You were like this 3 years ago. You probably did not notice.
Nigeria has been on this downward trajectory since the British left in 1960.
If you are talking about the current economic malaise,Jonathan owns this baby.
do you think all the fraudulent acts and acts of mismanagement do not have implications?
Nigeria lived beyond hers means,the leadership stole most of her wealth, did not spend the little not stolen on anything fruitful and the devil has come to collect it's debt.

You better carry that baby to your house or the present occupant of Aso rock and leave Jonathan alone. They have programmed your sense to so believe all the dummy sold to you since they took over. I am trying to imagine your level of education and would be surprised if it's beyond OND.

Canada held their election in October 2015 and the new Prime minister was sworn in November 2015. Currently the Canadian dollar is at it's lowest value in the past 13 years and the economy is not fantastic but you never hear the present liberal government blame or refere to the last government as the reason for the fall of their currency, or any other present economic situation rather they have started working and implementing what they promised the electorate during the campaign.

Instead of your lord Buhari to own up that his views of Nigeria through yesterday's lens and thinking that he could apply yesterday's solution to the present day problems is not working and seek genuine help beyond his almajiri circle, he is busy blaming jonathan knowing buffons like you will keep repeating the chorus.

I am also looking for Chukwuemeka Chikelu.

HopeAtHand:
If u are an Ikwerreman, you should know that we are divided between Wike and Amaechi. Wike does not appeal to 100% of the Ikwerre population. I would have love to have him there but it is quite immoral, considering The other ethnicities in Rivers.

That is the card Amaechi is playing that it is immoral as if he loves other ethnicities more than they love themselves but why did he support Buhari from Housa/fulani that has dominated power for decades, against an Ijaw man/south south minority that had never tested power in the past. Dakuku is a gentle man and likable person put his being governor is a continuation of Amaechi's government. Let other ethnicities/riverine areas present their choice because Dakuku is Amaechi's choice and it will be a slap on the face of Rivers/South South people to reward Amaechi through Dakuku despite Amaechi's betrayal and sponsoring of Buhari with Rivers money apart from the insults he was directing at Jonathan.

OP in as much as I believe PDP/Wike will still win should there be a rerun, I want to correct you on point A as I am quite familiar with Rivers geopolitics. Amaechi is from Ubima/Ikwerre local government area while Wike is from Obio/Akpo local government area where he was once the Chairman. Both are of the same Ikwerre ethnic stock though.

Tycoflu:
wrong heading Op. I was looking for where she stated that 82 million naira was spent.

Maybe you are reading something else. It was even stated in the hand over note Amaechi left that is why they have not come out to deny outrightly.

Junior66:
Corruption aside, GEJ did a lot.

Even the corruption is overhyped. We will see many things when the trial of the so called looters begin.

Brozo1:
We should not forget the fact that PMB is a retired General, such a compensation for his destroyed cars from the office of the National Security Adviser could only be seen as an entitlement due to him. How many of our public office holders have collected cars from politicians for no work done at all outside the monetization policy? Let sleeping dogs lie.

It is the Office of the Secretary of Government of the Federation that takes care of such compensations or entitlements as u may call it. Now I do not see anything wrong with the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) replacing such vehicles or even giving him a new car without the attack since it has to do with security and the office of NSA just like many high positions like the Central bank governor's have what is called 'intervention funds' which they can use their discreation in applying. It is also the discreation Dasuki applied when he compensated the newspaper houses when their publications were seized my the army.The problem now is that the present government has made it seem like every money coming from the office of the NSA was meant for arms purhase and many people are swallowing the dummy. Money for security purpose is not neccessarily money to buy arms.

DaBullIT:
Oga , it was declared in his asset



and it's his entitlement as ex president, Every other ex president got bullet proof cars as well ,

Do they get their entitlements through the Office of the Secretary of Government of the Federation or Office of the National Security Adviser? The country can only move foward when we do away with sentiments and call a spade what it is.

Goke7:
you are just making noise here, why don't you volunteer yourself as one of their witnesses in court to state that the money was actually expended for the reasons you claim in your post.

Even the government is not denying that the money was used for arms and to fight insurgency. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/12/alleged-2bn-arms-deal-probe-efcc-to-summon-okonjo-iweala/

They just want to keep you occupied with negativity and not ask questions about where the country is headed. They diminish the positive of the past administration and magnify the negative or even manufature the ones that do not exist.

etibaba:
Humans are extremely wicked $47m?

