MizMyColi:I believe we have addressed these issues in the recent past... The challenges are immense, but you should recognize, appreciate and acknowledge the degree of the rot you handed over as well. Who failed to solve the electricity problem which we have inherited, and failed to restore the refineries and instead wasted billions of dollars in scam off-shore processing agreements which Diezani and co. used to fleece this country, ultimately causing perennial fuel scarcities all through his tenure? The aftermath is what we live with today. Who failed to diversify our economy from oil in the time of oil-price boom, and emptied our foreign reserves through a combination of corruption and incapacity to lead which ended in him being tricked by his governors to share the SWF? The DIRECT aftermath of these are the economic troubles we are facing today under low oil prices, and high exchange rates which our efforts to control is resulting in our ejection from bond indexes. Who supervised the looting and mismanagement of of the defence budget through his aides (Dasuki n co.) which seriously hampered the fight against BH, and resulted in the loss of thousands of lives? The failure to fight the terrorists with political will and sincerity, resulted in their blossoming and is the reason we are still fighting them today. You see, while we are not blind to the realities that face us today, its is an insult to conscience, logic and common sense for the same set of people that wanted all of the above and more to continue till 2019, to come and pontificate about good governance while condemning a President that inherited these challenges just seven months ago. Put simply, you lack the moral capital to admonish or condemn Buhari or Buharists. Enjoy your evening . |
hardbody:The root of the issue is that the funds were not appropriated, a fact which Ngozi clearly acknowledged in her letter, but yet were approved and disbursed on executive order to the CBN. The succeding revelations show that the funds were then diverted to Dokpesi and co. as part of fees for Jonathan's re-election campaign. These were funds that were supposed to be used to protect the lives of 5,000 soldiers and 25,000 civilians lost to Boko Haram so far. |
Jonathan failed to deliver the 2nd Niger Bridge to the SE, failed to develop or clean up his own SS and marginalized the SW which he disregarded till the elections. Jonathan failed the North, and shot himself in the foot by establishing almajiri schools, when the almajiri system is an ideology (twisted) and not a result of lack of public schools. He failed to develop its solid mineral potentials and empowered thugs to insult the region instead. Jonathan failed to solve the electricity problem which we have inherited, and failed to restore the refineries and instead wasted billions of dollars in scam off-shore processing agreements which Diezani and co. used to fleece this country, ultimately causing perennial fuel scarcities all through his tenure. The aftermath is what we live with today.

