Nigeria has over $140million dollars in America waiting to be repatriated once Buhari prosecutes the perprators who are mainly his friends and associates...otherwise the money will remain there in American bank...Why is buhari dodging this READY money? |
[b]Several conflicting statements from Buhari/APC posit them as being confused, dubious, vindictive, and also talks too much...They won election through lies and propaganda... and now wants to apply same strategy to governance...Examine the facts below; 1) Buhari said he will probe nobody before election; http://thenationonlineng.net/buhari-i-wont-probe-past-govts/ 2)Buhari says he's reopening Halliburton case prior to his US visit: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/182m-halliburton-scandal-buhari-orders-preparation-of-case-file/#sthash.0a7efsUx.dpuf 3)Buhari pleads with Obama to help in RECOVERY & subsequent PROSECUTION of over $150billion looted from Nigerià SINCE PAST DECADE including Halliburton scandal fund: http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/buhari-seeks-obama-s-help-to-recover-150bn-nigerian-loot-/215177/ 4)Buhari says he will probe and prosecute only Jonathan administration...how about Halliburton scandal fund?; http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/187120-buhari-will-probe-jonathans-govt-only-not-obasanjos-others presidency.html?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter 5)Note that America has given prosecution of Halliburton scandal perpetrators as ONLY condition for release of over $140million already recovered. So does Buhari want to dash America that money already recovered? 6)Remember Buhari has boasted he will prosecute ANY corrupt official irrespective of party affiliation or status... 7)Article below may interest you too...[/b] July, 24 2015... Early last month when it was public knowledge that Presidential Mohammadu Buhari would be visiting the United States, the already killed and buried Halliburton bribery scandal case was exhumed. I decided to use the word killed and buried because prior to that time, nothing was heard about it. Effort of the last administration of Goodluck Jonathan to look into the matter was only perfunctory and the only person indicted then was Bodunde Adeyanju, a former Personal Assistant (PA) on Domestic Affairs to former President Olusegun Obasanjo. The PA, as usual with our dear country when there are lots of interests at play, only got a slap on the wrist and was told to go and sin no more.But exhumed the matter was, as the president planned his US visit. [b]The information then was that, the US government was willing to refund the $140million recovered if only the Buhari government would begin prosecution of people indicted in Nigeria. In the US, former Vice President Dick Cheney was indicted because he was Halliburton CEO before becoming America’s second citizen. He was later cleared when Halliburton worked out a settlement of $35 million. The linchpin in the bribery scandal, Jeffery Tesler was also jailed 21 months and has since finished his term. The company itself was punished. The only place where not much effort was made in punishing most of the people allegedly indicted was in Nigeria. The president’s visit to the US has since been concluded, I however cannot say whether the issue came up, but I suspect it did since the US government said it would help Nigeria in recovering all our stolen wealth and the Halliburton’s money is part of such. However, my concern is the alleged condition given by the American government on the return of our money – that President Buhari should prosecute all the people indicted.[/b] The president has vowed to tackle corruption. He has promised that no one would be spared even if any member of his party, the All Progressives Congress was involved. He has equally said he would probe the past administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan. Though the former president has said he should extend the probe beyond his tenure. He (Jonathan) probably had his reason for saying that especially considering what we already know. But would President Buhari be able to do this? I am especially concerned about Nigeria’s or the Halliburton’s bribery cash lying in the US. It would help the country, no doubt if this money comes back, especially now that the country is in dire financial strait. But I have my fears whether those indicted would ever be brought to justice. Like some friends on social media argued, bringing those people allegedly indicted would disrupt a lot of things. Their fear is understandable considering those involved. Some of them are people who played very prominent roles in the victory of President Buhari in the last election. A list on social media includes such names as Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar and Chief Don Etiebet, a former minister who both allegedly had $37.5 million hanging on them and former President Olusegun Obasanjo, his then Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former NNPC helmsmen, Biodun Kupolokun and Gaius Obaseki, with $74million said to be tied around their waists. Others equally indicted are former Head of State, late General Sani Abacha who was believed to have collected about $40million, Chief Dan Etete, $2.5million, former Inspector General of Police, Late MD Yusuf, $75,000. The case of Yusuf was however controversial as the bribe money was given to him when he was no longer the chairman of the board of the Liquefied Natural Project that was in charge of the project at the time and was not in position to influence anything. It was even alleged then that he received the money from the Chagour brothers in London as a gift for shopping. He was chairman of the companies in which the brothers also had interest. A social commentator and Nigeria’s coordinator at the Natural Resource Governance Institute at the time, Dauda Garuba described the scandal thus:“In terms of the personalities and the amount of money involved it is probably the biggest scandal in Nigeria’s history,” Would the president then move against these set of people? I doubt whether that is possible. [b]Apart from the wider implications, it would create enmity for President Buhari at this early stage of the administration in the camps of these powerful people who are his ‘friends’ and associates.[/b]Though these people worked for the president which led to his victory, they will not hesitate to overturn the applecart and work against the president. One of the factors that worked in favour of the president during the campaign and which has always endeared him to most Nigerians is the fact of his honesty, incorruptibility, courage and most importantly, his love for this country and his desire to bring back the lost glory, would this play out now? Would the president summon that courage to follow through and prosecute these powerful people and begin the major step in ridding the country of what I call corruption infestation. It is when he does this that his name would then be written in gold. Not only that, it would set the nation on the path of rectitude and rebirth. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/daring-the-president-on-halliburton-scandal-prosecution/ |

