This Committee wants to exhume a case that was signed, sealed, delivered and buried after 10 years Don't they have more pressing issues to attend to ? Okay you want to recover the money ( impossible) or jail Odili (another iimpossibility).
In any case why jump to 1999-2007? What of all those governors that served from 2007-2015?
Maybe they have approached Odili and he refused to their party .

GIONEE.

Did you read the post ? It said phones that you hate not names of phones you know.
Now, what's your grudge with GIIOONNEEEE ?

by HisSexcellency(m):
both apc and pdp rigged the edo elections, its just a matter of who out-rigged the other, both parties payed electorates to vote for them...... apc were more cordinated in there rigging, they knew quite well where and how to rig in each local government.
Its simple, pdp was beaten in its own game

See crooked rationalization. In other words, APC and PDP are corrupt because it suits your imagination and serves your purpose. Why then is your boss seeing problems only with the PDP in his corruption fight if, according to you, what was good for the goose was even better for the gander.

What can I say . Only EFCC and the presidency know why this is so. My only concern is that over 90% of Nigerians have lost confidence in the credibility of the corruption fight.

herbie27:
They all know what's coming for them comes 2019.
You used Chibok girls as yardstick to judge the previous istration, but on wheeling power yours is even worse than the previous istration.

Your yardstick to be judged are numerous.
Recession.
Naira fall.
Chibok girls
Inefficiency/dummies
Looting
Electoral malpractice.
Etc.

Hmm . Don't be so sure o .What happened during the Edo election may be a child's play come 2019 - forging, tampering and padding election results.

babestella:




Whether he declared it or not, the issue here is "How did he get the money"?

I could declare I have 20 Private jets, does that make the money used in buying it clean. NO, how I made the money is more important than declaring whether I have it or not.

Right . The EFCC should now investigate or has the CCB done their job as well ?

madridguy:
The robbers self no get chill @ all. For independence day, they still wanna make people cry.
Meanwhile, Oshogbo people are just too nice. I can't even see any blood stain on the thief.

Dejiih001:

That's Oshogbo for you.

EasternActivist:
is them them

Meanwhile don't be so shocked as Yorubas and money ritual are like [/color]

And yet no millionaires and billionaires to show for it. Dumb .

lielbree:

That will break up Nigeria. Pmb won't try it

Who will break up Naijeria ? Make I hear word jare.
"The crowded market has not noticed the people standing and you're talking about the people sitting".

What is our government really up to ? - if we have any.
And yet some people are rejoicing that another APC istration is to be installed in Edo state. Nigeria is in real trouble.

Nigeria's problems are really deep rooted. So, with what APC foisted on Nigeria ( recession, depression, cluelessness etc etc etc) and the way it is going about governance, it was still possible that people voted for them? I doubt this election results or is that some of the Edo people sold their conscience for a plate of porridge ( #2,000 / vote as was reported)?

APC and sharing money during elections are like bread and butter. I'm an eye witness during the 2015 generals elections in Lagos. If only Edo people will refuse to sell their conscience.

Meanwhile, Boko Haram attack in two different attacks killed at least eight Nigerian soldiers in Borno state.

It is obvious that Boko Haram is still very much around and our soldiers are doing everything possible to contain them.
Why then even contemplate Swapping with "Chibok Girls" when this deal will reinforce their strength. I thought prisoners exchange is a post war thing.

"Those who stole Nigeria dry are not happy. They recruited the militants against us in the Niger Delta, and began to sabotage oil infrastructure. We lose millions of barrels per day, at a time when every dollar we can earn, counts. It is a disgrace that a minimum of 27 states, out of 36 that we have in Nigeria, can't pay salaries".

My question then is : Who financed /sponsored Boko Haram that fought and distracted the previous istration? Among the two agitators which one has a more reasonably equitable demand? Corruption is more than looting /stealing.

http://www.timesng.com/news/top-news/211236-7-billion-i-wont-apologise-soludo-falana.html

After reading the above article and most of the comments made in ignorance by people, I have decided, henceforth, to use utmost restraint in ing judgement based on a one sided story. In other words, no more media trials and convictions. Is Soludo not exonerated now? Not only Falana but all of you that tagged Prof Soludo " a thief " and other derogatory names must also apologize.

