O Fire
Fire on the mountain
And nobody seems to be on the run

One day the river will overflow
And there'd be nowhere else to go
And 'he' will run
Run
Wishing he had put out the fire

Bros I fear your calculation oh.. chai

Dominante:
You are just well informed at all. Because we are not in the same footing as the US, we should on that basis loose our self respect as a country? The ramification of being weak on the international affect not just kashamu or whatever it is he is called, it affect each an everyone of us. I know countries in Europe, countries such as Denmark, Norway, Finland that stood firmly for their dignity in the face of adversity.

No one is comparing Nigeria to the US in any way, the difference is very glaring, but we are a sovereign state and it is on that footing we should relate with any country on sensitive matters such as this one. Again there is no international credibility to be accrued, US dictates who has or does not have credibility, except you are readily accepting that you are a second class rated human to another American does your statement hold any water.

. the moment the drug muller went to contest for a sensitive and respected position and won, the dynamics changed., he has brought real shame and stamped it with authority on me, you and all Nigerians, left for me, if he was just an ordinary citizen, I would have viewed him as a fugitive rat that should be protected within Nigeria, and left to die in peace in Nigeria, but these drug baron is insatiable and not sober, he gunned for an exalted positions in a supposed banana republic. he should be reined in now before, he starts contesting as governor and possibly presidential candidate of federal republic Nigeria, he should be made to answer his charges joor.

See people GEJ dey roll with, , , , smh. No wonder he lost d election

Please who knows when Alameseigha is gonna be extradited to the UK? We need some politi-crook to replace James Ibori in UK prison once his term expires.

Buruji Kashamu cannot win this battle. Let's wait and see.

Naija lawyers be lyk we must chop our money b4 US finish buruji money.

Abeg this man call Buruji Kashamu is Our citizen;so therefore let U.S go to hell. Life it's self is a business. Obj self is worst than this man;and more over drug kingpin can never stop on this earth. Drugs are not 4 poor people; so stop having wrong sentiment to this man issue.can Nigerian force arrest American citizen in U.S;the answer is capital NO:you have to stop thinking like a slave ,Since he has redmeed his integrity,so therefore old things as past away behold I will do a new thing; God bless Nigeria.

You are a sorry joke.

You think that this forum is populated with ignorant louts like you. Rubbish!

Jonathan's ability to tolerate the Brujis, the alams, the iboris, allysons among others is fearful.

Na Igbo man?

clubone0501:
Chilling...for me..a career politician with this hanging over his head is totally useless and a paper weight. ...

if he has any integrity. .he should hire top lawyers and squash this case immediately


if not the good people of ogun state should recall him or buhari should extradite him..

So we can hear word abi bawo?

beeni oo

All you guys here are just saying he should be exc to d US.has anyone thought dis tru if revise is the case.i.e Nigeria demanding for a US citizen dt dy believe hav comited crimes of dis magnitude US will let go easily without dm doing Dr own investigation and acentin d gravity of d situation.it just unfortunate at dis 21 century our international policies are no were to be found.Nigeria is jst lik a farmland to d western world nd it unfortunate dt our leaders as failed to recognise it.jst hope dis government is a wise one

jomoh:
You're right.

Also on the other hand if he were to be an igbo man, instead of being condemned like the people from ogun state has been condemning him, what his kinsmen like you will have been writing is, "they are conspiring against the igbos".

Is that not?

Nepotism is worst............#SayNoToNepotism

U are also right bro but it depends on the angle u re coming from. Definitely, rumours about his drug connections were known b4 d elections.so it can also be argued that d ppl of Ogun defended him with their votes.now u see my point.or do u think d no of nairalanders(from Ogun state) commenting are more than those who voted 4 him.a definite no.truth is we all should curtail tribalism as almost every Nigerian has can element of it.tanx

lurther:
If buruji Kashamu was an igbo man, what people would have been writing on this thread is 'igbos are druglords'. In this article, it was very explicit and detailed that Buruji Kashamu a man from ogun state is a drug lord wanted in the united states of america.

Tribalism is bad.........#SayNoToTribalism.

I can assure you that many of the comments that had condemned his act are from his kins. Yorubas don't harbor evil.

They don't harbour evil, but he won in an election recently.
Heehehhehe! Tell something.
It won't be long before they asks for Toonubu's extradition

Most of the people that voted for him are majorly illiterate that has no access to the internet to know the kind of crime he is supposed to face. Same cannot be said of people (even on NL here)that see the truth and still go ahead to make excuse for such by claiming a conspiracy against their people.