Beremx:Because you're daft, you don't see your employers are about to go down...though I see buhari as a noise maker who can't do nothing... Per chance he's to act within the confines of the law, see expected result below; 1)Kawu Baraje APC chieftain lorded over NRC... 2)Tinubu, Otedola etc APC dons and closet supporters lorded over subsidy... 3)Oil theft?...Is it Jonathan ministers as he sheepishly opined that are stealing same as at today and post May 29th?... 4)NNPC?...Nobody is embroiled into it as Danjuma, an APC and buhari supporter... Yes, buhari CANNOT confront or withstand the fire power of these fellow APC folks Enjoy!!!...Problem of Nigeria today sits in APC... |
Dannyset:I hope you read again to see nobody is shielding anybody here...just against selective justice...which is tantamount to witch hunting...thanks |
PassingShot:See the hypocrites booking space... |
Buhari forgot that he will be judged not on the extent mudslings he achieved against Jonathan but on the extent to which his campaign promises are met |
I am not worried because any probe after 2010 must expose actors like Amechi, Rochas, Saraki, Kwankwaso, Wamakko, Tinubu, Ahmed et al... Unless they doctor the documents... Which courts will simply throw away...both in allocation and subsidy… But Be Sure that he's just playing to the gallery because no reasonable probe would be done by him...Is oil sector not controlled by Danjuma his supporter?...Are the Tinubu's not into subsidy?...Are the Kawu Baraje not the face of NRC?...and other APC henchmen...so forget Alhaji Dogoyaro and his noise |
Buhari cannot even probe oil theft under Jonathan which he sheepishly mentioned in US because even under him, as at today like always, same oil theft is going on...he's simply a noise maker who likes talking always albeit contradicting himself |
barcanista:Buhari is confused...when Amanpour asked him the code of conduct which he's putting in place, he started blabbing about another thing altogether...He's simply a charlatan and noise maker who contradicts himself always |
Is the Oladele guy a bomb victim ...and speaking from abuja?...So does bomb victims register with him through which means?... |
Theophilus Danjuma is APC and Buhari supporter....so it's easy for them... ![]() |
Horlufemi:Quit the rhetoric...I need answer here... Kindly list the various foundation buhari is laying with their respective ministries.. |

MizMyColi:Wow...I am humbled here... ![]() Thanks so much for such trust...just try and read it always because I am not immune to mistakes...thanks babe... |
midolian:We are not here to discuss your father who's drinking ogogoro around leaving miserable you to litter the internet with nonsense ![]() |
Horlufemi:Kindly list the various foundation buhari is laying with their respective ministries... |
buster2364:And which ministry does not generate revenue including education, science & technology, tourism, works, power etc ... |
buster2364:All these rants makes no sense to me... If they do not mean well for us, why has buhari being dissipating 95% of his efforts since inauguration following them around?... |
onyedikachukwue:Good compilation work there ![]() thanks for the records... |
elohorayodele:Thank you brother for this great support... |
buster2364:Smh... What are ministries if not units of service for revenue generation to government ![]() |
Wildrage: |
buster2364:Both local and international observers have taken a stand against buhari's delayed cabinet and lack of direction in leadership and governance...And buhari has been running to same people Ever since he declared for presidency in 2014 till now... |
drnoel:Simple logic will tell you that you spend money to make money...adding this to the adverse effects of not having such as captured in the main article begs for more questions about buhari's leadership quotient and credentials... |
BB013:What's our population figure as at today?...Is population a constant?...smh |
omenka:My immunity to your stench is too strong...No matter the extent of poverty in the land, I won't become as miserable as you who survive from APC stipends for you to rant online even against common sense and conscience... Even the gala hawker on the street has more freedom of expression compared to you...who only say what's he's instructed to say for a meagre payment... and you claim to be man enough... |
socialmediaman:You see ya life...partisanship and bigotry has beclouded your mind...that even when international observers speak you still see them through your myopic lens of PDP/APC debacle... |
naijainfogalery:On the contrary, you won't even decipher failure in leadership when you see one...Opinion expressed in this article are that of international observers...And that you carry a burden of hatred does not mean you see others through same mirror...thanks |
neahyo:No you mustn't fail...Experiences are unique to individuals just as their personalities are...Some succeeded without much tales or hiccups while others passed through hell to make it...Your motivation should be this; If the man from Ebonyi state could succeed in Lagos/Sokoto, and transform his fortune with little or no education... then why not you with all your education?... Difference lies in our determination to excel, willingness to venture into unfamiliar grounds, and ability to ignore the thorns while picking the roses...Being afraid of failure is the FIRST BOLD towards failure...thanks |
You already have a problem by accumulating "Fear of the Unknown" and underestimating your God given abilities and innate potentials...Mistakes are part and spice of life...It makes your history rich...Don't be afraid to make one...and be quick to admit it when you do...make necessary amends and pick lessons therein to move on...Kill your fears and feed your faith...Trust in your abilities and God...Open the windows of your mind...Read more voraciously... Be Ready Always to Learn, Unlearn, and Relearn...Accept corrections readily with gratitude...Be guided by your head not your heart...thanks and God bless us all... |
