Daboomb:
The Problem with this sort of writeUp is that in its attempt to score big points, it's writers usually embellish the truth with a lot of lies!

Just state what you are CERTAIN is the TRUTH and let people make their judgement.

For example:
Magu's case: We all know this is corruption fighting back. the House Magu was accused of living-in, was rented for him by the FCDA.
magu was never accused of looting any money by anybody or any proof shown to that effect.
How then can you say he is corrupt, just because another "angry" cabinet Minister who is in-bed with looters (DSS Chief) wrote a contradictory report over him?

Kachukwu's case: Kachukwu himself has come out to clarify that he did not say baru or what is his name, stole $25B or that the money was missing. His allegation was that the guy was bypassing him as his superior. That one is not corruption but insurbordination for which baru should be queried and sanctioned.

Babachir Lawal: That man is a conformed rogue but you dont expect the President to make a negative pronouncement on someone, without a proper investigation and irrefutable proof. PMB has to stand on the path of caution until otherwise is proved.
And he then ordered an investigation which has made recommendations to the President. What we need is for the President ot be seen to take action as recommended.
How is Buhari corrupt in that one?

Dasukigate: Dasuki perpetrated a lot of fraud under Jonathan, with the approval and connivance of Jonathan himself.
All the people you mentioned, that were arrested by the EFCC were fingered by Dasuki himself and some of them have pleaded guilty through a PLEA BARGAIN to refund the money back and some have acttually returned Money (I would love they and every other looter rot in jail, so you know).
Buhari was an ex-President and where money used to buy his entitled, official vehicle comes from, is a decision of the current Govt in power at that point (Jonathan and his army of thieves). You cant hang that one on Buhari's neck as corruption, that he was given a vehicle he was entitled to.
The real criminal that used and appropriated money meant for procurring Arms to do such is Dasuki and he is stil in detention till date.
The money to buy a vehicle for any ex-President (including Buahri, OBJ, IBB, e.t.c) will certainly come from the coffers of the Govt and where exactly it comes from, is the decision of the sitting president and his cabinet (Jonathan and Dasuki! ).
It does not make the Ex-Presidents corrupt.

But let me digress a bit as l am not trying to exonerate Buhari orhis Govt here.

On the[b] issue of double standard in pilgrimage[/b], which is also a form of corruption by this Govt of Buhari, in paying/subsidizing for Muslims going on Pilgrimage, is very bad, since same is not done for Christians and smirks of Nepotism, something l think is Buhari;s greatest undoing.
Anyone that wants to go on pilgrimage should be a ble to afford it. We have mnore pressing needs (Education, Health and infrstructure, e.t.c) where such money can be put to better use.

Now, concerning Buratai, l dont think his issue has been completely forgotten but right now, he is in the service of the nation in a very important and sensitive position (tackling Boko haram) and we can always revisit his case later, when things are a bit okay on the security scene.
We can keep changing leadership of the military, based on owning a House in Dubai (I know most military echelons are rogues, that one is not news), when we are in the middle of a war.
A sensible leader knows when to weild the big stick.

On Ikoyi warehouse Forex: I think the panel that investigated that allegation has recommended the dismissal of the DG of the NIA.
What l think the President shoudl do is to make the Report available for nigerians to read and to implement it to the letter. To do otherwise will protray him as encouraging and covering-up corruption. You are right on the ball concerning that.

Finally, l think that Buhari is very guilty in the areas of NEPOTISM, for example his sealed lips and paying lip-service to this issue of Fulani herdsmen.
It is not just Buhari but the Fulani members of the Nigerian Military who look the other way and allow these herdsmen to slaughter innocent people at will. The recent one being in Benue where 29 people who were under the protection of the military were slaughtered right in the presence of the military unit led by another Northerner!
Funnily, not a single of the herdsmen were killed and not a single soldier sustained bullet wounds..... on`ly the 29 civilians were "offered" to be slaughtered.
Its a Big SHAME on the military, that they cannot even protect citizens right under their nose!
But then, l think these fulani military officers are just taking a cue from the "body language" of the President, when it comes to looking the other way as long as the criminals in question are Notherners (I have nothing against Norhterners afterall, Benue people are not Southerners o Easterners)

In every criminality that involves a Northerner, Presidnet Buahri has always shown "Double-standard" and this will be his greatest undoing.
We his supporters expect that he would have out-grown such tendency but obviously, he hasn't.

