Revealed !!! How Dino Melaye Decieved Nigerians by IjeomaObasi: 10:28am On Jan 11, 2013 |
The Global Centre for Conscious Living Against Corruption (GLOCCOLAC), an Anti- Corruption Civil Society Organization has once again beamed its search light on the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and undertook an in-depth investigation and fact finding exercise on the allegations against Elder Godsday Orubebe. Corruption has indeed ravaged the economies of so many countries with Greece inclusive. Nigeria is at the centre stage with staggering revelations and evidences of corruption emerging daily. Corruption is greatly responsible for the high poverty level in the Nigerian nation; this explains why the majority of the nation’s population are determined to fight this hydra headed monster to a halt. But in doing this, it becomes inevitably pertinent to insist on proper verification and fact- finding of information especially about public servants before feeding the public, as allegations of corruption are grave offenses. Fight against corruption must therefore be objective, precise, unearthing the truth, facts and realities of every corruption allegation as proof beyond all reasonable doubt in a court of competent jurisdiction as the case may be. For the purpose of clarity, let’s analyse these points one after the other. First, Mr Dino Melaye once alleged that the Minister of Niger Delta awarded phantom contracts to communities and project sites that were not in existence. GLOCCOLAC visited these communities as stated in the project title/description, that is, Canalization/River Training at Foupolo Bulou Ndoro Creek, Canalization at Odoubou Ogbobagbene and the site for Land Reclamation/ Shoreline Protection at Ogbobagbene in Burutu LGA of Delta State and discovered that these communities do not only exist in its real sense, but that Nigerian citizens are resident in these communities with well institutionalized Kings, Chiefs and Youths organizations respectively. We also discovered that the project sites are in existence with visible evidence of remarkable jobs executed by contractors. Secondly, Mr Melaye also alleged that the Minister inflated the contract sum from 6 billion to 29 billion naira and paid contractors all the sums up front. Investigation did not only reveal that the total contract sum was not only N6,060,947,257.00, but that the Ministry indeed owed the contractors due to poor budgetary allocation as only a mobilization sum of N909,142,090.00 was paid contractors. Again, Mr Melaye also ill informed Nigerians that by the River Training/ Canalization as stated in the job title/description, the Ministry trained the contractors and still awarded the contracts to same contractors so trained by the Ministry. Unknown to Melaye, River Training is a technical term used to describe the process of channelling a river to take a particular flow course. Fourthly, Mr Melaye also alleged that SETRACO built a mansion as bribe in the Minister’s parcel of land at Mabushi for the Minister having awarded a portion of the East- West road construction to SETRACO. Upon thorough and extensive investigation by GLOCCOLAC including a search in Abuja Environmental Geographical Information System (AEGIS), it was revealed that the property i.e. both Land and building does not belong to the Minister. It is the knowledge of Nigerians that any particular Ministry may decide to rent an accommodation for a Minister. This, from an extensive investigation is what the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs has done. Such act cannot be defined as corruption in any way. Again, the same Dino Melaye has also published some land titles, alleging that the undeveloped, empty land, for which our investigation reveals is located in the bush and remote suburb area of Abuja, belongs to the Minister. It is open knowledge that every Nigerian citizen and indeed the Civil Servants reserve the right to apply and indeed pay for such land allocations if granted. Now, from our investigations, the Minister as a public servant has applied and acquired empty land following due process. Owning undeveloped land in the bush, undeveloped area of Abuja by the Minister via a constitutional legal means as he has done is therefore legitimate and does not transmit nor is it tantamount to corruption by any definition as provided by law. The Global Centre For Conscious Living Against Corruption (GLOCCOLAC) therefore believes strongly that these allegations by Mr Dino Melaye is orchestrated. This is definitely not how to fight the corruption war. It is built in bad faith and therefore could be termed witch- hunting. These sort of baseless, unfounded allegations built on the premise of acquisition of kangaroo popularity by mutilating the integrity of persons who have distinguished themselves in selfless quality service delivery that has direct bearing with the lives and aspiration of citizens as patriots of the Nigerian nation, must stop. We must state here that being sponsored to black-mail, mutilate and subject the image of innocent, law abiding citizens is by itself corruption epitomized. In a telephone discussion, the minister said he was not ready to discuss issues concerning the masterminds of the falsehood but that he is heading to the court to seek redress. We advise Civil Society Organizations to insist on proper verification and fact finding before feeding the public so that the well deserved reputation of Civil Society Organizations will not be eroded with baseless, unfounded accusations. While we reaffirm our commitment to a genuine corruption combat, we warn corrupt officials in government to immediately desist forthwith as GLOCCOLAC will not hesitate to expose corrupt official and ensure that perpetrators of this heinous crimes face the full wrath of the law. We enjoin all Nigerians to remain united as together we must fight this monster of corruption which has ravaged our nation to a standstill. Long live a corrupt-free united Nigerian nation. DR. NWAMBU GABRIEL D.G. GLOCCOLAC. gloccolacanticorruption@gmail.com http://www.ekekeee.com/dino-melaye-anti-corruption-crusader-or/

