Unless we want to lie as usual to ourselves because of hatred and sycophancy,there is no university,poly or anyother tertiary institution that doesn't have a PTF project, either in learning facilities,transport,or hostels.
Even some hospitals still have some equipment and other medical disposables that bear the PTF logo.
It's because of what abacha did through Buhari with the PTF that it's still astonishing to some that he stole some much,yet despite that,and inspite of moderate oil price levels, still achieved that much.
Compare all that to someone and u see why many feel he was a curse on us.

Dear President Mohammadu Buhari,

Lee Kuan Yew, One of the most respected leaders of our time, a first class Cambridge genius, and a former president per excellence, who ruled Singapore from from 1959 to 1990 once said and I quote “Between being loved and being feared, I have always believed Machiavelli was right. If nobody is afraid of me, I’m meaningless.”. Mr. President I start with this quote because in Nigeria if people do not fear you, I can bet you, you sir, would be meaningless. If the globally-respected Lee Kuan Yew can say this, and we see what Singapore has become, who are we not to follow a model that has worked?

Sir, while some see you as a tyrant, we see you as a gallant, charismatic, stern, focused and effective leader. I believe that breaking the so called rule of law sometimes to achieve a country where discipline, decorum, and the fear of stealing or mismanaging public funds is instilled is by far better than any goodies the "rule of law" can bring. Those that call you tyrant still turn a blind eye, to the first objective blinded-question presidential media chat we have ever witnessed in our country. By now, Mr. President, you must have been inundated with the rantings of several people like Femi Fani Kayode, who for many years has basked in the hay of corruption and crass impunity that has characterized previous administrations. As Mallam Nuhu Ribadu would say "When you fight corruption, it fights back" That assertion is true in this case.

Mr. President, Nigeria is the only country where the likes of Femi Fani-Kayode would keep quoting the Bible, calling on God, but yet is a man that is presently in his 4th marriage (or would I say co-habitation?), a man known to be a alleged to be addicted to crack; a man who failed to recognize his daughter's wedding; a man accused to have sexually abused his female staff while as a minister; a man who publicly boasted about his sexual escapades with igbo women on national newspaper; a man accused of physical brutality and hostage-taking of his older brother, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, who died eventually; a man who speaks for the APC today, and tomorrow join and eat his vomit in the PDP; An unstable man, a man of low moral compass. A man who is so lost that the word vagabond fails to do justice to his character. Sir, would any one pay attention to such a man? See Rwanda, is Paul Kigame playing by the rule of law to make Rwanda what it is today? Did Gadafi play by rule of law to make Libya the best country by all standards prior to the West's destruction? Did Ahmadinejad, the former President of Iran play by the rule of law to make Iran what it is today? Did Vladimir Putin play by the rule of law to make it become a second world power? Even the ALMIGHTY USA broke the rule of law for many years before their institutions came to what what they are today. All these leaders I have mentioned, have one thing in common, and Sir, that is people in their country fear and respect them. Without reverence for a leader in a developing nation with weak institutions, the country becomes a free for all - a situation exemplified by the impunity and the stealing-is-not-corruption-attitude that became the trade mark of the past administration.

Mr President, for the first time in many years we have a leader in you that do not believe in rewarding and elevating thieves. No matter what the numerous crackheads we have in Nigeria writes no matter what they say or do, be rest assured that I and millions of Nigerians, know better - you would never become as weak, clueless, wicked, insensitive, soft and corrupt. We know sir, that you would stand tall in every angle of morality integrity and sincerity of purpose. You would NEVER let the goats who ate our yams, or who threaten our sovereignty go scot free, even if it means breaking the already corrupted "rule of law". We are solidly behind you sir.

Permit me to end by quoting the great American President, Franklin D Roosevelt who said and I quote "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself". For those of us that are behind you, we would not fear. Those that cannot fear their own fear only have one thing they are afraid of - the guilt and consequences of putting our country on the path of destruction.

