And no national news paper published it?

Every sensible person should ask the op to post the link that confirms this lie; but alas! sentiment has taken objectivity from our youths.

Belief, ignorance and culture are the factors that encourage this problem. U can have sex and not make children- the rich who are rational know this; the poor thinks birth control is against God, and having more children means God's blessing.
It's not about poor men having more time to Bleep, but the ignorance that destroy them. The rich Bleep every where!

LadyFiona:
How do you differentiate a university graduands and school of nursing graduands? Please , your ignorant stereotyping of graduates of schools of nursing is wrong. The level of educational achievements achieved by an individual does not reflect or connote an increase in/ acquisition of good interpersonal communication skills. These skills are often in case of nursing learned by every nurse before graduation irrespective of where you graduates from. It is an important rational before being liscenced as a professional nurse.
So I beg to disagree on that.

And, I am not holding briefs for my erring colleagues.

I have made my point clear and i have no intention to argue with u. The point is: it's the attitude of the nurses that contribute most in crumbling the sector than lack of equipment/govt policy.
u can try to explain why a cruel and incompetent nurse should be excused for his inefficiency, but the public know some of them are merchants of death.
To put it mildly, the public see the nurse in the public hospital as the nigerian police.

LadyFiona:
I didn't see your response before replying him.
Surely, there is a crass lack of understanding of how the health system works especially in Nigeria.

No matter the sophistry employed in running the PR, the experience of most nigerian stands as a sore reality that the nursing profession, as practise in public hospital is anything but efficient.
U didn't talk about the rivalry bw u and the doctors.
A lot of Patience died as a result of non chalant attitude of the nigerian nurse, than lack of equipment and govt. policy.
With due respect to the few good nurses,and the nurse with b.sc nursing; most nurses from the school of nursing lack apt knowledge of the profession.
i once registered at a general hospital and was asked to take my file to the out patience, where i would be attended to. On getting there, i asked the nurse in charge, the right place to place my file, since there were three heaps of file on the table. And the nurse looked me straight in the eye and said " place it on my head, idiot".
It took the sympathy of other patience to show me the right place to drop my file.
I know u can explain this by saying may be he was tired, having had to attend to countless people.
My advice to nigerians: pls always go to teaching hospital where the attitude of these health workers is checked.

Nice attempt at history but some of your post are factually incorrect. The Annang people don't have a culture of fattening a lady b4 marriage, the Efiks do.
Also the masqurade shown and tagged Akwa cross isn't correct.
The Annang occupy ikot ekpene part of akwa ibom state.
There is nothing like efik/ibibio. Efik is the purest form of the language, though spoken by minority group; others are variant form of efik.

biafranqueen:
Stop telling us and show us.
APC got all the secret list and accounts from America but they never arrest anyone yet.
They have been working with the oil accounts for 6 months why have they not brought proof of 20 billion missing.
Where is the arrest and convictions.
We showed you contract inflations in Rivers and Lagos but they are ignored.
Anyway one finger pointing at accused three fingers pointed back at accuser, such is life.

Words on marble! The deceit was legendary, their conning acumen exceptional and the victims were youths who are bereft of ability to reason.
Youths whose only duty is to insult, attack and chant sai baba at every sound of " i will pight kwuoruption".
Youths who are incapable of asking the right questions, rather they are given to all kinds of prejudice.
After 6 months, the alleged missing 20 billion is still not found, and like the chibok scam; may never be found.

jomoh:
First if it is going to be used to create infrastructure, its is going to have to come from somewhere. Crude sales or whatever the government is selling but it is not there.

Simply put. "Nemo quod non abet" you cannot give what you don't have. If Nigeria is not making the money, they cannot give it.

The federal government only prints money for the masses through banks they don't actually used the printed naira. They only use virtual currency which is dollars and if you don't make the dollars, you cannot change it to Naira.

Also if the FG decides to print Naira, it will not have any positive effect on the economy. The FG only pays contractors from the money it has made from different revenue generating agencies. All these physical naira notes we spent are just physical representation of what we have in bank. The FG won't pay by cash, they will only pay through bank account and when you don't have anything in your account, the physical naira note will be useless.

It's good u have to break it down to the simplest form, but i doubt if majority of these youths will still understand. They could as well tell nigeria not to engage in any trade, since we can conveniently print the cash we need.

Hahahahahahuhuhoho! Why am l not surprise at the thought of asking buhari to print more money? U see that will be great and I'm sure buhari is already thinking about it. After that u guys can stabilise oil price and boom! our economy will blossom. Pls remember to ask Idi Amin for manual on this. Sai baba and his youths!!!

Speaking to Channels TV and NTA in India,
Buhari, when asked, DIRECTLY, about
Amaechi's problems in the senate, said :
"... those that are having problem in the
National Assembly I DOUBT IF I HAVE
MEET HIM IN MY LIFE ... "
ME :It is either the man, Buhari, is an
impulsive Liar or he does not remember
the people he meets in his life.
So Buhari has never met Amaechi in his
life??
I think Nigeria is in a deeper mess than I
initially thought.

south Germany! to see president michael!

