modath: They are callous killers also. Can some Nigerians now understand why Buhari loses his cool when he talks of the "serious offences" of Dasuki et al? The president has far more information at his disposal, that cannot be revealed to the public just yet, which reveals the vile and evil actions of men like Dasuki and other military leaders under the equally perverse GEJ. |

Politics / Re: Tompolo: Armed Youths Blow-up Pipeline, Oil Facilities In Delta by Gbawe: 4:30pm On Jan 15, 2016 |
woodcook: You are talking based on the assumption Nigeria is selling all her oil. This has not been so for a while and the situation may become worse in future as more nation discover oil and the world becomes less reliant on oil as commercial/domestic fuel. Buhari knows he is in a winner-take-all fight where he either wins by moving Nigeria towards success or fail by letting the Tompolos of the world continue to hold the biggest black nation on earth to ransom over a commodity that is becoming cheaper and more worthless to Nigeria than some of the many other domestic endowment we have neglected. You are really misinformed and behind if you think (1) oil is the supreme 'bargaining chip' it used to be in Nigeria's case, (2) or you assume we are still in an era of weak Presidents every common criminal can bluff and (3) you fail to understand that it is now accepted that the Nigerian economy, as a matter of necessity and not choice, must diversify or die. Buhari is uncompromising because he knows the future and survival of Nigeria is linked to a totally new way of doing things where oil is not an overpowering factor that is allowed to subjugate and undermine every socio-economically beneficial process or decision to the detriment of Nigeria . What has made this mindset even more urgent, aside the desperate result of a failure to diversify the Nigerian economy, is the startling fall of oil price that has totally exposed the horrid economic vulnerability of Nigeria and shown every intelligent Nigerian that we are f**ked and are now left with no choice but to do whatever possible to ensure Nigeria is no longer a prisoner to oil blackmail. Buhari is smart enough to realise it is easier to reform Nigeria, by dealing with its worst internal enemies of progress, in a period oil is becoming dirt cheap and Nigerian oil is no longer over-subscribed.

Empty noisemaker and attention-seeker always making everything about a mythical nation Igbo leaders cannot even come out to support. Are people like you not ashamed of the disconnection between your agitation and that of the political leaders, all Igbos, who have made your land and region what it is while you insist on blaming Yorubas, Hausas, Fulanis and all others for your self-inflicted woes? It is your sort quick to call others cowards but you are the only coward I see because you don't understand that trying to lawlessly act as if you are greater than a nation, only to then scream persecution when you are dealt with, is the greatest display of cowardice possible. The days of empty chest beating are over. No longer will individuals openly defy a legitimate government and sovereign Nigeria only for the President to look away in a cowardly manner. We have a real President in place who knows wrong from right. |

feelamong: Don't mind these shameless braggarts and lovers of lawlessness. How many threats has Buhari and the APC defied only for the cowards and chest-beaters who made the threat to retreat with tail between legs? "Arrest Kanu and Nigeria will burn". "Arrest Metuh and Nigeria will burn". "No GEJ no access to Niger Delta oil". "GEJ must have a second term or Nigeria will burn" "Release Kanu or we make sure the zoo falls in 2015" "Northerner will never rule Nigeria again". "Detain Metuh and this will be the end of Nigeria's democracy" blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah Suspects are being arrested and detained daily yet Nigeria is standing. A Northerner is President and no shaking. Oil, becoming more worthless daily, is still flowing. Metuh is growing a beard in detention. Asari Doku-orobo, the perpetual empty chest beater, is nowhere to be seen. I am personally loving this development because I hate how Nigerians are routinely lawless and empty braggarts who think they are above the law merely because they are used to weak leaders like GEJ who cower at the slightest gra gra. No one should be allowed to act as if they are bigger than Nigeria. That is one of the main message that must be passed across if Nigerians are to start believing that wrongdoing has punitive implication. They will pick Tompolo up in the end and his followers, like the IPOB lot, will learn Buhari, or any effective President of a sovereign nation, cannot and must not be blackmailed by brigands, terrorists, militia groups and lawless individuals . 4 Likes |

Politics / Re: Would You Support Buhari To Probe Tinubu? by Gbawe: 3:38pm On Jan 12, 2016 |
blazetitov: That is not the point. It is more pertinent to ask if any reason exists for you to be probed. I cannot just ask for your probe because I hate your personal success or ethnic group when it is obvious you have not done anything to warrant the probe I am asking for. What should Tinubu be probed for? If it is the nonsensical "he is very rich" argument then how many very rich men/women in Nigeria should be probed and where will Buhari begin or end his probe? |
Politics / Re: Would You Support Buhari To Probe Tinubu? by Gbawe: 3:29pm On Jan 12, 2016 |
1wolex85: What people do not understand is that Tinubu is the one politician in Nigeria that typifies the saying "don't hate, appreciate". Meaning you may dislike someone but you must admire how they conduct their affairs to saty on top and be exemplary winners. As I showed above, the PDP, APGA and even Buhari's CPC fell short of auditing standards. ACN was the only major Party singled out as exemplary. When someone goes out of his way to be that legitimate and compliant with the law always, in a nation of absolute lawlessness typified by the reckless abandon of the then ruling Party i.e the PDP, it is obvious some could learn lessons from Tinubu they can use to make a success of their own lives. For what Nigeria is, Tinubu is very special in my opinion. |
Politics / Re: Would You Support Buhari To Probe Tinubu? by Gbawe: 3:14pm On Jan 12, 2016 |
DropShot: Well-said. Nigerians, because of innate bias and a tendency to look at everything sentimentally, fail to see what Tinubu is which is, as you stated exactly, an astute businessman and a very calculative politician. What typified Tinubu for me as a person who covers his back and always 'stays tight' was the political Party auditors report of a few years ago that showed the then ACN was virtually the only major political Party that complied with every single aspect of the law as far as book-keeping and auditing is concerned. PDP was found to be woefully wanting and derelict in its responsibility to file accounts and provide relevant information. Even Buhari's CPC was found wanting. The moral of the story is that we should all be inspired by a man who studies systems so well and works legitimately to benefit from said system whereas others cut corners and simply disregard the law. The ACN could have been a lawless party like others and even the strict Buhari could not control the slackness of his CPC. Yet the fact APC shone as the most accountable major Party in Nigeria should show some they are better understudying Tinubu than hating him. Tinubu has the awareness and talent to ensure even the smallest details were not ignored when Buhari did. This does not make Buhari bad. It simply means Tinubu is exemplary and misses nothing. In short a master of the game. Forumites should see for themselves. Being emotional gets us nowhere in life and it will prevent us from learning from characters like Tinubu. We should ask ourselves why Tinubu ensured the APC is praised below in lawless Nigeria where it is far easier to circumvent the law, especially if you are influential, than obey it. Tinubu has survived and thrived for so long because he does everything within the law while others just don't "give a damn" as GEJ announced. Good luck trying to probe Tinubu. https://www.nairaland.com/1238009/pdp-cpc-anpp-others-violate The indicted 1 Like 1 Share |

