edicolove: Doesn't matter what I or anyone else wants or don't want. Makes no difference. Except a miracle happens, the report is dead.

edicolove: Childish attempt at trickery and trying to divert attention as usual. It won't work sorry. Your man FLawan goofed big time. Your rants here won't save him, sorry.

In otherwords, u havent read the report right? No wonder u never knew that that the report has more than one list
Go here for the report boy, it will shed light to ur darkness

Kobojunkie: Didn't the initial story have it that the SSS already had the video and audio evidence? The story from last friday suggested that the SSS was in on the "sting", and had all the evidence against Lawan. Why does this story now suggest that the evidence has been in Otedola's hands all along?

maybe Otedola has his own copy and version

edicolove: You are wasting bandwidth man! If FLawan goes down, the report is pooo. The report is only as credible as Lawan's a$$ right now!

edicolove: Exibiting you treacherous ways as usual. Did you not watch FLawan arguing for Zenon to be removed from the list on live TV? What other proof do you need?

Just one question for u to be sure that u have fully read the report.
How many lists are in this report?
be man enough to accept u erred boy. i apologised and accepted that i erred when someone corrected me about Tewonde George, why are u this useless?
na wa ooo

eGuerrilla: The moment a certain NLer went to town firing on all cylinders at the beginning of this latest saga, was the time not a few commentators suspended any sense of objectivity.

edicolove: What subsidy report. The one based on blackmail and corruption and extortion or another one?

logica: LOL. Some people (mostly Igbo) are simply against Otedola for being Yoruba. Their hatred clouds any sense they have (assuming they have any brain matter left that is). These kind of mor0ns are the reason why the Igbos lost the Biafran War.

eGuerrilla: Zenon appears as the 6th company indicted for claiming forex even when no petroleum products were imported.
If my understanding is correct, the list you presented here is for companies that were erroneously paid subsidy for Discharges

See excerpt from final subsidy report:

Why should this lady continue to remain in govt and benefit from subsidy claims? Is this not conflict of interest?
I will like to know if Farouk also solicited a bribe from her or what the committeee stated about her is true.
till date she still hasnt denal



Maybe SPG no settle facrook lawan that is why their name appeared. Remember that zenon was once on the list the same facrook exonerate them after the money changed hand so if SPG had settled their name won't be on the list more revelation is coming

[b]But unlike some companies SPG hasnt raised an alarm till date about the wrong done to them. MAybe, like u said

Secondly, dont u think this is a conflict of interest for a federal minister of the repulblic to be benefitting from Subsidy claims?

Donxavier: . @Demdem I think it's better you just keep quiet if you don't want to take sides. Nothing wrong with that. But this your logic of defending Farouk and believing him despite the avalanche of evidences against him and the fact that so far Otedola has been the one to give incontrovertible proofs is Irritating. If you don't believe Otedola fine but your logic for defending farouk is flawed.

debosky: Quit spouting this nonsense and exhibiting your stupid!ty on a public forum.

The police requested evidence on the 16th of May, and the bribe allegedly exchanged hands on the[b] 21st of April[/b]. How in your daft head do you think that the police instructed him to collect bribe nearly a month after he collected it?

The first letter from the IG to Farouk was on the 9th of May, so I ask you - how can the IG have instructed Farouk to collect a bribe after he had collected it?

Stoopidity and ignorance is a dangerous thing.

wise man kindly show me this because i seem not to have come across it.
Farouk so far as tendered a letter from the IGP with a reference number that can be traced from the police headquarters. All we need to confirm the authenticity of this piece. that am ready to wait for. iddiots like u will be ready to conclude before all facts are displayed. ODE.

erniok: @ demdem, quit arguing blindly. Yes, its a recommendation and should it be implemented, would be disastrous for Zenon. Pray tell me,wat was wrong in involving law enforcement agents, who would have discussed with their legal team and decided to go ahead with the operation. I guess ur type prefers investigative to preventive measures.

well, dont think i am. Its just that am not ready to pitch my tent to whatever team for now unlike many of u guys because its still not completely clear. For it to be implemented, the govt/security agents will still go over it and implement the implementables. besides we have the law courts that Otedola can utilise so whats ur basis? Nothing is wrong with involving the security agents, am just not comfortable with the what i think is the original motives

tete7000: In a democratic setting the way obasanjo went fighting corruption is totally wrong. You see you don't fight a wrong with another wrong. President was not meant to go around fighting corruption like it is a personal war. Institutions are meant to be strengthened so that they can carry out their duties. I prefer that allegations are sent to appropriate quarters (efcc and the likes) and they be given time to do their jobs for which they are created. I believe because we have lived under military administrations for too long, we all seem to have lost sense of what is right or wrong. Obasanjo was too raw and too crude to be a democratic president. His methods were wrong and if Nigeria has continued his way, only God knows where Nigeria would be now. He is not better than Jonathan. If nothing happens under Jonathan, it is not because of Jonathan but a reflection that Nigerians in government institutions that have been give free hands to operate are equally corrupt. How else can you describe that Ibori was jailed in US while a Nigerian Judge acquitted him of same charges with same evidences. Is Jonathan the Judge? Or do you expect him to teach the Jugde his job?

