Nice one president daughter..but if I may ask were did u get d funds to do all these hope say no b 9ja money sha..

U started making sense, but I think u would prefer those who steal nd enrich themselves, build houses in Abj, nd overseas, than one who gives a helping hand to the less privileged in the society.... How much did the whole thing even cost, far less from what ppl like metu nd co have willfully volunteered to bring back. Nd for those making stupid comments, it's not ur fault, its the African nature, that's y Donald trump said we Africans and Nigerians in particular are only lazy nd only think about sex,, .no girl can get legitimate money but only through sex, when una daughters grow, remember to teach them that is the only way.....

Seems you guys never took time to read d news, the federal allocation for June, was made of 70% none oil revenue, so u guys can continue, at least person go get food chop, capital project go come later when exploration starts in d North

Qaddafi was not killed for humanitarian purposes but for the oil and for money. His ideas of an African gold-backed currency were his major undoing.

The recent Hillary Clinton email leaks have opened a can of worms everywhere including in Africa. Wikileaks released an unclassified U.S. Department of State document emailed to Clinton, dated April 2, 2011. Sidney Blumenthal, the sender of the email confirmed what the world already suspected. Qaddafi was not killed for humanitarian purposes but for the oil and for money. His ideas of an African gold-backed currency were his major undoing.

In April 2011, then President of the World Bank, Robert Bruce Zoellick spoke at a panel discussion about how he hoped the World Bank would have some sort of role in the reconstruction of Libya along with other countries.

“Reconstruction now means (Ivory Coast), it now means Southern Sudan, it means Liberia, it means Sri Lanka, I hope it will mean Libya,” he said.

To the ordinary person, this was the World Bank hoping to come in to help a failing state but to Economist John Perkins, the World Bank was not to be considered as fulfilling its supposed mandate. It was in actual fact a U.S. bank together with its sibling, the IMF. The United States controls about 16% of the World Bank while the second largest member, Japan has a paltry 7%. The United States again has around 17% voting rights in the International Monetary Fund. His point was that these institutions were and still are extensions of the Western foreign policy.

“So, we might ask ourselves: What happens when a “rogue” country threatens to bring the banking system that benefits the corporatocracy to its knees?” he asked later saying the Western empire has a standing army (NATO) to violently protect its position.

Libya was the “rogue” nation but the question is: Just what did Gaddafi have in mind?

According to the IMF, Libya’s Central Bank is 100% state owned and in 2011, it was estimated to have 144 tons of gold in its vaults. Muammar Gaddafi’s plan was to introduce a gold-backed currency which he hoped African and Muslim nations would adopt. He felt it could rival the euro and the dollar, and rightly so too.

Sidney Blumenthal, in his email to Hillary Clinton confirmed, “Qaddafi's government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver. During late March, 2011 these stocks were moved to SABHA (south west in the direction of the Libyan border with Niger and Chad); taken from the vaults of the Libyan Central Bank in Tripoli.”

He went on to say the gold and silver was valued at $7 billion and was one of the reasons Nicolas Sarkozy embarked on a French attack of Libya.

“Sarkozy's plans are driven by the following issues:

a. A desire to gain a greater share of Libya oil production,

b. Increase French influence in North Africa,

c. Improve his internal political situation in France,

d. Provide the French military with an opportunity to reassert its position in the world,

e. Address the concern of his advisors over Qaddafi's long term plans to supplant France as the dominant power in, Francophone Africa,” wrote Blumenthal.

If Qaddafi had succeeded, the United States of America and Europe would have been forced to buy oil and minerals in the gold backed currency thus tipping the scales. This was a horror the West dared not experience. The situation would have been a more lethal re-enactment of Saddam Hussein’s currency wars when he supported the new Euro currency at the expense of the United States Dollar. At this point, the U.S. was highly insecure about the effects of the new currency to its economy. Hussein’s decision to sell oil in the then new currency was a blow to the U.S. worsened by the proclamation that the dollar was the “currency of the enemy”. Currency wars have therefore been a fact of history with the Hussein situation being a peculiar intra-Western conflict that culminated in the Middle East instability promulgated by U.S. interventionist policies. That Qaddafi would be killed for planning to introduce an African currency to the fray is not surprising but that does not make it acceptable.

The leaked Clinton email has far-reaching implications on the fluid state of post-colonial relations with the West. If anything, it is an eye-opener. Where Africa seeks to build an independent economic structure, the West is seen to try and derail those plans so as to retain its primacy in world affairs.

