BlowBack:
If you have read Segun Adeniyi's book, Power, Politics & Death - which detailed the last days of late Musa Yaradua- you will find where Segun detailed how Sahara Reporters owner Sowore called him almost immediately after a meeting in Aso Rock to clarify details that were discussed.

Also if you have seen the wikileaks cables between the then US ambassador and the head of Shell Nigerian where the Shell boss stated that they had close confidants within the corridors of power and in govt to both inform them of future policy directives and also influence same, then it ought to clear that Aso Rock is filled with moles.

Bringing us to SR and Sowore, who want us to believe they conduct investigative journalism, all we get from SR is "confidential source" or "undisclosed source ".

It is very obvious that Sowore operates a "pay or shame" outfit and on the side gets paid to also degenerate others.

Sowore is nothing but a blackmailer and his useless SR an extortion racket!

SR has never hidden the fact that they have several moles in govt. Whether they are paid or cajoled to publish filth about anyone, the real crux of the matter is that 90% of the filth they've exposed turned out to be true, albeit with plenty exaggerations. That explains why no matter how they may be hated by many (usually when the story doesnt favour the person), SR still remains relevant 10 years later.

you all should keep on buying substandard product..

they know they can brainwash africans into thinking their phones are good..

they have zero presence in western country because those countries wont allow products like tecno come into their country.

You get what you pay for. There's nothing substandard about those phones, they're just low end (cheaper) smart phones.

"...He (Ibori) fought tyranny and stood for the truth led to his indictment for corrupt practices."

Which other evidence do we need to prove that so many Nigerians are sick?

Politics of maturity, not the foolishness we see in Rivers state.

Bump this thread, Omenka this was you.....because he seemed to have bashed Jonathan u were shining ur dirty teeth, when the table turned and he turned on ur demi-god Buhari u didn't find it funny again, you turned to radical anti-Biafra, hate filled rodent.

I have been looking for this thread since God knows when.

Obailala, and you also that said he formed the radio because of Buhari's election.....eat your words with your fellow zombie in chief of benue rats.

I wouldn't normally respond to this nonsense, but would be making an exception cos I'm excited. Biko kindly point out to where I mentioned that RB was formed after or because of Buhari's election?...

Or let me just save you the stress by clarifying your misconception; I said and I repeat again (this time read it carefully), over 95% of today's Ipob adherents only joined the movement after Jonathan lost the 2015 election. Nnamdi K had been ranting on radio biafra for ages, sahara reporters even interviewed him sometime in early 2014. But at the time, nobody took either Kanu or Ipob or Massob serious, massob members were arrested randomly and nobody spoke up but rather they were disregarded as jobless old men; not until the results of the 2015 election was released and then Ipob and Massob became darlings. After the grand political miscalculations of the SE in 2015 (which set the SE several decades backwards politically), the next HOPE was obviously to just run away from the Nigerian political stage by demanding secession; hence millions instantly embraced the hitherto disregarded Nnamdi Kanu ideologies.

Tell me I am wrong and I will show you a joker, except for some very few core biafrans like Pazienza who you can still trace his posts as far back as 2011 calling for Biafra, over 95% of the people shouting Biafra Biafra today are nothing more than disgruntled Jonathanians. Quote me anywhere!

verygudbadguy:
I got ur point.

I don't think Wizzy has changed sound that much. I think he has that Sean Kingston style from day one...He is just exploring...

We have to give it to him, he is an all round Brand.. That earned him the collabo with Vybz Kartel.

Yeah you are right.. Wizzy hasn't really deviated much (yet), but he needs to watch it, it still sounds cool now cos he's extremely talented.

Did the 'Innocent' dude hear Ayiri make the statement with his mouth?... Infact, did anyone at all hear Ayiri actually make the N50m statement?.... There lies the real problem with social media, nor be Ayiri fault.

verygudbadguy:
I guess this is Wizzy's week with the way NLers are coming up with threads on him.

@Op, I see no mistake here. Wizzy is on the right track. He hasn't ditched his afro sound, he is only trying to reach out to a bigger audience. It goes on to show his versatility in music.

I get your point on the below bolded though...

* You can't do it better than the people that owns the stuff, no matter how you try,U will only be close to them

I believe it is better to give it a trial than not trying at all...

My only advice is that he should try and feature more on the African scene. He has got Runtown and Eazi as allies. He can jump on tracks with them and remain the Starboy he is...

The bolded part of your message is the mindset that still keeps Africa backwards; thinkink we have to change who/what we are to be accepted by others. We believe the only way to reach out and appeal to global audience is to speak in foreign accents, sing like foreigners and act like foreigners. But I think that stems out of a larger inferiority complex and identity crisis issue.

