hercules07: You do know that the statement from that guy indicts PDP, ACN just got the SW, so if there has been no development, it has been because of PDP misrule.

When did PDP rule Lagos?
E ro ra o!

That means he will likely be free in under 5 years!
wetin de worry oyibo people?

scopusng: See as Ibori eyes dey look everybody for court. Chei dis thief don confuse finish.

Odidigborigbo of Africa indeed.

b0dnel: is that not part of the conviction? The judge should stop these rhetorics and convict the petty thief joor.....whay all these wasting of time and speaking big big grammar like Okotie?

The bad thing about the UK is they might give him 50 years and we will all hail, only for them to release him after 5 years for "good behaviour."
They should send him to Ukraine where the key would truly be thrown away.

This will likely get Tinubu in deep soup.
Same story from another source:

[size=14pt]Salami: Call logs rejected by NJC were from us —MTN[/size]
Written by Lanre Adewole, Abuja Tuesday, 17 April 2012

MTN Nigeria Communications Limited has finally laid to rest the controversy over the genuineness of the call logs rejected as credible evidence by the National Judicial Council’s (NJC’s) probe panel, by confirming that it released them to the police.

Nigerian Tribune had, during the multi-faceted and behind-the-curtain judicial probe, reported the call logs, which were presented as exhibits by sacked Governors Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun and Segun Oni of Ekiti states, as genuine, though certain media had claimed otherwise.

The call data on mobile numbers belonging to the suspended President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Isa Salami and others, from the Police at Area G Command Headquarters, Ogba, Lagos, were rejected by the Justice Umaru Abdullahi probe panel due to what the panel described as “doubtful and unreliable source.”

The panel subsequently used the call data obtained by the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), which covered only three months, to absolve Salami and other jurists, saying that the data were not comprehensive enough to indict them for unethical communications with parties in Osun and Ekiti governorship appeals.

The call data now being confirmed as authentic by the telecoms firm cover five months.

Oyinlola and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Osun and Ekiti state chapters, had gone to court, claiming that MTN deliberately released incomplete call data to NSA in order to protect Salami and certain politicians accused of unethical communications during the trial of appeals arising from the governorship elections in the two states.

They are asking for N150 billion damages and revocation of MTN’s operational licence.

In MTN’s statement of defence to the suit, the firm acknowledged that the call logs from the Nigeria Police Area G Command Headquarters, Ogba, which the petitioners presented to the panel as exhibit and rejected by the panel, were from it.

In paragraph 8, the firm claimed that “In response to paragraph 22-23 of the Statement of Claim, the 1st Defendant (MTN) stated that it always cooperates with security agencies and acceded to their legitimate requests while adhering to its rigid procedures to ensure its customer confidentiality regime is not compromised or prejudiced and also within the confines of its capacity and storage constraints. It was consequent upon this that the 1st Defendant, upon request for call data records from Nigeria Police Force Area G Command Headquarters Ogba, forwarded the CDRs to the Command.”

In MTN’s response, handled by the chambers of the former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abdullahi Ibrahim SAN, the telecoms giant insisted that it could only provide data covering three months.

“The 1st Defendant (MTN) duly honoured the request in line with its policies and capacity constraint, which limits the period within which CDRs can be stored on the 1st Defendant’s network to three months, by releasing the CDRs for the period December 2010 to February 2011 to the law enforcement agencies,” it stated.

It added that: “The 1st Defendant, as earlier stated, received a request from NJC vide a letter dated 14th April 2011 for the release of CDRs of some of the 1st Defendant’s subscriber numbers for the period September 2010 to January 2011. The 1st Defendant could not honour the request of the NJC, because of its obligation to respect the confidentiality of its subscribers, and, therefore, being only able to release such information to the actual subscriber of a specific mobile telephone line upon request, law enforcement agencies or upon a court order.”

However, in the response being filed by the plaintiffs to MTN’s defence, it is being contended that while the call data released to the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) by MTN covered only three months, the data released to the Area G Command covered the required five months.

Oyinlola and PDP are contending that the call data of the months deliberately left out in what was given to the NSA would have made all the difference in reaching a different conclusion by the NJC panel.

According to the plaintiffs, “The 1st Defendant’s storage capacity is not limited to three months. The call data records the 1st defendant released to Area G Command, Ogba, covered the period between 1st September, 2010 and 31st January, 2011 (5 calendar months). We shall also be calling the Area Commander, Area F Command, Ikeja, Lagos, to tender the call data records of a certain Sunday Awobiye, which spanned a period of six (6) calendar months.

“These buttress the Plaintiff’s assertion of the 1st Defendant’s inconsistent, fraudulent and manipulative tendencies: The 1st call data record released to Adeolu Oyinlola by the 1st Defendant on the 4th of August, 2011 (already pleaded) covered only a period of one month, while the 2nd call data record released by the same 1st Defendant to the self-same Adeolu Oyinlola on March, 2012 covered three months. Very significantly, unlike the call data records the 1st Defendant released to the security agencies at the behest of the National Judicial Council, both of the call data records released to Adeolu Oyinlola had originating and terminating components. The 2nd call data record is hereby pleaded.”

