chukwudi44:
We won’t stop ex-militants’ meeting –Presidency


The Presidency on Friday said there was no plan to disrupt a meeting of top ex-Niger Delta militants previously scheduled to hold in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on Saturday (today).

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, disclosed this in an interview with Saturday PUNCH.

One of the top ex-militants in the Niger Delta, Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo), had on Thursday called the ex-commanders of militant groups in the oil rich region to an urgent and “crucial” meeting.

There has been apprehension that the meeting could lead to another violent protest in the Niger Delta.

But Adesina told Saturday PUNCH that the government would not stop the meeting because of its respect for the freedom of association.

When asked to comment on the fact that the meeting was convened amidst complaints of perceived neglect of the Niger Delta amnesty programme by the present administration, the presidential spokesperson said he would not pre-empt the meeting.

He said he would make a comment when the meeting comes out with a resolution and he felt he must react to it.

Adesina said, “Let us not pre-empt that meeting. Let it hold because there is freedom of association.

“When they meet and come out with a position, if there is the need to respond, we will do so.

“This is a democracy. We will not stop them.

Femi Adeshina as usual we know ur anticedent and style, Garba Shehu will soon come to retract this statement

NIGERIALOLoCOM:
That picture though.

But I'm disappointed in your failure to refute/counter what the @op wrote.

They've been programmed by Lie michrophone programmer Femi Adeshina. So the only word in their memory now is 'wailing wailer', and that is the only picture their memory can recognised, which must be formatted before anything reasona8le can be saved again

Whynotthetruth:
The money is there...Jonathan before his departure concluded that of Abacha which they have promised to return...I think about $141million dollars or so...notwithstanding buhari saying Abacha did not loot Nigeria treasury...

The evil that men do, live after them.
They were running their mouthed lies and propaganda campaign against GEJ. Now all what they used againt GEJ dat time is hunting them down now.
US know dat PMB will not probe the Harliborton case, hence the condition attached to releasing the money.
1. Now US has promised to release abacha loot, but since during campaign CHANGErians PMB said Abacha never stole Nigeria money meaning US keep the money we dont need it. Its only GEJ dat stole, but they've forgotten that 'AMERICA will know if money is stollem'
2. Obama know those involve in Harlibourton case are PMB election saints and financial, hence the Condition to release the money given that THOSE INVOLVE will be probed.

So BABA pls we know you want to fight corruption, pls dont let our money ABACHAs LOOT, HARLIBOuRtON SCandal get hook in US bank, its of now use to NIGERIAN over there, but pls dont forget the conditional tense 'BRING THE PERPETRATORS TO JUSTICE'.
Anyway since it was communicated by lie michrophone femi adesina, Garba Shehu wil soon come to release another press statement that Baba never said that during campaign or that those were campaign promises

Whynotthetruth:
[b]Several conflicting statements from Buhari/APC posit them as being confused, dubious, vindictive, and also talks too much...They won election through lies and propaganda... and now wants to apply same strategy to governance...Examine the facts below;

1) Buhari said he will probe nobody before election; http://thenationonlineng.net/buhari-i-wont-probe-past-govts/

2)Buhari says he's reopening Halliburton case prior to his US visit: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/182m-halliburton-scandal-buhari-orders-preparation-of-case-file/#sthash.0a7efsUx.dpuf

3)Buhari pleads with Obama to help in RECOVERY & subsequent PROSECUTION of over $150billion looted from Nigerià SINCE PAST DECADE including Halliburton scandal fund: http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/buhari-seeks-obama-s-help-to-recover-150bn-nigerian-loot-/215177/

4)Buhari says he will probe and prosecute only Jonathan administration...how about Halliburton scandal fund?; http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/187120-buhari-will-probe-jonathans-govt-only-not-obasanjos-others presidency.html?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter

5)Note that America has given prosecution of Halliburton scandal perpetrators as ONLY condition for release of over $140million already recovered. So does Buhari want to dash America that money already recovered?

6)Remember Buhari has boasted he will prosecute ANY corrupt official irrespective of party affiliation or status...

7)Article below may interest you too...[/b] July, 24 2015...

