Speculations, true and true. She has denied it. Is this fake journalism or wicked journalism or both?

Where is the photo of the house?
Where is the receipt of purchase?
Assuming it is true (I do not believe it is), can the journalist say the source of the money?
When did she begin working for Nigeria in the current dispensation that she would have stolen billions
She worked for Nigeria several years ago, why was the fraud (if any) not discovered since she left?
This women worked in the WB for many years, where she earned above 300K USD pa
Her husband is a surgeon in the USA (not in Nigeria ohhh!!).

Her kids are working, writing books and earning dollars.

Why is it hard to get the whole facts out?

I do not live in Nigeria, so I do not know what is actually on the ground: theory is always different from practice
We know that the[b] OFFICIAL[/b] (theory) cost of fuel before the increase was 65 Naira
But we also know that the actual cost (practical) of fuel at the pump head before the increase will be more than 65 Naira in many places

So, before the increase, what has been your experience, say over a one year period?

How much was fuel sold in your state/city/town/village?

If it was more than 141 Naira (the new price), would you not be happy that the price actually reduced?

Good for the 14 cocoa-producing states in Nigeria
Namely:

Cross Rivers
Delta
Akwa Ibom
Imo
Abia
Ondo
Edo
Ekiti
Taraba
etc etc

Now cocoa is not oil that people cannot put in the ground. Anybody (from any other states where the climate permits) can grow cocoa. Enough of oil-dependency.

Importantly we should emphasize value addition (processing) to the raw products to get better forex

Say what you want. The fact still remains that when Nigeris sneezes, Africa catches cold

Keep deluding yourself.

The vehicle, together with the five suspects — Kofi Aboagye, 52; Sunday Eze, 38, a Nigerian from the Anambra State; Kwesi Asamoah, 29; Kojo Boafo, 38, the owner of the arms, and Samuel Amosu Taiwo, another Nigerian from the Ogun State — was arrested and sent to the Accra Central Police Station.When the Daily Graphic got to the Accra Regional Police Headquarters, police officers were offloading the arms from the truck. The truck had what looked like a compartment, with sheets of metal plate covering the ammunition.

But the arms belongs to the Ghanaian.

I have changed the title of this thread in agreement with the revelations by Hercules and Ekiti Bear.

Negro_Ntns:
Ndigbos are yet to learn and correct the errors of their fathers in the 60s and 70s.  The likes of Awolowo, Sardauna, Balewa, Akintola were front, right and left providing an umbrella of protection and cover to make sure their citizens"s welfare is not neglected in the interest of relating in the federal collocation.  On the other hand, Ojukwu and Zik left their own people vulnerable and unprotected, they were busy dipping their noses in the business in North and West and trying to always intervene and rescue a situation in other people region while their own is on fire.  

Look at these rascals on Nairaland the way they exhibit the same precise attitude about their homeland and citizens.  Yoruba and Hausa here in NL mind their business and talk about developments in their land.  Ndigbo never initiate any such rally around the homefront, instead they want to talk about Lagos, Ibadan, Kano, Kaduna.  This is an indication that if a war should erupt, your strategy for your homeland will not produce a different outcome than the one you had in 1970 at the end of the civil war.   Leave alone what others are doing, you have a home. . . focus on your own home.  Nobody will do the job of developing it for you, you alone are responsible for that.  Face Eastward, thats where your home is Nchara. . .

Are you such an ediot? When did ACN become a Yoruba party, or is it ? Anyways, you will have to burst through your PC and reach me with your juju to stop me from commenting howsoever I wish. You are a whining loser. Learn to live tolerably in the cyber world. This is not your 16th century Ibadan-Ijebu internecine wars, okay?

You of all people have no business asking me to mind my business. Do you want us to start from the beginning to see who has not been minding his business more? Hypocrite.

The One:
I find it particularly insulting when people attribute the Lekki toll gate protest to PDP. You mean I and hundreds of working class professionals who came out on that day are PDP members?

