 Politics / Can A Southerner Win 2007 Presidential Election by shutmouth(m): 9:49pm On Feb 21, 2007 |
The north currently has a problem. As Buhari, and Yar' Adua will contest (on different political platforms) in the 2007 presidential elections, the likelihood of the north winning is negligible. The strength of the north would have lied in the collapse of their ambitions into a single ambition with a representation in one of them. The possibility is interesting as it is remote. With this in mind, the South can pull through if the parties in the south can combine forces to back the a single candidate like Pat Utomi. |

EFCC made the following report on Atiku after interrogating many people: That this investigation was initiated at the instance of a request from the United States Department of Justice. That the request was sequel to an investigation carried out by the U S authorities which involved certain Government officials, institutions and Private individuals in both U S and Nigeria. That among those directly affected by the investigation in Nigeria is the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the person of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. That two state Executive Governors in the persons of their Excellencies Chief Victor Attah and Alhaji Ibrahim Saminu Turaki, the Governors of Akwa Ibom and Jigawa States, respectively were also mentioned in the request. That in the investigation so far carried out, no wrong doing could be traced to them unlike the case of the Vice President who has been found to have mismanaged the PTDF funds and abused his office. That the use of the PTDF funds to promote businesses is instrumental to the large scale mismanagement, misappropriation and abuse of office as highlighted in this report. That Otunba Mike Adenuga who was earlier arrested, interrogated and granted bail failed to turn up when he was invited for further interview as he was said to have absconded. That the investigation is still on going and may lead to more individuals being prosecuted. PRAYERS The Government is hereby requested to approve the following: That PTDF should be removed from the supervision of the office of the Vice President. That the Commission should recover all Public funds embezzled from individuals and institutions involved in this case. That the erstwhile Executive Secretary of the PTDF, Yusuf Hamisu Abubakar, Otunba Fasawe and all those who aided or facilitated in the embezzlement and mismanagement of the funds should be prosecuted. That the corporate entity of Globacom will be protected and preserved, while legal processes will be taken to recover all shares acquired fraudulently or with public funds. |

What precedence and kind of government are you planning on having if a sitting vice This does not happen anywhere in the world. We are meant to understand that Atiku has a different constitution from us. |
| Politics / Is Atiku Abubakar Corrupt? by shutmouth(m): 8:42pm On Feb 21, 2007 |
Atiku's Indictment On September 18, 2006, Atiku was indicted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which alleged that he had embezzeled N 71,123,250,000 in campaign funds and made various bribes. A leading daily newspaper in Nigeria): PTDF: Forensic Investigation Indicts Atiku Contrary to Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s claim that his indictment by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Federal Government Administrative Panel of Inquiry is a premeditated political action intended to halt his presidential ambition, the report of a forensic investigation into the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) has said that he is culpable for the mismanagement of the fund. The Report of the Special Audit/Forensic Investigation of Petroleum Technology Devel-opment Fund (PTDF) From 1999 to May 31, 2006, it submitted that the Vice President’s approval for the release of $20m from the treasury and subsequent placement in Trans International Bank without appropriation and approval by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) was improper and amounted to abuse of office.

I won't rest until Atiku is wiped off Nigerian politics. What has he done for Nigeria as VP than corruption and reckless use of the laws. Say whatever you like don't give a sh***t |
| Politics / Re: Atiku Has Left Nigeria For UK by shutmouth(m): 2:24pm On Feb 21, 2007 |
Do you think PDP really has what it takes to rig this election? Do you ever ask yourself, what really makes this man(Atiku) think he can win the elections, even with all the legal hurdles set on his way to Aso rock? OK, I am done with this topic on Atiku. I will leave it to other non-Atiku fans to deal with when they come online. Bye for now!!! |

ugodaniel, We are in a democratic society man You created a thread solely to wage a war on 2 innocent members and to make a point. This forum is not yours (or is it?). It goes to show why you're constantly insulting a lady and preventing her from exercising her right of Freedom of Expression. Learn, and close this thread. It's offensive!!! |

