illitrate: Nigerian defence and security equipment contractor, Alh. Rabiu Hassan, yesterday, alleged that some Israeli security contractors (names withheld) were fleecing the nation of huge sums of money in hard currencies by supplying either non-functional equipments or collecting mobilisation fees without making supplies.

The contractor told journalists in Abuja that at a time the nation was facing dire security challenges, three Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, UAVs, popularly known as drones, supplied by the Israelis were rotting away in a hangar in Benin because they were non-functional.

He added that even at that, Nigeria was made to pay far more than the cost of the most sophisticated drones currently used by United States of America, USA.

Hassan, who said he had petitioned the Presidency and relevant anti-corruption agencies, said although he was a contractor himself, he had to cry out for a probe into the activities of the affected companies with a view to arresting the situation.

He said: “As we talk, there are three Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, which are popularly called drones, supplied by the Israelis which have never worked. They are parked right now at a hangar in Benin. They have never worked since they were supplied.”

He said the non-functional drones cost the nation $240 million, adding that the Israeli behind the drones deal had operated in the country for over a decade and had infiltrated the top echelon of successive administrations in the country, where he had entrenched himself.

He equally disclosed that another set of two Israelis were on the verge of sealing a deal for leasing two spy satellites to Nigeria at a cost considered to be another rip-off as they had asked Nigeria to pay 145 million Euros for a project, which cost had been put at $40 million by Imagesat, the manufacturers in Israel.

Hassan said: “I have personally gone to Israel and found out from the manufacturers what the cost is. It is $40 million for the total project. It is curious that they (contractors) are quoting 145 million Euros.

“The Israeli company does not quote in Euros, they only quote in dollars. Nigerians must ask questions: is there any such contract at $145 million? This can’t happen elsewhere in the world.”

Hassan, who said he was crying out as a patriotic Nigeria, disclosed that he would be at the State Security Service, SSS, and the Office of the National Security on their invitation to give more details on his petition.

According to him, he had earlier made a preliminary statement at the SSS and was determined to ensure that the matter was not swept under the carpet. He said the entire activities of the Israeli firms in the nation’s security sector must be probed.

What do u expect when you send an Aboki to do such a covert job. Mshewww...

cashcpt: It is the truth the JTF leadership sees all HausaFulani as Boko Haram Young men and boys are being suMmarily executed everyday in the NorthEast by Nigerian Army personnel many of whom are from the southern parts of the country.It is now a very precarious time for HausaFulani males in the NorthEast-they are been targeted by the Nigerian Army. Hunters are now being hunted in their own backyards. How times have changed...

For the first time since 1967, the Igbos head the army and so are using it to their advantage to deal with the aboki BH miscreants. This is payback time. Round up more of them for summary execution

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Has anyone talked to TY Danjuma about this killing?[/quote]Maybe he was killed by former Biafran soldiers

Let me break it down for you:

Negro - Negroid - Black Person....

Go back to elementary school and take those liking your comment with you on your way there...

We need to salvage the borderline retar.d like IQ of Nigerians!

I've warned NLers severally to ignore Shymmex and his unguarded tantrums. The guy is simply an frustrated illegal U.K immigrant who because of failure to get his papers, tends to vent his failure and frustrations online. Ignore the olodo.

alj harem: What are the IG, commissioners, President, gov etc doing about this security issue ?

The problem is that when an Igbo person gets to a place buys a land, he/she considers it as her own land but in reality it is a lease land. This is what makes people angry at Igbos. When you live in a place for 20 years and don't think it is necessary to become a full indigene without bring the Igbo culture to the new land, then you are seen as an invading alien rather than a settler in Nigeria context.

You see the average thinking of an Hausa-fulani man? So if i stay in a place for 30years i am still considered an outsider because i refuse to convert to islam? Yet your arab brothers migrate and live in europe and are accorded full citizenship status?

