Eponyeeboz:
Please provide the suit number for Fayose's suit. Others are stated there, provide his.

Yankee101:
This is how much attention you're gonna get from me.

Eponyeeboz:
Then go to the higher court and stop hypothesising on a matter already decided on.

PassingShot:
A very bold and decisive move by the Anti Corruption Champion of Africa himself.

This is the more reason the so-called ex-Generals and looters of public funds are ganging up against this man. Sadly, they have victims of their looting taking side with them. The good thing is, the man they’re dealing with is more determined to succeed than them and he has those of us who are patriotic Nigerians by his side.

On 2109, not only that PMB will win, he will win BIG.

If anyone here doubts it, I’m ready to put down N100k against his/her N50k, we give to Seun for safe keeping. After the election, my win will go to needy members of this forum. If you’re game, quote me and let’s do it.






Money spent on your education is a total waste. If you don’t know, better ask questions.

You get N50k to win N100k?

NothingDoMe:
Deal. Mynd44 is our witness. You said 2109. Please don't change it. Let me know where to send the money. Thank you.

Almaiga:
You are just criticizing blindly. Two ex Governors are currently cooling their hills in the Prison. Ex Governors Joshua Dariye and Joly Nyame as well as other high profile Politicians, are in various prisons across the Country.

As for Babachir and Adeosun, the EFCC is still gathering evidence, so they can present a water tight case against them.

Paentera:
Now that the case don done, you no gree...you dey fight am.

Almaiga:
This is a Welcome development. No wonder all Nigerian Corrupt politicians are supporting Atiku, they knew that Buhari will stop at nothing untill they are all prosecuted.

God bless my beloved President.

DATED THIS …4th.. DAY OF …July…. 2018

Muhammadu Buhari

PRESIDENT

FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

lagosrd:
Do you out know the difference between folding up and privatisation?

The yet to be inaugurated and collapsed air Nigerians scam is still fresh and your pay masters didn't say a dime qt the cost of designing a logo and eventual total cancellation.

He never out up executive orders in dollar racketeering in CBN, not only on subsidy scam in NNPC and a host of illegal contract awarded in Nnpc by Una ogas dem.

greenprince:
I am not critiquing blindly. I know full well of Nyame. However, considering the level of propaganda and noise made by this government prior to coming into power, I expected even Tinubu to be in jail.

However what do you now have, selective corruption cases tagged witch hunt and even made fun of by the media. The almighty no nonsense presidency had to be reminded to reprimand one of its own. I'm sure it wil take dear EFCC eternity to gather evidence that is as visible as the biblical mene mene tekel upharsin.

Next please, this govt and the one before it is a joke. Your conscience should tell you which is the bigger joke.

budaatum:
Not really, "set aside", as court already decided it's legal. Can be challenged if applied illegally though.

crimeboss:
It's serious achievement when companies fold up under an incompetent, clueless, lying president who his behind righteous intentions only to come back to kill those that voted for him to acquire their lands for his fulani tribesmen, isn't that nice?.

ekwerendi:
pls where are companies that have sprung forth because of Buhari....Atleast 1

GodblessNig247:
Where is Adeosun? Stop deceiving yourself. The war against corruption is for perceived enemies of the government. That's all.

post=72057619:
FOR 2019 Let us compare some issues:
1. Power: This and other infrastructural developments are needed to boost business. This government has generated more power now than in previous government. Before now, they sold/privatizated power, looted the money for power, they became shareholders in companies that imported generators & turned us to up "NEPA"
Atiku has the biggest company in Nigeria that import generators to the country by the way, (making billions of dollars that way every year by selling to all the big companies and individuals in Nigeria) how will that kind of person will ever want the country to have constant electricity?!
We witnessed that for many years prior now!
And he has been in government for more than a decade with nothing to show for only that aspect of the economy (Power).

2. Economy: according to reports, only about 12% of d masses transact in foreign currencies. Most users need it for luxury i.e shoes, furniture, wears and for foreign product's which can be locally made , that is finished agricultural goods, rice, etc.
There is what we call trade deficits. Nigeria has always been more of an importing country than exporting save for crude oil. This inability to balance trade over time has been affecting the exchange rate. Buhari is doing what Trump is doing to America, shut down the borders to foreign goods that can be grown locally, engage in indigenous production. In a spate of 10 years of such consistency with participation of corporate coys, state government like Ebonyi, Nasarawa, Jigawa have done with rice,the youth participation then, jobs & food would be available.Today Exportation has increased, importation is reducing and the naira would be strengthened against foreign currencies over time.
What we've witnessed in the past has been government opening its ports to foreign goods, turning the country to a dumping ground, fraudulent duty waivers to cronies, thus discouraging indigenous production making the country lazy.
Let us begin with your TSA argument.
Our lazy banks made easy monies holding fraudulent funds for Federal MDAs. PMB shut down those accounts to enable the banks carry out real banking of lending to real sector, agro sector, marine & oil and gas.
This has saved the government millions of naira of bank charges.
Again, it is obvious the trouble makers have diverted their sponsorship of crime to politicking for now, little wonder the sudden reduced killings.
Was Bush America weak when September 11 happened? These are temporary setbacks that our securities are tirelessly working on.
Please kindly tell us if we've not made gains in agriculture than ever before.
Please also tell us if we've not generated power than ever before.
We say no to those who took us into recession by plundering and raping the country blindly.
Now they are gathering again to destroy the little gains we have made.
There is no quick fix.
Why are we so forgetful, We are our own problem.
No pain no gain. G.M
We are not here to capmpaign , everyone has a right to vote for their candidate.
Posterity will judge us all and your children will definitely ask you questions in the nearest future.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Your personal hate on Buhari has clouded your judgement against him. In your previous post, you said Buhari couldn't secure a single conviction against any Corrupt politician. I drew your attention to the conviction of two ex Governors which is one amongst thousands of high profile convictions the EFCC have secured under Buhari. Billions of Dollars have been recovered so far.

Your claims about Tinubu, you can write a petition with evidence that Tinubu is Corrupt (you must state with facts and evidence that Tinubu is Corrupt), lodge it in the nearest EFCC office close to you. I guarantee you that, Magu and his team will swing to action.

The reason Tinubu is walking as a free man is that, nobody or group has written any petition against him. The EFCC has not found any evidence that points that Tinubu is Corrupt. If you have one, you might join the list of those that became Millionaires overnight through WHISTLE BLOWING.

Almaiga:
Trash.
All you wrote above is the usual hate and Propaganda aimed at tarnishing the good image of our beloved President.
Nigerian's are wiser now.

crimeboss:
No, it's trash u manufactured as always.

Almaiga:
Go meet your new found Criminal leader, Atiku. Your mate no dey here.

crimeboss:
But buhari is the commander in chief crimes most especially murders.

Almaiga:
Trash.

Mayangel:
you are either a pathological liar or you are just plain Ignorant. BVN helped eliminate ghost workers not ADEOSUN. BVN and TSA are projects initiated by GEJ and His Vastly intelligent cabinet.
You talk about PMB fighting corruption, tell me one innovation that the has initiated to fight corruption except talking about it??
People don’t steal abroad because the system makes it difficult for them to. How has Buhari in His 4 years developed any innovative system to fight corruption?