Anyways BRF\BAT should not think that issue is gone for good. They are next after this fuel subsidy issue. Good news is that people now understand how it feels to be oppressed when govt tells you you don't matter.

Thank God someone is alert to the fraud that ACN is

@hercules07.

Listen to Akanbi-Edu and stop humouring this bigot. You are wasting your time.  Look at thread post below from the point when he asked;

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=841726.msg9923116#msg9923116

Note the response he got and his conduct thereafter to understand Akanbi Edu assertion that there is nothing to discuss with people like Nchara. Stop wasting your time with someone who ask questions he already has bigoted answers to.

How much Tinubu/Fasola pay you for this cyber image laundry? The money go hook your throat and kill you ohhhh!

hercules07:
@Nchara

Woke up to read and this is what I get, to your first set of answers oya find below.

1) http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/07/fuel-subsidy-gulps-n1-3-trillion-in-2010/

2) http://business.whatitcosts.com/refine-oil.htm

3) Very funny, it is ACN running NNPC, Ministry of Petroleum and Armed Forces Abi, try another one.

4) So why do you blame ACN governors and others when they do not perform, afterall it is PDP's fault since they have ruled for far longer, if you work in a company as the MD and you are not able to perform in 1 year, will you blame your predecessor, abeg find something else to talk about.

On the ACN

1) As I have said, the ACN is far more than those people, they as individuals probably support the subsidy removal but as a party issued a statement that they are for the action, that is good enough for me.

2) Actually it was Igbos that claimed they were 40% of Lagosians that were reported to have voted for Goodluck, facts on ground showed that SW voted for Goodluck due to Tinubu's collabo with GEJ.

3) SW governors especially the ones taking over from PDP guys have met empty treasury, they need the money to develop their states, is that too difficult for you to grab? It all boils down to trust, something GEJ does not have from the masses, have you been to Yenagoa before? Alams outperformed GEJ in that place, imagine that.

4) On Fashola, people trust that he will do something with the money if given, but, they will not protest to Fashola because they know he is not the one that removed the subsidy, he can not do anything about the removal (even if he does not support it) and if eventually the subsidy holds he will do something with the money, now in order of preference, the masses will prefer that the subsidy removal be reversed and they are directing their anger at the appropriate authority. Fashola increased the cost of LASU fees and he has been feeling the heat, look at what PDP did with the Lekki toll gate issue.

@Negro and Akanbi

Let me humour him, I know Nchara is more into his PDP and Eastern stuff that he fails to see that these issues affect everybody, thank God that my Igbo friends feel differently.

1. Need corroboration from a number of different sources. This is sensitive matter and we know how our journalists report

2. Same as 1.

ACN governors and leaders secretly want subsidy removal. Hence they are not protesting it. They say something else in public to please their ignorant masses but do something else in secret. They were part of the governors forum that initiated the subsidy removal in the first place.

3. There are all shades of Nigerians in the NNPC. Remember only the MD is appointed by the president. What about other sub-heads? You saying none is ACN?
4. Where it occurs, I blame everyone in charge (all parties) for non-performance. You are trying to spin that GEJ has been there since Adam. I do not care what you say about PDP (I do not belong to any party, fyi) but won't let you tell lies and spins against a president who has hardly settled down to work.

ON ACN

What is a party without its leaders? Those guys missing in action are the faces of the party. Stop lying to yourself. ACN governors and leaders secretly want subsidy removal. Hence they are not protesting it. They say something else in public to please their ignorant masses but do something else in secret. They were part of the governors forum that initiated the subsidy removal in the first place.

The govs need the money to develop their states, yet last week they came in public to say they stand by their party's position on subsidy reinstatement. What kind of people do this double-faced stuff? Looks like ACN masses are real ignoramuses.

Anyways, come up with A better argument for the double-facedness and deceit of your party leadership. All of these don't wash with me.

guru01:
i dont see this protest as a peace one any more.

Peaceful in the SE and SS
Violent in the SW and North
May be its correlated with poverty levels and the avenue created by a supposedly legit protest to loot and extort for financial gains.

