PetroDolla: LOL, we are in 2012, not 1980s. the great story from all this is the great Ghanaian spirit. yes, Ghana suffered great economic crisis in the 1980s and we all know the story. those who claim to be our 'friends' today were the ones who dehumanised our citizens living in their midst. the same foools who today are claiming ecowas protocol allows their citizens to live anywhere in west africa, as if ecowas did not exist then.

the fact that Ghana fell on hard times is nothing to be ashamed about, it is a normal occurrence in life. fortunately, the good people of Ghana accepted the challenge and today they have built for themselves a country they can be proud of. we are not there yet, but at least Ghana today is a country on the road to somewhere.

Today, nigeria is going in the opposite direction, on the road to disintegration.Today, we are not talking about whether your accursed country will survive ,but into how many parts it will eventually break up into and whether it will be peaceful or bloody.

I hope when all the dust is settled you can pick up the pieces like Ghana did and forge ahead to build better societies. But given your legendary penchant for waste, corruption and maladministration, I have my doubt.

Petrocedi or what you call yourself keep deluding yourself in this your fantasy of a superior ghana. I have told you times without number that the poo in Nigeria is way ahead and better than the whatever you have in ghana. In all your lives you will keep chasing after Nigeria just to meet up. But do you know what? You will meet up like Zamfara state in Nigeria. You guys should keep trying and one day you will surely get here. I feel your pain though, kpele

mortee: Must you express your defeat like this? The guy has not said anything worse than all you've said in your previous posts. If you have any value for your own mother, you wouldn't have been quick to insult another's.
And to all Nigerians who joined in the spread of dirt on the country, remember - "omo ale ni f'owo osi juwe ile baba re." Pray for the peace of Nigeria, those who love her will prosper.
Even if some people think God has forsaken us, we don't have to believe it and act it. We have the power to transform the country into a place people will long to live and work, but it all starts with our mindset and our words. WHAT YOU SAY IS WHAT YOU GET!
For me, I strongly believe and confess - NIGERIA GO SURVIVE!

My brother fret not. Nigeria's present condition is a haven compared to what ghana is today and in the next life. We are their big brother. Their leaders know and act this, just that it hurts these youths to see and live in that truth.

SmoothCrim: How can a person who freed you from Colonialism be your child??

FACT is all ghanians are Nigerian wannabe's. Even your bleeping pidgin English is a Nigerian wannabe. It hurts cos you cant just get there.

SmoothCrim: How can you be proud when you have no light and it is so smelly and hot The generator fumes are messing with your mind

Keep quiet, some moments ago when you left here to polish a customer's shoe to get money to buy airtime to come back on net I wrote something about Nigeria in darkness being brighter than ghana in light. You guys will continue to live in our shadows. Thank God your leaders have seen reason to jettison that idea of fund raising from Nigerian business men in ghana to survive an ailing economy with very poor citizens. The only business the few ghanians in Nigeria do is selling kenke and kunu in parks. You guys are poor, Dangote is richer than your country. Accept that and we will have your sympathy.

PetroDolla: Ghana, the true star of Africa, has brought nothing but glory,honour and respect to Mother Africa. The useless,shitty,nastiest, retard-ed, most phucked up shi-t hol-e country in the world called nigeria has brought nothing but shame,embarrassment and dishonour to this great continent. even Baba God is peeved and can't wait to send the garbage country into the dustbin where it belongs! Abeg make una play my music now. nigeria jagajaga, nigeria jagajaga, nigeria jagajaga. shameless bigots- you are supposed to hide your stupi-d heads in shame. tweaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. what is a nigerian good at, apart from crime?

It's sure a bleeping pain in the ass to be poor. All you do to console yourself is to hate on your rich neighbours. Nigeria jagajaga is only so being compared to Europe and developed countries but never to a very poor nation called ghana where even the same Nigerians are in control of their daily lives. Still I feel your pain, I know exactly where it hurts and to make you cry am no Ibo but a Nigerian the eternal pride of Africa.

Apart from light, you are assured of security, you don't have the entire place looking like a market place. Afterall what do you need to make an airport functional and safe? Most times their planes even come to Ghana to buy aviation fuel.

Kotoka International Airport Wins Continental Award



Kotoka International Airport has been declared the best in Africa in 2011. The award was conferred on it at the Routes Africa 2011 Conference in Bamako, Mali.

