Psalm18:
or veto the budget if they insist on allocating stupid money for themselves.


Never again.

You are funny.

How can Buhari criple his government because other organs of government refused to be his puppet?

Buhari owes GEJ much gratitude for his veto on the constitutional amendment that would've rendered him powerless

MalcoImX:
What does it matter to you whether any money is recovered or not, for the little effort that's bring done you're all over the place shouting 'Persecution and witch-hunt."

Buhari doesn't own Nigeria more than me not to talk of children of nowadays.

I don't do kindergarten back and forth debate hence it's always a privilege to the free readers association and other free thinkers when I decide to add meaning to discussions thereby elevating the standard of debate.

Thanks for your time.

Bye.

MalcoImX:
You are asking me, "Where are the gadgets now?" Wait until you hear 'IsraeliAirgate" and you'll know where the money for those gadgets get distributed.

Wisdom comes with age. It's time you start thinking for yourself and stop feeding from propaganda and distractions.

Our missing $20 billion is no longer news or have they recovered it. I was hoping it would be made available to help finance 2016 budget without borrowing.

We were told that one million barrels of crude were stolen by GEJ's government officials on daily basis, where is this money going to since seven months as we can't see it reflected on the amount of crude we produce per day nor from our export?

APC shouldn't complain yet, let them beg PDP not to pay them back in their own coins.

MalcoImX:
But the other hired Elbit to spy on us.

EXCLUSIVE: Elbit Systems officials arrive; begin installation of $40 million Internet Spy facility for Nigeria
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/150333-exclusive-elbit-systems-officials-arrive-begin-installation-40-million-internet-spy-facility-nigeria.html

Stop derailing the topic, that's by the way.

You people are easily deceived.

Where are the gadgets now?

Who controls the command centre as we debate?

This is why it is important for PDP to pay APC in kind.

These things were mostly fabricated to distract Jonathan's administration and deceive the gullible.

The two important bills to support democracy were signed by GEJ. They include, Administration of Criminal Justice law and freedom of information law. He built and encouraged democratic institutions. Most policies being implemented today by PMB administration were his brain child.

MalcoImX:
I've called GEJ drunkard and clueless. When you call Buhari slow, go slow etc., nobody argues with that. The clueless and the drunkard tags cannot be argued about. But to call GEJ or Buhari a Hitler, for example (who is believed by the Jews to have killed 6 million of them), is more like hate speech.

Is Buhari a tyrant or not?

He told the world he is a born-again despot and it has been found to be a lie.

Hitler turned Germany from a constitutional democracy to a dictatorial democracy which Buhari specifically and openly stamped during the presidential media chat hence the metaphor by PDP "tyrant" and "Hitler".

Now tell me if PDP was wrong to use those words when all the president did was slaying and slandering PDP during the chat?

Respect is earned and not commanded, it is generally reciprocal.

Why shouldn't PDP reciprocate with fire and brimstone when all you hear from APC is PDP this, PDP that, GEJ this and GEJ that as if Buhari's spell as HOS wasn't a total failure and first class murder of both nigeria's international diplomacy and crippling of our economy. His past is worse than PDP. The $2.8 billion scandal hanging on him has not been resolved till this day.

NB: I support his anti-corruption drive as usual.

Proudlyngwa:

Disregard IsraeliAIRFORCE,
Am an okpara ngwa and i have my right not to support ikpeazu

There is nothing like okpara in ngwa dialect/language

Proudlyngwa:

Like I always say you are free to believe anything that rocks your boat, it won't change the truth.
As for IPOB, I can authoritatively tell you some where paid.
Uha soup is on the fire, someone has gone to ahia orie to get akpu, should i reserve yours

Is akpu a traditional delicacy in Ngwaland?

Get lost, you are not Igbo let alone being Ngwa.

Impostor

asha80:
oh well at what can I say?

I believe the supreme court will either cancel the whole election as in the case of Akwaibom where the appeal court based it judgment on substantial non compliance or the second option will be to conduct fresh election in those LGAs that were cancelled.

The above is my submission because time has gone when tribunals and courts decides for the people.

If I may ask, why wasn't Ikpeazu declared winner without supplimentary election and what is still holding declaring Dickson winner in Bayelsa state? How can almost 300,000 people be defranchaised when both candidate has less votes combined. It doesn't add up.

