This is at best "the agony of defeat", GEJ should go and sit down, he is talking because of the soft land negotiated for him by Gen Abdusalam Abubakar led peace committee else he should be in court answering questions about his corrupt and inept adminstration

he wasn't standing either you. Should be the onE going to bed cos is see you never understood the point he was driving at. GEJ never solicited for abdulsalam's intervention not to talk. About negotiation to exempt him from any court injunctions. Since they can't nail GEJ U go and catch him.

sammyj:
What I see here is that GEJ election lost is still paining him since he is no longer relevant in the political line! !!

says who?,let GEJ be afterall his analysis is right

kkkp:
idiat u lyk supportin criminals for a penny. U nid a gud job

where is the evidence man?, don't you know that as possible as it is for dasuki to be guilty is also how possible it is for the DG(okereke) to be lying.let's wait for a concrete and handy evidence to nail dasuki.

[quote author=modath post=40185967][/quote]I don't see the post as a game changer for the anti-dasuki's. There is no change of statement here and don't think this is capable of getting me mis-informed. *BADTMARKET *

wexyee:
u re blind by hatred.. azazi who's obviously killed by gej died in buharis tenure Abi? OK wat abt yakowa? I can go on and on..... u should understand that by now we know ur type..... stop acting as if you are feeling for the dead... Cus is a lie u re just using it to make ur godforsaken claim

Since Azazi was killed by GEJ then I have the right to say that yakowa and others were killed by YOU in GEJ's tenure. Your comment is so demeaning.

sirthisthickkal:
azazi, yakowa, Festus iyayi and many others died under whose tenure? Buhari? Maybe during the bloody tenure of Gej you were under incommunicado.

this comment is uncalled for who among these people you mentioned was murdered? Or didn't you pick from the OP that the deceased was strangled to death. Say the truth and stop been sentimental.

vedaxcool:
Jonathan wickedness still dey afflict Nigerians up till now oga oohh

till now? The last. Time I checked it is over six months GEJ left office and you still put the blame on him. NOw Nigerians can see who really was clueless.

By Rotimi Fasan
Finally, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, Nigeria’s Petroleum Resources minister until six months ago, seeks to be understood by Nigerians. The former highflying minister, one of the most influential in the Goodluck Jonathan administration, seems to be begging Nigerians for forgiveness, or at least for some slack in their criticism (or is it hatred of her guts?). Of course, Madueke did not actually ask Nigerians to forgive her. Those are not her exact words, but the intention is quite clear in the series of conversations she has had in the last couple of weeks with celebrity journalist, Dele Momodu. She seems to have come to a belated realisation of that Achebean warning to all misguided leaders that nobody wins a war against their own people.

[img]http://cdn2.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/412x267xDiezani-696x451-e1447521823452.png.pagespeed.ic.YHfSKo7iER.webp[/img]

Nigerians have in the last several months been treated to salacious tales of the former minister’s attempt to escape the law, even when there was no pending indictment against her or before her actual arrest in the United Kingdom. But the story out there was that she had been faking ill-health, specifically a life-threatening battle with cancer of the breast. This was after all attempts by her, the rumour mill had it, to have an audience with President Muhammadu Buhari were allegedly rebuffed by the then president-elect. Jonathan was hardly out of office before Madueke bade the government goodbye, leaving for the United Kingdom. She was suddenly away from the public gaze. For a woman who appeared to relish the spotlight, her absence was immediately obvious. Shortly after would the cancer rumour surface. Nobody had any proof of this or further news of her until she was suddenly flung back into the spotlight by news of her arrest in the UK.

Aggrieved Nigerians felt vindicated that they had been proven right about their long held view that Mrs. Alison-Madueke had corruptly enriched herself during her time in office. This while hundreds of millions of her country people suffered abjectly as a direct consequence of the looting unleashed on the Nigerian treasury by she and her ilk. Although a public officer she lived and conducted herself like royalty on Nigeria’s bill. She travelled by chartered flight with family members, Nigerians heard. A lot was said of and about her but she appeared to scorn the rabble rousing she must have taken complaints and allegations against her for. She simply had no time for Nigerians, not even to ‘set the record straight’ as some of her colleagues in the public eye would say.

All of this until her infamous arrest in the UK, followed by lurid tales of extravagant living. But as an alibi, the Madueke family employed the services of a lawyer to state their side of the story. It seemed then that her thick skin was beginning to soften up. Having denied all the allegations swirling about her, her attorney then let it out that her presence in the UK was to attend to her health that was being ravaged by cancer. Now it was official. While this ‘official’ revelation appeared to win her some sympathy, the vast majority of Nigerians were definitely not sold on the cancer story. It appeared to them a sob-tale directed at winning sympathy for one of those who didn’t care if they lived or died. There was no touch of remorse in Mrs. Madueke’s rebuttal of the allegations Nigerians had made against her. She appeared to want their sympathy while trying to show that she had been right and they all had been wrong all along. Her alibi would not wash for many. But it appeared to have opened a window through which she could speak with the world.