I understand your view of trying to plead to people to shun Tribalism. I will also like a Nigeria free from tribalism but we can't achieve that if we don't eliminate favouritism towards people of our own tribe(Nepotism).

By favouring your people above other tribe even when your people has not done well will eventually lead to tribalism because in the end the person will eventually alienate himself and his tribe from other tribes.

OBJ may be a scumbag but he is one of the most detribalised Nigerian leaders ever. Even if his own daughter is caught in a wrong act he won't protect her.

#SayNoToNepotism and #Tribalism will be greatly reduced.

If na to say he don go prison in that 1994, shebi he for don finish by now

Nice post again. But to add to this, Nepotism isn't a tribal thing but it cuts across all spheres of life n all tribes.even in local govts(all Nigerian tribes) u see an instance where d chairman exhibits favouritism to ppl from his town/village. So its a general problem.
Again u said most of the ppl who voted him in were illiterates(possibly true as I can tell).Why then don't u think d Igbo's who would be defending such things are not right thinking .(hope u get my point here) .its wrong to generalise using comments of 10-20 persons in a race with millions of ppl. We all should shun stereotyping n tribalism.#real naija prblm

Thanks for this. It seems we're on the same page but me I'm seeing things from the root cause of the problem. Tribalism started from favouritism/Nepotism and once you start favouring your own people against others, they(others) start to see you and your people differently. Acceptably every tribe is guilty of Nepotism and eventually tribalism but the reason why most people view the SE&SS people as the most tribal is the fact that they don't hide theirs and always go to extreme to justify it. Example is the issue of Ijaw people calling for the presidential pardon on Ibori while still serving his sentence.

Generalising cannot be written off in human existence as long as those 10-20 people still speak out based on their tribe.

I monitored the elections in 9 Local Governments of Ogun East. Viz: Ikenne, Remo North, Odogbolu, Ijebu Ode, Ijebu North East, Ijebu North, Ijebu East, Sagamu and Ogun Waterside. The APC won highest Legal Votes cast in the Ogun East Senatorial Elections. Buruji Kashamu did not win. The APC Candidate has gone to tribunals to Challenge this purported victory. Many youths in Ogun East are already protesting that they did not vote for Kashamu Buruji. He was only a beneficiary of the Plot to return Jonathan to Power at all cost as the Mobilisation and Planning coordinator of GEJ in the southwest.

And his people elected him to represent them abi?

akinzeb:
The government of the United States of America has begun fresh moves to extradite Senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu to face drug trafficking charges, which he has been evading for several years now.

This was revealed by his lawyer, Mr. Ajibola Oluyede, in a petition to the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC.
In the petition, Oluyede also accused former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, of being behind the plot to extradite Kashamu.

According to Oluyede, “Kashamu’s enquiry revealed that indeed there had been moves by US officials within the region to secure the assistance of the head of the INTERPOL division in Nigeria, Mr. Solomon Arase, a Deputy Inspector General of Police, for the arrest and delivery to the US officials of Kashamu for transportation to the US without following the due process required by the Nigeria Extradition Act.
“Mr. Kashamu’s informant revealed that Arase has confirmed that Donna Chabot approached him in January 2015. The said Ms Chabot is an attaché with the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the American Embassy route Des Almedies BP, 49, Dakar, Senegal and requested that INTERPOL Nigeria assist in the abduction of Kashamu for the purpose of his forcible transportation to the U.S. to face trial before Judge Norgel.”

According to Saharareporters, the name of the self-acclaimed philanthropist and a stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, came up in a Court ruling dated September 25, 2009 by Judge Charles R. Norgle of the United States District Court in Chicago, Illinois in which the Judge upheld Kashamu’s indictment by the U.S government on drug trafficking charges and conspiracy to smuggle heroin into the country. Kashamu was described by the U.S government as the kingpin of the drug cartel.

In his response, Kashamu published several rebuttals in the newspapers and alleged that he was not the one being sought after by the United States Government, but that the alleged crime was committed by one of his brothers who is now dead. Kashamu, in his defence, also claims that he had been cleared by a British Court and produced what purports to be the decision of a Magistrates’ Court in England. Kashamu also referred to his issuance of German visa sequel to his clearance by international security agencies as a further proof that he is not a fugitive and that the U.S. may have been looking for a wrong person.

However, the matter is far from over as the United States government insists that the man the U.S government is looking for is no other person than Buruji Kashamu, not his brother and that the government of the U.S. still regards Buruji Kashamu as a drug kingpin and a fugitive from the United States law. The U.S. further states that it has never withdrawn its warrant of arrest against Kashamu, maintaining further that the charges against Kashamu remain pending and will request for his extradition from Nigeria in due course.

