CeaserB: Maybe in your own terms all deaths must be suspicious then? A cardiac arrest is not an uncommon death, even if is, an autopsy should be carried out before pointing accusing fingers at a man simply because he was away when his wife died.For your own sake, please learn to read before responding to posts - I have zero tolerance for dullards. I suppose you were taught in school that "I find it interesting" = pointing an accusing finger. Go and find fellow dummies to respond to, I'm done with you. |
CeaserB: God Forbid This Happens; What if you received a call that your wife suddenly collapsed while you were "conveniently" sent on an overseas assignment by your boss. You or maybe your boss should be held responsible for not keeping her company all the time in'it?Stop being unnecessarily emotional like a sex starved effeminate. In civilized societies, all unusual deaths are investigated and in cases such as this one, family members are automatic suspects, or shall we say, persons of interest. If you were to die mysteriously, lets hope your cause of death is revealed and if foul play was involved, lets hope the culprits would pay for the crime. mumu |
If this story is true, one would hope that the President's security operatives would have obtained this name from Sani by now. I really do not believe that our President wants to resolve this BH issue. All hands are not on deck and that condition seems OK by the President. Here are the parties who are not on the table, former Presidents, NASS, other key people like Sani, our foreign friends ( USA, Israeli, and yes, the Saudis). SMH |
May her soul RIP. I add that this kind of death is not consistent with what is expected to happen to any family member of a man of God, but I suppose God knows best. I'd recommend that an autopsy be performed to determine the real cause of death. If it is cardiac arrest, since this woman did not show any prior sign of illness and her family is informed enough to have been having periodic medical checkups, the real cause of the cardiac arrest should be determined. Without suggesting anything, I find it interesting that the husband was conveniently out of the country when the tragedy took place. |
bayooooooo: 1. Notwithstanding the wordings of section 88, the summon is not applicable to the office of the president until a competent law of jurisdiction rule otherwise. In law, any doubt at all put an irremovable question mark on the whole stuff. Let's take for example a similar imbroglio between Obasanjo and Atiku when Atiku declared for Advanced Congress of Democrats and later emerged as the presidential candidate of Action Congress. Based on the wordings of constitution, Obasanjo as the leader of PDP declared his seat Vacant. The rest as they say is now history.Let me first state that there is nothing wrong with inviting the President, but to do so with a tone of arrogance or disrespect to the office of the President or his person, would be outright wrong and ill advised. The way and manner the leadership of House of Reps went about the summon was not proper, in my view, and smacks of arrogance - the kind of arrogance exhibited by thieves wey don belle full and have lost their minds. Having said the above, under the powers of NASS to appropriate money, the lawmakers have the constitutional right and indeed duty to summon anybody to come before it for explanation. In this regard, since the House of Reps has the powers to appropriate money for security, it follows that it has the powers to call on Mr. President to explain certain issues that have to do with lives and security of the people of Nigeria, under section 88 and 89. Additionally, the three arms of government are equal and under the principle of checks and balances in the constitution, the House is empowered to summon the president in time of national crisis as we have found ourselves with the current security situation. In my humble opinion, this is not the time for the executive arm to be fighting the legislative arm in court over petty issues such as this. We are at war by all standards, and every arm of the government must join hands and fight this war together if we want to win. Bayooooooo, you state that notwithstanding the wordings of section 88, the summon is not applicable to the office of the President. It appears as if the President and the AG do not believe as you do. If they did, they would simply ignored the summon. I submit to you that the President is going to court to claim that this particular summon is invalid but not that the President is exempted from summons by the House of Rep. In due time, we'll find out the real deal. This is my last post on this issue. as una dey here dey argue, another $10million don disappear from our treasuries, both from inside hole wey dey inside NASS accounts and de ones wey dey for Aso rock accounts. dalu o ![]() |
This story is unbelievable and probably inaccurate. The fools who are unable to trace BH sponsors and their leaders now want us to believe that they were able to link a measly N1million to Al Quaeda. SMH |
ezicat: Wow, such repetitive arguments^^^+100 |
The government needs to stop this kind of civil rights abuse against our young people. Why don't they parade the youths who have been given full scholarships to higher institutions? The should be parading the BH sponsors who we were told are known to the government officials and whose names we were promised are going to be released. What nonsense!! |
