I ask again, where is Mohadana?

Quit playing with words. Kidnapping=Hostage-taking; and it is clear whose stock in trade are those.

ono:
Hmn. This one has political undertone. No cause for alarm, yet. And no one knows yet if these kidnappers are from some other ethnic groups parading themselves as Ijaws in Portharcourt. The ethnic group with much affinity for making money might be into this.

[b]Affinity [/b]for money-making via kidnapping? No question about that.

Where is Mohadana, the Ijaw noise maker?

In negative terms, can we say that Anambra is to the Igbo, what Oyo is to the Yoruba. It is what Bayelsa, Delta and Rivers are to the Niger Delta and what Plateau and Kano are to the North?

And, in positive terms, it is what Ogun state is to the Yoruba. Anambra is where most of the best, the good, the bad and the ugly in Igboland come from.

FG orders Ehindero to vacate IG’s residence
By FEMI SALAWU
Tuesday, June 26, 2007

Efforts by former Inspector-General of Police, Mr Sunday Gabriel Ehindero to retain the official quarters of the IGP, which he bought while still in service, suffered a setback on Monday, when the Federal Government ordered him to pack out of the residence with immediate effect.

The house at the Maitama area of Abuja was reported to have been sold to Ehindero for about N120 million and the former police boss was said to have built additional structure with swimming pool inside the premises that reportedly has security gadgets worth over N20 million.

The first indication of trouble over the house came when the acting Inspector-General of Police, Mr Mike Okiro told journalists during a press conference in Abuja that whenever he is ready to move into the quarters, Ehindero must pack out.
The controversial white mansion is on Katsina Ala Crescent, adjacent to the Kenyan High Commission in the Federal Capital Territory.

Daily Sun learnt that after he bought the house, Ehindero demolished a structure close to the access gate, which served as a camp for security details and built a chapel in its place.
The letter ordering Ehindero out of the house, said to have been signed by the Chief of Staff to the President, noted that the sale of the IGP quarters was irregular and unreasonable.

Meanwhile, Ehindero is still being investigated over a multi-million naira scam at the Force Headquarters in Abuja. And the investigators were said to have arrested an Assistant Commissioner of Police, identified as Jelili Ogundeyi, a pay officer who was accused of moving about N354 million for his boss. He was arrested in Lagos and kept in detention in Abuja.

You are dwelling on flimsy, unsubstantiated gossips. Show your proofs. Alams who ecaped from UK dressed shamelessly as a woman is your uncle.

And, how come you are merely saying things without proofs. Vist EFCC site and see who the most wanted Nigerians are.

the Ibo's are in charge of 419 and drug barons.that drug dealer hang in Singapore is an Ibo guy.onitsha were the drug dealers sell drugs is in iboland.

Ignoramus! Try and differentiate between fake medical drugs (eg, Paracetamol) and hard drugs (cocaine, hemp etc). As far as hard drugs is concerned, check out Delta and Edo state, then Yoruba states (Ondo and Ekiti). They  grow all the indian hemps in those states. Ask NDLEA about the data for hard drug barons arrested in Nigeria and outside.

Group wants EFCC report on VP's wife
The Niger Delta Development Monitoring and Corporate Watch (NIDDEMCOW), a Non Governmental Organisation has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to revisit its report on the wife of the former Bayelsa State Governor and the current Vice-President of Nigeria, Mrs. Patience Jonathan who was accused of money laundering last year. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had last year accused Mrs. Jonathan of laundering a large sum of money through one Miss Nancy on whose account the money was discovered. She is also said to be a cousin to the former Bayelsa State first Lady. Mrs. Jonathan was alleged to have laundered the sum of N184, 000,000 being money meant for the Bayelsa State Beautification Committee, an agency in charge of cleaning up the state. The Executive Director of NIDDEMCOW, Mr. Nengi James in a statement in Yenagoa also wants the former Governor of the state, now Vice President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to explain to Bayelsans why many projects embarked upon during his administration were not completed, even though he promised the people of the state that he would resign if he did not perform within six months of his administration. James also wondered why the former Governor did not declare how much he left in the state treasury, as he had declared publicly that he inherited the sum of N25 billion from his predecessor, Chief Diepreye Alamieyeseigha. The statement requested that Dr. Jonathan should come back to the state and clear himself as no money was left for his successor, Chief Timipre Sylva to operate with.

