This govt and thick skin for embarrassment. The other day Prof Alele William rejected MON because had been given before. The number of awardee that showed up were even more the the award instrument brought to the venue. Fuel subsidy probe: CBN, NNPC,Finance and Petroleum Ministers, and PPRA presented conflicting figures of fuel importation and subsidiary Who keeps record for Nigeria.

That is Nike, owner of Nike Gallery Lekki, Lagos, a very successful African woman, very beautiful in the heart, she has empowered a lot of ordinary women especially in the work of traditional cloth tying and dying, a k a Adire of Kampala. This is good one.

52killed,scores are in custody yet GEJ calls them ghost and faceless, how did they identify those being killed and arrested ? who is deceiving who.

“For 2013, the SURE-P programme has a projected allocation of N180 billion, augmented by the 2012 unspent balances of N93.5 billion.

how can you have unspent balance when GEJ approached NASS for N160b supplementary fund in Dec, 2012 to be able to fulfill the same subsidy. This financial accountants na wa.

People should get educated and forget sentiments, even English has many words borrowed from other languages such as German, French , Spanish etc. Things that are not original to a location they don't have names for them, they have to improvise. What is Yoruba for Television, Radio etc. What is English for o yi mu simi., E ku ile etc.

Even the word Yoruba is said to be from Yaro Uba (children of certain Uba from Hausa description.)

Maina Alleges N60b Pension Fund Fraud

Maina-Abdulrasheed

FORMER Chairman of the defunct Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), Abdulrasheed Maina, has alleged that officers from the Office of the Head of Service misappropriated N60b pension funds on yearly basis before the inauguration of his task force in June 2010.

Maina, in a 44-page petition, alleged that none of the “criminals” is facing prosecution; they are rather protected and treated “tender-heartedly”.

The petition was partly addressed to the Senate President, David Mark, in reaction to the senate committee report, which indicted him (Maina) of fraud, and recommended the disbandment of the Pension Reform Task Team.

Maina said that some of the cash and property, allegedly obtained by corrupt officers through the Pension Funds from the Head of Service, have been seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

“The EFCC, for example, has investigated and charged to court about 40 persons and companies for the role they played in siphoning pension funds. Besides, the agency has helped to recover nearly N50b in cash and assets stolen by corrupt civil servants,” Maina said.

On his failure or refusal to appear before the Senate, the embattled Maina, who is currently on the wanted list of the Police, said he had earlier appeared before the Senate Committee on March 9, 2012, where he was drilled for 12 hours (9am to 9pm). He added that he was treated with hostility during the session.

While accusing the Committee of protecting pension thieves, Maina said it curiously has a good rapport with the same persons the Task Team exposed as having stolen billions of naira from the Pension Funds.

“Apart from hosting one of them in his office, the Committee Chairman queried Professor Afolabi, the Head of Service, for suspending one of the Pension thieves when the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) started investigating him.”

In a 31-point defence, addressed to the Senate President, Maina refuted all allegations leveled against him in the Senate report. He denied having 39 policemen attached to him. He also denied misappropriation of funds, saying that neither he nor the Task Force had access to funds.

He said that for the number of years the Task Team operated, no budget was appropriated to it and that all payments for operations were approved by the Head of Service.

peleson: When did fashola win the best performing governor?
Akpabio always do, he is the governor other governors is talking about nor was tinubu ever did better than Donald Duke? Hence he is ur champion! Shame

am not sure brf is contesting with anyone, we all know how awards are given around here, in nigeria. where are the best bankers, banks of the year of soludo era. how many governors can tell labaran maku and his 120-man gangs of good governace crap to stay away from their states.

in comparision of sw towns and se/ss towns, if its now that akwa ibom is having new roads and interior sw have old ones, it just shows one has been civilized before the other. Ogun odun ti aja ti nse ile, oko ni obo wa. Dogs has been in a domestic animal years while monkey was still in the wild.

