DONSMITH123:
More Facebook postings of the embattled INEC staff, Charles Okoye, who is allegedly on the payroll of the Rivers State APC have further linked him to being a member of the opposition party in Rivers State and under the sponsorship of the party to lie under oath.

It will be recalled that Charles Okoye was directly subpoenaed by the Rivers State APC and was at the Rivers State Governorship Election Tribunal to tender a personally authored report which he recanted upon cross examination.

In new Facebook postings of Charles Okoye obtained online, the embattled INEC staff who is allegedly on the payroll of former governor Rotimi Amaechi indicated that he is available for financial rewards and bribes.

On August 6, 2015, posting on Facebook, Charles Okoye wrote: “I have taken a sabbatical from Facebook and refrained from making posts on the current condition of the country because am not being paid yet by the APC. When I am paid, I will do that”.

On August 6, Charles Okoye posted: “Our party promised Nigerians change. ..”

While on August 28, 2015 Charles Okoye took to Facebook to praise his paymaster, Former Governor Amaechi .

He wrote: “However, you look at it, Amaechi is part of this government. Even if he is not, have you considered that if Jonathan had won Amaechi would have been a dead man”.

The compromised INEC staff who was personally subpoenaed by the Rivers State APC to give questionable testimony on the governorship election has already been disowned by INEC as a fraud.

Immediate past Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has since deployed his vast illegally acquired wealth to sponsor Security operatives, few compromised INEC staff and a section of the media to distort facts about the happenings at the Rivers State Tribunal.

Amaechi is said to have misappropriated over N3 trillion that accrued to Rivers State in his eight years of misgovernance, alleged thievery and unbridled looting of state facilities. It is alleged that these resources are now being used to compromise agencies of state and their tainted officials.

That Facebook account was faked. Just go to Facebook search and type "Nyesom Wike" or " Muhammadu Buhari" and you'll be amazed how many accounts will pop up. I searched for 'Charles Okoye" and more than twelve accounts popped up. This cheap gimmick by election riggers won't work. Wike and PDP must prove that they did not create that account.
What about all the police officers that testified at the tribunal. Show us their Facebook accounts also. That election is as good as cancelled, Wike is as good as disqualified, prosecuted and jailed for causing the death of innocent Nigerians. We shall see.

Eighty what? Tell me its a lie!

It true. These are the professional cattle rustlers and murderers of Fulani herdsmen. Yet many of their kins and haters will be on Nairaland calling for genocide against the Fulani for confronting these monsters.

The Niger Delta militants should step up and destroy these rail thin Fulani bastardss. I hate it when innocent people are terrorized.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/fulani-herdsmen-kill-3-peace-emissaries-in-delta/

This is sensational journalism by Vanguard. They want us to believe the version from an anonymous source that the victims were emissaries on a peace mission as the title of the story indicate. But an official report from the police confirmed that the victims died in a reprisal attack on the community. Which one is the truth?

u21day:
Please what exactly did you wife do at mtn's office and how long did it take for her to finish up.

I got mine on glo. Went there yesterday and it was a fresh registration all over.

Imokay:
hmmm, please report the cases you know.My people are in their villages, the nomads come, when they say don't allow your cattles to run down our crops they don't care,when an attempt to drive the cattles off the farm is made, the cattle rearers attack the people....that was the genesis. But i am not here for that debate, as I mourn these my brothers....I just want the madness to stop. The Federal Govt or whoever is in charge should in mercy find a way out of this mess.I can't say all what we see, we just need peace in the Berom land.

