Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and his henchmen in government killed Nigeria financially. To the extent that states government in Nigeria are now struggling to pay salaries of its workers.

Another 4 years of President Jonathan as President of Nigeria would have been a disaster for Nigeria.

I am wondering why a corrupt man like Jonathan was invited to monitor Tanzania General election when there are corrupt cases against him back home in Nigeria.

All this difficulties President Buhari is facing trying to kick start his government is largely caused by Former President Jonathan and his corrupt pdp government.

Senator Murray Bruce with his desire to play to the gallery will just open his loud mouth and be criticising Buhari while ignoring the havoc caused by President Jonathan.

This corrupt allegation against Jonathan is just a tips of the iceberg more corrupt cases will surface as the Buhari administration carry out a review of the books.

President Buhari must intensify the anti-corruption war as that is only way the Nigeria nation can survive the effect of this intensive stealing.

Imagine Nigeria currently begging India to come and buy our oil when we should be feeding fat on the oil savings we have had all this years

Shocker As DPP Withdraws Graft Charges Against Ex-Governor Timipre Sylva

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK

JUN 01, 2015

Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today clashed in a Federal Court with Nigeria’s Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) as the DPP showed up in court to quash corruption charges against former Governor Timipre Sylva of Bayelsa State. The legal drama also had political ramifications as some observers pointed to the event as a reversal of President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign promise to fight corruption. 

A lawyer representing the DPP, O.J. Nnadi, who is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), shocked the courtroom audience Monday as he moved a motion asking Justice E.S. Chukwu of the Federal High Court in Abuja to dismiss all the charges against the former governor. One lawyer in court told SaharaReporters that today’s incident “marks a disappointing abandonment by the new Muhammadu Buhari-led administration of its avowed policy of fighting corruption.” According to the lawyer, “Nigerians are going to view this development as a kind of political reward by the APC [All Progressives Congress] to one of its members, Chief Sylva. Unless this absurd situation is immediately reversed, the Nigerian people’s just expectation of a more vigorous crusade against corruption would have been dealt a huge blow.”

Obviously taken by surprise by the controversial development, the EFCC’s counsel, J.A. Ojogbane, reminded the court that the anti-corruption agency had already begun preliminary arguments in the case. He added that he and the EFCC had not been briefed beforehand about the DPP’s plan to withdraw graft charges against Mr. Sylva.

Justice Chukwu discharged and acquitted Mr. Sylva and ordered the EFCC to release his international passport to him.

After the drama in court, the EFCC later stated that the agency had consolidated the charges against the former governor with the intention of filing new charges in the future. However, an EFCC source told SaharaReporters that the statement was only an attempt by the agency to save face after today’s embarrassing drama in court. 

The source said he feared that likely would be no new charges against Mr. Sylva, adding that the former governor may have been let off the hook because of his closeness to President Muhammadu Buhari.

sylva and audu has be out of office since how many years, and ur clueless corrupt gej lack d will,d moral and integrity to send them to jail, he was busy stealing his own, and now PMB wants to be busy send his opponent to jail,because he don't have that time to steal. Guy dis is d beginning of Ur wailing, cheer-up
[size=13pt]You don't have basic understanding.

President's don't send people to jail. They don't have such powers. The judiciary convicts.

What presidents do is exercise the executive powers to investigate and prosecute in the courts. The accused is accorded his rights to answer to the charges. The courts proclaim a guilty or not guilty verdict.

Sylva's case was withdrawn from court when Buhari took over. Audu's case has been running since he left office in '03. He has not been allowed to clear his name or convicted before being rewarded with a governorship ticket.

Plus Debo Adeniran is saying that he has been sending his petition on Fashola and Mrs Adeosun to the EFCC for years now. He said he compiled them and sent to Buhari himself being a 'no-nonsense New Sherrif in Town' without any response.

Does it not make sense if these gentlemen/woman are questioned like everyone?[/size]

Sorry about the card, do you believe that one day you will be the president of our great country? If yes, what will you do if you were handed over the country, the way it was handed over to PMB, bearing in mind that, Nig Economy is largely depnding on oil, the oil price crashed to one third of what it use to be, left virtually empty treasury, deliberately, by your predesasor and co, for you to fail and all other Economic damages as inherited by PMB? I just want to have an idea of, how you can achieve those goals you set for PMB within this period.
[size=13pt]We won't tire responding to your many lame excuses after the fact.

No one set any goals for Buhari. He used his own hands and head to carry his current load.

He was aware that the 'treasury was virtually empty' long before contesting. He was aware that the crude oil price was seriously going down. Indeed, he boasted then of his super 'knowledge' of the oil sector, having served as a federal commissioner for petroleum under Obasanjo in the late '80s. He said he would 'stabilize' world oil price.

Of the 'virtually empty treasury', he boasted that he would retrieve the $20b that Sanusi said is missing, collect all the 'stolen' money and 'block' all revenue leakages including crude oil theft.

We heard that he started 'receiving' money back to the treasury with his 'body language' even before taking over. He traveled to the US and came back with the 'news' that not only will Nigeria's $150b 'stolen' money be returned, they've actually handed over to him the list of the 'corrupt' past government officials and their bank accounts.