I have only one word for you! LOSER!!! This is a lady? Is she not entitled to air her views where member are predominantly men. Are we in the year 1789? Please, respect and let her state her opinions. If I was the moderator of this forum, I will ban you for insulting a lady. It seems some people are jobless, frustrated and aggressive. Why don't you take it on Atiku & CO instead of on a poor girl who is just here to contribute to issues about her country. |
| Politics / Re: Atiku: The Battle Ahead by shutmouth(m): 1:44pm On Feb 21, 2007 |
i am only here to address the negative vituperations you are always casting on Atiku and having da guts to say that our judiciary is corrupt just because Atiku has been winning all his court cases! NO COMMENTS!!! EHHHHMMMMM, Who is Atiku by the way? |
| Politics / Re: Atiku: The Battle Ahead by shutmouth(m): 1:37pm On Feb 21, 2007 |
I hope you know what is meant by anarchy, when a government disregards rule of law, disobey court orders and lawless then anarchy is imminent. You've seen nothing yet. Very soon you will see bombs in the parliament and that is anarchy. Ask India they will tell you. It's just democracy in action. Remember, you have a borrowed political system and Nigeria is just an infant learning to walk with regards to democracy. Even the advance countries have not yet perfected the system and are still teaching the world how democracy works. The Nigerian courts, parliament, govt institutions and legal bodies are still confused as to how democracy works. For example, as per today, Atiku and all the other indicted candidates are disqualified by INEC for not meeting the deadline AND yet, nobody including the press knows where the issue stands. Ask BBC or VOA or US/British Embassy, they will tell you Atiku is finished Confusing, isn't it. In a military system, you will know today that Atiku is finished but in a democratic system, you expect the court to come to his rescue if the constitution allows it. Democracy throws up the unknown and confuses us the more. More like magic, the more you see, the less you understand. |

All these leads to anarchy and chaos. OBJ will surely pay dearly NO ANARCHY my friend, It's D-E-M-O-C-R-A-C-Y Nigeria is just amateur in the game |

ugodaniel , Is it not in the Nigerian constitution that you must not stalk. You are stalking ladyT and I and we will get Ribadu on your heels. Or better still, we will forward your name to OBJ to include in the Gazette. Jokes apart, this stalking is more than the punishment Atiku has suffered so far. Do ladyT and I have to go to court to get you off our neck? |

Following the inability of the British Parliament to intervene directly in the lingering political feud between President Olusegun Obasanjo and Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the British Government has referred the issue to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London which according to the British Government has the responsibility to intervene in such matters affecting former British colonies.

| Politics / Most Candidates May Have Submitted Falsified Tax Declaration by shutmouth(m): 1:49am On Feb 21, 2007 |
Nigeria Tax Declaration Laws: What is the punishment for not filing the declaration? None What is the penalty for making inaccurate statements on this declaration? Any property or assets acquired by a public officer which is not fairly attributable to income, gift, or loan approved by the Code shall be deemed to have been acquired in breach of this Code unless the contrary is proved. Can an official be prosecuted for violating this law? The fifth schedule contains many elements of public officers' code of conduct of which assets disclosure is only one. According to Section 12, any allegation that a public officer has committed a breach of or has not complied with the provisions of this Code shall be made to the Code of Conduct Bureau. ----------------------------- Constitutional Requirement for Candidates seeking election Under Section 85 (4) (s) of the Personal Income Tax Act, Cap p8 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, LFN 2004, all candidates, in all political parties, seeking election into public offices, are required to present current Tax Clearance Certificates (TCCs) showing that they have paid their Personal Income Tax as and when due. "It is in this light that the Joint Tax Board (JTB) calls on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to furnish the Board with details and copies of the Tax Clearance Certificates of all candidates, in all political parties, who have filed papers with INEC, to seek elective offices in the April general elections," the board said. ---------------------------- Newspaper reports indicate that most (if not all) the political candidates have submitted falsified tax declaration documents. Such is the magnitude of the case that INEC and FG are even objecting to the idea of screening due to the sensitivity of the exercise at this last hour. Funny enough, INEC boss joked that he does not even have a personal tax declaration. The world will be shocked if JTB have their way. And JTB have given no sign of relenting on their demand. |
| Politics / Re: 12.00 GMT - INEC Deadline Has Finally Passed by shutmouth(m): 1:27am On Feb 21, 2007 |
Spectacle with a difference!!! Never in history has the JTB verified the tax declaration documents submitted by the politicians. I understand that most (if not all) has submitted falsified tax declaration documents. Such is the magnitude of the case that INEC and FG are even objecting to the idea. Funny enough, INEC boss says he does not even have personal tax declaration. The world will be shocked if JTB have their way. And JTB have given no sign of relenting on their demand. Who says that only EFCC is capable of hunting down corrupt politicians. JTB want to show us it has what it takes to do it, even better. |

