His brother the former president could help him.

maupe:
Everyday we see ambition driven greedy people claiming they wrote letters against their boss during the GEJ years. It is now a biblical law, that if you want favour with this new government, just claim that GEJ stopped you from fighting corruption, and almost instantly, you will be rewarded.

Do you blame them?
Sycophancy pays in Nigeria.

21 Nov 2015


The problems of illicit/narcotic drugs in the country have been compounded and the drug war terribly compromised by those appointed/employed and remunerated to combat illicit drugs.

Paul Audu, Chief Superintendent of Narcotics, NDLEA, stated this in his petition to President Muhammadu Buhari, titled ‘Re: N.D.L.E.A.’S Chairman/Chief Executive’s (Alhaji Ahmadu Giade’s) Fraternity With Drug Barons; How I Am Being Persecuted For Waging War Against Drug Barons.’

When we called Giade to get his response to the allegations, he neither picked his call not called back.

Audu, a lawyer, said he had earlier sent the petition dated 24th July, 2015 to former President Goodluck Jonanthan, but that the investigation was “blatantly compromised” and “made me a scapegoat. Hence, I deem it imperative to revive the petition for proper re-investigation in the interest of our beloved country, with the understanding that it is no longer business as usual.”

The Chief of Narcotics said, in the petition made available to THISDAY, that he arrested a known drug baron and was in the process of arresting four others when he was allegedly posted out of Lagos, where the investigation was taking place, by the Chief Executive of NDLEA to stall it.

Audu said, “I was singularly instrumental to the arrest of one of the most notorious and volatile/dreaded and wanted international drug Baron by name Akindele Ikumuloyi, in Lagos in March, 2006, after an enduring and painstaking surveillance spanning over a period of about one and half years.
“I also singularly traced his landed properties in 13 different locations in Lagos even several months before his arrest. I was equally equipped with avalanche of information that could immediately lead to the arrest of four other drug barons and I had cause to discuss same with the Chairman/Chief Executive (Alhaji Ahmadu Giade ) in confidence.

“Surprisingly, however, Alhaji Ahmadu Giade, who felt I was out to take bread and butter off his table by arresting Akindele and further planning to arrest some other Drug Barons, personally and punitively posted me out from Lagos to Adamawa/Taraba States Commands of the Agency immediately to keep me away from his flocks and has abandoned me there in bad faith for the past nine years as against the three-yearly postings of my colleagues while he has refused to promote me for an upward of about 10 years now, thereby making me to serve under and take directives from my juniors whom he has now elevated far above me.”

He urged President Buhari to investigate his petition on account of the ordeal he was passing through and for his subsequent suspension from work without pay, saying it was “for no other reason than my patriotic zeal and determination to fight drug war to the root which Alhaji Ahmadu Giade sees as being counter-productive to his selfish pecuniary interest.”

Nigeria, he said “has never had it so bad like it is now under Alhaji Ahmadu Giade’s 10 years administration. It is common knowledge that illicit/drugs have taken over our country so much so that it has now become openly and cheaply available on our streets, motor parks, markets, schools etc. we all can attest to the fact that the quantum of drug abuse in Nigeria today is higher and worse than when there was no Agency to control or combat illicit/narcotic drugs.

“This is because Giade would not allow NDLEA officers to arrest the real drug barons who are the real problems of the society but whom he is benefitting from. As a matter of fact, NDLEA officers know who the barons are and how to get them arrested, but touch drug barons and you will have Giade to contend with.”

He cited the case of Kashamu as an example, saying he was untouchable until former President Olusegun Obasanjo waded into the matter.

This report is misleading. I'm aware of N1.04 trillion sanction against MTN, I dont know when the same sanction suddenly jumped to N2.1 trillion. Has MTN committed another infraction?

E don accumulate interest.

...............and this is just one of the things that have endeared him to the hearts of many.He did not deceive Nigerians and honestly fought the terrorists even in the face of international conspiracy to deny Nigeria arms purchase.Under his watch,FDI grew,Nigeria became the biggest economy in Africa,etc etc

....However the LYING WAILERS aka LYING LIARS aka BROOMOIDS aka WITCHES & WIZARDS aka BUHAROIDS aka DULLARDOIDS will never see these facts

the fact that the election was transparent is proof that Jega did a good job.
That Nigerians were just not impressed with Jonathan's performance.
That Nigerians will do same to Buhari if he does not perform.

vivalavida:
The former American president further praised Jonathan for organising a transparent election and easily conceded defeat by handing over to the opposition, stressing that by doing so, Jonathan showed his deep democratic commitment.