I’ve Not Declared Any Assets, Says Uba
By Ndubuisi Ugah, 06.24.2007

Post Comment

Former Governor Andy Uba of Anambra State at the weekend, described as fictitious media reports, which claimed that he has declared his assets worth N1 trillion.
Uba, in a statement he personally signed, said there was no way he could have declared his assets, when the Supreme Court judgment had on June 14, voided his governorship, a day (June 13) after he was given his assets declaration form.
According to him, "the truth is that none of those writing about my assets can produce any evidence of my so-called assets declaration. This is because I was given the asset declaration form on June 13 and on June 14 the Supreme Court ruled against my governorship".
Media reports had last week stated that Uba had declared assets worth N1 trillion, a report, which drew sharp reactions from Nigerians.
But Uba, while recalling that his only ‘mortal sin’ was serving former President Olusegun Obasanjo and my country to the best of my ability," explained that he regarded "all of that fictitious nonsense as clear attempts by my detractors and their hirelings to embarrass me".
He stated that he deemed "it necessary to set the records straight for the benefit of the vast majority of Nigerians who deserve to know the truth".
"In effect, I had not declared any assets. I wonder then where the newspaper figures are coming from," he said.
The politician, who equally pointed out that he was embarrased by the media reports, however, argued that "it sounds idiotic, if not mischievous to suggest that I have assets worth anything near what some newspapers are peddling. I challenge those gullible enough to parrot that lie to produce a copy of the so-called asset declaration by me."
"For the records, I state once more that I had not declared any assets. Nor did I ever tell anyone how much I am worth. Any report saying how much my assets are worth are at best, a speculation, and at worst, a figment of the imagination of my detractors".
While insisting that facts should be cross-checked before they are published, Uba said "emotional outbursts are easy to make. The hard part is writing credible, verifiable columns. For those who are desperate to tarnish my reputation, writing all manner of lies against me has become a lucrative industry sustained by their pay masters. Yet, I take all of that as the price of public service," he said.

babasin:
evidence shows that OBJ father is igbo and nigeria is paternal oriented nation.

OBJ indeed rule nigeria as igbo man. case closed

igbo will need to wait for 2027

2011: middle belt
2019: south west
2027: igbo

Hm! Typical Yoruba man. Always looking for cheap short-cut. Based on zoning system, who is ruling, the individual or the zone? Which zone did Obj represent? Supreme court will hear this What are the evidences that OBJ is Igbo? Any DNA tests?

Terry Waya and David Mark (Sen Pres) are not southerners. These are 419 and money laundry kingpins. Many Yoruba 419 may be from the North (Kwara, Kogi). The bad Nigerian guys in saudi are northern muslims. If the northern military thieves did not destroy the economy wholesale, there won't have been any 419 (there was none before). It is a case of the egg and chicken which comes first. Ewu Hausa.

babasin:
OBJ father is IBO, so next president in 2011 is middle-belt

Babasin is the sharer of political positions in Nigeria. Did Obj tell you his father is Igbo? Did he rule for the Igbo?

Written by Oghre

Nigerians are screaming loud to be abused; the Nigerians government want its citizens both in Nigeria and abroad to be abused. The diplomatic corp. is part of government and as such don’t care if Nigerians are abused anywhere on the planet.

Many Nigerians by nature hate their citizenship, with loads refusing even to identify themselves as Nigerians. In situations where there will be no repercussions some Nigerians refuse to seek redress, they will not even open their mouths in public for fear of anyone hearing their Nigerian accents, they are unsure of themselves.

