We know your like. Supporter of anything corrupt and anti-good news about Nigeria.

Aren't you happy that fraud charges against the Senate leadership were dropped? Aren't you supporting pej against the efcc in relation to money laundering charges? What about pipeline vandalism, you are happy.

If a judge collected bribe and perverse the path of justice and you people are shouting rule of law, which rule of law did he follow to criminally enrich himself?

Please for posterity sake support the fight against corruption so that you and your future generations can have a good life. Posterity will judge you.

Having said all that, I want you to know that you are pathetic and miserable and that goes to every one hoping to reap any reward on you in future.

I am not like you who believe everything on the pages of Newspapers. I am a reasonable person who wait to hear from both sides of the case before making any judgment. It is because of people like you who believe everything being dished out to the public by the government that Nigeria has remained this way. It is very obvious you are not an objective fellow, so get a life.

pedel:
And in your expanded knowledge injustice /justice simply means thinking with the head?
What about corruption? Thinking with your anus?

You're such a pathetic fellow! Just take a look at your comments and the reactions that followed.

pedel:
I hate injustice and corruption.

It is obvious you do not understand what justice/injustice entails...it is not thinking with your heart but with your head!

pedel:
So if a Supreme Court judge commits felony he can't be charged to court?

Let's say a Supreme Court judge shot his gate man dead in the middle of the night and the neighbours call the police, does it mean the judge can't be arrested and charge for murder?

This country is definitely screwd.

Why is it so difficult to understand simple communication such as this? They are not referring to any other crimes by the judges but a specific case of corruption, and the manner in which they were arrested. If a judge kills his neighbour even a four years old baby knows that the judge can be charged. But note that out of illegality nothing legal can come out.

still better than raping 8years old girl

Just last week one mallam raped four years old girl in Zamfara

Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation and former governor of Rivers state, made false claims about Nigeria generating 7,000MW of electricity under President Muhammadu Buhari, TheCable can confirm.

In an interview with Osasu Igbinedion, after the launch of the Kaduna-Abuja railway line, Amaechi said Nigeria was generating 7,000MW of electricity before the resumption of militant activities in the Niger Delta region.

He blamed the militants – Niger Delta Avengers – for poor power generation in Africa’s largest economy.

“Don’t forget that until these so-called Avengers began to bomb, we had got to 7,000 megawatts, and what he promised was ten at the end of the first term,” Amaechi had said.

“By the time the avengers, or whatever they call them started bombing, the minister of power, had driven the thing to 7,000 megawatts. Unfortunately, they began to hit the gas facilities, so what would you do?”

FACT: Nigeria, in its 55-year history, has never generated 7,000MW

Contrary to Amaechi’s claim, TheCable can confirm that Nigeria has never generated as much as 7,000MW in its entire existence.

Electricity generation in Nigeria is said to have begun under the British colonial government back in 1896, while the Nigerian Electricity Supply Corporation (NESCO) came on board in the late 1920s.

Ignoring the above, and tracing our records to 1960, when Nigeria got her independence, the government said, in a memorandum of understanding signed with the United States government, that it had built power plants to generate about 6,000 MW of electricity by 2014. NERC data shows the government fell short of its projection.

According to Wall Street Journal, which quoted the World Bank and Energy Information Administration, Nigeria produces less than half as much electricity as North Dakota for 249 times more people.

Meanwhile, the federal ministry of power, has said the highest level of power generation in the country, in the space of over half a century, was recorded on February 2, 2016, when the country generated 5,074 MW.


Power peaked at 5,074.7MW on February 2, 2016
This 1,926 MW short of Amaechi’s claim.

As at July 26, when Amaechi made this claim, Nigerian Electricity Regulation Commission (NERC) data showed that power generation peaked at 3,082 MW for the week.

Power generation when Amaechi made his claim
Babatunde Fashola, minister of power, who spoke at The Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, on August 1, also reiterated the work done on power generation in Nigeria, with emphasis on a power peak around 5,000MW for 2016.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who spoke at the University of Ibadan, the country’s premier university in May said: “Early in the life of this administration late last year and early this year, power generation was possibly at its best”.

