Deceiving gullible Nigerians...behind the back, he has alloted a nice plot and compensated him with 100m naira to build another one. Deceiving poor fools!

Day in, day out, my beloved President, is showing the world, he is too weak, too old to govern.....

Which president allows a congregation of criminals, certificate forgers, international rapist, drunkards mentally challenged entities masquerading as Senators to hold his government and offices to ridicule and public opprobrium?

Mr President, if you are bereft of ideas on how to tame the Senate...

Then do this now.....


A simple solution:

go after Saraki with all venom and you'll be dropping the cat among the pigeons. There will be outrage among the Senators at the outset but when the assault is sustained, most of them will see opportunities in adversity as somebody will have to replace him. That is when betrayal will assume the front seat.

You know, all of them are survivalists. Self preservation is the ultimate human trait as it drives most of our actions. Arrest Saraki this night and all hell will break loose tomorrow. Senators will threaten fire and hailstones, refuse to sit and all the sort.....but let Saraki spend the weekend in the gulag and you'll be shocked at the songs that some senators will start singing on Monday.

Try it, PMB.

Buhari.....do it now....

Nusaf:
My own concern is the statement made by Dino that The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC should arrest and prosecute him in a case of alleged academic crime.

My question is; is it that the SENATOR doesn't know the job of the agency?

On what basis was his outstanding role in rejecting the confirmation of the acting head of same agency whose job he apparently knows nothing about?

Just asking though.

ijustdey:
Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu, has vowed to continue the fight against corruption, stressing that neither the rejection of his nomination by the Senate nor the report by the Department of State Security (DSS) that he is ‘unfit’ to head the anti-graft agency can stop him.

Fantastic news! Magu is determined to fight the monster and every well meaning Nigerian must rally round him in order to succeed

You will soon know how relevant Tinubu is. All the brouhaha just before the primaries was a plan work. Akeredolu Aketi is the real anointed candidate of Tinubu. ...you all were being distracted with Segun Abraham and the dumbest of all Tunji Abayomi that could only squeeze out 33 votes.

Tinubu will continue teaching you politics. Give him the respect.

Don't rush to type or talk against Tinubu if u don't know the truth behind some of his decisions.

You will soon know the truth of what I said.

mumu Nigerians never check what the survival rate for Nigerians who go to India for treatment is.

NOETHNICITY:
All these years our economy has been sustained on the junk food of corruption.

We have kwashiorkor but because we look chubby we think we are healthy.

Those two bedrooms in Abuja going for N700 million. Those make up artists charging 500k and pre-wedding photo shoots for 700k. Aso ebi for 90k.

Buying Rolexes and Ferraris.

Range Rover Sport all over Lagos like keke napep.

It is all fake.

It's all a mirage.

We've all been living off the spoils of corruption.

That's why the country is so hard now. No money circulating.

Because no money to steal and rent flats and shops for girlfriends.

For civil servants to pay bogus tithes of N500k.

For senators to spray dollars at their daughters' weddings.

For Lagos BIG Boys to spend N2m every Friday night at nightclubs and AY Live & other Comedy Shows.

It's time to face reality.

The party is over. Now we may see the real Nigeria and Nigerians.
Now that money will go into our roads and bridges and hospitals.
It will benefit those who don't have a rich corrupt uncle with connections in oil and gas.
Those who can't travel to Dubai to celebrate birthdays.
Those who don't know what Coldstone ice cream tastes like.
Hopefully the Real Estate markets will surely crash.
The theives with 15 houses in Abuja FCT with uncountable fleet of luxury automobile will definitely be forced to sell them fast for cash.
I would prefer if EFCC seized and auctioned them, though.
All those in the service industry will have to revaluate their pricing.
You can't charge 500k to paint faces anymore; free money don finish.
Welcome to the REAL world.

Some of you just been emotional over nothing..the law doesn't work on emotions..sorry!! Some wailers brain is too limp to understand that it is abuse of state institutions by the Executive in this case to reach selfish objectives. Wailers dont understand the genesis of this issue. Some senators actually raised alarm, they wrote a petition to the police and even approach a court and the judge said IN HIS OPINION, whatever happened there is their internal problems that is what Saraki and his group are quoting today.

The police after their investigations handed over the case file to the attorney general of the country to ascertain if a crime was committed, the attorney general now said a crime was committed and he decided to drag them to court. Saraki and his group now realised there are many problems facing the nation that deserves attention. The question you guys have failed to answer is, was the 2015 senate rules forged?

