bonechamberlain:
this is a tactical plan by APC to silence any perceived powerful opposition against its policies and govt. I don't see why only a particular political party members are being investigated and harassed for an Utopian corruption charges. the day of reckoning is coming.

Are you suggesting that APC members ought to also be arrested for laundered campaign funds shared for PDP presidential campaign?

donogaga:
The Niger Delta crisis is a serious matter that requires serious policy and committed and courageous leadership to resolve.


The Niger Delta has been complaining about environmental
damage from oil exploration and rising unemployment and poverty in the region, but the successive governments and the multi-national oil corporations have been insensitive to the plight of the people. The people have endured a long history ofeconomic and social injustice and they are now “tired of being at the bottom.”

I don't support the activities of the militants, but the truth is that, we the people of Niger Delta have been suffering from
environmental degradation and pollution through oil spillage and gas flaring. There are many other “Tales of Agony” strewn the landscape that I do not deem necessary to drop here.

The crisis in the Niger Delta is not complex by itself. But the approach to resolving it makes it complex and dangerous. Thepeople are not asking for anything out of the ordinary. The region that is home to Nigeria’s oil wealth remains the mostimpoverished community in the nation. What a paradox! Travel down to the communities and you will notice the lack of basic infrastructure, good network of roads, health care facilities, good schools and portable water etc.


The oil wealth is not being used to develop the area. The successive governments have collected billions of dollars from the land over the decades, but little (if any) has been invested in the area to improve the people’s living conditions. Is there anything wrong in investing some money that are realized from the oil extracted from the region to improve the people’s living conditions?

The main causes of Niger Delta crisis include greed and selfishness, deprivation and poverty, and “social injustice.” Thesimple meaning of social justice, according to experts, is that the same contribution equals the same benefit. A person’s“benefit" equals his or her “contribution.” And no community should be given more when it contributes less or be given less when it contributes more!

That is the crux of the matter in the Niger Delta crisis! The Niger Delta is contributing a lot to the economic well being of Nigeria and it is getting nothing, but destruction, in return. Without social justice there will be no peace in the Niger Delta and socioeconomic development will continue to elude the region. Social justice is an important ingredient for “socioeconomic development.” It creates “a healthy, harmonious, reliable social psychological atmosphere that willstimulate economic development.” And because of social injustice the entire nation is slowly becoming politically and
economically very unstable.

God bless Nigeria!!!

You guys should address your matter to (1) The ministry of Niger delta (2) The NDDC (3) Your governors that collect 13% derivation. All these interventionist schemes have been in operation since the return of democracy; all operated by Niger deltans and in Niger delta. Trillions have been sunk in ND by successive governments, yet you are here ranting. Who are you blaming please?

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID NOT REMOVE SUBSIDY BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUBSIDY AT #86.5 PUMP PRICE OF FUEL

Before you go to protest against the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government, be informed that the government did not remove any subsidy because there was no subsidy to be removed in the first place! So don't go and protest against what does not exist. Seek information and be informed.

This is what the government has done. The government has simply stopped giving foreign exchange to fuel importers and has asked them to source for foreign exchange through secondary sources.
Why has the pump price of fuel increased from #86.5 to between #135 and #145? This is specifically as a result of the difrence between the official exchange rate and the informal (parallel) market exchange rate. This is the simple mathematics.
The official exchange rate is #199 per dollar while the parallel market exchange rate is #320 per dollar. This represents and increase of 37% (320-199/320 × 100 = 37.8%). This reflected exactly in the new price of petrol as it increased from #86.5 to an averag of #140 which is an increase of 38% (140 - 86.5/140 ×100 = 38%).

There may be a gap in the dissemination of information to the public and it is totally regrettable and I am sure it will be taken care of, but I encourage Nigeians to seek the right information.
I have always insisted that there was nothing like fuel subsidy and I stand by that. The Federal government cannot continue to be the sole source of foreign exchange for the importation of fuel in the face of falling price of crude resulting in the depletion of our foreign reserve. It unsustainable and cannot satisfy the domestic consumption of fuel in Nigeria.