“Nigeria, for the first time, was actually generating 5,000megawatts, which was the first time it will happen in the history of the country,” Osinbajo added, contrary to Amaechi.

FACT: Nigeria was not in recession under Jonathan

The minister, who also served as speaker of the Rivers state house of assembly for eight years, also claimed that there was economic recession, under the administration of former president Goodluck Jonathan.

“If you remember as governor, I said we’re broke. The minister for finance (Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala) came to my office in Abuja here and pleaded with me that I shouldn’t say it again,” Amaechi said.

“So I knew as chairman of governors’ forum, that we had gone into recession under Goodluck (Jonathan).”

First: What is recession?

The International Monetary Fund (IMF), CNNMoney, New York Times and leading economic bodies agree that a recession can be easily identified by “two consecutive quarters of decline in a country’s real (inflation adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP)”.

They, however, add that on a global scale, one may need more than this metric to call a recession. IMF particularly says “it is often better to consider a wider set of measures of economic activity to determine whether a country is indeed suffering a recession”.

Second: Can recession be covered up?

Amaechi alleged that the Goodluck Jonathan administration covered up the recession.

According to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), a private research organisation, which maintains a chronology of the beginning and ending dates of US recessions, recession cannot be covered up.

The NBER’s Business Cycle Dating Committee defines a recession as “a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in production, employment, real income, and other indicators”.

Your Verdict: Did Nigeria experience recession under Jonathan?

Goodluck Jonathan became Nigerian president on May 5, 2010 and relinquished power by May 29, 2015.

Central Bank of Nigeria data shows that there was never a single quarter of negative GDP growth from 2010 to 2015, and no “two consecutive quarters of decline (negative growth) in a country’s real (inflation adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP)”.

According to World Bank and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) opendata project, Nigeria experience annual economic growth ranging from 7.8 percent in 2010 to 2.7 percent in 2015.

Nigeria GDP per quarter 2
GDP growth by quarter (Chart by Trading Economics)
Other economic metrics, such as inflation, unemployment, also do not show any signs of recession.

According to NBS, Jonathan’s administration saw unemployment spike above 10 percent in 2012 from about five percent in 2010. Jonathan left Nigeria with 8.2 percent unemployment.

The administration also moved inflation from 12.9 percent in May, 2010 to nine percent in May, 2015. No economic indices highlighted by the IMF, World Bank and NBS showed recession within 2010 and 2015.

Are you saying that to incite controversy or you're clearly deluded?

Though I wanted to lambast him for 'showboating' for the cameras while he causes unnecessary traffic logjam for motorists but I must commend him for atleast constructing a 74km road.
Such a distance is now a rare achievement in Nigeria. GEJ barely did and with barely 2 active years left in Buhari's tenure(the last year is for electioneering),I doubt if he'll make such distance.

Sorry can't find the 74 on the road.

First of all forgive my Errors and my typing English

----------------------------------------------------------------------
It all started early this Year!!!
When I lost my Work I.D card
I was supposed to request for another one
But it have to undergo some process and terms
And the I.D card money will be deducted from my salary.
So a friend of mine took me to a place where I did the I.D, for just a token of amount....
Well it was successful after then, and I was using it to work, not till there asked some of us that is using ACessBank to come and fill form for the New ZenthBank there want to open for Us being Company Account.... So I requested for the form and after filling it there ask me to bring out my I.D card so there could photocopy it and attach it to the form I filled,
That was when there knew that the I.D card was fake, there started questioning me. Telling me that if their boss know about what I did, that I even forge their boss signature attaching to the I.D Card, that alone might land me into Jail.... So there requested for Affidavit of the I.D card and also a police report
Have not done the police nd the affidavit tho, am thinking their boss might have known about it...
PLEASE WHAT DO U GUYS THINK I NEED ADVICE. THANKS
@Lala is up to you

Please don't panic. However, "They" and "There" are two different words. Please learn how to use them. Thank you.

What will you do with the names? There might be legal issues surrounding the release of names especially as the people have not been convicted.

If they have not been convicted how did they recover those funds? Think NIGERIANS!!

