I have called this sycophant governor a mole right from when he invited buhari to flag off a project in his state and invited a traitor like Amaechi to carnival. PDP should expel this governor. SS is pdp, nothing will happen

its called diplomacy bro, not chest beating that can't get you anywhere! Pdp should expel again when they need new members? na wa for una o

cktheluckyman:
Nnamdi kanu does not have a army of militants like Tompolo.Only a stupid policemen would venture into the creeks in an attempt to arrest Tompolo

And you guys pushed the oyibo guy all the way into where he is now? una wicked o, what about the biafra army you guys were talking about then?

I smell and see scam all over chai

cktheluckyman:
He always has a choice!! Make a standout in the creeks and survive as he always has done before the amnesty.

that was then, he is a billionaire now and life in the creeks is no longer fashionable, I think he is still considering his legal options.

Ecoterrorism:
Its not possible because the constitution will need to be reviews and exploration of solid minerals will be removed from the exclusive list but if they insist why is the FG budgeting billions of naira for oil exploration in Sokoto and Borno

we are talking about solid minerals here please!

asha80:
I have read it said that 'fg has exclusive rights' but ' Constitution backs state government to set up corporation to exploit mineral resources in their domain'.

However my question is this how many states that really done it? Is there an unseen hand that does not really allow states to do that?

that answered your question whether it has constitutional backing. As for the unseen hand, may be states govt need to come out and answer that, me think its a welcome development as states no longer have excuses not to raise enough IGR to pay their workers regularly.

asha80:
fg has to come out and make broad based statement on this and if possible a constitutional backing should be enshrined..mere mouthing it off does not cut it.

did you read the story very well? pls read again

veraponpo:
Lair!!!

What Rotimi Amaechi suffered under Jonathan no man can ever experience such let alone a sitting governor. Amaechi's jet was grounded, his car was stopped, his security detail was withdrawn, the stadium was shut, 7 honourables in the house impeached 22 to unseat him, he was publicly insulted by the wife of the President, etc Where were you then sir?

When the car carrying Alhaji Lai Muhammed, Rotimi Amaechi ,etc to Ekiti was stopped and PDP members cars that met them on the road were allowed to enter Ekiti where were you?

When the current governor of Kaduna was locked in the hotel and was given house arrest in Anambra where were you? When Ali Mohammed and others were arrested by DSS under Marilyn Ogar for wandering in the eve to Osun State last election where were you?

When the Office of APC in Lagos (Ikeja) was burgled and all their data systems were carted away by DSS with no reason where were you? Till today nothing was brought out of the case.

Please stop being partisan as a lawyer. Both Mike Ozokheme and Barrister Onangoruwa are PDP members parading as neutral individuals.

don't mind them jare, the rule of law went to sleep during all those times but its wide awake now because of PMB. The pdp are the greatest violators of the rule of law that ever liveth

when some of us complain about these lawyers, we are reminded about the dumb rule of law that sentences people who steal chicken but cannot keep big time looters in custody at all.

cktheluckyman:
Tompolo would not stupid enough to hand himself over after seeing how Buhari disregarded the courts orders to free Kanu,Akpokolemi and Dasuki.

that is his fears but he has no choice but to submit himself

the way these people fall sick when they chop yams ehh? na walking stick this one carry come court today

Am waiting for the one that will be brought in to court on hospital bed, may be Tompolo

henrysam:
Buhari is not schooled hence the true meaning of rule of law is not known to him.
How do you a person who does not have a school certificate that only rise through military training to understand rule of law.
I only pity the gullible one who follows him sheepishly

rule of law that imprisons someone who steal a chicken but cannot keep someone who stole billions in custody for more than 1 hour?

That rule of law must be from the pit of hell

na wa for wailers o, anybody that descends on PMB becomes their hero e.g. Fayose, ffk, olunloyo e.t.c.

story don de change o, before it was 'I will never appear' to " I have not been served with summons'

we are watching

Ozekhome is getting emotional by bringing in Jonathan and the issue of his wife's grammatical blunders, who is deceiving who? is it because PMB has not allowed himself to be deceived like they [including Ozekhome] deceived Jonathan?