So forgery is an internal matter by elected representatives of the people who are expected to leave above board? Examine themselves . All your selfish comments are nothing but the manifestations of corruption , illegality, impunity, oiled by stolen funds fighting back. It unbelievable that any sane person will support forgery. This is a criminal offense if proven. It's unfortunately that's why this country will remain backward . Nobody is above the law and the level of desperation for position and power shown by Saraki and Ekweremadu is enough to for all reasonable men to check mate them because they are not doing it for the people but for selfish interest.

The senate standing rule section 110 was very clear and as a result put forward five provisions to be met if the senate standing rule is to be amended yet there was an amendment without due consideration to the said provisions. And we now have dishonourable men and women parading themselves as honourables , instituting shame and embarrassment to the nation even as far as the US. What is bad is bad irrespective of who committed it and when and where.

Forgery is an offense. Saraki and Ekweremadu have a case to answer. The argument that Ekweremadu was not invited by police does not mean that there was no forgery. The argument that the govt is gunning for Saraki does not prove there was no forgery. The senate standing rule section 110 was not met before the new amendment. This is a clear cut case of forgery and efforts should be made immediately to punish the culprits. Nobody is above the law. This should be a teaching moment for all the senators.

Honestly, there is no lie in all I said. I'm not trying to brag, but my dad is a billionaire and she knows this. I'm currently planning to leave the country to further my studies for the benefits of the family company. I had to apply for a visa for her which was refused. A blessing in disguise I must say. Now she wants me to try again. I have dropped her sisters CV with my dad tho he doesn't know them. She wants me to buy her brother a phone. Also my expensive wristwatch she wants me to dash her brother. Some times when we argue, she would be like, don't forget we are not married o. That got me thinking a lot. I talk to her mom so I don't know how to dump her without much hassles. I have a very soft heart which she's capitalizing on. I love and I'm sad as I'm typing this. I don't know what to do.

Catastrophe1:
Nigerian government should free this man. he says he doesn't know anything about avengers. neither has he occupied any public position to have said he stole money. Buhari is bringing curse and punishment upon his children oooo.

Smellymouth:

franciskaine:
for how long are we going to keep dialoguing with criminals? One thing I assure you is dat after dialogue with Avengers, a group will spring up tomorrow with same strategy.

Tolexander:
These Avengers madt gan o!

It won't be surprising seeing the Avengers rolling out their warships to engage the Nigerian military. Jonathan empowered Tompolo to the extent that he was buying warship from Norway on behalf of NIMASA. That was a very costly thing for a President to have done.

halfricanadian:


Dont blame me

Im just tired of everything

Kog45:
Pls nobody is saying saraki should not face prosecution or jailed if found wanting on corruption but a judge without blemish should handle d case.Umar case with efcc is still pending bcs anti corrupt agency said they have not finished their investigation.It is better for another judge to take over than to gives saraki loopholes to fight back.

TPAND:
This is a stupid article.

You measure a states economy by Hotel price and pepper soup joint. For crying out loud, where did Nature position the brains of most Nigerians, certainly not in their head

Eluwilussit:
You dey mind the hypocrites! Let them keep deceiving themselves. Is Saraki any worse than Atiku, OBJ, GEJ, Fashola ,Amaechi, Tinubu, T.A Orji, etc? Nobody likes the dude but he is being persecuted. He is a thief. So are all others.

Eluwilussit:
After reading, this is all you can say? You are biased. I hate Saraki but he deserves fairness. It is his constitutional right. Pls, let's not throw away the tenets of our democracy just because we are fighting corruption. CBN fiasco is still fresh on our minds.

qtx:
this is someone speaking with APC government bribery money in his left pocket and some in the wallet. I suspect you.

Osgilliat:
As a lawyer. You are seeing Saraki as being maltreated using the law. As a citizen we are seeing a crook and a thief that needs to be hang so please don't judge us that we are not a fan of your profession.
The politicians use the stolen money to buy judges and lawyers. As you can see your proffession people following him to court to defend the thief. You and I know so well that if Uman stepped down, Saraki will win this case. He have a lot of money to buy a country.

These politician play dirty and to catch a pig like Saraki you have to get yourself muddy even before you start chasing the pig. That's what Uman is doing. Please let him do this for the sake of Nigerians. We need a big fish as scape goat to send message to the looters.

There is nothing like a fair hearing if you want to catch this looters they are politically wise they will always find a means to undo you.

Whenever we have change in government at the federal level, they won't hesitate to probe the past administration. That's a lesson for them all.

