koruji: Are you kidding?
GEJ's weakness is what makes this possible

What concern GEJ about this. Have you forgotten what is called Principle of separation of powers. What do you expect GEJ to do put Facroock in prison without due process and its people like you that will tag him as autocratic. You just can't hide your hatred for GEJ and I wonder how far you want to go with this behaviour.

Youngzedd: Total removal of what?
Did u smoke weed? (Sorry for the harsh word though)

What have you done to subsidy scammers now u want to remove it entirely and enrich the pocket of morons.
what result did we get from those scammers that were found guilty.

If say na joke better stop am Mr President.

We no be M.U.M.U

una wan do coding again abi.

Where is Pastor Tunde Bakere.

Bros no be GEJ go prosecute the scammers o. And if he should poke nose too much una go accuse him of him of being a dictator. If the relevant agencies and authorities refused to do their jobs na GEJ go do am for them. He has tried to expose the fraudsters and u want him to prosecute and jail them when we have judiciary and police not doing their jobs. I still believe principle of separation of powers is still in Nigeria constitution

ochukwuma15: Nigerian judiciary is in a mess right now. A lot of corrupt practices is going on in the judiciary.

Lawyers, judges, magistrates and other judiciary workers do know that for you to be rich, you have to turn a blind eye and allow evil to thrive in the country.

It's sad and sympathetic that all these vices are happening during the reign of Mrs. Mariam Aloma Muktar, a woman i respect so much, but i'm suspecting that her hands are tied. She can do little or nothing to fight corrupt Nigerians who you and i knows vividly what they can do.

For Nigerian corrupt citizens to be arraigned properly in court and be jailed, the president must be out to fight corruption and Goodluck Ebele Jonathan i know will never do that because of reasons best known to him.

Hope is a gift to mankind from Almighty, Nigerians should hope that one day, God will change the status quo, till then, our hope lies sadly on the british judiciary ........ Chuks writes from Enugu, Nigeria.

I think that Murktar Aloma woman promised to sanitise our judicial system, she just kept mute sine she was sworn in. Nigeria we hail thee

Prof Corruption: In any corruption case: there must be a giver, the receiver and evidence. The law does not exonerate the giver.

But what about a situation where the giver had already informed the security agency and the money was maked before handling it over to the receiver. Meanwhile the security angency hesitated to arrest the receiver with the excuse that they wanted to use the marked money as a bait for other corrupt representative whom Frouk might be fronting for. Let us be guided and follow events well before passing comments.

Any advocate of Dino in the house should just tell me the type of business Dino has done that gave him this stupendous wealth? If no the guy na donkey fucker.

A 59-year-old Nigerian neurosurgeon at Providence Hospital, Dr. Ikemba Iweala, husband of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has confessed that he started an affair with a 20-something year old nurse who hailed from his native country. But what happened next, authorities say, made him a hapless victim of a scam that has been pulled in Nigerian communities around the world.

The nurse and a mysterious partner began demanding that the doctor turn over large sums of money — overtime, a total of $180,000 — to keep the affair a secret from the doctor’s wife, a prominent World Bank official and Brookings Institution scholar. They said they had pictures of him and the nurse during assignations in a car.

The doctor paid up, but his wife found out anyway, according to court papers filed in the case, and now the whole sorry mess is being painfully replayed at the federal courthouse in Washington, where the nurse is on trial on extortion charges.

The embarrassed doctor told the jury that his stupidity sullied his and his family’s reputation and seriously wounded his marriage.

“Things will never be the same,” a frail-looking, gray-bearded Ikemba Iweala said with a sigh as he testified on November 2. “I am still married. . . . But I feel very angry at myself. And, I have lost a lot of money.”

Iweala hoped to conceal the affair and protect his community standing in the United States and in Nigeria, he acknowledged to prosecutors. Other members of his family, based in the cozy suburb of Potomac and with high profiles in their own fields, had much at stake as well.
His wife, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, is a former foreign and finance minister for Nigeria and a veteran employee of the World Bank. She is a Harvard-educated economist and was mentioned as a possible successor to Paul D. Wolfowitz, who resigned as president in June. This month, the new World Bank president, Robert B. Zoellick, made her one of his top deputies.