Does anyone know if Atiku replaced his running mate by the deadline? I read that Pat Utomi and Senator Obi were in the mix. The Atiku's fans here have been so busy praising their man and cursing OBJ that they forgot to pay attention to the INEC deadline. Call it Sodom and Gomorrah style of nightmare. They have nobody to blame for not reading the news via Internet. INEC boss gave the warning repeatedly. |

I wonder why Obasanjo is fighting Atiku,the President should be tired of fighting his VP Don't you know that when leaders are old, sick and about to die, they create wars. Look at Napolion (Cancer in the stomach), Hitler (Cancer in the ear), Bush (Cancer on the face). Historians help me here!!! I suspect OBJ is sick. What else can drive him to this useless warfare with Atiku. |

LadyT, you know what, since the busy-body hawks are stalking us, let us give them a run for their money. I am sure they won't be able to keep up with our flight.  My prediction is that a prominent Lady will rise to rule Nigeria within the next 10-15 years (or less). The men have failed us since Independence. |

lewa, don't waste your time with these analysis. Leave all that stuff to history writers for our future generations to read in school's textbooks. We have an election coming and that should be our main focus. OBJ and Atiku must be passed on to history because that is where they belong. We are in 2007 and not in 1708, remember!!! |
| Politics / Re: Breaking News:::Atiku Defeats Obasanjo At Appeal Court! by shutmouth(m): 11:34pm On Feb 20, 2007 |
, therefore he is not even contesting, glad to know that. Technically, Legally and Constitutionally, YES. Unless the disqualified candidates can obtain a court order to amend the constitution within the next 25 minutes. Unfortunately only the parliament can amend the constitution. |
| Politics / Re: Breaking News:::Atiku Defeats Obasanjo At Appeal Court! by shutmouth(m): 11:26pm On Feb 20, 2007 |
What matters now is what happens if Atiku looses at the polls? What Polls? The political parties have until 12 midnight today to replace all disqualified candidates. As far as I know, INEC's deadline cannot be changed. |

Thanks Iyke-D, Atiku has won many court cases which are unrelated to corruption indictment (my main interest not politics), and we accept the verdict as it is legal and constitutional. No questions!!! Why can't Atiku and his followers just accept the part of the Constitution that disqualifies him and seek redress at the court to determine his qualification or resign and relinquish his immunity to face prosecution for public trust. Accepting some part of the Constitution to push his political agenda and trash his enemies (I support) and rejecting some part of the Constitution which his enemies (as he claims) use against him in a corruption indictment is an inconsistency I find difficult to understand. I like Atiku for his ability to maneuver the laws but I hate him because he acts like a coward. When you are caught in a web of lie, don't try to hide because the truth will come back to hunt you. Atiku knows that Ribadu has some concrete evidence and he simply wants to continue a fight using his immunity status to buy time. How long? |
| Politics / Re: The Real Difference Between ICPC And EFCC? by shutmouth(m): 10:34pm On Feb 20, 2007 |
How many politicians has the EFCC moved against until recently? It's funny because when the EFCC was roundhouse kicking yahoo boys, fraudulent bank chiefs, western union fraudsters etc people were making noise asking them to go after big fish (Politicians). Thanks, Mariory. You hit the nail on the head. |
| Politics / Re: Atiku Has Left Nigeria For UK by shutmouth(m): 8:23pm On Feb 20, 2007 |
If you seriously think Ribadu is just and fair, why all da discrepancies in da indictment of politians You know what, Nigeria Politics is stinky, decayed and out of order so to be frank there is little I can write about Nigerian politics and politicians. My focus is on war against corruption, EFCC and Ribadu. God bless him. EFCC's work is not easy and Ribadu is working in an extreme dangerous territory. Can you imagine the risk to his life. He must thread carefully and trust me his work is not made easy by the politicians. Those you refer to are not on the list because there are no substantial evidence to indict them and many are under immunity from prosecution. The EFCC does not rely on gossips but on actual facts and these information are from members of the public. If you have hard documented evidence against these people, please forward it to the EFCC. I can assure you that the EFCC is probably as we write investigating fresh reports submitted by the public on those you have listed. |