LocalChamp: Anti-Corruption Activist Provides Photos Of Mansion Built For Minister Orubebe In Abuja

Posted: November 2, 2012 - 14:13

By SaharaReporters, New York
An anti- corruption watchdog group, Anti-Corruption Network, led by former house member Dino Melaye today provided photos of a residence it claimed was built for Nigeria's minister of the Niger Delta ministry, Elder Godsday orubebe in the Mabushi area of Abuja.

Mr. Dino stated that a construction company Setraco built and delivered the new mansion to Mr. Orubebe in less than six months after the company benefitted from contracts to build part of the East-West highway in the Delta region.

The photos taken by the group shows a mansion located on Minister's Hill area, Mabushi Abuja. Dino told Saharareporters that the offices of the group was burgled by unknown person after it revealed that Mr. Orubebe was involved in other scams totalling N29 billion in ficticious contracts.

Dino Melaye is facking with the mafia. Dem go kill am o! Anybody wey love am make im go warn am now.

nenepea: The war will not last up to 30 days before they surrender

30days abi 30minutes. Their generals are well known for weeping and prostrating before Majors, asking for their lives. (Refer to Diya Vs Mustapha)

Yomieluv: Because Hausa people no get brain at all,they only hear "go",that's why they are call "zombie". They can die anyhow,to them death is nothing.

Igbo people can do anything for money, killing for money is there hobby,they will join cos of the monetary gain,and nothing else. To an igbo man,the love of money,is the beginning of wisdom.

And Yorobbers were not chosen because of their penchant for Cowardice, Betrayal, Backstabbing and drinking rat poison to evade capture.

Super1759: I think its not on a negative side. Igbos are known to be warriors right from orgin and smartest among the tribes. Hausa peeps are fearless and can lay their lives for their belief. So it has something to do with their attitude to fight

And some say the other tribe is made up of Cowards

Dangerous yes. But only if u drive roughly. But Naija roads break d record as the most dangerous roads because the numerous POTHOLES are accidents waiting to happen.

berylLOL: but why would people feel it's normal to cheat? Why would you go into a relationship just to hurt the person?..cheating is wrong and what is wrong is wrong!..

Cheat! Cheat! Cheat! Ladies are the worst culprits these days. They double date, triple date and even multipledate.

berem: Whaaat! Did I hear Lizard? Dammit! I hate that creature! "Pukes and Runs out of thread"

Nwoke m, so lizard now stands for Aguiyi in your place? I thot it was ngwere.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Thanks. So Aguiyi was not his real name, I believe Aguiyi means lizard in Igbio, no?[/quote]Aguiyi in Igbo stands for Crocodile. Just as Kadauna stands for crocodile in hausa. Soldiers who served with Gen Ironsi during the peace keeping wars said he always had that swagger stick with him. I think it meant something of an authority and also power for him.

berem: Oya! GEJ over to you.thank goodness they didn't give condition that our president must be a muslim.

These mofos think we are having a tea party with them. Who are they to issue demands to a sovereign country like Nigeria? I no blame dem sha. If say we get man with iron balls for power, him for don carry napalm bomb smoke una islamic asses out of una Boko rat hole.

Laila Ikeji: DISTURBED by the high level of immorality it has caused among Imo people, the State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has ordered the immediate closure of all clubs where women dance in the nude.

Briefing journalists on Tuesday in Owerri, the state capital, Okorocha regretted that the state had been turned into ‘Sodom and Gomorrah’ of the Bible where young girls dance completely naked in the clubs at night, threatening to deal with any such club operator who fails to carry the order.

He said: “This administration will not tolerate any lawlessness any more. We notice some lawlessness in the state and this government will deal ruthlessly with anybody found to be exposing our young girls. Enough of this nonsense.”

It was discovered by The Guardian that several nude clubs operate in many parts of Owerri with certain days designated for particular activities, such as dancing with their pants on, or completely naked.

The governor, who noted that such clubs were havens for criminals, directed immediate enforcement of the law on demolition of any house found to be a hideout for kidnappers.

