Yep, we shall see.

I think the attempts by the current administration to look into various cases of alleged corruption/looting of our common patrimony and the consequent waste of human lives and means, will take different forms and paths, depending on their nature, and where, how, and by who.

Each and every one of these cases will be important to explore, but will of course happen at different timelines and move at different paces going forward. So, people should be realistic as to how soon the different milestones are achieved.

Hmm. See what I just wrote elsewhere... (actually, just recently, and above)...

Short of a bloody coup to remove Buhari from power, I don't see any other thing shaking him, because the man is simply headstrong - in a good way, and for a good cause, I hasten to add. And in the event of a bloody coup or something like that happening in the current world we live in, no one can be certain as to where they will end up themselves. Besides, the real henchmen of/with/behind Buhari are themselves just beginning to experience and enjoy what being in power is like, so they won't just stand by, and not meet force or other diabolical means with even more force and diabolical means!

My advice to the fabled "old men involved"... Sheathe your swords...learn to accept the new realities you can no longer change...give up as much you can without bloodshed...avoid having to go to prison in your dying years if you can... and ride quietly into the sunset - even if eventually having to be disgraced on account of your atrocities against your own society while your going was good, and you now having been called into account.

That's my honest two kobo.

You take things one after the other, Buhari stop diverting our mind from the present economic situation with your media probe crap. Seems that of Dasuki is fading away now they come up with Halliburton scandal to divert the mind of the gullible from thier incapability to move Nigeria foward.
Are you not capable of independent thought? Why blame the government for what you chose to read yourself? If you're fixated by the stories on corruption, you're strictly on your own. And guess what? The stories on corruption will continue to appear, because they sell news, newspapers and on social media!

BTW, there are countless other news items in the media - including those on the economy, infrastructure, etc - that most sane minds are reading. So, what you chose to read is entirely your own affair.

Mutuwa:
STOLEN!!!

Did you notice that ALL of those who have been named as having shared in the blood money by Dasuki are Muslims, Christians and even atheists? Do you realise that ALL of them are Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, Fulani and all of the hundreds of ethnic nationalities making up Nigeria? Have you asked yourself why you didn't hear any shout of marginalization or oppression when the money was being shared by Mr Donatus Dasuki?

Let me break it down for you. In that secret place where they make a feast of our commonwealth, nobody is Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw or whatever. There's no Christian, Muslim or traditionalist when illicit money is to be preyed upon. No tribe or religion, they belong to one family: the political class and their interests transcends tribe, ethnicity or religion. Money is their paradise and their belly is the only god they worship.

So, next time any of these idiots come screaming that your tribe is being marginalized or that someone is trying to wipe out your religion, tell him to go to hell and enjoy his journey to there. If you agree with him and allow them to turn your destiny to a Ludo game, then Sorry is your middle name and you suffer from a terminal disease called 'Congenital Stupidity'. It has no cure and the symptoms don't show very early. Once you're afflicted with CS, the end result is to die in ignorance while defending the idiots who turned you into a whimpering MUMU. Accept my sympathy.

HEAR JONATHAN AND HIS 40 THIEVES
1- I acted based on Jonathan instruction- Dasuki
2- I didn't give order- Jonathan
3- I collected 350M from Dasuki for consultation-Iyorchia Ayu
4- I only collected $30,000 from Dasuki not N100m- Bode George
5-I got N4.6b from Dasuki for spiritual purposes- Bafarawa
6-I got N650M from Dasuki for my Abuja burnt office-Thisday Obaigbena.
7-I got N2.1b from Dasuki for publicity-Dokpesi
8- I got another N100m from Yuguda he didn't tell me from where- Bafarawa
9- I gave N100m each to Odili, Jim Nwobodo Bode George and others- Yuguda
10- The president asked me to change N10B to foreign currency for PDP delegates- Dasuki
11-My boss asked me to get $11M from the CBN- Dasuki account officer.
12-I got order from above to pay Tompolo N13B for Maritime university land.-Nimasa DG.

Please let us never again allow anyone to use religion or tribe to try to divide us! God bless Nigeria.

Actually, the government - as well as most other people - are already focused on governance as a whole. Some people are simply exclusively obsessed with this issue of corruption, which is being taken care of by only a small arm of the government. The issue is also fuelled by the media, partly because such stories always sell.