Excellent!
In addition, it's a bit too late to change Umar, due to the complexity of the case. A new judge would have to study/learn the case all over again and the whole process would cause delay

Buhari, Our National Interest and Court Orders
A step below President Buhari's present level of high-handedness only brings us back to the era of impunity that we voted Jonathan out for.
Nigerians are very forgetful of the past. Nigeria, under the watch of the Fmr President, could not successful keep terror suspects in custody because prosecutors failed to prepare a case. We had a system where court orders and injunctions stalled corruption cases and made a mockery of our fight to defeat corruption and insecurity across the country. This time, we have an executive that is willing to stretch its constitutional powers to keep Nigeria safe and recoup stolen fund, yet we're starting to paint the President as a dictator.

Kanu is a threat to our national security. In advanced societies, suspects are detained for issues as trivial as traffic offence to keep them in custody while a stronger case is put together, why must Nigeria be different? Societies with strong intelligence communities engage whatever means is takes to keep terrorists and extremists out of circulation, must ours be different? Indeed, there are global concerns with regards to ethical issues in national security and intelligence activities of nations; developing countries should not be singled out as if we are the only ones involved in such. Indeed, the primary responsibility of government is to ensure its people live neither in fear of terrorism, external aggression nor poverty and other factors that undermine their peace and safety while it also sustains the fundamental rights of its people. However, many advanced nations have passed through periods of national crisis when liberties were exchanged for greater security, the balance between both being restored after such crisis, and Nigeria is at that point right now.

Within the last 10-15 years, advanced nations have defied international charters against enhanced interrogation techniques, illegal rendition, detention without trial and all sort of measures all for the sake of national security. We have not resorted to this yet you're starting to paint us as bad. We have not rendered our terror suspects to Niger, as you did render yours to Egypt for torture, we have not built illegal detention facilities in Chad, as you've done in Cuba, Kanu has not accused our security agents of subjecting him to waterboarding as you've done to many of yours, so what is the fury about? We understand you did what was necessary for the safety of innocent people, just as President Buhari is doing the same. Nnamdi Kanu's illegal entrance into the country with equipment for the purpose of undermining our national security is enough to get us worried, and get a responsible President to act.

On the NIMASA ex-DG and Arms thieves, I doubt if there is any law in Nigeria or anywhere in the world that restrains the authorities from re-arresting a suspect on different charges after he/she has been granted bail on others. Hence, we do not have to blame the President for identifying measures within our laws to use against corrupt public office holders just to keep them from jumping bail. We had a soft-spoken, gentle-looking President whose lame duck attitude cost us $2.1 billion meant for the war on terror and drove us where we are today, but we have moved on. Now we have a stronger, more willing leader in President Buhari and the best we can do is support him to do whatever is right and just to keep us on the path of prosperity and security again.

As Nigerians we must understand that security is a collective task that requires the mutual cooperation of every citizen, and the understanding that our liberties will not be compromised as long as we remain law abiding and do not act in ways that endanger others, as Dasuki Sambo and his partners are alleged to have done to our soldiers and our countrymen up North. We need to understand that a man that literally sneaked into the country using unconventional methods can sneak out using same methods; that we lack the intelligence capability to keep tabs on all suspects, and just like in past cases, corrupt public office holders may escape justice by choosing not to return to Nigeria if they are allowed to pursue whatever medical excuses abroad and extradition is not as easy as it appears. We are protected as law-abiding citizens, and we have in President Buhari what we have always desired, a strong man with great political will to frustrate corrupt public office holders, a step below President Buhari's present level of high-handedness only brings us back to the era of impunity.

[b]It is now crystal clear that Linda Ikeji's source of wealth is dirty and questionable due to her weak defense on allegations levelled against her concerning the #Dasuki gate scandal. I believe her blogging business is just a smoke screen to cover up her shady deals and political romance with Abuja big wigs. No sane mind would be convinced that linda maintains that life of affluence through selling of ads and blogging. As far as I'm concerned her blog and traffic is over hyped and is no match for Nairaland in publicity and traffic. Judging by traffic, the owner of Nairaland should have bought a private jet if it was easy as Linda portrays it to be. Most people attacked Linda's accusers on ethnic and tribal sentiments forgetting that in every rumor their is an iota of truth. Linda's show off on the newly acquired property in the most expensive area of Lagos on social media is enough reasons why the authorities need to beam their search lights on her. Blogging can never buy you a house in banana island no matter how hard you try to sugar coat your earnings. Don't forget that irrespective of what she earns, she spends money too and also portrays herself as the bread winner of her family meaning more responsibilities on her income. All this responsibilities and assets on that multicolored haggard website in the name of blogging Hell no. I won't be surprised if she is finally implicated in this arms saga. It shall never be well with anyone who benefited from this blood money cos I lost a dear friend in battle early this year and it saddens me to read about these millions and billions flying around [/b]
