Is it possible for any police man to arrest that ROGUE David Mark or any of the 109 THIEVES looting the treasury with him? No matter the offence. Oh my, What a failed nation.

Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) issued a public apology after being arrested for drunken driving in Alexandria, Va., early Sunday morning.
Jody Donaldson, a spokesperson for the Alexandria Police Department, said in an e-mail that Crapo was arrested at 12:45 a.m. Sunday. An Alexandria police officer noticed Crapo’s vehicle run through a red traffic light, and after the vehicle was stopped, the officer conducted field sobriety tests, which Crapo failed, Donaldson said. Crapo was arrested for driving under the influence, and taken into custody without incident, Donaldson said.

In a statement, Crapo apologized for his actions.
“I am deeply sorry for the actions that resulted in this circumstance,” Crapo said. “I made a mistake for which I apologize to my family, my Idaho constituents and any others who have put their trust in me. I accept total responsibility and will deal with whatever penalty comes my way in this matter.
“I will also undertake measures to ensure that this circumstance is never repeated.”
Police said they did not have Crapo’s blood-alcohol content available.
He was released on $1,000 bond, and has a court date scheduled for Jan. 4.
The 61-year-old Republican is serving his third term in the U.S. Senate. Crapo is Mormon, and has said publicly that he abstains from alcohol.

Bobajo: I object to the bolded People stole billions and you are using petty to qualify their larceny. This are grand thefts and Grand thieves .

Pardon me That's what a UK Judge called one the GRAND ROUGES

Point of CORRECTION. It's not a BREAKING NEWS, It's Northern Muslim elites have done it again. A religion of PISS, that promotes PENURY, BLOOD SHED, 'FAGGOTISM', IGNORANCE & ILLITERACY and UNDER-AGED GIRLS MOLESTATION. I shudder !!!

0lumide: IBB, OBJ are one and the same CIA extension in Nigeria.

Have you ever noticed that it is under these people that we increase fuel price, borrow from worldbank and devalue Naira?

That is why OBJ fought tooth and nail to make sure GEJ was made president.

If you think I support OBJ, you must not know me.

OBJ, IBB and now GEJ are all CIA operatives in Nigeria hence why it is under them we have infrastructural decay, low standard of living with a high cost and bowing to IMF pressure and allowing IMF to determine our budget.

They are nothing but puppets. international "observers" were quick to call the Yaradua won election as rigged but quick to call a rigged election free and fair because the CIA agent GEJ won. The election was rigged by far.

GEJ must go!!!

If GEJ, must go. " Who must come"? The reality is this, This imaginary "CIA", has a lot of interest in the Niger-Delta ( where GEJ comes from) region of Nigeria, if he must go, chances are HIGH that the Niger-Delta region will slip into CRIMINALITY again. Who what's to deal with that? This imaginary " CIA, can do without the Northern Nigeria, hence, Boko, can bomb from here to hell, NOBODY CARES. They'll rather have GEJ, stay in power and let the WORST happen, than a Northern man, being in power,which " MIGHT" put their BUSINESS interest and CITIZENS in danger. Does Boko's bombing affect oil price at the Int'l markets NO! But, I can assure you that the militancy in the Niger-Delta region always affect the oil prices.

It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled

0lumide: I am still saying this; GEJ's rise to power is questionable. There are better SS men and women that could have be Yar'adua's running mate.

LGA chairman to Alams deputy, Alams was quickly sent to jail, GEJ became governor and before finishing his term as governor, he became vice presido, and Yaradua died for GEJ to be presido..

Life is not fairy tale! Something went down. Something happened. I believe GEJ is a well trained CIA agent.

His rise to power is highly questionable. Someone must fall for him to rise to power. This is orchestrated not natural.

We will eventually know the truth!

This your CIA agent can only rise to power in Nigeria. I'm surprise that you didn't QUESTION how a FAILURE and DUMMY (Obasanjo)in the Nigerian Army, way back in 60's, became a military head of state, and was able to become a civilian president again. You can also question how someone like Yar'adua, also become your president, ONLY IN NIGERIA!!!

caseless: have u forgotten james ibori celebrated his birthday in the prison and some pages of newspaper were dedicated to that?

