It is not, it's called humility, if you talk say na lie then Yoruba own na weakling too, because, a yoruba person fit greet person wey young pass am by far.

No problem, only time will tell, it is even sooner than we think. I pray they give this man petroleum minister.

tinuolababy:
So he's also against buhari?



I'm not surprised cos he looks like an I**o

As in. Igbos are handsome? Right

Yeah, right step in the right direction.

This is the type of headline that attracts curse to it's author, why would you summarise the post to make it appear as if there was a collaboration between the minister and the NNPC to divert the fund? Post the full version.

The heart of men they say are desperately wicked!

What of the zulu king in SA, including that killer Abraham oriyo of a doctor?

How did we get ourselves in this mess?

Sentiment aside, buhari will make a great presidency and I will personally vote for him if he gets things right.

I implore APC to give him free hand to perform since Nigeria belongs to everybody. If things work, it works for everybody and reverse is the case when it goes awry.

God help Buhari to succeed!

And my question remains, why has any thread on this been removed or deleted and that of Oba wasn't, does it mean that the man never made the comment or what?


Moderator should know that what goes around comes around. And sometime we partake in another man evil by simply not talking or offering protection to the culprit.

Tell me how on earth would such person, with all the education and enlightenment could not grow above hate and tribalism?

After years of toxic pollution and devastating
effects from corruption, Nigeria – Africa's
most populous country – has become a
wasteland. It's not a coincidence that Nigeria
is a center for different kinds of corruption
parasites.
Bayo Oluwasanmi
There are corruption parasites of all kinds in
Nigeria. One variety is when officials pocket
budget funds for their departments. Another is
when bankers embezzle depositors money and
when the bankers collude with ministers to
defraud the state. Yet another is couched in
ambiguous terms such as “security vote” for
governors, “stomach infrastructure,”
“mobilization fee,” “constituency allowance,”
and so many corruption laden bogus aliases.
The Nigerian poor is caged in all avenues, in
every direction, are blocked and booby trapped
by corruption. The experience of poor
Nigerians is that their living is confined and
shaped by forces and barriers which are not
accidental or occasional hence avoidable, but
initiated and entrenched by their own
government.
Look around you, you'll find government anti-
graft agencies with different alphabetical soup
names that serve no purpose in fighting
corruption. The anti-graft agencies are a
classic case of the therapeutic treatment
applied to treat disorders created by the
government itself.
Corruption is both a major cause and a result
of poverty in Nigeria. It occurs at all levels of
our society – local, state, and national
governments, civil society, judiciary functions,
large and small businesses, military and other
services and so on.
The poverty foisted upon our people is
exclusively a creature of the government in
consensual economic dealings anchored on
corruption. Conditions of concentrated poverty
are visible and prevalent in our
neighborhoods. Nigerians bleed from
corruption and like the President-elect rightly
said “If we do not kill corruption in this
country, corruption will kill Nigerians.” There is
no better way to say this.
One of the pillars of democracy is
transparency. Citizens have right to know
what goes on in the government. Citizens
should be given the chance to contribute their
input before decisions are made on their
behalf. People should have the right to probe
unaccountability in government.
It is obvious that the poor are the most hard
hit by corruption. Corruption undermines our
political development, democracy, economic
development, our people's health and much
more. At all levels corruption makes it difficult
for our people to effectively participate in our
democracy: the people's interests are not
represented. Corruption has made our lives
more painful and unbearable.
For years and especially the Jonathan years,
newspaper headlines compete for stories on
ministers and other top government officials
embroiled in scams that involve millions and
billions. Despite the huge uproar and
campaigns and deeper highlight on corruption
by various organizations, little has been done
to stem the tide of corruption. No one is
surprised why the fight on corruption is so
hard and seems impossible to fight. Indeed,
our government in collusion with powerful
interests have always made corruption difficult
to fight.
Come May 29, President Muhammadu Buhari
should make it harder for any Nigerian to
embezzle millions and billions. Buhari can
learn another strategy for tackling corruption
from the Chinese and the Vietnamese. In
Vietnam, they don't just send unscrupulous
financiers to jail, they send them to death row.
In China, corruption is punishable with the
death penalty if the sums acquired illegally go
beyond a certain threshold.
According to Vietnam's Tuoi news outlet, last
year Vietnam sentenced three corrupt bankers
to death by firing squad. Two of the bankers
on death row embezzled $25 million from the
state owned Vietnam Agribank. A 57-year old
former regional boss from Vietnam
Development Bank, another government-run
bank, was sentenced to death over a $93
million swindling job. Several of his colleagues
were sentenced to life imprisonment after they
confessed to securing bogus loans with a
diamond ring and a BMW coupe. But for most
part, Nigerian bankers whose greed nearly
caused financial collapse of our banking and
financial institutions and economic melt down
didn't get indicted. They got bonuses.
The Chinese people viscerally hate corruption
and are reluctant to see the death penalty
dropped. They do not see why corrupt officials
should benefit from foreign standards on
human rights. “Corrupt officials who deserve
the death sentence should all be executed by
shooting. Otherwise, they will find a way to
save their lives with the money they have
embezzled,” says Zou Xingyu, a Chinese
commentator on Tencent Weibo, a popular
micro-blogging site.
Chinese criminal law states that anyone who
embezzles more than 100,00 yuan ($16,340)
can be sentenced to death. In 1980s 103
Chinese officials at the level of ministers or
above were tried in court and 80 per cent were
found guilty of bribery and embezzlement. Six
were sentenced to death, 27 were given
suspended to life imprisonment, and 44 were
given sentences of varying lengths. In 2011,
two corrupt deputy mayors of Suzhou and
Hangzhou in China were sentenced to death
while the head of the State Food and Drug
Administration was executed for corruption.
The current level of corruption in Nigeria is
systemic and widespread and calls for drastic
solution. It is so entrenched that it is the rule
rather than the exception. It is no
exaggeration to say that few honest officials
are victims in a country that lacks democracy,
supervision, and a weak judicial system
manned by corrupt judges. I believe the only
drastic and effective deterrence to kill
corruption before it wipes out Nigeria and
Nigerians is to make corruption punishable by
death – execution by firing squad.
By the decisive electoral victory of Buhari in
the presidential elections, Nigerians seem to
be saying “We're behind you in your crusade
against corruption. Do whatever it takes to kill
corruption including the use of death penalty.”
In our determined march toward a new Nigeria
under Buhari, how about making examples of
three rotten corrupt officials with high
visibility – Femi Fani-Kayode, Ayo Fayose,
and Doyin Okupe – known for their insane
combativeness and statements loaded with
expletive epithets – as the first causalities of
corruption by execution?
Fani-Kayode is the director of media and
publicity of the Jonathan Campaign
Organization. Indicted by EFCC since 2008,
he's been in court on and off, off and on, in a
N100 million money laundering case preferred
against him. Fayose who became governor of
Ekiti State for the second time via Ekitigate
election rigging scam is also indicted by EFCC
for $1.2 billion poultry scam. Okupe, senior
special assistant to Jonathan on public affairs
and the erstwhile chairman of Romix Solifix
International (Nigeria) Limited, is on EFCC
caseload for N800 million road construction
contract that he failed to execute. He got the
money and just disappeared to Aso Rock
under the protective umbrella of Jonathan. All
other felons indicted by EFCC should face the
same punishment.
A crime buried with justice is never laid to
rest. Destroyers of our economy and lives of
our people should be given swift and severe
punishment. Death penalty for corruption
should be our favorite method of fighting
corruption and will serve as a sweet revenge
for poor Nigerians – victims of corruption.

