Why wont we?

Like it's a biggie?

peedeeasobie:
Pls sir, who are the northern Elites that never wanted PMB's presidency?

I for one really doubt whether most people read this post at all!

The only allegations the DSS has come up with against Dasuki are: the vehicles found, the guns and the military guards in his compound!

The "revelations" are from a source saying that certain people are telling Dasuki not to go to court so as not to making damning revelations against them! And these people include people who are loyal to this government!

I have to say at the point that not all state security informations are for public consumption. People who are in Intelligence will tell you the same thing!

There are certain revelations that can rock the stability of this nation and as such not many people are privy to such information!

baralatie:
do you know Jega is also involved!

barcanista:
Bro see this..


Asked to disclose such persons, he said, “I cannot mention names but they include Generals, Emirs, politicians, as well as loyalists of the current administration."

1stCitizen:
While Jonathan was at the helm of affairs he was a curse no doubt.....what I cannot understand is how he transferred the same curse to his supporters.

Just 1? 1 Igbo guy?

Buhari systematically cleansing the system of the accumulated rot of 16 years. It is gonna be a hard battle but I believe the president will succeed in the end.

Here's a man, a President, taking proactive steps to curb wanton stealing of our common patrimony instead of lifting his hands up resignation, blaming refineries abroad for oil theft like someone did in an interview with Amanpour.

May God bless and strengthen you Mr President (GCFR).

Even the Rain alone shows that this journey to USA is going to be a fruitless one 'what good deal comes from USA

baralatie:
And they laid siege on his house because of G wagon!
Thus is a clear abuse of a citizen right and abuse of power!

So if I am a Lamborghini and Ferrari collector it means DSS will get a search warrant from a magistrate court and you say you want to fight corruption.

osimataylor:
The issue is that the figure published is just for the official delegates. How about their aides,P A's and details.You multiply the figure by 4 and you get a picture of the delegatioin to USA.The cost on taxe payers money will run into billion of naira.

osimataylor:
This is one of their propaganda handle.They know the issue that will be raised so they immedietly put up a defence and ensure that they get FTC position.We know their style and strategy.But there is an end to every thing.Lies and propaganda cannot stand the test of time.

So it was just mere hatred for oga Jonah since ;DD


Oga Jonah it's official you were hated all round the globe just go and rest cos your enemies would have committed suicide if you had won a second term!

Firefire:
Thank God.

The action of the past administration in this matter is purely against the Anti-Money Laundering / combating the financing of terrorism regulations of CBN. AML/CFT REGULATION (2009).

How would an organized and sovereign nation stack money in suitcases?

“President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration was forced to resort to the alternative market to obtain arms when western powers blocked every access to the formal arms market but the cash were seized both at the airport and in the bank”.

I understand the predicament of the then government in procuring arms, this does not warrant this approach of moving ‘raw-cash’ across countries.

We must learn from this and move forward as a nation.

Shalom!

ApexTitan:
The impression one is getting from all this is that visiting the US alone is some kind of achievement.

ARKdiscloser7:
No Igbo name?
Out of 33 citizens of a country they make us believe we are one?

It is obvious and loud as that, that Buhari's govt is a clear war against the Igbos as earlier feared.

Why wont they allow the Igbos to leave then? Why!

Now I want to see the TANoids wail in their usual wailing character
Now, the north will not come out and shout victimization but if a certain Ihejirika is invited for questioning, we all know we need to order container-load of handkerchiefs for many wailers.

Like the police will say in their usual "respectful" manner. Oga Dansuki does not have to worry about anything. All he need do is just follow them to their office and explain - that's all

Mogidi:
Help with this one bros, when did your type start believing polls conducted by NOI?

P:S
NOI is in no way related to Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.

Dollyak:
Sadly I believe the polls. This is not because it's a true reflection of his performance. To be fair, if you observe most government all over the world, you will discover they tends to have a very high polls scoring rate the first few months into their administration. This is called a honey moon period for a reason.
Any judgement of buhari's leadership this early, will always be off the mark (good or bad). Let's wait a while before cutting his throat.

dearpreye:
There are two Nigerias as we speak. The APC's virtual one and the real one people like me live in.

I'm happy nations are never built by good intentions. Even the way to hell is paved with good iintentions.

No amount of propaganda and lies shall deceive the smart ones. To be deceived is now a choice.

Over 660 souls have been murdered by the misguided brothers of Grandpa.

I've been enjoying appreciable level of power even before the elections. Bro, that rating na fraud.

For every lie, there shall be the revealer of it.

Thanks bro.

