worships he will not win!
Yes by the persistent cries of unfulfilled dreams from the graves of our murdered youth on NATIONAL SERVICE by his brain-dead followers in 2011, he will not win!!
cyril10: Buhari didn't spent money but you did on his behalf, both of you are same.
That is what a Donatus General (DG) is supposed to do for his slave masters, especially one that doubles as Driver General (DG) every now & then as duty calls!!!
barcanista: It was risky for Jonathan but not risky for the Governor and the policemen. It was risky to visit but won't be risky to campaign in borno. What a useless and non-challant administration.
Sai Buhari
Yes it was risky for the president to visit Chibok. Thankfully he did not as any fatality there could have spiralled and snowballed into a situation beyond imagination for our country as we currently know it.
As for your governor and policemen rant, you need to be reminded of how the PROPAGANDA fuelled media-hugging Association of Pretending Crooks, APC governors visited Maiduguri a few days before the president's planned visit to score cheap points of not being afraid of Boko Haram then. In case you do not know the logistics and security protocol for the president's visit to ANY where is not done in a matter of days or weeks, sometimes even months talk less of when a security situation is involved!
Presidency: APC Govs’ Maiduguri Visit Was Reckless, Opportunistic 06 Mar 2013
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, who spoke to journalists in Abuja said: “The APC governors’ visit was hurriedly packaged to pre-empt the visit of Mr. President which had been planned and scheduled several weeks ago.
“This is surely an act of crass opportunism and political desperation on the part of these governors and the party they represent.” According to Okupe, “We regard that visit as a media circus, stunt and photo-op by these governors who were apparently in Maiduguri to feather their political nests.
“If one may ask, where were these governors in the last 18 months that they had been in office? It is obvious that it is part of their mobilisation drive that took them to Borno State, rather than any patriotic call to duty. “These are desperate power mongers who flock together in spite of their obvious conflicting political philosophies and inordinate ambitions.”
Okupe called on ACN to explain to Nigerians the benefits that the celebrated visit had brought to the citizens of Borno State and what effect it had on the activities of the Boko Haram sect, which even carried out bomb attacks while the APC meeting was in progress.
“That visit was borne out of sheer political recklessness and could have caused Nigeria major security embarrassment but for the fact that the Federal Government and its security apparatus took extra efforts to ensure that the visiting governors were safe.
“Being elected officials, the onus was on the Federal Government to ensure that they were safe in spite of their being oblivious of the peculiar security implications and real potential dangers inherent in their hurriedly packaged visit,” Okupe said.
Okupe further described the APC as a rickety political organisation seeking cheap publicity, saying, “The visit had nothing to do with sympathy, as it was borne out of political recklessness and political grandstanding.
“The Federal Government does not play to the gallery, it is doing what ought to be done.”
enoqueen: When Jonathan was a deputy governor, calamity befall Alamesiagha, when he was vice president, calamity befall Yar'adua, and now he is the president of nigeria, a lot of calamity are befallen nigeria. 100,000 of nigerians are now refugees in their own country, over 13,000 have died in the hands of boko haram, fuel from 65 to 97, import duty is now times two, NEPA tariff going high, dana air crash, Agagu plane crash, Yakowa and Azazi crash, Dambaba Suntai crash, two military helicopter crash, super eagle defending champion zero, corruption, impunity, political thugs in d highest level. To mention but few. Jonathan is a calamity which any nation should pray against.... Beware!!!
I will ignore the incoherence and bad grammar plus structure of your post to talk about YOUR calamity message!
As for me and my household we will take a man who is PROGRESSIVELY reviving our railway sector over & above a daft old soldier who senselessly cancelled a metro rail project in Lagos over 30 years ago out of ethnocentric HATRED. That is just one very comparable sector oh!
