Lies, big lies. Fayose exposed Aishaliburton, That's why he's being disturbed by EFCC and all.

As for FFK, I remember him saying that, if anyone has the address of the house, let that person come and show him, Till today, No trace of the house.

Sahara are liars.

How did Fayose expose the Halliburton scandal and the involvement of Aisha Buhari who is resident in the USA and is the fake daughter of former military president, general Buhari?

It seems you and Fayose just woke up after hibernating during the period when the scandal already broke over 10years ago.

SeverusSnape:
Same way he sacked Buratai, right?

Remind me of Buratai's crime or what monies were claimed to be stolen by him?

pilotab55:
Zombie will say no evidence. Corruption is fighting back. Buhari n his cabinet are all wolves on sheep cloth. Zombie come and defend your master that is why Min. of infor budget is higher than Min. of agric budget. Zombie work don show

These are crimes committed when he was head of the army.

He will be sacked and prosecuted if found culpable, I hope you don't change your tune when the government starts with the prosecution and you start lamenting that corruption is not our biggest problem.

Dambazau is a goner.

Sahara Reporters have only revealed the findings of the panel set up by Buhari to investigate military corruption.


It means Buhari has the hard facts already, so Dambazau should be sacked and docked ASAP.

She has proved her selflessness as an activist, let's watch how she selflessly discharges her duties as an administrator.

scorpio2013:
They Igbos make up to 40percent of lagos, the market you are talking about has a significant Igbo population so if Igbos leave lagos, they will leave with a significant propotion of the lagos, not forgeting their capital and the tax they pay to lagos govt.

If Igbos make up to 40% of Lagos, I reckon Yorubas are just 30% of the population since we have to also accommodate all the other ethnic groups in Nigeria in this statistics by imagination?

If Igbos are that critical to Lagos, why not leave and punish the wicked and ungrateful Yorubas by so doing?

As I have stated elsewhere, it is the curse of the immigrant to always think he is doing his host society some favour, even if he migrated using illegal paperwork, or sold all his assets to raise the fees for his relocation. The Igbos are no different, so I do not begrudge them for this attitude of self importance.

However, whatever contribution any immigrant ethnic grouping thinks it contributes to the host society, that service is waiting to be rendered by the next wave of immigrants waiting to fill the vacuum left by the former.

As long as Lagos is still geographical located as it is and the society remains relatively peaceful, it will always attract the attention and capital of true investors, not people hoping to come sell foreign and Aba goods in Lagos to take money from Lagos residents.

How exactly does importation done by Igbos to sell foreign made goods or Aba goods to Lagos customers translate to them bringing in money already resident in the hand of Lagosians?

How does Lagos develop when funds are transferred to a factory in China, India or Aba whenever goods are sold in Lagos?

The wealth resident in Lagos is only redistributed with the Igbo man as one of the beneficiaries, who in turn must pay tax to the government of that society where he has made his money. He has only brought his goods to Lagos and gets my money in return. He needs to play in the Lagos market, the Lagos market has enough merchants waiting for their own opportunity.

He is the one at the mercy of Lagos. He goes, he suffers, some other competitor fill the void.

The dynamics of Lagos ensures no one can hold it to ransome, excepts its own people decide to self destruct their society like the Niger Delta has mastered to perfection.

When the Igbo man brings a large scale industry to Lagos like Dangote, that would see funds from other parts of Nigeria and the rest of the world, transferred back to Lagos in terms of purchases made for goods and services manufactured in Lagos, employing Nigerians resident in Lagos and all paying their taxes to Lagos, then I would hold the Igbo man in high regard.

For now, let the Igbo merchant continue importing foreign goods and making his money from Lagos residents while he still can, with much gratitude and appreciation to me the customer, who is king.

TyrantInAsoRock:
Shut d eff up
When Buhari was behaving like it's only him that can do anything he pleases u are hailing him with ur Co deluded team of sycophants
Dogara is following Buhari 's footsteps :using their powers how they like

You must be one of those that have been frustrated by Buhari's anti-corruption campaign.

I'm happy you are frustrated.

BudeYahooCom:
How has your support for nepotistic buhari as a muslim yoruba put food on your table?

Any patriot is a Yoruba to you, and now must also be a Muslim?

Would the law being sought by the house of reps put food on your own table or stop Buhari from being nepotistic?

My support for Buhari as a Yoruba ensures that no criminal would have the freedom to get away with their crime, even if it was my father.

