due process sir! due process!, such touching has to be approved by law!

Hahahahah ... Uncle!!! Due process, after recovering loots, which other process but investing the recovered loot. The economy is hitting the rock, we are closing-up on recession, having two negative fiscal returns, states are going financially insolvent, Nigeria is borrowing left,right and center and you are approving more delay. I can tell you one thing for sure, whatever was declared recovered was hyped, meaning they recovered just peanut.

Please, explain to me what you mean by due process, thanks.

is the judgement about ineligibility of the Governor, or the eligibility of Uche.

From my observation, that of Uche. Remember that if the supreme court upholds the judgment of high court, Uche will automatically become governor, and so, the only way to hurt him is to make him ineligible, and surrender the mantle of leadership to the third runner-off, that's if... the supreme court upholds the verdict of the lower court.

But then, Abia state governor will unturn that judgment by any means necessary, this is Nigeria where anything goes.

IamPatriotic:
you think so?

Once they convict him of forgery, he automatically becomes politically ineligible to vie for any political office.

sometimes, when u talk, I mean u wailers (whether u are not one doesn't matter because u jes talked as one), I wonder why ur senses eludes u.

U wanted us to tackle the issue constructively, but u went ahead and talk trash!

If u want to be constructive, oya, begin to compare the 5 and half yrs of Jonathan with buahri...

U guys are not calling a spade a spoon talkless of a spade...

Na buhari dey sponsor ur brothers wey dey blow up every pipes wey cause power to be down or income to be down?

Even with that, States can't say they didn't receive their allocations and federal workers collects salaries before month end. Something that was a mystery and an impossible task during Jonathan who kept eating fat and talking abt the Nation being broke even at an all time historic $115/barrel with full production every day!

Yeye dey smell...

Lazy president, l guess it was Niger Delta militants that made him delay choosing ministers six months after been elected.

IamPatriotic:
How many people contested the primary election? if they were more than two , the person who came third can still benefit from the judgement, provided he went to equity with clean hands.

Since he was the one who file a suit against the governor, he "may" be forced to withdraw or reach a concensus with the governor as to be the next-in-line.

antispexish:
you have shifted from budget to recovered loot. that recovered loot can't be touched for now.

Don't be cheap brother, why can't we touch our "presumed recovered loot", since we've recovered our so called looted treasury?

Akissani:
dis Igbo guys ehn......u guys are just gud at nothing but supporting criminals
u support Dasuki that is hausa/fulani
u support fayose dat is yoruba
u support FFK dat is yoruba
u support saraki dat is yoruba/muslim
U beta change dis ur attitude bos wit dis ur attitudes we will neva have Igbo as pre in dis country not to even talk of president

I feel sorry for the Yorubas like you, let me tell you effects of self righteousness on your tribe, it makes you see others as faulty, just to look immaculate.

While you were busy shouting sophistication, other regions has toppled West in education, commerce,sports,innovations etc ... Yet for you government position is for record of supremacy while to the Igbos it's a means of emacipation and empowerment.
We love crime, but you voted Kasemu a renounced drug lord as a senator, what an irony.

antispexish:
how many months have passed. so you think recovery will be immediate abi !

Where they not the ones who declared recovered loots? or... are you saying they declared what they've not recovered?

The question should be, are we recovering? The answer is NO !!!, at least for now. We were told that signing of 2016 budget will ease austerity, months are gone nothing seems to be changing, rather we are touring the part of ... complete the sentence (coughing).

Raising the alarm on Nigeria’s use of aid funds

The U.K. aid commitment to Nigeria has now ballooned to £860 million directed toward the fight against Boko Haram, but what has Buhari achieved? It’s been two years since British counterterrorism experts, joined by their American counterparts, traveled to Abuja after the Nigerian schoolgirl kidnappings to assist Buhari’s predecessor with plans to defeat the Islamist group. Now, Western officials want an investigation into whether the funds that followed are being diverted toward the suppression of Buhari’s own political opponents; in the year since Buhari took power, a number of the former ruling party’s officials have been imprisoned without charge. The arrests are approved by Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crime Commission, with funding from the very same helpful U.K. agency for development.

American officials are calling it a scandal, and warn that Boko Haram remains unchecked even as Nigeria is becoming a police state and Buhari relentlessly pursues his foes. They may be right, but they’re also complicit in the unfolding catastrophe. Nigeria received nearly $600 million from the United States in 2014, with $8 million of that earmarked for military assistance, putting it among the six African nations listed among the top 10 countries in the world who receive the most direct aid support from the U.S. Worryingly, those already important sums are poised to rise even further after the U.S. government announced it would lift restrictions on weapons sales to Nigeria, despite lingering human rights concerns.