Nigeria gets foreign currency from the sell of crude and the price of crude has fallen by over 70%. This means that the government no long has enough dollars to give to fuel importers. A lame man shoud be able to understand this.

With the competition that will set in from the open market, it s expected that the pump price of fuel will naturally crash in time.

Please share and enlighten every Nigerian.

Thanks Jasper. White enlightening.

NigeriaKitchen:
Sanusi is indirectly telling Igbos and Niger Deltans that division of Nigeria is not the solution to their problem...that Igbos, Niger Deltans and Yorubas are major contributors to the corruption and decay that has destroyed Nigeria till date....he then reminded us again that even Britain that Igbos think love northerners, never loved northern Nigerians....that Britain even had a secret documented plan that forbids the education of northern Nigerian Muslims so that they won't become enlightened like their Egyptian and Moroccan Muslim counterparts, which is the reason why we have plenty Almajiri and uneducated northern Muslim youths

Which is the reason why you have plenty Alamajiri and uneducated northern Muslim youths 56 years after independence? It is more credible to say that the British placed a curse of illiteracy on them than this balderdash.

Ekweremadu will dare not. Whomsoever will covet the SP position without the Party's say-so, will also put himself on the firing line like Saraki. All of them are guilty of false assets declaration one time or the other. CCB will not have to look far to establish that.

Neplusultra:
For him to say this goes to shows the magnitude of Amaechi's corruption and the same time turning all attention on Buhari to see how sincere he is any fighting corruption.

This is a no-brainer. Let him package his finding and petition EFCC to arrest and probe Amechi. That is how sound-minded people behave.

IceMan85:

I lost interest when I saw this



Imagine someone asked why Gtb refused to pay Innoson from NCS account as ordered by a high court thereby calling it a disobedience of court order by Gtb as if the bank doesn't have a right to appeal at both the court of Appeal and Supreme court.

The sue case will not stand until the supreme court hears the two appeals made by Gtb. I ask again, why is Innoson jittery when the court is yet to decide ? A federal high court ordering Gtb to pay doesn't mean it can't approach the court of Appeal and Supreme court for an appeal.

Bros, you are confused. If you do not understand how the ganishee order works, why not read comments from those that know and comment from position of knowledge; if you must make comments.

drtwist:
one thing is to sponsor a bill, the other is for the bill to be passed into law and finally for it to be implemented.
Most law in nigeria are only made on paper not implemented. since the passing of anti Same sex marriage law, how many people have they arrested ? with the number of gays and lesbians increasing on daily basis even to the extend of practising it public .

Go to our University, u will understand what I'm talking about

Pls can you tell us what goes on in our universities. Am interested.

This is the same lady that.posted this link about same husband.on May 12.

Peruse through peoples comments. Indeed, the OP has a very low self esteem and is living for the unappreciating husband.

If you do not work on yourself, you will continue to come here monthly to report your husband.

Opposition should be wary of fully dissipating their energy on trivial issue and thereby earn reputation of a nuisance so early in the life of this administration.
This will help them retain the public attention for the 4 long years journey.
This is because solid issues that require their critique will come up in the future and they might no longer be taken serious then.

babasanti:
This people want niger delta militants to set nigeria on fire. We are calm but soon , I repeat soon . Lightning will strike twice @ d sme place. The difference this time is we have a great ally in the people of south east

Southeast can never be your ally. Return our fathers' properties your fathers seized after the war first, then we can talk.

Some of my brothers have such a short memory for not realising the true enemy of the Igbo when they insisted on dying politically with Jonathan, whose people we do not have any historical relationship with.

AbuuUsaamah:
This is the type of news I love; the type that really hits the infidels. Infidels be like: another one again? *develops HBP*

By the will and grace of Allah, this will be her last religion; the same way it was for Cat Stevens and Loon, aka Chauncey Lamont Hawkins.

By Allah, this religion shall spread to all corners of the world in spite of those that want to destroy it, both inside it and outside it- haters keep hating.


They want to extinguish the light of Allah, and Allah will perfect and complete His light, even tho the infidels hate that.
[Surah 51, verse 8]

Perfect to allow Allah do his thing himself than muslims killing and forcing conversion to islam in the name of Allah as if he is lame.