So, when you write, please dont mix-up the issues or allow your prejudice to becloud any truth in whatever you write.
Shoot straight and keep it real. It is when you keep it real that you rmessage will resonate with everyone
Buahri may not be guilty of corruption but his Nepotism is alarmingly glaring.

so its right for just two people to be involve in the award of contracts totaling $25b without a board meeting or FEC approval, some of u are saying that that is how it has always been , even under kachikwu as GMD. so because kachikwu enjoyed same as GMD, does that make it right?
a corruption fighting govt should have noticed such loophole and blocked it, instead they are participating and enjoying it and be saying kachikwu enjoyed it too

as far am concerned, what exists in NNPC is a corruption avenue : GMD - tenders board - petroleum minister = contracts approved without a board meeting

my brother this is corruption

abeg oo , which beach dey for north, I didn't know they have beach..... just asking ooooo

kindly tell us the name of this beach wey be like atlantic ocean in this pix

this post has really exposed the level of illiterates and biased minds we have on this forum

once they hear or read about jonathan and money, just because of hatred, they will not read to comprehend.
they will start spewing abuses unjustly. I tire oooo for our youths. and we all want a better country with this kind of attitude

see una life for outside

jstbeinhonest:
Ofcourse, the politicians are begging you by placing your region at the bottom of the 'food chain' and declaring IPOB a terrorist group. Ode.

u make me laugh, which bottom of the food chain. are we suffering as much as the northerners, are we the poorest?
if u say they placed us at the bottom. are we really at the bottom?, have u heard of the cliché: MAN PROPOSES, GOD DISPOSES; how many IDP camps do u see in the east, how many beggers, how many uneducated people, whats our index academically, did united nations say we are the poorest?, did they say our region is the 'unsafest', do we have almajiri, do we have street children, do we have mud houses and brown roofs that depict poverty . igbos are thriving in business, and we are not at the bottom and nobody placed us there

on ipob as a terrorist, u know that declaration is in futility as its not recognized by the other 194 countries in the world, that declaration by the army is the force part of it that am telling u. military forcing us and politicians begging us through whatsoever means

Alexk2:
You ignorance is ligendary like seriously. Army do carry out such free medical services all over the country from time to time and that wasn't the first time they're doing it in SE or SS. There used to be awareness campaign prior to such operation....Infact, they were in Bayelsa like two months ago for a similar service mostly for the aged.

Now you may need to browse the net for confirmation; that'll save you from further embarrassments pls. If after reading this, you still want to argue more, then I'll just pass and let you be.

if there was enough campaign, then why are people running away. for the fact that people are running away, is an indictment on the kind of campaign u said they carried out. so u should blame ur campaign team
and since there was enough campaign, mr know all, can u kindly tell me the disease they are immunizing for and why school children whose parents are not aware

after restructuring almost all states will be able

they are currently not viable because they cant tap into their natural resources for proper utilization

for me on a personal note I like atiku. I still don't understand why some people hate him without any good reason. they will just be shouting corruption up and down without evidence, but will be quick to ask for evidence when u accuse those they support of corruption. so much hypocrisy. I also like his detribalized nature and practices. I have met more than one Igbo common man that he helped out of poverty. that should be the practical spirit of one Nigeria that we preach
I wont forget how he fought for our democracy by thwarting the third term ambition of his boss
therefore he gave our democracy the finesse it has today. I have admired him since then, he fought gallantly

I don't think tvc is airing in any eastern state. So how come you're watching d program?

So what's the difference between them and the illitrates North refusing to take polio vaccine.?!!

the difference is that the north knows what the vaccine is meant for and still refuses even though they were going to their homes to do it with their parents permission.
everybody in the south have taken polio vaccine

and now nobody knows the type of vaccine that is being administered as monkey pox has no vaccine yet

if its polio, we are already through with that

TEYA:
It's for monkey pox, keep running!

monkey pox vaccine? is there vaccine for it now

malware:
The age difference between the two is astronomical but No one would shout pedophilia here...

pedophiles are attracted to children for sex and other things like marriage that they are not matured for

Bolustical:
Watch out as some people who want to leave Nigeria jostle for a job in a refinery owned by the so much hated Aboki and situated in a brown roof Republic.

Hypos!

any job for the igbos are always on merit, so what are u talking about. don't we have qualified Nigerians working in other climes?

I told you Guys here that South East was rebuilt with Nigeria money after the civil war but Igbos got mad as usual.

Let's burst their bubbles, how do you build your region back with $20 or £20? What business did Igbos go into that fetch them the financial power to build their region back?

Can we give equivalent of that money today in £,#,€ or $ to 10 Igbos and see how they can build 10 2 bedroom bungalow with it after 10years?

Igbos think everybody is as foolish as....

Nigeria government built South East back with Nigerian money. They have lied over the years that their region was built with their money but thank God the truth is being spewed by our elders.

empty analysis
but u didn't tell us how the FG rebuilt too

very talented, he should be encouraged

Vivere:
Is that what you were told?

yes, present ur evidence that kachikwu signed above his threshold

evidence against baru is already there with kachikwus leaked letter

which he is trying so desperately to defend saying that the petroleum minister gave him consent

tell me , are u comfortable that only two people ( GMD & PETROLEUM MINISTER) can just initiate and sign such whopping amount without any board approval. then where lies the checks and balances that will help fight corruption, how can that be the law as explained by baru, such law is destroying the country. even though every one thought that NNPC has been unbundled by this administration in order to curb corruption

cbrass:
What's the level of education of your bro

u give ur yansh to army to inject u without asking questions then u are an illiterate

is that not how book haram did to chibok girls, no questions was asked u gave ur students out because u saw army uniform

so many illiterates quick to call others illiterate in this country, they are just so many

Alexk2:
I tell you BRO. I'm saddened at the level of ignorance in our country...more worrisome is the way we always allow some elites use it for their selfish interest. I won't be suprised if it becomes a campaign tool tommorow.

so once u see army and needle, u bring ur buttocks for injection, then u become educated
once u refuse, u are illiterate
my brother, u wey bring ur yansh for injection without knowing what u are being injected for is the illiterate one

south east is a well educated environment, go and check out our academic prowess anywhere in waec, neco, jamb and in any profession

madridguy:
Yes let the peaceful terrorist go, we will manage the violent boko haram. The peaceful terrorists kills more than the violent group.

expantiate how they kill more, except u are turning logic on its head

blacknp:
You don't treat animals like humans?Ipob animals in human skin. Go read your history and check how many people ETA the terrorist Paramilitary arm of the catalans killed in the 80's and 90's and how many also were killed by the Spanish Government.

so how many have ipobs killed

Vivere:
A corruption avenue that Kachikwu himself never revealed when he was still GMD of NNPC and was also approving contracts using the same structure?

kachikwu didn't sign any such contract without the board
kachikwu signed within his threshold, but baru signed above his threshold without the board

ericsmith:
that can only happen if FFk becumz nigeria president not even an igbo president will embark on such nonsensetical project... over a region with zero natural resources ... abi naa buhari share natural resources

but searching for oil for more than twenty years without result is not nonsensical

ericsmith:
that can only happen if FFk becumz nigeria president not even an igbo president will embark on such nonsensetical project... over a region with zero natural resources ... abi naa buhari share natural resources

why is it nonsensical, something that will improve lives and help decongest ur lagos so that it will be more serene
lagos roads will have less burden, pressure on all infrastructure in lagos will reduce, if not u will keep complaining about us in lagos till eternity
what natural resources does ur north have that billions are spent on the search for oil

remember that south east have oil, coal, palm oil and other forest produce including able human resource

mind u, the sea port is for commerce which our people are known for

since its possible to dredge, why not dredge it if u love ur people and country so that the east will contribute a better IGR to the country

Basic123:


igbo people

you lied and bursted your lie in the same post!


