eGuerrilla: I am not fielding for Lawan, I am only making you work harder to earn your keep.It seems clear that you are the one working for his keep here; slyly fielding for the crooks and criminals like Farouk Lawan who make the average Nigerians life a misery, while posing as saints. May God punish demons like you. |
jmaine: Folks are trying so hard to water down the murder of innocent Youth Corp members who stood against rigging by the CPC . . . .Aikfavour in particular attested to this . . .Why are we then trying to lieDon't mind those morally bankrupt toilet flies.

Its the least we can do. These are Ukeoma's unforgetable last communications on his facebook wall: [quote author=Ukeoma Ikechukwu (Aikfavour)]"Na wao! This CPC supporters would hv killed me yesterday, no see threat oooo. Even after forcing underaged voters on me they wanted me to give them the remaining ballot paper to thumb print. Thank God for the police and am happy i could stand for God and my nation. To all corps members who stood despite these threats esp. In the north bravo! Nigeria! Our change has come." Sunday at 06:48 via Mobile Web[/quote]The CPC supporters were back the next day. They killed Ukeoma and burnt his corpse. May his soul rest in peace, vengeance belongs to God. |
eGuerrilla:You seem a tad desperate and pitiable in your silly campaign for Farouk, bro. When did letters handwritten to oneself (by all indications, after the event) become evidence even for the impaired in a bribery case? Anyway, like I noted, its the season for intellectual comedy. Nutin do you! Lol! |
GenBuhari: My heart is filled with pride.Take your madness to another thread where you can celeberate spent, cobwebbed, senile, bloodthirsty murderers and wall gecko's. This thread is to celeberate the youthful, virile Akpabio. Thank you. |
This is one of the silliest articles I've ever read. So Farouks bullet proof "evidence" is a set of hand written letters which Farouk and his gang members probably wrote yesterday or this morning and sent to themselves? Shame on you OP. Anyway, its the season of intellectual comedy! ![]() |
“Farouk came in, sat by Otedola’s right. Then later, he collected the money and put some in his agbada trousers,” a source said, citing visual details of the meeting that was now being documented.The cruel details of smooth 'n slippery Farouks criminal act are beginning to slip out. Eye pop'n! |
onthefence: Beaf uses a quote from Saharareporters!!!!! Wonders will never end.

Alleged $600,000 Bribe: Inside Details Of The Sting Operation That Caught Farouk Lawan-PREMIUM TIMES Posted: June 11, 2012 - 18:41 https://saharareporters.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/news-page-images-480-wide/page_images/news/2012/farouk_lawan.jpg Farouk Lawan By Ini Ekott In sheer size and brazenness, details of the bribery deal and the sting operation by the State Security Service (SSS) would rate amongst some of the most startling in Nigeria’s history. Facing an army of television cameramen, and an anxious public on April 24, Farouk Lawan, the flamboyant House of Representatives’ veteran, who led an audacious investigation into shocking fuel subsidy abuses, led Nigerians through a protracted and often repetitive review of the arduous task his panel had accomplished. To the delight of a grateful nation eager to see its oil thieves punished, and colleague lawmakers about to debate the committee’s recommendations, Mr. Lawan narrated the fraudulent schemes oil importers used in siphoning more than N2 trillion of federal money, culminating in January’s bloody street protests where at least a dozen died. Then, mid-way into the debates that had already yielded high profile indictments, Mr. Lawan jolted his colleagues when he requested the House to approve the acquittal of two oil marketers listed alongside 13 others alleged to have received government funding without importing fuel. The House, for a large part abiding by Mr. Lawan’s guidance through the 63-page report, obliged. The ad hoc committee, he said, had found, rather belatedly, that the companies, Synopsis Enterprises Ltd and Zenon Petroleum & Gas Ltd did not participate in the subsidy, Mr. Lawan said. Zenon is owned by billionaire oil tycoon, Femi Otedola. In minutes, the two companies were cleared of culpability over USD284 million subsidy receipts between 2010 and 2011. But new details, reaped from a mesh of clandestine wiretappings weeks ahead of the House session, now alleges Mr. Lawan criminally misled the nation, and had indeed chosen to ease off the companies after meeting Mr. Otedola, and receiving the now famous US$620,000 in cash. In sheer size and brazenness, details of the bribery deal and the sting operation by the State Security Service (SSS) would rate amongst some of the most startling in Nigeria’s history. The House has pledged to support full investigations into the allegation, and has vowed not to “take side with corruption” but promising to “stand on the side of the rule of law.” Mr. Lawan, a fourth term House member, has denied the allegations, describing them as “mudslinging and red