Did he talk? The way the rogues like Obj, odili, kalu, atiku, etc have been talking trash? Are they not suppose to celebrate whatever they have to celebrate in a DUNGEON, just like their buddy, ibori?

Odili should TALK and he's a Nigerian HERO and an 'ELDER STATESMAN". If a PETTY THIEF like Obasanjo, is going about FREELY and talking TRASH, why won't Odili talk? You guys chose to celebrate ROGUES, so, what do you expect. To them that are "PROUD OF Obasanjo, I really want to know the difference between Odili and Obasanjo. GULLIBLE Nigerians

belovedaja: lol
laff wan kill me

No die, God's willing, some day, you will have the last laugh on these ROGUES.

bamosagie: I shudder at the thought of odili being the vice-president of Nigeria, imaging odili taking over from the late Yar adua............ God must really love Nigeria.
Thanks to president obasanjo

Wow, really? what you thanking the rogue Obasanjo for? Is there any difference between Odili and Jonathan and Obasanjo? Pls wake up. They're two sides of the same coins, in other words, PETTY THIEVES

All the ROGUES keep talking, from Obasanjo, to Odili, orji kalu, Tinubu, atiku, Gbenga daniel, bode george, anenih, Otedoal, farouk, etc, only in Nigeria,Smh. How come Ibori is not talking? Cos he has been placed where he belongs, whenever they release him, he'll sure come to Nigeria and write his own " ROGUE MEMOIR " too, with the title," The Innocent man that was Jailed", Nigeria's best seller.

Did anyone else noticed that El rufai, Hell rufai, has been, hobnobbing with the ROGUES that RUINED Nigeria and he's still part of them, waiting for an opportunity to present itself, he was part of the people that brought Jonathan into the V.P thing, and his frustration now is that Jonathan dumped him. El rufai, Hell rufai, is a PETTY THIEF. His name is alwaz mentioned in everything EVIL, yet he'll be on the social media RANTING GARBAGE

Debasement and ignorance everwhere, Zuckerberg, "stole a friends idea", but, not US Govt's money. We're talking about individuals that became millionaires at the expense of the general public. E.g, nigerians av to be in darkness for someone to become ( the sole importer of diesel) a billonaire. US Govt post office works EFFICIENTLY,for the POOR and the RICH, yet, it didn't stop FEDEX and UPS to become global brands and the owners billonaires. The point is WHAT IDEAS DO ALL THESE NIGERIAN ROGUES EXPORT outside?

Who the HELL will add Chinua Achebe's name here? You must be a LOW LIFE person. If Achebe has called a name from the Northern Nigeria, I can assure you that you'll not add his name here. So, because he wrote his memoir and informed the world of Awo's role, now he's a bad man, losers. Has anyone in the history of Nigeria turned down National Honors? But Achebe did it twice and the HISTORY will forever HONOR him, his WORKS, INTEGRITY and everything that he REPRESENTS. Till this world comes to an end, THINGS FALL APART ( ACHEBE) will continue to be the GREATEST BOOK THAT CAME OUT OF AFRICA, by an AFRICAN.

Is there any GENUINE rich man in Nigeria? I asked because, in a country like USA, you can list hundreds of billionaires and millionaires that acquired their wealth through a TRANSPARENT source. In other words, they've never participated in the US politics and there's no record of them benefiting from US Govt's contracts. It's their own INGENUITY and HARDWORK. Examples, Bill Gates,Larry Ellison ( Oracle) Larry Page (Google) Oprah Winfrey, Mike Zuckerberg etc.

