So you're not neutral? I'm not trying to blame or absolve any politician but...arguing with someone that has already taken sides is not my thing. I don't even feel too comfortable commenting in politics threads. It often lead to bitter argument.

For you mind abi, Who told you that France created Biafra to cut your oil?
And what year did they did that?
Be a good student of history.

Buhari cant deceive us with yeye road patching, our level is above that now. What we want is Biafra period.

You're only deceiving yourself

zeemahn:
I agree. But the people that are in government now are mostly those that ruled us for that 16 years.

That is simply not true
But in any case, not everyone in public office in the last 16yrs contributed to nigeria's disaster. When people say we shld boot out all old hands and start anew, I just laugh cos is a sure recipe for disaster. Some people have wealth of experience and resources that cannot and should not the dispensed with. Thats the reason people like emefiele and akinwunmi are still given a chance by an opposition Presidency.

engrolawei:
How much pain should Nigerians go through before the change becomes effective. Of what benefit is change when many have lost their lives? Jonathan would have achieved a more stable Nigeria by now. Amaechi and others who left PDP for Apc are part of the cause of the woes of Nigeria and they sunk the ship, went to another ship and started accusing their former colleagues in the sinking ship of being responsible for the ship wreck.

Boo- hoo. Story for the Gods

Jonathan had 6years plus unprecedented resources at his disposal. Instead himself and his cohorts chose to go on a looting spree. He has no one to blame but himself.

sirantonio:
The history of the world? I think you should look up and read about how Japan went from a nuked country to the third largest economy in the world. True it wasn't achieved in two years but the leaders immediately put in place policies that even the masses were sure it was going to work out.Do you even believe in the policies PMB adopts?

Yes

sirantonio:
If that is your definition of change then Nigerians are going to suffer more and I am sorry to say PMB has failed.

In the history of the world, there is no change that was easy. Change takes sacrifice. It means doing things in a different way. Your opinion about buhari is your choice, but for me he is doing very well. We will surely get there

london4luv:
sharap my frnd, u think this uneducated fool will transform nigeria, for this country to be any better we need young men in the seat of power or better still we divide simple

Mr london4luv pls stick to london. You know nothing about nigeria!

KingOfAmebo:
If your definition of forward is the present hunger in the land under this APC government then you need help.

How can a country be in a great mess and you think it is moving forward...Bro abeg no let me swear for you.

Your swear no go pass your mouth, because Nigeria is moving forward whether u like it or not. Its no longer business as usual. You steal you go to jail. Contractors are being paid and returning to site. Those who abconded with our money are returning it. The change is not automatic, but we are on the right path!

KingOfAmebo:
Please answer this honest question: Is Nigeria moving forward or backward under Buhari?

Forward.

DoctorAlien:
What is solemn about the Sunday and who commanded you to observe it?

Certainly not Jesus Christ.

Please dont talk any how. If you are not a catholic or you dont believe in what the church teaches, then walk away. This thread shouldnt be your business

But let me just say that those who criticized catholics for serving communion in church are they themselves doing the same thing today, they also sing hymns and kneel at the altar!

When muslims or other religion are referring to christianity, they are actually referring to the mother church that is universal and that has withstood criticisms and hate for more than 2000 years!

[[s]quote author=ivandragon post=51190073]

I know we have a history of disagreements, but kindly permit me to give a rejoinder to your position...

1.
to start with, Finland is not an oil producing nation, at least not in the way of being a major exporter or even producer (you probably meant Norway?).

2. its a misnomer to say Nigeria is the 6th largest oil producer. Maybe within OPEC. Nigeria is not in the top ten oil producers globally.

3. UAE & Saudi Arabia produce oil in very large quantities, about quadruple what Nigeria produces, yet have a population that is one fifth of Nigeria's... so the resources circulates better.

4. those nations you mentioned have had stable governments for very long, which means a long time for policies to be pursued & realised. I won't get into administration issues/system of government etc.

5. Saudi Arabia with its supposed $800b reserves is having issues. & this is a country that has a fairly well developed development system & infrastructure (in the main cities, outskirts are still very underdeveloped). so why do we think that even if Nigeria had saved every single dime we earned since 1999, it would have saved us now when we had a chronic infrastructural deficit?

