Yeah!

That reminds me of that cartel drug "god" in Mexico (forgotten his name). How was caught "in" Mexico. This dude was rated in billion $, far above what tompolo could imagine. But he was still caught.

I believe, with this bombings of multinational facilities, tompolo could be declared wanted nationally, though he might deny the bombing activities, the fact that he's refusing court invite (thanks to PMB), he could be declared wanted.

Besides, isn't there a transnational agreement that when there is a "suspected" case against a person in his home country, then the country he's currently resident should give him up? Just like when Osama bin laden ran to Pakistan during his days, the Pakistani PM to come in to defend Pakistan stake in the search.
You have a point. But remember that Mexico is not Nigeria.

Tompolo is taken as a freedom fighter by his people, The Mexican drug lord is taken as a ruthless criminal who kills with reckless abandon.

He has denied his involvement in the bombing officially, but he is still declare wanted because he has flouted court orders, but the question is does the military have the jurisdiction to arrest a person being tried for a civil case? Only the police have that right (to the best of my knowledge).

The military can only wade in when Tompolo attacks any installation or facility that is tantamount to destabilizing the security balance of the nation. Even then, they would have to be careful because Tompolo is not your average armed robber, he is a war lord.

In world politics, if you don't have the military and economic might, you can not force another country to honor an agreement. E never even reach time for Tompolo to run.

Make we dey watch sha. All this one na my own analysis. Na stand I dey, doz wen dey d field nai know the koko wela.

I am just hoping PMB can resolve this without leading to avoidable loss of life and property. Because seriously, na him start am. If him be dey follow rule of law, Tompolo for don see reason to go answer him name for court, return go house.

You keep shooting yourself in the foot with this flawed argument. Let me break it down...

1) How did Dasuki and Jonathan arrive at the amount required for the equipment procurement needed to fight insurgency?

2) Were such figures confirmed as true? If yes why not pass him on to the relevant agency or monetary body to follow up? Why use the story of "we need this done quickly" to push him straight to the cbn? If this act by GEJ was done bypassing the relevant monetary bodies and successfully executed how many more have been done without being exposed or would have been done if he had been allowed ro return as President?

3) PMB is not a minion and cannot doctor the budget as obviously some persons in the national assembly meant to cause mischief with the budget. He submitted the budget openely and I believe that if he withdrew it before it was passed then he cannot be faulted. The amendments done have been shown to all so no secrecy and if you have proof that his aide doctored it kindly provide it and stop being a ninnyhammer.

I can deduce from your comments that its not about the truth for you... its about your unbridled hatred and rage towards PMB... more grease to your hatred!
Guy na my last reply to you be this as you no one answer my question.

1. No amount of money is too much for our brave men of the Nigerian military. Nigeria's military is a joke compared to that of other countries of similar size. If that money was judiciously used, we would not be having this conversation.

2. We were losing vast territories to BH, so pardon me for not siding with you to note that the urgency of sending needed money to the military to prosecute the war. He did not bypass relevant monetary agencies, the issue is that he bypassed the National Assembly. Do you want to become a prophet now? Are we going to start judging people by the actions they never took? Hear yourself...

3. Na here me really tire for you. Are your living under a rock. So you have not been reading the news. Including where Saraki said Senator Ita Enang, Special Assistant to the President on Senate matters submitted a budget that was different from what PMB submitted?

The principle behind your argument is flawed. If you say GEJ cannot be blamed but the monetary agencies and yet these monetary agencies still did or said nothing, under whose authority do these monetary agencies reside and whom are they answerable to? Is it still not the same Federal government whose head was Jonathan? There is absolutely no way you can untangle Jonathan from this mess. The only way Jonathan has found to escape is what master criminals tell fellow criminals, " if caught, deny deny deny"!!
You are just chasing your tail. These agencies are independent agencies. That they answer to the president does not mean that they are the personal tools of the president. Can you understand that? Jonathan is not OBJ that used supposed independent agencies to pursue his political enemies all the time.

Case in point, look at INEC.

Is it PMB that is prosecuting Dasuki? Is it not EFCC under PMB.

As I have said repeatedly, GEJ has nothing to answer about this issue. Even Magu has cleared his name. It is only haters like you that are still chasing shadows and displaying your brazen hate for the top-performing civilian government in the history of this country.

Now let me answer ur own question. PMB would be blamed if he did not pass through the relevant financial agencies or ministries to demand for and ensure release of such funds. You need to realise that the reason Jonathan is being mentioned over and over again and not the auditing financial agencies is because he did not pass through them. He sent the former NSA directly to the cbn. Now do you understand?
No, you have not answered my question. As Fayemi don budget N800m to renovate website, who we go blame? Fayemi when make the budget or PMB when appoint am?

No Jonathan is not been mentioned "over and over again" because he did not follow due process. That is just one side of the story. All the curses and vituperations against him are because Dasuki diverted funds that was meant to fight the war and led to loss of military and civilian loss of life.

And I am saying this part should not be blamed on GEJ but on Dasuki. That is why I asked the PMB and Fayemi instance.

