When i say corruption is now part of our culture , i meant that it should not have been there . But  i am telling the truth Most people follow what they see . We glorify people that atttain so called success through corrupt practises. Crooks ,Drug dealers get  tittles easily , they run the town, poeple hail them . If we all frown at such actions maybe this will send a message that you cannot be stealing and expect us to be hailing you. But there is hope , if only we put our differences apart and fight corruption in our  society. We have discussed corruption all these years, a drastic measure has to be put in place. I know we all try , but we need to do something that will really chage everybody mind set.

I do not really have faith in any of these government to implement your idea Mr BIG b1, but maybe someday we will have the leadership that will establish less corrupt society. Corruption in Nigeria started way back and it is now part of our culture , We all just need to stand up and make sacrificies . We should do whatever we can do on our own part to discourage corruption no matter what. Having said that we nigerians learn by example if the governmennt come clean and establish a strict punishment to discourage corruption things will change gradually. My whole idea is, you cannot be fighting corruption when you have PHD in the game.

President Yar’Adua has said that Nigeria's determination to eradicate corruption will take a long time to achieve and the country has many years to realise the great potential of its natural and physical endowments.

He also said he has absolute faith in the ability of Nigerians to overcome the nation’s present challenges.

The President said, “We are yet to overcome the bogeys of mindless corruption, sectionalism, ethnicity, religious bigotry, self-serving politics of intolerance and lack of commitment to national ideals.

“Our leaders, political, religious and secular, alike are a long way from imbibing and institutionalizing a culture founded on the tenets of equity, justice, fairness, inclusiveness, good people-centred governance and the fear of God.”

The president who was represented by the Vice President maintained that though the country had what it takes to achieve greatness, what is required was a dedicated, focused and courageous leadership with a clear re-generational roadmap.

He said his government has outlined a roadmap to Nigeria’s restoration in its seven-point agenda under the broad headings of critical infrastructural development; human capital development; wealth creation, food security; land tenure changes and home ownership; the Niger Delta; and national security.

And the agenda were anchored on absolute respect for the rule of law and entrenchment of transparency and accountability in the conduct of government business.

He urged Nigerians to look inwards and search their souls with a view to determining how committed they had been to the national ideals.

The guest speaker, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, said the worst enemies of Nigeria’s federalism were those who “speak of federalism, but act in a unitary fashion by brushing aside the divisions of power between different levels of the federation.”

He said that since independence, Nigeria had been facing the challenge of crafting a constitutional arrangement that had the backing of an overwhelming majority of its citizens.

“Federalism has faced a stiff challenge over the years from those wanting a unitary form of government on the one hand and from those wanting a con-federal arrangement, on the other, ” he said.

He asked, “What is the appropriate and just basis for sharing revenue? Should the federal government have the right to deduct monies due to the states without their permission?

“Should state governments continue to control local government allocations?”

He added that Nigeria needed to evolve a system of leadership selection and accountability capable of producing leaders that could confront the challenges facing it.

Gambari said, “The standard for the recruitment and performance of our individual leaders over the years have left much to be desired.”

“We do not need leaders who see themselves as champions of only some sections of our population. We do not need leaders who do not understand the economic and political problems of the country, not to talk of finding durable solutions to them.

“We do not need leaders who are more interested in silencing their opponent than pursuing justice

Thats fine. But in the future you guys will say somebody did mention the danger ahead .

@ Debosky
  I can tell you have no idea of what you are talking about. All these food that you mentioned what are their sources e.g cassava Right! does cassava look the same nowadays ? and when was the last time you were in  the hospital ? we have always been an healthy nation , but something must have gone wrong somewhere . I know we are all busy with politics , 419 etc but this an important issue we need to pay attention too. if you want to see the proof go visit nigerian hospital. we all need to know about this , people are been poisoned .
Also in the west organic / inorganic are well labelled so that consumers distinguish and make their selection. Right?

We need be aware of the danger these genetically enhanced food has on our health . People are dying young , there are more diseases in Nigeria now unlike before. Please advice on what we can do to make  an average Nigerian to be aware of this danger ? Or should we leave this up to the government ?

@ debosky
I post these letters so that somebody can call these crooks !! they need to stop humiliating Nigerians all over the world.

Smit Charity Foundation
Ikoyi Lagos.

Attn:

My name is Dr. Andy Chike, Senior Board of Trustee Smith Charity
Organization. This mail might come to you as a surprise since I do not you
and you do not know me, but I have a proposal to put before you.

Before I proceed, I would like to explain some relevant facts to you.
Before this mail got to you, I have sent out several proposals of this
nature to foreigners, non Africans, but I received negative response. So
I took it upon me to carry out investigation, I found out that certain
junior officials of this organization and bank had gotten wind of this
proposal and were using it to swindle people of their money without
successfully fulfilling the real aim of the transaction.

