If EFCC doesn't go after Aregbesola and jail him, may God make PMB's end be like that of Gaddaffi. ICPC and EFCC should not tell us that have no case of corruption against him.
This is a man that shouldn't be employed to manage a petrol station governing a state.
Now he is asking for primary school result. The same result PMB couldn't produced before election.
All the primary school in Modakeke axis of Ile Ife were burnt down now I have two people looking for primary school certificate from such school.
Aregbesola is going to end up like Nebuchadnezzar. He will fall from grace to grass.
Amen...... Amina-yah-allahu

PoliticsBuhari’s 100 Days Of Incompetence And Abject Failure, By Femi Aribisala by knostbrown01(op): 1:57pm On Sep 08, 2015
After 2015 Election, i predicted on twitter that ted on Twitter that when critical decisions are to be taken, Yemi Osinbajo, the token Southerner in Aso Rock, would be sent to go and buy “guguru and epa.” This has proved prescient. The vice-president was barred from attending a national security briefing on the grounds that he did not have security clearance. But who can have more clearance than a man elected by the people? How
did Buhari himself get his?

On August 30th, 2015, the vice-president was again publicly embarrassed when armed men shut down the Aso Rock Chapel, preventing him from worshipping there.

After shouting myself hoarse, warning Nigerians not to elect Buhari as president, I decided to keep quiet and watch things unfold from the sidelines. Fela said about Buhari’s first-coming: “The people wey no sabi dey jubilate, the people wey sabi dey shake their head.” It is now 100 days since
Buhari became president and many of my worst fears have been confirmed. President Buhari is a ticking time-bomb that might precipitate the disintegration of Nigeria!

Presidential dictatorship

In the middle of a national economic crisis, the president has been comatose. He made himself the Sole Administrator of Nigeria; a role not envisaged by the Constitution. These 100 days, Buhari has been the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Petroleum, as well as the Attorney-General. He has been the Minister of Education, even though we are yet to see his school-leaving certificate. He alone has been the minister in
all the ministries of the federal government.

As a result, the country has ground to a halt. There has been no national direction, no economic policy; no government. Only bombastic anti-corruption rhetoric. Not surprisingly, the
economy has gone from bad to worse. Official reports from the National Bureau of Statistics indicate that while like Nero, Buhari fiddles as Nigeria burns, our GDP has plummeted to
2.35 percent; a 40 percent decline under Buhari. Job-creation has dropped by 69 percent.

The CBN, in its Monetary Policy Committee Report of August 2015, complained that: “lack of fiscal directives is behind(Nigeria’s) current economic woes.” This is a big indictment of the administration. The coming of Buhari has brought about stagnation in domestic and foreign direct investments. The stock market has nose-dived, with investors scared away due to uncertainties arising from the government’s indecisiveness
in the face of national economic adversity.

One-chance presidency

It is now clear that Buhari obtained votes from Nigerians during the election through false pretences. Contrary to his highfalutin campaign promises, he has not stabilised the
international price of oil. Instead, it has fallen drastically from $60 to $40. Buhari has not made the naira equal to the dollar.

As a matter of fact, it has depreciated considerably under his short watch. He has not used his vaunted military experience to defeat Boko Haram. On the contrary, the insurgency has become far more deadly, with over 1,000 innocent Nigerians
killed within just three months. Buhari’s promised free meals for school-children, allowances
for discharged Youth Corpers, and 5,000 naira monthly allowance for indigent Nigerians have all turned out to be poppycock. He has not even mentioned the coal industry in Enugu, how much more made any moves to revive it. His
boast to APC governors that he will recover billions of dollars of stolen funds within three months has proved to be hogwash.

With the election over, he quickly backtracked on Chibok, saying: “We do not know if the Chibok girls can be rescued.”
In my years as a public policy analyst, I have never seen a government anywhere spend its vital first 100 days doing absolutely nothing like this one. In defence of the president’s ineptitude, Lai Mohammed said in a recent interview that:
“Buhari never promised he was going to do anything in 100 days, that’s the honest truth.” This admission by the mouthpiece of the APC confirms conclusively that President Buhari has wasted 100 days of Nigerian lives.

Stolen achievements

Such improvements as are noticeable are legacies of the Jonathan administration. It is the height of deception that the do-nothing Buhari government has been trying to take credit for them.
Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC)
Chairman, Sam Amadi, stressed that the recent improvements in power supply are the result of the efforts made by the Jonathan administration. That should put paid to bogus attempts to attribute them to the effects of Buhari’s “body
language.” Neither does “body language” bring about a turnaround maintenance of our refineries. The credit for this goes to “clueless” Jonathan, and not to “Baba Go-Slow.”
If we are now celebrating the end of polio in Nigeria, it has nothing to do with Buhari, and everything to do with Jonathan. If we are indeed well on our way to self-sufficiency in rice production, it is because of the activities of Jonathan, and not because of the inactivity of Buhari. In three months, the Buhari administration has added nothing to past
achievements. On the contrary, it seems inclined to bring things to a standstill.

