I don't know why I read this guy's name as BalaRAPE musa every time.

you must be a Timaya fan

A former Kaduna State governor, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, has alleged that the claim by former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, that she is receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment in the UK was inspired by her fear of being probed by President Muhammadu Buhari, Daily Independent reports.

The Second-Republic governor wondered why Alison-Madueke never took ill throughout her tenure as Minister but suddenly became critically ill after the defeat of former President Goodluck Jonathan and the insistence of his successor, Buhari to probe and recover all looted funds.

He expressed optimism that there is no way the former Minister can escape the long arm of the law if found guilty, with the assurance given by the US, UK and other world powers to help Nigeria recover her looted funds.

According to Musa “How come she suddenly took ill when Buhari took over as president? She is trying to run away from justice but I strongly believe that she can’t evade it. Justice will definitely catch up with her, because right now, countries like the United States and the United Kingdom have promised the government of Nigeria that they will help us recover our stolen money stashed in their country”.

“If they are honest and sincere about doing that, it means it will make it easy for the federal government to get her back into the country to face justice”.

Musa, who is also a rights activist, pleaded with Western countries to stop harbouring any corrupt officials and be willing to repatriate them upon demand by the Nigerian government to answer questions about their stewardship while in office.

“They can’t say they will help Nigeria to recover stolen money but at the same time they will habour the suspects in their country or refuse to assist the federal government in bringing them to Nigeria to face justice,” he stated.

Obasanjo: But take Ngozi (Okonjo-Iweala), who worked for me. And who worked competently for me. Because I know Ngozi’s weaknesses, but I know her strong points. Her strong point is technical competence. But Ngozi needs to be led and to be supervised. Now will you comment on Ngozi who worked for me as the same Ngozi who worked for Jonathan? Will you? But it’s the same person.

Chai! Baba get bad mouth!

In short here is the difference:

During Baba's regime, NOI was well led and supervised by Baba b4 she could do the great job that she did.

While under GEJ's leadership, instead of NOI to be led and supervised by GEJ, it was the other way round. NOI had to lead and supervise GEJ

#ProudlyWailingForABetterDemocracy

this wailing na for 8yrs o! You go fit cope?

Lalasticlala, this thing neva ripe for FP?

francizy:
I find it rather amusing when the likes of midolian and passingshot make kiddish statements like: the fear of Buhari revived the power sectors and fixed the refineries. Where has it ever been heard that the fear of someone built something? I find that statement rather uncalled for as these two peeps including others who supported their statements may be well over 30..

By the way, Buhari is presently riding on the goodwill of our economic destroyers and thus enjoying GEJ's layed down foundation. If he ever steps foot in a direction contrary to what his owners want, they will crumble his government within a twinkle of an eye..

francizy, u mumu no be small o! The problem with our oil and power sector is nothing but corruption as we all know...During GeJ's regime, I am sure u remember these words of the NNPC

"We examined the work scope and picked up the essential things that we must do to get these refineries to operate optimally at around 90 per cent of capacity. That was done and we did the pricing template; not the international rates, we used the local rates. And everything for the three refineries combined came to around $550m, which is significant, maybe up to 70 per cent reduction."

“Even the $550m is quite much. So, we amortised it over 18 months so that we will be able to swallow it in bits more easily. The 18 months started since last October and this means that early next year, the refineries should be in shape."

http://www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/nigerian-engineers-to-repair-refineries-for-n99bn-nnpc/ this was in Feb. 2015..
Now, can u explain what happened overnight?

Power sector?;,,If u claim GEJ revived the power sector, why didn't it work under GEJ? You see, the problem with our power sector is nothing but corruption. The problem with our power sector was the corruption in the transmission sector that was left unchecked. Buh since Buhari came into power, things have changed. No one wants to be the scape-goat. So they had better fixed it b4 Buhari gets to know this...And this is our reason for saying, "its the fear of Buhari".

Just as a friend rightly said, Generation isn't really the problem but transmission and distribution.

Great move!

