Why is he running to the supreme court, appeal court judgement for election tribunal is final.

I am not prophet, but I have said it that there is no unity amongst the Ibo people because I am an Ibo man and I have witnessed first hand, the greed and selfishness amongst my brothers.

The people talking shld answer this question, Who is higher 'God Almighty or Ooni'..... Then d case is solved.

They are one and the same . The white man calls him God, Yorubas call him Ooni or Oluwa

I think that is the Heritage Man, a brand ambassador for Heritage Bank. Good to see ordinary working citizen being rewarded.

Gbawe:
This was my assertion also. In fact I went further to say GEJ was a very dangerous President because of how he created a gangster paradise where miscreant with no conscience suddenly found themselves in charge of very sensitive processes, contracts and positions that gave them unfettered access to the wealth of Nigeria. Imagine handing pipeline protection contracts to militia groups (OPC for example) all for the sake of winning an election? GEJ does not yet appreciate that what he has done, to include ruining literally millions of lives, will haunt him and his generations unborn. GEJ has the blood and death of many Nigerians on his hand. The man is very wicked and callous. I am not and will never be one of those who think he is a "gentle" individual "led astray" by others.

This is nothing but pure wickedness. This is a man who has stolen Bayelsa state funds and was fortunate enough to become the President. This is a man who, the Nigerian State will take care of including his family - what more does he want? Where is he taking these monies to? Who is he trying to impress? Jonathan is an unpatriotic and wicked president, those are the perfect adjective to describe him.

Gawd what did we do to deserve this man? See our condition

sukkot:
i think GEJ was very angry with nigeria. only someone angry with nigeria will operate how he operated. his intention was to fully destroy the country. i have no doubt about that. i have no doubt he was a curse sent by God to punish nigerians. he operates just like satan - smile in your face and pretend to be gentle and kind while killing you and burying you in the background. very serpentine and crafty nature

I could not agree more with you. How can someone continue to steal so many billions of dollars, that person must have hatred embedded in his DNA

That guy needs to enter that place let the inmates let him know how hard it is to live in this country. All these preference treatments is unnecessary

It is obvious that Jonathan intends to surpass Abacha in the corruption game

Can they then stop the useless fighting

As usual their children are abroad, why they are here doing crusade and evangelism.

Your comment raises eyebrows, but you have a point

Majek, Nigeria greatest musician after Fela.

Pure musical genius. Good to know he is pulling himself back. The man still has one more album left before he shuts the curtain.

Apologies on the calculation. I was having a delicious breakfast

1 barrel equals 158 liters

158 liters @ $38 equals $0.2 per liter

$0.2 @ N252 equal N50 per liter of crude oil

Add cost of refining the crude oil, labor cost, other direct and indirect cost plus margin. Overall, I still think N97 per liter of refined oil is a fair price.

Probably market forces might bring down the price once competition sets in and immediately our refineries start operating in full capacity.

Apologies again

My concern is not the removal of subsidy but whether we would be able to increase our overall production capacity. Now that fuel subsidy will be removed, the cost of production and logistics will increase. This is the time to be less dependent on imported goods.

989900:
@$38/barrel, where is the subsidy?

The N97/l is high (considering cost of crude).

1 barrel is equal to 158 litres. In dollars that is approximately N4 dollars per liter of cruel oil @ $38 per barrel. Convert that to naira, you get N1,008 per liter of crude oil @ N252 exchange rate. I did not add the cost of refining the crude and other logistic costs.

N97 per liter of refined crude oil is perfectly fair. I was thinking it would be higher than N200 per liter.

She needs to be professional about her work. Separate personal life from work life. I am sure she has not met mean people who would do anything to just cut you out.

This woman is a plain liar. Blogging since 1999. Blogging never existed in 1999 and I can confirm that.

There was pandemonium yesterday in Kogi, hence the reason why Banks refused to open for business.

This is really good. N400m for bail, plus legal fees during trial. I guess he is going to go bankrupt. I pity AIT staff. They should start looking for another job. On the other hand, this man should be sacked as Chairman of DAAR communication by Security and Exchange Commission (SEC). DAAR communication is a public limited company that NEVER pays any dividend and I have never seen their financials at all.

Both parties are wrong. The sect has not reason to block the road even after senior officers pleaded with them. Likewise the Nigerian army have no right to massacre citizens

See him smiling. What a shame. Time to cough out the media money paid to you by Dasuki because I don't know which Surety will bring his own personal N200m for you.

Now this is a tough one. 200m plus passport. These sureties must be extremely close to Dopkesi.

But Dasuki is a clean man o

Sambo Dasuki, former national security adviser (NSA), has revealed that on the orders of former president, Goodluck Jonathan, he released about $47 million for delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who attended the party’s convention in November 2014.

According to The Nation, Dasuki’s disclosed this in “a statement of witness/accused person” which was filed in the high court of the federal capital territory (FCT) ahead of his arraignment on Monday.

The newspaper reported that the former NSA handed over the money to Waripamowei Dudafa, Jonathan’s special assistant on domestic affairs, and his aide-de-camp.

Dasuki was said to have protested the decision of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to subject him to “media trial” when he acted on the instructions and approval of the president.

I wish to state as follows: that I have been publicly indicted and any statement may jeopardise my defence. Having been briefed by the EFCC investigators on why I was invited, I will answer the charges in court,” the statement read.

That I am aware in November (I cannot remember the exact date), my office requested the CBN to exchange N10billion from the account of the office of national security adviser domiciled in CBN. The money was exchanged at $47m and some Euros which I cannot remember. The exact amount was delivered at my residence.

