Great fight....I just wish PMB could channel this kind of energy towards our economy also, seriously our debt as a nation is on the ugly side of trillions of dollars, the prices of goods as gone up due to the present exchange rate of $1=N300. Even if we recover this money from Dasuki and co. At the rate we are Snail balling the impact might not be felt atall economically, devoting 70%-80% of his time just to chase corrupt politicians will not help him to fulfill his numerous campaign Promises

Your economy doesn't require any energy to run as it run itself through the price of crude oil. If any energy at all is required, it's the energy to make sure that public money remains public money and not shared by few individuals like the last government. Japanese economy is currently in it 3rd recession in 5 years, Chinese economy has dropped 4% in the last one year and Buhari is not their president.
Naira will recover the day billion they stole from the treasury which they used to buy up every dollar and hoarded in their houses is recovered.

If there was corruption in Nigeria during Shagari's regime, what do we have now? Erosion ... As far as I know Shehu Shagari's regime was the best back then, it was democratic in nature.. Before those sagas overthrew his regime via a military coup led by Sani Abacha on Dec .31, 1983 or whoever the militant was

They no even let the man rule for long, of which Nigeria would have been a better place...

The clash between Awolowo and Akintola divided the party into factions..
Awolowo who was the leader of the AG Party, decided to contest for a legislative seat at the federal level with the aim of becoming the first Prime minister in Nigeria, conceded the office of the Regional Premier to Akintola who was his deputy, unfortunately for baba Awolowo, he lost at the center..
Trouble started over who was to lead the government in the Western region, whether na the premier or national leader of AG...
To the best of my knowledge, that was what caused their clash which led to the declaration of state of emergency in the region by the Federal Government

It's either you were yet unborn during Shagari's NPN government or you had been in coma and just woke up.

WOCKHARDI:
I don't support corruption.
But my question is : When is EFCC going to open APC's can of worms and or skeleton cupboards?

Whenever they like. That should be non of your concern. When armed robbers in Aba are apprehended, you never asked when those in Okitipupa will be apprehended before Aba robbers are dealt with?
The reason these rogues are bold enough to be even having an opinion was based on the strength they get from comments like yours. But if they perceived that everyone is against them and what they had been alleged to have done including their own family, their whole arrogant attitude will change and they will be pleading for mercy and forgiveness. Even when SDP people were bold enough to admit that they collected N100m but vowed not to return. In a society where stealing is a crime, they will be lynched by the masses. When PDP or whoever returns to power, if ever, let them fight corruption as they sees fit. The only people complaining are the rogues themselves and their ignorant supporters who cannot forget about politics and tribalism to recognize their real enemy.

maestroferddi:
Tribalism is the elephant in the room that will keep bedevilling this contraption called Nigeria.

Even the blind can see that Buhari is pushing the nation close to the precipice.

How will this country forge ahead as a united in the future when APC leaves office tomorrow and another party comes to power.

Does the ignorant crowd willing Buhari to continue with tyranny and repression consider that should the opposition win power in the nearest future, Nigeria will most likely become history since there would be retaliation from the victims of the current persecution?

When was the last time you mourn about the so called tyranny over petty thieves awaiting trials over years at prisons all over Nigeria?
*Instead of having issues with Buhari, a decent person should be focusing his anger on the thieves. I really don't get you guys. It goes to show how corruption has eaten into the fabric of Nigeria society that a decent person should have an atom of sympathy for alleged rogue but calling the perceived sheriff name due to some useless party and tribal leaning.

Shortyy:
These idiots are only concerned about stolen money while the country itself is already in shambles. Fighting corruption while they are the head of corruption

The country is in shambles because of the stolen money.There is no point giving your car a good body make over when the engine had been stolen. Find the stolen engine first before anything, if not, it will be effort in futility.

charlydot:
Why is it that this coruption is going one sided...

Who cares if it's going half sided. What is important is that it is going at all, unlike before when thieves are given federal contracts, willy nilly presidential pardon and national honours. No government will get everything right. When the next perfect government come, let that one finish what the present imperfect one has started.
Not doing anything is not an option.

dunkem21:
Which Federal high court


Is there a court in this country ..


Shame to all Nigerian judges .. ! ..

