This is what you get, when you recruit retired weed smokers into the police as SARS. "Nigeria Is A Banana Republic".

Pushas:
No wonder Nigeria is not developing. Op asked a valid and smart question. Just look at the STUPID responses above? Fools.

@OP I am also waiting for an answer too.

A common misconception when deleting files is that they are completely removed from the hard drive. However, users should be aware that highly sensitive data can still be retrieved from a hard drive even after the files have been deleted because the data is not really gone. Files that are moved to the recycle bin (on PCs) or the trash can (on Macs) stay in those folders until the user empties the recycle bin or trash can. Once they have been deleted from those folders, they are still located in the hard drive and can be retrieved with the right software.
Any time that a file is deleted from a hard drive, it is not erased. What is erased is the bit of information that points to the location of the file on the hard drive. The operating system uses these pointers to build the directory tree structure (the file allocation table), which consists of the pointers for every other file on the hard drive. When the pointer is erased, the file essentially becomes invisible to the operating system. The file still exists; the operating system just doesn't know how to find it. It is, however, relatively easy to retrieve deleted files with the right software.
The only way to completely erase a file with no trace is to overwrite the data. The operating system will eventually overwrite files that have no pointers in the directory tree structure, so the longer an unpointed file remains in the hard drive the greater the probability that it has been overwritten. There are also many "file erasing" software products currently on the market that will permanently erase files by overwriting them.

Last time i checked the greatest period of armed robbery in SE was in GEJ's regime. U can blame buhari for many things but its senseless to start calling buhari because of the foolishness of some certain adults

Best article of all times.... if only people will read

In essence if the militants start again or other countries increase their production then we are back in recession... we need to truly push for less dependency on oil else the country is screwed economically in the foreseeable future.

Most countries are pushing for green energy to power engines and that may be the end of the oil economy as we know it.

We need future thinking leaders who can see these coming events and prepare appropriately to improve and safeguard the future of what would have been a greater nation.

I do not claim to know what former President Goodluck Jonathan meant exactly by the "now famous" statement accredited to him (ok yes he said it... with a lot of other things that are not reported) that "stealing is not corruption" but I believe in looking at all sides of the coin and not just jum into conclusion based on an obviously skewed media.

I will describe myself as apolitical but I know you will have your views and I do not expect your apologies so don't expect mine. It is a fact that respondents on the "invisible" social media can be brutal in their submissions but "it is what it is".

Jonathan and his team made a fundamental error by not having a counter narrative when the news breaks and in public relations (I'm no expert) it matters what you put out there.

Lets assume I know what Jonathan meant to say... Maybe he meant to say that CORRUPTION IS NOT JUST STEALING ALONE.

What is corruption?

Corruption is a form of dishonest or unethical conduct by a person entrusted with a position of authority, often to acquire personal benefit - Source Wikipedia

The definition above puts a lot of the NORMAL practices in Nigeria (or the world) to question. Even up to the reason we help people or even worship God. You can see why corruption is not just stealing but encompasses a lot of things we have come to take for granted.

We do good not because it is a responsibility but because we want to personally benefit from it so we make a show of it and that is dishonest and therefore a form of corruption.

Nepotism is another form of corruption. Employing only family/tribal/political members to the detriment of the country where better candidates are available for the task (aka MAN KNOW MAN - MKM). That is corruption.

There are some "foundational" issues (aka corruption) that will never make this country develop (or at best slow this country)
Issues like your flawed QUOTA SYSTEM is corruption.

QUOTA SYSTEM that mandated the best regional leaders to be rulers instead of the best overall to be leaders will sometimes (probability) give very bad leaders. There will be no need for quota system if we have an EQUITABLE system where the best thinkers and movers will be at the helm of activities irrespective of race, tribe, politics, belief or family. The argument that the quota system ensures that power is devolved to all regions of the country for peace to reign is political hogwash. If the people see development they would not complain that the man/woman of another tribe is blessing them too much with too much development. There is usually an outcry where there is a grievance afterall no smoke without fire.

Bribery is not stealing (in normal cases) but Bribery is Corruption

Bribery is the act of giving money, goods or other forms of recompense to a recipient in exchange for an alteration of their behavior (to the benefit/interest of the giver) that the recipient would otherwise not alter. Bribery is defined by Black's Law Dictionary as the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal duty - Wikipedia.

Now we know Stealing is not bribery (where bribery is corruption... therefore stealing is not corruption?)

