I see this government as being hypocritical, anytime the fulani herdsmen destroy farms kill people the government would not do anything but the moment there is retaliatory action you would different Gov organs swinging to action, it makes me wonder if all all are equal in this country. BUT WE ARE OBSERVING

Politics / Re: Tribute To Alamco: Nigeria’ll Never Be The Same For Me Without You- James Ibori by portside(m): 7:07am On Apr 09, 2016
The truth one day will come out, though I might not stand will Ibori on the economical aspects of his tenure as a Gov but I will stand with him politically as it concerns the development and the struggles to make the Niger delta a better place to live in. I say this with all convictions because whilst ago Sen Saraki was a saint in APC but the moment he became the Senate President as against their wish, he has automatically become a criminal who is under going trails and travails at the CCT.

EFCC is only used by autocratic governments to repress the perceived political enemies, people say the EFCC was not active under GEJ government, yes because he was not after any of his political enemies but the present administration is using it as two ways sword(political enemies and enemies of the commonwealth of NIG

Politics / PMB Anti-corruption War May Fail - Sani by portside(m): 1:54pm On Nov 08, 2015
an exclusive chat with Vanguard, Sani revealed that President Buhari will also need to fight off stiff opposition that may arise from some interests which comprise the forces that brought him to power, a situation he believes may put the Nigerian leader in a really difficult situation.





President Muhammadu Buhari may not win his fight against corruption in the country.



President Muhammadu Buhari may not win his fight against corruption in the country.
He said: “When you fight to defeat an enemy, you need all the support and solidarity as well as all the backing to achieve that. At that time, you are blind to realities and the character and content of those backing you. By the time you are on the seat of power, you have to battle entrenched interests who were part of the forces that brought you to power.

“One of the biggest undoing of people who came on a high moral high ground to power is having to detach themselves from entrenched interest and it is clear that what the entrenched interest do each time they study the possibility of a depth of government is that they jump ship and then become a liability.

“Why Obasanjo was not able to spark off his reform from the early time has to do with the fact that in his earlier years in power, he had to please and appease those very forces who aided him into power. When you embark on such policy of pleasing and appeasing, you will sacrifice a legacy and your opportunity to perform.


“So, a leader has a choice either to be on the side of the people and not entrenched interest or to appease entrenched interests and sacrifice performance and delivery and this is the challenge before the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

“If you have found yourself in power, and faced with the problem of paucity of foreign exchange and then you have to deal with rice importers who were part of the contributors to the campaign, then, you will have your conscience to fight.”

Sani also suggested that the president needs to break away from the undoing of the government of the past and move forward, without which he does not believe the former military administrator will be able to handle his own administration properly.
“In all sense of the word, entrenched interest has been the undoing of the government of the past and also a big challenge to President Muhammadu Buhari to break away from them and move Nigeria forward.

“Nigeria’s history of anti corruption trial is a media and political war that begins in the media and end up in politics. That is why in all the 140 prisons in the nation today, you don’t find people who have looted billions and millions of dollars in the cells.

“When you visit the prisons in Nigeria today, most of those you see there are pick pockets, motor park touts, small scale advanced fee fraud persons who have no resource to get out, petty drug peddlers, prostitutes and miscreants in the society.

“We have reached a point in Nigeria where we have to depend on the judicial system of other countries to be able to able to recover our country and recover our money from those who looted our money. If we don’t exorcise politics out of our anti corruption crusade, it is most likely going to be polluted. We treat corruption in Nigeria with kid’s gloves. We pamper and glorify corrupt people.

“If there is any difference that President Muhammadu Buhari will make is to prove that he can do what other people could not do. The World Bank is telling us now that over $7 billion of Abacha loot is still in the custody of banks across the world. This is a nation where there are people who still see Abacha as a hero.

“We need to ask ourselves whether if Abacha was alive today, would we have heard the billions which he had stolen or are we are still in a country whereby the billions which you have stolen is only heard of or known when you have been arrested by the security forces of other countries or you must have died or fallen out of favour with the party or government in power?” he queried.

Senate president Bukola Saraki’s present trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) is seen as one of the ways the president is showing that he is ready to fight corruption in the country, but on the other hand many observers and commentators believe the prosecution of the former national security adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki, is a witch hunt.

The disagreement came as result of the management paying foreigners #2000000 loadout bonus while they only provided lunch for the Nigerian workers which is #200 while it was the Nigerian who does the most job.

I've been a believer of this chibok scam, as far am concern it was a grand master conspiracy by the northern elite to wipe up public sympathy internationally and locally in undermining the GEJ administration, Now that they succeeded in their grand plot there will absolutely be no need for the BBOG campaigners, but another propaganda will be sold to Nigerians to believe in the coming days about their rescue and escape. Still I will not be part those believers.

Now that's a President talking.

In other words, the kids gloves have been taken off. The Kids Gloves that President Goodluck Jonathan wore during his tenure, and finally some real MAN has arrived to BUHARI the ATEKE'S,TOMPOLO,ASARI,EDWARD CLARK.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it’s natural manure.(Thomas Jefferson) So, if it is people from my part of Nigeria(SS) that wants to hold us back, then i say let us water the tree of Liberty with their bloods. Jerry Rawlings did it in Ghana, and today Ghana is reaping the rewards.

We cannot allow any region in Nigeria, hold us back from marching ahead.

people like you made USA predict that Nigeria would disintegrate 2015 but it was GEJ who unshelfishly keep this country moreso if this is what the idiot people like you want then we in SS will use what region you came to water the tree of liberty

Any peace been experience in the Niger delta is orchestrated by late president Ya'adua of blessed memories. So therefore ameachi should shut the f**k up