Chai! Cilla, the world will miss you..

Yeah! It kills.... Same way it'll kill y'all for hating on GEj...

oh! Now, u are talking. Its all about revenge, right? ..This is more of the reason why u shld never be taken seriously

foxxynik:
What a Dauran!.... BH are killing people out there and what dis dullard knows how to do best is "order" and will snore on those audits!

Hatred kills!

On his watch, President Buhari wants to see firm action against those who violate extant financial regulations, not the prevarications and shenanigans that went on in the past in the form of endless probes and public inquiries,

When the head is good,...

This is good news..I know very well that in few months to come, boko haram menace will be gone like yesterday.

Temitemi1, I see you

kodded:
kudos to the dullard of northern nigeria

Badbelle, I see u too

PRYCE:
I know bout all the points you mentioned! And I acknowledge that Nigerians Have got this mentality of unflinching loyalty to the 'hands that feed me' ( Gov't of the day) Infact NOT ONLY NIGERIANS.... I'm yet to see a Gov't official around the world that openly condemns his principal or the body he heads.


Badeh has his problems for sure but what you're saying is far different from 'the northern genocide' this Northerner's purporting.


What you pointed out was Badeh's incompetence....!

I Agree with you to an extent..buh bro, it is "incompetence" on one part, and it is another thing on another part. We can't overlook or hide Badeh's flaws under the shade of "incompetence". What I am saying isn't totally different from what Gubio said. The man said, from the statement Badeh made, it gives him away to have deliberately led innocent soldiers to their early grave, and to have caused the death of many north-easterners concurrently(GENOCIDE). If the soldiers can say they were ill-equipped and Alex Badeh could come out to deny it..and subsequently leading some other soldiers to the war front with the first-hand knowledge of the situation of things, what should we call that? You and I know if the soldiers are not well equipped in times like that, it means the civilians are jst dead pple awaiting burials.

Bro, this is human lives we are talking about. Gubio isn't wrong to have said all he said.

MizMyColi:
I don't know if a topic such as this has been discussed on here, but I'm piqued as to the reason I, and many others (I'm sure) now have almost constant power supply. Did NEPA (sic) forget where they usually switch off the light? (Pun intended).

I would like to glean from the insights of those who have first hand knowledge on what went wrong earlier, and what is going rightly this time.

Your views are welcome.

you and I know the reason behind this. For once MizMyColi, say "Sai Buhari" pls

ahaz:
seun it's high time you ask people of their psychological status before they post a thread pls

brother, are u high? This is a post with a source! If I don't post it here, some others will..and if not here, some other places. If you don't like the news, why not move to the next thread

PRYCE:
And do you agree with him Mallam Midolian?



I schooled in UNIMAID and can categorically tell you that what happened in 2009 when Boko Haram started under Yar'Adua can't be described By mere words! So Yar'Adua should be resurrected and face justice too Since it was his people he was killing!

Honestly I strongly agree with him. Badeh should have made this known b4 the expiration of GEJ's regime. Badeh gave Nigerians hope by words of the mouth when he was in power.

The day the man vowed Boko will be history was when the Chibok girls were abducted. Fast forward to a week or so, the man said he knows where the chibok girls are buh doesn't want to use force to rescue them...(well, this is not really a problem)

Lemme also remind u that Alex badeh announced a ceasefire deal in Oct. 2014 which the Boko boys never asked 4. Hmm, could this be owing to his incompetence? Or could there be more to this? Only time will tell

Do I still need to remind you of those soldiers that were charged for mutiny cos they complained of not bn well equiped? How did Badeh and co react to this? ...In short, the big question is, Why is he just saying this now?

Sometimes I wonder what gave Alex Badeh the guts to make that kinda confession. Was he drunk? And mayb he jst doesn't know the implication of all he said on that day

This man gleefully announced on October 5, 2014, a fake "cease-fire" deal with the bloodthirsty boko Haram. He should have known that terrorist groups like shekau's have no respect for a cease-fire that they didn’t ask for...