HungerBAD:
I am from the South/South and was born and bred in the West.

No Yoruba person has ever tried to Cheat/Con/Scam me all my life, but anytime I come across an Ibo Man they are always looking for ways to play a fast one on you.

One just tried to sale me a fake property here on Nairaland(more on that later)STAY CLEAR OF ANY IBO MAN ON NAIRALAND PROPERTY SECTION.

The OP got it wrong when he mentioned the Yoruba's only, as the rightful topic should have been WHY DO NIGERIAN'S DISTRUST THE IBO PEOPLE TOO MUCH? and the answer lies within the ibo's themselves. They should look inward and TRY to look and embrace the definition of HONESTY HONESTY HONESTY.

You cannot give a THIEF your money to keep for you and that is why an IBO MAN will never be the President of a ONE NIGERIA, they are criminals and that includes their preachers.

I will take sides with the Yoruba's and Hausa's any day against the IBO'S as I don't see myself associating with Ritualists, thieves, illiterates, petty traders and very dishonest bunch. The Reason the Ibo's lost the Civil war was that the South refused to side with them, as they had eyes for OUR OIL ALONE, just imagine all the Southern OIL controlled by one or two illiterates from Nnewi. That would have been painful.

I will bash the IBO RACE online, I will Bash the IBO RACE in person.

JUST ONE IS ALL I ASK OF, JUST SHOW ME ONE HONEST PERSON FROM THE EASTERN PART OF NIGERIA.

Is it not an insult that you cannot even find ONE honest person in a tribe?

Ibos and your convict-brothers like Ibori, Igbinedion and Alams, who is the bigger theif?

swezenberg:
Why not celebrate the feat without inciting negative comments. I read the story because it is now happening in the East and not only in the Southwest who have dominated the headlines for several years but disappointed to see some inciting comments here. It is childish and shows it is new to some people. Some have won thsee for decades without these kind of comments. I remember a girl from Southwest who is a friend and now in Canada won it during my set. So what's the big deal.

Grow up people.

I get am before na property ni?

Beync:
Dear forget those nonentities o, their educational standard is nothing to write home about. The so-called profs there cannot compete with a masters degree holder here. When you meet with one prof here, you are sure of a whole body of knowledge with wealth of experiences. saying from experience

True. That Professor that served as returning officer for Rivers State during the presidential election comes from that state.

See confusion o. Women world over are fighting for equality and they are winning. Who will now "act" the bigger person as you suggested?

etochi11:
did ur dad beat ur mom like dt Idiot,, when will we guys learn dt beating ur wife/gf reduces d love she has for u?? Onye ara!!

In other words, the OP must have been beating his wife because the love she has for him seems to be reducing.
OP please use every means possible to stamp your authority in your home. Wives unwittingly contest with men for authority in new marriages.
Please do not lose this contest on no account, because NA SO E GO.BE TILL.DEATH. It is not a pleasant experience to be controlled by a woman.

Talking from experience.

pendicle:
What problem do I have if he is even your mother's concubine? Is it not obvious you're cursed and punished like your famed hero.

A disgraced and well beaten hero is a cursed and shamed one and it is clear every male child in your paternal lineage SHALL AND ARE CURSED AND PUNISHED.

Tell your mother I am in that same hotel she came last week.

Bro, all.these attacks are uncalled for. Haba!

Billyonaire:
Goodluck did a great job. He has presented to Nigerians the Power to vote and make their votes count. He has presented to Nigerians the FOI Bill, we have the rights to express our grudges in words and even insult these goons in government houses. Jonathan got the tracks laid, the trains moving and the masses transported. Our roads are now better, our airports are now better and Enugu is now Akani Biam(ed), our SS/SE are "lifting off" from Enugu and "landing" without having to kiss Lagos road before jetting out.

Jonathan made history, when he made that call to concede defeat in an election which was clearly rigged. Above all, Jonathan Dismantled the Oligarchs of PDP and present to Nigeria a strong 2 party state. APC must as a matter of necessity, issue GEJ an award for this feat. OBJ crused oppositions, but today he is shamelessly frolicking with Tinubu, a man he nearly destroyed. Jonathan allowed opposition to thrive to present Nigerians with an option. History will be Jonathan's friend.