6. the House of Saud is a corrupt regime. same for the UAE (monarchies & autocracies always are). countries in Europe built their economies by exploiting other less developed economies in the past. so every system is corrupt, its managing that system to benefit your people that matters.

Nigeria has a huge population - infrastructure gap because since the late 70s, government stopped investing in projects beneficial to the people while our population ballooned with majority of the population growth being people who did not see education as beneficial.[/quote][/s]

My dear if you are going to give a rejoinder, you should at least be factual. Not writing emotionally based stories that have nothing to do with reality.

For your information, finland is a major oil producer and exporter. I didnt say finland has natural crude oil deposits. Am very sure that a look at oxford dictionary will show you what "production" means. But if you are in doubt, you may wish to read:

http://www.helsinkitimes.fi/business/9276-finland-became-an-oil-country.html

There is no country in the world that doesnt have issues. So you coming here to say despite saudi's $800bn they still have issues, makes absolutely no sense. You have said nothing!
The fact is whatdid Nigeria use all its revenue for? Where are the infrastructure that we invested in Why is the middle east (which is nothing but a desert) attracting so much investment, tourism and employment, while nigeria which is blessed with incalculable human and natural resources still stuck with high levels of poverty and employment

There is truly no country without some form of corruption. Everybody cannot be 100% honest and good all the time. But despite saudi's corruption (as u claim) why have they developed so much, while nigeria is still stuck in the stone age for 16yrs?? Please lets face facts, the past administrations have not done well. Period!

She has become irrelevant and so was quickly tossed away. Having been overcome by greed, she tried to usurp executive privileges, forgetting that she only exists as first lady at the pleasure of her husband.
Now her eye don de clear small small

The more troubling news is that OP actually went to school

jesse8048:
So there's no such thing as Biafra but there's Nigeria. Bia nwokem don't provoke me this early morning.

Provoke u as how. There is no need to be emotional. If you doubt the existence of nigeria, check your passport, drivers licence, home address, school address, identity of your parents, boss, family members....all thanks to the country you now want to turn your back on, because things are momentarily not so sweet.

jesse8048:
Tell your Buhari that Easterners want Biafra or true federalism to start with and not his bogus promises.

There is no such thing as biafra so stop with this ridiculous useless talk. What u think is biafra is nothing but a mythical creation that doesnt exist. It was designed by france to cut into nigeria's vast oil reserves. Y'all run around chanting biafra deceiving yourselves.

You better start working hard to improve your life and hold your leaders accountable, and quit that nonsense!

Danzakidakura:
you see why they called you zombie. mallam Musa, within this 15 years have Nigerians ever had it this bad like this 2 years ? pls use your brain its for reasoning not to be used in smoking gutter.

I think nigerians have very very short memory. We are so quick to forget. And to answer your question, yes Nigeria has had it worst! We have been living on a system fueled by corruption and impunity! Ask yourself this, is it not the same oil revenue nigeria earned that dubai used to build the burj (world tallest building), finland used to creation 100% employment, free education and saudi was able to save more than $800billion in external reserves. Nigeria is the 6th largest producer of oil, but what did we have to show for it in the last 16yrs

Pls lets be realistic. Things must change and change is not easy or automatic. There must be pain before there is gain!

Fayose ooooo

[size=18pt]War On Corruption: The Buhari Scandals[/size]

By Remi Oyeyemi

It is evidently unfortunate that certain sections of the media – print, social, broadcast – have been collaborative in fostering media trials of those accused of corruption rather than following through to ensure trials and conviction of those who looted our commonwealth. It is like some of them are on the payroll of Buhari Administration to continue the entertainment of Nigerians to distract from real issues.

It is a shame that so far, not a single person has been convicted of any corruption charge. Not a single person has been jailed so far. It seems that there is a deliberate effort to frustrate the trials so that no one would go to jail for stealing. It seems the media, especially some on the social spectrum of it, who are supposed to set positive agenda of rebirth in the war against corruption, are active conspirators and collaborators in continuous “media entertainment and trial” of the accused.

