Someone should be talking to us by now after this report

To be honest and dispassionately I loved the man Sanusi, former CBN governor, for his courage and audacity and temerity when he blew the whistle that so $49,000,000,000.00 was either missing, misappropriated or outrightly stolen from Nigerians by a few corrupt gov't officials at the NNPC and Petroleum Resources ministry.

Quickly I brought out my scientific calculator and with an exchange rate of #160 = $1, I arrived at #7,840,000,000,000.00(seven trillion, eight hundred and fourty billion naira) and I wept for this country when I imagined how many almajiri model schools, hospitals, roads, power infrastructures, university hostels and lecture halls we could have built; I concluded that Sanusi should be given the award of whistle blower and the most courageous man of the year.

I supported all Nigerians, CSOs , other Groups and the APC for a thorough probe and even went as far as calling some people( names withheld) names too.

I was one of such one who never believed in the SENATE PROBE as it was headed by same thieving politicians and concluded that nothing scathing and indicting will come out of it and as such when PWC started making the rounds, I was elated and expectant that NNPC can never come out alive and remain same again( with PWC I expected heads to roll).

So, I welcomed the announcement of PRICE WATERHOUSE COOPER, PWC( a better and more reputable international firm) to investigate the alledged fraud by the NNPC and the Petroleum ministry and for once shame the FG cover-ups on the NNPC at the expense of Nigerians.

After PWC concluded their investigation and submitted their report to the President where they said that no $49Billion was missing but that the NNPC still has some $1.48Billion to remit to the federation account left me with ill feelings about Sanusi and others. I had been misled? Was the question I asked myself. So I was expecting a statement of rebuttal from Sanusi, APC and others to allay my fears but none came.

Days past now and I have not heard from Sanusi, CSOs, other Groups and the APC denounce or refute or reject or issue a statement to the contrary on the PWC report on our alledged missing billions of dollars and now, it is going into weeks; soon months and nothing.

Then, may I conclude thus: that Sanusi and APC and others have accepted the PWC report that no $49Billion is missing.

Considering the tension this generated in the country that led to Sanusi's suspension and the name-calling from the APC and others, portraying Nigeria in bad light in the international community, especially the President, I see no other reason why Sanusi Lamido Sanusi and others, ESPECIALLY THE APC should not apologise to ME and other Nigerians who were hoodwinked and deceived and might have experience one form of trauma for this.

So when Prof. Soludo came with his missing trillions story, I simply jettisoned it and moved on because....

Please Chief can you help me too?

Will appreciate it too.

We also have to consider the resources at their disposal if we are to decide without sentiments. The price of oil was the highest during gejs regime and I can't seem to find any massive infrastructure. IMO, I think all our past leaders including the current one are mediocres. But I will still give it to one of our past leaders. make i do my research first.

Please do not derail and BE OBJECTIVE - do you know that #20,000 in the 80s is over #1,000,000 today?

What am saying is that cost things were soft then - meaning if they had little resources at their disposal, they could have still delivered if they wanted to.

Do not compare apple with orange.

DO YOU KNOW THAT former Rivers state governor Peter Odili received #708,000,000.000.00(BILLION) in his 8yrs WHILE CURRENT governor Chibuike Amaechi has so far received over #2,000,000,000,000.00(TRILLION). Same with Tinubu and Fashola.

My point: cost of governance, building 1km road, buying planes, railways, funding education and health sectors, funding the police and military and civil service, years ago have all increased and so is OUR population today.

Whatever we received then was enough for us as a country or state to develope at our own pace but I guess corruption, nepotism, inefficiency, etc is the bane of our development .

I Bought 3cubes of sugar for 50kobo years ago but how much today? Coke? Didn't buy choko milo sweets then and now?

Ok

So how about now with the elections around the corner; who is sticking to the ethics of the profession?

san316:
Let them not have a debate. they should take themselves to court so that the person found guilty will be jailed.

Hahahaha

All the heightened tension in the land is now calm thanks to Jega for the new date.

I asked my Corper friend in Benue about this and he said same thing is being experienced there too.

BPs are now coming down since the postponement.

I am really feeling the impact of this postponement or are you saying you are not?

I am tempted to agree with you but GEJ can't do what they did to the office of the CBN Governor to the INEC Chairman's office especially in this precarious times.

INEC has more vested interests than CBN.

I agree with you but do you think politicians care about our interests?

Let me cite an example: during protests, do you see their children, wives, relatives on the street?

Descartes:
We are used to such craps "Only 2/3 of the Senate can remove Sanusi as CBN Governor". The question is "where is Sanusi now?I laugh in Cantonese...

That is true and good point of REF.

Would prefer Jega is left alone to finish what he started but if he is found wanting and compromised, then he has no business at the helms of INEC.

Let's forget about Yaradua's death or the day GEJ was sowrn in for a moment, when did he start acting as President and how is the period between then and now 6 years?
I have thrown up this challenge before and none of you apologists have ever taken it up.
You just wan the deception to go on unchallenged.