Brooklynsouth: What exactly do you want Buhari to probe Tinubu for? The man has not held a public office since 2007. If it Tinubus wealth and influence that bothers you then I should ask if you also want Buhari to investigate every single wealthy businessman/private citizen who is involved in politics in Nigeria yet has nothing to do with a Nigerian public office and no direct link to obtaining looted FG money? Are you saying Buhari should go after those sort and ignore those, like Dasuki and Allison-Madueke, who used their public office to loot Nigeria horrendously and directly? If he did you will be first to shout dictator and argue those folks are merely being persecuted for their wealth and political affiliation !!!! Sometimes you guys should try to shun bias-driven emotions and sentiments because such make your argument seem unreasonable. |
Politics / Re: Would You Support Buhari To Probe Tinubu? by Gbawe: 12:34pm On Jan 12, 2016 |
@OP. What would the probe be based on? Tinubu's tenure as governor of Lagos which ended in 2007? Or his position as an APC leader with no direct control of any Nigerian public office? Did Tinubu collect money from Dasuki or was he given pipeline protection contract by GEJ? When Buhari is not probing former leaders of the PDP that controlled and looted the centre for 16 years it is Tinubu who had never been a member of a ruling Party that should be probed? You guys cannot simply be mentioning Tinubu because he is your favourite bogeyman and you want him 'dealt with' by all means. Whether you like it or not the truth is that Buhari ,as President of Nigeria, is more concerned with recent official looting of the federal government. That is what Buhari is focusing on and he therefore has no reason to probe Tinubu. 3 Likes |
Politics / Re: I Won’t Return N100 Million, Says Chief Falae by Gbawe: 6:39am On Jan 12, 2016 |
theV0ice: Indeed. We have to put emotions aside . It has never been a crime to accept electoral campaign funds. Funds donated and disbursed to win an election can come from many sources. It would have to be proven that Falae knew he was receiving money diverted illegally from government coffers for any charge of wrongdoing to stick. If Falae is correct in claiming he received the money directly from Anenih then he is on very strong grounds because it is Anenih, i.e a PDP politician who can work for the Party's electoral win yet is not connected to any public office directly, who should be probed. If it cannot be established that Falae directly collected this "election mobilisation fee" from Dasuki then I think he can successfully fight any order to refund the money. There might be a case for showing Falae benefited from the proceeds of crime but this is a grey area because Falae may simply claim he accepted and spent the money in good faith and for the purpose it was meant for. Any demand for a refund will then be frustrated and probably redundant in the end. |

I have many educated and bright Igbo friends who are law-abidding and go about their business amicably. They view Kanu an embarrassment and a nuisance. This is about the deluded and deceitful egomaniac called Kanu and those who chose to follow him.

If you appreciate life and you know you cannot restore it once lost then you will never support a man who caused the death of so many Nigerians cynically. I am not interested in thinking like the sycophants or ignoramuses, oblivious of the local crimes/misrule of GEJ, who gave this asinine award. Look at ambitious and sucessful nations like the UK, USA, Germany , France et al. You cannot even kill one of their citizens or armed force personnel without serious repercussion. Yet GEJ watched many Nigerians die like chickens and even abetted the death of many soldiers with the corruption Dasuki is now telling us 'oga at the top' sanctioned. We even all see now how the Nigerian army is a far more serious and focused unit under Buhari than was ever the case under GEJ who ensured virtually every kobo meant to empower our army was looted. Instead the army turned election riggers and private intimidation force for the PDP.

GEJ is not a good man and we should move away from the Nigerian penchant of promoting everyone who is not loud, ambitious and assured as "good", "meek", "humble" or "a gentleman misled by bad advisers". In the most successful and ambitious nations in the world, you will never ever be proclaimed a "good man" if you are a leader who supervised the unconscionable looting of the people's wealth and even assisted the efforts of those who want to slaughter those you swore to protect even at the risk of your own life. Remember how GEJ cowered in cowardice while Nigerians were bein slaughtered whereas many leaders take risk to visit their soldiers on the frontline to boost moral and show they appreciate them. APC governors and leaders had to audaciously walk the streets of a terrorised Northern State before GEJ decided he had to act and deploy cynical propaganda so as not to lose political goodwill. That, for me, was very cynical and callous. An indicator of the unconscionable mind of a man only interested in remaining in office while not fundamentally bothered about the Nigerians dying under his watch and due to his actions/inactions.
