Magu does not need the confirmation of the senate to remain in office as the acting chairman of EFCC. In as much as he's not parading himself as the substantive chairman, he's still very much occupying the office legitimately until the president says otherwise.

Again, the EFCC is an institution and not an individual, the agency can prosecute based on the provisions of the EFCC act and not whether the chairman is acting or substantive.

I dnt knw the rocket science that ppl assume on the ownership of this ghost money.We knew frm the very day it was announced that the money was part of the last administration's loot by the sudden heart attack and death of former CSO of Jonathan Gordon Obuah,he died of heart attack the moment the news filtered into the air abt the raid of the building by EFCC
Evn most PDP starwalt didn't have knowledge of the loot,it ws subtletly diverted by Jonathan and his gangs of thieves led by Obuah without the knowledge of other top starwalts of the party.
Jonathan is a big thief,watch how his stupid defenders will flood this thread with silly attack an defense.

I am not saying that they shouldn't invite him. Read my previous posts. The question is why celebrating the compulsion of wearing uniform over the real issue. The issue is the policy, which in itself is targeted at the rich, who don't pay full duties but may cause trouble for the masses. That is what we should be talking not uniform as they want to divert attention to...

Which agency discovered the pump action after it was cleared? Is it not same custom. Didn't they track down their officers, who cleared it? In the past, they would have sneaked into the country without being noticed.

On revenue slump, u should know that Dino is only whipping sentiment. Reasons for revenue slump is neither here nor there... in a time when Naira has fallen fast, how many people are importing. Only exporters benefit from devalued currency.

Rise above sentiments and question every motive of your SINators, who are not representing you!

I am very happy that Former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi has taken such pains to detail his role in this helicopter matter. I hope Buhari, Osinbajo and EFCC, SFU, Police, Army and DSS are reading Amaechi's statement, which should be adopted as the chargesheet of his criminality and corruption.

Amaechi says ONSA contributed half of the cost of the 2 helicopters, that half being $15 million dollars.

The helicopters have been bought and imported, Nigerians can only assume, at the total cost of $30 million dollars.

Amaechi says that Goodluck Jonathan granted duty waiver.

Nigeria customs at Sahcol insists that the importer (Amaechi) paid duty of N11.8 billion naira.

The only incontrovertible fact here is that current Rivers State Governor Wike is not in possession of the true details since he is not the importer. Amaechi has admitted that he is in material fact the importer.

Can Aviation Minister Rotimi Amaechi please tell Nigerians how 2 Bell Helicopters manufactured in 2012, at a cost of $6 million dollars each became $15 million dollars each by the time he bought them?

Can Amaechi tell Nigerians what happened to the sum of N11.8 billion naira that he took from Rivers State Government coffers ostensibly as duty payments, for these 2 Bell Helicopters which he now admits he obtained duty waiver for?

For any doubting thomas that Amaechi looted Rivers State dry, every helicopter has a chassis number like a car. The 2 helicopters in question that are now impounded at Murtala Mohammed Airport can be tracked in detail.

Bell Helicopter 412EP, Chassis Number 36606 was manufactured in 2012, registered to Africair in Miami Florida - http://www.helis.com/database/cn/46148/

Bell Helicopter 412EP, Chassis Number 36608 was manufactured in 2012, registered to Africair in Miami Florida - http://www.helis.com/database/cn/46149/

Amaechi must account for the illicit profit of $18 million dollars he pocketed from claiming the helicopters cost $30 million dollars when in fact they cost $12 million dollars.

Amaechi must also account for the duty sum he removed from Rivers even though he knew the helicopters had duty waiver. In 2013/14, Amaechi would have converted that so called duty sum of N11.8 billion naira at CBN rate of around N160 to 1 dollar, that is $73.7 million dollars at the prohibitive duty that was actually waived. Customs has confirmed seeing documents for n11.8bn duty with no end-user certificate.

18 million dollars and 73.7 million dollars has disappeared in this Amaechi's sole trader of helicopters importation scam.

Nigerians are not blind, Amaechi must refund the $91.7 million dollars he stole in only 1 transaction.

ionsman:
No need for this...Any sane mind would have known Wike was spewing thrash.His story was bereft of common sense.

Dongreat:
Every touts in ND wants to be like Asari Dokubo, Ateke Tom, Tompolo, whose wealth were amassed from militancy. I am not surprised about any groups emerging because the day the Nigerian government decided to grant amnesty to these thieves parading themselves as freedom fighters, not arresting their leaders and known sponsors, that's the day the government signed an irrevocable agreement with "Satan". Going to schools for the ND kids are no longer lucrative. Why should I study hard and become innovative towards solving ND problems when I can just carry a gun, destroy government pipelines and still get a fat paycheck as amnesty? And to those including my ND people who refused to condemn this act, I can confidently say that you all are sad people and you have my pity.

Ps: please only quote to debate well and not like an average political Nairalander who engaged based on religion beliefs, tribal affiliated and political parties. Think out of the box.

