I think we may not hear from him again,he has finished all the weapons in his armoury. These evidences are so damning, he has been battered by SR, any other defence now will knock him out, even Bubu won't have no choice than to sack him.

Abeg show me this evidence that is so damning. Buying Dubai properties is not like buying drugs, all the transactions are documented. The companies and the Dubai government has the details of all transactions for tax purposes, so I do not understand why you people made it seem like a mission impossible to get access to such information. Besides, Bututai is said to have declared the property on assuming the role of COAS.
If Burutai wanted to hide the property from the public, he would not have used his name to purchase the said property, he would have simply used a distant family member or a trusted friend

crixtex:
Bro... stop acting like u are a fighter of corruption... it stinks.... is general Burutai bigger than Nigeria...
The right thing is for him to be.investigated... it will be easy sef since he has no immunity...
And why should we close down the courts,.more should be established so that thieves and crooks like AishaHaliburton,Burutai,Fayose, slowpoke, StealerOduah et al, that have no immunity can be sentenced to hard labour in jail...

Bro, i urge you be a total supporter of anticorruption and stand by truth

But you talk as if you are sorely pained that Fayose is being investigated. There are evidence that Fayose received money from Dasuki, EFCC said they have evidence of how the monies were flown from Lagos to Akure, EFCC has evidences against all the dramatis personae in the illegal transfers , some are even prepared to testify against fayose.
Now in the Burutai's case, what are the accusations before you start talking about investigation? Buying properties in Dubai is no crime, buying properties from proceeds of a crime is a crime. You have to prove that Burutai and his wives bought properties in Dubai from proceed of a crime.
Sahara reporters or anybody else has not shown any evidence that Burutai has commuted any crime. Nobody has petitioned EFCC with documentary evidence that Burutai has committed a crime. You want EFCC to instigate Burutai and his wives solely based on Sahara reporters suspicions and insinuations?

crixtex:
Why are u investigating Fayose??

So you are insinuating that if General Buratai is not investigated, then no other Nigerian should be investigated again. Are you suggesting we close down the courts, send all prisoners home and shut the prisons?

This Buratai's "mansion" accusation had been over thrashed. This new " emerging new details" has not said anything new.
This is my earlier response to the topic;
Corruption fighting back. I am certain this incoherent blabber is from Fayose and his cohorts.

BADNEAT:
General Tukur Yusuf Buratai bought a second choice property in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, days after his appointment as Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff (COAS), an investigation by SaharaReporters has revealed.

I think majority of our youth need to go back to secondary school and retake English Comprehension. Reading this article show no evidence of any property bought by Burutai.

As this news website exclusively revealed last week, General Buratai and his two wives in 2013 paid the sum of 1,498,534.00 AED (N120 million/$419,000) for the first property, Project TFG Marina Hotel Unit 2711. Sale documents indicated that the first property was handed over to the Buratais on January 13, 2013.

That General Buratai and his two wives bought a property valued at N120,000,000 is a vindication of the general's relative modesty in the Nigerian context. Compared to other general in any of the armed forces, this is chicken change. Imagine what general Ihijerika or general minimah and their wives is worth.

On July 13, 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari appointed General Buratai as Chief of Army Staff. Our investigations show that, within 11 days of his appointment, the general was making arrangements for the purchase of a second property from the same company in Dubai. Our investigators obtained evidence that, between July 24 and August 17, 2015, General Buratai paid a total sum of N42.2 million into TFG Sigma 111’s account in Nigeria (Skye Bank 1770380452). 

Evidence exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters reveal that General Buratai made N10 million payments on July 24 and August 7 respectively. Three days later, another N10 million was paid into the real estate firm’s account, The phone number on the Skye Bank teller is 08033349740 Saharareporters investigations shows that it belonged to a Nigerian Army Major Emmanuel G. Adegbola of the Nigerian Army Finance Corps (N/10808).  On August 17, 2015, the Chief of Army Staff paid the sum of N3,270,000 into the account.