If no one is convicted, it means no one is guilty. It does not matter how sensational the stories are on the social media or any other matter for that matter. And if no one is found guilty when some could possibly be, then, of what use is the war on corruption; of what use is the relentless media reports and expositions of corrupt persons? Or is this just all about entertainment? Or is this all about the insincerity of the media itself about this war?

Journalists, we are told, are Historians in a hurry. They are so described because of what they do – chronicling our daily events as they happen. What journalists do are brought under the subject of History because when people learn of events, they are able to review the past, evaluate the present and have a guide to the future to avoid already committed mistakes.

It is imperative for the media of all spectrums to continue to interrogate the claim of integrity and incorruptibility of this administration of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and President Muhammadu Buhari. The essence of this interrogation is to see if Nigerians are getting what they bargained for by voting President Buhari into Aso Rock, especially on the issues of cleaner and better governance, transparency and most importantly, the fight against corruption.

This is the template for this piece and in undertaking this responsibility, it is one’s intention to allow the evidence speaks for itself. The task in this piece is simple because it is just a chronicle of scandals that have occurred or reported in the media under the administration of “Mr. Integrity,” President Buhari since he assumed office. This piece would deliberately not touch any of the scandals involving Mr. Buhari before he became the President in May 2015.

Here we go:
1. The relentless effort by President Buhari’s henchmen to get the Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Mustapha Magu, removed from office, by collaborating with the corrupt Senate President, Bukola Saraki not to confirm his appointment. President Buhari has refused to intervene in this matter and has given tacit approval to this heinous effort by keeping silent on the matter.

2. The controversy about the alleged 10 million naira wristwatch of Buhari’s wife broke out at inauguration. For the wife of a president preaching probity and modesty, the optics could not have been worse. The optics were not just bad, that incident portended negative omen for the war on corruption.

3. There is the 9 billion naira wardrobe saga by the National Assembly members. This is a humongous amount in a country where the Federal Civil Servants have to be paid their salaries allegedly with borrowed funds. Up till now, the Buhari Presidency has not made any pronouncement on this absurdity. It has kept silent conveniently. It seemed that the Aso Rock and the Eagle Square are one and the same on this pilfering of our commonwealth. There is no leadership from the president. The silent acquiescence is very troubling.

4. In a document titled “I Pledge to Nigeria” released during the campaign, President Buhari made the following promise to Nigerians:

“I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liabilities, encourage all my appointees to publicly declare their assets and liabilities as a precondition for appointment. …”

The refusal of President Buhari to publicly declare his assets is part of the scandals of his era. He has been hiding under the excuse that it is up to the Code of Conduct Bureau to declare his assets on his behalf. But his failure to use his executive power to deliver on a promise he made to Nigerians during electioneering speaks volume about his transparency as President of Nigeria. Lack of transparency is corruption.


5. Up till the moment of writing this piece, no single Nigerian can claim to know the assets of any of the cabinet members of President Buhari and his personal staff. How do we know that our commonwealth is not being pilfered as this piece is being written? This is also another promise made by the president that he has refused to fulfill to Nigerians who voted for him. Obtaining votes via deceit and falsehood is corruption.

6. “It was Buhari himself who said that he knew when the governor of the CBN picked a piece of paper and gave an instruction that N14bn should be withdrawn from the CBN and that money was withdrawn. That was nearly a year ago and up till today, Buhari is still retaining Emefiele as CBN governor” - Dr. Junaid Mohammed

7. Since President Buhari settled on the question of probing the corrupt practices during the era of former President Goodluck Jonathan alone, the President has to explain to Nigerians why he has not probed the disappearance/mismanagement of NGN 634 BILLION under the tenure of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the present Emir of Kano as the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria.

8. President Buhari has been unable to be honest to Nigerians by refusing to explain to them how he paid the “borrowed” 25 million naira he used to purchase his party nomination papers. If he has paid, where did the money come from? If not, when will he pay? What is the interest value on the loan currently?

9. President Buhari has refused to follow up on the allegation of bribery by his Chief of Staff, Abba Kayri to the tune of 500million naira. He pretended and is still pretending that this did not happen.

10. President Buhari’s refusal to sack his Chief of Army Staff, General Yusuf Buratai who has been shown with overwhelming evidence to have corruptly enriched himself.

