Collynzo419:
This is troubling news and Nigerians need to understand that the BH issue can no longer be treated with kids gloves.

This new relationship with ISIS is strategic because it will encourage and increase the use of foreign fighters, making the fight against BH more difficult.

What Nigeria needs now is a leader that can put political considerations aside and fight this menace head on, utilizing our military resources efficiently to curtail BH.

We need change in this country before things get out of hand.

Yes, that explains a lot about APC and their desperation for power. They will do anything to get power but then again, they will always fail as usual. If they like, let then negotiate with the inhabitants of the moon, they will still fail. If you are angry because you are gay, sorry.

By the 1st of June 2015 when sanity return to Nigeria, the revelation that will be exhumed about the massive corruption and clear cut stealing perpetuated by JonaTAN and his gang of thieves will make mobutu sese seko and Abacha shout praise the Lord in Hell.

A man who has no shoes but have now decided to " RETRIEVE THE SHOES OF EVERY NIGERIAN" is a shame unto himself and the God he profess he served.

He got 95.5 hectares of land for himself amd his mother, the minister who is not foolish allocated 4000plots to himself too since the president has taken his own share.

Every minister in his cabinet sees him as a conduit pipe to fulfil their own greed all they need do is package his own share or give mama peace the JonaTAN share.

I remembered vividly after the death of Abacha, Michael Ani the then minister of finance returning over $30 million dollars that he took from the CBN treasury saying Abacha gave him as a Birthday Gift.

JonaTAN will go down as the most corrupt amd most heartless president that ever ruled Nigeria. Abacha aside the strike force didn't go this far .
If you are not such an ignoramus, it would have dawned on you that the auditor general works for the president so if he is asking questions, it is the president asking questions. And maybe your pear shaped brain didn't notice where the article said "deductions before remmiting to federation account". But then again, you are an APC e-rat so I would be expecting too much

Let's assume I am wrong, based on that I made a basic search as you suggested and found that the trail cost about 40,000 a week. He was arrested in 2010 convicted 2012 (104 weeks max estimation). This comes to 4.2M (approx) have I missed something?
40, 000 a week for what? For court activities? legal fees? Logistics or what? You just google and get your answer. You need to do your research from the legal department's records not some quick Google link

I am not APC member, I am a Nigerian who want the betterment of this great country....GEJ defends corrupt practices, his body language towards corruption says it all, obj loot also but there was discipline same with IBB...tinubu was handling Lagos with no allocation from federal government during his tenure.
There was discipline in OBJ tenure? Did you not see from TI report that OBJ tenure was the most corrupt in Nigeria history? cheesy cheesy cheesy

The only difference between then and now is that

1. We have freedom of information and we can now know even litle things like how much the president eats

2. We have social media now that spreads information all across the world in minutes

During OBJ tenure, monies were taken to the floor of the national assembly in ghana must go bags so many times. Nothing like that has ever happened in GEJ's tenure. Its either you dont remember or you were twoo little then to know

Should we now allow politicians to steal our common wealth because the cost to prosecute them is high....oga discipline is the key which Buhari stand for and I agree with him...if there is discipline among the political elite, stealing of public fund will be on decrease which will enable the government to deal with the few looters unlike what we are experiencing under GEJ..what do you expect gej to do when he is part of the looting...remember, stealing is not corruption and how much did nwobodo stole.

Wow the way you come to your conclusions are rather amazing. People on Twitter have their own circle of influence. I'm not determining their decision but I'm echoing their decisions. I can tell you for a fact that my entire family are for Buhari. I can also tell you for a fact that most families lean the same way politically.

Apart from family influence, some of these guys that are active on Twitter are actually active in real life. Most of them organize rallies, town halls etc. Omojuwa organized a march in January that was quite sizeable. Enough is enough (EiE) started out as a social media campaign. The subsidy protests started from social media. Bring back our girls started from social media. If want to keep believing that the social media has no impact on the realities on ground then I'm sorry.
You are repeating the same fables over and over again. Families can have the same political affiliation but that is mostly determined by the very influential members of the family not by the ones on twitter or Facebook. The subsidy protest gained acceptance because the issue affected everyone, not because of social media influence. Same goes for Bring Back our girls. Social media is just a communication channel. Its the issue that determines how much it influences the public not because its from social media.

Like I said before, social media is important and very key to society today but you still cannot translate that into votes in real life. Even in America, people still vote for many different reasons including color, tribe and stomach infrastructure. Yes, even in America!

- When Jonathan was leading on Social media like Facebook, PDP were very proud and boast of it.
- Immediately, Nigerians stated confronting him with difficult questions and faults in his policies, he ran away.
- The same Jonathan that claims to be modern, is now insulting APC for leading the pack on modern technological platforms.

Buhari/Osinbajo - APC - Nigeria - Progress!
Jonathan has never stopped using his Facebook account. Infact, even with all the APC noise, Jonathan still has one of the highest Facebook follower-ship in Nigeria. But that is not a yardstick for winning the elections. Social media is important and will always be but then you deceive yourself when you think that social media dominance is automatically translated to votes on the ground

Let me ask you a simple question. How many social media celebrities like Omojuwa are one-tenth as popular as Aki and Pawpaw or even MamaG or Saka? How many people know Omojuwa outside social media?

Please next time before you call someone a liar do yourself a favor and do a little research.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/05/ekiti-2014-controversy-opinion-poll/
The link you have posted actually contradicts your point. First, the news item started with the sentence "controversy trailed the news". So even the writer admitted that the media considered that poll as controversial.

