Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.

God will fight for him.

Let them continue slandering him. Very soon their time will be up.

I believe you very strongly. Those using Jonathan's meekness to rubbish him would soon meet their Waterloo as God Almighty lives.

seunmsg:
REMITA/TSA fraud only exist in the minds of wailers like you. Nothing like that happened in reality.

Oh really? Nothing like fraud happened but the dramatis personae were asked to refund a whopping N8billion. If there wasn't fraud why did the CBN governor deny knowledge of the 1% Fee? Pls try to jettison sentiment and be real for once. Evil is evil whether committed by APC, PDP or APGA.

The bad that Jonathans Administration did to Nigeria by far outweighs the good many times over. So how do you wish us to clsassify such an Administration: as a good one or a a bad one.

i doubt if there is any administration that does not have a few good things. It is the combination of the amount of good and bad and the final outcome that matters.

Pls endeavour to highlight those "bad things" Jonathan did which were different from the ones done by Buhari (in his first stint as a military head of state), IBB, Abacha. Abdusallam, Obasanjo and even the late Yaadua. Buhari who's now been revered as Mr. Corruption Fighter and "man of integrity" once said Abacha was not corrupt. Singling out Jonathan for slaughter is an injustice to mankind and gross disservice God.

Please enough with all this rubbish write ups. Jonathan ruled in a period of six years, and most of them, oil was selling at all time high record of about $100 dollars per barrel. Because of that high price crude oil, even with all the looting going on, the naira still mainlining its value not because of any special magic or due diligence. If the administration had really done a good job, naira should have even appreciated and our external reserve should have quadrupled. With all the high oil prices of about five years, Nigeria has nothing to show for it because all the money was looted.

While it may be true that we expect this present administration to stop giving is excuses and clear the mess on ground, it is also completely false to say the last administration is not responsible for the mess on ground: this quagmire in which we find ourselves as a a nation. if the last Administration is not responsible, then who is responsible. is this new government which is just seven months old?

We are a nation of highly religious but utterly ungodly people. Can you swear by your name that Jonathan's 6-year rule could not be associated with any meaningful development? Search your conscience. No matter what anybody says, he's still the best president Nigeria has ever had.

Sweetguy25:
Nigeria is a country filled with hypocrites and "chichidodos".

A chichidodo is a bird (mythical) that hates faeces with passion but feeds on maggots that emerge from faeces. This is exactly what a vast majority of Nigerians are - Buhari included.

Buhari happily worked for one of the most despotic and corrupt governments in the history of the world, he defended the government at all times even after it ceased to exist. It is extremely embarrassing that such a person would have the a moral standing and talk about anticorruption or even fight corruption. Buhari has been a beneficiary of corruption all his entire life.

How would catholics feel if they found out the Pope once happily worked in an abortion clinic? How they would feel is the same way Buhari fans and all Nigerians should feel about President Buhari.

Sound and intuitive reasoning. Nigerians are expecting someone who labelled the fight against Boko haram as a fight against the north to foster a united nation. It's impossible.

Meekness is often regarded as one of the virtues required for greatness. It's also constantly recommended as a vital attribute needed to subdue retrogressive and negative forces. However, the history of mankind from time immemorial do not seem to support an overstretched imbibing of this attribute. If there's anything most vociferous critics of Jonathan would agree with, it was his display of uncommon meekness and civility both in private and official carriages. Unfolding event in the past 7 months is however pointing to the fact that the ex-president's strongest attribute is beginning to become his albatross and if care is not taken Jonathan would go down into oblivion as the worst president that ever ruled Nigeria no thanks to the campaign of calumny and character assassination been mounted against him by Buhari, Lai Mohammed, Tinubu, Oshiomole, Sagay, Ameachi and the entire APC leadership. No doubt Jonathan had his shortcomings just like any other leaders that have ruled the nation the rate at which he's been singled out as the sole architect of our national problems calls for concern.
How do we match the comment of a prominent northern leader, Sagay who sarcastically "advised" Jonathan to confess his sins to the saint of our time, Mohammadu Buhari who's gradually been revered as a Messiah whose garment is as white as a snow? Curiously, it was reported some weeks ago that one of Sagay's sons had headed for enlistment as a member of ISIS. On what moral ground is this SAN condemning the person of Jonathan? Agreed, Jonathan's govt might have indulged in some corrupt acts, singling him out as the most corrupt and condemnable leader is a crime many of his accusers had committed in the past. For record purpose, the present president, Buhari had at a time defended Abacha as a corruption free leader. One of the reasons Buhari seized power in 1983 was the alleged act of monumental corruption carried out by Alh. Shehu Shagari and his govt. Today, not only is Shagari walking free as an ex president, he's also been celebrated as an elderstateman. Why is Jonathan now been demonised by all and sundry?
Just yesterday, Lai Mohammed had the temerity to premise the ongoing protracted fuel hike and economic woes which has seen the naira plummeting to its lowest ebb from N145/dollar when Jonathan was in power to its present N180/dollar valuation on the ex-president's administration "sins.". It's amusing that a corrupt and clueless Jonathan govt was able to substantially stabilize the naira and also grew our economy to the largest in Africa, a feat never achieved hitherto but we now have a govt that portrayed itself as "the progressives" almost grinding the nation to a halt.

