Saraki must go to jail.
But the pioneer of this was probably the Bourdillon thief.
Now, let's also review Tinubu's pension bill too.

If I recall, similar was passed in Akwa Ibom. (may be wrong)

What should follow is reforms to this legalised immoral entitlements by ex governors, and should include commensurate standardised pensions across political positions.

First time I'm hearing about contractors being able to submit proposals for evaluation.
Hopefully, no more under table dealings with procurement.

I like them smart first then other things are added.
Even though I have a preference for dark skinned females, its not compulsory.

As long as I can hold intelligent discussions with her and I'm attracted to her. That's all that counts

Some impoverished defenders would soon start jumping in via the tiniest crevices to support a crook who made sure of they and their families underdevelopment.

Yoruba respect values does not make it superior to other culture's values in respect or not.

Truth is there's something wrong with the social conditioning of this country. For all I know, I'll wager 85% of Nigerian parents discipline their children yet it doesn't reflect especially in those holding pivotal positions.

Did those stealing from the nations coffers skip the 'thou shall not steal' lesson, how about the one about showing empathy, 'obedience to the law and keeping order', 'cursing out your elders'
With all the implied respect and values passed down, most would still grow up and do the opposite. It's simply because as they all grew, they saw the futility of instructions in a society which taught them respect but had the elders doing the opposite of it.

All the issues coming to fore is simply the chicken coming home to roost.

Looking at the current situation,
I think Nigeria should start critiquing leaders that have aspirations to rule at least a year or two before elections via way of primaries after numerous debates.

Let them begin to state their policies and blueprints of how to alleviate the many problems plaguing this country. Seems like people with just enough clout throw their hats into the ring whenever its time for elections and end up getting there, then they just continue with whatever orientation is best.

All we've had are a 'postulating leaders' and 'accidental leaders'. The rest don't even have a clue how to solve the problem and are there because they're just known!
No fuel, nor modern railway, even harmonised clean pipe borne water(every one has boreholes instead) is a mirage many years after democracy. Roads are in shambles, corrupt politicians are in power, insecurity, no electricity. Just a barely functional society!!

Nigerian politicians collectively sought to fritter away sums of money that could have been used to provide good roads, water, electricity and so.
Yet idiots see fit to support them even with exposures like this.

DGAF if it's Tinubu or Saraki, but why do I then have to share a country with low IQ electorates who choose to trivalise issues of people robbing their unborn generations of decent standards of living.

Ibori is sitting in jail only because foreigners sought to persecute him, meanwhile here, they are celebrated and regaled at every corner yet the politicians are the collective bunch making sure most Nigerians get up everyday and end up cursing the absence of little to no amenities.

James Ibori is listed, awaiting more details...Though looks like already known information.

It does show some of the most powerful people in respective countries implicated.
Kojo Annan, son of Kofi Annan amongst others.

Anambra Teenager Designed and Built This Drone!

While I have previously seen and appreciated the guy's effort in the video. This video was uploaded last year which I found while searching for 'drones Nigeria'. I'm not sure of the need to claim he's from where you claim him to be from while he clearly stated he's from Warri under the original video description.

Gabriel Emerewah is the original owner of this video

Here's the original video link

This is a terrible precedent being set by this government and those speaking for it.
Apart from an outright condemnation which was never issued rather than a derisive offer of an investigation.

Probably going to be Alfafa grass seeds and not importation of grasses. If one can also grow them and process them into bales of hay, another business opportunity. Hopefully would keep the marauding militant herdsmen at bay.

Also rice importation if the demand can be met is better in the long run. Thousands of farmers on the Fadama and elsewhere produce rice and so would be better we support local farmers than far flung humans from distant countries.

Not surprised...

During the holidays, very few students studying abroad, Nigerian or not, come down to Nigeria for this sort of stuff.
Get paid especially by your politico class for 'bangs'. So much money gets paid you see some of the students lodging in expensive hotels during their stay here.

I read somewhere that Nigeria's defence allocation was on par with the Algerian armed forces for probably the last 5 years.
Comparison of what was bought during the 2 countries during that period would show you the level of wickedness here.

Like for like, Algeria has been able to massively develop and acquire enough hardware plus enabling them to become better trained to deter any large scale type of insurgency or powers that be to want to mess with them.
Their hardwares are light years away from ours plus the benefits of having a well funded army.

gretblue:
Tinubu was cleared in Error under the leadership of your Hero and beloved party (PDP) .

Couldn't care less for any party. The society suffers cos of peeps like you supporting thieves from either of the major political parties.

I'll gladly support anyone that can finally nail thieves be they PDP or APC.
Go on and look at the Brazilian example, prosecuting all and sundry cutting through party lines, they're better for it.

I personally believe the concept of democracy in Nigeria is a political system that can be open to abuse especially by undiscerning electorates.
Lack of political maturity means most suddenly end up electing or abating the wrong people into pivotal positions in our society.

I'm somewhat sympathetic to this government cos I wanted to see our worse problems tackled like corruption. Unfortunately, their work has gotten tainted by we electing the same demons that messed up the system.

