Yes. I agree with you. Same with burning people in the streets for robbery. It's progress.

My dear. This is just one case involving just one source and just 2.1 billion dollars. And look at the complex web it is already weaving to include so many from the streets to the Presidency. Can you imagine what will happen if every one of these people open up on all they know about all monies and all peoples. Tell me who will stand. Will you even have a government left.

Just a few examples. How far are you willing to push Nduka, Anenih, etc. How much dirt do you think these guys have.

Your understanding of corruption is very limited. You think it the oyibo type where a man steals a million and jets of to Bermuda to live happily ever after. Nigerian corruption is like a mosquito infected swamp. They chop the money and lay eggs to form the next generation of corruptors. That is why it is systemic. If you think Anenih ate the 300 billion road fund alone you must be as naive as trying to rid the swamp of bugs with a fly swatter. Just wait and watch the net grow till it breaks.

Nigerians don't really understand how dangerous this new line of thinking they've started. They are not letting the courts do their jobs and are witch hunting everyone. This was how they dragged linda ikeji into it without proof. This is no different than jungle justice. Na wah for una.

I call it progress. Perhaps next time he will be cautious in 'receiving strange money' even if it is from his pastor to his pet poodle. But hey, what do I know. Can I place a wager that he has harvested his first million from his exalted position....

Bevista:
There is no hypocrisy here, son. Obaigbena said that N50m was given to NGE, but the media twist that to mean that N50m was given to Adesina.

It is the place of the Guild to respond, except their explanation shows that the purpose of the funds was questionable or it can be proven that Femi (as president) pocketed the funds personally.

The anti-corruption war will never be won if corruption cannot be defined. All these, 'I smoke but I did not inhale' or 'I slept but did not penetrate'. You guys are just wasting your time.

When policemen say the public induces them to collect bribe or women say without patrons there will be no harlotry or Americans blame the Colombians for the drug menace, it will never end. Once more, just wasting your time. Almost every single Minister in the 1983 cabinet of General Buhari are dollar millionaires today and at the time of their deaths. Corruption is systemic and CANNOT be eradicated. Have fun.

Look, whatever your opinion about TB Joshua may be, you can't deny that when he speaks, people should sit up and listen. TBJ has consistently prophesied, albeit often in parables, about events both nationally and internationally which have later confirmed to be true. Remember, he is giving these prophecies LIVE on a television station that is viewed by literally millions. Give the guy some credit - there's definitely a connection to the supernatural...

The supernatural is a very broad medium where all kinds of spirits operate. God is there, Satan is there, Angels are there, demons are there and so are anointed men and women and posessed men and women. Every one mentioned in that group knows the future. What you see in the spirit has nothing to do with where you stand as a person.

He is the Elijah of our time.

Elijah of whom. Now you know about North Korea and their bomb then what. What does it do for God and His Kingdom. God did not send Jesus to give us information and He avoided being drawn into predictions. If the Word sent does not save you and does not glorify Him then it is not from Him. There are many spirits out there with privy information. What they do with it shows the source.

8. Please ad yours

Nothing there for me. Won't be a guinea pig for Chinese knock-offs.

Hmmm. Said it. They are just wasting their time.

We of the 'Green Movement' donot subscribe to such waste and degradation of our beloved planet.
Do you know how much water it takes to grow, harvest, process one pound of cotton. Do you know how much damage chlorinated bleach is doing to ground water. New fanny cover every time I shave. Are you nuts. Cut a branch of fig leaves for all I care....

Our problem is not corruption but structure. These recurring acts give ammunition to seperatists and seccessionists. We have said agriculture as a mass employment industry is our get-out-of jail card in the face of economic gloom. How many will remain on their farms with these knowing well that the middle-belt, the epicentre of the tumult is the food basket of Nigeria. We have serious structural problems in Nigeria that will come to a boil in a few years time.

Let us keep issues in proper perspective and not leave our kitchen to go up in a blaze while we watch with keen distraction the anti-corruption drama.

Just wasting their time...and entertaining Nigerians along the way.

The GOV waiting for oil prices to increase before paying workers salary.... Oct nov dec and all that matters is chieftancy promotion. How about giving a directive for workers to be paid in 48hrs instead of oluibadan to reverse promotion..

Ha,ha. Tragic comedy.

Hmmm....Electronic AIDS: Access > Instal > Destroy > System

Real madrid president florentino perez deserves the sack for replacing carlo ancelotti with rafa benitez in the first place....

Exactly my thoughts. That man is crazy in the head. You just won your 10th Champs after years of trying....and then destroy the team. Perez is just crazy.

When ppl insult U,u do the right thing[that is change}buharis weakness is that he is an elected tyrant.
He should simply prove pdp wrong and obey court orders.
The dss can collect dakusi and kanus travel documents and put them on some certain restriction until they clear their names in court.
But who will explain democracy to a cattle supervisor?