When all is taken into consideration, I will advise anyone to also choose that Goodluck calamity over the Buhari calamity any day, won't you
You know when I first saw just your comment and the title right on top, na im I come ask myself na how these five guys want take do am except Et Al na woman too for make the distributional pairing to achieve equilibrum
Much FASTER by far than Orile-Mile 2 in the never-delivered, over-hyped Fashola light rail that was promised to start running in June 2013. In case you are having problems with basic arithmetic, that makes 18 months journey of NOpoke train by a NOpoke governor
naptu2: Lagos Light Rail Will Be Completed By June 2013 Says Fashola
Yes I must before your daft old soldier gets to power and takes away our freedom of speech like he did in his two years of torture & pains with Decree 4 and many journalists left to rot in his dingy jails!!!
Are you currently studying Defence Mechanisms in school?

Hitunnu: I hope u would someday, be kind enough to tell this to ur kids when they ask u the effort u put in to save them from these inpending financial slavery.
Haters of truth! Corruption in it broad state entails inability of any body to function in line with the prospect and core objectives at which it was implemented.
Ask urself some conscious and sincere question? To what extent has our supposed policies and all heavily financially invested bodies be of imppact to the economy of this great Nation?
If Nigeria happened to be a one man investment would all these billions be allowed to let go just like that? Why are we portraying a picture of not being economically sensitive?
Yes I would PROUDLY tell my kids and even share these posts with them to show how many of our generation are so DAFT that they do not want their SINators and representaTHIEVES to do any work for the mega-billions they take home from us every month thus ranking them as one the highly paid buffoons of public servants in the world.
I guess you will be telling your kids you were shouting ONLY the president is accountable, not so How utterly stewpid
femikay149: bro this is not about drainage ...Even if u dig drainage in that area u can not dig more few meters before u find water...All that area is waterlogged and not even safe for habitation
The Govt can try to shield the community by building barriers with latest technology by the shore or just simply evacuate the area
It is SIMPLY about drainage. No more! No less!!
However it is NOT about simple drainage. It has to be SPECIAL drainage adapted to the terrain that is below (or just slightly above) sea level. Amsterdam, Venice, London, New Orleans are just a few cities that have similar geographical situation but some have turned their drainage systems (CANALS) into veritable money-spinning tourist attractions - Venice for example & their famous boats (GONDOLAS)
Even right here in Lagos STATE we have had land reclaimed from the sea- parts of VI and Ikoyi plus Banana Island. So
What is becoming more obvious through these citizen photo-journalists is the FRAUD and outright SCAM that the Tinubu-Fashola administration for almost 16 years in Lagos has been.
The only progress these progreTHIEVES have made is to increase IGR from our pockets, wallets, handbags and bags by over 34 times from N7.2 billion in 1999 to N246 billion in 2013
Keneking: His Excellency, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan PhD,
This mail is to humbly request that you provide us ecological funds to save this pending tsunami in Lagos. To avoid creating additional problems in the country as you stated at The Apostolic Church in Abuja on sunday, kindly fund the mopping of the water and creation of drains in this part of the country. It would not be nice to have you abandon this looming disaster where you are targeting significant votes from your party to return you back to seat in 2015. Although, we know it would be challenging for you to come back given the present circumstances. We know that you can transform this area with your transformation agenda.
From estimates, Ibeju lekki and Ikorodu has been your parties stronghold, we implore you to intervene so that the opposition party would not capitalise on this shortcomings. Looking forward to your timely intervention. Please can I call you when back from your Ibori-connected london visit?
Expecting your response in this regards.
Warm regards

hopeINhell: Hello, no problem. What you are referring to is called PEPSE ( Post Exposure Prophylaxis following Sexual Exposure) basically, it is a series of anti retroviral (HIV) medication (ARV) that is given to prevent acquiring the virus after possible exposure. It is not a replacement for safe sex but it is there to use if you had a condom accident or forgot to use a condom. It is licensed for use up to 72 hours (3 days) after the incident (in this case sex) as research shows that by day 5, HIV has already gotten hold of the body (to explain in simple terms). Obviously the sooner you go to take it, the better and the higher the chance of success. Beware that PEPSE is to be taken for 28 days and you need close monitoring. The best is still consistent and correct condom use, but if that fails there is PEPSE, find a HIV specialist in your area to discuss about this when ever you feel you are risk and are within the time frame mentioned above. They will tell you depending on the type of sex you had if you should go on PEPSE. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any other question and people can also PM me too if you wish
Thanks for your detailed explanation.
