They are related.
As it is said, the anointing flows from the head downwards and not verse versa. When yout see citizens cooking up things and wasting their time and resources for fun, then look at the spirit over them-the government-as their source of inspiration.
A servant cannot be greater than his master. The lies, if it must be controled, must start from those holding positions of trust.

Let me ask you: You said "hold the government and hold the rumor mongers responsible together;" who will do that and how?

This is a democracy and your religious analogy is totally misplaced. The people vote the govt into power and the govt is responsible to the people. We the people must hold our government at every level accountable. We must also hold ourselves accountable as a community. The first step is to point out wrongdoing wherever you see it. That was what I did with my initial post. I was holding the OP accountable for his own personal actions as an individual and you should too.

iaamxavier:
I visited my friend this morning why is it not on NL front page!

Because you and your friend are nobodies.

Odiegwu

If these poor and wretched Nigerians are allowed to their fate, they could even beg politicians to pass a law enabling the rich to eat the meat of the poor - just as long as they themselves, as snitches, are not eaten.
Your writeup is an epitome of frustration.
How many years will you jail the fed gov for banning post ume today and then putting a price on it tomorrow, pegging pms at 87 today and then turning it to 145 tomorrow...and the likes?
It's the lies the gov sells that citizens dissect.

What are you talking about? And how does your comment relate to my post? Are you saying we cannot hold the govt responsible for their actions and also hold citizens responsible for their actions at the same time? Spreading false information through media has led to violence, civil war and genocide in other African countries. Are you suggesting that we should allow people to continue spreading lies and misinforming the public? Let us fight lies wherever they may occur, whether from the govt or from dishonest posters on Nairaland.

This is why the social media bill is desperately needed, so that people like the OP can be arrested and jailed for 10 years minimum.

bonechamberlain:
274 million or billion. Nnpc making such low amount in a month, might be an error.

U have to give kachikwu kudos, he is really doing an excellent job, but unfortunately the illiterate has put him in a useless position.

Didn't you read the article? NNPC has not made any money at all in any month for the past 15 years. They only report losses, in billions per month. This is the first profit they have made in 15 years.

TrueSenator:
Say what you may wish to say.......Dasukigate is a revenge move ...... this is only my opinion and not subject to any form of debate .

Otherwise.....there are so many mammoth GATES that've been ignored by this administration.

The only debate that really matters is whether Dasuki is innocent or guilty. And only a court of competent jurisdiction can determine that. Revenge or not is irrelevant.

I thought Ghana was an oil producing country itself now.

Askmewhy:
What kind of rubbish is this? What else do they want from these MDs?

They want justice. Under Jonathan they got away with their crimes. Now Lady Nemesis has returned for them.

FuckTheMods:
jeez wow so informative and do sharks obey them considering the fact that sharks are much stronger than they are

You are obviously not as smart as you think you are. Obey them? Did they give the sharks verbal commands? Or are they creating a distraction to enable human divers to escape. There are several reported accounts of dolphins coming to the rescue of humans being attacked by sharks. Google it.

Aisha96:
I am ashamed of myself for being a muslim.

You are not a Muslim. You're a liar and you're not fooling anyone.

obaino860:
Ekiti man,is ambode your governor?

Yes Ambode is my governor. My mother's family is old Lagos and I have lived here all my life.

McJane:
He is payed to do his job why all this media publicity?

How many governors in Nigeria are doing their job? Who is your governor sef?

PDP already had their chance and failed. Personally I think only KOWA can solve Nigeria's economic problems.

rose54321:
And yet Nigeria was united, your post just shows how good of a leader Jonathan was.

He might have been corrupt, but he gave all Nigerians a sense of belonging. I am not against Buharis administration but he needs to sit up particularly with his sectional appointments.

Nigeria was united because the north and southwest did not react to Jonathan the way easterners are reacting to Buhari now. Jonathan marginalized the west and ignored our complaints but you never heard of any threats to split the country back then because we are patriots.

Mopolchi:
Hmmm. All Nigeria banks' CEOs, directors and managers are very guilty of the same wrongdoings. Why dealing with Skye bank?

You are the problem of Nigeria. You and your useless demented mentality. Nigeria must develop whether you like it or not.

maafen:
Since when has salary paying become an achievement worth reporting like this?
APC nonsense

Yet several PDP governors are still not paying anything.

macherie1:
This is worse than sack. The Headline should have read "Demoted". Kachiku who used to control NNPC will now be reporting to the minister as Chairman. Kachiku should save his face by resigning. I sincerely hope he does.

Kachikwu is still the minister for goodness sakes. How can he be reporting to himself? Also the new GMD will report to him in his double capacity both as Chairman and minister. You wailers are irredeemable.

JonSnow:
Unrepentant, irredeemable zombie.

Unconscionable, incorrigible wailer. You people have nothing but insults. You will lose even bigger in 2019.

mej67:
Liar!

OK, that's harsh.

Trainee Liar!

Which part of my comment is a lie? Be specific.

The campaign is long over. Buhari won. Wailers wailed and continue to wail. No need for Sai Buhari again.

Sack or promotion? From GMD to Chairman of the board.

pippimp:
Lol....whatever rocks your cradle. If it makes you happy to believe that then by all means, go ahead.

Why are otherwise quasi-intelligent people so immune to facts like this? Sadly it isn't just a Nigerian phenomenon.
Read it and weep my friend. Facts at your disposal.

Leebeedo:
Ask GEJ where the money came from since he's the giver. By the way, why is GEJ not arrested ?

