For god's sake, Oga cash can be carried around for very legitimate business in any form. Suitcases or tankers.

The most important thing is that it is a legitimate business transaction. Electronic transfers are preferred to check mate illicit flows of cash; after all I could funnel funds through legitmste means for an illegitimate business transaction.

kaboninc:
Was the money "looted"?

What was the source of the fund?

Were they budgeted security wide votes?

Were the actually given to PDP members? Do you have proofs?

One thing we must understand is that under very serious circumstances, certain actions will be taken. So using cash to buy weapons under difficult circumstances can be excused.

Thank you.

Permit me to say that this is relatively diversionary.

Could you please let us know how the man on the street has felt this "revelation /cheap political point" scored so far?

Noobshakur:
young man! So loosing $47m over 8months ago is the cause of the queue's at the filling station? unresolved Biafra protests, 600+ days of missing Chibok girls, Boko haram bombing, 260 naira to a dollar, power issues After 7months of tourism, we're now down to looting investigation which ought to be done by EFCC and other intelligent groups....test of credible elections nko? workers being dropped everyday nko? Wake UP na!!!

MizMyColi:
Hehehehe

You lot see women as feeble and emotional even my font type looks emotional, so I'm not surprised that you can't reason beyond that to see that I've asked Valid and Commensensical questions.

As for the scandals rocking certain individuals in our ‎polity, they remain innocent until proven guilty and jailed through a competent court of law.
‎
That said, ‎I believe that some of these funds you lot term looted weren't looted actually... But due to leadership decisions by Jonathan which maybe buhari in his thoughts thinks inadequate, he will term same fraud...
‎
Leaders make decisions especially when under threat security wise...without waiting for house appropriation...(the clandestine purchase of arms and weaponry come to mind).
‎
So legally Dasuki can pass on...but because Buhari wants him down, so he may find it difficult.
‎
I believe some money was stolen but it is far below the figures they are taunting around
‎
Btw,  why is that stories like this come up whenever there's an economic mess coming up... So APC can use it to shield themselves from blame? And to divert attention‎?
‎
What if the aim of all this is for APC to make PDP look bad?‎
Aren't we all playing into their game if we appear self-defeatist?
‎
That's it exactly!! Make PDP the fall guy...when as a matter of fact, there are worse shameless looters in APC masquerading as Navigators, Ministers and Chieftains.
‎
In governance, decision taking whether right or wrong isn't a crime.‎
Whatever decision taken by Jonathan was for Nigeria interest no matter how flawed it may appear.‎
‎
Not taking decision at all is what is a crime.
‎
That's why Jonathan can not go to jail unless under some unscrupulous script by VERY HIGHLY powerful beings greater than him, including Okonjo Iweala.

That said, I will shave all my eyebrows, go without make up for days, and plait irun kiko on my head AND apologise profusely if Buhari prosecutes the likes of Tinubu, OBJ and Amaechi.‎

OZAOEKPE:
THIS COUNTRY TIRE ME SMALL, NA WA FOR NAIJA OOOOOO

MizMyColi:
I don't think this is an entirely good idea.

Mynd44:
All this was done without the knowledge of our hero and the most humane politician of our time.

He must have not known

MizMyColi:
Where is Beremx and Passingshot?

What about TheVoice, StOla and Rawani?

Ehen, Obailala, where are you?

Don't tell me you're avoiding this thread.

Now would be a good time to give Nigerians an expose on the questions asked above.

papoose180:
u got me laughin so hard on these......i gues all of dem ve a hand in arms gate bruhaha too dats why dey are def and dumb

Jakumo:
Now there is a thought ha ha. Well then, to dispel the notion that a dastardly impostor has commandeered my Nairaland account, I hereby declare before this court and with full authority that "Ayam who Ayam, and NOT who Ayam not."

Returning to the here and now, it is indeed a surreal experience to read almost daily news reports describing how Nigerian treasury looters, long revered as un-touchable local celebritiies, are, as we speak, in the proces of being rounded up like so many heads of cattle ready for conversion into fresh meat.

The mass heamorrage of government funds into private pockets will quickly stifle national growth no matter the intentions of any administration, so the most recent crop of parasitic kleptomaniacs responsible for draining state and federal treasuries MUST be encouraged to refund ALL they have stolen, before being sent to prison to serve out hard labor time for grand larceny involving public finances. By this simple expedient, billions of national development dollars will accrue to the government literally overnight, thanks to filthy rich embezzlers from past administrations FINALLY being held accountable, AND made to cough up ALL they have stolen from the public purse.

Just watch and learn, as El Presidente busts a move on those treaury-looting muffugus, and sends them ALL up chit creek without a paddle.

The best is yet to come.

It was a tsunami of sort for the Rivers State chapter of Peoples Democratic Party on Friday as Abuja division of Court of Appeal in a judgment delivered late into the night sacked two senators and seven House of Representatives members elected on the platform of the party in the 2015 general elections.

The Court had kicked off the series of judgments, 14 in all, including some cross appeals on Friday afternoon with the sack of two senators – Osinakachukwu Idoezu (Rivers South-West Senatorial District) and John Olaka-Nwogo (Rivers South-East) based on petitions by their All Progressives Congress, APC challengers in the election.

In the unanimous decision of the three man panel read by Justice Ali Gumel, the Appellate Court voided the elections of the two senators based on what the Justices described as failure of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to comply substantially with the provisions of the Electoral Act and other guidelines for the March 28, 2015 National Assembly Election in the conduct of the polls.

Justice Gumel noted that key elements of the voting process like accreditation of voters, use of card reader machines, voters’ register and other election guidelines in majority of the voting centres, were not adhered to, an action which he said led to manipulations of the process.