I will only like to add that it is simply called a PEP kit because accidental contact with HIV is not only through sexual activity. An error in blood transfusion can also lead to exposure, for example. Cheers!
Former military President Ibrahim Babangida made no commitment on the 2015 presidential poll to President Goodluck Jonathan at a meeting in Minna on Saturday, The Nation learnt yesterday.
Gen. Babangida only raised issues on how to keep the nation united during and after the general elections – contrary to the widespread insinuation that he endorsed Jonathan’s bid for another term.
Buoyed by the visit, Dr. Jonathan has started reaching out to key emirs and leaders of the North to back his re-election bid. He may soon visit these leaders as part of his action plan to reduce the influence of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
The details of the meeting between Jonathan and Gen. Babangida were revealed in Abuja by one of the key aides of the former military leader. The talks between the two leaders in Minna created ripples in the North, with many highly-placed Northerners bombarding Gen. Babangida with calls on what actually transpired.
The aide, who was at Gen. Babangida’s Hilltop mansion when Jonathan visited, said the talks had nothing to do with the general elections. The source said: “It is true that the President visited Gen. Babangida at his Minna Hilltop mansion but the nature of his message was based purely on unity of the country and not about 2015 presidential election. “As a former president who fought for the unity of the country, he was of the view that the president needs support as President and not as presidential candidate per se.
“It is his view that the country needs to be united as one before we can begin to talk about election. Only a united Nigeria can guarantee credible election.” According to the aide, who requested not to be named because he was not permitted to speak to the media, “What Gen. IBB said should be viewed within the context of the larger Nigeria interest and not that of any parochial interest that is likely to unsettle the system. “Those of them who fought in the civil war to keep the country one understand the dynamics and challenges facing us now in the face of grave insecurity and poor economic realities,” he said.
Besides, said the aide, those criticising Gen. Babangida should take it easy as he belongs to the PDP “even as a nominal member. “As a leader and former president who was privileged to preside over the affairs of the country and who also fought in the civil war, he will continue to speak the language of unification than that of division,” he said. Gen. Babangida’s view, according to the aide is that as a President who is facing crises, Jonathan deserves the support of all to keep the country together, irrespective of all the manifest imperfections.
Jonathan is said to have started reaching out to top Emirs and leaders in the North to checkmate Gen. Buhari’s influence. A source spoke of the battle between Jonathan and Gen. Buhari has shifting to the North, adding that has been consulting some prominent Emirs and leaders on why he should be given second term in office. “The President, Vice-President Namadi Sambo, PDP governors, and leaders will be embarking on shuttles to some of these key Northern leaders for support.
“They are desperate to take the battle to Buhari’s stronghold but no one can say whether the President and the PDP can go far or not,” said the source. Another source added: “Jonathan’s game plan is to split the North. “This explains why Northern leaders were concerned about the President’s renewed interest in the North after he failed the region in many promises he made in 2011.”
xreal: Really? This man will go old faster than before. .....from one media house to BRT, to one Olamide's OLIC. Buhari Tinubu don give am assignment.
Abeg na why you dey yab our original Pastor, Professor, Lawyer, IntellectualItelese (foot sole) like that? Abeg take ya time oh
The man has been envagelising the gospel according to buhari's sharia-by-force agenda Very busy man!!!
Na the people for that concert na dem go queue up to vote in the nooks & crannies all over our country on 14 Feb. to deliver the MILLIONS of vote they NEED oh! So let's just chill, watch and pray even as we prepare contingency measures for the consequnce of the result by the usual losers
How MANY wards did our Vice President in waiting cover during this paparazzi tour?
What % do those wards represent of the TOTAL number of wards in Nigeria
The result of Feb. 14 is already writing itself with the MISDIRECTED "campaign" of the un-serious elements. One hopes that this time around our YOUTHS sent out on NATIONAL SERVICE will not be made the scape goat of yet another foretold FAILURE of the daft old soldier pensioner screaming "baboon & monkey soaked in blood"
egift: It is a Federal Road, if Jonathan did not abandon it, the State will have no reason spending their limited funds on the road.
