And they have been spending billions on phantom TAM's pumping drugs when they know the patient is dead.

Nigerians are so, so weak. I just can't understand it. What are we blaming Lai Mohammed for when we can all solve this problem. Nigerians import airplanes and complex machinery. Nigerians produce sustainable levels of cement and other materials. What is it about petrol if not corruption that prevents the ordinary man from making it or at least importing it. An when I mean ordinary man I mean the non establishment man. The man who is not in the club, cartel or system that is in control of this country and driving it to ruin. Restructure Nigeria and all thses problems will go away but you guys prefer suffering to 'real change'.

Corruption can never end.

mekaboy:
Is this how they plan to create the million jobs they promised?

Why not let amcon take over the management till the case is over? At least the staff get to keep their job.

This is how they make people jobless and it's not as if the money recovered goes to govt. They are efcc steal it .

The same conundrum we face when smuggled goods are incinerated while the poor and hungry look on

menix:
I just pity the families of the hotel workers.

How, why? When you throw in your lot with a person you know is a fellow employee not an employer then your horse must be saddled. When I say 90% of the Nigerian economy runs on 'black' cash there is one example and one response to it. That is why: Corruption can never be eradicated, corruption is systemic, endemic, institutional and total. The average Nigerian worker and business is one huge laundry basket for illegal movement of funds.

Meiji:
"It is our collective responsibility to pray for our state and not point accusing fingers"... just negodu this nonsense.

Pray for what exactly. Pr.ay, pray, pray. Yet the person you claim to pr.ay to has replied long before you were born saying, faith without works is deceased.

cold:
3 million illegal Nigerian immigrants? This is pure A grade bùllshit!

Plausible. Richard Branson must have taken one look at the dough British Airways was raking in exporting illegals and decided he wanted the raw materialr at source hence the team-up/buy-out move with the defunct Nigeria Airways.

muller101:
We need their names

Oya Shymexx, take the roll-call.

Better ask the Brits to deport them to Nairaland their native land.

There are no military solutions to ideological conflicts. Once 'god' is put into the equation you better fight the soul not the body.

50 hahahahaha.

The same Federal Government kwa. Is this not an admission that the year end deadline is trashed. Anyway with the billions swirling around the arms scandalees Boko has no problems in acquiring tangible targets.

TOEZOFFICIAL:
Can APC now focus on good governance and in fulfilling the promises they made, or thier media will trend another subject to distract the masses?

Distract, decoy, deceive, dupe and other dangerous d's of deviant diversionary delusions . To what end if true.

Good riddance.

Though the man is a monster the woman is not clean cut too.
Phone to text to visit. There is no way you will evolve through these stages unwillingly.

HopeAlive14:
All these are the handwork of corruption.

A nation where its citizenry suffer in the midst of plenty..

God have mercy on my Nigeria.

Which plenty. Can you define plenty please. 170 million people depending on 2 million barrels per day of crude oil is poverty status sir.

jusRadical:
Do not mind them.


When the price of crude oil started falling ($68 per barrel) with naira falling, gej reduced the pump price and the apc castigated him, saying yhat pms ought to be sold at less than N60 per lit.

But now, they want to rise it to N97 with crude oil selling at less than $35 per barrel

Hmmm. Its rather difficult to ignore that fact.

juman:
They are handling the economy in a panicky way.

But if the oil price linger at these low prices for very long time what will the apc do?

The economy would just collapse.

It will not collapse. The country only needs to tighten expenditure and raise alternative income, that's all.

NORAD:
And you didn't notice all these before marrying her. So, who's to blame?

He had cattarh and apollo that period.

jtjohn:
I fell 4 him........i know some players were against him dats the reason why they keep losing every matches.........I believe chelsea we rise again to regain their lost glory......*Team chelsea*

Once again. They are not like that, like Nigerians. Most professionals have long sight. They know how to look beyond personal parochial and work to the demands of excellence to ensure career longevity. They mjay be de-motivated by Mou but I don't think any high flying pro will play badly for 20 matches just to get his coach sacked.

gurunlocker:
carneiro the happiest now..... very proud coach

May not. They are not vindictive like Nigerians. They don't have 'bad-belleism'.

Themaingate:
END TIME SACK

I AM A CHELSEA FAN BUT WITH THE RATE AT WHICH WE ARE GOING DOWN WE COULD EASILY GET OIL FOR SURE

Yeah. Buhari doesn't need 38 billion to explore the Chad Basin. Just hire the Chelsea crew. Jose Mourinho - Project Manager. Mikel Obi - Drill Operator. More oil for Roman.

[quote authora tgjbgjg.b=Psalm18 post=41aj.j,gjact 088653]Small scale businesses are falling.
On the economy, I'll rate Buhari an 'E'.
The world has evolved from the military regime.
Ultimately a government will be judged and returned by the electorate in a free and fair elections on how well the economy is faring.
The war against corruption is good and noble but it can go side by side with sound financial decisions.

Very soon, people will be worn out of hearing we are recovering monies from the last government if their economic needs are not met.
A warning for the wise.[/quote]Warning. You guys are too slow to the table. I thought anti-corruption was the be all end all of government. Much so that when ye seek first the kingdom of righteousness all other things shall be added unto Nigeria. Anyway as the holy book says. Have faith.

ojun50:
Pls they should find solution to this oh my company is think of?

What you should find a solution to is your mid-morning cocktails. Not good for the company.

ABUJA—The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is set to reopen the trial of high profile politicians whose corruption cases had either been delayed or put in abeyance as a result of court injunctions.

A top management officer of the EFCC told Vanguard, yesterday, that the commission under the leadership of acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, was bent on reopening all the corruption cases involving top politicians, who were shielded by the court through perpetual injunctions that had temporarily tied the hands of the commission from prosecuting them.


