Everyone here is busy picking one side to support ( for or against FG/Tompolo) but no1 sees the political side to this saga. I feel it's beyond jus Tompolo. I see some unseen hand behind the scene pulling the strings I even see top military brass implicated in the renewed hostilities in the ND. I believe it's more political than criminal case. They are using Tompolo's court order to send a message than the country can be made a lawless state. I see a bait to truncated our democracy and who else to use of cause a known outlaw/ warlord.
There is crisis in NASS about PMB"s budget, security circles are tensed as their bosses are called in for questioning, with no budget and less oil production the economic dwindles and the mass go against the govt. Even the solders would rebel when their pay/allowances are unpaid and going to the creeks to fight is 50per cent chances of dying.
We heard rumours of military intervention jus b4 the elections, recently SLS spoke of the 1966 coup and how it's signs are re-emerging. The political class feel threatened @ the moment for their actions one time or the other, spiritual leaders are saying we should pray for the president.
There is more to this than EFCC vs Tompolo
We all need to pray for nigeria because I see the wicked forces who have held us down working very hard to cause war for their selfish reason.
Please Pray for God's wisdom on the president so he doesn't fall prey to the wicked plans of our enemies.

We should commend d president 4 listening to us on nairaland and Nigeria masses in general for reducing aso rock feeding from 500million naira in d first version to 100Million naira in the new version.

This is better than in d past were president defend 1billion naira for Aso rock feeding

We should commend d president for reducing Car in presidency from 3.4billion in d first version to 340million in the new one. That is 90% drop.

I agree he was not well advised on how to go about it, but it was done with d interest of d masses. But we should focus on end point of the action and not on frivolities PDP are feeding d masses with.

We should understand that Buhari was not under any compulsion to reduce some of those extravagance. He could have ignored d criticism of d masses and leave the waste in d budget. But he listen to us and amended it.

Why is it not an issue in the House of Representative? The Budget was not only given to Senate. The budget was presented to Joint National Assembly. Not to senate alone. House of rep has no issue with d amendment. But criminal Saraki in d senate is trying to over blow it to protect himself from code of conduct tribunal because the supreme court decision is close by on the 5th of February. He is wasting his time. If Saraki thinks he can connive with PDP to blackmail the president into killing the anti-corruption drive of the president, he is making a big mistake .

The Budget has not be signed into law. It has not be approve. So it can be changed or ammended. The president saw an error and chose to correct. He may have been advised wrongly on how to do it, but the overall intention is noble. Nigerians should learn to praise noble things rather than destroying it with useless technicalities and partisanship.


PDP should not be taken seriously because they dont care a bit about Nigeria masses.
They only care about protecting thier criminal members and looters.

Next time the president must ensure he prove read every document before making it public to avoid this kind of embarrassment in the future.

As far as i am concern, this whole noise on d budget is due to the fact that the President and Saraki are not in good terms. So senate President is making unneccessary noise about it.

There is no illegality in what d presidency did. No law was broken. He may have missed some protocol in doing it, no single law was broken.

As a member of Nigeria masses, I know when things is done for the interest of d masses. This case is clearly in d interest of d masses. I will rather focus on d nobility of the intention and action of the president, than focus on the technicality which is being overblown out of proportion in d senate by the senate president to protect himself from prosecution.

I have seen both version. They are almost 99% the same. The majoy difference is the reduction in Extravagance in the presidency in the new one.


THE BUDGET WAS SUBMITTED TO BOTH SENATE AND HOUSE OF REP. HOUSE OF REP SPEAKER SAID NOTHING IS MISSING WHY IS SENATE PRESIDENT MAKING ALL THE NOISE.

Spin doctor you try but not good enough to brain wash anyone. he who goes to equity must go with clean hands. it's called politics the dirty game. Mr president should learn to be a politician not a military man some things are best discussed than fought. when you want to prove you ve absolute powers you must make sure you do everything according to law or get ambushed as has happened.
I don't support the tactics of the senate but the president should just apogees to nigerians cos as simple as you see this act it is an impeachable offence and with the rift between the presidency and the senate (it president) he is in for a long thing.

coolscott:
[size=13pt]I was a bit surprised when I viewed the sentencing of a US senator (William Jefferson) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Jefferson implicated in a bribery scandal in which his agreement to bribe our then vice president became revealed. You can still find the sentencing file hosted on the US Department of Justice's site.

What was really surprising was the citing of exhibits 36-87 revealing wire transfers from a Nigerian account in the name of Aisha Buhari to the account of ANJ Group LLC, identifying the American senator as the beneficiary.

This lends credit to the allegations of missing $2.8billion dollars under Buhari's watch in 1983

It also I believe explains why Buhari found it okay to serve under the Abacha administration and eventually say after Abacha passed away, that "Abacha never stole".