Secondly, the poll said Fayose led by 2 points but Fayose won by 16:0

So it doesnt really help your point
PoliticsRe: Elections Are Not Won On Social Media by theoctopus(op): 11:24am On Feb 28, 2015
mrmetoo1:
I keep hearing this social media didn't predict Ekiti thing and I've always ignored it. Social media, internet polls actually predicted a win for Fayose.

I think it was NOI polls and Omojuwa on Twitter posted it the night before. I remember this because I was thinking it couldn't be right. So when you guys say social media doesn't matter, think again.

Again elections don't take place on Twitter but people on Twitter vote and have families. These are not people that are isolated and just dropped from heaven, they have people they talk to. I'm on Twitter and for that reason, news gets to me faster than the regular person. I then go ahead and educate those not as active on Twitter about the news.

You'll agree with me that everyone on Twitter has families and most families share the same views

Please you guys are mixing this thing up, APC is the opposition. APC is still a minority party, how would it be then that are planning to rig massively? The PDP has all the federal might and it's APC that'll win through rigging?? This doesn't add up my guy.
So because you are on twitter, you automatically determine the opinion of your entire family? What hogwash! All Politics is local. People vote for a vast majority of reasons. Also, while the APC is shouting change, they forget that the same rule applies to their state governors!

Secondly, what makes you assume that the opposition cannot rig? When Tinubu paid Justice Salami to give him a favourable judgement, was he not in opposition? Rigging is about planning and funding not whether you are in government or opposition.

Even in the LGA elections APC conducted in Lagos, they lost many LGAs and had to announce a different result at Alausa. Tinubu never plans for a free and fair election but #NeverAgain

Ralphlauren:
Lies!

They should give a breakdown of how the £14m was spent and where the money came from.

The United Kingdom was the government that secured Ibori's conviction (he broke UK's AML &BC laws) and he is currently being jailed at the expense of UK taxpayers like myself, so I don't understand how EFCC would have spent £14m to "convict" Ibori. Bunch of liars!

If they claim to have spent that much, then how much did UK's government spend to secure the conviction of Ibori, his lawyer (who helped in concealing the funds), his wife and his mistress? undecided

I expect Ibori to be tried and convicted by a competent court in Nigeria and then sent to a Nigerian prison for Bribery, Corruption and Money Laundering. Only then can EFCC boast of spending any money on his "conviction". angry
Why are many of you so ignorant? Didnt you read the part that said the money did not come from the FG? He is just telling you how much it cost to prosecute him in the UK and he is right. Go check the cost of prosecuting criminals in Europe and in the UK. You can use google. It cost a lot of money to prosecute cases in democracy. The estimated cost of prosecuting the Guantanmo bay detainees in New York was so enormous that Obama had to shelve the idea. Education is key. Dont be like Buhari
PoliticsElections Are Not Won On Social Media by theoctopus(op): 10:55am On Feb 28, 2015
I have seen APC folks deceiving themselves with calculations and computations from social media and masturbating with such analysis. This is what they also did before the Ondo and Ekiti elections

But they will be greatly flattened come 28th of March because elections are not won on social media. Any true politician will tell you that elections are won polling unit by polling unit. Social media helps disseminate information and spread awareness, but the factors that determine elections are vast and sometimes even mundane or peripheral.

The challenge before APC is how much on-the-ground presence do they actually have. While the formation of APC has increased their spread, it is still fallacy to think that social media dominance can automatically translate into real votes on the ground. Majority of voters out there have no Internet connection and are not on any social media platform. The issues that bother them are not even corruption or the many slogans that APC chants. Like they say in politics: All Politics Is Local

The truth is that the main reason that the APC has invested so much on social media and continue to do so is because they were never really planning to win the elections on a free and fair platform. They were planning to rig big time. The idea was that if they make it look like they have a big chance before the elections, it will be easy for people to accept the results when they rig.

But their rigging plan was busted by the postponement of the elections and now they are lost for options since they had no plan B. The Chatham house Event was an attempt to raise some momentum but they were swept aside by the president showing in Baga.

PoliticsUnpaid Imo Contractors Hold Special Prayer Session On Major Streets by theoctopus(op): 8:14pm On Feb 27, 2015
Local contractors in Imo State under the umbrella of Unpaid Imo Contractors have taken a new dimension in their protest by conducting special prayer sessions on major streets within Owerri the State capital, in a bid to press down their demands from the State government.



They complained that most of their members had suffered untold hardship over the years due to unpaid contract sum of projects executed for the State government.

However, in a quick response, the Imo State Government had maintained that the claims by the group was malicious and politically motivated because the State government was not owing any contractor and if they their claims were true, they should come up with documents to prove their claims.

This is the second time in 3 weeks that this group of local contractors in the state would be taking to the streets of Owerri in a peaceful protest calling on the State government to pay them for jobs executed in the State.

This time around the protest took another dimension as the group gathered on major streets in Owerri to hold a special prayer session.

While speaking to Channels Television, members of the group however, expressed regret over what they described as neglect and marginalization by the government on the part of contractors in the State who had executed various jobs but have not been paid by the State government.

However, the state government described these claims as malicious and a smear campaign against the Okorocha led administration who has done well in developing the State.

The state government called the group for a meeting at the Heroes Square in presence of the Local Government Officers in charge of projects, Commissioner of Police and other security operatives in a bid to find solution to the lingering issue.

While addressing the gathering, the Chief of Staff to the Imo State governor, Sir Jude Ejiogu, who represented the Governor, said the contractors should submit their documents for verification but Mr Udogadi Ononiwu, the chairman of the Unpaid Imo Contractors declined.

The meeting however, turned into a rowdy session as arguments lingered. It took the intervention of representatives from the Commissioner of Police to calm the situation down.

Both parties finally agreed to reschedule in 4 days time after the contract documents have been verified by the State government.