Arms purchase and security matter is it the same as buying akara? How much in cash was seized by the South African government? How much were they paying the mercinaries?

Goke7:
Gbam, madam NOI don enter, dasuki is not that silly, he won't go down alone

Dasuki is not even going down if tried in the open and transparently. Some of you are so gullible and easily fooled and the government is capitalising on that. What makes you think Dasuki is going down? Because the man said he 'thinks the money is meant for the PDP'. What makes him think so? I see another sergent Rogers that will recant later. The government was buying arms in cash through the black market. The mercinaries and foreign instructors that were contracted were being paid in cash and in dollars. Also, most people do not know that at some point, it was the Nigerian government that was funding the hadian and Nigerien forces that were battling BH from their own sides of the borders. This government will not say that because because all they want is for you to believe that 'money meant for arms purchase was misused'. You should also know that security money is not all about buying arms.

eakenbor:
That is if he is not in prison by then.

Yes in that prison cell where they gave birth to you.

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari dupes the U.S.
By Bruce Fein -
Wednesday, November 18, 2015

With the glitter of fool’s gold, Nigeria’s recently elected President Muhammadu Buhari arrived in the United States in July uttering time-worn democracy vows to President Barack Obama and his administration. Among other things, he pledged at the United States Institute for Peace to combat graft with procedures that would be “fair, just, and scrupulously follow due process and the rule of law, as enshrined in our constitution.”

Skepticism is in order—a conclusion reinforced by the ongoing persecution of of former National Security Advisor Sambo Dasuki for alleged money laundering and illegal possession of firearms.

But first some background.

Mr. Buhari initially tasted power as a military dictator following a coup de tat in 1983. His dictatorship was earmarked by chilling human rights abuses. Take the word of Nigerian Nobel Prize laureate Wole Soyinka.

Among other things, Mr. Soyinka highlights Mr. Buhari’s draconian edicts, exemplified by Decree 20 under which the judicial murders of Nigerian citizens Lawal Ojuolape, Bernard Ogedengbe, and Bartholomew Owoh were authorized. Mr. Obedengbe was executed for a crime that did not carry the death penalty at the time it was committed in violation of the universal revulsion of ex post facto laws.

Soyinka adds that these crimes were executed in defiance of pleas from virtually every sector of Nigeria and the international community—a grisly precedent for subsequent dictator Sani Abasha’s hanging of Ogoni activist Ken Sara-Wiwi in contempt of international opinion.

Mr. Buhari turned the nation into a slave plantation, and forbade the slaves from any discussion of their enslavement—especially a return to democracy. He favored the north over the south, dividing rather than unifying Nigeria after the convulsions of the 1967-70 Biafran War. He lent support to the introduction of Sharia law in the North—a major source of strife and disharmony.

Mr. Buhari’s brutal military dictatorship was overthrown in 1985. Mr. Dasuki played a key role. Dictators do not forget. Fast forward to today.

After celebrating fairness, due process, and the rule of law last July to win the good will of the United States, Mr. Buhari returned to Nigeria to mock all three in a vendetta against the Dasuki, the immediate past National Security Adviser.

He placed Mr. Dasuki under house arrest. He confiscated his passport. He charged him with firearms and money laundering violations. He sought a secret trial to prevent independent scrutiny.

He opposed Mr. Dasuki’s pretrial application to the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja for permission to receive urgent medical treatment for cancer in London, but it was nonetheless granted.

Justice Adeniyi Ademola explained that an accused is presumed innocent before trial, and that a citizen’s health is paramount before the law. Mr. Buhari was ordered to release Mr. Dasuki’s international passport.

Mr. Buhari defied the order. He put Mr. Dasuki’s house under siege, a microcosm of the Bosnian Serb siege of Sarajevo. Mr. Dasuki returned to court. Justice Ademola reaffirmed his order, asserting “My own orders will not be flouted.”

Mr. Buhari has not yet budged. As a military dictator in 1985, he similarly seized the international passport of Chief Obafemi Awolowo to thwart his travel for medical treatment, which caused his death in 1987. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Much is riding on Mr. Dasuki’s case. If Mr. Buhari flouts Justice Ademola’s order with impunity, judicial independence will be fatally compromised and Nigeria’s embryonic democratic dispensation will be stillborn. The judiciary is the only branch capable of checking limitless executive power—the bane of Africa.

