The statement from premiumtimes that Jonathan never declared his assets is false.

In fact, he did it better, far above the nonsense Buhari narrated (instead of comprehensive declaration) through his media assistant. If this wasn't detail enough, then forget it?

Vice President Jonathan Bows To Pressure, Declares N0.2Billion In Assets

VP Goodluck Jonathan 
The Vice president Goodluck Jonathan yesterday capitulated to public pressure over the public declaration of his assets as done by his boss, President Umaru Yaradua as he made public his assets declaration to the Code of Conduct Bureau.

The assets which were made public by the senior Special Assistant to the Vice president on Media and Public Affairs, Ima Niboro indicates that the value of the Vice president total assets and cash in banks stands at N295,304,420.

This is about N561, 148,472 less than the assets declare by President Umaru Yar’Adua who declared his total assets to be at the value of N856,452,892.

Mr. Iniboro said the vice president’s decision to make public his assets declaration was to show that ‘there is nothing to hide’.

He added that the vice president is ‘a firm believer in the rule of law and this has guided his conduct in office through the years.

“It is this belief that also guided his position that having declared his assets for a total of seven times, there was no point in going further to publish the declaration” he noted

The vice president’s aide regretted that the position of the vice president not to make public his assets declaration had ‘generated an unfortunate storm, which is not only distractive but also quite unnecessary. We are worried that some newspapers and citizens we hold in high esteem have joined the fray.

“This merely shows that in the affairs of man, there comes a time when even the law must take a second place and the public mood must define our actions. To The Vice president, this is such a time, hence the choice to send you a copy of his declaration for publication” he said.



In the assets declaration made public yesterday, it indicated that the vice president submitted his assets declaration before Justice Muktar Dodo of the Abuja high court on 30th May 2007, a day after the oath of office and oath of allegiance was administered on him.

A break down of the assets of the vice president indicates that he has four buildings located in Yenegoa, Abuja and his home town in Ogbia, Bayelsa state.

The Vice president said he owns a five bedroom Duplex in Gwarimpa 11, Abuja which was acquired in 2003 through loan and is valued at N24,990,000 while another Seven Bedroom Duplex, which he described as Village personal Home is located at Otuoke in Ogbia Local government area of Bayelsa state. It is valued at the cost of N18,000, 000 and was acquired through ‘savings and gifts in Kind.

The last of the Vice president’s residential buildings are the Four bedroom Duplex acquired in 2003 through ‘savings and gift in Kind’ in the Kpansia area of Yenegoa. The value of the building, he said is N15,000,000. The last Building is the extended Family house in Yenegoa which he said is a four flat storey Building acquired between 2003 and 2007 through savings. The value of the property is put at N10,000,000.

Godfullsam:
Who told you she divorced her husband ? Don't say what youndont know pls..
She embarked on second honeymoon to celebrate her wedding anniversary.

Thanks for the clarification.
I use to cite her as a role model to would be actresses.

Second honeymoon?

Patience Jonathan and her selfish interest.


Thank goodness Fashola/Osinbajo has gotten this one right.


Now we have one good story to tell about this government.

Regulation of Religious Preaching Edict No. 7 of 1984 and the Regulation of Religious Preaching (Amendment) Edicts No. 1 of 1987 and No. 6 of 1996 respectively, which according to him, are the precursors to the 2016 bill.


We are in a democracy and not in a military dictatorship

When Government fights capitalists unprepared, expect the system to collapse. Giving NNPC 78% Refined crude import quota was absurd.

For once, Nigerians should appreciate IPMAN and Importers collaboration with the Government in serving Nigerians better.

Tell Buhari that Capitalism doesn't equate to corruption. Let him learn to travel with our captains of industries and business class to allow them connect with interested foreign investors

Buhari self.

Hardship is biting so much that giving "Charity" to the hungry and the motherless is not easily affordable notwithstanding the recommendations from holy books.

Ebonyi State can't be poor after generating the highest IGR in South East in the past 4 years.

GoodMuyis:
Have you ever once ask, That Iran that is the HQ of Shiite.
How many church existed there, or were you allow to build one

And you will tell me shiites tolerated other religion

There are many churches and synagogues in Iran while there is non in Saudi Arabia.

Iran - Shia
Saudi Arabia - Sunni/Wahabbi/Salafist

muhamadnur:
hey dumbas$ stop shouting on nairaland, why is it that sunni islam has 90% of the islamic world, the simple truth is that it is the true path, why did islam almost surpast christianity even though it came 500years later it is becoz its the truth, shias favour their clerics more than anything else, while sunni only follow the messenger and god, and islam is the true religion from god, while christianity is now what i would call the inteprated and human interest group.

Is this what they taught you in mosque?

Catholic Church alone has slightly lesser members compared to all Islamic Sects (all Muslims in the world) combined.

The topic of discussion is. How intolerable Sunni/Wahabbi/Salafist brand of Islam has become. Why do they feel threatened that they always resort to violence and promulgation of unfair laws to strive?

Think about this for a moment.

If US, UK, France and Germany can allow Shiites to observe their religious rites and to perform their procession why can't Nigeria Sunni lead country Nigeria?


Shia Islam is by far preferable to Sunni/Wahabbi/Salafist Islam any day, any time.