He also said in an interview few weeks later that the military was well equipped. This truly means Badeh and jona and co fooled us all along . http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/badeh-we-will-win-this-war-against-terror/180436/

Gubio is so on point

A Borno elder, Dr Bulama Mali Gubio, has called for the prosecution of the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, at the International Criminal Court, ICC, for deliberately leading an ill-equipped military that allowed Boko Haram terrorists to massacre thousands of lives in North-east Nigeria.

Gubio said he was not in any way impressed with the belated confession of the former CDS.

The retired tehcnocrat, a former head of the Borno State civil service, insisted that it was very disappointing that Badeh, who is from the North-east, would deliberately collude with the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan to sanction the killings of his own people by not voicing out the fact that the Nigerian military under his command had no requisite equipment to tackle the Boko Haram insurgency.

“My personal view and comment on the pronouncement of the former Chief of Defence Staff is that we are very much surprised that AVM Alex Badeh who is from the North-east would act in the manner he did during his time as Nigeria’s defence chief.

“If he knew that the military under his command was ill-equipped, he should have since voiced out his concerns. But he kept quiet and refused to talk! We all knew how our stateqA governor, Kashim Shettima, was nearly removed as the then presidency and even the military were threatening total state of emergency on Borno and so on, all because he came out to state the truth. It was God that saved Borno at that time,” Gubio stated.

According to him, Badeh had accepted that he deliberately led a military without ammunition in the war against Boko Haram, meaning, according to him, that he colluded with the government of former president Jonathan to watch the people of the North-east massacred by Boko Haram.

“It was really sad that when our governor was crying out that his people were being killed mercilessly by Boko Haram terrorists because Boko Haram had better equipment than the Nigerian soldiers, the military under Alex Badeh’s command as well as the government of former president Jonathan were busy denying it.

“There is no two ways about it; he (Alex Badeh) deliberately presided over an ill-equipped military. So, we call on President Muhammadu Buhari to take up this matter as voluntarily presented by Alex Badeh and join it with the indictments made in the Amnesty International reports on Boko Haram, to ensure that he and others that were so indicted face trial at the ICC. They have to explain to the world why the people of Borno particularly, and the North-east in general were allowed to be so massacred,” he said.

Interesting one from the PDP!

Op...u have narrated a long story...what is ur point

This long story was written by ya brother from imo state. Read and get some sense from it

Every line in this article makes sense. I dont even know which to color and embold and which not to, to save the time of the lazy readers(like u) even though I tried. Everything is jst worth ya time.

Biafra is not the Igbo nation, but the Igbo nation was part of Biafra. I think those agitating for BIAFRA should clearly state what Biafra is. And to make Biafra a reality, all Igbo speaking and non-Igbo speaking Easterners (SS/SE), who were part of the original Biafra must be involved. Otherwise we are mistaking the Igbo nation for Biafra. The circumstances that led to the declaration of Republic of Biafra cannot be wished away; and that was why the region as it were gave Ojukwu their support and looked up to him. And there is the general view that there was sabotage from non-Igbo speaking members of that union.

Nigeria as a nation has come a long way after the civil war. In reality, as much as we want to deny it, there has been much more integration among and within ethnic nationalities in Nigeria after the war. Be that as it may, I am proudly Igbo and can`t exchange my “Igboness” with anything else. But I think we are better off in a prosperous Nigeria. Igbos has sacrificed a lot to get Nigeria to its present state and we would be short-changing themselves to leave and then start nursing another country. Fortunately or unfortunately, the Igbo man has helped in developing other parts of Nigeria where he lives than he has developed Igboland. So we cannot be building and developing businesses all over Nigeria and not Igboland yet clamour for a country in a region that has no economic base whatsoever. Maybe we think it is buying and selling in Aba and Onitsha that will determine our economic prosperity as a nation.

