@Gbawe
Get yourself a better job and stop peddling lies
and half-truths all over Nairaland.

Tiwa lyrics on Oma Ga is super.
Love that song.

. . . ACN drunkards all over this
thread celebrating lies. . .

Fashola is drunk

Mr. Buhari just go!
You have long expired and no longer needed.

Somebody tell Fashola to first of all probe Tinubu.

If this same Gitto with all the
multi-billion naira contracts in Niger Delta
renovates a
church with peanuts ACN will start
calling for GEJ's head.

@Poster

I bet you, all these guys that come running their mouths at GEJ
have no incling to how the Boko Haram challenge could be tackled.

It's funny how a bomb explodes and these hawks jump asking for
the head of Jonathan meanwhile, these guys live among us and no
one is willing to devulge information to security agents.

Are we saying that parents, villagers, emirs, imams, LGA chairmen of Boko
Haram affected states do not know these guys?

For me however, true federalism with various regions maintaining its
own Police Force recruited from among the locality will resolve it.

Try Calabar, Enugu, Abuja or Owerri.

It's hightime we realised that
only ACN & CPC supporters critisize GEJ. Poll is correct.

Complete thrash from this writer.
MMA is being given total overhaul.
Why not wait for work to be completed before complain?

Ok, let's blame it on GEJ as usual.

So you want us to start shouting and raining
abuses because it is GEJ's home state?

Beaf: [size=14pt]Government will prosecute those indicted by subsidy probe - Jonathan[/size]
By Onyedi Ojiabor and Sanni Onogu 1 hour ago


In fact such sharp practices in the oil sector were part of the reasons President Goodluck Jonathan moved against fuel subsidy in the first place.

“He directed the then Minister of Finance, Mr. Olusegun Aganga to engage an internationally recognized audit company to investigate the rot in the sector and KPMG was retained for the purpose.

“This was overtaken by the more comprehensive industry wide investigation now headed by erstwhile Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and Presidential Candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.

Nigeria owe the GEJ administration
gratititude for turning against these cabals, whichever way.

It's funny how some media outfits now make it look as if Jonathan was on
the side of subsidy looters. How will he be comfortable with it and still want to end it?

GEJ was right.
The truth is often bitter but better.

Kerosene was scarce and out of reach of common man
because it was being diverted for use by airlines.
Dezieni comes up with an idea to streamline the supply chain
and make the product available.

How has that become an indictment?

Sahara Reporters is quoting a memo by Yaradua
putting an end to subsidy payments on kerosene but did it investigate to find
out if this directive was reversed by the Jonathan administration?
Because Dezieni never stopped shouting that subsidy on kerosene ramains.
The only product with zero-subsidy is Diesel.

Mischief-makers on the prawl.
Why has no other reputable media outfit carried the story?

Misrepresentation of facts.
Dezieni was never indicted.

Did some of you here read that story atall before commenting

Yes I'll vote for him.

But he has not even
finished one year yet.

yemmy_ma: I am not generally condemning American degree holders, what i am saying is that holding a degree from Yankee should not make you a sacred cow in government. It definitely does not mean you know it all. Nigeria has to look beyond the degree at this time. Let me give you examples.

Allison Maduekwe - Whether she has been caught red handed or not, intuition will tell us that she is either not capable of steering that sector or she is corrupt.
Dimeji Bankole - U.K degree holder with phonetics fighting in the house and embezzling already for his unborn generation
Dr Iweala - Of course, i won't accuse her of corruption, but i bet she can't do anything to save Nigeria. You wanna know why? She just can't. If you saw her interrogation during the pension scheme probe, you will see what i mean by seeing this video...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k68VcawQKY&feature=relmfu

I have watched the two videos.

Pls you tell us what is wrong with her responses to those cross-examinations.
For me, she was right on point.

What is Okonjo-Iweala's offence?