Gbawe: Entirely correct perspective. Balanced Nigerians who see the big picture, vis-a-vis the characters involved, can only look on in shame at how majority of Nigerians, with their susceptibility to being 'played', have once again been divided and conquered easily to the extent they only fight each other while taking side with one crook (Lawan) or the other (Otedola) with the substantive issue now forgotten i.e bringing to book the fuel subsidy scammers and all those involved in getting Nigeria to this pathetic and laughable situation where billions are stolen with the Government only able to dance around in a macabre and impotent fashion.^^^100 |
IgweAni: The last time i checked, Facrook son of Lawan is still a PDP legiislootor. Adamu!No one can read your mind. If you are not bright enough to express yourself succinctly, stay the fck off my posts. |
Festus Keyamo has made millions and millions of naira as a lawyer for EFCC and we all know that EFCC operates at the pleasure of the government du jeur. Word on the streets in Abuja is that this same Keyamo is involved in several shady deals and corrupt activities involving Farida, but thats a story for another thread. Apparently, Keyamo has become a mouth piece of PDP's. Hear him defend Otedola like a unprincipled lawyer who takes up a case involving the likes of Jefrey Dahmer. Even a 5year old knows that, if indeed, then Otedola-Farouk saga was an SSS operation, it failed woefully by all standards. |
I knew they'd keep this important news away from major Nigerian news outlets. The Goodluck Ebele Jonathan administration will not “prosecute or take legal action against person or persons indicted by the report” of the House of Representatives Committee that investigated government’s fraud-marred subsidy scheme where over N400 billion was stolen by thieves posing as fuel contractors.SMH |
bayooooooo: The question we are trying to answer is not whether the House has powers to summon or not. NASS has powers to summon as it affects business of governance. The question is, can the president be summoned? If summoned and he refused, can such summons be enforced? And finally, do that provisions of the constitution really affect the office of Mr President?In the exercise of its oversight functions the House of Representatives or the Senate is empowered by sections 88 and 89 of the Constitution to summon “any person, authority, ministry or government department charged with the authority for executing laws and …disbursing or administering money appropriated or to be appropriated by the National Assembly”. I agree with Delafruita that the word “any person” or “authority” includes the President. You stated that since no means of enforcement exists, such a summon amounts to an empty threat, null, void and of no use. I completely disagree with this postulation. The President stands the risk of impeachment if summons are ignored depending on the gavity of the "crime" being investigated. No doubt, the President is vested with enormous powers by the Constitution. But he is not an absolute ruler. Do not forget that President Obasanjo appeared twice to answer the summons issued on him by the Oputa Panel on human rights violations. That the President cannot be summoned is not an issue, but a moot point, in my mind. As I stated earlier, GEJ can argue that this particular summon is invalid because of section 88 and he may win this particular case. |
I will only get excited about this 'god' particle after scientists can tell me how the first such particle originated. When they find the creator of this first particle, then I will be excited for them. Unfortunately, what these scientists have been looking for recides within they themselves but they will never look there. Freaking Kafiris and Atheists ![]() |
bayooooooo: The above quote is where the NASS derives the power to summon "any person", let's look at "any person":There is a strong probability that the courts will rule in favour of The President but not because of the reasons you stated above. We can always find impractical exceptions to this "any person" you talked about above. We can carry the definition of "any person" to ridiculous levels which I do not care to do here. It suffices to say that even the constitution clearly defines the conditions under which "any person" can be summoned. This summon would be valid if it is for the purposes of any investigation under section 88. If so, I submit that even the President can be summoned. section 88 (2) The powers conferred on the National Assembly under the provisions of this section are exercisable only for the purpose of enabling it to -I admit however, that it would be quite easy to show any court that the summons issued to the President would not be exercisable based on section 88 above. |
When a country is at war with "terrorists", as is the case in Nigeria, one would expect the President to bring in all parties, including respected leaders from the affected region, NASS subcommittee on National Security and Foreign Affairs, and others to discuss how to solve the resulting security issues. It seems obvious that GEJ and his team did not keep NASS in the loop while the security situation continues to deteriorate, prompting the summons. This shows that our President is surrounded by incompetent and ill-advised operatives. This is a time when the executive and legislative branch should be cooperating and be working together towards finding a solution. Valuable time will now be wasted on a foolist lawsuit which can be avoided altogether. SMH |
