The case is an arrangement. Gbenga Daniel is their target. They just add Akala and Doma to it so as not to appear as being selective. OBJ is at work. OBJ has been trying to show Nigerians that he is the one in charge not GEJ. Firstly he arranged for the meeting with Boko Haram family to show that he is indispensable in Nigeria.
2. He ordered the arrest of the Journalists and Editors of The Nation for publishing a letter he wrote to GEJ directing a sitting president to dissolve NDDC board in which GEJ obeyed.
3. Now he is proving that he is incharge by arranging the trial of OGD in the manner he was doing during Ribadu. I am not saying OGD is not a thief. I am not saying he shouldn't be tried but the point I am making is that the overbearing influence of OBJ on GEJ is too much.
4. He is the brain behind the return of OKonjo Iweala and the campaign for the removal of subsidy.
GEJ GOVERNMENT IS OBASANJO'S THIRD TERM BY PROXY.

Igbos have conceded presidency to the south south by supporting GEJ. Whether you like it or not GEJ will prefer to handover to a northerner in 2015. The igbos would have used 2011 election to negotiate the igbo presidency but they ignorantly threw it away to support the south south that never support them in their past aspiration. I can assure you, the south south will betray the south east in 2015.

Hope most of you supporting this babaric arrest went to school sha if not Toronto. In journalism, no journalist will publish any letter if he/she is not sure of the source.
Initially when OBJ heard of the letter, he threatened to sue the newspaper. Fine, that is the most civilised response to such case. In order to show to OBJ that they are sure of their story, The Nation published the full text of the letter which is enough evidence for OBJ to file a legal suit against The Nation if it is true that he did not write the letter.
Now the question is why is OBJ not following the court option? Why did he order for the editors arrest instead of suing them?
If it was a petition he wrote to Boko-Haram-feared IGP, why did the police used arrest first instead of inviting the editor for qiuestioning to investigate the source of the letter ?
Did the police get the bench warrant before they descend on the journalist?
See the level of hypocrisy of these semi illiterates on nairaland. One contributor conmdemned Buhari during the election for his clampdown on journalists. Now the same clueless contributor is defending the arrest of these journalists.
MY ADVICE IS THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE INTELLECTUALLY BANKRUPT SHOULD KNOW HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO SENSIBLE ISSUES ON NAIRALAND.

IBB and OBJ called each other fools . Both former rulers ruled Nigeria conveniently for over eighteen years. If these so called fools had ruled Nigerians conveniently and succeesfully for this long, then the people they ruled must be BIG FOOLS because big fools can only be ruled by fools.
Funny enough, Nigerians then confirmed this foolishness by voting PDP back to power after about 12 years of misrule accompanied by poverty, corruption, and undevelopment.
Now another mumu from North is warming up for 2015 under PDP.
I know foolish Nigerians will still vote for him and PDP after this satanic subsidy removal.
WE ARE THE PROBLEM OF OURSELVES.

EFCC under Waziri is only for yahoo and other petty petty financial crimes not for big corrupt cases like those of former governors and Bankole. What do you expect from a person that was a surety to one accused governor heading EFCC?

What is the essence of sim card registration?
This plan is already dead on arrival because those formulating it will be the ones to block it because it will expose all their shaddy deals most especially during election dispute in court.

Beef voted for Jonathan not PDP but PDP is ruling.
Why putting the cart before the horse?
I expected your clueless GEJ to first end the importation of fuel before removing the subsidy. Remember Obasanjo deceived us so many times increasing fuel price claiming that the money would be used for road improvement but today our roads are still as bad as those of the war zones. Instead it made Tony Anenih and co more richer.
So, OBJ and IBB called themselves fools, then those people they ruled are also big fools. That is why you see some people supporting them blindly on this forum.

I feel worried when some idiots start abusing Islam for the barbaric acts of some devil minded people called themselves muslims in the name of Boko Haram. You that posted abusive words against muslims is no difference from Boko Haram in terms of your level of thinking and ideology. For the upteenth time, most Islamic scholars have condemned the foolishness of Boko Haram in all ramifications. What Boko Haram is doing is even totally against the teaching of Quran and Islam. Quran 4 verse 29 and 30 clearly condemn suicide under any condition. Verse 30 even decree it that any muslim that involves in suicide act will be condemned to hell fire. Allah also advice we muslims not to force our faith and laws on others. No compulsion in religion. Read Quran 109 verse 1 to 6.