Until there is an ability by voters to drill down to the ideologies and mindset of those ruling, there'll be a problem with any corrective efforts to place us on the right path.

focus7:
Some children of hate from SE will not like the news that Tinubu's trial was an error as they hold the belief that Tinubu is corrupt.

No one needs to be from the East to know see through your intentions. It's clearly written Tinubu was cleared in error and not cleared of corruption.

I'm hoping even if Buhari can't, there'll be another opposition government powerful enough to convict the thief of Bourdillon.

Seen the video on YouTube but don't understand the spoken language nor can I know if authentic.
Blurry visuals and so.

I kinda have same mentality as a man but funny enough I get same ladies, women and sundry all pestering about getting married as soon as they see a potential partner. Also if a guy doesn't have a threshold for being comfortable and keeps going until he's probably as rich to afford luxury, what is in it for a lady who would probably tire of waiting for the guy to decide when its ok?

I'm struggling with your point with your car bit especially as you say you live in Europe where many don't see the point of a car as transport systems are very good, are you implying that a car is a prerequisite for marriage now?

Besides I'll also like to know if you mean outright home ownership or what?
I also as a young man do not believe in marrying especially a female who is a liability. There'll be no need to be reminded if married of fatherly duties of provision for family but I'd not expect a scrounger too.

Meanwhile, kindly state the requirements needed of a female looking to get married?
And you living in Lithuania might explain your mentality I think...

Boils down to disposable income. If he has enough, then why not.
Naturally, I used to upgrade regularly until I saw the futility of upgrading just because there's a new phone out. The previous generation are just as capable as the new with just subtle alterations.

So probably not my cup of tea anymore but if he's got the money, it's up to him to spend as he sees fit.

I think the dude further posting up pictures is inflaming the financial irresponsibility and recklessness of Osun's governor. So many unsustainable projects on shoestring funds and loans to boot.
A road accident turned governor, now this is where we are...

africaken254:
off topic :so we are supposed to believe the russians they are leaving syria ,the Ka-52 combat helicopter was delivered just recently

Russian pronouncements should be classified best as Choreographed propaganda.
I do hope they can find a lasting solution to the quagmire there. The likes of JN, Assad and the shitty state should be removed for them to have peace.

Planting is just some of the obligatory nonsense drills to imply they make soldiers better. The supporters would also tell you that second video with horsewhips and cane is another to make them better.

It's part of what makes a few turn out to be sadists after army camp with that brutality.

Wise man. Ala Bellingcat and co.

nemesis2u:
a word of advice my friend it will be wise to blot out the faces of the spec ops operatives etc. posted here , there are crawler software's from multiple countries mining every bit of info on the net and particularly using it to access/link/cross reference social networking profiles for poaching and other devilry
regards and best of luck

That's a Juvenile Crocodile.
Alligators are not native to Africa

I like that the soldiers are becoming increasingly better armed individually. Still a bit to go though...

Also the momentum against BH is extraordinary. The goat shaggers are getting smashed from all angles!
I look forward to a template like the Sri Lankan example of total vanquishing

...

I hope you know that Tyson used it for strong neck muscles which is important in boxing else you'd get ko'ed on your feet.
In the context of what is shown in that video, plainly planting with your arms behind your back and... in the air would give you no benefits of physical conditioning. Like said, I've done planting loads of times, it was always a punishment routine whilst I was a student.

Also research into neck injuries whilst doing headstands like this and people who have died. Few students passed out doing this!

charix:
Google is your friend. The english name is 'headstand'.

All I read is a bunch of yoga and pseudoscience.
You're the one wanting to prove a point to me. So please, I'm all ears.

As it is, this is very far from developing mental conditioning.

mindtricks:
Real talk. But I don't think the intent of this was to dehumanize like many here believe.

More or less did this as a form of punishment from senior students then when you erred.

charix:
The fact it's used mostly as punishment does not mean that's the only purpose; press-ups can get argued the same way since that's the major form of punishment in the military.

Press ups are good for conditioning and physique.
I'll like you to list the military benefits of planting.

Planting is just a useless form of institutionalised torture. It has no usefulness or functionality in combat, psyching, mental forebearance or whatnot.

Training regimes that actually matter are ignored in favour of this... Look up other armies, their training doctrines are far more better suited to developing quality soldiers than this method here.

Before you attack me, I have planted, gotten drilled, jogged and the whole shebang.

This is why these politicians can easily send their kids to schools abroad with the best accommodation, cars and so.

All their thieving parents have to do is dip the bucket into the ocean and they've gotten far than enough cash than their ancestors can realistically gather.

I dare say this is worse than cancer, what is needed is death penalty at the least plus multiple convictions of very high profile thieves so they know it's no longer a field day.

Country made it acceptable for soldiers to assault civilians. No more! They don't have the fučken right!!
Their job is to protect the nation not to assault citizens because they are given the right to bear arms and wear a khaki uniform.

In as much as corruption, this is one of the evils in our society and would love if a law is passed specifically meting out sanctions to any soldier bullying civilians.
