Why is stealing is not corruption refusing to declare his assets?
What is he hiding if he is not corrupt?
Let them all declare so we can judge.

Just as the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC loves to spread LIES some of us must make it our duty to counter with the TRUTH and FACTS to dispel their MISINFORMATION campaign.

Vice President Jonathan Bows To Pressure, Declares N.2Billion In Assets

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.

In the assets declaration made public yesterday, it indicated that the vice president submitted his assets declaration before Justice Muktar Dodo of the Abuja high court on 30th May 2007, a day after the oath of office and oath of allegiance was administered on him.

Does anyone know of another elected officer still ALIVE who has also publicly declared his assets
Please provide the name of such a person and links to the details of such declaration.

The man is too big for such a hearing panel. Abi una don forget sey im na god to im millions of followers ni

Anyway nor be so our returnee old soldier also bin fail to appear before the Justice Oputa Human Rights panel?

What a LAWLESS "disciplinarian" of Do as I say but not as I do- bloody HYPOCRITE

berem:
This guy is funny! Why didn't you post the whole story instead of copying out the part that favoured your propaganda?

One would have thought that you would "post the whole story" if indeed you have anything interesting that contradicts what is in the OP.
Do you

donphilopus:
You forgot to tell us that GMB objected, when his fellow Muslim Officers requested that Fridays should be declared work free day for them, just like how Sunday was work free day for their Christian Counterpart.

Kindly provide the link to this your STORY about the old soldier rejecting the Friday work free day suggestion.

Why is it that the positive SPIN stories about Buhari NEVER have a credible link

Re-packaging nor dey easy oh, I swear!

This a very good price trend post.

However it does NOT tell the whole story without the

- exchange rates,
- staus of our refineries &
- crude oil price.

galadima77:
left for for me, most northern politicians are lazy and it's attributable to free 'oil money'. How does one expect these governors to look inwards and harness whatever resources that abounds within their states ( besides, there's hardly any state in Nigeria without its own form of blessings) when they know very well that something substantial is bound to fall in from Abuja every month....worst still is the loans they collect and nothing to show for such, all because of anticipation of oil money.

so back to your question, why would any sincere and ambitious leader be afraid of true federalism and even 80 percent resource control? Corruption!!! personally, i'm of the opinion that all states should av total control of their resources and remit taxes to d central government...that would even curtail the clamor for state creation, crazy loans, crave for political offices by thieves and trust it will stimulate growth in the long run.

Oga Galadima, many thanks for your post o jare.
Not only northern governors but all the 36 state governors and WORSE still the 774 LGA chairmen are very lazy buffoons sharing oil money rather than exploit the values in their own locality.

Jarus:
This is not a good choice abeg.

At least 2 things are wrong here

1, No SS or SE on the ticket. These 2 regions are known for solidarity (our son) votes. SW don't need their son on ticket to vote for anyone. Plus, at this point in time, SE and SS see APC as Yoruba/Hausa party. They have provided more reinforcement to this.

2, APC need someone with already established visibility. Osinbajo doesn't satisfy this.

Amaechi or Oshiomole or even Rochas would have been better choice.

Osinbajo is a DUMMY i.e.a place holder for the JagaBandit who is dribbling everyone. He will soon run out of MUMU people to dribble except his very own self.

ISpiksDaTroof:
Shut up, you hypocrite! When he went at it alone without the "corrupt" individuals how many of you voted him?

Thanks for your admission that the PRETENDER-in-Chief has a bunch of corrupt crooks like himself to increase his war chest for next year's elections.
Duly noted.

IBROHIM:
so Jonathan dropped the rates? The rates have been dropping before he became known in Bayelsa!

Logic fails you!
QED!!!

Mogidi:
I think it is being taken out of context, politicized and repackaged, saying: "the president bears the burden of the nation like Jesus Christ shouldered the burden of Christians" is hardly a comparison.

There's no way someone as media savvy as Okupe would compare GEJ to Jesus.

He should NOT have used such a silly comparison in our deeply religious country.
It is pointless making statements that are open to easy misinterpretation by people, especially your propaganda-prone detractors. Don't you think so

Nnamdi Emmanuel:

On June 28 2007, Vice President Goodluck Jonathan placed his life on the line, by travelling to Okerenko, visiting the notorious Camp five, where he held a seven hours meeting with all the leaders of the militant camps in the Niger Delta. He made the trip without a single security detail. The whole world stood still. For seven hours he was incommunicado. Global leaders feared the worst. He emerged from the creeks later, shaken but resolute. He came out of those creeks with a commitment from the militants and the Niger Delta disarmament program was borne. Normalcy returned in the region. The bloodletting ceased. Oil production tripled and the government could breath again. In 2012, the leadership of Jama’atul Ahlis Sunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad aka Boko Haram named General Buhari as the number one mediator they will listen to for peace to reign in the north east. The spokesman of the group, Abu Mohammed Ibn Abdulazeez, who doubles as the Second-in-Comma nd (Amir) to their leader, Imam Abubakar Shekau, made the group’s intention known in a tele-conference with journalists in Maiduguri. General Buhari declined the offer.