Where has agitation for resource control gone?.
Taken over by GEJ Presidency. Ha ha ha ha ha,

I pledge to USA my country
To be faithful loyal and honest
To serve Nigeria is not by force
T o defend her unity is not my business
So help me get visa lottery.
Amen

I pledge to USA my country

I will pray to God to help us eliminate all these useless rulers called our leaders and their families. Or in alternative to hasten Nigeria disintegration.

Any wishes of hope for Nigeria is an hallucination. Is better for Nigeria to break up.

Revolution

Nothing to celebrate in Nigeria except corruption.

Sentiment apart, this what we are telling GEJ. Before he remove fuel subsidy that will raise the transportation cost, he should first of all solve the infrastructural problem like building and encouraging state governments to build the same. In countries where they are using this light rail, the fuel price is not their concern. If you like make petrol five hundred naira per litre, common man will not feel it because rail is there to take and there is constant elecricity in which my "I better pass my neighbour" would have be given an indefinite holiday."I better pass my neighbour" would have be given an indefinite holiday.

If people critisize you, they want you to succeed. If somebody does not critisize you, you wont sit up.
Those people praising GEJ out of tribal and religious sentiments are the number one enemy of Jonathan. They are sycophants, people like Mr fix it, this is how they started. Mark those people like like "horny4u" on nairaland, those are the people that can bahave like "Mr Fix it" and co when they get to the corridor of power. They praise you above the sky when they know you are not doing well. Even if they see stain on your cloth, instead to tell you, they will say "na design".
Those are the people like Daniel Kanu that organised a sponsored one million march that Abacha was the best leader in Africa and he is now in PDP. Majority of those in PDP that were conniving with Turai Yar Adua cabal to deny GEJ right to succeed Yar Adua are now his best friends while those who organised rallies and protests in Lagos, Ibadan and Abuja in support of Jonathan then to be made the acting president are now the noise makers and the critics.
HA! AYE KOOO TO

Has GEJ declared his asset?
GEJ never disclose his asset since he was the Bayelse Deputy Governor. Obasanjo did not even return the asset declaration form to CCB up till now. That is why OBJ never set up a serious CCB panel when he was there.
Well, it is good to try Tinubu on Asset Declaration at CCB so that it can form a precedence to try others including GEJ. One day GEJ will leave office and immunity will be over, then he will also be tried at CCB. Tinubu's offence is a child's compare to others in PDP.

Is he excusing himself from one of the elite
This guy is just unrepentant!!!!

Yes, elites have their own share of the blame but the lion share of it should go to him who forcefully truncated a democracy and gave opportunity to the likes of IBB and Abacha to further corrupt the elites.

Your Reply
was there no crruption during Shagari's reime?
What there no corruption in the first republic? Although very minimal. Go and read "WHY WE STRUCK", insight of the first military coup.
Now Abacha and IBB are no more in government,
has the corruption stopped?
The fact is those civilian you are talking about they truncated are also the appologists of the military. Some of them served in the military regime. Majority of those who ruled with Abacha and IBB are the ones holding political offices now. Nothing has changed.
My advice to you Buhari haters is that if you want to be a well informed person, dont look at the messanger, rather look at the message. If our political elites should for onece see themselve as the bane of Nigeria development, then it better for us.

Our president said he cannot rush into taking action on some national issues but he could rush into appointing the acting President of Court of Appeal against the public outcry.
He said some politicians are behind the socioeconomic and insecurity problems but he did not want to mention their names. That means GEJ knows the sponsors of Boko Haram but they are untouchable. "Playing politics with national security".
This speech is no presidential at all.
Those on nairand celebrating mediocrisy and failure of GEJ government based on ethnic and religion sentiments, we are all in Nigeria.
"if heaven will fall, it will fall on everybody".

GEJ is being economical with the truth. 419ers are not the problem of investors. Our government officials that wine and dine with corruption are the problem.
Whemn these Oyinbos come to Nigeria to do business, our government official will ask for bribe ( seimens, wibros, harlibuton, sagem scandals are still fresh in memory). If they give the bribe, they will be prosecuted in their home country for financial crime overseas ( Jefferson is in prison now in US while Atiku is a free man in Nigeria). And if they refuse to give the bribe, their business plan will be frustrated.

