You still do not get it.
As long as the likes of OBJ, Anenih and co are still untouched, things remain 'unfixable' in Nigeria.

Atiku can end all that.

OBJ is pro-North.
Ribadu is pro-North.
Nuhu Ribadu is a Northerner.
So he cannot be a political pun in ACN against the North.

Answer: No.

Maybe a political pun against the South. But not the North.

Ribadu = OBJ is a win-win situation for both the ACN and the North. A detriment to the South.

ACN is supposed to be a western stronghold.

Beaf:
What has Obj got to do with the matter? It is Atiku that's wanted in the US for money laundering. If you look toward the bottom of this linked document, you would find that the person on whom several attempts were made to serve a summons, was Jennifer "Douglas" Atiku, it surely wasn't Obj: http://www.valawyersweekly.com/vlwblog/files/2009/01/motion-e-mail-service.pdf
They chased her all over Abuja, but she had fled to Dubai.

Dude, try to make sense sometimes. Atiku is a criminal.

Atiku may be a criminal according to you in the US, but not in Nigeria.
Please, go take a nap.

OBJ has everything to do with this. Transcorp and all that jazz Atiku can nail him with to the cross of fire.
Why don't you ever prosecute your own criminals in Nigeria?
Why are you looking for other foreign countries to do it for you?

If you want to prosecute Jennifer Atiku do so.
Linking her to Abubakar Atiku is a wild goose chase.

He has been cleared to contest the elections and his name is NOT on the manifesto of criminality.

If you are on GEJ's payroll on Nairaland, he paid you for nothing.

He is in his ancestral shrine.
Looking for miracles.

We don't have elections, only s-elections.
So my contribution is 'siddon-look'.

Please, let him contest.
I actually want to hear what he has to offer.

I will welcome this any day. Jonathan would have to use his native tongue to communicate, via an interpreter of course. I think his wife speaks better.

Beaf:
. . .Because Jennifer very hurriedly sold their Potomac mansion and fled the US for Dubai.

We know all this your noise is because OBJ will have to face his nemesis pretty soon.
I hope Atiku gets the presidency.
I would like to see the father of corruption OBJ put away for good.
Get ready to cry.
Baba wor wor 70s goes to jail.

fstranger:
Yep!
Allahu Akbar!
What are you having for Thanksgiving?
Anyway, as usual say hi to Zainab for me! How are the kids? Hope they are doing fine?

Till we talk, ma' salam

I never  trusted that 'spambot' of a thing. I think it was made by Nuhu Ribadu himself.
A real computer genius.

Thanksgiving will be great. My flight going back home just touched down.
I love Delta Airlines
Happy thanksgving to you and yours(correction noted) too.
Off from work for 6 weeks.
Zainab and the kids are doing fine.
.
Happy Turkey day to you too.

Anybody wey see truth dey hide am na fool because u no fit use hand cover pregnancy for long.as far as dis we niger delta dey concerned this man no go win our vote.

Dati na ifu dem county ya vote.
Or ifu dem know say you dey alive sef.
Vote wey dem don count decide the winner since.
You dey for Naira dey make yeye noise.

It looks like this "spambot" has taken a liking to "Emeagwali".

Good. So we can end this year in piece and not in pieces.
I plan to be out of Nigeria during that time.
I will relocate all my family members to a 'green zone'.
Then watch from afar.

It is going to be interesting and heads will definitely roll.

Aluta!

Let me go and mark these dates down.
I don't want to hear anything about "hanging chads and dimpled chads" in Nigerian politics this time around.

Osama10:
These Northerners talking about zoning has ruled this country for almost 40yrs now.

Why not allow the other regions to rule for that same period of time then we can start this zoning thing properly.

Sorry Military rule does not count in Nigerian democrazic history.

OBJ=10 years including with Yaradua/Jonathan.

So, Southern Nigeria has ruled for 10 years.

Time for the North to take over. Next time don't let the likes of OBJ take it all. Learn to share the loot. Next time South West 4 years. Then South South 4 years.

Go Atiku!

Beaf:
As to the bolded, please accept my sympathy, life must be quite difficult difficult when you wake every morning realising you are daft. There is no punishment worse than dealing with a dimwit.

In case it hasn't occurred to you, this thread is about Atiku; its easy to create your very own Jonathan thread (if thats what you prefer); but I assume you lack the ability.

Address issues like the one below (one of several) or crawl right back under your slimy rock:

Shhhaaarap.
This thread is about the Nigerian s-election process and the propaganda associated with it.
What is new about money laundering?
Is it not a Nigerian tradition?

