Okay. Let him just defend himself well. Please let him not be found wanting.

The ends shall justify the means.

May his soul rest in peace

The biggest mistake was made by Yaradua in granting amnesty the first time. This should have been handled a long time ago.

Well it is better late than never. FG should fight them once and for all.

The writer is biased.

Did you consider fire out break?

Instead of just ranting, why don'y you just name the roads GEJ built and let us know.

This is the only logical solution at this time.

chriskosherbal:
Law makers your duty is to make laws for the development of the economy not witch hunting one another.

And what if the leaders of those to make the law are crooks? You don't think the whole law they would make will be suspect?

Please advice brother Tompolo to go and answer EFCC. Bubu no de hear all this one O.

I used to think his 'common sense revolution' on radio was from a neutral point of view, but after listening for a while I have come to understand that he is not genuine.

Some of his criticism of the APC government and the president could be relayed directly to the president or proposed as a bill at the senate.

He is clamoring for the use of made in Nigeria products which is a very good one, he has even gone to buy some made in a Aba shoes, this now means that him and his fellow senators should also clamor for a slash is salary and allowance, after all the made in Nigeria products are cheaper, so using that to calculate their wardrobe allowance and other things, it only makes sense for a slash.

SirShymexx:
Laughable.

Igbo people and pulling out ridiculous numbers from their arses to fool the gullible folks. Do you think Europe is a dumping ground for Agricultural produce?

And for cash crops, what cash crops do they produce in Igboland that's even worth $1 billion? Where's the land that's not even enough for the population explosion and gully erosion fighting side by side to control Igboland?

They need to keep an eye on these folks before they start exporting all kinds of class A drugs via whatever obscure courier company ABX is. These Igbo folks aren't serious, I tell ya.

Silly comment. Very childish.

This is the kind of story we want to be hearing and not IPOB. God bless governor Obiano.

If this is true, no qualms. Let us now see how the government will react.

VampireeM:
am not saying Mr President shouldnt fight corruption but I noticed Since he came into power and claimed he is fighting Corruption am yet to hear where an APC member or Chieftain esp those ones that were in PDP has been arrested by EFCC or Probed even with petitions written against them.

PMB's anti corruption war is more of a witch hunt! If truly he wants to fight corruption, he has to start from the root and not the branch...

Since the inception of this govt, everyday arresting and probing with no meaningful results. Touring round the continent like he is "Gulliver the Traveller" and some Zombie Nigerians are telling me its for our own good... Govt with no blue print on how to run the country and economy looking for whom to blame for their incompetence.
We are in 2016 and the budget is yet to be approved? Are we moving backward or Forward?

At least there is corruption fight. When PDP regains power, if they do. They can fight past APC corrupt leaders and at the end of the day Nigeria will be the beneficiary.

According to him: “Democracy should be able to address our problems, unite us and not to put fear in the land, compelling people to be pretending to be what they are not because they don’t want to be imprisoned.” Earlier, the secretary of Global Watch, Yahaya Idris, said they were in former governor Lamido’s office to seek his fatherly blessing in their effort at promoting democracy and unity among the Nigerian youth.

If people need to pretend and do not loot our resources, that is fine. So there is no problem with instilling fear in office holders.

LordAdam:
I don't like it when people say Nigerians voted PMB. Only 2 regions voted PMB to power. The other two did not fall under the APC spell. We have reiterated our stand with the gubernatorial elections and subsequent ruling.

The regions that voted him should not complain. Let them leave wailing for the two regions that saw the scam from afar.

-Lord

More than you think actually voted for him from your region.


Mr. Fasehun: what we are experiencing now was bound to happen. It was only a matter of time and I believe it would have been worse under GEJ.

This is like someone eating his vomit. What a whimp Dokpesi is.

aljharem:
Please have they asked tinubu ameachi and Co how they funded their election ?

rubbish

You can ask them.

'A statement by Mr. Tony Eluemunor, his Media Assistant, said “There is no Ibori loot anywhere in the world. Such money, whether in British pounds, American dollars or the Nigerian naira just does not exist'

So Iboru has no loot? Please why is he in prison. Lest we forget, Ibori himself pleaded guilty to the charges against him

The equipment are Nigeria's property.