The Managing Director of the Airport, Mrs Doreen Owusu-Fianko, who received the award said the Airport emerged winner following a competitive screening process by a panel of global experts.

The final shortlist included Entebbe Airport in Uganda, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya and Sikuphe International Airport in Swaziland.

A citation preceding the presentation of the award commended the KIA for distinguishing itself in service delivery, development of new routes and attracting four major airlines from the United States and Europe to Ghana in 2011 alone.

A press release issued by the GACL in Accra on Monday said Routes in the citation also described “the astute leadership exhibited by the management of GACL , the KIA’s adherence to global best practices in safety and security as well as continuous improvements in handling facilities and development of its human capital as ‘unmatched by any other airport in Africa’”.

Mrs Owusu-Fianko said it was the KIA’s vision to be the hub and gateway for the West Africa sub-region in spite of being a small airport, adding that the airport had always prided itself in being customer friendly and was happy to have welcomed three different US Presidents to the airport.

She said in line with the agenda of “making Ghana the gateway to Africa”, management of GACL had plans to attract more global airlines to Ghana.

“We want to develop as a hub and our geographical location means we are positioned to be able to offer links to every continent in the world.”

Mrs Owusu-Fianko noted that the company was working to establish links with South Africa and the Caribbean in the next two years since they were the only missing network links.

She revealed that they would soon have regular links to Barcelona with Spanair and Doha with Qatar Airways after TAP Portugal’s recent inauguration of flights to Lisbon.

She also paid glowing tribute to the Board, Management and Staff of GACL, saying their teamwork and combined tireless efforts in delivering excellence had earned them the global recognition.

“We feel so proud to win this prestigious award,” Mrs Owusu-Fianko stated.

KIA would now go forward with other winners from the regional Routes events to compete for the overall Airport Marketing Award title which would be announced at the World Routes event in Berlin, Germany, in October.

The awards are the highest industry honours of excellence conferred on airports that have distinguished themselves in infrastructure development, adoption of modern airport technology, adherence to safety and security standards, new routes and human capital development as well as good service delivery.

The KIA works on the core principles that the people who are best placed to judge an airport’s marketing activities are its primary users: the airlines.

The primary criteria after nomination include submission of details about their route development activities and results, which would then be considered and scored based on certain parameters, including innovative ways of marketing to airlines, evidence of relationship with airlines, effectiveness and creative application.

My friend keep quiet, that kotoka thing you call airport is a mere train station compared to the old one in Enugu Nigeria. I have been there severally. Even in darkness Nigeria is brighter than ghana. Get that into your arse

PetroDolla: Keep deluding yourself, maggot. is there anything like the 'cheapest airport?' you are just phucked. give me a functional airport and I'll be happy any day. what is the point in having an aiport of whatever description that has no running water, messed toilets, no electricity to power the conveyor belts,lifts or aid aircraft landing at night, and travellers are left at the mercy of thieves?

see how embarrassingly f-oolish some of you sound? nigeria don wowo no be small and that is the stark truth. the truth, they say, is very bitter.

PetroDolla: Being a nigerian is a cross you will carry for the rest of your miserable life. nigerians are villified across the world because the whole world knows you are stinking, fucking stupid bastar-ds, terrorists, scammers and spammers, 419ners.

I know the ghana-must-go episode is still a pain in your arse. I feel the pain too cause up till date my shoes have refused to get the shine they used to get. We use una sha! kai!!! I can still remember the efforts your fathers used to put then so I can add extra money. Worship Jerry Rawlings till you all die. If not maybe you will have been saying all these poo at my feet.

SmoothCrim: We freed you from British colonialism!! Nuff said!!!

Doesn't negate the fact that you look up to us for everything. Go and ask your presidents and their wives who their mentors are. While I was in ghana my colleagues in the Takoradi power plant hang around just to hear me speak. Your girls will not let Nigerian men rest. My friend, live with this - ghana will forever be a second class citizen to Nigeria every day in this current world. Maybe in the next world that can be negotiated with God.

SmoothCrim: Then YOU will be the slave!!!

I know where your bitterness lie. The president of my great country Nigeria can never be daily friend to a ghanaian pastor. Never. Nigeria is sure a big brother to ghana for your presidents to be wanting to be this close. Even streets in accra are named after Nigeria's presidents and commoners alike. Common man, give honour to whom it is due. My state is richer and better than ghana!!!

bittyend: Egypt has three world class airports in Cairo - Nigeria has one shitty medieval airport in Lagos, yet you dolts want to defend that country, huh?