sadi78: are you involved?

tete7000: To call Jonathan administration the most corrupt is to show one's lack of understanding of what has happened under past administrations. Obasanjo and his predecessor tenure were as corrupt as this administration. I think we have to still give this administration some kudos for allowing some transparencies. If it were under obasanjo's or babangida's tenure all the revelations we are having now would have been muscled and swept under the carpet. For a man with power to allow himself be criticised the way Jonathan has done deserves some reccomendation.

oddy4real: you are wrong jor. you and false assumptions. the matter was F.R.N v Bode George. he was tried in a Federal High court.

erniok: I'm of the opinion that if FL is found guilty by the court, the report is grossly flawed and must be discarded ASAP sentiments aside. Did we read read d part where otedola alleged that FL told him that many are paying and getting their names struck off the list.

For those screaming: if zenon was not a beneficiary of the subsidy, why did otedola give bribe. Are youy aware that the recommendations of the report includes refund, blacklisting of the affected coy and prosecution. Who in his right mind wouldn't go to security agents when u will be made to refund a whooping $235m,get ur biz grounded and likely go to jail. Should u contest in a law court after the probe, savanah bank will become ur second name. Otedola made a great decision to involve sss.

FL messed up big time for holding onto the money for 2 months not weeks/days. If he was really honest, he would have reported to security agents immediately not waiting to be ratted out first. Ribadu, even though he was head of the efcc, immediately lodged the money with CBN since he was going to prosecute ibori. He also could have taken it home and pretend all is well but he didn't. Dats y I believe a lot in him as far as anti-corruption is concerned.

edicolove: Or are you trying to prove us right when we say Lagos state judiciary is on Tinubu's payroll?

edicolove: So LASG is now a law court or what? [s]I don't understand how you come up with these kind of statement sometimes. Your ignorance is legendary, honestly![/s]

Chinom: If Farouk Lawam collected $620 from Otedola and STILL indicted him in his report, he DESERVES a statue at Eagle square. That is very unNigerian. I do not doubt him when he says that he reported the bribery by Otedola to the police. The fact that he still indicted Otedola, regardless, is a heroic act in the Nigerian context.
The Govt must carry out the recommendations asap. A very important aspect of the whole investigation is that Otedola OFFERED the bribe.
What Farouk did is what applies in the Western world. He had to collect the money as evidence, otherwise Otedola will deny it later.

correct !!!.

Above all, farouk is claiming he is following the directive of the IGP as stated in the reference letter from the IGP. let the Police speak out to know if this is true or not abi

edicolove: Have you been living on the moon? Haven't you ever heard of guys like Bode George?

yunafa: MAY GOD ALMIGHTY PUNISH THE ENTIRE GENERATION OF ANY BODY WHO IS TRYING TO FRUSTRATE THIS OIL SUBSIDY PROBE, AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ALSO, THEY SHALL BE EXPOSED ONE BY ONE.

edicolove: How can the government take a bold step on a reccomendation that was based on blackmail and corruption. You are funny!

eGuerrilla: @Demdem,

The SSS vs Police angle is an interesting one that has crossed my mind more than once since this saga started.

Is there a chasm of some sort undermining investigative work within our security forces?
I think most observers would agree we have seen some evidence of this in relation to how Boko Haram is being handled.

Just a thought.

ayox2003: Honestly, its a no-brainer that this regime is most corrupt since 1999.
One person- just one has not been jailed.

mart2k: mr man,you have only succeeded in doing one thing which is,exposing to people how dumb you are,if not why should u say that d sss and d police are trying to implicate d two players in d saga.why cant u think twice 4 once 4 god sake

Aniah4u: What surprised me most is First, 'HON' Lawan speaking dis'HON'ourably from both sides of his mouth, denying ever collecting any bribe,then,admitting barely 24hrs later of committing same offence when it became obvious dat d scene was recorded.Secondly, Otedola trying 2 tell us he is not a beneficiary of d subsidy largese.Why would he bribe somebody for an offence he never committed? Besides, who is AP? Well, this is just a tip of the Iceberg as events unfold.

Well, i actually collected it but i didnt collect bribe
