How could nigerians have voted in a terminally sick man in the first?From the day he became a presi-thief,he's been a burden to the nation,wasting already down trodden tax payers money to resuscitate him dying sel.

That man being the president of nigeria shows how sick nigeria is as a nation

Why did nigerians accept him?Why should an illegitimate government be legitimate if the people are not sick?

Since you have no facts then there is no point bringing up the issue here in the first place. We all don't want to here about your conspiracy theories.

300k barrels sold way below market value will be sold to these refiners at the same price

Let leave generator importers out of this because we cant blame private security outfits for security problems in Nigeria or folks who make "pure" water for inadequate supply of "safe" drinking water.

Bankole is lying

the pattern is well known, people like him are only trying to incite the people of the niger delta against their leaders. They will call the Niger delta leaders corrupt so that the people will not ask for more derivation money. are govs in other parts of Nigeria better than the Niger delta govs?
Why is the corruption focus on the ND govs.

The provisional census figures as at 2006 puts the population of Nigeria at 140 million, while the Nine ND states at 31 million, where did Bankole manufacture 17million from as the population of the Niger delta.

At a population of 31million, 22% of Nigerians live in the Niger Delta, giving 13% of the revenue to 22% of the population is not doing the people a favour, there is 87% of the revenue left to be shared by the remaining 78% of Nigerians.

During obasanjos tenure, revenue allocation to he states was well publicised, at no time during those years was the allocation to any Niger delta state higher than an entire region of 6 states. the revenue allocation formula has not changed in favour of the Niger delta states since obasanjos tenure. Bankole is manufacturing these lies to justify denying federal expenditure in the niger delta.

The problems in the Delta are not manly problems to be solved by the state govts, they are problems to be solved by the federal problem.
Nigeria constitution vest ownership and maintenance of Trunk A roads on the federal govt. Roads like the East- West road, like the benin Lagos road, like the PH - Owerri road, like the Aba -Ikot ekpene road, all these roads are federal roads in the Niger delta and they are all very bad.
It is criminal for Bankole to push the blame for these bad infracstructures on the Niger delta govs.

Provision of Electricity is vested on the very Government, thats why even states gov have to obtain permission from the federal govt before they can build independent power plants. For Bankole to turn around and blame the niger delta state govts for lack of electricity is condemnable.

Provision of security is vested on the federal govt. No state gov in nigeria can even sack a thiefing policeman.
For bankole to turn around and accuse the Niger delta govs of not providing security to Niger delta citizens when it is a federal responsibility is sheer madness.

in the Arewa areas of Nigeria, the federal govt build water projects with federal funds, I am yet to see a federal water project in the Niger delta. All water projects in the ND are built either by companies or the state govt.

Federal medical centres are alien to the people of the Niger delta, Federal medical centres are only dot the north.

People like bankole will not tell you the truth that after derivation is paid to the ND states very little is done by the fderal govt in the ND.
Federal roads have to be built by the Niger delta govs, example is the Warri Omadino road + Bridge, the Bomadi road + bridge, the Ahoada Omoku road, the yenegoa road. Bankole will not tell you that these federal projects were done by the state govts. because they want to simply call the Niger delta leaders crooks at all cost. even when all nigerian politicians are crooks.

Delta state govt had to build NTA stations in delta state because the federal govt will not build it, even children know that building NTA stations should be a federal venture.

Nigeria’s budget for this year was around N3trillion. However, by the time you add the budget of the Niger Delta states alone, it is over N1.5trillion. There are may be over 140 to 150milion people in Nigeria. Niger Delta as about 17million; the remaining 130million is outside the Niger Delta.

Please tell me in any of my statements how I have condoned corruption or justified looting.

I have said that that the only way to deter looters is to prosecute them.

Hypothetically, if Obasanjo uses part of that $16b to build all the roads in Nigeria, I would still call him a criminal and a thief, that he should rot in jail, but I would not deny the benefits of those newly constructed roads to the country just because it was constructed with stolen funds.

the first shocker was when Obama shunned Nigeria in his first visit to Africa and rather, chose to make uncomplimentary remarks about the country while in Ghana.

Analysts say Mr. Imohe may simply have been expended to help Yar'Adua save face, as it is most unlikely he would have caused such a directive to be given in the name of the highest level, without authorization.

A suicide bomber enters a restaurant filled with people. But before blowing up everybody he asks the old people in the restaurant to leave then subsequently blows up himself and everyboldy else left in the restaurant. Kudos must be given to him for allowing the aged people in the restaurant leave/live, it shows he has respect. If there were more suicide bombers like that in the world, it will definitetly be a better place. sameway, if there were more looters like obj then Nigeria would be a better place. Grin

Using economics to justify corruption. I just dont get it

@ Bidemi12
You know what, if there were suicide bombers like the ones who spared the older people, the world will be a better place than if there exists only suicide bombers who killed every one and spared no one, and of course the world will be a much better place if there were no suicide bombers at all. After all, some lives were still spared, and the lesser of two evils is better than the greater of the two evils, but of course we wish for no evil at all. Simple logic and reality, absent judgment clouded by emotion.

They shall not succeed in brainwashing us.

The above statement is quite pathetic.

He stole the money that wld have used to take Nigeria to uninterrupted power supply, gounded our economy and now use the same money to enslave u in his farm and u say its commendable.

Let me tell u, if the money had been used to develop basic infrastructures in this country, u wld not need him to employ u in his farm. He is still a glorified baboon.

I cannot believe what i am hearing from you guys . if the gy was such a dullard, why doe she have the record of the most appointed Super Eagles coach in Nigeria's history 5 times now more than any coach in Nigeria. haba, teh guy has had experience to know what he is doing .

Rell 2 I think u're are d half baked graduate (that is if you've actually graduated).

Big lie, ASUU has no power to order universities to resume. That is the jurisdiction of the university senate and most of them are of the opinion that 2 weeks ceasefire is too short to start asking students to travel up and down.

He's just not that into you

Abi, thank God i was not born in October. Catastrophic month

If a big bank has a problem and you don't take it out of the market, it would bring down other banks because the big bank, even if it is weak, is able to take market share from a small bank. What would happen is that the big bank would force a number of second- tier, first-tier banks into crisis because they have the clout to take away their market.