That is the same excuse the Nazis used when they were put on trial for their crimes after World War 2. "I was merely following orders. My boss gave me the instructions. My superiors told me to do it, ask them." That is no excuse my friend. Many were sentenced to life in prison or even hanged because following someone else's instructions is not an excuse for committing a crime. God gave all of us a brain to think for ourselves and a conscience to know right from wrong.
Regarding GEJ, it was widely reported during the last elections that the two major presidential candidates had struck a deal moderated by the US under John Kerry's influence and local interest groups led by Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar. They both promised that whoever lost would be given total immunity from prosecution. It was in the news at the time. Also PMB was recently quoted to have said that he would never forget the kind gesture of GEJ in conceding defeat so quickly and graciously. I think it is safe to say that GEJ will never be arrested under Buhari.

ehissi:
Please be Objective, if your rich brother give you a car as a birthday present and then 6 months later; the EFCC come to arrest you for using stolen public funds to buy a car, what do we call you??

A thief?? The man was paid to render a service and he did, he wasn't accuse of stealing money but money believed to be stolen was linked to him, why no deal with the thief; if truly the money was stolen??

Do market women, fuel attendants and bus conductor question your source of money when you pay for services??

Party/political sentiments aside, be objective.

My guy it's not even an issue of being objective. Pls what does the law say? Under every legal system in this world and in every country on earth if somebody gives you stolen money or stolen goods or goods bought with the proceeds of stolen money you are equally liable as the original thief. The best you can hope for is to be allowed to refund the money if indeed truly you did not know.
But realize that anybody can knowingly receive stolen funds and later claim that they didn't know so it's your words against the prosecution. And most times the judicial process will tend to side with the prosecution under those circumstances.
I personally know a friend of mine who unknown to him bought a car that was stolen. When the police finally traced the car to him he had to forfeit the vehicle to the original owner and the money he used to buy it was never refunded. If my friend had refused to return the stolen car he would have been charged to court for theft. That is the issue Metuh is facing now.

pippimp:
You just agreed with me.

Ignoramus. Nigeria is number three in the world in MOBILE shopping and payments. Most western countries browse through laptops and PCs. China is number one, India is number two and Nigeria is number three in mobile phone shopping. USA and other western countries don't even register on cell phone browsing.

OP, are you seriously saying you don't know it is a criminal offense to use public funds for party activities? The issue here is not whether GEJ gave Metuh the #400 million for an assignment. The issue is where did the money come from?
EFCC has traced that money to the office of the NSA from funds budgeted to buy arms to fight Boko Haram. Spending govt money on PDP campaign activities is a crime. And don't tell me APC also did it cos two wrongs do not make a right.

buksaylor001:
Shameless liars-IPOBs cannot kill their own brothers,that's one thing we don't do.We are not like the brainless almajiris.Who own computer village,is it not IPOB?

Computer village is owned by the government of Lagos state and not IPOB.

Bitterleafsoup:
Reconstruction, oh so taking the agriculture from almost nothing to the cover of Forbes magazine is childs play. Building and reconstructing airports is something this Administration can not even think of.
Show me one dime how the fight of corruption has benefited you suffer heads.

What has this Administration ever showed you to make you continue this undying support. If you don't hold uour officials accountable you are part ofthe problem.

Point to any clear policy or agenda besides fight corruption. Don't be

You cannot tell me Buhari is bad but Jonathan is good. That's an insult to my intelligence and to the intelligence of anyone who has been awake for the last 6 or 7 years. We know what Jonathan did and failed to do. Over a billion naira was spent on a conference and the report was hidden. Only to be released when the elections came around with the promise of implementing it.
Any one who says Jonathan was better for the restructuring of Nigeria is being economical with the truth. That's my point and anything else is a distraction.

Bitterleafsoup:
I remember you from last year talking the same rubbish.
Nothing was done but your Amechi is riding the the same trains he built taking pictures, when your own eye go clear IJN!

Are we still talking about restructuring Nigeria or has the topic now been changed to trains? And what's my own with Amaechi? I don't think I've ever mentioned him in any of my posts on this forum. You're the one who seems to be obsessed with your Amaechi. Your own eye no fit clear lai lai. There's no point trading comments with biased elements like you.

SavageGarden:
Why is it that Nigerians migrate to the west and the same greedy lifestyle of Nigeria migrates with them.

Why are Nigerians here always competing to see who has
the latest benz,the biggest house or who can throw the
biggest flashiest party.

What is wrong with our people?

How silly is it for a man to buy a $600,000 home in Houston
Texas ,a city where an average decent 4 bedroom home is
$130,000,and he drives a Mercedes while madam drives a
lexus SUV and madam has to work 3 jobs as a nurse to
support this lavish lifestyle or the creditors would come
knocking.

Go to Nigerian parties the women are like peacocks
showing off their latest feathers.

What is wrong with Nigerians?
Why are all the conversations centered around money and
material posessions,their mansions and their material
goods.
What is wrong with our people?

My brother this is the question I've been asking myself these days. Why are many Nigerians so crass, materialistic and warped in their thinking? Truly decent Nigerians are more scarce than hens' teeth these days, and the situation is going downhill very fast.

Pyno30:
Please they are not the best online reporters.

Might be Apc best media online reporter. But not the best in General.

So who is the best in general ?

OjukwuWarBird:
You want restructuring but voted against your best bet Jonathan for a Buhari

Dearpreye forget this treacherous southerners.

Never trust them.

Jonathan had his chance to restructure but he totally failed to do so. Five and a half years is more than enough to set the ball rolling on restructuring Nigeria but nothing was done. Please don't try to rewrite history now. It won't work.
