This is while Saraki is getting over N60m a year as Senator and ex-Governor.

He still looks like a crook even in death.

This is PDP and GEJ's offer to Nigerians:

Zuma and Saraki show what African leaders are like.

Wow, I did not know that this Ikoyi-Lekki link bridge built during the period Fashola was the governor of Lagos state is this awesome. The drone that flew around really brought out its dimensions. I think Nigeria is growing little by little. I know we can grow faster if the right things were done.

What did it find?

Or you just wasted our time like a dunce?

So PDP and GEJ did not pay marketers from August 2014 till they left office is why we had this problem?

They were busy chopping the money?

From this, one can easily calculate that Saraki gets over N60m a year from public funds as a Senate President and Ex-Governor (who is still being paid the same salary as a Governor).

How much does an average Kwaran make a year? Is it even up to N700K?

And this is a man that is already worth over $70m (N22bn) just based on his non-Panama declared assets. He is still milking the public funds of N60m a year?

So he is collecting salary pension as a governor and also collecting salary as a Senator?

This guy is a complete crook.

What the bank decides to label a payment is not the headache of the state government after all it has no access to Saraki's bank statements to know how it was labeled. What matter should be what does its own vouchers and supporting documents call the payments and if there is a law that authorized that payment

I am quite sure it would not be a bank that labels a payment into an account, it would be the depositor.

Banks don't label money paid in as they guess. If they have to, it would be generic.

2n2k:
If the law provides it, no offence has been committed. In NNPC, your pension is reviewed anytime the salaries of active workers are reviewed. So the pension at a point will surpass your salary that you retired upon. In any case, like I said earlier, the pension laws for governors are different from General pension law

That is what normally happens in states too. When state civil servants salaries are increased, pensions are reviewed.

There is no explanation for his increases in short months and the infrequencies & gaps in payments to him.

2n2k:
The question that should be asked is what is efcc trying to prove by bring up the issue of these payments and in what context was it brought up. According to the report, efcc only said that these payments stopped coming into Gtb and Access bank accounts. They did not say that they confirmed from Kwara government if it stopped making payments or whether Saraki started using another bank account to receive the payments. What if Saraki donated the fund and instructed the government to be paying the donees directly? What if he had benevolently asked the state government to suspend paying him until the economy of the state improves because he is now the number 3 citizen? What if the state government had begged him to defer receiving the pension until it is financially stable? So many ifs.

No, the question that should be asked is why is this crook drawing unexplained money from public funds, not why EFCC is raising the issue.

If Saraki has any 'what if' as you tried to excuse for him, let him tell the court through one of his 80 lawyers.

2n2k:
Even if this were so, as I said above, it depends on what purpose efcc intended to achieve in bringing up the matter. Note that this is CCT not a regular court. The CCT will only concern itself on whether the income was declared by Saraki not whether he got it illegally. If the tax authority takes you to court that you failed to pay tax on income from illegal source, the court will only enforce the tax or jail you for evading tax not convict you for involvement in criminal act because tax authority will not be the prosecuting agency for such

Saraki has 80 lawyers working for him, if he feels there is any issue/evidence raised that has no relevance to the trial then I am sure one of tthem knows how to raise an objection.

Lets summarise the holes in this Kwara State lies:

1) Why is pension being paid to a man that is yet to retire? A pension comes from a pot to support people that have retired from work.

2) Why is Kwara state government paying people's pension? Should that not come from a pension administrator?

3) Why is the pension, being paid, sometimes labelled as "salary" in the bank statements?

4) How come the "pension" or "salary" is more than his previous salaries as a Governor and always increasing? If it is being increased, will the percentage increase not be applicable to other Kwara pensioners?

5) Why was the "pension" payments stopped in August 2015 and has not been paid since then? Did Saraki die that it had to stop?


These show the monies are just casual withdrawals by Saraki from Kwara State budget. Maybe he is claiming back money he spent on putting his cronies in position in the state.

StepTwo:
if you stay in govt for 10yrs nd above you are entitled to pension,Bro

And you point is what?

He was governor for 10 years?

Those that spend 10 years in government are entitled to pension at what age?

Those that spend 10 years in government are entitled to pension while still working full time?

StepTwo:
yes, if you are entitled to it and left in due time.

people leave govt to work in private sectors and still get their pension from govt.

Which people?

And how do you become entitled to it?

StepTwo:
so, is he still working as Governor?

And your point is?

So If I leave my employment Glo and start working for Dangote, I can start getting my pension from Glo?

StepTwo:
no sir

When you have a job working 9-5 from Monday to Friday or over 35 hours a week, you are in full-time employment. This is even if this employment is only a contract for a few days, weeks, months or years.

haildeji:
Lol this argument by the Kiara state government is just silly to say the least...

I was following the updates and what EFCC presented and the Court adopted were exhibits of transactions from his account which bold states salary for so so month and not pension... Also it's funny that almost every month the alleged pension kept raising.