Early last month when it was public knowledge that Presidential Mohammadu Buhari would be visiting the United States, the already killed and buried Halliburton bribery scandal case was exhumed. I decided to use the word killed and buried because prior to that time, nothing was heard about it. Effort of the last administration of
Goodluck Jonathan to look into the matter was only perfunctory and the only person indicted then was Bodunde Adeyanju, a former Personal Assistant (PA) on Domestic Affairs to former President Olusegun Obasanjo. The PA, as usual with our dear country when there are lots of interests at play, only got a slap on the wrist and
was told to go and sin no more.But exhumed the matter was, as the president planned his US visit. [b]The information then was that, the US government was willing to refund the $140million recovered if only the Buhari government would begin prosecution of people indicted in Nigeria. In the US, former Vice President Dick Cheney was indicted because he was Halliburton CEO before becoming America’s second citizen. He was later cleared when Halliburton worked out a settlement of $35 million. The linchpin in the bribery scandal, Jeffery Tesler was also jailed 21 months and has since finished his term. The company itself was punished. The only place where not much effort was made in punishing most of the people allegedly indicted was in Nigeria.

The president’s visit to the US has since been concluded, I however cannot say whether the issue came up, but I suspect it did since the US government said it would help Nigeria in recovering all our stolen wealth and the Halliburton’s money is part of such.

However, my concern is the alleged condition given by the American government on the return of our money – that President Buhari should prosecute all the people
indicted.[/b] The president has vowed to tackle corruption. He has promised that no one would be spared even if any member of his party, the All Progressives Congress was involved. He has equally said he would probe the past administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan. Though the former president has said he should extend the probe beyond his tenure. He (Jonathan) probably had his reason for saying that especially considering what we already know. But would President Buhari be able to do this? I am especially concerned about Nigeria’s or the Halliburton’s bribery cash lying in the US. It would help the country, no doubt if this money comes back, especially now that the country is in dire financial strait.

But I have my fears whether those indicted would ever be brought to justice. Like some friends on social media argued, bringing those people allegedly indicted would
disrupt a lot of things. Their fear is understandable considering those involved. Some of them are people who played very prominent roles in the victory of President Buhari in the last election. A list on social media includes such names as Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar and Chief Don Etiebet, a former minister who both allegedly had $37.5 million hanging on them
and former President Olusegun Obasanjo, his then Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former NNPC helmsmen, Biodun Kupolokun and Gaius Obaseki, with $74million said to be tied around their waists. Others equally indicted are former Head of State, late General Sani Abacha who was believed to have collected about $40million, Chief Dan Etete, $2.5million, former Inspector General of Police, Late MD Yusuf, $75,000. The case of Yusuf was however controversial as the bribe money was given to him when he was no longer the chairman of the board of the Liquefied Natural Project that was in charge of the project at the time and was not in position to influence anything. It was even alleged then that he received the money from the Chagour brothers in London as a gift for shopping. He was chairman of the companies in which the brothers also had interest.

A social commentator and Nigeria’s coordinator at the Natural Resource Governance Institute at the time, Dauda Garuba described the scandal thus:“In terms of the personalities and the amount of money involved it is probably the biggest scandal in Nigeria’s history,”

Would the president then move against these set of people? I doubt whether that is possible. [b]Apart from the wider implications, it would create enmity for President
Buhari at this early stage of the administration in the camps of these powerful people who are his ‘friends’ and associates.[/b]Though these people worked for the president which led to his victory, they will not hesitate to overturn the applecart and work against the president. One of the factors that worked in favour of the president during the campaign and which has always endeared him to most Nigerians is the fact of his honesty, incorruptibility, courage and most importantly, his love for this country and his desire to bring back the lost glory, would this play out now?

Would the president summon that courage to follow through and prosecute these powerful people and begin the major step in ridding the country of what I call corruption infestation. It is when he does this that his name would then be written in gold. Not only that, it would set the nation on the path of rectitude and rebirth.