It's from above background that many of Jonathan's admirers are calling on the ex president to halt his deafening silence and defend himself from the vindictive satanic, condemnable and immoral tantrums been splashed to his face by characters who ordinarily should never be seen in the corridors of power talk less of been heard in the public. Jonathan should as a matter of urgency speak up on the corruption allegations which Buhari is now professional using to cover up his administration's ineptitude, incompetence and gross nativity. Even if some of the allegations are true, the president should be seen putting up a robust argument to justify some of the decisions he took while in office. In as much as he's not linked to any act that directly enriched his pocket, Jonathan should speak up and shut down these lousy mouths.

Don't worry, 2019 is around the corner. Past corruption allegations will be a child's play when compared to what APC and Buhari will unleash on Nigeria. If you think the money spent on his campaigns was from the moon, you will soon know the reality when his corrupt backers begin to ask for their Return on Investment. The REMITA/TSA fraud is a tip of the iceberg.

rusher14:
5K each and some bit of curiosity.

If Wike could afford to pay each person in the crowd N5,000, then
APC is dead and buried in Rivers

Gayigaskia:
Ekiti people are doomed

Ride on. Noisemaker. Even Buhari knows he's fighting a lost battle

bluecircle470:
Fayose! fayose! fayose! Hw many times i call u? U go soon meet ur Waterloo if u no respect ursef

Stop that nonsense! Is it you or Buhari that would instigate such waterloo? That was how you and other APC parrots predicted how Buhari would deal with Fayose when he assumed power but what is happening now?. Any further attempt by APC or Buhari to tackle Fayose would lead to the end of this administration. ONE WITH GOD IS MANY. Buhari should not bother to cage ordinary wind.

Sealeddeal:
Such a bad excuse. Did the law also said that the car which the Ex-presidents are entitled to should be replaced if the car is destroyed before their next entitlement date?

The President only wears his garment of integrity whenever he's currying public sympathy but behind the scene he does otherwise. One would have expected him to completely alienate himself from Jonathan's govt if indeed he's a man of his words.

maestroferddi:
Yet Other Questions: 1. What is the propriety of Buhari's receipt of the putative SUVs ostensibly valued at about USD300,000 when the average man on the streets can barely afford three square meals?

What happened to the much vaunted assertion that Buhari is an man of moral rectitude and integrity who even refrained from receiving statutory entitlements as per pensions?
Stella Oduah was maligned and vilified for acquiring cars of similar nature with those given to Buhari. Why are we shifting the goalposts?

2. What is the connexion between the office of the NSA and the replacement of the status cars of past political office holders? In other words, is it Dasuki's call to replace Buhari or indeed any past office Holder's cars?

3. Why would Buhari accept cars that were not procured in conformity with due process? Was the SGF and other relevant government officials/agencies carried along before the ostentatious/exotic cars were purchased and delivered?

Questions all over the place...

Good points. It seems Buhari's integrity status is cosmetic and media-coined. He has failed various tests when it matters most.

koboko69:
Jobless Ekpas......

What an unintelligent piece of garbage epistle.

Too many dumb questions asked...with... Silly assertions made....

Unintelligent in the eyes of croaked brains like you. Like father like son.

Just Wait and see!

My brother, let them bring it on! I am prepared for their tantrums.

Mynd44:
They were destroyed by boko haram when he was attacked.

No sir. Only one of his convoy vehicles was slightly touched as revealed in the pictures released to the public. It was surprising that only the bumper of the SUV was dislocated with patches of assumed gunshot holes on its panels. Was the vehicle returned to the FG for new ones?

gtrust:
PMB declared the 2 SUVs as gifts from well wishers

The 3 SUVs from the FG to former presidents remain properties of FG and must be returned and replaced every 4 years

Did Buhari return the old ones given to him four years ago before collecting new ones? Was there any statue that backs replacement of vehicles before the expiration of the normal four-year circle?

