one sided fight against corruption or not, there is a new consciously now among public officers not to blatantly take money. No one is sure what money is a set up and which one is real and with the EFCC becoming hyper active, no one wants his name mentioned at all if it can be avoided. If that is the gain of the so called witch hunting, then we are taking baby steps towards our goal rather the highway speed away from it hitherto.

well call it baby step, its a move in the right direction. A new born baby learns to sit before crawling, take a step and then walk. If we have been able to start baby steping in our war against corruption then I think its just a matter of time before we start walking. They can call it one sided or witch hunt. The war must continue, sanity and probity must return to this country.

omenka:
Smh. Here we are, the same judiciary doing what they do best.

Another evidence of the extreme corruption in the judiciary, this time, thankfully, being promoted by a known PDP governor.

Some of these judicial officers need to have their heads chopped off honestly. Amidst swirling allegations of corruption and crises rocking the judiciary, these plonkers still have the guts to open their arms to anyone willing to grease them!

Is their any point at which the conscience of these folks tell them to "pause" and ponder on the righteousness of their conduct at all?? Haba!!

Yet, when these stuffs are thrown up which should incur the anger of any well meaning Nigerian, some irredeemable nincompops bounce around shouting "what about abc,xyz, who used 1trillion to sink a borehole"??

Nigeria is in dire need of salvation honestly.

thank you, I think there is more covert corruption in the judiciary than anyother arm of government. The point remains that we nigerians must stand up and fight it to a standstill. It has nothing To do about whether we hate Buhari or not. It is about supporting him to flush this evil that eaten up our national life out of uS. Some people who doesn't wnt anything good for this country will come and tell us that arresting judges is a rape on rule of law.

segalex:

I personally feel we Nigerians don't know what we want, today we shout rule of law tomorrow we want the president to truncate the same rule of law in order to favour our cronies.
As much I'm not holding brief for Buhari, I think the bulk of the blame here should be laid at the doorstep of mimiko and his faction.
Jimoh Ibrahim went to court and the court of law ruled that he's the right candidate (whether rightly or wrongly), what should the inec do in such a case? Disobey the court order when there was no contrary judgement to that effect?
Why didn't JEGEDE challenge or appeal that court order until after the final list by inec?
Will we be happy if inec should announce JEGEDE as the right candidate while a valid court order says otherwise? Will that not be contempt of court on the part of inec?
I think we should always put sentiment aside when we analyse issues because that's the only way we can move forward in this country.
Why would mimiko run to PMB? Was it to order inec to go against a valid court order? Doesn't that show that we all expect the PMB to be the alpha and the omega in this country? Aren't we encouraging the occupant of that seat to continue to see himself as being too powerful even above the constitution by our actions and/or in actions?

am in total support of your post bro, the prejudice and biase mind we have in this country is our greatest problem. Everything is right if it is not in our backyard, when that same thing comes to our backyard it becomes an anomaly. That is ridiculous. This abang judgement didn't come today and if mimiko saw no reason to appeal it and it bounced back at him, it is totally his problem. This is an entirely PDP internal affair, let them solve it. Pls let's stop dragging APC and Buhari into every issue in the polity. Am not holding brief for them, buh we need and must be objective in our analysis of public affairs. That iS the only way forward for we Nigerians.

It gives me much joy seeing life and normalcy return to Bama and the northeast. They shall be great again and Nigeria will be better off.

Bloomberg is one of those who never supported the emergence of this government. They publish what will tarnish the image of the country under Buhari. Yet in all their publications I have not seen where they said anything that will help the nation. I think its high time when we nigerians stopped listening to the negativities of this recession and focus on those things that will get us out of it and also have the believe and confidence that we will get out of it and be better off. Let's not continue to cause more tensions, as there are much tensions already. As for bloomberg and other media houses who see nothing good in our country, I dnt care about them. I know this country will be great and I will be a partaker.

This Ethnic bigotry will never take us anywhere, rather it will lead to Ethnic cleansing. Can't we just make our comments and opinion without being prejudiced with ethnic background.

