1.) But even at that, Nigeria's income from oil has dwindled by about 65%, for a mono-culture economy like ours.
2.) Nigeria's Foreign Reserve has been looted dry (This we all know) by the last administration and their gang of thieves (Dasuki et al)
3.) Nigeria has accumulated very huge debt in the last six years so much so that our rating has fallen drastically.

If you put those three factors together, what you get is a currency that is so weak, it is just slightly above the Zimbabwean Dollars!

ABUJA—The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is set to reopen the trial of high profile politicians whose corruption cases had either been delayed or put in abeyance as a result of court injunctions.

A top management officer of the EFCC told Vanguard, yesterday, that the commission under the leadership of acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, was bent on reopening all the corruption cases involving top politicians, who were shielded by the court through perpetual injunctions that had temporarily tied the hands of the commission from prosecuting them.


Odili
Top on the list of those whose cases are to be reopened, is former Rivers State Governor, Dr. Peter Odili, who secured a perpetual injunction from a Federal judge barring the EFCC from investigating his eight-year tenure over alleged graft.

Justice Ibrahim Buba had granted a perpetual injunction restraining the EFCC from probing graft allegations its operatives levelled against the former governor.

The commission, however, filed an appeal against the ruling, which was described as strange by legal pundits. But the appeal has not made progress since it was instituted over four years ago.

However, the top EFCC operative vowed in an interview with Vanguard that all stumbling blocks to reopening the cases and similar ones would be removed by the Magu administration at EFCC with a view to bringing the former governor to book.

The top operative said that the new Criminal Justice Administration Act of 2015 has removed the stumbling blocks to prosecuting those who looted the nation’s treasury.

The senior management official of the commission said: “Let it be made clear that the EFCC will go after all cases that are deserving of investigation. There is nothing like perpetual injunctions anymore in our criminal administration justice code.

“We have a duty to investigate all cases since we are empowered by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to investigate all such corruption-related cases and that is what we are asked to do.

“We are empowered by Section 15 of the new Criminal Justice Administration Act to investigate all cases irrespective of injunctions. We cannot be stopped,” the official said.

The source confirmed that top officials in the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, who abused their office by fritting away huge national cash and assets would be summoned to clear the air on why they breached public trust.

Among those slated for questioning are former Minister of Finance & Coordinating Minister of the Economy in the last Administration, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and some former officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, who handled the disbursement of funds to the Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA.

Asked when the officials would be summoned, the official said no date had yet been fixed, adding, “I will find out and get back to you.”

In the meantime, the EFCC Chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, has established a Procurement Fraud Unit, PFU, to strengthen the fight against corruption in the country.

The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said in a statement to Vanguard, last night, that Magu made the disclosure in Abuja yesterday during a meeting with leaders of a coalition of civil society organisations.

Uwujaren said that Magu expressed concern over the increasing rate of procurement fraud and told his guests that the PFU would contribute immensely to the anti-corruption battle when it became operational.

“I am so concerned about procurement fraud. I am thinking of establishing a unit dedicated to procurement fraud. When put in place, it will go a long way in checking corruption,” Magu said.

His interest is not really odilli ...but Amaechi!

He would throw even Jonathan under the Bus ..... just to see if he can catch Amaechi!

But something tells me that Amaechi is beyond their reach...... unless providence wants to deal him a fatal blow.

Anyway, its not beyond "Baracanista" to format his brain , "receive sense", and revert back to what he was, before im chop out of Dasuki largesse!

As if fighting corruption would solve the fact that firms are closing down each day? the dwindling economy, depreciation in naira value, abi the hike in fuel or the bad roads romancing our cars, or probably leaving the unemployed unattended.

Please when will they invite Bankole, and his partners in crime?, this Dasuki's is a child's play to Bankole's loot. How about Farouk and Otedola's case, the pension fund etc. We are watching, I hope some people are not sacred cows or have bought Efcc perpetually?