Some Nigerians only scream out load at the top of their voices in “owambe” parties, call them to a protest against injustice, racism, unfair treatment and they will tell you “every man for himself”. Unity is missing; the world Igbo congress will fight its own battles, while the house of Oduduwa will claim they are more Nigerian than others.

The mallams abroad including ambassadors will form a relationship with Middle Eastern and North African Muslims instead of the Nigerian citizens they were appointed to protect in these host countries.

The former Nigerian ambassador to Russia, Abdullahi Sarki Mukhtar, a man I know from the Nigerian Defence Academy in Kaduna back in the day as a Lt. Colonel is a good example of such unpatriotic, Hausa/Fulani, light skinned wannabe-Arab, with more allegiance to Jeddah than Nigeria. Today the man has been rewarded with National security Adviser.

The fool could not guarantee the security of Nigerians who were constantly, humiliated, incarcerated and murdered in Russian, under the watchful eyes of Ambassador Mukhtar.

The list is endless, should I even talk about some Ambassadors who cooperated with their hosts to make life difficult for Nigerians? In the list is the Ambassador of Nigeria to Ireland who told the Irish Government to seize all Nigerian passports presented to them genuine or not. The ambassador then ordered his own printing machine and started charging Nigerians €450 for passports that officially cost 8000 Naira.
As the Irish policeman I know said “you guys are being ****ed by sides, yours and ours.

Well, it was a senior Nigerian Diplomat and assistant to a minister for foreign affair that directly told the Irish prime minister, Bertie Aherne “Nigerians are criminals by nature, we understand your plight but please note it is only the ones from the south”. So Bertie Aherne stood up the next week on national TV and told the Irish “I cannot understand why Southern Nigerians are coming here in droves and committing all these crimes”

All it took was a green light from a Nigerian Government official who was supposed to be protesting the treatment of his people, and a racist prime minister to turn the Nigerian reputation in Ireland around for good.

As my English friend said, “if your government can stand back and watch the state humiliation and murder of Nigerians in many countries around the world when they have bargain tools, like diplomatic protest, human right organisations, treaties, a strong African voice due to population, and even oil to use against these governments, you are better off never applying for a Nigerian passport again. You may be better protected with your European citizenship”.

@Vigasimple,

Don't be idiotic.

1. Biafara

Do you know what brought about Biafra? Or are you a baby?

2. Inability for the people there to rally round one or two strong good and clean candidate.

in 1999, Two Yorubas contested against themselves. in 2003, more than 5 Yorubas contested against themselves
In 2007, more than 5 hausas contested against themselves. So what stupidity of ideas are you suffering from? When it is time for the Igbo to rule based on the current turn-by-turn presidency, you will see the best of the Igbo. Be patient.

There is clanishness everywhere in Nigeria. This is why only Yorubas from Ogun matter in Nigeria's politics. Check all those that have led in Nigeria, including Shonekan and Diya, all Ogun. In the North, it has always been Northwest and caliphate-backed others.

[quote][Long throat

What do you mean by long throat? Do you mean the type of long-throat from Obasanjo, IBB, Abacha, Diya, Aikhomu, Jerry Gana, Bode George and other non-Igbo Federal looters? Can you expanciate on that so I can respond appropriately?

.

, Is that Nigerians percieved  the average S/E candidate will only be using presidency to further Biafra cause and simply serve their own people more than Nigeria as a whole

You mean like Akunyili, Soludo, Okonjo Iweala and Oby Ezekwesisli did? And like Obj, Shagari, IBB, Abacha and now, Yaradua, did/ is doing? You are unbelievable idiotic.

To Afam and others who think Yaradua (UMY) is Mr. Clean

UMY has been shouting about empty treasuries in the states, yet the ex-governors roam free. If he is not like them, the ex govs should be in jail now. The man is only a smaller thief.

Obasanjo Buys Private Jet?