Hmmm! Used to think its 6years since that is what some of us have been fed with long a time now.

However, I have decided to do the calculation myself after seeing this thread.

Assuming we calculate from GEJ's acting days to date:
Feb 2010 - Feb 2015 = 5years today. Is my maths good or am I wrong?

Please do your own maths too let's confirm.

OluBendel:
Oh realy?? It is not in your position to tell who is brought in or not brought in, but it is in your place to arrange press conference on how APC hacked into the Servers that even INEC confirmed were offline! Mtcheew!

Hahaha

espn:
Lies. They will never get info when boko haram wants to strike innocent citizens on a normal day. Election will hold boko haram or no boko haram.

Ah ah my brother! Do not drag us through that road nah. They have been warning us about several attacks before this, and taking note of this one won't bite me especially this period - only tells me to be extra careful.

ESPECIALLY FOR OUR BROS AND SISs IN THE NORTH

berem:
I just hope this is not a plot to scare northerners from voting in their region.
If true,the FG should provide security. As simple as that.

It will be well that day even in the north. No to electoral violence and bombing before, during and after the elections.

Secure your polling units against 'would-be bombers' by being extra VIGILANT and report stolen PVC cases to security agencies.

Young women beware of your PVCs against theft before THE D DAY

The Federal Government has raised alarm
today over plans by the Boko Haram sect to
attack polling units during this month’s general
election.

It said the sect has perfected plans to
collect, buy or steal the Permanent Voters
Cards (PVCs) of female voters, give them to
female suicide bombers to pave way for them
to carry out their deadly activities during the
elections.

The Coordinator of the National Information
Centre, Mr. Mike Omeri, stated this while
briefing journalists alongside security officers
at the centre in Abuja. He urged Nigerians,
especially female voters to be mindful of their
PVCs to ensure that they don’t get into the
hands of bad elements.

“By this information, therefore,
Nigerians, especially female voters, are
warned to remain vigilant and also
jealously guard and preserve their PVCs
to avoid the possibility of their being lost
to these bad elements who will put them
to untoward uses,” he said.

Speaking on the 7,500 African Union-backed
multinational force, Omeri said the force is
composed of troops from countries in the
Lake Chad Basin Commission areas.

The Department of State Services (DSS) says
it has invited Mujaheed Asari-Dokubo, an
ex-Niger Delta militant, over his recent
inflammatory statements.

Asari-Dokubo alongside some ex-militants have
threatened to unleash violence on the country
if President Goodluck Jonathan, who hails from
the region, is not re-elected into office.

But speaking in Abuja on Thursday, Marilyn
Ogar, spokeswoman of the security agency, said
that the DSS has invited Dokubo on several
occasions.

“Asari-Dokubo has been brought into the office
of the DSS, a couple of times. It is not in the
position of the office to begin to tell you who
has been brought in or who has not been
brought in,” Ogar said.

“The operational procedures that we take after
we have issued out warnings, we do not make
them public. We still stand by our words that
whoever in any way would want to interfere or
interrupt the peace that prevails, he or she
would definitely be dealt with.”

Some Nigerians, including elderstatesman,
Theophilus Danjuma, have recently condemned
the pronouncements of the ex-militants on the
election, calling on security agencies to call
them to order.

They will continue with their lies against God's people since it did not start 10years ago.


Always ask this question: AMONG THE FIRST CENTURY EARLY CHRISTIANS APOSTLES WHICH OF THEM PARTICIPATED IN THE WORLD'S POLITICAL AFFAIRS-Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Timothy, Philip and the rest.

Even the scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ withdrew when the people wanted to make him king( Matthew 6:15), so why did he not accept to be made king? Why?

Please also READ UP DANIEL 2:44 and find out the prophecy that awaits these present political leaders and why any support to this present world leaders runs foul of the new heavens and new earth that christians await(2Peter 3:9,13).

Know also that as long as humans continue to look up to their political leaders rather than Jehovah God for direction, the more problems and complain they get because man was not created to lead, guide or direct himself( Jeremiah 10:23).

Did God not tell us not to put our trusts in these people to whom salvation does not belong? please READ UP PSALMS 146 3-5.

Jehovah's Witnesses observe Jesus' words to
his followers: “You are no part of the world,
but I have chosen you out of the world.”—
John 15:19.

Some who used to preach politics have
changed after making a careful study of the
Bible. An Italian politician who was a member
of Catholic Action, a church-controlled
organization, said:

“I went on to politics,
feeling that a person should contribute
actively to the political and social
development of society.” After resigning as
city mayor in order to preach God’s Kingdom
as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, he explained
why the efforts of sincere people in politics
fail.

“The world is what it is, not because
decent people have not tried to better social
conditions, but, rather, because the sincere
efforts of the few have been overcome by the
wickedness of the many.”

CONCUSION: the only solution to mankind's problem is God's kingdom and not any political leader today or tomorrow( Matthew 6:33). The world is passing away...including the nobles and political leaders...but ONLY THOSE WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN JEHOVAH will live forever( 1 John 2:17; PSALMS 37:29).