Why did ur org single out Orubebe alone to research and counter all the corrupt charges put fort against him? What about other govt officials that have had corrupt stint in the past but are walking around free,What effort have u made to ensure the facts are made public & justice seems to be done?...My quastions are endless,but, IMO as long as it's a one man show.I smell propaganda. |

Nothing good ever comes out from the likes of Dino Melaye...he is just a specialist in the act of blackmail benefiting from the fake crusade against corruption for his own personal gain...abeg let's focus on something better. |
Re: Revealed !!! How Dino Melaye Decieved Nigerians by Demdem(m): 11:14am On Jan 11, 2013 |
At least we all know Dino for years as a very unstable man. peeps are being cautious about him but who and what the ffuck is GLOCCOLAC? for all i know one man (DR. NWAMBU GABRIEL - Orubebe's thug) can just be GLOCCOLAC Was it specifically set up to rubbish Dino's findings or what? where is ur office? membership? leaders? incorporated etc This seems to be Orubebe in action. Orubebe is a crook and thief. thats a fact. even his fellow militants will tell u such. East west road is still nothing to write home about. Under his supervisory ministry, NDDC contracts are being sold even right here on Nairaland. This group (Man) should simply go ffuck themselves (himself). |

Ijeoma Obasi: Oga Dr.Nwambu, I'm not saying you sound like a paid hack o, and, I'm not saying its clear that youre just another hungry desperado clearly looking for your next meal. All I'm saying is you dont sound like a neutral observer but instead sound like youre defending corruption while pretending to be battling it. I mean, look all the glowing words wey you take describe Orubebe, a known crook. In fact, bia, how come all your own "relentless investigations" could not produce a single picture or document to buttress your points meanwhile Dino Melaye's came with pictures and documents?! Anyway, sha, partisanship aside: WE DONT BELIEVE YOU, YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE! 2 Likes |

What is GLOCCOLAC? Hirelings in the guise of civil society whose stock-in-trade are political bootlicking and patronage. Orubebe should sue Dino if all the allegations made against him are false, but trust a thieving Orubebe would never do that! Orubebe is a thief and has been convicted in the court of public opinion! |
Re: Revealed !!! How Dino Melaye Decieved Nigerians by Demdem(m): 11:20am On Jan 11, 2013 |
In a telephone discussion, the minister said he was not ready to discuss issues concerning the masterminds of the falsehood but that he is heading to the court to seek redress. Besides, this issue has been pending for months now, what is stopping him? why is it taking so much time to head to court? Foolish set of people. Thieves. |

Demdem: At least we all know Dino for years as a very unstable man. peeps are being cautious about him but who and what the ffuck is GLOCCOLAC?Well said!!! Dino isn't a Saint but he's doing a lot to expose corruption in the current administration. While his motive is debatable, the exposure of the thieves in govt is commendable. I'd have taken the report a bit more seriously if it came from the ICPC or the CCB. As seen in the links below, Dino provided pictures of the said Mansion. If Orubebe will be exonerated, I'll expect either the ICPC or CCB to clear him of the allegations till then, he remains a SUSPECT... These f00ls should allow the "THIEF" to be investigated instead of seeking cheap popularity... www.leadership.ng/nga/articles/42760/2012/12/17/clark_calls_orubebes_investigation_over_corruption_allegation.html www.saharareporters.com/news-page/anti-corruption-activist-provides-photos-mansion-built-minister-orubebe-abuja www.saharareporters.com/news-page/godsday-orubebe-minister-power-accused-abuse-office-petition-goes-icpc |

Ijeoma Obasi: Dear Mr Nwambu, We may have been foolish enough to believe you actually represent a coalition of Nigerians against corruption...until your self-declared mission to research the allegation of corruption against Orubebe ended in you whitewashing his entire life and lauding him for 'integrity' we know practically no member of the FG's executive council has. However, if you insist you're a coalition against corruption, kindly draw up a timetable when you will research allegations of corruption against Dimeji Bankole, Farouk lawan, Doyin Okupe etc. Abi you only swing into action when banknotes are passed to your clammy paws? Rubbish |
