BraniacX:
And where were you when ihejirikA's clamp down on boko haram was being touted as an easternes's genocide against muslim northerners by buhari and the northern elders forum? Where were you when buhari was going from radio station to newspaper houses alleging bias against the north in the handling of boko haram vis-a-vis not granting them amnesty and largesse like ND militants? And yet, you blame GEJ for backing of and trying diplomacy until it became too late abi?

Abeg park well and receive deliverance from your hypocrisy

Maybe he was in the same place where he was when GEJ was instructing Marilyn Ogar of the DSS to release all Boko Haram suspects without prosecution in 2011, an action that turned loads of murderous fanatics loose to kill again.

@OP
GEJ was president from 2011 to 2015, you're not even ashamed to claim that he only commenced the process of purchasing weapons in late 2014/early 2015 despite the armed forces taking a huge chunk of our budgets since 2011!

You guys are even making this worse for yourself, it now seems like a corruption case, and not just plain incompetence.

Trust Buhari to probe these crooks.

Alpha jets and the mid range F7 fighter jet from China is what this fellow is calling 'advanced weaponry'?

Na wa

Borderless:
I hope the auditors will have some spare time to check the books of Edo State as well under the same period!

Bunch of jokers. Go remove the log in your own eyes rather than trying to remove the speck in someone else's eyes, 'Go and die' governor.

Why does it trouble you so much that corrupt agencies may be held accountable for their actions and failures to remit funds to nigeria?

People like you are traitors. You should be trying to make Nigeria better. Instead you're letting petty partisan politics get in the way of your common sense and desire to see Nigeria improve. What is wrong with you??
This is an audit to check remittances into the Govt account...not a probe of state governments. If you have evidence of Oshiomhole misusing state funds, please approach the EFCC and stop joining the ranks of those desperate to see corruption thrive in Nigeria.

Neduzze5:
I smell witch hunting!

What happens to starting the probe with Obasanjo and Yaradua's tenure before getting to Jonathan's tenure.

At least, there was the heavily scandalized Haliburton backyard deal.... Atiku and OBJ gat a lot of questions to answer!!

I agree. They should even start from the time of Tafawa Balewa. Or maybe even Lord Lugard.

The kind of imbecilic mental gymnastics you tractors use to justify support for corrupt elements is just staggering.

Rubbish

Boko Haram would have been defeated earlier if not for the crass corruption in the army you oversaw, the theft of monies dedicated for weapons purchases, the diversion of salaries of soldiers, leading to a catastrophic collapse in morale and the failure to properly plan offensives against BH, leading to innumerable loss of lives of trained officers from ambush scenarios that better equipment and surveillance could have prevented.

It was not mainly used as a political tool. Boko Haram was MAINLY used as a tool by elements in the military brass to enrich themselves.

Opiosko:
To his cattle farm. Hope his 150 cows can increase now.. Mitceeeeew

Rubbish

Opiosko:
Trying to cover his wastefulness? See as that gay crusader, Obama even dea look the man sef.

'Wastefulness'?

The GEJ you clowns supported used to travel with 100+ man delegations, and spent astronomical sums for each travel.

Buhari has done his U.S. Visit with a fraction of the number of people, with a drastically slashed cost profile and with full accountability...and you're babbling about 'wastefulness'

Only waste I see here is the money your community devoted for your education.

Terrible news

Any moment now, they will seize Barcanista's laptop and halve his salary

The OP is just a deluded fellow.

True, patriotic Nigerians do not seek validation or self-actualization just because someone from their tribe who they do not know, and who does not care if they are alive or dead is appointed into any position. True Nigerians want the best people for the jobs, appointed with MERIT as the sole criteria.

Counting appointments at this stage is just laughable, when the bulk of the appointments are yet to be made, and when a significant restructure of our establishments is rumored.

I wish the OP would tell us what exactly changed in her life from the people appointed from her tribe in the last administration. Does my life change one day if someone from a village near mine suddenly gets appointed as NCC director?

Sane minds are worrying about how to build their nation and we're still getting mired in this level of discourse. in 2015.

Pathetic

danpaul1:
Attention-seeking ugly thing! Timaya would not have her even for free.

He actually 'had' her. Whether it was for free or 'pay as you go' , I cannot say.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Buh atleast that man try with the 25K
E be the girl bn enjoy the konji!

Always an easy way to know the immature clowns on NL who do not have children.

Try to have some sense for once in your wretched life.

What?

May God punish those Pastors and Elders who pressured the parents. May God punish those imbecilic, idiotic and underserving parents that bowed to pressure and dropped the case.

We cannot leave out the crazy policemen that allow a case to be dropped when it's a case of rape against a minor. The parents should have no say in the matter.

The rapist is lucky he is dealing with silly parents of the victim. A slow and painful death is what I would have ensured he suffered.

I hope someone takes up this case and ensures this monster is locked up for life.

All these sycophants sef.

I hope APC produces these things this man is asking for as soon as PDP and GEJ and Ena ofughara produce proof that APC was hacking INEC, that SLS and Buhari are Boko Haram Sponsors and that the fuel subsidy riots were sponsored by the opposition.

Someone who nearly wrecked Nigeria and left the nation to the whims of a gang of crooks is now who this sycophant wants us to laud?

Rubbish

This is a silly decision. No need to 'nursemaid' students.

LOL. Nigerian men don't believe in throwing it back in the river

aguiyi:
that possibly is an achievement to you

I made a dispassionate, matter-of-fact statement and you're here babbling about 'achievement'.
You need to elevate your mindset.