Is that a criterion(correction noted from my resident English teacher fstranger on NL ) for disqualifying Atiku?

You small, "tight", unrollable, smelly, piece of nama excrement.

Sorry, I will not waste one more drop of my precious diesel on you and your educated fools/filibusterers on this thread tonight. Tell GEJ to give us light please.

Good morning.

idupaul:
@ Blazay . . U are a ruminant that doesnt wish well for Nigeria. GOD PUNISH U AND ATIKU . . U rabbit

Amen and to you too.
What punishment can be worse than being born a Nigerian?
Let us enjoy the curses jare.

Atiku for 2011-2019[b]+2.[/b](TTA by proxy) Third term agenda.

Aluta Continua!

olas2u:
Some Nigerians are just silly

Prove it.

jason12345:
GBAM!!!!! Infact, GJ is very scary. within months of ascending the throne, we started talking about civil war!

What do we expect from a local fisherman? OBJ's best choice of a VP to a terminal president Yaradua?
Why was he scared of Atiku?
The reason I want Atiku to get that ticket.
So OBJ can really have his final reward and punishment.
The reason IBB stepped down of course.'IBB cannot go against OBJ.
Only Atiku can do it.

I am loving this I say.
Fowl nyansh go soon open.

Beaf:
^
Wow! Were you born daft, or are you just play acting?

Maybe both.
Just give us another reason why you think your Jonathan is better than Atiku.
Please, stop starting threads with useless propaganda against Atiku.
Especially when we all know that one is just as corrupt as the other within the same PDP.


Money laundering. Will the real Jonathan Ebele Goodluck stand up please.

Aluta Continua!

We know.
So did all other politicians.
So, what is your point?

So what happened the the files of Dammiit Patience and her laundering activities Ribadu suddenly had amnesia about?
Disappearing evidence WITHIN Nigeria.

Most wives of political execu-thieves are money-laundering mules in Nigeria and all over the world.

Teresa Nkoyo Ibori just bagged 5 years.

One of Andy Uba's many mistresses was caught in the US and a plea bargain given.

Quiet jor and go and deal with your Halliburton list of crooks. Not to mention those with defaulting bank loans like Dangote and go keeping Nigerian banks bankrupt all year round.

Did you forget this too? Right here on Nairaland. So let us keep digging.

Patience Jonathan: Nigeria’s Most Powerful Woman
Posted on October 28, 2007 by Adeola Aderounmu| 4 Comments

By Sonala Olumhense.

ON September 11, 2006, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) seized $13.5 million dollars (US) from Mrs. Patience Jonathan, the wife of then Governor of Bayelsa State, Mr. Goodluck Jonathan.



The International Herald Tribune quoted the EFCC spokesman, Mr. Osita Nwajah, as saying that the seizure was made after Mrs. Jonathan had allegedly laundered the money through an associate.




It was the second time in one month Mrs. Jonathan was hitting the scandal headlines. In August, the EFCC had obtained a court order to temporarily freeze N104 million she had allegedly tried to launder through one Mrs. Nancy Ebere Nwosu. The EFCC said it had reason to believe the seized funds belonged to the public. In a sworn statement, Mrs. Nwosu implicated Patience Jonathan, the EFCC said.




But remember, her husband was the Bayelsa State Governor at the time. And Mr. Jonathan’s government dashed to the defence of the First Lady of Bayelsa, alleging that the reports were part of a “plot to destabilize” the state. Government spokesmen were falling over each other to speak for Mrs. Jonathan. The Governor’s spokesman, Dennis Sami, described the allegations as a “charade,” the target of which was the Governor.




“We are aware that the said Nancy Ebere Nwosu is a very remote relation of Her Excellency who has lived abroad for several years,” Mr. Sami said. “She is a successful businesswoman of no little means whose business concerns do not involve Mrs. Jonathan.”




Mrs. Jonathan’s spokesman, Kenneth Ekpelu, fired an e-mail to Vanguard newspaper in which she spoke of “her husband’s opponents who strangely perceive her as the soft spot in his political armour and won’t stop hammering away at her until their decisions to oust him from office are met.”




It is funny how these canned money-laundering defenses sound alike. Didn’t former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s United States lawyer, Mr. Kunle Fagbenle, say last November that Andy Uba – who used part of some funds laundered by means of the executive jet (allegedly without Obasanjo’s permission) to shop for Obasanjo’s farms – could not be accused of money-laundering because Mr. Uba was “already a rich man”? And did not Obasanjo say the Uba scandal was only a “calculated attempt” to ruin his name?