Shame on you and all supporters of corruption. If you are sane, you should be mad on men who has stolen your future and present.

cescky:



You sound confused and evidently chauviniist bigot..... Bokoharam started under obasanjo.....he he "muderd" their learder, which is akin to cutting a tree branch and not expecting it to grow....fyi the north used bokoharam is a political strategy to fight jonathan, google is your friend. Afterall your change agent is the same person that declared that" war on bokoharam is war agaisnt the north.

Thanks for the compliment. Am proud to be a factual chauvinistic bigot.

tempest01:


and you are a ''biafran''. if you are ''eliminated'' due to your differences, hope there will be no issue.

Arrest and prosecute the people fermenting trouble, caught with arms, blocking roads and running parallel government (in a court of law). Not trying to ''eliminate'' them.

I don't know what to say, because you are not making sense. Sorry.

Obidikejr:


I see your profile picture, I think I understand now, you can't see anything good in this current administration or the party through which it rose to power. I am Igbo too, proudly. Fact is, I can't put my life in the hands of someone who has a foreign passport, whose family all reside abroad, what happens if he deserts us? Let's say am in with you guys.. It pains me to say this, I rather live in a country where their is hope for a better future than a country where hoping is a torture to your conscious being. If my people learn to love themselves then a sovereign state if actualized will be a force to reckon with, Love. Go see the present state of the Eastern people, you are left to wonder if governors take care of their people atall, that's why we are scattered everywhere In the world in millions, there's nothing back home bro! Just the old still struggling for land and the like and ready to kill if need be. I can't live in a land filled with hatred, jealousy, backbiting, inter/intra family wars etc from my own people and see hope in the future, so is true with my people as of today, then what happens when we live together as country men, I fear what will become of us. I speak out of experience.. I see hope in this country Nigeria, give it time bro, things go better. We live in the 21st century, countries are harnessing the advancement in science and technology to better their lives, we need to look ahead.

God bless Nigeria.

If am honest, I have no idea what you are talking about.

cktheluckyman:
Olisa Metuh is a true son of Igboland!! I like his bold and unwavering spirit!! Buhari's compromised EFCCC have met their match in him!!

The man would make a mess of these fools in court!! Let the case begin

Am I really missing something? As an Igbo man, I feel angry when I read mindless comments like this. Metuh true son of Igboland and bold in what sense? The idiot in custody has just incriminated himself and Jonathan with the nonsense he just vomitted. Where did Jonathan get N400m to give him for an assignment? Jonathan is public servant on a monthly salary and Metuh is a private citizen, so what is their relationship all about that he should carried an assignment for the government in cash outside budget implementation?
Igbo culture is abhorrent to stealing of any sort and despised thieves in all shapes or form. Metuh based on what he has admitted by himself of doing is a disgrace to Igboland and abomination. In the ancient times, he would had be banished to the evil forest where he will commit suicide and rot away without the benefit of a burial.
Pinheads like you should desist in defecation of Igboland and its culture because of your mindless politics of PDP and APC. People like you are not Ndigbo or knows what Igboland represents.
After all we knew now, some idiots are still following rogues that has stolen your meaningless futures and that of your family just because of politics. How silly can some people be. Some of this generation is totally damned and bereft of any moral decency.

It may be good for his health anyway to lose some weight and more food for the unfed.

The figures sounds about right. No landslide or seaslide but a reasonable winning and losing figures unlike in the past when 99% of registered voters were supposed to have voted and the winner taking 95% of it all.
Considering the incumbency factor, ex president factor, all state/federal assembly and senators being PDP and only few months ago they got almost 100% of the vote in the presidential election, the other parties should be proud of what they have achieved and congratulate the winner.

monex:


APC got 139 in Ogbia LGA which is GEJ LGA not 0

unless you are comparing a polling unit to a LGA.

So why is 139 acceptance to you for a local government? Who decides what should be the acceptance figure?

openmine:

Yes and thats because apart from the voters who were meant to cast their votes,you also have the party members and loyalists of PDP...are they saying these people didnt cast their votes?
If thats the case,then it means no election took place in those units conducted yesterday...

It's not automatic that they will vote for their supposed party against their personal choice. Remember the 16 is greater than 19 incident. Didn't some of the members promised to vote certain way? And where did they actually voted in a secret ballot?

