Dis president is unbelievable! Whose fault is it dat gov cant pay salary? Who is D CinC? Pls someone shld tell dis goro chewing president gospel truth.

Let me break it down for you.
Your father gave you pocket money for one month, you spent it in 5days, and couldn't meet your obligations. Whose fault is it?

Governors need to see them a the CEO of an organisation, who apart from service delivery, must be innovative and profit orientated ( but not at the expense of public goods).

Baba may not have a PhD but his money sense on saving, management, prudence and debt recovery ( ie corruption recovery) is 'Professorial emeritus!!

Which court will hear that.
Saraki you are a major beneficiary of the forgery, how could you be ignorant.
If you are ignorant you ought to have seen the discrepancies and what did you do. Nothing.
Integrity should have made you call for a rerun, you may even have won.
But you were scared because to you the senate president seat is worth sacrificing everything for

Let me make a point of correction before you get things mixed up.
The military qualification of PMB is equal to a masters degree.
The issue of his SSCE arose because PMB wants to remain humble and by the way it is the minimum requirement by the Nigerian constitution so he presented his SSCE instead of his other military qualification.
The PDP capitalised on this saying he did obtain an SSCE even his constituency denied him. We all know he has an SSCE as Cambridge and his secondary school has vindicated him

bejeiodus:
Another gladiatorial contest is looming. The federal government and the Senate have gone eyeball to eyeball. I wait to see who will blink first.

I don't understand why Buhari always fails to consider the heterogeneous make-up of the country in his appointments. That is why complaints of marginalization have trailed many of his appointments. He really needs to take another look at the map of Nigeria.

Before making comment, get informed.
Have you seen the ambassadorial list? If not try and have a look. All 36 a represented.

If this is true then he must have been really foolish to come back to Nigeria. He should have remained in China or wherever he was hiding.
He is the No. 1 culprit of the $2.1b arms deal. He is going a way for a very long time.

Trust the EFCC, they must have frozen his account. Lack of money and hunger can smoke any animal out of his hiding hole.

LadyExcellency:
You are typical mumu, Senate standing rules are like resolutions and according to the guidelines, it can be suspended, amended or set aside at any point in time as may be requested by a "member" with the support of the majority. We know that the Executive is not a Senator hence lacks the locus standi to question the rules whatsoever.

As per the second question, keep quiet if you have no supporting facts to disprove my submissions?

I agree that the rules can be amended, suspended or set aside, but there are procedure and that is 'majority in the house'
Now when was the last one amended- it was never amended
How come there ware discrepancies - it has been amended.
The question is is it by ghost

Hope she is not remote controlled to apologise.

Bukola Saraki- A privileged wealthy man, born with the silver spoon, educated in Europe as a medical doctor, an occupation and profession Nigeria hold in high esteem.

Should he have been patient a little while? Would a patient dog ever get to see any bone?
Should he had laid his personal ambition down for the party favourite?
Is he the best man for the senate president at this time in our destiny?

Surely he is going down hard, thus far his wealth had upheld him but for how long and how far? He definitely has used all tricks but like a leprosy skin it has failed all treatment and it eating deep the more.

Should he apologise? Is it too late? To whom should he apologise to? Is it to his late father? To Tinubu ? Buhari? numerous customers of SGbank?
If he apologises, would this cup pass over him?
What is the opportunity cost of apologising?
Should he fight to the end? What will happen to his name and all he has?

OjujuCalabar:
SaharaReporters has exclusively obtained the sponsor-list of the employees that were illegally hired at the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).


The list—which includes some of Nigeria’s most prominent political figures—was released to SaharaReporters following its June 15 report exposing the Executive Chairman of FIRS, Babatunde Fowler, as overseeing the recruitment exercise in violation of Nigerian laws and in further harm to President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption initiative.

The list of sponsors includes aides of President Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, political operatives of the All Progressives Congress (APC), federal legislators, the Federal Character Commission (FCC), as well as top officials of FIRS itself. Also on the list are aides of the traditional ruler of Lagos, former President Shehu Shagari, and former Head of State Yakubu Gowon. That broad span demonstrates the depth and magnitude of the illegal employment menace in the country.