Jonathan remains, Nigeria's Jerry Rawlings. We must worship Jonathan as a god of Nigerian Politics.

GEJ did not have any other choice. He does not have the complex personality (soundness of mind, etc) required to do otherwise.

The have already seen Buhari's? CERTIFICATE of returns. Abi no be certificate ni?

babesife:
the way you Nigerian people think is so damn bad. Do you think that it is only women that have a child or children out of wedlock go through theses these things? Some of you are so uneducated to the facts and the truth that it hurts me. My God I can't believe you said thAT and you are a female just like her your time will come soon!!!

Please leave we "backward" Nigerians alone and mind your dissolute western life. We have cultures we hold dear to that add dignity to our lives. Huh?

Volksfuhrer:
Empty reasoning! Perhaps God asked him not to "derobe!"

In any case, I still choose to believe a priest over EFCC officials!

Why are they sidelining the CAN President na? This is marginalisation ooo.

FLYFIRE:
20 reasons why Nigerians have rejected Buhari since 2003
For the Career Buharists, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) is the “messiah”. Any attempt to set the records straight by highlighting the dark days of Buhari is viewed by these people as being paranoid. They would ask you, who is scared of Buhari if not corrupt people? In the real sense of it, I don't think anyone (including a kid from my home town) is scared of Buhari. Some of us that talk about him do so to establish the facts because he has been living on image-laundered life. Within these few days, lots of people have seen that Buhari didn't build any refinery for Nigeria. He has no legacy despite ruling the country with iron-fist for almost 2 years. He is indeed corrupt as shown by this article and again, no Igbo have worked or working for Buhari, neither did any Igbo marry his daughter. These are the laundered image he has been living on for a long time now.
Facts are sacred, but not to the Career Buharists . To them, Buhari is God's 'gift' to mankind and the most popular politician that can solve our numerous problems in a jiffy. Behind these accolades from his admires, is a man that has lost presidential elections three times consecutively. In 2003, over 24 million Nigerian rejected him. The same number rejected him in 2007 and in 2011; about 22 million rejected him. The excuse has been that, he was rigged out, but facts and figures proved that he is definitely unelectable as shown below:
Northwest (Buhari's strongest base) - 6,453, 437 (60%) voted for Buhari and 3,395,724 (32%) for Jonathan
Southeast – 20, 560 voted for Buhari and 5, 661, 177 (97%) for Jonathan
Northeast - 3,624,919 (62%) voted for Buhari and 1,832,622 (32%) for Jonathan
South-south – 49, 978 voted for Buhari and 6, 112, 608 (95%) for Jonathan
Southwest - 321, 609 voted for Buhari and 2, 786, 417 for Jonathan
North-central – 1, 744, 575 voted for Buhair and 3, 376, 570 for Jonathan
Further analysis shows that, in Buhari's State – Katsina, he scored 1, 163, 919 votes and Jonathan got 428, 392 votes. But in Jonathan's State – Bayelsa, he scored only 691 votes while Jonathan got 504, 811 votes. Mere looking at the figures proves that Buhari is unelectable or does it mean that Jonathan also out-rigged him in his region?
These millions of Nigerians that have been rejecting him since 2003 despite his 'popularity' do so for the following reasons:
1. He Is A Hypocrite And Sanctimonious: Buhari is a self-acclaimed anti-corruption Czar, yet he served under late Sani Abacha without complaining of corruption. In the same period Buhari served as PTF Chairman under Abacha, Nigeria was named the 2nd most corrupt country in the world in 1996 by Transparency International; the most corrupt country in 1997 and 3rdmost country in 1998. Buhari didn't resign or protest. He dismissed the TI Report with a wave of the hand. Can he do the same if such report says Nigeria is the most corrupt country in 2014? I know that Buhari would protest and call President Jonathan names.
Buhari as a man of integrity as he claims should have done what Tai Solarin, Duro Onabule and Ebitu Ukiwe did under IBB's regime. IBB's attempt to take Nigeria into the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) made his Chief of General Staff, Ebitu Ukiwe to resign. Ukiwe maintained that Nigeria, as a country, should not be a member of a religious organisation. Individual organisation can take up membership of religious organisations, but not the country. IBB made Tai Solarin the chairman of Peoples Bank with no fund and power to run it; he resigned and tendered his apology to Nigerians.