I sympathise with you for your lost. But some Fulani folks who lost their loved ones are equally grieving. You have presented your case well but can we now hear from a cattle Fulani man? Definitely not because while you have this mouthpiece they don't. We can only judge your matter here out of bias, malice or hatred for the cattle fulani. Some gullible posters above have already done that. The fulanis talk on radios and are painting even a worse picture of their predicament. How about that?
You people must sheath your swords and end this vicious circle of revenge and counter revenge. It's not doing you any good. It was bad leadership of former governor Joshua Dariye that was the Genesis of the uprisings on the Plateau not only between you and the fulanis but the resident hausas as well. Dariye was on record inciting the berom and others against hausas that that have coexisted for over a century. He was reported to have personally ordered attacks against resident hausas which led to imposition and extention a state of emergency and his suspension as a governor.
To be frank with you it's only through give and take, forgiveness, understanding and mutual respect that you'll attain the peace that evade you. The berom are fighting a war they cannot win. The nomadic nature of fulani and their massive population, spread and determination not to forgive or forget put them at an edge above you. They are tougher and know exactly where your people are at any given time but it's very difficult for you to trace them in the bush. Even when you do you only get two or three of them at a time. But you people are sitting ducks either in in your villages or in the next villages as refugees. So seek for genuine peace.
I hope your plea will reach your intended recipient. Buhari will definitely intervene as he promised. But be ready to give and take and to accept whatever settlement that may be reached. We suggested the inclusion of the cattle fulani representatives in the Constitution Amendment Conference organized by former president Jonathan but nobody took us serious.

In 2014, tired of feeling ashamed and
ostracized by society for their periods, a
group of Spanish female performance
artists made a public statement by wearing
white pants covered with blood stains.
The street performance, titled “Sangre
Menstrual" (literally translated as
“menstrual blood”), is a protest against the
“patriarchal systems” that oppress women
during menstruation. Menstruating women
have been viewed as unclean since biblical
times. The group aims to “reclaim the
female body and free normal bodily
functions from shame and judgement."
A statement from the “Manifesto for the
Visibility of the Period” read, “I stain [my
pants], and it doesn't make me sick. I stain
[my pants] and I don't find it disgusting."
The performance created “ a larger debate
surrounding reproduction and the female
body," and has represented the “body as a
political act of defiance."

How do you do too.

Dey there de shout first to comment while Sheun and his team are smiling to the bank. Annoying!

I abandoned my PGD course that is nearing completion. I have taken all prescribed courses, written and passed all the exams that will have graduated me with a PGD in Criminology and Security Studies. But due to some personal reasons- including a change of job schedule I couldn't meet up to write my final year project. This is three years now. But up till now my portal is still active with all my results on it. Can I resume and complete my study. What do I do? My centre is Port Harcourt. Thanks.

ConfessionsNgr:
Had I known all my labour on her would be in futility, I wouldn’t have spent my hard earned money on her. I looked forward to a bright future with her but my dreams have been shattered by the very one I gave true love. I’m an OND holder but into a lucrative business which is doing very well. I met my girl online four years ago, though that notwithstanding, people can meet anywhere. I was already done with my OND while she was in 200L in the university. She told me of how her mother died during the delivery of their lastborn and her dad had to remarry leaving her to cater for herself most times. I felt the urge to render the little assistance I could and I started giving her money for her upkeep that was like six months after we met. I can even remember paying her tuition fees one session. Now four years down the memory lane, after her graduation and NYSC, and getting a job in an ICT firm with a good pay, it suddenly dawned on her that she can't marry an OND holder because of the gap in education. I told her it is the love between us that matters most but she said she loves me but we are not compatible education wise as she still want to further her education. All these years she was “gulping” my money, calling me sweet names, she didn’t see the incompatibility. When her future was in disarray I was her messiah (am not boasting here) but now that she can look forward to a bright future I’m no more in the picture.

The best decision is to let her go and look for love elsewhere. Otherwise you are inviting frustration to yourself. An exact case happened with a colleague of mine who never wanted to let go and eventually got frustrated. He later saw reason with us and let go. Her mother was actually the cause. She told him point blank and actually convinced the girl that he is not man enough for her. Six years later this girl could not make any headway with any man and started making contact with her ex. She showed remorse, expressed regrets, apologized and persisted. I personally convinced my colleague to forgive and take her back. Their old love rekindled and prevailed and he not only took her back but married her this past June. I was his best man and they pledged to be ever grateful to me for my being the tool that God used to make their reunion possible. They are living happily today.

