It's because the board at both cowbell and ICAN are dominated by ewedu guzzling ppl

Na d same poo we de see for postgraduate medical exams ooo.

Whenever U hear a Nigerian govt official say 'diversification',it usually means more tax,levies and other burdens on d common man.
Nuff said.

shaddoww:
First of all, It's not compulsory Magu is d EFCC chairman but it is important dat he is, judging by d way d past EFCC chairpersons ended, so dat we can encourage others that hardwork n diligence pays n so dat we can raise others who will like to be like him.

But if I were to answer u logically, I will also ask, why must it b Messi n Ronaldo dat should win d world best? It's simple, yes because they have distinguished themselves among their peers.

U said in a population of about 180million, is he d only one, I will say yes n no because, it's only about 300 thousand in dat population dat are police officers n it's only about 2 thousand or less dat are in d rank of being an EFCC chairman n it's only about 5-7 of dem dat have worked in d EFCC till date, so logically, he should be d one since he has been there from d days of Ribadu n he knows almost all d major cases dey have handled. Or is it only Messi n Ronaldo dat can play football well in d world? But because others are nt even professional footballers, no one will consider them n their colleagues are nt in d same level with dem.

I think above all, d president just needs to put his house in order n re-present him, cos if he presents another person n d same thing happens, den wat will he do?

The act establishing EFCC says a lawyer or a policeman whether serving or retired can be chairman.
That's y Farida Waziri could be made d chairman when she had already retired from the police and that effectively widens d pool of who can be appointed.
I don't believe among all d lawyers,policemen both serving and retired,it's only Magu that can do d job.
The Nigerian police is full of corrupt ppl but I have also met a lot of disciplined,very religious policemen.
U have also dodged d issue of d corrupt acts hanging over his head.That d place he is living in was paid for by a corrupt former govt official.
That he is often seen wt d same man and is often travelling wt d man's private jet.
How can a 'saint' like him afford to pay 1.8m for a 1 way ticket to hajj?
Why must we have such a person in an anti corruption agency?
Are there not other ppl within d same catchment group that do not have a dent on their name?

Businessideas:
DSS is the accuser and the judge at the same time and it delivered it's lopsided report to the hands of Senator Saraki who is being tried by Magu's EFCC and you pretend to be blind to the conspiracy against Magu's.
"Evil can only triumph over good in the interim" Peter Tosh.
Nigeria will defeat all her enemies.

D accusation against Magu is lopsided but d one against Saraki is 'straightsided'?
Can U listen to Urself?
Meanwhile,Saraki is even more honourable among d 2,at least,he is defending himself in court.
D position of EFCC chairman is too sensitive for some1 with plenty skeletons in his cupboard to be d chairman.
That is why d supreme court justices stood down and stopped handling cases immediately they were accused,even though they were not convicted yet,cos of d sensitivity of their position.

muykem:
Yes he must. We don't want any set back to anti-corruption war. Nigeria must be great in my life time in Jesus name.

The fight against corruption has already been set back.
How many convictions of politically exposed persons has Magu secured?
To d best of my knowledge, it's only that of d former deputy governor of Adamawa state James Ngilari.The rest are petty thieves and small small yahoo boys.
Let me tell U a common trick ppl in govt use.Magu of EFCC will arrest a high profile public official or politician,leak d info to d press,send a junior clerk to file d case in court,and that is d end.10 yrs later,d case has not been concluded due to lackadaisical prosecution by d EFCC.If U think I'm lying,ask Urself,among d governors who handed over in 2007 who have cases in court,how many have had their cases concluded.To d best of my knowledge,its only Chimaroke of Enugu,Igbinedion who was let go wt a slap on d wrist,and Jolly Nyame of Taraba and note that these were done b4 Magu's tenure.D rest are still pending.
Another trick they use is giving out contracts,announcing d commissioning on d news and after that,that's d end.They will not vote money for d project.
Yet another,Fulani herdsmen will kill hundreds, govt officials will talk tough,institute a commission of enquiry,ppl like U will be happy and relax.But that's d end of d matter.Until d herdsmen strike again.
If U listen carefully, lawyers have been accusing Magu of media trial and sensationalism.That's exactly d only thing he's good at.