Uzodinma Iweala, the couple’s son, who graduated from St. Albans and Harvard, is the author of the critically acclaimed “Beasts of No Nation,” his first novel. The fictionalized story of an African child warrior was released last year.

The doctor’s paramour, Queen Nwoye, 28, on trial before U.S. District Judge Ellen S. Huvelle, insisted that she, too, was a victim.

Testifying in her own defense, she admitted yesterday that she helped collect the money and helped her boyfriend, Adriane Osuagwu, pretend to be her cousin so he could conceal his identity. But with a sullen face and insistent cries, Nwoye testified that she was powerless to resist the orders of Osuagwu, whom she described as a physically abusive, controlling man and the scheme’s mastermind.

“This is a sad case,” Nwoye’s attorney, John Iweanoge, told jurors in opening statements earlier in the week. “You’re going to hear evidence of adultery, no question. You’re going to hear about money going into Ms. Nwoye’s accounts.”

But, the defense attorney continued, “Ms. Nwoye was a victim too, She made the mistake of her life falling in love in the middle of a divorce with the wrong man.”

According to court papers, the story began in early 2002 when Nwoye, then a nurse in training, noticed the doctor’s name in a hospital directory. She said she recognized Iweala as a fellow Nigerian and introduced herself. They became friends, and, in September 2002, they became lovers. The sexual relationship ended in August 2003, they both said, but their

friendship continued.
Nearly three years later, in February 2006, Iweala testified, he received a surprise call from Nwoye. She told Iweala that he must call her cousin “Ufondu” in Georgia. It was then that “Ufondu,” an alias that the nurse’s new boyfriend was using, demanded that the doctor pay $20,000 or he would tell Iweala’s wife about the affair.

Culled from Washington Post.

What is the relationship of this post to the topic that is being discussed?

234GT: But Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's husband, a medical doctor in the US, was involved in a horrible sex scandal with a nurse. Make she face her husband joor!

What brought about the digression now. If you cannot contribute meaning fully to the post can't you shut up your trap. What concerns Okonjo husband on this matter. Talking like you are a saint but saints are in heaven

[quote author=Nwando.l.].I disagree with u,if he had witheld there salaries people like u W̶̲̥̅̊Iι̥ι̥ still say its too harsh aπϑ demand for a simple warning instead. We need harsh treatment in dis country for thing to move smoothly[/quote]I buy your idea my brother. We really need harsh penalties for indolent and corrupt people in this country. The only reasons why people are blaming the president is that he needs not spare anybody. The only language Nigerian people understand is serious punishments. Others will sit tight now and Edo will be a cynosure in the committee of states in terms of educational development etc

sadeiyare: One of the reason for this is because most Men are just too demanding, because they have this stone-age mentality about marriage.

It was that stone age mentality that made marriages worked then. What do we have now. What you even have as good marriage now in carrier women is either the husband is compromising his staus as d husband because of lack of financial capabilities. That is why some carrier women find it very appropriate to marry guys that are below them financially or end up being second or third wife.

obadiah777: IGNORAMUS

Thank you my brother. They should go and ask Lebanon.

la furia: is not who wins the war that will be isreals problem but damage to the land of isreal if iran launch 2 nuclear weapons to isreal. the damage a nuclear bomb does can only be best imagined. we can ask about hiroshima. if one tsar bomba (russia nuclear weapons) is used in lagos, it will wipe out lagos and ogun state. nobody wins a war when both sides have nukes, reason isreal wants an early strike.

So Israel will be watching Iran launching nuclear weapon on them. My brother war technology has advanced more than this. Israel is loved by God and there is no argument about this, anybody that wants to disclaim this should ask Moses the punishment meted on him for calling God's beloved people rebels

bibiking1: deport them! Quickly

Are u jealous? Why being so callous?

