Are you okay? Everything about Nigeria is tribal. It is the height of ignorance to insinuate otherwise. Buhari's election as president is tribally constructed yet you have impetus to tell us the call to criminalize Okonjo-Iweala on an officially documented transaction is not tribally motivated. When did Nigerians grow out of their tribal cocoons?

Reyginus:
It is not even the tribal card that disgusts. Tribalism is not an excuse for plain stupidity. My worry is on the fact that somebody is being criminalized based on what a newspaper says about him/her and not on the basis of the law court's verdict. And this person still talks about objectivism. Smh.

I hope you saw what i called "My stand" on the matter. FYI, because you are a tribal warrior who sees nothing wrong with public officers diverting 'the national cake' because they are from your tribe doesn't mean every other Nigerian have to do the same.

If the 'goat stealing the yams' is from my tribe, by all means prosecute him and bring his matter to the public court.

I'm sorry, I don't conform to your stereotype.

If buhari is going to go tru illegal means to recover stolen funds let him go ahead.

That's part of leadership.

President is supreme in Nigeria,those things you mentioned are just in the book,refuse to carry out presidential order at your own peril

Reyginus:
Please respond to my comment.

oluamid:
Oh! But you never bothered with objectivity when the newspapers were awashed with Buhari's certificate or when the chibok girls were abducted, or when Okonjo-Iweala released a press released stating that she gave billions from the Abacha loot to Dasuki, or when Dasuki's Lawyer said he needs to travel abroad for medical treatment? Did you? Of course not.

I repeat, any 'Goat' that has stolen our national 'yams' must be judged both in the law court and in the court of public opinion.

Appropriation means a law passed by the National Assembly and assented to by the President for the Federal Government budget.


NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION


E - Powers and Control over Public Funds



80. (1) All revenues or other moneys raised or received by the Federation (not being revenues or other moneys payable under this Constitution or any Act of the National Assembly into any other public fund of the Federation established for a specific purpose) shall be paid into and form one Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation.

(2) No moneys shall be withdrawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation except to meet expenditure that is charged upon the fund by this Constitution or where the issue of those moneys has been authorised by an Appropriation Act, Supplementary Appropriation Act or an Act passed in pursuance of section 81 of this Constitution.

(3) No moneys shall be withdrawn from any public fund of the Federation, other than the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation, unless the issue of those moneys has been authorised by an Act of the National Assembly.

(4) No moneys shall be withdrawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund or any other public fund of the Federation, except in the manner prescribed by the National Assembly.

In the First place that Money does not belong to the federal government but jointly to the Federal government ,the 36 states and all the LGAS

The President does not have the power to authorize the spending of ONE KOBO without the Nationl Assembly's consent
Secondly even if it belongs to the the FG it must be approved for expenditure by the NAtional Assembly after all late in 2014 the NA had an emergency session to approve a loan of billions of dollars for the military so why did they not do it with the Abacha money?

oluamid:
Which one? I have responded to every one of my quotes so far.

jaybee3:
Your education is questionable if you had to click on the article before being able to decipher that the article was penned solely to advise PMB.

Geez, their was a comma immediately after Buhari's name on the title. I guess you forgot the use of commas

I don't know the constitution you're quoting but this is under chapter 5 - The Legislature [ Authorisation of Expenditure in Default Appropriations]

82. If the Appropriation Bill in respect of any financial year has not been passed into law by the beginning of the financial year, the President may authorise the withdrawal of moneys in the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation for the purpose of meeting expenditure necessary to carry on the services of the Government of the Federation for a period not exceeding months or until the coming into operation of the Appropriate Act, whichever is the earlier:
Provided that the withdrawal in respect of any such period shall not exceed the amount authorised to be withdrawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation under the provisions of the Appropriation Act passed by the National Assembly for the corresponding period in the immediately preceding financial year, being an amount proportionate to the total amount so authorised for the immediately preceding financial year.

Nairaland and Nigeria is populated majorly by compound fools and idiots who calls themselves educated and enlightened.it is a colossal shame and disgrace that majority of those commenting on this thread will be calling themselves graduates or even students. Firstly it is clearly obvious that majority of commenters here didn't read the article which shows how degraded the average Nigerian youth brain has gone because there is no where in the article where it is written that. Buhari has ordered the arrest of okonjo or anyone rather the writer was advising buhari to do so.
I only wish that foreigners do visit this site and read the comments here because they will be shocked at how colossally stupid Nigerian youths are. To read and understand a passage of less than 50 lines has now become a big giant problem for Nigeria youth,no thanks to English premier league and nonsense music they listen to. Smh

Reyginus:
Lololololol. So it's now about Buharis certificate, Chibok girls and Abacha. Lol. I won't let you off easily. And 300million is now billions as released in the press statement?

Back to stage one. Tell me, should we respect the Judgement of the Court or the Judgement of the Press? My question still stands.

'Who pronounced them guilty as
charged? Or who agreed?'.

centje:
See them leaders of tomorrow, I pity this country.

My dear, you haven't countered my points, you just exhibited basic animalistic trait which you are meant to control in this era of civilization.

oluamid:
Both! While the court judgement represents the law, the judgement of the 'press' represents public opinion i.e Nigerians. I hope you know the law was made for Nigerians and not Nigerians for the law?

It is high time we started holding our thiefing politicians to their crimes in this country. Anyone with eyes can see that though we have laws, these laws are easily manipulated by politicians who can afford to rent SANs with part of their loot.

Having said that, anyone who has admitted to receiving money that was not part of the budget or not approved by the House of Assembly nor part of the security vote of the President is already guilty in my book. Okonjo-Iweala already said she gave Dasuki part of the Abacha loot. Dasuki already agreed to have collected part of the Abacha loot. On Friday, Nduka Obaigbena released a public statement that he received funds from Dasuki 'as reparation for boko haram attacks', same with Dokpesi who said he got money for airing of the PDP presidential campaign on his medium (AIT) - all from the ex-National Security Adviser. Is the office of the NSA the right place to move all these funds? Where did all the monies budgeted for buying weapons for the army fly to? Recall that then president, GEJ, had to even borrow a further $1billion to fund this army. And there was someone who had already received $2billion to buy same weapons.

If all these does not warrant condemnation I wonder what should.


Now, what is your question again?

bettercreature:
How much did you get from all these stolen funds? stop acting like illiterate,we youth are the one paying for these bullcraps,You are right to some point tho,PMB must not get involve

Reyginus:
Both? See stories begging the question. Lol. I'm done. I know we are expecting the thieves who destroyed the country to be brought to book but we should never allow this expectations to ruin our understanding of Justice. A more intelligent man will always wait for understanding before criticism.

Aboki must be using yoruba identity, becos i dont know see wen my people have become so bigoted and tribalist that they want every igbo persecuted.

Everytime they write press, if it is not Stella Oduah, IT is Alison Madueke, now Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and Emefiele. Nobody ask of Fashola or Tinubu?

oduastates:
Many lived their entire lives under dictatorship and would not recognise a lawful society if you threw it in their faces.
A President has no power to order money from the treasury apart from the money appropriated by the national assembly,and for which he has been granted discretionary powers . Even at that, the money must be spent on what it was appropriated.
Any other act is an act of corruption.