Everything is not about my own selfish stomach.

kcnwaigbo:
Shut up!! How did he force it? The Ayes simply had it!! Buhari never see anything yet!! The bill would become law before Sep 28

Anything anti-Buhari is pleasing to you?

How does this bill help your situation oh ye common man?

If legislation is passed to make the EFCC less effective, I'm sure you'lld rejoice like you've been given an extra life?

The broken backbone that refused to carry the weight of Jonathan are still lamenting his loss.

They are still lamenting the loss of the opportunity to steal the country broke with a president that was the loudest cheerleader of all the corruption and theft experienced then.

That window has closed forever. Move on!

Does the Igbo man manufacture anything in Lagos that is sold as export, thereby bringing money to the purse of Lagos State that wasn't in Lagos before?

Answer is NO!

The Igbo man is an economic refugee in Lagos.

He needs the market that Lagos population provides so that he will sell his goods. The Igbo man needs me to buy his goods, and he will pay his taxes in return to the government of Lagos State.
The Igbo man imports goods from China and India and collects the bulk of his money from the Lagos population to keep factory workers in China and India employed.

How has this Igbo man brought money to develop Lagos? Instead he takes money from Lagos and makes it his own. Who should be grateful? Who needs Lagos?

He has in no way generated any money for Lagos that wasn't resident in Lagos before.

Now take the Igbo man away from Lagos. How will he survive?

The demolished shops in Oshodi resulted to a lot of cries from the Igbo tenants while the Yoruba owners of the demolished shops moved on after the initial disappointment. The government had already given numerous notices to have the traders relocate.

The Igbos who were just tenants couldn't move on and exclaimed, "how are we going to survive?".
The irrelevant Ohaneze then declared the governor of Lagos State as an enemy of the Ndigbo, and gave the usual irrelevant ultimatum to have him revert his development strides in Lagos to accommodate the chaos associated with any Igbo grouping in Lagos.

At no time did the affected Igbo traders consider even relocating to Biafran land to continue their trade. At no time did Ohaneze encourage the Igbo traders to come home and deprive Lagos of IGR for the benefit of Anambra or Ebonyi.
Who can guess where those affected traders are now? They have either found another soon to be demolished market to survive in Lagos, or they have found their way to Sango-Otta, Ibadan, Akure, Ilorin, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, or even Maiduguri, so as to survive.

Why the vehement distaste for Igboland to continue their business at home with their fellow hardworking tribesmen who don't envy them?

So who needs Lagos?
So who is master and who is servant in Lagos?

Who has ever heard a dispensable servant giving the master of the field ultimatums on how he organises his field?
If the master does not want the servant, the servant goes.
If the servant does not like the master, the servant still goes.
If the master decides to redevelop his field, the servant must still go.

Let the servant know his place, as the Master's place is already known.

I blame Fayose and Wike for this wikedness Sheriff was invited to come perpetrate as party chairman.

attackgat:
Misguided!
What Peter Obi did and what Fashola did are not the same thing. Peter laised with the Government of the indigenes state to take care of their wards on return. But Fashola just moved people to the middle of nowhere, dumped them there and moved on as if they are nothing. That was very bad of Fashola but I do accept the fact that he apologised.

It is very bad of you to call an Igbo man an immigrant in Nigeria. The concept of 'one Nigeria' is that I as an Igbo man must feel as comfortable in any part of Nigeria as I feel in Enugu. The concept of 'one Nigeria' is that there is no 'Yoruba land', Akure might as well be Aba. You cannot say 'my land' and be saying 'one Nigeria' at the same time. One must give way. If you don't like it then create Oduduwa Republic and proclaim your sovereignty just like Igbos once did with Biafra. But as long you guys still stand by one Nigeria, you must abide by its meaning. The 'SW' is an extension of Igbo land as far as I'm concerned and I'm backed up by the constitution to make that claim.

Did Lagos State not officially notify Anambra state about the destitutes that were to be relocated? Did Anambra state not acknowledge with its own reply?

Whose fault is it if Anambra state decided to decline any further correspondence on the matter, thinking Lagos would foolishly carry the burden of Anambra state?

As long as Peter Obi did what he did in One Nigeria without the Igbos wailing, Fashola would do the same without any regard for the same Igbos as was done with other destitutes of other tribes.