Good radiance to bad rubbish.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]You intellectuals and elitists should be ashamed of yourselves for promoting the violation of human rights of fellow Nigerians instead of spending energy to prevent same.

This action by Ogun state cannot be enforced and will be resisted by force. The state official who made this announcement is irresponsible and just playing for cheap publicity - I await his enforcement of this rule.

I'll probably work to organize herdsmen to dare authorities to enforce this rule. Nonesense!!![/quote]I pity u, if members of your family have been injured or killed by any of these herdsmen you will not be quoting the useless constitution that does not defend the masses but the rich. A sensitive government wants to do something about this issue u re claiming yeye constitution.

The problem is that Nigerian leaders take action before they think. With cashless or cash lite society do we need 5k notes. As its known in the culture of Nigerians we don't like spending coins unless in ananother country. Why can Sanusi make 100 naira the highest denomination so as to encourage cash less policy. I sense some people wan chop by awarding printing contract. God bless naija

1025: i know this jonathan is never to be taken serious at any time. january this year, he told us that there was no going back but he later came down to 97 and this time around again, he said there was no going back on N5000 note but he is going back now.
the other time he disbanded the super eagles and immediately ppl shouted at him, he changed. instead of behaving like this, the wise thing would be to think very well and make the right consultations before coming to the public to announce.

Do you want him to be dictator? That is the beauty of democracy. If he refused to change is mind will heaven fall. Nigerians will just shout and keep quiet move on with their lives.

naptu2: Well, then in the end your complaint won't make any difference because nobody will be punished.

If you get the info above and (1) send to the media (2) publish online (3) send to the governor (4) make a complaint, then you can make a difference, but the problems continue because people "do not have the time to waste".

And they will continue to be complaining because they don't have time. In every organisation, there are always bad ones and we cannot rule out that. And because there is no follow up to this bad habit of some lastma officials makes them to continue to perpetrate this act, when they know people are taking them up, thius act will reduce drastically.the OP parted with 10k without knowing his offence and if by tomorrow he is arrested again he will continue to be ripped off. Think there is something missing in his post.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]The guy is at one end shaggging another girl while his girlfriend at the other end is shagging another boy. . . . .i think distance relationship is an aggregate of confusion and an energy-demanding task.[/quote]@bluethoot, I found it interesting that people do not say the truth and if they don't why can't they keep quiet. All these people talking about pre marital sex, are they not making love to another girl and the girl friend swagging another man. The question is are they virgins. It is a matter of pretending. Just have to be matured and let the secrets of relationship and marriage be. lies and deceit is part of maturity of marriage.

740megawatts: Ishmael and his descendants in action...May God save us.

What do you expect from descendant of a slave woman. Abraham made a mistake to impregnate Haggai look at d resultant effect. I continue to say it, why will somebody be fighting for his God, is it not God that suppose to fight for what He creates. Now somebody will be preaching that islam is religion of peace. Heavenly father where is thy face of mercy?

Zeddicus: You see their mentality?? Blood thirsty barstewards!!!

Muslim god is so small that they are the one fighting for him. How on earth can one be fighting for his god. My God fights for me cos I am serving a living God

Billyonaire: Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu did not hear that Bill Clinton own a den as huge as the Den of the Lion of Bourdillon at Ikoyi

He did not hear than Bill Clinton 'anointed' Obama

He did not hear that Obama must be answerable and loyal to him personally

He did not see Bill Clinton playing God to Obama

More........

This just about African culture, black mentality and politics of poverty. It is embedded in us. Most of us will do same if we have the opportunity. Its only God that can make a black man be contented with what he has.

Exponental: wahala waa oooo. the poor driver drove against traffic to avoid being robbed and he paying 4 huge amt of money.
preventing bank wahala, jump into govt wahala.
why not arrest the money n leave d driver.

