Nyesom Nwike: Goodluck Jonathan Appoints a Corrupt Minister

http://www.elombah.com/index.php/articles/daniel-elombah/7320-nyesom-nwike-goodluck-jonathan-appoints-a-corrupt-minister-v15-7320

Is fighting Corruption in Goodluck Ebele Jonathan's agenda at all? That is the question on the mouth of Nigerians as they go through some of his appointees as Ministers. The President has just named Nyesom Nwike as minister. A guy who is on bail; charged for Stealing N4.7 Billion of Rivers State Government funds by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in October 2008...

Joyfullyme: Very cheap attempt at black painting.
At this level you should back up your statements with facts.

Ask anybody that is from Rivers State, hate him as you may the man is greatly loved in his local government where he has ruled before and his legacy in his LGA is strong for all to see.
Most of what is happening is because he is standing for his local government.

Cry me a river - blind fu ck...

Nyesom Wike’s 2015 Gov Ambition Falls Flat As His Ikwerre Ethnic Group Cedes Slot To Others In Rivers

If only the EFCC is reputable… this menacing goon would have been put away for good… the Rivers people should be scared of this guy; Nyesom Wike is as bad and ruthless as they come, your worst nightmare won’t compare.

Ever wonder what they look like... here is a prime example one:

Most ineffective
Most illegitimate - ( the real stolen mandate, albeit thru his buddy-buddy Judge)

It is now official Benin is the capital of Kidnappings and other heinous crimes. And our loudmouth governor has no solution whatsoever – an ineffective/illegitimate gov imposed on the good people of Edo state.

[size=17pt]Kidnappers kill Benin musician after collecting N500,000[/size]
By Osagie Otabor, Benin9 hours 50 minutes ago


A Benin, Edo State- based musician, Omoregbe Okpeyen, also known as Bayo Ade, was found dead yesterday after being kidnapped for more than 12 hours.

His abductors collected N500,000 from his family.

Bayo Ade was kidnapped by six armed men on Sunday morning at James Watt junction by Lagos Street in Benin.

His band boys had set up the stage at the residence of the Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, where he was scheduled to perform for his pre-birthday celebration.

His kidnapping and killing came one week after the Chairman of Tomline Company, Tes Soare, was abducted in front of his house while returning from church.

Bayo Ade’s younger brother and manager, Peter Etchie (Jnr), said the kidnappers shot his brother in the leg.

The Gov is not God, let’s blame global warming, over population, and centralized economic base. The federal government must do its share in decentralizing the country’s economic and business base. This should have been ensured before moving the Federal Capital from Lagos to Abuja. Once upon a time Lagos was not only the Federal Capital but also the Country’s business hub. . . and it is still the business hub; so the plan at the onset should have been to not only move the FCT to Abuja, but to also create other business centers across the country; in PH, Edo, Enugu, Onitsha, Warri etc. The Governor is doing the best he can do – the Federal Government must take it from here.

JOS, Nigeria, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Muslim youths hacked a Christian family of eight to death in Nigeria's volatile Plateau state on Sunday, local officials said, continuing a week of violence that has pitted gangs from the two faiths against each other and civilians,

This' nothing short of Ethnic cleansing and religious persecution, and must be stopped by all means necessary.

The unfortunate reality of our beloved country. . . after years of brutal military dictatorship.

In Ancient Sparta, he who speaks the loudest gets heard – Modern Nigeria bears some resemblance to Ancient Sparta; at least in social interactions, and commerce.

@ becomerich,

UN cant do shite , as long as it Nigeria and we don`t bend over to them, NATO won`t even let UN intervene cus our OIL is too precious to lose.

That’s why they are in Libya. . .

Buhari is tyrannical and blood thirsty as his followers. . . he deserves the electric chair at the Hague.

The governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has said he recently sacked some commissioners and Special Advisers from his cabinet because their communities did not vote for the Action Congress of Nigeria in the national assembly poll.

The booger toting autocratic governor. . .

Whoever said do-or-die politics is a thing of the past; or only thrives in PDP. . . think again.

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God/Allah.

My soul thirsteth for God/Allah, for the living God/Allah: 'When shall I come and appear before God/Allah?'

My tears have been my food day and night, while they say unto me all the day: 'Where is Thy God/Allah?'

These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I passed on with the throng, and led them to the house of God/Allah, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why moanest thou within me? Hope thou in God/Allah; for I shall yet praise Him for the salvation of His countenance.

Coming from sagamite!! Another reason why am Proud to be SW'NER!!!

Really id iotic retort/secondment, to a very plausible analysis

goodbobo:
Nigerians made their choice under a free and fair election and we decided not to vote for a man that is widely acclaimed to be incorruptible knowing fully well that the number one problem with the country is corruption . What ever happens in the next four years is our making but I pray things turn out well .
I am more disappointed in the south west .If the north and the south decided to vote along ethnic lines , lets say that is assumed understandable but south west that is supposed to be more enlightened just could not see enough reason to vote for the man that has so much passion for the country , a man that no corruption case could be traced to .
I am not against Goodluck , i like him as a person but the whole world know the kind of people is his surrounded with .
God help us in Nigeria and I pray its not going to be another four sinking years .