Obidikejr:


Lol my comments pained you o brother.. Seems you don't know what's been going on in your country since 2011 lemme give you a hint. 2011 and 2016 has 5yrs bw and within this five years there has been a massive turn of events in politics and Nigeria as a whole. 2011 and today are never the same, PDP should go and win katsina today and I will get your point bro. Nothing wrong upgrading yourself in Nigeria politics a bit before you start showing where you are from on this forum. LoL .. Happy New year.

Educate yourself first.

Obidikejr:
tellin my family last night that apc should just let go of bayelsa. i mean its the homestate of the x president who is a strong supporter of pdp. whether apc likes it or not they cant win there and even if they do pdp will say it was tweaked. aside that the people of bayelsa will vote for the pdp candidate out of sentiment tradin their hope for better livelihood because honestly with what i have read and saw on news media over the years dickson didnt empark on any sound project for the state and failed to continue and maintain those done by sylva during his time. U see? there lies another problem holdin this nation back, favoritism! now no more religious or tribal but political party and you want to live in a country like the US Or Canada With That Kind Of ThinkiN. we have a long way to go. i pray my gchildren witness a more civilised nigeria, because this generation is not behavin like one

Here am I thinking that it democracy through a secret ballot process, not an award.
In 2001 George W Bush defeated Al Gore in his home state of Tennessee and Clinton's home state of Arkansas. Nothing wrong educating yourself a bit before you start confusing your family. By the way Jonathan's name isn't on the ballot paper. In 2011 it was the PDP that win the governorship in Katsina despite Buhari.

ThankGodEdeh:
Bayelsa is PDP and PDP is Bayelsa.

I heard similar about Kogi.

oyinkinola:
....Look, igbo feeling marginalised and seek separation, the leader of the project realised the project is failed dumbed the project and made u-turn to nigerian identity, but igbo disagree with his view and vow to continue eternally, also today igbo hanged on to the destroyed umbrela of pdp eternally, even though they know very well that nigeria will never voted pdp forever, if democracy is a game of number and the north and the west will never adopted pdp, how would igbo manage to get into power with a dying party? and if APC take igbo as candidate do you think igbo would voted for him?
Until when igbo knows he is either God or the son of God and learnt not to play God and accept to be human being like others he will never ceased to be felt marginalised in nigeria!

Who is this person called Igbo you are so obsessed about? Get a life of your own. As I don't think that you had one.

oyinkinola:
.....it's all about violent, people love to live where there life is save, money is secondary!.........even some say igbo is a human-eater! it's shocking! i don't believe that and i ask my friends who were igbo and they said "nothing like that!" also one day i read on news that a restaurant was closed in S/E and the owner arrested because they cook human meat........it's sad to hear!

unfortunately you are not even worth eating, even to a hungry wild dog.

bigtt76:
When will PMB review Farouk's bribery scandal?

Whenever he does, your next question will be when will he review another. It's step by step. If those before him had done something or even anything, he will have little to review today.
So, join and support the war against corruption rather asking stu.pid questions of when and will.

AustineE1:

you dont expect to see those names,they always work hard for their money,we all know the two region that has constantly benefited from ill gotten wealth and has always conspired to squander our patrimony as a nation,hence the quest for one Nigeria.

How foolish can some of you get? How many people form their company's name from their normal name? How can you tell the tribe of the owner based on the name of a company? This is so silly. Corruption in Nigeria has no tribe or language, neither does any particular tribe dominated it. They are all equally in it.

zico530:
Waiting for the final result. I see PDP burying APC in Bayelsa State.

The results doesn't look like buring anyone to me, most of you made us to believe. It shows a very keenly contested contest, unlike in the past where one candidate get numbers of vote large that the population of the state dead and alive

Daughterzion:
Dont judge so you wont be judged. Leave it fnr God to handle

Next time you saw a child crossing a dangerous road, don't say anything because you don't want to judge. Telling someone the truth isn't judging but you have the same audacity to talk about politicians with you judging them.

manup:

But do u realise APC scored about half of PDPs score in GEJ LGA?

The two candidates are from Bayelsa and there is no local government in Bayelsa known as GEJ LGA.

quixotic:


pdp scored over 6000 votes in all the units of brass lga.apc scored over 21000. this was stated by inec @ the collation centre yesterday. lies are totally different from propaganda. you can confirm from inec website.

There you go. This days with social media, people believe anything and run to town with it.

franudi:
Brass is a local govt while Gej is a unit which is very small.