Unfortunately, I'm yet to hear a Nigerian RICH ROGUE fellow, that didn't LOOT the treasury, or a friend in power sold out "DASH" him or her GOVERNMENT COMPANIES or OIL WELLS or have friends in Government that gave him or her those DUBIOUS CONTRACTS. I'm here to learn, if there's any, I'll like to know. Some of the people that claimed that they're rich today, were NOBODY, and there FATHER was NOBODY, but, after looting the treasury, their regular line will be " I HAD MONEY BEFORE I CAME TO SERVE MY COUNTRY". I want to know the SOURCES of these fellows and their WEALTH.
Obasanjo, Ibb, Abdusalami, Abacha, Mai-deribe, Uba brothers, David Mark, El Rufai, Ms Alakija, Bola SHagaya, Ibori, Igbinedion's, Orji Kalu, Otedola, Tinubu, Dangote, Oba Otudeko, Abdumutalab, Bamanga Tukur ( Bamanga Naira), Rochas, T.Y Danjuma, Yardua's, Anenih's and their ilks, are simply PETTY THIEVES, why can't they be treated as such?

Where's the Nigeria's Mike Zuckerberg

If you think that Obasanjo and Jonathan are actually at WAR,( they're simply making headlines to deceive the ever GULLIBLE Nigerian), then, you're DEBASED. Again, If you think there's any difference between Obasanjo and Jonathan, then you must be a DUNCE. Obasanjo, Ibb, Ibori, Jonathan, Asari, Tompolo, Andy Uba, David Mark and their ilks, are PETTY THIEVES that benefited from a MERE GEOGRAPHICAL EXPRESSION, NO MAN'S LAND. They're free to deceive the ever DOCILE and GULLIBLE citizens of that HELL HOLE.

These are some of the little things that matters in any given society. If you can, read the HIGHLIGHTED lines. Why is it that RESIGNATION is never an option for failed public office holders in Nigeria?


4 Are Out at State Dept. After Scathing Report on Benghazi Attack



Four State Department officials were removed from their posts on Wednesday after an independent panel criticized the “grossly inadequate” security at a diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, that was attacked on Sept. 11, leading to the deaths of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.



Panel Assails Role of State Department in Benghazi Attack (December 19, 2012)
Times Topic: Libya — the Benghazi Attacks
Eric J. Boswell, the assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security, resigned. Charlene R. Lamb, the deputy assistant secretary responsible for embassy security, and another official in the diplomatic security office whom officials would not identify were relieved of their duties. So was Raymond Maxwell, a deputy assistant secretary who had responsibility for North Africa. The four officials, a State Department spokeswoman said, “have been placed on administrative leave pending further action.”

The report criticized officials in the State Department’s Bureau for Diplomatic Security as having displayed a “lack of proactive leadership.” It also said that some officials in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs “showed a lack of ownership of Benghazi’s security issues.”

The report did not criticize more senior officials, including Patrick F. Kennedy, the under secretary for management, who has vigorously defended the State Department’s decision-making on Benghazi to Congress.

At a news conference at the State Department on Wednesday, Thomas R. Pickering, a former ambassador who led the independent review, said that most of the blame should fall on officials in the two bureaus.

“We fixed it at the assistant secretary level, which is, in our view, the appropriate place to look, where the decision-making in fact takes place, where, if you like, the rubber hits the road,” said Mr. Pickering, who did not identify the officials.

At the same time, the report that Mr. Pickering oversaw suggested that there was a culture of “husbanding resources” at senior levels of the State Department that contributed to the security deficiencies in Benghazi. Without identifying Mr. Kennedy or other senior officials, the report said that attitude “had the effect of conditioning a few State Department managers to favor restricting the use of resources as a general orientation.”

Two deputy secretaries of state, William J. Burns and Thomas R. Nides, are scheduled to testify to Congressional committees on Thursday. The question of whether senior officials at the State Department should be held accountable is likely to be raised by lawmakers at the hearing.

“The board severely critiques a handful of individuals, and they have been held accountable,” said Representative Ed Royce, Republican of California, who is the incoming chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “The degree that others bear responsibility warrants Congressional review, given the report’s rather sweeping indictment. And the Foreign Affairs Committee must hear from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton concerning her role, which this report didn’t address.”