The United States Government has also accused Buruji Kashamu of using fraudulent means to obtain a German Visa in 2009. The U.S government notes in its brief that Kashamu communicated with German officials using the name “Buruji Kashamu Shodipe” instead of Buruji Kashamu. According to the U.S. government, Kashamu was indicted in the United States under the name “Buruji Kashamu” and the warrant of arrest against him was issued in that same name. It is the position of the U.S. that any confusion by German officials that led to the issuance of a Schengen visa to Kashamu may have been caused by Kashamu’s use of the surname “Shodipe” in his application and communications with the German consulate.

Saharareporters investigation has revealed that there is indeed, a pending criminal action against Mr. Buruji before the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois involving fifteen people. The Case 1:94-cr-00172 is before Hon. Judge Charles R. Norgle. While Kashamu’s other coconspirators had been jailed, Kashamu’s case is being held under the fugitive Calendar.

In February, 2009, Kashamu hired a team of lawyers to appear for him in the case for the purpose of filing a Motion requesting the Court to quash the arrest warrant which his lawyers led by Pravin B. Rao did.

In the Motion to quash the arrest warrant, Mr. Pravin Rao made copious reference to the United Kingdom’s extradition proceedings in which Kashamu was freed after spending five years in British jail. His lawyers also pleaded res judicata and argued that the U.K. decisions are final and should therefore, be binding on the U.S.

In its response, the United States government disagreed with Kashamu on all four grounds and argued that Kashamu’s Motion to quash arrest warrant should be denied by the Court. On September, 25, 2009, the District Court Judge upheld the U.S. position and denied Kashamu’s Motion to quash his arrest warrant. The judge also declared Buruji Kashamu a fugitive.

However, Kahamu’s lawyers filed another Motion praying the Court to reconsider its decision of September 25, 2009.

Trouble started for Kashamu when in March 1994, defendant Kary Hayes, a passenger arriving at O’Hare International Airport (“O’Hare”) on a flight from Zurich, Switzerland, was arrested after he tried to smuggle into the United States a suitcase containing approximately 14.16 pounds of heroin. Hayes was one of a long line of couriers in a heroin smuggling operation allegedly led by Kashamu. The government charged Hayes and other couriers after this initial arrest. Many of these couriers cooperated and provided information about their contacts with Kashamu.

On May 21, 1998, a grand jury charged Kashamu and others in a Second Superseding Indictment with conspiracy to import heroin into the United States in violation of Title 21, United States Code, Section 963. Between July 7, 1998 and January 27, 1999, nine of the fourteen defendants named in the Second Superseding Indictment pleaded guilty. These nine defendants admitted their participation in the heroin smuggling organization and all acknowledged that Kashamu, the man they called “Alaji” or “God,” was the person ultimately in charge of the heroin smuggling organization. Some of these couriers, including defendants Catherine Cleary Wolters and Nicholas Fillmore, Jr., had visited with Kashamu at his residence in Benin in connection with the heroin smuggling organization.

One of the couriers, defendant Ellen Wolters, had a romantic relationship with Kashamu. The smuggling trips and trips to visit Kashamu in Benin were documented by, among other things, money transfer orders from Western Union and American Express, flight records, credit card charges, hotel records, and telephone call detail records. The telephone records, for example, reflected calls from the couriers to Kashamu’s residence in Benin.

Kashamu was ordered detained following his December 1998 arrest and he was incarcerated in London’s Brixton Prison during the pendency of extradition proceedings based on the government’s warrant in the instant case.

THIS OBJ SHOULD SIMPLY JUST DIE

Mbanu, he is still useful to expose some idi..ot. Though his own case will soon surface

dokyOloye:
don't abuse when U don't have all d facts wt U.
All over d world,legislators,ambassadors,high ranking embassy staff and few other high ranking govt officials carry a diff type of passport called diplomatic passport which offers them some higher level of respect than ordinary passport holders.
If U can remember,there was a time foreign affairs ministry was complaining that Bankole and some other ppl refused to return theirs.

Lord have mercy! What an arrogant display of ignorance.
Pls dont come and pollute this forum with false.information and spare us the agony of equating travelling passport with immunity.

A diplomatic passport merely enables the holder to travel without visas but does not confer immunity on the holder from civil or criminal proceedings.

Just because our law enforcement agencies discriminate between the rich and poor should not be misconstrued as immunity.

Shikena!