What is the difference. Unit makes a local government. If it happens in a unit,why can't it happened in local government. If both candidates are to run independently, how many votes do you think they will gather?

openmine:

Gej's was just one unit in ogbia where APC scored 0 not the ENTIRE Ogbia result...that of brass was a collation of ALL the UNITS in brass where PDP scored 5....
how are they the same?? haba...smh

Why is it an abomination or impossible that a candidate got 5 votes?

@op I will ignore whatever you intent could be but I will answer you question honestly. First it is a myth and stereotype to assert that non Igbos do not reside in huge numbers across Igbo towns and cities.
There are a huge non Igbo population in cities like Enugu, Umuahia, port Harcourt, Aba, Owerri, Orlu, Onitsha and Nnewi to mention a few. They are mainly artisans and the rest are civil servants in places like Enugu and Port Harcourt were they work for the small federal establishments like the prison, police, customs and universities.
Trying to measure others with the Igbos in terms of traveling would amount to exercise in futility because it's natural for an Igbo to travel because he loved it, not because where he is heading is heaven.
It's like asking why non Nigerian Africans do not live in Nigeria, when it's obvious that they do but lived very low profile life and Nigerians on the other hand are very comfortable announcing their presence wherever they are across Africa.
When you go deeper outside artisans and civil servants as to why non Igbos do not settle in Igboland? The answer has to do with lack of incentive to do so in terms infractratures necessary for conducting business and investment like sea or dry ports, international airports, lack foreign missions and consulates. No federal establishment had its main or head office in Igboland. Just to name a few: Federal ministries, customs, Power stations, Dams, police, army, navy, air force, road safety, postal services, immigration, telecom, refinery, petrol chemicals. I can go on till tomorrow and non of these agencies has strong root worth mentioning across Igboland and these are things that attracts people or investors and may I add no train lines or railway services since 1940s in Enugu, Okigwe and Umuahia that transport live animals from the north. Terrible federal roads or lack of it, a dead trap Niger bridge.
So with all these absentees, who in their right mind would like to come and live if not only resilient and dogged Igbo people who are use to coping under conditions others cannot bear for a week in Nigeria?

Anything meaningful in Igboland is down to community efforts, generosity of wealthy individuals and lately the state governments since 1999.
The second reason is the cost of living in igboland is very high. For instance, a piece of land in Onitsha can get you an equivalent of three in other parts of Nigeria because traditionally no Igbo man ever sales his land easily even if he is poverty ridden because he believed that one day he will be rich enough to need it and if not his children will one day need it. Lol
It's a very competitive society that non Igbos find it impossible to exist. That caused many Igbo themselves to relocate not mainly to other parts of Nigeria but across the continent and made it uneasy for many non indigenous people to settle because how on earth will a civil servant be able to afford even a flat to live in a typical Igbo town when relying solely on his salary?

Every Igbo civil servant that I know, who is a civil servants treats their salariy as an extra earnings or pocket money and had never rely on it as their main source of income as they had other businesses. Many non Igbo do not do the same.
Finally, language in Igboland it's either Engli-Igbo or English. Most non Igbos has no interest in learning the local language. I know a Yoruba man from a local mosque in Orlu, who had lived there for more than 50 years but do not speak Igbo. The first thing an Igbo man will do is to learn your language, eat your food, wear your clothes, take your name for his kids. How many Yoruba or northerners has their child an Igbo first or middle name?
I always say that vast majority of Nigerian do know nothing about Nigeria especially Igbo man or Igboland because they are blinded by inherent stereotypes of what they heard or were taught, rather than reality.

cescky:



You sound confused and evidently chauviniist bigot.....

Keep telling your self that. The reality tells another story. I wasn't born yesterday, I knew Nigeria very well. Tell me why Boko is still fighting if it was because of Jonathan? Why are they bombing mosques? Killing their fellow Moslem because of Jonathan?

minwafor:
I am surprised that a well respected Sheikh as Sheikh Gumi could make this statement at this time. It confirms that my fear that the massacre of the Shiites was a well-orchestrated plan by Sunni Muslims to eliminate a rival minority Muslim faction. The silence of the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs about the whereabout of the Zakzaky also affirms it all. Anyway they(the Sunnis) should know that, 'they that sew the wind shall reap the whirlwind'.

Well respected? There is nothing respectful about him and his late father. Because of Buhari, suddenly, someone you don't even know is well respected. Lol
