You don't have to speak in public. At least people would asume that you have a functional brain.
What happen to bullion van? Did you see the content of the bullion van? Was your money missing and tracked to the bullion van?

Awol1:
What have you to say about Tinubu's Bullion Vans, Mr Biodun.

What sense is there in this statement of yours?
Don't enter new year with this frame of mind.
You must be a criminal to be entitled to a full detention. Are you are criminal along with the rest of you?

slimfit1:
Hausa people only get house arrest with his family coming to see him all the time. The rest of us get full detention and you say one Nigeria.

No, only thieves claiming to be Christian and you can join them if you miss their company.

Edu3Again:
Only Christian Govs are imprisoned

Being named in a scandal by a Senate committee is not the same as being convicted.
You are attaching a document that show someone making a complaint against her lawyer. Why not show where he was convicted of a crime.
Stop acting as an educated illiterate. I am sure shame wont let you accept how senseless you have become.
Reporting someone before an association he belongs to is not the same as taking the person to court.
There is a difference between taking Femi Falana before Nigeria Bar Association and taking him to high court.
I hope I am older than you because I feel like slapping you right now.

MasterKernel:
Gbajabiamila was convicted. Atiku was named in Haliburton Scandal.

Why not go read A Field Guide to Lie by Daniel Levitin.
It is not good for your brain to fill it up with false information. Imagine if they teach you wrong formulas in both primary and secondary school?
Make it a duty to always store facts in your brain.
Imagine you talking in public and people are calling you a liar because you didn't fact check what you were saying?
Very soon you loose confidence in public speaking.
Both Gbaja and Atiku were never convicted of any crime in any USA court, though both were rumoured to be either criminals or corrupt.

MasterKernel:
Why not check the internet? But a lot of you without trial called Atiku corrupt, I give up on you.

So this document you attached is the Supreme Court ruling on the case?
Social media, truly, should be regulated and there must be a serious legistlation against disseminating fake news in Nigeria.
Stop believing everything you hear or read online. At least, consider it a lie until you are able to verify it.

MasterKernel:
Gbajabiamila was convicted by the Supreme Court in the state of Georgia, United State of America, for stealing settlement money from his client and relocating to Nigeria after closing shop.

You mind telling us in which of the correctional facilities did he served his time in the USA?
I assume you are not really knowledgeable in how the law works or maybe how things works in real life, outside the village where you live currently.
In case I am right about your ignorance, civil law is different from criminal law.
Kalu was convicted of a criminal offense. In criminal conviction you have either fine or jail and in some cases both.
Was Gbaja's case criminal or civil?

MasterKernel:
What of Femi Gbajabiamila, An American ex-convict?

5 years jail term for disseminating fake news, 2 years sharing it, and 6 months for liking it.

Uncle I will appreciate it alot. Please how do I send you my link as proposed uncle. I wouldn't engage in Kidnapping or Yahoo, or Rubbery over trying to make a living uncle. Because either you, a close relative or someone you know could be a victim sir

Thanks in Advance

You are correct and your mindset is progressive.
I can tell you the reason they stopped the uber and co from coming to the airport is, probably, that the airport taxi union must have had serious meetings with FAAN executive and dropped fat brown envelope.
If there is an app for airport shuttle and the drivers are enrolled in it, they will be forced to go out and bring customers and the people on Uber platforms can still be part of this.
This is a simple problem just need a little bit of innovation tweak and millions to be made. I am sure the people feeding fat on the status quo will not want this to happen.
Meanwhile, I agree 100% with your position.

Reference:
Oga. There are far too many taxis at our airports. They don't drop and go. They drop and park. They constitute an inconvenience with their crude attitude and mess up the whole place especially at Abuja. If they can be restricted to a maximum of fifty at any one time around the concorse it would be better. The drop and go, place to order operations of cybertaxis are far better for thr public.

Airports are built for travellers not for taxi operators. Thr sanity and welfare of the travelling public should be uppermost in the aspirations of FAAN.