As in the case of the illegal hires of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, which was exposed by SaharaReporters three months ago, Mr. Fowler illegally recruited no fewer than 349 new FIRS staff members by deliberately ignoring existing Nigerian regulations, laws, and guidelines for public jobs.

According to the list, Mr. Fowler himself sponsored the highest number of illegal hires, with at least 89 recruits being attributed to him. As the corruption spread in the service, the Special Advisor to Mr. Fowler sponsored no fewer than eight illegal hires, while the Coordinating Directors of the Support Services Group, the Domestic Tax Group, and the Compliance and Standards Group (CSG) also took turns.

Sources speaking to SaharaReporters revealed that two hires—Rasheeda Seghosime and Danjuma Seghosime—are the children of FIRS CSG Coordinating Director Queensley Seghosime.

In a practice that parallels the gerrymandering and manipulation in the illegal CBN hires, the Seghosime siblings are curiously listed as being from two different States: Rasheeda listed under Jigawa State, and Danjuma under Delta State.

Another powerful political figure who repeatedly sponsored candidates is Senator Owan Enoh, (Cross River Central). The list shows Mr. Enoh as having sponsored no fewer than 60 illegal hires. Another lawmaker, Babangida Ibrahim, who represents Katsina State in the House of Representatives, also appears to have sponsored no fewer than 10 people.

Sources with knowledge of the illegal hiring practices at the FIRS revealed to SaharaReporters that Mr. Enoh and Mr. Ibrahim, both of whom are the Chairmen on the Senate and House Finance Committees, worked with Mr. Fowler to distribute the public job spots to members of those committees.

This source explained that Mr. Enoh and Mr. Babangida may not even know all the names attributed to them as sponsors because they were intermediaries between Mr. Fowler at FIRS and the Finance Committee members in the Senate and House.

Neither Mr. Enoh or Mr. Ibrahim returned SaharaReporters calls when our correspondent sought comment on these developments.

No fewer than 35 illegal hires were sponsored by the “VP”, according to the sponsor list and FIRS sources speaking with our correspondent. However, according to one source, “I do not know whether these people were sponsored by the Vice President himself or people in his office.”

SaharaReporters spoke to Mr. Osinbajo’s spokesman Laolu Akande, who promised to respond to our inquiries on Friday but did not do so throughout the weekend.

The Secretary of the Government of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal, is listed as having sponsored no fewer than 27 illegal FIRS hires and was described as having enjoyed a “hands-on” role in selecting all hires.

A source at FIRS told SaharaReporters that, unlike many of the recruits sponsored by Mr. Enoh, SGF Lawal knew many of those he sponsored and was instrumental in selecting them to fill those spots. This source also added that Mr. Lawal was supposed to investigate allegations that FIRS was hiring people illegally as far back as April, but “simply ignored the issue.” It was also learned that at least 4 of the 27 illegal hires Mr. Lawal sponsored came from his wife.

Mr. Lawal told SaharaReporters by text and email that he was categorically certain that he had no role in the illegal hires and that reports linking him were false.

President Buhari’s Senior Special Advisers to the National Assembly, Kawu Sumaila and Ita Enang, are also listed as sponsors in the FIRS hires. Mr. Sumaila, SSA to the House of Representatives, sponsored five job slots; Mr. Enang, eight. Sources explained that Mr. Fowler provided these slots to Mr. Sumaila and Mr. Enang as a gesture of good faith concerning future requests.

Sources explained the keywords used to convey who was sponsoring which illegal candidate:

· CD meant Coordinating Director in various FIRS groups

· EC stood for Executive Chairman, meaning Mr. Fowler;

· DG BPSR meant Joe Abah, the Director General of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms;

· FCC stood for the Federal Character Commission, the Commissioners of which received job slots to distribute in exchange for ignoring the fact that FIRS was not publicly advertising the jobs.