Put simply, you lack the moral capital to admonish or condemn Buhari or Buharists. Have a nice day. IsaacBuchi: |
Matthewbriggs:The flaw in your argument is twofold. 1. You have failed to acknowledge the primacy of rights of others, in the process of exercising your right to free speech. Your right to swing your elbow, ends where my right to have an unbroken nose starts. 2. Your core argument is hinged and anchored on 'what NL is supposed to be'. That decision is legally and customarily for a business owner(s) to make, and no one else. It's called a vision and a mission, which can only be guided but not determined by the desires of the customer. I emphasize that your assertion that Seun's order is a gag order which could silence the agitation, is completely untrue and overtly dramatic, in light of the plethora of fora available to continue the agitation in their desired fashion. The current envelope the message is carried in (hatred, incitement and provocation) is clearly not in consonance with the vision Seun has for his business. |
Your right to free speech ends where the next persons right to peaceful existence starts. There are several other fora where the agitators and their provocative approach could express their voices, so asserting that the regulation of their activities on just nairaland is equal to gagging or silencing them, is deceptive, exaggerated and overtly dramatic. |
That means Jonathan is eventually going to end up in the ICC. The blood of the innocents caked in the fields of the Sahel, cry out for justice. |
naijapips02:You seem lost in the details. Jonathan approved the disbursement of over $2.1 Billion and N650+ billion ex-budgetary funds from the Central Bank of Nigeria, under the label of 'security vote' to purchase arms, the same monies were then diverted to his Presidential campaign, including disbursements of over 2 Billion naira to Raymond Dokpesi. All of this while Nigerians were perishing in their thousands. There is nothing even similar about both cases. |
There's nothing exact about this. You're comparing rocks and oranges. naijapips02: |
naijapips02:It never was an issue I was concerned with, to begin with. Why not research and tell us. If there's nothing, allow the man to focus on his new portfolio as a Super Minister. |
StOla: ![]() |
You seem to know. Why not tell me? He does not sign cheques as he told you. Nobody talked about any special executive order because it was a regular expenditure and not ex-budgetary, so it was likely not necessary for that particular project. naijapips02: |
Why? What would he do? What would you do beyond protest which we've been seeing for weeks? It's clueless Jonathan that hastily denied disbursing the funds that Dokpesi has confirmed, that we are talking about here, not a smart escape artist. If the award is for being meek in defeat, he should keep collecting them. kingdompropty: |
Tunami:Not so. With four wives allowed to each man by their religion, the northern population comes as no surprise. |
The plot thickens.... There is no way Jonathan can escape this one... Except if it's possible to be a hero for sacrificing the lives of thousands of Nigerians to Boko Haram, because you want to win an election. |
I'm not arguing Jonathan's complicity because it is as clear as day. Only Jonathan could have given an executive order for security funds to be released from the CBN. Ex-budgetary funds. As I said I'm not arguing, take your defence to Abuja when the time comes. kingdompropty: |
Iroh88:Their efforts are in complete futility and their opinions are irrelevant in the actual scheme of things. Theirs is a minority opinion in Nigeria at any time. Remind yourself of this whenever you read their comments and all you'll be left with is the comic value of their delusions. Safe. |
Nobody accused Jonathan of signing any cheque. He is accused of doing what ONLY a President has the power to do; give an executive approval for ex-budgetary disbursement of 'security' funds from the CBN. Propaganda dead on arrival. |
At the end of the day, Jonathan must account for his role in the scam. There are no two ways about it. Wailers can dance and meander around the issue for as long as they like. When the clueless inexperienced looter is pinned down by the goddess of justice, hopefully FireFire n co. will save us their cries and focus on the administration's affairs as well. |
Nice write-up. The funny identity of the organization was the initial red flag, the agitators will grab onto anything to legitimize their illogical quest. |
The wise Governor and the ruling party are quite aware of the PDP's plan to use IPOB to disrupt this administration and frustrate the repatriation of our commonwealth from the thieves and evil looters that fleeced this country under the last administration. Asari Dokubo who promised violence against Nigeria if GEJ lost is now a ring leader in IPOB. Northerners must try to ignore this provocation from the South East and allow the military to decisively deal with the criminal arsonists and vandals, since the previously peaceful nature of the protests has been completely shattered and security agents have been reportedly disarmed and killed. This is a chance for the North to wipe off the label of religious uprising and leave it for those that have decided to wear it boldly on their chests. Kudos to El-Rufai and the arewa governors working hard to ensure that the unwarranted provocation does not escalate. |
This is mind boggling These goats have been having a party in our barn...damn! Buhari over to you sir. This one is kirikiri material...10 yards. |
It's not rocket science. Remember Asari Dokubo promised bombs and violence if GEJ lost. As soon as Buhari won what did he do? He joined IPOB. They have failed.

Actually most of the actors were from the NW/NC which have been relatively unaffected by the menace. Kanuris (BH) are a minority northern group located in the NE. ideatoprince18: |
You've read of the diversion of massive funds meant to fight BH by the former NSA, and revelations of Arms-laden trucks being escorted illegally by Dasuki's Miltary boys allegedly for onward delivery to BH, yet you ask if the sponsors have been found? Read between the lines. |
Bgino:Of course. We need every dime we can get at this point. |
Proper. Anyone that was doubting PMB's anti-corruption drive is wide awake now. The grilling Dasuki will receive will have him singing like a canary bird in a few days. I hope GEJ's movement will be monitored from hereon. |
PassingShot:It truly calls for sober reflection. May the soul of Late General Patrick Owoye Azazi rest in peace. He foretold it all; "Boko Haram is PDP, and PDP is Boko Haram". |
I said this yesterday. The timelines were just too close. Rawani: Rawani:So Goodluck Jonathan diverted funds meant for fighting BH to his re-election campaign while innocent Nigerians were being slaughtered in their thousands? The supposed commander in chief and chief security officer of Nigerians? We have been vindicated. The 6-week fight against Boko Haram that they postponed elections for was a complete SCAM. GEJ deserves no mercy. |
Jonathan is completely involved. Who approved the ex-budgetary disbursement of $2.1b by the CBN, that lies at the root of this case? Quote me once the revelation hits FP. bros12345: |
This is clearly a declaration of territory. Set in context of the latest stern warning of engagement from the Armed Forces, this is a firm symbolic warning for the secessionists to back down. |

Indeed.