Sometimes, I use to wonder if this Fulani's have blood flowing in their vein. They don't have regard for live and can wreck havock at the time you least expect. These people needs proper education an enlightenment by their leaders. Especially the cattele rearers, if they graze their animals on ur farm land and u challenge them, it might cost u ur life or total destruction of ur property. Pls the govt should do something ASAP.

Rubbish. When you kill Fulani and rustle their cattle the media won't report it. They only report when the Fulani take revenge. The Fulani are one of the most marginalized group in this country. But make una continue. You can't finish them but it's you that will finish. If a Fulani cows eat your crops there are legal ways to settle such matters. But when you employ jungle justice they have no choice but to fight to live.

Is this magic or photoshopping?

barcanista:
It was shocking that Alhaji Lai Muhammed, the spokesman for All Progressive Congress (APC) will come out in public to make a remark that suggests that APC leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Hon Rotimi Amaechi have no case pending with EFCC. To quote Alhaji Lai Muhammed "With what evidence will the EFCC go after Tinubu or Amaechi. What were they accused of? Why will they go after them if there are no petitions against them?". Is Lai Muhammed really asking what both men are being accused of? I think it is proper to give him a reminder of events.

EFCC's Investigation on Tinubu
In September 2006, the EFCC Chairman Nuhu Ribadu made known before the Senate that then Lagos state Governor, Bola Tinubu is under corruption investigation that is/was of "International dimension". I believe that Nigerians will want to know the outcome of the EFCC investigation against BAT that was said to be of "international dimension". Rather than coming out to ask Nigerians what "Tinubu" is accused of, it will be patriotic for Lai Muhammed to charge the President and EFCC to show transparency and leadership by telling Nigerians the status of the investigation-to determine whether or not BAT has a case to answer.
Ref:www.ocnus.net/artman2/publish/Africa_8/Looting_EFCC_Report_Indicts_15_Governors_26047_printer.shtml

For the record: At no time did ANY court acquit Tinubu of theft. He was only acquitted on the allegation of operating 10 foreign accounts during his 8years as Governor which violated section 7 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Cap C15 LFN, 2004 www.vanguardngr.com/2011/12/tinubu-floors-fg/

Petition Against Amaechi Sent To EFCC, Presidency:
On August 5, 2015 it was reported that a group known as The Integrity Group, sent a "well detailed petition of corruption against former governor of Rivers state, Chibuike Amaechi to President Buhari and the EFCC". Neither the Presidency nor the EFCC has denied receipt of the I.G's petition. I don't want to believe that Lai Muhammed made the statement of "no petition" against Amaechi out of ignorance. I will advice that he consult with the EFCC and the Presidency, and encourage them to work on the petition so as to establish the innocence or otherwise of the former governor.

Buhari's Administration Insincerity With Anti-corruption:
Recall that on July 23, Spokesman Femi Adesina made known to Nigerians that the anti-corruption probe will only start and end with the immediate past government. According to him the President won't bother to probe the far past. He further said “The far past will includes Obasanjo and others. But the president has said he will not waste time to go that far.”

However, the above statement is in sharp contrast with Buhari comment/promise when he was running for the same office of the President in 2011 under CPC. In fact, he made it categorically that he will probe from the 1999 administration. In his own words;

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/NIgerianWorldForum/conversations/topics/100615

A Challenge To President Buhari and APC:
One of the biggest gaffe of the immediate past administration is the inability to bring alleged corrupt officials to justice (just like its own predecessors). The President should live up to his supposed tag as an anti-corruption czar and bring corrupt officers (whether near past, far past or present) to justice. He should revisit the EFCC investigation/report against Tinubu and others; pursue the petition against Amaechi; and bring every official that has stolen public funds to justice. In absence of sincere anti-corruption fight, he will continue to be seen as insincere and unserious.