Let’s forget our unalloyed support for former President Goodluck Jonathan; our people were entitled to their conscience and whoever they want to support. But the truth is that there is mutual distrust between the core Igbos and our Riverine neighbours, who incidentally are Biafrans as well. But are they ready to go along this revival of the Biafran nation? If yes, then that’s a starting block. But their body language does not suggest that. Therefore the result of the agitation will now be a Republic of Igboland and not Biafra.

Inasmuch as we complain of marginalisation, there have always been Igbo sons and daughters around our “oppressors” who are only interested in personal gains. Have we got real and charismatic Leaders in the mould of Ojukwu, Azikiwe, Okpara, or even Sam Mbakwe in Igboland now? Maybe one can say Ekwueme and Anyaoku, but those ones without disrespect are almost past their prime presently in terms of the physical rigour required to lead a new nation. We are likely going to be between the rock and hard surface.

And if that is the case, we will now be a landlocked nation, surrounded on every corner by Nigeria. Do we even have enough space for everyone coming back? My mind runs back to chaotic situations during Christmas and festive periods. Let no one deceive you, life will be pretty more difficult economically than we might imagine. And because there are no industries in Igboland, even our “traders” will have to pay the only country surrounding us to bring in goods. There needs to be collective and intelligent thinking here.

I strongly believe that we are marginalised, or are meant to believe. Most developments, which are phenomenal, in Igboland are individual and community funded. That is why the Igbos are the only region doing one launch after the other, one fundraising after the other to bring basic amenities to the people. I know Igbo students have to endure high cut off points to gain admissions into schools and Universities. I know, and I personally suffered this, that our names alone rule us out of some jobs in Nigeria. But we have to unfortunately accept the fact that this was compounded after the war. Igbos were in high and mighty places before that period and deservedly the first of this or that in the army, police, business, politics etc. We have gradually built ourselves to that level and beyond. It is not our fault that whatever we lay our hands on prosper, even in the face of oppression. But agitating to be move on alone with some of the reasons being postulated is like playing the victim always. We are part of our marginalisation. Where are our Igbo leaders and politicians?

The probable Igbo nation’s leaders are the present day governors, senators, National Assembly members, etc. Your guess is as good as mine on their capabilities. Let’s be sincere with ourselves, in the 16 years of PDP government in Nigeria the only position Igbos did not hold was just the Presidency. We have had about five Senate Presidents, Deputy Senate President, Deputy Speaker, the Army chief, Immigration boss, the Prisons boss, Central Bank governor, ministers in key ministries of Power, Finance, Education, Petroleum, and Health. What has Igboland got to show for these positions other than installation of one chieftaincy title or the other? As much as the majority of our complaint are genuine, we are part of the problem as well.

The Igbos should not shy away from requesting what is due to them. The Igbo politicians should fight for the Igbo cause in Abuja, no one from another tribe will do it for us. But to me that should be within the Nigeria nation, in a prescribed and orderly manner.

I am of the opinion that the Igbos’ should continuously agitate not to be marginalised or side-lined in the scheme of things in the Nigerian federation. We should shout it to the roof tops without being violent when over a dozen-and-half political appointments are made and no Igbo person is there; when other regions have at least six states each and the South-East has only five. You are entitled to use any radio station at your disposal to alert the world of the vindictive actions of the government against the race.

Marginalising Igbos is a sad reminder of a war mentality; of people who have been “defeated.” And it can only lead to agitations and more agitations for sovereignty.

So the present government should be addressing the anomalies that are making the Igbo seek to go it alone. Let there be a level playing ground for all Nigerians.

In agitating for Biafra, we should be careful what we wish for and give it thorough thinking. Igbos fought a war, lost the war, lost a million people, lost properties in several cities of Nigeria. And these are things we should never lose again. Igbos are dynamic and very mobile people; the large Nigeria nation enables us to express our ingenuity and doggedness. Igbos have invested a lot in making Nigeria what it is today. Inter-ethnic marriages, business and personal relationships have been built across the bridge, and we cannot not wish these away.

Let us think before we take this Biafra issue further. Let us study South Sudan, Eritrea, Ukraine before we plunge into the lake of ice or fire.
