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]

Spot on mate!
No doubt Linda Ikeja is a hard working lady, but she defo has some connections in high places outside of blogging, nothing wrong with that. However, I think she might have collected the awuf money innocently without knowing the source.

DASUKI PROVIDE OUR ARMS OR YOU REFUND BACK OUR MONEY. NO TIME FOR STORY.

Dosuki is not only telling stories, the guy is a comedian and a big joker . He said "These are some of the acknowledgement letters submitted to me by the end-users(the services). It is not for me to go and find out whether the equipment were delivered or not. I am not the one keeping the inventories"

joker of the year!!!

My being a mod has nothing to do with the discourse at hand. My being a moderator does not elevate me to any higher status than you already are. Neither does it mean that I cannot come in to correct an impression where necessary. We are all here to learn and I am free to debate freely with anybody on this forum so far as the debate is conducted within the rules of this forum, which I have always done. So please, drop all that moderator talk.

Anyway, I am not Bini or Edo. Let NigerMan1 himself take the debate from here.

A financial holocaust is coming, the world will be selling down and we in the kingdom will be buying... Bishop Oyedepo Jan 2015 [/

Oga mi, am afraid I have no connection to the above stated monikers.

I believe The ongoing issues in Oando has been thoroughly discussed on this forum and
SMN. Kindly do your due diligence before buying any stock Sir.

[Low prices are crushing Canada's oil sands industry. Shell's the latest casualty. - Vox] is good,have a look at it! http://www.vox.com/2015/10/28/9631410/oil-sands-prices-shell

Most of the posts from yourself and Mr Value(Asks) are stale news/noise that has already been priced into The market.

Crude oil price is currently undervalued and was deliberately forced down by the USA and his allies in order to revive their economies and gain political/economic advantage. Hence, the reason why the CBN is not buying into their call for currency devaluation.

As stated in an earlier post, crude oil prices has bottomed. However, Oando is not a good play due to it's corporate governance issues.

It's all a game to the Goldman sacs of this
world. Therefore, " Be Greedy when others are Fearful"

The Jeremiah we have all been waiting for

Lol, am just another brother in the Lord oo Sir However, starting from Monday most Stock markets would experience a rally till end of January 2016.

Aks:
I pity you and your hard stance . If you want to play, use your fund otherwise ...............

I would not go into too much details. Monday is just round the corner Sir.

PETERiCHY:
For now forget everything about oil related stocks because their near-future is very very bleak.

You're either a novice in the stock market or a scaremonger. For your info, crude oil prices have bottomed. Watch out for a bounce on Monday.

Be Greedy when others are Fearful!

warrior01:
The thing pain you no be small but the author backed everything up with facts na.

What facts?? More like beer parlour gossip.

The jokes are on you guys cos most of you suckers have no idea of what goes on behind closed doors between Fashola, Fayemi and Tinubu

OrlandoOwoh:
Rubbish! Why do people just like matùrbating over Tinubu?

They're wankers doing what comes naturally

otiigba1:
Money ritual? Its only in nigeria people believe this shi"t.

There is nothing called money Ritual! Nigerians! Wake up! From archaic believes!:

The shit is real man! Have seen it live. It's the power of the occultist and spirit of wealth transfer. In most cases it backfires but the damage would have already been done in the life of the victim by then.

Don't suffer from the Arrogance of Ignorance. As they say, better safe than sorry

Toks2008:
I am the last person on earth that will ever get carried away by wealth or fret over anybody's wealth because in my short years on earthy i don see meme.

I know many guys enjoying great wealth through cyber crimes, many politicians make money through embezzling our money not to mention ritualistic men and cultists and almost all our entertainers don turn to homosexuals finish all in the name of making money
and many musicians you see making waves have sold their souls to the devil.

Yes we have legitimate millionaires but Trust me, if every Nigerian millionaire is striped naked and their source of wealth made known to all,i doubt if 5% of them will be qualified to be called millionaires.

If you are a lady reading this please be careful, money is good but money without peace is worse than poverty, i have seen many girls whose lives have been destroyed by these rich dudes using them for rituals so note that not all that glitters is gold and a guy can give you 1million naira for one night and will use you to make billions.

I knew it that the recent trend of raping toddlers is connected to ritual and has nada to do with pedophilia.

GOD HELP US.

You're have stated the fact bro. The sad part is that they've imported this evil abroad especially around London and the Essex area. For now, their targets are vulnerable single mums with female daughters.

In London, The perpetrators are mainly young Muslim , Yoruba males with baby mamas everywhere. Am still gathering the intelligence on the crime and can't divulge much for now. However, women have to be very careful!

For you bigots out there, am a Yoruba Male

chi4ik4:
nobody can remove Saraki as senate President! shameless APC is just fighting a lost battle.. l rep 5%

.

It's no longer Saraki v APC, but Saraki against the future of Nigeria. PMB is clean, PYO is fairly clean but Saraki is too dirty to occupy the number 3 seat in a country of around 170M people.

Am sure he won't be at the tribunal tomorrow cos he's guilty as charged

Diageo to increase shares in Guinness Nigeria to 70 percent.

The likes of JP Morgan, Perterichly and other so called Foreign investors calling for devaluation are loan shacks. The NSE is seriously undervalued currently.

Now that the CBN has called their bluff, we shall see them come back into the market through the back door, otherwise dem go wait tire. Diageo has lead by example.