Hengineer:
I do! Very many Nigerians and even non-Nigerians do, far much more than those who do not and you know why?... its because he is an outstandingly intelligent professor of law, a senior advocate of Nigeria, and an annointed man of God.

The only people who do not take him serious are those who hate him, and the only reason they hate him is cos he was elevated by God to the position of VP of the FRN, together with PMB, and together they displaced a pathologically corrupt regime.

This reply is the reason why the entire black race has been continually backward.

omobaekiti:
Even if they match the surrendered BH members on the tip of your nose I doubt if you would believe. Believe or not the Nigerian Army is winning the war under our able commander in chief,President Muhammadu Buhari...#istandwithbuhari

It is a dangerous trend! All over the world, from history, no terrorist has given up his belief - the belief that he is fighting a just cause. It is not about disbelieving the NA but care must be taken not to fall victim of gullibility. In Europe today they are grappling with the menace of terrorism; they have never for once reported that a terrorist had surrendered. Why? Because terrorists don't surrender, they fight on and die doing. It is this type of ignorance you are displaying that has caused us to remain in this mess.

takoi:
I won't waste your time.
I have a good boss who not only pays well but have also been very nice to me both financially and otherwise.
He sent me on an errand yesterday to sell some of his personal belongings for him. He was expecting a maximum of 80k from the sales. While selling, I negotiated cleverly and made 150k.
I fought with my conscience to give him like between 80k-90k. But I finally decided to give him all the money because he had always been a nice guy and I felt it was wrong to cheat or steal from someone who always gives you even more than you deserve.
Fast forward to today. My younger brother called that he needs money for some pressing needs in school and I did not have money to give him because almost all the money I have is tied down to a certain business deal.
I feel bad that I can't give my brother the money he needs and I could have had the cash to give him if I took part of the money yesterday. I have been wondering if it was really worth it that I gave my boss all the proceeds from the sales.
Please share ur thoughts on this.

What is wrong with this generation? How can you contemplate stealing from somebody, whether boss or not!! We have lost all decency known to the moralists. And yet, we keep blaming government or village phantomed witches for our misfortunes? It is a pity!!!

SmartMugu:
Do you know how many cases judges here per day? This is just one, multiply that by the number of cases he may receive similar bribes for and see if that doesn't amount to what the Chief Justice of the Federation and Mr President make.
Judges don't make that much money legally.

Agreed. But my problem with a lot of nigerian youths is that we believe everything on the pages of newspapers without taking a critical look at issues before we draw up conclusion. Do we know if there has been a cordial or mutual relationship between these two? Emotions!!

doctokwus:
Don't be surprised that there are Nigerian judges that can rule in favor of a client over a gift of just N25k 'recharge' card or just fuelling their car.
U wudnt imagine how low judges in this part have sunk.

It is very doubtful that the said amount could be a bribe. Nigerian lawyers are corrupt. Agreed. But I find this allegation hard to believe; it is too small for a Nigerian judge.

[b]Magu said:[/b] “Before we arrest you, or seize your property or do anything to you, we check the law; we go to court and get court order. That is why we are winning; that is why we are defeating them every day.”

Look at this! If the lawyers are frustrating you hire such lawyers to prosecute your case and stop blabbing. The same lawyers that are blocking you from doing your job is where you go to obtain warrant of arrest. Magu wake up!

Diversionary! Diversionary!! Diversionary!!! What is this for God's sake! These people will do all that is necessary to keep everybody away from their ineptitude and lack of focus. I am really fed up with this Newspaper balderdash. At the moment nothing is working in Nigeria, believe it or not that's your business. Need I remind anyone who will quote me that I am not one of the jobless layabouts you attack unnecessarily.

We should learn how to be critical sometimes... What did they say to each other? We don't know except with this log posted here. When we try to test the veracity of a case before we express joy, we will never be caught off guard. I will need to listen to these phone conversations before singing my praise. My opinion, my thought.