You want to construct a new run way and maintain a new run way at night? In Nigeria
Wow
If you stay in kadunayou will see the economic benefits to you and your environment in 6weeks
The minna ABUJA road is more of a death trap the ABUJA Kaduna road may not be the beat but it's one of the best fedrel roads we have in the country

Sometimes we just criticize for nothing sake what is bad in saying you want to renovate the airport and fix the runway? Is Kaduna not where most pilots learn to fly locally is that not where NCATT is based? Is Kaduna airport not used as a military base for the air force and army? Is Kaduna airport not used as an international airport to lift pilgrims?
You guys just amaze me, and its also funny that the critisims are led by people who had the opportunity and the right funding to do the right thing but failed to do it...now thy Dont want other people to fix it

Adminisher:
You are calling Yaradua and Jonathan who were a bunch of weaklings "intelligent".
Buhari should spend money, acquire the technology and weapons to stop oil pipeline bombings. It is a technical issue and can be done . They can deny access to pipeline rights of way and also by the time 5000 people are wasted and hunger enters Niger Delta the bombing will stop.
Some of us worked for decades in the Niger Delta.
Things are easy and the FG is soon allowing the oil companies to have armed private security very soon.
A lot of ND boys are going to die unnecessarily and you won't be able to blame the FG for it.
If you want to dare Nigeria, please go and fortify yourself properly first. Don't threaten on the pages of newspapers. Everybody just lazily takes it for granted that people can just bomb pipes and ask.for anything and get it. Please even Clark and Jonathan are not safe anymore. The bombings are not scaring people, they are annoying people.
Please stay tuned and watch.
As a Yoruba proverbs says;
" he who looks down at today's person with yesterday's eyes is going to be stripped naked by terrible ogres and demons"

Most of you don't know Jack about Wike and his political strategy that's why you swallow his propaganda hook,line and sinker. It's simple,
1. Raise an allegation
2. Create the incident
3. Blame the opposition e.g the printing incident you mentioned

Have you ever wondered why his Commissioner of information was Sacked, that's if you know at all.
Simply because the man was not comfortable with the lies he had to tell publicly which where dangerous.
And till date Gov Wike has no spokesman but himself.

Like it or Not, Gov Wikes weapon in any matter is by force or by thugs
Cage his Thugs and he is Weak, same strategy applied by the APC in the rerun

As for Flag Amachree, he knocked the man down with his Car in an Attempt to escape death from people shooting at him, the needful was done to appease the Man's family and Burial arrangements but the Gov took it upon himself to force the matter. OJ was freed because the family settled out of Court. Lest you Forget OJS lawyer was assassinated during the case. Be wise

chiwetaluAGU:
This comming from a state governor typifies everything wrong with Nigeria.
Firstly, the midget recognises the porousity of our borders and makes it sound legit for aliens from other countries to transverse Nigeria unhindered. So our immigration laws does not affect the fulanis from other african countries? Wow! what a country! Hypocrisy will not kill us.
Secondly, when did we start paying criminal aliens for crimes committed on our soil? Even if they are aggrieved are'nt there legal means of seeking redress than the continued maiming and killings by the so called aliens? I thought our laws frowns at taking laws into one's hand.
If anything, El rufai has just confirmed the conspiracy of FULANI AGENDA by his statements. We shall surely get to the tips someday, size ourselves squarely on the battle field, spill enough bl**d that will last us centuries to come and be forced to see every other human life as important as ours. Every other condition in life is transcient. El rufai, we are not fooled but we will wait and see.

you people seem to know too much

so its wrong to fix the run way,?
ABUJA AIRPORT HAS ONLY ONE RUNWAY don't say what you don't know

What did GEJ use his father's oil to achieve for the Niger Delta in 5 yrs? I dash him one year of learning and settling down. So what did he use 5yrs and oil to do for you tha Buhari should do in 1+yr? Fake drunken people.

MeAboki:
It is equally sad to note the lack of objectivity and reasoning in your perception which seem to have been pre-set in a prejudicial stereotyped mode.

First of all, I am not a spokesman for El-Rufai who therefore must blindly support him whether right or wrong; however, I am not ready to also sit back and buy into the ongoing political propaganda and conspiracy theories driven purely by ethnic and religious sentiments.

Secondly, curfews are often used as universal tools for stopping further escalation in situations of complete breakdown of law and order e.g. riotous conditions where movement is restricted in order to prevent the warring parties from regrouping or coming together with a view to resumption of hostilities.
Curfews have been declared at various times in this country e.g. at national level (during military coups) at state level (to curb post election violence) also at LGs level (communal clashes) during which the law enforcement agencies, police/army are used to enforce it, with orders to arrest or even shoot at sight any violator.
However, at no time can anyone expect for the police/army to be physically present everywhere in order to effectively enforce a curfew because it is practically not realistic - especially over a vast area such as southern Kaduna.
What they are expected to do is to patrol the whole area, moving from one place to another ensuring compliance.
Of course, this cannot offer full guarantee against a determined group from sneaking to attack another; just as the burglar proof in your house cannot guarantee you full safety that burglars or armed robbers cannot break in and steal from you.

Blaming the governor for declaring the curfew and for the attack on the two LG is therefore quite unfair and mischievous because the alternative would have definitely led to more loss of life.