Vote for Buhari so that FG, States and Local Governments will live up to their responsibilities.
Such as Lagos state (& its 57 LGAs plus LCDAs) that has been under one party one man rule of the national leader of the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC for almost 16 years with IGR (from our pockets, wallets, handbags and bags) increased over 34 times from 1999 to 2013, abi nor be so
This is what we got as progress from the progreTHIEVES =>
egift: N300 billion was budgeted for Subsidy payments and Jonathan ended up spending N2.3 trillion on it without being able to justify the increase and you see nothing wrong with it?
Kindly share with us the NASS report on the fuel subsidy fraud. Abi nor be the work of our SINators and representaTHIEVES to do oversight ni
Meanwhile you may wish to take note of the ongoing trials and recovery of the identified fraudulent payments =>
The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been drawn to the editorial comment entitled, EFCC’s Laughable Subsidy Theft Recovery, which appeared in The Punch Newspaper of Friday, November 28, 2014. The EFCC is dismayed by this editorial which is a horrible attempt to ridicule the Commission and denigrate its modest achievements in the investigation of the fraud in the oil subsidy scheme.
The announcement of EFCC’s recovery of over N5billion oil subsidy scam money, contrary to The Punch’s opinion was not intended for applause. Law enforcement is not show business, where actors openly play to the gallery to elicit raucous applause from spectators. It is serious undertaking which only those who understand the time, energy and resources that law enforcement officials invest in cracking a single case would appreciate. All the Commission set out to achieve by the announcement, which obviously didn’t impress the newspaper, was to inform the public about its activities.
It is a matter of regret that The Punch was so rankled by the announcement that it was prepared to stand logic on its head in the attempt to defame the Commission. The paper’s dismissal of the N5billion recovery tended to portray the sum as mere pittance. It speaks volumes about the times we are in, when even newspapers appear to have reviewed their expectations of the amount criminals must steal, or what is recovered from them, that should be worthy of mention on their pages. If N5billion makes no impression on The Punch, it is obvious that a case involving N500million or one in which N50million is recovered will be a non-issue.
The message which this attitude sends to the criminally minded is obvious: It is only when you steal in trillions that your case will interest a section of the media (led as we are being made to see now, regrettably, by The Punch).
While newspapers have a right to editorialize on any subject they consider important to the nation and their readers, this duty is expected to be carried out with a greater sense of responsibility than is on display by The Punch; which is why reputable newspapers all over the world staff their editorial boards with some of the most cerebral minds within and outside the journalism profession. The expectation is that whatever opinion is coming out of the board, which is passed off as the particular newspaper’s stand on an issue, will be the product of robust debate, a well researched piece crafted in elegant prose, not the hallucinations of lazy writers garnished with hearsay.
Unfortunately, The Punch editorial of November 28, 2014 miserably fails the test of an editorial in name and content, which raises crucial questions to why such a respected medium would elect to devalue its most prized page.
It is baffling that the editorial board of a newspaper in the mould of The Punch could not make a simple distinction between recovery made during investigation and proceeds of crimes recovered at the conclusion of prosecution of cases in courts. What the EFCC announced was funds so far recovered in cases in which investigations are ongoing, with the added information that the matters were all in courts, at varying stages of prosecution, with the prospects for more recoveries at the conclusion of trial, when the convicts will be made to mandatorily disgorge all illicit proceeds of crimes in monies and other assets to the victims of the crime, in this case, the Nigerian people.
If this is pardonable for the board, whose members apparently have no clues about criminal investigation and the easy-to-comprehend-for-the-average-person processes of assets recovery, the paper cannot save itself the blushes from the faux pass in passing off the Farouk Lawan/ Femi Otedola bribery case as an EFCC matter. Any average newspaper reader knows that the EFCC was never a part of the investigation of the Farouk Lawan/ Femi Otedola case not to talk of prosecuting the matter. Yet, The Punch had no scruples blaming the agency for the lack of diligent prosecution of the Farouk Lawan case! This is The Punch’s very well considered editorial opinion: “Even when the chairman of the ad hoc committee, Farouk Lawan, was reportedly caught in his own web, while allegedly collecting a $620,000 bribe to strike out the name of the indicted companies, the suspect still trots the Nigerian landscape, a free man. How can the EFCC explain that?”
