just saw this thread now. I must say Barcanista did a good job here. Again, if we don't see his post from the APC perspective and be objective, we'd know he made very good points. To be able to clean up NNPC we really have to look at it from past. the objective should be patriotic. A lot of things have happened there. some persons worked for OBJ in NNPC in the 1970s... They were also brought back in 1999..... and there were fraud reports about these people. Even them Obaseki need to clear some things. The problem is that rather than us take a broad view of this issue, we are just foolishly looking for $20billion all with the aim of attacking GEJ because some of us hate him. Its annoying.

I just hope Buhari is not thinking the same way most folks on Nairaland think.

We need to look at the petroleum sector holistically, and not about attacking GEJ.

You are blabbing here just because you haven't read the report! Please download it, it is free.
No sane or well meaning Nigerian will be satisfied with the results! The report even shows that the missing money might be much more than the alleged $20B. Why do you think GEJ didn't release the report before the elections?
You have a brain, please use it.
I choose to respond to you because you mentioned "well meaning Nigerians"...Sincerely, if you understand the term you used, be assured that you would support barcanista on this article for a complete dig into NNPC...

To the extent of the existing controversy as raised by sanusi lamido sanusi of missing funds; I am satisfied.

But going forward especially given recent buhari subtle blackmail cum threat to Jonathan; for which Jonathan has responded to him positively. I support a complete probe of NNPC books not witch hunting of individuals or any selective prosecution...

Obj also gave himself and Bode Beorge clean bill of health. In fact, Buhari gave Abacha clean bill of health. We need thorough audit. No excuse...
I just get tired responding to most folks here because there mode of reasoning are quite ridiculous and appalling sincerely...Is it a problem of their age or that of brain deficiencyhuh

Anyway, why I wholeheartedly support this probe stuff is because most of the people these charlatans hope to see in jail or roped in corruption will be free eg Jonathan... while most of those who chant "change" and wave brooms like native doctors will be conspicuously exposed for whom they are...Quote me, most of these APC guys & consultants are complicit in this NNPC corruption saga...Buhari is only making noise, he won't dare open that book...

Somebody obviously will continue to cry us a river till 2019 and possibly beyond.

In the OP's warped logic and reasoning, it's either GMB probes all or none! In his wisdom, it's better to forget the missing $20billion if we cannot probe all past cases of corruptions. What a reasoning!

Anyway, the message I have for you OP is that GMB has the prerogative to choose who and what to probe. He may only be challenged by Nigerians on his failure to probe his immediate predecessor and not all those before him.

And if all past succeeding govts failed to probe their predecessor, that's their problem and not Buhari's.

Why are you guys wasting your times arguing with these dimwits online undecided Its not like whatever they say actually affects anything in this country.

If they don't like how Buhari chooses to fight corruption what the hell are they gonna do? Its not like they supported or voted for him anyway HELL they actually wanted the guy who was allowing all kinds of crap happening to remain in office.

What i find funny is how someone who wasted his time writing all sorts of crap against Buhari and supporting GEJ suddenly feels he can make demands on how he should go about doing what WE VOTED FOR HIM TO DO.

I thought you never had faith in Buhari ? I thought he was illiterate and certificateless or whatever AND i thought you said he will NEVER be President.
Among all things, pray and get wisdom tongue

Nice one Barcanista, You never fail to impress.
As for the probe of the missing funds, You couldn't have said it better, The rot in the system didn't start today, If Buhari is really serious about this, Let him start from the period when Gauis Obaseki was the GMD of NNPC. I'm sure my Jona has no skeleton in his cupboard, That was why he made the report public and also challenged the President-elect to carry out any probe he wants to.
how i wish i see you and slap you for telling me Jonathan has no skeleton in his cupboard............Dont say that again, its absurd.

Just imagine them. They tried to trick us into voting a government that worships corruption and they ain't ashamed.

Just imagine what would have happened of GEJ had won....this wanton stealing the NNPC would have gone on for 8 years.

The same government they told us to vote back. How evil can you people be?
Sincerely, when I read your post accusing Jonathan administration of wanton corruption & evil...And at same time, see you glory in the extension of Tinubu dynasty in Lagos down to other APC SW states, I imagine how hypocritical and insincere one can get without qualms of conscience...You need to do some sober reflection bro...Because it is not about good governance to you with such double standard but some innate hatred for people & their progress...

Buhari is not yet the president bro and he has not done anything yet. He is only saying what he might do or not do. Make una all go kulu-kulu temper till he is sworn in and starts taking actions.

I have no problem probing from 1900, but the current thieves caught should refund what they stole or go to jail. Period.

Or you want make we wait till older thieves are caught before dealing with the current ones?
No, we will wait till the dead ones are tried and jailed first b4 we can even consider the older ones. All na delay tactics. cheesy

Tinubu been been tried by the courts under the PDP led governments how many times and freed?

If you bring proof that he stole and prosecute him, anyone who shouts should be locked up with him.

Did any court convict any of themhuh...You see the hypocrisy, hatred, and bigotry that I have been accusing you of...

