How are you so sure he didnt pay at all before going broke eventually?

So you believe Ben Bruce is or was bankrupt that's y he couldn't repay the loan?
He was working with the mentality of Govt money bin free money.
If not for this Govt, Bruce would never have repaid that loan again.

A businessman takes a loan to expand his business, unfortunately, due to extenuating circumstances, he is unable to meet up with its repayment and has his buainesses and properties taken over. What is 'dirty' and what is the corruption about that?

Is that how a business man with excess of common sense behaves?
How long will it take him to have repaid the loan?
You borrow N11Billion for years, and u make no effort to even repay a dine?
Where does that happen?
The main issue is that if Jonathan had won d election, no one would have heard of this case, and Bruce would never have repaid the loan.
At the end the loan would have been written off as bad debt.

Have you noticed that since AMCON exposed the debt anus of the self-acclaimed common-sense Senator, that he hasn't been making further common sense on issues in the polity?
These are the kinds of activists and advocates
they boast of;so dirty, so corrupt,yet claiming
sainthood.
Atleast let our airspace enjoy some relief from
the Bruce-Air-Pollution.

The immediate past Director of Finance of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Henry Ogiri, has formerly announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC. He made the declaration when he joined the immediate former Governor of the state, now Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, to commiserate with the family of the literary icon, Captain Elechi Amadi. The former PDP leader and close associate to the former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, said he decided to join the All Progressives Congress in order to bring the government closer his people. Ogiri promised to work for the interest of the APC to bring more development in the state and beyond. “What I can say is that I’m happy to be back to where I belong. I’m happy to be back to my politically family with my friend and boss and I look forward to a good working relationship with him. “On why I have joined the APC, it is freedom of association for me to affiliate myself to any party of my choice. At the appropriate time, I will inform you why I left the PDP. One of my aims is to bring the Federal government closer to my people,” Ogiri said.

The Eleme Youth Council (EYC), in Eleme Local
Government Area of Rivers State, has denied
claims by a militant group in the Niger Delta
region, the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) that it
blew up a pipeline belonging to one of the
multinational oil companies operating in the
area.
The NDA had in a statement posted on its
Facebook page, Niger Delta Avengers on Wednesday,
claimed responsibility for blowing up a Nigeria
National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC)
pipeline at Eleme, leading to the Nigeria
Liquefied National Gas (NLNG) in Bonny Island.
“By 3.00 am, yesterday, Strike Team 2, carried
out a major strike, bombing NNPC pipeline at
Eleme leading to NLNG. You won’t stop us,” the
group had said.
But speaking to newsmen in Port Harcourt
yesterday, President of EYC, Prince Brian Emere
Gokpa, described the report by the militant
group as a figment of the imagination of
mischief makers, who want to portray Eleme in
bad light.
He said, “The attention of Eleme Youth Council
World-wide has been drawn to an online
publication that the Niger Delta Avengers blew
up pipelines in Eleme local government area.
This information is not true; it is unfounded and
baseless. It is the imagination of mischief
makers whose aim is to project Eleme as a
terrible local government area.”
The EYC President also called on youths in the
area to embrace peace and abstain from
criminal activities, saying, “Eleme local
government area is relatively peaceful and no
person or group of persons should give false
alarm about security situation in the area.
“Let me use this medium to warn all criminal
elements in the area to desist from such acts as
the council and the youth body will not fold
their hands and watch miscreants take over our
local government area as we have the capacity
to confront any crime in Eleme local
government area.”

