Martin onovo was just jumping up and down. Economy revival to pre election, to election to post election. He was asked if the budget is in line as a resolution to the current and unseen problems. Well he disagreed but was expected to buttress it with some vital point. Chamber even helped him by giving him a vital point which is d fiscal policy instead of him to move on with the point he was rather teaching philosophy. "Mark the government poor or high with critical point to back your assessment", that was what they asked him. He only marked with no point to show except for the recurrent expenditure and reduction in ministry which he raised as a point, aside that he is still a learner when it comes to policy and its formulation.

But maupe really took it personal. She should have shown some professionalism there. That is not too good for her profile

Health / LASSA FEVER ; Ogun State Places 19 Under Surveillance by lorbar42(m): 3:07pm On Jan 26, 2016
Nineteen suspected primary carriers of Lassa fever in Ogun State, have been placed under intensive surveillance.
The 19 suspected carriers are a student of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, FUNAAB as well as 18 other health workers, who are all personnel of Ahmadiyya Hospital, Ojokoro, Lagos State.
The state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Babatunde Ipaye, who revealed this to newsmen during a press briefing Tuesday morning declared that Ogun state is confirmed free from Lassa fever.
He also revealed that all the 18 suspected personnel are workers of the Ahmadiyya Hospital, Ojokoro, where the first index case in Lagos was discovered, but living within Ifo and Ota axis of Ogun State.
The Commissioner stated that all the suspected carriers have been kept under intensive surveillance in the last 12-14 days, and noted that the incubation period for the confirming the disease is 21 days.
“They have been put under surveillance in the last days. One Disease and Notification Officer is attached to each of the 18 primary contacts. They are workers of Ahmadiyya hospital, Lagos who reside in Ogun state.
“They came in contact with the disease while working. We are monitoring them, they have between 7-9 days to be fully observed before being confirmed. But as we are speaking, all the cases have been confirmed negative.
“The state government, being responsible and responsive needs to keep the public and its people aware of the situation of the issue as it progresses.

“So, let me use this medium to call on everybody in the state to urgently report any suspected person with symptoms of Lassa fever like bleeding from the nose, vomiting, complaining of headaches and so on to any nearby hospital or call the emergency Lassa fever phone lines,” Ipaye said.
He disclosed that the two suspected cases,which were discovered two days ago have been confirmed negative.
The two victims are a 7-year-old boy in Abeokuta, who was taken to the General Hospital, Ijaye, while the second one was a 10-year old girl who travelled down from Kaduna.
According to him, ”they confirmed that she is having acute fever. Her case is not a critical symptom of Lassa fever. She has a story of taking blood tonic, which made her blood to be black.
“She has been tested and confirmed that she has no such disease.
“For the boy, he was admitted at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, OOUTH, Sagamu and several tests have been conducted on him. From all the tests conducted, it has been confirmed negative.”
However, Ipaye has declared that the state is not thinking of going the way of Lagos state by killing rats.
“Waging war against rats now is good but not the panacea. What we need to do is to be more hygienic in our dealings, environment and food must be fully protected against the rodents,” Ipaye advised.

Metuh’s firm among 78 paid for doing nothing – NSA office
January 26, 2016


Ade Adesomoju, Abuja

An official of the Office of the National Security Adviser, Mr. Bali Ndam, on Tuesday narrated to a Federal High Court in Abuja the processes leading to the charges of money laundering and fraudulent receipt of the sum of N400m from the ONSA in November 2014, preferred against the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olisa Metuh.

Ndam, a Legal Adviser at the ONSA, who appeared before Justice Okon Abang as the third prosecution witness for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday, said the incumbent NSA, Maj.-Gen. Babagana Monguno, sent a petition dated November 28, 2015 to the commission over “payment of contracts without award”.

Led in evidence by the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Sylvanus Tahir, the witness said “a list of companies and individuals about 78 in number” was attached to the NSA’s petition to the EFCC.



