someone needs to teach pmb the sensitivity of the market, any move you make sends a message to investors. you dont do commando style on the economy

m u m u, is it PMB dat took the case to court?

Is it PMB that gave the ruling?

topics like this will not make fribtpage, if it's snake or breastt, it will make it fast

it's been 2months since i made complaints at their office & there has been no changes. I have working post paid meter, but they ignore my readings & give me estimated billing

they insist I must clear the bill b4 I can start processing my application for pre paid meter.

DrWise:
Akingbola would fight this fight till the last drop of his blood. A very rare gentleman he is. You knew how to run an organization and reward your staff accordingly. I remember all the CSR and the various donations to colleges and Universities.

You started IMBL from zero and grew it to become Intercontinental Bank, the then largest Bank in Nigeria by assets. IBPLC was the beautiful bride in banking that every young man wanted to court.

As a young graduate, you afforded me a platform to begin my career in Banking in 2008, your training school was second to none as I made my first N248,000 in 10 weeks as allowance coupled with top-notch consulting firms that delivered superb lectures to us.

After resumption, the working environment was very ideal. What about the allowance? Jetta, upfront, variable, anniversary, lunch, hazard, leave and passages. You were light years ahead of your peers.

You practically told us that whoever worked with you and has not achieved anything remarkable in 3 years ought to be fired. You shared profit to drivers, cleaners and artisans and told us that they contributed to the making of this profit. Posterity would never forget you.
I know one day, you would be vindicated.

you mean the above is the proof that he is not guilty of what he is being accused of?

That Robin Hood was philantrophic does not negate the fact that he was a robber

Lawrence Anini was dreaded but he also helped folks

it's time we leave frivolities & ask the most important question ie Is he quilts of the crime he is being accused of?

Am fully in support of the anti corruption fight. However, some things don't add up with this news:
1. During BVN exercise, account holder is required to sign and verify biometric finger print.
2. How could Stella Idua's signature be used for her maid's bio data.
3. How is it possible that the account is still operational till now?
Anyway, SR has a way of digging out dirt in detail. We wait

with fayose/zenith bank brouhaha, I don't see how your questions aren't a possibility

codemaniacs:


U think all the money will come from dangote alone. Stop been naïve..

how am I bring naive? I said whether it's thru loan or personal funds, didn't u see that

by the way, dangote put up $4b of his own, the balance is a loan.

if an individual can source for $9b regardless of the source, why can't nigeria as a country build one?

one man can afford to build a $9b refinery whether thru loan or personal funds but NIGERIA as a country cannot build one?

The FG shamelessly went to inspect the facility the other day, I could count 3minsters from the pictures excluding the VP.

if it's to sit down & share $9b, they will know how to go about it

antispexish:


sir you might be right, no argument with that.
But my position is simple. Some floodings cannot be solved with gutters and man made drainage channels, no matter how large or how many!
There is a probability that even if these drainage you are talking about is completed, it will not work!
it will not stop the flooding!

you said some cannot be solved meaning some others can be!!

a little rain in benin & some areas are already flooded, if the drainages were in place, we will not be having most of the water problems

The senior advocate added, “He has remitted colossal sums of money to the Federal Government, although not in admittance of guilt, but out of cooperation with security agencies

where does a bloody civil servant gets "colossal sums of money" to return to the government?

is buhari the reason why "nigerian airways" is died?

Why is everyone mentioning buhari?

SirJeffry:
Of all the mentions, you are the only one with functional brains and I respect you for that.

My major anger here is the headline which is so biased. The young perm sec. co-signed a cheque for a contract which was part of his responsibility but the APC led FG now tags it "Dasuki asked him to give money to GEJ's cousin". Why not probe the contract for which the money was meant first before coming up with such headline.
You don't go ahead and feed us lies first before probe.

i get you but bros, in naija you don't go by headlines, it's always misleading

osho did nothing in the state in contrast to the funds that came in, from loans to fed allocation, to IGR

the so called roads he did was done at what cost? they were super inflated & awarded to politicians

for those that know airport rd, it was awarded twice cos d baba it was given, chopped & cleaned mouth

let the governor make public how much he spent on each road project, if his hands are clean

another reason most folks think he tried is because they are comparing him with igbinedion who was a collosal failure

when Stella obasanjo hospital was commissioned, it was the best in terms of structure & equipment

today it has been over run by weeds & equipment comatose

the governor has upgraded an aspect of the central hospital, at what cost

what plans has he made to staff it? to equip it?

