It doesn't also negate the fact that Buhari should probe every one of them if he has the balls to...
Yes. Thats a fact. But can you give the old man a chance to start from somewhere? He has decided to start with GEJ. You all called him a saint, if he was such a saint, then why you lot scared.

He isn't doing it singlehandedly,all the EFCC has to do is bring up their case files,investigate and issue out summons to every one of them if found guilty.. Is that too hard to do? Must he start from one person?it's not like he's doing it from the oval office,all he does is simply signing documents that's all...

Gullible mister, Why have these two failed to bring out the "classified evidence" despite GMB challenging them on several occasions?

Why didn't OBJ use the same "classified evidence" to nail GMB in the run-up to 2003 election which they both contested?

Why didn't IBB bring out the "classified evidence" when Buhari clearly and specifically dared him to do so. PMB even went ahead to reveal his other atrocities then.


Stop being gullible boy!

Empty threats from the brainless one...

He should go ahead and open the harliburton case then, if he claims he has no skeleton on his cupboard.



Big time Coward!

I have just told you the point I'm disputing, what's too difficult to understand in that?

There are very good reasons why PMB decided to limit the probe to the most recent past, but the reason is certainly not what the drunk author of that piece has stated in his report.
this post smells bias and curropt.what nonsense reason does the daulardd hav not to probe the past if not for the people involved in the dirty deals? You all are curropt, if the so call saint buhari you promote cannot muster the courage to presecute anyone connected with fraud irrespective of his or her socio econimic and political affiliation.

How on earth should we allow falsehood to be given credence? DO you know that story was picked up by google immediately it was posted? do you know other news media might believe it because they saw CNN's name on it? Do you know people will believe this false report and start spreading false rumor? Before i believe such news, i verify the source so i can distinguish facts from propaganda and falsehood, just like you would do before believing a story about someone you respect, whats wrong with that?
But you normally believe d false news from Sahara reporters without verifying?

Good. Then open your mouth to praise PMB as what GEJ could not do in 5 years, he is doing in 1 year. And if it is shadows as you call it, why do you lot lament. It is shadows then it shows he won't find GEJ of any wrong doing.

If thats the case, can you lot stop making noise and let him do his work?

Many of those wailing about Buhari allegedly burying the Haliburton scandal were keen supporters of a President that buried the reported theft of billions of dollars through the NNPC.

This is a reaction to the alleged CNN ireport that made frontpage this morning: https://www.nairaland.com/2519816/cnn-investigates-why-buhari-dumped/2#36870336

Its no news or surprise the extent to which the opposition and critics of the Buhari government are willing to go in spreading falsehood and preying on gullible minds for the sole aim of putting pressure on Buhari's government to back down on its anti-corruption stance.

On the alleged report, firstly, visiting the ireport CNN website, you will see a disclaimer clearly written on this questionable report by CNN (http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1259469) which reads:

CNN PRODUCER NOTE CNN iReport is the network’s user-generated news community. The stories here come from our audience and are not edited, fact-checked or screened before they post. If you think this iReport violates our community guidelines, please tell us by clicking on the "This is Inappropriate" button below. You can learn more about how iReport works on our About page. http://ireport.cnn.com/about.jspa

This clearly shows that this news was neither reported nor investigated by CNN. It was clearly the work of a person who has no way of getting any credible news media to investigate or clarify the questionable report, and the best the individual could do was run to the CNN ireport community to propagate falsehood. For the avoidance of doubt, anyone can report anything on CNN ireport website, just like anyone can report anything on nairaland website.

It will also interest you to know that this questionable report possibly has its roots from a vanguard news report on August 29, 2012 titled: Buhari Dares IBB, at a time when Buhari was a presidential aspirant under the platform of CPC. At that point, Buhari had dared IBB to expose any corruption facts he (IBB) had on him (Buhari) while also accusing IBB and other leaders of being the ones who destroyed this country. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/corruption-buhari-dares-ibb/

There are also insinuations that Kashim Afegbua who was implicated in this questionable news report no longer works for IBB


Conclusion
The alleged news report is misleading and should be dismissed as the work of propagandists and has nothing at all to do with CNN as it was not edited, fact-checked or screened before it was published on the ireport community website.

God Bless Nigeria

The point being disputed in the silly report is where it says PMB dropped the investigation of halliburton scandal and restricted all probes to the last regime out of fear after IBB and OBJ threatened to expose his involvement in the disappearance of $2.8billion and his shady deals as PTF head.


Meanwhile, the ireport was authored by one GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU, probably a Jonathanian writer. This has nothing to do with CNN.

I wonder o.

IBB overthrowed GMB in '85, why didn't he use the 2.8 scandal then?

Or he already saw 2015, and just patiently waited for 30 years?

Just making noise up and down to excite the change over switch but still no light. Can Buhari do anything about corruption or not. That is the question. So far it is one reason 'not to' after the other, one waiver and exemption after the other, one meeting after the other with the accused.

Is he going to add the Haliburton scandal to his anti-corruption manifesto, yes or no and if not he should be man enough to explain why not.

If I told you Mongolians used to travel many miles in the middle ages to come and hunt in Sagamu, would you think it is your obligation to prove the veracity of such claims or it should be on me?

The person that needs to state the veracity of the moronic claims is the fuuktard, erunz, who put it up with the lie that it was a CNN report.

Just a quick check of his profile would have told you he is a paid PDP internet warrior employed by some crooks to create distracting stories.

I stand being banned but fact is fact. It is time Seun and his moderators accepted the fact that they need to verify what they put on the home page for nairaland has grown to such a level whereby anything promoted to the front page can cause national unrest.