Stealing is now corruption.

ellabooz:
The storm is gathering and with time the centre can no longer hold.
Just a strike, Nigeria has lost close to a billion dollars and so some dullards will be like , "Niger delta militants are no threat to this country ,I will destroy them in weeks" Be ready to bring our economy to that of Zimbabwe in days.

If you think that parasitic NE is equivalent to our economy hub,rethink. If half of what happened in NE should occur in SS, we are doomed for real.

This is no time to threaten any region, we have had enough blood shed in this country.
Deplomacy always win over brutal force.

It behoves me the way people reason. So the Federal government should now dance to the tune of militants? Well I thank God we have a leader who reasons differently.

It is better the militants bomb everywhere than for the FG to bow down to their threat.

I blame the amnesty granted by Yaradua in the first place. If not things like this would have been a long forgotten issue.

My solution is to chase the militants till they give up. Even if the economy crumbles. It will only be for a while with guaranteed forestalling of things like this in the future.

I agree 100%

I suggest he be brought in a cage next time.

idupaul:
I see your director has mandated you guys to intercept and engage any dissenting view.? 50 naira stamp duty is nothing but brazen thievery by the govt. .what have the done with VAT they collect on every single service and sale ... as a father if u need to improve urgent household will you tax the children's pocket money they got from you or you will strive to earn more from outside the home

Please FG is not your father. The earlier you understand that the better for you. You are complaining about 5% VAT where as you will pay 20% VAT in the UK.

It is your responsibility to pay tax to the government.

coolzeal:
This region fed Nigeria and has continue doing so. What happened to dialogue? Yaradua was no fool when he negotiated.

So what is the outcome of the dialogue? Are the militants not still raking havoc?

Enough is enough. After all what is the worth of the so called oil today?

What we do not understand is that a barrel of palm oil is more expensive than a barrel of crude oil as we speak.

I do not blame you people. I can only blame the Federal Government that granted amnesty to some of you guys in the first place.

So you guys will feel you are in order to demand your own amnesty.

No one is above the lord. Tompolo should be used to set an example.

ejiinii:
Let be objective in our minds and not subjective,there are military procedures for deal with erring officers not civilian court. IS DASUKIGATE REAL?? Well much as I believe that any person who participated in the pillaging of this country should be punished severely, however let's take time to do this little math on the much hyped Dasukigate. Now from the government sources, a total of $2.1 billion was alleged to have been stolen through Dasuki.

This translated to about N450 billion at the material time. From government sources now and from the figures available, if you do a total summation of the whole amount of money Dasuki was said or alleged to have "shared", it is in the neighbourhood of N10 billion or less than that. Now the amount said to have been recovered from that is so far less than N1 billion.

This is against about N450 billion ($2.1 billion) said to have been allocated to Dasuki for the war against boko haram. So we are still left with a balance of over N400 billion. What about the huge left over, if it exists? ? Now was this N450 billion ($2.1) said to have been given to Dasuki contained in a single budget?

How much was the Jonathan budget for the period in question and how much was the defence budget? Meanwhile has anybody ever heard from the man Dasuki himself? I think it is now easy to see why the government does not want to charge him to court or is so reluctant to do so. Interestingly, some of those people who were involved said Dasuki never gave them any money. It is so unfortunate that all that this government has to show for this much hyped war against corruption so far is just the less than N1 billion so far said to have been recovered from the alleged Dasuki accomplices

.Now can you remember how much Obasanjo' s government (as corrupt as it was) recovered from the Abacha loot as well as even former governors like Chimaroke Nnamani et al? This is why i had earlier described the so called Dasukigate as a storm in the tea-cup

Government has never said that the whole $2.1 billion was embezzled, rather part of it.

And also I believe you were in this country when legislators approved $1 billion for the Book Haram fight. You are also aware that about $400 million of Abacha returned loot was transferred to Dasuki. That makes it $1.4 bilion. So add the one in the budget and we should be there.

Nobody is bigger than the nation. Tompolo can not dare the FG and go free. It is better we do not sell oil and Dollar get to 1000 naira than for the FG to be intimidated by some miscreants.

There should be an end to all these. FG should fight this battle one time and make an example to those that would survive.

I no blamer you. Na Jonathan I blame. You will soon understand that no one is bigger than the country.
