Quite an immature and childish response but I'll leave u to it...it's your call

chccho:
OK maybe they should shut it down if that will make u feel better

asEdeyHOT:
I am not here to argue with you sir

I just find it funny that it is PDP blogs carrying the news.

This is the link on the OP and it is not working because they took it down.

http://tribuneonlineng.com/buhari-is-not-sincere-with-corruption-fight-

It is not down...it's right there on their site. I'm not arguing with u anyway...it's ur browser and whatever u see. U are just being highly uncharitable by reducing people's businesses to mere PDP blogs simply because the news isn't in favour of the government or d ruling party.

PS: I'm female not a sir.

chccho:
its not good to always complain complain, even if its just a cosmetic intervention its still an improvement of the present situation faced by Nigerians after all it had been shut down all this while and no one was thinking of reviving them until bihari stepped in..abeg give credit when u have to.."change is coming"

It is quite untrue that no one tried to revive them till Buhari stepped in. Mindtwister is actually right. We cannot keep celebrating mediocrity and half measures when we have d capacity to operate optimally but for short sightedness and corruption from decades past. I honestly hope these repairs are the real deal that will last an appreciably long time otherwise it amounts to throwing away good money after bad.

You have said the truth that sycophants that pretend to be more Catholic than the Pope will attack u for. They keep trying hard to be politically correct while the truth stares them in the face... The logistics involved alone....

Txonyi:
so wait instead of rehabilitating and restarting PH or WARRI refineries knowing fully well that these places produce the oil, buharam and co restarted KADUNA abi?
now if i call him a bigot tribalist or better still SADIST, running a loopsided govt now someone will start crying and calling me names abi?
well he should continue
nigeria will DIE soonest

asEdeyHOT:
I am not familiar with news outlets such as, The Whistle. Ionigeria and the newsgr. These are blogs set up for propaganda purposes

How come none of the major news agencies are reporting it?

You think Itse Sagay will want to make such pronouncements on blogs?

I doubt the authenticity of the report and I stand by my position

It is fake news by PDP blogs

According to you, the only recognizable one is Tribune and it is right there, working as expected. Have they also carried fake news? That u are not familiar with others doesn't make them fake or non-credit worthy.

The business of journalism is not locked down to the oldies like Vanguard, Punch, Nation and co. Others come into it as they can and it's quite uncharitable for u to decide that they have carried fake news or lies simply because u aren't familiar with them.

Did u actually try opening the sites? The Tribune one is right there on d op and not pulled down as u said. It also works and opens to what is posted here on the op so how do u justify ur assertion that it is fake news or PDP sponsored?

asEdeyHOT:
All the sources provided for this article are fake PDP blogs.

The only recognizable source is the one from Tribune and they have taken it down after realizing it is bogus

Itse Sagay will only give this interview to reputable news outlets

Shame on PDP and wailers. They tried to deceive Nigerians with the fake 200 dead soldiers weeks ago, since the, not one widow or family members have asked for the whereabouts of their husband or loved ones

Another PDP sponsored fake news to fight the war against corruption

Let mad sycophants keep denying d obvious and supporting evil. It will consume them all in no distant time.

The CONFAB report is sitting there and no one is even reviewing it with a view to implementing its recommendations yet mad persons revile those that seek to chart a different course and bear an identity different from Nigeria.

The date with the truth is near...

This is stupid... So people cannot even access legitimate funds because of some draconian policies that hurt d economy even more? And what alternative is in place?

MizMyColi:
Nne, leave that one first and let's face topic.

Did you read @zuby777's post?

Is it a mere coincidence that a certain Sabi'u Yusuf, who has been linked to the account number posted in the OP was appointed PMB's PA?

https://www.naij.com/485025-president-buhari-appoints-personal-assistant.html

Nwanne mmadu I have seen his post. I even remember a picture of d said Sabi'u that made the rounds upon his appointment. The one that looked like GMB was teaching him what to say.