It is his public declaration that Abacha never stole combined with the fact that he served under Abacha that raised serious red flags in my mind about him. Why would anyone (especially one who served under Abacha) make such a declaration? It stands to reason that the only reason he would say that is that he had very strong reasons for which he would want us to believe that statement.
And I make bold to say that those reasons are almost certainly self-protective.

As I write this, it occurs to me that the man (Buhari) does not really respect Nigerians at all. Or else how could he have declared such a feeble lie, expecting anyone to believe it?

Anyway, this is the link to the US Department of Justice-hosted sentencing implicating Aisha Buhari in the Criminal Fraud case of William Jefferson, now serving his term in the US:

Hmmmm

There is an airline as Discovery it has its terminal. @ terminal B in Abj it was 2 start operations last year but don't know what happened.
I friend of mine was 2 b a station manager before he was invited by Peace airlines where he is working now.
But I fink their HQ is in lagos not Abj. So the interview should be in lagos I think.

Timi was bound to loss like. I said before on other trends. Timi lost the senetorial seat to a nobody in bayelsa politics even as an Ex-Gov so how did he expect to win a sitting Gov? he tot being a transition committee member and lobbying minister position 4 hero Beer n co wld save him.

Ameachi's faith is next let's watch n see hw strong the will of an Ijaw man is. They say Dakuku is rivarine but I pray d election come so we show dem what riverine can do Brass LGA na small tin 2 wetin una go see 4 degama, buguma, abonnema, bonny, okirika n ogba egbema etc.

Pray for which battle again? I think say them don win the war?
This Government and conflicting statements
Propaganda Government

freeze001:
It is not a state office in the sense u have portrayed here. The EFCC is a federal government agency and a petition submitted at its remote office is deemed sufficient service to the entire organisation.

It is not the business of the petitioner to bother about whether it has reached Magu's table or not. The offices are for administrative convenience and do not suggest any kind of autonomy that limits its functions to any one state. In other words, it is a federal office only located in Rivers State.

Don't mind the Olodo it's is like saying INEC in PH is a state office so does not have the same powers like Abuja or the REC reports to the state governor

True talk

I m praying for him alright but that God takes over his mind and heart because his mind is going to destroy Nigeria as a country left to his ability.
A man who believes he is the only one right is obviously a ticking bomb to himself and the Nation
One with no fear is heartless so we truly need to pray for him

And the AIT documentary before the elections comes to mind. I m praying for buhari as our president to be guided by God nt his being cos he won't last long gathering so much enemies in a very short time.

All lies law is not speculation and EFCC can not act based of suspicion if it's not truly an attempt to silence the opposition. Ameachi is rewarded for stealing Rivers money n Tinubu is living large even with petitions but the EFCC is chasing FFK on unfounded spiritual revaluation?
When you better news please let's hear it.
This country is turning to one big joke where the govt tells repeated lies to its people and used fulse information to incaserate it's opposition members.

Plenip:
Nurse metuh ! Enjoy your stay.Seriously,
I am yet to be convinced that GEJ would not be tried,he should be prepared.
The wailers should start reharsal so that it will not catch them at unawares.

Even in your wildest dream he won't see the four corners of any court room.
If you wish we could go on a bet of my one hundred thousand naira to your apology ( for the insult u are about to rain on me)

NgeneUkwenu:
What do you expect, when the Caretaker Governor, Nyesom Wike who in a bid to Consolidate on his evil regime, has empowered the ex militants and cultists to unleash Mayhem on the good people of Rivers State...

Most everything be an avenue to show stup.-.dity? Is the Police not a federal force or the JTF belongs to the Governor?
As way back back as 2004 Omuku is controlled by the Vickies and there has always been rival cout clashes even under you lizard of obima n Odili. Its a cultural thing for them (omoku)so stop blaming any1
Anyway I. 4get APC is all about blame games.

ziccoit:
Ask Wike why he has not petition EFCC against his predecessor? That is one of his job.

Forget all this media things. EFCC and ICPC alone.

Abeg no vex wetin happen to Timipre Sylva cases wey EFCC been dey go court for during GEJ?
Only a fool would belief the fight against corruption as pursued by this EFCC. When I. See Amechi invited I go comment

rukkymary:
The APC have started blaming themselves it will only take time but the truth most surely be told

Just simple truth

El rufie is also has a state to run so how well has he done so far
When pointing a finger @ some1 remember @least 3others are pointed @ yourself

Nice piece

TooNoisy:
Who ever believed he died? When and where was he buried? How can the first civilian governor of a state not be given a befitting burial if he is indeed dead.