Where is the evidence that General Butatai paid money into TGF Sigma's account? What are the details of the said second property?

Our sources within the Army disclosed that the lodgments came from Army funds stolen and diverted by General Buratai. They explained that the diverted monies were taken from funds budgeted for the feeding, medical care and payment of allowances of soldiers fighting the war against Islamist insurgents in Nigeria’s northeast zone.

Proof? This is just wild speculation. Was Buratai directly responsible for soldier's welfare and when was this? Before he became COAS or the one week after being appointed Army chief when he is alleged to have paid for the second property.

Please note that the said first property bought by general Buratai and his two wives is not a multi million dollar luxurious mansion as being promoted by wailers, it is an investment scheme Dubai has been promoting for over a decade. They sell you luxury apartments or hotel rooms of various sizes, they then manage the property on your behalf by renting out the property to holidaying guests. You also have the option of staying in the room/apartment whenever you travel to dubai instead of renting an hotel room. After a period of about 5 years, you are expected to recover back your investment.

From the pictures posted by the OP, I cannot see the mansion and multi million naira farm owned by General Buratai near Abuja.
https://www.nairaland.com/3192817/buratai-bought-second-dubai-property/3#47003946

PDP and wailers are just clutching straws. They are holding unto any twig in their attempt to stop drowning. One a PDP is accused of corruption, instead of them to plead their innocence and prepare their defense, they embark on counter accusations by accusing members of APC , key members of the administration and buhari's family members of corruption, as if that will make a good defense argument in a law court. Some of their accusations are simply absurd like the one against Aisha buhari.
This Buratai's accusation is not even coherent. What are the accusations, first they say he embezzled money ment for officer's welfare, then they say he mismanaged the money meant for purchase of vehicles. Even the person that made the accusations in sahara reporters failed to provide any evidence of corruption, the person only provided evidence that General Buratai bought properties in Dubai, which in itself is not a crime.

ghostmist:
we are too divers and at loggerheads most of the time.... thus, given overriding ethnic interests, one can safely conclude that we can never muster the unity required to send anybody away.

Forget unity, there is no unity anywhere in the world not even within specific clans. Somalia country with a single ethnic group is the most politicaly devided country in the world. What we need is unity of values and ideas

redsconsult:
who are the politicians...its me and you... we have refuse to act right and allow our thiefing brothers to rule and decide for us....

We will never get it right until we make a move to get things right...

Lets start from somewhere...

If its the constitution that is the problem lets write our own constitution and send it through 100million youth protests. ..
Lets march to senators houses in millions demanding the passage of our own constitution. .. dont allow them peace of mind until our will be done....

Lets write a new national athem and revist so many issues...

Lets fight once and for all...

One luv nigeria

The nigerian politicians do not represent the average Nigerian, they are picked from the dregs of the society - former drug dealers, thugs and criminal civil servants. Brilliant, innovative and sincere Nigerians like ymodulus and others will not be allowed to get near the political space, not even local government councillor.

We cannot change the constitution without changing the politicians, the current politicians are ready to fight to the end to preserve the status quo, where only them spend 70% of all our earnings plus borrowings, while even the 30% that was supposed to be spent on us is looted.

For example after the Brexit vote, the British people has to change their politicians, they know that the present politicians who benefitted from Britain being in Europe cannot lead them out of Europe. The difference is that changing politicians in Britain is easy unlike what we have in Nigeria where politicians are ready to fight to the death to remain in office.

redsconsult:
the structure cant be done by this same leaders who are benefiting from sucking us dry tru the present system. ..
The structure is not the problem neither the politicians. .. the problem is us for not uniting in one voice and send them away...

The politicians are the ones that imposed this fraudulent structure, that only favours them on us, and they are vehemently opposed to changing it. You cannot change the present structure of the Nigerian state without changing the current politicians.

Ogonimilitant:
I am so touched. Could this be real? I feel like weeping. To those I have offended with my tribal comments, please forgive me and forget. I have decided to be a Nigerian first before an Ogoni man. Our politicians are using us for their own personal interest.

