Troops deploy as Nigerian oil state election quashed Tue 15 Apr 2008, 16:58 GMT [-] Text [+] By Austin Ekeinde PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria, April 15 (Reuters) - Troops deployed on the streets of the main city in Nigeria's oil-producing Bayelsa state on Tuesday after a court quashed the election of its governor and ordered a fresh vote within 90 days. An appeals court in the southern oil city of Port Harcourt annulled the election of Bayelsa Governor Timipre Sylva of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP), the tenth such ruling since nationwide elections a year ago marred by irregularities. Judge Saka Ibiyeye said Sylva and other defendants could not prove an election for governor actually took place because they had failed to produce an authentic results sheet. "The failure of the respondents to produce this form and prove beyond reasonable doubt that election (was) held is indeed fatal to their matter," Ibiyeye said in his ruling. The streets of Bayelsa's capital city, Yenagoa, were largely empty as soldiers deployed in armoured personnel carriers after the court ruling. Pockets of opposition supporters celebrated in some parts of the town. http://africa.reuters.com/country/NG/news/usnL15712562.html |

A decent woman with good upbringing and morals would ask the man to sort things out with his woman; find out why they can't get pregnant or resolve their issues. A decent woman would not get involved with another woman's man. But no, you are involved with a man in a committed relationship and have the guts to come and brag about it. You have done nothing but bring shame to yourself. 1 Like |

Seun:Seun, I have lived in the west for over 10 years and the pictures of africa that I see on CNN 99% of the time are pictures of places like ajegunle and mushin in Lagos. Even when President Clinton was in Abuja, the footage of abuja shown on tv were the outskirts that looks really crappy, again similar to ajegunle. CNN intentionally shows crappy pictures of africa to make us look backward, uncivilized and grossly underdeveloped. I wish you were here to see things for yourself. |

I like the way Iyabo was chjarged but i suspect a little tribalism in these arrests because it seems that YaraduaHummm, I was really surprised at the rate James Olotu was fired when he was insisting that $4 billion was spent on NIPP and not $10 billion as stated by the President. At the end of the day, the AGF and CBN confirmed Olotu's figure. He is yet to be re-instated. |

[quote author=Mr. Pataki link=topic=125952.msg2134592#msg2134592 date=1207730186]Yar 'Adua himself has done the worst corruption by still remaining in power even when it is glaring that his election was based on fraud and acts of terrorism during the last polls conducted. While I like the way, he is trying to handle the situation now, his election as the President of Nigeria is fraud and smells of the most irritating odor to any common sane man. If he wants to fight corruption, let him do so with a clean slate.[/quote]Well, the tribunal said he was duly elected at this point is see how the supreme court is going to rule on the case. MC Usman:Since when did Westerners control 70% of the federal civil service Scopium:True, but don't forget Tafa Balogun had to forfeit his loot and did some jail time and DSP Alamiesiegha had to forfeit billions of naira in exchange for his freedom. So all hope is not lost. |

[quote author=Mr. Pataki link=topic=125952.msg2133216#msg2133216 date=1207679544]I have stopped wasting my time with all this charges. At the end, all you get is they are asked to pay a fine or it finally dies into the history of unresolved charges. Total waste of time.[/quote]Pataki, I understand your stand given our past history regarding "fighting corruption", but it appears Yar 'Adua really means business. Even Iyabo, a seating senator that many regard as an "untouchable", has been charged to court. I think this is really unprecedented. |

Although it has been shown and stated over and over that Prof Grange did not receive a single kobo of the loot, I still don't understand why she signed off on the contracts sent to her by the permanent secretary despite a presidential directive that all unspent monies by federal ministries should be refunded back to the treasury. Her approval despite the presidential order is what I really have a problem with. The permanent secretary and other top civil servants in the health ministry are simply crooks. We just have to wait and see if these people will eventually go to prison or not. |