Not every country in Europe allows Uber and a similar model. The Republic of Ireland doesn't want its regulated taxi industry to disrupt. That doesn't mean the country is not making the progress, they just don't want to fix what is not broken.
The FAAN probably have some regulatory arrangement with the Airport Taxi. Maybe someone should develop an app for the Airport taxi, covering all the 31 Airports in Nigeria. Twenty-six of these airports are controlled by FAAN and five are International.
Someone should bring a proposal to FAAN, NURTW, and AIRPORT TAXI, create an integrated application that will offer seamless service for users. Then let the uber drivers enroll in the program to pick passengers from and to the airport.

Devops:
Stupid.
The local taXi drivers should adjust,adapt and improvise. This is the 21st century for God's sake. You can't remain behind when the world is moving in the speed of light in technological advancement.
The local taxi drivers should upgrade or move to a more local area.
This is an airport for God's sake.
That's why we should always learn everyday, keep up with new technologies. Because not learning and upgrading is the smoking of the 21st century.

What if there was fraud?
Are you saying you trust those people managing Nigerian resources?
Please make efforts to see beyond Tinubu machinery. Do you even know if it was Tinubu that caused the investigation in the first place?

healthserve:
Lmao. The destruction of Tinubu's internal machinery

The OP should thank God that there are no law against fake news yet.
He would be looking at doing serious time for misleading the public.

Tobinrobin:
A Nigerian player (name withheld) in a Slovenian club too without a name as well? What manner of silly journalism. Name withheld for what purpose? Did he commit a crime? This def is fake news

Did you skip your evening meds?

What makes this post look like a tribal debate to you? Take your Chlorpromazine and sleep biko.

Everything is not about tribal politics. Your boss at work, assuming you have any, is probably an Igbo man.

Prompto:
As Abia Enugu Imo Ebonyi & Anambra repelled theirs ? This is how foolish Igbos leave the log in their eye to remove that of the Yorubas.

On another thread one foolish Igbo claim Yoruba as only Igbo in their head but I am yet to see a foolish Yoruba open a thread as foolish as this.

Thank God for people like you. If average Nigerian think this way we would have been one of the top 10 countries in the world.
Mass illiteracy is the number one cause of corruption.
Imagine, stealing over 7 billion naira from your own people? That is enough to train 500 surgeons, 100 Chartered Accountant 2,000 engineers in different fields and unleash them to transform the state.
Everyone who ruled Nigeria, in whatever capacity, from 1999 till 2015 is supposed to be sent to prison and all their properties confiscated.
Referring to your statement in bold; We need to change our constitution completely.

LibertyRep:
He is surely going to fight it till the Supreme Court and as far as the law permits.

My worry is just what the court says about the fund in contention. Is he going to make a refund to the government of Abia state?

Or he will just serve the term and keep the loot?

Methinks the law should not only stipulate a refund, the offender should also be made to pay interest of 20% per annum for the entire duration starting from when the money was looted and the day conviction was secured.

What fact? I am advising you to stop spamming the posts with your logo design comments.
It's annoying.
Why not pay nairaland couple of thousand to advertise your business properly?
Don't try to ignore the point I raised and pretend as if I care about whatever fact you are peddling.
If you can't afford nairaland ads go and do Facebook ads and target small business owners in your adsets targeting and stop annoying people here.

Brandstudio01:
I guess what you mean is that I'm always disturbing you with facts. Oga you're a APC Supporter. Why not face your party and leave people's opinion alone my brother

You keep disturbing us with this your logo design comment on almost every post on nairaland.
If you are so busy targeting every new post when do you have time to design logos for your clients?
In case you don't know what you are doing is called spamming and it's annoying.

I would've suggested hearing from the FG first. But the problem is that our politicians are the last people to tell us the truth.

From who did you inherit this kind of thinking? It must be in your DNA. It's definitely not something you learned.

By your logic, it is OK to steal and use part of the money you stole for charity work or pay 10% in the church.

I am not saying your man stole.

But if someone has done something wrong in the past does justice not require that they make it right?