The governor as the chief security officer is no doubt privy to intelligence report from the relevant secret agencies; how do you know he was not acting on such intelligence when he spoke of the anticipated attack from militants; besides it would appear that he was completely vindicated with the capture of such armed non-indigene.

If you were to analyse the statement acredited to El-Rufai on the Fulanis years ago, you would appreciate it was an attempt by him to explain the Fulani nature and culture of revenge - which many presently fail to factor as contributory to the ongoing communal conflicts associated with them.
It is unfortunate to note how his detractors have deliberately been misconstruing it into negative propaganda in order to malign him; much in the same way that PMB is being deliberately misquoted out of context for his dog and baboon as well as the 97% and 5% speech by his haters.
If El-Rufai did in fact paid off some Fulanis after being robbed off their cattle from revenging against the local community of the rustlers; then his motive should be quite obvious, that he in fact only did so in order to save lives and broker peace - after all he would not be the first to do that; since the whole ND amnesty programme was based on that premise; besides one of the SE governors (Imo or Anambra) was on record to have similarly paid off Fulanis from taking revenge after their cattle were rustled.

Get ya fact right alhaji musa umaru yaradua reduced it from #70 to #65 before jonathan increased it from #65 to #97 approximately #100 and now #90 few weekz to general election when oil price has fall Globally since last 4 month...............opposition party has won in greece,sri lanka and now the train is moving to nigeria.

ItsMeAboki:
Your post is as pathetic as Jonathan's intelligence; pls name who was born into this world, survived, lived and prospered all by himself without the aid or support of anyone?

ivandragon:
if with crude oil at less than $50 pb, PYO says Nigeria saved over N1.4t (i.e $7b using an exchange rate of N200)...

can 'you' imagine how much sudsidy was paid when crude was sold at over $90 pb?


so if subsidy had been removed as at 2012, Nigeria would have saved an average of $7b*3=$21b...

$21b on removing fuel subsidy alone would have been saved from 2012-2014.

now that landing cost of PMS is N213 per litre, let's see if PMB won't increase fuel price or reintroduce 'direct' subsidy...

obailala:
No doubt, the reign of GEJ was laced with good luck for the country, but the righteous man squandered the blessings which God gave Nigeria (because of him) on people like Dasuki, etc. If the good fortunes that accrued to Nigeria within those years of plenty were utilized properly, Nigeria would have had at least one or two functional refineries (at least one new one should have been built + resuscitation of the old dead ones). Also we would have had at least one or two major roads completed or one or two power plants built and completed to balance our power problems. We would have at least had a major high speed standard rail completed and functional within that period and if those were in place, we wouldn't be so much affected by the crisis in the oil industry today.

duni04:
I must commend those protesters. I keep reading comments on Nairaland like "if this was a sane country, people would have protested and this guy would have been impeached"
People say that a lot here but nobody wants to protest and remove this man. This is a man (fayose) that has stolen so much since his 2006 poultry scam! This is a man we all heard online last week gloating and laughing with his fellow murderer in Rivers on how they "killed everyone"
At least some of us have the liver to go out and protest and say enough is enough.

Heffalump:
First, you should know by now that the whole issues surrounding the Shekau flag is nothing but a psychological warfare. It's going to do a lot of damages to the sect's psyche.

story for the gullible

Second, you should know that Shekau's flags are many. The one taken by the Army could be one of the terrorist's flags. Those claiming otherwise, can you read the inscriptions on the flag?

the fact is that in the so called many flags none is same as the one the army claims to have recovered from Sambisa casting shadows of the claim

Last, why are some people making a mountain out of a mole hill cause of terrorist flag? This does not reduce the fact that Sambisa has been rumbled and jumbled by the military and Shekau and his gang are on the run.

The president of the country made it an important national event so its no longer a mole hill its the integrity of the military and the presidency at stack now unless in their normal way they would ignore the truth calling it opposition rants as thei did the economic issues which has gotten out of their control now

Please, FYI stop wasting people's time by comparing flags. We should all by now be praising what the military has achieved for us, except you're an enemy of the State.

[ quote author=princejayy post=52370683]

Bros, do you stay in port Harcourt and if you do,where exactly?
Secondly,Rivers state has enough recreational centres for its citizens,can you tell me what big outing destination that's not overcrowded during festive period that is taking Port Harcourt, Lagos and Abuja as case study
Thirdly,investors in rivers state are highly welcome ,the only thing is the lands we have here are damn expensive ,let's say 11 million for one plot,if you cannot afford it ,leave our land for us and also before a company is set up on in a land MoU must be reached between community people and the owner of the establishment, after all,you are there to make profit,and I don't think there demands are tasking because they weight the firm before demanding


You have truly spoken like a typical indigene of Rivers State. 90% of the indigene are like that and I am not surprised. Why must a company sign MOU to pay your chiefs in the name of the community bla bla plus the numerous troubles from the youth who will demand to be paid monthly and slots/position in the company. If the demands are not terrible, why is it that a lot of non-oil related companies collapse after 1 or 2 years.

Go to the SW and see how things are done.

Stop lying, there is no recreational centre/places in Port-Harcourt. For outings me and my family go to Enugu and Lagos.