With regard to the creation of a new currency, Ministry of Peace Founder, Dr James Thring said, “It’s one of those things that you have to plan almost in secret, because as soon as you say you’re going to change over from the dollar to something else, you’re going to be targeted.”

And Qaddafi was targeted. He may not have been the most democratic leader in the world but Libyan citizens had arguably the best way of life in Africa. His plan of action (without the human rights violations) should be a blueprint for African development.

Blackberrybabes:
The Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose on Tuesday said his criticisms of President Muhammadu Buhari was not borne out of his hatred for him but out of his conviction that at 73, Buhari was not strong enough to lead a complex country like Nigeria.

The governor, who spoke at an event organised by the Oyo State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists to celebrate the World Press Freedom Day in Ibadan, said those who voted for Buhari in the last presidential election did not know who he was.



He stressed that in the last one year, Nigeria had never had it so bad, noting that the fuel crisis, exchange rate of dollar to naira, killings by Fulani herdsmen and power situation were indices that showed that Buhari’s government lacked the idea to rule the country.

Fayose said, “People say that I abuse Buhari, I am not abusing him because he is like my grandfather but I know the history. Eighty per cent of people that voted for Buhari in the South-West did not know him. They are between 18 and 40. They voted because they wanted change desperately and I agree with them. He left government 32 years ago so they did not experience his rule.

“Today, the Peoples Democratic Party is no longer in government so they should stop blaming the PDP. They told us that dollars would become one to one with the naira. But where is that today? The regime of fuel subsidy is gone and we now have food subsidy. Queues are back at petrol stations. Whatever I say is divine. The next thing to happen will be the removal of the Kogi State governor. I have not lost a battle in my life and when I lost one, I came back to win.

“We have never had it so bad like in the last 12 months; electricity has gone to zero and we no longer have light in our houses. I am here to tell Nigerians that we are in the wrong direction because you cannot give what you don’t have. There is a time to retire because of the diminishing return on the functionality of the brain. At 75, my mother can do little.”

The governor also criticised the anti-corruption war of Buhari, describing it as biased.

“When you want to deal with corruption, do it wholeheartedly. Don’t say because this person has now joined the All Progressives Congress, he is now a saint. When I was supporting the ACN, they gave me many titles. Now that I am no longer with them, they see me as an enemy,” he said.

I do not blame Fayose, if he dos not speak against d president, he might lose d title of Leader of PDP, so in order to remain relevant to some set of persons he can afford To speak garbage. He thinks its easy to run a country, when states like his are acting as parasite to the federal Government, if there is no monthly allocation, they is nothing to eat, just like my Benue state. If the guy is busy like other governors we would not be hearing trash every day, he is not the only Governor from PdP. If Fayose thinks he has the best policies for moving the country 4ward y not state such policies @ d same time he condemns d@ of Buhari, so d@ Nigerians are able to compare and Contrast? He can only condemn, while it is easy to condemn, its not easy to formulate. If he cannot give his views den he should in the best interest of his image shout up, because it is doing more damage dan good, d average nigerian do not want to hear reasons, or why or criticism, der want answers nd result.

Saraki’: 17 Political Parties Ask CCT Judge to Resign


Seventeen registered opposition political parties on Wednesday demanded the immediate resignation of the presiding judge of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) Danladi Umar, for his alleged compromise and bias in the ongoing trial of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

The political parties also faulted the recent clearance of justice Umar from alleged corruption charges, saying, “the only way President Buhari could prove that his government is indeed more serious about fighting corruption is to direct an immediate investigation into the circumstances that led to the EFCC issuing this so-called letter of clearance to Mr. Danladi.”



Similarly, a rights group under the aegis of Coalition of Civil Society and Pressure Groups, have decried the occupation of the National Assembly by a group known as #OccupyNASS, alleging political motive behind the protest.

However while addressing newsmen yesterday in Abuja, the national chairman of Labour Party, Abdulkadir Abdulsalam, who spoke on behalf of the parties, alleged that it has become clearer that Justice Danladi Umar, has become an interested party in the case, hence, he should step down from the Saraki trial.

Some of the political parties represented at the conference include; Labour Party, LP, PPN, AA, MPPP, NCP, DPP and ADC among others.