Nigerians are resourceful and I'm fairly amazed by efforts at investigating and connecting the dots. The problem lies with what will be done with such information. A sane society and even mainstream media will verify and pursue the information but u and I know that unless there's a miracle, they will just kill d story n sweep it under the carpet.

A forgetful citizenry such as we have will also move along and 'leave them for God'. Pata pata they will call such recipient a 'misguided brother', that is if as stated here, he is from a certain region.

Meanwhile did u see this? I've been looking for d insult o!

asEdeyHOT:
Must you insult people?
You cannot do without abusing posters
Smh

2sex:
school yourself please

First quote appropriate posts. I am d same person clearly but this post u have quoted has absolutely nothing to do with the current discourse.

I drew ur attention because u don't seem to understand where that word came from or why it was used. Did u read d post she responded to initially before u quoted her? It just might clearly show where u veered off into ur response that did not relate to her statement in any way and ur insult that was uncalled for.

2sex:
madam, words means different things in different context that they are used... I know what she meant exactly in her context. swerve!

Humour me....what was she referring to? What was her grouse in d context used?

kolokolobi:
Well I nosed around. One Sabiu Yusuf is PA to GMB. I don't know if there is another as the op said he hadn't worked in his life.

Men! Investigation matter no be here o! Pls keep it up n make sure u get good n correct info. The ppl sef na devil so pls watch thy back

MizMyColi:
lolz.
You dey mind am?

Clearly he lacked an understanding of what I was trying to communicate.

Shed light ke?
That one seems unwilling to learn.
I'll pass Nne.

Lol...the matter worry no be small. All because of perceived hatred for GEJ...so much retrogression now manifest in matters of English language and simple comprehension. Nne pass biko...no need

2sex:
your grouse? did you hear your PDP led Dasuki was following instructions from GEJ? Iranu

Uh...did u quite understand the statement she responded to? Or is d meaning of 'grouse' a little too far out for u in this instance? MizMyColi u may want to 'shed more light' on the matter...

Maja na water, action na blood. Name names and stop being a pansy holding out for soft landing. These people can't even steal with some decorum. At least make sure d job is done while filling ur pockets otherwise don't already! No conscience at all...

Wow! Nigeria is just so awesome right now! Even Oshiomhole with all his loans...he too will confess like withcraft as he claims former Minister of Finance pd money to her family members.

Southerners just keep betraying themselves. Even if he's in a political party different from others at least maintain some silence rather than this virulence he emits! With all d damning revelations by Dasuki, how many of his people have come out to badmouth him?

This current fuel scarcity now clearly stretching into the Christmas holidays, he has not seen it, addressed it or even deemed it condemnable talk less of proffering any viable solution. Rather all he does is repeat same things like a broken record.

INEC cannot conduct elections peacefully in just 2 states and he doesn't see that to talk about. Anyway political prostitution is well paid in Nigeria...

Bald truth staring us in the face but somehow, some depraved and sick persons will say it is untrue and find some justification for the status quo as currently exists in Nigeria.

Truly, Nigeria has a date with the truth and at d end Children of Light (Biafrans) will part ways with d darkness they are forced to grope within.

247Dior:
Nigeria can not be dragged into war between Muslim nations, Nigeria is not a Muslim nation and the coalition is for Muslim nations... so the earlier you get that into your dick head the better for you.....

Excuse me! Why have u quoted me to call urself a dick head and say exactly what I've said which is that Nigeria is not a muslim country and should not be part of the said coalition?

First, u start by asking what d major problem of Igbos are, with that silly nickname that better describes u and urs. Is CAN an Igbo organisation? Are Igbos d only Christians in Nigeria?

You go further to expose ur unparalleled lack of understanding about these issues. Is Nigeria an islamic country? Should such an involvement not be debated properly within our domain before getting involved? There is a reason Nigeria must abstain from certain labels which otherwise pass a wrong message which begins to confirm certain suspicions and stir the already irate hornet's nest!

On what basis do u assume that more than half of Nigeria's population are muslim? U are the kind that just like to make statements for the hell of it without proper regard and thought.

