Politics / Re: Police Tells Saraki Not To Interfere In Investigation Of Gang Of Hired Assassins by bbxxxxxx: 9:21am On May 17, 2018 |
1, why is the surname of some of the victims unknown also why is the date of some of the alleged crime wrong 2. A crime committed in Kwara why will you transfer it to abj. What further investigation are they conducting that abj is the appropriate place for such investigation. Is the crime scene in abj. Obviously to get a coerced confession as they did with Dino. 3. How did a commissioner of police suddenly becomes the IG of police when he could not even protect the inec rec in the state the IG was deployed. What verifiable achievement of his led to the appointment. 4. Under the current IG is the NPF getting worse or better. 5. Is no longer corruption as that could not fly, its now cheap police setup by an incompetent IG and some paid idiots are justifying it. When will this our jungle justice mentality end. I suggest we introduce a compulsory Jury course at all levels of our education system. |

Yeye dey smell. Surname (unknown). This is an attempt to blackmail first Dino and now Saraki. The same Ig that supervised the killing of Kano rec. When you begin to think about how a commissioner of police suddenly became an IG without any justifiable performance outside Killing the 2015 kano rec, you will understand whats happening. You know the victims name but not the surname, This shows the level of stupidity of the IG. Why transfer the suspect of a crime allegedly committed in Kwara to Abuja, where is the investigation suppose to take place Kwara or Abj? . They want to coerce them to confess Saraki under duress. Why should a confession to crime under duress be used as exhibit in Nigerian Court in the first place . The justice system in this country is rubbish. You watch ID and CI on dstv and you will weep for our justice system. This NPF has been doing this setup on ordinary Nigerians in the past without any effort to address it. Hmmmm. The only institution that define our democracy is been attacked by a failed institution. The good thing is the failure is beginning to hunt those who refused to fix the institution. The bad thing is our democracy is suffering. |
Politics / Noi Fighting Corruption Is Dangerous : Financial Times Review by bbxxxxxx: 9:22pm On May 16, 2018 |
There is a telling anecdote in the epilogue of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala ’s account of her second stint presiding over the mercurial finances of Africa’s largest economy. After she had left Nigeria and office, police acting on the tip of a supposed whistleblower raided her house in Abuja in search of cash hoards. When they found some bags in the basement, they thought they had hit the jackpot. Only the bags turned out to contain four years’ worth of newspaper clippings. No money. One of the most insidious tactics deployed by vested interests against those obstructing corruption is to spread malicious rumours that cast doubts on the integrity of their target. Long before US president Donald Trump had popularised the terms “fake news” and “alternative facts”, Nigeria’s gangster politicians and profiteers had honed that dark art. Mrs Okonjo-Iweala, a former managing director of the World Bank who paved the way for the writedown of Nigeria’s historic debts as finance minister between 2003 and 2006 — and served again under the hapless administration of Goodluck Jonathan between 2011 and 2015 — has been relentlessly targeted: a sure sign that she trod on powerful toes. Her second book is partly a bid to set the record straight in the wake of venomous allegations that trailed her out of office when Mr Jonathan lost elections in 2015 and the government changed hands. It is also a courageous account of the battle against graft in Nigeria. Between the lines, the book also serves as a diagnosis of what is wrong and a prescription for how it could be put right. There are tragicomic moments. One is when Mrs Okonjo-Iweala puts paid to a duplicate cargo tracking system at the ports tailored to line pockets. This act rebounds on her when she finds she can no longer enter the president’s residence via the VIP entrances. Even in the company of the visiting IMF chief, Christine Lagarde, she is forced to make detours through the gardens. Often, the counter-attacks were far more sinister. Mrs Okonjo-Iweala’s 83-year-old mother was kidnapped and bound for days at the suspected behest of oil marketers, whose fraudulent subsidy claims the minister had blocked. Their ransom demand was that she resign on television. She did not. Soon after, she was warned of a plot to attack her personally. She recalls one meeting that the president asked her to attend with a group of businessmen from Abu Dhabi, who promised $2bn in loans dressed up as an investment in ship building. “The presidential adviser had the I-told-you-so look, as though once you get this woman involved, then this won’t work.” The