valacious: i find flaws in your theory sir. Why should otedola suddenly turn around and re-label his offering to bribe farouk as a sting operation? Why would he go that path. I agree with your theory that otedola reached out to bribe lawan, but i disagree that it hasnt been a set-up from the onset. I say, it's been a sting operation from the very onset with just d sole aim of discrediting the subsidy report. I forsee the story ending this way- many drama and inricacies are introduced, and both parties are let go, and d subsidy report thrown to d trash bin-the exact motive from d word go!There may be flaws in my theory - remember its only a theory. This was not a sting operation orchestrated by SSS from the onset to catch a criminal in the act. If it had been such a sting operation with the aim of arresting criminals, the people who collected the money should have been arrested on the spot with the evidence protected and intact. This is probably nothing but a failed conspiracy by Otedola and some paid SSS oficials to discredit the report as you stated. Otedola has no credibility left. Both Otedola, his SSS accomplices, and Farouk need to be visited by the usual suspects and made to pay. ![]() |
9 questions Farouk Lawan has for Otedola •Why is this audio recording being played in bits and pieces, rather than enbloc and wholly? •How come that an audio recording which ought to be played on Radio for a listening public is being aired on television for a viewing public, when no visual is involved how so ever? •Where is the visual recording of the alleged bribe? •How come a supposed part of the same conversation portray Lawan as a talkative, belligerent and unyielding character who barely allowed Mr Otedola to utter one word, while the first part supposedly shows him as a sluggish, tentative, stammering, and measured speaker, speaking only when prompted on by the same Otedola? •If Lawan says it was left for the Committee to know what to do to help out, why will Otedola pay bribe to influence an issue Lawan had already concluded that his committee would know what to do about? •If Lawan did actually warn Otedola not to tell other Oil Marketers so that the impression is not given that his Committee has been compromised as the audio tend to show, does this not in fact show, assuming the story were correct, that Lawan was actually saying to Otedola, “you know we have not been compromised”? •Why has it taken Mr Otedola this long to make public his so, called “sting operation” well over two months after Lawan had notified the Police when he interacted with them in May, 2012? •How come that neither Mr Lawan nor Mr Emenalo was arrested or swooped upon in a so called “sting operation” where money allegedly changed hands on four different occasions? •What is the source of this audio tape that is being played installmentally and which ought ordinarily to emanate from Security Agencies, if indeed it was a “sting operation” by the SSS? •Who is fooling whom? Source |
bayooooooo: Lawan will not be sentenced on the pages of Newspaper. All the pieces of evidence available at the public domain so far can not be used to even convict a world renown devil. They are too weak to even warrant prosecution as a mere no case submission will get those charges dropped.^^^^ +100 |
My Theory: (1)Odetola reached out to Farouk and offered to bribe him. (2)Farouk collected the $620,000 bribe (3)After collecting the bribe, Farouk implemented his portion of the "quo" in the "quid pro quo" by removing names of Odetola's companies from the subsidy report. (4)Odetola tried to pull a fast one on Farouk by possibly bribing SSS officials into supporting his claim that the whole thing was a sting operation and make Farouk the sole criminal. (5)Odetola was naive enough to think he can buy anyone including SSS member's who are more loyal to their political interests than Odetola or his money. (6)The bribed SSS members refused to back Odetola up, and in desperation, Odetola started releasing purportedly doctored audio tapes which are inadmissible in a court of law. Unfortunately, what we have so far, is nothing but hearsay. A second year law student should be able to successfully defend Farouk and I predict that Farouk will not serve a single day in jail. There is however, stonger evidence against Odetota and if he is not convicted for bribery, he should be convicted for claiming that this was a SSS sting operation. This saga is not good for the SSS as an institution and I predict that SSS will distance itself from Odetola's claims, publicly, soon enough. Ho I wish GEJ's advisers can see that the President's association with Odetola does not serve GEJ and the country well, and advise that Odetola is removed from GEJ's team of economic advisers. Odetola has lost all credibility he has left. It may be time for Odetola to start planning his exile. As for Farouk, stoning awaits him in Kano. Barawo. |

This report is accurate. A bomb was apparently placed on a wall besides Park & Shop located a few meters from Banex Plaza. Fortunately there were no deaths. Loud boom heard around Banex. Windows shattered but property destruction was minimal, relatively speaking. |

Spirit of Okija: So are you saying that if he hadnt commisioned the building, Boko Haram would not have the address or would not breach the compound or what?!No sir, I was simply responding to the post I quoted. What you posted above does not make sense, really. BH breached the security of the compound long before the commisioning. They've probably been stealing from DICON even before GEJ took office. I am not one of those who criticizes and disrespects our President without reason. |