Bakare=son of Ekwensu
Son of Esu
Son of the devil

Any violent protester should be shot (in the leg)

Tinubu you are needed on the streets, not on the pages of your own newspaper which you established with STOLEN funds.

Enters the rogue himself
Watch you back folks, this guy Tinubu is a big rogue.

See people showing true leadership
CNPP chairman and former Gov of Kaduna state Abdulkadir Balarabe Musa leads protest on street. Let's see similar photos of ACN leadership.

http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news-update/32622-ex-governors-lead-petrol-subsidy-protests-in-kaduna.html

Protesters on Monday morning blocked the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway at Ibafo and Arepo, Ogun State.

Many road users had to turn back as the protesters blocked both sides of the expressway with truck tyres.

The police managed to push back the protesters at Ibafo and clear a path for vehicles to pass.

However, the police retreated within a few minutes and hoodlums took over the stretch between Magboro and Ibafo, extorting road users and smashing vehicles.

Earlier in the day, the hoodlums had smashed some transport vehicles conveying passengers to different parts of the country, saying they should have stayed at home.

http://odili.net/news/source/2012/jan/10/835.html

So they want to protest and want the police to allow them do so, but they cannot tolerate those not protesting and going about their legit businesses?

Negro_Ntns:
It is a good statement but misplaced.

Do you think if this was Hausa President sirtting in power, sorrounded left and right by Northerners, that he would not protect his people against terrorism in the South? Do you think if this was a Yoruba President sorrounded by Westerners left and right that he would not dispatch force against attacks on Yorubas in East or North? So why do we have a Southern President sorrounded left and right by Southerners and SouthEasterners and SEasterners are being killed in North, yet all he says is his government is handicapped because someone else is in control ? Why cant GEJ protect people in his own region like a Yoruba or Hausa president will want to do for people in their respective regions?

Like Obasanjo protected you when Hausa hacked you to death in Sagamu (2001) and then followed with a second wave of hacking in Kano and Jigawa. Some of you are quite shameless.

ACN, a bunch of double-faced Homo sapiens. Please send this article to the garbage bin.

Akanbi_edu:
hercules, Goodluck to you in wasting your precious airtime.

You can't even tolerate Hercules to discuss what he likes? All these cyber terrorists all over the place.

Negro_Ntns:
@topic,

The answer is simple! I will interprete what you asked. Why is WEST leadership not participating in the protest. There is a role for everyone. Street protest is not their role and so the Westerners acknowledge that. We would rather they dig down in the trenches and start formulating a Western emergence out of the chaos. If that's what they are doing, then they are perfectly serving the people in the role they are elected to perform.

In this time of chaos and when everyone is faced inward to their own regional trouble, you are wondering what West is doing when you ought to wonder what East is doing. Aren't you a fool? Have you seen any Westerner here wonder what you are doing in East, or what they are doing in North? We are independent and its time Igbo start acting independently. Look inward to your own problem. . . let others handle theirs.

By implication of this senseless response, ACN is a Yoruba (west) party, right? Okay. Thanks for confirming what we have been saying about ACN's range of influence. I hope Adams notices this.

If we are singled out for attack again, we shall no longer turn the other cheek but shall demand and eye for an eye

I do not see how any self-respecting person will fault this.

Have we finally seeing the new messiahs?

samstradam:
Your level of education is quite alarming, I mean if ever I saw a case for the reapplication of fuel subsidy funds to education, then here it is, kai!!!
SE=SS
Gowon= illiterate
SE= resource rich lol/ champion of resource control

Kai!!

Hhahaha! Have fun with NL. Are you new?
But seriously, Gowon was an ignoramus when he was in charge. That was why Ojukwu manipulated him in Aburi. He only went to school after he left govt.
Yes, the SE is resource-rich, as are other Nigerian regions. Tell me where you have a problem understanding here.
What is the problem is harnessing the resources.

vedaxcool:
this is sufficient for Mr. low IQ.