adviser was right. She blocked what looked to her like an attempt to replicate a 2013 fiasco that had seen the state of Mozambique saddled with hundreds of millions of dollars of odious debt in return for a redundant tuna fishing fleet. The book may be a self-defence, but it is not self-congratulatory. Much of it describes the relentless task reformers take on when they seek to plug the leaks springing from the state. There are ghost workers and pension scams, collusion between contractors and civil servants in bogus debt, and near constant arm wrestling with legislators and state governors to prevent waste. All the time, income to the Treasury, most of which comes from oil, was being squeezed — on one side, by industrial scale theft from pipelines and state company accounts; on the other, by multibillion-dollar fraud in the allocation of fuel subsidies. As a result, one of the world’s foremost development experts spent most of her time mounting rearguard actions to prevent Africa’s leading crude producer going bankrupt in an oil boom. “The government’s stance against corruption delivered mixed messages,” she writes with considerable understatement. Friends warned her not to work for Mr Jonathan, fearing she would lend credibility to a government that did not merit it and sacrifice her own hard-won reputation. She still has her own misgivings, mostly about the dangers faced by her family. Nevertheless she believes it was worth it. Billions went missing. But by her own estimation, finance ministry interventions saved the country around $9bn directly. As another Nigerian reformer put it to me once: “Had she not been there, it would have been much, much worse.” The reviewer is an FT leader writer and a former Africa editor https://amp.ft.com/content/1710b42a-4ef3-11e8-a7a9-37318e776bab?__twitter_impression=true[color=#000000][/color] |
Culture / Stop Promoting Igbo Culture, Says #dein_of_agbor by bbxxxxxx: 9:19am On May 16, 2018 |
The Dein of Agbor Kingdom, His Royal Majesty Dr. Benjamin Ikenchukwu Keagborekuzi I, has enjoined his subjects to stop promoting Igbo culture, describing the Agbor culture as ‘unique and peculiar’. The Dein gave the admonition at his palace recently while giving his royal blessings to the new Iregwa of Ogbemudien Community, Pa. Bogi Abagi. He called on the good people of Agbor Kingdom to join hands with him to effect the changes he desires to be in place. According to him, “I am back and happy to be in the midst of my subjects. This kind of gathering gives me joy because it is an opportunity for me to learn more from my people. There is room for change, therefore my wish and desire for my subjects is that they adopt and respect every change that is being made. Going through the history of Agbor Kingdom, one will thank the gods for wisdom. Thus, everyone will join hands with me to reposition things the way they ought to be in order to restore our lost glory”. He called on all Agbor indigenes to preserve Agbor culture and stop promoting Igbo culture. His words, “stop giving our children Igbo names. The native names given to our children should be pronounced and written in Agbor language and not in Igbo or Ika language as Agbor has its own unique language. The Igbo red cap should also be dropped as it is not a native cap for Agbor Kingdom. Soon, I will start driving away my palace chiefs who are fond of coming to the palace, wearing in red caps. Agbor traditions should be respected and preserved for future generations. Parents and the elderly should teach our children and the youths the culture of Agbor”. The Odion of Agbor Kingdom, Chief Julius Ochei who led the new Iregwa and the people of Ogbemudien to the Dein’s Palace for blessing, said the Iregwa title goes to the oldest man in Ogbemudien Community, stating that it is the turn of Pa. John Bogi Abagi who is 89 years and the oldest man. The Iregwa, according to Chief Ochie is the traditional head of Ogbemudein Community in Agbor Kingdom. In a chat with Ika Weekly Newspaper Reporter, the Chairman of Ogbemudien Community, Hon. Simon Okpali lauded the Dein for his wealth of knowledge and prayed the good Lord to empower him. He expressed his confidence in the new Iregwa of Ogbemudien to lead well and thanked the Dein for his blessings. Julius Ehiabor, the Onu-otu of Ogbemudein Community, on his part, said Pa. Abagi leadership is good and that the good people of Ogbemudien Community are happy. He prayed God to give the new Iregwa good health and long life. Mr. Johnbull Okwuogori Aghaulor felicitating with the Iregwa, appealed to him to continue to lead them in truth. He prayed God to bless the Dein of Agbor, the Iregwa, Ogbemudein Community and Agbor Kingdom. Responding, Pa. Abagi thanked the Dein, saying that his joy knows no bounds, while soliciting for the cooperation of every son and daughter of Ogbemudein Community to enable him give the Dein the needed support to move Agbor Kingdom forward. 3 Likes |