Fix up!!

I have been through Kotoka airport several times when I used to enroute takoradi power plant, that airport is not worth calling a local airport. it is the cheapest airport I have used compared only to the airport in Ndjamena, Chad. MMIA with its flaws can't be in any way compared with that airport. No matter how bad Nigeria is, it is definitely not Ghana that should stand up to it. You guys will forever remain in Nigeria's shadows. Your Presidents know this. Even South Africa respects. No amount of internet insults will change this fact. Ghana can only be compared with maybe Ekiti state in Nigeria. The Okro plant can never be taller than its owner. A slave is a slave and a master is a master. You internet warriors should live with that.

Billyonaire: The question is; Who isn't a thief in the House of Reps ?

The question is who is not a thief in the whole of Nigerian government?

GOOD MORNING PEOPLE. PLEASE ASSIST WITH THESE VIN CHECKS WVWZZZ1JZXD393484, 4T1BE32K95U5671666. THANKS AND GOD BLESS

Billyonaire: If Oshiom/Ole lied. He has lost my sympathy. PDP can take his place

Keep quiet my friend, Oshiomole never had your sympathy any day. nairaland knows where your allegiance is. And PDP will never take his place. Gang of economy rapists..

nuclearboy: Finally, something sensible is showing! We may never know ALL the truth but it was ridiculous to believe one side without allowing the other speak! Both sides were setting traps for the other but theere always is a beginning and the issue of motive - who gains more?

This case should go to open court and then we will know the truth rather than this railroading because the "powers that be" are on one side!

Sentiments rule all of our daily lives in Nigeria. You hardly see anyone who is totally devoid of this in our midst. Every one has an interest to protect as the whole corruption, Boko Haram and militancy issues play out in Nigeria. In everything ,the future lies on the chopping block.

As earlier advised we all should not rush to conclusions and condemn either of the parties. The movie will always play out to the end for everyone to see.

DISHONOUR AMONG THIEVES : Scams within a Scam -The Video Evidence (Exclusive)
on JUNE 17, 2012 · in SPECIAL REPORT

*How SSS showed clips to Speaker Tambuwal
*Otedola faces fresh troubles
*SSS’ role in the sting operation
*Why Farouk was not immediately arrested

This is the chronology of a now inconclusive sting operation conducted by the Department of State Service, otherwise referred to as the SSS, involving House of Representatives member and Chairman, Committee on Subsidy Management, Lawan Farouk, and oil and gas magnate, Femi Otedola. The complicity of both men in this latest scam signposts a deeper mentality of dishonourable conduct that is pervasive in Nigeria.

By Jide Ajani

Femi Otedola and Lawan Farouk made a mockery of purity – they both wore white clothes in the video which showed them giving and collecting bribe.

The SSS swept the house before the operation was set up. They had to. They called it a STING OPERATION. It was set up at the palatial Aso Drive, Abuja residence of Otedola, the oil and gas magnate. The set-up was for bugging devices for an audio visual operation. With a camera pen for the visuals, ultra-sensitive microphones that could pick the sound of the drop of pins for the audio, as well as telephone bugging devices, the SSS’ communications experts did their job of installation and left.The question to ask is, why this elaborate operation at the residence of a friend of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan?

IN THE BEGINNING, 15 BECAME 13

Because the heart of man is clouded, the truth about who approached who may never really be known, without prejudice to the claims being made by Otedola and Farouk.

The truth, however, is that one approached the other.

What is also established, moving forward, is that Otedola’s Zenon Oil and Gas collected forex to the tune of $232, 975,385.13 from the PSF whereas it did not import petrol. There was another company, Synopsis Enterprises Limited, said to have collected $51, 449, 977, for the same purpose but did not deliver – so said the report of the House Committee, presided over by Farouk.

On the second day of the presentation of the report, a Wednesday, April 24, Farouk told his colleagues on the floor of the House, that the now notorious Clause 29 (5) and (6) needed attention. That fresh information had come upon the committee which suggested that some companies were erroneously listed as beneficiaries of PSF, whereas it was merely an error and, therefore, the names of the companies should be removed from the list. The House agreed to the amendment of the report. And, therefore, Otedola’s Zenon was removed from the list of indicted companies; ditto, Synopsis.