You shall get the same measure of what you also give in One Nigeria. Treat others like kings in your domain, expect to be treated like kings elsewhere. Do the contrary, then expect the reciprocation.

attackgat:
How can you be deporting someone and be shouting 'one Nigeria' at the same time? That act of hypocrisy is what infuriated most Igbos such as myself. Yorubas have since turned that deportation saga into a sign that Igbos can't do without Lagos. I have no doubt in my mind that if all Igbos Lagos left, the place would be dead within a year because like it or lump it, Yorubas don't have the level of 'commercial grit' Igbos have.

So why did Peter Obi of Anambra relocate destitutes from Ebonyi and Akwa Ibom back to their state of origin, and this happened before Fashola's action?

No state government likes to have destitutes on its streets. Like Peter Obi, like Fashola.

So what is good for the goose is not good for the gander?

When a market in Oshodi was recently demolished and the Yoruba owners of the shops moved on, their Igbo tenants were crying allover that they were being victimised for being Igbo, despite the market being populated by majority Yoruba. Several notices had also been given to the traders to relocate before the eventual demolition.

It has always been the curse of the immigrant to think that their host would suffer in the wake of their exit. Immigrants in USA, UK, France, Germany etc feel the same way, so it is no surprise Igbos feel the same about Lagos or Kano.

The mistake every immigrant tribe make is that once you leave, another ethnic grouping will fill the void. You do not contribute anything unique. You are there because you need to be there for greener pastures, not because you were implored to come render any help.

You will not be missed.

If you remember the cries from the SE when Fashola relocated destitutes to Anambra, having already done same to other regions without similar reaction, then your question was already answered then.

When you take candy from a kid, you should expect tears.

Take Lagos away from Igbos that claim Lagos need them, expect all manner of wailing and begging.

Can a leopard change its spots?

Joe Igbokwe should not be disappointed in people exhibiting traits that are cultural.

They stole like Jonathan was going to be president for ever.

The South East voted for a continuation of Jonathan's regime so that the likes of Amosu and Adigun could enjoy their loot in peace.

I know the likes of Aluko and Jide Omokore would have also continued their business of buying off state assets for a pittance and withholding payments to goverment, with Jonathan's and Diezani's cooperation.

When all the above mentioned are eventually convicted, the confused South East would still be the ones to lament that Buhari is prosecuting only Southerners, even when the facts prove otherwise.

okonja:
Now that they know, what's the economic importance?

So your grouse is that this historic account of events hold no economic value?

Nino9:
on channels??

Yep!

1999.

Channels went to Ife the next day to cover ongoings in the university. They also covered the mass burial that the students organised for some of the victims.

I remember the news then on Channels TV.

The sights were gory.

IVORY2009:
Nobody, I repeat is against the present fight against corruption, but it should be on a fair ground, alots and lots of petition has been submitted against lots of Buhari's ministers like Amechi and Co. And nothing has been done under the Buhari lead govt to @ least look into such and allegation, if this is done, I think people will see this govt off Buhari to be fair, inrespective of the party you belong.

The voices raised against the fight already suggests a lot of Nigerians are criminal by nature.

When the federal government is done prosecuting crimes committed at the federal level with a recouping of federal funds, then maybe the state level crimes can be given a look in since Nigerians are no longer tired of the Buhari government fighting corruption?

Since Amaechi is your own problem, what has stopped the state government from prosecuting a private citizen with no immunity? Is the state government waiting for the federal government to prosecute a man alleged to have embezzled state funds?

I hope when the federal government is ready to prosecute Amaechi or any other politician from the South you lot have been mouthing, you won't be the very ones to start a clandestine campaign in the illiterate villages, claiming the government of Buhari is anti South?
I know anarchists like you can never be truly pleased. You must find a reason why the government has still not done well.
It will then be a campaign of "is Amaechi the only corrupt former governor?".

My own problem is Jonathan, I don't believe a facilitator of such large scale corruption at the federal level should be waking up outside the comfort a prison can afford. Yet I don't think the anti-corruption drive is a scam because Jonathan is yet to be arrested despite the indictment by Anenih, Metuh, Dasuki and many more.

kcnwaigbo:
Which stupid details have been disclosed to which court? If they have enough evidence as they claim why have they not started extradition proceedings on Obanikoro?

The same way the sponsored cock and bull stories about Saraki in the wake of the CCT trial but in the end you have seen how the whole "evidence" collapsed under cross examination!!

We have been fed stories on Dasuki for more than a year now how come the FG is stalling his trial? Why don't they want to put him in court for trial?

Those who are being tried know what has hit them.

Everything is cock and bull story to you. Nigeria is only good when it is a banana republic where anything goes?

Sorry to burst your bubble. That era is dead and buried.

