OZAOEKPE:
only a fool go think say buhari no no about this maina issue

aribisala0:
Factually do you have aa shred of evidence to back this claim?

It simply is not true. Many people may have CLAIMED they opened accounts. Have you got evidence of those who had papers and were denied

More importantly what you fail to tell us is assuming your claim is true what happened to the money.

Was their ever any legislation empowering government to take such money or did the banks benefit

Were Ikwerres affected ? Why not how not?

What about so called DElta Igbos?

Surely such a decree or law must have been gazetted
Surely it must have made it into ONE NEWSPAPER article somewhere ?

What was the size of Bank deposits in Nigeria in total. Surely there must be some evidence of something.



Did the Nigerian government confiscate the money? By decree or what mechanism?

Our laws are not secret!!
The banks were not government owned in fact one was British and the other partly British. They could not hand over money without a decree or gazette

prodigy24:
You are insulting our intelligence with this nonsense.
My last post on this is, people lodged money into banks with hope of getting the equivalent, but was given a paltry of 20 pounds. My parents were victims, they told me that people contributed money across the village, but was disappointed when 20 pounds was given to them. Now answer me how much can 30 persons get from 20pounds? What ratio will you use to share it?
What happened? My parent forsake the money to the account owner, went home empty handed ,stared from the beginning and you are here .making conjectures. Why don't you go and ask people who are truly affected about their story, instead of you coming on nairaland to incur generational curses!

obailala:
The FG didn't pay any money to Igbos, rather they returned a tiny fraction of the seized. If an Igbo man had £10,000 in his account, only £20 was returned to him; if the man had zero in his account, nothing was paid to him.

JUSTICE4Nigeria:
propaganda at it best, igbo been business men have so much money in the bank before the war, after the war, whether u have equivalent or more than the aforementioned u will be given 20pounds just like given every igbo 20naira after all they have save in Nigeria bank, awolOwo took THE balance to buy shares in different company, due to they didn't laboured for it yorubas squandered the fund,

Paperwhite:
Good! Weldone! But this late damage control to douse the effects of Mainagate.Now EFCC,DSS should immediately descend on them and let the prosecution begins.
Well, next are the cabal members cum culprits of Mainagate sharperly.Meanwhile why announcing a crucial decision of this national importance on twitter and not via a nationwide presidential address or is the government ashame of it own decision?

ATIKUisCOOL:
That's the supposed civilised society.
A man of over 70yrs,so what's wrong in bringing ATIKU 2019?

izombie:
your zombeism reach america too. I like trump but truth be told, the man is bad, very bad that even republicans are wondering whats going on. If trump is not impeached before the next election then he will not win a 2nd term. And for the record, anytime i am in nigeria and i see buhari's convoy i will give all of them the middle finger especially at buhari.

Ebiezprada:
You just do not understand yet that Nigeria is being scammed.

bigfish3k:
I guess u are a politician, because of the way u rigmarole with words without giving a direct answer

echelons:
In as much I'd love a stable currency, the CBN should work hard to improve the value of the Naira. N360/$ is still too high especially because we virtually import everything into the country and more than average Nigerian finds his/cashflow stagnating at what it used to be in first quarter of 2015 or even going lower.

CBN pls epp us, we can't buy anything again, and bae is not happy.

bigfish3k:
you that is portraying urself as mr know all have not been able to defend ur self properly , u are just busy abusing me unjustifiably up and down. I have not grabbed anything from u whether it is the NNPC act or whatsoever to correct me. but nay, its only abuses . so its ur kind of youth that supports corruption that the country needs. have u countered me reasonably , instead u are telling me to go and be doing research. I have read barus defence and told u what I understand , instead of u to post ur corrections and chill, but u are replying me so bitterly without urself citing portions of the NNPC act as if I took something away from u. if there is no corruption, how come

when I asked u 15 people appointed in NNPC without following federal character u kept mute. barus gate u kept mute also

I have been replying u in civility since , but u will never post without abusing or telling me how better knowledged u are without citing anything to support urself, instead u are busy giving me assignments up and down and when I don't do it u become bitter.
just cite ur relevant portions and counter me, stop giving me assignments, am not ur student
a bitter youth u are

you can restrict urself to romance section. anyway, from the kind of person I decipher from ur write ups , u cant keep a woman. you are intolerant and not fit to be a present day youth

bigfish3k:
from barus defence and from ur posts, I got to know that the board has no role to play. this isn't good for our corruption fight
I still believe that the board should be involved

bigfish3k:
but baru said that he sent the contracts to baba to approve after the tenders board
don't u think a board meeting approval would have been more appropriate
as in more eyes should see and vet it to prune out excesses

