In this 'Season of Sealing', I hope the Emir's palace is not visited by those men with paint brush and your white turban is marked with a 'red X'. Happy valentine dear EFcC.

A Thief Cannot Call Me Corrupt...Amaechi.

Of course, so we declare a stalement and the system, corruption wins. Said it. That is the sum of all fears. Without justice and equity you CANNOT build a good society and without restructuring the Nigerian state remains perpetually unstable. Change the game not the players.

Nigerians don't think too far, the operatives of that agency even worse. When the next government comes in and there are moves to proscribe, degrade or destroy that agency with political might out of vengance let us accept the carnage we will have caused by hailing a dancing madman with a light in a gas station.

If we must succeed we must have long term perspectives to mind our actions. This is only possible with the guidance of institutions and these institutions can only be founded if the shoots grow in the soil of professionalism, equity and justice.

The way the EFCC is going it is heading for the dustbin of history if it doesn't do things right and we the people will pay for it by having to start from scratch again and again.

It is not there to serve individual interests or even government interests but the interests of the people who own and fund it and must reflect the ideals of the people.

WAI in the 80's was a great policy and program. The reason it is not here today is that it turned against the people it was meant to serve becoming a willing tool in the hand of government so when the government fell, it fell. Wisdom in life is neither hot nor cold, it is finding the right balance.

Jesusloveyou:
that is why we have to support pmb to help us caught people like obj,ibb etc, without that nobody can help us.

And what is the end game in 'catching' them....I mean what does that offer the country or her citizens to make that task worthy of the Presidency or your votes for him. In plain terms, a ticket with manlfesto tag, 'OBJ/IBB Catcher' will actually draw your vote....really?...hmmm.

nijanigga:
No wonder Nigerian youths are not employable, very many parochial minds from the comments I read here. When Obj said Buhari should start from himself, what does it mean? folks, it means so many things, don't be narrow minded and give it only one interpretation.

It means it should start from himself. That is what everyone wants, supporters and oppöents. Supporters said that is who he is, opponents want proof, neutrals....just dey look...

lookandlaff:
All the more reason why OBJ should keep quiet

Well IBB is not in power and the one who is cannot do anything against him.... except if one of them makes a mistake and rocks the 'ex-president's boat' and breaks 'omerta'.

They should sit down jare. Are they not the ones that introduced us to the 'generator' sub-culture. The 40 thieves of every Alibaba since independence.

foriz4u:
don't b too sure dude because that's the call of vast majority of Nigeria. so he will be winning the heart of many including non APC supporters and that will give him an automatic ticket for 2019.

mind you if obj can b probed and brought to book believe Nigeria would have eliminated every corrupt persons in the country because he (obj) is like a market with many road network

And who or which one of them hasn't stolen....

lookandlaff:
This OBJ is looking for trouble o, we all know he was flat broke when he became president but the man can't stand not being the center of attention so he must keep running his mouth.


IBB knows people in glass house don't throw stones, IBB keeps quiet, IBB is enjoying his money, Be like IBB!

IBB has mounds of dirt on all of them so like the stone-fish they tip-toe round him. He who lives in a cemetry does not fear skeletons in the cupboard.

Marotzke:
Problem is that the girl in question is now a fully commissioned officer in the Nigerian army, probably a full lieutenant.

To sanction her, a full court-martial will have to be instituted. Problem is that the offence was committed before she was commissioned, so outside the jurisdiction of the army council.

Since she has graduated and commissioned, Nigerian Defence Academy NDA, can no longer discipline her. Police also cannot touch her because she is now army property.

Best option is that the man enlist the services of Falana or keyamo for a punishing civil law suit against the lady, when ever she is identified.

The person who filmed the whole show was probably a fellow cadet then. That fellow should be be put on the watch list by the Directorate of Military intelligence. He or she possess the stuff that treachery and treason are made of.