“Defendants should declare when, in the history of Lagos State, a Tunde Folawiyo (in whose name telephone subscriber no. 08034240000 was registered) occupied the seat of governor. Plaintiffs shall, at the trial of the suit, cause the appearance of a witness, who regularly interacts with Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the aforementioned subscriber no. 08034240000, as well as subscriber no. 08062240104 (registered in the name of Gbadegesin Ademola).

“The honourable court is invested with the power to compel the 1st Defendant to avail it of the SIM registration details of the two suspicious numbers (especially now that subscribers are statutorily required to register their Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards, as it would assist the court to determine whether or not the 1st Defendant is in breach of section 14(?) of the Nigerian Communications Act.

“Considering the 1st Defendant’s extracted confession that it had earlier released some call data records to the Area Commander, Area G Command, Ogba, Lagos, is it not clear that the 1st Defendant acted against public interest by misleading the security agencies, and by extension, the National Judicial Council, through the release of incomplete and inadequate call data?

“Does the 1st Defendant consider it fair to have appeared for Justice Ayo Salami (the record of proceedings of the NJC Special Investigative Panel; as well as the fact that the MTN staff, that appeared before the Panel was led in his evidence-in-chief by Justice Salami’s legal representative attest to this) and attempt (unsuccessfully) to repudiate the call data records the 1st Defendant had earlier released to a competent government organ?

“Paragraph 8 of the 1st Defendant’s statement of defence, taken together with proof that the 1st Defendant’s storage capacity is more than three months, as well as the 1st Defendant’s failure/refusal/neglect to release the originating component of the call data records of the subscriber numbers requested by the National Judicial Council, prove beyond any doubt that the 1st Defendant deliberately frustrated the work of the NJC Panel; withheld the more important of the two components of call data records (terminating component); consciously avoided releasing the call data records of the period being investigated at the time, and perverted the course of justice. We shall, at the trial of this suit, require the Police, SSS and NSA to appear and tender the incomplete call data records supplied to them by the 1st Defendant.”

How did MTN get so involved in our local politics?

It is really frightening.

Ono: Truth is that Ibori did a lot while he was governor of Delta State.

I still find it strange that he stole so much. The monies they say he stole are really mind boggling. If he could do this and was able to win my ''trust'' at the time he was governor - people believe me, this guy did a lot. His efforts at restoring peace in war torn Warri was legendary. The bridge at Bomadi - I have been talking about this bridge for years now, that bridge was a major hassle smasher for the Ijaws. Transport to and from Ekeremor, Bomadi and adjoining villages was made easy by that bridge - It practically opened up Ijawland, hence the deputy governor general of ijaw nation title given to the man. Those stadia Fash talked about were actually built by Ibori. Warri city stadium, I am told is one of the best in the country. It was built by him. Several other major projects this man did as governor.

What's baffling is how he could do so much but still was able to steal - so much! This life sha. I hope for the good he did, he could get a short sentence.

That shows you how much more Uduaghan is stealing. We are waiting sha.

Demdem: tell us more about this man. We are more interested in him. Charity begins at home

Poor thing! Please join us in "praise" and "charity" here: https://www.nairaland.com/914262/evidence-massive-dry-season-road

Oh! Bro Gbawe! So you can find pictures aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way from Ghana, but none from Osun!
Wonders!

See why its bad to lie and tell high stories? Chei!
Laf wan tia my bele!

Uche2005: na you biko

Yes, Musiwa is an emminent personality. We respect him as a powerful guy that can even remove Jonathan.
Uche2005, please beg him to take us away with the Western Niger, many of us have packed our load since last. Waiting, waiting for Musiwa to take us to Benin Republic to save 15 million lives and make North majority after the SNC.

Gbawe: Indeed. I suggested as much by insisting that this was likely the work of local antagonists/detractors of Okorocha. Every politician has to deal with this considering how dirty Nigerian politics is. This is no different from the Osun PDP chapter insisting that Aregbesola should account for 100 billion accrued to Osun in 11 months when financial figures available from the ministry of Finance show glaringly that Osun did not even get half of that amount !!!!

If only Aregbesola could work like Rochas.

Have you seen what Rochas has accomplished in a few short months? Do you want the easily available pictures of tangible work done? The man didn't wait 9 months to get commissioners as well. What a guy!

You will not find anything as disgustingly anaemic as this from Rochas:

Funkymallam: So u were not even sure of the level of wrk going on and u r all over the place simply bcus u r self aclaimed SW defender?

Do u think it makes any sense posting those pictures if they have better pictures to post?