If you are saying your reason for hating on GEJ is that he did not follow due process, please did PMB follow due process with the submission of the edited National Budget? And both these instances do not have the same gravity. GEJ sent Dasuki to the CBN (the people that were always going to release the money, the Minister of Finance signed off, in fact neither Sanusi nor Emefiele objected, unlike them). PMB used his special assistant to doctor the budget in an hotel and resubmit an edited budget, while maintaining through his aides that he does not have an idea about what the missing budget, where is that done?

PMB brazenly insults us, the constitution, and the citizens, and gets away with it.

Since u want us to act and reason like adults..let me ask you a very simple low IQ adult question, " Did GEJ pass through the right channels when demanding for the release of monies to the former NSA?

If not that CBN applied wisdom by retaining a copy of the purported note from the Presidency which asked them to release monies to the NSA would you and I have known about all this?

A simple adult and intelligent answer is all I need pls.
Please guy, answer my question. I use whatever you worship take beg you! No mention me again unless you have an answer to the question.

To your question. I suppose he didn't, in the sense that it should have been appropriated by the National Assembly.

But look at it this way. Before the returned Abacha loot came in, a committee was set up to discuss which sector best deserved the money, and defense was chosen. Where the senate stands in all of this is not something I am privy to.

About the other remaining part of the $2.1b, there are conflicting stories as to if it is all of the money appropriated to Dasuki from when he was appointed to when he was removed, or if it was a one-time payment. That aside, the outrage is not that Jonathan gave money to Dasuki to fight the war without following due process. The outrage is that Dasuki used the money for something else.

Can you understand that?

I never for once have said that all actions taken by GEJ followed due process. It is understandable to make errors once in a while (unlike with PMB, where his supporters believe he can do no wrong). However, what we are debating is what the money was used for. The real question is if GEJ asked Dasuki to share the money frivolously. For example, did GEJ ask Dasuki to give a now APC chieftain N100m to buy a house (which has since been returned)? Those are the kind of questions you should ask.

That is why I am maintaining that you cannot blame GEJ for the recklessness of Dasuki.

Do you get me?

Bro I keep wondering why its difficult to track down this tompolo dude. The money u talking about, is it not in the bank? Be it local or foreign? Or does he move about with his billions?
The State has a full power to freeze his account.

Even Bible talk am say "money is a defence"
I hear they have frozen his bank accounts in the country.

But if he has (and I suspect he has) moved most of the monies to foreign accounts, then it is a lost cause for the FG. Unless they can prove that it is laundered money, which they cannot prove unless he has been taken to court and nailed for laundering charges, they cannot talk to the foreign banks/governments to release the money back. Kpata Kpata na another Abacha level go happen with the money trickling down in bits.

In any case, made men like Tompolo place their money in hidden vaults and finance havens around the world like Switzerland, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, British Virgin Island... where no one apart from the account owner can take cash from the account (not even the US).

Tompolo is one of the most powerful men in the ND region, so his people and associates will have to be heavily against him to give him up without a fight.

Remember that the SS is not yet convinced of the intentions of PMB (coupled by his court actions and statements), so it would be hard to get his people to give him up (I'm not talking about his village people that are only concerned about the money, I'm talking about the other commanders in MEND, other militant groups, and the made men in the region)...

It's a battle of individual interests. That is part of the quagmire.

Oga high IQ Let me help you fine tune your high IQ a bit ok?

According to you Dasuki asked for money from Jonathan in order to use it in the fight against insurgency right? Just that he decided to share it without supposed permission in the acquisition of properties and amongst friends.

Your IQ is -1000 thats why I said I want to help you fine tune it a bit. So money that went to dokpesi for PDP campaign from Dasuki came from which money? Money that went to akpobolokemi came from which money?

So if I own a company and I make u the manager and a staff comes to you for financial release to help in a project meant for the wellbeing of the company and you authorise release, is it not your place to also demand for accountability or proof of project execution? If I am the managing director I will find both the staff and the gm culpable because it shows fraud and gross negligence on both parties.
I don't know why you folks are avoiding the question I asked.

Answer, should PMB be blamed for the N800m budgeted to renovate website by Fayemi? Quote me when you have answered the question. Else, stay off my mention.

Let me jor give you my reply...

Oga, it depends on the size of the company. For a smaller company, yes, you the manager will have to demand for accountability. In a large company, that is the job of the Audit department.

In the FG, especially in a country as large as Nigeria, we have the Auditor-General and more importantly EFCC and ICPC who are supposed to ensure accountability. These are independent bodies and are supposed to report to the presidency directly. If the agencies did not do anything, who is incompetent, the agencies or the Presidency?

The President cannot be chasing every single head of agencies and parastatals in Nigeria. Asking them what they used the money he gave them for.

Look at the NIMASA man. Look at the guy in charge of the spectrum sales that received N34b from the sales, and pocketed N17b? Should we also blame GEJ for that?

Be an adult. Learn to take responsibility and not to blame everyone for your corruption tendencies. Since you have not realized that, little wonder that Lai, PMB, APC and the present administration have not. Imagine the present minister of Agriculture, a professor for that matter, blaming GEJ for the spread of lassa fever. When GEJ handled the more deadlier ebola that killed 11 thousand people in Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea.