I then swung into action and have taken another step to ensure that
this act is stopped and only genuine officials capable to execute a
transaction of this magnitude to a successful conclusion were selected. To
this effect, the transaction has been registered with a particular lawyer
who will handle the whole event based on legal pursuit.

Now the proposal is thus: With due sense of responsibility, I don't
know how far you are related to Mr. Smith family an Arab Oil
consultant/contractor with the Shell Petroleum Company? He died on board with the
Swiss air Flight 111, which crashed into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in
September 2nd 1998.

The plane crash was in the news. My Organization will be grateful to
entrust some fund in your account custody belonging to the deceased. He
had a (Fixed) Deposit account with First City Monument Bank Plc valued
at US$17,500,000.00 (Seventeen Million Five hundred thousand Dollars).
Ever since then, a routine notification has been sent several times to
me by the contract Employee, Shell Petroleum Company to activate the
account since the deceased made a declaration of inheritance to the
Organization.

But, I have this fear of been hunted by the public if I venture get
this money to my Organization account and the management of the First City
Monument Bank Plc is already sending RED alert to confiscate the fund
by the end of this quarter, since the interest is being rolled over
with the principal sum for many years. Please, I want you to stand in as
the relative or next of Kin to the deceased even if you are not related
to him. I will immediately employ the service of her lawyer to notarize
the WILL to your name and forward to the bank all necessary documents
for the transfer.

I knew this will sound strange and surprising, even with lots of doubt
and distrust in your heart. But still, I need you help to secure this
found out of the bank and invest wisely in your country. Just name your
prize for this assistance; 50/50 is acceptable to me. I have to save
the fruits of the old man's labor before it get to the hands of this
corrupt selfish people with their nefarious deeds, whose interest is to
confiscate this fund.

As soon as you consent to this request, with proof of your seriousness
and sincerity to do business with me without betrayal, because you are
at the receiving end promising not to elope with the money which is of
mutual benefit to both of us. I will consult the Bank for the mode of
payment which is optional.

Looking forward to your urgent anticipation to this offer.

Regards
Dr. Andy Chike

I always wonder if we are the only country in Africa that all these companies have all these sanctions against.But i tell you what, we have really proved oursleves . We can only hope the next generation of Nigerians will be different

    Dear Friend,

I am Mr. Franklin Orji, Divisional Head, Foreign Operations Office with First National Bank Plc. here in South Africa.  I was personal account manager to one late Engineer WALTER LAPPAS from America , who till his death, was a Contractor with Impressario Limited, Moenier Gold and Minning Consult.

On the 28th of November 2005 , Engineer WALTER LAPPAS, his wife and their two children were involved in a car accident along Gwagwalada express road Mpumalanga and all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.   

At the time of his death, he had a deposit of US$15.6M (Fifteen Million Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) which was proceed of a contract work he just concluded with the South African Minning authority. The payment was made with a NED BANK Cheque (another commercial bank in South Africa) which I personally cleared. Unfortunately, till this moment no one has come forward as his relation to claim his deposit with us.

My Two colleagues and I humbly request your attention to this matter so that we can present you as his next of kin or beneficiary to his deposit. It is not a very difficult thing to do especially as we shall use our position to assist in the transfer of the fund into any bank account issued by you and it will not take time too.

All we need is to change the name and particulars of his next of kin to yours in our computer database and we file in an application for the release of the fund through the Probate Office in your name backed up with a Court Affidavit of fact. Your country of origin is not a problem and will not pose any obstacle.

It does not necessarily mean that you must be here to conclude the deal; we may request that the money be sent directly to your country through bank Diplomatic service or a direct bank to bank transfer. We also have the consent of the director of international remittance department to arrange the fund and send to you as International ATM CARD if approvals are received if you desire so.

Please contact me as quickly as possible and we will talk about the sharing ratio as soon as you get in touch with me. You can contact me through this email address or my alternative email: franklinorjiitb@yahoo.com I shall on receipt of your response issue you my private telephone number for easier communication.

Thank you and God bless you.

Lets keep it real do we think we will given the hosting right? Are we ready for such a big event? Its like a somebody trying to host a friend and has only one room with not enough space. We were only considered in other to be fair. We all know our stuff is not together yet. Especially for such a short notice 7 Years!!! we probabbly need nothing less than 10 years or more to get ourselves together. Dont get me wrong we will be able to host such an event in the future but not right now. There is hope in our future !!!

@ BIG B1
To support this point , this is very deep, very few people will actually want this situation to be addressed.Evidently the elders that care about this situation doesnt have a say, while the elders that dont care have money and the say. Until we stop measuring our success in terms of how much money you can steal it is going to take a lot to introduce what life should be all about to the coming generation. If we raise our kids using these standards i am sorry my people we still have a long way to go.

It was a very disgarecful event , i hope things turn around for good very soon.