In that fight against Boko Haram, the Nigerian military has abandoned all pretense of protecting human rights. Amnesty International reports that babies and children are dying in detention camps where no proof of Boko Haram affiliation is necessary for authorities to incarcerate thousands of people – of whom an estimated 7,000 have died since 2011.

What the West is actually buying is a humanitarian crisis. More than 2.5 million people have been forced to flee their homes in the north, where incessant fighting has disrupted trade and agriculture, leaving 50,000 people to starve. Meanwhile, security continues to deteriorate in the south, according to the International Crisis Group. Clashes between Nigerian authorities and Biafran separatists at the end of May resulted in deaths in several southeastern cities. Elsewhere, Nigerians say their pleas to end the chronic violence of the Fulani herdsmen fall on deaf ears. New extremist groups are emerging, including the Niger Delta Avengers who claimed six attacks on Nigeria’s crucial oil infrastructure last month. With the slumping oil economy – and the structural industry corruption in Nigeria – the news that ExxonMobil is under investigation for a lucrative deal planned in Nigeria brought even more dismay.

End funding for yet another authoritarian African regime

With no relief in sight, the U.K. has announced an additional £32 million in humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering in the northeast – this time, to be funneled through the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross. Still, there are no guarantees that Nigerian officials and local agencies won’t misuse the funds. The Global Fund recently announced it has suspended AIDS funding support after $3.8 million was stolen by Nigerian agency workers, but the far greater loss is to the 1.8 million HIV-positive Nigerians for whom it was earmarked.

The world hoped for better. African development expert Helen Epstein, writing as Buhari took office, said that as long as Buhari honored human rights while ending corruption, Nigeria might reflect a new dawn on a continent scarred by the tyranny of its leaders in the post-colonial era – and, ironically, the Western development aid that “enables African leaders to ignore the demands of their own people, and facilitates the financing of the patronage systems and security machinery that keeps them in power.”

That dawn has not come. More feel-good stories, more money and military aid are destroying Nigeria. So, it appears, is Buhari. It’s time for the West to pull the plug, before its well-intended efforts make another decades-long regime for an African strongman and another opportunity lost to history.

Akissani:
2geda with d senate president he was charged wit forging d senate rules. In a sane clime, he would hav tender his resignation. Instead, he wore d Igbo traditional attire go court. An attire synonymous with respect, purity and power. To whip up sentiments and sympthy of d N'digbo. Whereas he was engaged in forgery, he did it for his self ambition. Ask what meaningful contribution has he made to d Igbo region and people since he became a senator in may 2003, about 13 yrs ago. Absolutely NOTHING!
In his very eyes, d GEJ administration came and went, senatoe Ike Ekweremadu could not use his position as a two time deputy senate president to influence d construction of d 2nd Niger Bridge as promised
Erosion is devastating in d entire south east region, what has senator Ike Ekweremadu done to stem d tide? NOTHING! Absolutely NOTHING!
Now d three-time deputy senate president went to d court on charges of forgery dressed in Igbo attire. SHAMELESS MAN!

The level of gullibility sinking Yoruba as a tribe is unprecedented. How can a people presume an accused guilty before court verdict?, you are always blaming others, failing to see your ends... I wish you guys good luck. As for the Igbos, we are not mindful of Government free money, we take dignity in our labour.

Afrok:
Cool... They should continue their recycling, seems they have no reasons to upgrade

Why can't you take the responsibility of upgrading Nigerian movie to another stage, since you are slighted by there lack of zeal to improve.
Stop venting your frustration on others, we are all stake holders in nation's building.

Was it not the same thing Ojukwu was asking for that finally led to Biafra war, after Nigerian accepting " Fiscal Federalism in Aburi Ghana, Nigeria suddenly reneged.

onepluone:
My thoughts exactly. There is no evidence that OP is not one of the many yorubas that start igbo versus Niger Delta thread.


For all we know, this could be the Fulani master plan to destroy the south. All the attacks started wen Buhari became President.


From Middle belt to South south, south east and south west.

You people seem to fail to know the difference between Loans and Investments. Nigeria does not want loan from China. Adeosun has already raised bond in the EU for that. What we want is Investments (FDI) from those countries into our Oil and Gas Sector. If the $50b enters, we can forget fuel scarcity, Gas problem, Electricity problem, Petrochemical Problems, Fertilizer production problem, employment problem for the teeming youths, etc.

Ibe Kachukwu was talking about investments and not loans!

Let me quote him..."Mr. Ibe Kachikwu, on Monday, disclosed that the country is seeking to "RAISE" between $40 billion and $50 billion from Chinese investors in the next couple of days to bridge infrastructure funding gap in the Nigerian petroleum"

You don't raise investors from Chinese investors, rather loan. You may need to revisit the caption to help you if the content is hyper incomprehensive or problematic.