Freelanswer:
I believe the media made it look as if Father Mbaka was complaining. He only commented that his transfer amounts to suffering for his ministry citing the place to accommodate ministry assets as an example. That's not to support that all is well with the way he expressed the situation. But, I think, instead of throwing tantrums at what you consider 'shameful' in this, the man of God needed your prayer more than anything else now. He is human and subject to human frailty any day. He needed your prayers to save him from any dirt he must have contacted obviously innocently from any association with demonic politicians. And you know what? far more devils are fighting him than you.

Meanwhile, we invite you all to save more on your daily expenditures by using www.lowprices.com.ng to check for the prices of things every day and to advertise your own discounts free of charge.

My Rev Fr was an assistant to the Bishop for more than 15 years, I never saw any priests complained of transfer. No Catholic priest is allowed to disobey the church order through the Bishop. Fr. Mbaka stop ridiculing the Church.

This Op must be high on oshogbo weed. Simon Achuba is from Iyano in Ibaji LGA of Kogi state. Ibaji people speak Igala not Igbo. Take note

Nairapeople:
Multi-millionaire blogger, Linda Ikeji is in a battle with the Lagos Inland Revenue Service over an alleged tax evasion and it is authoritative.
It was gathered that all attempts to track down the blogger started about a month ago when the agency got information that the blogger has not been remitting necessary taxes to the state government but all attempts by the service were said to have been
frustrated.
A source informed that at a time she was to be served a notice of tax assessment, her father who was to receive the letter allegedly declined to do so saying she could not receive such a notice on behalf of Linda.
On the second occasion, the delivery man was turned back on the excuse that no individual known as Linda Ikeji was resident at the address traced to her business.
The agency however got their way last week as she was said to have been served at her new mansion in highbrow Banana Island while the inland revenue equally made a video and photo evidences to support the service.
A very reliable source at the tax office informed News of the People that checks conducted on the blogger revealed that she had only paid (N4,000) four thousand naira ever as tax to the state government.
At the moment LIRS is said to be requesting for her tax assessment of personal income with a caveat that failure to do so may compel them to proceed to court for a criminal proceedings.

It was hinted that if the blogger refuses to respond to the request of the inland revenue, the agency shall be forced to drag her to court to face the music.
When the blogger was contacted on the issue by this medium, she neither responded non acknowledged the message sent to her.

http://www.newsofthepeople-ng.com/blogger-linda-ikeji-in-trouble-with-lirs/

A particular issue raised by a source was the withholding tax ought to have been paid to the state government on the 600 million naira property she recently acquired which may amount to about 30 million naira only.

She is not responsible here. The seller is to withhold the amount and not the buyer.

Eziachi:
Putin talking trash as always. 20% of the Russian population are Moslems. Way before any terrorist attacks in London, Paris or California, there had been terrorist attacks on the Moscow metro that claimed 150 lives, he forgot the Beslan school hostage of 2000 that claimed over 400 lives. Moscow theatre hostage that claimed 120 lives in 2002, all under his watch.
Ngushetia and Chechnya are part of his Russia but is like a lawless country. Probably 10%,of ISIS members are Russian nationals.
So what exactly is the little despot boasting about or talking tough about to his very scared Duma members about?

Are you for real? 20% of Russian population are Muslims? This is the reason why terrorism will not stop...this superficial assumption can encourage people to believe that they are of numbers to fight the government. Please we need proof. I am coming back for more.

Sometimes we need to set sentiments apart and focus on the veracity of an issue. I may not like this man, Dino Melaye, but we need to check the statement very well. .. Is that not February 24, 2010 I'm seeing?

What proof do you have that they stole? Meanwhile, did Buhari ask anyone to steal for him? Some of you guys calling Buhari and his allies names should realise that even if Buhari steals 20billion dollars today, he's still a BETTER man than his predecessors. People like you who were taciturn in earlier political dispensations have suddenly become critical of this one. Why so? As if Buhari hasn't been up and doing. Do you know what he goes through daily? You just speak as if you are under stupor.

As for any corruption charges on Buhari's supporters, no law court has proven anything. Kangaroo judicial inquests do not even count.

This is where stupidity starts and ends! So when it comes to Buhari's allies, court must convict but with Jonathan's men they are thieves even without court proceedings.. Too bad!

Can anybody tell me where is madam Oby?