Buhari has not apologized to Nigerians for working for the most corrupt govt in the world then, but he still maintains that Abacha didn't loot Nigeria dry even as Abacah loots are still being sent back to Nigeria.
When he took over power by the gun, he supported rigging because it favoured him. But now, he is shouting of rigging. Hear him:
“The last general election was anything but free and fair. The only political parties that could complain of election rigging are those parties that lacked the resources to rig.” - M. Buhar (First Speech after Military Coup, 31 December, 1983)
2. He Is A Religious Fanatic And Extremist: Buhari believes that his religion is superior to other religions and that Koran supersedes our constitution. In 2001, he gave his total support for Sharia with this statement:
“I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria. God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country.” - M. Buhari (August 27, 2001)
He made the above statement after he had gone to BBC Hausa Service to condemn the then Vice President, Atiku Abubakar for urging Muslims states who adopted Sharia to return to the status quo.
If you think that these statements mean nothing, then envision what would happen if a notable Christian political leader from the south make the same statement about spreading Christianity across Nigeria .
Prior to the 2003 elections, he made another shocking statement:
“Muslims should only vote those who will promote Islam. We are more than the Christians if you add our Muslim brothers in the West.”- M. Buhari (2003)
3. He Introduced Kidnapping And Smuggling Into The Nigeria System: The story of Umaru Dikko is already well known that repeating it here amounts to tautology. However, Buhari and his ADC Col. Mustapha Jokolosupervised the smuggling of 53 suitcases filled with cash against the protests of Tunde Idiagbon and ironically, Abubakar Atiku (an APC bigwig), was the former DG of Customs. Do you still need to know why Buhari has never accused Atiku of being corrupt?
4. He Is Not A Man of His Words: Buhari cried in public and said he won't contest elections again, yet couldn't keep his words:
“This campaign is the third and last one for me; since, after it, I will not present myself again for election into office of the president.” – M. Buhari (April, 2011 at the Int'l Conference Centre, Abuja)
Then again in 2014, he swallowed his words with this:
“I humbly present myself to all Nigerians and to God, seeking to be elected as APC's presidential candidate.” - M. Buhari (Oct., 15, 2014 Eagle Square Abuja)
5. He Is An Ethnic Bigot Who Thinks That Vendetta Is Fighting Corruption: After Buhari and his boys overthrew the govt of Shagari with the sole reason that the govt was highly corrupt, he locked up Dr. Alex Ekwueme – the then VP in Kirikiri maximum prison but left Shagari – the president and Head of govt in his mansion. Ekwueme was tried by the tribunal set-up by Buhari and the tribunal declared that he was even poorer than he was before he came into office. Yet, Buhari jailed him and allowed Shagari to relax in his mansion.
He gave Dede Sam Mbakwe 100-year jail term for stealing nothing and also went after his wife. Ambrose Ali was tried for an undeveloped plot of land and he was jailed for 75 years with heavy torture that led to blindness and later death. Jim Nwobodo and Lateef Jakande were jailed for 100 years for stealing nothing. Adekunle Ajasin was tried by a military tribunal and found innocent. Buhari ordered a fresh trial, he was found innocent again. Buhari changed the tribunal and tried him again. He was still found innocent. Buhari still jailed him. But, Buhari left his personal friend – Awwal Ibrahim – the then highly corrupt governor of Niger State who was arrested at Heathrow airport with £14 million. Awwal was never jailed. He was placed under house arrest in his mansion like Shagari for just two weeks and indeed released.
6. He Is A Coupist : Buhari has no moral ground to stand for an election in Nigeria because he's a destroyer of democracy and can never benefit from it. He overthrew a duly elected govt and ruled illegitimately until he was kicked out. For those that claim he was invited, go read the recent interview by Chief Ebenezer Babatope on why Chief Solomon Lar was imprisoned by Buhari.
7. He Doesn't Talk or Act Like An Elder-statesman: He makes provocative statements that are capable of putting the country in crisis. This attitude caused the death of over 800 innocent lives including about 10 Corp members after he lost the 2011 elections. A man who considers himself as an elder-statesman and wants to rule Nigeria again should not be talking this way:

“God willing, by 2015, something will happen. They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way. If what happened in 2011 should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and baboon would all be soaked in blood.” – M. Buhari
“2015 will be bloody…” – M. Buhari
Buhari snubbed the same Nigerians he now wants their votes by refusing to appear before Justice Oputa Truth and Reconciliation Panel. Buhari knew how important reconciliation is to the stability of democracy, yet he refused to appear before the panel.
8. He Cannot Formulate A Good Economic Policy: True to that, Buhari is the only former Head of State without a legacy. Not even one, despite ruling with iron-fist for 2 years. Someone said, Environmental sanitation is his legacy LOL and I ask, how has that improved our economy? Or is Nigeria now the cleanest country in the world with a booming tourism industry? And again, those that attended his declaration were disappointed as he couldn't present a manifesto on how he can solve the numerous problems confronting Nigeria. We keep hearing from the Buharists: “I will fight corruption; I will stop corruption; I will end corruption.” How? By mouth?
Recall what BBC said about Buhari's economic policy: “ Buhari's attempts to re-balance public finances by curbing imports led to many job losses and the closure of businesses. These losses were accompanied by a rise in prices and a decline in living standards.”
His economic policy started the devaluation of naira. During Shagari/Ekweme's regime, $1 = N0.550 but before the end of his tenure in 1985, $1 = N0.894.
9. He Clamped Down On The Press: With the infamous Decree 4, he closed down Newspapers, arrested and jailed many journalists such as Ndukar Irabor and Tunde Thompson of the Guardian Newspaper on stories that were factual. He told the Nigerian journalists then that it did not matter whether the story reported was true or not, if his regime did not like it, the writer would go to jail.
At a point Tai Solarin became the only voice who could speak as he stood at the road corner and was distributing leaflets detailing the various atrocities of Buhari. He arrested and jailed him. In prison, he was denied his asthmatic drug. He was released by IBB and later died of complication from the torture he suffered in prison.
10. He Is Not A Man of Principle And Integrity: Since 2003, Buhari has been jumping from one party to another in his desperate and endless quest to rule Nigeria. He started with ANPP in 2003 to CPC in 2011 and, now in APC. He might abandon APC for another party if they deny him ticket.
11. He Has No Regard For Human Rights: Mrs. Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA reporter then, was sacked for reporting what Dr. Olusola Saraki had told her in an interview about how the missing money was traced to Buhari's account at Midland Bank London branch. Vera eventually won her case of wrongful dismissal in court against the NTA and was financially compensated.
Dim Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu, who returned from 13 years exile, just a little over a year then, was as well locked up in Kirikiri Prison by Buhari. Up till today we were not told what his offence was. Busari Adelakun died of ulcer because Buhari refused him to be taken out of prison for medical attention. The then Gov. of Ogun State, Bisi Onabanjo suffered similar fate which we were told led to his untimely death.
For using the US$2.8bn to sing, Buhari jailed Fela Anikulapo -Kuti on trumped up charges under emergency law which prompted the sentencing judge to confess that he was ordered to do so and apologised to Fela. It was Buhari's administration that said it has “decided to deal with this Fela problem once and for all.”
Buhari used retrogressive law to execute three Nigerians: Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26). One of those three – Ogedengbe – was executed for a crime that did not carry capital punishment at the time it was committed.
12. He Is Corrupt: That a blind man doesn't see the sun don't mean the sun is not up in the sky. That Buhari has not been jailed for corrupt practises doesn't mean he is not corrupt, after-all, nobody has jailed IBB, OBJ etc., yet people say they're corrupt. Buhari has never been able to account to Nigerians what he did with the N25 billion missing in PTF of which he was the chairman. Shagari incurred Buhari's wrath when he decided to investigate the US$2.8 billion that disappeared from NNPC account and traced to the Midland Bank, London. Justice Ayo Irikefe panel was set-up and Saraki headed the Senate committee. The following were unequivocally discovered:
Firstly, a judicial panel was set up to trace the $2.8billion (Justice Ayo Irikefe panel).
Secondly, a senate committee was also set up to trace the $2.8billion (headed by the elder Saraki).
The findings of the senate committee were reported live on NTA by Vera Ifudu.
Buhari overthrew the govt to burn and shred the evidence.
Buhari got Vera Ifudu sacked.
Vera Ifudu and the NTA went to court.
Vera Ifudu won her case, got reinstated and was paid compensation
A man that procured a loan of N27.5million to purchase his presidential form using man-know-man approach is definitely corrupt. Buhari ought to live by example.
