Some jokers will ask us not to.believe SR.

Infact if SR says Jesus is coming back tomorrow, I will believe it.

lol


Sahara reporters still remains the only reliable media house in Nigeria.

plaetton:
First of all, I am for capital punishment for any type of economic sabotage, whether the person is from village or from Timbuktu.

However, this lady has been forced severally to come out in public to clarify these issues.

The funds were extra-budgetary funds from newly returned abacha loot.
I believe the president had discretion on how such monies are spent.

The funds were originally earmarked for infrastructure.
Dasuki presented a case for security and military spending , because of the urgent nature of the situation.

She insisted that only part of the funds, not all, be approved for security and defence.
Jonathan and the committee agreed.
She went ahead to disburse the funds.

I still do not see what she did wrong.

Again, the reason for my anger is because, if we can be honest with each other, we have seen this type of media vilification of female ministers in the past.
Kema Chikwe, Stella Odua, and now Ngozi Okonjo-Igweala.
Is it a coincidence that they just happen to be women, and from the south east?

Well, I hope not.

you are still saying the same thing ..
why didn't she just tell us she spent the money on security? That's serap point ..they didn't say she did a bad thing by spending the money on security ..

are you being a sexist now? Im gonna ask again, what about the likes of bankole, farooq lawan, tafa balogun and the rest that were vilified in the past? Oh yeah what about patricial etteh? One of the most vilified female politician in history of Nigerian politics?

nortcentrallord:
Please, go through that. You might get help there.

what is this dunce saying ?

Get off my mention. Troll.

plaetton:
Far from it , my dear friend.

I have ZERO ethnic bigotry in my blood.

But I am so angry about how the media and tabloids are bullying and harassing the former minister of finance.

From our experience in this Nigeria, her being singled out for villification is not unconnected with the fact that she is woman and a southeasterner.

Dasuki presented an urgent case for funds to fight boko hara.
Jonathan and others concured.
She made the funds available.
Simple.

If Dasuki and others misused the funds, they should be held fully accountable.

I continue to lament that this is a very strange country where heroes and heroines are calumnized, while fo.ols and scallywags are celebrated.

you still don't get it ... She was a minister of finance, One of the important post in the country. people expect that she supposed to know anything or everything that goes on or off with our money and should be able to give proper account....either she is from north, or south west or north central, people don't care. Imagine if dasusuki is from south east, the story would have been, he's been vilified because he is from south east Instead of asking if dasuki diverted the money or not ..

Serap didnt say she did a wrong thing by spending the money on security , but why did she lie that she used money for infrastructure ... What is she hidding? Besides, why didnt she pass through proper channel which is the national assembly?

if you want to stay a hero, you don't dine with the villain ..

nortcentrallord:
Read through your comment again, correct your simple tenses before I can argue with you. I don't waste time on people who find it hard to make simple construction because comprehending the real shit becomes a "hill climb" for them. Anyways, I refer you to Iweala's defense of the lame accusation. Am still waiting for your police to go and arrest her or efcc to invite her for questioning. BUZU.

what makes you think i wanna argue with you ? Go to bed kid ..

nortcentrallord:
Stop Yapping like a fool. What wrong has she committed? Can't you use your brain? Even the US has scale of preference as a nation and security tops most as a nation. If she didn't perform her duty, you cry, if she does you still cry. Why don't you save yourselves by comiting suicide so you can rid yourselves of seeing her and her family excel. Now, go get a rope.

mumu .. Stop lamenting like dolt ..

Why is she sacred of telling serap what she initially used the money for .. She told serap she used the money for infrastructures, Infrastructure suddenly became security over night? What is she hiding?

Why told us you bought bread with our money then suddenly bread became beans overnight .. A minister of finance for that matter..

plaetton:
This is Stuuuuupid.

At the height of the boko haram manace , this same id.iots were crying that Jonathan was not doing enough to fight boko haram.

Now that it has been shown that Jonathan was genuinely committed to fighting boko haram manace in the North, why are the people that were given the money to fight boko haram not being held responsible ?

Why are these cowardly idi.ots picking on the former minister of finance?
Is it because she is a woman and and a south Easterner?

Security comes first before anything else in governance.
That fact is obvious to many Nigerians who have been victims of boko haram.

How the money was spent is what we should all focus on, not who approved it.

your post would have made sense if not for the ethnic colouration you gave it ..

Are the likes of dasuki and bafarawa also from south east .

You are amongst the few I respected in nairaland especially on religious board .. Please don't make me think you are just another ediotic bigot ..
Thanks .


By the way, you didn't read the post.. Serap said she didn't tell them she spent the money on security according to the report they gave last month..they didn't say she did a bad thing by spending it on security .. its a matter of telling us what you use oour money for .. If you buy bread with our money, don't say you bought beans ..

chukwudi44:
Don't mind the fools !! What is road and water if you are not alive to enjoy it!! Security is very very important and is a key human necessity!! Those waiting for NOI to apologize would wait for a very long time

why didn't she tell serap the money was for security ? Why is that so hard for her?..no one would have asked for her head Oh yeah she is probably part of the security scam ..

nortcentrallord:
I guess such money should be banked or kept safely while innocent Nigerians are killed up north by the beast born out of a certain religion. She didn't deny releasing the money, did she? Or is security not an important issue? You hollow headed lots should be asking what happened to the fund after it was released. Stop draging the woman down because you guys are already down. Even the educated once just talk like they have never seen the four walls of a school. I pity Nigeria and those so called leaders we have today. Mtchewwwww.

shey bi the security money now has been diverted to gej's failed reelection bid ... You head no correct at all ..