What you are saying is not true. Once you are enlisted to train you become an officer in waiting, accorded privileges that go with rank and pay. You are registered and a file is opened at DHQ. If taken up and found warranting she could be court-martialed. It happened on military time, she wore the uniform and was probably on a pass issued by her adjutant. There is nothing to extricate her here.

I took a leak this morning but the John wouldn't flush so I rushed downstairs to discover the reservoir had been sealed....good news, it was the house keeper. Says he spotted a leak and had called the plumber....in this season of sealing.

Everything in Nigeria is just deteriorating. Absolutely everything. You talk about the most technically qualified gaffer, you talk about youth, ideas, exposure, you ask for former internationals to take charge...you still get the usual Nigerian bovine expeletives....and a mad rush for the basement of humanity. What is wrong with the black man.

OLADD:
Can somebody drum it into the ears of Lai Mohammed to stop playing on people's intelligence? Nigerians are not expecting overnight turnaround in national outlook but can recognise a positive change when they see one.

Definitely, a positive change can never be accompanied with;

1. Increase in Electricity Tariff without steady power.

.2. Increase in price of kerosene without palliatives to the vulnerable poor masses.

3. Skyrocketing exchange rate at over N300 to a Dollar.

4. Increase in feeding allowance at the presidency from N500m to N1.7b

5. Presentation of a national budget to the NA without vetting or detailed scrutiny thereby resulting in unprecedented ignominy.

6. Disjointed or non-existent economic policy direction that scares away FDI .

7. Lack of intelligence blueprint in tackling terrorism, kidnapping, armed robbery and other social menaces.

These are the issues bothering Nigerians and not necessarily been over-expectant. We are no dumbs

Looking at the socio-political, socio-economic landscape over the last decade there is really nothing that suggests Nigerians know how their country works let alone how it can be established and developed. All we see is action and reactivity to skin pain and pleasure.

Alawe:
This time around when you come with another change campaign tell the people what you EXACTLY MEAN not after you will be giving us excuse telling us we misunderstood it.

So you admit Nigerians are ignorant, donot know what they want, cannot understand what their leader's mean, are easily deceived....and on and on. Then it is Nigerians that need the change, need to change to become proper, enlightened citizens.

Mutuwa:
Funny how people wish for the destruction of their own country,just to show that a populace voted for the wrong person...

Who then is the right person?

You Mr. Citizen. Glad you guys know the Presidency is overrated and that a game change is more important than a players' substitution. Nigerians are so slow, terribly irresponsible and bereft of understanding.

Tycoflu:
No I'm not at all. Some civil servants made amendments to the budget for their own financial benefit and the President is about to quietly fish them out and punish them to serve as deterrent to others. He did not even make it public yet wailers are here, accusing him of blaming others.

What do wailers want self?
*in PMB's voice*.

Is it not because of 'wailers' you got to know about the 'mafia'. You hate pain but it is what keeps you alive, warning you that your body is malfunctioning. If you are an adult you will ask 'why' rather than taking pain killers. PDP ignored the pain until the cancer killed them. Do same at your peril. Its clear you are not interested in the quality of government you support, just politiking. Continue comparing your party to the rejected one and your end is as sure as theirs.

Better wake up. Nigerians will not use the same yardstick of 1999 to 2015 to measure this government and will sure not give it 16 months thoughtless of 16 years. It is human nature to learn from experience.

Under this structure one thing is certain. Corruption can never end. Just wasting their time in this musical chair dance.

Adaure4ever:
Buhari is finding it tough now. Nigeria problems are complex.

Season of confessions. Na now you know.

'Budget Mafia'. Yet another colorful term added to the Nigerian lexicon. So who is the godfather or...capone....

I expect this to be discussed at a high level meeting in Beijing whenever (you know who) pays a state visit there with full apologies to the Chinese people via CCTV....na joke oh.

NOETHNICITY:
The purpose of those statements is a simple msg to Nigerians to change their attitudes! Nigerians re actually bad!

