Buratai bought Dubai properties with personal savings — Army

Buratai: The Dubai Landlord And His Magic Of 'Personal Savings' By Emmanuel Uchenna Ugwu

Buratai’s narrative is a reconstruction of the reality of a theft meant to extricate the thief from his anti-social deed.


Thanks to a recent revelation that exposed the two mansions he procured in Dubai while serving as the Director of Procurement at the Defense Headquarters, the character of Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, the present Chief of Army Staff of Nigeria, has become fuller and rounder.

Before now, Buratai was a single story persona. He was definitively profiled as the civilian-hating author of the massacre and mass burial of 347 Shiites in Zaria. Now he has revealed that he is more than a waster of blood: He is also an extraordinary saver of treasure!

By way of defense, Buratai chalked up his ownership of 120 million naira houses in Dubai to his capacity for thrift. He said he grew his widow’s mite. He saved and saved and saved his salaries…until he had enough foreign exchange to make himself a double landlord in the United Arab Emirates!

Taken at face value, this is an inspiring tale. It’s a powerful object lesson in parsimony. It teaches that all things are possible to an everyday person if he can define a goal for himself, tame his appetite, and practices the discipline of delayed gratification.

Except that the tale is intrinsically false. It is not a testimony of prudence - by any stretch of the imagination.

Buratai’s narrative is a reconstruction of the reality of a theft meant to extricate the thief from his anti-social deed. His widow's mite saving is a patent lie. It is an incredible truth told by a desperate robber who is less eager to expiate his crime than he is to justify his possession of the stolen goods.

Buratai told an incongruous legend. The cost of his two Dubai mansions is not a sum of the savings of the unspent fraction of his soldier's salary. He couldn’t have possibly bought the houses that are significantly above his earning with his wages. He procured the house some other way he is not proud to divulge.

The Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs . Winifred Oyo -Ita , has said President Muhammadu Buhari is aware of the reinstatement of a former Chairman of the Pension Reforms Commission , Mallam Abdulrasheed Maina, into the civil service.
She however said she warned the President against it .

Oyo - Ita said that her warning was based on the implications such reinstatement would have on the anti - corruption war of the Federal Government .

The HoS stated this in her memo to the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr. Abba Kyari .
The memo , with reference number HSCSF/ HCSF/ LU/ COR/FCSC/ 750 / T, was dated October 23, 2017 .

The memo , titled , “ Re : Abdulrasheed Abdullahi Maina, ” was received in the office of the Chief of Staff to the President on October 23.

A copy of the memo was sighted by our correspondent in Abuja on Monday .

The President had directed the HoS to investigate the circumstances that surrounded the return of Maina to the civil service.

He gave the directive following the public outcry that trailed Maina’ s reinstatement.

Maina, whose whereabouts is still unknown , has been accused of embezzling pensioners ’ funds running into billions of naira and is currently under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Explaining further , the HoS said she met the President after the Federal Executive Council meeting of Wednesday, October 11 , where she verbally warned Buhari against bringing Maina back to the service.

The bodies of at least 74 migrants have been washed ashore in western Libya, in the latest tragedy along the dangerous trafficking route to Europe. The Libyan Red Crescent posted photos of dozens of bodies in black and white bags lined up along the shore near the western city of Zawiya.
A spokesman for the aid organisation said there were still bodies floating out at sea as the agency had no way of retrieving them. He said the migrants were all adults, mostly from sub-Saharan African countries, and all but three were men.
The UN migration agency, the International Organisation of Migration (IOM), said the dinghy had set off on Saturday with 110 people on board. The agency said traffickers deliberately took the engines from the boat and then abandoned it to drift.

This people are fuvking hypocrite, they all be acting up like he knows each and everyone of them.
BBC interviewed some of Iran citizens and their response was shocking

Response 1: i do not buy this argument that Qasem Soleimani had only been dealing with foreign affairs [as the commander of the Quds Force], or that he had nothing to do with the repression that ordinary Iranians are suffering from.

Soleimani was one of them [Iran's leadership]. If we are against this repressive regime, we are against every single person who is part of it.

Response 2: Qasem Soleimani was not a hero, in my opinion. He was a basic soldier, overrated by the establishments in Iran and the US.

People are being too emotional about his death.

Anyways we would be waiting for their attack and see how their country becomes totally wasted

Oly23:
According to Islamic rites is he not supposed to be buried within 24 hours of his death, and should be buried wherever he died? Or not?