Iefosa:


Good question... Oya op answer Oh! First and second pic looks old and I think it's ikpoba slope area

that's okhoro junction, off new Lagos road

antispexish:
How can you blame the governor for natural disasters !
hope you see the pictures of what flooding does in developed countries !

igbinedion started the water storm project to channel the water to the river, off course it never saw the light off the day

osho baba couldn't complete it too after 8yrs

go to GRA when it rains, you will know this is childs play. there are streets in GRA where no car has plied in years

forget all the noise the governor makes on TV

SirJeffry:
To all the zombies who didn't take out time to read the story, I say shame.

In sane countries, matters relating to govt funds for intelligence is never discussed in public. The witness was perm. secm in ministry of special duties and he simply did his job to counter-sign a cheque for payment.

Such funds are used for some intelligence deals made by FG which are sometimes dirty in the eyes of the public.

I won't say much about this but NAIJA is a joke.

what you are saying only applicable in sane countries, naija is not

most of these funds ended up as campaign funds, if the purpose was for intelligence/security, the govt would not have made it public

they all felt fortunato will win the elections, hence no need to cover their tracks

imagine, Dokpesi saying he received funds from NSA for PDP campaigns. if he had said he received such funds for "media campaign against Boko haram" that would have been a different ball game.

In the same sane countries, security funds is subject to checks & balances by the Senate excerpt "blackbook or off the book funds"

these funds weren't tagged that, the funds were released for specific purpose to combat boko haram.

now, the boko haram funds are being found in individual accounts/company accounts & you want the govt not to prosecute

Phoenix11:
i feel like you spoke my mind.

ive looked for job tirelessly but to no avail, my colleagues that have gotten even started telling me that no company wants a female engineer nd i better start looking for secretary or customer care jobs......i refuse to give up
I think the mistake you made which ive been making is goin for interviews without being adequately prepared forgetting that most of dis company wont let you apply again until after 2years.
So take your time to adequately prepare for you test especially online test.

The Hardship Is Real In Port Harcourt. (with Pic]


The hunger& hardship in pH is getting serious. People can't eat well again, even payment of house rents is hard, making many families to relocate to Batcher or stay in uncompleted buildings. In this picture, you see how families have taken over this abandoned building along aba road.

people have been living in uncompleted building since time immemorial, batchers, under the bridge etc

this is not new

rexzqcom:


Plea bargains must be adjudicated by competent court of law for admissibility in trails. Means of obtaining the confessional bargains must be legal. Tortures, intimidating and coercive interrogations produced evidence are not viable evidence. People admit and do anything required to stop painful inflictions on them. Even when they are perfectly innocents.

innocent to refund monies they didn't steal??

vascey:
Very good.
However, whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty.
I dare say that the government and its agents could be sued for libel and character defamation if they publish a list of corrupt individuals who have not yet been found guilty by a competent court.
As for those that will comment on money returned, that is a good thing. But our constitution has penalties and jail terms for those who are found guilty. Governance and administration of justice have been separated in the constitution so that the government can not apply justice in which ever way it feels comfortable with. That is abuse!
And PMB has sworn to uphold that constitution. So if he publishes a list of non-convicted corrupt persons, hope it starts with his name for fraudulently breaking an oath he swore to uphold.

Dear PMB, I don't need a list. I need the corrupt ones sent to jail and proceeds of corruption confiscated. That is the only way to show that this fight is transparent and ensure that up and coming leaders take a cue; and traditional social morals are upheld. We need a strong system and not a strong man. Publish your list only when they have been found guilty, convicted and are rotting in jail.

the list is for monies recovered & from whom it was recovered!!

How does that amount to abuse?

that should let you know that a form of plea bargaining was done

ubaobi:
Who is the judge and jury. Only a competent court of law has the right to declare anyone corrupt. An accused is presumed innocent until proven otherwise. As much as I support the fight against corruption, this is definitely not the way to go about it we are gradually sliding into an abyss of lawlessness and dictatorship. This disrespect for due process and the rule of law is disheartening.

I don't get you, public funds was found in their possesion, some of it was returned as a form of plea bargaining

now govt wants to publish the names of those who returned funds & you say it's an abuse of power

which competent court declared abacha corrupt or ruled that abacha stole money? But his loots have been returned & still returned

which one sounds better & believable?

1. Abacha's $320million stolen funds about to be repatriated or has been recovered

2.$320million looted by a former head of state about to be recovered or has been recovered

I await your answers

pls what's the difference between bills raised by the house of reps & the Senate?

do bills start out from the house of reps & then ends in the Senate or what

BeastAmbition:
Buhari is a learner.