/

At least a man as reputable as Carter has confirmed that the election was transparent.

The end is around the corner.
Very soon the poor will have noting to eat but the rich and they will be eaten.

What does this Olisa Metuh fellow smoke?

Gbawe:
These guys are giving leadership a bad name.

The assumption that they are leaders is a laughable assumption.
I still think a lower commission will make more economically prudent but that does not excuse the idiocy of Melaye and his fellow barbarians.

[size=20pt] on a serious note, high chief Raymod Dokpesi use to be the man of honor and a man I have huge respect, its so sad to see him stoop so low to the extend of airing hate campaign on his TV station all in the name of wanting power by all means


I'm really disappointed in him, seriously


He really messed up [/size]

He has been like this for a long time.
I really wonder when you saw him as a man of honour.
An employer of labour who can't pay bills while living in opulence tells you all you need to know about the man.
Long deciphered that he has no integrity. Whatever happened to those who bought Daar shares?

Tinubu should see this case through.
It does not matter if it takes 10 years. He should keep Dokpesi and his lawyer busy in court.
Journalists and bloggers should be made responsible for the comments they make.

These Afenifere old men are no better than OBJ.
They are too partisan to be taken serious.
Tinubu has knocked dementia into their brains.

I have said it many times that Nysc is a waste of time.

Utterly pointless exercise.

Is fayose actually as daft as he sounds?

Duru1:
Per the bolded, the writer of the above junk is a born again idio.t whose lack of critical thinking is plentifully evidential in this moronic sketch. Did the jackass think the names of persons he mentioned were sent from the heaven? They all started their peoples' lives just like Nnamdi Kanu. I guess if this silly writer and Nnamdi Kanu survivie the test of time, he will surely know Nnamdi Kanu. By the way, this goofy writer would not have known some characters mentioned on the sketch if Ojukwu had taken his defeatist approach to Biafra issues of the 60s.l

First of all, you did not need to quote the whole article to enable you all the expletives you learnt.
Secondly, address the parts of the article that you have an issue with.
That is how adults discuss and that is the essence of this thread.

athaboi:
what shall it profit u to deny ur tribe and claim to be igbo jst to discredit biafra struggle? Tufiakwaa

What is your understanding of biafra struggle?
Are you one of the Kanu deceived bunch?
The boy is just spewing hatred all over the place. Is that what you know to be Biafra struggle?

agitator:
Democracy to Dictatorship government

Are you always this silly?
How is that comment of yours related to the topic of discussion?