This is not possible. Have u not heard of the fact that banks monies are much more insured than those who watches over them. The driver suppose to know this. In the first instance. Knowledge is about knowing what is operating within your area. I pity him

Truckpusher: they are all married but they luv to flirt and when they finally land in a messy situation all they say is had i known!!!

I always wonder why women always fight for freedom. Is it all about this? Exposing, flaunting bodies. I wonder o. Look at the way most of them argued as if their lives depends on it. No wonder it is said, anything a woman does well is by mistake cos it is from bad and selfish mind she did it.

Cuddlemii: I am so shocked by your thread that I don't know what to say.

It scares me that after the education, love, commitment & hard work, I will still end up in a dictatorial union called marriage. In fact, your thread makes me weep. The rules keep getting worse! Its like being in Kikiri prison, the only advantage is that you get a man to warm your bed!

What are men cooking up next? Wives should not own/use camera phones? No wonder the divorce rate is high these days! This mentality has got to change!
Men have got to realize that women are not dolls/puppets/robots to be toiled around with or tweaked unnecessarily. Women are human beings/adults with their own feelings, needs, wants, desires, decisions, mistakes & ideologies.

Pls stay unmarried, it never by force just by choice

maclatunji: Hahaha, he is still here. You are just seeing another side of him. I can be very blunt and sometimes take no prisoners. Do you have any idea of the number of women who their husbands are maltreating just because of the theme of this thread but don't have a clue? People like harping on "Freedom" whilst they become prisoners everyday as a result of this same "Freedom" O. If you are a married woman, be more circumspect about what you post and share. Your husband may pretend as if he is "cool with it" but deep down he is saying "Girl! You should know better."

I don't post to be popular, I post that which I think is right. Your right to agree or disagree. #Simple

Mac, I really appreciate your gut on this. Most of our women don't know what crosses the mind of their husbands when they are doing this. Some husband do not want to be tagged as chauvinist so they keep quiet. We are Africans and our pride is in what we hid and not what we expose in terms of our body. Oyinbo don't care about divorce in fact an oyinbo woman can marry more than 100 men nobody cares. Let them try it in Naija. Most married and single girls don't care about exposing their bodies these days that is why they are tagged as been cheap. How many ladies have the respect of a 16 year old boy now?

mekaboy: WHEN THE NORTHERN LEADERS CREATED BOKO HARAM, WAS GEJ THERE? WHEN THE EMPOWERED THEM WITH ARMS , WAS GEJ THERE? WHAT HAS EL-RUFAI DONE TO SOLVE THE BOKO HARAM ISSUE ?

WHY ARE NORTHERNERS ASKING GEJ TO STEP DOWN OVER A PROBLEM THEY CREATED? ARE THEY NOT THE SAME PEOPLE THAT WERE SHOUTING WHEN SOLDIERS INVADED THE NORTH, THEY CLAIMED THEY WERE KILLING INNOCENT CITIZENS.

IF THEY KEEP PROVOKING GEJ, HE WILL SEND IN TROUPES AND IT WILL BE VERY BLOODY .

Just like what Obasanjo did to Odi.

Nairalander, bunch of educated illiterates disorientated by ethnic ism. Where is the future of this country? Lord have mercy

It is so interesting how people are insulting themselves because of politicians that are shameless and unpatriotic. In election it is people that will decide, not your comments in Nairaland. Let Mimiko and AACN do their home work very well and winner will surely emerge. How many of Nairalander votes. Stop insulting yourselves and find something better to discus

They are all bunch of jokers. Which budget are they talking about, is it the one that has just been passed not quite long. The news around is that the fund earmarked for subsidy had been expended even since last two months, the honourabless member did not look into this. What about budget implemantation, how far have they gone about this in checking the executive. What they are concerned about is the release of more fund to allow contract to flow for them. May be they should go to Otedola cap in hands for more fund. At least their colleague Lawan refuses to tender the one with him. In a civilized society most of them supposed to rrsign but trust third world country Nigeriam it is the order of the day. God will punish you one by one.

Confusionist