13. He Is A Pretender And Deceiver : Buhari claims that he has no foreign bank account, no booming business, no house in Lagos or Abuja. He has 2 houses: one in Katsina and the other in Kaduna. Yet he has been contesting elections since 2003 and pursuing it up to the Supreme Court with his team of SANs. The minimum appearance fee for a SAN at the Presidential election case at the Supreme Court is N25 million. Where did he get this money? Can he tell us his sponsors? He borrowed N27.5 million to buy a form, yet he moves around in Chattered aircraft each time he wants to fly which is costlier than owing one. Buhari is definitely a pretender.
14. He Is A Tribalist: Since his days as a Head of State, he only appointed his people in important positions. As the chairman of PTF, he employed an overwhelming number of Fulani/Hausa/Moslem at the detriment of other groups and concentrated PTF projects in the North. He used the company of his in-law – ( Salihijo Ahmad ), Afri-Projects Consortium in executed all the projects. He shamelessly executed about 74% of the projects in the north and 26% in the entire south according to PTF Situation Report (Vol 2, 98).
15. He Has Soft-spot For Boko Haram: Buhari made the following statements which support Boko Haram:
“The declaration of state of emergency in three Northern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe is a grave injustice against the North.” – M. Buhari (Liberty Radio, June 2, 2013)
“…when the Niger Delta militants started their activities in the South-South, they were invited by the late President Umaru Yar'adua. An aircraft was sent to them and their leaders met with the late President in Aso Rock and discussed issues. They were given money and a training scheme was introduced for their members. But when the Boko Haram emerged in the north, members of the sect were killed”. – M. Buhari (Liberty Radio, Kaduna May 14 2012)
But on Ombatse, his tone changed because they killed Fulanis:
“…But those that killed the 56 security men must be hunted and prosecuted no matter how long it will take because this is the bottom line about law and order, and security in the country. They can't be forgiven, they can't override the constitution, Nigerians are being hurt and killed in their duties and those that killed them must be brought before the law.” - M. Buhari
16. He Is Anti-development: Buhari stopped the Lagos metro rail even when the military Administrator for Lagos State, alerted him that on the clause in the contract ($60 million metro rail project) agreement that would yoke the state into debt, if the contract was cancelled unilaterally. He replied: “Mudashiru, I don't care”. Although the fund for the execution of the project which would have given Lagosians an intra-city light train transport system would not have come from Buhari's Supreme Military Council, Buhari, cancelled this project of the state government, with ethnicity on his mind. Till date no Nigerian city has metro rail. Buhari out of jealousy of the leadership acumen of Dede Sam Mbakwe, he stopped all the wonderful projects initiated by him in Imo State when he overthrew the Shagari's govt. Yet, Buhari left the govt without a legacy. What a man!
17 . He Hates Education: Just like Boko Haram, Buhari is a supporter of the almajir system. No wonder President Goodluck Jonathan is the person that established the first and only federal university in Katsina State – Buhari's State and 100s almaijiri's model schools across the northern region. People like Buhari are against the almajiri schools.
18. He Is Weak: It is a fact that Tunde Idiagbo was the brain and pillar behind the govt of Buhari. No wonder Buhari was thrown out in what was regarded as a Palace Coup when Idiagbo went to Mecca. If Buhari that ruled with absolute power and iron-fist couldn't protect his govt from being overthrown by junior officers, how could he safeguard and protect Nigeria in this turbulent time.
19. He Is A Product of Corruption And Nepotism: The manner and swiftness Buhari rise in the army can only be possible in a system where nepotism reign supreme. At 21, Buhari was cadet trainee; at 23 he was promoted as Commander 2nd Infantry Battalion; at 25 he was appointed Brigade Major, 2 Sector 1st Infantry Division; at 28, he was promoted Brigade Major and Commander, 31st Infantry Brigade; at 29 he was promoted Assistant Adjutant-General 1st Infantry Division Headquarters; at 34 he was appointed the military governor of North-Eastern State; at 39 he was appointed Chairman NNPC and GOC, 3rd Armoured Division, Jos, 1981-83; at 42, he shot his way to Dodan Barracks as Head of State. Most of these promotions were with no further education/training.
Buhari's kids and people still use Quota system education (to enable them go to school) and federal character for them to get jobs. Imagine when a kid from Ebonyi State needs to score minimum of 112 in Common Entrance exams and another kid from Sokoto (a state that is older than Nigeria), Yobe etc., need only 9 and 2 respectively in the same exam. Remember that these kids wrote the same exam, in the same country, at the same time and answered the same questions. What corruption is worse than this? Yet Buhari has never condemned it.
20. Buhari Is Just Perpetually Unelectable: To those that still think Buhari would one day rule Nigeria again, ask Nasir El-rufai, he has the answer:
Slik O. Austin