Anyhow, despite the massive protestations of Governor Jonathan, the EFCC pressed ahead. On August 22, 2006, Justice Anwuli Chikere of the Federal High Court, Abuja authorized the freezing of the N104 million “pending the conclusion of the investigation of the activities of the said persons in connection with their involvement in the acts of money laundering and other economic and financial crimes related offences.”




And then, barely three weeks later, Mrs. Jonathan was in the news again, reportedly being separated from an astounding $13.5 million in US dollars. She must have been one angry woman. But all that was one year ago.




Since then, the Jonathans have moved up in the world. They have left the relative squalor and poverty of a mere state governorship for the Vice-President’s estate. They have left the petty limitations of Bayelsa for the limitless expanse of Abuja. Only one man now speaks before Mr. Jonathan does.




Yes, Mr. Jonathan is the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the second most powerful man in the country. He is also the man President Yar’Adua is trusting with the challenge of the Niger Delta, where billions of dollars are expected to be spent over the next few years.




He has also been talking about democracy, corruption, the rule of law, and development. Just over a week ago, at the All-Delta Peoples Conference in the United States, Mr. Jonathan disclosed that President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua had authorised the release of all funds due the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). In addition, “Special funds will be provided for special projects in line with the master plan,” he said.




And Mrs. Jonathan has been speaking, too, telling Nigerian women how they can become more fulfilled citizens. Up in the rarefied air of federal authority, you can preach any sermon, even while you have around your neck diamonds and jewels of $13.5 million, and gold bracelets of N104 million.



This is all quite ironic. The Jonathans are living in a dream state. They moved into the governorship in Bayelsa when Diepreye Alamieyeseigha was consumed in a corruption blaze, and into the vice-presidency when the PDP sought someone to balance Umaru Yar’Adua on the PDP presidential ticket.




But they take quite a few scandals with them. Mr. Jonathan left Bayelsa State in a thick cloud of suspicion. Many Bayelsans believed his government had fleeced the treasury. While Mr. Jonathan said upon assumption of office he had inherited a state treasury N25 billion thick, he refused to say what was left there as he vacated office. Bayelsans alleged he had swept the commonwealth clean, and that most public projects were left uncompleted.




Two months after he assumed the vice-presidency, Mr. Jonathan came under severe national pressure to follow the lead of his boss and make his assets declaration public. It took several nerve-wracking weeks of trying to dodge the responsibility, but he finally released the document, which showed the former university lecturer was worth an absolutely unbelievable N295 million. He had only been the Governor for 17 months, and this means he had been growing richer at the rate of close to N17 million per month. Naturally, wink-wink, he did not include his wife in his declaration.



Meanwhile, Mrs. Jonathan…


In its report of last April’s election, the New York based Council on Foreign Relations observed that Patience Jonathan was generally regarded as the “greediest person in Bayelsa State” and a woman of great cruelty. Last June, the Niger Development Monitoring and Corporate Watch (NIDDEMCOW), a local non-governmental organization, asked the EFCC to publish its report on Mrs. Jonathan.




The EFCC has not. This is not particularly strange; the Commission is not in the habit of issuing such reports. But nothing has been heard from the Commission since the flurry of activities of August and September last year. That coincides with the period before Mr. Jonathan emerged Yar’Adua’s running mate.




Apparently, even scandals of that magnitude are no obstacle in Nigeria. Mr. Jonathan got the vice-presidency, and the only man he is answerable to is about to put into his hands, theoretically for the Niger Delta, all the diamonds and gold a man could want.




And his wife? Patience Jonathan apparently hates that kind of snail-pace to fortune. Indicted by the EFCC in only eight months as First Lady on a charge of laundering a few Naira bills, she moved to dollar bills in the millions the following month. That same month, the EFCC report to the Senate called her by name.



Again, this does not seem to matter in Nigeria: weeks later, in October, the Owu Kingdom, President Obasanjo’s people, honoured the Jonathans with chieftaincy titles. In that culture, Obasanjo is the Balogun of Owu; Mr. Jonathan became the Obateru.




If Mrs. Jonathan was thrilled on that day, she must be over the moon today. An EFCC indictment, and yet she can get on any of our presidential jets at any time and drink champagne at State functions.




And how much taller she must be, these days as she stands on the authority of the vice-presidency! From such heights, not only do you dwarf an EFCC, but you also are invincible. What a country!




What I really fail to understand is: If Mrs. Jonathan can so effectively laugh at the so-called war on corruption, does that not make her the First Lady? On what basis does she perform her functions – the recommendations of the EFCC? Why has Mrs. Jonathan assumed the status of untouchable, or is she truly the nation’s most powerful woman?

