Mrbigman1:
The dasuki guy is been under lock and figures are reeling out like pressure leak just to buy some people's mind.

Imagine they said GEJ wasted 980 billion dollars.

Please have our budget exceeded 3 billion dollars in any year?

Even d soludo and sunisi could not say a word here cos they know dat a sugar cane chewing idiot is looking at figure and giving a multiplyer effect.

At the end, d real truth will come out but most souls must ve being sold to the devil.

That's how dey mentioned the billions in used for independent day celebrations and later a more sane figure came out.

Apc forgot that in Nigeria, ruling is just about 1 and half years or 2. The rest is campaigning and d rest. They really wanna use this one and play politics and waste some persons 4 years. Me? Am more than them.

cktheluckyman:
As the EFCC weighs options on GEJ,Buhari has better start weighing options on alternative sources of revenue besides oil.

BTW whether AIT was paid N8b or N10b is immaterial but whether it was paid for services rendered or not is the koko!! If he indeed provided sservices for the money then he is entitled to it.

Why does Saraki always stand at the back looking dejected whenever someone is shaking hands or smiling with Buhari?

The team of investigators at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) looking into how the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) shared funds meant for fighting Boko Haram has detected another line of payment made to companies linked with Thisday publisher and owner of Arise TV, Nduka Obaigbena.

Nduka Obaigbena of ThisDay and Arise TV Ventures Africa

The investigators said Obaigbena received at least N650million from Dasuki for questionable transactions.

They also said that Obaigbena, who is also the Chairman of the Newspaper Proprietors Association Of Nigeria, has dropped out of sight since the discovery and all attempts at reaching him have failed, EFCC sources said.

Today, SaharaReporters reached Mr. Obaigbena, who said he was in New York.  He said that prior to his trip to New York, he had been at meetings in London, and will return to Nigeria when he is through with his visit to New York.

He admitted that his newspaper company received a letter from the EFCC and that a response had been sent to explain what they know about the case involving Raymond Dokpesi’s Daar Communications. Dokpesi was arrested last week, but he and his family have offered conflicting accounts about why he received billions of Naira from Dasuki. 

Obaigbena told SaharaReporters he did not receive any monies from the former NSA, a point strongly disputed by EFCC investigators.

Thought i should share to people like me who didn't know.





Genesis 38:8-10

Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother's wife and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.” But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whenever he went in to his brother's wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother. And what he did was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and he put him to death also.

In as much as I have my own candid opinion,i noticed that other people`s opinion differs.
I personally think that an elected senator is more powerful than an appointed minister(with all things being equal) but also I figured out that here in Nigeria, things are somehow different with regards to a minister having more than one portfolios.
Please fellow nairalanders who do you think Is more powerful





Moderator please I need to get as much response as possible

Senators largely of the All Progressives Congress stayed away from Wednesday’s sitting as Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu presides over plenary.
Ekweremadu is presiding over today’s sitting as the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki has traveled to Ikenne in Ogun State to attend the burial ceremony of Mama H.I. D Awolowo which was scheduled to take place today.
DAILY POST observed that today’s sitting is, however, quite stable compared to the first time Ekweremadu presided over the Senate.
Senators of the Unity Forum who have been neck deep in leadership tussle including their arrowhead, Senator Kabiru Marafa are participating fully in today’s plenary.
Today’s plenary is dominated by “Alteration Bill” sponsored by Senator T.A. Orji (Abia Central), Babajide Omoworare (Osun East), Nathan Achonu (Imo North).
The proposal for Alteration of various section of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria came as first reading.

President Muhammadu Buhari Monday in New York called on the international community to urgently redouble its efforts to strengthen mechanisms for dismantling safe havens for proceeds of corruption.

Yet some wailers were telling us it was a failed trip, its not yet a week and we seeing the result of that speech, who wont take him serious when they know he's not that ogogoro drinking PHD holder we got before.

I bear no ill will against anyone on past events. Nobody should fear anything from me. We are not after anyone. People should only fear the consequences of their actions.
Like i said in my previous post, Saraki is dancing to the raggaeblues he played himself, now its the turn of OPOLO EYES to dance to DOUBLE WAHALA

The project won't progress beyond this photo session. I really pity my state but the truth is, we have entered one chance. By 2018 when Fayose's tenure will expire, billions will be reported to have been spent on the project without completion. Nothing good is going to come out of this.