Nevertheless, we want change.

voltron:
His brain-cells remain just 37 in number and he wants to govern 120 million Nigerians.. he must think we are almijiris

Whst is the count of GEJ's brain cells?

Misogynist2014:
Sad as it may seem, I don't think Buhari has a chance of winning this election, considering the huge propaganda against him in newspapers, television stations e.t.c. Also Buhari must have shot himself in the foot by threatening to remove the office of first lady(which is the dream of every woman), as many ladies I know are afraid of voting him into power, that's 50% of all votes! Jonathan is using huge blackmail and spending a lot of money on this election(s), I don't think there is a chance of escaping violence.

A no-brainer.

Rose2014:
Where did u read about happy home biko?
Or u're waiting for her to get killed so u can come n type RIP abi?

Please madam stop going about ranting about an issue you do not have any shred of experience about. The couple have since survived the misunderstanding and moved on. But you are busy swallowing pills on their behalf. There are many mistakes wives make in marriage that are weightier than their husband's spank, yet they appologise never get a divorce. Ask your mother and go back to your studies.
Mcheeeeeeeeeeew

Rose2014:
Did u just type this. So the blame is on the abused woman and her mother D mother should watch her daughter get killed abi? So u can come n read the tragic ending and type RIP

You go fear advice na

I blame the lady for not reading the handwriting on the wall. She should've followed her mom's advise n send his sorry ass back to Africa. She's bn pitying him all along yet he even has the mind to raise his hand on her. Imagine the guts!!

Why was there not a mention of the father-in-law in the whole 4 year old episode? Such mothers-in-law seldom last in their own marriage. She is unwittingly encouraging.her daughter to end up the same way she obviously ended

tuniski:
you keep missing it, it is not the duty of the president to be taking people to court and at the same time sentencing them. That is for different arm of govt not always executive! This is democracy not dictatorship but, many are still having military mentality that is why they keep asking the president to be. A dictator in a civilian rule! GEJ is the democrat we need! Carry go mr president.

It is really not his duty to take people to court and sentence them. But when EFCC and judiciary manage to secure a conviction, GEJ will gladly grant the convicts presidential pardon. What is the point fighting corruption?

OLADD:
You're a liar. Though PDP is not perfect, their giant strides at state level are commendable. Go to Jigawa, Gombe and even Delta, you cannot thumb down their improved infrastructural developments. The fact is that they don't spend billions in advertising and spreading propaganda in the media as APC does..

Do you mean giant developmental stride in Delta State? Please mention.one of such strides. We just.stay abroad and presume may be because of oil revenue accruable to.them. Forget Uduaghan and Delta, they are finished