The other, numerous ministers, ministries, and parastatals of the executive arm of the government are working on their own various agenda. Hopefully, those ones will also bear positive fruits, and generate - as desert - news that sell too! smiley

Politics › Re: Dasukigate: Olu Falae Lied; We Never Got Any Money- Ogun SDP by duwdu:
Everfrank:
The Ogun State Chapter of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, has dissociated itself from the N100 million allegedly collected ‎by its national leader, Olu Falae.
The Ogun SDP said contrary to Mr. Falae’s claims of distributing the money to state chapters of the party, it did not get any money from him.
Mr. Falae, the National Chairman of the SDP, admitted receiving N100 million from the ex-chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples democratic Party, PDP, Tony Anenih.
The money is believed by federal investigators to be part of the $2.1 billion arms fund allegedly misappropriated by Sambo Dasuki, the former National Security Adviser.
Mr. Falae, a former Nigerian Finance Minister, told PREMIUM TIMES that the money was for him and his party to support the ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid last March.
“It is true I received the money for the party and then it was distributed to the state branches of the party for onward distribution to other levels of the party,” he said.
However, the Ogun SDP in a statement jointly signed by its Chairman, Olu Agemo, and Secretary, Clement Adeniyi, said it was not a party to the deal with the PDP or the distribution of the funds.
The chapter said it was never notified of nor involved in any negotiation to partner with the PDP or any other party for the purpose of winning the March elections or maintaining peace during the period as claimed by Mr. Falae.
The statement added that the chapter was never informed by the national secretariat of the decision to adopt former President Goodluck Jonathan or any other candidate as the party’s presidential candidate.
It added that it was never informed of any donation of funds to the party by the PDP or any other party and that it did not receive any financial or campaign assistance from the national secretariat of the party or any of its principal officers.
The Ogun SDP said it declared its sources of campaign finance in the Guardian, Vanguard, Punch and Tribune Newspapers of April 20, before the current revelation.
“We plead with our members and supporters who have received these untoward revelation with great shock to remain calm and await the convocation of a general meeting where these issues shall be thoroughly discussed and appropriate decisions taken,” the statement said.
“We assure you that the SDP in Ogun will continue to operate within ethical and moral norms as laid out in the principles of progressive welfarism established by our progenitor, Obafemi Awolowo, in the struggle to establish an egalitarian, peaceful and equitable nation.”
Mr. Dasuki and several other former political leaders and their relatives are currently being prosecuted for the $2.1 billion arms scandal now known as Dasukigate. Several others, like Messrs. Falae and Anenih, as well as the PDP spokesperson, Olisa Metuh, are also being investigated for their alleged roles in the scam.
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/196513-dasukigate-olu-falae-lied-we-never-got-any-money-ogun-sdp.html
On the strength of these revelations, may "Baba" Olu Falae's end be in taters and total disgrace. Amen. You don't, even at an old age, unjustifiably drag the name of your hardworking and innocent race into your disrepute - even as the race never loved you - and expect your end to be well.

@OP, no disrespect, but please change the word "got" in your title of this thread to "get". It's bad grammar to say "... didn't got..." The correct thing is, "... didn't get..."

Good luck.

Politics › Re: Anti-Igbo Comments, Sagay Alleges Threat To Life, Raises Alarm. by duwdu: 7:49pm On Jan 09, 2016
sunnyb0b0:
Constitutional lawyer and Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Anti- Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN) has raised alarm over what he called the insults and death threats he has received from Igbo people for expressing his opinion on the renewed agitation for Biafra republic during President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.

Speaking with Daily Independent on Saturday, the erudite legal practitioner said rather than threatening him and the peace of the entire country, those who have contrary views to his should engage him in a debate and present their views in a civilised and refined manner.

Sagay, who said he stood by his comments that the the Igbo having lost out at the federal level decided to resurrect Biafra so as to get appointments they don’t deserve under Buhari  also added that he will not take the threats lightly because according to him “they have serious security implications”.

“All I did was expressed my views on a national issue. If they have contrary views, they should come forward with it instead of using abusive words particularly threatening people’s lives. Infact, they are not only threatening me but the entire country that we shall see what happens whenever they start whatever they are planning”.

” It is a very irrational process and environment in which to operate. I thought we were engaging in a debate”.

“Little did I know I was dealing with desperadoes who will not tolerate any other views that are not consistent with theirs in their headlong determination to cause confusion in the country. It is very sad”.

“I won’t take the threats lightly because most of the things said to me has serious security implications and I will do something about it” he said.


http://dailyindependentnig.com/2016/01/sagay-alleges-threats-life-comment-biafra/
If by "...and I will do something about it," you mean that you'll provide all evidences to, and alert the relevant agencies of Government for them to asses and drop or further pursue the situation as they will deem necessary, then that will be the right and proper thing to do, Professor.