“We believe his continued stay on the bench while this defendant is appearing before the Tribunal supports the conspiracy theory that there is an agenda to convict Dr. Saraki by all means. President Buhari needs to act now, not to stop Saraki’s trial but to ensure that the process of fighting corruption does not end up being even more corrupt than the corruption it seeks to eliminate.”

They said resent clearance... Naija, people can turn facts just in a matter of seconds to suit their biding, the EFCC found no sufficient evidence to prosecute UMAR, d@s was d reason for the letter of clearance, and the said letter was issued in March last year, even before Saraki, Buhari and d host of others came into power, nd the letter was written by the then EFCC boss Larmode Ibrahim, and not Magu, and the letter was addressed to Adoke, who was the Attorney General, during GEJ regime. And for the record the EFCC is not the Prosecution in this case but the CCB. I'm not calling UMar a saint, Saraki has refused to resign his post, as Senate President, facing trials in d docks, nd still presiding over planery sessions in d hallowed chambers,... Umar should remain der, when he is done with his judgement, Saraki or any aggrieved party for that matter can proceed to the APpeal Court period.. Let the guy do his job, no be today d allege bribe take place, 2012 I guess from then till now, they could not call for his resignation, bunch of CoWards nd Fools..

Nigeria is a failed Country quote me anywhere. Don't try to cover this. Since i was born, i have never seen a Country where a budget is being played like a nollywood film. Yet nobody is being held responsible for it, instead the fg is busy travelling from one Country to the other to accumulate more depth for us.

See this guy. U think its business as usual? When the budget is presented nd no serious review is done by the president before ascent? When d president is busy trying to see how things could be done in order, u r here spewing rubbish. If u hv followed d events surrounding fiscal document, nd privy to the level of distortion, den u would not be saying such things. As for Mr President nd his travelling, well u persons would always have something to say, if him no travel, una go call am local champion, now he is doing it una go still talk.

Look at his face like a capon. I'm not even bothered about this useless Senator for now. The Senator whose file should be visited by our anti-graft agencies is that stupid woman from Ekiti State (Sen. Olujimi Abiodun) who in a bid to support the bill for the amendment of CCB/CCT, said if they cannot help a neighbor (Saraki) in times of trouble, the trouble (CCT) may soon visit them. The woman even thought she was making sense!

Yes Bro!! The way I see it, it seem the country would soon have no Senate President, because d way everybody in d Red chamber is supporting d@ amendment, I fear oh! Dem go fear to even contest d@ office, who wan be next victim?