She resumed as minister only in
September - three months to the end of year 2011.
GEJ will not sack her! Haters should give her a break.

Besides, fuel subsidy fraud did not start today.
The cabals (PDP cronies and oil majors) have been feeding fat from it
since Obasanjo's time.

Frankly, I think Nigerians owe GEJ's
administration some gratitude for turning against these
monsters and in the process exposing them.

Salami allowed Tinubu and his
ACN hawks to rubbish him.
Nigeria's judiciary is a mess.

Nice one Umari

Is there Public Water Supply in Lagos State?

Atleast, urban water supply is entirely a state government responsibility.
ACN Lagos in particular is in the habit of making Federal government
scapegoat for all infrastructural deficits in Lagos State.

I lived in Calabar for about four years during and after Donald Duke's
administration and never had need to store water. Public taps run 24hrs in
all the nooks and cranies of the city.

I live in Lagos now and buy water every day to bath, cook, wash and drink
and worst still from sources I can’t trust. I have visited friends and relatives
in different parts of Lagos and noticed they face similar plight.

I know how much is deducted from my salary alone as tax to Fashola led government.
For God’s sake propaganda about Fashola performing gives me belly ache when since
1999 we still live like pigs in this dirty Lagos.

Big shame on Salami

GEJ should be given kudos.
He was the first to smell a rat in the
management of subsidy and started moves to undo the cabals.

Nigerians would never have known the
charade involved in this subsidy regime
if not for GEJ's bold move to dump subsidy profiteers.

[LARGE]MTN Confirms That Salami Made/Received Suspicious Calls From ACN Chieftains[/LARGE]

MTN Nigeria Communications Limited has finally laid to rest the controversy over the genuineness of the call logs rejected as credible evidence by the National Judicial Council’s (NJC’s) probe panel, by confirming that it released them to the police.

Media had, during the multi-faceted and behind-the-curtain judicial probe, reported the call logs, which were presented as exhibits by sacked Governors Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun and Segun Oni of Ekiti states, as genuine, though certain media had claimed otherwise.

The call data on mobile numbers belonging to the suspended President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Isa Salami and others, from the Police at Area G Command Headquarters, Ogba, Lagos, were rejected by the Justice Umaru Abdullahi probe panel due to what the panel described as “doubtful and unreliable source.”

The panel subsequently used the call data obtained by the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), which covered only three months, to absolve Salami and other jurists, saying that the data were not comprehensive enough to indict them for unethical communications with parties in Osun and Ekiti governorship appeals.

The call data now being confirmed as authentic by the telecoms firm cover five months.

Oyinlola and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Osun and Ekiti state chapters, had gone to court, claiming that MTN deliberately released incomplete call data to NSA in order to protect Salami and certain politicians accused of unethical communications during the trial of appeals arising from the governorship elections in the two states.

They are asking for N150 billion damages and revocation of MTN’s operational licence.

In MTN’s statement of defence to the suit, the firm acknowledged that the call logs from the Nigeria Police Area G Command Headquarters, Ogba, which the petitioners presented to the panel as exhibit and rejected by the panel, were from it.

In paragraph 8, the firm claimed that “In response to paragraph 22-23 of the Statement of Claim, the 1st Defendant (MTN) stated that it always cooperates with security agencies and acceded to their legitimate requests while adhering to its rigid procedures to ensure its customer confidentiality regime is not compromised or prejudiced and also within the confines of its capacity and storage constraints. It was consequent upon this that the 1st Defendant, upon request for call data records from Nigeria Police Force Area G Command Headquarters Ogba, forwarded the CDRs to the Command.”

In MTN’s response, handled by the chambers of the former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abdullahi Ibrahim SAN, the telecoms giant insisted that it could only provide data covering three months.

“The 1st Defendant (MTN) duly honoured the request in line with its policies and capacity constraint, which limits the period within which CDRs can be stored on the 1st Defendant’s network to three months, by releasing the CDRs for the period December 2010 to February 2011 to the law enforcement agencies,” it stated.

