Only one thing this administration know how to do is to blame the past government for their inability and failure the second one is to label the past administration as a fraud when we all know that most of the present administrations officers are from the same corrupted past administration. May God punish this government for inflicting hardship upon masses.
Ur stuuuupidty is out of this world. Even though this present administration is far from perfect, the past wreck this country to ground level and they all should be held accountable including Goodluck.

From June to December 2015, i would have been happy about this news with the hope that something tangible will come out of it. But after seeing the anti corruption fight is just a charade, i just have to say that they should stop disturbing us with this stupid news. Useless politicians.

Ok, they blame the past govt for squandering cash right? but did yu ever give it a second thought? jst 1 person buying a helicopter that its worth feeding the whole country when allocated? and yet you all talk abt buhari isnt workings. do you expect him to embezzle money in the name of work;
.

Google about Halliburton scandal before spewing trash... Ignorance isn't an excuse... Jonathan has NOTHING to do with Halliburton scandal except some names ex military head of states, Aisha Buhari and co...

Same ole story. If they truly blew the money on xyz, what is stopping the government from prosecuting and charging them to court?

Instead of APC to face its current task, which is massive by the way, they are still living in the past. If they indeed know the guilty parties, what is STOPPING them from taking action. What are we supposed to do with nairaland posts without any actions. Mschew.

Avoid ke!! Are you kidding me?? They'd swarm the thread and start screaming any of the following like robots:

1. Lagos-Ibadan expressway journalism.

2. APC government and lies.

3. Failed government trying to distract Nigerians from the state of the economy.

4. Who takes TheNation newspaper seriously?

5. When will Aishaliburton be probed?

6. EFCC is a disgrace.

7. And the blame game continues.

8. Jonathan is no longer the president- leave him alone!

9. The most useless of them with nothing upstairs would simply come in and scream "Buhari is a ddullard!!"

These would be their defence over the damning report, which isn't the first and neither would it be the last, of the last administration. There was so much money Jonathan was simply living the life only the Sheikhs in UAE can dream of. This and many more were how the monies were blown, reason why we couldn't shore up our forex reserves in an era when the country witnessed such unprecedented inflow of revenue.

So damn unfortunate having that man not fit to be a Local Government Chairman, become the president of an intricate establishment such as Nigeria. Pity.
See dead brains talking. EFCC has been a disgrace till now. It's only people like you who do not have common sense, believed all Buhari's promises and voted him that will believe this forged story by EFCC. I guess you were still in JSS when this scandal happened.

You are suggesting the Haliburton case that was "successfully" concluded and fines paid be reopened? Though it's pathetic that Nigeria got cheated either ways: first by the companies and again by the court that awarded the fines. Imagine USA making $Billions on our head, and we are not even supposed to ask how "our" $200m was spent

So in your mind it would be easier to reinvestigate the case than investigate what happened to the fines that was paid?
It is either you are grossly biased or you are pretending to be ignorant. USA comprehensively investigated the Halliburton scandal and some prominent Nigerians who are presently in APC were indicted. Fines were also imposed on the companies involved and some foreign officials were jailed. Nigeria was expected to follow up and prosecute the prominent Nigerians involved and also make the foreign companies involved paid penalty. Sadly these prominent Nigerians are still walking freely and PMB is afraid to prosecute them. We are even fortunate that USA agreed to pay us $200M out of the fines. We are indeed fantastically corrupt. My problem is the Nigerian youths and some Zombies who are so blinded by ethnicity and party to see how the so call 'Saints' are looting this country and pretending to fight corruption..

When the Haliburton case was prosecuted was there any entity called APC?

Thanks for confirming the ineptitude of the previous administration in this regard.

The investigation is still on going and I am suprised that EFCC is already leaking it to the press in the haste for public judgment, no wonder their success rate in prosecuting the looters is low.
In my opinion, its too early for this sensational story.

They will also examine why Nigeria, the main victim of the $180million Halliburton scam, got only $200million fines.
“The U.S. government was paid about $1.5billion fines by Halliburton, apart from the jailing of the facilitator of the bribe, a UK lawyer, Mr. Jeffery Tesler.
Re: $200m Halliburton Cash ‘blown On Presidential Helicopter’ by TheGoodJoe(m): 1:21pm On Aug 31, 2016
”We also discovered that a former Minister of Finance ordered the release of the fines to ONSA for ‘strange’ security purposes, including the customised helicopter.

The unnamed ex-Minister is to be questioned on the withdrawal of the $200m fines, how it was drawn, whether once or in tranches and the breakdown of what it was used for.
“We will also demand records from ONSA if the cash was actually remitted and the actual cost of the security helicopter,” the source said.

Detectives probing the whereabouts of the $200m (N81.4billion) fines paid by five companies involved in the $180million Halliburton bribery scam have made a major discovery.

This is about the fines paid, not the scandal.

Continue saying to hell to investigations but people will be first to blame President Buhari for the economic problems.

This is not about the scandal but the fines.

The question is that, was the money appropriated before spending? I doubt.

1)Why jump issues? We have Halliburton fund sitting in US with only condition being prosecution of offenders and the fund would be repatriated...So since you all are anti-corruption, why not get buhari to face the case and get such huge money back to Treasury?

2)Why concentrate on fines and insult Jonathan for taking a executive decision... Whatever decision taken by a president in war time to protect the country cannot be questioned and won in any court...? Why the wild goose chase of deceit?

3)How come FG is advocating for secret trial for a corruption case when they are sure of corrupt activities? cheesygrin Buhari and co have NO CASE hence they wanna hide in cover of dark, intimidate enemies and take their pound of flesh from them for issues far from corruption...

4)How come all his associates and cabinets have outstanding corruption cases which is being swept underground and these useless media outfits won't see them to report?

5)In which sector has corruption reduced drastically since buhari took over as Jonathan did without much noise in agriculture and civil service ? Which sector has buhari reduced corruption? cheesycheesy

6)No outstanding expenses under Jonathan...they are all covered either in main or supplementary budget...I challenge you to prove otherwise...

The zombies diet and feeding schedules are very predictable.

The 'Nation' paper is the zombie propaganda chef, serving hastily packaged doses of hot gases to stomach-hungry zombies every fortnight.

So you think we should forget the diversion of $200 million. Companies paid fines to Nigeria. We need to find out what happened to it.

What is wrong in tracing the money?

I'm curious-
Is buhari your god or your moses?
And if the latter, who's the former?
But if the latter, do you think he's in the same calibre as moses?
Your answers will be truly entertaining.

I think you people should understand something, this issue is more than blame game, it's about emancipation of Nigerian masses from the hands of our corrupt, heartless and selfish leaders that are perpetrating this evil act. This issue of Halliburton fraud needs to be thoroughly investigated by the present government that has the political will to fight against corruption and whoever that has connection with this case should be brought to justice rather than judgment. Let's leave partisan politics aside and join hands and voices to kill corruption in Nigeria before it kills us for posterity sake.