They will soon come to tell us that Obama never said that the Only condition to released the Harlibourton Money is to bring the perpetrators to Justice. We Know now, said something today, sing another tune tomorrow.

joseph1832:
I see. Might you bother to tell me where you got your information from? And how viable is this information? Because this is sensitive, you can't accuse a man of siphoning money and cook up figure stashed away in foreign banks without having a very viable source.

And last I check, banks, especially foreign banks don't reveal the names of their clients, especially those who siphon public funds. So please, kindly tell me where you got your information from and how reliable and trust worthy is this information?.

Have you forgotten so soon,

joseph1832:
Yes only a lobotomize individual will say the past administration wasn't heavily laden with corruption and corrupt individuals. It was something that was very lucid for all to see.
The way and manner everybody did as he or she pleased was annoying and gut wrenching.

To borrow the words of Patrick Obahiagbon "it is visible to the blind, and audible to the deaf" that the GEJ administration is the most corrupt administration in the history of Nigeria.

And I sincerely hope and pray PMB will probe and punish those who orchestrated the Immigration Job Scam. Those who died as a result of the scam truly deserves JUSTICE.

Demmocrats:
The first set of people are what the kiriki would call small fish

DEY THERE THEY CONSOLE YOURSELF,

Let Baba start from this one now, shebi American will help him recover stolen loot,

Lucasbalo:
Buhari came to Washington with 34 people in his entourage unlike the wasteful kleptomanic Jonathan who traveled to New York for United Nations general Assembly with more than 200 people. Be objective in your criticism. Obama travels with his daughters all the time except if they are in school. He would be going to Africa in few days with Malia and Sasha. So whats the essence of your criticism of Buhari ?.

and what was the ourcome of the meeting,

SalC:
I may not be politically inclined or comment much on this section as I detest Nigerian politics but truth be told, Barcanista is the best political analyst on Nairaland. His thread are well articulated and well referenced. One can easily confirm everything he writes, I think the reason why APC loyalists bad mouth him is simply because he was one of them before leaving when they least expected it, and they can't seem to stomach it.

I really don't care you political inclination but Kudos a million times Barcanista and don't let anyone deter you from doing what you know to be right. You have a fan here.

Your threads bring me to this section.

Thank you,

Its in their blood to alwys look for ways to crucify thr messenger while neglecting the message.
Anybody not on their side is now a crimininal (CHANGErians are the only saints),
the earlier they understand that no matter how CHANGErians try to cover the truth, surely @Barcanista et.al will always be their for innocent Nigerians not to swallow their hooks of Lies and PROPAGANDA.

@BARCANISTA, surely they (CHANGErians) will gather, they will always fail.

dekdek:
Ignoramus, what the General said is on point. again nothing up there suggests that he was comparing NOMINATIONS of US president to his (as stated by u) instead he was making reference to when Obama had the pleasure of having his FULL cabinet ready to rock and roll with him. He went further to say that despite not having them, governance in those departments did not seize.

will you hear yourself again,
one question for you, on january 21 2009, how many of his cabinent members (not PA or SSA) resume office with Obama.
Your reply will help us go further

Beremx:
the way this fool has been disturbing my mentions even when I always ignore him is really pathetic! Am I the cause of your misfortune?

@Beremx truth is always bitter,

CHANGErians hate truth,
but NIGERIANS want truth which CHANGErians govt is lacking.
So if you are not convinient with our truth voice, remain silent or get the bashing you desired

wakaman:
Barcinasta I see you, your naivety knows no bounds, your persona Coolestrouge is a sham like you.
Imagine registering a new moniker to sing you songs.
Grow up.

Get a life, man!
If you are one.

Is that all CHANGErian,

e dey pain you

coolestrogue:
We the e-PDP on Nairaland want use this medium to appreciate our own in the person of Barcanista. Barcarnista remains the finest and best political analyst we have on Nairaland.
We are proud of you, and we wish you the best as you continue to fight for our democracy. No amount of intimidation by the e-apc rats to tarnish your image will on Nairaland will work, we are going to stand by you.

