That's a man of the people.

Right on point as always, Femi Aribisala. It should be clear to right thinking Nigerians that Buhari, being a tribalist, should not be piloting the affairs of this country at this time. He may bring about the much feared disintegration of Nigeria if he is not checked by his party.
It is becoming clearer that Nigerians entered one chance by voting Buhari.

Big congrats Dr Okonjo-Iweala. Responsible and reasonable Nigerians are proud of you. You are doing us proud in the global community. Let the ignoramuses continue to hate.

Very soon PMB will open her book of remembrance. Let her enjoy for now until we come calling.

Before your PMB opens "her book of remembrance", could you please ask him to give us a complete public declaration of assets, including that of his wife and adult children. This is so we can be sure that his hands are clean of corruption.

Greyworld:
CCB should step up and investigate evry politician n public servnt in the country. It shuldnt end with Saraki.

Of course they would not do that because this is all about witch-hunt.

Erukulele:
If they are innocent why running considering the position of his dad, if they are without armunition why will a reason senior police officer open fire. Somebody is hiding something anyway justice must prevail.

It seems you don't know about the Nigerian police. Just pray you don't get involved with them, especially the SARS. Even if they are guilty, they should have their day in court. Police should not be in the business of carrying out extrajudicial killings.

adonbilivit:
are ur kids under house arrest? are your neighbours going to pose bad influence to ur kids?

It's wrong for the house help to take the children to neighbours without the parent's permission. They could get physically abused or sexually molested. It's a big no no.

mschubby:
they are all aware of this silly attitude of hers, the husband has been threatening to send her parking if she doesn't change but even with that she's getting worse

So the husband knows. If that's the case, just let them be. Some men don't care. Just avoid visiting them so you'll not get irritated.

BrBakreez:
The truth is he feels aggrieved and the best place where he can ventilate is grieviance is the court of law, I have learnt very fast that any gibberish can be updated on social media, you can indict, prosecute, convict and sentence simulteneously on social media but a different ball game in court. You can act as the most innocent on social media but you might made to sweat it out in the court. I have friends in kwara and I have spent some time there too. Most of those allegation predates when he emerged senator and senate president respectively. In other words, kwarans are mostly at the receiving end of all the alleged atrocities. Nigerians I believe are yet to see the real man called Saraki but he has just displayed two cards among which is the circumstance in which he emerged Senate President and the Kangaroo investigation of EFCC chairman over a petition brought by a convicted criminal in USA despite stringent opposition by Senators that due process had not been followed. If Saraki wants the informed minds to take him serious let him take the Code of Conduct Bureau to court for defamation of character. At least that agency does not have immunity the last time I checked. I believe he has gotten to the peak of his political career hence cannot stretch beyond its elastic limit except he is ready to collapse beyond proportion. Nigerians are watching with keen interest. The "we" I refer to are the enlighten Kwarans particularly and Nigerians generally who knows the man called Saraki beyond the praise and worship you might want to do. I have not referred to him as guilty in any way but we would love him to brace up like a gentle man who understands the law of the land to have them pay for the price

So you think the EFCC chairman is innocent of the allegations against him because the petition is written by a "convicted criminal".
So how come you are not also advising the chairman to approach the court?
The allegations in that petition which I read seem easy and straight forward to verify. The petition must be taken seriously and
investigated. No selective fight against corruption.

He sounds confident and convincing. He seems ready to meet his accusers in court.
I believe that most Nigerian public office holders are guilty of what he is being
accused of. I hope he can pull this off because I like his independent posture in the
the senate. I don't want a rubber stamp senate.
I suspect his problems are coming from Tinubu's camp. He should also do the needful
and get his camp working on Tinubu. Those who live in glass houses should not throw
stones.
And he can help to expose everyone by initiating bills at the senate to make assets
declaration public.

Deardeals:
nonsense gay man!!!
The airline doesn't belong to Adeboye, It belongs to Emmanuel Aviation!!!

See what Sahara liars reporters have caused!! .... baseless and needless criticism!!!

And who owns Emmanuel Aviation?

Good job by the CCB. They should thoroughly check the rest of the former governors's and and current governors's assets declarations and file charges as appropriate. I believe most of the former and current governors and political office holders would be guilty of the same offences.
No selective prosecution please. No witch hunting. This is why we must change the law to require public declaration of assets. These false declarations could have been detected by the attentive public long before now.

Atiku presido And Alamieyeseigha Vp... See combination Their own for worst past Jona&Sambo govt. Awon Ole... Seriously 9ja for don finish

Is 9ja still not finished?

Kudos to the police.

ddippset:
even If buhari drops them, is he dropping them because he has used and dumped them or is he dropping them because those who hate them and are still angry at jonathan's loss have sponsored several campaigns against them? Guy try get sense small now, you don old o! About amaechi :he's still an APC chieftain; he can walk in and our of aso rock at will; he had a battle with Jonathan and he kicked Jonathan out of office; he's masterminding the removal if wike at the tribunal and so far wike is as good as gone; he's served for 8 years as speaker of rivers state house of assembly and another 8 years as the governor of one of the richest States in Nigeria ;he's stikningly rich. So how has amaechi lost a battle and a war? Common shut your mouth there.

It's interesting you said Amaechi is stinkingly rich. So how did he get stinkingly rich? Is it not by embezzling Rivers State money? Does he really deserve to be rewarded for embezzling Rivers State money?

**Just to name a few**

All very sensitive portfolios. All the "juicy" ministries were manned by southerners/Christians, yet PMB has a pastor as his SGF.

