Handsome boy! But wait o, what is the meaning of E-Money? Excess Money? Extra Money? Electronic Money? Evil Money?.................................! Just asking though.

The only thing that can make me believe this story is for whoever snapped those pictures to go inside the rooms and show us images of the corper's loads and belongings. Not posting images of what look like an abandoned building.

This is one of the reasons Nigeria will never move forward! What a pity. But in other clime:

[b]SOUTH AFRICA’S PRESIDENT, JACOB ZUMA REFUNDED $542,000 PUBLIC MONEY SPENT ON LUXURY PERSONAL HOME UPGRADES

South African President Zuma has finally paid back around 500,000 euros ($542,000) of public money spent on refurbishing his private home. The controversy that dominated his second term in office raged on for five years.

South Africa’s highest court had decided earlier in the year that President Jacob Zuma had violated the country’s constitution by defying an order to repay some of the funds used to renovate his traditional homestead in Nkandla.

In March 2016, the Constitutional Court of South Africa had ruled that Zuma had “failed to uphold, defend and respect the constitution as the supreme law of the land” by refusing to hand back the funds.

The controversial upgrades to his private home in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, include a visitors’ center, a swimming pool, and a chicken run among other lavish additions. Zuma had originally claimed security was the purpose of the expenditure.



“President Zuma has paid over the amount […] to the South African Reserve Bank as ordered by the Constitutional Court of South Africa,” the presidency said in a statement, adding that the president had raised the funds through a home loan. The treasury confirmed separately that the payment had been received.

Opposition parties had been using the slogan “pay back the money” to draw attention to the corruption scandal.

‘Secure in Comfort’

The Nkandla scandal became a symbol of corruption within the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party, which has been at the helm of South African politics since the end of apartheid rule. The opposition, led by the Democratic Alliance (DA), attempted on several occasions to have the president impeached on grounds of funneling public funds into his private homestead.

The Office of the Public Protector, which occupies the role of an ombudsman between the public and the government, had determined in a 2014 report entitled “Secure in Comfort” that President Zuma had “unduly benefited” from the upgrade work to his Nkandla home, ordering him to repay a fraction of the cost. The amount determined by Public Protector Thuli Madonsela is just over 3 percent of the total amount of state funds that were spent on the president’s rural home.

Zuma ordered two government investigations to clear his name. One of them was conducted by the government police minister, who concluded that the swimming pool in Nkandla had been installed as a fire-fighting precaution. In the end, the Constitutional Court ruled against the findings of the investigations ordered by Zuma and in favor of Madonsela’s ruling.

The ANC in peril

The scandal had a notable effect on his party politics; the ANC suffered severe losses in South Africa’s local elections in August, garnering a historic low of less than 54 percent of all ballots cast.

Several municipalities fell into the hands of the DA or DA-led coalitions, and there are already talks of the ANC possibly tanking to below having an absolute majority in the 2019 legislative elections.

The opposition DA meanwhile welcomed that Zuma repaid the funds but added in a statement that Zuma ought to provide proof in parliament that he personally paid back the state, stressing that the president had “a history of tapping into his circle of cronies for funds.”

I was having a discussion with a colleague after Supreme court upheld Gov. Yahaya Bello's election. In his view, the ruling must have been influenced by the presidency. This same person is giving kudos to Appeal court for upholding Gov. Dickson' election. To him, it is a fair judgement without influence. Hypocrisy! That is what it is called. The same thing with most people on this platform.

ruggedtimi:
Supreme court again..no chill

Bro, which of the report did you read? Where u see Supreme court? It is clear that some people just rush to comment without reading a line from posted reports.

Could this be true? I smell rat! A trained doctor mistaking kidney for tumour?

110 delegates? Nigerian delegates must be the only ones attending the event because there will definitely be no seats for other delegates!

tabuski:
Today is my birthday. I need iPhone 7 as gift.

HBD! Here is your birthday gift. Don't bother to thank me it is my nature to give.

Story for the gods! We are not fools. How would they finance the trip with their money? Garba should tell that to the birds.

Popping his manjuice on a woman's yansh Dosent sound right to me

Sexual harassment of course!

ajawara:
Have you heard the other side of the story from Dasuki before you concluded that he stolen money

Apc apologists have double face.

Sorry when did I make the conclusion that Dasuki stole money? Dasuki's case is already in court. It is only the court of law that can pronounce him guilty. I find it laughable that you term me APC apologist. For as long as I do not share your view point I am an apologist. Too bad. I am not a politician or supporter of any party for your information.

ajawara:
Calling GEJ a tyrant is an act of wickedness. Check his global assessment, value, political ideology and believe. Please. Stop speaking base on hatred .