They bought brand new trains does it mean they should throw away the old 1's

is it too early for him to give us or it is not part of his plans .. He needs to build on from where the previous government stopped and not leave these infrastructures to decay so they can say the previous government did nothing

eph12:
Bros no be quarrel. Nobody is asking Buhari to carry paint and paint anything. There are railway workers. It's their job to see to the maintenance of these things. They have a head. It's that one job to oversee these workers. The head reports to the government. Or is that not how things work? You guys should focus on making the best out of the little we have so we can have much to smile about in one or more years to come. Focus on the present and leave history. If there are cases of corruption make some arrest and then prosecute instead of all these noise.

carzola:
since buhari took over darkness has covered our country... the only thing that makes news its killings accidents, workers unpaid, strike, no fuel... etc.... may the light of God shine in my family since i no vote buhari... IJN

eph12:
Is that why they're being allowed to rot? I agree they're shitty but a one eyed man will be King in a country full of blind people. Can't we allow them function properly pending when Buhari builds the world class ones we are yearning for?

i was just telling an APChit this last night! Great minds think a lot......

You're not getting out easy.

Give us proof that Jonathan orders were not for ALL political office holders because that is what Guardian Newspaper reported.

http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/03/austerity-30-per-cent-pay-slash-for-jonathan-ministers-others/

While you're at that, comprehend this report.

Vanguard reports that in the last three years President Goodluck Jonathan has pocketed N43.231 million as salary while he had in the last three years, paid N6.264 million as
tax to the country.
The years which the president earned the salary and paid the tax, according to document from the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, he released to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, were 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Vanguard also made it known that the document which was placed at the INEC office at Area 10, Abuja, showed that the president, in 2011, 2012 and 2013,
received the said amount.
The document showed that the president’s salary stands at N14,410,290.48 per annum. The president also paid a total of N6,264,221.75 as tax in the years under review.
The income tax clearance certificate from the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Abuja, with Ref. No: ABJ/MDA/PAYE/09690150 and dated July 2, 2014, revealed that in the
years 2011, 2012 and 2013, he received a total of N43,230,871.44 as salary.
While he paid N1,242,670.21 as tax in 2011, President Jonathan paid N2,510,775.77 for 2012 and for 2013.
The document tagged:“To whom it may concern”, indicated that the president’s source of income was “employment”.
The clearance which was stamped and received in the Legal Services Department of INEC on December 18 2014 reads:

This is to certify that Dr. Jonathan, Ebele Goodluck (Presidency) has paid income tax assessment for the past three years.
The details of the president’s tax payment also showed that the president did not earn any other income besides his fixed income as president of the country in that period.
There were no indications of income from stocks or other businesses that the president could have had.

That figure has been the same since 2009 and was never reduced. Period.

barcanista:
“I write to forward the completed IPPIS registration form of Mr. President and to draw your kind attention to Mr. President's directive that only 50% of his salary be paid to him.”

That was an excerpt of the letter written to the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation by the State House Permanent Secretary on behalf of President Buhari as published by a section of the mainstream press.
It is funny however that supporters and career praise-singers of the Buhari administration are overblowing the action of the president out of proportion(while some mock Jonathan) in their bid to score cheap political point. It is good we set the record straight and to remind Nigerians the deed of the immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan.

January 2012
Jonathan was indeed the most sacrificial President of Nigeria and pacesetter. On the 7th Day of January 2012 (at the height of the subsidy agitation), Dr Ebele Jonathan announced 25% cut of his salary and those of all Federal Executive office holders including the VP, Ministers, D-Gs of Agencies and departments, federal Permanent Secretaries, SAs, SSAs etc.
The implementation of his noble act was made known 10 days later by the then Minister of State for Finance.

16 March 2015:
Despite the 2012 25% salary cut for President Jonathan and his appointees, it was reported on March 16 that exPresident Jonathan further directed that salaries of all federal executive office holders be further slashed by 30% (including his) as part of his government austerity measure. According to the D-G Budget office Dr Bright Okogu, (in His words):
“Political office holders’ salaries are being cut by between 20-30 per cent, ranging from permanent secretaries, directors’ general and so on all the way to ministers. This, however, does not amount to very much, but the purpose is to show the commitment of this administration that if they want to make adjustment, they want to do it and
lead by(example)."
www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/03/austerity-30-per-cent-pay-slash-for-jonathan-ministers-others:

All these were done without media hype and buzz flying around it. In fact, the exPresident was more concerned about making sacrifice than scoring political point nor playing to the emotions of Nigerians.

We appreciate President Buhari and VP Osinbajo for following the noble step of Dr Ebele Jonathan and Arc Namadi Sambo respectively. However, it is also good to remind them that today, July 12, 2015 makes it "Day 42" of their Presidency and they are yet to publicly declare their assets in line with their February electoral pledge. The image of this government will continuously be in the the decline as long as they continue to delay or fail to fulfil their pledge by publicly declaring their assets. If they assume that this paycut will make Nigerians to forget about the pledge they make then they need to face reality.

Shut up your mouth. Tell Buhari to get Amaechi arrested by the EFCC.