The General Overseer of Victory Assembly
Ministry (VAM), Bishop Jonathan Eze has
cautioned Niger Delta militants to stop
blowing up oil pipelines or face the wrath
of God.
Eze gave the warning in an interview with
newsmen on Thursday in Owerri.
The Bishop was reacting to the incessant
attacks on oil pipelines by the new militant
group, the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA).
According to the general overseer, who is also
a UN Peace Ambassador, the avengers are
incurring the wrath of God by their activities.
``The Avengers are not fighting a just cause
because their activities are affecting and
threatening the peace of the nation.
``Nigerian oil is a natural gift from God and
nobody has the right to destroy it,’’ he said.
Eze added that if the Avengers were
aggrieved over any issue, they should address
it in a civil manner rather than threaten the
country.
He said if the country must remain one, no
group should threaten the peaceful existence
of the nation in the name of militancy.
Eze also blamed Niger Delta leaders for
allowing the situation to ``get out of hand’’.
``The leaders in the Niger Delta region are to
be blamed because they are the people that
groomed the militants and they should call
them to order.
``How can there be governors, senators,
traditional rulers and other top government
officials from the region; and yet they cannot
caution their children from destroying
government assets,’’ he said.
According to him, spiritual leaders will no
longer seat back to watch militants destroy
the country.
``If the militants do not stop this madness,
we will fight them spiritually and subdue
them,” he said.
The clergyman, however, encouraged the
Federal Government to take a critical look
into the issue and handle it with diplomacy.

Ondo can not survive the wind of change. Take dis to the bank. Ondo Shall Surely Fall. Are u aware that over 50 persons are already jostling for the party's ticket? What does that tell you? Use your tongue to count your teeth And start planning ahead so that you won't have heart attack then

Special Assistant to Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko on Political Mobilization, Hon. Mosunmola Awotula, popularly called iron lady has led hundreds of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Irele local Government. While speaking on behalf of the Decampees, Hon. Mosunmola said the PDP is a party of broken promises, which has inflicted pains on the people of the state. She noted that Governor Mimiko has played his last card and can no longer deceive and cajole the people of the state into voting for the PDP. “We are the strong leaders of the PDP in Irele, I have been a woman leader in ward 2, after that I became organising secretary before Mimiko came to PDP. “When Mimiko defect to PDP, he rendered us, the executive members useless and refused to carry us along in the scheme of things, that shows that Mimiko is a selfish leader,” she said. Also explaining why they left PDP, one of the leaders, Hon. Ikuemelo described the PDP is a dilapidated building, saying they left the party before it will collapse on them. He said the PDP in the state will soon become a dead party with no strength within the sunshine state. The community Chief Said with their exit, there is no PDP in Irele local Government anymore. He assured that the APC will become Victorious in the coming November 26 governorship election. Engineer Ade Adetimehin assured the defectors of equal treatment, saying no founder, no joiner. He enjoined them to preach the gospel of APC and mobilize others into the party. The APC chieftain said the defector must work together with leaders of the party in the area to ensure that APC win the community in the coming election. Among the decampees were Ayaki of Irele land, Chief Olorunda Ikuemelo, PDP Vice Chairman in ward Four, Dayo Olajide, Comrade Ademuwagun Fakomogbo, Comrade Soji Olowotimehin and Madam Aderotoye Abike. Others included Akinbamiro Ojuetimi, Olayinka Moyo and Comrade Adebayo Adegoroye. They were received into the APC by the deputy chairman of the party in the state, Engineer Ade Adetimehin

If the news that the Chief Judge of Abia State,Justice Theresa Uzoamaka
Uzokwe has gone into hiding immediately she heard that INEC has issued certificate of return to the new Governor of the state is true as reported by Sahara Reporters, then we are in a big mess as a country.
This clearly shows the level of partisanship and unprofessionalism shown by some so-called respected members of our judiciary.
This is a woman that was supposed to do justice to all manners of people,including Dr.Ogah
Anyway, let's all begin the search for her.
She must return from her hiding to swear in the new governor as soon as possible.
Or the new Governor should make plans to import another Chief Judge from a neighbouring state to administer the oath of office on him.