We lose our brand thinking we are pleasing others. You walk into a Nigerian club in London and they play 50:50 Nigerian:Foreign American songs #InferiorityComplex

I walked into the Jamaican stand at the London Nottinhill carnival some years back and they played only Jamaican songs, but when I proceeded to Nigerian stand, djjimmyjatt kept playing 70:30 American-Nigerian songs amd I was like, 'WTF!' Isn't this supposed to be a cultural carnival where everyone represents their culture?.. Excuse given was that they needed to accommodate non-Nigerian guests, but it's actually #InferiorityComplex

Bob Marley is a global icon today, he didnt need to change his brand to be accepted. Likewise the Felas of this world. Stay true to yourself and people will seek you when they need your kind of stuff. If a Brit walks into a Nigerian club, he expects to hear Nigerian songs, not the same British/American songs he hears all the time in thousands of other clubs.

Congrats to the New Tetfund Chair.. . Mr Emeka Nwajiuba (2011 CPC Guber Candidate for Imo State). That's a nice one for you. Indeed you have paid your dues. Mike Ahamba would be regretting now.

And the political compensation continues... Africa still has a long way to go..

Dedetwo:
Arrant nonsense!! We have been to this path and it did not work. The only viable solution now is total and irrevocable disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria.

No we haven't!..

When did you go through that part and was it with a united voice?

If half of the energy that has been used to clamour for secession since 2015 especially is poured into a clamour for restructuring, it would have been achieved decades ago. Besides, we must face reality, balkanising a nation is not beans, Nnamdi Kanu wasn't far from the truth when he asserted that the only way to divide a nation is through war.

How do you address quality leadership? Conduct elections from now till next 100 years in Nigeria as presently structured, a cow from northern Nigeria must win a most qualified professor of Law or Economics from southern Nigeria, so long as northern Nigeria wants to have the presidency in the north.

A presidential candidate needs 25% of votes in 24 states to win. But northern soldiers wrongly used land mass as criterion and created 20 new federal units (19 states and Abuja) with hundreds of local govt areas in the ONE REGION north; but allowed only 17 states and fewer local govt areas in once TWO REGIONS South. This is the fraud. Land mass is never used as criterion to create new states or new regions or provinces in a federal country.

It is like dividing California and Texas into about 6 states each, but divide other smaller US states into two states each. Such fraud can't happen in the US, but it happened in Nigeria. This is one of the reasons why IPOB want out of Nigeria.

I was referring to leadership at the local level; governors, LGA chairmen, senators, reps etc. Quoting the words of Soludo in the video below:
"o bu ndi awusa n'achi n'alaigbo?.. o bu ndi yoruba n'achi n'alaigbo?"

The last time I checked, an Igbo man rules the 5 SE states + 2 SS states today, and there have never been a time in Nigeria's history when we heard that monthly allocation was withheld from any of these states. Just like every other region in Nigeria, we also have similar set of misfits serving as leaders in the eastern region without any form of social revolution against their wickedness/incompetence.. We haven't made any attempt to solve this leadership issue, yet we just believe 100% that the factor holding down development is the man sitting in Abuja; misplaced priorities!

By the way, regarding the over-flogged defeatist talk about the north having the largest population and LGAs/representatives etc, I personally don't believe that holds any water. Divide and rule is allowed and I'm very sure the north central who we always conveniently lump in together as 'north' are equally tired of the dominance of the far north and will take a stand with the south if and only if the south sorts out its divided house.

discusant:
You first called Nigeria a damn country. Later, you hit hard on IPOB agitating for Biafra to leave the damn country.
So whither your intelligence?

Life of parasitism continues to becloud your intelligence; because once you call a country a damn country, that means the country is dysfunctional. So why do you quarrel with groups that want to leave Nigeria?

Where is my intelligence?... My intelligence rests in the fact that when I find something dysfunctional, I consider the most practical option which is 'to fix it.' Restructure Nigeria and all the main issues which drive the secession agitations will be solved. Restructuring is also a far more achievable target that the expensive venture of total balkanisation which would most likely be achieved through needless crisis and bloodshed.

I'm not sure I grab what you mean by your parasitism statement.

Gbam!... Based on logistics, whether e win or e nor win!

The real thing we should be fighting for, and which I believe is achievable is the implementation of Confab reports; return the damn country to its structure before 66.

I just shake my head in pity when I see people with outpouring emotions running around shouting Biafra Biafra! Most ridiculous is the fact that 95% of the agitators picked up the idea just moments after their preferred candidate lost an election.

Balkanising a country isn't beans, Nnamdi Kanu wasn't too far from the truth when he said the only way to break a country is through war. Is it really worth it plunging the nation into such needless crisis when the most fundamental issue (i.e. quality leadership) has not been addressed?

This EFe matter don be like 2015 May 28th landslide...