Officials of Shell, the multi-national oil firm at the heart of one of the largest oil heist in Nigeria, have been questioned by Dutch investigators for their roles in the deal.
PREMIUM TIMES had reported how Shell and Italian oil giant, Eni, agreed to secretly pay $1.3 billion to Malabu through the Nigerian government in 2011.
The money was meant for OPL 245, one of the largest oil blocs in Africa which was awarded to Malabu in 1998 when Dan Etete was the petroleum minister under the late dictator, Sani Abacha.
After Shell and Eni paid the money into Nigeria's accounts in JP Morgan bank, London, the federal government transferred $801 million of the money into Malabu accounts controlled by Mr. Etete in Nigeria.
Mohammed Adoke, the former Nigerian Attorney General, and Diezani Alison-Madueke, ex-Petroleum Minister, who both authorised the 2011 deals, have been on the run and have not appeared before anti-graft officials in Nigeria who are investigating the deal.
Mr. Adoke has denied any wrongdoing, saying he as Attorney-General only acted as an intermediary to resolve a multi-layered contentious matter. He said he is currently in school for an LLM at Leiden University in Netherlands, therefore, he could not appear before Nigerian anti-graft agency, EFCC.
While Mr. Etete later claimed he only got $250 million from the money, PREMIUM TIMES investigations showed the rest was paid as bribes to several officials of the Nigerian government under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, as well as some private officials including Bayo Ojo, a former Attorney General, who got $10 million.
Mr. Jonathan, himself, is being investigated for his roles in the scandal, after Italian officials found evidence of his activities.
"The suggestion from the wiretaps is that "Fortunato" was implicated and I am told that this was a reference in code (not subtle) to the former President of Nigeria, President Goodluck Jonathan," Justice Edis of the Southwark Crown Court, UK, said in December 2015, while refusing to release the last tranche of $80 million left in the Nigerian government account to Mr. Etete.
The OPL 245 deal, which is being investigated by officials in Nigeria, Italy, the UK and the U.S., has taken a new turn as anti-graft officials in Netherlands commenced their own investigations into the scandal.
Dutch investigations
The Dutch investigations is led by the Dutch Financial Intelligence and Investigation Service (FIOD) and the Dutch Public Prosecutor.
Infographic--Malabu
While some Nigerian media had reported that Mr. Adoke was also questioned by the Dutch authorities in relation to the deal, an official involved in the investigation described the report as untrue.
"Adoke was not interviewed," the official, who sought anonymity as he was not permitted to talk to the media, said. He, however, said they were aware Mr. Adoke was in the Netherlands and could be questioned as part of their investigations.
Shell has, however, confirmed its officials were questioned in relation to the deal.
"We can confirm that representatives of the Dutch Financial Intelligence and Investigation Service (FIOD) and the Dutch Public Prosecutor recently visited Shell at its headquarters in The Hague," a Shell spokesperson said. "The visit was related to OPL 245, an offshore block in Nigeria that was the subject of a series of long-standing disputes with the Federal Government of Nigeria. Shell is cooperating with the authorities and is looking into the allegations, which it takes seriously."
While the oil firm pledged to work with investigators, it restated its often repeated claim that it was not aware the money it paid was going into Malabu accounts.
"NAE (Eni's Nigerian subsidiary) and SNEPCo (Shell's subsidiary) each now hold 50 per cent of OPL 245, with NAE as operator of the block. Any payments relating to the issuance of the licence were made only to the FGN. No payments were made by SNEPCo to Malabu Oil and Gas."
Nigerian investigations
In Nigeria, the investigation of the OPL 245 deal is being led by the anti-graft agency, EFCC, which is working with the Attorney General's office, the Vice President's office, and the presidential committee on anti-corruption headed by Itse Sagay, a law professor.
PREMIUM TIMES had reported how the Attorney General's office recommended that the settlement agreements that ceded the oil bloc to Shell in 2011 be cancelled. It also recommended that Shell and Eni be prosecuted and fined for their roles in the deal. The office also recommended the prosecution of all Nigerian officials involved in the scam.
Summary of Malabu's history
A disagreement between the AGF's office and that of the Vice President, on who the bloc should return to, is one of the factors delaying the implementation. While the AGF's office wants the bloc returned to the original owners of Malabu, a similar resolution to that of the House of Representatives, the Vice President's office wants the bloc to return to the Nigerian government based on the fraudulent formation of Malabu.
PREMIUM TIMES had reported how Mr. Etete created a fictional character, Kwekwu Amafegha, to own 30 per cent share of Malabu at inception. The other owners then were Sani Abacha (son of late dictator Mohammed Abacha - 50 per cent) and the wife of Hassan Adamu (former Nigerian Ambassador to the U.S. - 20 per cent).
While the EFCC says it is still investigating the scandal, the chairman of Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-corruption, Mr. Sagay, recently asked that Mr. Adoke, who is central to the scandal, be declared wanted by Nigerian authorities

As a result of Code of Conduct Tribunal's decision to begin the much publicized trial of Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki on the false declaration of assets when he was the Governor of Kwara State.
Hence, I want to ask the learned colleagues on NL of the likely consequences of the prosecution of Dr Saraki in the event of his conviction.
What will become of his seat, as Senate President and Senator?
What will happen to the assets under consideration?
How will the vaccum or vacancy created by his conviction be filled by Kwara Central Senatorial District?

The first thing that would happen is that he would go to jail. Second every other issue would be resolved, because his departure from that seat can in no way hold the country to ransom. So let's wait, d'nt count ur chicks b4 der hatch

Yes u r right, she might not win at the magistrate court, but on any appeal she will, the magistrate made a serious legal blonder that gives the woman an upper hand in the case, a latin maxim used by lawyers says "Nemo Judex En cau sa sua" which means U cannot be a Judge in your own case! That's what the magistrate did exactly, she is d judge handling her own case, so the whole thing will turn out to favour the woman, sometimes anger take over reasoning, d magistrate should hv known better.... I stand to be corrected because I'm not a lawyer or a Law student.