You need proof even with all the daylight looting going on in Lagos at which Odumakin said he owes Akala an apology having seen the mother of looting in Lagos...All Tinubu estates here including TVC headquarters, Lekki toll wahala, Tinubu tax collection company even with idle civil servants employed for same purpose, etc

You really need a sober reflection bro...NO JOKES HERE...

Bros, Buhari should "fight corruption" completely. He isn't the President yet but he was di§turbing our peace with threat of probe.
Only those with guilty conscience will feel their peace is being disturbed because an incoming president is telling those who elected him what he is thinking of doing.

How is telling us he will take a second look at SLS's allegation of unremitted fund a disturbance of peace?

smiley Let's not pretend we don't know what this is all about...
Pls stick to the romance section. You know nothing of politics except emotional sentiments. So the fact that buhari decided to probe the $20billion under GEJs regime means he is witchhunting him and his followers?

Are u trying to tell me that money is too small to probe and we should just forget abt it? A whole CBN governor exposed this massive fraud, lost his job cos of it in a suspicious manner and we should just sweep under the rug as one of those things.

Hear yourself pls, unless you or your family members are part of the beneficiaries, what you're saying is so damn senseless.

Excuse me...are you also saying all that happened under GEJ are just petty stealing and stealing is not corruption?

You mean you are still looking for the proof of Subsidy scam, Pension scam, Purchase of armored car scam, Immigration job scam, NNPC unremitted fund, spending of almost $9B on subsidy by NNPC that has no budget approval, all that took place under GEJ administration...

barcanista:
Oga, Buhari cannot just single out Jonathan's administration and go to bed. It doesn't work that way and it won't. He also has a case of missing money on his neck as Petroleum Minister. Did he institute any audit? Is he blind to see the allegation against IBB, Abachas, Obasanjo, Sanusi etc? Was he blind when looting was going on under Abacha when he was PTF Chairman? Buhari should do what is right by looking into EVERY allegation. Whether it takes him 4years or 4 decades I don't care.
@Bolded
For this particular line in your comment, you're a very useless hypocrite. I thought you Barcanista told us that "Buhari is clean" and Obasanjo gave him a clean bill absolving him of all those allegations after he (Obasanjo) studied the report from the audit carried on Buhari's PTF Administration?? Were you high on spoilt beans then?? You're just a totally messed up personality. It's a big shame.

I actually gave it a like.
It made sense to me, even though it's something I cannot carry out personally based on my convictions and ideals.
I just think we can do better with the name callings and mockeries (direct and indirect)....honoris causa tins.

That said,
Let everyone stick to their true calling. If everyone is peaceable and agreeable like me, then Politics of Opposition is dead.
Even the incoming government wouldn't want that.

The campaign speeches/promises he made and anything he has said till now and beyond have become presidential pronouncements since he was declared winner of the March 28 elections.
I hope that is something simple enough for you to understand.

Buhari is at liberty to do what he wants or not do anything sef.
That is his choice.

We will assess the choices he made and make OUR own choice at the ballot box in due course or get our senators and representatives to make that choice on our behalf if he slides too far before the next election due date.
I also hope that is something simple enough for you to understand in our 16 year old democracy that was fought for by valiant heroes of our dear country against Buhari's "saint" Abacha!

Muhammadu Buhari Is Our Candidate- Nairaland Progressive by barcanista(m): 7:44pm On Nov 16, 2014
Members of the Progressive Caucus on Nairaland unanimously endorsed General Muhammadu Buhari as their sole candidate for the 2015 Presidential Election. The caucus made the endorsement on Saturday, 15 November and Sunday, 16 November 2014.

General Muhamadu Buhari, a Presidential aspirant on the platform of All Progressive Congress is favoured to win his party's December 10 Primaries and go on to defeat the incumbent President Jonathan of the People's Democratic Party in the February 14th Presidential poll.

He was a former Military Chief that has served Nigeria in various capacity including Military Governor of defunct North West, Petroleum Minister, Chairman NNPC, Military Head of State for 20 months and Executive Chairman of defunct PTF. As a public servant, he distinguished himself as an incorruptible administrator, a gentleman of repute, a disciplined officer and a patriotic statesman.

The endorsement also serve as a message to the APC leadership, conveying acceptance of Buhari by the Progressives and informing the party that the Daura born General is the best man for the job, and the right man to dislodge President Jonathan and the PDP from Aso Rock in 2015.

And yes, I am looking for proof backed with convictions/judgements by courts of competent jurisdiction cool

If you can't see any corruption in Tinubu, Fashola, Aregbesola, Saraki, Amechi, Kwankwaso, Magoro, Bagudu, and many other APC stalwarts that chant change; whose antecedents Jonathan is far better than then be sure, that nothing is wrong with Jonathan administration...

Quote me, all the problems of Nigeria in years past has congregated in APC chanting change...So I expect no miracle or change from buhari presidency...They're core digital looters with sycophants singing their praises and being blind to their corrupt activities...
