This guy has a deep closet of secrets, including luggage revolving around X's death, that I cannot fully align with. It is also pathetic that his people are not helping those who protest police brutality. It doesnt have to be Farakhan who's on the frontlines, but his people are not there at all. Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown's family were left with the dumbest laywers, the imbecilic Crumps.

One minutes Farrakhan is slamming the movement of drug dealing and black betrayal which is the Farrakhan I boldly stand with, then there's the Farrakhan who's oddly struggling to reconcile with it, speaking on drug leaders being real leaders. I empathize with a man's need to hustle, but Farrakhan knew then (which is still the case today), these guys are ONLY killing other AA's in the process. Larry Hover should have been killed as much as any gangs that are a byproduct of the fallen Black panthers. Us AA's of all people should know by now the tricks of white people, and for those who fall for the "willie lynch" indoctrination need to be killed. Again, I stand the more militant Farrakhan, I can savage this allegiance from alleged role he had in killing Malcolm X... and other speculations we see by his people's inaction today. I'm even willing to look past his indoctrination by the Arab's religion/

You'll hear some golden truths from his speeches. That's about it; never any action.

I seriously doubt you're anything but, African, maybe First generation American at the very best.

Dollyak:
This people don't joke around. 29 years for theft/corruption

If the sentences were "consecutive" he probably got only 4 yrs. If they were "concurrent", 7 yrs, maybe.

Knowing Nigeria he probably got a "N1 million fine in lieu of imprisonment" type sentence.

All I see is unbridled hate against Buhari. Just Lies and anger, same tactics that didn't work before he became President.

Mogidi:
Only states that voted Buhari would have a say in the new dispensation. The PDP warned Nigerians that Buhari was too tribal to govern a country as complex as Nigeria, their prediction was real.

Is Buhari the National Working Committee of the party? Or you have no idea what that means?

Bublanski:
He has been travelling around without security! Now this!!

The world knows the group(s) of people in Nigeria that wish him dead. He dies, they die.

Period.

Jorussia:
.I think this people should let GEJ be.Was he not always in the state during holidays? If the people of bayelsa think that since their son was the president of Nigeria for more than 5 years, then bayelsa will automatically become like London,then, they definitely lived in a fools paradise. Niger state has produced 2 former heads of state who spent about 10 years in office,yet the state is the most develop in Nigeria.

Can you understand anything? They said "Working visit" youre talking about vacation.

chukwudi44:
you think only the north has a monopoly of violenece baa? na your useless illiterate head we will use to appease the North

Chukwudi shut it up. You're Ibo not Ijaw and his comments was directed at Ijaws.

Why are you Ibos still mad at the election results

Your Law makers are fo*olish. Same-sex marriage is not even "Legal" in the U.S. Certain States recognize it, but the Federal Govt doesn't which makes it, well, technically illegal here as well.

Y'all need younger, more exposed minds to run your Govt. These dinosaurs are just garbage in garbage out like the old govt.

Agwoden:
That's a good one. Its good to celebrate the new face of peace in Africa @GEJ.

In saner climes, that is called a bribe.

missclasssy:
[color=#000050]What has the Nigerian society turned into?
What happened to our culture, our morals, our dignity?
When did we become this way?

Now you have girls giving birth outside of marriage and the public is okay with it.
You have young men impregnating young girls and instead of being chastised, they are applauded.

When did the Nigerian society degenerate into this?
Our youths have forsaken our ethics and laid to waste our african values.
I weep for our tomorrow. My heart bleeds for the future of this great nation.[/color]

When you are done deceiving yourself about your hypocritical society, you will post the truth.

cramjones:
I flew into London last night from Boston, and while on one of the London trains, I saw this!

Can May 29th come already? Why will Africa ever develop when we have such wicked, greedy and heartless leaders?

GMB hurry and be our president please.

CramJones


PS: When I served in government whatever corruption that transpired was certainly child's play compared to what has happened within the last 6 -7 years!

You are not in Boston, you coc*ksucker! And you never worked in Govt. Go get a life.

"London trains"? Why couldn't you just say "Tube" like anyone who has spent even a second in London knows to call it?

This is barbaric, our rulers loot all the available funds for development and leave us with nothing, shame and abject poverty.

This is actually pretty clean for Nigerian standards since your overall society--- and citizens --- live in absolute filth.

I worked on a case involving one of Buruji a.k.a "Alaji" indicted co-conspirators when this case was in its infancy. He is very wanted by the U.S Govt and I can assure you he will be extradited from Nigeria before the year is over.

Firefire:
The conspiracy theories surrounding the missing Chibok girls still lingers.

One day Nigerians will hear the real and true story surrounding the kidnap incident.

- Was there any kidnap in the first place or just an arranged relocation of the girls?

- If there was a kidnap, are the figures given accurate?

- Who and who are culpable in the whole missing girl’s episode?

Nigeria and her scriptwriters should know that there is no secret under the heavens.

