THE GUILTY ARE AFRAID.

babaolofin:


Election is coming. You should vote for a PhD holder. The good boys. Ilorin must be liberated from Saraki family & the Alfas. The good boys of Saraki must be checkmated. The link between Offa robbery & the good boys must be properly investigated. The sponsors of the good boys must be brought to judgement.

Also, , on the other hand, we should look at herdsmen killing & the Fulani Association claiming responsibility for some of them as reprisal attacks and government is not doing anything about it.

linearity:


I don’t read anywhere they indicated that, he bankrolled the robbery that saw 33 people killed.

Rather, a few of the culprits caught in the Robert are alleged to be his thugs....and even one of them have ‘Saraki’ as the registration tag of his vehicle. The truth is, some of these stuff can be verified or disputed....e.g. the vehicle registration, if the government is fabricating that, records and people’s account will vindicate him.

Plus, he is been alleged to have sponsored 20 killings and not 33 and from the reading of the article, it appear that, the 20 are not even part of the 33 killed during the Offa Robbery attack.

Let’s see how this plays out.

DaBullIT:
What's my business with Abacha family ??

we are talking about LiePob and fraud , Jonathan and loot , Opposition and shitload of monies in cash and in accounts, what's Abacha's business ?
is your disc somehow malfunctioning ? or do you have selective amnesia

babaolofin:


The good boys. I have heard of them before. Majority of people on nairaland these days are those people fighting psychological war against Buhari. They want people that can help them. They find solace in Saraki, Fayose, Dino & FFK. Unfortunately, all these people are not even their kinsmen.

The only thing I observed here is the liberation of the Ilorin people.

Also, on the other hand, we should look at herdsmen killing & the Fulani Association claiming responsibility for some of them as reprisal attacks and government is not doing anything about it.

afroniger:
If Saraki's hands are clean then he shouldn't be afraid, in that case it should be no shaking for him and he will be vindicated eventually. Let's see how it goes.

Ihateyoumod:


Why una no dey tink, did they say he is involved..... The guy said he is a thug affiliated to saraki. How do these guys get weapon if not from politicians, who use dem for elections and to do their dirty job.

Now wen election no dey and money don finish, wht do u expect these guys to do with their guns.......use ur brain, Thts if u have ny

kolaaderin:


And OBJ was there for 8years was the power stable after $16B, please find a tokunbo brain to buy and stop talking giblet.

deomelo:





The same ancient and almost obsolete transmission lines that we just borrowed money to fix?

If you have any proof that they spent 1 kobo on transmission lines, please show us proof or leave that issue alone.

deomelo:





Well said and fair enough.

....but here is the problem and my issue with OBJ and his kind.

1. He spent $16 billion on power projects and in return, he gave us 2,520MW.

2. The 3,050MW Mambilla power project project stayed on the drawing board for 30 years/Tthrough OBJ's 8 years in office and while the same OBJ spent $16 billion on 2,520MW, PMB is constructing the same 3,050MW Mambilla power project for $5.79 billion, way less than half of the $16 billion OBJ spent on 2,520MW.

3. I'm 110% sure the total cost for the 3,050MW Mambilla power project when OBJ was in power was less than the $5.79 billion we are spending to to build that project today.

4. Thew question now is, why spend $16 billion on 2,520MW with gas to power them hundreds of miles away instead of $5.79 billion or less on The 3,050MW Mambilla power project with water to power the power plant right there at the source? Why.?

This is just one example and there are many many more examples per how OBJ and the leaders before him goofed and screwed us up when we had the money to provide every MW of power we need.

diltstwoods:

Thanks for the details . But what you just showed us is the problem we have always been facing. They execute projects but can not balance the sheets when it comes to amounts invested in projects and the value of what is being done. There is a huge deficit and we the masses are the ones at loss . We should join hands to fight this robberies and not doing the opposite.

infohenry:
Abacha is better than obj,yaradua,Gej and Pmb put together, it was during his time that LNG in bonny was built, through ptf many roads where reconstructed, schools equipped. My school have ptf canteen, ptf library and school bus all are affordable. In those days in school, if eat #20 garri in ptf canteen and asked for extra, it will be free because it abnormal to finish the garri. For his human right record, that one is abysmal.

contigiency:
Many people have really gone in sane because of politics and religion. When the truth is said instead of embracing it, we twist it and start jumping up and down. Buhari this buhari that, how can Anyone ever praise Abacha and all sort of ranting. Where as what the man said is the truth and nothing but the truth. Else let anyone tell me any government since civilian regime of 1999 to date that has built infrastructure and impacted on the welfare of the masses than Abacha government. I can still remember the quality roads, the PTF drugs, hospitals, several lecture halls and hostels in our various high institutions, the PTF buses in our campuses, price of all petroleum products etc. Our generation is really in trouble since it has gotten to the extent of hating the truth because of who said it and not that We don't know it's the truth.

Obi1kenobi:
A lot of emotional people on this thread. Say what you like, but Abacha had more tangible achievements than any of the Presidents since '99.

joeluv:
What infrastructure did infrastructure build Abeg? During Abacha’s time all workers where seriously under paid, was strike here and there, fuel scarcity. oBJ came in and increased pay by over 100%. Abacha did absolutely nothing other than loot. He looted the whole country. He was a dictator and only those close to the military felt the impact of what ever good cake out of that government. We are where we are today because of the likes of abatcha

CoolAmbience:



Only a sick person will say what you just said.

Obasanjo is no match to Abacha in terms of infrastructures, go to the books and check.

This is exactly the mindset I criticized with my post. Saying you "disagree with the bolded" simply means you're saying having a creative arts/insurance background means you're sure to fail in the U.S if you don't change to Engineering, IT or Medicine. I will NEVER accept that. Changing to those things guarantee absolutely NOTHING! Again, not thinking outside the box is the reason people fail.

I'll simply remind you that at the time of VISA applications/interviews, everyone tells the VO they ONLY wanna go study and go back to their country. All the ideas about OPT/H1B visa etc plans after school (if we're strictly going by the book) ARE ILLEGAL. I'm sure you know that having/hiding an immigrant intent during a NON-IMMIGRANT visa application is illegal and that's already a reasonable ground for denial.

If you don't believe me, someone here should go for a visa interview and when asked why they chose the program/school, they should say: "because it's a STEM program, after graduation, good companies will hire me and I stand a better chance of getting H1B visa".

My point: people who sit on the moral high ground with the same IMMIGRANT INTENT, should not come here discouraging a section of people who wouldn't do things their way and encouraging others. There are other ways to become an immigrant and have a life in the U.S., it's not just for programmers/nurses/engineers and that's why I always say leave people to think outsiide the box and have a plan with their life.

Let's be consistent! If we wanna advise people to come here to study, let's do JUST that! Encourage them to study and go back to where they're coming from. If we wanna start advising people on how to achieve their American dreams (whatever the dreams are), let's level the playing field.

The American dream is NOT only for students on scholarship, first class graduates, engineering/IT/Medical majors. Anyone in life can be successful in anything they set their hearts on with good planning and a bit of luck.