Bribery requires a giver and a receiver... in one accord. Societies around the world are filled with givers and receivers because it is survival instinct.. that basic of human instinct that kicks up when pushed to the wall or when just utterly lazy and without a moral compass.

Unfortunately our society is experiencing both. Abject poverty that has pushed the populace to the wall and a thieving political/ruling class that are utterly lazy, bereft of developmental ideas and lack any sort of compass let alone a moral one.

So you see my friends, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan could have been right all along... hear his own counter narrative.

So you are saying President Gen. Muhammadu Buhari read that your rat story and gave approval for you to share it with the world? Is that part of what he is saying?

kitaatita:
PDP should not play politics with the death of the innocent boy. Rochas and Imo State government should be held accountable. If PDP gets involved in the fray, there will be tendency for supporters of APC to take a position that is at variance with civility; thereby reducing the importance of the situation.

Too late. Politics will be played

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has sent an open letter to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN urging him to use his “good offices as a defender of public interest, and exercise your powers under Section 174(1) of the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), to urgently institute appropriate legal actions to challenge the legality of states’ laws permitting former governors, who are now senators and ministers to enjoy governors’ emoluments while drawing normal salaries and allowances in their new political offices.”

The organization also asked Mr Malami to “seek full recovery of over N40bn of public funds that have so far been received from those involved; and to begin to take these steps within 7 days of the receipt and/or publication of this letter, failing which SERAP will institute legal proceedings to compel the discharge of constitutional duty and full compliance with Nigeria’s international anticorruption obligations and commitments.”

In the letter dated 14 July 2017 and signed by SERAP executive director Adetokunbo Mumuni the organization said that, “Public interest is not well served when government officials such as former governors, deputies supplement their emoluments in their current positions with life pensions and emoluments drawn from their states’ meagre resources, and thereby prioritising their private or personal interests over and above the greatest happiness of the greatest number.”

The letter read in part: “SERAP considers double emoluments for serving public officials unlawful, as the laws granting those benefits take governance away from the arena of public interest, and creates the impression that former governors acted contrary to the best interests of the general public. Double emoluments and large severance benefits for former governors now serving public officials constitute a blatant betrayal of public trust.”

“SERAP is concerned that several serving senators and ministers are receiving salaries and life pensions running into billions of naira from states that are currently unwilling or unable to pay their workers’ salaries. Public office is a public trust, and as such, citizens depend upon their governors, senators and ministers to act in the public interest, not for their own or another’s profit or benefit.”

“Under the UN Convention against Corruption to which Nigeria is a state party, it is forbidden for any public official to engage in self-dealing, and place him/herself in a position of conflicting interests, and to hold incompatible functions or illicitly engage in providing to him/herself emoluments deemed unacceptable under international law. This is a clear case of the former governors placing their private or personal interests over and above their entrusted public functions, and unduly influencing the level of benefits they receive.”

“SERAP argues that taking advantage of entrusted public offices and positions to enact laws to grant double emoluments and large severance benefits to serving public officials amounts to not only an abuse of office but also incorrect, dishonourable and improper performance of public functions, as per the provisions of paragraph 2 of article 8 of the convention.”

“By signing such double emoluments and large benefits laws which they knew or ought to know that they would be beneficiaries, these former governors have abused their entrusted public functions and positions, and thereby obtained an undue advantage, contrary to article 19 of the convention.”

“The double emoluments and large severance benefits laws also violate the conflicts of interest provisions of the convention. The fact that these laws are signed by former governors in the exercise of their functions as public officials and now benefiting from the entitlements under such laws while serving as senators and ministers raises serious conflict of interest issue under paragraph 5 of article 8 of the convention.”

“We believe that the current Code of Conduct for Public Officials Act is outdated and entirely inconsistent and incompatible with the object and purpose of the UN Convention against Corruption, which requires Nigeria to adopt a comprehensive code of conduct for the performance of public functions and implicitly to prohibit double emoluments and large severance benefits for public officials such as former governors.”

“SERAP notes the resolution of the UN General Assembly to the effect that every state has the duty to carry out in good faith its obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law, and it may not invoke provisions in its constitutions or its laws as an excuse for failure to perform this duty.”