Odili
Top on the list of those whose cases are to be reopened, is former Rivers State Governor, Dr. Peter Odili, who secured a perpetual injunction from a Federal judge barring the EFCC from investigating his eight-year tenure over alleged graft.

Justice Ibrahim Buba had granted a perpetual injunction restraining the EFCC from probing graft allegations its operatives levelled against the former governor.

The commission, however, filed an appeal against the ruling, which was described as strange by legal pundits. But the appeal has not made progress since it was instituted over four years ago.

However, the top EFCC operative vowed in an interview with Vanguard that all stumbling blocks to reopening the cases and similar ones would be removed by the Magu administration at EFCC with a view to bringing the former governor to book.

The top operative said that the new Criminal Justice Administration Act of 2015 has removed the stumbling blocks to prosecuting those who looted the nation’s treasury.

The senior management official of the commission said: “Let it be made clear that the EFCC will go after all cases that are deserving of investigation. There is nothing like perpetual injunctions anymore in our criminal administration justice code.

“We have a duty to investigate all cases since we are empowered by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to investigate all such corruption-related cases and that is what we are asked to do.

“We are empowered by Section 15 of the new Criminal Justice Administration Act to investigate all cases irrespective of injunctions. We cannot be stopped,” the official said.

The source confirmed that top officials in the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, who abused their office by fritting away huge national cash and assets would be summoned to clear the air on why they breached public trust.

Among those slated for questioning are former Minister of Finance & Coordinating Minister of the Economy in the last Administration, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and some former officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, who handled the disbursement of funds to the Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA.

Asked when the officials would be summoned, the official said no date had yet been fixed, adding, “I will find out and get back to you.”

In the meantime, the EFCC Chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, has established a Procurement Fraud Unit, PFU, to strengthen the fight against corruption in the country.

The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said in a statement to Vanguard, last night, that Magu made the disclosure in Abuja yesterday during a meeting with leaders of a coalition of civil society organisations.

Uwujaren said that Magu expressed concern over the increasing rate of procurement fraud and told his guests that the PFU would contribute immensely to the anti-corruption battle when it became operational.

“I am so concerned about procurement fraud. I am thinking of establishing a unit dedicated to procurement fraud. When put in place, it will go a long way in checking corruption,” Magu said.

Thought they were restricting to the Jonathan era. Odilli was 1999 to 2007, same corruption version Obasanjo operated....that Buhari has no anti-virus for.

Donbrig:
They will all pay for the crimes and unimaginable hardship they have unleashed on Nigerians for years. Let us remember to pray for Buhari and Nigeria as a whole. It is not an easy task fighting corruption in any part of the world, most especially Nigeria. If we can succeed the war against corruption, Nigeria will be the next China.

Make I hear word abeg. You think corruption or lack of it is what makes China a dragon. The society is rigid and unified and with a common will they do exploits. Where have you found any two Nigerians agree on anything positive. Our society that is racked with ethno-religious tumults ever so frequently we reboot our nationhood every few months; A country that is kept afloat by compromises and settlements enshrined in her constitution that breeds mediocrity by default. A country that has its citizens eating to live on one commodity only and refusing to work for a living. An economy that runs on the vehicle of 'allocation' driven by rent seekers. In what way does Nigeria resemble China because a baby elephant will have tusks and a baby giraffe will have a long neck. What way abeg. Even when they come to Nigeria to set up shop are we not apt to condemn their work ethic as 'slavery'. Nna abeg say something else. We have serious ingrained corruption because there is free money everywhere waiting to be taken, money not worked for. They shoot their corrupt because it is sweat money. We can't shoot ours because it is a gift, dash money and who cares about what he doesn't have anyway. Change the game not the players. It is our system of nationhood that needs execution.

Can't see the fun in this very sad, sad chapter in our history

Benbelor:
Honestly for this shiite matter na fence me just park o,I don't know if the shiites did attempted assasination or if buratais boys are just trying to justify their actions...so na em I just dey watch closely from my 4D o

If not for religion,this is how men are suppose to be

When the term 'assasination' is used one will think of a well planned, premeditated act. Are we assuming the sect leader knew the COAS will be passing that location at that time. To me it all looks like the normal religion versus state c.ock fight gone bad. The convoy ran into the procession, they refused to give way and it turned nasty.

Does it warrant the carnage even if the cleric is a well known anti establishment figure.

abimic:
I beg to disagree, the reason we haven't won the boko haram battle is because many are benefitting from it and the military had being compromised. There are moles in the military.

That's why you don't start conflicts you cannot handle. If you have moles holes then why carry petrol near firf.

Ayiose:
These CAN agents do not represent d Christians in Katsina not to talk of Nigeria. What do u expect when some religious miscreants go to block d way of Soldiers to prevent them from going to their own military facility. Mind u these are not boy scouts but soldiers! Nobody deserves human rights anything when he is not ready to protect d rights of others. ...a misguided, self-seeking arm of CAN.

They are soldiers so what. Must they use deadly force to disperse a mob. Warning shots, tear gas, horse whips, the options are plenty. Think man. Don't excuse wrong. It comes back to bite.

AustineE1:
Is nt a question of whether what they did was right or wrong,Nigerians should not be killed in an extrajudicial manner,there are other ways of handling such civil disobidience. The killings are highly condemnable!

Exactly. If the Boko Haram leader was not killed indiscriminately perhaps we would have saved the trillions of naira and thousands of lives lost to that senseless war. Why should the ego of these uniformed men continue to put the nation at risk when their capacity to handle the outcome is in grave doubt.

Inconsequential people with nothing to offer except buying patronage here and there. The earlier they are all ejected the better for the party polity.