If Buhari truly loves this country, he would have taken that offer. But NO. That would have been a victory for the Jonathan government . So he declined the offer, rather promising to end the insurgency when he becomes President. Does this man deserve our vote? I don't think so. If we have to elect you as President before you assist the government in quelling an insurrection in your region, who will help us quell the crises if it erupts in other region. Be wise. Stick with facts. A vote for Buhari is a cowering to the dictates of terror. A vote for Buhari is a submission to hand over your mandate by the dictates of guns and blood. Vote President Jonathan . We will surely win the war against terror and secure our future. God bless Nigeria

I think that below is a better DATED reference to Jonathan's visit to the Creeks in 2007 as VP =>

Niger Delta: Life in the Creeks
Monday, July 21, 2008 - By MURPHY GANAGANA, Abuja

Curiously, Government Ekpompolo a.k.a Tom Polo, who is the leader of Camp 5, has kept government and security top shots in suspense with his mode of operation. And his creed seems to be less talk and more action. Described as a focused, principled and courageous warlord, Ekpompolo is reputed to have four major camps, and his home is a Mecca of sorts for politicians as well as top government officials including some state governors in the Niger Delta. In fact, as part of the Federal Government’s search for peace in the troubled region, Vice President Goodluck Jonathan had also visited Camp 5 without any security detail, a move which ruffled feathers in military circles. And General L.P Ngubane, immediate past commander of the Joint Military Task Force in the Niger Delta did not mince words in expressing his dismay.

“It is disconcerting that Camp 5 has become a pilgrim centre for some important politicians, especially those from the Niger Delta. These constant visitations to a known criminal legalizes the activities of the militants, embolden and empower them financially and emotionally. For example, the Governors of Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta states at various times after their inauguration, visited Camp 5. Recently, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria also visited Camp 5 on June 28, 2007 without security details accompanying him just because the militants said so.”, he wrote in a memo reference TFRH/25/G, addressed to the Chief of Defence Staff, General Owoye Azazi.

While Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan put his life at stake to negotiate peace with militants so that MORE Niger Delta oil revenue can flow into the national coffers to be shared by the 36 states and 774 LGAs our so-called, over-packaged "brave & courageous" old soldier could not take up the nomination by Boko Haram to negotiate in COMFORTABLE Saudi Arabia for peace in his own region.

Boko Haram wants talks …picks Buhari as mediator, Saudi Arabia venue …demands ex-gov’s arrest, compensation

U are a lair, Jonathan represent anti christ,in his term in office no good road,no free eeuction, no good quality hospital built of restored back. U are a beneficary of his looth.

While I have called the statement from Okupe stewpid that is no excuse for you or others to tell & share LIES about the good works of the Jonathan/Sambo administration-

Specifically, users of the notoriously ABANDONED Benin-Ore road testify to the good rehabilitation done there while the Lagos-Ibadan express is also being worked on rapidly after years of NEGLECT by the solicited "navigator" of the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC notwithstanding that the General Bully-Aminu is an Omo Onile (Son of the Soil) and RULED us for eight WASTED years

Free education for nine years is the constitutional RESPONSIBILITY of the 36 states and 774 LGAs to which the federal administration provides MATCHING grants through UBEC as per attached table.
Please I implore you to get KNOWLEDGE and stop making a fool of yourself in a public forum like this with half-baked information

B4 year 2000 when d PDP brought in Pentascope to loot d company, Nitel made more profit than most banks. It paid all its bills & financed all its projects. In yr 2000, Nitel MD, prof Bajoga left N15b & USD 200m in Nitel coffers. Within 20 months Pentascope looted about N105 billion without installing even a single line, either fixed or mobile. Pentascope looted all incoming revenues & borrowed heavily. dis was d beginning of d Nitel problem.

First of all kindly provide credible links to your STORY of NITEL making MORE profit than banks and remitting it to the Federation Accounts before 1999.

Meanwhile, are you talking about these two characters

Atiku lied about Pentascope deal –El-Rufai


A former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory under the Olusegun Obasanjo administration, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, has said that a former Vice-President, Abubakar Atiku, lied when he a[b]ccused him of imposing the Pentascope management contract on the defunct Nigeria Telecommunitions Limited.[/b]

El-Rufai was the Director-General of the Bureau for Public Enterprise when the Federal Government entered into a contractual agreement with a Dutch firm, Pentascope, to manage the nation’s telecommunications firm, NITEL, on the eve of the privatisation carried out by the Obasanjo administration.

El-Rufai said that Atiku, who was Chairman of the National Council for Privatisation, gave a written approval to enter into a contractual agreement with Pentascope to manage NITEL on February 21, 2003.

Are both of them not born-to-gain leaders looters of the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC today
Is Obasanjo not being begged by Tinubu to be the "navigator" of their national ship?

No wonder it is said that APC is the WASTE basket for rejected, expired by-products of PDP

This statement from Doyin Okupe is very stewpid!
No more, no less!!!

arsetalks:
Some of your points are good globally but when you bring them to Nigeria's level, you will know they are not tendable here.