May God Bless Us All

You voted against Buhari but you are now the one telling him what to do. Buhari promised to fight corruption and corruption he fights. Baba go slow and steady has refused to allow loosers, the guilty and detractors to stampede him.
The EFCC will surely investigate the Petition against Amaechi based on merit. You never called on Jonathan to pursue whatever petition against Tinubu but here you are trying to cause disaffection among people that jointly free our country from saboteurs. God uses Tinubu and Amaechi to make Buhari president and He will continue to use them to better everybody's lot.
Una go tire!

Madrid (AFP) - A Spanish man died Sunday after
being gored in the neck while filming a bull run
through the streets of a town in central Spain with
his mobile phone.
"The young man was on the path of a bull run
which he was filming with his mobile phone," said
Jesus Hijosa, mayor of Villaseca de la Sagra,
where the accident occurred.
"A bull surprised him from behind and gored him in
the neck," he told AFP.
Villaseca de la Sagra is one of many towns across
Spain that host annual festivals where crowds of
people run ahead of a herd of bulls.
Another young man was killed during a 2010 bull
run in the town.
One of the most famous bull runs is in Pamplona,
which was immortalised by US author Ernest
Hemingway in his 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises".
The 32-year-old man who died Sunday was from a
neighbouring village and had come with friends to
Villaseca de la Sagra on Saturday for the run, the
mayor said.
"This sends shivers down our spine... we organise
these events as a tradition, so that people can
enjoy them, but these things happen," Hijosa said.
"Bulls are dangerous animals and when there are a
lot of people some don't pay attention... you have
to have your wits about you."
Fifteen people have been killed in bull runs in
Pamplona since 1911, where many foreign tourists
join in the tradition.

•Says he alienated Nigeria’s neighbours

From Ikenna Emewu, Abuja

The official visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Cameroun to discuss joint efforts to curb Boko Haram in the region has thrown up an indictment of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

A very credible Presidency source told Daily Sun that in the anti-terror war, Jonathan did not do much in forming a synergy with leaders of Nigeria’s neighbouring countries.

The source said during Buhari’s interaction with his Camerounian counterpart, Paul Biya, he disclosed that Jonathan isolated himself from the leaders of Cameroun, Chad and Niger. “The major complaint, according to Biya, is that Jonathan never or seldom, at best, picked his calls. He said most times he called, Jonathan neither picked nor returned his calls. And as a result, the integration of efforts that should have stopped Boko Haram’s foray and unchallenged run was lacking.”

Biya, according to our source, said he was sure that leaders of other neighbouring countries had the same experience, and therefore, questioned how Nigeria alone would have contained Boko Haram, knowing it is an international terror group with roots and connections in some other countries from where they get into Nigeria and carry out attacks.

“This solo handling of the problem did not enable the neighbours put in much to solve the problem until it got this bad,” he said.

The source also indicated that the Jonathan administration was lax and reluctant to bring under control people very close to that government who are flagrantly involved in crude oil theft and diversion.

According to the source, while Jonathan was in power, he was aware that certain persons close to him and coming under the guise of the protection of his government were involved in high scale oil theft.

Another source from the security outfit currently interrogating some key personalities of the past administration disclosed that one of them that was detained and later released told security agencies the Jonathan administration was quite privy to crude oil theft using some government agencies and individuals as fronts.

Daily Sun was told that the administration acted in compromise while the theft lasted and never did much in checking the agencies, individuals and security fronts used in the theft.

“There is no individual that would have access to the crude oil loading terminals, bring in a vessel and load the product and set sail to the high seas without being caught. We have several agencies of government from the petroleum corporation to the conventional security bodies like the Navy and other government bodies that patrol the territorial waters, even private security outfits.