He said he could “vividly remember” that Metuh’s firm, Destra Investments Limited, with whom the PDP spokesperson is standing trial, was among the 78 beneficiaries of the allegedly ‎fraudulent payment.

But an attempt by the prosecution to tender the petition and other documents, including the electronic mandate issued by the ONSA to the Controller of the Abuja branch of the Central Bank of Nigeria for payments in favour of the 78 beneficiaries, was opposed by the defence counsel, Mr. Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN).

The judge is currently writing his bench ruling on the objection raised by the defence against the admisibility of the documents.

Metuh, who has a pending application for variation of the conditions of bail granted him by the court was also produced in court on handcuffs by prison officials on Tuesday.

The court has fixed tomorrow, Wednesday for the hearing of the application for variation of the bail terms, which his lawyer said he had laboured unsuccessfully to meet.

The EFCC is prosecuting Metuh and his company, Destra Investments Limited, on seven counts of money laundering and fraudulent receipt of N400m meant for procurement of arms from from the Office of the NSA on November 22, 2014, and used the funds for the PDP’s campaign activities.

The prosecution alleged that the N400m from which Metuh was said to have given about N21m to a former Chairman, Board of Trustee of the PDP, Chief Tony Anenih, was “part of the proceeds of an unlawful activity” of the immediate past NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd).

The prosecution, led by Mr. Sylvanus Tahir, opened its case on Monday by calling two witnesses – an employee of a financial services firm, Asset and Resource Management Company Limited, Nneka Ararume, and a bureau de change operator, Sie Iyenome.

While Ararume testified on how she received a $2m cash from Metuh at his home in Abuja on December 2, 2014, Iyenome narrated to the court his role in converting the sum $1m part of the total sum of $2m
Politics / Dame Patience Jonathan The Seer by lorbar42(m): 5:55pm On Jan 22, 2016
I think this statement should not be new to Nigerians that has keenly monitored the political development of the country. "I AM NOT READY TO FEED MY HUSBAND IN JAIL".
I think this woman had seen the future of what behold of her husband and his cohorts. If truly they are innocent as said by some set of people, then why is she afraid of jail even before they lost the election. Well my view " Sinners are so scared to the bone whenever they hear ......... cool cool cool. WHAT IS YOUR OWN VIEW?

I'm not ready to feed my husband in prison – Patience Jonathan By Sylvester Ugwuanyi on March 17, 2015
Subscribe free to Daily Post Newsletter

First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, yesterday declared that she is not ready to be visiting the prison to feed her husband, President Goodluck Jonathan.
The President’s wife, who stated this in Ado Ekiti during a rally of the women’s wing of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, asked, “How can you jail somebody for 300 years? I’m not ready to carry food to my husband inside prison oh!”

While admitting that the Office of the First Lady, which she currently occupies, is illegal, she quickly pointed out that there was nothing wrong in a woman supporting her husband who reigns as President.

Taking a dig at the All Progressives Congress, APC, she asked, “What did they forget in Aso rock? If you vote PDP and Jonathan, it would be better for you. If you vote APC, you will go to prison. She said.

She affirmed further that, “They said there is no Office of the First Lady. Already, we know that there is no Office of the First Lady but there is wife of the President.

“As (the) wife of the President, if you are good, people will love you. You will have a Non-Governmental Organisation through which you will touch people’s lives. That is why I brought Women for Change Initiative.”

There was drama at the event as the First Lady was still speaking when women – both old and young – fought to have their share of the leftover of rice distributed by Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, during the last Christmas festival, packed in small bags.

The women were still struggling over the rice packaged in small bags when attention was diverted to another struggle for buckets presented by Senator Gbemi Saraki in commemoration of the October 16 inauguration of Fayose.

