Dangote is presently owing N150bil big ones but he comes from the untouchable tribe.

How many times will you be told that Dangote is servicing his loans on time? You can't take over the properties of someone who is paying back based on the terms of the loan. His younger brother Sani Dangote had his business taken over by the same AMCON a week before Murray Bruce. Same with Jimoh Ibrahim.

As usual it will be pumped out from ND soil.

It has to be pumped out from somewhere.

Mimzy is still the Queen. Dats all.

OP where did you get the idea from that they are Buhari's friends?

I've been hearing a lot about this guy recently, but no information yet about what exactly he does for a living.

kingviny:
At 30% interest per annum, Senator Bruce is expected to be paying over 3 billion annually. That in itself is killing. If you dont enjoy monopoly like Dangote or if you are not into big time contract runs, it is very difficult to meet up with repayment obligations .

Seeing this, AMCON should have administered justice with mercy to encourage this iconic entrepreneur. Instead of this big disgrace of his brand, they could have taken over behind the scene. The businesses should still have been allowed to run for the sake of the brand equity and for the sake of the employees.

Mr. Bruce's business (entertainment) is a very viable business. If its management are changed and the group privatized, AMCON can still realize a lot of money from this while still retaining 51% of Silverbird group stocks. With what they have done, they have made this going concern un - attractive . No investment holding entity would want to buy SILVERBIRD ventures (bad publicity) and as things stands, thousands will once again loose their jobs. How much can AMCON realise if they are to sell just the building instead of the business?

AMCON money is Nigeria's money, they should act by helping and not by destroying. AMCON has destroyed the SILVERBIRD brand, they have really bruised the Bruces.

Excellent comment I totally agree with you on this. You really made common sense.

For goodness sakes pls do your homework before spewing ignorance online. The so-called Aisha Buhari gave evidence in court against US Congressman William Jefferson. She was a key witness to his conviction that's why she was given prosecutorial amnesty.
Plea deals and suspects turning state's evidence are very common in the US justice system.

Deepfreezer:
this might be another cover up Mr Ribadu Haba Haba........ Mr Ribadu claimed that the imposter Aisha Buhari lives in the US.... if it is a public knowledge that the imposter lives in US... my curiousity if truly the Aisha Buhari lives in America, the US government is more intelligent enough to have arrested her & prosecuted her along with the convicted Senator William Jefferson, or Mr Ribadu wants to lie to us that only the Nigeria govt can arrest & prosecute a Nigeria even if the Accused commit a crime like this....... Nigeria is indeed in serious Trouble with the likes of this Mr Ribadu

smtx:
Please can you help us get passport of Atiku Abubakar impostor?

There is no Atiku Abubakar impostor the real Atiku has been implicated in the plot. The real Aisha Buhari has not been implicated somebody else who is resident in the US used her name.
You can believe whatever you like though, real serious people already know the truth.

I love this, you have excellent taste bro.

myners007:
I'm supremely confident that the westerners as a tribe are the most confused group in Africa. They voted for change and now they are criticizing the change using one of their uncontrolled son as their spoke person.

You're an ignorant person if you don't know that Fayose and the whole of Ekiti state supported Jonathan in the last election not Buhari.

nonsense as usual coming frm a suppose "medical doctor" bro, I kept repeating it, I dont know how u were able to pass through medical school, u reason like a KIDDO, I'm sorry to say, Fayose Vs Aisha Buhari, now Fayose has been able to proof his case beyond every reasonable doubt by way of coming out with a proof, all that is need is for the anti- corruption agencies to come in an investigate, this is why the people have been say, the fight against corruption is a one sided, wat is wrong if EFCC comes in? Is it becos it is a president's wife that is involved? Where is the rule of law, wen we need it? It is unfortunate, dat "thieves" have grade in the country called Nigeria.

You need to hang your head in shame if you actually believe any of the nonsense you've written in that post. What a disgrace to common sense. Fayose has proven what? And does proof need to be investigated? Investigation comes before proof and the proof is conclusive that this so-called Aisha Buhari is not the same person as the current First Lady of Nigeria.

So we should strive till four years before things can be better?Who knows you could be one of Buhari's aides who get most of these goodies for free.

Read my earlier post again slowly. I don't think you understood it the first time around.

Hello guys,

The idea of the above topic is not only to get a "yes" or "no" response. But to also know your reasons for either answer.

As for me, I expected so much from this government, as I honestly voted them wholeheartedly.

But, at this point I must say I want to believe in this famous quote "the devil you know, is better than the angel you don't know".

My basis of regrets are quite much but can be limited to the below:

1. Low power outage

2. Job losses

3. Increase in PMS which in turn increases transportation

4. Unresponsive attitude towards fulani herdsmen attack

Please note that, the above is my own opinion. I've heard people say "it gets worse before it gets better"...then I ask, for how long...it's a different thing when steps are glaring to make things better...

And if you must know, I have really studied this government's approach towards passing policies, but I'll only discuss two of it...the subsidy removal and floating of the Naira.

The Fuel Subsidy removal

In simple terms, the present day government stretches the hardship to get PMS...unending scarcity of the commodity, forcing the populace to adhere to outrageous black market prices, get them to be used to it and then they remove subsidy and they take the messiah stand.

Remember for some, the N145/litre is like making the black market price they are used to legit, so all they want and cry for is availability of the product.


Floating our currency

We know the Buhari led government has been adamant to devalue the Naira, so businesses had to struggle, some close down over a period of 16 sad months of stubbornness.

