And 15 billion for City Gates in Imo state! Okorocha don finish Imo people walahi!

airmark: It's so unfortunate that Jonathan has bad people around him advising him. Obasanjo, though i dont cherish him, is like a lord in Nigerian politics. Jonathan should better retrace his steps. IBB, Atiku, Buhari, Fayose etc know better.

Shut up! You are making noise!

Kairoseki77: "Please, Mr. President, be very wary of assistants, aides and collaborators who look for enemies for you. I have seen them with you and some were around me when I was in your position. I knew how not to allow them create enemies for me. If you allow them, everybody except them will be your enemy." - Obasanjo

"Don't always consider critics on national issues as enemies. Some of them may be as patriotic and nationalistic as you and I who had been in government. Some of them have as much passion for Nigeria as we have... Please, Mr. President, be very wary of assistants, aides and collaborators who look for enemies for you. I have seen them with you and some were around me when I was in your position. For me, there is neither North-South divide nor Christian-Moslem divide but one Nigeria." - Obasanjo

The enemy creators at work!

Can you just shut your mouth. You have nothing upstairs! You are even quoting OBJ. Isnt that shameful? Who cares whether you hate GEJ or not? No one cares, You have hated hgim since he became president so what has changed. Just shut up my friend!

Kairoseki77: You are correct that GEJ tolerates the opposition. He seems like a good person. Unfortunately, he has surrounded himself with hateful bigots who create enemies for him.

Just look at the divisive words on this thread coming from people who are supposed to be members of a national party! Instead they talk like they are a small regional party. They act like Asari Dokubo.

Which people create enemies for him? You people have hated him since he was elected president. You swore to make the country ungovernable for him. Now you claim people make him have enemies. You are only deceiving your own self. Abeg park weell joor!

From ADETUTU FOLASADE-KOYI, Abuja



Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi yesterday told a reconciliation meeting of stakeholders, set up to resolve the controversy over the alleged missing $49.8 billion oil money that he was “misled.”

He told the stakeholders’ meeting held in Abuja that he was misled by the Reserve Department of the CBN.

In fact, Sanusi reportedly apologized to the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for the advertised mix-up contained in his letter to President Goodluck Jonathan, sources at the meeting said.

At the parley attended by officials of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC), Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Department of Petroleum Resources(DPR) and Ministry of Finance, the CBN governor reportedly recanted contents of his earlier allegation that a whopping $49.8 billion was missing from the Federation Account, having been unremitted by the NNPC as crude oil sales.

The meeting, which ended at 1.30am yesterday, was said to have reconciled all issues relating to the alleged missing money. Sources at the meeting said the CBN presentation was nothing different from the contents of the letter already published in the media. It was confirmed that after it was established that the CBN has no other information to add to what was contained in the letter sent to the President, the parley then turned to the NNPC to clarify issues.

Submissions by the NNPC immediately justified that it made necessary payments to the CBN.

The presentation by the NNPC indicated that contrary to the contents of the letter by Sanusi, there are other agencies of government, which collect oil revenue. Its officials stated that the CBN can only announce that a certain amount was missing after it has checked the amount paid in by all relevant agencies.

“At the end of the presentation by the NNPC, the CBN governor immediately clarified that he was misled by the Reserve Department of the apex bank which he said did not give him a full view of all the revenue streams to the Federation Account.. He embraced and apologized to the Minister of Finance for the mix-up,” said the source.

Meanwhile, appearing before the Senate Committee on Finance yesterday, Sanusi reiterated that the letter was not to indict the NNPC of corruption but that it was an invitation that was to lead to further investigation of the allegations raised in the document forwarded to the President.

He also recanted before senators that no oil money was missing from the Federation Account, adding that the only amount left to reconcile is just $12 billion.

His words: “I found it very unfortunate (that) it was leaked to the press and the answer is ‘Yes’, the CBN governor did send that letter with those contents. By way of those contents, the Central Bank and Finance Ministry and the government were very much concerned over the years at the very low rate of accretion to the reserves in spite of very high level of oil prices and in particular, depletion of excess crude account in spite of what seems to be very high level of oil sales.