EFCC has nothing to explain. Rather it is The Punch that has to explain its embarrassing gaffe.
A simple library research would have revealed to the newspaper that Farouk Lawan is not and has never been an EFCC matter. But, we can understand. Otherwise, how would the charge of indolence which the paper desperately wants to hang around the Commission’s neck stand, if unwary Nigerians are not fooled by garnished lies and plain inanities!
Even in the subsidy cases being handled by the Commission for which The Punch is incensed “That (EFCC) has the temerity to triumphantly tell Nigerians that a mere N5billion had been recovered,” there is no evidence to suggest that the Commission has not been diligent in prosecuting the cases, which are at various stages of trial in courts across the country. Of the over 40 subsidy cases initiated by the Commission, not a single matter has been thrown out by court, either for lack of evidence or commitment to prosecute. So, on what basis does The Punch want the EFCC crucified?
Perhaps the newspaper expected the agency to simply round up suspected subsidy thieves and clamp them in jail without going through the due process of the law to, as the paper claims, live up to its past ‘glory’ as an agency that “struck fear in the heart of politicians”. Unfortunately the law does not allow recourse to self help. Were it the case that EFCC engaged in self help to satisfy the blood thirst of The Punch, the same newspaper will accuse the Commission of employing Gestapo tactics and other high crimes (as indeed, many newspapers did in the past).
As Law Enforcement Agency, the duty of the EFCC is to investigate, gather evidence that can sustain a criminal charge and prosecute whoever is accused of a crime. This is exactly what the Commission has been doing in the subsidy case; it is not the duty of the EFCC to convict offenders! That is the exclusive province of the law courts, in case The Punch does not know!
Besides, those who have followed the subsidy trials and other high profile cases of the EFCC are familiar with the antics of accused persons and the many frivolous applications that slow the pace of trial. Tragically, The Punch, which pays such huge salaries to correspondents to cover the trials, betrays gross ignorance of the progress in respect of the same cases that it sermonizes about. In one breath, the newspaper pretends to be concerned that cases have not progressed in courts, and in another reveals its lack of interest in the cases. If it is not interested in a N1.2billion or N1.8billion subsidy case, what moral right does The Punch have to ask for explanations on their prosecution progress? The media cannot continue to select what cases to report and expect magic from anti- graft agencies, when they themselves have failed in their constitutional role to inform the people as the Fourth estate of the realm.
If The Punch is not interested in a N1.8billion case, it will be a tall order to expect it to show interest in the hundreds of cases that the Commission has charged to court in the last three years, prosecuted successfully and achieved convictions. It probably needs reminding that the EFCC recorded 117 convictions in 2013 alone; It needs to be reminded that the EFCC successfully prosecuted and secured the conviction of the son of a serving state governor on money laundering charges; It needs to be reminded that the Commission has secured a conviction in the pension scam for which about 20 other persons are still being prosecuted, while assets running into several billions of naira have been seized.
All these hardly fit the profile of an agency that is “in a gradual descent into irrelevance” (haba, Punch!). Today, it serves The Punch’s interest to talk glibly about internet fraud as petty crimes. We pray it never becomes a victim. The blind school teacher in Enugu whom the Commission helped to recover the sum of N550, 000 that fraudsters stole from her will not consider the feat negligible. For her, it is an opportunity to live again.
It should be apparent to discerning minds that The Punch editorial was not done in the public interest. EFCC is not adverse to criticisms, if they are constructive and are not over-spiced rumours from yesterday’s pepper soup joint leftovers.
