The candidate that came second. A different decision might mean losing the elections at the Tribunal, and handing over the post to PDP...

A word is enough for the wise.

If this was in Nigeria, SSS people will surround the VP and block people's views.

Great news.

Hamid Ali Resumes At Customs Headquarters

Against reports in various papers (excluding LEADERSHIP) that the recently appointed Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Hamid Ali, is yet to resume office, the new CG arrived the Customs Headquarters unannounced at 11: 30am with a couple of aides and headed straight for his office without the knowledge of the Acting CG, John Atte.

Decked in a brown kaftan, Col. Ali arrived the Headquarters at 11: 30am and left at 11:52am, spending about 30 minutes. It was some officers who informed the Acting CG that Col. Ali had arrived and he promptly went to receive the new CG who was headed to the office of the former CG, Dikko Inde.

At the office, Col. Ali was said to have looked around after which he left the headquarters at 11:52.

Speculations are rife that Ali, appointed on Thursday along with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Babachir David Lawal, Chief of Staff Abba Kyari, Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Immigration Service Kure Martin Abeshi and two others, with effect from August 27, may not be keen on the appointment they were offered.

Ali has been Buhari’s Chief of Staff for nearly five years, until Buhari won the presidential elections in April and took office as president.

He and others that had worked for Buhari, either as a retired army general or a candidate running for office, have remained close to Buhari, even when he had moved into the Presidential Villa.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has evacuated all 13 exotic vehicles seized from the former Head, Ondo State Oil Producing Area Development Commission, Mr. Debo Ajimuda, and kept at the premises of the state Police Command, Alagbaka, Akure.

It will be recalled that multi-million naira vehicles were seized by the anti-graft agency in March, 2012 and put in the custody of the State Police Command sequel to the allegation of N540m fraud levelled against the former OSOPADEC boss.

Ajimuda, who was arrested immediately after the seizure of his property by the EFCC, was later arraigned on June 2012 at the Akure Federal High Court with four other accused persons on a 13-count charge but they were later released on bail.

A source at the police command told our correspondent on Monday that the EFCC officials came to the command last week, with a letter from the EFCC’s headquarters in Abuja to remove all the vehicles from the command

Another source explained that the evacuation of the vehicles might not be unconnected with the pending case of the alleged N540m fraud levelled against the former OSOPADEC boss at the High Court.

Some of the exotic cars evacuated include a Toyota Tundra jeep with a registration number ABUJA FY 195 ABC; a Benz 4matic 2011 model, with registration number LAGOS DK 777 FST; [b]Toyota Corolla [/b]with registration number ABUJA HJ 805 ABC; a Toyota Solara, ABUJA EU 777 ABJ; and a Toyota Venza; Benz 500, registration number DK 777FST; and G.Wagon Benz.

In his reaction to the development, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Wole Ogodo, confirmed the released of the vehicles in their custody to the EFCC, saying it was released following the request of the anti-graft agency.

The PPRO explained, “We are not in charge of the matter, the vehicles were just kept in our custody for safety The EFCC brought a letter that we should release the vehicles they kept in our custody to them, and we did.”

Ogodo however denied having information about the purpose of the evacuation of the vehicles. He said, “I don’t know why they evacuated the cars. It is the EFCC that can explain that. “

Thumbs up to him... Morale booster... Atleast he can jog with his colleagues unlike his predecessors with potbellies...

Let this translate to action on the battlefield...

erico2k2:
As in selling the power station outright and also the suppliers of gas should be made private. That way the power plants would t be short of gaS

Agreed... If you liberalize the gas market, private sector takes over... But govt should provide funding (low interest) for investment in gas infrastructure... Also, only the NIPP power plants are yet to be transferred to private owners...

I dont understand what you mean...

We have failed our children... The day they rise up against us, we go suffer...

What can be learnt at a school like this

I appreciate the VP moving around, but these trips are getting out of hand... If he can travel to commission a factory outside Nigeria which really adds no value to Nigeria, then he should be going to commission factories in Nigeria that provide jobs for Nigerians...

Are you sure it is his personal jet Could be leased or shared with other owners...

Anyway, make i carry my own go mechanic... E dey do brake and quench...

erico2k2:
Good idea but me and you know that might never happen as the powers who controls them are bigger than the govt of the day unofficially.

I know, but the FG selling its shares, and then listing them in the stock market is easier than you think...

MizMyColi:
I don't know if a topic such as this has been discussed on here, but I'm piqued as to the reason I, and many others (I'm sure) now have almost constant power supply. Did NEPA (sic) forget where they usually switch off the light? (Pun intended).

I would like to glean from the insights of those who have first hand knowledge on what went wrong earlier, and what is going rightly this time.

Your views are welcome.

Benefits of privatization manifesting as private sector are more efficient than govt... No strikes to interfer with gas supply...

More needs to be done by the govt regarding gas supply (reform and liberalize the sector), and transmission (more investment, separate transmission from systems operations and market operations, free them from the control of the minister, and list them on the stock market)...

Muhammadu Buahri's 30 year Incredible Come Back Journey To Presidency.


Well this is my first in this series of come back heroes. I'll start with the present president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He was dethroned via military coup in 1985 and detailed for 3 years. Then he made a 30 year comeback journey to the throne.

Moral lesson, if you consistently improve, and appreciate the power of #team you will succeed.
Here, watch it in pictures and be inspired.

FYI.....Terrorists, be it BH or any others are NOT MUSLIMS but perpetuating their evils under the guise of Islam.

I guess BH and ISIS and Al-Qaeda are made up of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Traditionalists, etc... Like someone said earlier, the reason why BH is still alive is because the leaders in the north are doing nothing about it, aside from blaming FG everyday...

The former Chief Security Officer of former president Jonathan, Mr Gordon Obua is reportedly lying critically ill at the National hospital. According to friends of the former CSO who shared his photo on Facebook, Mr Obua has continued to suffer both physically and mentally and has been in great pain since the day he returned home on July 21st after being detained by the DSS. They say his abdomen is swollen and he has great difficulty moving around.

According to his family members, they are already making plans to fly him overseas for a more accurate evaluation and treatment as advised by his family physician. Mr Gordon was arrested by DSS officials as part of measures by the new administration to probe officials who worked under GEJ's government. He was released on July 21st.