12 HOURS EARLIER, AT OTEDOLA’S RESIDENCE
The meeting between Farouk and Otedola was meant to hold by 1am, the very first hour of April 24, 2012. It did not. 2am, it did not. At about 4am, according to the timing on the recording device, Farouk entered the premises of Otedola. There, $500,000, out of a set aside $3m, was ready in cash.

According to visuals on the recording, which Sunday Vanguard has now been privy to, Farouk came in wearing a white Kaftan – not the long flowing and sweeping Senegalese type but a three quarter/near full length design.

There was no cap to match. It was very late any way – 4am. Otedola also wore his now familiar white guinea brocade ‘buba and sokoto’. After the exchange of banters, the $500,000 was handed over to Farouk and he left.



Sometime four to five hours later, Boniface Emenalo, the secretary to the House Committee on Subsidy Management, who had been nominated by a very senior high-ranking member of this administration, entered. The recorder kept rolling. Emenalo was handed two packages containing $120,000.

Emenalo, according to the recording, was dressed in a Niger-Delta like attire. He collected the two parcels, put them in the trousers pockets which swallowed the packages – one in each pocket. The Niger Delta top did not betray the dollar cargo in the pockets of the trousers worn by Emenalo. He left. Mind you, the disputation between the combined sum of $600,000 and $620, 000 came about as a result of the alleged declaration made by Emenalo that he collected just $100,000, as against the alleged $120,000 Otedola gave to him.

The funds Otedola parted with were provided by the SSS.

It was part of the $3m that Farouk allegedly demanded for and which had been set aside for the operation. The point of convergence between the video recording of money changing hands and the now infamous bribery saga is the removal of the name of Zenon from the list of 15 later that morning on the floor of the House.

The video recording had very clear audio accompaniment.
The SSS experts moved in afterwards to develop the recording into a full fledged audio-visual production.

A copy of the recording was given to Otedola.
Now, whether Otedola made it available to former President Olusegun Obasanjo or not could not be verified.

What was verified, however, was that there was a balance of $2.5million allegedly to be collected.

THE AIRPORT RECORDING THAT NEVER HAPPENED
The next phase and scene of the sting operation was to be the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. There, the balance of the money was being kept for Farouk.

Otedola insistently told Farouk that he could not carry $2.5m cash to his residence and, therefore, wanted Farouk to meet him at the airport for the collection of the remainder of the money.

Now, whether Farouk had a premonition that he was likely to be set up or that he just didn’t want to be spotted at the airport in the company of Otedola, he simply refused to meet the oil magnate at the airport afterwards.

Instead, according to records of the telephone conversation that was bugged, Farouk instead suggested that he would send a third party to collect the money.

According to the recordings, he gave the telephone numbers of the nominee.
He, according to the recorded conversation between him and Otedola, actually spelt the name of the nominee to the Zenon Oil chief.

But all these were activities in futility.
The high command of the SSS would not have a third party collect the balance of $2.5m. A senior security source told Sunday Vanguard that the reason the airport operation was aborted was that since it was Farouk that was being expected to show up and was now planning to send another party, there was no need to continue.

Had he shown up and collected the money, he would have been arrested immediately, a source confirmed.

WHY FAROUK WAS NOT ARRESTED EARLIER
In fact, Sunday Vanguard was made to understand that the “only reason he was not arrested at the residence of Otedola that early morning was because options would be limited in proving that the episode was bribery related; and Farouk could insist that he was just set up, with cash brought in to justify the action”.

More importantly, sources said that “arresting Farouk on the morning of the day he was supposed to be presenting the continuation of the report of the committee, especially since Zenon’s name was still on the list of 15, would appear as if he was to be pressured into removing the oil firm’s name and, when he refused, he was set up for blackmail”.

According to a security source, such a “development would have made it appear again as if the government of the day simply decided to overshadow the presentation of the report with the arrest of Farouk”. These were the issues that weighed heavily on the minds of the SSS high command. They let Farouk go.
All these were not known to the lawmaker .

SPEAKER TAMBUWAL
AS A GUEST OF SSS

Once the operation at the airport was inconclusive, but with Farouk removing Zenon’s name from the list of 15, it was time for the SSS high command to act swiftly.

Later that same week, the Command invited Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Speaker of the House of Representatives, to its office in Asokoro. He obliged.