herring” targeted at discrediting the committee’s report. That position has been countered by Mr. Otedola, who confirmed the transaction in an interview with THISDAY. He spoke of how he decided to reach out to the law enforcement agency after Mr. Lawan had repeatedly impressed on him that he needed to pay to clear Zenon. But security officials, speaking to PREMIUM TIMES on anonymity due to the delicate nature of the issue, have painted a covert procedure that may have long been initiated, largely founded on considerations that transcended corruption watch. In the end, the operation turned out to serve an interest far out-weighing its original intent. Since leading the politically-sensitive subsidy investigation, Mr. Lawan had long been on the eavesdropping radar of the security agency digging to know whether the probe had partisan motivation, possibly stirred by the opposition to smear the Jonathan administration, our source says. For several weeks, the effort remained in place with the committee members’ phone calls scrutinized, and their interactions monitored. With the hearings over in February, and inklings of the preliminary reports gradually reaching an anxious public, officials of indicted companies kicked-off desperate final-minute attempts to overturn verdicts of culpability. The effort found a committee that appeared willing and in some cases, was the party to initiate the negotiations. In Zenon’s case, according to Mr. Otedola and the sources, Mr. Lawan, who until then, had woven around himself an impression of an exacting and incorruptible investigator keen on exposing official theft and homing in on a national acclaim, made the contacting. According to the Farouk Lawan-committee, Zenon Pet & Gas Ltd was paid USD233 million subsidy money, in 2010. The allocation was not reconciled with imported products, the committee claimed, a position denied by Mr. Otedola. The Zenon quota was by far, the highest paid to a single company in 2010 and 2011. The second highest amount earned by any other company, was USD51 million by Synopsis oil and gas. On repeated phone calls with Mr. Lawan, Mr. Otedola made it clear his companies did no wrong, and should not be on the list. He explained that against the committee’s position suggesting his companies failed to deliver, his company dealt with diesel which was not under the subsidy scheme. According to security sources well briefed on the content of the monitored conversations, Mr. Lawan called the billionaire’s bluff, and said the committee had completed its work. However, if he were to help, then USD3 million (N480 million) would be needed to sort things out, he reportedly said. Evidences of the discussions are available, and have been put before top government functionaries, the sources said. Within the security circles, striking the compromise note at the time proved invaluable for a covert operation that had failed to establish substantial political links earlier envisaged, but that was prepared to build on any evidence of wrongdoing with the storm the report had generated. “No one hoped this was going to be in this direction,” a source said. “That was not actually the intent of the whole coverage.” After the demand was made, the SSS contacted Mr. Otedola in the open for the first time, officials informed about the events said, and offered to assist him only if he would cooperate and play the ball he was being offered. He agreed. In Mr. Otedola’s interview, he claimed he reached out first for the agency. But officials say it was the contrary, and that the businessman’s position was in the interest of keeping the deal as furtive as possible. Back with Mr. Lawan, the billionaire demurred on the payment briefly complaining he could not afford that at the time since he was in multiple bank debts, according to the conversations. He however indicated he would make offers. Mr. Lawan insisted the amount was a fair sum considering consultations would be made, an argument Mr. Otedola agreed with. However, both men settled that a part of the money-USD600,000- be paid first, while the balance is cleared on a later date. Again, Mr. Otedola raised fears about the report having been released already and soon to be considered by the House. But his worry was put to rest by the lawmaker who assured he knew the “buttons to press in the House.” Then, the first tranches of the payment were made between Saturday April 21, and Monday, 23 -a day before the House began its considerations-at a location secretly fitted with audio and visual devices by the SSS. “Farouk came in, sat by Otedola’s right. Then later, he collected the money and put some in his agbada trousers,” a source said, citing visual details of the meeting that was now being documented. That encounter, will provide Mr. Lawan, at times an eccentric but well respected ranking member of the House, a needed impulsion to convince the House the next day of the innocence of Mr. Otedola’s two companies. A member of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) representing Shanono/Bagwai constituency of Kano state, Mr. Lawan, a diminutive