The Federal High Court in Lagos ignored a complaint by ex-Bayelsa State governor, Chief Alamieyeseigha, on his deportation from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

At the scheduled hearing of his pending bail application, his counsel, tried to bring the court's attention to reports of his client's deportation, but the judge ignored them on the grounds that it was not formally before the court.

The court said it was unaware of such development, and that the only pending issue before her on the case was the accused's bail application.

The defence counsel was unable to move the application owing to the absence of the prosecuting counsel who had written the court informing them of his absence and a desire for an adjournment.

After the court's proceeding, he protested his client's deportation.saying that his deportation was because former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar visited him in Dubai.

EFCC accused the former governor of Taraba State, Reverend Jolly Nyame, of stealing N1.64 billion belonging to the state between 1999 and 2007.

Nyame was a three-term governor of the state, having first ruled between 1991 and 1993, before securing another two terms from 1999 to 2007.

He pleaded not guilty to all the charges and his counsel moved an application for his bail on the grounds that the offences were bailable in law. He was ordered remanded in prison custody by the court.

The judge said that considering all the evidence before the court, there is a prima facie case against the former governor, adding that the offence relating to corruption attracts 14 years jail term and can therefore pass for a case that is serious in law.

The EFCC counsel also told the court that from the findings of the commission, the accused person will not will make himself available for trial, adding that he may also interfere with the witness.

His father , Mr. Tavoro Nyame, was also summoned by the EFCC to Abuja yesterday for questioning in connection with the recent arrest of the ex-governor.

They better slow down , because we don't want anything to happen to this man. not because i support what he did but just for peace and stability of the country.

Let me help you out BIG b1. Why do we prefer imported goods. Most Nigerians prefer foreign made goods becasue they do not have confidence in our own home made goods. Why? they will tell you the foreign good will last longer or we wan show off to less fortunate ones. Why ? because they took their time to get it to " certain level of perfection" Nobody is perfect but there is still a limit we can push things to make it look like it is almost there. We cannot be functioning on rush rush lifestyle. Do you guys know that in Nigeria right now we have certain products in the market that the manufacturer will never take elsewhere !!What life standard do we follow? No country is perfect  !! movies that are not up to standard in western world will not even stay 3weeks before folks just give up on it just an example. we need to set a standard for ourselves  not only by showing off our wealth( na so so pose) because the outside world is actually looking and taking advantage of us with tha attitude that " who cares, you can do whatever in Nigeria".

Mamajama:
When you steal is mistake lol

Are you for real?

I think it wil be a good idea for the government to have a body to look into Public office holders assets before and after office.

They need to keep this up .

Please GOD help us !! There is money in Nigeria the people in power are just too abusive.

The EFCC told a court that the former Governor of Jigawa State, Saminu Turaki, allegedly looted N17bn from the state’s treasury in one day. This is is only part of the N33bn and another $20m Turaki allegedly misappropriated within a year.

The EFCC showed that on May 3, 2006, alone 17 fraudulent bank transactions were carried out by him during which the N17bn was diverted.

On July 31, 2006, he allegedly withdrew N91.8m from the state’s treasury and N32.5m on August 27.

On September 27 2006, he withdrew N3.46m; N417m on October 27, 2006; N32.5m on November 1, 2006; and N25.1m on November 28, 2006.

And by the time he left office ten months N9.2bn had been siphoned from the state’s treasury by the former governor in three transactions.

As the charges were read to him, Turaki looked tired and held on to a copy of the Holy Quran,, shook his head intermittently in the dock and at a point tears rolled down his cheeks.

After the charges were read to him, his lawyer moved an application for his bail arguing that the offences which Turaki allegedly committed were bailable.

The judge however ordered that the former governor be remanded in Kuje Prisons till the next adjourned date of July 23.

Mamajama a picture might clarify things

Not to take anything away from business folks who are going into politics , been a president, governor whatever is not like running a business , you can not be making business decisions all the time as a governor-or president you need competent people who know whats up to help , e.g look at George bush situation Just an example.( business decision per Iraq) Another thing is that if we want someone to be commissioner for education let us appoint someone with experience that will work with the governor's business sense to help masses not just a fellow business friend . what do you think will happen if everybody is a business man we all be looking at the same direction MONEY, CHOP CHOP, BUSINESS, BUSINESS !!!! all the time. I see this trend in Nigeria all the time.

Mamajama:
People please be careful when you talk of IBB his son is on this forum and he will come after you guys with every weapon possible.

GOOD ! At least they can know how we all feel.

@ BIG B1
I totally agree with you  been a governor is not a joke , no to talk of running more than two businesses at the same time.I don't know how they do it but something is not right. I guess its BUSINESS as usual all the way

I still dont know why we try to justify other people's wealth without knowing them personally and we are not toooooo sure how things work.
