PDP will raise again like an erected d.i.c.k

some get erected but still impotent

A snake shedding its skin doesn't change the fact that it's still harmful and poisonous

As long as it's from the same PDP they can never Be trusted.

Alot had been said about PMB's 100 days promises, but here is a short clip of what he actually told the world when asked what would happen in his first 100days in office.

Almost all politicians are guilty of this, we all knew how GEJ also distributed funds to the Obas and also gave appointments to Militants while Graduates die in the immigration scam. They all care about their pockets but some blind fellows argue blindly in hunger.... Only very few politicians have the masses on their minds.

francizy:
Maybe beremx can help explain how backard, stewpid and senseless her sugar daddy is. Okorocha is now by far the worst governor (alongside Mbadinuju, Suswarm, Aregbese, etc.) Nigeria has ever seen.

Well, the people of Imo state brought this plague upon themselves and they should enjoy it while it lasts.

You talk like an illiterate

truefact:
Then minus 4 years from 1967 till date, besides jona just followed you lots laid down...dunce every where

They only care about their pockets... Imagine how many people on the streets of imo state are living hungry and in abject poverty but here is the governor wasting funds enriching the rich

Thanks to the 16years of PDP corrupt leadership.

Southwest has the worst federal roads in the country, thanks to goodluck that tried fixing ore-benin road. Apart from that, no other road is good in southwest.

Bad federal is not peculiar to southwest, but southwest has more of it.

then its not based on merit...its based on "na my man".

I think its better we all see them work before we start complaining.

donholy28:
So u mean that their re no good loyal people apart from his brothers in d whole country?

There are enough but you have to be very careful... If you check the history of most of those appointed you would notice they have been known together since the 80's/ 90's which shows how strong their relationship would be.

chukwudi44:
Before nko is it your oyel money? You want to use other people's money to develop your land while giving them crumbs

Your brother was there for 8 years both as a president and vice and he couldn't execute a tangible project in his hometown talk less of his geo political zone, and one hungry mofo is here spewing gibberish... Imagine an educated person like you arguing on NL while Asari an illiterate owns university OUTSIDE the country.

truefact:
Before quota system, we all know those who managed Nigeria. From 1960 to 66...Nigeria saw progress, but from 1967 to present, the Hausa-Fulani and Yorubas has ruined Nigeria

So the Hausas and Yorubas helped rule your states also Or was Jona your son also from south west or north? If you don't have something reasonable to offer you can always skip the thread

donholy28:
Everyone accepts that appointment should be based on merit but wr d problem lies is that in a whole country u say that only ur brothers are meritable.

If you were in he's shoes you will do the same, in a country where some fools are praying he fails.. He's surely gonna choose those he knows and trust very well to help him execute the job diligently

Who fair pass Btwn the coke bottle and the guys lifting it

Why hand him over to the police when there's enough animals in the game reserve that needs some meat

Albino wey dey put filter for picture... E wan turn invincible

Imagine seeing that last girl in a dark room... Swear down man fit faint

@0P

You don't need ATM pin to shop online, all they need is the card number, exp date and Security which is the 3digits behind your card... And you surely gonna wake up to an empty account

This should serve as a lesson to THAT GIRL that's planning to sleep with a dude cuz of iPhone 6, or that GUY thats planning on doing something illegal... Pretty soon iPhone 6 would also become as useless as this NOKIA phone.

All those who lost their virginity for this phone back would be bitting their fingers somewhere right now, so will some people bite theirs in the future for losing it cuz of Iphone

The elders are busy raping while the young ones are busy pushing cocaine... Which way forward

Its no news that the previous administration dined and lived in corruption.... Imagine some hungry dudes ranting like goats on here trying to support a government that even its umbrella cant cover all the atrocities it committed.

A former Minister of State for Finance, Mr. Remi Babalola, on Tuesday explained why he left the cabinet of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Babalola, in a paper presented at the 45th Annual Accountants Conference and 50th Anniversary celebration of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria described the lack of transparency in the oil sector under Jonathan as alarming.

Babalola, who chaired the Federation Account Allocation Committee between 2007 and 2010, said he left the previous administration owing to mismanagement of the nation’s resources.

In his paper titled “Achieving the Nigeria of Our Dream: The Responsibility of Professional Accountants,” he urged the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to confront the endemic corruption whole-heartedly in order to resolve the country’s mal-functionality.

He said, “Our culture of impunity is the bane of the entrenched corruption in our society. The value destruction and corruption undermine any economic development or social change we may aspire for our nation.

“Mismanagement and misallocation of resources, coupled with an unprecedented level of corruption have been at their highest in the history of our nation in the last six years.

“Performance or success in public space was measured by the conversion rate of public funds into private accounts. It looks as if democracy has been substituted with kleptocracy.”

He recalled, drawing the attention of the nation to the parlous state of the Nigeria National Petroluem Corporation’s accounts five years ago, adding that many sympathisers feared for his life as it amounted to what he described as “stepping on a snake”.

He said, “I was unperturbed and unruffled but ready and willing to take a walk as a statement of intent that if they wanted to continue in that decadence of resource mismanagement, I was not going to be a part of it.”

