thehomer:
This cleric must be a stupid fellow. How can he say the looting of billions of dollars from a poor country is just an excuse? Does he think Nigeria gets money by tithes? This man thinks that asking for international support in recovering stole funds is a statement of failure.

What a joker.

vhykeeytor:
Nothing can justify the invasion of any Nigerian's privacy and subsequent house arrest without any charges or warrant of arrest. It has never happened in Nigeria since the last 16 years. Now his passport is seized without a court order. It is barbaric and smacks of military mentality. If Sambo has broken any law, arrest him lawfully and charge him to court. Shikena. No Nigerian no matter who you are has the right to take laws into his own hands. Not even our President!

babajero:
. So why is tinubu still walking free.

barcanista:
This APC propaganda is just so annoying. Who is the source? What is the big deal in finding $40k in Sambo's home? Was he not preparing for Sallah feast? Is he a poor man? Is it not commensurate with his Salary? Is he not a former Colonel and NSA? Is he not entitled to rifle? This is propaganda that we shall address

neocortex:
Because the US placed an arms embargo on the NA.
As I alluded to in my last post illegality is subjective.
Do you know that the existence of Nigeria is illegal to both Boko haram and Biafran extremists ?

Agukagu:
Buhari has more daunting challenges than chasing opponents. It is a common knowledge that most Hausa/Fulani men keep money in cash. $40,000 (less than 10million Naira) is not up to what some traders or supermarket makes in a day. A service station can make this amount in a couple of hours. For God's sake we are talking of $0.04million. This can not fund a good shopping trip. Everybody is not a pauper. The amount in view can not buy Aisha's wrist watch.

The action of DSS is pure witch-hunt. Smell the coffee. Sambo's sin is that he was very prominent in the overthrow of Buhari's regime in 1985 and he was hard on boko boys as NSA.

If PMB wants to fight corruption he should go for the big fishes from whom we can recover substantial amount of money. Besides PMB should get busy with delivering dividends of democracy and fulfilling his campaign promises and leave petty issues of trying to get even with perceived opponents.

neocortex:
Who decides what is illegal ?

Any means , I repeat any means can be taken to tackle insurgency
If Boko haram can get their weapons through backdoor ,
what is wrong in NA doing the same ?
I guess you are one of those who stays very far away from boko haram conflict,
hence your indifference to the plight of the victims.

Only the living cares about the methods used innarms procurement.

hedonistic:
I don't see how thie "recovery" of 3 guns and a mere $40,000 adds any value or spice to the DSS invasion of his house. As a retired senior military officer and NSA for that matter, you would expect him to have guns for personal protection, so what? Then $40k is roughly N10 million. That can't even buy a good car these days; the pure water Toyota Prado that litters Abuja streets costs at least N15 million. Even many mistresses and high class ashawos in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja have that in cash or jewellery in their rooms, so big deal?

Tell us something more meaningful. If he embezzled billions of dollars, where is the evidence? Where is the money trail?

drss:
Three guns were found in his home, so what? Is he not a retired soldier? $40,000 found in his home: Well, that amount is a lot smaller compared to the $3 billion allegedly misappropriated by Dasuki.
But who cares? The zoo must fall.

izuch:
"Saturday Sun further gathered that the disburse­ment of over $3 billion USD already expended in the fight against Boko Ha­ram, was presided over by Dasuki. At a point in time, the funds were also alleg­edly used to finance the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) then especial­ly during the electioneering campaign. "

All the money spent in re-electing gej and the dude still lost, was it that pmb spent more?

neocortex:
Dasuki did his best for Nigeria in our fight against insurgents , he even went to an extreme length in getting arms for NA through the backdoor
when USA prevented Nigeria from getting weapons. It was his relentless effort to secure arms that led to the 6-week reclamation of all Nigeria's
territory previously head by insurgents.
He surely doesn't deserve being harassed.
However, if there is any credible evidence against him , he should be charged accordingly.

olalat:
Dnt mind them, some people hv lopesided society where illegality is widely embraced. Their own is jst mk money irrespective of d source.

ohenhen1:
The DSS people had a search warrant? How is this illegal, why is Fayose calling Buhari a dictator?

tope777:
My brother $40,000 is less than N9,000,000.

Agukagu:
$40,000 converted to Naira is still less than 10million. What is the big deal about it. PMB has more pressing work to do than witch-hunting opponents. His house is on fire and he is pursuing rats. This is over 100days since Buhari won the election and he is yet to show that he knows how to move the country forward.

sauceny:
They were alot of powerful men that has led this country before Gen Muhammadu Buhari...So,biting more than he can chew can only lead to his demise.

sunnyb0b0:
What is $40,000?