When former president Jonathan sacked resident doctors He wasn't a tyrant, but now Buhari is.
Who will cure our hypocrisy as a nation?

www.premiumtimesng.com/news/166732-shocking-jonathan-sacks-16000-resident-doctors-in-nigeria.html

The freezing of Gov.Fayose's Account has been a course of serious debate in out polity since yesterday. To many, Fayose is the first incumbent Governor whose account is been frozen even with his immunity. Or Ekiti State is the first state that the EFCC is freezing her account. Or perhaps its under Buhari that a state Governor/Government's account is been frozen. I got this evidence from the archives: www.premiumtimesng.com/news/163236-efcc- froze-adamawas-account.html Sadly enough, where were Nigerians then? Where were those who are now praising Fayose and pouring abuses on Buhari? That happened under Jonathan's EFCC. Was Jonathan also a tyrant? Was he also using the EFCC to persecute the opposition and his perceived political enemies. Was any APC Governor then perfectly behaving like Fayose is doing now? Its amazing the way we claim to have forgotten things in this country. Some day ahead, if a sitting Governor's plane is been grounded, if the president visits a state and deliberately snubs the sitting Governor and instead follows a group of His party leaders in the state, if the president deliberately refuses to do anything for an entire state because of perceived enmity between the state governor and him, if the president refuses to refund monies spent on federal roads back to a sitting governor that people think he is having problems with, if the president shares ecological funds to only Governors under his political platform, if the president refuses to clean up an oil-polluted area because a slain hero of the tribe refused to grant him scholarship abroad or if the president openly supports the evil that 16 is greater than 19 in an election, Nigerians will certainly know what to say. Nigerians are indeed a special breed of people. Call Buhari whatever you choose, the truth remains that nothing is new in this country of ours. If it was good for the goose,(Murtala Nyako and his Adamawa State for the same reason),let it also be good for the gander (Ayodele Fayose and his Ekiti State).

The embattled former National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party Senator Ali modu Sheriff has declared Monday’s Governorship Primaries in Edo State as illegal and a contraption of an illegal care-taker Committee and has urged members nationwide especially in Edo State to disregard it. In a letter addressed to the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission signed by the National Chairman and the National Secretary, Prof. Wale Oladipo. the Party through the letter urged INEC not to give legitimacy to what happened in Edo and said that the party is going to conduct a proper primary in the state. Also in another statement, the party released a scheduled congress in Edo State to start from June 23rd-June 29th with the inauguration of Congress Committee scheduled for Thursday. Also in another statement, the National Chairman warned state Chairmen and officers of the party to desist meeting or having anything with the illegal Caretaker committee and warned that anybody dealing with them is on his own. In another statement also, Sheriff also announced the appointment of some deputy national Officers as members of the National Working Committee in acting capacity. The party said that it is acting in pursuance to a resignation of five (5) members of NWC and in accordance with the provisions of sections 39(2), 42 (2), 43 (2), 44 (2) and 47 (6) of the Constitution of the party 2012 as amended. The newly appointed officers are: Mr. Okey Nnadozie – Acting National Organizing Secretary, Mr. Alonge-Niyi Dennis –Acting National Youth Leader, Mrs. Hannatu Ullam – Acting National Women Leader and Barrister Bashir Maidugu –Acting National Legal Adviser.

The Rivers State House of Assembly has
authorised the State Governor, Chief Nyesom
Wike, to access a N14.16bn Federal
Government Budget Support Facility.
The 14 lawmakers, who were present at
Tuesday’s plenary unanimously gave the
approval based on the request of the state
governor.
Wike who had written a letter to the House
through the Speaker, Dabotoru Dima,
explained that the approval would enable his
administration to sustain the payment of
salaries to civil servants and pensioners.
The governor had said in the letter that his
administration had not accessed the N10bn
earlier approved by the House as bailout.
He, however, added that the N14.16bn was to
be collected in three tranches with nine percent
one year moratorium, if approved by the state
legislature.
The letter indicated that the loan would be
secured on future dividends or funds accruing
to the state from the Federal Government.