These CORRUPT JUDGES are the greatest ENEMY of this Nation!
Even the thieves know this very well

You can expend all the energy to catch a thief but it is still these corrupt Judges that will set them free or ask them to pay back less than 1% of the Money they stole!
The PENTCOM (Pension Commission Looting is an example!).

I think Buhari needs to Set-Up a SPECIAL COURT to deal with this LOOTERS.




Lastpage!

even the special courts will still be handled by the same corrupt judges like the election tribunals, I think this battle against corruption can only be won when a true majority of Nigerians come out to support any Govt to deal with corruption in whatever form but as it is Nigerians are divided on the issue of corruption, as some Nigerians still support corruption all in the name of the rule of law.

Ecoterrorism:
your comments appeals to emotions but the truth is that the law courts will determine the facts and seperate propaganda

Then let's wait for the courts instead of trying to pre-empt investigations which is what the op is trying to do here.

snailspeed:
Please educate yourself. A man is innocent until proven guilty! Please repeat that 7 times so it sinks into your head. That is one of the tenets of democracy and justice. So I dont need to justify him. He is justified in the eyes of the law until proven guilty. I will bash GMB and his government because they are failing as far as justice is concerned. They are breaking the laws they have sworn to uphold.

This your post is just sentiments. Please argue on facts

Then Take the govt to court after all some of your folks have taken them to ICC, take actions and stop ranting online cos no one takes you serious here

snailspeed:
Please think well before you share your ignorance in public.

1. The panel he setup had not even concluded their report before the DSS and EFCC started using the so called findings for their propaganda
2. Your spew of sentiments is the exactl propaganda line that has been used to peddle falsehood. Using the sentiments of insurgency to push the false narrative is nauseating. Didnt you and your ilks applaud when SA seized about $9.3 million that was supposed to be used to purchase arms for the fight? Even Buhari and the APC leadership advised SA to keep the money. Now you claim you care for the victims of insurgency? Such hypocrisy! You and your kind did everything you could to undermine the fight against insurgency so you have no moral right to come here and preach with blood stained hands.

And stop using God's name when you do your propaganda and falsehood. Its shameful!

since the panel has not concluded their report, then why are you in a hurry to justify those that have been alleged to have committed offences against the state, you guys keep shouting propaganda to see if all the truth will come out of the investigations.

You are the one spewing sentiments to justify even those that are already confessing to have collected money that is not theirs in any form and from the way you are talking about the 9.3million dollars seized by SA, its obvious you are just bitter against the person of PMB just because your beloved GEJ was booted out. God will grant us grace to continue to bear and endure all your wailing against the Govt.

You started well in your opening analysis trying to be objective but you gave yourself away when you started bashing PMB and his Govt, if you have condemned some of the actions by dasuki and co, you would have been balanced but your unnecessary bias and support for stealing of Govt funds will make nobody believe your conspiracy theory chikena

theshadyexpress:
channel your grievance to the right quarters bro, don't bath this thread with your sentimental crap, boko haram has killed a few thousands of people under Buhari and the presidiot has not bought a single rifle for the army,soldiers morale has been badly silenced but yet your presidiot is claiming victory. he is the one that you should be angry with and i wonder why you are not asking for Buhari to be jailed since under him too people have also been killed by boko haram.

this whole arms scandal is a well articulated media propaganda by the devilish APC party and it is targeted at distracting your attention from pressing issues like the economy,shiites massacre, IPOB demonstrations, stock market crash et al. it is what APC needs to whip up sentiments for itself and its band of economic assassins. not everybody can be fooled and i dare to stand out even if it means standing alone

your posts just shows that you and your folks are still yet to recover from the loss at the polls, by march it will be one year your hero GEJ was booted out yet you guys can't just move on but instead keep trying to incite Nigerians against the present FG.

Anyway you guys will continue to fail, the rest of Nigerians will not wait for the ss and se to get over their political miscalculations, we will continue to see you guys as a liability we just have to endure, for how long, no one but God can tell, have a nice day

Our priests and pastors should please stay away from politics, yes they are free to air their views but for the sake of their followers that are in different political parties and have diverse political opinions.

Men of God should not be seen heating up the polity whether its Bakare, ashimolowo, kukah, chukumah or whoever.

Pls for the sake of our dear nation, its high time our men of God seal their lips on national issues especially at this time.