God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

WHAT INDEED IS THE RULE OF LAW?
Written by Kay Lord

I remember one of President Obama's key promise during his first term campaign;

"I will shut down Guatanamo Bay prisons. It is hypocritical of America to be preaching democracy and rule of law to the world yet own a facility where suspects are kept without trial for many years. The shutting down of that illegal detention centre would be one of my first executive order once I am sworn in as the President of the United States. " (Paraphrased)

As I write this, Obama is nearing the end of his second term in office and Guatanamo prison is still standing and the US are still detaining high risk suspects there, some for upward of 10 to 15 years without trial or prosecution in any law court anywhere in the world.

Obama came to office as a green horn in security matters. He did not know that security issues are not subject to campaign rhetoric. I remember John McCain, his Republican challenger, a war veteran and a Senator of over 30 years, who had chaired several Senate security committee in the US Senate telling Obama he does not know what he's talking about!

You will wonder why Obama kept silent on Guatanamo till now? Now, he knows better. That's why I laugh reading Facebook 'activist' and unrepentant Buhari bashers pontificating and sermonising over the rule of law after what President Buhari said about granting bail for individuals that has serious case against the state that pertains to security issues.

What folks don't understand is that the rule of law itself is subject to the rule and right of a nation when it pertains to the security and wellbeing of the people of a country against that of a few individuals. That's why, the USA that calls themselves the land of freedom and the bastion of democracy in the world do not care about the rule of law when it concerns the security of her people. That supercede any rule of law. Cry from today to eternity, you are just wasting your time and effort, America will ignore you and do what they have to do.

Check this; the US flouted every international law when the President of the US ordered special combat forces to go into the territory of another sovereign nation, Pakistan in order to get Osama bin Laden. Not only was Osama ordered to be killed extra judicially but his corpse was even buried at sea. When I read a book detailing the preparation for that mission by one of the members of that special force that entered into Pakistan under the cover of the night, you will realize that when it comes to the security and safety of the United States, they are ready to flout any law. Now, do you want to accuse Obama of illegality? Has Pakistan sued America at the World court? Also, please who amongst the vuvuzelas shouting themselves hoarse on Facebook will pick up the gauntlet and sue the President of the US for killing Osama bin Laden extra judicially? Ohhh don't they think Osama bin Laden has fundamental right to fair hearing? Yeye people!

One of the reasons I supported president Buhari came to fore during his media chat. I am an advocate of the rule of law and I believe in it but personally I believe we have to draw a line when the rule of law comes into conflict with security, safety and the well being of citizens of a given nation. You can't flagrantly abuse the security and well being of the people and come around to shout about rule of law when it's time to face the consequences of your action. Our judicial process must be overhauled to conform with the reality of the moment. America knows this better. For once, this country has a President that is ready to lead! It's not that PMB does not believe in the rule of law. After all, this is a man that was rigged out of election on about 3 occasions but followed the rule of law by going all up to the Supreme court to seek redress.

What the President is saying to whoever care to listen is that, when it comes to the safety, well being and progress of this nation no individual would use the rule of law to escape justice. That's why he said point blank concerning the Shi'ite issue that you can't have a state inside a state! It's either folks are ready to shape up or ship out! This country has been thrown to the dogs, it's high time we take it back and put it on the path of sanctity. Enough of lilly livered leadership, it's time to run this country according to dictates of the time we live in.

If you don't like it, sorry, we have a country to run and you will have to excuse us.

From the title, I just knew this blackmail is the SOLE PURPOSE of this useless thread. We've seen this a billion times dudes, come up with something else.

First it was said that Baba is scared because of the thief's presidential ambition. Now, it is because Dasuki jailed him a hundred million years ago so now he wants to pay back.

All these trash would NEVER stick. Dasuki's trial will run its full course regardless of all the trash you guys spread on cyberspace, EOD.

And if I may ask, Where is the handcuff there?? The pic looks like some superior officer giving instruction while the junior officers stand "at ease".

I bet the guy beside Baba was also "handcuffed".

I feel sorry for you people. Your future is being gangraped by some bunch of remorseless criminals who should rot in jail even without trial and all you do is spread propaganda all over the place in the hope of securing their freedom.

Tufiakwa.

How. Did he talk down on the Igbo race?