“So it is practically impossible that someone would beat all these hurdles unaided and sail out with loads of crude oil. The government was aware of the people involved and when or where the crude oil was taken. The neighbouring countries we share common sea boundaries with also knew that the Nigerian government under Jonathan merely compromised in the theft,” our source said.
The Daily Sun

LAWMAKERS at House of Representatives yesterday called for the reopening of investigations into some past unresolved high-profile murders extrajudicial killings, urging the police to be alive to their responsibilities, especially in crime prevention and investigation.

However, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Imo State, Chikere Okafor, has decried the exclusion of his region in the recent leadership appointments in the lower chamber and called on the party to go beyond lip service and rhetoric to embrace every section of the country in the much touted spirit of the change.

In its resolution during plenary on a motion by Kingsley Chinda on the need for further investigation into such cases, the House, presided by the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, also mandated its committees on Police Affairs, and Public Safety and National Security (when constituted) to monitor the investigations of such cases and present an interim report within four weeks.

Chinda (Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rivers State), listed the cases as the killing of some traders at Apo, otherwise known as the “Apo Six,” the invasion and killings in Ogoniland by mobile policemen and soldiers, the military invasions of Odi in Bayelsa State and Zaki Biam in Benue State, and the killings in Obiaruku, Delta State.

Others include the cold blood murder of Dele Giwa, the killing of Pa Alfred Rewane, Bola Ige, Funso Williams, Dr. Ayo Daramola, Chukwuma Ogbueli, Marshal Harry, A. K. Dikibo and Monday Ndor.

While expressing concerns that there have been several cases of extrajudicial killings, some times by policemen and other security agencies, as well those committed by “unknown gunmen,” the lawmaker said that “efforts by successive administrations in tackling these had largely been ineffectual and short of expectations.”

In another development, the House called for the construction of temporary schools in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in the North East to enable the children get education.

In a motion, Asabe Vilita Bashir had sought a House resolution that the IDPs, presently occupying schools, be resettled at other places so that the schools, which have been closed to pupils for over a year, could re-open, where security permits. Another prayers adopted include that the Federal Government creates an agency akin to the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to help in rebuilding communities devastated by the insurgents.

There were also commendations for the governors of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Red Cross, individuals and charitable organisations for the interventions to the IDPs issue. South East Reps excluded in Reps’ appointments Okafor wondered why the zone is always made to suffer and left out when political considerations are made in the country.

He recalled that in 2011, the region, under the PDP, was posted an average of a million votes per state, which largely turned the table in favour of former President Goodluck Jonathan, but that in the last election, the PDP managed less than half a million votes due to the efforts of the APC faithful in the region.

Addressing newsmen at the National Assembly yesterday, the lawmaker noted that the APC in the region exhibited the highest level of courage, doggedness and fierce loyalty to the party. According to him, members risked their lives and it is worrisome that the party would now sideline them during appointments into leadership positions in the parliament.

barcanista:
Goodmorning fellow Nigerians, Nairalanders and Guests of this forum. Today (June 29) marks the second month of the life of Buhari's administration. I have therefore taken the step of matching some of his campaign promises with the reality on ground two months into his Presidency (Happy Reading).

1. Failure To End Boko-Haram As Promised:
During Buhari's Jan 22, 2015 campaign for the Presidency in Imo state, he made a pledge/promise to end Boko Haram insurgency within TWO months if elected. In his own words...

“If you elect me as the President of Nigeria on February 14 (March 28), I am assuring you that our government will chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria within two months because it is the responsibility of any reasonable government to secure the lives and property of its citizens.”
www.thenationonlineng.net/polls-campaign-promises-great-expectations/

Unfortunately, contrary to his assurance the BH terrorists has neither been chased out nor is there any significant improvement in this fight.