11. The refusal of President Buhari to remove General Abdulrahman Bello Danbazzau from his cabinet as Minister of Internal Affairs despite having overwhelming evidence that he has not been able to account for his wealth and he has corruptly enriched himself.

12. Sahara Energy’s $50 billion Scandal has been swept under the ground by Buhari’s aides, most notably the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari and the Director of DSS, Lawal Musa Daura. So far, Buhari has not deemed it fit to intervene on the side of Nigerians.

13. The failure of President Buhari to hold to account the petrol importation cabal who are reported to have bilked the country trillions of naira is also very instructive. This failure remains one of the greatest scandals of Buhari second coming.

14. There has been mountain of petitions against Rotimi Amaechi. Amaechi has a reputation as “one of the most corrupt members of Buhari’s cabinet.” Amaechi has not been able to explain to Nigerians how he got the $36 million with which he bought Jets. His name has also been mentioned by two different judges in serious acts of corruption. President Buhari could have the judges arrested on allegations, but not Amaechi on any allegations. He still allows Amaechi to remain in the cabinet.

15. The scandalous murder of innocent Nigerians without any action by or words of succour from President Buhari as follows:

· The carnage against the Yoruba people of Ketu in Lagos, where several Yoruba people were burnt alive and their properties torched with fire by the Hausa Fulani people.

· The Enugu massacre of Igbo by the Fulani herdsmen and the destruction of their farms.

· The murder of Agatu indigenes, destruction of their villages and the displacement of over 3,000 innocent people by Fulani herdsmen.
· The murder of over 500 Shiites in Kaduna without any consequences by Buhari’s soldiers.

· The continued massacre of the Birom in Jos by Fulani herdsmen without let or hindrance.

· The murder of peaceful IPOB protesters in Onitsha by Buhari’s soldiers
· Repeated Southern Kaduna massacres of Christians by Fulani herdsmen.
· The murder of the DPO, a number of his men and 62 civilians in Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa by the Fulani herdsmen.

16. The former NSA, retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki is regarded as the most despised human being in Nigeria today. He is alleged to have diverted billions of dollars meant for purchase of Arms. President Buhari’s men have gone to court three times to have him tried in secret. President Buhari should explain why he has not been tried by now at least on one count. And why is President Buhari trying to try him in secret and not in public? Is there something Dasuki could say in public to implicate President Buhari and or any of his close associates?

17. The refusal by President Buhari to disclose to Nigerians how much exactly has been recouped from those who stole and who are those who returned money despite Buhari’s promise to disclose their names. By disclosing the amount each person returned, it would have been easier for Nigerians to establish if the Buhari Administration is lying to Nigerians.

18. The padding of the 2016 budget and failure to hold the culprits accountable by President Buhari. President Buhari feels that the best punishment for those who are trying to steal Nigeria’s money through budget padding is mere “redeployment” to different ministries!

19. The lingering scandal about whether President Buhari has a West African Examination Certificate. Rather than go to court to litigate this issue, why not just produce this Certificate for the world to see and rest the case? Didn’t President Obama produce his Birth Certificate to put doubting thomases to shame?

20. President Buhari has not thought it fit to order the investigation of the Central Bank recruitment scandal that involves his family members. It is another proof that President Buhari condones corruption, especially when he is personally benefiting from it.

21. President Buhari insists that the country is broke. But he has permitted the Central Bank of Nigeria to negotiate an image laundering contract worth $95 million and equivalent of NGN42.75 million at the rate of 450 naira to $1. And this is just for 3 months only (from April 18, 2016 to July 17, 2016) with APCO Worldwide, a global communication and public relations conglomerate. Why is the need to launder President Buhari’s image abroad? When did the CBN become the image launderer for President Buhari? What is the job of Lai Mohammed and the Information Ministry? What benefit could possibly accrue from a three-month image laundering job in the United States?

22. The Lai Mohammed’s 13 million naira scandal in which the Minister of Information and Culture caused a letter to be written by his Director of Public Relations and Protocol to the National Broadcasting Commission requesting a loan of same amount. Buhari has not caused this to be investigated.