Members of Nigeria’s National Assembly and Senate have been reduced to playing the roles of extras in cinematic extravaganzas.

Further, President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration accepted a peaceful transfer of power to President Buhari, a laudable landmark in African politics. If Mr. Buhari is permitted with impunity to destroy his political opponents like Mr. Dasuki with tyrannical methods, peaceful transfers of power everywhere on the Continent will become problematic. The incumbents’ risk of political and personal impalement at the hands of their would-be successors will be too high.

The United States should be insisting on independent human rights observers to monitor Mr. Dasuki’s prosecution and trial, and demanding that Mr. Buhari honor his vow to follow due process and the rule of law. The stakes are too high to remain silent.

Nigeria has a material in you but you were only carried away by lawlessness of Nigeria and corrupt politicians

Please read your comment again to check if you are making any sense.

By Jide Ajani

Former President Goodluck Jonathan is to unveil the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation next year.

As part of preparations for this, the former Nigerian leader has already sent out scores of letters to world leaders informing them of his determination to be part of the process for the attainment of global development, security, peace, as well as make the world a better place.

It is expected that the Foundation will take off in the third quarter of next year.

Contrary to the impression created last week that President Jonathan sought the exclusive help of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Sunday Vanguard learnt that the letter written to the latter was the same written to Nigeria’s serving and former heads of state.

President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, along with former heads of State – General Abdulsalami Abubakar, General Ibrahim Babangida, General Yakubu Gowon, Alhaji Shehu Shagari and Ernest Shonekan – all got copies of the same letter written to Obasanjo.

Part of the letter reads: “Now well-rested, I am back to work to continue to serve and dedicate my life to promoting peace and prosperity for all…

“Furthermore, I will be devoting the rest of my life and energy to making the world a better place. I am currently finalizing efforts to set up The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation. More details on the work of the Foundation will be available at the launch, which I believe should take place by the 3rd quarter of 2016.”

The same letter was sent to the following:

-All serving African President’s and heads of Government and key global world leaders

-All Nigerian former Heads of State and vice President’s

-Diplomatic missions in Nigeria addressed to their ambassadors

-Many international agencies including World Bank, EU UNDP

-Key multinationals and some prominent CSO and prominent politicians

Sunday Vanguard learnt that whereas some letters are still being dispatched, acknowledgements are being received from those who have already received copies of theirs.

A sample of the letter

Dear ……..

On Friday, 29th May, 2015; I completed my term of office as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and successfully handed over government to President Muhammadu Buhari. I immediately proceeded on a long deserved break; I have enjoyed a delightful time with my family and close friends.

Now, well rested, I am back to work; to continue to serve and dedicate my life to promoting peace and prosperity for all. I have set up an office where I can be reached and members of my staff are poised to serve you and respond to your enquiries at all times.

Furthermore, I will be devoting the rest of my life and energy to making the world a better place. I am currently finalising efforts to set up The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation. More details on the work of the foundation will be available at the launch, which I believe should take place by the 3rd quarter of 2016.

As I start this new phase of my life of renewed service to humanity, I look forward to your continuous support, counsel and cooperation.

Please do accept the assurance of my esteemed regards.

Ameachi is a giver of bribe not a collector of it.

He collects only 'appreciation'

sameer1212:
Goodluck Jonathan is a complete Gentle man. I don't know how he end up surrounding himself with bad people like FFK,Fayose,Alison Madueke,Ngozi Okojo wella,Abba moro,Stella Odua and his "WIFE" PEJ. Nawa ooo.

And what makes you think you are better than the people you mentioned their names?

GenBuhari:
Says a lot about his shady way for reasoning.

Personally, I don't like the man, I think he would not pass a "cleanness" probe.

I concor.

GenBuhari:
ok.
Notwithstanding he has never shown any support to Buhari himself, and it is Buhari who is appointing ministers not Tinubu.

He did sometimes but not overtly as he did his 'asiwaju' because he thought 'asiwaju' will be running the show.

GenBuhari:
I do not recall Pat Utomi ever joining APC.

I only recall that he has never backed Buhari during any elections, Buhari knows that.

