The woman dull sha

thunder74:
For all clapping for this government for this breach of our laws and abuse of state powers, dont worry, it will soon get to you or somebody you know. Every accused is presumed innocent until a competent court pronounced him guilty. Notwithstanding all the allegations, you will understand legal processes when Dasuki opens his defence in court and the government knows this, that is the reason they were using state power to keep him in detention.

Dont be surprised if another allegation surfaced again tomorrow. It started with Treason for having in his possession unlicensed, firearms later to Dasukigate etc The precedent now is, once you are arrested by police for whatever reason, even if the court grants you bail, police can rearrest you again. Then you will scream human right, then I will remind you of the dangerous precedent we all celebrated.
If Nigeria must develop, we must respect rule of laws.
This government is demodictatorship. It will soon get to you.

Thanks for your very wise words.

I really can't understand what type of people Nigerians are. Maybe they deserve all the suffering that's been heaped upon them. How can people be rejoicing at what is happenng to Dasuki? Are we no longer a nation of laws?

The man has been accused of crimes, he's been granted bail and has met the bail conditions, yet he's been re-arrested again on what grounds? Today it is Dasuki tomorrow it could be your friend, brother, wife, Father.

I hold no brief for Dasuki, if he's found guilty of the crimes he's been accused of, then he deserves the most harsh penalty possible, but please people, the rule of law is the fundamental building block of democracy. If it's removed we may as well be in a dictatorship. Those doing the arresting and jailing today, might themselves be the ones looking for the protection of the law tomorrow.

Gumi, please shut your dirty mouth. The only Muslims who have set up an alternative govt in Nigeria are the SUNNI Boko Haram. The same SUNNI Boko Haram have killed multiple Christians and Muslims. How many churches have the Shia every destroyed? The simple truth is that the majority Sunni in Nigeria are taken their orders from their masters in Saudi Arabia to wipe out the Shia, but make no mistake Iran will not take this lying down. The North is about to become the next battleground in the centuries old Shia V Sunni war. We in the South will be watching in 3D!

This fall in commodity prices will lead to economic and social disorder in countries such as Nigeria that are solely dependant on oil.
You will see lots of strike action by labour, trade unions, students etc.
We might be experiencing a hyper inflation. This is made worse by our inability to refine our petroleum products leading to depletions of the already scare forex.
Agric which every one is clamoring for is not that easy because it is capital intensive, time bound and dependant on biological factors and finally market at a time commodity prices are low.
Nigeria may have to consider the north Korea option to survive or the Iranian model of survival under sanctions.
I must add that this is a self inflicted sanction on Nigerians by the ruling class over the decades.

We have seen two oil booms in our history and on both occasions we wasted the proceeds. There will not be a third oil boom. The world is awash with oil, China and Europe are moving away from fosil fuels. The electric car is no a reality and cheer models will come out in the future. Nigeria is in BIG trouble. Our leaders are not showing any sense of urgency to our situation. I wonder if even understand how bad things are?

What nonsense, even if the protocol office made a mistake, does Buhari not know the order of precedence? All this proves is that Buhari did not even read the budget speech before coming to read it out like some comatose zombie.

3 Months from the damage for the Minster of works to visit the site.

6 Months after that and after much pressure in the media and a quite a few deaths from Road Accidents the contract is awarded.

3 Months after that the Caterpillars and tippers arrive the site, a few trips of Sand are deposited.

1 Month later the contractor stops work, calming they've not been paid their 'mobilization' fee.

3 Months later after more pressure from the public/Media, the Govt spokesman claims the contractors have been paid all monies owed and work will resume 'once the rains have finished'

1 week later the Contractor denies they've received any payment.

2 Months later (after more deaths) The House of reps send a delegation to inspect the road, the delegation report back that a full probe of the Federal ministry of works is required.

12 months later after a 'Full probe' it is discovered that the contract to repair the road was grossly overvalued and many senior govt officials received illegal kickbacks. Depending on which side of the political divide those senior govt officials now sit, some are arrested by EFCC while others are left alone(All animals are equal but some are more equal than others)

A full 2.5 years later the road is still not repaired, a new ministers promises to 'Accelerate work on the road' and people keep dying in road accidents.

What remote part of the UK is Op living in? In the big cities you will easily get hot peppers on any Asian grocery shop.

so it's only when the elite use public services that they appreciate the need for them to be reformed. Maybe if all the elite were forced to send their kids to public schools and use public hospitals then we would quickly see a vast improvement in those services.