Proudlyngwa:


Yep, I come from a family involved in politics from two sides

Stop being obnoxious, you have no Ngwa blood running in you.

See an impostor who claimed to come from Ugwu n'agbor but knows nothing about the history.

@Asha80
This is the same person who believed that IPOB protesters were hired.

Ukwa/Ngwa will be foolish not to prostest for being defranchaised. Why should all the three LGAs for which appeal court decided are not be part of decision on who becomes Abia State Governor be all Ngwas, the stronghold of Ikpeazu?

So far so good the protest has been peaceful compared to Taraba where houses were burnt and five people killed because of a similar judgment by election tribunal.

Nobody in Nigeria, not even court can tell us that we are abians hence we have no right to vote and not even a rerun.

Clerverly:


Nna, Your position is Misleading to say the least. Have you seen a Copy of the judgment?

Go back the check the final result posted by the Appeal court which stated that the APGA candidate scored 164, 444 valid votes to defeat Mr. Ikpeazu who scored 114, 444 votes.

From their submission, the three LGAs that Otti prayed to be cancelled were delisted which consequently brought the result to the above stated figures instead of original INEC declared result below:

Mr Ikpeazu polled 264,713 to defeat the candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, Alex Otti, who polled 180,882 votes

SeunWedsLinda:
IsraeliAirforce, I await your contribution

I am not a Supreme Court Justice hence my opinion may not matter in the scheme of things but I find it preposterous that Appeal Court Judges can give a mandate to a candidate by deinfrachasing three LGAs with voting strength that outweighs the scores registered for each guber candidate.

It means that those LGAs have no say on who becomes their governor and by extension their people.

The judgment is ridiculous to say the least.

This judgment is a resemblance of the tribunal judgment that declared Mama Taraba the APC candidate the governor on flimsy premise.

May be, ICC will soon takeover Nigeria Judiciary

The last time he spoke on channelstv regarding this subject, he doesn't believe the actions of Nnamdi Kalu are treasonable felony and he called for prosecution of Security forces who killed IPOB youths at Onitsha and he reprimanded the Army for killing shiites and demolishing their musques.

chowlade:

Millions of igbos are in south west, they bears yoruba name, they cannot speak igbo any longer, they claim they are native of Ekiti, kwara,ondo, osun, lagos e.t.c..can u say they are yoruba?

How many of these so-called people are in the House of Assembly, HOR, Senate or may be Commissioner, market leaders or political appointee? We need their names.

Ask Peter Odili what Clarke told him when we wanted to be Yardua's deputy.

Let them try to venture into contesting the stated positions and you see how they will be forced back to answer their papa name.

tuale4u:


why did you not ask GEJ to do it? Your brother Ayim Pius Ayim was SSG. And your brother was chief of defence staff.

You mean the nonsense you just typed should substitute the quest for reconstruction that can only be achieve by a special budget or amending constitution?

Read the article you quoted again. Akpabio was addressing Gowon, IBB, OBJ and Buhari in their presence. Why should Buhari ask what the SE wants even when he wasn't able to counter Akpabio's confrontation.

By the way, you now agree there was injustice and by extension gross and calculated negligence perpetrated against Eastern Nigeria?

Buharia just borrowed $2.1 biliion to reconstruct Northeast and is asking what Southeast needs?

tuale4u:


according to ur post, Akpabio recognised the fact the war has ended in 1999. So in today Nigeria there is no marginalization. so what is all the noise about?

Where is the reconstruction? Instead they were cited in the west and North after the war. You hypocrite.

Do you think SE youths would've being migrating out of their region in drove had FG established minimum Federal presence in the zone?

Do you konw that Aba and Onitsha were already metropolitan cities with almost same or better infrastructure than today (relative to population ratio) before the Nigerian and Arab Forces levelled the cities and other urban areas to ground zero?

Buhari borrowed $2.1 billion for reconstruction of Northeast Nigeria while SEast is still awaiting reconstruction and rehabilitation since 1970.

GOVERNOR GODSWILL AKPABIO SPEAKS ON BIAFRA AND GOWON WITH THEWILL NEWS

THEWILL: You have been very vocal lately in dismissing and trashing the then federal military government’s post-civil war efforts at the 3 Rs: Reconstruction, Reconciliation and Rehabilitation. What don’t you agree with?


