Its a shame that after all these while, you are just realizing how hopeless your fatherland is.
Whats going to happen to your so-called nairaland/internet revolution?

You need serious counselling.

PepERSprAY:

To err is human. Bankole is still perfect for the job.

What is this suppose to mean. Who says corruption is a divine thing. Imagine all our looters called leaders saying this statement, what furure do we have for Nigerians.

Pls what makes him perfect for the job? Is it his mastery for looting or perfection for deception or his excellence for diverting away from real issue?

All our leaders? Heck, that seems to be the accepted mindset in Nigeria as a whole. To Err is human so we continue to allow them sit for years committing the same old sins while we keep pulling out the same line as excuse for them. Roflmao!!!

Peeps come around here and write a whole lot of stupid things .

(Bankole wants to become gov of and that why he is stealing, stupid careless talk i would say.)
If Keyamo has so much facts as he claimed, let him go to court, afterall he is as lawyer, wetin lawyer dey do sef.. Sometimes the guy rakes more than his mentor.

Facts are sacred and as far as am concerned the documentary evidences he his bandying about are from both PAN and FIRS and Bankole has referred him back to these agencies.

We should stop seeing everybody in public office as thieves.

Sometimes the damage we do to ourselves as Nigerians is insanely unbelievable.

Na wa o, coming from Bankole, it would be very disappointing if confirmed true. So much for giving the Younger Generation the opportunity.

ilugunboy, take am easy. we all can be dumb and you are the smart one.stop being unnecessarily optimistic.
i used to to think like you for a very short while until i reverted back to reality.
they are all thieves. tell me one person in public office who is not a thief?
i mean just one person!!
the system is structured in such a way that only thieves can survive it.
what we can start talking about is the degree of thievery (lovely word  )
I have since lost hope in this system, iam only disappointed in those who are just realising that now.
my biggest problem is not the stealing, it is the insane level of amassing stolen wealth.
look at all the money Alamesigha stole, those it point to a sane mind?have you been to Bayelsa state and seen the state of undevelopment?

at the end of the day, what good thing can you point to as Bankole's achievement during his tenure, both as a speaker or an ordinary house member?
what do you mean by evidence? how can you buy 380 luxury cars and have no discount? how can you pay for one thing and be supplied another? if it is your money will you do same?
these are simple straight forward issues that do not need extensive explanations.
my own is still small but do something meaningful for the masses.
if the benin - ore - onitsha - sagamu road was fixed by Annenih/Allison Maduekwe and in the process they pocketed 15 million naira, who go vex?
if Nepa was fixed and in the process Agagu stole 30 million naira, who go complain?
guy, leave am the aim of politicians in Nigeria is to steal the treasury blind. that is their only aim. they are not interested in you and me.
all this one wey Simon Kolawole , rueben abati and pat Utomi dem dey write and talk plenty, they are on their own.
have you asked yourself who dey buy up all these bank public offers wey dey sell out all the time?
bros leave am.Keyamo should enjoy himself but nothing go happen. nothing will come out of this. you can note that.
Bankole can speak all the queen's english he likes but it will not change anything.
what happened to Iyabo Obasonjo?

Na wa O!
All this talk.
I beg don't judge the guy yet.

@mbulela,

I would take it one after the other.

1. Am sorry you have lost hope in this country, too bad, but I have not. Not that I have much choice anyway.

2. You missed the point when you say all politicians are thieves, thats absolutely not true, metioning names won't make you change your mind.

3.I won't place Bankole on judgement now, that can only be reasonably done after his tenure.

4. Yes, we had always have thieves in the system and we will always have, however because they are in majority still does not equate that all are thieves.

5. We like talking from our comfort zone, without an idea of the process of running a govt inst. like the NASS. Let get involved somehow.

Please stop believing that all public officials are thieves.

For Flipping Fuc.k sake, is everyone now corrupt in Nigeria or what?!