All I see is that majority of apc e-rats are jealous of his popularity on Nairaland
Please, let us use this thread to encourage our own, by posting something nice about our e-idol

Truth will always prevail at the end. No wonder CHANGErians always result to personal attack @Barcanista, when the LIES and PROPAGANDA had been busted by @Barcanista. CHANGErian let this sink into your head that @Barcanista is a NIGERIAN. @Barcanista always stand on the side of the truth, we will not allow this CHANGErians twist Nigeria for us.

dabossman:
Oh lawd! The Nairaland politics section has gone to the dogs. Rabid, lunatic dogs.

Kazrem:
A drained brain is not difficult to be identified. It always finds faults in everything. But to your question, among other things that he achieved was having a session with the investors and sharing the business prospects in the country. So next time use your brain to follow happenings and not your ass.

Investor you say, when no Nigerian investors was allow into the meeting ecpet clara oshiomole because she is a foreigner abi. Who will the investor patnerss with in nigeria.

barcanista:
Every patriotic Nigerian will admit that the President Journey to the USA was more of a National embarrassment and a complete flop. He had nothing concrete to discuss with Obama. Instead of keeping quiet, he mis-called his party name "All Nigeria People's Congress (ANPC)". He couldn't secure Obama's commitment in our fight against terrorism nor even discussed policy issues, and give proposal to Obama on how they can help him achieve success in his policies (perhaps he has no policy). He had nothing absolutely to say.

Wonder why Obama left him to Secretary of State John Kerry and travelled to Kenya? Because he realised that the man he invited is a complete joke. Obama means business

May God Help Us

I guess from Obama mind, how will a President be holding meeting with foreign business partners , neglecting (disallowing Nigerian Business Men) to come to that meeting, even those that Gate crashed where rebuked, While A foreigner (Clara Oshiomole was allowed: Is she a business woman) time will tell. Obama will just say I get important thing to attend to than this.

While will Obama discuss that with people that have double tongue, no clear plan for economic development of Nigeria. Money are stoled, Hpw, where, when, by who, through who.

They think Obama will fall for their PROPAGANDA.

Obama is a wise Man.

Themaingate:
@op the money stolen during the tenure of jonathan far far exceed what have being stolen since independent put together.

Jonathan and all ministers need to be probe bro sorry

Assumption as usual, where are your facts data. We want facts and figurres not Propaganga to win oublic sympathy which will not . Remember election is over

rman:
Unfortunately his mission is so selfish only fools can not see through how deceptive the guy is.

Majority in this clime only approach issues from ethnic or religious angle and that explains why politicians will continue to under perform but have ready made people affected by the consequences of their bad decisions come online to defend them. That is why people like OP will continue to have massive following on nairaland. The only achievement some people have in life is where they come from, something they have nothing to do about.

The best way to massage a mans ego is make him/her feel he is special because of ethnic, religious, or sometimes political affiliation. The OP understands this perfectly. Every time I read posts on this forum, I can infer with a few posts and trends those that are miserable in real life but they do not know it.

Seun has hit jackpot with nairanland, it is the perfect site for low lifers to feel important and they are many in Nigeria.

Itunmo "Meaning"

...........People disregard Burukunista and.......

Oro re ko ta rara ati rara ni,

is this the best you can say,
From your mind are the following (Obasanjo, Atiku, Tinubu, Amechi, IBB, et.al) not part of those who squandered how money in Nigeria.
But because they sponsor PMB election they belong to the "far past" which he said will be destructive to his Govt.
No be this Nigeria we dey, we are watching let the probe start. I dey laf oooooh

yahmohy27:
God bless us my brother ,it seems that guy lacks work or he is seeking favored from the past govt

Nobody is against probing GEJ govt, but for saying probing "Far Past" (Yaradua, Obasanjo, Abdusalam, IBB et.al) will be destructive for His govt is the issue, We are 100% solidly behind probing fine. That statement must be clarify. So you can do better than this.

barcanista:
You posted this before, I ignored you because you can't hold discuss. Now you still come here with that. Didn't Buhari also said he won't contest 2015? I know you don't know this but get this into your head...

“This campaign is the third and last one for me since after it I will not present myself again for election into the office of the president,” (Buhari, April 14, 2011)
www.vanguardngr.com/2014/11/contradictions-muhammadu-buhari-2/

people will defend them blindly now,
People who cannot stand on their words and promise, i takes from come from this Govt as having part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with different stories and false colouration.
That is why i challenge them, let them continue digging and digging and digging for their acclaimed INCRIMINATING evidence against Ex-Ministers and Govt (I dey laf ooooh)

If that is how you APC e-thugs interpret the comment then I allow you to your folly. I understand that some of you (APC e-Thugs) have been looking for ways to get at me but shamefully, you decided on this. I believe the comment is very clear for any rational mind.

@Comrade Barcanista abeg leave this people alone, see as them rush here to comment on false. They their lies have been busted for real, now result to personal attack.

CHANGErians giving us Blair house report. Haaaaahahaahhahaa, now they realise why GEJ ignore USA.

vedaxcool:


In an increasing show of disenchantment with checkered regime of Jonathan, leader of wailers association and taniods on nairaland, oga barcanista labelled Jonathan and most southern leaders foolish for appointing a northerner of dasuki brand as NSA. The show of shame to his master came on the heels of the revelations by a Dasuki blogger that the ex NSA beged yada yada yada . this not only pained the chief of wailers but revealed the extreme cluelessness of the Jonathan regime. This recent outburst once again support the narrative that Jonathan regime was an unmitigated disaster for Nigeria.


https://www.nairaland.com/2471345/begged-tinubu-akande-make-buhari/1

Is this the report of PMB rest visist to Blair House,
typical CHANGErians with their lies and propanganda, you discover that your Falso comparism with Obama nomination is fake, Wind don blow, we don see fowl yanch.

Now resulting to personal attack on @Barcanista, i pity for CHANGErians NIGERIANS are tire of you fake change

Tallesty1:
"What kind of this is this"?

Read am again now, what did you get from it. Facts and fallacy are never the same. Truth and falsehood are not the same

dekdek:
There lies ur problem.........................Not once did Baba compare nominations. Ur foundation is faulty.

Here it is again for your comsumption.

“When cabinet ministers are appointed in September, it will be some months after I took the oath of office. It is worth noting that Obama himself did not have his full cabinet in place for several months after first taking office; the United States did not cease to function in the interim” President Buhari said..

Please read again and summarize what is going on here for me. If not comparison.

[quote author=dekdek post=36179589][/quote]Stop calling Dog Monkey for us abeg.

The two are totally different no reason or basis for comparison at all.

dekdek:
The conditions and requirements for both countries are different but the end points is the same which is...............
For months after each of the Presidents Inauguration, Both President dont/wont have the pleasure of having their full Cabinet.
That is what Buhari stated. It happended for Obama and will surely happened for Buhari so whats ur point again please?

How point is. Before PMB can compare his nomination to Obama, then He must make his key Cambinet members nomination like Obama. Period, then comparison can work, aside that its a false comparison

dekdek:
This is not the point and this has no bearing to what the General said. Already he has given his reasons why he is yet to appoint them and it makes perfect sense.

..... insisting that Nigeria must put new rules of conduct and good governance in place before making key appointments......

Go slow indeed.

You people are not helping Baba at all.

dekdek:
How does majority equal FULL as stated by the General? The point here is u guys are trying to disprove what Guhari said and that is simply not flying. Its a fact that the FULL Cabinet wasnt just in place as stated by the General. Second link is inconsequential report since the first link has more validity (website of the US Senate itself)

Haaaaaaaahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha, you will not stop to amaze me.

Obama nomination started months before his inauguration, sent for senate approval before his inauguration, majority of the cabinet were approved by January 20 2009.
http://www.senate.gov/reference/Obama_cabinet.htm

Back to Baba Nomination (Zero), SENT for Senate Approval (ZERO). then why comparing the two together, there is no basis for comparison Man.

dekdek:
This is not the point and this has no bearing to what the General said. Already he has given his reasons why he is yet to appoint them and it makes perfect sense.

..... insisting that Nigeria must put new rules of conduct and good governance in place before making key appointments......

Then there is need comparing His nomination and Appointment with Obama Nomination and Appointment. Because He is making us to believe that He is taking a principle from Obama mode of nomination and appointment