Upon his arrival, he was met by the Director General, DG, Ita Ekpeyong. A source disclosed to Sunday Vanguard that after the pleasantries, the Speaker was entertained with the recording of the morning of April 24, with the star actors being Emenalo, Farouk and Otedola. It was a totally astounded Tambuwal who was said to have watched in utter amazement footages from the recording.
He was informed of the sting operation which was set up by the SSS.
He was also informed of the botched operation meant for the airport.
The Speaker was made to understand that what he saw that transpired in the video led to the actions of Farouk on the floor of the House whereupon Zenon’s name was removed from the list of 15.
While the DG was said to be doing the briefing, it was a Tambuwal, with dropped jaws, who listened in awe and shock. On conditions of confidentiality, what transpired between the Speaker and his host can not be reproduced here.

However, Sunday Vanguard was told that “the Speaker simply said they should call Farouk and show him the recording; that he should come and answer ‘his father’s name’”.
Upon arrival back in his office, Tambuwal reportedly summoned Farouk and gave him a thorough dressing down.

FAROUK’S CLAIM
Farouk initially insisted that there was nothing of such. He denied any such thing as collecting any money from any marketer.

It was learnt from associates of Farouk that he also thought “he was doing a sting operation on Otedola; that he collected the money with a view to exposing him; that he wanted to collect the balance before presenting it all to members of the House and the public”.

In addition, Farouk, in a confidential briefing with Sunday Vanguard in April, had hinted at the development.

He disclosed that “one of the marketers wanted me to come and collect money from him at the airport but we are watching him and, when the time comes, we would expose him and the others”.

He also granted an interview published on April 28, in another newspaper, where he openly made the claims that an attempt was being made to bribe him and that some people were even threatening his life over the subsidy probe.
Farouk maintained that he planned to expose Otedola by going full length and playing along. Why he did not carry others along remains a mystery.

AND THE MATTER BLEW OPEN

Police sources confirmed, last Friday, that “contrary to what was being published, it was the police who first wrote Farouk, seeking to know who the people that were piling pressure on him were and those who were behind the threat to his life”.

The lawmaker responded to the police request and that actually marked the beginning of investigation into the matter.

Sunday Vanguard was also made to understand that investigations by the police had commenced before the matter blew into the open.

Indeed, it was the panic move by some powerful people both in the corridors of power and a few who rose in defense of Farouk that unwittingly blew the whistle in their bid to keep the matter out of public glare.

It was learnt that a very disappointed senior government official, who brought Emenalo in to work with the committee, had suspected that the matter was already being handled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC and made a move to find out the culpability of his ward. This was also another act which unwittingly blew the lid off.
By penultimate Saturday, it had become obvious that the matter had spread like wild fire in the House.

This was what necessitated the statement from the House leadership declaring that it would investigate the matter fully. Meanwhile, Farouk has been suspended indefinitely by the House.
And Otedola’s Zenon and Synopsis have been re-indicted by the House of Representatives’ Committee of the whole.

THE SEQUEL CONTINUES NEXT SUNDAY

ojeffo: The Gospel According To ‘Saint’ Farouk
June 13th, 2012 by zebbook

Chapter 1

1)  And it came to pass after these things, on the first day of the first month of the twelfth year after the second millennium, that king Jona son of Bele announced to the people saying; there is no money left in the royal treasury, and the future of the kingdom is in great danger.

2) Therefore, a measure of oil shall no longer sell for three scores of silver and seven, but shall now be seven scores of silver and one. But the people grumbled aloud, and said unto another, what shall it profit our king to gain all these oil money and lose his throne?

3) For it is appointed unto him to reign but once, and after this prison, for many are the atrocities which he has committed.

4)  So they said unto the king, eat thou thy food in peace in the palace, and surround thou thyself with thine women, only touch not our oil price and do thy people no harm.

5) But the king would not listen, and said unto himself, I know my people, they shall only grumble for a while and soon they shall forget.

6) But the people would not forget, for the burden was too much for them to bear, and they said; now unto him that is able to increase the price of oil exceeding abundantly above all that his people can bear or think, according to the greed which worketh in him;

7) Unto him be curses in the streets by the masses throughout all ages, protests without end.

So they took to the streets and gave the land no peace, and there was no going out or coming in throughout the kingdom for two weeks, and the king feared greatly and said to himself, surely these people shall overturn me if I answer them not.

9) So he called the head of the labourers unto the palace, and gave him bags of gold, that he mayest turn off the wrath of the people against the king.