Media blackmail

Instead of providing effective leadership, Buhari has opted for a campaign of calumny against the Jonathan administration.

Day-in, day-out, we are regaled with outrageous declarations without substantiation about how bad the previous government was, and by how much it ran down the economy.
Only the gullible would fail to realise this is just a pathetic attempt to divert attention from the incompetence of the Buhari government.
Buhari claims he inherited an empty treasury. Nevertheless, he found over $30 billion in our foreign reserves. He says: “Jonathan’s ministers stole 150 billion dollars,” without telling us where he got this outlandish figure from. We are told one million barrels of oil were stolen every day under Jonathan, without any shred of evidence to back this up.
Buhari even went on record to claim Jonathan diverted $700million from the $1.1 billion Chinese loan for the Lagos/Kano rail project. But the evidence shows the loan was for three
different projects, with only $400 million earmarked for Lagos/Kano rail.
Governor Oshiomhole of Edo State says a senior official of the Obama administration revealed that a Jonathan minister stole $6 billion dollars, no less. This has been denied by the Americans. He claims a consultancy fee of 140 billion naira
was paid for the Second Niger Bridge project. However, the Bureau of Public Procurement says the total cost of the bridge is 108 billion naira.
Oshiomhole should face his State and desist from further cheap newspaper blackmails. Someone needs to remind the APC that election campaigns are over. Once bitten, Nigerians are now twice shy. APC won by manipulating the media. It
cannot expect to rule using the same trickery.

Anti-corruption media distractions

Buhari’s so-called fight against corruption has already become a farce. The first salvo was to lock up former Jigawa State governor and prospective 2019 PDP presidential candidate,Sule Lamido and his two sons in jail with extreme prejudice.
Then when Saraki rocked the boat by steamrolling himself to the Senate presidency without APC endorsement, his wife was peremptorily invited for lunch by the EFCC. The Senate has now retaliated by putting the EFCC Chairman himself on trial on allegation he stole trillions of recovered naira.

The truth of the matter is that any anti-corruption probe is likely to open up a can of worms. Buhari is surrounded by corrupt politicians. Indeed, the APC is so corrupt, the president has not been able to find 36 “clean” ministers among his colleagues in over 100 days. That is some kind of a negative record.
After claiming he did not have the 27.5 million naira required for the APC presidential nomination papers and had to borrow it, Buhari now claims he has 30 million naira sitting pretty in
his bank account. How does he account for this discrepancy?Some of us are also wondering where he got all the money used to finance his expensive election campaign.
If the president wants to probe, he should go right ahead and do so. However, the current shenanigans of trying people in the media, and declaring everybody PDP guilty without trial,
only attests to the lack of sincerity. APC governors, including Amaechi and Kwankwaso, are also accused of corruption.
Fashola of Lagos is alleged to have spent 78 million naira setting up a personal website. These are the president’s political buddies. We are waiting to see if his famous probe will also reach them.
Fighting corruption on the pages of newspapers cannot surely be the only preoccupation of a government. One trenchant observer said: “Probing is not governance neither is body
language a substitute for economic policy.”

Northern agenda

With 100 days in office, Buhari’s ethnic chauvinism is no longer hidden. We have now discovered that what he meant to say on his inauguration is: “I belong to every Northerner, and I belong to no Southerner.” The president went on official trip
to the U.S. without an economic agenda, but with 29Northerners and only four Southerners. While there, he declared that: “The constituents (that) gave me 97 percent cannot in all honesty be treated on some issues with constituencies that gave me five percent.”
We now understand his thinking. Fulani herdsmen continue to kill innocent farmers while Buhari sees no evil and hears no evil; after all, he called them “my people” to Lam Adesina of Oyo State. Of the 32 critical appointments he has made so far,
27 are from his native North and only five from the South. Not a single appointment from the South-East. When queried about this blatant discrepancy, Femi Adesina from the South,
and not Garba Shehu from the North, was craftily trotted out.Tongue-in-cheek, we are told the appointments were made strictly on merit. But since when did the North acquire a monopoly of merit in Nigeria? How can the region with
regularly low cut-off JAMB scores suddenly become the citadel of the most meritorious public servants in the country?

