While Governors Fashola's clean-up and greening of Lagos traffic medians may have limited tangiable impact on the larger issues facing Lagos such as high crime,

Jakumo:
non-existent sewage or waste disposal infrastructure

Jakumo:
NO previous Lagos governor has EVER spent as much time and money as Governor Fashola has done in cleaning up the eyesore that is Nigeria's commercial capital, and for this he deserves recognition as a mold-breaking pioneer for lasting good.

VUB:
All Nigerian male politicians are thieves, be they Yoruba, Hausa, Ibo, Edo, Ijaw, Calabar, Tiv, etc. What makes the difference is other Nigerian female versus Yoruba female politicians. Whereas Yoruba female politicians are mainly thieves, as we have starkly seen, their counterparts from other tribes are not. Even, Ita Giwa left Aso Rock recently, untainted .

mr arnoldvfrom mongolia i am defending illegality.when i talk of structure am refering to that part of our laws that at time allow a ref also be a player in the game.

superboi:
and for your information in this world there is no system that is not corrupt,name it(computer system,banking,food supply system) all system have their own inert level of corruption, but its up to us too continualy check and correct this systemic corruptions rather than change the operators everytime. you know in nigeria we have basically the same set of politician since 1966 but we keep change system operators that why in my view our systems are inefficient.

naijaking1:
The exact figure will emerge once the committee compiles and audits the account for the period in question.
Even the point of correction is not definite, untill the fat lady sings.

The central bank, finance ministry and accountant general of the federation have all
stated (at the house probe sittings) that the amount spent is around $5 billion. We should please use the
correct figures in our posts. Thx.

Soludo: More petitions flood presidency
20.04.2008


This is not the best of times for members of cabinet in the past civilian administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, following signals that the governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Professor Charles Soludo is under probe.


Already, the Federal Government had set up a panel to probe the withdrawal of $480 million from the CBN for the purchase of African Finance Corporation (AFC) and the manner the corporation was being run.

Sunday Tribune learnt from top Presidential Villa sources that he may be probed based on the litany of petitions written against him said to have been urging the federal government to investigate the manner Soludo had been running the affairs of the CBN.

Some of the petitions said to be in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) were said to have also asked the government to beam a searchlight on the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company Limited with a view to asking the CBN governor why the company had not been able to print naira notes since he assumed office.

Others were said to have sought clarification from Soludo on why Nigeria was patronizing a particular foreign based Company for contracts on the Printing of new naira notes. He was equally accused in some of the petitions of personalizing issues about the CBN.

Some of the petitioners, according to sources, had queried the rationale behind the decision by the government to rehabilitate the Security, Minting and Printing Company with huge sums of money contending that both Soludo and the Director General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), Irene Chigbue worked hand in hand on the rehabilitation project.


The excuse said to have been adduced for the rehabilitation of the Company was that such would make it suitable for the privatisation by the federal government, whereas the company has never been able to function optimally after being rehabilitated.

In all, some petitioners were said to have urged the ICPC to count on the current Minister of Finance, Shamshudeen Usman to assist in obtaining relevant information on how Soludo has been running the CBN since he was the second in command at the bank before becoming a minister.

Sunday Tribune learnt that President Yar’Adua had been shown some of the petitions which were said to have constituted a file load, and had reportedly expressed shock on the issues raised in each of the petitions.


The president, according to sources, had expressed indignation on the issues in the petitions and had hence directed a full scale probe of the allegations raised against the CBN governor.


There have been series of investigations into the activities of the past civilian government headed by former president Olusegun Obasanjo. The first to be initiated was that on power sector being anchored by the House of Representatives while the Senate too has started the probe of sales, allocations and revocations of landed and housing properties during the tenure of the past civilian regime.

superboi:
i think we should focus less on people in this country and more on the structure that is corrupted and bleed a lot of cash into nothing.

Uche2nna:
See, I don't care if You have your positives or negatives. If You are a thief , You are a thief and should be treated as such. I don't care what positives Soludo brought. It is part of the job as a CBN governor. He did not do it for free. He was paid for doing his job. However, his job does not include looting the Federal Govt of Nigeria.

romeo:
This forum is not a Yoruba man's forum!! but a Nigerian forum.

romeo:
You're are worse than anyother tribalist in this Nairaland, stop parading yourself as an upright Yoruba protector and stop attacking other tribes for the sake of peace.

I could go on and on

Run into a Nigerian anywhere in the world,he is more likely to be an Igbo man

It's just jealousy.

They are mad,we were not annihilated as Awo dreamt.

Awolowo is dead and rotted and the Igbo man has waxed stronger and stronger.