former lecturer now nurturing a 2015 gubernatorial ambition, is one of the few members of the House who have returned a record four times successively. Through his years since joining the chamber in 1999, he has cultivated a known shifty disposition of lawmakers pitching tents where power appears to be residing. When out of favour with the authorities in 2007 under Patricia Etteh as Speaker, he rallied support and replaced Ms. Etteh with Dimeji Bankole. In return, he asked to head the Appropriation committee, a juicy slot often reserved by the leadership for key loyalists. He was instead rewarded with the Education committee; another portfolio aides say he later realized was equally as lucrative. Mr. Lawan has held on there since 2007 even with the change of leadership in 2011 until the subsidy investigation came knocking in January. A volatile sector, the investigation met early criticisms from the executive which reportedly viewed the move an attempt to embarrass the government, since it was clear from the start cronies and associates of officials will be indicted, and that it would be nearly impracticable for the recommendations to be implemented. The approved report, widely applauded by Nigerians, recommended punishment for past and present ministers of petroleum, finance, officials of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and several oil marketers. But the Jonathan administration has picked holes in the inquiry, questioning why some past officials of the sector were exempted from the inquiry, a concern critics have feared may be bandied as a getaway from implementing the report. Therefore, analysts say, an evidence of an underhand dealing between the committee members and marketers-as is with the Lawan-Otedola deal- will sell into government’s hand, a concern the House itself has raised. “We hope that the executive will not, because of this allegation, abandon its commitment towards bringing to justice, the culprits already in the committee’s report,” spokesperson, Zakari Muhammed, said on Saturday after the allegations became public. In a move that may underline that factor, two weeks back, the video clip of the money transfer was showed to the president, Vice president Namadi Sambo, Senate president, David Mark, and the Speaker of the House, Aminu Tambuwal. To possibly further drive home the point of the unreliability of the report, a copy was also played to Nobel laureate and social campaigner, Wole Soyinka, the only non-government figure to view the footage. Mr. Soyinka had vowed to lead a devastating street protest if the report was swept, as usual, under the carpet. But after viewing the clip, a shocked Mr. Soyinka said he had never seen a thing like that and appeared to be backing down, the sources said. http://premiumtimesng.com/news/5552-inside_details_of_the_sting_operation_that_caught_farouk_lawan.html |
acidtalk: I am pleased with myself that I never took sides on this issue from the onset.The irrepressible fool suddenly come to belated aknowledgement of common sense. You need to crawl on your knee's in apology for acting out wretched stup!dly, freely lying and spraying insults on innocent people you've never met. ...And of course, we all say a deafeningly loud "amen" to your "prayer" on your behalf... You know the drill! ![]() |
[quote author=Frank-C]I think the game is this: FL and team took the government and actual whistle blowers to the court of public opinion and got them really messed up, but it appears that he is fronting for an opposition camp. Allowing this issue to loom in public domain for some time has purpose that just exposing FL as a person, but aimed at exposing the hypocrisy of the present crop opposition masquerading as anti corruption persons. They will be so thoroughly indicted publicly that their words will seem like that of FL after now. At the end of the day, we may agree with GEJ that arresting people and clamping them to jail may not be the fist fights against corruption but actually dealing with the avenues that encourage corruption and making corruption less attractive. Ask top federal civil servants what GEJ is doing with their pay roll system so that you can get an idea of this governments anti corruption strategy. With this happening, many people will be more careful when next they want to ask for bribe while on national assignment and that itself made corruption less attractive. Next time you wnat to bribe somebody, make sure he has no hidden mic on![/quote]Tell dem o! ![]() |
acidtalk: Billyonaire = BeafEven when I'm asleep or in the arms of my lover, you people worry about me! Lol! Its great to be omnipresent. Now, deal with the topic, you empty headed, lying, theiving, bribe defending scumbag. |
bayooooooo: You have a good understanding of how Nigeria works. If the video was used to convince House leadership that indeed Lawan took the bribe, why is it suddenly difficult to release the same video to the entire public? why?Have you heard of prejudicing a case? If the matter is going to court, you do not put the evidence before the public or it technically becomes inadmissible as evidence. I'm not a legal expert, but there must be lawyers in the house to back this up. |