Do-nothing government

The Buhari administration is shaping out to be the most incompetent and inconsequential in the history of Nigeria. It is full of sound and fury signifying nothing. What exactly was the point of electing a “Mr. Do-Nothing” as president of a
country of 170 million people?
After 100 days, it should now be abundantly clear that Buhari is not qualified to be president of 21st century Nigeria. The president has neither agenda nor direction. His cardinal objective is apparently the prosecution of Northern hegemony. The APC desperately needs to organise an intervention, before Buhari drives the country into the ditch.
How can an ethnic champion be expected to lead Nigeria into the future?
It is time to admit it. Electing Buhari as president was a big national blunder.

PoliticsAn Indepth Look Into Buhari's Asset Declaration By Barcanista by knostbrown01(op): 3:11pm On Sep 06, 2015
Like most people, I slept 'jejely' last night only to
wake-up with tweets and Facebook alerts that the
much awaited public declaration of the President's
asset has been done by Presidential spokesman Alhj Garba Shehu. Same document was posted on his Facebook page. Having looked at the document
shared by Shehu Garba, I couldn't help but laugh at the pure deceit of the document that even defies logic. Let's analyse every item of the document together.

1. WHO VERIFIED SHEHU'S DOCUMENT?
"The documents submitted to the CCB, which officials say are still being vetted and will soon be made public..."
Please take a look at the quote, it send a message
that the so-called document is yet to be verified. This alone is enough to rubbish the claim of President Muhammadu Buhari and Shehu Garbs. But let's continue...

2. THE PRESIDENT'S FINANCIAL ASSETS AND SHARES: FINANCIAL ASSET
"President Buhari had less than N30 million to his
name. He also had only one bank account, with the
Union Bank"For God sake less than N30,000,000 is not a sum.Less than N30,000,000 could be anything from 1kobo to N29.99999Million. They couldn't tell the exact SUM/figure, and also They couldn't provide Nigerians the UNION BANK ACCOUNT number for verification.

This is the acceptable norm as outlined in President Yar'adua and VP Jonathan's 2007 Asset Declaration.
This has defied common sense.

SHARES:
"President Buhari declared however that he had
shares in Berger Paints, Union Bank and Skye Bank." Here we go again. How many unit shares in both Union Bank and First Bank? How do we know whether he's a major or minor shareholder in these banks?

The President and his team should know that
Nigerians need specifics and not generic statements.

3. THE PRESIDENT'S PROPERTIES:HOUSES:
"President Buhari had(has) a total of five homes, and two mud houses in Daura. He had(has) two homes in Kaduna, one each in Kano, Daura and in Abuja. One of the mud houses in Daura was inherited from his late older sister, another from his late father."

The President not only failed to provide address of
his 5 houses in Daura (2), Kaduna (1), Kano (1) and
Abuja (1), he also failed to tell us the worth of these Houses. What is the president trying to hide for God's sake? How do we acknowledge his worth when details of his assets are shrouded in secrecy?

BORROWED MONEY FROM OLD BACLAYS BANK TO
BUILD TWO HOMES
Same old story. Why can't he be specific on which of the homes he built with the old Baclays bank's loan and a back-up transactional details?

UNKNOWN LANDS
"President Buhari also has two undeveloped plots of land, one in Kano and the other in PortHarcourt. He is still trying to trace the location of the Port Harcourt land."
This is a dilemma for me. I mean Buhari declared a landed property in Port Harcourt but don't know the location? Is it that there was no document detailing the transaction or he got this as a 'gift' from Amaechi? Can we please be provided with details of the land in Kano?

4. THE PRESIDENT'S CARS:SOME BOUGHT, SOME GIVEN
"The retired General uses a number of cars, two of which he bought from his savings and the others supplied to him by the federal government in his capacity as former Head of State."

Can the President be specific on the type of cars and the number of Cars that he has? How many were bought and how many were given to him by the Nigeria government? a number of cars can be 2 to infinity. Why can't the President be specific? Can we know the worth of these cars?

SOME FROM DONORS?
"The rest(CARS) were donated to him by well-wishers after his jeep was damaged in a Boko Haram bomb attack on his convoy in July 2014."
How many were "donated" and who were these
donors? Can we know the type and worth of these
donated cars? Why is the president trying to play
smart on our collective intelligence?

5. WHERE ARE HIS LIABILITIES?

6. HERE COMES THE OLD UNKNOWN SOURCE:
“As soon as the CCB is through with the process, the documents will be released to the Nigerian public and people can see for themselves,” the source said. This quote from Shehu clearly shows that he (Shehu)also got it from a "source" and not from his boss. It clearly shows that the document is neither official; as it didn't emanate from Buhari himself nor a verified CCB. This is clearly a loophole for future denial by the President and his APC crew.

THIS DOCUMENT HAS FAILED THE TEST OF LOGIC!
Nigerians ARE NOT FOOLS!
May God Bless Us All
Barcanista