Anyways, fast forward to Monday...just like the PMS, people are so used to N380 to a $ that they forget already that in plain terms dollar has shifted from 197 to 288 (devalue with sense)...all they focus on is the parallel market...to all, government is the messiah again to have brought up a policy that gave the Naira strength. N380 to N288 is a big deal isn't it?

To be honest, I can't wait for better days. But I know it could have been better with another person at the elms of affairs. Be it KOWA or any other party

Please let's here from you guys as well...

NB: pardon any typographical error, as I typed all these hastily to get back to work (Na lie oooo, na sleep I dey sleep so)

No. It's silly to start judging a four year term within the first year. By that standard Obama's presidency would be an abject failure. It takes time to create systemic changes on a national scale. Let's revisit this issue in another year or two.

LANREFORWA:
A funny comment from someone calling Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim oloriburuku. If u realy know the meaning u will know that is not in his dictionary, he can turn around your economy situation around for good. Why won't a good bussiness leave to where his investment is safe. Look at what your economy turn to under PMB, not everyone is a zonbie. I need such as a client, rather than waiting for a pertisan and clueless government

You are a perverse, wicked and evil person. This man took 35 billion naira of free money from the mouths of hungry Nigerians and diverted it to Ghana. Money that he did not work for. Money that he was freely given with no strings attached to save his crumbling airline business.
He hides the money away in another country, the airline business ends up collapsing and thousands were laid off without paying their salaries and entitlements. Anybody who defends someone like Jimoh Ibrahim deserves the same punishment as him.

skillet:
Pls my fellow nairalanders, I have been carrying out a research for a couple of weeks now and it seems the ibo tribe has the least amount of crimes attributed to them. This one is another northerner that has diverted funds again. Please take a look at fp and see how many easteners are bein questioned by efcc.

Jimoh Ibrahim is not a northerner, he's from Ondo state. And you're fooling yourself if you think that easterners are not just as corrupt as people from other parts of Nigeria.

This pointless fabricated allegation was dragged out and debunked during the last presidential elections. Nigerians did not buy into it then and they won't buy into it now.
It is only relevant to sufferers of Buhari Derangement Syndrome aka Wailers.

Is Fayose going to be a governor forever? No. There is nothing in the section of the law quoted which prevents EFCC from freezing a governor's account in the process of an investigation. Once his tenure is over the case against him can proceed and he can be charged to court.

SailorXY:
Show us the developed country where a serving officer is abducted in his line of duty, made to cough out 'fines' & detained without trial with your oyinbo mentality.
People like see no faulty as long as godBuhari oversee it. You probably never left your local government before.

Is he the only AVM in the airforce? Were any of his fellow officers "kidnapped" or "witch-hunted" as well? Was there not a petition? Was there not an investigation? Was a prima facie case not established against him? And was he not charged to court?
You're talking as if he was suddenly ambushed one day and unlawfully kidnapped. The EFCC is a law enforcement agency created under appropriate Nigerian laws. They don't kidnap innocent people, they arrest suspects like all other law enforcement agencies.
The Nigerian case is unique because the judicial system is so twisted and corrupt. Instead of pushing for a conviction, the EFCC has strategically decided to advocate for out of court settlements, resulting in the return of stolen funds and closure of the case.
If the AVM is truly innocent as he claims, he can refuse to bargain, stick to his guns and wait for his day in court.

SailorXY:
go & sit down. you think being an AVM is rice & beans? coupled with an appointment how much do you think he rake in monthly?
do you know how much a DPO take home monthly?
is he also not allowed to invest his cash & get someone else to oversee? that man is not less than 50 years old, what about his wife? what about his grown up children?
which competent law court has convicted him for such fines to slammed on him?
I can't even blame most of these civilians calling themselves EFCC, abducting an officer in course of duty to country. I'm sure he was alone @ the time.
anti-corruption fight my foot.

Naija mentality talking. Your thinking is warped unfortunately, SMH.

ojialo:
I pity Nigeria youths, so for someone who is working for over 25yrs can't have up to 40M in his or her account? Smh! Or he has no right to engage in other businesses? Only lazy people ask such questions.

My friend go and read the code of conduct for military service. They're not allowed to engage in any private business while they're in active service. Their attention must never be divided. Then look up their salary scale and do the calculations yourself.

By the way the whole point of asking questions is that suitable answers are expected to be provided. If the man had a legitimate explanation for the source of his wealth there's no way the EFCC will be asking him to return the money.

paulsir:
just like you have the right to make osun state poor by your aregbese? There is no monopoly of conflict.Osun belongs to all.This is the reason why APC will loose osun to PDP in next election.Religion is fragile,even fashola evadeed such prob in lagos.

How can you believe that troll is either Yoruba, Muslim or from Osun state? You must be new on Nairaland.

AVM Rufus Ojuawo sir, how did you get 40 million naira cash and money to buy a Range Rover? From your airforce salary?

U lack sound education.

Op said he is being prodded by selfish party supporters to come back against his wish...the deaf man is obviously not in GD health and was hastily bundled back so to prove people wrong while he is perpetually in great pain.

I believe the op 100%...the next couple of days will prove the op right...lets see dullina attend any public function...then i will brand the op a liar...for now...the op is so so right

You believe the OP because you hate Buhari and anything negative about him you will rush to believe. But anything positive you will never believe about him. Your hatred has taken over your brain. It is hate thinking for you now no longer you doing the thinking yourself.