2. Failure To BringBackChibokGirls:
On August 11, 2014, the Northern Elders Forum gave then President Jonathan a TWO month deadline to BringBackChibokGirls. According to them, failure to return the Chibok girls within the time frame automatically means forfeiture of Jonathan's right to seek re-election in the March 2015 poll. In their own words..

“In the event that President Jonathan fails to do this, Nigerians will be left with the only conclusion that he has forfeited his right to ask for our mandate beyond 2015.”
www.leadership.ng/news/380738/northern-elders-give-jonathan-2-month-ultimatum-produce-chibok-girls-end-insurgency

Buhari promised to reunite the missing girls with their families..

"I will give all it takes to ensure that our girls that were kidnapped from Chibok are rescued and reunited with their families." (President Muhammadu Buhari, March 2015)

Though he never fixed a timeline, I believe it is fair that he inherits the 2months deadline given to Goodluck Jonathan by Northern Elders Forum. His failure to return the school girls after two months in power should therefore means a forfeiture of his right to extend his mandate beyond 2019 in line with the NEF scale.

3. The Failure of Him and His Appointees To Publicly Declare Their Assets:

“I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liabilities, encourage all my appointees to publicity declare their assets and liabilities as a pre-condition for appointment."
www.dailypost.ng/2015/02/20/buhari-pledges-publicly-declare-assets-voted-office/

Those were the words of Muhammadu Buhari in his February 25 pledge. Unfortunately, it's been TWO months since taken over and we are yet to see the Assets of the President and his Vice. More painful is the fact that NONE of the President's appointees (Shehu Garba, Femi Adesina, NSA Moguno, Accountant-General etc) has declared their assets PUBLICLY contrary to his pledge of "as a pre-condition for appointment.".

4. Failure To Commence/Implement Other Programs:
It is unfortunate that two months into this administration, no one is talking about other Buhari promises like the 12 months post service payments for Corp members and feeding of primary school pupils. There is no mechanism in place to ensure that monthly N5000 payment to the elderly, disabled and the unemployed.

It is worthy to note that Buhari is yet to achieve ANY of his campaign promises. Though I never voted President Buhari at the March 28 poll, I believe that it is the right of every citizen irrespective of party or religious affiliation to hold the government accountable. I also believe that we (critics) are doing the APC favor by our constant criticisms. In fact, the APC on April 30 through its Chairman, Chief John Oyegun admonished the opposition to constantly keep the APC/Buhari government on their toes. In his own word...

“We(APC) want the PDP to keep us on our toes so that we don’t make the same mistake they made.”
www.thenationonlineng.net/oyegun-to-pdp-keep-us-on-our-toes/

God sparing our lives, we shall continue to keep them on their toes.


May God Bless Us All

You no go leave Buhari alone? We now know the source of your bias. You are among the few minority that campaigned against Buhari and lost woefully. We don't give a damn how you feel about our change. It took GEJ six years to goad Boko Haram into the monsters they are today and you expect somebody to curtail them in one day. Unlike GEJ Buhari has declared his assets. It was Jonathan’s denial that Chibok girls were abducted and his refusal to negotiate their release that doomed the prospect of their freedom and here you are. Jonathan’s apologist! You go tire.