This world is ruled by capitalists.

Wants to succeed? Learn the game and play with discretion.

It's not a matter of challenge but wisdom.

Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi should tell Aragbesola and Osun State to pay back Rivers State loan they collected for Workers salary arrears during his second term campaign that propagated his second term victory.

Amaechi had the money to complete the project but chose to abandon it in preference to sponsoring Buhari's presidency by matching Atiku's $ (dollars) with Rivers State's $ (dollars) down to spending Rivers State fortunes to see the retired General become the President.

What a shame. Such a laudable project deserves no abandonment.

I wish oil price appreciates to enable Gov. Wike to complete the project in his first term or latest, in his second term.

Were this to be the other way round, Israelites would have captioned it: see the epic response a Nigerian gave Abike Dabiri.

I think she shouldn't have hit him in that manner though.

I thought you were English teacher?

Implementation of TSA and rigidity of procedures makes accessibility of funds required to service utility bills more difficult hence the huge debt.

Finance ministry should provide imprest for MDAs to service their monthly debts and responsibilities.

Is KOWA a party? Is it just being propagated based on ethnic solidarity?

What local government or state is controlled by KOWA?

Talk better thing.


Why not Labour, APGA or Accord Party?

Laugh wan kill me after I read "Promised to change his ways"


We want to know those things we was doing wrong he promised to change for reference purposes.

The terms of this resolutions are worst than article of colonization.

Federal Government should do this and that?


I resolve that Federal Government should pay complete cost incurred by Traders in event of any burnt market in Nigeria for National Peace.

James the brother of Jesus headed the church council in Jerusalem and not James the less.

my sister help me ask those sai babarians ooh, they keep throwing mud at smooth walls with the hope that it sticks, bunch of zombified babarians

The double standard is what baffles me not that I am interested in defending anyone again.

They accused her of inflating the contract sum when she wasn't the DG of NCAA that was responsible for the purchasing procedures and at the same time, they are excusing Fashola for an offense (borehole contract inflation) similar or heavier than hers.

I don't understand the inconsistencies.

sammyj:
Madam keep sh*t. Was this not thesame way you denied the BMW Odua gate scandal. Madam do the needful and refund our money to the treasuery !!!

What denial?

Was the BMW not bought?

NOETHNICITY:
Whether u like it or not, u re gradually and subconsciously gravitating and tilting toward becoming a full blown IPOD! I knw u re more intelligent than most of d ideas u postulate in ur post! These are all in d name of patronising the ibos! What a shame

And congratulations for disliking anyone who tries to be in peace with the Igbos.

You think all IPOBs are nonentity? Demanding to determine our future is no crime.

Beremx:
about what? calling Nigeria a zoo? If indeed Nigeria is a zoo,then we are all animals including the op and you.

Who do you refer to as the "we" used in your comment? IPOB, or the "occupation army" and "their supporters"

@ Rossikk

Are you are referring to "low-end" women and women of "easy-virtue"?

You mean a man will kick me out in the mansion I built by my sweat because he is no longer satisfied with our marriage?

Bros, na Mgbeke dey ask for equality not self-made, innovative and morally sound ladies like Ladyexcellency.

Men bow before "women of great virtue" hence we are not perturbed nor are we begging for crumbs from men in the name of doing us a favour.

Sealeddeal:
See the people Obiano is spending our money on.Propagandists.
Bond ko, Curse ni.

$60 million is just N12 billion


Go and check Lagos State bond bought by Anambra State.

Sealeddeal:
$60.7million owed by Anambra as against about $30million previously owed. Obiano and his band of propagandist owe us explanations. I have been saying that that drunkard is ruining Anambra state

It was used in buying Lagos State bonds.


Are you now satisfied?

Dyt:
What do I know
Or what would I know
Only those involve will know better

Its a good thing they are back since divorce is the least of options
Wishing them a good life together
And ofcus you too madam Ladyexcellency

Is like there is a little misunderstanding between what I said and what you understand.

I said "last" option and not "least" option meaning when every step for (terms of) reconciliation fails.

Dyt:
Really? Until the beating brings in death or disability Ehn Iyen na da

Can you give the statistics as regarding the death and disability.

No Ethnicity deserves to share the same country with Fulani herdsmen who value their cows than human lives and source of livelihoods.


Herdsmen should stop roaming the streets and farms, they should buy grasses to feed their cows.

If shepherds are not roaming the country looking for free food for their flocks then why can't herdsmen be made to pay suppliers for cattle's feed.

Their is an opportunity to create employment for teeming youth who would engage in supplying hays to herdsmen at the right price.

Dyt:
I hope the kids don't take after daddy's animalistic nature

Otunrerin

God knows I can't stay sha
Me that my mouth always driving
He go kee me before I know

In our part of the world, separation is rare while divorce is the last option when all entreaties and mediations fail because of serial broken promises against the terms of peace resolution.

Jeffboi:
/Sai Buahri... Your security…he cannot guarantee. Your freedom…he wants to steal. Your rights…he wants to limit. Your lives…he cannot protect. Your future…he wants to ruin. Are you still sai-ing rubbish? You must be victims of in-sai-nity /

A great poetic work you just did.

Bravo