It is in an apparent attempt to build on this that the Dele Momodu angle entered the picture. In the first part of that encounter between the journalist and the ex-minister that took place in a London hideaway, the latter was portrayed as a reluctant interviewee whose minders would rather not see hold the interview. The whole encounter was made to look like a chance occurrence rather than the scripted plot it is turning out to be. Momodu succeeded in getting Nigerians to believe, even if they didn’t accept, that Madueke was indeed an ailing woman. His description of her appearance contrasted radically from what Nigerians knew of the woman. Yet, it looked like she would leave everything at the point in which her meeting with Momodu ended in London without any further desire to convince anyone.

It seems thereafter that Mrs. Madueke was convinced of the positive effect of that bit of her story Momodu tantalised the world with. It won sympathy for her surely, even if some of it sounded quite tongue-in-cheek. And so she went for an encore. Her surrogates put a call through to Momodu fixing a meeting. This time they agreed to what amounts to a more involved interview even if, according to Momodu, no recording device was permitted. Her shrivelled looks that Momodu only described in the first interview is now accompanied with at least one graphic image that has gone ‘viral’, to borrow Momodu’s own words about the social media impact of the first interview.

She debunked all allegations of corruption and alleged romance with Jonathan and her cat and mouse relationship with Patience. Truly, no one who knew Alison-Madueke would not feel some pity for her. She is indeed a mere shadow of her vivacious self.

Her new look is a resounding rebuke of any primitive acquisition of wealth. It is a sad reminder of the vanity that is all material possession, including the wanton fixation on so-called good looks or beauty. Ultimately what matters in life are those little things that money can only pretend to buy: the love of those who matter to us including those we serve as public office holders, good health and the peace of mind that comes with all of these. Mrs. Diezani sees now that the opinion, if not the love, of the ordinary people matter.

For too long she and a few like her in power treated the voice of the people with little or no respect. For too long, she saw no purpose in showing herself amenable to public opinion. All of that makes her latest desire to be seen in a better light look a bit too belated. Many are already fixed in their opinions. And justifiably so. As they argue, if Mrs. Madueke wants their sympathy she first must give back to Nigerians what they believe she has taken. Her alibi is neither here nor there for as long as many see her as a beneficiary of the inhuman Nigerian system that has no respect for the ordinary people.

What Nigerians want is justice, not the death of Mrs. Madueke.