Buhari gets in then Alamiseigha and Diezani suddenly fall apart. Make dem dey deceive themselves! Worst still, his brother takes a selfie with him while on life support and broadcasts to the whole world. They will all return our money!

Abeg leave trash for lawma!

Which money? How bayelsa money concern you? Come collect money
Every Tom Dick n Harry go claim oil money so now e don reach to claim our state allocation too?
Na Wao 2 una o.
As for those wey say Alams is alive, Amen to that cause a living Dog is better than a dead lion. Make saturday come pass first b4 beyelsa go celebrate Alams.

OgbeifunErom:
Immediately his son returned from Aso Rock and notified him that PMB did not even grant him audience, he decided to start running his fat mouth.

Dokpesi says there is no $2.1 billion missing but Dasuki has listed all the people that collected the money, including the FAT old man called Dokpesi himself who collected N2.1 Billion


By the time the Nigerian justice system is done with Dokpesi, all the Fat in his neck will melt.

The era of impunity is gone. General Buhari is now in Charge

Please did you see were Dasuki listed the people,
Has Dasuki been allowed to make official statements? Has any evidence been presented in court to that effect? For now it's a one sided story
I don't belief in this media trial please let's wait for the real trials to begin and start hearing the shocking revaluation to be made as evidences in court before we convict innocent people because Mr Integrity ( who also eats yam) n his team said so.
We ve been deceived 4 too long both to loot us n now to crush the opposition so they too can loot. When we are busy trying the PDP on the media they are busy slipping billions into budget to be. Looted.

hinwazaka:
An OLODO from SS will pay 19,500 to corpers, improve our local industries, build roads, schools and rail tracks. He will restore hope to the economy and spread joy to all. But an OLODO from the north, will dry up money from the banks in a jiffy. He will limit the cash flow in the economy, and attack the spending capability of the citizenry. He will insult and fight all those who could have helped in their own little way, without knowing how powerful they are together as a bloc. And he will do all this, without a backup plan, or even a front plan.

No kill me with laugh abeg

DaGC:
In as much as this is a comedic statement, I cant help but remember pre-elections when the APC also threatened to do same if they lost.

Nigerians are indeed funny

Do you see it as calculated plot by this people? First get kanu arrested to buy sympathy then now make statements same way the APC did and invite another arrest.
There is sometin we are not seing and if our intelligence agency are really intelligent then they won't make the same mistake done already with kanu.
I m not in the security circles but some1 should start thinking with their heads and not with their pride.

Kirigidi:
Why ar u takin dat news serious? I'm a Niger-Deltan nd at d same time residin in d region. Believ me, no real non-Igbo Niger-Deltan supports joinin Biafra! Biafra is an Igbo project, nd exclusivly for d Igbo pipo. D so-calld Iyoyo (playboy) is an Igbo impostor but masqueradin as Niger-Deltan just to deceiv d public dat we ar part of dia Biafra as they did in d 1960s! It is dia usual trick to drag us Niger-Deltans into dia Igbo Biafra struggle! D fraudster Iyoyo is a fake; he is unknown in d Niger-Delta! Hav u heard of such name Iyoyo among names of popular ex-militant leaders bfor e.g Tompolo, Boyloaf, Ateke Tom, Asari Dokubo, Afri?

Did you hear of Tompolo before 2010? There are a lot of unknown war lords in the creeks waiting for an avenue to become the next Tom, Asari or Tompolo so be deserving yourself that cause you stay in PH, Uyo or Yenegoa you know shit about the creeks.
I don't belief in biafra but I belief in a multi-party state.
My take is the south south is PDP so same way APC is using state organs to fight opposition, the PDP might be using their militant to mak the country "ungovernable" jus like APC did 2 them but being smart by turning the game so the law is by them both ways after all APC disobeyed court orders so use that to break the law too and the APC govt is legally bound to suffer worst as no money, no stability, loss of power immediately tru military or in 2019 by election. Think outside the box.

Coolguy89:
Arrest dat barawo

Arrest him for what reason? Being a media director to a campaign? Or because he is PDP? I ve said this time and again the earlier we stand up to media trials the safer our nationhood would be, as it is this 2.1B yam is beclouding proper reasoning of the citizens and I wonder if they. Didn't do simple maths cos if you add up all the different sums of monies to all mentioned it's way above the Dasukigate so where is the balance coming from? 1. 7b to FFK, 50M 2 dis 300M to PMB, 1.2B to dat na Wao
Let's see this for what it truly is a means to turn Nigeria to a One Party state.
We really have to pray and be watchful as we are in for dark times.
God help Nigeria.

abduljabbar4:
Its only because of the oil as destroying it can be harmful to the entire country especially in our current situation but who will suffer more? They will lose the oil and die of pollution.

Guy forget it, no group in this country can be stronger than the government.