But, just a few months into his administration, it doesn't seem the treasury is anywhere near 'virtually full'. And the situation is so precarious now that he admitted that some of his ministers have been employed just to sit around.

For a superman president like that, don't you think it's not out of place if people demand that he brings out his wand and perform the promised magic? [/size]

[size=13pt]They were being prosecuted at different courts by the EFCC.

Until suddenly, Sylva's case was withdrawn by the Attorney General's office, soon after Buhari was sworn in.

While Audu has been rewarded with an APC governorship ticket, ostensibly to tamper with evidence (i.e. vital documents and witnesses) of his own prosecution, if he is elected and sworn in as governor.[/size]

Buhari while reacting to question on the the divide in the National Assembly over Rotimi Amaechi’s confirmation as minister said he did not walk into the presidency alone hence he can not work alone and that some of those having problems at the National Assembly he had never meet them.

‘This is team work I said I know people but there are people that I accept from other people in our team that I trust without even knowing them.’

‘May be those that are having problem in the National Assembly I doubt if I have meet him in my life but then I am working with others.’
[size=13pt]Is Buhari doubting he ever met Amaechi in his life?

How about the careless looting and taking loans after losing the election? What was the benchmark for 2015 budget? Pls let PMB workout something tangible gradually. PMB is on course, he need to know how minisries were functioning then ask for suggestions from their respective perm secs before choosing the best direction and hands to do the job.
All PMB and NGA need now is morale, physical and spiritual support, not quick to point out negative side without any positive suggestion.

‘There use to be forty two minister but I think we can bearly keep half of that now because we can not afford it.

‘Other may not be substantive ministers but they will seat in the cabinet because that is what the constitution said and we can’t operate outside the constitution’
‘We are reducing the number of ministries we can’t afford to pay.’

Buhari in the interview also said that the country has no money to pay salaries as the government had to seek the Central Bank governor to look for ways to pay states workers’ salaries.

‘Where is the money? Do you know the Federal Government has to help twenty seven states out of thirty six to pay salaries?.’

‘Nigeria can not pay salaries Nigeria had to summon the Governor of the Central Bank to see how it could pay salaries not to talk of projects, agreement signed with foreign countries, counter funding and so on. The country was material vandalized and morally so.’
[size=13pt]And yet, his slaves here and everywhere are busy talking irrationally.

Meanwhile, Buhari should just admit his lack of capacity to govern a complex economy like Nigeria's. He should call for help or resign immediately.

A smart president would be outlining his strategy to deal with the situation, not talking like someone looking for pity.[/size]

[size=13pt]This government just have to come up with a loan proposal to the international lenders in the next couple of weeks. They just have to swallow whatever is left of their pride and admit that the job is bigger than them and seek for help quickly.

It's obvious their delusional 'looted trillions' story is in the realm of sophisticated hallucination.

Sharing just $390b as September revenue, with all the fabled 'blockage of leakages' is a sign that things are really getting out of hands.

And then resorting to desperate measures like slamming a whooping $5.2b fine on MTN will only expose Nigeria to vicious attacks from the international business community.

Given that this president is not known to have engaged in any major commercial activity in his entire life, apart from perhaps selling Suya and Fura de Nunu in Daura; not known to have any serious international political, economic, and diplomatic contacts/friends/influence beyond some retired/ancient military co-trainee; and lacking the requisite skill and sophistication to assemble the very best economic team beyond some known average-performed-media-packaged ex-governors and court jesters; navigating through the complex modern economic ecosystem will be a serious challenge.

You don't need to be a prophet to know that by mid-January, if things remain the way they are, there would be serious political backlash even from the most ardent 'Sai-Baba' chanters. Propaganda loses its potency where real hunger pangs begin.[/size]

Do you honestly believe that infrastructure in all the 12 universities is worth more than the value of ABU and Unilag. My guy be serious Abeg.

As for power, please can you give an estimate of how much was spent by Jonathan and how many mega watts will result from our expenditure.

Nigeria had the highest number of private jets ever during Jonathan's rule. I believe this is the only notable achievement in his rule.
[size=13pt]Oga 'facts and figures'.

After copying and pasting oil prices here and there, you've now found it extremely difficult to do a simple search on expenditure profile, why did you tire so soon? Check google on those expenditure and the 'megawatts'.

Infrastructure upgrade is still ongoing in all the federal and state universities across the country, courtesy of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund).

ABU and Unilag that you mentioned benefited hugely from Jonathan's fiscal policies. It was part of the reasons ASUU went on strike for about 6 months, they insisted the federal government include even the state universities in their infrastructure upgrade.

Comparing 3 year old universities' infrastructure with more than 50 year old ABU and Unilag is like comparing ABU and Unilag with Harvard - with a total $20b annual budget (that's about the entire annual budget of the federal government of Nigeria).

You seem to be 'bitter' about people's success. When your oil prices propaganda doesn't seem to work, you are now trying to come after private jet owners.

People have been buying private jets in Nigeria for ages. Many more people will still buy. You can buy too if you work hard and stop being hateful of success. Those people didn't wait for 5000 naira stipends from government, they got down with their lives and achieved what they achieved. [/size]