23. The doctoring of the Presidential Committee on the Audit of Defence Equipment Procurement in the Armed Forces (2005 -2015) to absolve the current Minister of Internal Affairs retired General Bello Dambazzau of corruption and embezzlement. Buhari refused to allow this to be probed.

24. The refusal of President Buhari to dispose the Jets in the presidential fleet and reduce it to two or three as he promised Nigeria. Recently, after so much pressure from the public, he tepidly agreed to sell only two out of eleven! Meanwhile the Buhari administration has spent NGN64 billion on foreign trips alone in 2015, according to the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun.

25. “Change Begins With Me” Scandal on plagiarism of Obama’s speech by the President. President Buhari assured Nigerians that he “hired” the best hands and this kind of scandalous embarrassment is what Nigerians get. President Buhari had lifted a President Obama’s 2008 speech.

26. Buhari’s protective relationship with corrupt Speaker Dogara over the padding of 2016 budget has remained in place.

27. In a country of 170 million people, this is what President Buhari is corruptly doing without let or hindrance. Dr. Junaid Mohammed pointed out the following:

“First, the most influential person in the Presidency today is one Mamman Daura whom as you know, is a nephew of the President. His father was Buhari’s elder brother;
Mamman Daura was the one who single handedly brought up Abba Kyari, the current Chief of Staff to the President. In fact, Abba Kyari knows Mamman Daura more than he knows his own father;
The Personal Assistant to Buhari himself is the son of Mamman Daura;
The SCOP, State Chief of Protocol, and is also a son-in-law to Mamman Daura because he is married to Mamman Daura’s daughter;
The Minister they unilaterally chose, against the interest of the party and against the wishes of Sokoto people, happens to be the daughter of the younger sister of Mamman Daura’s wife. Both of them are daughters of Sultan Dasuki, who was sacked by General Abacha;
Aisha Abubakar – Minister for Trade, Industry and Investment. Her mother is Buhari’s sister.”

The Aide De Camp to Buhari himself, Colonel Abubakar is Buhari’s nephew – in- law. He is married to the granddaughter of one of Buhari’s elder sisters.
The woman who represents Kaduna in the Federal Executive Council, she is a cousin to Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai. It is well known that el-Rufai is one of the closest governors to Muhammadu Buhari;

The Minister for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is the man called Musa Bello, who used to be the Managing Director of the Northern Nigeria Development Corporation, which used to be the biggest holding company that belonged to all the northern states. His only qualification to be FCT minister is the fact that his father has been Buhari’s friend over the years;

There is a young man called Sabiu Yusuf, nicknamed Tunde – probably because of late General Tunde Idiagbon. He is another PA to President Buhari. He is also a grandson of another sister of Buhari;

Hadi Sirika is the Federal Minister of Aviation. He is the son of Buhari’s elder sister.

Hadi Sirika has an elder sister – a niece of President Buhari. Her name is Amina Zakari. Amina Zakari, was and still a national commissioner in the Independent National Electoral Commission representing the entire seven states in the North-West. It is being claimed that Buhari knows nothing about her appointment (before he became President), it is a lie. When President Goodluck Jonathan was re-organising the INEC and he was bringing in Prof. Attahiru Jega, he reached out to Buhari and asked Buhari to nominate somebody from the North-West so that that person would be a national commissioner. Of all the people in the North-West, Buhari decided to nominate his own niece, the daughter of his elder sister- Amina Zakari. She has been there; when Jega left, Buhari was determined to make her chairman, it was because of the massive backlash that he dropped the idea like hot potatoes.

“Today, that woman is a national commissioner which means she is one of the principal election umpires. … I have never heard of any dictator or any tyrant under any system of government whether totalitarian or fascist, appointing his own niece to conduct elections in which he was either a party or going to be a party to; Buhari has done that.”

The immediate younger brother to Amina Zakari is currently the Minister for Water Resources representing Jigawa State in the same Buhari government.
The eldest sister of both of them is now the Commissioner for Education in the All Progressives Congress government in Jigawa State.