More on this from Vanguard N300m scam: Grange, Aduku, 11 others charged E-mail Written by Ise-Oluwa Ige Wednesday, 09 April 2008 *Remanded in EFCC custody till April 11 THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday arraigned former Health Minister, Prof Adenike Grange; former Minister of State for Health, Gabriel Yakubu Aduku, an architect; and 11 others on a 56-count charge of graft involving about N300 million. But the name of the daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Iyabo, which was mentioned as having partaken in the graft, was missing on the list of the accused persons charged to court yesterday. The EFCC told the court that Iyabo was currently at large and could not be arrested for prosecution but would be arrested and brought to justice once found. Iyabo, according to count 56 of the charges between December 2007 and March 2008 in Abuja while serving as chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health, dishonestly received the sum of N10 million belonging to the Federal Government having reason to believe that same was stolen. Her action is said to have constituted an offence punishable under Section 317 of the Penal Code Act Cap 352, Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) Abuja. Other accused persons arraigned by the anti-graft agency were the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Health, Prof. Simon Ogamdi; Director of Administration, Dr. H.B. Oyedepo; and Director of Finance, Hanafi The Great Prophet. Also arraigned were another Director, Mr. M. S. Hamid; a Chief Accountant, Abdulrahaman Ambali; a Principal Administrative Officer, Mr. Donald Ekanem; and a Principal Transport Officer, Mr. Donatus Iyang. The rest were Olomo J A, Obanla Emmanuel Olatunbosun, Henry Onyeagwalam and Edem Augustine Bassey. Of the 56-count charge, Prof Grange’s name appeared in 15. Adiku’s name also appeared in 15 counts while the name of the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Health, Prof Ogamdi featured in 40. The EFCC said it had an iron cast case against them. Mr James Binang, the lead prosecution counsel, told Vanguard that the commission had lined up 17 witnesses to testify against the accused persons.

Nigeria ex-president's daughter charged with graft Tue 8 Apr 2008, 16:45 GMT http://africa.reuters.com/wire/news/usnL08848853.html ABUJA, April 8 (Reuters) - A daughter of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo and two former health ministers were charged in court on Tuesday with embezzling around 470 million naira ($4 million) of public health funds. President Umaru Yar'Adua, who took over from Obasanjo in May after winning a turbulent election, has pledged a campaign of "zero tolerance" against graft in Africa's top oil exporter, which is rated among the world's most corrupt states. With a parliamentary commission probing allegations that billions of dollars were squandered on shady unfinished power projects during Obasanjo's rule, calls have increased for the former president to be called to testify in the enquiry. The charges brought by prosecutors at the High Court in the capital Abuja against his daughter, Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, who chairs the Senate health committee, were the first to be made against a member of Obasanjo's family since he stepped down. The two ex-ministers charged, Adenike Grange and Gabriel Aduku, were forced to resign last month after the scandal over misuse of Health Ministry funds emerged in February. They had been serving as the minister and minister of state for health and were the first cabinet casualties of the new administration. The former ministers and nine top health officials pleaded not guilty in court to the 54-count charges levelled against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which says a total of 471 million naira was embezzled. Obasanjo-Bello, who was not present in court, was accused of illicitly receiving 10 million naira of the money. In comments to Nigerian media, she has denied wrongdoing, saying she collected the money to pay for the travel expenses of the Senate health committee members for a visit to Ghana. The judge ordered the other 11 accused to be remanded in EFCC custody. He adjourned their case until Friday when he would hear applications for bail and set April 29 as the trial date. YEAR-END SPENDING SPREE Nigerian media reported in February the EFCC had questioned the ex-ministers and senior officials for allegedly spending several hundred million naira of the ministry's 2007 budget on dubious contracts and Christmas gifts before the year-end. This spending contravened a direct order from Yar'Adua for all government agencies to return unspent monies from the 2007 budget to the federal treasury in a new anti-graft drive. Under the previous administration, government officials had often embarked on end-year spending sprees to exhaust all budgeted funds, with large amounts of money being shared out by top government officials as bonuses. Yar'Adua, who has already acquired a reputation as a cautious and low-key ruler, has come under domestic and international pressure to crack down hard on corruption. Foreign investors and donors are closely watching Nigeria's efforts to improve management of public funds and oil profits. Yar'Adua has said he will protect nobody and would let the EFCC go after anyone found to be corrupt. The anti-corruption body has charged eight out of the 36 state governors from the previous administration, including two of Yar'Adua's main financiers during last year's election campaigning. The prosecutions went ahead after the targeted governors' tenures ended in May and they lost their immunity. Some anti-graft campaigners fear the trials will drag on for years since the cases have hardly made any progress over the past few months and the ex-governors have been freed on bail.