Ndigbo group writes Buhari, seeks probe of Anyim’s alleged fraudulent deals.
A group, the Ohaneze Ndigbo Christian Youths In Diaspora (UK Chapter), has petitioned President Muhammadu Buhari urging him to probe the alleged fraudulent deals of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim.
The group’s petition was signed by its President General, Bro Cosmas Elechi.
It said among others that “President Muhammadu Buhari should look into the illegal acquisition of wealth of over 200 houses in Abuja, including the 4 Star Barcelona Hotel in the highbrow serene suburb of Wuse 2 by the former SGF all acquired while in Office in direct contravention of extant Civil service rules against the abuse of office and corrupt enrichment by Public Servants.
“We refer Mr. President to the various allegations of fraud in the Office of the Secretary of the Federation when there are multiple instances of fraud and allegations of loss of N12 billion in 4 years namely:
“We also refer Mr. President to the Niger Delta Development Commission where the commission lost over N70 billion in 4 years to the SGF’s office.”
Even more, the group raised some posers in the petition allegedly linking the former SGF to the centenary city project and other deals.
The group said it “would like Senator Anyim Pius Anyim to answer the following questions truthfully.:Does Anyim own any shares in Centenary City project? If yes, what was his consideration for procuring the shares? If yes, did he disclose his interest to the government? Non-disclosure is a criminal breach of office which he sworn to as a public servant.
“Did the Board of Directors of NEPZA approve Centenary city as a free trade zone?
“Is the Centenary city part of the Abuja master plan?
“For the Centenary city to be a free trade zone, the C of O should be in the custody of the Federal Government, where is the C of O?
“Is it lawful to use the C of O as collateral in a bank for a loan?
“If the Centenary City is his personal asset (he should please disclose). The CBN and Finance Ministry are yet to trace any financial record of direct foreign investment into the Centenary City Project till date.
“Why should Senator Anyim foist a residential estate in the Federal Capital territory on the Federal Government as a free Trade zone thereby depriving Nigeria of duly earned customs duty revenue and directly killing our local industries and divesting our youths of jobs?”
The petition further claimed: “When Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation in 2013 promised, on behalf of the Federal Government that the Centenary City project will be handed over to investors, people at the Investors Forum never knew he was handing over the project to himself.
“This phantasm project covers an estimated 300,000 hectares of Abuja land (about two kilometers away from the Airport) which is in excess of $4 billion. The project is not a Public Private Enterprises as made to be believed by the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim.”
The petition also made further damning claims: “Centenary City is alleged to be a joint venture between the Federal Government and Eagle Hills to create the city of the future in Abuja but investigation shows that the Centenary City PLC project is owned by Company First Limited represented by Esther Onoji as a Director with 16 Emmanuel Onoti Crescent, Olokonla, Ajah, Lagos State as registered address and Basic Start Limited represented by Jennifer Onah as a Director with 49/51 Carter Street, Ebute Metta, Lagos as a registered address.
“Basic Start Limited with Corporate Affairs Commission registration number 845727 was initiated registered on the 18th September, 2009 with 4th Floor, 009 Awolowo Road, Falomo, Ikoyi as registered address. Its initial capital was Ten Thousand divided into 5,000 shares respectively, owned by Mr. Paul Oki and 5,000 to Mrs. Boma Ozoba. The company’s share was later bought over by the aides of Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation; Esther Onoji and Jennifer Onah in 2013 and share capital increased to 1 Billion shares for the purpose of defrauding the Federal Government in the Centenary City Projects.
“The company, Centenary City PLC was registered with 17A Wumego Crescent, Off Christ Avenue, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos State as her address and had the under listed as Directors and there is no single share allocated to any of the Directors. The Directors includes Mr. George Marks (Julius Berger), Mr. Cletus Ibeto, Alhaji Abduslam Abubakar (Former Head of State), Mr. Olatunde Ayeni (A close associate of Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan), Mr. Hani Tanios Saliba, Emmanuel Ochela, Adetokunbo Kayode, Ugochukwu Anamelechi Nkwocha.
“If Eagle Hills claimed that they have appointed Julius Berger Nigeria PLC as a key collaborator and developer of the multi-billion dollar city, why is the Director of Julius Berger, Mr. George Marks named a Director in the Centenary City PLC registration with CAC?
