When wil EFCC invite this man for this mind boggling financial embezzlement talk more of arresting him. Nigerians are watching

Wake up bro.... don’t expect it....wail no more. The only change that has come and is guaranteed is power change from pure civilian to ex-generals like it has always been. The media mafia was instrumental in the coup....ask father Matthew Hassan Kukah...a fellow northerner who knows Nigeria well.

Agreed that only a court can pronounce an accused ''corrupt'' but which court has pronounced Stella Oduah, Diezani and Orubebe corrupt. Even Oshimole and PMB call GEJ and everyone that worked with GEJ as corrupt without any court pronouncement. I voted for GMB twice but I am disappointed he scammed me. Corruption is growing just depends on if you are loyal to the people in power or not. No govt. can win war against corruption if the president acts in a way that is largely perceived to be partial. Perception is very key in the fight against corruption.

Congrats to the Colossus...........performance personified.

Buhari should constitute and inaugurate his cabinet swiftly..........the civil servants alone cannot deliver as most of them are not grounded on sound economic practices. Just yesterday, a civil servant who was summoned by the house of reps to explain why the FG has spent N222B on fuel subsidy without approval. The FG also secured of N60B loan without recourse to NASS. The civil servant...an Al haji with over 20yrs experience' in the civil service showed total lack of confidence and stammered throughout the session.
While to me no fraud is intended in the expenditure because just like GEJ who wanted to abolish fuel subsidy but we all said no, PMB is spending the money to stabilize the pump price of PMS but due process was not followed.
My concern is that the civil servants lack what it takes to deliver.

From late 2013, oil price started going down and the economic team implemented several measures to cushion the effect and shield the economy from bleeding. One of such steps was the ''un- bundling'' of the power sector which saw a huge inflow of foreign direct investments. Another one was the implementation of the local content act which attracted external funding to assist new Nigerian E&P companies to buy assets from the IOC's and develop them. The investments provided a buffer to the economy. Other ones were the stimulation of the Agric sector which saw a remarkable rise in agro exports and the new automotive policy that attracted investments from auto giants to build their plants in Nigeria. Also was the strategic economic relationship with China who is the global hub for retail business. The country was able to reduce inflation to a single digit and our economy gained global recognition as evidenced in the positive independent ratings.

It takes integrity and competence to run a large economy like Nigeria especially in time of crisis like now. Buhari's integrity is not in doubt by me but I cannot vow for his competence and maturity in handling complex economic situations. He does not need to be an economic guru but he should apply his temperament correctly and avoid party and regional sentiments in appointing drivers of the economy. He should not be afraid of making mistakes as a leader. He should consult widely but swiftly. His utterances should be checked. For instance, he has already brandished the ministers he will appoint as noise makers, this may affect the way the global business group view our ministers when dealing with them.
Buhari needs the support of all of us to succeed and he must also make effort to earn it.

I would have referred this matter to Falana or Festus Kayemo but I am not sure they are still human right activists, they seem to have turned APC activists.....and APC is the accused here. So sad.
If Abike Dabiri or Dino Melae were still advocates of the masses, they would take this case to the National assembly....I challenge any of them to prove that they care for the downthroden and get passionately involved here. Where is CLO, CDHR? Are they all APC too?

Whether you like PMB or not, his govt. is apportunity to get things right if the right things are done.
Remember that OBJ intensified anti corruption fight with Ribadu in EFCC but it was not sustainable nor shape public finance administration thereafter because it was perceived to selective and insincere by many.
PMB should not make same mistake otherwise his toga as Mr integrity will not be of any use to the nation. The Halliburton scandal, OBJ $15B power allegation and IBB $16B Oil windfall case are classical cases begging for answers including the murder of Dele Giwa and Bola Ige. If these cases are effectively investigated and culprits brought to book, no Nigerian leader will loot again. If not, it will only signal that you can loot povided you belong to the right party. Months ago, we all wanted the Halliburton case xrayed but now it is a 'distraction'....so luaghable. We must be corrupt to want this case dropped for any reason.