APC and PDP are the same people. They eat and attend social functions together. What future do we have the youths?

On the other thread some good citizens decided to transfer money to many of us that are begging for food to eat. I am very sure they are not politcians.

He gave to many never asked if they were Igbo Yoruba Ogoni or Hausa. See how grateful they are and how 3k was so much money to them.

In one Nigeria I stand.

The revolution has started. The next phase is to get rid of all criminal politicians, whether they are from our tribe, our religion or even our family. The Nigerian youth seem to be waking up from their slumber.

Ymodulus, you should be a model for Nigerian youths, you do not have time for APC/PDP senseless fights, you do not engage in wailers/zombies debate and I have never seen you waste time discussing IPOB/Avengers/ Boko Haram. You do not even have time for tonto dike, tiwa savage or davido gossips. While other youths are wasting their time in churches, crusades, night vigils, fellowships, etc, You just spend your energy on improving your life and that of others. If we could get just 100 of your type in Nigeria, we would be on our road to renaissance.

agarawu23 , ayo7 and hadura39, I have a proposal for you. Join hands with ymodulus to make this your generosity a more permanent thing. I am sure there are many fairly well to do Nigerians who want to also give a token to help desperately poor Nigerians. You can create a platform where such people can donate and between yourselves determine Nigerians who deserves to be helped.

I think it would make better sense for Nigerians to donate to such worthy cause than to pay tithes to already wealthy pastors.

On a lighter note, due to the present economic hardship, below are pictures of Nigerians protecting their food.

whirlwind7:
I understand where you are coming from, bro.

Do you know why till this day, a nationwide revolution has not begun? It is simply because Nigeria is not a united country. We are not one, and we have never been one. I don't see it happening, EVER.
Once a section of the country feels they are being shortchanged, all the government needs to do is appoint someone from that region into a certain position, and what happens next is, the people will say, "well, one of us has been appointed. Let's wait and see how things go. Maybe the government has remembered us afterall"
This happens consistently. It all boils down to tribalism along with it's varying interests. Now that we feel that the FG is appointing mostly Northerners, majority of the south complains. Once a prominent position is given to, say, someone from the SS, that region keeps quiet a bit. AS IF SUCH AN APPOINTMENT EVEN MEANS ANYTHING TO THE COMMON MAN IN THAT REGION!

It's not totally an issue of cowardice. No Igbo man will rise up in protest over a Yoruba village that gets ransacked by Fulani herdsmen. No Yoruba politician will lose sleep if Boko Haram suddenly wipes off an entire LGA in Damaturu. No Hausa man will lose his appetite if a sudden epidemic wipes off half the population of a rural community in the Niger Delta.

It's the same reason why, when a politician is being investigated for corruption, his kinsmen will rise up in protest, and call it witch hunting
It's also the reason why, every politician in power is like "I need to loot as much as I can lay my hands on right now". Knowing that it is a temporary position, without much accountability.

Bottom line, no tribe or groups of tribe is ready to lose his life over a country that most of us feel no allegiance or loyalty to. Will you, for instance, accept to lead a ragtag mob that decides to march to Aso Rock tomorrow morning? of course, you'd first ask yourself if you are the most affected from the hardship ravaging the country.
The very first factor that ensures a successful revolution is UNITY. Once everyone is unified in their political conviction and decide on achieving the same goal, then a revolution might just be looming. Go read up the history of countries that had a successful revolution. A united front was the common and overwhelming factor. As it is now, in Nigeria, it is every man for himself.

Gbam! You hit the nail on the head 90%. Where you made an error is to assume you require unity for a successful revolution. No, you do not require unity of ethnicity or religion to achieve revolution. What you need is unity of Values and unity of purpose. The US was not UNIFIED before the American revolution. A revolution is actually an idea, it is a means of achieving an ideology. On what ideology will a Nigerian revolution be based? the right to solely control and enjoy our natural resources?
The problem with Nigeria is that we have wrong values and Ideology. We all want to make money, enjoy life and live ostentatious lives without working for it. The minute we change this mind set, then the revolution has began.