No one should bite more than they can chew, at a single time!

When you want to "sort things out", you start from the easiest .....or those on-top!

Just keep a Diary of those people, their time will come very soon.
We cant over-stretch the EFCC since they have a limited number of staff and resources.

Let me also add: Logically, have you seen a warrior take on ALL HIS ENEMIES, at the same time?

You keep your "thieving friends" while fighting your "enemies" .... less you are forced to fight EVERYBODY and LOSE!

Time to fight your "friends" will come later, when you have defeated your enemies.
Its just common sense and strategy

This is a welcome development. Odili lootery is legendary and only surpassed by Amaechi. Probing Odili will definitely nail Amaechi as he was Odili's looter-in-crime

How many times have you seen Buhari personally arrest anyone.

You should be able to pick out that there will always be media frenzy surrounding cases of corruption all over the world. When Martha Stewart was being tried for tax evasion, even CNN dedicated sometime to follow the story. When the corruption cases at FIFA broke out and even FIFA president and UEFA president were suspended did it stop UEFA from having the CL or UEFA league? Did it stop FIFA from hosting the under 17 world cup?

From your analysis it show you just joined the band wagon of the illiterate that keep shouting that the government was focusing too much on corruption.

Whereas you and your co-travellers on that visionless bus forgot the first few weeks that PMB travelled to neighbouring countries. Precisely Niger, Chad, Cameroun, Benin. Was that also for corruption.

Was his trip to the US for corruption?
Was his trip to india on trade relations for corruption?
Was his trip to the China-Africa trade summit also for corruption.
Was Ibe kachikwu, Kemi Adeosun and the rest appointed as Minister for corruption.

Oh I forgot you were also part of the train crying that he travels too much. The problem you people have it the same thing with PDP that you support. You fail to realise the extent of damage that has been done to the economy yet you want a miracle worker.

Wike recently praised Amaechi and FG for continuing the Rail project in rivers state is that corruption case.

Learn to have a mind of your own and not follow the band wagon. The present Administration is still following the killer blueprint/budget of the previous administration that had price of crude at $65 even when the price was $45 and still going down. Not until 2016 will they implement their own blueprint/budget Or do you expect them to throw out the previous budget?

When he went to commission the 25billion Agric loan in kebbi state where were you? Oh I forgot you were busy protesting the release of a terrorist.

amunkita03:




You're harsh. Remember that no one has the monopoly of knowledge, I guess he has learnt from ur concise analysis of the situation of things in this country currently esp the fact that the are working on last administration's budget.












I got some important info from u too

onac16:
nice move, but what baffles me is the fact that no APC member have been arrested, invited or visited by EFCC. it's like no matter how corrupt you are if you join APC, old things have passed away and all things have become new. including your loot

advocates:
Bros jomoh, with these punch line of thoughts you reeled out, I have officially decided never to join issues with these agents of darkness anymore.

I mean, what more can be added to your submission. It absolutely captured the entire nemesis brought upon us by the previous govt and rescued mission currently embarked on by the present govt.

Sometimes it pains me that those who made such malicious statements are supposed youths and 'leaders' of tomorrow, but my consolation is that, rational minds like you and many others are at hand to orientate these illiterates short in vision and consumed in ethnicity.

jomoh:


I hardly do except time like this that they get me annoyed with their illogical criticism.


I have a friend whom we went to the same secondary and higher institution together even the same department who also defends the malpractice of the previous administration but I try as much as possible to restrain myself from insulting him.

I just wonder what people like them will teach their kids.

Those people has seriously bastardise/corrupted our common sense except for few of us. Its now on the few of us to enlighten them once in a while.

jomoh:
Very good move. Let's kill corruption totally not a bloody nose again.


But I'm bothered about the safety of Magu and eventually the long term existence and efficiency of the commission. The institute should build a very strict internal system that will expose anyone conniving with corrupt official. Also the should be legislations that will make the commission to be autonomous.