BEFORE EVIL PEOPLE SAY MORE ON DEZIANI: Quick
Irrefutable facts.
1. She has not used pathos nor appealed for anyone's
sympathy. She is just a sick woman that even delayed
her hospital photos till obviously a slight break from
the chemo. While in office she was undergoing
chemo in the UK. The cancer seems to have
progressed....sadly.
2. She has not sought an injunction from any courts
that would stop her prosecution
3. Sick people are prosecuted. Buhari's army even
courtmartials dead soldiers. Deziani has not told
anyone she cannot attend a trial.
4. Deziani is in the UK, same place that jailed Ibori
and was prosecuting Late Alamieseigha. UK that has
extradition agreement with Nigeria.
5. Deziani is facing ZERO charges in the UK.
6. The senate cleared NNPC of any fraud under
Deziani.
7. External world-reputed auditors audited Deziani's
NNPC. They did not find her wanting.
8. For 6 Months Oshiomole and Co have been unable
to bring up charges against her.
9. We understand that more international auditors
have been commisioned to investigate her. The
silence from APC is deafening on this. Could it be
they are finding ZERO evidence of wrongdoing?
10. six monthssss 6 MONTHSSS six months after NO
WORD of an account or money traced to her. SIX
MONTHSSSSSSS.
11. Kachikwu praised Deziani and her initiatives right
there when he was made minister.
12. The SUBSIDY FRAUD Buhari and co accused her
of, they are paying the same amounts she paid even
when crude oil price has been halved.
13. It is the same arrangements for refining fuel
abroad etc etc that NNPC is still using...the very same
contracts.
14. All vessels she approved to load, Buhari having
shot from the hips and banned them, have all been
given clean bill of health.
15. The Tompolo she and her government put in
charge of waterway security and as some sort of
"citizen policing/vigilante" the Buhari government
and NIMASA, having reviewed it have stated that
Tompolo has the job for the next ten years.
16. Fuel scarcity was minimal in her time of service
with prices remaining constant even through
Christmas.
17. The fuel queues and black market which only
came about by sabotage at the end of their tenure is
alive and well now especially outside Lagos. Black
market is booming again.
18. The oil theft has not abated a drop since she left,
showing the intractability of that malaise and that she
is not to blame.
19. Moreover she is not the police that should
become GI Jane and go after oil thieves.
20. Again, not one "subsidy cabal" has been linked to
her as her company the way Lagos tax collection
companies are linked to Tinubu and Fashola.
21. Buhari and Nigeria in six months have not been
able to show how removing her has led to increased
earnings in any way. They have not told us the
barrels declared under her were short. It is same
barrels and volume of production.
22. There is evidence of fraud against Fashola, placed
on public notice by his successor... SPECIFIC DETAILS
OF GROSSLY OVERPAID-FOR WEBSITES, BOREHOLES
PRICES ONLY POSSIBLE IN MARS and FOOTBRIDGES
PAID FOR BUT NEVER BUILT. There is a standing
judicial decision against AMaechi in Rivers. SIX
MONTHS AFTER, NOT ONE SPECIFIC FRAUD PUT
BESIDE THE NAME OF DEZIANI.
23. Evidence of the MONORAIL OF AMAECHI and
FASHOLA TRAINS are there as monuments to their
failure. Deziani successfully fixed four refineries to
very appreciable extents that BUHARI WAS CREDITED
WITH DOING THEM WITH BODY LANGUAGE. While
Amaechi's Monorail has been declared a waste of
state resources and moneys being voted to clear the
Billion naira worth of debris, NONE OF DEZIANI'S
PROJECTS HAVE A QUESTION MARK ON THEM.
24. Nigeria has in six months paid TSA 62 Billion
which has been FLAGGED by the senate and
populace. With same Saraki and Dino Malaye in the
7th Senate, NONE EVER FLAGGED HER PROJECTS.
NOT ONE!!!!
25. While people say "the courts have not declared
them thieves" on Fashola and Rotimi, those same
witches and wizards have condemned THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL AND ONE OF THE MOST EDUCATED AND
ACCOMPLISHED WOMEN EVER IN NIGERIA. Ever ever
ever!!!
26. We restate Deziani's Accomplishments
a. She is an architect. How many women architects
do you know personally?
b. She has a masters degree from CAMBRIDGE. That
is an IVY LEAGUE school. (not some moimoi foreign
school)
c. She is THE FIRST FEMALE DIRECTOR OF SHELL EVER
EVER EVER.
d. She has held THREE MINISTERIAL POSITIONS
SINCE 2007. Transport, Mines and Steel and then the
position Amaechi and Tinubu can murder someone
over PETROLEUM. Buhari is STEPPING INTO HER
SHOES.) That is 8 clear years of meritorious service.
e. SHE IS THE FIRST FEMALE OPEC PRESIDENT EVER
EVER EVER!!!!
f. She is the FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF GAS
EXPORTING COUNTRIES ever.
G. She was Vice President of OPEC before then
h. Should we mention that she is the first female
transport minister in Nigeria ever?
These are irrefutable. To comment, state the number
and give me FACTS only. For beer parlour and tabloid
gists of corruption, go to Sunday Akoji's wall. We deal
only facts here.
Finally, HER AILMENT IS NOT A JUDICIAL EXCUSE
BEFORE LAW. GET BUHARI TO PROSECUTE HER OR
GO AND DEEP YOUR HEAD IN AN AJEGUNLE LATRINE
if you believe she is guilty. Enough stories of tortoise
and squirrel from APC supporters. GEJ is no longer
"protecting" her. Press charges or shut the freaking
hell up.
Instead una go dey pray make una daughters grow
up to be like her, people wey no fit knock her papa or
husband gate, wey dey write application to SHELL and
them no take them go dey open mouth give who be
DIRECTOR for the shell. Government work get insult
no be small.
May God stretch forth his healing hands to the
loveliest MOST BEAUTIFUL creature to ever be called
MINISTER in Nigeria. God heal her please.

[It was discovered that the former NSA directed the Central Bank of Nigeria to transfer the sum of $132 Million and €9.9 Million to the accounts of Societe D’equipmente Internationaux in West Africa, United Kingdom and United States of America for un-ascertained purposes, without any contract documents to explain the transactions.]

When did dasuki have the power to solely give directives to the CBN to transfer sums into other accounts?. PMB is just frustrating the former NSA cos of the role he played in the. Year 1985.

Tell them,the problem witH many nigerians is that they celebrate over every thing, no one knOws what GMB's government will bringforth but they are already showering praises. From my own point oF view there are different ways to win, GEJ lost in the pollS but achieved. What many past leaders hungered for. He still remains aN undisputed champion who choosed to accept defeat as a sitting presidenT for the continuity of the nation. GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN always re-writes history and will forever be remembered.

It is a normal thing for an outgoing president to share one or two things with the incoming president, but with Jonathan (an empty container) Buhari will have to wait until the arrival of a yellow elephant to pull anything out of this Otuoke dude.

Buhari shouldn't waste his time, our sleep walking president has absolutely nothing to share.

then why is he complaining?, u can't pluck fruits from a barren tree, abeg come up with something beta that will help salvage baba's current problem U heard

For all those who feel that dokpesi is just rantling, don't forget that he still has a legal backing. He also knows how far the long arm of the law can reach. Dokpesi should not be accertained as a nobody. Mr. Buhari should rule the country democratically without including personal issues in his dealings.

Hmm funny story, are u sure he doesn't eat dog meat?
