[size=13pt]Why are the charges mostly in his companies' names? We didn't hear Buhari declared assets acquired by Union Bank Plc as his own, neither did we see Oshinbajo's assets including his law firm's assets. Question, do assets belonging the the limited liability companies automatically belong to the promoters who are not involved in the running of these companies? As per foreign accounts, Tinubu was charged for the same thing but was discharged and acquitted. Some of his supporters even accompanied him to the tribunal then, while claiming that the law is 'ancient' and need to be changed. Why will Bola Tinubu be discharge and acquitted by the Code of Conduct Tribunal only to charge Bukola Saraki for the same 'offense'? Over to Bukola Saraki to defend himself. [/size] |

patrick89:[size=13pt]Don't be naive, the CNN you watch in Nigeria is not the same they see inside America. For every Tribune, Punch, Daily Trust etc, there's also Radio Biafra and co. The problem is the consumer of these news. They are not educated enough to know their left from their right. They don't know that their minds are the targets of falsehood designed as news. The social media, as a leveler, is there to push your own agenda if you desire.[/size] |

[size=13pt]Very impressive. This commendable effort should be emulated by as many parishes and churches as possible. The Church should continue in this national-moral rebirth by enacting strict codes in the conduct of examinations in its schools across the country. [/size] |
Okobaba1:[size=13pt]Buhari: Military Offensive against Boko Haram, Anti-north, Articles Gen. Muhammadu Buhari By John Shiklam in Kaduna Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) National Leader, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, has criticised the declaration of state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States and the subsequent military offensive against the Boko Haram Islamic sect. Buhari, who featured on the “Guest of the Week,” a Hausa programme of the Kaduna-based Liberty Radio, yesterday said the federal government’s action was a gross injustice against the north. According to him, unlike the special treatment the federal government gave to the Niger Delta militants, the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished. He said he was not in support of the declaration of state of emergency in the three north-eastern states because President Goodluck Jonathan had failed from the outset in addressing the security situation in the country. Besides, Buhari added that the security challenges facing the country started in the Niger Delta region where he alleged that politicians desperate to retain their positions as governors recruited youths and armed them to enable them win elections by force. According to Buhari, who fielded questions in Hausa language before the English version of the programme, “What is responsible for the security situation in the country was caused by the activities of Niger Delta militants. “Every Nigerian that is familiar with what happened knows this. The Niger Delta militants started it all. What happened is that the governors of the Niger Delta region at that time wanted to win their elections, so they recruited the youths and gave them guns and bullets and used them against their opponents to win elections by force. “After the elections were over, they asked the boys to return the guns, the boys refused to return the guns. Because of that, the allowance that was being given to the youths by the governors during that time was stopped. “The youths resorted to kidnapping oil workers and were collecting dollars as ransom. Now a boy of 18 to 20 years was getting about $500 in a week, why will he go to school and spend 20 years to study and then come back and get employed by government to be paid N100,000 a month; that is if he is lucky to get employment? “So kidnapping became very rampant in the south-south and the south-east. They kidnapped people and were collecting money. “How did Boko Haram start? We know that their leader, Mohammed Yusuf, started his militancy and the police couldn’t control them and the army was invited. He was arrested by soldiers and handed over to the police. “The appropriate thing to do, according to the law, was for the police to carry out investigations and charge him to court for prosecution, but they killed him, his in-law was killed, they went and demolished their houses. “Because of that, his supporters resorted to what they are doing today. “You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua sent an airplane to bring them, he sat down with them and discussed with them, they were cajoled, and they were given money and granted amnesty. “They were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north are being killed and their houses demolished. They are different issues, what brought this? It is injustice.” Buhari also explained why he joined politics after his release from detention by former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, saying that his close associates and those who knew him very well convinced him to join partisan politics. He said those who knew him, knew that he took on positions of responsibility without begging anyone for appointments. “I was a military governor in a state that has been divided into six states today; I was minister of petroleum for four years and six months. I was a military head of state. But because these people know how I live my life, they were not coming to beg me for money. They were coming to ask me to comment on issues that affected the nation,” he added. He said further that the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 also shaped his attitude to politics. “When I joined partisan politics in April 2002, in my ward in Daura, (Katsina State), they kept on coming. And then one significant thing at the global level happened, the Soviet Union collapsed. “Out of the Soviet Union, there are now about 18 or 19 republics and that conclusively proved to me as an individual that the multi-party system is the best form of democracy, but with the big caveat that elections must be free and fair. That is how I arrived in CPC today, but first from APP to ANPP to CPC," he said. Buhari lamented that God has blessed Nigeria with human and natural resources, but “we have failed to organise ourselves”, stressing that one of the problems bedevilling the country is bad leadership. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/buhari-military-offensive-against-boko-haram-anti-north/149256/[/size] |
Okobaba1:[size=13pt]Azazi blames Boko Haram attacks on PDP The National Security Adviser, Andrew Owoye Azazi has blamed the rise of insurgence by the fundamentalist sect, Boko Haram in the country on the internal wranglings of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and other political parties. The retired General made this known during the second day of the South-south economic summit where the collapse of the nation’s security challenge was deliberated on. Tracing the rise of Boko Haram’s attack, the chief security adviser to the president stated that “the extent of violence did not increase in Nigeria until when there was a declaration by the current president that he was going to contest.” “PDP got it wrong from the beginning, from the on-set by saying Mr A can rule, Mr A cannot rule ……according to PDP’s convention, rules and regulation and not according to the constitution and that created the climate for what has manifest itself, this way.” He added that there is some level of political undertone to the problem. He also noted that the bombings, suicide attacks and jail breaks that have been raging the northern part of the country “could be traced to the politics of exclusion of the PDP in the region.” Blaming the notion of anointing candidates and the ‘do or die’ attitude of the political party, Retired General Azazi asked why “is it possible that somebody was thinking that only Mr. A could win, and that if he could not win, there would be problems in this society?” “Let’s examine all these issues to see whether the level of violence in the North East just escalated because Boko Haram suddenly became better trained, better equipped and better funded, or something else was responsible.” “It takes very long for somebody to be a sniper,” Mr. Azazi said. He affirmed the level of sophistication of the group but also gave assurance that the government is aware of all their doings in a bid to addressing the issue. “I can assure you that Boko Haram can garner that level of sophistication over time, if it has not got it already. There are a lot we know that they are doing, and there are a lot that could be done to address the problem.” “But, then I must also be quick to point out that today, even if all the leaders that we know in Boko Haram are arrested, I don’t think the problem would end, because there are tentacles. I don’t think that people would be satisfied, because the situations that created the problems are not just about the religion, poverty or the desire to rule Nigeria. I think it’s a combination of everything. Except you address all those things comprehensively, it would not work” he added. On a final solution, the security adviser discourage just the use of force but called for a collective effort to address the economic problems of the north saying “it is not enough for us to have a problem in 2009 and you send soldiers to stop the situation, then tomorrow you drive everybody underground. You must look at what structures you need to put in place to address the problem holistically. There are economic problems in the North, which are not the exclusive prerogative of the Northerners. We must solve our problems as a country.” He noted that the relationship between national security and development is inseparable, because “one cannot do without the other” the NSA said.

[size=13pt]They started surrendering since May 29th, the first few weeks following the hand over witnessed very low activities that it seemed the plan was going to be too obvious, they had to somehow continue the carnage but with reduced casualties. It would be good if they end it at this time and save innocent lives. It would also be cheering news if they bring out the girls now. There's no point holding them any further. [/size] |

obailala:[size=13pt]Must you people just defend anything that concerns your god so blindly? We already know you are in bondage, why all the efforts to show it every time?

Fani-Kayode's case was diligently prosecuted and the court discharged and acquitted him. Try reading, even if it's once in a year. You will be liberated.[/size] |

Sokoto was being led to his house for a house search when he escaped from police officers led by Bui. N50m reward was placed for anyone with information that would lead to Sokoto’s rearrest. Bui went on military trial in 2012 following which he was found guilty and dismissed from the Force http://leadership.ng/news/458770/kabiru-sokoto-police-reverses-zakari-bius-dismissal-promotes-2-cps-to-aigs[/size] |
[size=13pt]He he he he he he! These are some of what the dullard said during campaigns; 'I won't pay subsidy', 'I don't know what subsidy means', 'Who is subsidizing who?', 'In our time we issued allocation for overseas refining for our local consumption' (that was eons ago, mind you) 'I will build refineries' 'Refineries are not working because of corruption' Bla bla bla (Ba ba black sheep, actually) M.o.r.o.n.s in government. How much subsidy will they pay to these licensees? Any figure from the eternal worshippers of the commander-in-cheat? [/size] |
jayfolarin:Where are those 'saner climes'? You heard what people are saying and trying to copy them right? Well, those 'saner climes' actually PUBLISH their TAX RETURNS not some phantom assets where someone will not make public the worth of his house while also claiming to own a property he is yet to locate. Now that the dullard who 'promised everything and also promised nothing' (a variant of 'belonging to everybody and nobody') has bowed to public pressure by making his assets declaration public, shall we ask him to also publish his TAX RETURNS in order for us to make sense of his obedience to tax laws? That is what is done in 'saner climes', my friend. |
[size=13pt]No big deal. Someone else will surely SACK the current ones after 4 years (or 8 years) too. The woman should have naturally resign immediately the elections were over. You can't expose a 'sinister' organization the way she did and still function effectively in that settings. [/size] Her famous allegation against the APC then - “We had provided security for election in Edo and at the end of that election permit me to say there was no bomb blast. We moved to Ondo and the Labour Party won in Ondo, there was bomb blast. We moved to Anambra and APGA won in Anambra, there was bomb blast. We moved to Ekiti, PDP won in Ekiti, there was bomb blast. We thank God that we were able to deploy appropriately. The results have come out and the APC has won and thank God there was no bomb blast. We should thank God that since after the Osun State election there has been no bomb blast. Glory be to God. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-IlyOUvv9Y ” |
