The question these dumb leaders of ours should be asking themselves is, has the United States' military intervention anywhere in the world made that place any safer

If anything, they would rather work towards making their prediction of Nigeria ceasing to be a single entity come 2015.

Jonathan and his band of circus performers are gradually ceding the sovereignty of this country to foreigners! Should anything happen, they should be held responsible!!

StarBoard: Barney Jonathan and his cast of cartoon characters ...

Barney and Friends..

Arobam: Most corrupt leader because of a 255m scandal involving an autonomous parastatal in the Aviation sector? That amount will make APC governors laugh in the face of the 1 Billion Naira they use(steal) in constructing a kilometer of road in the South West.

See http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/buharis-spokesman-accuses-acn-governors-of-corruption-says-they-award-one-kilometer-road-for-one-billion-naira/

Do I need to talk about Tinubu's Alpha Beta and their looting of Lagos Taxpayers money or the 1.68km Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge which cost a whooping $300m/29Billion? Do we need to talk about the scandalous Lekki-Epe expressway buy back?

APC Governors will rank as the most corrupt ever.

Ostrich syndrome.
He's the most corrupt for stealing over 1.6trillion naira in a single year!! Abacha has got nothing on this dude.

OP this your title sef..

Who the hell is linda ikeji that Ishiomole should be "at war" with

Coscharis should also be called in to explain their role in this sleaze. Somebody has to go down in that dealership as well to serve as a deterrent to other corporate establishment who connive with public officials to perpetrate fraud.

This woman simply forged documents in connivance with the auto dealership and laundered the money, simple. It is an act pervasive in virtually all government agencies. All the players involved in this despicable act of theft must be punished.

Another exclusive from the circus clown. Can some1 call Ayo to order That man is a disgrace to christiandom in Nigeria!

Are the people getting these jobs ghosts

Another failed diversionary attempt. That he took pictures beside an exotic car doesn't mean it belongs to him.

By the way, it has been discovered that the bulletproof cars your aunt said she bought weren't even delivered. Just papers claiming they were exist!!

Now she's looking at charges of fraud, forgery, and perjury!!

Eze Promoe: [color=crimson]Who told you they were bribed?

They should collect the loots from Alams, Ibori, Obj, Atiku, IBB, Abacha, Timipre, Patience Jonathan, David Mark, Dan Etete, Aondokaa, and co, and pay up the damn allowances, and fund the damn institutions!

[quote author=L.M Ayedun..]What/who is Shepopotamus?[/quote]Welcome home bro. How was your trip to Mars??
A lot happened while u were away oo. New words found their way into the nigerian lexicon.

Shepopotamus (n)(singular): A female hippopotamus of the genus from the Niger Delta.

Shepo (short form).

Eg. The shepopotamus is an insatiable gourmand with an annual culinary budget of 1Billion naira.

nedu2000: so 'cos they lack credibity oduah should be left off the hook,is that what ur implying?

Nah. U misunderstand me. I'm all for prosecution of Oduah even if Alamieseigha is the judge, but I'm saying due to their inaction regarding the cases of their colleagues, they may find it quite difficult to carry out their threat.

Woe betide anyone who raises a voice in suport of this blatant theft!

Suspicion that Aviation Minister Stella Oduah might
not have actually procured the controversial
N255million armoured cars is gaining traction in the nation’s security circle, with operatives trying to
understand whether the minister merely
masterminded a paper process to launder public
funds.

PREMIUM TIMES can authoritatively report today that the bullet-proof cars are not on government’s official list of armoured cars available anywhere in the country.

Car dealers as well as end users of reinforced cars
such as those Mrs. Oduah claimed to have procured
to ward off “imminent threats”, are mandated to
seek authorization from the office of the National
Security Adviser, NSA, before ordering or importing
such vehicles into Nigeria.

Under that regulation, no car dealer or end user,
including private individuals security agencies, and
government parastatals can bring in armoured cars
into the country without obtaining end user
certificates from the office of the NSA in Abuja.
But reliable sources at the office of the NSA told
PREMIUM TIMES no authorization certificate was ever issued to either Minister Oduah or the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, to procure the
controversial vehicles.

“We have thoroughly checked our list and I can
confirm that at no time did we we issue end user
certificate to anyone to procure any such cars,” one
of our sources said. “It is likely the cars do not exist
and that the documents were either forged to steal
public funds. But if the cars indeed exist, the
minister, the NCAA and Coscharis Motors will have to explain why they sneaked vehicles into our country without authorization.

“It is a serious violation, and the minister and other
people involved have a lot of explanations to make.” Another source said the the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, was appointed into the three-member administrative panel appointed by President Goodluck Jonathan to probe the
procurement of the cars specifically to determine
whether the purchase of the vehicles did not breach
Nigeria’s security regulations.

Contacted Thursday over the matter, Mr. Dasuki said he would not comment on any aspect of his
committee’s work because he is not the chairman of
the panel. “My office is only serving as the committee’s secretariat,” Mr. Dasuki said. “I am not the chairman. And you have to wait for us to complete our work. The question you asked (whether end user certificate was issued for the vehicles) is one of the issues we
will look into.”

Although the NSA was evasive, top officials of his
office told this newspaper that an internal review had long established that the controversial Stella
Oduah’s cars are not on the lists of armoured cars
known to the authorities.

This new finding raises more doubt as to whether the cars were procured reinforced, a reason the aviation ministry cited for the alarming cost of the
automobiles, or whether the cars were even bought
at all.