AKPABIO: As a young man, you definitely will not understand me. But I was a victim of the Civil War. I was one of those who suffered the pains of the war. I was born sometime in 1962; the civil war came really into our area in 1967. So, I was probably five or six years old during the war; and if I had been around nine years, I would probably have been conscripted.

I saw parents throw their children into pit toilets because they did not want their positions to be made known to the enemy. I saw devastation; I saw kwashiorkor; I saw hunger; I saw thousands of people and bodies littered everywhere and smelling while vultures had a field day every day. I saw houses destroyed; I saw families scattered such that till the end of the world, they can never gather themselves together again. There were children who were shipped away to Gabon, and they can never come back to Nigeria again because they were small. How would two-year-olds and three-year-olds ever know where they came from? They are now proud Gabonese and I don’t think Nigerians are even asking questions.

So, during the Silverbird Man of the Year Award, there were pictures that were shown of the Civil War. Somebody, sitting by me, who is from the West, was asking if those things were acted: the Kwashiorkor-ridden children with their swollen tummies, ugly shapes and bony structures because of hunger and starvation.

The then Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon attempted to explain that he tried everything to avoid the scenes that were being shown on the screen, that he did not want the war. The other person who could have answered him, unfortunately, that is Emeka Ojukwu, is dead. He said he tried everything to stop the war from breaking out but it’s only Ojukwu who could have answered whether he equally did his part in avoiding the war.

But something struck me: it was said that Gowon should be commended for initiating the three Rs: reconciliation, rehabilitation and reconstruction. And I asked a very simple question, that I came with a written text but I wasn’t going to read it. I thanked Silverbird for the award; and I said I did not want to criticise my leaders because I am also now a leader. But I asked to be allowed to ask a question: how come reconstruction started in the West when the war was actually fought in the East? They started the Third Mainland Bridge, the National Theatre, the international airport, and so on, in the West, while the war was fought in the eastern region. And if we really wanted to ensure total reconciliation, how come every account holder in the eastern region was given only £20? It did not matter whether your father had £10,000,000 or £50,000,000 before the war; you were given just £20. It was a take it or leave it situation. If your family survived and there was an account holder alive, he/she went to the bank, and collected just £20.

Could £20 pounds solve the Kwashiorkor that we were seeing? Could it reconstruct the houses that were burnt? Could it produce food? A lot of other things happened that I did not mention on that occasion. Don’t forget that it was shortly after the war in 1971 that the policy of indigenisation started, where most of the foreign industries and companies were sold to Nigerians, and the war-ravaged eastern regions, which include the entire South-South and the rest of them, could not buy, because no one who did not have money to even feed or clothe himself would have had money to buy any industry. So, I was just wondering, as a young man, if that was true reconciliation, because one would have thought that the government would have gone to any extent to give them more money so that they could truly rehabilitate themselves.

They needed money from reconstruction, and I would have thought that reconstruction would have also started from the East. I just asked because we were lucky to have the persona dramatis of the war right in front of us: General T. Y. Danjuma, General Yakubu Gowon, General Buhari and others. It is very rare to see three former heads of state in just one place, so I had to ask.

I said also that it is important, even for the current-day leaders, that we continue to take actions that will unite Nigeria. And we should purge ourselves of actions that tend to cause pains to Nigerians. For me (Akpabio), I believe that because of certain policies of the federal government after the war, the war did not cease in the eastern region until about 30 years after the war.

Why APC de tackle PDP? Who is the PDP that destroyed Nigeria for 16 years?

Obasanjo, Atiku, Kwankwaso, Ndume, Amaechi, Saraki, N'Abba, Masri and others

The project will be completed in 48 months and aready Jonathan Government paid N18 billion out of N30 billion government counterpart funding.

Last month Fashola just committed to giving the project accelerated oversight to ensure completion as scheduled.

The Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA)- managers of the more than $2 billion Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF)- has given a status report on the ongoing Second Niger Bridge project under a joint public, private partnership between the Nigerian Government and some private equity capital firms, including the NSIA.

According to the NSIA, the Nigerian government has so far disbursed N18.3 billion of her N30 billion commitment to the project, adding that the Fund too has so far spent $2.1 million on consultancy services. The information is contained in a status report on the project released by the NSIA in Abuja.

    The total cost of the project was estimated at N108 billion at conception but it has gone up to N117.9 billion due to the falling value of the Nigerian currency in relation to other world currencies.