He therefore ruled that the elections were conducted without adherence to set guidelines and therefore cannot stand in the face of the law.

The Judge particularly censored INEC for what it described as its failure to ensure strict adherence to the guidelines it set out for the election such as use of card reader.

In a series of abridged rulings for lack of time to read the full judgments, the Justices also annulled the election of Boma Goodhead, the member representing Asari Toru/Akuku Toru Federal Constituency, Hon. Ken Chikere (PDP) Port Harcourt I Federal constituency election, Randolf Brown for Bonny/Degema Federal Constituency, Dum Deekor of Tai/Eleme/Oyigbo Federal Constituency, Betty Apiafi Ahoada East/Abua Federal Constituency, Awaji Inombek Abiante of Andoni/Opobo/Nkoro federal constituency and Dimnamene Deekor of Khana/Gokhana federal constituency.

However, while the three Justices of the Court were unanimous in the decision to annul the elections of six of the representatives, the voiding of the election of Honourable Betty Apiafi was a split 2:1 decision, with Justice Nonyerem Okoronkwo reading a minority judgment in which he disagreed with his two colleagues.

Contrary to the assertions of his colleagues in the majority judgment, Justice Okoronkwo said the petitioner failed to prove his assertions that Ahoada East/Abua federal constituency election was marred by malpractices, violence and wrongful allocation of votes. He therefore held that elections held in the constituency and Rep Apiafi was properly elected.

The same court had earlier on Thursday nullified the election of Blessng Nsiegbe of Port Harcourt federal constituency II, Kingsley Chinda of Obio Akpor Federal Constituency, Boniface Emerangwa of Ikwerre/ Emohua Federal Constituency, Bright Gogo Tamuno of Okrika/Ogu/Bolo Federal Constituency, and Hon. Jerome Eke of Etche/Omuma Federal Constituency.

With the sack of his 12 colleagues, Uche Nnam Obi of Ahoada West//Egbeama/Ndoni Federal Constituency elected on the platform of PDP is the only surviving representatives of Rivers State in the House of Representatives. The court also ordered rerun elections to be conducted into the now vacant senatorial and House of Representatives seats with 60 days.

dockokwus:
Is there any link btw u suing an agency against blocking your account and u being invited to answer for an alleged land fraud/scam?
People trivialize serious issues in this country.What u should ask again is when tompolo inherited that vast expanse of land he sold,is he authorized even if he inherited it by other parties to sell and was it a proper price to pay by the govt?
It's easy to use the d current defence of persecution to distract from weighty allegations because that's the commonest excuse to win some sympathy from gullible followers these days.But enlightened people by their privilege of being enlightened must look beyond this cheap blackmail tactics and query the facts of the substantive allegations.
The only point that needs introspection and to which the PMB govt must be tasked is that apart from Saraki,who even seems to be getting some soft handling from the govt, why is it that it's only PDP members that are getting all these invite, afterall, some APC members even decamped after its victory and benefitted or participated actively in some of d scams now being revealed, so y do they now appear to either be saints or untouchables? This is d only aspect that is unacceptable,otherwise,every invitee must report and answer questions of their actions.

dockokwus:
U are more enlightened than this to bliv this cheap blackmail from tompolo.What u shud ask is if what he is being invited to answer for is anyway related to the court case he has against efcc.

EzeCanada:
I am sure you are aware of this but just trying to be sarcastic. Quote me on this, that's the game plan

EzeCanada:
Sahara and Folawiyo are quite aware of the game. Their licenses would be restored shortly as arranged...I leant that that in politics 101.1

tuale4u:
Op i quoted ur post in my post titled " Buhari is unfair to the North. Buhari is a Betrayal"

najoke:
Gbawe all you write up there na lie. ...all I see is witchhunt. ..witchunt. ..and nothing but WINCHUNT

Buhari is tribalist. ..he is only probing his brothers
my wailing must pass ya own

EzeCanada:
....and now Ifeanyi Uba, the TAN convener

Gbawe:
Fine point you make here my brother. Whatever happened to Northern Solidarity and being your brother's keeper regardless of what he has done wrong? So what if many died because of the looting of these individuals? Does Buhari not know this is the Nigeria way? Why should he be insisting people pay for their corrupt looting of our treasury and wealth? Northerners must now be regretting their vote for "change" because Buhari is now prosecuting their elite rather than giving them each brand new and freshly cut keys to the CBN vaults. This Buhari sef !!! What a nuisance.

\why pour sand for people garri ? Why can't Buhari just learn from GEJ and mind his own business? Why not look the other way and let 'awon boyz' eat? Is school fees in top UK and US schools peanuts? Does the man not understand the billions that must be stolen to fund that lifestyle? Northerners and "Yaribas" una see ya life? The man you voted in is demanding accountability and you are the major victims being hounded left, right and centre. Non of this would be happening under GEJ but you stubborn people insisted on change. Oya enjoy your 'change' then. Yeye people.

sonOfLucifer:
Sorry for mis-wailing.

sonOfLucifer:
Sources say they were trying to buy heaven. Apparently, church visits and planting facial imprints on the walls of Jerusalem weren't enough to win Boko Haram.

dunkem21:
None of them is from the SE ..


..proudly 97% above Corruption

sonOfLucifer:
This witch-hunting must stop. Until I see Igbo names on that list, I will not take it serious.

OZAOEKPE:
someone wants to be a wailer #dancing shoki#

sonOfLucifer:
At least our hero was fair to all regions. Nobody was probed for corruption, not one person. Why will you catch one thief and leave other thieves?
Is this the change Nigerians voted for? Northerners, you see your life. You voted your brother now all your sons and brothers are playing EFCC music. Buhari is a betrayer.
