You can go to School, but you cannot buy Class.

Only Governor without an iota of CLASS in Nigeria. But, again why was i expecting anything good from a PDP Governor.

This is a reaction to the alleged CNN ireport that made frontpage this morning: https://www.nairaland.com/2519816/cnn-investigates-why-buhari-dumped/2#36870336

Its no news or surprise the extent to which the opposition and critics of the Buhari government are willing to go in spreading falsehood and preying on gullible minds for the sole aim of putting pressure on Buhari's government to back down on its anti-corruption stance.

On the alleged report, firstly, visiting the ireport CNN website, you will see a disclaimer clearly written on this questionable report by CNN (http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1259469) which reads:

CNN PRODUCER NOTE CNN iReport is the network’s user-generated news community. The stories here come from our audience and are not edited, fact-checked or screened before they post. If you think this iReport violates our community guidelines, please tell us by clicking on the "This is Inappropriate" button below. You can learn more about how iReport works on our About page. http://ireport.cnn.com/about.jspa

This clearly shows that this news was neither reported nor investigated by CNN. It was clearly the work of a person who has no way of getting any credible news media to investigate or clarify the questionable report, and the best the individual could do was run to the CNN ireport community to propagate falsehood. For the avoidance of doubt, anyone can report anything on CNN ireport website, just like anyone can report anything on nairaland website.

It will also interest you to know that this questionable report possibly has its roots from a vanguard news report on August 29, 2012 titled: Buhari Dares IBB, at a time when Buhari was a presidential aspirant under the platform of CPC. At that point, Buhari had dared IBB to expose any corruption facts he (IBB) had on him (Buhari) while also accusing IBB and other leaders of being the ones who destroyed this country. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/corruption-buhari-dares-ibb/

There are also insinuations that Kashim Afegbua who was implicated in this questionable news report no longer works for IBB


Conclusion
The alleged news report is misleading and should be dismissed as the work of propagandists and has nothing at all to do with CNN as it was not edited, fact-checked or screened before it was published on the ireport community website.

God Bless Nigeria

Seems u dnt knw d scores, even jona.daft knows d kinda blazing sword hanging over his neck cos he has stepped on toes. If u care to knw, d powers dat be want to ensure dat GEJ is punished for being disrespectful.

Av u forgotten so quickly hw he & his crew assassinated d character of d Nigerian Army during d build up to elections?

Av u forgotten hw he gave his word not to pursue second term ambition as president? But he made a u-turn & u expect d political class (especiallrthern elite/caucus PMB inclusive) to waive it just like dat? u must be joking!

GEJ & his PDP crew were busy looting and @d same time threatening not to renew oil block licence of some prominent political big boiz...chai, u dnt knw anything guy. The list of his sins is endless.

FYI, Nigerian politics is ruthless & dis guys r not prepared to forgive GEJ. Dealing wit GEJ will serve as a deterrent to other civilian politicians who may become daring in d future. We all knw dat selective justice is rife in 9ja & GEJ will definitely be served @d appropriate time.

Enjoy.

If Jonathan is confirmed to have personally stolen money, he will be disgraced and he will be made to return the recoverable loot and also expose his cronies... And yes, he may not be sent to prison out of sheer respect if that is what would make all ye wailers happy.

midolian:
Fvck the peace committee.. All these criminals must be brought to book. I don't fvcking care how

The guilty and the brainwashed see buhari's fight against corruption as a "witch-hunt", but we, the well-meaning Nigerians see it as "progress-hunt". Naija must move forward!

free2ryhme:
this is too important to be debated on rumors, Ambode should man up and make his allegation known instead of this sad cowardly attack. I am waiting for facts before i make a comment

BigElEddy:
Provide evidence or shut up. Wike has been wailing about Ameachi yet all he has shown us as evidence is the governors bedroom and kitchen claiming Ameachi stole bed spread, plates, and spoons.
Most People EFCC have gone after from the last administration like Dasuki are not suppose to belong to any party in the first place.
For those wailing "witch hunting", there is a concept of witch hunting that was applied during the old days. If someone is suspected of practicing witchcraft, the person is chased, caught and then tried before a panel. If found guilty the person is burnt, if NOT GUILTY they let the person GO.
So nobody should be scared unless they practiced some sort of "witchcraft" during their time in public offices.

socialmediaman:
Not really, I am privileged to know that there are websites worth millions of dollars inside but they also appear simple when you look at them.

socialmediaman:
Custom made ERP websites could cost as much as $3 million dollars or more. They are deployed in hospitals, schools and universities, government, oil companies, banks, multinationals, construction etc. A major Bank in Nigeria once paid N4 billion Naira to develop their website which runs an ERP software on it

cabaliciouscabal:
it is u dat should shut ur stinking mouth, d guy was only trying to analyze d mode dat surround d contract, and he seems to know more abt d job dan u, u claim to be educated but ur line of discussion doubts Weda u actually went to school, u didn't educate us on y u think d amount should not be up to dat , instead u ar speaking British Ghetto Grammer , U PDP apologists ar only Wailing, Fashola will definitely get appointment in dis government, and if u ar not happy after it has appened, I personally advice u all to follow Oba Akiolu's Theory. Foool

socialmediaman:
Read this before you conclude:

I am not here to find Fashola innocent or guilty or hold a brief for him. I do not have the details of the contract so i would wait for a statement from Fashola before drawing my conclusions. Fashola is definitely not crazy to award a contract of 78 million for just a website upgrade. There could be more to it, let's give him some benefit of doubt

If you're knowledgable about websites, you'll know that a contract like this would involve much more than the website itself, like:

Development of custom school management software (ERP system)

Development of taxi service management system ( example Uber)

Development of other custom software management systems for the Fashola projects

If that's the case, then This is no biggie, it's worth the amount, but I am not holding brief for Fashola on this as I do not have details of the said contract award, when he releases a statement, I'll do my own personal assessment about it. We're in an Information Age though, his bad. But for now, I'll say innocent until proven guilty.