Dino cannot do anytyn for his constituency. That's why he said his constituency will stone him and he is putting all the blame on another person. We also need to know if those plagues were given on merit or bought by him.

15 billon dollars missing from arms fund,

12. 7 billon naria for deceased NEPA staff grow winds and disappeared,
20 billion dollars missing from NNPC accounts,
23 billon naira as bribe to INEC staffs to rig the general election, the list is endless. They only left what they cant carry or unable to lay their hands on..The list continues..
Recession didn't just happen, people stole it into happening....

Now HEAR THE THIEVES

1- I acted based on Jonathan instruction- Dasuki

2- I didn't give order- Jonathan

3- I collected 350M from Dasuki for consultation- Iyorchia Ayu

4- I only collected $30,000 from Dasuki not N100m- Bode George

5-I got N4.6b from Dasuki for spiritual purposes- Bafarawa

6-I got N650M from Dasuki for my Abuja burnt office- Thisday Obaigbena.

7-I got N2.1b from Dasuki for publicity- Dokpesi

8- I got another N100m from Yuguda he didn't tell me from where- Bafarawa

9- I gave N100m each to Odili, Jim Nwobodo Bode George and others- Yuguda

10- The president asked me to change N10B to foreign currency for PDP delegates- Dasuki

11- My boss asked me to get $11M from the CBN- Dasuki account officer.

12- I got order from above to pay Tompolo N13B for Maritime university land.- Nimasa DG.

13- 950m was shared in my house-- shekarau

With all this looting and many more revealed some people are still shouting no sign of change yet, they even say it's political persecution.

But I believe, it is the right thing to do.
If you believe too, enlighten other people to garner more support for the fight against corruption and looting in our nation. There must be consequence for crime otherwise Nigeria will not develop.

when you take away this amount of money from the treasury, why won't we be in recession.

If the ijaws gave igbos identity through jonathan, it means igbos have no identity at all. Obi is a total shame to the igbo race for saying that. Ndigbo should wake up and be alive to making the world know that jonathan failed the igbos and Nigerians at large. Most times I wonder why the igbos support jonathan the way they do, even more than the ijaws. IGBOS. Wake up

The only flop on that list is Dalung, he doesn't even know his job description and maybe adebayo shittu and aisha alhassan. The others are not flops.

A proud son indeed, he won't Even be at hi fathers burial And you call him a proud son. May you have a proud son who will be a fugitive all his life. RIP to the dead.

I just raise my hart for anambra government. This is what we are talking about, we must be self sufficient in those things we can produce. Am glad anambra is taking the lead in the south east.

A step in the right direction. Paying our counterpart funds for project in the country shows that we are serious about infrastructure in the country. The pains now might be much, but I have no doubt that we are on the right part. Good one Amaechi.

May God bless you and your patiotism for this country. You are one of the few wealthy nigerians who is championong local production. We will Get there.

Jorussia:
The current CHANGE is not a scam,even though there is an ongoing economic hardship which i believe is temporary.

. Yes, the reason why its seems like people are not feeling the impact of this government is because of the increase in the prices of foodstuffs. It is a temporary effect that requires patient.

erico2k2:

If you wash your face proper and check a reason why the Fg should spend the small monies we have on searching for crude up the NE basin, you will give up hope

In as much as I believe that this is not the time to search for crude in the NE, its not enough reason for us to lose hope. We just entered recession and we want to lose hope of a recovery, how then do we intend to come out of it. A lot is being done but like I said its just a matTer of time before we see the effects. We are not the only oil producing nation experiencing this pain. We are even a bit lucky. Let's exercise some patient.

HAH:
Very good, clearly the hardship we are going through is making us think out of the box, this was how China becane a superpower.

Just imagine the value of dollar when we have self sufficiency in Rice,wheat, and Sugar then Dangote crude oil refinery starts operations, as the CBN said 75% of dollar demand are for petrol, rice, wheat and sugar.