    While reporting the progress status of the Second Niger Bridge, the Vice President, Infrastructure Investment and Special Advisor to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Project, Mr. Obinna Ihedioha, said it was initially estimated to cost N108billion, excluding duties and VAT (if duties and VAT are included), regretting that the project cost is now N117.9billion.

    He gave reason for the increase in cost: “This was equivalent to $700million at the then prevailing exchange rate of N154/$. The final project cost would naturally be affected by exchange rate fluctuations and other variables.” The bridge will be constructed and operated on a Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis.

‘We bought sophisticated weapons but they haven’t arrived yet,’ Ex-NSA says

'Jola Sotubo | 17:51 | 06.08.2015

» more Former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki  (Daily Trust)

Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki has said that ex-President Goodluck Jonathan ordered some weapons to fight terrorism during his tenure but they haven’t arrived in the country yet.

Dasuki also said that some elements are frustrating Nigeria’s efforts to get the needed equipment to fight Boko Haram.


The former NSA reportedly made the comments during an interview with PR Nigeria, an agency which consults for the Nigerian military and security agencies.


Dasuki said:

“The armoured tanks have comprehensive NBC protection system, just as we deployed Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles that we bought and could withstand improvised explosive device (IED) attacks and ambushes. The vehicles had protected our troops from the land mine threats.”

“We are glad that we also provided assorted Armoured Personnel Carriers to transport troops to the battlefield. They are armed for self-defence and to provide protection from attacks from shrapnel and small arms fire.”

“We utilised some of these equipment to recover more than 22 local governments under Boko Haram terrorists and ensured that Shekau did not disrupt the 2015 election as he had threatened. Not only did we ensure that the elections were peaceful, Shekau has never spoken to threaten anyone again since then.”

“All these were acquired in the last one year after years of frustration by Western powers who denied us of the equipment and sabotage our efforts to acquire same from other sources which are reasons for some delay in delivery.”

 “It was unfortunate that some elements are frustrating the efforts as we even had to query some suppliers for delay in delivery of arms and ammunitions.”

“It is unfortunate that some elements hide under the cover of anonymity in the media to rubbish some of the sacrifices we made. They should the take the courage to come out publicly by identifying themselves with their baseless allegations. ”

may I ask if u were asleep when Dasuki was telling u how the money meant for arms were spent among themselves? Whoever told u that we dnt have the weapons is lying...but the efforts of the soldiers were sabotaged so as to create a loophole for corruption to fill in. where are the weapons he bought? did Dasuki showed u the weapons as a correspondence the cash spent?


secondly, were u dead when the US decided to offer them weapons on buhari's visit? abi ur CNN don dey show soundcity ni?

The ban on selling US arms to Nigeria has not been lifted and moreover Dasuki said Nigerians will see much sophisticated weapons and armours he ordered in coming days.

UN Climate Change Congress just projected to cut the use of fossil fuel by half before 2025 and it is expected to stop the use by 2050.

The world is moving on to a world without Oil and you think we are going back to 1990 when giangatic computers can't do the work of a notebook or tablet.

Why are nigerians so bent on disseminating false information in the name of criticism.

Point of correction for some who may be doing research on distance, cost and time of completing bridges in Africa. Below is the true reflection of second niger bridge.

The Second Niger Bridge project comprises Phases 1, 2a and 2b and includes a southern bypass of both Asaba and Onitsha cities with an approximate total length of 44km to be completed in 48 months at the cost of N108 billion. The phase 1 of the project, which is the bridge and adjacent roads, is approximately 11.9 kilometres and will be constructed and operated under a Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme.

The bridge will comprise a 3.31 kilometre-long road section on the Delta side, including a 500 metre-long toll plaza; a 1.59 kilometres tolled concrete box-girder bridge with two superstructures; and a 7.0 kilometre-long road section on the Anambra side.

SABOTAGE: Army Col, 10 Officers Set Nigerian Tankers Ablaze, Pave Way For Boko Haram

There were shocking revelations at the weekend that an Army Colonel, some junior officers and soldiers who were taking part in the military offensive to reclaim communities taken over by the Boko Haram terrorists in Adamawa State, have been arrested for sabotage.

Top military sources said that the Colonel (a Muslim) who was Commanding a team of three Armoured Personnel Carriers, APC’s, with the capability to fire up to a range of 1.5kilometres or even more, had instead of pursuing the terrorists, deliberately set the APCs on fire between Gulak and Madagali, before running away with his team of soldiers into the bush.