BOY BURRIED ALIVE, EXHUMED AND STILL ALIVE?
Just wondering the time lapse between the burial and the rescue and how the boy still stayed alive and has even reunited with the parents? ....just curious.

Buharis N27m Apc Ticket Loan And His Slashed Salary Of N7m Per Year by Gaskia: 5:53pm On Jul 11
I always admire PMB, for me, his 50% salary slash is an
examplary and heart warming gesture but the fact is that N14m which is the annual salary of the president is insignificant compared to his whole unmentioned legitimate entitlements. Have we forgotten so soon that OBJ also donated 100% of his salaries in his 2nd term to Nigeria? Yet he retired a billionaire? OK lets think this way: APC presidential ticket cost PMB N27M bank loan, his annual salary is N14m but through his good heart, it is now N7M, his tenor is 4 yrs and N7M x 4= N28M. This implies PMB will spend his entire 4yr earnings repaying bank loan (loan interest not part of my calculation). Just my thoughts but you are entitled to yours.

So his pension as Head of State (HOS) in early 1980s is higher than his salaries as President in 2015? If true, I wonder why he took loan in the first place since he has been receiving the pension for 27 years?
If he has other sources of income that is capable of liquidating a N27M loan, principal and interest in so short a time, then he is among the very rich, an extreme elite. If the bank wrote it off with depositors fund or shareholders profit, then it is an unethical practice (ask Sanusi), if someone else offered to pay it and he accepted so quickly without
verifying his source of fund using EFCC and DSS, then PMB has just changed....my thoughts, free to think yours.

PassingShot:
You're obviously an OLODO. Hope you know what that means?
His "APC form loan" was an overdraft which was meant to be paid back immediately his pension as a former HOS hit his account. So, that one must have been paid long ago.
Plus, he surely has other income sources which he doesn't have to tell you about.

Nigerians are the worst set of humans on earth - very difficult to satisfy. We were shouting for a reduction on cost of governance and now that PMB is living the course, many like you are concocting nonsense.

"It happened in one of the Abuja branches of one of Nigeria’stop five banks"

OP, irresponsible work cultures are encouraged because the the identity of culpable employers are shielded. WHICH OF THE NIGERIA'S TOP FIVE BANKS DID THESE HAPPEN, PLEASE MENTION IT OR YOU ARE AIDING AND ABETTING CRIME AND INJUSTICE.

While it is almost impossible for this lawer to achieve anything legally from the court. It is somewhat hasty to see only his attention seeking part.
Why not we also see him as another Nigerian who has the right to differ in his opinion; another Nigerian who belives that the President's timely action can stimulate the ailing economy which is an indirect belief in the President. Right now many companies are waiting to understand the President's policy thrust to commence investments. Why not we also consider that the President needs actions like this to shape him into the democratic space for the good of all, at least, it may teach him tolerance.

Emade:
I think river state have others important problem than to probe d ex governor

I dont ubderstand why anyone who seeks change would oppose the reversal of fraud.

This is barbaric but I am just surprised no one is blaming this on GEJ .
We should learn to put the blame on the right places.

Akpabio ur people are still suffering all over Nigeria....
Dz ur projects are ok, but save ur people suffering all over Nigeria from poverty...

People from all tribes are suffering because we have leaders without wealth creation ideas. This is a project that can generate chains of employment and reduce the suffering of his people. Good job.

The shareholders have a case but because the key charater in the whole saga....Sanusi Lamido is a key element to Buhari's 'victory' and a fellow Fulani, it may not work for political reasons. Otherwise I see no sanity in selling assets with pending litigations.

This is quality and must be commended irrespective of one's political inclination. More of this would reduce the medical tourism abroad and curtail the incessant capital flights. Bravo Akwaibom. Well done Akpabio.

If APC truly symbolizes CHANGE, the Government of Lagos State and the party hiecrachy should lead the call for the dethronment of the Oba.
By his disgraceful uttrances, he has shown clearly that he is unfit to man the exalted stool except otherwise the stool is now insignificant.
Is JK not entitled to his aspirations?
APC should lead a protest against this bigot .
My Ibgo friends, I salute your mature and non iolent response.
I reject Akiolu as an OBA while I now suppory JK in anger.