There are suggestions the ministers and the NCAA
prepared the documents in circulation to cover up
the looting of public funds. That suggestion is strengthened by the refusal of the NCAA and the minister to allow PREMIUM TIMES access to inspect the cars despite initially claiming the vehicles were open to viewing by interested
journalists.

The purchase of the cars have also been found to
violate Nigeria’s appropriation and procurement
laws: the transaction was neither in government
budget nor was it advertised or openly bided for. The contract cost is also believed to have been inflated multiple folds.

Together, the violations have added to widespread
outrage over the relevance of a multimillion car
purchase when majority of Nigerians cannot feed.
Still, a more distressing possibility could be that the
cars were never purchased, and the deal was only
sealed on paper as a cover for money laundering.
The ministry of aviation and the NCAA, the agency
directed by Mrs Oduah to make the purchase for her, claim the two BMW sedans were bought steel-clad to keep Mrs Oduah safe from “imminent threats”.

The NCAA director general, Fola Akinkuotu, said the
practice of using reinforced cars for conveying
aviation ministers and foreign aviation dignitaries-
who he said were also beneficiaries of the cars-was a standard global practice.

Amid mounting calls for Mrs Oduah’s removal, and
for sanctions against all aviation officials involved in
the scam, President Goodluck Jonathan named a
three-member committee Wednesday to review the
contract and submit its findings in 14 days.
Separately, the minister, alongside NCAA officials, as well as officials of Coscharis motors, the suppliers of the cars, and First Bank Plc, the financiers, are to appear before the House of Representatives standing aviation committee. The director general, Bureau of Public Procurement, is also expected to attend the
hearing.

Mrs. Oduah jetted out to Israel on Tuesday, travelling with President Goodluck Jonathan for pilgrimage in Jerusalem. She was not available for the House hearing Thursday.

More Inconsistencies:

The House hearing established, to a large extent,
that the purchase of the cars were clearly against
government regulations and laws. Also, PREMIUM TIMES careful perusal of the contract papers revealed even more conflicting details about
the transaction, with recorded dates and figures
contradicting each other.

While the NCAA purportedly originated the contract
in August, with the first letter of order to Coscharis
written on the 13th of that month, documents
originating from the car firm show that the deal was
long sealed in June and the car released at the same
time.

The vehicle release checklist by Coscharis Motors was signed on June 25 with all basic functions of the cars approved as being in order. There is also discrepancy in the contract sum. While
Coscharis Motors listed the two cars as costing N225 million on the Goods Received Note of August 14, the NCAA approved N255 million, a difference of N30 million.

In all of Coscharis documents, nowhere was the
figure N255 million used.

An ogogoro seller just like shepopotamus!!

She can be pictured in Taj Mahal for all we care.

Even perjury is now on the plate. She said BPE was present during the bidding, a claim BPE denied!

naijaking1: Where was the boko haram wounded lion when one of them was stuffing dollar bills into his hat
Born to rule never disappoints to their followers.

What has boko haram got to do with this

But kai, Farouk, our soft spoken amiable Farouk, messed himself up big time!!! I remember the enormous respect he commanded amongst Nigerian from all devides. How we would have loved for him to still be the big player he once was, but greed got best of him and now his lips have been sealed forever. Now he can't speak on any national issue any longer! Such a pitty.

The moral burden on the house is too heavy for
them to attempt such. Faroukgate, Hembegate,
Elumelugate, Ettehgate, and all the other "gates" easily come to mind.

Besides, do they really have such powers

Do that and you'd see that no politician or "big man" would ever be found guilty of the crime!!

Not surprised an ex military personnel led the brutal assault. The strategy used this time in indeed very clever, pulling them out and then going behind their back to ravage and plunder their base!!

Amidst all these, Abuja is busy playing politics with this crises which poses an existential threat to the Republic.

We shall overcome someday.

As for the vibration, you might want to check that vacuum hose that leaves the throttle body down to the rear engine sitting. Start the car, put on the AC and observe how the engine vibrates and its sound as well. Then disconect that vacuum hose that originates from the top of the throttle body and see is there's any noticeable reduction in vibration and an increase in the RPM. If this occurs then you found the culprit. Best of luck.

Nice topic. Indeed some songs make drivers go faster!!

As for me, "bury me a G" by Rick Ross and "martian Vs goblins" by the Game ft Lil Wayne..

Make me push that gas like I've got 9 lives and don't give a fcvk!!

“Is it because she is a woman? Other people had
been in that office. She will leave one day and
another person will occupy it,”

And someone would tell me respect a nigga like this. So because she's not going to be there for ever, she should be allowed to run the ministry aground with her insatiable greed and when a successor takes over, they can do thesame...

Is there realy ever going to be a day when we start thinking "Nigeria" in this country

“It is also becoming clear that the only card
on the table of Mr. President is ethnicity or
religion. We are waiting to see how this will work
in his favour,” he said.

Right on the money!!!!!
It is all he knows!! From releasing pictures of him kneeling before pastors A, B, or C, and being prayed for (preyed on??), to him telling Igbos they are the backbone of his administration.

In due time, we shall see if common sense would triumph over sentimentality.

A very petty president. All these in a bid to apeal to the emotions of gullible christian voters. Smh. Pilgrimage and one's relationship with God is a personal thing. Stop making a show of it mr president!

Now every little thing with this man serves a purpose of propaganda, like we live in North Korea.