Akin Orimolade, Abuja


Even with the anger triggered by the draconian economic measures President Olusegun Obasanjo introduced before leaving the seat of power, Aso Rock, the former president has allegedly purchased a private jet worth $36 million.

Presidency officials, who had gone to Ota to consult with ex-president Obasanjo, who had earlier indicated his interest in using one of the presidential jets after his tour of duty in Aso Rock, concerning the workers’ strike, were taken by surprise when they learnt that the former number one citizen had travelled with a private jet.

The private jet was registered in the name of MRS, a company owned by Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Sayyu Dantata.

Sources close to the former leader’s Ota Farm revealed that even workers in the multimillionaire farm were not sure whether the private jet was a free gift to ex-president Obasanjo or a loan for his current globe trotting jamboree.

They, however, argued that it was a well merited offer if it was a gift, considering the unprecedented assistance the former president has offered to Dangote and Dantata, whom some claimed, were former president Obasanjo’s business partners.

In 2003 alone, Obasanjo allocated 980,000 tonnes of Low Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO), to MRS from which the company made over $300 million.

Some Nigerians had queried the allocation because MRS was given the allocation at the local price, while the company sold it at international price, thus smiling to the bank with a wide profit margin.

Leadership Weekend investigations, however, revealed that it was a compensation to Dangote for being the highest donor to Obasanjo for the rigged election in 2003.

This action, it was gathered, consequently forced almost all textile industries to close shop in the Northern part of the country and a few others in Lagos.

But that deal was just the tip of the iceberg. The president made sure that Dangote, despite all protests from Benue State people, bought Benue Cement Company (BCC) at a give-away price, while other heavy government investments were transferred to the smooth palms of Dangote.

Such money-making industries that were deliberately run down to give room for such offers include the Kaduna and Port Harcourt refineries and the 24 per cent shares in NITEL bought by Alheri Engineering Company, a company hurriedly packaged for the takeover of NITEL but which had no previous experience in telecommunications sector. Dangote also owns Obajana Cement and some oil blocs.

But sources close to Obasanjo’s traducers claimed that the former president allegedly made the money with which he bought the jet by making only half of the presidential campaign funds available to President Umoru Musa Yar’Adua’s campaign team.

This, they claimed, made logistic for the Yar’Adua/Goodluck campaign team difficult at a stage during the campaign.

Uba’s Sack: OBJ, Yar’Adua On the Warpath
By Wale Adele - 23.06.2007

THRERE is now a wide gulf between President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and his predecessor, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, following the implementation of the Supreme Court judgment that reinstated Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State.


Saturday Tribune sources in the Presidency revealed that what started as a cold war between the two leaders since power changed hands between them on May 29 has been blown open among the top hierarchy of the party.


It was revealed that the former president felt betrayed with the prompt restoration of Obi even before he offered his position on the matter.


ST was told that immediately the judgment was delivered, Obasanjo called the PDP National Chairman, Dr. Ahmadu Ali, asking him to tell Yar’Adua to call a meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party with a view to stopping the implementation of the ruling.


He was also reported to have told Ali to ask the President to call him on the matter, arguing that the Supreme Court should not have ruled that Dr. Andy Uba was not elected in the first instance.


On his part, Ali was said to have advised Obasanjo to call Yar’Adua himself, a suggestion which Obasanjo declined.


Obasanjo told Ali that Yar’Adua had changed of late in his approach to him and that communication between them had become one way as he was always the one calling the President.


After the discussion, Ali reportedly met with Yar’Adua and explained what transpired during the telephone discussion between him and the former president.


But the President, rather than call Obasanjo as requested, opted to direct the Inspector General of Police and the Solicitor General of the Federation to implement the court order without delay.


Angered by the attitude of Yar’Adua, Obasanjo reportedly made up his mind not to attend the ministerial screening meeting scheduled for Abuja two days after the judgment.