For reference sake, Ebola killed 20 in 3 months. Lassa has killed 43 (as at yesterday) in 2 months.

I am not proud to say I have a high IQ, my posts prove it. I am not perfect. GEJ made mistakes, but can we all lay the blame game to rest?

guy i have been reading most of your posts and i like your basic line of thinking..the emboldened is especially true,how can one submit himself to a court in which the president himself disobeys..the president cant disobey court orders and would want others to obey same...is unnatural
Glad you see my point. When we said PMB should follow the rule of law, they said they rather he be a tyrant.

Now Tompolo has also decided to be above the law, and the same blood-thirsty people want to start a war in the relatively peaceful ND.

To me, Nigerians are now more involved than ever in the governance of this country (especially at the federal level). If PMB follows the rule of law, these looters and criminals will still be brought to book, or there will be a backlash from the public. For example, look at the stiff bail conditions from the Judiciary? And the judges had made it clear that the bail does not mean that they have been acquitted. Which means, they will still be tried when all the evidence have been compiled.

So it is very surprising why PMB does not want to honor the decisions by the courts?

So far, he has not given a compelling reason. This is worrying. I hope PMB does not intend to contest again in 2019. Because he cannot count on Nigerians to use democracy to give him power again and then insult us to our faces by flouting the constitution and the rule of law that oversees the process.

I want PMB to succeed, but I cannot bring myself to accept his methods.

those that know those involved should caution them now and not to begin to attack Buhari when he retaliate.
Bros, if you will be truthful to yourself, the ND struggle is the first successful agitation in Nigeria's history. Tompolo, Boyloaf, Ateke Tom and others held Nigeria to a standstill before, they can do it again.

The problem of underdevelopment in the SS even after the successful struggle is a different issue altogether. It also bedevils other regions, including the north, east, and west. So I fail to see your point.

Believe it or not, Tompolo right now is more powerful than he was in 2008. If you are not from ND and did not follow the Freedom Fight don't diplay your ignorance.

Tompolo today is far richer and has acquired more weapons than he had in 2009. Do you remember that Nigerian territorial waters has the second worst case of piracy after Somalia? Those boys can bring in a rocket through the waters and nothing will happen, that's what I mean by the means and connections.

How did they get their guns before? Their associates that buy their illegal crude are some of the world's most wanted people? Do you know the size of the illegal arms trade?

We are in a recession and you want to fight a war with an undefeated war lord who is more powerful today than he was six years ago. The small money that we should use to develop the country would be used to prosecute the war? What about our soldiers that would be fighting wars on two fronts? Or the humanitarian cost of the war?

Funny enough I have this conspiracy theory that it's competing militants or bitter Ijaw chieftains pained on how tompolo cheated them of billions that are sponsoring these attacks so that tompolo cud either be quickly arrested or killed.
This is because unless tompolo is unimagibly stu pid, he wud know that any explosion linked to him wud make his hunt by d fg very quick, brief and most likely fatal to him.
Now he not only has got the police searching for him,the army too will get involved and experiences of BH and the Shiites that tried defying the Nigerian military under these new generals do not make for pleasant reading.
Yesterday, Tompolo distanced himself from the attacks.

Tompolo is in a quagmire. First, the success of the ND freedom fight was because there were a lot of groups with shared objectives fighting concurrently in different sections of the SS. Now, it is just Tompolo, and, if he was fighting, his reason for fighting would be for himself and not the region, which means he would not enjoy the wide support from the majority of militants.

Two, most of the militants are already enjoying a massive welfare package and will be less likely to return to the creeks because of one commander's selfish interests.

But with that said, we should all remember that Tompolo has been receiving at least N1b from the government every month in personal welfare packages and defense contracts since Amnesty started in 2009. That is aside the obvious bunkering he has been involved in as a side gig.

Also, remember how he bought a war ship sometime ago? The fact is that at the moment, Tompolo has the money, the means, and the connections to prosecute a war on the Nigerian state without even been in the country. With the supply glut, low oil prices, and an army that is reeling from a challenging BH war, Nigeria will not be as ready to fight this renewed conflict as they were earlier under Yaradua.

But then again, Tompolo can't just submit himself to the authorities. The authorities have a poor record of respecting the judiciary. That is the quagmire. Once again, thousands will likely die because of the interests and actions of a few.

Tompolo must flout orders na.....he's a thug and militant who can't help himself and it's left for the govt to bring him to order.





@the bold cheesy cheesy i wonder why you didn't tell GEJ when he almost blocked our ears with Kuan Yew did it, Jonathan is doing it sing song. Was he confused?

You don't even need to tell me....GEJ CAN NEVER be Lee Kuan Yew if you give him a million years. He's too weak and fearful to even try cheesy

[s]So you want Singaporeans to just enter the streets and start demonstrating even without a need to?[/s] shocked




@the bold, be patient.....my birth certificate will soon arrive at your doorstep cool

[s]As for the remainder of your rants, they make no sense my dear.[/s]

Cheers
Too many reasons to stop replying you. Keep it up mate, reality will soon hit you like a sledgehammer.