How did the Igbo race talk down on him, why has the Igbo race before during and after the election seem to Hate or dislike him? He wins and you want to take up all the positions in his government

Instead of us igbos to protest against our own governors, our own leaders we carry buhari matter for our head, but we voted sam egwu, ta orji, orji uzor Kalu, chimaroke etc to power we love anyim, we see no wrong in the fact that we've had some of the worst leadership in the south east since Nigerias return to democracy

We want an igbo man to rule nigeria but NONE of us voted for Chekwas OKorie, afterall he contested for presidency! When Roachas was in PDP all eastern delegates voted for yaradua, when ekwueme contested against obasanjo, all eastern delegates voted for obasanjo, ojukwu contested in 2007 against yaradua/jonathan with Maurice iwu as Inec chairman we voted for yaradua instead!

Our roads are the worst, even when jonathan wanted to share money he didn't even deem it fit to give an igbo man National security adviser to share money! Now we are shouting up and down how won't he ask " what do the igbos want"?

Does the EFCC have the jurisdiction to arrest an army officer? Thought that is the work of the military police? Someone educate me please

mrDennis:
U are a totally unpatriotic Nigerian.... and it's better for them to loose their jobs and suffer now so the country makes progress. than allow a foreign African country dictate to their host government!
nowhere in the world does a defaulter accept his fault... ask for fine reduction and then go to court lmao .

do u know how many south Africans will loose jobs if mtn is pushed out of Nigeria in fact the already wobbling south African ecnomy will feel the pinch much harder!

also south Africa can't retaliate sef because they have too many investments in Nigeria to risk anti-south Africa sentiments rsing up amongst Nigerians.

also Nigeria is a very viable telecoms market and under 5-6months 2 New telecoms firm will enter the naija market to replace mtn ...only in this case south African firms won't be let in out of spite to s.a.

@least that's how any logical government operates

Leyelanre:
Now let's analyse this.

He was speaking to someone on phone about a very sensitive issue and he put it on speaker, even if he thinks no one understands hausa and arabic in dubai which I doubt someone like that will do, BOKO HARAM, NNAMDI KANU, GEJ are general names and everyone knows those names. You wouldn't mention all those names in one conversation if you want to keep a secret, you'd rather use code names.

This came from a source you don't know, ask yourself why you believe it. Part of me tells me you believe it because you are not in support of the present president.

Look at the terms stated there, you think it's possible? This is democracy and we are not living in the 15th century, why are you afraid someone will stop your religion?

Mentioning all those things you have is enough to provide a lead, why didn't the person just remain anonymous?

Bro, let's leave hate and be united. Whether GEJ or PMB, let's give our best to this country. God bless Nigeria.

AceJam:
Who else read this any where?

BOMBSHELL! BOKO HARAM SECRET PEACE DEALS WITH FG EXPOSED!

This is coming by way of a 3rd party, I don't know if this is legit - but with the details shared it should be looked into: "Please publish this story because I have sacrificed my life for this story.
My name is XXXX XXXXXXXX but I go by the name Aisha Mohamed. I am a prostitute in the UAE. I own four petrol stations in Benin City and two hostels in one of the state universities in the SW of Nigeria. I was born in the north to a Fulani Mother
and an Edo father. I am a graduate of University of Benin but I have made more money doing my business than I made working at the bank.
On the 19th of December 2015, a prominent Kaduna Businessman named XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX was with me in a hotel room in Dubai when someone close to EL Rufai, governor of Kaduna state called him. This man did not know that I can
understand both Hausa and Arabic and I can also write these languages. So he was asking this man questions and he was counting money so he put it on speak out and I was listening. This is what their conversation looked like.
Man on the phone: Yes. We have negotiated peace with Boko Haram. The war is over.
Kaduna Man in Dubai: That is good. But at what cost? I have said it that the best strategy is to keep the fight going because once we begin to mix with these people and they begin to relax like the Niger Delta, then some more ugly stories will come out.
Man on the phone: Dont worry, its a big deal that was reached. The boys first said they want an Islamic Republic covering the whole of Nigeria but we offered them our current sharia region for now. So most of them will be put into power come 2019.
Kaduna Man in Dubai: Is that all?
Man on the phone: No. They want some favors from Govt. The gave the names of people who must die for them to completely give up.
Kaduna Man in Dubai: Who do they want dead.
Man on the Phone: This is big!!.
1. The want the Shittes wiped from Nigeria. They claim that the shittes are an impure brand of Islam and they want them all dead and all their homes destroyed and cleared out. They do not want one single Shia mosque standing in Nigeria.
2. They also want Former army chief Ihejirika dead. They want the govt to use whatever means necessary to do that. They claim he killed Boko Haram members.
3. They want Goodluck Jonathan arrested and killed. They claim he ordered the death of Boko Haram members.
4. The want Namadi Kanu radio guy captured and killed for insulting them.
5. They also want for their members to be helped to win elections in the north in 2019 so the gradual introduction of Sharia will commence.
Many things were said but if you can publish this, then next expose, I will tell you how they want to deal with the South later. I have run away from Dubai at the moment and I am hiding in one African country from where I sent you this message. Please, if I can sacrifice my life and wealth for this, I pray that you help.
I have written to many newspapers but they refused to publish my story until I come in person to Nigeria. They are afraid of Buhari. I know if I come into Nigeria, I am a dead person.
Spread the story, share it for all to see and I will write a very detailed expose on all that was said. Very very important information is yet to come out.
Thanks"