28. The Security appointments under the Buhari led APC government is nothing but corrupt. According to the PUNCH newspaper the following are self evident:
Army – North
NSA – North
EFCC – North
Defence – North
Airforce – North
Police – North
SCDC – North
DSS – North
NIS – North
NIP – North
FRSC – North
Fire Service – North
NEMA – North
Customs – North
Defence Staff – North
NIA – South
Navy – South and
If by any chance, you consider the Ports Administration as important to Security of the country – North.

To say the least, the claim of integrity and incorruptibility of and by President Buhari is outlandish, unfounded and bogus. This ought not to surprise those who have been guided by History in the leadership of the APC. Those who did not know or have been misled by the greatest propaganda in Nigerian history would be the ones to be surprised with what have been happening so far since President Buhari was sworn in last year.

The above list is by no means exhaustive. It would be updated continuously as Nigerians continue to ask themselves if what Buhari has given them so far is what they actually bargained for especially in his personally conduct in relation to corruption, the corruption of his loyalists, the corruption of his party and the entire war on corruption that has seen not even a single man in jail up till now.
This is just a page of History in a hurry!

“In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility – I welcome it.”

Spectacularly dumb and ridiculous post.
This is nothing but corruption trying to fight back.
OP why are u more interested in establishing the innocence of the criminals even more than the criminals themselves. Last i checked, not a single one of the thieves has claimed innocence. Rather when caught redhanded, they shout "witchhunting". Well, u first have to be a "witch" before u can be hunted!

All these silly mudslinging will not stopp efcc andicpc from doing their job!

God bless Buhari!

oh my goodness, intelligent my foot, what are You blabbing about, you cited him as an illustration and i picked you up. So what the hell are you instigating? If not him mention any business associate around you that can effect the flow.

[/s]


Please ehn, just shut up.

BlackMbakara1:
I thought is when you have enough to eat before you give out. Meaning supply outweighing demand which automatically crashes the price or you choose not to be rational? I support anything that will move the country forward but will not be hypocritical...

Nigeria is not "giving" anything out. Everything is expensive now because the value of our naira is down. If naira is to bounce back, then we must increase exports. And obviously oil can no longer be depended on as sole forex earner. Its not about the beans, its about securing forex, revenue, jobs and moving away from oil.

BIDOO:
well i believe you are saying this base on paper work not in reality ! Are you kidding me? , Don't you know that those business men you see up there ain't loyal to tax payment? That is where they enrich themselves the more! Mention any european country you know that have ever place an order for dangote cement? Or our neighbouring country that are suffering from currency devaluation you expect to make such order?

Either you didnt read the earlier post or you are simply just not intelligent. Dangote was used as an example to explain the benefit nigeria can gain from a low value naira-dollar. Ok. Try to read, slowly.

BIDOO:
my question: how in return will the masses benefit from this? This is gross miscalculation

Higher demand for dangote cement. More foreign currency flowing into nigeria. Dangote will have to employ more nigerian youth for production. Dangote will make more money so he will pay more tax, which also makes nigeria richer etc. The benefits are huge!

Enemies of progress!

Fani-Kayode often sells falsehood as gospel to his reading public. He's a living danger who should be stopped


There are moments when it’s perfectly okay to wonder what brand of weed Femi Fani-Kayode feasts on. Moments like when he cited his past affairs with beautiful Igbo women as testament that he harbours no hatred toward their ethnic group.

And moments like this week—when Fani-Kayode inexplicably compared leader of the Independent People Of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to Nnamdi Azikiwe and Odimegwu Ojukwu.


Fani-Kayode, who is facing charges bordering on money laundering, shared prison walls with Kanu and Boko Haram terrorists, by his own account.

The garrulous smooth talker recalls his prison meeting with Kanu in the following excerpts:


“When I went to visit the great and brilliant freedom fighter, Nnamdi Kanu, who is the leader of IPOB and easily the most courageous,  powerful and credible Igbo leader in Nigeria today, in his cell we had a very instructive and long discussion.

“I had never met Nnamdi before and I was amazed at his depth of knowledge, his immense courage and his deep convictions



His latest detention for acts bordering on alleged corruption while he oversaw the media and publicity arm of the Goodluck Jonathan re-election campaign, will only make it worse for his reading public.

But we owe it a duty to the rest of the sane world to always call this dude  out when he turns facts on their head like he does in all of his essays.