While commending security operatives in the state for rescuing a five- year- old baby from kidnappers,who stormed a village in Isiala Mbano, he urged the State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adisa Bolanta, to direct his men to work harder to secure the state during the festive period.

Also speaking, Bolanta said the command has successfully apprehended three suspects who allegedly masterminded the murder of the ruler of Umueze Abazu Ogwa, Mbaitoli Local Council, Eze Stanley Akuneto, last May, adding that they had been arraigned in court.

Bolanta also assured the family of the abducted Permanent Secretary in the office of the Deputy Governor of the state, Emenike Ihekwuaba , of the preparedness to track down his kidnappers and that from all indications, he was still alive in their den.

“We were able to trace them. Victims are highly-placed citizens of this state,” he said.

The commissioner also said about two kidnap victims were rescued in Otulu, Oru East Council while five suspected kidnappers were arrested.

He regretted that those who abducted the five-year- old child were taking her to Zamfara for ritual purposes.

He promised Imo people of continued efforts to rid the state of criminals, criminals, especially during this festive season.

Good move by Okorocha. I also want him to take the war against kidnappers a step higher. Any kidnapper caught should have his 2 arms amputated for 1st offender . 2nd offender should lose one of his legs in addition to d hands. 3rd offender will lose all limbs.

Good move especially as concerns the customers. The 5/mille is killing. That is why some businesses prefer to open those zero COT accounts in order to reduce charges. But the accounts still don't give u d full benefits of a current account. I for one as a businessman wouldnt mind d 3/mille. On d other hand this may lead to more illegal deductions by banks to make up for d income shortfall or retrenchment, downsizing, rightsizing and salary deduction just to stay afloat.

gramci: The management of the TV station is yet to give official reason for the abrupt terminationof the broadcast
The management of Bayelsa State Television, on Tuesday, stopped a live programme after the invited guests berated the state government’s handling of the victims of flood disaster.
The one hour long programme at the state owned television station, called Gloryland Television , was terminated after 25 minutes when Tamarakuro Oweifie, the General Manager, directed the programme’s anchorto draw the curtains.
Mr. Oweifie told PREMIUM TIMES he would explain the reasons for the abrupt end of the programmeafter “he finishes with his investigations.”
Subsequent enquiries were not responded to.
End of discussion
Morris Alagoa, one of the invited guests at the programme said that he was surprised at the sudden decision to end their discussion.
“We have not even attacked the state government, just saying it the way we saw things in our impacted communities and administration of the relief camps,” said Mr. Alagoa, an environmental activist.
Mr. Alagoa and Godwin Ebbeli, another activist, were billed to speak on the flood situation that has ravaged several communitiesacross the Niger Delta region.
While Mr. Alagoa, who had visitedseveral of the communities, spoke on the impact of the flood on the people; Mr. Ebbeli focusedon the state government’s handling of the situation, especially the funds released for the victims.
“He (the general manager) thought we will speak like government officials,” Mr. Alagoasaid.
In addition to the N500 million provided by the Federal Government to mitigate the disaster, the Bayelsa State Government had approved N1.5 billion from the state’s coffers, according to Mr. Ebbeli.
The state’s House of Assembly had also approved a supplementary budget of N16 billion in the aftermath of the disaster.
Mr. Ebbeli questioned the government’s handling of the funds, adding that it had not reached the real victims of the flood.
That was when the TV station’s management felt they had gone too far.
“First of all they stopped the program as if it was the usual breaks for commercials.
“Then a staff came into the studio and told us, especially my fellow guest, Sir. Godwin Ebbeli that the GM (General Manager) isnot comfortable with some statements we were making about the government,” Mr. Alagoa said.
After the commercial break, the programme resumed.
However, a few minutes into the segment, a hand written signal appeared through a glass screen directing the moderator, Joyce Ogiowon, to end the programme.
“When we came out of the studio, some of those watching it from outside expressed surprise too; why the programme ended the way it did,” Mr. Alagoa added.
It was not exactly clear why the programme was ended abruptly but there were indications that Mr. Oweifie acted on orders from above to secure his job .
While he apologized to the guestsover the incident, the general manager did not give reasons for his action, which also reportedly angered other members of staff.
“Be rest assured that the programme will take place on a day we all agree,” Mr. Oweifie, a former staff of the Nigeria Television Authority, said in response to PREMIUM TIMES’ enquiry.