The struggles, which almost resulted in a stampede, saw many of the women sustaining various degrees of injuries.
Politics / Dasuki Saga: Does The Prosecution Worth It by lorbar42(m): 12:19pm On Jan 19, 2016
I really want to sleep but I'm tempted to write this to all who had been saying rubbish concerning the ongoing Dasuki gate of $2.1bilion.
I think many don't know how much 2 billion dollars worth and what it could achieve. So they de-euphemise the gravity of the offence….as at the time of sharing that money last year..A dollar was about 220 naira..
So if you calculate the worth of 2.1bilion in naira.. That's a whooping 525 billion naira..
Ahhhhhhh.. Half a trillion Naira..
In a country where the whole of Lagos state get between 9 to 10 bilion naira as monthly allocation
even at the height of oil boom.. I'm not sure it's up to that..
This is to cater for the needs of over 25 million people in Lagos..
So in a year, Lagos alone at the height of oil boom could only access 120 billion naira in a year.. And if
paid regularly the amount Dasuki squandered could take care of Lagosians comfortably for 5years..
Oyo State allocation is around 4. 5 billion in to cater for about estimated 10milion people in Oyo State..
They could be wrong but census had about 5milion as the Last time so in a year oyo State could only access About 50bilion!
And it will take the whole oyo State 10 years at least to finish 500bilion plus..
Ahhhhhhh and you people out there are so audacious to be clamouring for the release of this kind of animals who care less about the lives of fellow human beings. For God's sake there are 1000 pieces of 1milion in a billion..
I mean 1milion naira in 1000 places..
If you wake up in the morning and you spend 1milion naira daily, you will only manage to spend 365 to 366milion naira in a year and it may take you like 4years to squander 1bilion naira if you live moderately on 1milion naira per day as allowance so 500bilion would take how many years to finish.. (about 2000 years)
Only a Mad man could do that.. That's why psychiatric tests should be done for these people..
Dasuki is just over 60 years old and at worst he will have 30 more years to live in this sinful world, tell me.. Can he ever spent that much before he dies. Why are we so wicked in this country..
So far these are the list identified
Peter Odili N100m
Rasheed Ladoja. N100m
Attahiru Bafarawa. N100m
Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi. N100m
Jim Nwobodo. N500m
Tony Anenih. N260m
Bode Goerge. N100m/$30,000
Yerima Abdullahi. N100m
Olu Falae. N100m
Tanko Yakassai. N63m
Gen Bello Sarkin Yaki. N200m
Raymond Dokpesi. N2.1b
Iyorchia Ayu. N345m
BAM Properties. N300m
Dalhatu Investment. N1.56b
Mohammed Bello Haliru and son N300m
Bello Matawalle. N300m
ACACIA Holdings. N60m
Bashir Yuguda. N1,950,000
Olisa Metuh. N400m
Nduka Obaigbena. N670m
Guild of Editors. N50m
Isa Jafaru. N160m
I'm not a good mathematician but if you sum this up Buhari hasn't recovered 25 billion from the misappropriated arms fund alone yet you want him to give Zuzuki or what is name is bail just because
of democracy..
Democracy my foot..
For God sake.. We are not talking about the yearly allocation for security oo..
Just the one we call extra budgetary funds.. What if Buhari looks at how the annual security votes were been spent in the last 6 years, we will weep for this country, yet they still misappropriated a whooping 2.1bilion dollars!!!!
We are yet to talk of various funds under Deziani, not what Tukur did at Railway, not what Fani Kayode did at Aviation despite innocent death from air crashes...
Why Nigerians.. This isn't an APC/PDP fight.. Fight for your right, fight for your lives, fight for you immediate
children.. Fight for your grand children.. Instead, some are crying for Biafra forgetting to fight those who destroyed Nigeria. Theses corrupt elements are in every tribe, every nook and crannies of the country. Fight those people first before you ask for your country Biafra because if/when you leave those destroyers would leave with you and eventually destroy your new country if
you ever get it..
Politics / Re: EFCC: Dasuki Used Arm Cash To Buy Assets In London And Dubai by lorbar42(m): 12:24pm On Jan 17, 2016
OBJ is very correct. The sanity of our political leaders have to be tested before assuming any post
Politics / EFCC: Dasuki Used Arm Cash To Buy Assets In London And Dubai by lorbar42(m): 12:06pm On Jan 17, 2016
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday accused the immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), of compromising the security of the nation and committing economic sabotage through his alleged diversion of over N32bn meant for the purchase of arms to fight terrorists in the North -East.



Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd)
The commission, which also gave more details about the alleged diversion of funds meant for the purchase of arms by the office of the NSA during Dasuki’s tenure, said there were documents showing that the ex-NSA gave the approval for the release of the funds to the accounts of private companies and individuals for the procurement of arms.

EFCC’s lawyer, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), said this before Justice Yusuf Baba of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Maitama, Abuja, while opposing the bail applications filed by Dasuki and his co-accused persons, who are being prosecuted on 19 counts of conspiracy, criminal breach of trust and dishonest misappropriation of the money.

The other accused persons, who had pleaded not guilty to all the 19 counts on Monday, are a former Director of Finance and Administration in the Office of the NSA, Shuaibu Salisu, and a former Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Aminu Baba-Kusa, and two companies.

The two companies, in which Baba-Kusa are their directors, are Acacia Holdings Limited and Reliance Referral Hospital Limited.

Jacobs, who said the accused persons were still under investigation for other “aspects of the case”, added that the EFCC was still tracing assets linked to the proceeds of the diversion of the funds.

The EFCC, however, alleged that Dasuki had purchased houses in London and Dubai with the proceeds of the funds meant for the purchase of arms for the soldiers battling the terror group, Boko Haram, in the North-East states.

The prosecution also alleged in its counter-affidavit that Dasuki transferred huge sums of money to companies whose identities were still being traced, adding that he transferred large sums of money outside Nigeria to acquire “several assets in Dubai and London.’’

Its counter-affidavit also read, “That our investigation also revealed that the applicant transferred large sums of monies outside Nigeria and he acquired several assets in Dubai and London with these funds.”

The defence lawyers, representing the accused persons – Ahmed Raji (SAN) for Dasuki, A. U. Mustapha for Salisu, and Solomon Umoh (SAN) for Baba-Kusa and his companies – had, while moving their respective bail applications, maintained that the charges filed before the court did not indicate that the money in question was meant for the procurement of arms.

But Jacobs, in picking holes in the lawyers’ contention, referred the judge to pages 14 to 58 of the prosecution’s proof of evidence, which he said contained documents detailing the approval of the former NSA for the release of various sums of money to individuals and private companies for the procurement of arms.

Jacobs said, “In our proof of evidence, we mentioned security money meant for purchase of arms. We also mentioned security equipment, but they decided not to look at it.

‘‘Page 14 to page 58 of our proof of evidence showed approval for the supply of security equipment, satellite and arms. All the charges we filed were based on funds approved for the purchase of arms.”

In a counter-affidavit, deposed to by an EFCC detective, Hassan Saidu, the anti-graft agency alleged that the funds were released to private companies and individuals “who have nothing to do with the supply of security equipment or rendering security services”.

According to the 19 charges preferred against the accused persons, Dasuki, Salisu and Senior Special Assistant, Domestic Affairs to the President, Waripamowei Dudafa, released N10bn to the Peoples Democratic Party for the presidential primary delegates.

It was also alleged that N2.1bn was paid into the account of DAAR Investment and Holding Company Limited, controlled by one Dr. Raymond Dokpesi for the funding of media activities for the 2015 Presidential Election Campaign for the PDP.

The sum of N1.45bn was also allegedly paid to Acacia Holdings Limited, controlled by Baba-Kusa, to organise prayers.

Again, the sum of N750m was allegedly paid to Reliance Referral Hospital Limited in favour of Baba-Kusa for prayers.

Belsha Nigeria Limited, controlled by Bello Matanwalle, was also said to have received N380m to support some members of the House of Representatives for their re-election campaign.