My gut feeling is that he can not pass Buhari's cleanness test.

Pat Utomi had said publicly even in the interview below that he is a card carrying member of APC and was always singing 'asiwaju's' praises hoping to be remembered.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/02/soludo-buhari-jonathan-elections-pat-utomi/

philantoxx:
despite all pat utomi's eye service activities lately.

Utomi is foolish. Firstly, be belongs to the 'asiwaju' camp of the APC thinking they have the clout to make him minister but we see how the Buhari camp is decimating them gradually by appointing those that have one way or the other fallen out with Tinubu. Secondly, the 'behind the scene' deciders in Buhari's government are El Ruffai and Sanusi lamido Sanusi and the later as well as other core notherners will never want to see Utomi near this government considering the testimonies he gave at the court during Atuche's trial where he said that Yar' Adua and Sanusi planned to steal bank PHB from the original owners in order to further their northern agenda of dorminating the financial sector.

http://www.punchng.com/news/atuche-victim-of-sanusis-interest-in-bank-phb-utomi/

Serves him right IMO.

guiddoti:
you think is in Nigeria where money is not value until it is billions and where stealing is not corruption.

£27k has enomous value for people like you that end up doing cleaning job in the UK. The amount even if it was seized from five different individuals is not even up to Deziani's take home pay when she was Director with Shell petroleum development company before she ever joined the government of Yar'adua.

One of the problems Amaechi had with former governor Peter Odili was his claim that Odili withdrew the certificate of ocupancy of the house he acquired in old GRA forces avenue. I personally know this crooks house on eagle island. Keep deceiving your supporters along lagos Ibadan axis. They have already crowned you the general of their common sense.

You this stupid idiot coming here to post your trade mark stupidity again. You should go and see how to better your life and feed your hungry family instead of advertising ur idiocy.

Eziachi:
What is he is disqualified by the judgement?

On what basis will he be disqualified?
The case has nothing to do with wether he is qualified or not to contest rather it has to do with the credibilty of the election. That is why I said it is different from Omehia's because, Omehia was disqualified simply because he never contested in the party(PDP) primary in the first place.

Aromas:
I just dey pity dis guy called Wike, I hope is mata no end like Celestial Omehia

It will never end like Omehia's case because the scenerios are different. In this case, the tribunal can only cancel the result and order for a new election and WIKE WILL STILL WIN.

aribs:
The company is no more in Nigeria! They left Nigeria after operational infractions in Nigeria that made Nigeria government revoke its license! Stop this Lilliputian lies! How do you declare a share by same company that is not situated in the country! The company was never listed in NSE!
Bu why is it so easy publish foolishness and have foolish people believe? how hard is it to cross check facts before rushing to post or publish same? why cant people who claim to be educated walk up to CAC and ask for these facts instead of printing libelous crap? the irony of it is you get exposed for not thinking properly . no wonder the failure rate for university entrance examinations are high... to research is so new to some people. they wait for a deluded person to post gibberish and then start commenting on what they absolutely have no clue about . education is indeed in a sorry state in Nigeria. ok shares discoverers , go to court please. Jeez!

When did they leave Nigeria? To the best of my knowledge they only withdrew from operating in the domestic market but still operate internationally from Nigeria. In any case, Whether the company operates from Russia or Togo, he is obligated to declare his assets whether quoted by NSE or not. You are the one displaying ignorance here. Afterall, the VP declared the property he owns outside Nigeria and his foreign accounts.

[quote author=coolheed post=37750285][/quote]The point he was making is that it is not possible for a bank to give you a loan of N27m if you do not operate an account with them backed up with strong collateral. Buhari claimed he borrowed the money from FIRST BANK but now claims he has just one bank account with UBA with N30m. Does it add up?

WisdomCanada:
if the election is conducted times over in Rivers state, Wike go still win. Tribunal can never pronounce Peterside winner cos he never won, he is just fighting a lost battle.

Peterside has already won in APC newspapers and sahara distorters.

It will be very sad if this Buhari administration start interfering with the courts and remove the confidence the last administration has been able to bring back in the electoral process. As usually the case, those who are supposed to speak up against this festering evil will pretend as if nothing is wrong because it is in their favor or againts persons they dont like but with time when the monster consolidates and turns against them they start running from pillar to post. It happend during Babangida, Abacha etc.