It might interest U to know d@ I'm also from d same "Zone B", bit to be honest with U, I d'nt pray or wish for any xchange, d best is been contented with what u hv. See even d Idoma ppl have divided opinion about David Alechenu Mark. I'm surrounded by quite a lot of dem, nd I listen to their grievances. I prefer Akume, but also d facts must be said, he has not done much as most expected of him, remember his influence in government is not any where near d@ of David, who served d country as D no.3 citizen, nd we talking of a simple Minority leader, let me again point out d@ every appointment d@ was engineered by Mark was based on his capacity as d Senate president. Where were d appointments prior to 2007, were are der now d@ he no longer holds d office, if u have never been to Otukpo before I'll encourage U to take a day off nd see d man u wish u had, d only tarred road leads to his House. U know one 4ny thing about d Tiv ppl is d@ we are so divided d@ nd I remember how most of my friends were saying d@ der would prefer Saraki to emerge as Senate president over Akume, when he was still in d race. Nd if memory serve me well, I still remember d@ it was said d@ Akume lost d Seat of D senate President in 2007 because of his own brothers, joining forces with mark to 4str8 his efforts, yet we want him to do all does things. Untill we Tiv ppl learn to stand together nd give our unconditional support to our leaders, be it Akume, Gemade, Suswam, Ortom, not minding d political party, we go continue to complain oh!!!!

I believe this guy was planted in the Republican Party to sabotage any hope of the party winning the Elections. If he eventually wins in the primaries then Hillary Clinton (chief liar) would no doubt become the President, because with the kind of utterance Trump makes, it shows he has lost all minorities in the US. I think Trump's statement are a calculated strategy in a grand plan.

#teamtompolo

Guy stp d read newspaper upside down. Every arrest the DSS nd EFCC made on those u mentioned was legal, for Christ sake how many times u hear their Lawyers cry foul play? They know what happened. D court did not grant them immunity from further arrests, it only granted bail. Nd it was only for d charges d@ were b4 d court. So if u r linking Tompolo's case with buhari den it means understanding has being a problem for U.

Technically he has a point. So EFCC has to drag Anenih to refund the money Dasuki gave him.

If Anenih likes he can reach out to Falae to refund his part, Otherwise Anenih can pay it from his pocket

Its 100M we need whether its coming from Falae or from Anenih

My brothers U all are correct, he has a point. But haven't we heard that a friend of a thief is a thief? And also, once u are in possession of stolen goods U are culpable for the offence of theft, whether u knew that the goods were stolen or not, several persons have being tried for this and convicted. So yes olu can claim that he did not know were d money came from, but the money was stolen money, money meant for Nigerians, so he is again technically base less.

Kastonkastroll:
I have said this like a thousand times. Whatever dasuki or kanu case may be, one thing we will always come back to is our national security. People can say whatever they want or call the president all sorts of names, but they should never forget, no any human right or freedom of speech is greater than our national security. Buhari's greatest responsibility is to protect this country at all costs from internal or external enemies.

Someone should go and tell America that Edward Snowdon exercised his freedom of speech

True talk! I remember early last year when one certain Dasuki single handedly postponed the elections for sake of national security. Was it not the rights of. Citizens by then to vote and be voted for?.

[quote author=Johnmary2015 post=41558500]This may not be the best of time for President Muhammed Buhari as an Abuja based Constitutional Lawyer and Human Rights Activist who was once his ardent support has publicly disowned him and asking Nigerians to forgive him for lending his support to machineries that brought a Tyrant back to power.

Barrister Johnmary Chukwukasi Jideobi took to his facebook page where he called on all Nigerians to rise and stop President Buhari in his unconstitutional path. Find the full text below.

"What more can one say? I want to publicly APOLOGIZE to all Nigerians for ardently supporting the presidential bid of President Muhammed Buhari which eventually brought him to power. The strongest reason then for supporting him was that scandalous corruption was about bringing the country down, then I saw in him a man willing to save the situation. He promised being a changed democrat and I believed him.

Defiance of Court Order is indeed a "HIGH TREASON" if there is one like that in our penal books. It becomes the "HIGHEST TREASON" (if such exists in our penal books) if the defiance is unfortunately coming from the head and mouth of a democratically-elected President who shoulders the obligation of being the Enforcer of law in Chief. Sections 6 and 287 of the amended 1999 Constitution vindicates me. Until President Muhammed Buhari withdraws his unfortunate arrogant statement and apologizes to Nigerians, I withdraw my support for President Muhammed Buhari and apologize to all Nigerians for actively supporting the machineries that brought a tyrant back to power.