“As such, your government is mandated to challenge the legality of double and large emoluments states’ laws and bring them in line with Nigeria’s international obligations including under the convention. This position is buttressed by article 27 of the Vienna Convention on the Laws of Treaties, which provides that no state can justify the noncompliance with an international treaty with reference to internal law, including even the constitution.”

“The UN Legislative Guide to the convention provides that where there are gabs between national laws (including constitutions) and international obligations, states must meet more onerous standards of integrity, honesty and responsibility among their public officials.

SERAP is seriously concerned that conflicts of interest as well as perceptions of such conflicts undermine public confidence in the integrity and honesty of high-ranking public officials.”

“According to our information, those who currently receive double emoluments and large severance benefits from their states include: Dr. Bukola Saraki (Kwara); Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (Kano); Kabiru Gaya (Kano); Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom); Theodore Orji (Abia); Abdullahi Adamu (Nasarawa); Sam Egwu (Ebonyi); Shaaba Lafiagi (Kwara); Joshua Dariye (Plateau), and Jonah Jang (Plateau). Others include: Ahmed Sani Yarima (Zamfara); Danjuma Goje (Gombe); Bukar Abba Ibrahim (Yobe); Adamu Aliero (Kebbi); George Akume (Benue); Ms Biodun Olujimi (Ekiti); Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe (Abia); Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti); Chris Ngige (Anambra); and Babatunde Fashola (Lagos).”

“SERAP notes that under the Lagos Pension Law a former governor will enjoy the following benefits for life: Two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja estimated to cost between N500m and N700m.

Others are six brand new cars replaceable every three years; furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a close to N2.5m as pension (about N30m pension annually); free medicals including for his immediate families; 10 percent house maintenance; 30 percent car maintenance; 10 percent entertainment; 20 percent utility; and several domestic staff.”

“In Rivers, state law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for ex-governor and deputy, one residential house for former governor anywhere of his choice in Nigeria; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years; two cars for the deputy every four years; 300 percent of annual basic salary every four years for furniture; 10 percent of annual basic salary for house maintenance.”

“In Akwa Ibom, state law provides for N200m annual pay to ex governors, deputies; pension for life at a rate equivalent to the salary of the incumbent governor/deputy governor respectively; a new official car and utility-vehicle every four years; one personal aide and provision of adequate security; a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5m per month and N2.5m for the deputy governor.

Others are: free medical services for governor and spouse at an amount not exceeding N100m for the governor per annum and N50m for the deputy governor; a five-bedroom mansion in Abuja and Akwa Ibom and allowance of 300 percent of annual basic salary for the deputy governor; 300 percent of annual basic salary every four years and severance gratuity.”

“Similarly, the Kano State Pension Rights of Governor and Deputy Governor Law 2007 provides for 100 percent of annual basic salaries for former governor and deputy; furnished and equipped office; a 6-bedroom house; well-furnished 4-bedroom for deputy, plus an office; free medical treatment along with immediate families within and outside Nigeria where necessary; two drivers; and a provision for a 30- day vacation within and outside Nigeria.”

“In Gombe State, there is N300 million executive pension benefits for the ex-governors. In Kwara State, the 2010 law gives a former governor two cars and a security car replaceable every three years; a well-furnished 5-bedroom duplex; 300 per cent of his salary as furniture allowance; five personal staff; three State Security Services; free medical care for the governor and the deputy; 30 percent of salary for car maintenance; 20 per cent for utility; 10 percent for entertainment; 10 per cent for house maintenance.”

“In Zamfara State, former governors receive pension for life; two personal staff; two vehicles replaceable every four years; two drivers, free medical for the former governors and deputies and their immediate families in Nigeria or abroad; a 4-bedroom house in Zamfara and an office; free telephone and 30 days paid vacation outside Nigeria. In Sokoto State, former governors and deputy governors are to receive N200m and N180m respectively being monetization for other entitlements which include domestic aides, residence and vehicles that could be renewed after every four years.”

ednut1:
There has been different climate changes eg ice age without human emissions. I am with Trump on this global warming thing, would stopping emmisions turn the tide of the so called global warming. Nothing bt propaganda abeg

1. DT is an ass.
2. While stopping emissions might not immediately re verse global warming, it is like applying brakes... it will take a while for the effects to kick in.
3. Alternative clean energy sources are the way to go to save the planet and humanity.
4. Sad story: Nigeria has abundant year round sunlight and solar panels are becoming more efficient and cheaper. 1+1 should be equal to 2 but illiteracy is a serious disease...

nice