1. I did not make any assertion about akpabio's guilt, I said the allegations about Fashola spending too much on a website is a matter of opinion since this is the state's mandated going rate the agencies involved by law go by when awarding contracts.

2. The allegations against Fashola was misguided and misapplied since the state agencies involved was responsible for the contracts by law and not Fashola. The should have tender their concern before the state legistlature to scrutinize the way the agencies award contracts and make changes if needed.

3. Spending too much on website is not a crime, it's a matter of opinion and if you really need answers, ask the agencies involved unless you have credible evidence that the Fashola awarded the contracts himself and directly enriched himself, how much he diverted, how he cashed the checks and in whose account the money landed.

4. Per Akpabio, his case is very different. This is about billions taken out of the treasury without any specific project or service attached to the huge withdrawals..

5. Hiding under rubber stamp legislative budgets is nothing but a shell game to give official cover to day light looting. After telling us that the money was secured under legislative approved budgets, you still have to tell us what the money was used for precisely.

6. The old game of looting is to assign huge funds to special duties which is a slush money with no specific goals or agenda, it's free money to do anything with and such absurdity exists only in Nigeria.

7. Akpabio's job now is to explain to the EFCC whate necessitated N18 billion for N18 billion under the guise of special services. Sounds more like entertainment money.

9. Akpabio presided over the richest state in Nigeria and the largest state budgets, but after 8 years in office, he did not build 1 single hospital and the only one he labeled hospital shortly before leaving office was an empty building with no hospital staff and the rented equipment he showed of with were removed by the renters. It's basically an empty building erected just to deceive.

10. He was able to withdraw N18 billion for special services aka smoke screen, but still couldn't equip his empty so called hospital with life saving equipments for his people to access to save their lives.

11. His N39 billion football fiels is a waste since the place is yet to host anything since commissioning. The people of akwa ibom are yet to make 1 kobo off that fiitball field.


12. After budgets after budgets and after billions upon billions, the Tropicana is still uncompleted, he commissioned a cinema and an empty mall.

13. The only projects he completed after the roads and flyover are.


A. 1 cinema

B. 1. Library

C. 1 Football field.


That's all he did with the largest yearly budgets in Nigeria. A state with just 5 million people.

Fashola with 20 million people and smaller budgets commissioned projects practically everyday till he left office.

Fashola Vs Akpabio


^^^^^^ That's the difference between bot men in living color...

Allegations without proofs are conjectures.

aresa:
I read this essay twice and still din't see any criminal activity or embezzlement, just a laundry list of contracts, amount paid to contractors, suggestions and innuendos..


Maybe it's just me, please highlight the criminal part like stealing money, embezzlement and in whose account all the money went...

With akpabio, billions was taken out of the state's pocket with zero specific reason/s per what was done with the funds and this is why the EFCC is eyeing akpabio.

Saying Lagos state spent too much money on a website is just your opinion and it doesn't mean any crime was committed especially since the contract was awarded based on the documented going rates at the agencies involved and for Fashola to be criminally liable for anything, you have to prove that the money or part of the money went into his pocket or bank account which is not what they are alleging, just that the state spent too much in this and that which is really not a crime, it's just your own opinion.

And you wonder why the EFCC don't pay attention to these silly and waste of time rubbish..

And did u read the rebuttal? no! for u
akpabio is already guilty.
Akpabio, who spoke through Akwa Ibom
State Commissioner for Information, Mr.
Aniekan Umanah, said those accusing him
of impropriety did not know the workings
of government.
Umanah said:”Every sum withdrawn from
a government account is tied to a
subhead and there must be a budgetary
provision. To attribute fraud to
withdrawals, which had the full sanction
of government and was accommodated in
the budget, is strange, mischievous and
untenable. More so, when one
understands that there are checks and
balances which guide all aspects of
government financial administration.”
He said the allegation that the state
government spent N50 billion on the
March general elections falls flat based on
his explanation of the workings of
government on financial transactions.
“There was no such provision in the
budget of this year and such an amount
could not have been paid as an extra-
budgetary expenditure and yet salaries
and other commitments were met. We
challenge the petitioners to provide proof
to support this wild allegation. Who was it
paid to? How was it paid? Where was it
paid? And when was it paid,”the
commissioner said.
“Senator Akpabio does not own a 25-
storey building in Victoria Island or in any
part of the world, as alleged by the
petitioner. It is also patent falsehood that
the house at 22 Probyn Road, Ikoyi
belongs to Senator Akpabio.
“It is a rented building which ownership
can be verified from the Lagos State
Lands Registry.
“Senator Akpabio does not own the
properties mentioned in the petition to
belong to him. You can verify the
ownership of the properties (5 Okokosi
Close, Maitama and Plot 28 Colorado
Close, Maitama) from the land registry in
Abuja,” he said.
He also denied that the state received
over N2 trillion as oil allocation.
“Please do note that the idea that the
Akwa Ibom State government received
over N2.5 trillion in the eight years of the
Akpabio administration is an outrageous
lie.
“What this suggests is that the state
government received an average of N26
billion monthly for the period. What a lie!
From published accounts of disbursement
from the Federation Account, Akwa Ibom
State never received up to N26 billion in
any month throughout the period

modath:
Doesn't change the fact that the so called CACOL don't have a foolproof case to present....