Came across this on Facebook

***

Enugu State. My state. My home. Igboland. My fatherland. It was Peter Obi who buried APC in Igboland when he claimed that Fashola deported Igbos. He went on air, sensationalized it. Good job. Igbo youths lapped on it. Jonathan and PDP were all smiles and Obi was hailed for a job well done. He quickly joined the party on leaving office as was planned out. APGA, the alleged Igbo party was dumped and left to crumble. Ojukwu had died. The new Igbo party was PDP. The plan was going well. Jonathan would win election and our brothers would continue chopping on our behalf.

The Grand plan was for 2017. Oil blocks allocations would expire in 2017 and there would be fresh allocations. Boys were positioning themselves for the greatest cake. Dasuki released 500M to Jim for igbo elders. They did a perfect job. In churches Buhari was branded antichrist and antichristians whose ambitions were to islamize the east and persecute Christians. Prayer points were raised and brethren fasted against his emergence . Jonathan was sent by God and only his emergence would save the church. Brethren spoke in tongue and prophesied. Anyone who ever prophesied anything contrary to Jonathan winning was branded antichrist and anti Igbo. Jonathan was igbo, our brother. Ndi Hausa hate us so much. Buhari wrote Ohaneze severally to pay them a visit. No one as much as acknowledged his letter not to talk of inviting him. What's the point? Our son is running and he's gonna win anyways. APC was outcast and taboo in the land. At the election the elders dutifully allocated 500,000 votes to Jonathan, maybe at 1000naira per vote. And 15,000 votes to Buhari. This was igbo project remember. By 2017 igbo sons would own oil blocks on our behalf.

All seemed to be going well. Except that men without ears didn't think that God had the final say. Suddenly, like the great titanic, everything went wrong! Our brother didn't win after all! Wow. What next? They started shouting persecution. Ana emegbu ndi igbo. Can't y'all see his appointment? I told you! We need Biafra! We never really wanted Nigeria. We only managed to take part in the election. We want Biafra! Our brothers in the niger delter will join us and we will get Biafra. Let's just own all the oil blocks at once. Again things didn't go as expected. Wike first threw the first stone. He warned against any Biafra rubbish. One after the other, our so called brothers, denied us again. They ain't part of any Biafra business. Wow. I thought we fought for this people? We gave Jonathan our all. We actually threw away igbo ambitions for these people? Wow. This is happening again. They did it in old Biafra. Now again. Na wao. What next? And buhari is arresting people up and down. Nwobodo has been named. Who next? Uche Ekwunife has been sacked at the court. Na wao. Wahala de o. Uche, with the endorsement of Peter Obi, that same Peter has finally joined that same APC, the anti Igbo Islamic party. She has to go back to Senate. Tony Nwoye is set to join. But that's not the main gist. Our father, Senator Jim Nwobo, first executive governor of old Anambra state, the godfather of enugu state, founding member and the biggest chieftain of PDP, a member of the yam eating Dasuki committee of eminent Nigerians, yesterday, in company of another former enugu Senator, walked into stakeholders meeting of the APC in Enugu and declared loyalty. He has joined the "Islamic" party.

Finally. Who's the fool here? Igbo youths! Y'all put your businesses on the line. You were ready to go to war in lagos. You risked your families and livelihood for these men. They lied to you and you believed them. They now use you the way northern elders use their youths. They call you out at will and endanger your lives. They tell you it's because of the igbo. Did they do our roads? Nope. Did they provide infrastructure? Did they create more jobs to employ our teeming qualified graduates? Did they improve our schools? They did nothing. They don't have our interests at heart. It's always all about their pockets. As old as elder Jim is, he still decamps up and down. Men without ears, men without shame. Yet we defend them. We protect them with our lives. Why brothers, why. See the western youths calling out almighty Olu Falae. See the northern youths calling out the princely Dasuki. But we? No way! These men are eating on our behalf, we must attack anyone who calls their name. In fact, we shall adopt any other accused person as ours and defend him no matter how he insulted the igbo in the past. FFK is now our son. Who done this to us? Are we cursed or are we the cause?

I repeat, the real enemies of Igboland are our political leaders at present. Let us sack the enemies at home. We igbos are blessed with intellectuals, why do we let charlatans lead us? 2019 is around the corner. Now is the time to start. My name is mcginger ibeneme, I just wanna bare my mind.-Mcginger Ibeneme



https://www.facebook.com/chike.okonkwo.16/posts/10153940490449416
Hmm, na wah. This is all true. But, what can one say? Unfortunately, the situation is NOT likely to change anytime soon, given the antecedents and history underlying the whole thing. Or no?