GogetterMD:
BH has pledged alliance to Daesh(IS), so it's more of a splinter terror cell of ISIS in west Africa. Now they want to form a coalition to cut ISIS down to size (much like the MNJTF), you are here claiming islamization of Nigeria. Like say more than half the population of Nigerians ain't Muslims before.
Now that help is minimal and we need as many hands as possible to put an end to this scourge once and forall, CAN is here spilling balderdash.

P.S. before you start shouting and screaming Arab nations, don't forget that Isreal is also an Arab nation

What manner of madness! When did education of children become something to be trifled with, enough to hinge their admission on evidence of payment of tax?

Can the executive council not come up with effective ways of ensuring tax compliance and payment? So children will now pay d price of being denied education in d event that their parents don't provide tax receipt? What is d business of d education sector with taxation?

So called leaders just get away with so much because even d courts, weak as they've been made, have been barred from enquiring into whether d govt at every level has performed its duties towards d citizens. This is so shameful!

Hmmm...drama indeed! Please General Integrity aka GMB had barely One million naira upon entry into d Presidential race and had to take a loan of 25m for APC expression of interest form o!

Like they will say, these are innocent and misguided brethren. Even the Army that perpetrated this vicious crime and the Shiites that were murdered are also 'misguided bretgren'.

So who is working to properly guide the 'misguided' ones? How did they get misguided in the first place? Yet, when it suits the purposes of the elite, they unleash these 'misguided' ones both from d Army and d civilians to carry out evil attacks on their enemies. When all that is done, they conclude d matter as done by 'misguided' brethren and they are left to their own devices.

One Nigeria? Good!

I have not condemned petroleum related activities. Maybe u are the one with poor understanding wahala.

How do u support the exploration of crude in an area that has not had much yield despite all d billions of dollars already expended there? In a country where we still oddly produce crude n import refined petroleum? Did u not see in my post where I said expenses should rather be geared towards building new refineries to put an end to d infernal importation of petroleum?

The countries u named are they as crazy n foolish as Nigeria has been in the handling of our petroleum industry? Renewable energy serves as a viable alternative which should be pursued to reduce over dependence on crude and also improve power supply.

Petroleum is not expected to be phased out completely but it must be properly and efficiently managed. Now is not the time to expend scarce resources on areas that do not in any way translate to an improvement of d economy in the short run. Rather d govt ought to be creating an investment friendly environment that brings in investors to get involved in such ventures if viable.

Nalikedis:
Renewable energy this, renewable energy that... Knowledge without understanding and wisdom na real wahala O. If you care to know a technologically advanced Russian has not been looking for alternative in renewable energy but rather they are exploiting their opportunity in fossil gas production in the face of the present oil price debacle. Oil price will always fall and also they will always rebound. Isreal, UK, Brazil, Russia, Ukraine are still massively investing into oil exploration... Infact, investment into exploration by oil companies have not been so affected with the oil price but rather production. Most companies are even investing into exploration more now that is why geologists are getting recruited despite job loss that is prevalent in oil companies

goodlifehyd:
His perceived enemies or the enemies of the whole nation who turned nigeria into what it is presently So Buhari was the one who spent money meant to purchase arms on campaign or do you know how many lives would have been saved if things were put in place?? Do you know how many thousands of farmlands that had been abandoned cuz of this trash?
So you think getting oil from lake Chad where other countries are getting theirs is a waste? I bow!!!

The point is, while investigations are ongoing regarding corrupt members of government, we must also move forward from practices that are obviously not beneficial in the face of current realities.

Oil prices are falling, we have an abundance already that we cannot sell, GMB has just returned from a climate change conference from where he should have understood the deleterious effects of green house gas emissions mainly from petroleum. He has also made a case regarding the fast recession of the same Lake Chad which is affecting agriculture. He had made nominal reference to Ogoni clean up which results from the same oil. It therefore stands to reason that further allocation of scarce resources for oil exploration is development in reverse!

He needs to be paying attention to more sustainable practices that will be beneficial to Nigerians in the long run! It will also provide jobs as u mentioned in ur earlier post while preserving the environment.

