Kyase:
The embattled former NationalSecurity Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki had asked for an open trial, promising to spill the beans and bring the house down with him. He is doing just that.In a latest development, Sambi Dasuki has indicted former Senate President DavidMark in the over $2.3billion arms purchase scandal rocking top functionaries and leaders of the People’s Democratic Party in the last few days according to reports obtained from the EFCC by ourcorrespondent.According to detailed revelations made by the Director of Finance in the ONSA, Senator David Mark had through a proxy and a company operated by his younger brother, Igoche Mark received cash totaling about N10.7billion from the embezzled sum to fund his last senatorial campaign in Benue State.From the reports, he received at two installments the sum ofN7.2 billion in one batch and another N5.5 billion as contracts sum for non-existing bids and receivedfull payments shortly before the last general elections.Checks by the Special Fraud Unit has confirmed that Senator David Mark who has been building a war chest while acting as Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria received various payments for non-existing contracts from agencies and parastatals of government including the nowrested immigration recruitment scandal where hisprotege, Comrade Abba Moro defrauded the country to the tune of N800, 000, 000:00 using a company belonging toMrs Mark.It will be recalled that recently Col. Sambo Dasuki had revealed that some chieftains of the PDP including Alhaji Atahiru Bafarawa and Raymond Dokpesi participated in the diversion ofhuge sums of money to consulting spiritualists and political campaigns respectively.This has generated so much tension in the country as many well meaning Nigerians are calling for a total probe; a process that may lead all indicted persons including theformer Senate President to jails as the days to come may unveil.

The tenure of OPEC's presidency is a year. Ibe Kachikwu's tenure will end on 31st of December so, it's only normal that election should be conducted to elect his successor. And please note, Ibe Kachikwu remains OPEC president till when the president-elect takes over on January 1st, 2016.

NgeneUkwenu:
And That's exactly why PDP Was The Problem. Those people you listed were not under immunity during Jonathana's time bar Amaechi, what stopped the Corrupt jonathan from Going after them?

BADNEAT:

This guy always wanna be in the news even if it's for negativity. You challenge your Governor openly to be in the news? You challenge your President as well to be in the news? You do everything possible to always be heard! It's high time you kept shut.

disloman:
Hmmm.Why can't PDP probe,investigate or arrest APC members when they were in power abi make I put am to you this way for your brain to grab what I'm saying.Why didn't PDP also fight corruption when they were in power.That Uyo water wey una dey drink dey affect una reasoning.Stop drinking such water.Nough said.

Those are robots who were programmed to do whatever their masters want.I've said this earlier if people were privileged to some documents,they will burn Jona alive.

PassingShot:
PDP is very predictable with its victim mentality! A useless party that brought sixteen years of pains, sorrows and sufferings on Nigerians.

How has Dokpesi been pronounced guilty by being arrested by EFCC?

Even, kids know that arresting suspects comes before prosecution. And so far, not a single one of those arrested has been held beyond the time limit stipulated by the nation's law. So, where is the lawlessness or persecution you cry of?

PDP and its sympathizers should understand that crying wolves and releasing statements calling on international community will not help them a bit. Not when available evidences do not prove anything against the government.

To be sincere, some of us are even angry that the nation's laws are preventing PMB/DSS/EFCC/ICPC from packing all the Dasukis, Yugudas, Bafarawas, Dokpesis, Oritsejafors, Diezanis and locking them up in jail for as long as necessary. They all trampled upon our constitution in sabotaging the economy and security of the country, yet they expect the same law to protect them from being brought to justice!

I wish Buhari was a military head of state as we speak.

chukwudi44:
So mumu what Jonathan the one in power when the bam girls was kidnapped a few days ago? I wonder what you have in your grey matter.

Keneking:
Great job....if only Jonathan had allowed the police and other relevant security bodies to do their job last April, the case of the kidnapped students at Chibok would have been different.

Jonathan sef

kYjelly2:
Is this really the truth?