Also let's say it was actually pension why did dey stop paying that same amount since last year as the EFCC showed documents that the payments were only for 4 years or so and stopped around may or so last year... Why didnt dey continue paying said pension?...

Every silly response as a matter of fact and definitely holds no water.

Thank you.

StepTwo:
ex-governors are entitled to pension bro, just like dx-heads of state. besides, he's not in a full time employment, reason his tenure ends after four years.

I did not say ex-Governors or anybody is not entitled to pension. I said are they entitled to a pension while still in full-time employment?

Do you know the meaning of full-time employment?

StepTwo:
https://www.thecable.ng/kwara-sarakis-been-getting-pension-not-salary

Since when did someone still working and in full time employment qualify to start collecting pension?

Wickedness!

This is a man that is already worth/has already looted over $50m, but yet he still wants to illegally take this salary.

This is while many Kwarans earning peanuts per month are not paid their salaries frequently.

Sexyqueen2:
Procter and Gamble. They do this alot when recruiting.

How do you it is Proctor and Gamble?

PDP thinks this government is like theirs where people loot $2.1bn and then can show off.

@NgeneUkwenu,


A country is nearly meaningless if people can't find electricity, pipe-borne water, petroleum products, and above all, peace in the country?

Those who plot for continuation of one Nigeria are either hypocrites, or don't know what a normal country is like.

The semi-literate president who people like you supported has turned into a tyrant, basically to protect the interest of his Fulani-controlled north who can't live without One Nigeria. In eight months, he has brought misery to Nigerians, not only incarcerating Nnamdi Kanu for no just cause.

Are you trying to impress Prisoner Kanu and his Ipobites so you can get an appointment in the fictional Biafra?

The British government have just replied him:

Dear Mr. Nnamdi Kanu

No, you are a Biafran citizen.

Please write to the Biafran Embassy to discuss your release as we can't help you.

You were on international duty for them when you got into your troubles. They should have given you diplomatic immunity.

Best of luck,

Prime Minister Cameron.

If you think sport is your line and you are seeking for the best school that can develop your talent more. I will advise you to consider Great Ife as a better option. Considering how greatly endowed this university is in terms of sports. Note, these pictures are just tips of an iceberg, as there are other indoor sports like gym , karate etc that may not appear here. Check some of them out

BELOW IS OAU SWIMMING POOL. Located besides sports complex.Very close to Akintola hall female hostel. People that graduated from OAU before 2012, may not know this swimming pool.

Guy, you need to upgrade your phone.

What kind of pictures are these?

What year was your phone manufactured?

2003?

Modified: Okay. I just noticed the picture credit.

Gerrara hia men! I'm not a fan of GEJ but there is Jo mincing words as regards to what the OP brought forwards... GEJ made mistakes but they man tried. The bloody bastards around him (both the ones he picked and the ones attached to the food chain) undermined his government.

He was trying when Oduah was caught buying 2 cars for $1.6m and he did not sack her?

dammytosh:
That was his BEST and like i said earlier, it is just not GOOD enough for us.

I don't think that was his best. That man never intended to give Nigeria his best, he just wanted to see how his cronies could loot the country.

dammytosh:
He tried his best but that best was not good enough for us.

Was he trying his best when he refused to prosecute crooks and he was even aiding crooks?

That was his best?

So Reno is finally admitting Jonathan is dumb.

If Jonathan tried and failed this much, then it is obvious he is dumb.

Only God knows how far down Jonathan would have taken Nigeria if he did not decide to try at all.

Ugly twin brothers, ugly twin sisters . #eatingMypopcornAndGroundnut

Looking at your profile picture, na you dey call others ugly?

See you bony, sufferhead self. You no dey look mirror?

When last you chop?

Do you even get up to 2 circle meals a day, talk less of 3 square meals a day?

You will soon also be calling others poor when you cannot obviously afford food yourself, sufferhead.

Clone2020:
I like how people always wanna tell you how to spend your money. This is a good advice but if you can afford a very good wedding, go for it. Left to me, an average wedding should cost btwn N5-7 million.

Why should it cost N5-7m?

I was actually wondering how he gets his money and is buoyant enough to be giving out money to others while looking like that in Nigeria.

The clues the scammer gave correlates with what I immediately thought.

This duely shows that obasanjo isn't a leader but a dictator. Your era is long gone, we shall ask you again and again before dey measure six feet's for you.

Some apshits will still compared him to Mandela

The man described you and your "likers" perfectly.

He was on point with every sentence in the quote.

Rotentina:
..............describing them as illiterates and stupid people.

"..............What stupidity! The man who asked for it, the man who gave the judgement or who answered them are all stupid,
with due respect."

"But again, it shows ignorance, total ignorance, which is lacking and you wonder, are these people educated?"