That is a CONVENIENCE lie for doing all sorts of chaotic, knee-jerk solution proposals that will NEVER address our issues FUNDAMENTALLY
Nigerians are human beings just like other human beings around the world- in Europe, Asia, America etc.
No difference in our INTELLIGENCE level. The main difference is how/whether we use that God-given intelligence with determination, perseverance knowing that any MEANINGFUL sacrifice and suffering today can only make tomorrow better for us ALL.

1. Why is it that diesel which has been deregulated for a while now has its price still extremely high. What makes you think same will not happen to PMS when deregulated?

While I do not have all the details of the TREND of diesel price since its deregulation I can already say that deregulating diesel in ISOLATION while other refined petroleum products are still subsidised and regulated CANNOT allow & encourage much needed private investors to come into the sector that will lead to competition and price REDUCTION down the line.
Moreover have you considered the impact of INCREASED economic activity on the consumption of diesel

2. We shout of scam in fuel subsidy, whose fault is it? Is it the fault of the citizenry or that of the government? Why is it that not a single person has been jailed over this fuel subsidy scam thing we all shout about? Is it the citizenry that will prosecute and recover money from the fraudsters?

This Jonathan/Sambo administration is dealing with the subsidy scam issue SYSTEMATICALLY and in line with what is done in any CIVILISED society- you follow Law & Order.

When?

How clueless can u get?. Where ar d huge funds realised frm d sale of gsm licences?. They looted it & did not even deem it fit to plough some of it back nto improving infrastructure dat will help d country & d gsm companies. because of poor infrastructure & inadequate power supply gsm prices in nigeria is still among d highest in d world. Is it power dat they provided or ar they d ones providing d air dat is being used by gsm?. Govt only reaped & is still reaping frm huge profits being made by gsm companies frm hapless nigerian masses.

Na you clueless pass. Worse is you don't even realise and think you are smart.

How do YOU know the received GSM licence fees were not paid into the Federation Account and shared, as usual, with the 36 states and 774 LGAs?
HOW do you know

NITEL was receiving subsidies and annual budgets yet providing no telephones
Now we have MILLIONS of lines, additional revenue and EMPLOYMENT.

What exactly is your complaint again

chronique:
If only we were refining our own crude here,all these arguements and counter accusations,would have been avoided. Unfortunately,the corrupt system would never allow refineries work. From 1999 to now,billions have been spent on reviving the refineries but the same cabal who want to keep making billions from fuel imports,have always found a way of making our refineries not work.

This is NOT so much about any cabal.
No, it is NOT!

It is about our clueless rejection of the subsidy removal & DEREGULATION of the petroleum sector. We would have suffered higher prices initially as with mobile phones & cement but with-

- new investors
- increased supply
- increased COMPETITION

price will start REDUCING after a while.

A clueless fool who does not sacrifice today will be a SLAVE to his neighbour who did, tomorrow.

What are these amounts in Nigeria?

seunincanada:
From his latest book- "My Watch", Obasanjo has dis to say about Buhari-
“Gen. Muhammadu Buhari is an upright man. Not many people know that his first daughter is married to an Igbo man from Anambra. He exempted Christians from performing duty on
Sundays. When his Muslim soldiers asked him to exempt them from duty on Friday, he told them the bible says Christians should rest
on the 7th day, the Muslims should show him where the Koran says they should rest on Fridays.”
As Head of State he slashed the number of Muslim going on pilgrimage by 50%. His driver and cook for the past 10 years plus are Christians yet some uninformed Nigerians say he is a bigot. It is a pity that some people failed to understand that PDP deliberately capitalised on the gullibility of Nigerians to
paint him black. This they did in order to keep their loots and ensure that he never gets the opportunity to send them to jail.
How many Nigerians would hold the appointment of government, minister of petroleum, PTF chairman and head of
state yet don’t own a house in Abuja? He hasonly one house and never kept a foreign account.
Love him, hate him you cannot take his integrity away from
him.”

The great man's defence

Sources from within the PTF Interim Management Committee assert that when Gen. Buhari was invited to comment on the findings of the committee's consultants regarding the conduct of the empire over which he presided, he coyly retorted that he was not aware that such massive fraud went on his watch, but that in any event, he could not have benefited personally from the hideous purloining of the treasury.

Why does General Muhammadu Buhari continuously ABDICATE RESPONSIBILITY as the overall head of an agency even as overall head of state for two years

A man who is too clueless to know what to do and

- waits for orders/instructions from others
- then goes on to claim he "was not aware" of happenings under his watch

is being sold to us by the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC as our messiah
What an affront on our intelligence!

Kenai:
And you're in here trying to give me lectures on a place I've lived all my life?
If your Buhari really worked in the South-East, his works shouldn't be hard to find. Give us pictures of any of the so-called PTF classrooms he built during his tenure. Hell, even 3-D models would do just fine. In fact, ANYTHING, even if it's propaganda! Just give us any evidence that he worked in the South-East instead of this rubbish fable up here.