Olaolufred: Good to hear this from BEEF.Why can't you rell Jonathan yourself, bro? Aside from that, we are on the same page 100%. The only way to rid the country off corruption is to tear up the damn constitution and write one that is people centred. I only believe in splitting the country as a very last resort; Nigeria is a beautiful place with beautiful people from the North to the South, East and West. What we need is a definition of what it means to be a Nigerian, right now the place is just a piece of land on which our fathers villages happen to be located on by accident. With true federalism and the cultural and developmental autonomy it will engender, Nigerians will for the first time have a laid down contract of how the citizen fits into the state; what is expected of the citizen and what the state owes the citizen no matter where they are (even Mars or Pluto). Once we are able to do this necessary rethink, we would realise that our reps, senators, governors and LG bosses are no longer accountable to Abuja (as it is now), but directly to us. We would realise that our governors and LG bosses were not voted in simply to share awuf from Abuja; but that they have a duty to provide their jurisdictions with development, health and wealth. Now, imagine an LG boss or governor without Abuja connections? Woe betide them if they do not perform and end up stealing, because the people will simply go to their villages and burn their phucking houses down. Corruption will die a natural death in such a system. Tell your neighbour about true federalism bro and why the current constitution is the number one enemy of the people. |
[quote author=Beaf!]^^ mINI ME This job must be soooo hard for you. You are so confused and r3tarded like your master GEJ - EFCC said they have nothing on their table about bribery allegation - It is very obvious there is no any video Go back and finish the 'usual service' on oga to calm your brain down.[/quote]It takes a low self-esteemed fool to pretend to be another person. But then you are a fool, so not much is expected. Why pretend to ne me? Your d.i.c.k too small or what? |
waja: I was opportuned to watch one of the northern marketers being probed. When a particular question was asked and he couldn't answer, Farouk told him not to worry for he is covered. So Farouk must have collected money from him.That was Farouks game, to capture the petroleum market to finance their '2015 for North"' illness and own Nigeria through the backdoor. That is why NL's "born to rule" king, ballabriggs and his dark angels have been flying pretty hard over this matter. |
So Buhari has started telling lies in public too? |
^ Lol! Imagine a self declared saint asking for dollars to be flown in by chattered aircraft! Wonders! fesse: ThisDay is not sahara,pm news, daily trust and the likes. I don't know them of blackmail. Farouq is not clean as he claims and appears. Let's wait and see how it unfolds.You think ballabriggs doesn't know that? He is part of an NL clique that represents all thats criminal. |
Olaolufred: DOES THIS BRIBERY ALLEGATION ERASED THE FACT THAT SUBSIDY MONEY IS STOLEN?Where were latter day "warriors" like you at the time people like me were screaming our lungs hoarse that the entire subsidy system be scrapped, because it is a vehicle for blinding crimes? Now, you are screaming things that do not matter into the wind. Every last person who has enslaved this nation with fake subsidy claims must be jailed or even killed. Such is the scale of their crime; but, what Farouk Lawan did was to go round, taking bribes and letting by far the worst criminals off the hook. IMHO, that is why the SSS got involved, afterall people actually lost their lives (even if demonstrating for the wrong reasons). |
^ You think Tambuwal isn't part of the scam? Nigerians are easy to deceive. ![]() Wasn't Tambuwal part of all Bankole's scams, when did he become a saint? |
^ SSS says the total they can trace is actually about $10,000,000.000. @topic: [size=14pt]House Of Reps Set For War Over $ 3 Million Oil Probe Bribe[/size]http://thestreetjournal.org/2012/06/house-of-reps-set-for-war-over-3-million-oil-probe-bribe/ |
And the brigade of fools arrives! ![]() |
jamace: Hmnn. The nation is at a standstill just for this news. Boko Haram bombing is no longer an issue. Kai, our leaders know how to divert attentions from main issues. I will tag this GEJ govt "Leadership by Commotion".Because the SSS gave marked money. You give marked money when you wanna trace who spent what or who's bank account received what. They most likely waited until there was motion with the money, then... Gboza! ![]() |
