The court bared the House from investigating Fashola because of conflict of interest since the House was part of the complaints, now they lifted their complaints off the House basically to remove the conflict of interest just to allow the House to go ahead with the probe without the conflict of interest allegations and in effect bypassing the court ruling.


Talk about the accuser, the judge, the advocate and exonerator.

These are nothing but lying clowns peddling rubbish and carrying other faceless people's water.

I really want them to investigate Fashola and I think this is good for Fashola himself and Lagosians in general.

The only downside is the fact that it displays how easy it is to slow down the wheels of government since any d!ic!k and harry is allowed throw any allegation at the Governor/Government (True or false, merits or no merits) and set in motion state and federal investigations.

And shouldn't the house first demand for documented evidence of misdeeds by the Governor and present it to Lagosians before even going public with their intent to investigate? or is it just that all you need to waste state's funds and manpower on investigation is plain insinuation? Are these people for real?

I'm not even reading anything about embezzlement, huge sums in private bank accounts locally or internationally. This is nothing but your generic allegations of overspending and misappropriation.

We are not blind, we see what Fashola is doing with state funds.

Lagos state has a budget of 426 billion naira to take care of 18 million people and huge infrastructure demands. Rivers state's Budget @ 434 billion naira to take care of just 5 million people and less infrastructure demands is bigger than Lagos state's budget. So, we can't honestly say Rivers state with just 5 million people is excelling than Lagos state with 18 million people terms of demands and development.

I say go ahead and investigate Fashola. Make him a bigger hero.

Why are we so vindictive and crooked?

Why are we even taking these clown seriously?

the ones against the governor,

A new twist has been introduced into the ongoing face-off between the Lagos State House of Assembly and Governor Babatunde Fashola following allegations of financial impropriety against the governor and bribery against the House.


The group, which made the allegations, “The True Face of Lagos” yesterday exonerated the House, claiming that they lacked evidence to back the allegations against the lawmakers.

Presenting a letter to retract the allegation against the Assembly to the Speaker, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, at the Assembly chamber, a member of the group, Adebayo Adeshina said the allegation was becoming a snag and an inhibition to the investigation of the case.

He said since they lacked evidence to prove the allegations, they have, therefore, decided to retract them, while standing by the ones they made against the governor.

“If out of say 30 allegations, you see that one can now cause a K-Leg, why don’t you remove that. That is one allegation we cannot prove, that is that this honourable House collected any money. Since we cannot prove it, we don’t want to over-burden the House,” he said.

Adeshina, however, noted that they have concrete evidence against the governor and his team, adding, that those through whom Fashola sent the money to the lawmakers only scammed the governor of the money, without passing same to the Assembly.

In the letter, which was not addressed to anybody in particuticar, but only started with the salutation to the Speaker, dated February 15 and jointly signed by Kasali Martins, Dr. Tunde George and Adebayo Adesina, the group said: “We want to state equivocally that in the affairs of men, there are bound to be errors of judgement or mistakes, and when people admit their mistakes, it is a sign of maturity and sincerity.

“We hereby communicate to the Lagos State House of Assembly that we have since discovered that those who collected money under the pretext of bribing the Assembly in order to cover up Governor Fashola’s glaring misdeeds and abuse of office, as exemplified in wanton graft and fraud of monumental proportions only scammed the governor. We have confirmed that they did not deliver the money to honourable members.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we would like to state categorically that we are dropping the allegations against Mr. Speaker and the Assembly that they collected money. We would like to put on record that we regret all the inconvenience and discomfort this must have caused individual members, but it is important to stress that the Assembly must now use her position of high moral authority to hold the executive arm of government accountable.

“We want to say without any fear of contradiction that we firmly stand by our publication, which came out as an advertorial in the The Punch and PM News of Thursday, January 28. And, we will want to make appropriate representation to the panel of enquiry tomorrow, we have our facts, we are not kidding and we are not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

“Lagos State has under Governor Fashola become a cesspool of fraud, corruption, financial recklessness and economic mismanagement and we are ready to prove this.”

You should know well. British pet monkey.

You know, reading your posts and dede1's, I'm convinced you 2 have little or no manners or home training. You're too childish and not emotionally and mentally equipped to function in public without acting rude or mannerless. 


Losers,

presido1:
If blockade is the standard war strategy and the Nigerian govt with her allies blocked the supply of Relief Materials, why are we blaming it on Ojuks. So much hatred @ the same time we are praying for Nigeria to work out. I don't think it will with all these hatred from all angle.