Saturday Vanguard gathered that the Army authorities were outraged over the development and ordered the arrest of both the commander, the junior officers as well as the soldiers under his command.
Narrating how the ‘’embarrassing incident occurred,’’ a source who was privy to the development noted that until the latest development, the Special Forces of the Nigerian Army who commenced the putsch to rout Boko Haram terrorists from Bazza, Michika, Gulak and Madagali from Vimtim, had successfully dealt with, and inflicted heavy casualties on the terrorists up till Gulak.

It was said that between Gulak and Madagali, the Colonel who had all along been prided with air surveillance reports, was again informed that Boko Haram terrorists were approaching his team in six Toyota Hilux Pick Up vans from the Madagali axis.

“However, rather than blasting and taking out the terrorists in their pick-up vans; he ordered his soldiers to jump out of the APC’s and set the armoured tanks on fire, without realising that he was being monitored. This was shocking because the terrorists were armed with weaponry which were grossly inferior to the firepower of the Nigerian Army Amoured tanks. After accomplishing the sabotage act, the Colonel and the junior officers and soldiers ran away into the bush, claiming that they were overpowered by a better armed group of Boko Haram terrorists,’’ Saturday Vanguard was told.

Military sources said that the action of the Colonel and soldiers under his command had given vent to the disclosure by the top hierarchy of the military that there were so many fifth columnists in the military working against the country’s determination to flush out Boko Haram terrorists in the land.

Consequently, Saturday Vanguard was told that a Board of Inquiry, BoI, had been set up by the Army authorities to investigate the Colonel and his soldiers after which a Military Court Martial would be set up to try them for conspiracy, treason and willful sabotage among others.

Also speaking on the development, a senior officer confided in Saturday Vanguard thus, “You can now see why the Military Court Martial which is currently sitting is inevitable. The uninformed would feel that soldiers who are fighting the nation’s battle are being unjustly punished. But the truth is that many of them are sabotaging Nigeria and making the insurgents look formidable for reasons that cannot be explained. Some of them appear sympathetic to the insurgents.

“How can it be explained that several APCs that cost up to $1million each in some cases or more will be willfully destroyed by Commissioned Officers, COs, who swore to defend the territorial integrity of their nation, just to help terrorists? That is treason of the highest order.”

The source added that the new vigour and determination with which Nigerian troops had been prosecuting the war, resulting in the killing of several commanders of the sect as well as hundreds of the insurgents, was the fallout of the new position of the military high command to deal with those pursuing a different agenda from that of the Federal Government.

The Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh said last week that the death penalty imposed on the 12 soldiers who were tried for treason was lawful and in accordance with military dictates. He spoke at a three-day conference organised by the National Security Adviser in collaboration with Trim Communication Nigeria Ltd on Media/Security relationship in crisis management.

According to him, “The day you join the military you have signed off, whether life or death, and it is obey before complaint. How can a soldier just jump out of the APC because you want to donate APC to Boko Haram; and somebody is there talking about constructive mutiny.

“The laws are there, if you run away from the enemy, you will die and that is what the military law says. Apart from the old Nigerian law, we abide by the military law. Nobody forces or conscripts anybody into the military. It is a voluntary service, and so if we have this type of challenge, you should be able to confront it and not to run away.”

I'm a little bit satisfied with your response. You gave it a human face.

Don't buy the cover up, read my last submission.

Continue your protest until Buhari returns those armoured cars.

Nobody is asking Buhari to return the monies he was paid by SGF that covered his benefits as former HOR rather let him return the proceeds of corruption from his acclaimed well wisher, Dasuki

Jarus:


Don't tell me you believe Buhari collected money? Where did you see that Buhari collected money?

Cars were bought for former Heads of State, including Buhari, from the Security Vote, not from arms purchase money.

Comrade, you follow dey obfuscate the facts thereby covering this "white corruption" by this your submission.

The benefits due to former presidents and HOS have been monetized and there is nothing like purchase of anything again since OBJ administration.

SFG has already paid Buhari his entitlements before the benevolent gift from a "well wisher" and not from FG according to Buhari.

You see spinning this scandal out of circulation is not possible.

Buhari should return the armoured SUVs and apologize.

PassingShot:

Why don't you just read up on zero-budgeting and save us the headache of having to educate you forcefully?

In your mind, zero budgeting means there won't be any budget by the FG. Olodo upon 100!