maasoap: Even not a single person out of all the oil importers indicted in the subsidy probe report? Even if he had deliberately left Otedola out of indictment because he received bribe from him? You're sick. Remember, you even said that the scam may not be up to amount reported by Farouk, but now some evidences are coming out that some fraudsters were left out of indictment which means the figure is likely to go higher. Even the subsidy payment for 2011 alone is moving towards 3 trillion naira, yet you're not talking about that but you're dancing all over the thread because someone has been caught collecting 90 million naira bribe. A lot of people are enemies of state here.Do you know that many innocent people who refused to play Farouks game have been "indicted?" I think you are actually stup!d as a stone, bro. I never said the number was smaller than reported by Farouk. Get this into you phucking thick theiving and lying skull; I said that Farouk removed a huge number of names from the list. We probably have less than one tenth of the oil subsidy bastards named, ok? Farouk is getting deservedly nailed. Next id!ot, please! |
BetaThings: There is no use reporting Otedola to EFCCWell, I don't know about that. I keep saying the one thing that you guys never say: The only way to cure this nation off corruption, is to totally uproot the system, tear up the current constitution and write one that is based on true federalism. That is the only way we can have accountability, every other approach is a waste of energy. In the current system; your LG boss is responsible to your governor and your governor, reps and senators are responsible to Abuja. Where does that leave you? Nobody gives a phuck whether yo exist or not in the present system. You are not even a number. Strangely, people are scared to leave the present arrangement, because of awuf. I ask, what if we had no oil for awuf? |
eGuerrilla: Perfectly understandable how one who is tasked with dowsing fire on behalf of unscrupulous characters will get hot under the collar once his real image gets reflected back at him. It is perfectly in tune with your online-characterAt last you've betrayed yourself as the earthworm you are. Lol! If you like hang yourself. [size=14pt]Your uncle Farouk Lawan has been caught on video.[/size] I'll give you a lil help, fool: [img]http://4.bp..com/_3-h7k_OIJk0/TJzlkYAhGSI/AAAAAAAADLc/SjQjaplnipk/s1600/noose1.jpg[/img] https://i.imgur.com/UPBvj.gif |

Those people shouting "show is the video" are little more than fools. If you want to see the video, the best place to scream foolishly is not NL; take your placards to Yellow House Abuja (SSS headquarters). Lock the place down and see whether you won't be forced to leave the place with a higher IQ slapped in through your ears. LolZZ! |
[quote author=israel ben-zion]U r clearly a man who places no stock by his words. Who will jail him, u? U do ur paid work so badly here that GEJ and d establishment end up harvesting more enemies than friends here on NL. Even as ignorant as u come across,I believe u would at least knw that there is a place called 'Court' and a procedure called 'trial'. U must also provide sumtin called 'evidence'. U don't wish a man away into jail, no matter how appropriate it wud hv been for the establishment. Ok? When next u come on wit less dan 30% of ur wits, remember to step on d brakes b4 talking rubbish.[/quote]You really sound stup!d now. So if you believe that courts, processes and trials exist, what are you here arguing about? Farouk Lawan will be tried and jailed. Right now, he is being investigated by the EFCC. Why is the clamping of a criminal so painful to you, if not that you are either a criminal yourself or a fool? |
Sealeddeal: This is Farouk's version of the whole issue.A member of house of rep said dat Farouk wanted to present the money in the house b4 they went on break.but that member of house went on to say dat he feel that the hell has been let loose b4 he,Farouk,tried to save himself.i feel dat Farouk collected the said amount but dat should not be used to throw away his recommendation.you can never expect Farouk to agree that he collected the money.Even if u catch a robber where he is robbing and charge him to court,he will stilll say he is not guilty.what i will like to contribute is dat Farouk should be captured 2geda with his briber and they will be charged to court. Secondly,the part played by the bribers in the subsidy looting should be put in the recommendation and not throw away the recommendation because as it is now,it appear dat the money looted may not be 1trillion.maybe,something higher than that.In-as-much as i like Farouk,i will like to say dat he failed and he show dat he is a professional looter if this come out to be true.upon the pressure frm many quaters,he stilll went on to collect bribe.his own sin is the worst because its some people like him dat has helped to make nigeria the way it is.dats if this is true.people we entrust our hope going on to sell us.i wonder who is not a criminal in this administrationThe SSS made the marked money available when Otedola reported that he was being blackmailed. So, the only person going to court (and most likely jail) is Farouk Lawan. |
Boboribo: Proof my man, proof. If it is only the video you rely on, then forget it.Dude, you are daft. I suggest you find your way to the gate of Yellow House Abuja to demand proof. Every man has a right to be an id!ot. Lol! |