Can't believe I will ever type the word, Buhari is a confirmed BIGOT. However, still prefer him to Jonathan.

Urji Uzor Kalu is a senior CIA agent in Africa. PMB has no choice than to relate with him.

SexySapphire:
This list isn't even complete. There are still some people that are gunning for the throne that aren't mentioned. The tussle has gone beyond what is expected to the extent that some of them are starting to share gifts such as transformers as if indigenes are going to vote. They don carry politics enter culture. I just pray that the best man that will uplift the glory of my town and move it to the next level will be chosen.

Well stated aweh. However, the Ademiluyi family will definitely produce the next Ooni

Saraki the greatest swindler. You stole a position that was rightfully zoned to the good people of NE to aid their rebuilding. You now went there to hoodwink the suffering masses with a Greek gift.

Shame on you Saraki!!!

I will never respect PMB again if Saraki gets away with all the atrocities he committed.

SaharaReporters has learned that the late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade, the death of whom will soon be officially announced, died at the London Clinic, locate at 20 Devonshire Place in London.

The London clinic is a specialist Hospital that treats cancer. Perhaps the Ooni has been battling with the incurable disease for years.

RIP Oba Sijuade

agabusta:
Why is the PDP kicking the air like an angry frustrated He-goat over a policy meant to protect the naira?? Is it because you are stuck with your stashed dollars??

The game is up! All the cash u guys looted is trapped now in your vaults at home. All of you have no option than to take it to the parallel market to change. This will go a long way in stabilising the naira and making it stronger in the parallel market.

You may decide to leave it at home and do a gamble on who will get the dollars first btw:

- dare devil robbers, who can sniff dollars from miles away.

- Police, DSS and EFCC who has been given renewed vigour by PMB and eager to please him by looking for any opportunity to catch anyone catchable.

-wayward children, who will steal it to live a high life that may cause their death.

- evil domestic staff, who are ready to behead and strangle anyone even if it's just for one $100 bill


If u guys try anything funny by trying to smuggle the cash out; woe betide anyone Buhari catches. By then, I hope their silly supporters on nairaland will not come and cry 'witch-hunt'

Now it seems i'm beginning to like Emefiele.

Fantastic! Couldn't have stated it any better

chukwudi44:
LOL SEE DREAMER WHICH YEYE LAW DID YOU READ THAT THRASH? THIS CASE WILL REMAIN IN COURT TILL 2019 WHEN THEIR TENURES WOULD EXPIRE

Hmmm ...... Mr Chukwudi, believe me on this one, water don pass garri!

News just reached me from a very reliable source that the amount of evidence against Saraki is overwhelming. Saraki is definitely going to prison to serve as a big lesson to other enemies of the state.

The so called foreign investors are only looking for the opportunity to buy Naira very cheap, thereby exploiting our vulnerable economy.

No be by force to devalue. The CBN has stated several times that any genuine foreign investor can buy and sell Naira at the official CBN rate.

It's in our best interest not to devalue the Naira any further.

What we're witnessing in The Black market is pure speculation. The parallel market will stabilise with time .

I played football with Ogor and his brother Churchill in Ojota, Brightstar in the eighties.

Notwithstanding, Sunday will definitely do a very good job as Eagles coach

A comprehensive report after a very thorough investigation.

I don't understand why anyone not related to Saraki will be celebrating him.
Can anyone name one successful business this man Saraki currently owns or owned.

Saraki is a complete disaster and an economic saboteur.

Op siddon there dey yarn rubbish. Your Saraki would soon be declared Persona non grata in Yoruba land. Awon omo ale jatijati

Zenith Capital is one yawa firm...........One word avoid anything that has to do with them...................

Thanks for sharing your experience. Zenith Securities no doubt is one big fraudulent company. They never execute your sale orders On time, claiming there're no bids. However, Have been able to sell same stock through Morgan Itrade.

I believe Zenith Securities somehow Trade clients account without their knowledge and profits from it

Sant1m:
You spoke as if Tinubu is inconsequential in SW politics, don't forget how Tinubu gave the SW to Gej in 2011 after a last minute deal. like it or not he is the Iroko of SW politics, maybe he got one or two things wrong on the national level such as his hard stance in demanding for positions for SW to the detriment of other regions, i,e Tinubu had no plan to conceal anything to SS, SE, nPDP. I still consider him a man who gets you the votes, Atiku, Tambuwal, Kwankwaso and Saraki now ve a shaky 2019, future in SW. I think the ultimate beneficiary if he is interested will be El Rufai.

I logged in to like your post. Well stated. El Rufai is the ultimate winner and well deserved.

I wonder why they picked the month of April as completion date , perhaps to fool us till April 2019
The wind of change don blow fowl Yansh open. The subsidy scam started during the days of OBJ. All the top PDP goons benefited from it.

otipoju:
A broken pot, even when fixed can never look like the original.

In the months to come, Saraki will realise the enormity of his betrayal.

Conceding the Deputy position to PDP is the height of betrayal....he will never be trusted by any reasonable person and would always be viewed with suspicion.

His victory is a phyrric victory. He lost more than he gained and will be served at the appointed time.

I hate maggots like Saraki with a passion. They're not loyal and faithful to any cause other than their selfish interest.
They've no respect for protocol and orderliness. Same way he looted a whole bank and destroyed share holders funds