There are no documents anywhere to show such propaganda. It is what it is, cheap propaganda! If there are documents to prove such claims

1. The EFCC will be very willing to go through the whole process legally and not resort to their media trial and gestapo style prosecution
2. The charges brought against Dasuki in court would have reflected that. Total charges brought against Dasuki in court is less than N50 billion. $2.1B is not N50B my friend, except you attended night school like I suspect!

And Dopkesi has already said he shoudl be charged to court. The only people actually sying away from the courts is the government, not the accused. Metuh has said to them, lets go to court. But EFCC is keeping him and bringing out one propaganda after another of how he ate papers and how he called people's names. Such a sham!

the media trial you guys keep shouting easily gives you guys away that you are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the ongoing investigations because of the persons being exposed, but I thought metu has sued the Efcc to justify himself why not wait to see how far he can go in getting the Govt to justice. This shout of propaganda you guys keep doing will only compound matters for your heroes.

Diplomacy is the way to go with PMB not insults and media noise that you are doing. I have suggested somewhere on this forum that GEJ and other pdp goons should negotiate with PMB on how these stolen monies can be return, the more you keep shouting propaganda, the more the Efcc will continue to chase and hunt all the looters till they vomit all the yams.

If you think PMB or this Govt is joking then you are in for a long ride

I have been following the so called Dasukigate and I am amazed how easy it is for a government to use the media to deceive and distract the ignorant masses. History has shown that propaganda remains the biggest tool of any government that intends to enslave a people. Unfortnately, even the current opposition has been quite incompetent in putting the records straight

For the records, there is nothing like a $2.1B arms money. It was a propaganda masterstroke well concotted by the DSS and EFCC to distract everyone from the incompetence of the Buhari administration. That is why former president Goodluck Jonathan has come out twice now to put the records staright that he never approved any $2.1B arms money. But it seems the ignorant masses still dont get it. So where did the "$2.1B arms money" headline originate from?

$2.1B was the monies that was allocated to the office of the NSA throughout Dasuki's tenure as NSA. These monies come under SECURITY VOTE. It was not money allocated to the purchase of weapons as the DSS and the EFCC have claimed. That is why they cant take Dasuki to court. They will lose woefully. Security vote is not money allocated for arms purchase. Of the whole monies that make up the $2.1B, only the $300 million from the returned Abacha loot was actually recommended for the purchase of arms. That is why in court, the charges brought against Dasuki was in that range. But they are likely going to lose in court for that because weapons were actually purchased. Whether they are worth $300 million is what the EFCC will have to prove in court. But from the way they have been refusing to follow the court process, one is safe to assume that they dont trust their own case against Dasuki.

But why did they go with the headlines of "$2.1 Billion arms purchase money" when they knew it was not the case? Because the whole anti coruption fight was only a propaganda stunt from the beginning. It was a well crafted stunt to distract the masses and persecute any dissenting voice so Buhari can fully consolidate power. Does that mean I think many of the politicians mentioned in the scandal are clean? By no means! Nigerian politicians are corrupt without a doubt including the presidency and everyone in the rulling APC party. The president's campaign itself was sponsored from corruption. The Amaechi corruption scandals are well documented with very strong evidence.

If Dasuki has stolen any funds, he should be prosecuted accordingly, but the media propaganda and charade has got to stop. Media trial is injustice in itself. I find it really deceitful when I see lines like "what will you tell the Nigerian soldiers that didnt have weapons to fight and were killed because Dasuki shared the arms money". That is nothing but propaganda and trying to appeal to sentiments to push a narrative. If that were the case, what has the same military been using to fight BH in the last 8 months since Buhari has not bought any new weapons? What weapons did the army use to push back BH prior to the 2015 elections? Did they push BH back with their bare hands too? Even Lie Mohammed claims BH has been defeated. With which weapons did the army defeat BH? With their bare hands?

It is important we put all these straight so we dont fall for cheap propoaganda by a government that has completely lost its way. The same government that claims they are fighting corruption came out with a terrible corruption laden budget where they intended to connect cables from the President's residence to the drivers residence with N300 million. In fact, the budget of yams was so laden with coruption that they had to shamelessly withdraw it.

The world has changed. If the current government thinks they will continue to rule with propaganda, they should think again because they will be exposed again and again. Thank God for social media and the Internet!