The results of SYSTEMATIC dismantling of the corruption DNA in our societal fabric may be slow in coming but they are STEADY and more importantly they will be ENDURING unlike the "touch & go" flashy showbiz media-frenzy that went on during the second chance regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo.
jamace: Haba, true talk? Don't you know who Saraki is? See: Bukola Saraki was 8 years Governor of Kwara State under PDP and 2 years Senator under PDP. He turned Kwara into his personal estate. Ask Kwarans about Bukola attrocities.
Bukola is a waste product of PDP.
Which is why many have recognized the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC as a WASTE basket
femialiu: i am not a fan of ABS oo...but i was born n bred in Ilorin...it is height of political hypocrisy to say he achieved nothing in ilorin. He could have been a very corrupt politician, but infrastructure wise, he developed ilorin more than most of his predecessors, to mention a few, ABS built Kwara State first state owned university, re-modelled Ilorin International Airport, built a cargo wing, dualized offa-ajasse ippo express, built the road that linked tipper garage to basin, bukky built justice quarters in basin, he completed the unilorin road which lawal spoilt before leaving, GSS is 100years old and has produced more than 3 governors in kwara state including Lawal...but it was ABS that thought it wise to completely renovate the school and 3 others (aside from others in other LGA). He built the Kwara diagnostic center, lab scientist in kogi, ekiti n d surrounding states will testify to this. In the days of Bukky, Civil Servants earns their salary not later than 28th of every month (my dad was one), what BRF did in Lagos n was celebrated, ABS did it first in Kwara, he started the employing people to sweep the roads, planted flowers on the pavement...and even ensured UITH move to the Permanent site hereby freeing the general hospital facility for state use. Oduduwa road, gaa akanbi road and many more roads were built from the scratch by ABS, he attracted investors to an extent (Tuyil Pharmacy, Dangote Cement, KAM industries, Roemichs....) and don't also forget Kwara allocation is one of the smallest in Nigeria .....i can go on and on to mention his achievements in Kwara....however i am not saying he is not corrupt...but he definitely didn't leave Kwara the way he met Kwara...he developed kwara especially ilorin. i have been in Lag for over 5 years now and it is obvious BRF is working...but does it mean he is not corrupt? what ABS said is the truth, no biz man will give 2B naira if he is not expecting back...the money they gave belongs to us....we can stop them from taking more by refusing them our vote in Feb....
Thank you for the long list of what he did in Ilorin for eight whole years
- Do you know what the rate of Kwara state children who cannot go to PUBLIC school is? A rough estimate will do. - Any idea of how many Kwara state residents do not have access to PUBLIC primary health clinics & general hospitals that are well equipped and adequately staffed? - Is the whole of Kwara state provided with TAP water? If not, by what % did Bukola Saraki improved the coverage during his eight year tenure?
Do you know how many people would have been EMPLOYED if all the three issues ONLY were properly addressed by the rogue-turned-saint Can you also imagine how much the Kwara state economy would have developed as a consequence with PRIVATE investments flowing in to take benefit from the improved competitive environment and provide even more taxes and IGR to the state and its LGAs for even more EMPLOYMENT?
Let us stop giving excuses for the lack lustre performance of all these our Looters-in-Power (LiPs) please.
Coming from someone who made thousands if not millions of ordinary customer and even old pensioners cry & even die after looting their money in the defunct Societe Generale Bank to run his first Kwara state governorship elections Not forgetting the indictment for shady deals at also defunct InterContinental Bank. Real economic hitman
bayooooooo: Police Declare Senator Bukola Saraki Wanted Over $133.5 Million Bank Loan Fraud
The Special Fraud Unit of the Nigerian Police Force has declared the former governor of Kwara State, Bukola Saraki, wanted over a N21 billion bank loan fraud at the defunct InterContinental Bank of Nigeria.
An SFU source told Saharareporters that an arrest warrant is in place for the immediate arrest of the senator who went into hiding after a federal high court in Abuja cleared the way for his arrest on Thursday.
Only in our country will a rogue be forming "saint" and pointing accusing fingers simply because he is no longer in the ultimate chopping circle and KNOWS that most of his fellow citizens are certified, confirmed MUMUS!