You are a self-pitying olodo rabata. Discussing with you is[b] debasing [/b]for me.

vedaxcool:
[b]go [/b]sleep, [b]mr. [/b]Low IQ, the bolded shows clearly that you are besides yourself!

Even, a simple sentence construction is beyond you. You see why I deem you an inferior, a sub human?

hercules07:
Let me pick holes in your argument.

1) 2010/2011 with Jonathan in Charge.
2) Between $0.30 and $0.60 per gallon
3) Corruption is the short answer, Jonathan has been in power for 5 years (abi was he not part of Yar'Adua's government)
4) Abeg na Jonathan, he is the President now, he has had enough time to fix the refineries
5) The borders are insecure all over the country, you think it is only land border that we have, what of the seas, by the way, have you seen the borders in the west as well, as porous as anything?
6) Jonathan again.

1. I don't believe you because you are of ACN the opposition party intent on sending the ruling party to the grave. Provide facts/document to support your claim.
2. Facts or independent corroboration needed here.
3. I said so already. Corruption from everybody, PDP, ACN, APGA etc; all Nigerians of all parties work in the federal ministries
4. You cannot blame GEJ for the mess of others. You will blame him for his own mess. He was Yaradua's deputy and we know that deputy presidents in Nigeria (and indeed elsewhere) are mere spare tyres. In America they don't say Biden's govt, they say Obama's govt).
5. Okay. Still the problem of the govt and fed govt workers involved in boarder security

vedaxcool:
remember I told you
I see you concur!

You are not capable of making sense. That virtue (making sense, I mean) is beyond you. You need a lot more mental development to undergo.

Responses

1. ACN as a party is protesting, ACN governors are not, they need money for development.
2. The answer is actually between the North and SW
3. Not True. You do not need to be a member to vote ACN afterall PDP won presidential elections in the SW.
4. That is true, the governors need the money.
5. That is partially true, the ACN governors need the moneys to develop their states, that is in the interest of the masses protesting.
6. That is untrue, the position of ACN governors is clear, they want subsidy removal for development of their states, SW people know where the governors stand, the only reason that the protest has not been directed at Fashola and other SW governors is because there is still an element of trust, they trust the governors to do something with the money, the problem with GEJ is there is no trust.
You see, it is not too difficult to speak the truth.

1. Big fat lie. I need to see photos of Tinubu, Mohammed Lawal, Akande and other ACN officials protesting. Those are the faces of ACN. Stop hiding under the masses of SW, some of whom are PDP and others unaffiliated.
2. Okay.

3. Why do you guys really stand? Today some of you claim only Igbos and other non-SWners in the SW voted for GEJ? Tomorrow others of you claim you voted for him. Why do you choose and drop the exact same position under different conditions? You have accused us of voting in a ''retardeen''. Now do you agree that you also voted in the same ''retardeen''

5. How can the governors not be protesting (because they need the money ''to develop the masses'') yet the same masses are protesting that the money should be taken back? How senseless can this get?

6. How can you trust Fasola to do something with subsidy money yet you protest against the subsidy removal that will bring in the money? Where is the commonsense?

And you say ACN is not playing politics with its ignorant masses?

You have failed woefully, try again.

vedaxcool:
I see your IQ is at par with that of a cassava eating chimpanzee, after-all, as the imbecil lurking in your forsaken brain, failed to inform your idocity that the stateent was made with Short and medium term in mind, to which I indctae, f00l that the Ibos might have to serve the NDeltans to make their land - lock life better, yet being with a low IQ, you immediately opend you battered brain to explain what exactly? real was already taking of fighting over land with the NDeltans because even with his poor sense, he knows the short term implication, the NDeltans would be too rich to even need acess fee charge from the Ibos, hence they can simply decide to relive the Civil war and demand incredible cost for the land lock east to import basic material, infact I assure, you will simply be living frying pan to fire, I think then the SE might consider demonstrating for subsidy from the SS   , the fact remains the short term life for the east is hardly looking great after all!

You are grossly incoherent. What are you blabbing here?
Can you make yourself more understandable?