Sometimes we need to face the bald truth. The North is even the major supplier of the raw materials needed for renewables such as sunlight and wind! That is what a proactive leader should be pursuing and opening up new investment opportunities for. He should be investing in research both of practical and legal regulation of renewables.

Any expense on petroleum should be on building new n effective refineries to put an end to the infernal importation of petroleum products.

Criticism is no crime and it behoves people erring like GMB and supporters like u to look beyond same practices that have yielded nothing much and move on to more sustainable activities. If the anti-corruption crusade will go on while this exploration of oil commences, then it can still go on while Nigeria preserves her arable regions and avoids unnecessary waste of resources.

THE MIRACLE IS THAT NIGERIA WITH ALL MASSIVE THESE LOOTINGS FROM LEFT, RIGHT, FRONT AND BACK IS STILL STANDING AS A NATION TODAY!

GOD IS GREAT!!

A nation? Hmmm...highly debatable.

Jaundiced:
I read both 4 & 5 and neither addressed my questions. All you did was try to wriggle you way out, without any definitive answers. I believe my questions are direct enough and direct answers should suffice.

In case you missed my questions, let me post them again:

1). MASSOB members were detained (some of the are still locked up) and were killed in the most brutal and inhumane manner, with their bodies dumped in a river, during the previous government. Why wasn't there a protest against the extrajudicial killings and disregard for human rights?

2). You and I know how government bureaucracy works. If the previous administration was actually interested in the CONFAB, it would've implemented its recommendations. So why leave the implementation to a new administration with a completely different agenda? Trojan horse?

Unfortunately I cannot help ur comprehension issues. Long winded questions like urs can actually be answered in few words like I did. If u can't answer the ones I posed or comprehend my responses to yours then that is ur cup of tea.

It is exactly why the core issues are never addressed and rather shied away from as u are attempting to do.

Jaundiced:
You didn't respond to my questions, you just asked me your own questions.

Post your answers again.

No 4 & 5 of my response address ur questions and follow with other questions.

Jaundiced:
You can't respond to questions with questions. It is either you are rude, or deliberately trying to deflect what will obviously show you have no argument.

If you want me to answer your questions; provide answers to mine and we move from there. Kapish?

If u had bothered to read, you'd have seen that I responded to ur questions. Respond to mine objectively if u can. U are just funny....

I will respond with some questions of my own:

1. Do u agree that there are fundamental problems with the structure and allocation principles of Nigeria that are responsible for the deep decay we have today?

2. Have there been calls and demands for changes?

3. Previous administrations from independence till date, how many attempted to address these issues until Jonathan?

4. With the uneven representation at Federal level and knowing that the North with more representatives constantly kick against fiscal autonomy, how did u expect implementation within one year?

5. Killing and detention of MASSOB members arose out of the same demand for separation. The Nigerian system is already rigged to fail so are u surprised that unarmed people demanding their rights to self-determination are treated with impunity even till now?

6. Have Christians generally and Igbos particularly been singled out for killings in d muslim North. Who has been punished or imprisoned for such wickedness?

7. With sharia in a supposedly secular country and d destruction of large number of alcoholic beverages in places like Kano which represent businesses of 'fellow' Nigerians, was there compensation? Did u hear Igbos or Christians kill anyone despite such losses?

8. Must Biafra remain part of Nigeria? You have called them riff raff, exactly what benefit do they bring to this current union? They say we want no part of this confusion of ideologies and identity again, is there a problem? Should such and many more evils as have occurred even have happened in d first instance?

Jaundiced:
This is a debate and it has nothing to do with sentiments. You raised your points and all I'm doing is countering them with facts. So rise above/beyond emotions and prove me wrong.

1). MASSOB members were detained (some of the are still locked up) and were killed in the most brutal and inhumane manner, with their bodies dumped in a river, during the previous government. Why wasn't there a protest against the extrajudicial killings and disregard for human rights?

2). You and I know how government bureaucracy works. If the previous administration was actually interested in the CONFAB, it would've implemented its recommendations. So why leave the implementation to a new administration with a completely different agenda? Trojan horse?