Yorubas are more tactical and calculated in Nigeria, sentiment apart. Look at the issue June 12, Hausas wanted to fight war after moving all the Nigeria weapons to the north but with diplomacy and tactics, they got the presidency in 1999. The northern oligarchy knows quite well that the only region that if they sing the song of seccesion in Nigeria, the countryis going to anend is Yoruba. That is why they agreed that power should come to south. The same tactic and calculation brought a south south man to aso rock now unlesss the Niger Delta people want to be ungrateful to Yoruba. Obasanjo knew that Yar Adua was battling with a terminal disease, he brought him out putting GEJ beside him incase, And we saw what happened.
LET THE BOKO HARAM TAKE THEIR MADNESS TO SOUTH WEST, THEN WE WILL ASSIST THEM TO DIVIDE NIGERIA AFTERALL AMERICA HAS PREDICTED IT IN 2015. out putting GEJ beside him incase, And we saw what happened.
LET THE BOKO HARAM TAKE THEIR MADNESS TO SOUTH WEST, THEN WE WILL ASSIST THEM TO DIVIDE NIGERIA AFTERALL AMERICA HAS PREDICTED IT IN 2015.

Those attacking El-Rufai are south south cronies. They will always stand against any critism against GEJ because he is their man.
You see somebo wrote that if we he would say this if northerner was in power not reading the thread that Yar-Adua was also indicted in his speech. Let say El-Rufai was part of the rot, if his head is now correct, then is a sign of hope. What about those who had been the source of the rot from 1960 and they never repent that to be patriotic one day. They shaa want to milk Nigeria die before they go. If we have just 60% of Nigerian politicians having their head correct now like that of El-Rufai that was lost before but now get his head correct, I swear with God, Nigeria will be better within four years.
Nigeria! Nigerian!! Nigeria!!!
When are we going to leave tribal and ethnic sentiments when contributing to national issues. My brother from Niger Delta that want to die for GEJ, has your man sponsored any "resource control" bill to the national assembly?
Yeyenatu, all of them are the same. He may even decide not to back to Bayelsa again after leaving office.

I have said it several times that most contributors on nairaland are daft. You comments on this issue is either because you are not well informed or you just like going against anything related to Tinubu because of your romance with PDP.
Now this if anybody will critisize Ajimobi on this issue, it shouldn't be Akala. I am from Oyo State and I know what I am saying. When Akala was in office, Fridays were party day in the state secretariat with the NURTW. When a building collapse in Ibadan killing three, Akala was in a party doing faaji and he did not leave that party until night. This is a man that was part of the PDP governors that attended Bode George thanks giving when he caqme out of prison. The day the Supreme Court gave the judgement in Yar Adua and Buhari/Atiku's case, Akala left Ibadan with all his cabinet members together with 67 buses of NURTW to attend the court session. Last year when Patience Jonathan did the birthday, this same Akala left Ibadan with 24 buses of NURTW to Abuja.
This same Akala is now saying trash and the semi-illiterates like him on nairaland are supporting him.

See a big fool "TINUBU IS GUILTY AS CHARGED".
Are you the judge?
An accused is presumed innocent until when found guilty by a court.
The hatred you have for Tinubu has even turned you to an intellectual slowpoke.
Because of daft like you we are advocating that police should not parade a robbery suspect until the person is convicted.
Look at this case, a pastor was mistaken for a robbery suspect and he was paraded. It was later the court discharged and acquinted him after the church congreation has deserted the church. What I am saying is that anybody that concluded during tje trial of this man that he was an armed robber has commited a sin against him and God.
So Mr Nairaland Chief Judge, watch your tongue.

Your GEJ is playing a game that will consume him. Tinubu's case is a small case to his own. He never declared his asset from Bayelsa to Aso Rock. He is allowing the politicians in the PDP to push him. What goes around will surely come around to him. Write it down. Instead of the man to sit down and ignore the noises including that of opposition and face the government business, he is busy working on the script prepared to him by PDP hawks from judociary to opposition. When Fashola started in Lagos, opposition including Jimi Agbaje were critisizing him. The man did not look at their side, it was Jimi Agbaje that first commended him for his work and his work campaign for him to win second term. If GEJ faces his business and deliver, PDP doesn't need to rig election, their work will campaign for him. Those PDP hawks that lost election in the southwest and now pushing GEJ to deal with Tinubu because he made them loose election, did they perform in office? I dont know why Alao Akala will blame Tinubu for his failure. What about a governor that executed a project of N20 million and then spent N95million to commission it. He increased tuition fees three times in office aqnd he is complaining to GEJ that Tinubu is the PDP problem in the southwest.
They said the man operated a foreign account but fail to tell us or show us the statement or balance to know if he actually run the account because I reliably gathered that those accounts were opened before he became governor. When they knew there was no concrete evidence to nail this man, they hurriedly ammended the charge to false declaration. That is why the tribunal adjourned the case because there is a matter of juridiction here.
In a nutshel, GEJ should not allow these PDP hawks to push him. These were the people pushing Abacha to be misbehaving because Abacha I knew was before a nice and cool headed man but when these hawks who now form the majority of PDP stalwarts misled him, he fumbled and these people later came around calling Abacha a maximum dictactor. I am sure if power goes back to the north later, these people will collude with IBB, Atiku etc and you will see they will start calling Jonathan anti north or somebody who betrayed the north. They may even call him anti zoning.
A word is enough for the wise