I didn't call GEJ a Tyrant. Just trying to make a comparison of the two events. Someone said the present occupant of Aso rock is a Tyrant because of the act of DSS and military, and I am trying to remind the individual that DSS also acted the same way when GEJ was in power. Does that mean GEJ was a Tyrant? If your answer is no, then we shouldn't blame PMB for the act of DSS and military. People should be able to argue without being sentimental.

Bujumbura:
who is this Z that needs to feed

You mean that is what you had as breakfast this morning? It is now evident rice is expensive. What a pity!

Bujumbura:
Start believing please because there is a Tyrant in Aso rock

Hmmmmm! Exactly the same way we had a Tyrant in Aso rock in 2014 when APC Lagos secretariat was invaded, ransacked and database destroyed by DSS. Just thinking aloud!

That is Mr. Garrick's side of the story. Lets wait and hear the other side of the story before drawing conclusion.

I thought PDP supporters said Ali Modu Sheriff is APC agent who is being used to disrupt their party The other day, FFK said Ali Modu Sheriff was "of the devil". Is he now of the angel? I wonder how the likes of FFK will be able to sit in a reconciliatory meeting with Sheriff.

The lady is saying the obvious. Nothing last forever. Whether four or eight years, the man must one day retire.

I have seen such a scene like this before at Anthony Oke, the guy was trying to cross the express and got knocked down. The two legs were gone. He was just seated by the road side crying. It was a terrible scene. May God continue to watch over us and our family. I feel for that boy

Politicians and their dramas! I pray the best candidate wins. Simple!

These guys are just bunch of lazy people! Instead of just observing a minute silence and continue with the business of the day. If NURTW keep declaring days of mourning in honour of drivers that die everyday there will be chaos.

This is the beginning of an end for APC if care is not taken!

VIPERVENOM:
nothing new. aghahowa is still 31

You are fantastically correct!

This report is fake. Where is Ekiti? You mean Ekiti is not on the list? I can't believe it. Even before now, PMS was sold at almost double the official price in Ekiti.

These people will not cease to amuse me. EFCC should defreeze her accounts! Defreeze ko, defroze ni. Shameless people. The accounts that were never opened in her name. She is neither a director or shareholder in those companies going by records. I don't know how the matter take concern the woman sef. This is purely a case of stealing by trick! She definitely wants to use her status to claim what does not belong to her. If she like, make she can go to International Court of Justice, she will not smell that money. Come o! So there is a new acronym called PGJT? Rubbish!

Someone once said "whoever worked with GEJ during his tenure as the President and still remain poor will never be rich in life"

No doubt she must have been having irregular sex with guys that are not so amazing, one of whom is Whiz Kid's director! No be me talk am o, na Whiz kid talk am o.

CandyDiamond:
This man ehh,[/b]you are the dumbest person in the whole world[b], kai,which school did you attend

Your point Mr. Smartest! Counter my statement with sensible point and stop being abusive.

ojialo:
keep deceiving yourself, Goodluck generated 5000magawatts before he left

Going by your statement, Goodluck was able to achieve 5000 megawatts before leaving office (i.e. after spending 5 years 3 months) and PMB is able to achieve 4284 megawatts in 1 years 4 months, then i believe Nigeria will be great again!

Me too!

Nateben:

Who get time to read this long epistle! He is entitled to his own opinion though.

Eeeeyah! Take heart bro. God will open doors of better opportunities

Until this week, I worked with an Environmental Consulting Firm. Things were going on smoothly and all. Nobody ever thought about it until it hit us so hard.

Hey Guys!

You know you are all good and very important to this organization? The boss started. But I am so sorry this is happening...

By this time, the perspiration on my forehead started to role down.

It was on a Monday morning and there was no sign of it coming...

As you all know, continued the boss; the company can no longer afford to pay the salaries of everybody for now. This is as the result of the ongoing economic recession in the country.

Since I can't find fault in any of you, we shall embark on some very rigorous tests and anyone who can not make it through will have to go back home, maybe when things gets back to normal, we can reconsider.

After all the talks, we were arranged into the conference room and served with question papers. In it were questions on organic chemistry, economics, physics, philosophy, politics, geography and calculus.

The pass mark was 80/100%. But in the end, despite the fact that I scored 88% I wasn't selected because, I couldn't attempt the questions on calculus.

But what can I do?
But the bitter this is that, I just got married to wifee few months ago.