oddy4real: Mongloid, have you ever been to Akwa-Ibom State? If you have, you wouldn't be comparing Lagos to Akwa-Ibom, I dare say that it has the BEST road Network and aesthetics in Nigeria after the FCT.
And before the Yoruba and A.C.N goons here attack me, I am Yoruba too but not a deluded one. I have been opportuned to travel around the Country and I make bold to opine that The South West is the most backward. Go to the Eastern states and see how good their roads are. The problem with the South West is that we are toooooo egoistic and proud. Too arrogant too.

lol, including the road from Uyo to Eket? I remember that PENGASSAN Akwa Ibom was on the verge of strike last year becuase of the poor condition of the road and the road is yet to be fixed oo.

A very nice move, but it would have been better if he donated the sum of money at Kano with well publicized Hausa program possibly in gathering of Emirs and Clerics to counter the misinformation against polio vaccine in that area.

^^^^i am with you ooooo

Obiagu1: This is a battle to save Nigeria from Islamization by the newly formed Islamic group APC.
I'll support both governors if they move to PDP or form alliance with PDP.

What is all this Islamization crap, even under Military regime of Buhari / Idiagbon with so many Muslim generals did anyone forced anyone to practice anything? Abegiii, say something else jare you can vote for who you want, let majority carry the vote.

They are all originally PinDiPi

RIP the last Village Headmaster.

Shinatu: Died at 47? this is sad. but I know people who are not in the medical field and are living with diabetes with no serious issues, they just take their injections and watch what they eat, well maybe science of how to manage diabetes was not fully known then. 47? haba, just imagining how many more lives he would have imparted with even 10 more years.

1974, medicine still developing then, at that time too, many kids die of common illness and they call them abiku or ogbanje

No school will force my kids into celebrating any frivolities.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]Is the fasting and prayer really going to stop them from dying ? You guys seem to believe in stuffs that can't happen.
Death is a constant phenomenon and it has nothing to do with sin ![/quote]Tell them oo, Once you have life death is on the agenda. You can't come out of life alive. Prepare for death anytime.

dvdon: Hee *o ge me gi vum vum na anya* which celebrity is next?

Remember MFM daniel olukoya's prophesy this year I quote "we shall record death of a lot of celibrities this year unless they embrace God".

RIP lugard

death is not a prediction, people die. celebrities are not different from other people, many are dying daily. with kind of condition that exists in Nigeria, if the celebrities have the same kind of life standard as masses, which they do, they will have the same chance of survival like everyone.

RIP Lugard.

All professional mourners, please check what you wrote about her when alive on the following link first https://www.nairaland.com/961427/goldie-without-makeup-bba-stargame#11081349


May her soul rest in peace, now she's gone, all those who assassinated her for her acts on bba can rest now.

dumjoshua: well ,i know that keshi voluntarily applied 4 the job,4 him to resign now is an indication that there is something wrong.i want the president to investigate the matter

Yes ooo, we need to set up a committee for this, boys much chop

manosteel: One thing we need to know is that NFF is Keshi's employer, they sacked one and hired him because they believed that he has what it takes to bring results. When the results are not coming, they have the right to query his strategies and to review his contract just like any other employer will do.

I don't support what Keshi did o but do this all powerful NFF that you paint up there, do they do the same to foreign coaches? I cannot remember NFF sacking any foreign coach they all resign or even walk away on us

Maybe time has changed now, there was PPA in 1983 yet Awo , Zik et al could not match rigging machine of NPN. So ACN CPC APGA ANPP can merge if PDP remains merged to INEC no shaking for the PinDiPi

Come think of it, this is the same team yeye NFF don buy return tickets for before the Ivory Coast match. Good job boys.

opribo: ....and that pastor Tunde Bakare is supporting him

Because he read the tweet and knows that el-rufai just re tweeted a comment made by someone else, a Christian, el-rufai was not the author of the offending tweet.