Almost 300 previously unheard of kidnapped girls were just rescued a few days ago. And you're typing the above nonsense?

Nigerians are sick.

HelenBee:
Read her piece as published on The Trent below:

The comedian and mother of two Helen Paul, writes down her views and disappointment in President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari recent statement that he cannot guarantee the safe return of the kidnapped Chibok girls..

Hmmm… it’s one year and some days now since the Chibok girls have been missing. Yet, the days are still counting because we have no clue about their whereabouts.

This is a very sad development indeed. No doubt, it was a disappointment that the outgoing government failed to locate and rescue the girls from the hands of their Boko Haram abductors.

As a mother, who knows what the pains of child labour and child upbringing are all about, I heaved a sigh of relief when Muhammadu Buhari emerged winner of the presidential election. It was not because I like him more than Jonathan, but because I listened to one of his campaigns, where he promised to bring back the girls if elected into office.

Perhaps, Nigerians elected him on that premise.
I feel that, at least, it will be a great achievement for whoever locates and brings back the girls to their respective families. In fact, whoever achieves that will be celebrated as a hero all over the world. But then, I have seen another reason to believe that all politicians are the same.

Their modus operandi may only be different. A few days ago, exactly when it clocked one year that the girls had been missing, Buhari broke my heart, just like that of other Nigerians when he said his government could not promise to bring back the girls! I felt really devastated because that comment was a sharp contrast to the promises he made to all Nigerians and the world at large during his campaigns.

Honestly, I try not to be disappointed because you can always expect anything from Nigerians, politicians in particular. They can promise heaven on earth during campaigns, but the moment they get to power, they promptly renege on their promises. Such is life in this part of the world where we find ourselves.

I tried to put myself in the shoes of the parents, relatives and neighbours of the missing girls, who, perhaps, solicited votes for the retired General after hearing his campaign promise that he would bring back the girls. How will they feel now hearing him say something to the contrary?

There is an adage in Yoruba that says ‘ omo eni ku san ju omo eni sonu lo,’ meaning that it is better for someone’s child to die than to be missing. I can imagine the different thoughts and imaginations that would have saddled the minds of those girls’ parents. If the girls are dead (which I don’t pray for anyway), the parents will mourn for sometime and recover, but that they are missing is another experience entirely.

Basically, she's still upset that Buhari won.

mickey45:
Me thinks fines shd exceed d amt convictd 4. People like d Igbinedion.Are d reason dat state is d only state in d s.South that doesn't pay her indigenes bursary or scholarship, mayb Oshobaba's monthly rent 2 BHTinubu n co. leaves nothing left 4 bursary either. Cos they always complained then wen ordinary Bayelsa was paying Almost 36K

In "normal" countries (not the ones where the animals have learned to walk upright and speak like humans) the amount stolen is retrieved in its entirety separate from the fine--- which is usually astronomical (usually double the amount stolen). If the money stolen cannot be fully recovered, the assets of the convicted are forfeited and the proceeds deducted from the total stolen. Whatever is owed (monies that couldn't be recovered) IS NOT "forgiven" and will now be a debt to the state owed by the convict and must be paid in its entirety(Restitution). While the convict is in prison, any monies earned (gifts etc), is seized; the State gets paid first. Even if you get a $10 gift, but have to pay back i.e N25Billion in Restitution(monies stolen), plus a fine of N50Billion--- the $10 is garnished and deducted from the N75Billion. All this is in addition to the lengthy jail term (usually 10-15yrs or more) that has been imposed. (Re)Payment is enforced even while the convict is incarcerated. Sentences are also served fully.

That's how you stop and discourage governmental corruption. Your country men are born crooks and theft and criminality is a part of their DNA. They have no intentions of changing.

wachakuta:
CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE

They weren't sentenced to Prison, they were given an "OPTION" of a N3Million fine.

Your country is a bloody joke!

retepmurt:
President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday said all
members of the Peoples Democratic Party who
defected to the All Progressives Congress because
he lost the March 28 presidential election would
return with empty stomach. He said the leaders of the APC would first settle
their existing members before thinking of settling
defectors. He added that “food” may have finished before it
gets to the turn of the defectors to eat. Jonathan spoke shortly after receiving the report
of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation led
by Senator Ahmadu Ali at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja.www.punchng.com/news/pdp-defectors-will-come-back-with-empty-stomach-jonathan/

This ignorant, backwater, fisherman still doesn't know what corruption means.

ogawisdom:
If this happens buhari govt will b dead on arrival, anyway I am waiting for his actions, he has promised alot already which his illiterate self can't fulfill

A man dt wants to stabilize global oil price n make one dollar equal to one naira

It only remains for him to promise to fix air conditioner in all nigerian open markets all na change

Buhari better shut up n stop giving policy statements until sworn in

When the rest of the country was protesting in 2012 why didn't your brethren in the South East join? Now you want to be righteous. I bet you'll be the only ones protesting now.

barcanista:
Mr Buhari will not be allowed to Bring back Decree4 through the back door. He wanted to test ground with Ait to see whether he will have his way in preparation for a more tougher action against the Press. Buhari better focus on governance and understand his power as President-elect/Presiden. He should stop subjecting himself to public ridicule. If Alhaji Buhari is unsatisfied he should seek legal redress.