And what have you faced for all the insults coming from you? If you claim ignorant of them, just don't go far as this your post is one of them.

What of Oba of Lagos, if his name is not there then the list is fake?

jmoore:
You buy crude oil for you car, abi?
Thanks for advertising your "intellect".

SLIDEwaxie:
dude, stop worrying my life. Where did u put crude oil in your first post?

You two are damn too intelligent and funny at the same time, meanwhile, Buhari can stabilise the oil price by projecting a low oil benchmark, thereby stabilising the economy which I believe is what he wanted to say.

Why would the market be closed? the best I expected from the LG is to call the two parties to order. The money they collect is not for the traders so, why close the market. If the government does not have stake in the mkt then, let them scrap it off.
Who is fooling who? You beat in the bush and come out to be asking silly questions.

APC only won the election simply because PDP failed to win.

Lia should save his training for 2019

That's why I wanted PDP in power knowing fully well that they will not make a better opposition, anyways, we are here and on other social media.

This woman was very hard working in the ministry of works. And for the news of her disappearance?, only time will tel!

So, GEJ and GMB are on the same page, that is 1 - 1

OP, bring out another contest.

What a shocking news if true, just like hearing that chief promoter of Gay right donated for Jonathan's campaign.

nobody should worry, it will be taken care of. change is near!

This na photoshop, even people wey carry am nko? They supposed to know
.
Abeg tell me another story.

It is obvious that law makers are just not happy with fayose and not that fayose is bad. It's just about power tussle and nothing more.

zekki:
is not possible

It is possible, the redundant ones to be precise.

And what would US bring to the table, Gay right?

This shows how disconnected they were to the Gej administration.

Femi Falana should bury his head in shame for being used by the politicians to cause disorder, where was he when his paymaster was milking Lagosians dry? beside being on the opposition, I do not see any other crime of fayose.

As for GEJ hand over date of 28th, thought we all wanted him out like yesterday, that his government is non existence, he should resign , this and that.

I will take femi serious in this upcoming regime, if he uses the same tenacity to criticise the government when if it does anything wrong.

This is just annoying, this shouldn't have happened if EFCC was efficient. This is the major reason PDP failed. They acted as they were in a banana republic. They exploited the lenient nature of Gej negatively.

garrix8:
What did the useless Jonadunce do about it during his six-year misrule?
The fool did nothing about it yet some foolish and clannish dolts wanted us to return such a failed simpleton as President for a second term.
Thank God his sorry A55 got kicked out.
Jonadunce remains an eternal M O R O N

ITbomb:
Ameachi will come and complete it

The building is NDDC headquarters and the last time I checked, money was being allocated to the agency, so, the head of the agency should be held accountable and no other person.

Not a problem at all, Anybody can swear him in if it becomes a necessity and there's no chief judge do it just like the case of baptism.

What goes around comes around
