With BH killing Nigerian soldiers like flies you have resorted to deflecting to Jonathan abi?

Gandollar:
Jonathan pre-occupied with buhari keh?

Jonathan knows buhari died in a London hospital and has no fvck to give jubrin who isn't even a Nigerian in the first place.

Gandollar:
YES!!!!!

Is Jonathan Transparency International which adjudged corruption as worse under buhari?

Are we not living witnesses to how buhari is tacitly funding BH to remain buoyant while tagging it ransome money?
Have we not seen how presently BH has become so tech advanced in the renewed onslaught against the State, bolding sacking a whole army command with gusto?? But the army remains under-equiped while BMC keeps getting grants left right and center just to sell to us an expired drug?

With was witnessed so far, is it not clear that buhari has inec on lockdown? I just pray and hope that the dogs and baboons blood will be shared this time around when jubrin looses woefully next year.

Jonthan's name is not on the ballot against next year's election but these useless sophisticated mor0ns want to drag him into the ring

Gandollar:
The OP is doing what he knows best in the face of dwindling political capital of the Lifeless One both locally and internationally

Ask him to back up his frustration with evidence now, he will speed more frustration.

Sowunmi advised to keep the campaign issue based. But obviously buhari media cows have nothing to campaign with that stands the test of time, OP has resorted to inject some tasteless comic relief into the whole thing .

Daura 2019 fully loaded!

What's the point here?

Fuel was 96 under GEJ and 145 now

Unemployment and corruption are higher now so what's the point?

Dino The Slayer of Aisha Buhari's kpekus

Despite dedicating 13 pages of his new book, ‘My Transition Hours’, to proving that his administration was not as corrupt as thought, former President Goodluck Jonathan passed up an opportunity to say a thing or two about the alleged $2.2billion arms deal scandal for which his National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, has been in detention since 2015.

Buhari ordered Dasuki’s arrest in November 2015 after receiving the preliminary report of a 13-man investigative committee he set up to audit the procurement of arms and equipment in the armed forces and defence sector from 2007 to date.

The committee had stated thus: “The committee also discovered that payments to the tune of Three Billion, Eight Hundred and Fifty Million Naira (N3,850,000,000.00) were made to a single company by the former NSA without documented evidence of contractual agreements or fulfilment of tax obligations to the FGN.

“Further findings revealed that between March 2012 and March 2015, the erstwhile NSA, Lt Col MS Dasuki (rtd) awarded fictitious and phantom contracts to the tune of N2,219,188,609.50, $1,671,742,613.58 & €9,905,477.00.

The contracts, which were said to be for the purchase of 4 Alpha Jets, 12 helicopters, bombs and ammunition, were not executed and the equipment were never supplied to the Nigerian Air Force, neither are they in its inventory.

“Even more disturbing was the discovery that out of these figures, 2 companies were awarded contracts to the tune of N350,000,000.00, $1,661,670,469.71 and €9,905,477.00 alone. This was without prejudice to the consistent non-performance of the companies in the previous contracts awarded.

“Additionally, it was discovered that the former NSA directed the Central Bank of Nigeria to transfer the sum of $132,050,486.97 and €9,905,473.55 to the accounts of Societe D’equipmente Internationaux in West Africa, United Kingdom and United States of America for un-ascertained purposes, without any contract documents to explain the transactions.

“The findings made so far are extremely worrying considering that the interventions were granted within the same period that our troops fighting the insurgency in the North East were in desperate need of platforms, military equipment and ammunition. Had the funds siphoned to these non-performing companies been properly used for the purpose they were meant for, thousands of needless Nigerian deaths would have been avoided.”

Since then, Jonathan has largely avoided discussing the matter, although he did say in October 2016, while responding to questions after his lecture on Youth Entrepreneurship at the Oxford Union in the United Kingdom: “They said the National Security Adviser (Sambo Dasuki) stole $2.2billion. I don’t believe somebody can just steal $2.2 billion.

“We bought warships, we bought aircraft, we bought lots of weapons for the army and so on and so forth and you are still saying 2.2 billion, so where did we get the money to buy all those things?

“Yes, there were some issues. Yes, there are still corruption issues but some of it were over blown. I’d say exaggerated and they give a very bad impression about our nation. You cannot say the national security adviser stole $2.2billion. It is not just possible.”

He was asked the question outright; that was why he responded. But in a book wholly dedicated to repairing the battered image of the former President, his cabinet and his party, it was expected that Jonathan would not attempt to describe his administration as less corrupt than Muhammadu Buhari’s without addressing, however slightly, the biggest corruption scandal of his reign.