Poverty na bad disease.

sunnyb0b0:
Dude, I've kept $250,000 with me at home before. Nothing wrong with that as long as the money is legit. $40,000 is less than 9 million naira for Christ sake abd can't even pay a year's rent where Dasuki lives.

sunnyb0b0:
Smh! No wonder poverty persists in Nigeria. Must one live on his or her pay? Ever heard of investments? How about managing inheritance properly and multiplying the value over time?

I'm sorry but your post is typical of a lazy man. If that's the way you reason, I'm sorry for you and those unfortunate enough to learn under your tutelage.

chukwudi44:
Operation find incriminating evidence at all costs!!! Can you imagine the desperation.We are waiting for the dullard to try such bravada at our leaders in the east then he will understand we are not cowards who just online!!!! One thing we must give GEJ credit is his very high level of tolerance even when he was repeeatedly provoked by people like El-rufai and other inconsequentials like Japhet Omojuwa and their likes on twitter.Such acts of desperation and witchhunt was never observed throughout his tenure.

I just hope Buhari is not foolish enough to try such stunts with GEJ as even laying siege at his house at this moment would have dire security and economic consequences for these country.The entire east is already tense no thanks to Nnamdi Kanu and his Radio biafra

sukkot:
no. i am a celestial being from the andromeda galaxy

sukkot:
waste of resources. just cremate their body. stop wasting white sheets and wood for coffin. that white sheet can be used for bedsheet. and that soil looks loamy. you can plant some food on that soil instead of burying someone in it

Neyoor:
If PDP had probe the APC stalwarts then, just as APC are hunting PDP now. We will surely be left with few political looters now.


So, enough of irritating rants from the PDP.


Meanwhile, I dedicate this post to all my fellow muslim brothers and sisters celebrating Eid Mubarak 2day. May we be shower lots of blessings and joy on this day.

zicoraads:
MizMyColi...even though we support the PDP, I think it shouldn't be a choice that should inhibit our over all sense of right or wrong. I understand that supporting a particular cause might channel all our spirit and emotional strengths into that cause, I will still appeal that you also look at the arguments from the e-PDP supporters with a sense of 'there might be another side of the argument'.

I must admit that the conduct of certain people here in the run up to the 2015 election was both appalling and repulsive, I still think we should live above board and be seen to have done so.

I believe I am closer to the PDP than you are. I also benefited from the PDP led-government, and continue to do so. However, the truth must be told.

In your very first comment on this thread, you alluded to the fact that you wonder why Jonathan left Dasuki. Now that is the spirit. There are certain people in the previous regime that must be held accountable for their stewardship and Dasuki is one of them. Political leaning aside, Jonathan's handling of the Boko Haram issue was not good enough. The former President came on live TV to lament that certain elements who are sympathetic to the BH menace were in his government. Many years down the road and no one was either arrested or convicted. In as much as I believe the BH issue was partly fuelled by the North's 'born to rule' mentality, the President should have tackled it as he did some few weeks to the election.

Anyone who thinks that Dasuki was picked for his role in the coup that ousted Buhari in the 80's should think again. Under Dasuki, the army became a laughing outfit in Nigeria and other countries. The previous NSA didn't perform as badly as Dasuki, but the North protested for long and he was removed. But there was no protest against Dasuki, even though his tenure was worst. And this happened at a time when the defence budget became very huge. The only people who will bring up what happened in the 80's to try and defend Dasuki are those who don't have the interest of this country at heart.

If Jonathan is found wanting during his time as President, he should be made to face justice. Nothing stopped him from probing Obasanjo's time as President. Nigerians would have applauded him had he done so. This country is bigger than any individual. After Buhari leaves office, the incoming administration too would look into his time as President. No one is above the law!

aguiyi:
shame on you. how much is their salary in total compared to the allocation he received.

joseph1832:
Wait for me barcanista, am coming...

MODIFIED Now I don come.

Please answer me this, did Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan wake up one morning and cut his salary? Was it not the heighten tension that seized the country at that time when he removed subsidy from PMS on Jan 1 2012 that made him cut his salary 25%?.

So if Save Nigeria Group have not held the former President Jonathan by his balls would he have effected that pay cut? Just a reminder, if he was really 'the sacrificial president' as you put it, why on Earth, did he slash PHCN tariff by half, and removed 10 Naira from the price of PMS when he knew he was going to loose the 2015 presidential election?.

Dude, never compare a noble man with a gentleman, they are two different type of individual.

And to those who praise Nairaland's political prostitute, I must say that you all are narrow minded. Your inability to see things the way it truely is blinds you from seeing the truth.