However, here's a genuine wish to The Almighty God for our brethren of the states in the South East to find political salvation in the best and quickest way possible - and sustainable. It shall be to the advantage of the nation as a whole, just as other forms of societal instabilities in other regions also end up having a bearing on the well being of the East.

If you have any credence to self-respect, you will point to just one credible link to a US government agency where Tinubu was ever/is listed as indicted or a convict.

There're several US agencies that keep public records on convicts, even online, yet you won't be able to find any on Tinubu, because it simply doesn't exist. Show us just one, and I promise to produce a response from an arm of the US government that will show it as fake or a forgery.

I won't have had any problem with it if it was a spontaneous reaction by patriotic Nigerians. I don't even think that the #istandwithbuhari hashtag can distract President Buhari (I think that the President would be the first person to admit that there's a lot of work to be done), but I have serious misgivings about this campaign.

When you see that a website has been created, tshirts have been made, etc, then I can't help feeling that the usual suspects are involved. There are people who will launch any type of campaign for any type of person if they believe that they can make some money, become famous, or make contact with people in government through their campaign. These people have no morals and are extremely dangerous and I can't help feeling that they are behind the #istandwithbuhari campaign.

Find out as much as you can about a character called Yomi Tokoya if you want to understand the mindset of the kind of people I am talking about.

We should be careful not to create an all is well impression to this administration, our job is to put them on their toes, we should not tolerate mistakes, incompetence or outright impunity (the presidential BMWs).

Are we going back to the days of TAN ambassadors, Fresh air crew, bringbackourgej or the 9 million March for Abacha.

We appreciate the good work the government is doing but going on a march is pure sycophancy.

IT 2016 NIGERIANS, RECEIVE SENSE.
I can see where you're coming from, Obiagelli, and sycophancy should not be encouraged in any way; however, as others have partially pointed out, these t-shirt like campaigns you're pointing to, are actually reactions to vicious propaganda - justified or not - against Buhari and his government, even while the government was yet to take root. For as long as these t-shirt campaigns remain proper counters and don't turn into mindless, unprovoked street protests, I think they serve the purpose to keep the opposition from just taking over and wining especially the media/social media war...

Take for instance, an online petition that was started during the later part of last December by a lady, calling for signatures in support of the resignation and impeachment of Buhari. That online petition was eventually countered by another one, a few days later at the beginning of this month, by a man calling for support for the President. As it turned out, this one calling for support for Buhari became even more popular and ardent, and quickly garnered much more signatures compared to the earlier one that called for the resignation of the President. I remember making a post at the end of that dog fight, stating that the moral of the story is that may be people should not always start what they cannot finish.

Above all, and IMHO, I think the President has demonstrated enough resolve to be NOT swayed by sycophancy or pressure. A case in point being the way he insisted - and largely followed his resolve - not to be dictated to by, say, state governors, regarding who he would appoint to work with him in his cabinet. So, I won't get worried.

In summary, I agree with you that, NO, we should not encourage or allow mere sycophancy to derail the true intentions of the Federal Government. At the same time, the media war/turf should not be abandoned to the opposition, particularly now that it is the main turf the opposition has to with which to fight - and we can be rest assured it would be used for full effect. A wounded lion, they say, is an angry one.

Hopefully, adequate checks and balances are always put in place by government to keep both sides of the media war in check.

Social Democratic Party denounce Olu Falae as officials claim he did not 'deliver ‪#‎DasukiGate‬ N100M to party for supporting Goodluck Jonathan
Dan Nwanyanwu of Labour Party and Rashidi Ladoja of Accord Party are alleged to have also received N100M respectively.
Senior Official of SDP, who was also the National Publicity Secretary Abdul Isia claimed Olu Falae only announced a donation of N5Million from an undisclosed PDP Chieftain. Isia stated that Fale's admission of a receiving N100M from PDP came as a 'rude shock'

See real gbege...

Olu Falae may end up having to give up his pension, sell all his possessions - including his so called farm, and all his trucks, to be able to fork out that N100 Million blood money he took; either by crook or hook.

The man never previously came across such an amount of money before for sure, having previously been a civil servant during the time mindless looting of our patrimony was yet to be the order of the day, so there's no way he could have been able to save this N100 million he has admitted he got.

More so now that his so called SDP has essentially confirmed the money was paid into Olu Falae's private account somewhere.

Thanking you, Karma, for catching this old man who was trying to take down with him a whole race!