My advice to the OP and fellow Nigerian youth; Use your Education, training, skills and resources to innovate and create. The reason you go to school is to enable you acquire knowledge and skills to create value for yourself or another person (your employer).

The fact that you wrote this;

At least if light dey, I go watch TV, I go the chat with phone, connect with people so as to forget my plenty sorrows

means you have got your priorities wrong. So who is going to pay for the electricity you will use for to watch TV, chat with phone and connect with people?

We are now operating a capitalist system, government is not expected to give you electricity or any other service. The electric companies have been sold and now in private hands, just like telecommunications, so hold the DISCOS or GENCOS responsible or the person that sold our power infrastructure to them.

There are tons of simple services and goods you can create to make money. Some Illiterate Hausas started the practice o using plain CD with L.E.D. and batteries in a wooden frame as crude touch before the chinese started making recharge lamps and lanterns for us. Meanwhile we have graduates of Electrical engineering looking for Jobs in government offices and banks. My friend who graduated from electrical engineering in the 90s was making tons of money just repairing UPS for companies. His one room boysquarters was fill to the brim with UPS. It is a shame that the telecom companies have to resort to importing technicians from South Africa and India to repair and maintain their telecoms equipments (both hardware and software). Even at personal level, i have a boy who has never been to a tertiary institution, who on his own violation come to my office at least once a month to check on my computer systems. I pay him for jobs done.

Boko haram and ISIS are fighting to establish a caliphate at core Moslem domitated cities and country. That is why country Like Turkey would be experiencing terror from time to time. Isreal sitting between Islamised countries yet no atom of attack like their neighbouring countries is cos their territory is ridden of moslem worshippers and ISIS have no business with countries where they don't have majority. US has historical score with middle eastern countries which explain the fight against them.
If Biafra secede from Nigeria, the implication will be Boko haram strengthening their fight against core northern states and move into western states where there is Majority moslem.

That's why I am telling my people , the seed of Islam they are planting in Afikpo and owerri will one day backfire. It might look peaceful today but in 100 years or more it won't be peaceful at it seems.

Biggest fallacy of the century. No attack on Israel? No month passes by without an attack on Israel.The Israeli - Palestine conflict is not a religious in any way, it has been century old conflict over land ownership, and until it is resolved, it will linger for centuries more. The Palestinians are not trying to convert the Jews to Muslims.

Judeoxide:
Your thought though
But isreal is seating at the middle of Arab deadly nations yet very much alive... Although I still don't support the move for biafra..


You sound like ndi ofe mmanu AKA double edge sword

Israel has the mighty US and as its protector and ally. Who is going to protect Biafra from its enemies?

Pedrop:
Cc wirinet.


You should tell us how unstable the muslim nation we will leave behind will be and not how Biafra with no muslim fanatics will become unstable.



We wouldn't mind building the tallest and strongest wall in the world to block almajiris and their yoruba folks from entering our bother if not legally.



It will be no business of ours if Isis runs your muslim nation down then.



I believe this trash is coming from toruba as i know this is one of their fears rejecting Biafra but won't accept it openly that Igbos are saving yorubas from the jaws of islam.

Just one unstable country can destabilize all surrounding countries and beyond. An unstable Afghanistan provided base for Al-Qaeda to destabilize Pakistan and the whole of the middle east. An unstable Somalia has serious consequence on Kenya. An unstable Libya destabilized Mali and even Nigeria. Boko Haram, even without a base yet has a destabilizing on not just Nigeria, but also Cameroon, chad and Niger. Imagine if Boko Haram is able to establish a base in the north east, you think your so called Biafra would have peace?

apcisevil:
What concerns isis, terrorists and concern biafra? Abeg tell that your arewaodustan

You think that if Boko Haram takes over south east and establish their caliphate there, Biafra will be safe? I am amazed at your ignorance.

chivic:
The position of a chairman is more ceremonial and political in nature.But the GMD oversees the running of the organization,and has a major say. It's just like asking ;who is in charge of the country? APC chairman or president (GMD)
The chairman only presides over meetings and make some political decisions. However,employment,Staffing and other internal running of NNPC will be in the hands of the GMD.He is the Manager and the most feared individual in the corporation

So would you have preferred kachukwu to be retained as the GMD and have another person appointed as the chairman of the board? It is wrong to have the same person as the chief executive and the chairman of the board of director of an organization.