Akpabio was presented with proof.....

I'd take silly over bad any day, silly is inadvertent while bad is deliberate evil.....

Fashola won't be prosecuted cos it's your dearest wish..

Boko haram members should be nominated for ministerial position as a sort of amnesty.
poverty caused their agitation and the members should be begged and offered money as compensation.
Also, all the soldiers who killed this freedom fighters must be prosecuted.
Attack on boko haram is attack on the north. God bless the north.
Allahu akbaru akuya!!!

Yea! no outstanding apc youth; only the sai baba youths are in abundance!
How else could one possibly describe a youth who believed all the campaign propaganda of apc?

One would wish that our telecom providers embraced this noble project, but no! they will rather throw money around "celebriff-raffs", who promote bad influence in our society. Kudos to maltina.

#NigeriansMustBegBokoHaramaToEmbraceAmnesty!

Corruption blues "Amaechi = Innocent until proven guilty. Fashola = Innocent until proven guilty. Dambazau = Innocent until proven guilty. Stella Odua = Guilty until proven innocent. Diezani = Guilty until proven innocent. Okonjo-Iweala = Guilty until proven innocent. Welcome to APC propaganda." - Kingsley Uzoma

That's udom emmanuel

tayebest:
Ameachi remains innocent until claim guilty in the court of law!

Dazzol

I wish u had the same opinion on other accused persons esp. Alison Madueke. But no! She must be guilty before the court even considers her case. This hypocrisy is legendary.

LieDetector:
By rough calculations, it'd take 2.85 months which is approximately 3months to name the remaining 15 ministers.

How long do u think the national assembly will need to confirm the ministers?

This is not to mock the snail pace attitude of our president, but a puzzling thought of a sincere nigerian, who is at sea; figuring out what direction the present govt. is heading.
If it takes buhari 4 months to name 21 ministers, how long will it take to name the remaining 15?
take constant to be fullness of time.
What is the guarantee it will take national assembly less than 4 months to confirm the list?

One word: apt.

kolmart:
Am amazed at times when reading some comments. Some people are nuisance who don't even have second thought when commenting. Is this the first time bomb blast will occurred in abuja? Why this useless people insult out president for not visiting the scene or did Saudi Arabia prince visited the stampede scene that happened in mecca? How many citizen of that country insult their king because of that some nigeria are stupid though I don't blame them most of them are already dead when they are still alive due to their poverty condition so they can't think deeply again sorry for them. Does the visit of PMB will resurrect the dead? Useless people.

Are u buhari's school mate? just curious.

This isn't a good site for selfie, u won't see buhari and buruntasi! alahu akbaru!

buhari should pls grant boko haram amnesty! Afterall niger delta militant had theirs. alahu akbaru! one nigeria!

Is sen. Ita enang a special adviser or a special assistance?

chisos!!! warris dis? guess their state of origin?

TroubadourM:
I read his post, since he couldn't pay those dollars into the bank, and shouldn't carry them with him (declared or not), how was he supposed to swiftly carry on his business. Nobody told us how much dollars went to mecca earlier this month, dem dey craze to raid holy airports & search em holy planes??

Exactly my point.
I posted earlier that the culpability of the traders was not the
point that caught my attention, but going
to the market to arrest the dealers.
Except you will feign ignorance, majority
of operators of bureau de change outside
existing monetary regulations are
northerners. why pick on onitsha?
couldn't it have been enough to
confiscate the money and prosecute the
traders than go to harrass the dealers? i
have been directed several times by
bankers in the bank to this black market
dealers; it's no secret. If efcc want to do a
sincere job, why not go to these known
black market spots, from the north to the
south?

TroubadourM:
Inasmuch as these traders might have just wanted to cut corners, it's still possible they were ignorant of the policy, the CBN & EFCC hunting for dollars everywhere (even though they never remitted the billions recovered in the past) should make it a duty that people understand this things the layman way, instead of raiding airports, we all know the real laundering goes in diplomatic pouches and briefcases. I knew the moment some people heard "igbo", they'd even rather wish the money would be sized and given to them, well, wishes ain't horses & this is not 1970, and knowing fully well that some other sections of the country has people so illiterate and ignorant they can't even use commercial banks, it won't be long before the table gets turned around, unless those wailing about witch-hunt are actually correct and only a particular tribe got the searchlight constantly beamed on them, if not am sure much more dollars would be discovered if some other airports & markets are "raided".

Go and read the post by masscot. it's just few posts before yours.