Few days ago, news from filtered in about the likelihood of Mr President soiling his hands in the much publicised Arms Fund Scandal. The President was alleged to have received covertly or otherwise from the office of the then NSA, Colonel Sambo Dasuki the sum of $300,000 and two numbers of SUVs in compensation for the "attack" suffered in the hands of Boko Haram few months to the 2015 general elections. Alarmed by the hues the mindboggling revelation was generating in the Social Media, the Presidency through the Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina reactively released a statement denying the cash receipt allegation but alluded to the president's receipt of the SUVs cars. In a bid to completely wash the hands of the president from the allegation. the President's spokesman laid emphasis on the fact that the vehicles were received in conformity with relevant statutory provisions and this further throws up many unattended questions:

1. Allocation of Vehicles to past Heads of State and Presidents on 4-year circle is backed up by relevant Statutes but the question remains, were the two SUVs in question received by Buhari at the appointed time, that is after the expiration of the last circle?

2. The vehicles were allegedly collected from the Office of the then NSA, did Buhari undertake any due diligence in determining compliance with established government protocol and bureaucracy?

3. As a former Military ruler who thumps up himself as a man of "integrity", did Buhari endeavour to establish the source from where the vehicles were procured?

4. Throughout Mr. Jonathan's tenure as the President, Buhari was reported to have deliberately stayed away from National Council of States meeting citing disdain for the estwhile administration's corruption tendencies, what suddenly propelled Buhari into collecting gifts (statutory or not) from a govt he did not trust? What's the rationale for dealing with a corrupt govt in whatever capacity?

5. With these revelations, do we have any reason to further subject Mr. President's aura of Integrity to in depth scrutiny in view of recent developments where the president and his party surprisingly denied virtually all their campaign promises in the rundown to the last elections?

6. Do we need to impress on the president the need to resolve the mystery about his WAEC Certificate by asking him to compel the military to fish it out from their archive? It's surprising that 7 months into his administration, the president has not seen the need to bring up the certificate issue even as the Commander In Chief.

Those who live in glass houses should be careful in throwing stones and he who comes to equity must come with clean hands. The President should live by example both in truth and reality.

Behold the new Boko Haram and ISIS Headquarters in Africa!

ndcide:
Fact!

Truth is bitter but we are all better off if it's told. When the story of the stench in APC is told, Nigerians may regret entrusting them with power.

Op, Nigerians do not seem to know the depth of Buhari's selective and discriminatory traits. In Buhari's 6-month administration, was there any single statement condemning Fulani Herdsmen killings in the North Central and other parts of the country? That's the "Change".

1wolex85:
I overrated you, really!

Just the way you and your likes myopically overrated our Mr. Integrity. Clear off pls.

1wolex85:
Guy,

was trying to be nice but i swearrigod, you dont have sense! kai! you are actually comparing a military government to a civilian one?

You say the court will establish what the money given to Iyorchia Ayu was meant for! are you dumb or what? The guy already told us in his testimony what the money was meant for godamnit!

You say Dokpesi has explained abi? Pray, can you tell me how the charter of the ONSA includes publicity? This is not a matter of whether I believe him, dont you get it? It is not the responsibility of the ONSA to pay for that service.

That insult goes back to you and your entire generation. Are you so daft and brain-dead to comprehend simple explanation?

What do you know about govt bureaucracy? Who told you that the ONSA cannot delve into publicity? Whether you believe it or not, the NSA office is responsible for everything about the LIFE of any sitting govt including image laundering. Whatever it takes to ensure the govt retains power is his responsibility. Get that into your brain and stop thinking like stillborn babies OK? I am not moved a bit by your senseless tirade.

1wolex85:
Sometimes I wonder! why are you doing this? what kind of lame defence is this? Does what you wrote really make any sense to you? 'Anybody can give security advice', 'Dokpesi was paid to publicize achievements', what in God's name are you yapping about? What is the ministry of information there for? The so called security advice they paid 345m for was based on what? What other security work has the so called company done? Fear God o!