TheFreeOne:
Is Buhari not acting a dual role as minister of petroleum Buhari should resign too as president and become APC chairman.

Your logic no make sense.

According to the presidential system of government, the president is the minister of ministers. All executive powers reside in the president. According to Buhari, ministers are simply people he sends to make some noise.

RedCapChief:
Alison-Madueke was Chairman of the Board and Honourable Federal Minister of Petroleum.
Don't pretend like you're not aware of the second part of her job description

Ibe kachukwu is as good as the substantive minister of petroleum, because he reports to no other person than the president. All ministers report directly to the president, who has the final say in any matter he chooses to.

bayooooooo:
Thomas John is T.Y Danjuma's candidate.
Pius Akinyelure is Tinubu's candidate. They have been friends since their days in Mobil.

Not just friends, chief Pius Akinyelure was Tinubu's boss at Mobil, he was finance director and Tinubu was chief accountant.

SeverusSnape:
I came to look at the name of the person he replaced him with, And I wasn't disappointed, Buhari can't conceal his nepotism. Since southerners aren't qualified, according to zombies, Let him continue appointing the core northerners who are more qualified.

I did not know that according to wailers, Dr Thomas M.A John, Dr Pius O. Akinyelure, Dr Tajuddeen Umar are core northerners. Why not give use names if core southerners who are more qualified.

KingEbukasBlog:
Adtually , I think Adam and Eve were superhumans and created each uniquely - possessing the ability to produce diversity over a long time . God is supernatural , so we can't conclude that Eve could be adams clone because of the rib . God must have ingrained the information in them during creation evidently seen in diversity today





God permitted incest because it was the expedient thing to do . Such is not obtainable now

This post concludes what this whole thread is about. The bolded word gives away the essence of all of kingebuka's arguments. They are what he thinks, his thoughts and fantasies. At least he confessed that they are not Christian dogma or bible teachings.

realmindz:
KingEbukasBlog, lemme tell u wats gonna apen to u. You will continue to make explanations for your god and religion, attempting to fit science into bible and make it satisfy ur delusions until one day u'll run out of excuses and give it up...

You r supposed to be a smart person and I think u are, defending religious beliefs with scientific facts is not an easy thing at all...but it's DOD...Dead on Arrival but u giving it a good fight...



Enjoy till u stop fighting reality someday and give it up.



Now to adam and eve, of course we all came from those two jews, African sun burnt our ancestors to become black, dey ate too much pounded yam to have thick lips and broad nose. Every other disparities are wonders of God to test our faith

I think religion leads to a condition known as cognitive dissonance, a situation where someone looses touch with reality. This explains why a Muslim fundamentalist would blow himself/herself apart because promise of enjoyment in heaven or kingebuka is ready to kill his reasoning faculty to make his own version of Paradise.

Kingebuka thinks differences in races shows only in skin colour. He is completely ignorant of the fact that races can be differentiated by height, eye colour and shape, bone texture, hair texture and length and all physical features. There are lots of negroids that have lighter skin than some Caucasians.

KingEbukasBlog:



Adam and Eve possessed the genes to produce black, brown, and white offspring (and everything else in between). This would be similar to how a mixed-race couple sometimes has children that vary in color. Since God obviously desired humanity to be diverse in appearance, it makes sense that God would have given Adam and Eve the ability to produce children of different skin tones.


God obviously permitted inbreeding because it was the expedient thing to do after creation . As the moral lawgiver , he did not permit it again .