General Hydrocarbons Limited controlled by Thisday publisher, Nduka Obaigbena was also said to have received N670m for “energy consulting”.

The office of the NSA was also said to have paid N260m to a former Minister of Works, Chief Tony Anenih, who was also the Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees, during the March 28 presidential election.

Senator Iyorchia Ayu was also said to have received N345m for the construction of shopping mall at Jabi, Abuja, purporting the said sum to be payment for satellite charges and security equipment.

EFCC said in its counter-affidavit that it was in the interest of the accused persons to remain in protective custody in order to shield them from being attacked by relatives of innocent soldiers who were drafted to fight Boko Haram without sufficient equipment.

The affidavit read in part, “That the charges being alleged against the defendant/applicant (Dasuki) border on economic sabotage that strikes at the very foundation of Nigeria well-being and existence.

“That it is in the interest of justice to put the applicant in protective custody so as to shield him from a possible attack by the relatives of the innocent soldiers, who lost their lives due to lack of adequate equipment; innocent soldiers who lost their lives due to lack of adequate facilities caused by the diversion of the funds meant for that purpose.

“Apart from the cases that are pending against the applicant, he’s also being investigated in respect of other criminal allegations.”

Jacobs said during the hearing that “investigation into other aspects is still ongoing. There is still investigation into assets tracing.”

He urged the court not to grant bail to Dasuki, whom he said “will escape from the jurisdiction of the honourable court from Nigeria”, adding that “the applicant will not be available to stand trial if released on bail.”

In moving their separate applications for bail, the defence counsel urged the court not to rely on the proof of evidence filed by the prosecution, arguing that doing so would run contrary to the presumption of innocence, which their clients were entitled to under the Constitution.

They maintained that the allegation that their clients would interfere with the prosecution witnesses was speculative.

They added that the provisions of Section 162 of the new Administration of Criminal Justice Act had placed the onus on the prosecution to prove why bail, which, according to them, is “almost automatic” for the accused persons, should not be granted to them.

Raji said, “The prosecution has made strenuous attempt to rely on the proof of evidence in urging your lordship not to grant bail.

“It is my argument that to rely on proof of evidence will violate the principle of presumption of innocence because they have not been tested.”

Raji urged the court to grant bail to Dasuki on condition of self-recognition and seizure of his passport as granted to him by Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court in Abuja, where the accused person is being prosecuted for illegal possession of firearms and money laundering.

Justice Baba has adjourned ruling on the bail application till Friday.

Meanwhile, the EFCC on Tuesday arraigned a former Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda; a former Governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa; his son, Sagir Attahiru; and their firm – Dalhatu Investment – on 22 counts of misappropriations of about N13bn meant for the purchase of arms by the Office of the NSA.

Also arraigned along with them, before Justice Peter Affen of the same FCT in Maitama, are Dasuki and Salisu.

The accused were said to have misappropriated the money between August 2013 and May 7, 2015.

All the accused were arraigned before Justice Peter Affen, who had, on Monday, granted leave to the EFCC to prefer the charges against the accused persons.

They pleaded not guilty to 22 counts of conspiracy, dishonest receipt of stolen property in breach of sections 97 and 317 of the Penal Code Act as well as receipt of proceeds of criminal conduct in breach of Section 17(b) of the EFCC Act.

After the arraignment on Tuesday, Justice Affen fixed Wednesday for hearing of the accused persons’ bail applications.

barcanista:
Nonsense!
1. If he plays partisan politics, is his office not a partisan one? Is he a Service Chief or a civil servant? Is he not an appointee of a PDP government and a PDP member? Which NSA wasn't partisan?

2. If he has ties with IBB or Gusau what is wrong? Are they indicted for terrorism or outlawed? Is freedom of association not his right?

3. If Corruption, when did SSS have the mandate to arrest corrupt officials? Is SSS same as EFCC, ICPC and SFU? Is that even the legal procedure? Has he been invited/summoned? Is their any arrest warrant?