However, throughout the ‘13 corruption pages’, and in fact for the whole of the 194-page book, neither Dasuki nor the matter featured. The only time the accused was mentioned, it was in passing, and simply as ‘NSA’. That was on Page 66, in the third paragraph, where Jonathan listed the people he met with before reaching the decision to shift the 2015 elections by six weeks.

In foresight, Jonathan’s defence would be that the case is in court, and it would be sub judice for him to comment on it. But the case was already in court when he briefly commented on it in the UK in 2016. Also, the sub judice talk is often exaggerated. The law clearly leaves some gap for public discussions of matters in court. According to S.33 of Rules of Professional Conduct, 2007, “a lawyer or law firm engaged in or associated with the prosecution or defence of a criminal matter, or associated with a civil action shall not, while litigation is anticipated or pending in the matter, make or participate in making any extra-judicial statement that is calculated to prejudice or interfere with, or is reasonably capable of prejudicing or interfering with, the fair trial of the matter or the judgment or sentence thereon”.

So, Jonathan could have discussed the matter, at least vaguely, without breaking the law. If he did this, he could have done some bit in repairing his image in relation to corruption, especially as documents seen after Dasuki’s arrest allegedly show that Jonathan indeed approved the transactions for which Dasuki is in detention.

Why, then, would he avoid the matter?

Buhari will do well as a local cattle rearer of cows than leading over 180million Nigerians.

ObaKlaz:
The problem with Nigerians is that they suffer selective amnesia. Otherwise, this drunken sailor should not be talking at all. We keep glorifying confirmed failures like Atiku, Buhari and Jona.-daft all the time!

OP who God has bless no man can curse, If you like go and dig up his father corpse GEJ is still greater that you and your village people that are playing mamako with your sense

Can I come in?

selectedhero:
Lol, I at this point think we would have to agree that we disagree not just as per candidate but as per ideology. Well you were ANGRY you said , I suppose you are now HAPPY with the herdsmen massacres, killings in zamfara and environ, hiked fuel price, devalued naira, all round negative development index, high level government protected Corruption, police and military Brutality, Nigerians seeking visas in droves. I have only mentioned a few and you know that. How you are able to accept all these as normal beats me, but one thing I assure you is that when we start to progress as a nation It wont be difficult to tell, i will know as would you. Buhari obviously isnt it and you know it. For me, atiku is that step towards what we are looking at. In time as I always say Nigeria will be liberated.

selectedhero:
Suit yourself Sir. How you came about Atiku's inadequacy beats me. When your candidate has shown beyond dispute that he is incapable of delivering the goods our nation desire. Given your current stand, I like you to say in all honesty if in your opinion, supporters of Goodluck Jonathan were justified or not to want the continued stay of their Principal

oga if both parents aren't around of abandoned the child what's that called. The kids in motherless baby homes are called what.

crestedaguiyi:
So when he was aleeady in custom was when he started out, idiots are too much on this forum.

A graduate who already has a job is not just starting out biko , he had secondary and university school days.

nysc days and job hunting days. Those are when a person is starting out in my opinion

k2kay:
Have you even read the book

selectedhero:
My man without being prejudiced I like to bring to you that copyright or proprietary issues are not just the issue sef. Because Rex or any other organization having the next level variant have not raised alarm yet... They will though. My grouse is we have been brought to the level where we have to be discussing logo, ordinary logo fa of all issues in the APC agenda. That is what lack of creativity brings. I honestly feel ashamed that your investigative journalism would have to be on the legality or otherwise of a campaigns logo. I enjoyed your work though. However If Nigeria was really it for you at the moment, I assure that you wouldn't even have to spare a minute on such a dicourse. Unfortunately thats where we are and that's why we have to make Nigeria work again. With atiku at the helm

ngadaAwo:
you don't understand what I'm saying

ok why do this current Buhari looking like someone in his 50s?

selectedhero:
Ho ho ho ho ho. They have started another one. Kai this people no dey shame. Fact: when you have to argue so much to prove a point then it's highly likely you are lying. Same way they had to source about 50 SANS to prove why their Lord and Saviour's WAEC result should not be asked for.

The government of Buhari and the APC have unequivocally failed man and divinity. In time we shall be purged of them.

Atiku's flight has finally landed. His determination and consistency is bound to pay off just like Buhari's in 2015.