This article is a personal view, it doesn't represent Igbo's position, considering the fact that the attack is "alleged" to be militants, without any prove.

My heart goes out to the bereaved, may God give them the fortitude to bear there loss.

Masculity:
Thanks for your understanding.
Your answer to question one
Ibo have the highest number of entrepreneurs.


Question Two. Not sure.





Question three: Hausa/fulani. My reference to one of there state slogan Centre of commerce.




NB: This is my opinion, and I judge best on my understanding.

Your sense of humor is top notch. El-rufil as the minister of FCT said Igbos own 63% of properties in Abuja, and Lagos may not be as much as that, but at least 40% at least.

Adminisher:
Nigerian youths of nowadays are dull brained. It is now a national issue. The educational system is now so inferior that simple exertion to find out facts is lacking.

These are project targeted loans to develop oil and gas reserves ( I hope offshore anyway ) . The projects pay off themselves in just two and a half years. Actually with Dangote and other refinery expansions in 2027 and the new gas prices coupled with targeted power of 40000MW maybe the projects pay off even before then. Nigeria can then expect a production level of close to 4 million barrels per day which can have such a multiplier effect on the economy that it grows GDP to1 trillion dollars as early as 2031

Every government must think of its youth, it's future but from what I am reading here the youths don't think of themselves. The money the FG has recovered is about 2 trillion including TSA. That is a far cry from what we need to develop infrastructure not to talk of our national business of oil and gas production.

I hate when those who deem themselves knowledgeable become a product of gullibility, if Nigerian has two trillion naira from recovered loots, with revenue from crude and non-oil sector accounting for at least three trillion, meaning they will run a deficit of just one trillion... So, why do they need such amount of money, or are they operating another budget different from 2016?
Sir, you may need to convert $50 billion, even at N282 per Dollar, it gives you N14 trillion, l hope you know the implications, in terms of repayment plans, this time our debt service will hit 90%.
Don't you know every country has a debt ceiling, were is ours?

Secondly, l hope you understand the Nigeria in the 2015 budget serviced her debt with 21% of her entire budget, and now, we are faced with a life time mortgage.
You've not even bordered to ask the terms of the loan, yet you are praising Bubuya.

Masculity:
Bro.. Is like you are missing something. I'm not defending him, and I will never do that. Anyone found guilty in a competent court of law should be sentence accordingly.



All what I'm saying is people need to stay focused.


The last bullet: My tribe is far ahead of yours in terms of wealth.

I respect your articulation quite well,but assuming your tribe is as wealthy as you want to imagine, let me ask you simple questions
1. Which tribe has the highest number of enterprenuers?
2. Which tribe has the highest property in Nigeria?
3. Which tribe dominate the Nigeria commerce?

You should have asked why Nigeria can't take the pills of allowing Biafra.

Masculity:
He could have told us about the person in question's family history, there sources of income. Donations and gift if any, etc. Then I will take him serious.

You see why Igbos don't take some tribes serious, then... you are putting up a defense for a clear case of corruption, we don't care whether he is tried or not, we have our careers and businesses to attend to, keep shouting sai Buhari while we win the economic war.

joborskill:
This boy should be arrested for treason by displaying that evil biafra flag in our United nation Nigeria The useless toy he made is inconsequential to igbo land due to their love for foreign made goods. Igbo governors are overlooking innoson autos for Hyundai while they expect other Nigerians to buy their over hyped piece of metal called innoson autos. This jobless boy is definitely one of the yoots influenced by that albino called Nnamdi kanu on his evil radio before he was locked up like a goat. I hate that biafran logo on that Keke and i will never hide my hate for any biafran thread. May God bless Buhari and Nigerians

No go develop BP because of Biafra, imagine how Europe allowed Britain to choose if they still want to remain in Europe. Europe could have fought them if there livelihood is dependent on Britain like Nigeria on Biafra.

koboko69:
I have said it before. DSS needs to keep a close watch on Vanguard. The manner at which they report is to stir up anger and instigate violence. They do the same thing when reporting about militants activities.

I read this now, i can't make any meaning out of it,

No reason for not probing

They said he justified FIRS and CBN recruitment, no justifications found in the report.

Then they suddenly have reasons for confab report, which does not even tally with the title..

This is kangaroo journalism, and a junk silly piece of article

Why was Nation's newspaper spared during Jonathan's regime? Truly West are coooooowards, always scared of oppositions.

He ruined it by dropping power to zero megawatts, by causing 1 dollar to turn N360 Naira in just one year, chasing away foreign investors with primary school economic policies, and forcing a litre of fuel at 145 in less than a year ...Hahahahah.