The itinerant luxury bus medicine dealer starts with prayers, sings choruses and sells fake ‘omnipotent’ drugs to both the sick and the healthy. He touts a particular knowledge of staphylococcus and expertise in improving watery sperms and weak erections. He will suggest his bag contains cures for every known disease. He will jump off the bus but not before he is done . He tells tales like the ‘zoo’ story, playing on the vulnerabilities of an impoverished and ignorant society.
The police escort on the bus stands aside and lets his aloofness authenticate the scam . The consequences will fall on pockets but more on public health. When they realize it is not benevolence the nomad has dropped off the bus. The sons of Sceva have taken center stage.
It is noble and often effective to ignore obnoxious attention seekers. But when rabble rousers show signs of lunacy they deserve attention. Because when speech comes to be filled with hate and incitement to violence , continuing silence becomes recklessness.
When the rabble is roused, devilry is afoot and typically dissent is not brooked. Soon Igbos whose opinions contradict radio Biafra and its reprobates will become enemies of the land, saboteurs or Efulefus (misfits).
And since hysteria occludes reason, fellow Biafrans , supposedly shackled by ‘zoo’ keepers , would be the first targets because , like the Hutus and their interahamwe theorized, an efulefu is worse than the real enemy.
Biafra should be sacred because at the cost of over a million lives with torture and horror on scales that make Rwanda pardonable , Biafra should be strictly ‘out of the reach of children’. Biafra should not be trivialized or desecrated, neither by conceited scoffers nor by peripatetic con men with confused minds and mobile radio transmitters.
When shadowy megalomaniacs given to flimsiness and gifted with volubility run out of life options but seek emergence from obscurity, nothing is sacred. You can wonder if they contemplated opening a church and selling fake gospel before opting for Biafra . Yes, shed anonymity like Simon the socerer , the man from Gitta, by holding people bound with spells of charm, magic and sophistry until those who can find them him out.
But I guess Igbo politics is so bereft of integrity and purpose and destitute of true apostles now that radio Biafra can continue with its sorcery for quite sometime . But the tragedy is that, like Simon who later took to following the apostles with magic in his pocket and greed in his heart, these latter day Biafran magicians insinuated themselves into Ojukwu’s politics, temporarily and only for ulterior interests.
Simon, the wolf, needed apostolic clothing . His flirtation with Christianity, like the pimps hawking Biafra, would yield money but will adulterate doctrines and values . There is no pogrom. Igbos are not under any life threatening siege. These hustlers are enticed by Ojukwu’s fame. Yet they wont form a political party as he did and mobilize the people. No. They do not even want a referendum. They want guns and bullets. They , with irritating nonchalance , say violence is unavoidable.
Their Biafra is a sham. Simon, like many fake pastors today, profited from hoodwinking the public, selling the counterfeit . Like fake pastors , these Biafran speculators do incalculable damage to the authentic concept by inviting mockery and scorn rather than belief, dignity and conversion. Radio Biafra has made a laughing stock of the Igbos.
Charlatans, whether on buses selling fake drugs or on Radio Biafra polluting Biafra , selling adulterated toxic freedom, can be charming. And many susceptible to razzmatazz succumb to the seduction of the false promise of paradise. Biafra is dear to many Igbos and is guarded jealously. Though perhaps a mere vent for ethnic chauvinism for those devoted to chest beating and superficiality.
For many thoughtful Igbos and many who saw the war or its aftermath, the attachment is more meaningful and deeply emotional. A struggle against murderous oppression. An excruciating toil to withstand death before a ‘no victor no vanquished’ gallant capitulation . A collective resolve to overcome annihilation, to grasp at freedom, to pursue greatness undeterred by staggering odds. Biafra is hope in the face of impossibility. Hopefully, the scar of a bad wound.
Igbos are sensitive to the contempt Biafra receives from others whose sense of patriotism or of conceit , as conquerors, mandate a disdain for the supposed vanquished and anything Biafra . All who cant help but see Biafra as real nuisance. As an impracticable fantasy , a manifestation of the perceived greed and domineering tendency of Igbos whose crude penchant for disregarding bounds of propriety is consuming.
These victors are often confounded by the egotism and vainglory they read in the attitude of Igbos towards Biafra, and the incongruous air of triumphalism they furnish themselves even from that defeat. When scorn is poured on Biafra rather than the fraudsters peddling its counterfeit , Igbos are forced into defensive sympathy with charlatans.
Only a few doubt that the breathtaking ingenuity , imagination , creativity and resourcefulness worthy of veneration that Biafra unveiled can be owned, even fleetingly, without feeling special. Biafra , in spite of the horrors, manages to leave some room for some nostalgia. Some still regret the loss of a greatness that could have been or that had begun. That wistfulness must be more harrowing 45 years after, ‘one Nigeria’ still imports toothpicks.
The susceptibility of some Igbos to the incantations of radio Biafra is not therefore totally inexplicable Biafra isn’t just unity and oneness , it is justice, moral justice. Because regardless of the interpretation that may be given to the events leading up to the pogrom , the pogrom in itself, in being allowed to fester unrestrained, in its scale , was egregious evil. Innocent everyday people hunted and disemboweled?