You started out well but ended poorly. Who or what will save you folks from this viscious cycle.

I like constructive critism, it makes me see things that needed to be improved on.
What does PDP actually want? They wrote that they are the best opposition, who are they competing with? Isn't the Dasukigate revelation enough for them to bury their head in shame?

APC has mastered the act of opposition that they have forgotten that they are now the ruling party or governing party.Why would they be critizing the critics?

Which one be bury head in shame. Hope you are not saying stop talking because of the corruption cases. You must and all Nigerians must learn to seperate politics from governance. Why do we always mix the two. PDP was obviously poor in governance but they must continue to be alive in politics for the sake of democracy. The APC was not in governance when it was playing its opposition politics. The tables are turned and at the end of this administration it will fall out of favour similarly. Will that be its end, no.

Let us seperate individuals from institutions. Dasuki, Jonathan and co. are not the PDP, they are members. Similarly Buhari and co. are not the APC. They will come and go. The party will remain, govern in power, oppose without. That is a given and the only road to development.

In all parties in all democracies worldwide there have been the good, the bad and the ugly. The Democrats who rule today had a Kennedy but they also had a Nixon. The Republicans in opposition who see nothing in Obama had a Reagan but they also had a Bush Jnr. Life goes on.

Nigerians sef eh. Kai.

MalcoImX:
The only one used by the APC officially is the "Clueless" tag. And that is earned by GEJ. But you can go to jail by calling me Hitler or pe.dophile.

Told you guys when the seeds were being sown. No one imagined the APC in government then and no one imagined this kind of harvest. Said you guys will be playing defensive till 2019. You have to live with it and grow crocodile skin, impervious to mud.

seunmsg:
APC should ignore PDP's wailing and concentrate on delivering good governance. Engaging them in war of words can only lead to unnecessary distraction. Concentrate on delivering your electoral promises and your work will speak for you. Majority of Nigerians are reasonable and have discerning minds. They understand PDP's dirt throwing strategy. No matter what is said and done, they will wail for the next four years. So, it's better to just ignore them.

Hmmm. So is this how to ignore....

Most replies are on point. Personally I would favour Toyota over every model and year but a mint Hyundai. And you have not stated which state you are located. Traffic and road conditions are the number one test beds.

I think the newspaper should, for matter of urgent clarification, seek for a breakdown of what the money is used for, under the freedom of information act. That would give a more informed reporting and news worthiness.

By claiming cash withdrawal above N5m before 2015 when cashless policy went into force qualifies as money laundering, clearly shows that this reporter and newspaper do not understand nor sought to understand banking laws and regulations before going ahead with this report. It was the cashless policy which went into force late in 2015 that prohibited cash withdrawals above N500,000 for individuals and N2m for corporate bodies, with some exemptions. Before this period, an organization or an individual has the right to utilize funds belonging to them in whatever manner they deem fit. With the cashless policy however, Withdrawals above these limits must be done via cheques or other electronic channels

By claiming these transactions are evidence of money laundering, this newspaper opens themselves up for claims of ignorance and libel, especially as such withdrawals must have been authorized by the valid authority of the NAS. For the NAS to have authorized such withdrawals means there must have been a purpose for the withdrawal and these should have been the purview of this reporting, rather than a blanket labeling of transactions done by the NAS as acts of crime

I can be sure the banks mentioned therein would never have paid those cheques if the authorized signatories of the NAS had not signed or if the withdrawal of such sums constituted a violation of extant regulations. Please also note that what the money laundering law provided, which I suppose was the confusion of this reporter, is that whenever withdrawal in such sums are made, the bank must report such transactions to the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, which is an arm of EFCC

The purpose of this report is for NFIU to consider if there is/are any reason to treat such transactions as suspicious and should they think so, seek clarification

Thank you. We are now firmly in the era of sensationalism. The media is exploiting the 'figure frenzy'. All you need to do is throw up some tale, color it with 'billions' and sell papers. The fact is Nigerians have given these assembly folks billions in salaries, allowances and perks. How they expect them to access these funds within guidelines the paper should state. They should tell us where the monies come from, what they are meant for, exactly where the legal line is crossed and what would have been the right thing to do.

But where are the monies from and what are the monies for that make it money laundering. Because all I can see there is a case of contravention of the CBN Act by the Clerks the likes of which should not be if proper channels are opened to them. The figures quoted donot look in excess of those legally appropriated to them. And you cannot accuse me of withdrawing my allowances how and when I like. Can't see the laundering here.