“Esther Onoji and Jennifer Onah who work respectively for Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (have) 125,000,000 shares respectively.
“Search at the Corporate Affairs Commission indicates that Centenary City PLC (owned by Company First Limited and Basic Start Limited) had registration number 1109159 but the date of incorporation cannot be ascertained since there is no Certificate of Incorporation in the file but was registered in 2013 from the documents available in the file at the Corporate Affairs Commission.
“The Centenary City was not registered as a Free Trade Zone and there is no indication with the Corporate Affairs Commission that the Centenary city is free trade zone. Also, the Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority [NEPZA] has confirmed that it did not receive any application from the Centenary City applying for Free Trade Zone; moreover, the Centenary City is not qualified as a Free Trade Zone.”
According to the petitioners: “The scheme of declaring the Centenary City as a Free Trade Zone is to give waiver to the owner which has been robbing Nigerian Government of Revenue; running into trillion of Naira and industrial growth. No single dollar through Foreign Investment has been received from the Centenary City project since 2013, rather the owners; Esther Onoji and Jennifer Onah who work for Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation has been using the Certificate of Occupancy as collateral to borrow money within the country.
“Although a Board member of Eagle Hills, Mohamed Alabbar claimed that Julius Berger Nigeria PLC has been appointed as a key collaborator and developer of the multi-billion dollar city yet Julius Berger PLC has been using the assumed Free Trade Zone status to evade import duties for technicians, labour, machines, cement e.t.c. Nigeria has lost over 300,000 jobs through this fraudulent act!
“The earlier the Federal Government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari withdraw the purported Free Trade Zone status, cancel the Certificate of Occupancy and investigate the whole deal behind the Centenary City project; the better for the country. This will save the country economy over N100 trillion for the administration.”
The group also averred in the petition: “It is trite to mention that at an auspicious reception organized in honour of Senator Pius Anyim, the former Secretary to the Federal Government by Ndi Igbo Community recently by eminent sons and daughters of Ibo land e.g. Chief Jim Nwobodo, Chief Festus Odimegwu etc. The Guest were surprised by the disparaging remarks the revered Guest of Honour Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim made about former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
“We would like to advice Sen. Anyim to please leave President Jonathan alone and not join issues with him over his untoward ambition to be the Nigerian President in 2019.”
Apparently, the petition is a fallout of a media war between Dr. Cairo Ojougboh and alleged supporters of Anyim. The group, which fired a petition to Buhari, however, defended Ojougboh thus: “For the avoidance of doubt a brief history of Dr. C .Ojougboh is necessary. He is from Agbor in Ike South LGA in Delta North. He is a medical doctor by profession. He is also known as a man who speaks the truth courageously and says it fearlessly.
“He has a reputation for being uncompromising with the truth. This is why Nigerians applauded him over his famous press conference on why PDP lost at the just concluded elections.
“Dr. Cairo Ojougboh is not in possession of any property belonging to NEPZA or the Federal Government. He has since returned the project vehicle which he was given as the Chairman of NEPZA.
“Dr. Cairo Ojougboh is not a political jobber, he stands by the Christian ethics of “if ye know the truth, the truth shall set you free.
“Allegations that Dr. Cairo Ojougboh tried to kill Hon. Nduka Irabo are untrue and unfounded.”
The Ndigbo Ohaneze however told Buhari in its petition that it “is aware of the animosity and the war between Sen. Pius Anyim and former Governors of Ebonyi State, Sam Egwu and also Governor Elechi because they refused to pay Senator Anyim ‘Protection Money.”
The group also accused Anyim of plotting for 2019 presidency through unprintable ways. www.theeagleonline.com.ng

AustineE1:
Whats so big in making an Igboman NIMASA DG,when ordinarily he is the most qualified for the post. Igbos dont need the dullard of a president to placate them,they deserve what is due to them. Where Fulani's contribute little or nothing to this country and yet they cart away every lucrative appointment and your attempt in being sarcastic exposes the level of ignorance and stupor that has pervaded some youths of our days! Making jest of the bastardization of the federal character principles by the dullard president,exposes you as being fo*lish.

You fools have been putting the cart before the horse.

Another Fulani man from Daura, Katsina State by name Mr. Calistus Nwabueze Obi has been appointed as DG NIMASA by President Buhari.
Who got the message?