I dont know why people compare Nigeria with US and UK when it comes to the issue of petroleum deregulation. An average briton and american do not know when the fuel price goes up or down since their transportation system does not depend on petrol or deisel. Trains are there that is very cheap. Elecricity is stable, no headache of fuel for my "i better pass my neighbour". They use gas and elecricity for cooking. Manufacturing sector does not depend on fuel for power. But in Nigeria, all our economic life revolves round the fuel and any slight change in price of fuel in Nigeria will surely take a toll on every areas of the economy.
Pls leave theory you read inside book for your children at home, we all know the theory. Abi we sha go to school.
In UK and US, no matter the tuition fees, that one is not a problem, study loan is there for you but in Nigeria, even bursary award, government will not pay.
Government will give scholarship, the money will be given to the children of big men. When Obasanjo was giving out federal government scholarship, there was a guy that used to sell his blood to the hospital to pay the school fees, the guy applied, he was not given but his classmate who has a uncle in the federal ministry of education got the money and she used part of the money to buy rechearge card and the remaining for birthday.
So comparing Nigeria with US, UK and others, KO JO ARA WON RARA.king. Manufacturing sector does not depend on fuel for power. But in Nigeria, all our economic life revolves round the fuel and any slight change in price of fuel in Nigeria will surely take a toll on every areas of the economy.

Quota system is nothing but a trash. When I was serving in north as a teacher, one of my students in SS1 was playing truancy and I took time to sit him down in my staffroom trying to counsel him on how to take his study seriously. When I said that in Nigeria today, if you dont have proper education, you are nobody. The guy called Seidu Tukur took me on and said "Oga, dont deceive yourself, if you like let your people from south go get proffessor and I get schl cert from north, na the same place we go work.
That is the orientation our northern brothers have.
BOKO HARAM!

@ werepeleri
This is not the issue of being pessimistic or been a dooms prophet. Nigerians dont believe their leaders any longer because of their antecedents. Unless you dont want to be objective, politicians in Nigeria believe in political gimmicks than factual and realistic analysis. I remember when Obasanjo went to commission Papalanto power station, he said power generation had risen to something above 5000 MW with darkness everywhere. They will tell you that so so billions has been budgetted for massive road construction but to see our roads remain death trap as usual.
Pls dont blame anybody that raises question about the reality of figures giving to us.
Let me give you another one, when OBJ increase fuel price, he said that i dont know why people are saying they cannot pay N90 per litre if they can be buying ragolis or eva water that is not up to a litre N100. The question is "how many nigerians buy bottle water to eat every meal"? I dont blame him, he based his assumption on the figures the sycophants like those on nairaland were giving him.s been budgetted for massive road construction but to see our roads remain death trap as usual.

Secondary school students in America are far better than some graduates on this nairaland. When your government tells you anything, as an intelectual, you have to verify the reality of the paper acheivements they are giving with what is on ground having known our government in Nigeria for brandishing figures that you cannot see. Clapping for GEJ on this is like dancing round the street for hearing that $16 billion has been budgetted for power supply that power will soon be stable. I read it on New York Times sometimes ago how secondary school students were analysing and criticising budget. But in Nigeria, the semi illiterates that call themselves graduates will continue clapping when they know that the government is telling lies. The problem with our politicians in Nigeria is that they dont know the difference between matter of national urgency/seriousness and political gimmicks. The Education minister told us last year that the standard of education had risen by 37% but the mass failure in WAEC and NECO get worsens every year and i know the sombis on this nairaland will clap when they hear this figure from the education minister.
WHO IS DECEIVING WHO?
That is why when our past leaders were calling themselves fools, somebody said that those people they ruled are also fools.
FOOLS WILL ALWAYS BE RULED BY BIG FOOLS.tes that call themselves graduates will continue clapping when they know that the government is telling lies.

Some people on this nairaland are intellectual morons. They only published the account numbers without letting us know the balance in the accounts. They ought to have published the account statements so that we will know if he was running the account while in office.
I learnt that these accounts were opened before he became governor.