" Obama welcomes Nigeria's
freshly elected president after the country's first ever democratic

PMB BEING HONOURED..



@WAILING WAILERS THIS IS A HEART BREAKING MESSAGE TO YOU GUYS...

“some of the more immediate benefits of the
President’s trip to the US include: the proposed $2.1 billion fund from
the World Bank for the re-development of the northeast battered by
Boko Haram; $5 billion from US investors in Nigeria’s agriculture
sector; $1.5 billion investment in the Nigerian’s health sector; and
another $5 billion investment from the US in our country’s power
sector.


GOD BLESS BABA PMB MY HERO

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

click like if u are a progressive

PassingShot:
And again the president scores another vital goal in his administration of less than three months. In the process, he has increased the wailing of the wailers.

In just one trip to the USA, PMB has secured:
1. US starting the process of lifting arms embargo on Nigeria as reported earlier https://www.thecable.ng/us-ready-lift-arms-embargo-nigeria

2. Direct investment of $13.6bn (N2.7tn)

3. Improved relationship between US and Nigeria

While wailers will continue to peddle their lies such as the N2.2bn expenses, PMB/VPYO will continue to bring unsurpassed achievements to Nigeria.

Btw, was there any sane human being that believed the lie of N2.2bn as the cost of the trip? How can a normal person just swallow blatant lies such as that when it was widely reported that PMB and his team were accommodated by the US government? How could any sensible person accept a figure that didn't show any breakdown of its components?

Wailers have fish brains indeed.

egift:
That I can agree with. He is doing all he can to grant Patience's wish in Edo; not to bring him food in Prison. Am glad Buhari is granting him a soft landing.

Let there be Peace.

Rainmaker69:
Accepting defeat isn't a mark of heroism. Especially after the debacle in Rivers and the SS/SE.
It's okay to commend GEJ (whatever) but please don't obscure and rewrite history in the process. More importantly, anyone who can receive praise must be ready to receive criticism.

crownprince102:
GEJ's attrocities can't be foggotten that easily. Conceding defeat doesn't change the fact he is a Kleptocrat.

mcdokwe:
I have been in Nigeria for quite a while and it beats me how a people can be so insensitive, attention seeking and never know when to give up.

I have always tried to stay away from political discus especially when it is difficult to be objective or expect that the other party tries to be, no matter how little.

Oby Ezekwesili is one woman who has had her chance to build Nigeria, how much she was able to impact on the polity is a topic for another day.

She obviously, like most of us, wanted to hold on and remain in the political space and especially considering the fact that her party was still in power. But Uncle Joe wouldn't have any of that and that explains her fighting from the other side (very understandable)

She had done her best in trying to ridicule the Presidency especially using her bring back our girls campaign. Not my business.

She had openly identified with the opposition. Understandable

But she doesn't have the right to choose whom our heroes are.

Our lives are not lived on the TV and might not worth anything to her other than a veiled advocacy which of course would be belated. So we choose our hero who made sure nothing happened to us.

After the conduct of the Presidential Elections, a lot of us, Corp Members, Market women, Christians living in the north (even where they are majority) slept with our eyes open, looked back with every step thrown, left our known residents, closed down our businesses, avoided a lot of places, vowed not to be part of of the elections anymore due to the obvious danger should GEJ do what Oby and those she worked for do just to win an election.

Our lives were in danger, our investments stood the risk of being torched by irate un enlightened followers who do not understand. How a democracy works.

But this man decided not to let all these happen, he didn't use the tools at his disposal to ensure he remains there and when he lost, he didn't cry on national TV wiping up sentiments and threatening to bring down the heavens, he didn't wait for people to act first and cause mayhem which off course would have been replied, he acted first.

He conceded defeat and on time, no protests that would have led to the loss of lives, all the fears were allayed and the known violence that would have followed if the result turned the other way averted.

So GEJ is my hero, and that of a thousand folks whose being and well-being were threatened.
He doesn't have to be yours given that you were made irrelevant in his government, he doesn't have to be yours since your loyalty unquestionably lies the other way, he just doesn't have to be your hero but don't tell us whom our hero should be.

Some said they saw an unusual rainbow, while others say it was like an eclipse of the moon. This claims are currently being spread around the social media. Well, we have nothing to say about it. Did you see anything like that? But even if it's true they saw something like this, could it really mean anything?

Thank you ma! Exactly what we've been telling them!

To them, If your House Rent expire and you leave The House peacefully, you deserve a Nobel Prize Award. At least for leaving in peace. Rubbish!!

raumdeuter:
Well said

The Heroes are Buhari, Jagaban, Jega, and the millions who stayed on the queue in the rain and sun to vote Jonathanout

braine:
I think he's not worth the status too. Conceding defeat is the only right thing to do coz we all saw that he actually lost. So I don't see what the big deal is.