Politics / Why Oshiomole Was Personally Attacking Me Immediately After Leaving Office. NOI by bbxxxxxx: 9:09am On May 14, 2018 |
Why Adams Oshiomole Was Personally attacking Me Immediately after leaving office. - Okonjo-Iweala. “Fighting Corruption Is Dangerous”. So he, Oshiomole applied for a N15.37billion loan (Eco bank and Fidelity bank) on December 9, 2014 via the Debt management office that the Jonathan administration gave power to review and control borrowing by state governors. 18 months before his handing over to another Governor? After review, it was found that the loan will increase Edo's indebtedness by 38% and unsustainable at 18% interest rate. He was advised to either drop the idea or reduce toa more manageable N5billion. Not happy with the advice, he went to NOI 's office for further discussion. He told NOI Edo state was expecting a world bank budget support loan that got delayed. He wanted to take loan from local banks and then repay with world bank loan. NOI told him World bank will never allow you pay another loan with its loan. And that she thinks it is better for EDO STATE not to borrow from local banks at 18% interest rate and 23 month tenure when in a matter of months you'll be getting loan from world bank at 5 years grace period, 25 years tenure and 1.25%. But of course you know he needs the money more than Edo state. If you get to know what most of these rogues do to the future of their states behind closed doors, you'll want to cry. "The governor insisted that he needed the loan and that was why he visoted me personally. When I told him that professionally, I had no grounds to go against the Debt management office recommendation, the governor took it personally and left my office displeased"...NOI. "Then began a series of headline-grabbing attacks spear-headed by Gov Adams Oshiomole against me and federal government, which escalated when I left office in 2015." - Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala - ******** This book can be ordered from Amazon, Wordery, Waterstones stores and online. 2 Likes |

This is so annoying, now Oshiomole has the power to determine who or not enters Benin City. I don't blame him, I blame the useless and lazy bini Palace chiefs(rather sheep's) who stood by and watch him humiliate bini because of the jeeps and money he gave to them. This useless ugly fool did not create any job nor attract any to the state for eight years so he could turn the youth into thugs. |

1. Buhari made N1=1$ but Jonathan/PDP went to IMF, WB, and Forex to increase it to 360. 2. The money Buhari meant to pay the 5k promised to poor Nigerians, Jonathan/PDP ran away with the money 3. The employment Buhari created for Nigeria Youths was hijacked and taken to China by Jonathan /PDP to employ Chinese 4. The meal Buhari promised primary pupils, Jonathan/PDP connived with the caterer and ran away with the food. 5. Petrol price that Buhari made N45/lit, Jonathan/PDP bribed all stations to be selling at 145 n above. 6. All the road contracts Buhari awarded, Jonathan/PDP took the contracts and executed them in Germany. 7. The Boko Haram Buhari defeated, Jonathan/PDP went and Formed Herdsmen. 8. The economy that Buhari has succeeded in growing, Jonathan/PDP went to bribed those people to rate Nigeria economy as poor as poorest 9. Buhari reduced the price of every commodity in the market, but Jonathan/PDP went to connive with market women to be selling at very high price 10. Buhari reduced school fees for both federal and state schools, but Jonathan/PDP called state governors to increase it to what average Nigerians can't afford 11. Buhari succeeded in fighting corruption, but Jonathan/PDP went to bribe TI to give Nigeria such ugly position in the list..... Buhari has tried his best! WITH THIS PROVE, VOTE BUHARI 2019...... |

Politics / Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon's Easter Greetings by bbxxxxxx: 10:14am On Apr 01, 2018 |
.[color=#000000][/color]As we join Christians in the celebration of Easter, may we truly reflect on the quintessential modus vivendi of Master Jesus; The Christ, who peregrinated this incarnation as an exempli gratia of self abnegation, puritanical excrescence, spartan discipline, mental magnitude, hierophantic candour and altruistic effusions,qualities which have become a desiderata for national resurgimento. “Beyond the fugacious razzmatazz of the moment, I seriously call attention to the rutilanting and coruscating modus vivendi of Master Jesus the Christ and I dare pontificate that save and until we viscerally emblematize the virtues of self-immolation, quintessential abnegation, eulogizeable simplicity, Christ-like humility and immerse ourselves in a platonic emotionalism of agape love and communalistic service, we would have woefully failed in learning and imbibing the true meaning of EASTER. We must elevate this moment from a proscenium of joie de vivre into one of meditative transcendentalism”. HAPPY EASTER. |