I bet dollar will be atleast N100

. The reason why the dollar is on the high is because of the excess demand for it. We uSe it to import things we can produc.

krazykoons:
The current woes and pains Nigeria is going through will surely be the catalyst needed to speed up the industrialization of the country,people are quick to forget that before countries like China got on their feet through the cultural revolution led by chairman Mao,many Chinese lives were in discomfort but look at where China stands presently among the comity of nations.

. Am glad there are still people out there who believe that we are heading the right way and that the pains of today is making us think out of the box to profer solutions to our numerous problems. I know for sure that this change is for real and we will get there

erico2k2:

We pray, but my question for you is,if situation remain same or worse 2019, what would you say
cos today the £ went to N505, nah die be that. meaning its almost impossible to buy anything from the UK

. Am not happy with the whole situation either. We must know why we are where we are now. The shortage of foreign currency caused by both internal and external factors are the reasons for that. We must therefore put in place measures that will reduce our over dependence on those things that we require foreIgn currency for, especially in areas where we have comparative advantage. That I believe the government has started and its just a matter of time before we begin to see the effect. This will certainly not Get to 2019, Quote me on dis.

Lighthouseman:

Of course they are changing for the worse... Even innocent chickens are affected... Their meals are now rationed, a mudu of sugar now 600.
What does this tell you?
Back to the days of ESSENTIAL COMMODITIES...
IF things don't change, you may have to queue to buy this same rice you are celebrating.

. Well, I know d pains of the years of mismanagement won't go away in a day, buh am so sure it won't laSt so long and it certainly won't Get to that point.

I wonder why we Africans, especially
Nigerians always want to have everything in
the short term. We are inimical to waiting
patiently with our sights on the outcome in
the long run to see things turn around and
sustaining it. For us, any thing that doesn't
happen kiakia is a failure.
I'm so happy that the current recession has
sent a lot of people back to the land- I just
came back from Osun, where I met quite a
lit of young people who have left the cities
to come and plant Cucumber, Cassava,
Maize, Pineapple and Plantain and already
excited by the prospective yield and the
profit.
You need to see what us happening in
Venezuela, an oil producing country like
ours that was totally dependent on oil. Over
50,000 Venezuelans crossed into Colombia
because of hunger. We are still surviving
here, albeit in pains, bu seeing signs of a
hopeful recovery.
Let's keep praying and supporting initiatives
like this that we ensure our sustenance in
the long run and make Nigeria great gain

I support your point, we Are too impatient in this country. Buh I know it will be good.

@Lighthouseman, according to you, if jonathan projects who spent six years is just materializing. How come you expect a government that have not spent two years to fulfill its campaign promise. You just shot your foot. All I know is that things will take CHANGE.

Ike Ekwerenmadu Is from Enugu state and one expect him to make a clear and decisive statement about this herdsmen attack in Enugu, considering the fact that he is the deputy senate president. Am surprised at what he is not doing or saying anything meaningful.

Good move, igbos should stop looking at the central. Let's look inward and solve our problems. I just hope it won't b politicized. The development of igboland should go beyond party affiliation. May God help us.

Its a pity how people allow bigotry and hatred to becloud their sense of judgement and reasoning. The president has the right to seek special powers at this critical point of our economy. Most of what the bill wants to achieve is part of the problem of the economy. Who doesn't know the problem of the procurement act which delays contract executions in the country,also the issue of contract mobilization and the money in UBEC lying idle while our schools are decaying and others. The president has moved in the right way, I even expect the national assembly to cut short their recess and reconvene, the economy is in recession, no time for holiday on their part. This government will get it right, the pains won't last, that am sure of.

I think APC ShoulD nt talk about imposition or zoning. What. Should be uppermost in their is how to win the election. ThEy. Should look more at voting strenght Of the various diStrict before picking. A candidate.

@Henry boyo, thank you for the insight analysis of the inherent disadvantages of devaluing the Naira. Its only those who are not in tandem with the Nigerian economy and state of the naira that is calling for its devaluation. Someone should please tell the louded mouth governor fayose that the issues of the naira and our economy is not an issue that is handled at Garages where his colleagues are, but a national issue that require the input of reasonable people like boyo. Fayose can contribute any day he becomes refined.