[quote author=The_Matrix]This is a military vest for chrissake. why publicise it Am also scared the wrong people are fully aware and are gonna get their filthy hands on it. GEJ wants to score a cheap political point at the expense of a security breach... slow powk [/quote]Must you spoil your valid post by insulting our President? olodoI say the point you made is valid because in February this year, two suspected Boko Haram members were arrested by the Nigeria Army at the Defence Industrial Companies of Nigeria, Kakuri, Kaduna. Boko Haram members who were not caught must have made away with explosives, guns, and other weapons. Now they will have access to bullet proof vests. SMH |
These people are taking Nigerians as fools. It is obvious that Odetola is releasing portions of the audio recording which favour his position. We must not rush to judgement until we've seen the complete unedited video and heard the complete audio recording. Even the complete video will be unreliable since Odetola seems to be its recorder and guardian. No sane court of law would admit the video as evidence if the SSS cannot document its custody from the time it was recorded to the time it will be presented in court, if it ever gets presented. By leaking the audio tape, they have essentially exonerated Farouk. The evidence has been tainted and will be inadmissible. This is equivalent to a crime lab mishandling blood stains and then presenting lad reports after glaring evidence of screwed up custody of the said sample. Such action would typically render the said lab report rightfully inadmissible. GEJ needs to dissociate himself from Odetola until Odetola clears him name. Odetola does not belong in GEJ's economic team at this point in time. |
Who among you ladies and gentlemen would send someone to go and collect $2.5 million cash instead of picking it up personally? This thing does not add up. The only conclusion I can comfortably reach is that both men are thieves who should be shot upon conviction. SMH |
Beaf: Please do not be offended if before my reply, I say that it is a mark of foolishness to argue about things one has no knowlege of. Maybe you are foolish, or maybe you think you are setting id!ot traps in a vain attempt to snare those much smarter than you.Mallam Beaf just made me laugh so I will take it easy on him. If water is a problem in your village where the nuclear plants and their reactors will be located, abeg where una go find the molten salt, liquified fluoride thorium, etc for una reactor? BTW, you could have done better than wikipedia. I would have appreciate you posting graphics and sighting more reliable sources to support your post. What has happened to your zeal for graphics? Dude you are hilarious. ![]() |
Beaf: There are nuclear plant designs that don't need flowing water these days. And we have rivers even in the far North, if water is to be the limiting factor of the design and strategy we choose. The plants can be anywhere, even in Abuja.Pray tell, how are the fuel rods in these waterless nuclear plants cooled? Please stop deceiving people all over NL. The idea of nuclear plants in Nigeria at this point in time is ill advised and must be vigorously resisted. The same Russians have been developing Ajaokuta since the early 70s and we all know that the project has become a boondoggle. Locate the plant in the North and it becomes the greatest gift to BH terrorists, locate it in the SE and haters may use it to finally put a nail in the Biafran coffin, locate it in the SS and a crazy MEND terrorists can put it to very "good" use. An accident in such a plant located in the SW could wipe out thousands of good people of the SW. GEJ might as well go ahead and drop bombs in "choice" locations across Nigeria so that we can go to reconstruction mode now, instead of postponing such to a few years after the first accident in a nuclear built 5 years from now. SMH @Jakumo, bayoooooo, and others are very much on point. |
Beaf: That is false. El Rufai's sentence was totally unambiguous in whipping Pat Utomi, Reno Omokri, Naijapundit and Nairaland as PDP tools and agents. professional bigots and pretenders like Pat Utomi, Reno Omokri, and their tools like Naijapundit and Nairaland falsely attribute to meRead your statement above, and read your El Rufai post above, while paying attention to the texts in red, and you'll quickly discover the futility of your stance. You fool only the gullible ones. In case you are stoopid, which I doubt, all El Rufai stated was the obvious i.e. professional bigots and pretenders (I'll add other folks including you and several other forumites), use NL as a tool to further their various interests. Shi kena. Again you and others are included in my "other" category, just in case you attempt to accuse me of calling you a professional bigot, Carry on with your campaign. |
FACE: Considering that Lagos is a very small state in area; where then is "Fashola working" this "work" that we keep hearing if people are saying that roads in all LGAs are bad ?I wonder o. Sadly, the costs to the state, of 3 of these flooding episodes, are enough to get 50-60% of Lagos roads in a good shape. |
bayooooooo: That's the portion that nullifies the whole constitution. As FRA Williams put it "A false document that tells lies about itself"That portion nullifies nothing. Have you ever encountered an agreement or resolution which did not have parties who opposed its contents as originally crafted? Stop misquoting Rotimi Williams. I suspected that you are a closet separatist and secessionist who shares the same goal as _Negro. You people will be smoked out, one unpatriotic separatist at time. |