It is obvious many Dunce dont understand what the defence minister is saying or the consiquencies of a war in Libya
Libya is directly above us few miles away, any further increase in crisis in libya means the fighers and armed militia would only travel down south as north of their country is mediteranian sea... Nigeria seem to be the terrorist destination because we have money to pay hostage takers
..

CreekCommando:
This looks good! But you guys need to support the South East the way they supported Abiola and Obasanjo to actualize their ambition. The North is becoming a monster and if the South East and South West cannot make their indigenes trust themselves or even work together, by the time you die, you too would have created another misconception like Zik and Awo did. Our education should be used to solve problems. I see where America could wake up one day and balkanize this country. Think about this!

Pavarottii:
From bayelsa.. But I like this... It will help them security wise... Keep up the good work.

gbadexy:
They should leave us alone then and not under the guise of helping instigate crisis to benefit from it.
Whether we like it or not, they were created with superior intelligence by default and would always be more powerful than even other races like the arabs and asia.

Late Ekwuueme and other non Yorubas slugged it out in the primaries with OBJ so stop the lies

This government should better leave Lybia case alone as Nigeria already have multiple security challenges.

ThreeBlackBird:
You didn't even take your time to read the news, you only read the letter. The letter is old news.

Trump is saying they would not leave because they have an expensive military base in Iraq and if they are forced to leave, Iraq would be terrible sanctioned in a way never seen before. They also have to pay for their military base and its maintenance they've carried out over the course of the years.

Mynd44:
His point is that they should play politics that is outside their comfort zone. It is obvious that you can't be president of Nigeria without winning in other zones and how is that done? By going outside your zone to be appealing to others.

No one will vote for you because they feel it is your turn, it sounds good and "fair" but to be honest, it might not happen.

ThreeBlackBird:
He's threatened they wouldn't leave because they have a military base there and if they are forced to leave, he'll give them the greatest sanctions ever. What else?

Techdra:
Wtf so you're forcing yourselves on them now? America has lost it under Trump oh! Overjoyed sh*t...

ThreeBlackBird:
Iraq has lost its sovereignty.

Leave that thing. Jonathan was an symbol of corruption. That's why no world leader wanted anything to do with him. He institutionalized corruption nationally and he was a global embarrassment. Don't you see how the Bishop of Canterbury is good friends with Buhari even though he is a Muslim? Which world leader was proud to be seen with Jonathan?

Foolishbuhari:
I don't think he was making excuses. He was merely stating facts as they were while you are busy looking for holes to pick at because you know what the gentleman says is true.

It's no secret there was massive sabotage in the military during Jonathan's government. At a time he didn't even trust what the generals said he had to personally access and observe. The Col. Abu Ali whom y'all know today, became popular due to the role these Mercs gave him to play in their mop up strategy against Boko Haram. I have friends and personal acquaintances who fought alongside these guys and I can tell you moral was never so high like when those guys got involved.

It would shock you to know that Col. Abu was killed by friendly fire from behind and not a remnant of a BH attacking crew like they want you to believe. Ask any soldier who served along that period and they'd tell you this hence they quickly wrapped up his case didn't do any investigation after the fact and hurriedly buried him citing Islamic burial rites.

These to you would also be making excuses so I'd leave you to your whims and conscience. But after what the dull general said before coming into power, I'd have thought BH would be a thing of the past by now

Firefire:
I am really worried about the increasing death toll...

Buhari said: “If you elect me as the President of Nigeria on February 14 (now March 28), I am assuring you that our government will chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria within two months because it is the responsibility of any reasonable government to secure the lives and property of its citizens.”

you can say that again, very very useless. In fact the started terrorism. Check your history you can see that they were the ones that started the KKK, a well known white supremacists terrorist organization, under Democrats police brutality in the US rose at it's peak, the support global jihad and destroying countries...

gbadexy:
I watched the interview on aljazeerah. It was a very insightful interview.
He did mention the conflict in libya and said the UN should have settled the two warring factions. And other african countries and the incompetency or complicity of the united nations in preventing conflicts like the massacre in rwanda were they were just there to observe.
They fuel crisis and sell weapons and eye their oil. He said they didn't bother with Zimbabwe because they had no oil but countries with oil would always have crisis fueled by various external forces.
The west are just playing games with africa and have their own interest and agenda.