Sahara Reporters Media
SaharaReporters sources could not confirm the code words “Baba” or “Mama”, which sponsored at least 20 and 10 jobs respectively, but curiously a duplicate name sponsored by “Mama” was also listed as being sponsored by “Small Villa.” It is believed that the code names were referring to President Muhammadu Buhari, who is widely called Baba, while "Mama" might be his wife, Hajia Aisha Buhari. Our sources could not confirm to whom or what “Small Villa” represented, either.

As in the case of CBN Governor Emiefiele, sour sources explained to that Mr. Fowler was the mastermind for this monumental illegl employment scheme as a way for him to maintain control of FIRS even if he got sacked by President Buhari.

“FIRS not only has a massive budget but if Tunde were to leave he would still be able to influence the FIRS,” one source explained.

He added: “Tunde would be able to peddle influence and buy favors from Nigerian companies to give them assistance manipulating FIRS” after he leaves.

Sources from the FIRS also explained to our correspondent that most of these illegal hires were relatives or friends of the sponsors but that some job slots were sold for money.

Other names which are listed as having sponsored some of the illegal FIRS jobs are the Attorney General to the Federation, Abubakar Malami; Chief Pius Akinyelure; Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu; former Head of State General Yakubu Gowon; the Head of Service, Winifred Ekanem Oyo-Ita; the former FIRS Executive Chairman Ifueko Omoigui-Okauru; Minister of Information Lai Mohammed; the Minister of State for Planning Zainab Ahmed; the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu; former FIRS boss Alhaji Kabir Mashi; and APC Deputy Publicity Secretary Timi Frank.

According to SaharaReporters’ investigation, six of the new recruits are of the position of deputy director, while 10 are assistant directors. Thirty-four others are of the rank of deputy manager, while the rest are made up of senior managers, managers, assistant managers and officers.

The full list of sponsors and illegal hires can be viewed below:

Saraki from forgery case to another alleged false declaration of assets just the same day!!! And we call Saraki our senate president. Why it's always difficult for our politicians to just resign from office?

Three other cases are pending on money laundering
1- remember the N300millin stolen from him by his securities when he went to bea de change
2- why is he holding N12millin in his house stolen by his household members
3- his role in SGBANK collapse

I voted for him and sincerely I have no regrets. I have not been disappointed for a moment.
I see sincerity and true commitment to making Nigeria a great nation.
To make a delicious soup all the wonderful ingredient must be in a pot and put on fire. Other ingredients are added as the process goes on until all the CHANGE is made, behold the delicacy of all tongues.
Goodness I'm already salivating, Nigeria will be great again.

Nice one EFCC.
Secure the money in his account pending when his immunity expires especially if bulk of money is still in there

Ipod ops,
We all know that under Fashola the highest power generation has been achieved. And we know at that time the avenger and other militia has not started blowing pipeline.
In view of this and the fact that in any assignment you start with what is on ground before building in the air ie we already have gas and gas turbines which is a veritable place he has started.
I rather advise you plead with the avengeers

paschu:
It's either you have a very serious issue with comprehension or you are totally unable to read.

There was no forgery anywhere. What the demented power drunks call "forgery" is actually a normal NAS process that has been in place since 1999.



The stupid old men gunning to overthrow the current senate leadership are mere psycophants who are desperate to bring nigeria down again to the era of lawlessness and dictatorship.

Unfortunately majority of nigerians are so dumb and annoyingly silly to condemn impunity.

Folks like you even cheer it on.

Gosh.

I certainly no longer blame Nigerians who no longer wish to be identified as Nigetians.

You like to deceive yourself big time. Is it to hide a crime you begin using words like ' national assembly bureaucracy'. What and who constitute this? are they ghosts?
Please reason with your head when you get to the courtroom.

We know. We also know He got wiser when detained for 27years.
Ask Nnamdi if he is willing to stay 27years?
Please don't answer for him as it is a personal question.