Culled from the Nigerian Guardian Sunday 28th October 2007

The score is 1:1

Next accusation please.


I bet if this happened outside Nigeria, we would have known the real story by now.

Somebody, please pass me my "Lewinsky".

O se le!

Over to you Jonathan. Time for a show-down in the "Gulf".

We shall see who the 'illiterate' truly is.

IBB could not have done this. Glad he stepped aside.

“More grease to your elbow” or simply “more grease.” This is the default expression many illiterate abokis deploy when they want to say “bravo” or “well done” or just express applause for a nice job. It is certainly a distortion of the antiquated British expression “more power to your elbow,” which is derived from Irish English.

The correct phrase is more power to your elbow!
one can grease a palm not an elbow

Thank you ma.
Any contribution to this topic?

You have some deep-seated issues and I certainly hope I am not one of them.
Anytime I log on, you are right there.
Are you an omni-troublesome goddess?
Only a little girl will have this kind of time on her hands when her parents have gone to bed.
I know I am handsome, and even little girls like you find me attractive too.

This aboki only deals with the 'big' girls. Preferrably over 40 with a husband, job and a couple of kids.
Not little girls or 50-somethings looking for sponsorship on the cyber airways like Ilankwadi.

The world is my witness. A teenager is making advances at me on NL.
Allah is my witness too.

Goodnight ma. I have a wife.
Allah be praised.

That just about sums it up for me too.

I am loving it.

u are very wise, may your children give u peace as u seek peace for the nation


atiku ia a disgrace to us northerners so has jonathan is a disgrace to the whole nigeria
this people are corrupt and should not even get to abuja not to say aso rock

Good.
Now, you know your choices.
Pick one disgrace out of both.

Too bad. You and I do not get to have a say in any part of it.
Can you please tell us something new.
Nigeria is only getting what it can afford at best at this time.
All we can do right now is keep taking our water pills to ward off the evils associated with high blood pressure.

AS I SAID, "IT IS COMMON SENSE"

Don't worry.
Common sense is not common.
A high price Nigeria has to pay and will continue paying dearly as educated fools.
Let them keep insulting.
You only keep laughing.
Cheap entertainment.

Hey Boss, I am back.
Told you, I know people

I even know the owner! Very well connected

I think I already figured that out.
In any case, I bind thee.
I see you are not 'killable'.
Many respects.
I am deeply humbled. For who am I to mess with you?
More grease to your elbows ma.
Congratulations.

Atiku by taking part in the Ciroma process and benefiting from it lost any moral right to lecture anyone else on Unity. He has slaughtered his honour and any National appeal he had on the altar of desperation.

How is he different from GEJ?
How did GEJ become the defacto president of Nigeria?
Atiku had every right to contest since the Nigerian people do not determine who gets the electorate.

In the final analysis, may the better crook win.

We need to stop deceiving ourselves with 'selectivism'.

If the Nigerian people were voting these political jobbers into power, that is a different story entirely.

Atiku gets a shot and everyone is up in arms because he is a Northerner.


Taking a look at GEJ and Atiku, the difference is clear.

Atiku is more polished and refined. GEJ? Just a tout favoured by area fathers like OBJ in politics.

Bottom line:

If you cannot put a question mark on the process by which GEJ found himself as the president of Nigeria, you cannot put one on Atiku's political ambition either.

Either way, the Nigerian people do not get to decide who gets the presidential seat.

So, why are we having this discussion?

Remove ethnic sentiments, Atiku is the best there is out there having dealt with OBJ diplomatically for cheating the Northern part of Nigeria out of the chance at it's own 8 years.

Thanks to OBJ and his choice of an unhealthy Yaradua all to forster his third term agenda by proxy. Glad to know the Northerners are not illiterate and silly afterall, having realized they have been conned by OBJ.

We do not have a democracy, so let us stop this self-deceit. Nigeria remains very ethnic. Therefore, an agreement should be an agreement between the king-makers of Nigeria till the slumbering masses learn to take their socio-economic and political destinies into their hands.

Anyhow, how was work today? Hope your wife is doing great? Say hi to her for me.

Atiku all the way.

I just love my Northerners.
See?
No fighting.

Thank God for small mercies, Jonathan does not have any opponent from the Southern part of Nigeria for assassins to start flying all over the place.

Thank you IBB. If Atiku did not get the ticket, you were my next best option.

Give me a Northerner anyday, anytime. I will even prefer to dig up Yaradua all over again.