The Constitution of Nigeria is the plank upon which democracy is standing and if it is destroyed, democracy is gone. It is sacred and must remain inviolable. In law, nothing stands on nothing. If you put something on nothing, it will collapse. Open defiance of Court orders is literally rumpling the Nigerian Constitution and casting same to the trashcan.

Let it always be remembered and may history and historians record that at a time like this I rose to condemn presidential impunity. The time to rise and stop Mr. President Buhari in his unconstitutional path is now. I eternally believe Thomas Paine when he reasoned that "IF THERE MUST BE TROUBLE, LET IT BE IN MY OWN DAY THAT MY CHILD MAY HAVE PEACE" May God save Nigeria from Traitors. May God bless Nigeria and give her peace! I choose to say no more."

[s][/s]

Rubbish this is why I said that nairaland is full of people blinded by hate which makes them twist facts to suit their own bigot ways.

ok it's not about national security now
the high Court Judge granted kanu an unconditional release and i ask you did kanu got re-aressted or did dss controlled by the executive bluntly refused to obey the court order? .

answer that or forever shut up your buccal cavity there

Haha!! If those in favour of Kanu's ordeal are blind by hate and such cannot make informed judgement on issues relating to him, then it can be well asserted that most of who are loyal to his course are blinded by lust for self determination. Well for me, I gain absolutely nothing from his ordeal, I listened to Kanu's speech in US, just once nd then I said to my self, is it the type of person any sane nigerian would run down streets for? U d'nt just wage WAR!! Haba, I'm sure u guys know this, u first examine the cost and benefit, all this things apply in other aspects of life not just in the shop, u guys were happy when he was making all sort of noise, throwing comments here and there, where were U d@ u did not bring him to order or at least try other ways of self determination? U thought he was right? Oh yes, because of love, he is always right. Well in that case I would say I hate him, but to be honest with U I do not give a single concern whether he roams d street free, or has been kept behind bars. I d'nt know Y, National Security or Not, DSS determine when and on what grounds to arrest him. If u people think the DSS went against court orders then Kanu has a team of Lawyers, let them take up the case, it surprise me that even the ones that know d law are not even saying anything, its the laymen that claims to know what is what. A coin has Two faces, its about everything, treason nd national security, can u separate them? If u can, tell me.

the thing that baffles me was how some bigots and igbo haters like TonyeBarcanista passingshot and other people keeps defending this calamity and impending anarchy claiming national security blah blah blah and i ask this question :

why are they been prosecuted by court at the initial stage why not just line them up and kill them or just trow them in jail without any court rule since it's a matter of national security.

again why respect the court order that says they should be remanded and disobey the one that said they should be released is that not a dictatorial behavior and disrespect to prestigious court worldwide.

infact why bringing the court at the initial stage since you can just eliminate them on the ground of national security.

and you see the so called intellectual defending this anachy all in the name of hate. well not suprised because hate and bigotry can kill an intellectual.
this anarchy will backfire one day and those in support will be the same people that will cry impunity.

Just imagine when all those sacked politicians refuses to vacate seat on court order hmmmm it won't be nice at all

I suggest u vent ur anger and frustration on some other issues. U want to tell me d@ if someone is arrested and charge to Court for stealing, and subsequently released on bail such a person is now immune to an arrest for another CRIME. See d law permits rearrest, d@s Y when u are discharged and acquitted on a case u can not be arrested on such a case again! Was kanu acquitted? Negative, was he arrested on charges d@ he was granted bail upon? Negative, so U see u gat no case. Just wait for d man to prove his innocences b4 d courts. If DSS wants to arrest and charge Him on one count at a time d@s their problem, d law dos not hinder them. Oh before U confuse me for Yoruba person, I'm actually from Benue State. I hv no problem with Kanu nd his folks far East, neither do I affiliate my self with d OPC in the West, its jst d@ d truth must be accepted.

Buhari, Our National Interest and Court Orders
A step below President Buhari's present level of high-handedness only brings us back to the era of impunity that we voted Jonathan out for.
Nigerians are very forgetful of the past. Nigeria, under the watch of the Fmr President, could not successful keep terror suspects in custody because prosecutors failed to prepare a case. We had a system where court orders and injunctions stalled corruption cases and made a mockery of our fight to defeat corruption and insecurity across the country. This time, we have an executive that is willing to stretch its constitutional powers to keep Nigeria safe and recoup stolen fund, yet we're starting to paint the President as a dictator.