“Now in investigation and trying to understand where those leakages were, our attention was drawn to a huge difference between what appeared to be export of crude made by NNPC and amount repatriated into the crude equity account of the Federal Government.

“What I would like to do is, given the progress we have made, to request that we be given little more time to continue with this process and come back with the final position that is a common position among us if the committee will so grant us…”, Sanusi prayed.

But the Finance Minister insisted before the Senate committee that the only money left to reconcile the accounts is $10.8 billion. “I just wanted to add that we found about $10.8 billion. He mentioned $12billion,” Okonjo-Iweala said.

No need for apology. He has goofed majorly. He should resign honorably or get fired. He has breached the FG's ethics code and put the country in Jeopardy with his action. He should just go! There is no room for politics in civil service. Nigeria is bigger than all of us and no one should bring in politics when it concerns the welfare of Nigeria as a country. Unfortunately, that is the new politics APC is playing today. They are so desperate, they will rather bring Nigeria down economically and otherwise just to give themselves a backdoor into the corridors of power. He should resign now!

I can now confirm many of these APC people are not normal...

They just post crap all day

Just pointing you back to your list

talktimi: abeg no blame me, the social standing and calibre of the personalities involved esp Iyabo makes this so shocking to me. Vanguard has even promised more revelations

When all the criminal forces that destroyed Nigeria come together to take power back, then you know God is orchestrating something big for Nigeria. God will ambush them for us and finally nail them. The APC is becoming the old pdp. All the evil characters in the PDP have gradually moved to the apc. GEJ is leading the rebirth of PDP.

chi 3280: So many hypocrites on this thread. Accusing Obasanjo of being uncouth but you're worse than him. He's human just like everyone and has his own flaws.

He is a major contributor to the spoiling of Nigeria. He should never speak in public. He is disgusting

talktimi: Getting more and more interesting but i dont know why i still doubt her writing that letter sha

Still doubting after 48 hours? Your name go change to Thomas oh. Lol.

Okon ikott: This is shameful, if indeed it is true. The leadership of the NA should start educating her members on their true worth and ranking. The same humiliation was recently reported b/w a senator and a governor. High time our lawmakers behaved better. This must never be allowed to continue.

The worst part of this picture is that it shows the state is completely compromised. No checks and balance. If the institution that is supposed to do the check and balance is worshiping the governor, then who else will do it. This is a proof that massive fraud is going on unchallenged in that state! The legislature there is simply a rubber stamp!

mazizi tonene: Sharrap!!! U don't know him...he's one of the most humble governor u can ever come across

We can all see his humility in that picture now, cant we? You no serious at all!

Tolexander: mollusc!

Whose fault is it that senseless honourables knelt before the governor?

He should carry them up from kneeling down or what?

Yes he should carry them up! And why not? Why will he receive their worship? Is he god? Such an arrogant iddiot governor! And you his despicable sycophant supporter! See your answer here from Iyabo herself:

I don’t blame you for the many atrocities you have been able to get away with, Nigerians were your enablers every step of the way. People ultimately get leaders that reflect them." - Iyabo Obasanjo

laughterclub: ANY FINGER DAT WIL TYPE AGAINST MY GOV ROCHAS WIL NEVER USE DAT HAND AGAIN.APC FLAG IS D BEST IMOLITES HAS WITNESSED,PDP DISABLED PEOPLE HAS BLOCKED OKIGWE ROUND ABOUT TRYING TO PUT TENSION IN OUR PRETTY HOME.ROCHAS CARRY GO 4GET LAZY IMO ENEMIES.

Shut up my friend. Noise maker! Was it PDP that shut the banks and put people into untold hardship?

[quote author=alpha.w.g]if you ain't sure of what truly transpired between ORO and his house of rep members before they knelt before him, then it's safer to shut your venus fly trap. So many clueless peeps be sounding so assertive..#smh.[/quote]Shut your uncivilized trap! There is no reason in 2013 for legislators to kneel down in front of a governor like that. None whatsoever. Stop talking nonsense!

chuksvee: be truthful to ur self, his programs in education, roads,health sector are second to none,, i dnt understand where all dis hatred are coming from.

Okorocha is the biggest scam to ever rule any south east state. A total fraud! A not so funny clown!

Tolexander: What are you saying mollusc?

Were you there to know if he was the one that told them to kneel down?
Why can't you try reasoning what made sane and able bodied men to kneel down instead of disturbing me with your folly?

What is there to reason? Are they school kids? Even if they stole meat in the pot, they still should not be kneeling down so degradingly. No human dignity. Both the one receiving the worship and the ones worshiping him are despicable! Degrading sight to see in 2013 and to think these are legislators. That means whatever the iddiot governor says, they will surely rubber stamp it. No mind of their own. And to think that this nonsense comment you posted is coming from someone who insults GEJ is even more nauseating. You no get small shame?

chi 3280: to you its a shameful thing. To them its a sign of respect. There's no big deal. Tell me,if they were women,what would you have said Obi?

Sharrap my friend! Nobody should kneel down to another person. In the first place, it is not even Igbo culture. Even if it is, such cultures are in the stoneage now. This is the same mindset of "go and die". Illiterate despots posturing as leaders. They still live in 1922. Who ever made this man a governor? Shame of you all. Like Iyabo said

I don’t blame you for the many atrocities you have been able to get away with, Nigerians were your enablers every step of the way. People ultimately get leaders that reflect them. - Iyabo Obasanjo

manny4life: Bros, truth be told, I don't blame Rochas but the men kneeling down.

What? You dont blame the guy they are kneeling down for? You dont blame the arrogant foool and despot! Well you might as well absord hitler of the actions of his deputies like himler because they did many things on their own.

See how the idddiot governor is so arrogant in that picture? Oh My! What a shame. This man is a barbarian!

Tolexander: ah ah!
Wetin?
Do you know what transpired between them?

Instead of castigating ORO, why can't you castigate the men kneeling down?

Something might have been done wrong by the men to warrant the kneeling down.

Stop repeating this nonsense. What? Are you really justifying this despicable act? Oh my! Legislators kneeling down before a governor! You are surely not in your right senses!

ajoskele: Don't hurl insults at people. It's childish!!

Excuse me? Do you even know the meaning of the word insult? Abeg shift go one side joor. You all look like Okorocha! Barbarians!

Emzybrown: Some comments i see here, does not reflect the wishes of 3 million Imolites, so keep hating while Rochas keep transforming Imo State.

Transformation indeed. We can see it clearly in that picture. Shame on you!

Tolexander: you don't have to criticize the man since you don't know what was going on between them!

What in the world can be going on to warrant such a despicable sight? Can you hear yourself! You must have very low self esteem

How will these men ever carry out their oversight on the governor if they can kneel before him like school kids who came late to school? Like Iyabo said in her letter, you people are the ones who cheer these iddiots on

I opened another thread not knowing one was already opened because I was nauseated with the picture. This is despicable.

It is only in these APC states you see this kind of things. A governor telling someone to go and die, a governor incarcerating and deporting Nigerians in their own country, and so on

These people are animals. They insult GEJ everyday, yet GEJ will never even come close to doing this. The man is so humble, he doesn't even reply his critics many times. Yet they are trying to paint him bad. But their smear will not stick. Instead, it will continue to backfire on them and they will keep fighting themselves like what Iyabo did to her father this morning. Their nemesis will be swift

See how a governor is ruling a state. Just imagine the arrogance of APC governors and their crudeness. What kind of House of Assembly would this be? This is so shameful

You and your misleading title. Sanusi was wrong, not right and he will be fired. He is a saboteur! Trying to sabotage Nigeria for political gains

[quote author=Mayor_of_Lagos]NOI is dancing with fire!

She is running an Igbo agenda with our money. Everytime a missing money or missapropriation comes up she is in it and the department involved is one headed by an Igbo.