The money was for delegates that attended the nomination convention for the PDP nomination. The money was paid and sent to Hon. (Waripamowei) Dudafa (SSAP Household) and ADC(C-IC) for distribution on the instruction of the president. “Based on the statement of director of finance and administration (Salisu), Ibrahim Wambai, and Yazidu Ibrahim, all the cash (both foreign and local) are usually given to them for official use.

I also noted the statement of Sagir Bafarawa whose company is Dalhatu Investment which he stated that he received the sum of N4,633,000,000 from the account of the Office of the NSA. I authorised the payment.

The money was for vehicles, motorcycles for youth empowerment and women sent to Saudi Arabia. I got the proposal from the president. I do not have the proposal; it should be at the office in the villa

I have seen the statement of the Zenith Bank account where N5billion was paid. I authorised the following payments, among others: Jabbama Ada Global Nigeria Limited (N400m); R.R. Hospital (N750m); ACACIA Holdings LTD (N1.25b); Barr. I.M. Bala (N150m); African Cable TV (N 350m); Nigerian Defence Academy (N159m); B.B. (N350m); Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (N125,503, 255.11); Coscharis Motors (N119m).

The payments were meant for various partners as earlier listed. I know Basha Nigeria Limited to be owned by Hon. Bello Matawalle. I authorised the payment of N380million for further disbursement to members of the house of representatives as campaign contribution. I authorised the payment of N751million to HEIRS BDC Limited for conversion to forex from the account of the NSA. Money was used for operation in the Office of the NSA.

I have seen the mandate from the CBN signed by me authorising payment of various sums of money to Dalhatu Investment for the reasons earlier stated. “In respect of funds given to Amb. Bashir Yuguda between December 2014 and 2015, I authorised the payment of N1.5billion from the Office of the National Security Adviser for political campaign in the last elections. I remember paying DAAR Communications the sum of N2.120billion from ONSA for media activities for the presidential campaign 2015. “I do not have any company registered in my name, I have no account with HSBC. All payments made from NSA accounts within the period I was there were authorised by me.

In its report, The Nation said that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) confirmed that the N10 billion was sourced from the signature bonus account (oil block account). The apex bank was said to have made the clarification in an October 29, 2015 letter to the EFCC’s director of operations. The letter read:

Your letter ref: EFCC/EC/ CBN/ 12/163 dated 21st September 2915 to the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria and the directive by the management that we provide some explanations, we wish to state as follows:

The N10billion constitutes two tranches of N5.08billion each debited to the CBN/OAGF SIGNATURE BONUS ACCOUNT NO 400225220 vide OAGF memo Ref: FD/LP2015/1/28 DF to the Office of the National Security Adviser A/C Number 20172241019 with the CBN Abuja and the second was for credit into the account of National Security Adviser Account Number 1014199287 with Zenith Bank Plc Wuse II Abuja.

The transactions were consummated on November 10, 2014. The mandate that authorized the withdrawal of USD47.0m was from the Office of the National Security Adviser(ONSA) with REF: NSA/366/S dated November 26, 2014. The mandate was processed for dollar cash payment to Mr. S. A. Salisu on November 27, 2014.

The USD5.0M was via a memo from the ONSA memo REF: ACCT/86/VOL. 2/ 218 dated November 13, 2014. The National Security Adviser Account Number 20172241019 was debited and dollar cash payment made to Mr. Wambai Ibrahim on November 14, 2014 in line with the mandate.

The Euro 4.0m and Euro 1.6m transactions were via mandate from ONSA memo REF: NASS/ 366/S dated November 26, 2014. The NSA’s Account Number 20172241019 was debited and Euro cash payment effected as follows: Euro 4.0m on December 3, 2014 and Euro 1.6m was on December 24, 2014. These sums were released to Mr. S. A. Salisu as stipulated in the mandate. Attached are copies of all the relevant documents please.” Emefiele was reportedly responding to a letter written by Ibrahim Lamorde, former EFCC Chairman.

I am disappointed at the action of the COAS. If his life was threatened, he should not go on a reprisal attack just because he has the power. There should be investigation and the culprits identified. I think the President should call him to order and even sack him instantly because he has abused his power and authority. He has no right to kill people and evade into their private homes. Let the right authorities handle such matters.

The COAS is a disgrace and an embarrassment and he should be sacked

I support the president anti corruption campaign. However, he keeps mentioning that PDP mismanaged the economy for 16 years, yet he frolicks with Obasanjo the president and leader of the PDP for half of the 16 years he is talking about. I really do not get the president's jokes. What is going on here? Did PDP as a party mismanage Nigeria or the human beings in PDP?

bigeagleeye:

Truth be told, only a few musicians can fit in into this bracket! But since the man is for nobody, it is nice he simply thanked everybody!

Ok your comment made me have a change of heart to what I actually wanted to say because I can still remember vividly the nollywood actors and musicians clamouring for their own Dasuki dollar loot.

funkyibodude:
Linda ikeji What else is new.. Mtcheeew every body collected money from dasuki including myself

I don't doubt you and I wonder why people are shocked. If monies were shared for spiritual prayers what else do you expect?

I just don't understand the senator. He definitely has an agenda and it will be revealed with time

needrealuvabj81:
keep dreaming cus even you and your family didn't make it dreamer lady. you people wont allow Jesus to rest

Are you kidding me - why would they allow Jesus to rest. Do you want pastors to go broke

Bonapart:
I laugh at those who take this for a joke...... Christ is coming very soon be warned
thos who fix attachment won't make it with Christ

Yea you are right. Those who are on nairaland will not make it too. Let's all attach relevance to a religion meant for the Jews

The church is losing its relevance and seeking ways to continue torturing people with second coming. Guess what Jesus is not coming and the church will lose its relevance whether they like it or not. I don't see religion holding water in 2077 or 2100 AD