The statutory distribution of revenue from the federal account had been controversial as well as contentious. It is instructive to note that, the exclusive federal jurisdiction over natural resources applies only to oil and gas, and not to palm oil, cocoa, hides, skin and solid mineral. Understandably, this appears to be the main reason for the agitation of the people of the Niger Delta.

Why is it oil and gas revenue alone is being shared across the country out of all the solid minerals?

Nigeria constitution needs to be rewritten, because it favours only the well to do (rich) people in the society.

Nigerian state inherited obnoxious laws that made Niger Delta a victim of internal colonialism.

I hope soon Niger Delta will be given the right of resource control.

is it buhari that will rewrite the law?

don't they know the address of national assembly?

freeze001:


I had my reasons for asking you if you had any idea of the contents of that report. Your response here shows you don't. You see, Nigeria's first problem is her constitution. Chapter II tells of all the duties owed the citizens by the government yet prevents citizens from being able to question the failure of the government to meet these fundamental duties because the court is expressly robbed of that power.

The CONFAB effectively recommends a decentralised government with the regions responsible for their funding and development with agreed shares to the centre. The reason states are in dire straits and unable to pay salaries is that their major source of income, oil, hit the rocks due to price crashes along with kleptomaniac leaders/thieves in power from time immemorial. Now with self development which the CONFAB recommends, there will almost immediate diversification of the economy which the FG has never been successful in. This must happen because not all regions have oil...simple! Therefore they must discover and develop what they do have. Regions having to cater for themseves in smaller units will decide how many administrative units or lgas they need, no more arbitrary creation by the NASS.

The National Assembly is also recommended by the CONFAB to be on part time basis with allowances paid per sitting. This will definitely reduce the amount they control now. With six regions, there will be no need for the over bloated number of NASS members we have now and they will be paid by their regional govts to represent them at the centre.

Developmental needs will be met faster because a lot of things on the Executive list will be shed and the Central govt will mainly control external security covering the Army, Navy and Air Force, foreign/external relations, minting and printing of currency, inter state roads, railways etc. Policing will be purely regional for internal security. A region can easily partner with investors and build refineries, seaports, airports, other critical infrastructure, control and operate them and thus generate revenue for itself.

I cannot go on and on here cos there's so many details but hopefully this gives u an idea. So yes, our current system of govt encourages too much corruption and being as far removed/isolated from the people as they are, it is difficult to demand accountability. And so to answer your questions, it is implementation of CONFAB that will change the mind of those blowing up our pipelines; demand good governance and accountability for all Nigerians as a matter of law and necessity; make Bayelsa, Ekiti, Osun, Yobe, Imo and all other states self sufficient enough to pay salaries and develop speedily and stop us from paying our legislators the highest salary in the world.

The recommendations of the CONFAB do not favour any political party or region so it has nothing to do with PDP.

why is everyone chanting buhari's name, can the report be implemented by executive order?

it has to go through NASS before they can beome law, so if buhari isn't saying anything about it, we should turn to NASS to look into it

famzynet:
That woman is just a gold digger sent to bring down pastor Chris. I pity people who see her as a pastor. I am sure she is now happy for pastor Chris UK church given to her as entitlement. I don't attend Christ embassy but I hate that woman for her wicked action.

kindly read this part, in case you missed it

Further to the formal notification of the dissolution of marriage made by my Solicitors earlier this year, please note that this has not changed; and I am no longer a part of Christ Embassy aka Believer’s Loveworld or any such organisation in any capacity

so where did you get your entitlement news?

sammyj:
We no pmb is clean but what about his political associate!!!

didn't you hear him say, he might have immunity but others don't,so you can go ahead & probe his campaign funds

the man even went further to say if someone donates 100millon, he should be asked where he got that amount from?

you nor read the article? na only the headline you read

we have 3 arms of government, if executive says they won't look into the confab report, then legislative arm should look into it

after all, they are the ones that will finally pass it into law

so what's all these noise about buhari not implementing it?

fitzmayowa:



Sometimes PMB justifies his name tag has been a dulla..rd, why say something like this when the confab report is what addresses the fundamental issues nigeria is facing...SMH

why didn't jona implement it??

why didn't he start it on time say 2011 or 2012 so that he can have sufficient time to implement it

hope you are aware most of the recommendation has to be delibrated upon by NASS before it can be passed into law

that's one of buhari grouse, you spend billions in getting a bunch of folks to do NASS job & at the end of the day, you send that same paper back to NASS

isn't that waste of time & money?

when NASS hurriedly passed over 100 bills into law, why didn't jona see to it that some of the recommendations were included?

now you want to force it down on buhari?

the guy don talk truth, him never open am to read, make e dey gather dust for there