You say Jesus loves you, but he also advocated for the truth right. Now I am no saint, but I'm calling your conscience out here.

You say, subsidy removal makes sense now, simply because you TRUST one man over the other?

One man claimed there indeed was subsidy and that indeed, we needed to remove it - GEJ

The other man said, there was nothing like subsidy and that the government was a fraud for subsidizing petrol - Buhari

Yet, the latter man now said, he now knows there is subsidy and that, it is now safe to remove it - Buhari

Yet, you sir! Yes you Jesuslovesyou, are saying that we should now applaud a man who out rightly vilified another for an issue which he now supports and you say we should do this simply because you trust him?

disloman:
You are a goat.Sorry for the language.

systemz:
Lolzzz. Guy ur moniker na die!!!

saintopus:
Good thinking good product!!

Am from Rivers, and we have been on the receiving end of this subsidy. I bought a litre of fuel few minutes ago in black market for N200 per litre. We advocated a total deregulation but some people' occupied Ojota' and Abuja wishing that hell should fall because of the removal of fuel subsidies. Today they are now advocating for the same thing we all wanted 3yrs ago.
This is a high level of hypocrisy.!
To me,you simply can't eat your cake and have it.

Since they wanted subsidies to remain, so be it!

This GEJ sef!

I will for ever remember you!

obailala:
Feel free and please yourself.. but if I may ask, what is this big space you keep leaving whenever you type messages?.... Is that part of your own opposition?

obailala:
Are you opposing for opposing sake or are you opposing just so you have an opportunity to throw insults?... For how long can you possibly continue to remain in this condition?.... In a democracy, everyone cannot be pleased at the same time, some people want one candidate, others want another candidate. At the end, only one candidate wins an election. I understand you are pained that a candidate you hated won the election but for how long will you continue to act like an abandoned lover with a broken heart?...

obailala:
I hope your mannerlessness actually gives you peace. By the way, if PMB doesnt know what subsidy is, isn't that a good reason why he shouldn't be paying it?

bolajJP007:
You are a big fool for writing such rubbish.

Was it not your useless GEJ that put us in this situation. If he had saved when the price of crude oil was high, our foreign reserve would have helped cussion the effect of what we are going through now, but he squandered everything.

Do you know its so hard for Nigeria to sell its quota of crude oil even at the price of $41?

Your hatred for PMB will kill you.

But God is already punishing your generations na. What are you doing about your generational suffering?

Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun has told Nigerian Civil Servants not to justify stealing of public funds because of poor salaries. Adeosun stated this while inaugurating the Efficiency Unit of the Ministry Of Finance in Abuja yesterday November 30th.

"We are going to look up all the causes that make government spending extremely inefficient and we are going to circulate those results to the agencies so that they will get a circular saying this is on paper and if you go above it, the Permanent Secretary or whoever is approving it needs to have a reason for doing so.

We are setting a benchmark; at the moment, there are no guidelines; and where there are no guidelines, there is no sin. So, we need to establish those guidelines to guide how people spend money. We cannot justify stealing and say because my salary is low so it justifies stealing. Not everybody steals and not everybody is willing to steal, and stealing is not a way to address low remuneration.

Stealing is stealing and it is a crime; you cannot steal and say because my salary is low that was why I stole; what about people who have no salaries? Stealing is stealing and we must address it. It is not acceptable. We need to address it and we will do so very aggressively. There is no excuse for stealing.”she said

Adeosun said the introduction of the Efficiency Unit in the ministry was to checkmate the manner in which government money is being spent in this very challenging economic times.

“Our own initial reviews have found wide variations in the prices of basic items between departments and within agencies. Printer cartridges of the same specification ranged in price from N16,000 to N62,000".she said

She said that the obvious differences in these items will no longer be tolerated in these economic hard times.

Truth be told, the promise I remember was N5k to the poorest and vulnerable Nigerians... Lai Mohammed may be right on this one.

Those with opposing views should provide evidence pointing to the contrary.
