Prof Corruption: Does she have power to authorize purchase of cars running to $1.6 millions without an approval by the Federal Executive Council?
Can she authorize expenditure to the tune of N255 million without approval by FEC?
Is there a provision for the purchase of these cars in the Ministry of Aviation's budget for 2013 fiscal year?
What do we call extra-budgetary expenditures?
Was there a tender or bid process as itemized in due process of public procurement in Nigeria?
Where was it advertised before Coscharis was chosen for the job?
Is she even entitled to buy a personal car considering the monetisation policy in operational at the moment?

What about the criminal dimension of inflated costs?

When corruption is reported in any government, the onus is on the leader to confront it headlong to prevent entrenching impunity. Obasanjo took the following actions:

1. Fabian Osuji was sacked for corruption related cases.
2.Sunday Afolabi was disgraced and was rumored to have committed suicide when the shame was unbearable for him.
3. Adolphous Wabara was forced to eat the humble pie.
4. Osomo, former housing minister was sacked for corruption related cases, an opening that allowed Mimiko to be appointed a minister.

Yar'Adua asked Grange, former health minister, to resign immediately when allegations of corruption were made against her.

You can't prevent anyone from being corrupt, but when a case of corruption is reported, the onus is on the leader of such administration to act.
This is even beyond Stella Oduah, the case in point is the credibility and integrity of this administration. We are saying Jonathan should even pretend for once that he's fighting corruption? This is a test case for him. It's a complex case of profligacy, criminal abuse of office, conflict of interest and cronyism woven into one disturbing narrative of unbelievable impunity.


PS:
Of course, tons of emotions can be shed on why Yoruba "hate" Igbo or why Igbo are being "persecuted". But did Yoruba force her to acquire such cars?

Prof Corruption: Laughable! Stella is a goner and a stale news. Stella is representing a state in Federal Executive Council. Her replacement will come from that state. When Barth Nnaji was fired, he wasn't replaced with a Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani or Ijaw etc. He was replaced by a fellow Igbo from his state. So, I don't understand this mentality of Yoruba and Hausa working against you when the very replacement for this woman is 100% certain to be Igbo!

Even when Festus Odimegwu, a fine gentleman whose only undoing was talking too much, was removed, his replacement (in acting capacity) is still an Igbo. So what's the fuss about! It's not like others are taking anything from you. We should all condemn corruption, fiscal irresponsibility, abuse of office and conflict of interest when there is one. We know there's tribalism in Nigeria but we should all have an irreducible minimum that can't be tolerated. There is not one strand of logical point to defend Stella. On moral basis, she is standing on a shaking ground. On legal basis, she is completely wrong. So why are you defending her even in the face of preponderance of very damning and damaging evidence?

As regards your EZE ONLYLIES's pedestrian central thesis that Stella is being hounded because of international airport in Enugu, one would think there was only one airport in the country before. If Port Harcourt, the oil capital of Nigeria, did not upset traffic in Lagos, Abuja and Kano, what exactly is in Enugu and it's environs that presents such a threat to Lagos, Abuja and Kano airports?

Stella is a thief. She should be sacked, prosecuted and sent to jail for criminal abuse of abuse.

INNO18: it would be the final nail in Ngige's coffin, Oduah would personally come to Anambra and Campaign against him.

musiwa29: he was a yoruba man. he is allowed to do that. 5 million canadian women will be childless. in the usa 35 million women will be childless. it is becoming a serious problem.

in our culture will make childless women have at least one child. childless is consider a bad thing. we believe every woman most have at least one child. we celebrate it.

cashkid18: udo nah,bt non of ur kinsmen wil b there for nw

lygn19: LoL... That wud make sense o, Ojukwu Aviation minister, he wud break world record.

cashkid18: if she eventually resigns due to pressure,gej wil elect an ibo person to continue frm wia she stopd jst lyk he nid in formal power minister's case

agbameta: Your pain, sadness and sorrow can not alter the above reality, this is kind of stories that brings joy and happiness to the people of Lagos and the reason why we need and have a productive and credible leader...unlike your village peppersoup and borehole village governors of course.....lmao

cjrane: [size=18pt]12 Other Airports around the country are being remodeled and modernized right now as we speak!

Those that hate Nigeria's development should go and hug a wet transformer after a heavy rainfall![/size]