Forgery on the floor of the senate and he said the matter has been settled on the floor of the senate.
Wow!! How amazing our legislators reason. A man commits a crime in his toilet. The question is it right it should be investigated and prosecuted? Are we intruding on his freedom in his house?
Our legislators needs rebirth both morally and spiritually

It's been a year I visited lagos. I've got to go see things for myself soonest

I don't expect anything good from PDP as per corruption. What a ridiculous statement it brews the foul smell of the corruption they are known for

Ops I think you are based in ibadan and probably an elderly man. I took my time to read your letter. It is the most inordinate and confused letter I've ever read.
No clear line of thought, just lamentation, guided by location myopia. Probably because you didn't know the CEO/ director of Top hospitals, pharma company, banks, farms etc in Nigeria.
Writing and directing this letter is purely for mischief as Tinubu is neither holding a political office nor appointed by Yourba to lead them. Your grievances instead be directed to the governors or rather enrol into the political class and via for seat in order to make the difference you want to see.
Finally, I don't think it's right for you to want to stain Tinubu this way as I don't think he has discussed how he wants to be remembered, leave that to posterity and despite all glibrish you wrote you never suggested a way forward indicating gross naivety of ideas.

eleojo23:
It is tantamount to nothing because this act of maturity is beyond your comprehension.
The party you support only knows how to run down the opposition and that is what they did when GEJ was in power. They never wished him well.
So now that he is out of power and he is wishing this same people well instead of repaying them in their own coin, you simply cannot comprehend it.
And you know why? Because only mature people recognise maturity when they see it.

Nothing personal just an objective assessment.
No vex

He simply has nothing too say
What he said is tantamount to nothing

WHY APC IS STRONGER THAN PDP. .
1. It took PDP 16 years to make a dollar = N197,
but it took APC just 1 year to make a dollar N350.
...
2 It took PDP 16 years to destroy Nigeria, but it
took APC just 1 year to massacre, dismantle, kill
and bury Nigeria. ...
3. It took PDP 16 years to make fuel price N87 per
litre, but it took APC 1yr to make fuel N145 per
litre. ...
4. It took PDP 16 years to make Nigeria corrupt,
but it took APC just 1 year to make Nigeria
Fantastically corrupt.
5)It took PDP 16 years to keep the price of rice at
N7,000 per bag, but took APC 1 year to project it
to N18,000 per bag.
6) It took Jonathan 5yrs to travel to 15 countries,
but it took Buhari 1 year to travel to 30 countries.
7)It took PDP 16years to apply resounding
economic policies that made banks grow, but took
APC 1 year to apply policies which they beg banks
not to sack more staff.
CONCLUSIVELY; I am beginning to think that while
PDP is better in administration, APC is better in
opposition, that's why APC is still campaigning,bla
ming, promising and playing opposition part
despite being the Ruling party after one year.

Nonsense
Absolute glibrish.

It seems the Avengers have recruited a learned lawyer to handle their posting and twitter account. I have seen remarkable changes in their post in the last one week. This is an indication that they want the negotiation badly, even more than the FG. Their recruit want to sound tough but doesn't have the liver for it. It also an indication that the people in masquerade now want to take over from now.


Problem may arise if they don't pay boys like pipeline bleeding commander etc handsomely, yawa go gas


All this blackmailing shows in fighting in the group

Jonathan! Jonathan!!! Jonathan!!!!
When will this man learn to talk? This is simply a palmwine parlour and pepper soup joint talk

Let's face the facts,
1-this could be true but if you have no data or statistics to lean on, a leader should simply shut up
2- let him mention names and let's find out how? Through stealing is not corruption or opening the treasury through NSA

Finally where he should have spoken, on the militant he kept quiet.

Let me tell you what our (mis) representative will do.
They set up a committee
They will absolve our (mis) representatives of any wrongdoing
They will finally lash out at the American government even demanding an apology

Let's wait and see, say I no tell you

Please I beg you in the name of God, let her go. Don't call her.
You may be missing her body and all she give you in bed, but beyound that I don't see what she will offer you.
Love may be blind but marriage is an eye opener.
As a man an attitude issue of a woman is one thing that will get at you. Moreso she is all illegal, it's trouble all the way

I thought she couldn't talk due to her health.

Anyway let her come and defend herself in Nigeria. The righteous are as bold as a lion say my holy book.