Nigeria was not the occupying force, Ojukwu/Biafra was the occupying force and it was up to Ojukwu to plan and secure food for his people before he set on his foolish man mission. And he had tons of opportunities to secure food for his people, but as usual, he selfishly decided to fly in weapons instead of food.

ezeagu:
People need to stop bragging about wars other countries virtually fought for them. . . . .

That's what losers say.

Dede1:
I am a proud Biafran.

Despite the courageous defeat suffered in the hand of Nigerians and its allies, the tinny Biafra showed the world what a true African country was capable of doing.

I do not ask for apologies but would always remind the Biafrans not to forget the word- “REVENGE” as our battle cry

Who gives a crap what you believe in? Even if you believed in chili cheese fries, that's your freeking problem.

And what did tinny Biafra showed the world? How to stupidly plan, fight wars, lost and cut and run and leave your men on the battle field like a sissie coward?

Abeg keep quiet with that pathetic nonsense.

Sucks to be you for real,

EzeUche:
The Yorubas are some backstabbing cowards!!!

No one told them to enter the war. They should have mind their own business and let the Igbos and Hausa fight. These Yorubas are afraid of the Hausa. Yoruba civilization was on the decline, because of Hausa raids before the Brits came. These people would have been made slaves to the Hausa.

The Yoruba are weak. Even when Sani Abacha was killing Yoruba politicians, the peopled did nothing. A Yoruba man is a coward. They act like women. An Igbo man is a REAL man. We will continue to fight no matter the odds.

The only coward and backstabber here is Ojukwu.Yoruba didn't lead you to war, Yoruba people did not promise you victory, Yoruba people didn't beg to carry your gun powder to the battle field for you. Ojukwu declared the Nation of Biafra, not the state of Oduabiafra. Yoruba people don't own you jack.  

Ojukwu lead you to fight an unwindable war, got you slaughtered and ran like a sissy, not Yoruba people.
Biafra.

Do yourself some good and start comprehending these facts. The man who needlessly lead his people to their deaths because of what he himself never believed in, what he gladly sacrificed the lives of his people for, but had zero convictions in his heart to stake his life just like he did his people, he ran like a coward just to save his own skin and left his people on the battle field for dead.

That is the true picture of not only a selfish man, it's the true picture of a born coward.

When you think coward, he's right there under your nose.


And when you say Yoruba are weak? what do you really mean.

You are not weak, but you freeking lost the war.

You are not weak, but you were freeking too weak to do proper planning to safeguard the lives of your people and make sure they have enough to eat till the end of hostilities.

Yoruba people are weak, but Yoruba military men named Colonel Benjamin Adekunle (called the Black Scorpion) and Olushegun Obasanjo lead the 3rd marine commando operations that whooped your Biafra into submission and sent your war commander on a coward exile.

Meaning the same weak Yoruba whooped your Biafra army.


So, who is weak again? Is it not time you guys stop deluding yourselves and get real.

Nigerian federal forces launched their final offensive against the Biafrans once again on 23 December 1969 with a major thrust by the 3rd Marine Commando Division (the division was commanded by Col. Obasanjo, who later became president twice) which succeeded in splitting the Biafran enclave into two by the end of the year. The final Nigerian offensive, named "Operation Tail-Wind", was launched on 7 January 1970 with the 3rd Marine Commando Division attacking, and supported by the 1st Infantry division to the north and the 2nd Infantry division to the south. The Biafran town of Owerri fell on 9 January, and Uli fell on 11 January. Only a few days earlier, Ojukwu fled into exile by flying by plane to the republic of Côte d'Ivoire, leaving his deputy Philip Effiong to handle the details of the surrender to Yakubu Gowon of the federal army on January 12 1970. The war finally ended with the Nigerian forces advancing in the remaining Biafran held territories.

Dede1:
If this nonsense is believable, why on earth did Nigerian government stand up blockade of Biafra?

Stop crying like a b!t!c.h.

Blockade is a standard war strategy, your weak and incompetent war leader should have made arrangements to secure and stockpile food before he opened his fish mouth to declare war on a superior and better equipped army. 

And y'all need to quit the victim routine, it's overplayed because the biafran army was not a bystander, they were in a war, they shoot, bombed and killed people on the other side too and in wars, there's always a winner and a loser, not both. You lost.

Deal with it and quit crying.

Why is this any kind of news? Don't we all know what that weak cut and run coward?