Gbawe has just made it plain that he is an empty megaphone with no backup for his words (better called lies). Yet, he goes around insulting everyone.
Its a sad place to be for a grown up.

Maybe the 'Evidence Of "Massive" ''Dry Season" Road Construction Across Osun State' can only be found in the winsh World.

Gbawe, thank you for all the kind words... But why can't you just simply bring PICTURES?
It was so easy for you to promote Aregbe's high stories, now you seem rather shrunken.
This is funny!

wirinet: Shame ke, in Nigeria? Do you have any idea how many people ibori made rich who would remain eternally grateful to him? Then most importantly, do you know how many people owe their political careers to ibori? All the political offices in delta state including Uduaghan, owes their position to Ibori, not to talk of the legislature and even the federal legislature.

You are right indeed. Its only in Nigeria that a zinc roofing sheet thief could have become so powerful.

Discredited.

1018 (Day 1): Large crowd of Ibori supporters gathered outside the court. Reporters are having a difficult time gaining access.

How come the man still has supporters? Some people have no shame.

gidiMonsta: No serious country can adopt a pseudo-language as its official language, its called pidgin because its a corruption of a language!

However, I am of the opinion that we should de-emphasize the importance of English language in our educational system and standardize a few of our local languages to adopt as part of our official languages as practised in SA and India.

American English is a corruption of Queens English.

[size=14pt]Oronsaye committee recommends abolition of 32 FG agencies, merger of 53 others[/size]

[Stephen Orosanye]

The Presidential Committee on the reform of government agencies on Monday recommended the reduction of statutory agencies of government from 263 to 161.

It also recommended the abolition of 38 agencies, merger of 52 and reversal of 14 to departments in ministries.

The proposal is contained in an 800-page report submitted to President Goodluck Jonathan by the Chairman of the Committee, Stephen Oronsaye.

The report stated that the average cost of governance in Nigeria is believed to rank among the highest in the world.

Oronsaye said: ``For example, there are 541 Government Parastatals, Commissions and Agencies (statutory and non-statutory).

``Going by the recommendations of the Committee, the figure of statutory agencies is being proposed for reduction to 161 from the current figure of 263.

``The Committee believes that if the cost of governance must be brought down, then both the Legislature and Judiciary must make spirited efforts at reducing their running costs as well as restructuring and rationalising the agencies under them, since the three arms make up the government.’’

In the report, the Committee proposed the removal of all professional bodies/councils from the national budget in order to reduce the high cost of governance.

It also recommended that the budgetary system should be linked to deliverables and output, and urged government to implement or vacate decisions taken on past reports.

The chairman of the presidential committee also highlighted concerns that decisions taken by past government Committees on restructuring and rationalisation of government agencies had not been implemented.

``The Committee reached out to all Federal Government Agencies through their respective supervising Ministries or Offices and also employed a representative random sampling technique to visit a select group of parastatals


``During the interactions with the MDAs, many of them claimed ignorance of the existence of Government White Papers on previous reports with similar focus,” he said.

``Where they did, the decisions were either selectively implemented or not implemented at all, thereby vitiating Government’s efforts at reducing its size.

“Mr. President, indeed, 12 years after the White Paper on the Ahmed Joda Panel Report on the Review, Harmonisation and Rationalisation of Federal Government Parastatals, Institutions and Agencies (2000), some Parastatals and Agencies, which Government had decided should either be scrapped, commercialised, privatised or self-funding, are still receiving full Government funding, which runs into billions of Naira.’’

According to Oronsaye, a former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, one common feature of some of the previous reports is the relationship between the parastatals and their supervising Ministries/Offices.

``The Allison Ayida Report (1995) referred to the ‘Administrative Guidelines Regulating the Relationship between Parastatals and Government-owned Companies and the Government’ to buttress the point that Ministers should not function as chairmen of Government-owned agencies.

``Similarly, the Ahmed Joda Committee (1999) posited that the challenge of Ministerial interference and bureaucratic control needed to be eliminated in order to restore the effectiveness and efficiency of parastatals in the delivery of service to the public.

``In addition, the Joda Report alluded to the challenge of lack of managerial competence in some of the parastatals as well as the incompetence of some Boards.

``The Report also noted the challenge posed by the large size of the boards of the parastatals, most of which had over 10 members. Today, the story remains the same,’’ he said.

Oronsaye recalled that the Presidential Committee on the Rationalisation and Restructuring of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions and Agencies was mandated to complete its assignment and submit its report within eight weeks after its inauguration on August 18, 2011.

``The sheer volume, ramification and importance of the task necessitated that members worked assiduously seven days a week for eight straight months.

``The product of all those long days and nights is the over 800-page report we are presenting today,” the Committee Chairman said.

``The report contains recommendations unanimously adopted by members after wading through volumes of submissions and enduring lengthy presentations, lively and frank interactions, detailed analyses and robust debates,’’ he said. (NAN)