They are BEGGING you

at the same time...FORCING you

By the way,I thought you chestbeat that you are smarter than other tribes?,the same tribes you are smarter than dey oppress you?

yes, ur politicians were begging, while ur military was doing the forceful aspect
we are smart yes
remember Israelites are smart also, and how many years they spent with Egyptians. so chill

ericsmith:
FG ddnt give us seaport ....God/nature did..
you cannt build a seaport in a region with no sea ... or do we av to waste billions creating sea in a dry land.

if u dredge the river niger there will be sea port in the east, we have the money, after all we have been wasting billions searching for oil in the north for more than 20yrs with no result, and yet the search continues

Ministers need to come from each state, we aren't talking about ministerial portfolio

I only told you that Igbo was aviation minister which your list attested to.

Go and check the names of head of parastatals to see how tribalistic that man was.

Check his kitchen cabinet to see how the whole place was filled with Igbos

also, I don't understand ur grouse about Igbo being the aviation minister, is it a zoned slot
the aviation minister even worked well then, which almost every body attested to

bring out parastatal list lets see and also that of the military and para military. so that we can confirm ur claims

until then jonatthan isn't tribalistic, he even favored the north more, is that the hallmark of tribalism? no
remember that he didn't do much for the igbos
the two things he did for the igbos that made them support him was 1. Enugu international airport 2. post of chief of army staff that eluded them for more than forty years

midolian:
All sort of food and films i guess.

Later some oversabi pipu will say early marriage is not gud. Mtcheew!

As far as i am concerned, if a woman has grown breast and there are signs she has started enjoying the sweetness of womanhood, she is due foe marriage. That age thing doesnt work nowadays.

stop justifying bad
this is a one off
the girl choose the guy herself and wasn't forced, she noticed her matured innate sexual activities by herself
but in most early marriages, you will want to notice it for them, u force ur kids to marry who they don't like, even though there is no innate sexual activeness in them yet

Lloydfolarin:
Jonathan administration was filled to capacity with Igbos and Igbo was an aviation minister...

Don't make it sound as if your region was forced into the position it's today

You have international airport in Enugu young man

AworiLagosian:
Yes na. When you Igbos have destroyed the reputation of honest Nigerians in the place with all your illegal activities. They now think all Nigerians there are criminals, including all the Yoruba students, IT apprentices, Company Managing directors and University professors.Meanwhile, the Yoruba guy killed was fresher than 90% of Igbos I see day to day and this one is here calling him dirty.

That is what we have to endure for sharing the same nationality with you backward crime infested lots.

but u are the ones begging us to be part of ur country. remember u sent ur soldiers to war to force us be part of u, so stop complaining and enjoy us

CeterisXVII:
Whether it took Baru 1 day, 1 week or 1 month to come up with a response is not the issue. The main issue is "did his response address the issues raised against him in Kachikwu's memo?" My submission is that it did, and those responses even made Kachikwu end up with egg on his face. Even the explanation Baru gave shows how each step was followed, as well as how the financing and approvals for the contracts were obtained. If Kachikwu had gone through the processes deployed in awarding each contract and found flaws in them, he would have had a better case. Kachikwu needs to manage his staff better, and drop his ego.

Afterall, the things Baru did as GMD NNPC, were the same things Kachikwu did when he was also GMD. The same way contracts were approved at GMD level, was the same way it was done when Kachikwu was still GMD NNPC. The same powers Kachikwu had as GMD NNPC when he was still there, are the same powers Baru has now chosen to exercise, in his new role as GMD. If you notice, most of the approvals came from Buhari in his capacity as substantive Petroleum Minister, President and Head of FEC. Kachikwu ironically was part of the same FEC that approved some of those contracts, so how can he now turn round to say he knows nothing about it?

After becoming Minister of State, Kachikwu felt some of his powers had been taken away, and so he drafted that memo. The truth is that the NNPC Act does not grant any substantial powers to the Minister-Of-State. And that is what now needs to be addressed. Please learn to be more polite, when engaging others. There was absolutely no need to use the word 'trash!'

whether kachikwu has power or not, he has revealed a corruption avenue, how can just two people GMD and the minister be awarding such whoping amount without passing thru a board, and u think its normal, restructure this country jare