@ilugunboy,
mention a few names. try me you might convince me!!
the fact that i have no other choice in terms of 1. in your response is the reason why i am still on the look out for a reason to believe otherwise. all i see are reasons to be further entrenched in my belief that all is lost.
the very political system is set up to encourage corruption. tell me how then can their be no corrupt one?
i cahllenge you that those you think are spotless might be that you just have not heard their complete story.
remember, i am not bothered about their corruption, what bothers me is the insane way they amass wealth and secondly the fact that they are not doing anything for the country.absolutely nothing!!!
they have prepared another budget of trillions of naira for 2009. tell me what was done with that of 2008?
in order countries they host FIFA competitions and declare profit. here, Amos adamu and his cohorts just siphon the money and it is business as usual.
u need to know how many sport administrators almost developed high BP when yar' adua threatened to cancel 2009 u-17.
you think say na for the love of the game?
you know how many billions have been stolen in the name of fertilizer distribution, yet food production dey dwindle at an alarming rate.
bros, i tire,

@mbulela,

You enjoy selective comparism a lot!. See how you are picking names selectively,

Honestly mentioning names wil never going to change your mind.

Let me come out plain. I happens to have a close relationship with Dimeji and I can assure you on this case of Peugeot, his clean.

PepERSprAY:

funmi, i guess you wont use that word if he was one of your lazy people that dont believe in hard  work or mr okoro from umuahia?

PepERSprAY:

You need serious counselling.

Really, when you are giving Bankole thumbs up for corruption?
You can never stop proving your real self and intentions.

@ ilugunboy,
thank you for your sincerity.
i appreciate it.
i have given you examples, the onus lies on you to give me a free examples to prove otherwise. abi?
as usual, nothing will come out of the investigation or whatever stupid panel the house has set up, so we will never know (in that sense).

Really, when you are giving Bankole thumbs up for corruption?
You can never stop proving your real self and intentions.

He is innocent until proven guilty. This is another ploy by the Hausas against the Yorubas using Keyamo. What happened to the IBB's, Atiku's, Abubakar's that stole Nigeria to bankruptcy?

funmi, i guess you wont use that word if he was one of your lazy people that don't believe in hard work or mr okoro from umuahia?

Didn't I give thieves like Buhari and Atiku a benefit of the doubt?. This Bankole issue is trivial when compared to what our officials are doing in office. It is a non issue.

steaming:

I strongly believe in the younger generation more than the older ones.

I had very high hopes for this boy thinking with the kind of intelligence Etteh has just anyone will be fine for that seat. He has turned out to be intellectually barren. I weep for Nigeria each time this boy grants an interview . Keyamo, more grease to your elbow. I hope this path will lead Bankole direct to jail

Bankole is innocent. This is another ploy by greedy, evil and corrupt Northerners to paint a southerner black. The annoying thing is that they are using a southern stooge to achieve their aim. Shame on you Keyamo.

@PEPERSPRAY
A coward reason like this. if one is blind does that also affect his or her ears? we all watch media listen to Radio, even news paper is part of the source of this trash. In conjuction with yesterday drama you will conclude that this country has no where to go in term of development! so what are you insinuating?

Bankole is a guy I truly feel can do something for the younger generation begin a young man himself but if this allegation turns out to be true,I will be very very disappointed. But I think kiyamo sometimes make some allegations that are not substantial.Anyway let see the way this one goes.

I'm still trying to understand the real allegation and this keyamo guy is not being helpful
he was one TV shouting at the top of his voice like the presenter is supposed to arrest the lawmakers
this guy is supposed to be a lawyer

is it that they didn't get what they ordered
they paid too much?
they didn't take up the discount?

to be honest it will be easier getting the ICPC to investigate rather than the same house of reps

Bankole, do you want to fail the youths of this nation because of money? Kai kai kai - after sleeping with the whole Abuja ladies, you still wan chop all our money? why, I ask you why? Pussie should be enough for you.