The former minister decried the absence of transparency in the oil sector and the NNPC, regretting that the corporation’s core competence had been reduced to importing refined products and paying subsidies to bogus companies.

He wondered why it was difficult for the NNPC to compete with the likes of PETROBRAS of Brazil and PETRONAS of Malaysia.

“It is counter intuitive that we deliberately ensure that receipts and proceeds into the nation’s treasury are not accounted for.

“Such has been our contempt for process transparency that an incumbent governor of an operationally and legally independent central bank, who publicly alerted the nation, was forced out of a fixed tenure.

“Of course given its systemic importance to the economy, there is no justification for the state-owned oil sector monopoly (the NNPC) not to publicly publish its audited accounts and even quarterly accounts like all listed companies on the stock exchange,” he said.

Babalola, who is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, recommended public asset declaration for every principal officer in the executive arm of government from the president to the ministers, permanent secretaries, director-generals, and heads of parastatals and agencies.

The public asset declaration, according to him, had become necessary to curb the alarming rate of corruption in the country.

He also urged the Federal Government to ensure that the NNPC published its audited accounts quarterly like all listed companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

On the Federal Government’s bailout programmes for the states, the former finance minister advised that it should be done in line with Section 41 of the Fiscal Responsibility Act.

“As good a gesture as the bailout is, it may lead to moral hazard as the states continue with financial recklessness leading to financial insolvency. Why are we borrowing to pay salaries in stark violation of Section 41 of the Fiscal Responsibility Act?” he queried.

He added, “Rescuing the states is a necessary gesture but how and on what terms? Each state should have been treated as an entity with peculiar conditionalities.

“A body like ICAN and other professional bodies should have been brought in as independent platform to assess and recommend terms and conditions for each state just like the situation in Greece.”
Babalola called for a higher level of advocacy in financial prudence and disclosure by professional accountants.

He charged professional accountants to display discipline, knowledge, ethics and integrity at all times.

“As professionals, we should be able to establish causal relationships in observed phenomena.

“The highlighted causes of the financial crisis and corporate governance scandals cannot but be traced directly or indirectly to professional accountants and financial reporting.”

One by one they testifying against themselves....

No new equipment was ever issued to the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) to prosecute the war against Boko Haram militants, a prosecution witness has stated at the ongoing court-martial of Brig Gen EA Ransome-Kuti, a former commander of the MNJTF.

This testimony starkly contradicts the assertion of the former Chief of Army Staff Kenneth Minimah that brand new equipment was purchased and issued to the MNJTF.

Brigadier General Kuti was in charge of Baga, in Borno State, when Boko Haram overran the army headquarters in December 2014. International organizations estimated that over 3, 000 died in the incident, but Defense Headquarters posted a much lower figure of 150.

Making the stunning statement at the Special Court Martial, which is taking place at the Army Headquarters Garrison in Abuja, was Major Gen MY Ibrahim, former General Officer Commanding the 7th Division of the army.

Major General Ibrahim caused a further stir when he declared that throughout his tenure as the GOC, he did not once visit Baga.

General Ibrahim further testified that the three MBLT Battle Tanks issued to the force had mechanical and electrical faults, while the artillery guns lacked critical accessories.

It was further revealed during the trial that the MNJTF lacked adequate fighting vehicles and support weapons. Most of the battle tanks in Baga were issued in 1998 at the commencement of the operation, and were therefore in very poor condition. The tanks were therefore not useful and could not effectively be used to repel the attack by the insurgents on the 3rd of January 2015.

Despite Army Headquarters directives that there should be mutual support in the North East operation by all members of the Nigerian Army, members of the Court Martial were dumbfounded when documentary evidence was tendered to show that the former GOC intentionally refused to task any military unit to support the MNJTF when it came under that attack.

Prior to this development, the Investigating Police Officer had informed the court that he was restricted in his investigation while the second prosecution witness, Captain EE Emmanuel, testified that MNJTF fighting equipment was unserviceable and that the troops were thus overwhelmed by the insurgents who fought with superior fire power and in strength.

Meanwhile, the Committee set up by the Chief of Army Staff to screen officers and soldiers in Jaji has concluded its sitting without screening all the army officers who turned up for the exercise. The committee made up of Maj Gen A Oyebade, Col I Buhari, Col ON Taiwo, Col TS Nurseman, Lt Col EO Ugwu, Lt Col ME Elom and Lt Col U Ukpe, directed the officers to return to their location and continue with their trials.

Although the trial has not commenced, our investigations have revealed that Col I Buhari participated in the investigations that led to the trial of most of the officers while Col TS Nurseman, Lt Col EO Ugwu and Lt Col U Ukpe who are presently serving as Director Legal Services in HQ 81 Div, HQ 1 Div and AHQ Gar respectively, gave the legal advice that led to the convening and trial of the officers affected by the court martial. Of equal significance, they are participating as either the Prosecutor or Judge Advocate in the court martial.

The Special Court Martial is expected to resume sitting tomorrow for the defence counsels Femi Falana and Rtd Maj OA Oyebanji to open their case. Notice has been given in court that the military authorities should make the former Chief of Defence Staff, former Chief of Army Staff and Maj Gen JAH Ewansiha available as witnesses in view of the testimony of General Ibrahim that new equipment was never issued to the MNJTF.