lookingfly:
so the same military that were crying for weapons during Gej era for them to fight bh boys now fought bh boys under pmb still with no weapons and you are celebrating. How did buhari do it, abrakadabra I guess. This shows that bh boys were created by a section of this country to make someone's rule ungovernable.

Demdem2:

I agree but they can be deciminated significantly. That is our aim for now. If I am to grade the military as regards meeting the December Target given by Buhari, will give them 78% which to me isn't completely bad. Buratai has led his gallant men well no doubt.

AN EX PRESIDENT MY FOOT. HE HAD BETTER NOT BE FOUND GUILTY. WHAT HAS COME OVER NIGERIAN YOUTHS? SO IF SOMEONE THAT WAS TRUSTED WITH WITH THE SECURITIES OF LIVES AND PROPERTIES OF A NATION TURNED AROUND TO SACRIFICE THOSE LIVES AT THE ALTER OF GREED AND SELFISHNESS, YOU MEAN SUCH PERSON DESERVES RESPECT? FOR WHAT! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, RESPECT IS NOT A BIRTH RIGHT, IT IS EARNED AND ONCE U SELL AT ANY UNSCRUPULOUS ALTER SUCH AS GREED, PRIDE, SELFISHNESS etc, EXPECT NON FROM ANYONE.

allthingsgood:
That is how GEJ administration would have slaughtered innocent soldiers for nothing, knowing fully well that all monies for arms were diverted to private pockets leaving the soldiers defenceless and demoralized!

Yet some sycophants will still call GEJ a hero! Smh. That sorry excuse for a human being. Shame on the clueless moronic GEJ

Queenyprinxex:
she's only pained the money wasn't given to her instead

efilefun:
Sahara reporters are one of the best if not the best when it comes to investigative journalism, that's why they looking for every means to shut them up. I will continue saying this, if all the funds "borrowed" by those criminals in the previous administration are recovered it will sustain the nation for the next four years without spending a dime from money generated by NNPC and others. It still beats my imagination how some people still call this criminals hero after all this revelations and confessions. Hopefully before the year runs out we would start seeing some of them get Kirikiri jersey numbers

bumi10:
aahh EFCC again.


I can assure you guys that EFCC didn't uncover nothing. I am telling you honestly.

if they did uncover anything, let them charge the person to court and prosecute the offender. they should stop all this media trial, it will not help them.


we are tired of hearing your ficticious propaganda EFCC, get the job done. it seems because APC don't have other means of propaganda because they have exhusted the means they had during 1 and 2 month they took power, now they are using EFCC to fuster the issues.


APC do your work. Economy is at its worst now. Dollars sold for N247 yesterday and am betting before the end of today, it will reach N252 or so. What is the matter with you APC government? what happened to N1 to 1 dollar? GEJ is not a saint but he is surely better than all APC put together.

Now you are trying to pass a bill so that people cannot freely say their mind on social media again. what is happening? are we going back or forward? I move that Buhari be impeached.