This post qualifies for the dumbest post of the century. This post reeks of so much ignorance that you calls to question the cognitive ability of the writer.
So kingebuka is insinuating that Adam and Eve were of different races when they were made. I thought the Bible implied that Eve was a clone of Adam, meaning their genes must be identical, since a sample (rib) was taken from Adam to create Eve. How then did their genes contain different genes to produce children of different races. Since Adam's genes are supposedly identical to Eve, their children should be exact replica of the parents, unless you are saying the genes of the children became different through mutation (evolution)

The moral lawgiver permitted incest then because it was moral then, but the same moral lawgiver then repented and made incest immoral. So is incest fundamentally moral or immoral?

KingEbukasBlog:
You need to go back to the basics bro . God does not "repent " . That's a topic for another day .

God does not repent? Then please explain the following verses;
Genesis 6:6

6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Exodus 32:14

14 And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.


1 Samuel 15:35

35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

Sit down and get schooled

The sixth dispensation, the one in which we now live, is the Dispensation of Grace. It began with the New Covenant in Christ’s blood .The seventh dispensation is called the Millennial Kingdom of Christ and will last for 1,000 years as Christ Himself rules on earth. This Kingdom will fulfill the prophecy to the Jewish nation that Christ will return and be their King. The only people allowed to enter the Kingdom are the born-again believers from the Age of Grace and righteous survivors of the seven years of tribulation. No unsaved person is allowed access into this kingdom. Satan is bound during the 1,000 years. This period ends with the final judgment . The old world is destroyed by fire, and the New Heaven and New Earth of Revelation 21 and 22 will begin.

This means you asked an illogical question - there would be no need for moral laws since man will become infallible in the next dispensation , the seventh dispensation.

Where did you get all gibberish you wrote up there. It looks a story from a fantasy novel like The Chronicles of Narnia.

KingEbukasBlog:
Incest is against God's law in this dispensation . But sir seun , do you permit this type of vituperative attack on a forum of such cachet ?

God is against Incest in this dispensation but supported it in the last dispensation, meaning he has repented. What about the next dispensation, will he change his mind again?

KingEbukasBlog:
Incest is sexual activity between family members or close relatives. This typically includes sexual activity between people in a consanguineous relationship. Atheists subscribe to subjective morality, so the question should not be a problem.

When I mean sexual activity , I mean consensual sexual activity just for the pleasure and not for procreation .

A more lucid question : Would you sleep with your mum if it is consensual ?

Most atheists, especially those with scientific background would frown at incest, not just between humans but also between all animals. It degrades the gene pool as offsprings of such relationships suffer serious genetic degradation. Even the dynasty of the great Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamen was ended due to incest.
The irony of your question is that the Jewish religion which is the progenitor of Christianity promoted and encouraged incest. Abraham married his half sister, Isaac, his son married his cousin. I do not even want about Noah who slept with his daughters.

Richirich713:
Here's what king asked:



Nearly every atheist response ignore the "just for pleasure and not for procreation" part, most atheists responses focused on inbreeding and the bible, that I think is bad answers.

And what do you mean by " just for pleasure and not for procreation,," are you telling us that you can separate sexual activities for strictly pleasure from those that can lead to procreation?

hopefulLandlord:
I'm an atheist but Ebuka was specific about in.ce.st for "pleasure", meaning so long pregnancy and childbirth don't result from it, so this point is invalid

And how can you be 100% certain that pregnancy would not result from any sexual relationship? No contraceptive is 100%, not even condom.

Zzyco:
No I think atheist want to make God the look like the victim, leading to their change in believe. Why don't they blame the devil also? Follow the op write up, and see for yourself.

What are we to bläme the devil for? How many humans had ever been killed by the devil? What evil thing has the devil done to humans? Bible references please

Which masterstroke? ike Ekweremmadu could not masterstroke when he sits down with fellow senators (including Fulani and Yoruba senators) to share constituency projects . Senator Ike Ekweremmadu did not remember to wear Igbo traditional attire to the senate when collects over N40 million per month as deputy senate president ( for the past 6 years ), it is now he is having issues in the power play between the political elites he remembers to masterstroke to deceive the youth.