How many foreign Heads of State have spoken before our press explaining how bad their country men have conducted themselves in Nigeria or are they all and ever saintlv.

America has a very destructive gun culture, very alien to most other nations and has been a thorn in the flesh politically and emotionally to Obama who incidentally travels more than most Heads of State and due to his popularity and amiable character gets interviewed and quizzed by the world's press. When difficult questions like the gun problem arises he is never quick to answer and always thoughtful in response, never, never, never disparages the people who in his heart he severely opposes. Same with race issues and other stuff. That is mature leadership. Thoughtful.

joseph1832:
If the citizens Cameron represent are known for their drug trafficking habits as well as blatant disregard for immigration law, I believe he will.

Well show me an instance of ANY Head of State doing that in Nigeria or between any two countries you have ever witnessed. Think hard and long and be honest in your response...just like Buhari wants you to be...

joseph1832:
If the citizens Cameron represent are known for their drug trafficking habits as well as blatant disregard for immigration law, I believe he will.

They were known for worse, slavery and colonialism. The vestages of which are still present. They are known for harbouring looted resources from the third world. How many British Prime Ministers have admitted to that on visits to Nigeria to the media. My question still stands. What what the purpose of those statements. For what!

acevic:
It baffles me at times when I read comments made by some Nigerians on critical issues like this. ..now, I respect Sen. Ben and some of his views but I disagree with his comments on this. I'm not saying the president has done a perfect thing by his remarks but we have to look at issues the way they are and stob being bias in our thinking.
We are all aware of the havoc that some nigerians in diaspora are causing. Credit card frauds, dating scams, internet banking transfer frauds, drugs, name any illegal activity inn this world, a Nigeria will surely be tagged along. So what the heck are talking about biting back at the president for saying the truth when we all know the truth. Truly the truth is bitter and it hurts when its been told. We Nigerians hate the hear that some of us are criminals but sadly, its the truth.
To address a problem, you have to identify it, sometimes accept that you have the problem then look for lasting solution.

You may think it makes the president happy to make such comments about his people but it doesnot. He just can't deny anymore with so much facts and evidences lying in front of him. The white peeps keep records and document even the smallest incident especially when its relates to foreigners. So pause for a moment and think about it before you call for PMB's head, has he told a lie about the criminal activities of some of us? The naswer is no.

In my own opinion, he working on building a better image for us. We can't be denying the obvious when the whole knows already.

We should call for change and pray that the people involved in these disgraceful acts have a change of heart.

Okay, so the British press has the solutions to our dire problems and the British public should pray for us to repent from our criminality.

joseph1832:
PMB should not be deter from saying the truth. Its obvious those condemning him are the ones guilty of what PMB is saying, if not, why are they so angry and pained?

Saying the truth to who and for what purpose. Answer. Will Cameron come to Nigeria to tell his citizens the truth to Sahara reporters, Channels Tv, Senator Bruce or Seun.

My own question is simple. People say things for a reason. What is the reason, the purpose, the direction, the end game of Buhari's responses.

joelpearl:
This is English bros. God bless Nigeria is different from God bless Nigerians.

And what is Nigeria. Einstein

Adaure4ever:
dats not what I mean.
If you count the statistics of Crime commited by Africans in UK, it is commited mainly by Nigerians.
All this Scam of a thing.
That is the point Buhari wants to make.

Make to who and for what purpose. What is his objective, the end game.

sameer1212:
No mind them. Don't tell me you don't know people complaining All these kids you see ranting on social media has not ever step out of their village talk less of what's going on out side Nigeria. The president spoke the bitter truth. They should stop doing drug trafficking,human trafficking and other silly things that bring shame to the country simple.

God bless Nigeria

So why say God bless Nigeria. Does God bless criminals.

Yeah....her tummy is decidedly flatter than the chief crime buster's....so who's been nursing lately eh...

Change the game not the players. Restructure Nigeria.