Businessideas:
The right question is "Does Magu as a Nigerian not have right to fair hearing and right to occupy an office he is competently qualified for?".
All these games you are playing won't solve our problem. The attack on Magu is corruption fighting back

Corruption fighting back,bla bla bla bla.
Jonathan is still looting d federal allocation since may 2015 till today,that's why Buhari cannot perform, bla bla bla.
As usual,U have chosen to dodge d main question.Is Magu involved in some questionable dealings or not?
Has he absolved himself of those accusations?
Is a character like him d best to head a supposed corruption fighting agency?

Following d 2nd rejection of the acting EFFC chairman by the Nigerian senate,I have listened with utter dismay,d various arguments put forward by some protagonists of his continued stay.
Some say d senators are corrupt and shouldn't have have d locus to judge another corrupt person.
Worst of all is d presidential advisory committee led by a supposed learned man,Itsay Sagay,who said Magu can act forever.
Some say Magu is courageous and is really needed in d corruption fight.
While d above narratives are going back and forth,most of these protagonists are tending to force others to overlook d meat of the matter.
Magu is accused of several corrupt acts and hobnobbing with corrupt ppl and these allegations have not been disproved.
PLS,MUST MAGU BE EFCC CHAIRMAN?
As per his courage etc,how many convictions has he secured?
Why is his courage not extending to Amaechi,Abba Kyari,Dambazzau,Buratai?
Will U be comfortable having a man who has been accused of rape severally being made a live-in hostel master in Ur daughter's boarding school?
So,out of 180 million Nigerians, no other 'courageous' man can be found?
I just tire for this country,walahi.

Chiefpriest1:
Honestly, Magu is a courageous man. I wouldn't even go close to that his job.

And to think that the billions he's recovering do not belong to him, but to Nigeria.

We need to encourage this man, not crucify him. Merely reading the DSS report will show plenty bad belle. He has offended some people there.

This is just showmanship.
How many convictions has he secured?

Cutehector:
It's always a do or die affair in all elections.. I still won't go out to vote

Do U know that if U don't vote,U do not have d right to complain abt any policy of d govt?
Do U also know that voting is part of Ur civic responsibilities,just like paying tax?

okosodo:
Forget about the messanger! Na truth him talk. The nigerian media has a way of making nigerians forget what damage this man did and they focus only on jonathan

Nigeria media is more dangerous than boko haram.
I remember during d Rivers state house of assembly fracas where they all had videos of Chidi Lloyd attempting to murder his colleague,yet they chose to hide that one and were instead showing us d same Lloyd in govt house clinic bed wt no plaster,no bandage,not even a drip on him and attempting to make him look like the victim.
It was only when the cell phone videos of d assembly surfaced that they decided to air d videos they all had.
Fear Lagos-Ibadan amala and ewedu press.

I can see that you are pained, and I dont give a fu!ck about your feelings,
Let the illiterate almajiris fight for their right,
All I know is me, my family and friends.

Typical abokki.
All U know is Ur family ba?
U are not ashamed to say that in public?
U have once again confirmed d notion that abokki has a below average IQ including d educated ones.
That is how U and Ur northern elite ruined this country thinking about only U and Ur family.
Bye bye

farouk0403:
Why didn't you complained to OBJ and GEJ? were they not the that appointed Northerners into that position.
The North have upper hand in terms of federal appointment, go and take a pill for your headache.

Let Ur illiterate herdsmen president reciprocate d maturity of GEJ and Obj and appoint southerners.
The north has always had upper hand in appointments,what have u to show for it?
Illiteracy,poverty,polio and other diseases,suicide bombing,drug abuse.

farouk0403:
I said "some" not all.

I guess 'some' honest ppl cannot be found in d whole of the south.
When U come to a public forum like this,always remember U are not talking to Ur illiterate almajiris who U can twist their minds easily.

farouk0403:
Ok let me answer you, Yes some Northerners are less corrupt compared to their southern counterparts,

The presidency need to choose a reliable candidate that he can trust any day any time, so they have too choose wisely.

Notherners are the top ranking officers on that field.

If the northerners are less corrupt than d southerners, why is d north still far undeveloped by every index than d south?
Stop peddling that worn out lie.