[quote author=kjhova post=41059304]Ok, we may have misunderstood each other. My reference was restricted to the withdrawal of the Abacha refunds which was referred to in the original post. Yes, I agree that there are the other cases in court involving transfers from last year. All said, my main point was that CBN officials are not likely to be found culpable for any offence in this matter as they were doing their jobs as bankers to the ONSA and the other government agencies. It is the agencies and their officials along with their cronies who betrayed the responsibility we reposed in them to oversee our commonwealth.[/quotes]

Well said, let's up some justice is done and seen to be done this time around.

kjhova:
No oh! The Dasuki saga mostly covered January to June 2015. In any event, what the CBN has said is that they released the monies in line with their regular mandate as a banker to the government. In that case, the CBN, either under Sanusi or Emefiele, are not culpable in the diversion of funds under Dasuki.

Sorry but you are wrong with regards to the dates of the Dasuki saga. See below from the charge sheet(You can see it on Saharareporters)


“That you, Col. Muhammed Sambo Dasuki( rtd.), whilst being the National Security Adviser and Shuaibu Salisu, whilst being the Director of Finance and Administration in the office of the National Security Adviser, between 14th April, 2014 and 7th May, 2015 in Abuja, within the jurisdiction of the Honourable Court, entrusted with dominion over certain properties to wit: an aggregate sum of N3, 350, 000,000 (Three Billion, Three Hundred and Fifty Million Naira) being part of the funds in the account of the Office of the National Security Adviser with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), committed criminal breach of trust in respect of the said properties when you transferred same to the account of Dalhatu Investment Limited with United Bank for Africa Plc, purporting same to be payment for the supply of security equipment and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 315 of the Penal Code Act, Cap 532, Vol.4, LFN 2004.”
Another count reads: ‘‘That you, Dalhatu Investment Limited, Sagir Attahiru and Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa, between 14th April, 2014 and 7th May, 2015 in Abuja, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court dishonestly received stolen property, to wit: an aggregate sum of N3, 350,000.00( Three Billion, Three Hundred and Fifty Million Naira) into your account with United Bank For Africa Plc., from the account of the National Security Adviser with the Central Bank of Nigeria, which belonged to the Federal Government of Nigeria and knowing the said sum to be stolen property but purporting same to be payment for the supply of security equipment and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 317 of the Penal Code Act, Cap 532, Vol. 4, LFN 2004.’’

Keneking:
Emefiele is going

What is this nonsense about blaming Emefiele for this? The Man was only CBN Governor for the last 5 months of GEJ's govt. Sanusi was CBN governor over 5 years of GEJ govt, covering the period Dasuki is accused of diverting funds so if anybody has a case to answer it's Sanusi not Emefiele.

Excellent!! In the west talent and hard work will always be rewarded.

We in the south should get out our popcorn and watch this civil war between Sunni and Shia in 3D

In the Great Fela's voice

"They go hold meeting everywhere start to yab human being, animal talk don start again, dash them Armored car. Wettin concern animal with Armored car..'

Ok I must confess my own.

I got 1 bottle of Star beer and a plate of pepper soup from Sambo Dasuki. Please can anybody tell me where I can return 'The loot'

Below is what Buhari tasked you to do, Madam Minister

We Will Be Judged By The Number Of People We Lifted From Poverty - Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday instructed his new ministers to ensure they run a lean government at all levels, to avoid wastage of public funds.

The president charged them to key into the change agenda of government, as they are the vehicle that will administer the change to Nigerians.

He gave the charge when he opened a two-day retreat for the 36 ministers who are yet to be sworn into office yet.

The event held at the old banquet hall of the presidential villa in Abuja.
Mr. Buhari said the administration would be assessed based on the number of Nigerians it is able to lift out of poverty.

The retreat, themed, “Delivering change from precepts to practice”, was attended by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, all ministers-designate and other presidential aides.

Speaking at the opening ceremony before the retreat went into closed session, President Buhari said the ministers must be the drivers of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC’s change mantra.

“You are coming on board the ship of governance at an interesting time. So much has been said about the state of our economy. It is expected that we make the running of Government at all levels as lean as possible, avoid waste and conserve resources. As ministers, you must be the vehicle that will administer the change,” he said.

“Our main task is to turn our manifesto promises to practice and results. Over the next two days I expect you to have a better understanding of the context in which we have taken the challenge of serving our country, as well as the strategies we have adopted to tackle them. I would also expect you to be even more determined to work as a team, and to live up to the high standards of probity and integrity which Nigerians expect of us.”

Mr. Buhari said the major focus of his administration would be diversification from oil.

“We will intervene in mining and agriculture and upgrade the country’s physical and social infrastructure, which will broaden our revenue base and significantly improve the level of employment, especially among the youth. Our economic focus will be policies that will ensure inclusive growth and we will count our achievements based on the number of Nigerians we move out of poverty,” he said.

He reminded the ministers to establish effective communication with their colleagues, and to rout all communication and appointments to the presidency through the Office of the Chief of Staff “as is normal in this Presidential System”.

By this time next year, there will be no wailers or sycophants, only hungry people searching for garri.

Nigerian Army, you've not been able to tackle BH, you now want Iran to add Hizboallah to the mix? You are own your own for that one O!!

Interesting the contrast in response when this is happening under a Muslim President. Can you imagine what people like El Rufai would have said if such a massacre had occurred under GEJ? Even Buhari would have come out to call it a 'Crime against the north'. Where is the ACF now? Is it northerners being killed,how come they've suddenly gone quiet?

I thought they would the blame the following
GEJ
NOI
The Niger Delta Militants
Pastor Ayo
Nollywood self.

Stupid people, when GEJ was there any attempt to subdue Islamic militants was called an attack on the North, now their Aboki brother is killing Muslims (Just like the Aboki Yar'dua did) who will they no blame?

Well why are you surprised? Nigeria is a zoo full of animals and that's how animals behave so no big deal.

rhidollah:
i tink graham and Donald trump should check d meaning of Islam and mind u all religion have fanatics like d xtian crusaders of d 19th and 20th c

Sorry but we need to deal with the hear and now, and the fact is right now it is only Muslims that are going around the world killing people in the name of Jihad. Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Ogun worshipers...etc are not doing this, therefore the focus has to be on Muslims.

Johnnyessence:
(CNS News) – In reaction to the radical Islamic terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Calif., involving one jihadist who entered the U.S.A. on a fiancé visa, evangelical preacher Franklin Graham said “border control,” not more gun control, is part of the answer, and added that “no Muslims” should enter America until a safe vetting process is in place.

“It’s confirmed—San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook was a devout Muslim,” wrote Rev. Graham on Facebook on Dec. 4. “Friends say he had memorized the Koran. The headlines say Farook and his wife were a couple ‘bent on jihad.’”

“President Obama and his administration are trying to blame this incident on gun control when it was caused by hate-filled hearts intent on killing infidels in the name of Islam,” said the reverend. “Take away the guns and this couple would’ve still slaughtered innocent civilians. Their apartment was a bomb-making factory!”

FAX BLAST CONGRESS: STOP SHARIA LAW FROM TAKING OVER AMERICA!

Rev. Graham continued, “It’s happened in France and it’s happening here. ISIS has warned us that more attacks like this are going to follow. Next time it could be a mall or a school, but until our politicians understand and admit the threat of radical Islam we’re going to have more of these horrible acts of violence.”

As for border control and screening of people seeking to enter the United States, Rev. Graham said, “Farook’s wife, Tafsheen Malik, was allowed into America on a ‘K-1’ Fiance visa and reports now confirm she had pledged allegiance to ISIS before the massacre.”

“Mr. President, we don’t need more gun control—we need border patrol,” said Graham.

“No Muslims should be allowed into this country until there’s a process in place to fully vet them,” he said. “We’ve got to turn away those who could potentially pose a threat until this war with radical Islam is over.”

In conclusion, Rev. Graham wrote, “Please join me in continuing to pray for the family members of the victims in this tragic shooting as the funerals and memorials services will begin to take place.”

Franklin Graham, 63, is the son of world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham. The younger Graham is the CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and he also runs the international Christian relief group Samaritan’s Purse. Franklin Graham is married, has five children, and regularly preaches in the United States and overseas.

I don't understand why people have a problem with Trump and this Rev. They are simply stating common sense. Here in Europe many major cities have parts that have become no go areas for Non-Muslims. Even in liberal London, there was a case recently of young muslim man attacking people with alcohol and saying alcohol was not allowed in 'their area'. The world needs to wake up!!! There are large numbers of people across the Muslim world who are sympathetic to the Jihadi ideology. That's just a fact. Western countries need to have enhanced screening for migrants from all Muslim countries to ensure they are not a threat. That is not being racist or bigoted, it's just common sense!

The Anambra gov needed to declare a state of emergency. This is getting out of hand

enigma2007:
I do not have an issue with regionalism because if you study the history of Nigeria well, notable progress and growth were achieved during that era despite the fact that oil (i assume that oil was the point of contention between the people that want resource control or what not) was already discovered in 1956 at Oloibiri. So, oil was available back then but each region was developing its own resources or means of making their economic more viable thereby contributing to the overall growth of the country. Fast-forward some years, the country is so heavily dependent on Oil and that is not the way forward in this current economic climate.

On the secession bit, would there be a peaceful secession? It didn't work in the past and it sets the entity called Nigeria back and personally i belong to that "generation that believes things should be repaired when broken rather than throwing it away" - My humble opinion.

Good points.

I honestly believe that if we are able to go back to a functional regional model, with more power in the regions, that will blunt all secessionist talk to a very large degree. However if we keep this present system, then I can only see the agitation growing over time, as new generations will simply not accept to continue living in a country where nothing seems to work.

Anyone who thinks that fulanis put their own in power to change the status quo must be high on Aisha's pubic hair.
They wanted power, they got it. It ends there. You want the most unprogressive region to 'change' the country? how? Black people sef.

My brother may you remain blessed!! I really don't understand what kind of brains some of us have in the South, that they could really think Northern leadership would suddenly bring progress to the country, having woefully failed for some many years before. As I tried to warn many of them during the election, most of the young ones have only ever known Southern presidents so they've become too comfortable. Those of us who were around in the 80's know just how incompetent and unimpressive Northern leadership can be. Well I guess now the young generation will get to experiene it first hand. #AbokinoDeyChange.

This is just basic common sense. Any right thinking person can see that this country is not working. The states are not functional at all, not to talk of the local govts. Those of us of a certain age can recall the regions or at least what our parents told us about life in the regions. The Northern region was rich with the groundnut pyramids among other crops, the west hamd cocoa and its that from that revenue that Awo was able to afford Free Education. The east had coal. If we go back to a regional model it will force each region to look inwards and that is when you'll see areas like Agric, IT and manufacturing really take off. With the current system the governors are just like big kids getting money every month from 'Daddy FG' and they spend it how they like. Ben Bruce should be commended for raising this issue. The youth need to understand that REAL CHANGE will never come to this country (and by extension their lives) until this structure of the country is changed

TS2:
After the Paris attacks Hollande has gone to the US, come back to France, gone to Russia, come back to Paris and gone to Malta. He is back in France. All these trips within one and half weeks max.

Some people will jus come to Nairaland to talk bullcrap for the sake of talking. I wish I could make your data cease so you can spare us this shameful display of your ignorance.

Once again another dumb poster who thinks he/she is making an intelligent point. Hollande went to the US and Russia for the specific purpose of building an alliance against ISIL. That is the top priority for France at the moment.

Your President is in Paris for a climate change conference, is that Nigeria's top priority at the moment? Olodo!!

MKO4ever:
Uncle Ben, oya swear that if you were the president, you will not visit other countries at all.

Please don't come online and show your lack of intelligence.
Senator Bruce is not saying the president should not travel, he' saying he should not be traveling when the nation is in crises. Do you really think the leaders of developed countries would travel out if their countries were subject to the kind of crises (terror, fuel scarcity..) that Nigeria is current facing? Is going to a climate change conference really the most important task PMB has in on his agenda right now? Could the VP not represent him there?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the most dangerous people for PMB right now, are his blind , fanatical supporters who can't see anything wrong in what he's doing. When Tunde Barkare and Saharareporters are now making critical statements of this govt, then you should start to understand that the old mantra of 'Sai Baba' no longer washes anymore. People voted for change, Buhari better start giving it.
BTW has Buhari visited ANY of the victims of terror in hospital since he became President?

If things were perfect under GEJ, why was Ngozi Okonjo Iweala proposing Austerity measures. With or without GEJ, the tough times were on the Way.

There was no way the massive wastage of the past government will not haunt us when they were partying in Billions.

We can not fix such destruction in a few months. I am not saying you can not criticize or judge the President but do it after a year or two of his governance.

Iam sorry but if after 6 months the president can not articulate how he intends to deal with an economic emergency, then you bet I will be critical of him. I advise you to go and research what Obama had done in his first 6 months of office to deal with the massive problems the US was facing.

I am sorry but being a minister is SERVICE to the Nation. In the US you get people from the private sector who were earning Millions take up cabinet posts where they will earn a lot less. You can't expect the FG to match the pay and conditions of the private sector. If people know they can't make the sacrifice in terms of reduced pay to be a minister they should please step down. It's not by force.

I am no Buhari supporter, but I am with him on this one 100%. Government work no supposed be jamboree.