Are you kidding me? Whether my post makes sense to you or not is inconsequential but as far as I am concerned, I don't write for writing sake. The money was paid to DAAR Holdings Ltd a company owned by Dokpesi and he has explained what it was meant for. Whether you believe him or not is beyond your realm of judgement.
As regards the NSA office usurping the responsibilities of Information Ministry, the president can assign responsibility to whoever he deems fit depending on the level of trust. In Abacha's regime, the Chief of Staff was mostly sidelined in the scheme of things for the office of the then NSO (AlMustapha) due to perceived disloyalty. I am not inferring such scenario in Jonathan's administration but such cannot be completely ruled out. The court is there to establish what the money given to Iyochia Ayu was meant for. I stand by my post on Nairaland with 100% convictions.

sherrylo:
Please stop trying to defend this. It involves the lives of selfless people who laid it down for us

Friend, I am a man of conscience who hates to support evil acts but equally stands for justice. If anybody is found to have deliberately embezzled security fund meant for the fight against insurgency, the laws of the land should take its full course. However, I am convinced before any doubt that Buhari and APC are just using issues surrounding the NSA office to nail political enemies who're seen as a treat to them. If you don't believe this, why didn't the president query the source of money used for his campaigns? Why didn't he act on petitions of corruption written against Ameachi and Fashola and submitted to his office and EFCC months before they were confirmed as Ministers? Do you know that Kwankwasso's injunction against arrest for corruption has not been appealed by either the presidency or EFCC? Who's fooling who? Security Votes both at Federal and State levels had always been deplored for issues other than security, an act that cut across all the States including the ones under the control of APC. There's also no prove that the funds been investigated were entirely meant to fight Boko haram. Buhari should first of all clean the rots in APC before making scapegoat out of PDP. That's my point.

Sagamite:
You are a cretinous fuuktard!

You really think I am the one mad?

Chei! I am not surprised. Every mad man thinks the whole world is mad.

You need to end your miserable life and save the world from your moronic opinions.

Moronic fuuktard, so the country should be funding the loss of a business man that took the risk of not getting insurance?

He collected the money silently and did not declare the "compensation"?

That is what your moronic arsse believed?

E no go better for you.

Oh! What an absolute bunkum from a lifeless entity! Do you expect him to acknowledge receipt of the money to your unknown household? Are you so daft to know that not all risks are covered by Insurance policies in Nigeria? Look at a semi-illiterate trying to tutor us on Insurance. Who knows your entire family except on Nairaland. All the accused persons will defend themselves appropriately and there's nothing your cursed generation can do about it. Take a plunge into the bott0m-less pit if you don't like it.

Sagamite:
You are a daft, cretinous fuuktard!

E no go better for you and your cement brain!

I should ask questions for something someone said they did not sign for?

Your moronic, cretinous arssse is comparing that to the issue of something someone else DID sign for?

E no go better for you!

It is time you end your stuuuupid life.

Beg a trailer driver to hit you.



You are a daft, cretinous fuuktard!

So he collected public funds from Security services for PR services!

E no go better for you. Your stupidity should be enough crime to justify sentencing you to death under the law.




You are a daft, cretinous fuuktard!

So you are Obiagbena?

Obiagbena said it was for terrorist attack and confistication, your daft arsse is saying it is for confistication only?

Since when did confistication compensation fall under the purview of NSA, fuuktard?

Soon your daft arsse would say security falls under the purview of Minister of Steel.

Cretin!



You are a daft, cretinous fuuktard!

This is how moronic you are?

Anyone can offer even medical advice to the Chief Medical Officer without having any background in medicine and then be paid N345m for their "expert" advice!

E no go better for you and the fuuktards that made the mistake of bringing you into this world.

You should all be lined up and shot for the crime.



You are a daft, cretinous fuuktard!

Who the fck are you to ask me questions, fuuktard?

Your response clearly indicates some elements of madness and I think Seun should promptly take note before you completely run amok on Nairaland. Anyway, your curse and thousands from your likes CANNOT AND I REPEAT, WILL NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON ME. Get that to your dumb brain. However, my rejoinder was written in the simplest English enough for you to easily comprehend. Obiagbena appeared on a national TV (Channels to be precise) and he articulated what purpose(s) the money he collected were meant for. However, for the sake of Coconut head like you, part of the money was to compensate his company for the dastardly Boko haram attack.

I won't bother to reply your foolishness again. I am done with silly morons like you. Get lost.

OP, I am constrained to describe you as one of the mischievous APC kid-brains on the loose. One wonders where you kept your curiousity when Fashola told the whole nation that he should not be blamed for the N78millon and N300million Website and Borehole fraud simply because he "was not responsible for signing cheques" Did you ever ask where Fashola directed the funds to?
For your information, the NSA and any funds allocated to his office were not meant for the purchase of arms alone and don't be fooled to think that SECURITY is about the army, police and other security issues only. National Security also involves the media, social welfare, intra-religious conflicts, national image laundering etc.

