edupedia:Admitted they got which money? Money from security vote? Is that a crime? |
I have been following the so called Dasukigate and I am amazed how easy it is for a government to use the media to deceive and distract the ignorant masses. History has shown that propaganda remains the biggest tool of any government that intends to enslave a people. Unfortnately, even the current opposition has been quite incompetent in putting the records straight For the records, there is nothing like a $2.1B arms money. It was a propaganda masterstroke well concotted by the DSS and EFCC to distract everyone from the incompetence of the Buhari administration. That is why former president Goodluck Jonathan has come out twice now to put the records staright that he never approved any $2.1B arms money. But it seems the ignorant masses still dont get it. So where did the "$2.1B arms money" headline originate from? $2.1B was the monies that was allocated to the office of the NSA throughout Dasuki's tenure as NSA. These monies come under SECURITY VOTE. It was not money allocated to the purchase of weapons as the DSS and the EFCC have claimed. That is why they cant take Dasuki to court. They will lose woefully. Security vote is not money allocated for arms purchase. Of the whole monies that make up the $2.1B, only the $300 million from the returned Abacha loot was actually recommended for the purchase of arms. That is why in court, the charges brought against Dasuki was in that range. But they are likely going to lose in court for that because weapons were actually purchased. Whether they are worth $300 million is what the EFCC will have to prove in court. But from the way they have been refusing to follow the court process, one is safe to assume that they dont trust their own case against Dasuki. But why did they go with the headlines of "$2.1 Billion arms purchase money" when they knew it was not the case? Because the whole anti coruption fight was only a propaganda stunt from the beginning. It was a well crafted stunt to distract the masses and persecute any dissenting voice so Buhari can fully consolidate power. Does that mean I think many of the politicians mentioned in the scandal are clean? By no means! Nigerian politicians are corrupt without a doubt including the presidency and everyone in the rulling APC party. The president's campaign itself was sponsored from corruption. The Amaechi corruption scandals are well documented with very strong evidence. If Dasuki has stolen any funds, he should be prosecuted accordingly, but the media propaganda and charade has got to stop. Media trial is injustice in itself. I find it really deceitful when I see lines like "what will you tell the Nigerian soldiers that didnt have weapons to fight and were killed because Dasuki shared the arms money". That is nothing but propaganda and trying to appeal to sentiments to push a narrative. If that were the case, what has the same military been using to fight BH in the last 8 months since Buhari has not bought any new weapons? What weapons did the army use to push back BH prior to the 2015 elections? Did they push BH back with their bare hands too? Even Lie Mohammed claims BH has been defeated. With which weapons did the army defeat BH? With their bare hands? It is important we put all these straight so we dont fall for cheap propoaganda by a government that has completely lost its way. The same government that claims they are fighting corruption came out with a terrible corruption laden budget where they intended to connect cables from the President's residence to the drivers residence with N300 million. In fact, the budget of yams was so laden with coruption that they had to shamelessly withdraw it. The world has changed. If the current government thinks they will continue to rule with propaganda, they should think again because they will be exposed again and again. Thank God for social media and the Internet! |
edupedia:That they got which money? |
dammytosh:It is not Wike that should go to court. It is EFCC that should take him to court...oh, i forgot! EFCC is only a Buhari witch-hunt tool. Shameless government |
ademega:It has not worked because he used the money to sponsor Buhari and the corrupt Buhari has to shield himself. But we will keep exposing their massive corruption and hypocrisy |
ernesty20:It shows the hypocrisy of APC and their followers. |
Evidence emerging indicates that the former governor and Nigeria’s minister of Transport, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi may be in serious trouble soon following the recent release of a white paper detailing his indictment in corruption investigations against him by the Rivers state government under Barrister Nyesom Wike for the misappropriation of the sum of N96 billion naira ($400 million) during his tenure as governor. The document, the White Paper indicating Mr. Amaechi in a corruption investigation. exclusively obtained by REPORTS AFRIQUE also indicted Mr. Tonye Cole, managing director of Sahara Energy Plc, for questionably dealings with the Rivers State government under Amaechi. Mr. Cole is named in the questionable sale of four gas turbines belonging to the Rivers State government and the 40-year concession deal of Olympia Hotel for the sum of $86,250 per year. In the document, Mr. Cole’s company, NG-Power HPS Limited is indicted for receiving a payment of $53 million as repayment for a non-existent loan from the Rivers State Government. Amaechi is also indicted in the corrupt disbursement of N2 billion designated for Agric Credit loans. Amaechi was made minister of transportation by president Buhari despite allegations by the incumbent Rivers State government over alleged mismanagement of funds, abuse of executive powers, cronyism, and outright fraud during his tenure as Rivers State Governor from 2007 to 2015. Amaechi is alleged to have been one of the chief financier of the election of president Muhammadu Buhari. In a televised event mid-2015, it was announced that Amaechi contributed 80% of the funds used to bring Buhari to office as President. In addition, Amaechi is praised by APC leaders for single-handedly funding the governorship campaigns of at least 5 APC governors including that of former Speaker, Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State. http://www.reportsafrique.com/document-indicts-rotimi-amaechi-over-n96-billion-corruption-document/ You can get the rest of the document from the link

modelmike7:The last hope of Nigeria? He cant even give himself any hope! Look at the way everything is crumbling around him! Everything is fallen apart across the country! He will go down as the worst president ever! |
modelmike7:Do you have regular fuel? Do you have regular power supply? Do you exchange a dollar for N270? Have you or your families who work for the government been paid your salaries to date? If any of the above affects you, then you are a wailer like me. Happy wailing! |
Mightymanna:Are you the one who will fight for Nigeria? Or you are just the regular NL noisemaker? They dont even need to come to Nigeria. If they arm these Shia guys, then we will have Boko Haram 2.0 on our hands |
Celebrating the yam eater! Abacha is not corrupt advocate! I borrowed 27 million liar! What a shameful celebration! |
DonCortino:Its easy to say this on NL thread but when the chaos starts, you will not even be able to come out of your house. This government is biting more than it can chew and the masses will be the ones to suffer for their stupidity |
The Iranian Military posted this on their facebook profile picture earlier today: The time when they could oppress Shias and get away with it is long gone, we shall pay a visit to the puppet regime in Nigeria soon, God willing. #Nigeria #Zakzaky #Iran #QudsForce https://www.facebook.com/Iran.Military/photos/a.424249808602.228169.114174778602/10153296309938603/?type=3&theater This is very serious because Nigerian military is very overstretched right now. They cannot even handle the current internal crisis across the country. Any new wave of insurgency will see them crumble. This is not good news Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports coming in says that Zakzaky is dead. This is very bad news if true because this will be Boko Haram 2.0 loading. This government is really very incompetent. Just seven months in and the country is on the verge of chaos. |