Nwodosis:
The enemies of Peace Mass will keep on circulating this for several times! The probability of Peace Mass being involved in an accident is higher than any other Mass Transit because it has the higher number of vehicles on the way! That's just the plain truth.

You may be right, this is likewise the reason why dangote trailers are always involved in accidents. But the truth is, with the established nature of PMT and Dangote, they should be able to put in more efforts at training and testing drivers, maintaining their vehicles and whatever else it may require to stem this nasty trend.

PMT again... this man's villahe people must be working overtime in his case.

But then again, let's cut the bullshit; 95% of accidents in Nigeria are caused by bad driving and poor vehicle maintenance. Some people may say 'bad road' is a factor, but when you have a driver blasting 160km/h on Nigerian roads known to be riddled with potholes, then it would be meaningless blaming the road.

Why do I just have a feeling they look like siblings?.. Not just siblings but twins?... There's everything weird about their resemblance.

Same old story since 1980...

Fx55:
I don't care about Jonathan or Buhari. I'm more concerned with the speedy balkanisation of the failed experiment called Nigeria and the restoration of Biafra. To hell with The Zoo and all the rot associated with it.

The last time I checked, you are also one of the creatures who contributed immensely to make the country a zoo... So while you keep praying for the destruction of Nigeria because your candidate lost a freaking election, you will only reap your own destruction. Keep praying and celebratung nonsense.

Fx55:
Corruption fighting back and winning so effortlessly. The incompetent cattle-rearing Dullard from Daura has been suffering First-Round Knockouts in his pretentious fight against corruption. Pharoah Buhari is definitely on a losing streak this week.

Media trials won't get you any favorable judgements from any competent court. Buhari and his incompetent, loudmouthed cronies should learn to follow up all their cases with hard evidences and facts... Not just making noise in the media.

I believe I aptly described you in that my previous comment which you quoted. Meanwhile we are all in the mess together so keep rejoicing and celebrating the rot in your country because your myopic mind thinks life starts and ends with gej vs buhari rivalry.

I thought I read a news report today saying the govt has just cleared all outstanding pension arrears from 2014 till date?

And corruption wins again, and the 'animals' in the 'zoo' rejoiced, cos they were exceedingly glad.

God bless all our mothers out there

Lol... Very soon we go hear say Shekau and his bokoharam faction are supporting Debby rice.

Fight against corruption in Nigeria = Mission Impossible!!!

Fight against corruption in Nigeria = Mission Impossible!!!

Buhari's biggest undoing was his failed attempt at being a democrat in the beginning of this Saraki matter. Saraki and his boys are now rendering the govt and country useless to the admiration and applause of wailers even while Buhari lies sick in bed. Walahi, it is at times like this one understands how smart and cunny OBJ was.

nwakibie3:
Read the write up very well. Attorney general never called efcc to withdraw the case rather efcc withdrew the case cos they can't produce witness to back up their claim.

Why do I feel we are both referring to different reports?

Except we are both reading different reports, I'm not sure I understand your comment. The attorney general already sent a letter saying the so called missing funds ain't missing any more. Oh yes, the ICPC lawyer may have claimed that it wasn't the letter from the attorney general's office that INSTRUCTED them to withdraw the case, but what case exactly would they be prosecuting the man for if the attorney general has already said nothing is missing?

An Abuja High Court sitting at Apo, on Tuesday, struck out six-count charge the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, preferred against former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe over his alleged complicity in a N1.97billion contract fraud.

Trial Justice Olukayode Adeniyi further discharged and acquitted the defendants, after the charge was withdrawn by the prosecution.

Th charge was withdrawn on a day the court earlier gave the anti-graft agency to produce its witnesses to establish that Orubebe, who served under ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, diverted funds meant for the compensation of owners of properties on Eket Urban section of the East-West Road in Eket, Akwa Ibom State.

Other defendants in the charge were an Assistant Director at the Ministry of Niger-Delta Affairs, Mr. Oludare Davis Alaba, and the Director of Contracts, Gitto Costruzioni Generali Nig. Ltd., Mr. Ephraim Towede Zari.

However, shortly after the defendants were arraigned, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN, in a letter to Chairman of the ICPC, with Ref No. DPPA/MNDA/345/16, confirmed that the N1,965,576,153.46, which Orubebe allegedly diverted, “has not been expended, but is awaiting further contract decisions and directives from the Ministry of Niger-Delta Affairs”.

According to the AGF in the letter that was signed by the Director of Public Prosecution and dated December 16, 2016: “In view of the above, the basis for the prosecution of the accused persons for misappropriation does not exist and thus, further prosecution cannot be justified”.

Though ICPC counsel, Mr. Ekoi Akpos, applied to withdraw the charge, he however insisted that the decision was not premised on the letter from the AGF.