@Dokpesi: be rest assured that democratic Nigerians are behind the Press.

You Ibos are terrible, terrible people.

1.Have a database of your citizens. (State by State. Federal Govt should not be in charge of this or it will turn into a system that will be abused)

2.Police should run his name and/or prints in the computers to see if he has an active warrant.

3.If he has a warrant arrest him.

4.If he doesn't, he should be issued a citation/Ticket and/or summons to court for a fine to be paid and allowed to go on his merry way.

5.If he doesn't show up for court/pay fine by a certain date a warrant should be placed against his name for the next time he comes in contact with the law.

6.When next he's arrested double the punishment.

7. Frog jumps dont solve any problem and make you all look crazy.

baby124:
Wow. This Abacha was one psychopath. To steal this much back then!!! He stole and packed away the whole country.

Relax, in a few months when you find out how much GEJ and his cohorts stole Abacha will be the last person on your mind.

waternogetemeny:

Take ur Bini prostitution, armed robbery and juju to Southwest, we are not after u, u gat nothing to offer but everything to gain.


But note that we will get out the igbanke igbos and share Edo accordingly.


U are dismissed.

What the hell are you talking about? And ROFLMAO @ "you are dismissed". Have you even eaten this morning?

safarigirl:
lol.....South East has no government.....the FG is giving money to few individuals cuz the majority in South East are not aware of the existence of any government. They provide everything from water to light and even roads for themselves.

A lot of you who have never been out of your regions don't know that only South West and North benefit from the FG....the other regions don't

So, you're blaming South East officials' greed and neglect of people they're supposed to serve on other Regions?

Something must be wrong with a lot of you upstairs.

AmucheJane:
For me is just better they divide this country, period. Nigeria is to big to be called a nation. Yorubas should support us so that we will leave their land as they have wished. The southerners have been contributing very well to the economy of this country. Hausas and yorubas are somuch afraid to lose us, if not so why have they not supported us to leave this country called Nigeria? By his grace, one day this country will be divided, Amen.

What "Southerners"? What does a Benin man have in common with a man from Anambra? Why don't you guys go it on your own instead of trying to drag others into another silly round of misadventures?

hansad:
People think of today while you get stuck up with forty years ago. Why use NL and Twitter and FB, you for de write letter go to post this your small pickin arguments here.

I dont understand gibberish. Write in proper english so I can give you a reply.

owobokiri:
There is no justification whatsoever for the octane level of hate directed at the igbo over the last few days by the Yoruba. Jonathan is not igbo, even if he is, I don't see the evil he did to Yoruba land. He appointed yours ministers, perm secs, ambassadors. Your oil moguls prospered under him. Lagos was left the only viable port even when the president is from the creeks. Your royals, culture and leaders were respected even when acute kleptomania left the likes of tinubu open to total demystification. It seems to me that his only wrong to you is hobnobing with the obstinate igbos. Or how else can one explain your mischivious penchant of tirelessly unloading on the igbos since jonathans defeat? Where are those things he did for the igbos he didn't do for yours? Did anybody annihilate the yorubas when they voted for. Obasanjo against buhari. It is raw primitive hate, simple! Stop trying to sugar coat it!

I doubt you understand where he is coming from, so youre just attacking because you actually dislike the Yorubas.

The point is GEJ was a dismal failure as President. And, while everyone else recognized this, the Ibos (for whatever reason; Im guessing Tribalism and Bigotry) wanted the status quo of poverty, corruption, and under development to continue. And I believe thats the grouse everyone else has against them right now.

Mogidi:
If I can find the Biafran flag I would fly in it my house in Edo state, we were conned in the Mid-West to support one Nigeria in 1967.

Only on the internet do I see (people posing as) Edos that want a Union with Ibos.

You were conned to support one Nigeria? Maybe you should go read your history of how brutal Biafrans were to Edos when they invaded Benin and its environs in attempts to take over their land, and how the Binis---and virtually all Edos--- retaliated by killing them in droves once the Federal troops came to their aid.

Or, maybe, you should just stop pretending to be Edo.

ki02020:
Nawa o....was expecting something more sophisticated....you never can tell the interior can be of gold.....oryell moni

Jonathan's house is way, way bigger than that. This picture is probably showing just one building in the estate. His house in Otueke is expansive, to put it mildly.

anonimi:
The court document says the $460,000 was forfeited for "probable cause to believe that the property (money) represented proceeds of narcotics (drug) trafficking"

Bottom-line is: HE WASNT CHARGED OR CONVICTED OF DEALING NARCOTICS.

END OF STORY!!!