Most Nigerian hate military dictators and allies of the same; that kept them shackled for years. They want a free and democratic country – the Buharis of Nigeria are religious fundamentalist with autocratic ideologies – a free Nigeria will always reject these lots - I am not sure why this’ hard for you to come to grips with.

[size=13pt]Sounds like a man whose property was stolen by an identified person and was asked by sympathisers to accept his faith as an act of God. When will accepting rigged elections stop in Nigeria?[/size]

I think you are absolutely right – the International observers should have said the elections were rigged, this way southerners would not be maimed, killed, and churches burnt down by northerners.

I am just a bit confused, do you really want a free and fair election as seen by outsiders, or you want rigged elections?

I think what you'd want is:

1. Free and Fair election won by a northerner
2. Rigged election won by a northerner

Conclusion- you are only interested in a northerner rulling the country.

YOU MUST BE AN AND DEVIL'S PIKIN FOR U TO THINK OF SUCH.
MAY GOD 4GIVE U.DRY BRAIN
CAN U SEE your TREND IS BEING VIEWED NO COMMENT!

It gives you and your other terrorist brothers something to think about as you contemplate disrupting my country's democratic election process.

In the wake of unrest caused by illegal invaders in the northern states of Nigeria, the UN Is Proposing a NO-FLY-ZONE For all Northern Terrorists and providing buses to take them back to their countries up north. This will become permanent in the Nigerian state, as this ungrateful I DI OTS have over stayed their welcome…

Any suggestions for revitalizing the barren lands in the Northern part of the Nigerian state, after these bone heads have been deported?

One cluster bomg takes 'em all out. Freaking degenerates!

For those contemplating military coup to bring down a democratically elected president. . .

Think, "No Fly Zone". . .

Nigeria will never go back to those days. . .

dayokanu:
85% and above

why not 80%??

If we agree that US have the freest and fairest elections, I can tell you states with voting stations that voted over 90% for Obama. Or should we also question the ACN sweep in SW in the NASS elections. . .as somehow being unscrupulous. I think that was fair and free, and so was the elction of this President. . . people voted for GEJ not for PDP. You can cry all you want, the facts wont change. . . and I am certain you are not smarter than 20m Nigerians. . . and you are not even the most tribal Nigerian.

dayokanu:
^^ WHich State did Buhari get close to 90% in the North even in Katsina

define close?

Kobojunkie:
What states?

Would that change your opinion about this democratically elected president - in the freest and fairest elections in Nigeria. . . don't take my word for it; that's what all the foreign observers are saying.

If it would I'd tell you the states. If you wan't this guy to fail, your prayers might come true - and you will still be looked down on in the US. . . with all the negative insinuations Nigerians live with in the diaspora. In the US all Yorubas, Igbos, Housas, and the minority groups you hate so much, are all refered to as Nigerians. I for one would like to be looked at and refered to, as person from a country with a thriving democracy and economy.

So if it would change your mind I'll tell you what states. . . or you can do the ratios yourself.

Are you also surprised that Buari got over 80% of the votes in a couple of northern states? Has it occurred to you that many people in Nigeria don’t want Buari or any other former dictator, trying to pretend they now believe in a democratic society? Or you are just too blinded by your biases that you can’t see what is happening in Nigeria?

Let's not stop here. . . let's all support the president from here on; and pray he moves the country forward.

ekt_bear:
Maybe naija is very different. But doesn't a candidate getting 99%+ of the vote in even his home state seem. . . weird? Fake?

It is not at all unusual to have 99% in a few states. . . it happened in the US in some states in the last presidential elections

There are 8 states GEJ won with those kind of margines - this only proves that majority of the electorate believes he's the best man for the job.

You can't go crying foul, when you have election observers, from foreign countries all saying these are the freeest elections in Nigeria so far. Let's move on and support the president - a better Nigeria benefits all.

Yup!

Candidate Total Votes States Won States With Over 25% Of Votes
Goodluck 21,207,191 22 29
Buari 10,762,816 10 13

Musiwa,:
when you add the CPC , North PDP and igbo as vice president, you have enough to impreach Jonathan. this look like what the north is up to. the north are smart politically. They are well and good planner.

Blah Blah Blah. . . rubbish, baseless talk!

What a load of crap_ the northerners will soon realize that the landscape in Nigerian polity is changing - Majority of the Nigerian electorate are becoming smarter, as their political inclination seem to be blurring tribal and party lines when it comes to voting. But as expected the status quo remains in the North. . . but not for long.

Sun of god:
Up GEJ -  
https://www.independent.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00046/johnson8_46247a.jpg

Not a good example, this guy was on Steroid, and all medels were stripped.

Jonathan won outright, and he's more like the Obama of Nigeria . . . from a minority tribe and arguably the most marginalized region of the country. Hail to the Nigerian voters for seeing pass tribal/party lines to vote for the most qualified candidate. The Northerners will follow, come 2015.