The pogrom made Biafra almost inevitable. Then the agony of dying and death of infants in state sponsored starvation . Asaba saw savagery that the Hutus in their murderous prime may not have matched. Recurrences of disturbances and dislocations have continued to grate scars. And persistence of injustice and lack of equity continue to make the idea attractive to many. And groups are morally and legally entitled to right to self determination. Biafra is not necessarily treason.
But true freedom fighters are easy to discern. Personal sacrifice, dedication, honesty to the course and painstakingness make freedom fighting not just arduous and valorized but a vocation not undertaken by flippant merry making fellows attending wild and wet parties thousands of kilometres from where the shackles are. It doesn’t start and end with delusions of grandeur and with threats of making Nigeria worse than Somalia .
A shallow , scheming , manipulator remarkable for overt opportunism and glibness cannot be a freedom fighter. A man of promise? A visionary rather than a scoundrel? Mbanu, no. And because the number of many lives and livelihoods needed to service these delusions , to catapult to a position of some influence , money and crumbs of power is subservient to such outsized ambitions , mania rather than sheer cruelty could be responsible.
Desperation impairs diligence and cautionary appraisal. When frustration and hopelessness engender or entangle desperation even a drug addict hallucinating in the right direction , any direction of remote promise, will be embraced. And they, his zombies, believe that Nigeria is a zoo. Yes impunity reigns here. But there is no lopsided distribution of social evils.
Prophecy has taken the place of philosophy, even in universities. And practicing atheists clothe their guiles with the refrain “ to God be the glory”. It does appear that any hallucinating youth , incapable of sobriety and self reflection let alone charity, can , if he chooses, become an emancipator, a messiah. Igbos have a God that is exclusively theirs, we are now told . Europe has a secret she wont admit – the realization of Biafra would end human existence. When he speaks red herrings, syllogisms, fabrications and confabulations tumble over themselves.
“ We are being deported and killed in Lagos. Our shops have all been burnt. So we need guns and bullets …… Everything happens in triangles, Hausa Fulani fixed Rochas in Owerri , once they take Uyo and Port Harcourt , we are finished “. He pauses and lets a sardonic smile create an impression of wizadry. Inscrutability is lent to the mundane to create mystery. Everything , blasphemy included, is done so barefacedly that cringing is forced on the audience.
Archbishops now sprout overnight, like weeds. So a depressed charlatan can look at himself in a mirror in London and see an emperor and look in the atlas, see Igbo land , and say “ Yes I can”. Yes, he is the leader of a new farce. The fellow whose pedigree needs some archeological excavation to unearth, in a society where even confessed fraudsters publish colourful biographies and flaunt their habitation of the National Assembly.
He remains deliberately as rootless as a ‘UFO’. But pedigrees and values and convictions are superfluities where vice competes with virtue for honors. The last time a similarly named apparition hovered around Abuja, he was choreographing a charade that was earnestly, in all honesty, yearning for servitude.
A Nigeria where equity and fairness reigns, where lives and property are sacrosanct, where potentials are maximized, is Biafran. It is not a sin, however, to seek self determination. It is not a sin to canvass iconoclastic political options and alternatives. But these endeavours must respect the rights of the collective enshrined in the constitution. Boko haram wants a sharia region and they could have gone about it sanely.
When greedy politicians recruited sharia to exploit the people they laid foundations for radical Islamic fundamentalism because they sold the counterfeit. They sought not societal transformation but private political profit. And that was why even boko haram managed to attract sympathy rather than blanket scorn in their early days. They came selling fake sharia. Things have gone full circle and the northeast is decimated.
March visited gnashing of teeth on may southern politicians . Let these politicians leave Biafra out of their intrigues. Ojukwu we know, Achuzia we know , Okpara we know, Mbakwe we know, Ekwueme we know, Nwabueze we know. But who are these? Sceva’s sons have arrived.

LoL. You never see anything o

Most Nigerian graduates are not employable. It is the sad truth.
Our educational system needs a total overhaul. From the goals of the system to the processes and the curriculum. It is not just an issue of funding.
Unfortunately, our leaders are too short sighted to address the issue.
If an issue does not directly relate to award of contracts they are oblivious to its relevance.

This attention seeking man.
You just don't spout anything that comes out of your mouth.
What are taxes for?
The tax we pay so far, has it been justified?
The problem is not a lack of money in the system, the issue is the siphoning of same by few barbarians. Until that is addressed no sane person will contribute more to the commonwealth. I pay almost 20% of my earning as tax yet i produce everything myself; light, water, security and the only thing i don't provide - roads are in a sorry state.

You have a lot of fans here, start your own blog and start posting your stuff there.

Your boss deserves a good beat down. I totally dtest people who take advantage of youths because they lack capital. Guy call out his name and your fans might help you treat his Bleep up on your behalf.

If he is not willing to mention the blogger, then the write up is pointless.
Besides he knew he was a scam artist yet he accepted to work for him.
What does that say about him?