I will not condemn but rather asked if you or anyone close to you was a victim of the insurgency, will you ever come out with a piece like this? I think we should careful when we try to confuse our personal opinions or experience in discussing very sensitive national matters, GEJ is not that hated as you and your fellow admirers think but the way and and manner you guys confuse very sensitive national matters with how you will feel personally over issues requires some restraint.

You guys have forgotten that it was when PMB set up a panel to probe whether monies budgeted to spent on arms to fight insurgency was used judiciously that all the revelations we have been hearing emerged, we are talking serious matters here and you are trying to be technical by saying that they were security votes, if its security votes, how come falae, dokpesi, obaigbena that are not security contractors benefited from the funds.

Please for once be sympathetic to the plight of the victims of the insurgency and don't let your hatred for PMB and love for GEJ make you a human being without feelings to the down trodden. Thanks and God bless

ibisko04:
I beg to differ from your observation. Punctuality is the soul of business. A meeting scheduled for 10.00am supposed to have had all the attendants sited by 9.50am.
Seriousness of the cabinet ministers matter a lots in achieving desires results.

Thanks for the clarifications, we take little details for granted in Nigeria, that's why serious minded guys are easily misunderstood in our society

Acidosis:
ahahahahaha


As usual, government is using emotional and media strategies to win the hearts of the weak, the delusional, the poor, and the zombies.


It is not enough to shout N13Bn scam. Show us the condition of the land/property. How many buildings were bought alongside the land. Is the land an agricultural land or residential?


If Fashola could build a borehole for N60m and he was crowned a Minister, I see no reason why Tompolo cannot sell his land for N13Bn.

Even a common dry land in a bush in Ogun sometimes sell for N10m/plot.

We are tired of reading billions. N13Bn is just a CHANGE when compared with what Tinubu currently enjoys from Ikeja City Mall (Shoprite) in Ikeja.

How much did Tinubu gained after he sold Lagos property to Shoprite?


Emotional stunts cannot save BUHARI AND TINUBU.

leave your nemesis fashola and tinubu out of this, they will also explain themselves when Efcc invites them but please advise Tompolo to go for a friendly visit to the efcc biko

kraftsta:
Lol...bombing d creek is a non issue buh d after effect will never b favourable to our oil based economy, we have to discorage all dis violence we all are inciting n trying to bring back to d niger delta, if u have a friend or relative that works offshore or within d niger delta swamps I think dey will explain to u better,millitants attack is not an exprience I will wish to have for a second time, its not dat costly to sink an oil installation n this time it will not be called freedom fighting were some will even show dat dey have conscience, now it will b a fight againt the FG n nigerian economy...so let's try to stop all dis online rant and face d fact dat in d present condition of our economy, d last thing we should wish for is to bring back niger delta millitancy...

that is what a lot of folks don't understand, the Niger delta struggle can never be the same again after the likes of tompolo and co have been made billionaires couple with the amnesty regime, any unrest in the Niger delta will not be taken serious any longer but be seen as a war against the state. e.g. the useless protests in the se and blocking of the Niger bridge. A word is enough for the wise, Tompolo will submit himself to Efcc, he is only weighing his options, he was powerful in the last administration but not in this present one, he is just an ordinary citizen apart from some wailers who still see him as their hero.

The lawyers advising MTN are scammers, they will rip them of money and they will still pay the fine, MTN miscalculated by going to the courts, this govt has its way around the courts and mtn won't be an exception.

PDP has broken into factions, Praise God as we await their final burial.

All looters are liable to die young if they don't return their loot.

chukwudi44:
So have you arrested Tompolo? It is very much easier to issue arrest orders,carrying it out is the koko

my guy you are beginning to shift ground by saying its one thing to issue arrest and another thing to carrying out, if he was arrested without order, you guys will be the first to jump out and say PMB is a tyrant.

Tompolo will disappoint you guys by submitting himself for arrest, keep watching!

I keep saying that our Pastors should steer clear politics cos they are bad political analysts, I understand Ashimolowo's concern especially running a church in london with majority as Nigerians who will be greatly affected with the cbn foreign transactions policy but then the looters he said PMB should only 20% of his time are cause of the whole debacle.

Sometimes our Pastors should speak more from a National perspective than using their own personal experience all the time.