Some people say this matter has been ovetflogged. I beg to diasgree. The matter has not been given the right responce because it contains some fundamental issues....ranging from criminality to anti-humanity. It is highly ladden with violence, disrespect, treat to life, ethnic cleansing and genocide.
No one would survive if drowned in the lagoon.

I wonder why the ill informed and bigotted Oba is yet to apologise to the Igbos.

I however plead with the Igbos to be peaceful and civil in order not to be dragged down to the disdainful low reasoning level of the Oba.
I strongly aver that his position does not represent the way the Yoruba race consider the Igbos.
If I were them, I would only respond against him and his likes throuh the ballot against his god son.

According to ThisDay Newspaper, September 18, 2014,
Rivers State witnessed increased internal revenue generation from about N66.2 billion in 2012 to about N87.9 billion the following year.

On February 5, 2015, I was at the Head Quarters of the River State Board of Internal Revenue at William Jumbo Street, behind Government House to pay for my Vehicle License, I got pressed and needed to use the gents. I was directed to the gents and this is what I saw (picture attached) for a government agency that is collecting N87.9 billion Naira from the public, and would be quick to collect penal charges from anyone rightly or wrongly accused of violating sanitary regulations . Disgusting!

whizpet:
Jonathan should know that Nigerians are sick and tired of his Government. Only God saves him from being bomb 2dai #VoteBuhari come february 14.

Is that why you are clapping for terrorism? pathetic.

We pray it turns out false.

Why I we quick to doubt the report. Who has a prove against his claims?

That was wrong but I feel the incivility of the Police may have fueled the citizens reaction.
Why prevent a woman from taking her bath in the morning, who knows if they even dragged the woman out from the bathroom unclad? Which may have infuriated onlookers to react.
All they needed to do was to invite the woman to their station, if she declines, then use minimal force but she has the right to take her bath ( (right to human (woman) dignity)).
The Police is also wrong if their intent was to induce or force an eviction without a court order.

Incivility begets incvivility.

For advertising illegality, you are promoting and aiding illegality....this is actionable with a consequent 14 years sentence.

ThoniaSlim: So let me get this straight, I wash my hands, I walk into through the security door, I have to press the button to get inside.

Lets assume I've got sweaty palms, then someone else after me presses that same button. I mean doesn't that defeat the whole purpose?

It reduces the chances of transfer. Imagine if you did not wash shortly before pressing the door.

busuyem: What about university students too? Are they ebola-proof?

University students are believed to be adults and expected to consciusly adhere to certain preventive measures against Ebola...like avoiding body contacts; avoidind crowded areas like nite club; washing of hands with soap; wearing concealing clothes (indecent exposure of the body especially by the female folks should be avoided); intimate relationship should be weighed; use hand sanitizers where you cannot wash your hands; avoid touching sick prople and corpses; avoid bat meat and bush meet.

I wonder if this wouldn't make headlines: "President Johnathan invites poor Chibok parents to Abuja, they paid their way to and from Abuja, fed themselves and paid for their accommodations with no assistance from the presidency" ....
.why has care become a curse?

If the chief judge disbands, who will form the next panel....still the chief judge...so? PDP should let go this one.

Report again to the landlord, if it repeats again, do a letter , addressing it to the Environmental and Health agency of the State , demanding their visitation, inspection and issue of a notice of abatement . citing effusion of harmful gas - CO.... and other unbroken hydrocarbon and possible Lead. Call for an SOS. Put the Police and the landlord on copy ...cc. Before then use your phone to record and snap the gen with the and fumes, print and attach. Mention in the letter that you have recorded evidence.
Let the landlord have a copy, don't submit to the environment guys and police yet.....the landlord will show him the letter. The guy will beg you to halt. Just tell him you have already submitted but will advise them to stay action, that you can activate it when endangered again.