But he did not inform Yar’Adua who sent a presidential jet to convey him to Abuja for the meeting.


Obasanjo on his part had scheduled an overseas trip to avoid attending the Abuja meeting.


The crew that went to fetch Obasanjo got to his Ota farm to discover he had travelled.


Since Yar’Adua came on board, he has taken some steps considered not palatable to his former boss.


The appointment of Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation was said to be the first step taken by Yar’Adua that Obasanjo disliked.

MILITIA:
@Topic

Who are you trying to impress with this your dry post! Please go and drink more "burukutu" and sleep! Make you no wake up oh! Ye ye de smell!

I wonder oh! How about ''kidnappers lay siege on Yenagoa and the entire jungles of Bayelsa. What are the Egbesu boys doing about this''?

laudate:
No one should just disturb my peace with cries of marginalisation, or any talk that they have been schemed out of power again, when elections come round. Period!

Who the hell are you? Some tin god? Why do you overestimate yourself?

Quit crying more than the bereaved. Bury your own dead. Ok.

Ok. it is still early in the day. For now, let's allow Yaradua to rule or is it misrule. 2015 is not tomorrow, ok?

laudate:
No, the Niger-Deltans believe that there are a lot of minority tribes in the ND, and a candidate to represent the South-south zone where they are located, should come from one of these tribes. They believe Odili is from the South-East, which is already a major bloc. And if the South-East also presents its' own candidate for the presidency, their own zone will be disqualified during the primaries, as Odili will be viewed by majority of the other ethnic groups more as a South-Easterner, rather than a South-South indigene. Kindly read J.P Clark's views on this matter, as well as those of other prominent ND politicians.

You have inadvertently answered the question on rotational presidency. The ND (Clark and Co.) knows Odili is Igbo, so would not allow him to usurp their own time to rule. Which means there is sometime like time existing for each zone to lead. Igbo's time will come when it will. We will not fight for it the way you keep insinuating. Moreover I'd rather not, than have an incompetent thief help add Ndigbo to the list of those who have misruled Nigeria as presidents. For now I am happy nobody can call Igbos incompetent at the federal level. When thetime is ripe, the right Igbo will take Nigeria to th epromised land. It is our calling, I believe.

I support the south south to get it first when it comes to the south again. After them the north and finally comes the Igbo. I am that patient. By which time the thieves like Orji and Uba may have expired politically. This case is closed.

Laudate,

Can you slowly tell me you are not arguing that if the military does not cease power, and  if the PDP continues to rule based on their rotational presidency, that the Igbo's turn will not come? That others will rule and the Igbo will be denied?

@Sleekdot,

Sure you are right about PDP zoning. As long as PDP is the ruling party (and it appears they will remain so for long, given the rag-tag nature of the opposition parties) the zoning is guaranteed. Everyone has a right to contest for positions they are qualified for, but the PDP as a party knows where they have zoned the presidency to. You can waste your time and money if you choose. Nothing for you. Ok?

Thank you, Afam.

sleekdot:
If they have actally given the South West the right to produce the president in 1999 then what was Alex Ekwueme looking for at the PDP primaries and Ezeife at the AD primaries

What were all the southerners including Yorubas, who contested for the presidency in 2007 doing, knowing that it was the turn of the north? Why did Abubakir Rimi and other Northerners contest in 2003? They were all just bluffing. It was clear who was to rule in 1999, 2003 and now 2007.

[/quote][quote author=Afam link=topic=58084.msg1226034#msg1226034 date=1182526432]I am surprised that a Nigerian is in the dark about the arrangement to allow the South West produce the president in 1999.

It is more like mischief.

If Obj's biological father is Igbo,  as has gained currency, it follows that by Nigeria's patrilineal system of inheritance, he is Igbo. Thus, he is a usurper (of Yoruba opportunity) and a traitor (to the Igbo). Essentially, he becomes then a bat which by morphology is neither a mammal nor a bird (neither Yoruba nor Igbo)