End of Chapter 1
Chapter 2

1) So the king assembled the people and said unto them; a measure of oil shall no longer be seven scores of silver and one, but shall now be four scores of silver, one dozen and five, to this your leaders have agreed. Praise me now therefore for I am a benevolent king.

2) And after all these, the Loudspeaker of the House of People said, let us inquire into the king’s claim that there be no money in the royal treasury. So they appointed Farcrook, son of Lawal.

3) And said unto him, gather ye now all the oil sellers, that we may know who stole from the kingdom. This did him with diligence, and came back with his report saying

4) Thieves abound in the land, and so have the oil sellers stole from the people, and gave them not oil, this they did with the help of Aliyaro the king’s mistress; and the amount he mentioned was unheard of in the land.

5) When the people heard this, they were dismayed, and sorrow gripped their hearts.

6) But the oil sellers went in unto the king in his chamber, and said; rememberest thou O king that the what we stole did we make available to thy campaign, and by thus did we make you king.

7) If thou deliver us unto the people that they may punish us, we will hold not our tongue to tell the people that thou art one of us.

And they said unto him, how else shall we destroy the message if not to destroy the messenger? Let us therefore implicate Farcrook the son of Lawal in this matter.

9) So they sent a certain rich man from the West by the name Otedollar, and he took Farcrook into his house and gave him some money, that he may alter the report which he had set before the people.

10) And it was that Otedollar went before an assembly of the people and said unto them, trust ye this man who said we stole from the treasury? Surely he is one of us, for he came unto me in the middle of the night, and he left with his pockets full of money.

End of Chapter 2
Chapter 3

1) And the people where amazed, and their hearts bled, for Farcrook was a man in whom they had put their trust.

2) So Farcrook arose, and said; Otedollar is my briber, I did not request. He maketh me to sit down in his Maitama house; he leadeth me beside the chilled champagne.

3) He exploited my greed; he leadeth me in the path of marked dollars for subsidy’s sake.

4) Yea, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of EFCC, I will fear no arrest: for bribes are with me; my loots and my kickbacks they comfort me.

5) Thou preparest the dollars before me, in the presence of the SSS: thou anointest my mouth with wine; my pocket runneth over.

6) Surely the shame and reproach shall follow me all the days of my life, but I will dwell in the house of PDP forever and ever.

7) And the people wept, but there was no one to console them...Pls sum1 add Chapter 4!

Nairaland the best medicine for all ailments. Even Alibaba, Ay, Basketmouth, I go die et al put together cannot contend. Every Nigerian need this medicine as a daily dose for all these sickness occasioned by our so called leaders and representatives.

Beaf: No need for that, I would suggest handing it over to upright citizens like Wole Soyinka and Olisa Agbakoba. People who are totally independent of govt and who are fully invested in a positive future for Nigeria.

Hmmmmmm, you just bought my coveted unbiased and non-partisan mind with this statement of yours. This is if you really mean this. I thought you have a war against any one who criticizes the government of the day. Kudos

Beaf: You really sound stup!d now. So if you believe that courts, processes and trials exist, what are you here arguing about?
Farouk Lawan will be tried and jailed. Right now, he is being investigated by the EFCC.

Why is the clamping of a criminal so painful to you, if not that you are either a criminal yourself or a fool?

Where are you getting your reports from brother? The EFCC just confirmed they have not received any case involving Farouk from anybody. So where is the investigation and jailing of Farouk coming from? The last is not being heard of all these stories. We are counting days and we all must see the bottom of this.

Is anybody reading that part of this story that says EFCC is denying to have received any tape from Otedola? Siddon look na dog name. Nigerians are watching

Hope they come out with two credible, sell-able, truly detribalised and religiously unbiased candidates. Though the PDP will always scout for a dangerous garb to wear them, Nigerians need to be wise enough this time around. Change is desperately needed as it's only a fool who will do same thing the same way every time and expect different results. The devil we know kills faster than angels in the bush!

2015: Buhari, Tinubu bury ambitions, to anoint candidate


Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, presidential candidate in the April 2011 election, General Muhammadu Buhari, and leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, may have agreed to bury their differences and aspirations as the CPC and ACN rapprochement continues to gather momentum.