Why are Buharists so undemocratic? Is is despicable. Let me assure Buhari that he will be resisted if he was to reinvent his dictatorial character. He's so undemocratic and hardened. If he has personal beef with Sambo Dasuki he should head to court and stop abusing agencies of the State.

1.Jega should have be partisan too in his discharged of his duties because he was an appointee of a PDP led government.


2. freedom of association is truly accepted but when your association is perceive as a threat that could endanger lives. we have to bring that kind of association to questioning. it is too bad to forget that the country started experiencing high level of terrorism during the regime of people he was said to associate with and the country experience a gross act of indiscipline in the army and terrorism at his peak under his watch as NSA.

3. We are not only talking of corruption here but security of a nation. which makes even a sand to be an important specimen if possible to aid an investigation. U perceive it to be undemocratic but remember they have been issued a search warrant from the magistrate court.


My advice; Don't be too bias and sentimental in your mode of thinking if u want people to take u serious.

It has always been something of importance to look back to the Nigeria-Biafra war when the words "No victor No vanquish" comes to my hearing.
Though, majority were yet unborn,while some were still young in the days of the profusely offensive war that kicked off on the 6th of July,1967. But thanks to history that has kept the record for us and even the generation unborn.
meanwhile, some people describe the action of the Nigeria government and Nigeria army as a genocide on the then defunct Biafra side by imposing blockade on the coastal oil facilities exposing the Biafra side to severe famine.
The civil war has been recorded to have a military casualties and military losses of 35000 and 75000 respectively. where the civilian casualties recorded about 2-3million lives. What a huge figure!!!
The agitation of Biafra by igbos in the east and some minor tribes in the south south was for them to have a place they can be heard, a place where their view can be considered, a place where they will have a sense of belongings, a place where they will not feel marginalized. But checking what resulted to the Biafra agitation, one will be quick to ascertain that it was the political motives that brought about the call and yearn for a new nation.
At first, I believe it was the yorubas that should complain about a foul when the then NPC in the north formed an alliance with the then National Council of Nigeria and Cameroon party in the east. while the action group in the west, made up of the Yoruba people happily played the opposition role.
There is always a saying that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This I believe was the thought of some people in the north who felt that the first coup d'état led by major Kaduna Nzeogwu that cost sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and sir Ahmadu Bello their lives, had only benefitted the Igbo's because it was perceived that most of the coup plotter were Igbo. An event that ought to b checked through proper investigations and bringing the perpetrators to law was put aside under the watch of general Aguiyi Ironsi who eventually became the head of state on Jan 16, 1966 a day after the failed plot. The north in response to what they see as an "Igbo conspiracy"replied and led to the progroms in the north which resulted to the killings of thousands of igbos while millions of igbos fled to the east. It was not only the east that was ready for secession then but there were secession threats from the western region and the northern region.
A country that some people have fought for with their strength, sweat,blood,time and power to gain independence from the British colonialist was fast becoming a battle ground occupying spectators to watch as every event unfold through the actions of some of our selfish, uncommitted and callous politicians.
Every tribes suffered from the civil war; the igbos, the hausas and the yorubas with other minor tribes all have the story to tell about the civil war. The hatred grew among tribes but the truth of the matter is that we are all dependent on one another which has make this country unique. A country made up of different tribes and ethnic s, a country made up of over 1000 languages coming together as a body and our strength as a nation lies in our diversity. the teeth will bite the tongue, for that the tongue can't disown the teeth. From both sides of the war we should salute all the generals and all the gallant men that fought a fight of courage including the fallen heroes. It is hightime we put the pain of civil war behind our sentiments and give room for the injuries it brought along be healed up. it is high time we looked forward and think about a solutions that will bring Nigeria out of the crises and challenges the country is currently subjected to. Nigeria shall be great again if we work together in one accord. The government has its role to play and deliver its promises to the people. you have your part to play, I have my part to play.Let's join hand and build a better Nigeria and a country that the coming generation will be proud of.
God bless every tribes.
God bless Nigeria.