bigfish3k:
but are u ok with the present set up? which can allow for corruption

Ebiezprada:
Let me start by saying that Alhaji Aliko Dangote's refinery which will have alongside it the largest petrochemical plant in West Africa when completed is worth about $12billion. That's a lot of investment from one man. It will directly improve Nigeria's economy in any angle we look at it from.
Allegations were made by Dr Ibe Kachikwu that about $26billion has been awarded in contracts illegally by the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC). Nigeria as a country has never had a budget up to that amount in a year, yet such amount has been awarded in contracts within a year. Our President who also doubles as the Minister of Petroleum resources and his crony Mr Baru who is the GMD of NNPC are from regions that have not contributed as much as 10litres of oil to support the economy of Nigeria since oil is the main driver of Nigeria's economy.
If Nigeria was a saner society than it is today, positions related to petroleum resources, whether elected or appointed would be an exclusive right of the people of the Delta. But, the good people of the Delta hardly complain about all these. As a matter of fact, most people from the Niger Delta are interested in the relative peace of the region.
As at today, Dr Ibe Kachikwu is taking the fall and people are forgetting that it is a whooping $26billion we're talking about here. There are crude oil refineries in Rivers, Delta and Kaduna states which should take good care of the country's needs as a matter of fact, but today, we're still importing refined crude oil products. Maybe we should have given Alhaji Dangote that $26billion to build us two good refineries and perhaps keep the balance as an appreciation for his work. That amount is allocated to projects that the entire masses know nothing about? Where's the fairness and transparency in that?
The kind of followership that Buhari enjoys is cult-like, where he is seen as infallible. It is on record that he misappropriated $2.4billion sometime ago which is equivalent to about $1trillion of today. Again, another $500million was lost under him and all these monies are related to petroleum. So you see, the man is just obsessed with oil. Apart from the claim to fight corruption, diversification of the economy was another song on the mouth of the current FG's lips during the pre-election campaigns. And two years later, our President still maintains his lust after oil and that's why economy diversification seems impossible under the Buhari led Government.
Unlike his supporters see him, the man Buhari is not infallible. He is full of errors, division, hate, has many faults and in reality he is weak. No matter how good his cronies might want to make the picture of today's Nigeria look, that man isn't taking Nigeria anywhere good.

Olisa Agbakoba, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria has sued the Federal Government over what he described as “lopsided appointments” at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

According to a statement signed on Monday by his media assistant, Niyi Odunmorayo, the SAN made the allegation in a suit filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja.

In the suit, he challenged the non-inclusion of the South East of the country in appointments to the NNPC Board. The legal practitioner alleged that the appointment made by the Federal Government contravened the provisions of Section 14 of the Constitution, as well as the Federal Character Commission Act.

He stated that it was also in contravention of the “provisions of Sections 42 of the Constitution of Nigeria that prohibits discrimination of any of Nigeria’s ethnic groups such as, in this case, the South East.” Agbakoba requested the court to declare the “lopsided appointments” of board members of the South East region unconstitutional, null and void.

He was a fooooolish foooooool to do so. So if they were ritualists, he will follow them to an isolated place and allow dem pieces him


As long AS say I dey drivers seat, I will throttle down to 160km/hr

bigfish3k:
am not quoting any act, what am saying is that if there is non, there suppose to be a board under this corruption fighting administration to checkmate excesses of individuals in awarding contracts. there is even a board under NNPC, of what purpose is it, if one of its purposes is not to checkmate contracts, only trivial things, then it is useless. after all they are the ones that unbundled NNPC

am not the one that asked them to use corruption as a campaign tool. so the chicken has come to roost let them practicalise it

bigfish3k:
one of the roles of that board is to make sure that contracts are not inflated and that they are given to qualified persons. so if the board is by passed, then all these anomalies I wrote above will take place which is corruption untamed

all those contract items u are asking me are stated in kachikwus letter, so I cant list them again

NigerDeltan:
Jonathan actually left a good and reasonable amount in the reserve after all

Godbless our hero

3year high is still within Buhari's tenure

Mendelssohn:
Same was my experience about two months ago around same area you mentioned. There was this serious traffic jam shortly after redemption camp which took me over an hour of snail progression. Shortly after I got to a place where the traffic was much lighter, I heard a strange sound around my front tyre. Really, I wasn't sure but I just had to take precaution. I veered completely off the road and parked at the front of a company which had a reasonable setback from the man road. I didn't even put off the ignition as all I wanted to do was to check if I wasn't having a flat tyre. To my utmost astonishment, these same guys came in a black Honda civic 2001 model and crossed my car. One of them immediately occupied the driver's seat of my car and directed me to sit at the passenger's side. It seemed like armed robbery attack when the guy started driving my car to an unknown destination, driving under a bridge to join the other line, facing ibadan. It was a serious fight in the car as I was even scared if they were kidnappers. They later drove into an office and issued a ticket of 35,000. They showed me a bank very closeby, where I paid that sum before I was able to retrieve my car.

kattytamer:
"inconsequential concotions"? You are wrong, crude oil accounts for over 95% of our foreign exchange and gdp, what is the igr of the states compared to annual allocations from abj? If you were the chairman of some successful biz empire with several branches and several branches have become unproductive despite regular repeated re-investments what do you do?

The money shared monthly by the three tiers of government domiciled in the federation account as enshrined by section 162 of the constitution, comes from where?
Make your response elaborate enough so we will all appreciate your "sharing oil money" phrase a cliche always spewed by ignorant pitiful Nigerian youths.