1. Raymond Dokpesi has told the nation that the N2.1billion he collected was for the projection of Jonathan's administration's achievements and NOT EMPHATICALLY FOR PDP CAMPAIGN as you and other misguided APC liars have been peddling. In addition, it's not out of the NSA's jurisdiction to allocate money from the excess security vote for such purpose. If you know how costly media jingos and documentaries are, you wouldn't make any unnecessary noise about the so-called N2.1b.

2. The money given to Obiagbena and other media houses also falls within the responsibility of NSA's office as it concerned compensation for the erroneous military confistication of newsprints and terrorist attacks on some media houses. If the NSA was not justified in carrying out such function who else should have done that?

3. Anybody can offer security advise to the NSA and not necessarily limited to security experts alone.

Now let me ask you these salient questions;

a. Where did Buhari get his campaign funds which ran into billions of Naira from? Remember he had less than N1million in his account before the last elections.

b. How did APC governors spend the Security Votes allocated to their respective States in recent years?

c. From which sources was APC able to prosecute elections in Ekiti, Osun, Anambra, Ondo, Lagos and Ogun in recent years? Was is from the private pockets of its leaders?

Buhari and APC in connivance with uninformed commentators like you are just playing to the gallery. A thief should stop demonizing others as thieves.

Love Machine:
Bokoharam and fulani herdsmen are more daring in this administration than the previous one.

And no single statement has been issued from the presidency condemning the menace up till today. Quite sad

There's a palpable fear that many Nigerians are either suffering from lack of retentive memory or have simply sold themselves to mischief of Buhari's govt. Anybody that blames Okonjo-Iwala for releasing fund to prosecute the insurgency war must be an enemy of Nigeria. How many of us remember when the opposition-manipulated Legislature vehemently frustrated Jonathan's loan request to purchase Arms and Ammunition for the Army? How many of us still recollect how the US blocked our attempt to purchase arms from Isreal and their allies? Have we forgotten how a cladenstine attempt to purchase arms from South Africa was blocked by Jacob Zuma in connivance with the opposition? If the former Finance Minister saw the exigency in releasing fund so that the war could be sustained, should Nigerians be calling for her head? Buhari and APC are about compromising our National Security in the name of politics the same way they rubbished the Army, Police, DSS and other institutions before the last election and I forsee danger ahead.

TimeManager:
@OLADD, My Conscience Bears No Guilt. But You Need Ask If Yours Is Still Alive Else You Wont Be On The Other Side Against The Nigeria People.Gej Plunged Us In Debt To The Tune Of Over $2b After Been Debt Free In 2007. Gej Wakapass President
No Lie Only Truth!

Dude, my conscience is active and alive. I'm not one those people that pitch tent with madding crowd. If GEJ indeed "plunged the nation into huge debt" how do you describe the over N160 billion undefendable debt Fashola left in Lagos. Those responsible for Nigeria's present woes know themselves.

KingEli:
It is only in Nigeria, under Goodluck Jonathan that billions of naira will be given out through the office of an NSA for 'spiritual' purposes...Soldiers die everyday, people loose homes n loved one everyday in the NE, n yet the money meant for weapons was siphoned into pockets of hopeless n greedy politicians..Is ONSA an arm of the PDP? Why is it that it was the ONSA that was responsible for paying Dokpesi 2.1 billion for PDP's campaign?...Why did the NSA give Barafarawa over 4billion for 'spiritual purposes' abi na spirits de fight BH?...People who wanted Jonathan to come back to power were people who wanted to cover their tracks n a few stupiid masses who r blinded by tribalism n religion......PMB step on any motherfuckka who stole our money..Majority of Nigerians r solidly behind you...

God bless Nigeria

Stop this campaign of calumny against Jonathan. Nobody says corruption should not be fought but let us desist from politicking in the name of fighting corruption. The funds allocated to the office of NSA were not meant solely for Arms Purchase or fight against insurgency. Aside national security the NSA performs other functions as assigned by the president. Let Amaechi, Fashola, Aregbesola, Kwankwasso, Ajimobi and other APC governors swear if all their security votes were spent entirely on protection of lives and property. Part of APC State governors' Security votes were spent on Buhari's campaigns .The president is only playing to the gallery.