It added that: “The 1st Defendant, as earlier stated, received a request from NJC vide a letter dated 14th April 2011 for the release of CDRs of some of the 1st Defendant’s subscriber numbers for the period September 2010 to January 2011. The 1st Defendant could not honour the request of the NJC, because of its obligation to respect the confidentiality of its subscribers, and, therefore, being only able to release such information to the actual subscriber of a specific mobile telephone line upon request, law enforcement agencies or upon a court order.”

However, in the response being filed by the plaintiffs to MTN’s defence, it is being contended that while the call data released to the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) by MTN covered only three months, the data released to the Area G Command covered the required five months.

Oyinlola and PDP are contending that the call data of the months deliberately left out in what was given to the NSA would have made all the difference in reaching a different conclusion by the NJC panel.

According to the plaintiffs, “The 1st Defendant’s storage capacity is not limited to three months. The call data records the 1st defendant released to Area G Command, Ogba, covered the period between 1st September, 2010 and 31st January, 2011 (5 calendar months). We shall also be calling the Area Commander, Area F Command, Ikeja, Lagos, to tender the call data records of a certain Sunday Awobiye, which spanned a period of six (6) calendar months.

“These buttress the Plaintiff’s assertion of the 1st Defendant’s inconsistent, fraudulent and manipulative tendencies: The 1st call data record released to Adeolu Oyinlola by the 1st Defendant on the 4th of August, 2011 (already pleaded) covered only a period of one month, while the 2nd call data record released by the same 1st Defendant to the self-same Adeolu Oyinlola on March, 2012 covered three months. Very significantly, unlike the call data records the 1st Defendant released to the security agencies at the behest of the National Judicial Council, both of the call data records released to Adeolu Oyinlola had originating and terminating components. The 2nd call data record is hereby pleaded.”

“Defendants should declare when, in the history of Lagos State, a Tunde Folawiyo (in whose name telephone subscriber no. 08034240000 was registered) occupied the seat of governor. Plaintiffs shall, at the trial of the suit, cause the appearance of a witness, who regularly interacts with Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the aforementioned subscriber no. 08034240000, as well as subscriber no. 08062240104 (registered in the name of Gbadegesin Ademola).

“The honourable court is invested with the power to compel the 1st Defendant to avail it of the SIM registration details of the two suspicious numbers (especially now that subscribers are statutorily required to register their Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards, as it would assist the court to determine whether or not the 1st Defendant is in breach of section 14(?) of the Nigerian Communications Act.

“Considering the 1st Defendant’s extracted confession that it had earlier released some call data records to the Area Commander, Area G Command, Ogba, Lagos, is it not clear that the 1st Defendant acted against public interest by misleading the security agencies, and by extension, the National Judicial Council, through the release of incomplete and inadequate call data?

“Does the 1st Defendant consider it fair to have appeared for Justice Ayo Salami (the record of proceedings of the NJC Special Investigative Panel; as well as the fact that the MTN staff, that appeared before the Panel was led in his evidence-in-chief by Justice Salami’s legal representative attest to this) and attempt (unsuccessfully) to repudiate the call data records the 1st Defendant had earlier released to a competent government organ?

“Paragraph 8 of the 1st Defendant’s statement of defence, taken together with proof that the 1st Defendant’s storage capacity is more than three months, as well as the 1st Defendant’s failure/refusal/neglect to release the originating component of the call data records of the subscriber numbers requested by the National Judicial Council, prove beyond any doubt that the 1st Defendant deliberately frustrated the work of the NJC Panel; withheld the more important of the two components of call data records (terminating component); consciously avoided releasing the call data records of the period being investigated at the time, and perverted the course of justice. We shall, at the trial of this suit, require the Police, SSS and NSA to appear and tender the incomplete call data records supplied to them by the 1st Defendant.”