Agreed. Nobody is above the law. Justice must prevail.
The issue here is EQUITY.
Justice without equity will always breed discontent. If it is you, will you like it?

Hehehe. I am liking this news. APC, forging, tampering and padding are like. ..................

Are you see what I am saw?
Former president Jonathan is on probe and trial.
How? Can you really separate the head from the tail of a coin? Or are they divorced now? If Jonathan owns these properties after being a Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President, Acting President and President over a period 16 years,( a record) ,is it too much?
EFCC should take it easy and, Mr President, please call your boys to order. Vengeance may be okay but forgiveness is a nobler virtue. the biblical injunction: " Any of you without sin should cast the first stone ". Thus saith the Lord.
Also do the Shakespearean play: SHYLOCK and the unforgiving demand for the pound flesh. You know how the drama ended.

QuotaSystem:


So you suggest it's better to let the impunity continue because no first thief has been punished before?

You're joking. PEJ must fully for those funds or face the courts for her punishment.

NO. HE IS TALKING ABOUT EQUITY.

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the programme of events for the commemoration of Nigeria’s 56th independence anniversary.

There is no mention of celebration here ( for those who were hasty to comment) . So let's hope it will be a low key thing considering the state of the economy.
Not a Buhari fan though.

Bad egg.
Anyway this goes to show how the agency goes about fighting corruption for Buhari. The offender's name is immaterial - if you know what I mean.

There is a very big disconnect between us Nigerians and our president. Why does he always report us to foreigners anytime we sponsor him abroad - like a class prefect reporting recalcitrant students to the principal. What does he really want to achieve by these careless, unguarded and unpresidential utterances.
TALK TO US MR PRESIDENT AND STOP WASHING OUR DIRTY LINENS IN PUBLIC. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

I've said it elsewhere and I repeat : All politicians , without exception, have skeletons in their cupboards.The fact that one of them is being investigated is simply because the investigative agencies and the C-in-C have vowed to use every " law " at their disposal to, so to say, break that person's cupboard to expose the 'skeleton'. If only they can beam their searchlight with the same intensity, zeal, scrutiny and enthusiasm on " their own ".
Well, some will say " use all means to get justice ".
My contention is " What of EQUITY "?
It's most likely that this victim of vindictiveness is not the wealthiest Nigerian first lady - dead or alive.
Same here with the immediate past president - her husband.

So many prominent and knowledgeable Nigerians have been advising this istration to form a stronger and more qualified Economic team to manage the current situation. This simply implies that the current team is incompetent and clueless.
Yet some of the governors - who, by the way, have been demystified, want the status quo to continue for God knows why. That vote could never have been unanimous.
APC Governors ko, monthly handouts/bailouts ni.

You want to know what I feel about Buhari and APC,
ANNOYING! The type that makes you dumbfounded.

EFCC, Buhari and APC stop diverting our attention from your ineptitude and cluelessness. Arrest Patience Jonathan and her husband , recover all recoverables from them and imprison them if that will solve all our problems. Whereby it doesn't, the shame will be yours. Mtcheew.

simplycarro:


Enjoy the holiday. But please don't force any Nigerian to stay off the SE.

Bros abi auntie, for your safety, better stay away from the SE that day - as in on the monthly environmental sanitation days. See, even the bishops don't want any wahala.

The EFCC has powers only to prosecute while the courts convict. Or is Magu also a judge?
By the way, where is the immediate past chairman of EFCC? On the run or studying abroad? Mama Peace may not be a grammarian but she is definitely not dumb.

If care is not taken, the controversy would go beyond uniforms to the right of students of different faiths to observe their different " hours of prayer " on the school premises which would also be within their "fundamental human rights " . Would we then build the school time table around " prayer hours ".