I have stayed long enough in Bayelsa to know how they reason. The politicians always lord it over the people as if they are slaves. The people follow them like sheeps and goats and cannot express their views. That is why a Bayelsan LGA chairman for just 3month can erect a 5 star hotel and nobody will say anything to him. Go to YENAGOA, all you see are hotels and other big buildings all owned by political appointees. The Government does any shi.t they want. The people never say or do shi.t. I am not surprised this happened. Who are u to criticize d governor. You can even come out in Rivers and openely criticise Amaechi and nothing will happen. Try it in Bayelsa and see. The people are under perpetual slavery by their so called elected officials.

It's just like the DEA investigating a columbian drug baron or the FBI investigating a serial killer coming out in the open to announce on national TV. It's either the IG is NAIVE or simply using this as a means to cover up for his hausafulani brothers and warning them to lay low for now.

This one na for oyibo woman dem. Try all these things for naija woman and don't give her money, recharge her fones and BIS, buy her car e.t.c, see if she no go leave u waka. Na love dem wan chop?

coldgate: why go to all the trouble of locking your phone? It only breeds suspicion even when the man is innocent. If my man locks his phone;he must give me the code or else....

Or else what?

afam4eva: I thought the flood affected Anambra, Kogi, Bayelsa etc. How come it's only Delta that everyone is visiting? Are they worse hit?

Btw, what's Uduaghan doing. Is he a doctor?

Dude, he is a medical doctor. Just like Peter Odili.

DeCleff: Guy am not in support of Jonathan's alleged annexing of Kalabari oil fields to Bavelsa state but my disagreement with is on the issue of power in the State. Since Rivers State was created, only the riverine communities has been ruling the state as governors except in 1999 when Odili broke the statusquo and became the first governor who's not from the riverine communities. And thats how the ikwerres got the seat of power, so u guys (kalabars) should forget power for and let other tribes like the Ogonis to produce the governor b4 u guys.

Don't mind them. They are asking for oil wells as if that will guarantee developement. I'm sure it is their leaders that will stil connive with the IOCs to rip people off.

Old rusted skinny smelly scarecrows. No wonder they could'nt get any man. Well...as they say, 'onye a juru aju anaghi aju onwe ya'

Abagworo: The fall of ACN is at hand.

PDP, ACN, all na the same.

[quote author=Okija_juju]Why is everyone saying this?!

I really dont think he has slowed down at all o!!

Infact, i think the second tenure is all about consolidating the projects started during the first.. Every trip I make to the airport, all I see is progress.. That road expansion is something I pray can be achieved before he leaves.. That and the Monorail.. [/quote]In your dreams bro. I was d monorail conference held in presidential some months ago. The transport commissioner laid out all d plans they had on d monorail. Phase 1A which is now currently under construction will run from Sharks park area, through Chief Lulu Briggs road and Azikiwe Road to UTC junction (2.6km). That they will achieve by end of 2013. Then 1B will continue from UTC along Aba road terminate at waterlines (3.9km). They are also contemplating Ikwerre road (Ikoku-UST roundabout-Olu Obasanjo-waterlines). So far 11bn has been spent. I was part of d delegation dat was shown the engine of d train and other parts already imported and inside a warehouse. But from what i am seeing, 1B may not be achieved in Amaechi's tenure. What guarantee do we have that his successor will continue from there. Even the investment partner, TSI which is supposed to provide 80% of d funds in d PPP are not forthcoming. I pray d monorail doesnt end up as another white elephant project and a monumental waste.