^^^Based on results written in abuja or which one? In a transparent one man one vote ( as in, people queue to be counted) election, I believe he'll do better. A prophet is never recognized in his birth place. He PERFORMED as the administrator of Lagos state

^^The state election should not be a yardstick to measure his chances of winning the presidential election. Who did he run against in Adamawa? PDP, a power broker in PDP, not just a regular Ibrahim !! What do you expect the outcome to be?

^^^ Those that FAILS to plan, planned to FAIL. Most potential candidates of 2016 US presidential election, has started making consultations.

^^^ The future starts now. FYI, the 2015 race is on, the career politicians are putting in their finishing touches. They will not start the POLITIC and INTRIGUES in December 2014.

^^ keep on been a Dunce

Gen. Burba Marwa, may not be a SAINT, but he's better than all the prospective presidential candidates from Northern Nigeria. He's PROGRESSIVE minded. He's not an ISLAMIC EXTREMIST , he's DE-TRIBALIZED, his TESTED and PROVEN record in Lagos, speaks for itself.

Marwa, will perform, all he needs is for Mr INTEGRITY ( Gen Buhari), to endorse him, cos, Buhari, has huge followership in the North. Buhari, will FOREVER have my vote, but, his IMAGE has been battered down Southern Nigeria, his chances of winning the MAJORITY vote is very slim.

Marwa, doesn't need to be in PDP to win 2015 election. The rest of the candidates has one or two baggages. Fashola, would've been the IDEAL candidate,but people should realize that Nigeria is a PLURAL and COMPLEX country, Nigeria is not USA ( where people know what they what from their leaders and you RUN for office based on your RECORDS).

Nigerians should PLEASE wake up! Don't accept ANYONE endorse by Obasanjo ( petty thief), the same man RUINED Nigeria, by PICKING ( not allowing the lay down DEMOCRATIC rules of PDP to produce better candidate) Yar'adua and Jonathan, Obasnajo, knew that these two men are WEAKLINGS, they will not OUTSHINE him. Their FAILURE will make him RELEVANT or be seen as a HERO. The North had so many BRIGHT and MODERATE candidates that were better than Yar'adua,but, the SELFISH ROGUE refuse to handover power to someone that will PERFORM. However, Jonathan, was not the BEST south/south candidate for Vice-president, Odili, Duke, and Attah would have done better, but Obj, preferred MEDIOCRE, hence, Jonathan.

MARWA for PRESIDENT!!! Maybe Fashola, Dora, Duke, Adams or anyone in this category.

SAY YOUR MIND!

To them that are PROGRESSIVE, "LESS-TRIBALISTIC", and still believe in ONE NIGERIA. In addition to them that believed that Jonathan has FAILED.

The year 2015 is around the corner, Who are the candidates you'll like to see as the PRESIDENTIAL and VICE-PRESIDENTIAL candidates in 2015 and their presidency will take Nigeria to greater heights.

If you think Jonathan has not done badly, given the INSECURITY challenges that beclouded his administration and he deserve a second chance, feel free to nominate him.

Your nominations might become a REALITY.

tashanja: How ridiculous can ppl get, sorry to say its your kind that give us Southerners a bad name.

DO U HAVE A BAD NAME? NO, ITS A GOOD ONE CALLED, RETARDED!

omarky: Why on earth will you reason with your anus.....? Do you have any link to surpport your baseless theory.....? Even the sahara reporters can't buttress your story..... RIP to the deads anyway

YOU'VE BEEN DEBASED BY YEARS OF DARKNESS, FROM NEPA & FAMILY MEMBERS. AS A DUNCE, I'LL NOT WAIT 4 U, I THINK OUT OF THE BOX. WOE UNTO U ( WAITING 4 SH, B4 U PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER ), U ARE A FAILURE

Zulele: Obviously, you are a deluded fool!

you're a DEAD MAN WALKING. TALK 2 UR TYPE