Gen. Mohammed Buhari discussing with Former Governor of Lagos State Bola Tinubu at a meeting in Abuja
The two met in Kaduna at the residence of Buhari last Thursday. Both men also drove together to Kano to the waiting embrace of a mammoth crowd.

It was gathered, at the weekend, that discussions between both men centred on how to proceed preparatory to the 2015 general elections.

Of specific concern, Sunday Vanguard was told by a source privy to the meeting, was the issue of presenting a “united front for the presidential engagement”.

Although talks are still on, the source said that one of the first steps to be taken by each of the parties “would be the movement towards the centre”.

To this end, both men are said to be disposed to a compromise that “would see each relegating his ambition for the common good of the proposed alliance”.

If all goes well, both men, according to our source, would seek and anoint candidates for the presidential election.

In fact, the reason both leaders have decided to commence talks in earnest is “just so they would avoid the type of last minute rancour that led to the collapse of talks last year”, a source said.

It would be recalled that last-minute efforts by the ACN and CPC to forge an alliance for last year’s presidential election collapsed.

The inability of each of the party’s leaders to subsume their ambitions led to the collapse of the talks.

How much can you get me brand new ipod touch 4th generation 64gb white to be delivered in Portharcourt? Also brand new ipad3 64gb white, 32gb white, torch2 white

Beaf: All anyone has to do nowadays is publish manufactured material concerning any huge payment in Sahara Reporters and NL proclaims it a scandal.
I wasn't interested in the other topic about this matter that was based on the usual ethereal "sources" and was ridiculous beyond measure.
It is stup!d to say that Shell was laundering money through Etete (whose money. FG officials somehow got), it is just daft and off scale.

How is the FG concerned in a dispute between Shell and Malabu? Apart from that the FG handles oil transactions. Once again, it was a commercial dispute between Shell and Malabu - two independent, private companies.

These days though, many seem to take pride in not understanding what they are reading. Simply add the word "billion" and many stop reasoning altogether. That isn't good enough.

Anyway, I've had enough of these brainless topics designed for winshes and lovers of negative "news."

Beaf: The most I can make from the matter is that it is a battle between Etete and the Abacha's, cos the Abacha's are stinging from being dumped from the company.

Anyway, winshes, enjoy unasef jare! Winshes must fly and suck blood anyway!
All hail Obubra airways!

Must you make all these daft defence all the time? Even if you are doing your job as Presidential spokesperson on Nairaland matters can't you just pass some obvious issues of corruption hanging on your paymaster? With that daft defence from Adoke it still doesn't dawn on you to think that this your principal is just as corrupt as Ibori, Odili, Babangida, Igbinedion, etc? Anyway, do your job, you sure need to put food on your family's table whether Nigerians are dying from the effects of corruption or not. Corruption has turned to a way of life here and your generation yet unborn will suffer too from it. Enjoy your proceeds now......

You people should stop using the blood of the youth corpers that died as a tool to blacklist or blackmail anyone. What about the Nigerians that die daily from lack of medical care occasioned by successive irresponsible governments? Is that the making of Buhari? Or is it the numbers of daily accidents that kill several people? Is that also the fault of Buhari's statements? You people should face this present clueless and super corrupt government that is being tarnished daily with official corrupt cases and leave the poor man to make his statements. If you feel so much for youth corpers tell your President to take their monthly allowances seriously lest they all die of hunger very soon in their various serving posts. Continue dwelling on statements made by one man and ignore the cases of massive corruption going on in the current government. You and your future generations will pay dearly for it. Just as they are trying to rigmarole in the fuel subsidy issue another massive 1 billion dollar executive fraud is currently running both in Nigerian and the international airwaves and you are here dwelling on an obvious and so true statement made by Buhari. All of una go suffer die for this country...una never see anything.

I used to respect this elderly statesman. This same Jonathan disgraced him when he attempted to support another candidate against the anointed Uduaghan in the last election in delta state. Now he has been compromised by the same Uduaghan and have turned to be "His Son". He is now here blabbing about Jonathan even with all the glaring incompetencies and corruption laden system that he runs. Wither honour in all these aged men in Nigeria?

When there's confusion in the enemies camp, victory is just a stone throw away.

  Just one day

@Kobo let the can of worms continue to open in succession. Thank God there is a document now to hold on to. But one day, Truth is the Judiciary and not the Executive is the bane of Nigeria's democracy. These are people we used to see as next to God in our growing years. As we speak even the truck pusher has more dignity than they have. SMHID