Kanu is a threat to our national security. In advanced societies, suspects are detained for issues as trivial as traffic offence to keep them in custody while a stronger case is put together, why must Nigeria be different? Societies with strong intelligence communities engage whatever means is takes to keep terrorists and extremists out of circulation, must ours be different? Indeed, there are global concerns with regards to ethical issues in national security and intelligence activities of nations; developing countries should not be singled out as if we are the only ones involved in such. Indeed, the primary responsibility of government is to ensure its people live neither in fear of terrorism, external aggression nor poverty and other factors that undermine their peace and safety while it also sustains the fundamental rights of its people. However, many advanced nations have passed through periods of national crisis when liberties were exchanged for greater security, the balance between both being restored after such crisis, and Nigeria is at that point right now.

Within the last 10-15 years, advanced nations have defied international charters against enhanced interrogation techniques, illegal rendition, detention without trial and all sort of measures all for the sake of national security. We have not resorted to this yet you're starting to paint us as bad. We have not rendered our terror suspects to Niger, as you did render yours to Egypt for torture, we have not built illegal detention facilities in Chad, as you've done in Cuba, Kanu has not accused our security agents of subjecting him to waterboarding as you've done to many of yours, so what is the fury about? We understand you did what was necessary for the safety of innocent people, just as President Buhari is doing the same. Nnamdi Kanu's illegal entrance into the country with equipment for the purpose of undermining our national security is enough to get us worried, and get a responsible President to act.

On the NIMASA ex-DG and Arms thieves, I doubt if there is any law in Nigeria or anywhere in the world that restrains the authorities from re-arresting a suspect on different charges after he/she has been granted bail on others. Hence, we do not have to blame the President for identifying measures within our laws to use against corrupt public office holders just to keep them from jumping bail. We had a soft-spoken, gentle-looking President whose lame duck attitude cost us $2.1 billion meant for the war on terror and drove us where we are today, but we have moved on. Now we have a stronger, more willing leader in President Buhari and the best we can do is support him to do whatever is right and just to keep us on the path of prosperity and security again.

As Nigerians we must understand that security is a collective task that requires the mutual cooperation of every citizen, and the understanding that our liberties will not be compromised as long as we remain law abiding and do not act in ways that endanger others, as Dasuki Sambo and his partners are alleged to have done to our soldiers and our countrymen up North. We need to understand that a man that literally sneaked into the country using unconventional methods can sneak out using same methods; that we lack the intelligence capability to keep tabs on all suspects, and just like in past cases, corrupt public office holders may escape justice by choosing not to return to Nigeria if they are allowed to pursue whatever medical excuses abroad and extradition is not as easy as it appears. We are protected as law-abiding citizens, and we have in President Buhari what we have always desired, a strong man with great political will to frustrate corrupt public office holders, a step below President Buhari's present level of high-handedness only brings us back to the era of impunity.

@ijigbami

You got the point, d problem is d@ most Nigerians are myopic, they d'nt see beyond their nose. Take the case of Kanu, he came into the country with neither of his two passports, what then would prevent him from leaving in the same manner? If his house is surrounded, people will still complain, I totally agree with the points you have raised. It will take a strong willed president, like Buhari to run nigeria, he is not ready to bow to pressure from any quarter, when the time comes for us to decide then we would, for now, the Show is his. Truly, I can not think of a better President at this point in time for Nigeria than Buhari

Before anybody complain, nd lash Buhari for receiving 2 jeeps from Dasuki, U pls try to understand the duties or functions of the said office Dasuki was occupying, one of such functions is "welfare of past Presidents/Heads of State". To be honest with U, when was d arms gate discovered? Was it after the discovery that the said jeeps were delivered and accepted? These are the questions we should be asking our selves. The office of the NSA has units that are saddled with the responsibility of providing for such welfare packages, what the ARMSGATE (2.1billion dollars) was meant for was political. From my own point of view, Dasuki is looking for ways through which he can spread his net and get people like Buhari implicated, so the allege crimes and punishment can be mellowed. Remember that Buhari worked with Dasuki for over a month before his sack, that was partly because of the report being submitted by his transition committee, he wanted to know fist hand what happened in that office, when somebody is wrong then we acknowledge, not trying to create artificial wars were there are non. Let's look at this scenario: a father gives stolen money to the child to pay for school fees, little did the child know how the father made the money came, after payment, it is found out that he stole the money, then you hold the child? First of all its the duty of the father to provide such money, and he has being providing it before, so the child knows its business as usual.