'Horrid abuse of financial regulations'. How do you pay these people these massive amounts without contravening. How are they being paid now. How does government, any government do business without contravening.

reminiscing:
I have really suffered o.A guy who happens to b a manager of a printing press that offered to assist me with my hostel Accommodation payment stopped picking my calls last week because I have refused to sleep with him.He said he loved me and all he is making for is for me to allow him sleep with him and he will give me the money he promised.I was surprised wen he promised to help with the payment because I met him last month and now imagine the Option he gave.I feel really disappointed....I wonder where our generation is headed for...

I wonder too. In those days our mothers farmed the land and carried rocks at construction sites to pay through school, these days they look for freebies here and there. Abeg take your sentiments elsewhere.

How is Buhari persecuting him. There are serious cases to answer and he must be held accountable. The methods are very crude and unruly but the objective is clear and just.

If every administration bought a vessel of over 100 ft or 20,000 tons during its tenure, we will have a relatively decent fleet in no time. Same thing for aircraft and ground weaponry.

Ginaz:
The way I see the whole matter is tribalism, igbos are siding Thiers while Yoruba's are siding their man too. Both of them are wrong, nobody did anything right! The person that truely deserved this fvcking award is KISS DANIEL! Wenti kesh sing sef? Bank's sabi anything? Kesh na worse, he's always shouting whenever he sings

Both of them dont deserved it sef, tribalism won't let some fans have common sense.

So you can all see what the real problem of Nigeria truly is, structure and the failure of the state has infiltrated every sector, corrupting every facet of our collective lives and attitude towards living. Change the game folks, not the players. Nigeria is yet to be a real country.

kweenkong:
You should talk to her. She regrets a lost love.
Ask the details of the meeting not to quarrel but to work towards your marriage. Tell her the dangers of the ex, reassure her of your love. But let her if she messes up she is gone.

She met up with an ex who never had sex with her but it resurrected old feelings. Let her know the guy might not feel the same and she should think if she is willing to end her marriage for that.

Part of your duties as a husband and leader of your home is guidance. God is ur strength.

Yes because she is a woman and you happen to be one. If the person were to be a man your response will be to call him all sorts of colorful names.
The bible says, 'if a man looks upon a woman (and vice-versa) lustfully, such a man has committed sin in his heart'. This one has moved on from lust to a statement of intent and you are sugar-coating things when the lady is gone already.

wat abt the red cloth, Just pray this wickedness doesnt get close to you. it is real. Wat abt those hen and bowls with food u see sometimes at T junctions. I hve seen a vulture at the front of someones shop with a red small rope.

And you see a vulture in front of a shop with red rope....and I say.....SO WHAT. You call it evil. I call it nature. What you think, say and then do is a product of what is in you. As a Christian my mind and mindset is not a canvass for the devil to paint any picture he desires. I see all God's creatures as good so I have never and can never be subject to evil influences. That is a tortoise I see, period. You kill it, you destroy God's creations and are in cahoots with whatever is destroying the planet, its people and its humanity.

Romans 12:2

Primitive people. Rice is an semi-aquatic/marshland grain. Is it too much to believe that it shares the same habitat with the humble tortoise and so can be trapped in the cultivation and processing of the cereal. What exactly is wrong with us as a people. Are we cursed never to use our minds positively.

Behira:
I dnt kno who to side in dis

If you don't know then you are part of the problem Nigeria faces. A citizenry without education, morals and values. Isn't it clear that these so called airforce cadets (whatever that means) took laws into their hands. Isn't it clear they rejected the intervention of the rightful authority in the police. Isn't it clear that the military (and you pitiful citizen) have not emancipated yourselves from the mental shackles of decades of military rule where they are police, judge and jury (and in this case jailers and increasingly executioners) and where they tower above the police in issues of civil disputes. When there is impunity everywhere from the very top, why wouldn't this happen, why wouldn't civilians be gunned down by the military regularly, why wouldn't needless insurgencies, militants and secessionists be created by the state, why wouldn't our institutions be undermined. I will never blame those with power, I will rather blame those who offer them a blank cheque and will away their humanity.

Ishilove:
Refence would mean you have many mentions so those of us who quote you are not replied, I guess.

So this 2016 will be the year of responding? How exciting!

Hope you're good?

I'm good. Very tired but okay. How ya doing.

Ishilove:
Hi dear, indeed.

I'm almost afraid to quote you because you NEVER respond, likely because of your username

I do my dear when time permits me a few glances but I promise to improve in the new year.

Ishilove:
Calm the fvck down and mind your language.

If you know you can't pass an opinion without insults then refrain from quoting me otherwise I will go nuclear on you.

We lack the mental fortitude and character required to do that.

Well, that is the reason why we CANNOT develop. 56 years after independence, more that a dozen governments of all shapes and sizes. The only recurring decimal, everything getting progressively worse.