Reports have it that the Rivers State Governor, Chief Barr.Nyesom Wike has secured another 14.6 billion naira loan today.
This is coming barely two weeks after He first secured the bailout funds of N10billion from the federal government.

So far, Gov.Wike has now taken N119.6Billion in less than 13 months in office.This is an average of N310 Million borrowed every single day since he stole power on the most bloody path ever. This figure is minus over N130.7 Billion He has got from federal allocation, and over N108billion worth of IGR and other sources of revenue to the state.
Meanwhile, as Gov.Wike continues to become the new Donatus of the PDP, sponsoring almost all PDP events including the just concluded Edo Governorship Primaries, Rivers Workers and pensioners are still been owed for months.
Sadly enough, Rivers state would be paying about
N11.9 billion every month on loans alone.
Nigerians please come to our rescue, we're
finished!

Meanwhile for those who may be discarding this information because a newspaper source isn't attached, kindly keep it remembered, when the reports get published by the media houses, I will post it here for confirmation.

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of Assistant Inspector-General of Police Ibrahim Kpotum Idris as the Acting Inspector-General of police.
He replaces former police IG, Solomon Arase.
Arase and Idris are currently in a closed- door
meeting with the president at the Aso Rock
Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Jirate:
OP, Where is the “Oath”?, I didn’t see any………..

How do u usually see oath before?

Indeed political sins aren't forgiven

bejeiodus:
Don't be ecstatic yet. The two factions are already holding talks geared towards putting an end to the crisis. Obaseki is a political neophyte, he can't stand a savvy politician like Pastor Ize-Iyamu.

PDP crisis to end soon?
Bros is too late to be sleeping by now na.
Its Sheriff or PDP is buried forever.
That's the only solution as far as Sheriff is alive.
And will the anti-Sheriff elements accept this ugly solution?
As for Obaseki been a neophyte, I don't knw how you arrived at that. But from my political experience I know no politician is an island. They are all neophytes to some secret or open political heavy heights.

That the biggest party in the world is in an extinction crisis isn't news any longer.
What is pertinent is a review or an update on the chaotic situation in the party.
1. The Makarfi faction has sold govenorship forms to three candidates for N16Million each.
2. The Makarfi-led faction has also set up an electoral committee headed by former Benue State governor, Gabriel Suswan to conduct the party's primary election.
3. The primaries of the party is tentatively slated for tomorrow (Makarfi faction).
4. The Sheriff faction has set up His own electoral committee headed by Senator Hope Uzodinma to oversee the Edo State governorship primary and congresses for the forthcoming election.
5. The cost of the Sheriff-led PDP Governorship form is N10million.
6.INEC is yet to recognise any faction in PDP national leadership tussle.
7.There are several pending litigations in Portharcourt and Abuja High Courts.
8. Political thugs fighting for both Sheriff and Makarfi continue their attempts to take over the Wadata Plaza in the midst of a second closure order by the Police IG.
9. I suspect that by tomorrow,Sheriff will secure another court injunction stopping or nullifying the Makarfi-led primaries tomorrow in Edo State.
10.Finally, PDP may not participate in the 2016 Edo State Governorship Election.

So for me, its a big Congratulations to Mr.Godwin Obaseki, The Edo State Governor in-waiting.

Nairaland should post pushing posts from http://.com/pdp-court-orders-

They are simply a bunch of desperate bloggers with extreme fake or adulterated news.
This is a clear example and a total misrepresentation of what transpired at the portharcourt court.
If people are tempted to believe this fake post, then what will the court decide on come July 4?

The governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele
Fayose, has been sued over his decision to
join workers of the state’s civil service in
their industrial action.
A lawyer, Kabir Akingbolu, who sued the
governor before a Federal High Court in
Lagos, argued that Mr. Fayose’s decision
amounted to abdication of duties.
“Considering the provision of Section 176
subsection 1 and 2 of the Constitution
whether the abdication of duty by the 1st
Defendant in reckless abandonment is not a
violation of Oath of office taken by him as
Governor of Ekiti,” Mr. Akingbolu stated
in his originating summons.
Joined as defendants in the suit are the
state’s Attorney General, Accountant-
General of the Federation, and the
President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
Mr. Fayose had announced in a televised
broadcast his decision to join the workers’
indefinite strike in solidarity.
The workers are being owed five months
salaries.
“I want to tell workers that I have placed
myself on indefinite strike in solidarity with
you,” Mr. Fayose was quoted as saying.
“I have shared your pains, but it was rather
unfortunate that a man can’t give what he
doesn’t have.
“I have told you the true position of the
finances of the state, of which you had
played critical roles in allocation to
relevant sectors which shows how well I
had carried you along since the dwindling
revenue to the state commenced.”
But the workers responded by telling him to
pay their salaries rather that engaging in the
solidarity strike.
In his court papers, Mr. Akingbolu sought
an order of the court declaring that Mr.
Fayose has lost his position as governor
“having failed to transmit power to his
deputy as envisaged by the constitution”.
He also sought, among others, an order
directing President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency in Ekiti State “to avert breaking down of law and order, since there is a vacuum in governance.”

The All Progressives Congress (APC) said on
Tuesday it has nothing to do with the
leadership crisis currently rocking the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), saying the party was
suffering from the sins of the past.
The party was reacting to allegations by the
Senator Ahmed Makarfi- led faction of the
party blaming the Presidency and the APC for
the leadership crisis.
Media reports on Tuesday quoted the Makarfi-
led Caretaker Committee of the PDP as
accusing the APC and the Presidency of being
behind the Ali Modu Sherrif faction of the PDP
ostensibly to ensure that the PDP is in
perpetual crisis and unable to produce
credible candidates for the forthcoming
governorship elections in Edo and Ondo
States.
In a statement signed by its National
Secretary, Alhaji Mai Mala Buni, the APC said:
“For the umpteenth time, the APC wishes to
state that instead of joining issues with the
baseless and laughable allegations, the APC
would rather join issues on matter that will
bring about all-inclusive development to the
country.
“However, it should be put on record that the
PDP forced on itself whatever crisis it is
troubled with today due to its politics of
imposition and other undemocratic practices
which the APC abhors.
“The PDP should put its house in order rather
than playing to the gallery and blaming others
but themselves for their sins which has come
to hunt them. Also, it is evident that the PDP
has chosen to employ diversionary tactics
because of its inability to produce credible
candidates for the forthcoming elections in
Edo and Ondo States.”

Gov. Dickson's Desperation To Remain In Office
Assumes New Height, Chases Tribunal Judges
With N5 Billion


The desperate bid of the Bayelsa state governor,
Henry Seriake Dickson to perpetuate his state in
office, has taken a new dimension. A scoop from
a source in Dickson's camp has revealed that
Dickson is not leaving anything to chance, as he
has vowed to get a pliant ruling from the Bayelsa election petition tribunal.
According to our source, the Ijebu-born
governor was miffed with the leaked story of
how Chief George Allen Fente was mandated to
buy the conscience of the tribunal judges. But
that has not dissuaded him from continuing with
his mission to procure a favorable judgment at
whatever cost.
He has adopted a new strategy,which is to
engage the service of an Appeal court judge.
To achieve this objective, Hon. Justice Moore
Adumein (JCA) of the court of Appeal, an Ogbia
man, has been contacted to reachout to the
judges on Dickson's behalf.
The sum of 5billion naira has been set aside to
achieve this purpose.
Our source hinted that Dickson, has become so
obsessed with the tribunal victory, that nothing
else matters to him. An evident reason why the
state has taken a nose dive into its worst state
ever.

I noticed that the casket of boxing legend Muhammed Ali looks very much different from the Normal ones used by Nigerian Muslims no matter how highly placed the person was.
I want to know why and if it has an religious intonation.