Why did mod push this crap to frontpage when it's not even from a real source?

blackboy:
SERAP should read carefully her statement from her media aid earlier. She did acknowledge it was for development but there can be no development when war is ongoing. Arms for the Nigerian Army is imprtant if they needed arms to win the war then why not provide the money to end the war and development the north. Or perhaps she would have preferred Julius Berger to go the Yobe or Borno to build roads and bridges with the war ongoing and our soldiers to be going to fight with their bare hands.

The problem is from all indication the person who received the money for weapons did not use it all for weapons instead a campaign in going on to smear the former ministers name.

I work in a bank I pay a customer and he uses the money for a crime. The way forward is to harrass me or have the customer arrested?

Seems some people want to waste 4 years or gain cheap popularity by blaming and witch hunting. Okay lets see .

why didn't she say that when serap initially asked how abacha's loot was spent ..She didnt even mention that more 30% of the stolen money was spent on security .. She just said they used it on infrastructure that we didn't see ..

If this dasuki case didnt come to light, we probably wouldnt have known about that now ...that's what serap is saying ...

Yes

Sweetlemon:
My dear leave Pastor alone. Just mark my words, during his burial you will see all his children

Sweetlemon:
And all their kids are from the same woman? Chai! Na wa for you o.

Most Nigerian first class kings are more educated than some professors FYI.

lol yes ... I just gave you olubadan .. Google olubadan now ... He is almost a pastor self ..

ModiKen:
Yes I do get ur point.

BTW, the Queen of England has got charities to help the less priviledged, does the Ooni of Ife have such too?

hr just became oonii ... Let's see what he will achieve during his time as the king .. Afterall, he is gonna be there till he dies ..

ModiKen:
Preservation of culture, yes I do appreciate that especially in this age where westernization is slowly eating into our African cultures and traditions in the name of globalization.

But with all the hype given to this Ooni stuff, I thought he wld have a more direct impact on the lives of the people of Ife in particular and the Yorubas in general, like build schools, assist widows, run a charity to cater for the needy in the Yoruba land, e.t.c

Anyway, I'm not Yoruba was just curious to know why the Ooni title is hyped this way.

you still dont get it ..
The hype came from the fact that oni is one of the most respected kings in Yoruba land ...
People wanna know everything that goes on in there..

Queen of england will not give you free education or build schools or all those things you mentioned up their for the british just like ooni ... Its the job of prime ministers and public office holders ...but still people wanna know everything that goes on in the palace. Remember when the prince of england had his wedding? It was like Obama won election ..every news outlet in the world was awash with the news ... Imagine if the queen dies today... Till next year, all the news you will be hearing will be about the queen..

Shey you get my point now?

Sweetlemon:
The world, not Africa. Stop deceiving yourself.

Mention 5 African Kings with only one wife let's see. To make matters worse this one has only one child. A girl for that matter! My dear, leave that thing. Even if Kabiyesi does not marry again, EVEN IF, he will have mistresses that will bear him more kids.

most yoruba christian kings have one oloris ... E.g olubadan ... I agreed that african s have not completely moved away from that expect few educated ones..

But this oni is educated, and also a christian I think ...

anigbajumo:
I knew this will happen, It will be a difficult race for Accord party by 2019,Akala want to relegate his boss (Ladoja) from politics.


PDP not even in you the race at all here in Oyo state,with Akala in APC i swear no other political party again will rule Oyo state in the next 12years.pls if you are not from Oyo state dnt quote me and spew trash.

akala has a very huge support base in ogbomosho ..

Any other party is done for it in Oyo for now ..

EasternLeopard:
This is not Sambisa forest


I see an urban centre where the car is


The fighters are not anywhere a forest

ignorant people everywhere ... Why not Google sambisa

ModiKen:
Dude u missed the point.

I don't care if the Ooni of Ife has a convoy longer than the "China wall" or if he is a "god".

I am merely asking, how has this traditional position benefitted the Yoruba people?

What development has been recorded in Yoruba land as a direct effect from Ooni of Ife's throne.

I am not Yoruba, so please enlighten me if there is any way Yoruba people have enjoyed one form of development or the other from the Ooni of Ife past and present.

Cos if there isn't, this is a waste of time IMO.

its called preserving our culture .. All those are the jobs of governors ..and for tourist attraction

Queen of england is still the most reserved monarch in the world but does she do any of those thing you posted up there? No? Cos that is the work of prime minister ...

Sweetlemon:
Just one daughter?

Ha! My dear Olori start preparing for another olori soonest.

the world has moved beyond that

lagdmark:
Why Yoruba people keep having small gods and worshiping them even till today ,they worship Tinubu and co also.
We in Delta state we worship only the Big God in Heaven and respect our Elders

we yoruba s cherish our culture ... You worshipping big god in heaven given to you by the Jews and Arabs shows you really have no respect for your culture ...

By the way, its just a tittle. No one is worshipping anybody. Even the ooni is a Christian/muslim

deewhone:
Honestly, its spiritual

everything is spiritual to a Blackman .. Forgetting a man can die anytime from anything ..

Good game

Good come back .

Obijulius:
That this topic was moved to front page is evidence on the desperate nature of one Nigeria proponents.

This is a tactic to divert away from their bashing in the oil rich Bayelsa state.

Nigeria is finished. No amount of falsehood can stop it this time.

Oil prices will drop until the government crumbles in frustration.

By next year, Nairaland will soon be flooded with topics about cocoa prices...una never see anything.

hahahahaha see frustration..

Lamentation of iPod tout season 1 :DD

Richeze:

Joke's on you ..

olagamalin:
