Glo is badoo

He doesn't have a a pair of black snickers now. By the way, if Bill Gates wore this combination, it would be called fashion.

War??
I don't see anyone fighting. Just empty WORDS I hear.

Nigeria has LOOTERS, MURDERERS and DESTRUCTIVE elements in charge of her executive, legislative and judicial arms of government. Moreover, their loot is never enough for them. They don't even have an accurate idea how much loot they have in their accounts, underground bunkers, cemeteries, graves, metallic vaults, soak-away pits, over-head tanks, un-occupied buildings, hidden safes, etc.

Our so called leaders can be classed as blood sucking demons feasting on the soul of Nigeria. This nation is on the path of doom and in the direction of disintegration if Nigerians continue to fold their hands and look stupid while these looters continue to sabotage our means of survival.

- Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, the fiery archbishop of the Catholic Church, warned Nigerians not to continue to fold their arms

- Okogie listed the many problems in Nigeria and wondered why some would have fleets of private jets while others cannot feed

Nigeria is a country without leaders, Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, a former archbishop of the Lagos diocese of the Catholic Church, has declared.

NAIJ.com learnt that Okogie said this in a lengthy article titled: ‘A nation without leaders’, in reaction to the state of the nation.

Okogie also compared the lives of the poor with those living in opulence in the country to reach the conclusion.

“Gracious God, grant that our leaders become wise, and the wise become our leaders.

“But it would be irresponsible fideism to simply pray and fold our arms. Those who pray must think, and, having sought and obtained answers to right questions, they must act intelligently,” Vanguard reported the 81-year-old as saying.

“It has become inescapable to inquire: what is the quality of leaders - of the men and women at the helm of affairs - in our beloved Nigeria?

“Can it be said that those at the helm of affairs - at federal, state, and local levels of government - are sufficiently competent to navigate the ship of state? Do our leaders fit the bill?”

“Insecurity in our land; the abysmally low quality of life of the average Nigerian, in scandalously sharp contrast with the opulence in which past and political office holders live; the self-serving and malevolent demagoguery that accompanies unitarist, secessionist, and xenophobic agitations in our country; the propagation of the stubborn myth that one’s ethnic community is marginalized by all other ethnic communities, when in fact every ethnic community is marginalized by the incompetence of our leaders; the acceptance of this myth by young, discontented but gullible Nigerians: these and many other indices offer little or no hope to even the most incurable optimist in the land.

“Instead of devoting their mental and physical capacities to governance, our leaders are seeking their own interests. Nigerians bear the excruciating burden of being ruled by politicians who simply care less about Nigerians.

“The burden is increased when they have to listen to religious leaders who whip up emotions and deceive by using the name of God, claiming visions and miracles.

“We do not care about our legacy, we care only about the power we wield, the wealth - often ill-gotten - we display, and above all, the pleasure and affluence we seek,” Cardinal Okogie declared.

The Catholic clergy wondered why Nigeria had individuals who own a fleet of private jets while an overwhelming percentage of its citizens cannot afford a bus ride to the market.

He asked further: “What do we make of a country where the wealth of the land, wealth that belongs to the people and not to government, is used to provide security for government officials, while there is no security for the average man or woman in the street?

“We have the police and the military; we have assorted security agencies with exotic names.

“Yet, Nigerians are robbed and murdered in their homes, abducted on the streets, at the mercy of gangsters, ritualists and cultists in their neighbourhood, while the police are helpless to the point of non-existence.

“The only sign that there is policing is when policemen and women extort money from Nigerians, often at gun point.

“Our security agencies need to get the sequence of their steps right. Thorough investigation must precede an arrest; diligent prosecution with evidence must come before conviction in a lawfully constituted court. That is what obtains in other climes. But in our own Nigeria, media trial is fashionable.

“Suspects are paraded on prime-time television, guns and bullets are displayed in front of them, the police spokesman presents them to Nigerians and pronounces them guilty in front of television cameras. Case closed.

“Nigerians are not asking for any follow-up. They hear of no trial, no conviction, no sentencing. What has happened to numerous suspects paraded on television in this country?

“While we seek answers, to these questions, we note that, from time to time, Amnesty International raises alarm about extra-judicial killings in Nigeria.

“Are Nigerians satisfied with the response of the police? Why is it that once suspects are paraded and presented as guilty - and the legal and moral propriety of the parade is another bone of contention - we very rarely see them in court?

“Is there no law that says a suspect must be charged to court within 48 hours? Why then are suspects kept for days and weeks and months without trial?

“It is in the same vein that we must ask: what has happened to so many public office holders pronounced guilty by the EFCC and DSS in the media before they were even charged to court?

“We know that some of them were set free by the law courts. We also know that government reacts with a familiar refrain: ‘corruption is fighting back’.”

NAIJ.com reported earlier that the Northern Youth Leaders Forum (NYLF) recently called for the presidency to remain in their region ahead of the 2019 general elections.

Rising from its meeting in Yola, Adamawa state on Saturday, June 17, the group comprising the National Executive Committee of NYLF, the state chairmen and the chairmen and secretaries of the 42 affiliated Northern Organizations, were unequivocal in their demand for a northern presidency come 2019.

Addressing the press after the meeting, the chairman of NYLF, Comrade Elliot Afiyo, stated that the North will not allow the presidency move to the South in 2019.

Macaroni is partly right. The truth is hard to accept.

NDDC top management accused of N14 billion money laundering (documents)


- Allegations of corruption is currently rocking the the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)

- The case has to do with alleged contract racketeering totaling N14 billion

- Three top management members of the commission have been fingered in the deal

A report by Daily Post has indicted three top management members of the NDDC, for allegedly getting involved in a contract racketeering said to be worth N14 billion naira in projects.

According to the report, the contracts are projects to be carried out by the NDDC in Ondo state.

The accusation is said to have been instigated by the oil producing areas in the state, under the aegis of Oil Producing Communities of Ondo state (OPCOOS).A document showing the discrepancies in the contracts awarded. Photo credit: Daily Post

They accused the three top management staff of the commission of having already sold out the 47 projects to the detriment and interest of the oil producing areas and people of Ondo state.

They went further to write a petition to Acting President Yemi Osinbajo where they mentioned the trio of Mr Nsima Ekere, managing director; Mr Mene Derek, executive director finance /administration and Mr Adjogbe Samuel, executive director project.

The trio were accused of intentionally marginalizing Ondo state and nepotistic in their management of affairs of NDDC as it relates to Ondo state.

The petition was signed by the chairman of OPCOOS, Chief Eniyansoro Obazuaye; secretary, Comrade Babatunde Wisdom Omojubi; public relations officer, Adesoji Aladetan; and organising secretary, Comrade Adekunle Orisamuluwa.

The petition reads: “The three top management members of the NDDC, namely, the managing director, executive director (finance and administration) and the executive director (projects) have shown by their conducts and official behaviors that they are not fair minded political office holders

“The NDDC did two publications in April and May 2017 respectively, inviting the public to tender for projects. Ondo state has a total of 47 projects that were advertised.

“We report with sadness that these officers refused to give tender bids to people from the Ilaje oil producing areas as well as indegenes of Ondo state who sought to tender for the project. We say very emphatically that these projects were hidden away from the public.

“They were kept with the procurement officers of the NDDC, who on the instruction of the Managing director, gave them out to their cronies and allies or they were manipulated by the office of the Executive Director, projects to the interest of his clan’s men from Urhobo and Itsoko in Delta state.

“All our people (From Ondo state) who paid N50, 000.00 tender fee in favor of the NDDC were turned back from Port-harcourt because the tenders are either locked up in the office of the MD or the EDP. No one has access to them.”

The NDDC officials were accused of running foul of the present administration's stance on corruption by the OPCOOS officials.

OPCOOS is also alleging that security agencies have been bribed with some of the projects belonging to Ondo state so as not to investigate the NDDC three officials.

“We know as a fact, that these security agencies are being placated with Ondo state projects so as not to investigate the dastardly act of these men,” the petition reads in part.

They called on the acting president to as a matter of urgency, set machinery in motion to investigate the allegations they have raised against the three NDDC officials.
List of those of signed the letter and those it was addressed to

The Senate president, Speaker House of Representatives, Ondo state governor and the Department of State Services, among others were copied in the petition.

Meanwhile, a statement sent to NAIJ.com by a group called Concerned Niger Deltans have said recent accusations against Ekere were totally false.

“We have worked closely with Nsima for few years now and we can say he is a good person, determined, focused and success oriented. We don’t know why they wrote what they wrote but we can beat our chest to say that Nsima is not a corrupt person.

“Needless to say he must have effected a new principle that is fighting corruption in the organization hence they want him removed whereas Nsima is the change NDDC requires at the moment,” the statement said.

Look at how ill-equipped our hospital is. It looks more like a school hostel with hospital beds.




and how on earth did you guys come to the conclusion that the players ate from mama put?

Will those that feed on Mr Biggs be in a Hospital where there is no electricity? It's only mama-put customers that can be found here.

This is painful. It's scary. It's humiliating to the rich. The water looks muddy and dirty. We feel your loss.

Chai, mama-put has spoilt the career of these players ooooo. Oh my goodness. I can imagine the rapid running stomachs plus the explosive volcanic eruptions going on at the level of the anus of these players. May God help them survive this attack oooo.

Has it come to this?

Happy birthday to the celebrant IamKashyBaby and to others celebrating in July.

Anfieldboss:
If we are to go by last year NDDC will paste the scores of everybody who partook in the test after the test is concluded, so let's wait.

Was it pasted on their website or at their head office in PH?