Infact, Nigeria's finances was basically in the hands of southerners (especially our Igbo brothers):

Min of Finance - Ngozi O Iweala (Igbo)
CBN - Godwin Emefile - (Igbo)
SEC - Aruma Oteh
NSE - Oscar Onyema (Igbo)
AMCON - Mustafa Chike-Obi (Igbo)
PENCOM - Reuben Omotowa
FIRS - Ifueko Omogui
NMRC - Charles Inyangette
DG, Budget Office - Bright Okogu (Igbo)

Are you guys not tired of this nonsense yet? Why don't you list all the appointments made by GEJ so that people can judge. Or are you trying to be clever by half?

Excellent and well articulated write up. Me too, I have not observed any fight against corruption. We are watching but it's not looking good.

kulikuli26:
I think someone should please provoke Fayose. This provocation can only be in 0the interest of the masses. But who takes what he says serious?

Of course a lot of people do take him serious, including me. Remember he won election as governor.
Buhari was marketed to Nigerians as poor, as the only former head of state without a property in Abuja. Now we discover it's all lies. And this is the guy that Nigerians hope will fight corruption. There is a credibility issue here.

PMBfirstson:
Vote for APC next time....

Which APC? Come to Lagos where APC have been in charge for 16 years and see terrible roads. In Lagos we deal with ditches and not potholes. It's more about the individual governors than their parties.

otipoju:
Because the word Niger is a latin word meaning black or dark, I prefer to think that Nigeria was gotten from combining the words... Niger and Area therefore it means area of dark skinned people. That is what common sense tells me.

With that your postulations fall flat on its face. We seem to forget that at a time , things were fine in Nigeria until greedy and selfish politicians and government officials like Fani Kayodes father began to loot and pillage the nations resources.

Are you sure that things were fine at any time in Nigeria?

Demmocrats:
For those of you who cease to understand things.



Simple analysis check the road network systems of the three main tribes in Nigeria then you will understand why I said that tribe are honest people.



Am not Hausa or Muslim but those guys are honest people don't judge them because of few bad eggs that are extremist.

An interesting angle there.

And I believe Thailand has death sentence for convicted drug dealers. These Nigerian desperados will never learn. I have zero sympathy for them.

Trailblazer1:
Ngozi Okonjo Iweala deserves to be celebrated for keeping us afloat all these years. she is indeed a rare gem

regardless of her haters from some bigoted sect. she is our hero

You can say that again. Buhari should continue with the effort to curb corruption. But it should not be turned into witch-hunt as it is looking like for now.
He needs to assemble a capable economic team to rescue the country from the impending economic disaster.

olaric:
Why is it so difficult for us to be honest? Who would have arrested or condemn PMB if he had told us he had shares in Panalpina? This sums up the fate of the black man. He who has no sin should cast the first stone; yet PMB and APC have cast more than one stone on PDP and other parties.

I wonder too why the man is so evasive about his wealth. My northern friends made me believe the man is poor. I actually believed he didn't own any property in Abuja.
I hope our investigative journalists do a thorough job of finding and exposing his assets, including the ones that might be hidden under his wife's and children's names. The man might actually be a dollar multimillionaire or billionaire.
Nothing wrong in him being rich but he was really deceptive.

Ahmadgani:
Even in America there are bad roads. We will get better someday

Where in America? Could you please post pictures?

It is really going to be a very long 4 year term with this nepotistic govt of Buhari.
Where are those funny ones defending Buhari's sectional appointments on the
ground that they are based on competence/merit. Does this Daura character seem like
one that is competent enough to head the DSS?
Government of lies and propaganda.

The Syrian envoy is right. It's well known that Turkey has been aiding ISIS in their bid to help remove Assad from power.
This will eventually boomerang on them when the terrorist group turns on Turkey.

princejayboss:
It's been awhile I last said a thing at Nairaland because I felt alot of people here don't think with their head.... Am no member of any dam political party but one thing is sure .... No one of the parties can use my head.


How the entire nation like Nigeria allow group of people to use us if we have not seen a classroom before ....

So to your rightful since ... They found such things on their operations and they left it and went back.... The earlier we understand the political game play that APC is on to the better for us as a nation.....

This political quackmire going on at the south south and south east of the country purposely caused by the presidency.... When the resultant effect will become a Newton 3rd law of motion..... We all as a country will witness our down fall....

We shout CHANGE but I often tell people.... CHANGE don't necessarily means good things it can be otherwise.


Let us don't let illiterates and old fools use media lie tools to control our sense of understanding and brotherhood

Don't mind the fools. The way Buhari is going, America's prediction about Nigeria may come to pass.

baby124:
Why didn't they take the dollars? Let him come and prove how he earned the money. Nonsense. He is not better than a new born baby Nigerian. Everyone should be equal in the eyes of the law. It's obviously impossible for Akpabio to defend the money, so seize the money

And you really believe they didn't take the dollars? Of course they must have pocketed a substantial part of the money.

The chief tribalist and extremist is doing his best to turn this country upside-down. Buhari should realize that Nigeria is not his private property. He should focus on ending the Boko Haram insurgency and stop trying to stir up crisis in the south-south and south east states.

xertyy:
I don't even understand some of them! They will leave the issue at hg all saint and Nice! Hypocrites everywhere! Who hvnt invade someone privacy before or checked ones messages one way or the other! The major issue is that this girl is a cheat,pretender,liar etc! Let's hit on that but instead they are busy judging me on why I checked her chats! Smh! Nigerians tho!

It's because most of them are cheats too I guess.

kehinde1588:
.cry cry cry wailers,its unfortunate Buhari will be your president till next 4 years.wailers will always wail

Mr. just answer the questions they are raising if you can. We should all keep our eyes open and not allow ourselves be deceived by anybody.