If you know what warfare is you won't start one when you won't have the finances to sustain it.
Common allowances that was not paid the solders deserted the north east so talk of a situation salaries won't be paid and weapons are not bought with body odours. The militants would trade. Oil for weapons like they did in their hay days so let's be diplomatic in dealing with war mongers cause they are low and fear no fall.

abduljabbar4:
The worst they can do is to destroy oil pipelines and harm the nation but these boys cannot last 5 months in a face-to-face war. Boko haram despite being dangerious are always hiding and these cheap noise makers are here threatening war.

Somebody should remind asari dokubo that gej lost the election. Maybe he is still sleeping o

I can see another ignorant noise maker spotted
If only nigerians could learn from history we won't be were we are today.
To remind you Asari Dokubo is the reason this country is paying amnesty today from his days as IYC president which lead to 1999 kaiama Declaration the beginning of military which lasted over 9years bringing us to our knees as a country. The war against BH is still on because the military doesn't know who BH is so how do we win a war with Militants you don't know in a terian you can not understand
With very many of the military unable to swim.
Ignorance they say is bliss so enjoy it.

ayindejimmy:
can u hear urself.
D evil ones wil knw no peace until they repent.
We want to kill corruptn bt i gues some of us assume it was gonna b a walk in d park.
As 4 Efcc waitin 4 order...dats all trash.

Repent meaning decamp to APC? (like Ameachi, Saraki, Fashola, all other PDP decampees)
With all the noise, revelations and facts in the disposal of the APC led govt is yet to successfully convict one person in the court of law for seven months even with the aid of GEJ's criminal justice act 2015 to help speed up the trial. Yet every1 they go after is guilty in the news paper or social media?
@ the rate once any1 does not like you all they have 2 do is accuse you of Yam eating from 2.1B dasukigate and you can be hang free of charge without your fundamental right to fair hearing.
We are creating a situation that would consume us all in this country one way or the other

jopretty:
You should learn to respect other people's opinion with the way you talk. I haven't said anything out of the ordinary. If you are not concerned about the happenings in my dear country Nigeria some persons like myself are. Don't ever quote and tell me to STFU pls.

If u are realy concerned as you say then common sense would make you not to post comments to incited the situation to detonate any further than it has. By saying STFU shows you how words can provoke an unwarranted response. The same way a simple STFU got you to respond to me same way an inciting statement can provake the trigger happy solders/ militants to make our lives harder than it already is.

jopretty:
Some people be forming Boss and issuing out stupid warnings. Shebi they are all deaf to the nonsense Mazi Kanu
used his Radio Biafra to propagate.

My always said pride come before a fall. All. Signs are showing that the nation is in trouble but our pride is blinding us. Even the former president has said we should in our words and action promote Nigeria not provoke division but the contrary is what is happening.
When a child cries n points @ a direction it's either the ojuju is there or the person that bit him
Keep calling them useless when it starts it's me and you that will suffer cause like the military they have big guns when 2 elephants fight na who dey suffer?
Unless u get ur own gun 2 protect ursef better STFU

mikolo80:
do our courts look or sound independent where billions are concerned. desperate times call for desperate measures or are you ppl happy the way pdp ruled us

So because you think you are in desperate times you think every1 shares that opinion?
The Law is sacrosanct and is the premise for which the president is also sitting where he is 2day so if he and his agent decide to. Disobey the same law they should be ready for what comes their way. When a Sargent refuses to obey his command as C in C I hope he does not try to invoke the same law to punish the Sargent. When the citizens go on civil disobedience as they promised GEJ (ameachi pre-election promise) hope they don't result to using the same law to subdue them. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW NOT EVEN MR PRESIDENT UNLESS THE LAW IS USELESS IN THAT CASE NOT EFFECTIVE ON ANYONE ( we don't want to turn Nigeria to a lawless state.) desperate times my foot.
Hissssssss F.oo.L

mrvitalis:
Ameachi built the best primary school system in Africa
Amaechi built the best primary health care centers in Nigeria
.countless Road network.
The power sector he was fantastic
The agricultural sector he was fantastic
Employment ask Rivers people
Sports. ... . The best sports complex in Nigeria
Common bro u don't stay anywhere near Rivers State so no need...

Sorry giving pass mark 4 everything does nt make it true. What power sector are you talk bout? Which sports complex you mean compared to Akpabio's stadium, Ameachi is a fraud and posterity would judge him.
Let's see how he performs in transport in the federal and if he won't turn to blame games again

I thought I saw some where in NL that the same Faka is in dubai?

Anyway Ateke Tom would never work for Sylva/ APC in Bayelsa when he's rivers state PDP leader in Okirika LGA and in charge of the caretaker committee. Anyway dreams are very sweet so Sylva should dream on.