Mr. Dimeji Bankole came to the Speakership of the Nigeria’s House of Reps, when Ms. Patricia Etteh, the erstwhile crooked and incompetent speaker abandoned decency and stole herself into disrepute and impeachment. But this house is on the news again. Most of the reasons why Etteh was probed and sacked have assumed other forms and are being mercilessly perpetrated in the same House of filth. Some have even begun to ask why Etteh was sacked in the first place, when other more potent and equal opportunity embezzlers are still on call.

The probe of Bankole will achieve one of two things! It either exposes him to an indictment and consequent impeachment; or it is politically manipulated to keep him in office. If he is impeached, his replacement will be sought from the same corrupt pool! This is because, the Nigerian legislature is a house erected on corruption. That is why what they are doing in the name of probe is simply a circus. Many of those guys there are there on a stolen mandate. This explains their recalcitrance in passing the Freedom of Information Bill. They are aware that the passage of that bill tantamount to self-destruction for them. Nigerians will then be empowered to ask questions and would have the right to access information in relation to their questions. To this end, these guys will never pass that bill. They are ready to wait it out until public opinion dies down, and business continues as usual.

Bankole if found guilty of any wrong doings in the contract scandal should be fired with immediate effect and be made to face the music. The audacious impunity of Nigerian politicians lends steady credence to Chinweizu’s assertion that until we start beheading thieves in power, Nigeria will never know felicity or development. The goings on in the Nigerian power corridors makes it extraordinarily difficult to believe the obverse. Nigerians are getting gradually fed up. And the day that Nigerians will say enough, Ghana’s brand of revolution under Rawlings will be the antics of spoilt kids in relation to what Nigeria will experience. The Tsunami is coming! But our politicians are eternally deaf and blind, until their heads follow!

This is still an allegation ooo, nobody is sure yet and it's better to wait before casting stones. Bankole is still innocent until proven guilty.

It is better to shut your mouth if you don't know what to say.

Why are you worrying yourself over the rantings of that charge and bail lawyer called Keyamo?

Why are Nigerians so eager to shout in the markeplace?

PollMaster:

Why are Nigerians so eager to shout in the markeplace?

Because they want their voice to be heard.

so many scenarios, so many arguments, so many fights. WHO IS READY FOR A CHE GUVERRA STYLE REVOLUTION? A JERRY PAWLINGS REVO? who?

The National and state Assemblies are populated by people who were not voted, but got in there tru means we can't really say. How many of u guys even voted in the last elections? or even registered? or have u presented urselves as candidates? Did u read the read the begining of this thread, the National Assembly has witnessed the fall of 4 Senate Presidents and 1 speaker, from where is the next Speaker going to be picked from?

As Nigerians, our national past time is blame shifting and name calling. Its always nice to point fingers, like sumone here saying he is close to Bankole and on dis issue, he is innocent, fa fa fa fooowwwl, in Naija, it is ,"GUILTY UNTILL PROVEN INNOCENT", mind check, the corpers issue at the delta.

i once did an opinion poll ( u won't see the results anywhere) about relatives of government officials. My simple question was, "IF YOUR FATHER OR MOTHER WAS MADE A MINISTER, AND AFTER 3 YEARS, NO NEW HOUSE, NO LOOTED FUNDS, JUST HONEST SERVICE TO THE COUNTRY, WAT WOULD U DO" and on every occassion, the answer was always, i'll steal on his behalf/i'll disown him/ y will he wen its our time to steal. so guys untill we start a revolution to cleanse the land, NAIJA wil be like dis. As a people, we move around with too many excess lugages, yes we do. school fees here, house rent there and the likes.

Our national fabric is worn out morally. Wat is the moral justification of the Integrity Group in the Lower House in exposing this episode? abeg i tire.

BUT Naija is the only country i have and we must build it together. BUT first, we need a revolution!