Rubbish.

This is not about going to press to make noise. if someone stole $6bn, why has that minister not been arrested?
Why not ask the US official how - with their much vaunted money laundering laws - someone was able to bring $6bn to the US without setting off their checks.

I'm a Buhari supporter, but APC needs to get down to the serious business of governance and leave this long talk.

GEJ finished Naija sha...all the high oil price windfall, frittered away. Economy left moribund, forcing Nigeria to continue borrowing to stay afloat.

Terrible.

omar0001:
"an electronic cigarette".. those are legal..

Not in a plane, they aren't.

As you can see, it still produced enough smoke to trip the alarm.

aguiyi:
yea i know but if there is no sign the dude can claim ignorant even though that is not an excuse in law.

Why don't you just come out and say you've never flown in an airplane before?


Every single airline in the world stridently preach against smoking in flight as part of their safety induction.


Nothing to do with race as you earlier stated. Anyone would have been arrested. Airlines take this seriously, and this guy will likely be added to a no-fly list

I hope everyone isn't carried away. Some of these guys don't have THAT much cash in the bank. Let Mr Patrick below be your guide

TANoids be like "hey look! this insanely rich billionaire that was among the Politicians that helped to severely retard Nigeria's development is right because he is criticizing Buhari and APC"

Smh.

'Sea'?

There are babies with holes in their heart that desperately need money. Patients needing urgent kidney surgery. Orphanages struggling to stay afloat. Yet instead of contributing to these worthy causes some people are always wailing about Majek that happily put himself in this current mess and has spurned multiple chances to rehabilitate himself.

Majek is a druggie and a wino now. But still, he's relatively healthy. Folks should stop the pity party and let him sink or swim on his own merits. Save your sympathy for the truly deserving.

must you folks drag GEJ into everything?

When it comes to Okupe, Labaran Maku etc you won't mention his name o!

There are hundreds of ethnic groups in Nigeria. Why should it be a tragedy or a source for constant wailing if ONE tribe - thanks to backstabbing politics - has no salient figure that anyone can trust for a run at the Presidency?

If Biafra is declared today, will the OP or his cousin become the President of Biafra? No? So how does his life change?

Ask the Op chanting about 'freedom' if he or his brothers are being enslaved in Lagos where many of their tribesmen have significant investments.

No sane person defines 'freedom' as 'my tribe producing the President'. Have all the ills plaguing the Niger Delta vanished now that GEJ has had 5 years in power as President?

Only slavery here I see is the OP's deliberate enslavement of his intellect to selfish and shallow motives.

shadelek:
Good news. Now, we should be able to have a good account abt whats transpiring between our troops and BH boys

The armed forces don't allow journalists to 'embed' with their forces and yet you're expecting accurate and unbiased reporting?


LOL

SHOCKING! Daily Independent likes Clickbait, sensationalist headlines!

HungerBAD:
“President Buhari recent­ly sacked five service chiefs and appointed five others as their replacement with­out looking the way of the South East, a development that has not gone down well with Ndigbo after they had missed out in the reckon­ing for Senate presidency and the speakership of the House of Representa­tives,” he said. He advised the Igbo nation against ex­pecting too much from the Buhari administration, not­ing that their fear against Buhari which made them shun him during the presi­dential election had been proved right after all. ”In all these appointments, Buhari is bold to tell the Igbos that he based the appointments on merit, but it seems his basic yardstick for merit is Hausa-Fulani.

So as old as the man is, he is not aware that there are more than 100 different tribes in the North, and insinuating every Northerner is 'hausa-fulani' is just stupid?

HungerBAD:
”That is why we said we voted for the lesser evil as represented by former President, Goodluck Jona­than, because from Obasan­jo’s time to now, Igbo have not been treated fairly by the federal government,” he stated.

And this is the true definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. If you KNOW PDP has been unkind to your people in the past, why would voting for the same PDP be 'choosing the lesser evil'?

HungerBAD:
The Ohaneze chieftain further opined that if the Igbo nation could survive the civil war, they have enough now to make the South East a viable eco­nomic zone. ”It is the only option left to us now. That is to bring our economy home. Over 80 per cent of our wealth is outside Ig­boland. Other tribes invest more in their areas,” he said.

The only option left is to let go of the victim mentality, rejig your entire political mindset and find out a way to throw up a good politician instead of the usual corpulent crooks. At least SW can boast of the likes of Fashola. El Rufai and Tambuwal are racing through as front liners in the North. Which of the past SE Governors or Senators can one hinge his hopes on for the future?

Stupid, sponsored article to try to stampede Buhari into making hasty appointments.

Who told that so-called 'researcher' that Govt will only function at 25% if Ministers are not in place? The ministries are happily running with the DGs and Permanent Secretaries in place.

Buhari seems to be planning a massive overhaul and rejigging of the Ministries. Let him have the time he needs to do so. Simple!

liberty300:
I only see stooge supporters of Buhari on nairaland...makes me wonder. Only on nairaland do they praise Buhari when an assembly plant is hiring while the rest of the world know it's a GEJ handiwork. But that's none of my business sha.

@topic, why is Buhari and the apc still campaigning? Don't they know elections are over? Please Oga, stop demeaning your country, stop taking paparazzi pictures and focus on your duties and work...2 months in, no landmark achievement by your admin

Abeg can you list the landmark achievements of GEJ after one year?

If you don't think putting together a well funded multinational force (led by a Nigerian) is a good achievement, I'm sincerely sorry for you.