The relevant government agencies would work based on their own game plan, you're not in a position to dictate to anyone how to go about criminals you're already preparing to support.

Dasuki's trial has already seen many in jail where they belong and monies are being returned, while the stubborn are now begging to have a lost chance at returning their own share of the loot.

When the government is ready to proceed with Dasuki and all he'll further incriminate, I hope your case would not be like the man that boasted that he wanted to be taken to court but is now begging to avoid the same court?

When Saraki is convicted with all the evidence against him, I hope you would be willing to take his place in jail?

IVORY2009:
[s][/s]

Nonsense! Efcc under Buhari is used to fight opposition members who do not want to cooperate with the " Buhari lead federal govt".

Allegation will be levelled against such a fellow, on the pages of newspapers like Punch, Saharareporters, etc on how he/she stole 6 thrillion naira from the govt under Jonathan, and that the money has just been recovered.

Opposition like Alex Badeh and Amosu? Opposition like Rikey Tarfa and Justice Yinusa?

Opposition that are now begging government to return their embezzled funds?

Do you really think you have a say in this anti-corruption crusade?
Does the President look like he's ever tired of this fight he's ever willing to reiterate when he's addressing Nigerians?

Crime does not pay, find a legitimate way of making money, else, this regime would make you pay.

kcnwaigbo:
Vibrant EFCC you said? What is vibrant about all this cock and bull stories they dish out to their propaganda media outlets everyday? If they have enough evidence they should take it to the courts and quit all this shenanigans!!

Yes they have been taking their evidence to court.

Yes the media has a right to report whatever details they have available to them.

I'm sure you missed the part that stated the details here have been disclosed to the court.

If you are tired of seeing criminals prosecuted, stop reading the news about their legitimate prosecution.

IVORY2009:
The EFCC under general Mohammedu Buhari is the most useless organisation, propaganda everyday, where is the video evidence, newspaper arrest

A vibrant EFCC under Buhari is more useless than the comatose EFCC of the Jonathan era?

Calm down, your rants are irrelevant to the scheme of things.

He that has a clear conscience fears not the siren of the police.

He's very much entitled to his rights.

Something Jude Okoye seem to never believe in until he his enlightened by way of a lawsuit loss.

If this was a country called USA, a lot of movies would have been made on this episode and character in history.

That would have helped to rekindle the knowledge that is now being lost and distorted already.

Amberon:
Break what law sir? Since when did hawking become a crime in Nigeria if not yesterday?

Third world meaning that hawking is prevalent in every third world country. Hawking and poverty is synonymous. There is no hawking where is no poverty. If not for decades of corruption, Nigeria would have gone beyond this stage. What do you want those masses to resort. They lack the finances to rent shops for trading.

Anyone should be able to hawk wares in residential neighbourhood streets. Any hawking on roads that should normally have heavy traffic must be made a criminal offence. It will be for the good of the potential hawker and for the motorists plying the roads.

I wonder if a hawker sets himself in your path and dies from the impact of the collision, would you still think hawking is acceptable while a mob set you and your vehicle ablaze for driving legitimately on a legitimate road?

And I believe hawking has been a crime since ages ago, and not just yesterday.

The government is not supposed to lose rationality just to appear populist.

Yet he was commissioning only Kpomo and Fish as his achievements in Ekiti state within that same time frame.

AtlanticBreeze:
Buhari witch hunting till 2019

I have a lot of money in skye bank but I'm not moved because I know that AMCON is up to the task to prevent the collapse of any bank, and prevent defaulting debtors from running away from their lawful debts like Ifeanyi Ubah and Sen Ben Bruce.

Riddle me this, why did Jonathan wait till Tunde Ayeni donated N2B to his re-election campaign before approving the take-over of mainstreet bank by Skye Bank?

fulanimafia:
What a life, wailing so early in the morning on baseless assumptions.

PMB has not visited all the core northern states either, neither has he visited all the core western states, which are even his core constituencies mandate wise.

As you've already mentioned, he has been to Cross River State which is a core southern state. If you easterners want him so badly then lobby your Governors to invite him, which is better than fooling yourselves daily by insulting him instead of admitting that you just really feel lonely and neglected and need the 'dullarpo's attention so badly

P.S. Your forced attachment to the SS is becoming ridiculously embarrassing. Grow a pair and stand on your own, you will still be heard.

OP, when you grow the intelligence to reply the facts above, I will dumb down a little to reply your suppositions.

If Fayose is complaining, then the anti-corruption fight must be succeeding.