Abeg IBB come and sack d dulllard d 2nd time.
I take God beg U

Let them also issue another one for d certificateless,recession sharing,terrorist stockfish in Aso rock.
Nonsense and ingredient.

Ttrrffyyghuuh:
I read that story but i didn't see a case of rape there, he tried to "sweet-talk" you into getting your panties down, rape is "forced" its a strong word, and i believe as an adult she should know how and when to use it. But seeing its a clergyman his actions are still condemn-able

Been a Catholic I would naturally be annoyed and on the defensive when such allegations are put forward .

On one hand, let truth be told, it wouldn't be fair to vilify the victims especially if their allegations are true , rather all our indignation should be directed towards those who would pull the Catholic and Christian faith as a whole .to the mud.

I can only sympathize with the victims..

On the other hand lets not be quick to dispense judgment, yes they are men of God but they are as human as any of us, priests especially .



Most of us cannot do without sex for a month, male or female, some a year, these men go a lifetime, for God's sake not for money..many of these priests are assigned to remote villages to evangelize, turns out it's the villagers who solicit help from them when there's barely enough for them to feed, they have to go and beg from the bigger parishes for their poorer parishioners, (we see them all the time)

Jesuit priests work and earn money
Same with opus dei priests and numeraries..so unlike many others denominations catholic priests aren't after money.. their work and sacrifices over the centuries has spoken for them both the priests and especially the nuns who have taken care of the sick and poor for ages past till present. (foster homes, hospitals and schools for poor and disabled, free catholic attorneys to take up cases for the oppressed (jdpc) and some many others....... her works speak for her)

Their motive is pure, but they falter and we pray for them. It's not easy

My only consolation is the fact that mother church has stood for 2000yrs and would stand for thousands more.

It's older than the ancestors of our ancestors and will see the unborn generations of our unborn generations. Because Its built on Christ directly, the blood of the martyrs and sacrifices of saints. No be today scandal start to rock am, no be tomorrow e go stop but e go still strong.no be roadside Pentecostal church, e old pass Islam sef, 600 years older, no be your mate.

Again I truly sympathize with the victims and pray they get through their trauma and strongly condemn any such lascivious or wanton lifestyle of clergymen, especially in this period of lent

There are tens of thousands of catholic priests and clergy rendering selfless services all over d world,but anytime 1 of these ppl falter and display d 'humanness' in them,it becomes something to gloat about and taunt d whole church wt.
A terrible pity.

Where are the iPod miscreants....Hausa/Fulani have taken over Biafra meanwhile they are over here hating on Yorubas who don't give a toss about them....

I am from Ebonyi, d Abakaliki part of Ebonyi for that matter.
I know that area where d man is contesting for a seat,it's in Abakpa,opposite d main market popularly called Ogbe hausa ie,hausa quarters.
I have many of them,hausa boys and girls that were born in that town,Nura Ali,Ibrahim Hamajoda,Sani them,etc.These were childhood classmates and playmates.
But d truth is that,NO HAUSA MAN CAN WAKE UP AND CAUSE TROUBLE IN ABAKALIKI AND THEN STAND TO FIGHT.
Mbanu.
Impossible.

wen obanikoro was made minister of defence nko

Ministry of defence is supervisory ministry,not an armed bearing force oga.

The apparent disrespect this man has been showing d senate is what they deserve.
Were they sleeping when he was confirmed to head d customs in d 1st place?
Can an outsider be appointed to head d army?

Yet 4 of his children were schooling in expensive schools in the UK even b4 he became president.
Nansense and ingredient.

BolaAdeyemo:
@bold,not true,i am in Enugu currently,stayed for 3 month

And i can dare say there is no region as orderly and fun like the south east

Sorry to say this but it looks like d south westerners are d least travelled in d whole Nigeria.
They can't help but display d ignorance that follows that both online and offline.

momentarylapse:
He and his pdp quacks would have looted niger state do death just like his dad and their oga ibb and co did to naija! Niger state dodged a bullet there!

This present governor is also d son of a member of d IBB looting cabal.I think his father is Colonel Sani Bello,a prominent member of d military looting squad.
Na dem dem bro,it's not a PDP or APC thing.

Buhari comes to mind.

Is there a greater evidence that we're not one and can never be never be one?
What are they celebrating? Maybe recession.