Stop celebrating fraudulent people. That's why your governors and politician are wasting all your wealth.

Decolonel:
You see this country will never move forward. Why are they trying so hard to bring this man down?. A man that single handedly brought Nigerians that were stuck in SA during the xenophobic attack. He spent millions doing a humanitarian job just to do good and here they are digging up his mistake in order to ensure his downfall.

God will vindicate him. If not for anything, for the sake of the sacrifices he has made in this country.

I don't really know how to answer people without brains.
Why not ask the OP?

lexy2014:
All this grammar u are speaking doesn't answer d question I asked. Is it because of border closure that Imota rice mill was built?

A simple yes or no will suffice

Would you buy Naija rice if they sell it half the price of the Thailand rice in the market before they close the border?

Must we import what we consume as a nation?
I am sure you know the giant scam behind petrol import and subsidies in Nigeria.

Let us become agricultural nation. Let government and private sectors go into rice production.

Let us refine our oil, let's stop wasting our forex on importing food.
Should we be importing gaari too?

If we have to close the border for us to sit right so be it.

One thing I can tell you is that 90% of Nigerians are not eating imported rice this Christmas and I am happy with that.

Yes, to answer your question I am not sure if what answer to give you. What do you think?

I drink fresh milk every morning, straight from the farm at about €2 per litre. Why can't the herdsmen supply milk in Nigeria?

Yeah, Peak milk and Cowbell will be banned and then we are going to wake up.

I support the FG's efforts. If they have to pull out of ECOWAS and AU to make the country better so be it.

lexy2014:
So its because d border was closed that this mill was built?

Unless the border is closed nobody will be interested in building anything.
We have the land and a large population of jobless youths, let's go into farming.

ki02020:
Structures like this should have been in operation before the border closure

Have you seeing Tinubu's car collection fa?
To compare Tinubu with Melaye shows how advance your thinking really is.
Let's talk about Tinubu's know businesses:
TVC, Radio Continental, Oriental Hotels, First Nation Airlines, Alpha Beta, etc
Do you have any idea how many Nigerians are drawing their monthly pay cheques from these businesses?
Nigerian politicians have stealing public funds in their DNA and obviously we can't do nothing about it as it stands.
But what are you going to gain from a politician that 'stole' all your money and buy cars with it? To what benefit are the cars to your hungry self?
By the way, I don't have to tell you if I am making money or not, but for you to assume that I need to go make money shows you are a typical Nigerian youth that is probably jobless.

SalamRushdie:
And the cost of of Tinubus assets fa? Don't and make money be there waiting on people to come and open business for you

The cost of his car collection is enough to build a private polytechnics with 5 departments and employ staff and support businesses in his local government.

Oduduwa University Ipetumodu, Ile Ife, Osun State had some conversion programs. Call them to find out if the still do the conversion programs.

Burden of proof is on you that your 40million is missing. Start with how you came about the money and the proof it was in that house.

princeade86:
tenant don become landlord if he know what next to do because the 40m he kept inside room has missed. if u know u know

You passed the unreasonable man test.

ZombieTERROR:
Stop belittling yourself...
Even My Local government workers salaries don't come inside a bullion van... I know how much they brought

Do you have any idea how much was inside the bullion van, where the money came from and what it was meant for?
What if the total money in each van was 2.49 million naira?
Do you think EFCC has enough evidence to prosecute the man in whose house the vans were seen driven into?
What if there was no chance of proving that any law was broken?
Please, let us start working with facts and not by emotion.
The man did not deny that bullion van came into his compound. He claimed the money brought into his compound was his money and that he can choose to spend his money anyhow he pleases.
He claimed he is not a public office holder or a government contractor.
The only way you can hold him on money laundry is if the money in question can be proven to be over 5 million naira cash.

Let us stop raising dust unnecessarily. The EFCC won't go after any case they know they can't win.
Maybe we should focus the energy derived from the little food consumed on other issues that we have the chance of correcting.
My response is premised on the assumption that I am dealing with a reasonable person.

ZombieTERROR:
We have seen how they confronted the bullion van master
