Who is this?

Something tells me the illiterate operates an alternate.

However, if my suspicion is right, it will interest you to know that no one has the monopoly to the use of foul languages, just that the forum is guided by rules.

Now, comply with the rules and pass ur message accordingly.

I hope you know that this post violates one of the provisions in rule 21.

Have you learnt something?

by the way this isn't an alternative account, am a reader and also a poster on this blog but i really hate it when people think they are perfect, because someone made a simple mistake you termed him as an illiterate, according to my dictionary it said Illiterate is being unable to read and write, which didnt qualify that guy to be an illiterate, so now who is now dump between you and him?

You are here stating law when you've failed to obey law of reasoning arse-holl. angry

They are following Buhari's example.
The old soldier gave N5 million as gift to the judge handling his no certificate case.

It is very difficult to convict a wealthy person in Nigeria, they have the means to circumvent justice... I remember the day Tinubu went to the code of conduct tribunal with 25 SANS... am sure the judge must have been intimidated.. if matters get worse Yakubu would opt for plea bargain... our judicial system is weak..no popular politician or wealthy person has ever gone to jail with the exception of Bode George... This country is jinxed.

Instead of all this useless noise and excitement, we should be asking for his TAX returns and prosecute him for tax evasion, which is more straightforward.

If Buhari can give gift to the Judge handling his case, why won't these ones receive gifts from people.

In a thread about Buhari's lawyer giving 'gift' to a Judge , I mentioned the doctrine of "conflict of interest " and one of the BMCs called me ipod youth. I remember saying that Yakubu should tow the same line since no GIFT is greater than the other.

Well said my dear, only God knows how much Buhari's judge has received as 'gift' and by tomorrow he may come out and say that all the money in his accounts are gifts.
It is not only Buhari and his judge that knows how to give and received gifts.

At least his community people still display class and self worth unlike some people who lack all the preceding.
By now they will be carrying placard and posting comments on social media that their theif should be set free. Is he the only one? Have they caught Mr A and Mrs B?

First, if this is not an alternate handle, which smartness are you talking about?
Go and say that to the marines.

Secondly if this is not an alternate, then, I'm afraid, you are not different from him. In your definition of 'illiteracy', you tried to say it centres around reading & writing. Funny enough, you can't write.

Although I'm not on nl to teach basic English, I think you need assistance.

1. You don't start a sentence with lower case letters.
2. Except if it starts a sentence, you don't use initial upper case letters for a common noun (check your spelling of 'illiterate').
3. Sentences are terminated with full stops (.), not commas (,).
4. The first person singular 'I' is always in the upper case regardless of wherever it appears in a sentence.
5. No good dictionary defines 'illiterate' that way. That definition is suitable for 'illiteracy'. (Parts of Speech).
You need to get a good dictionary.
6. The word 'am' must be preceeded by 'I'.
I will leave it at that.

Meanwhile, with poo like this, who are you to say who is an illiterate and who is not?

Also, you are already violating rules, stop thinking of by-passing censored words because there are rules guiding that as well.

Finally, go through the corrections and get back to me, no charges attached.

Ade Adesomoju, Abuja
A former Group Managing Director of
the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation , Mr. Andrew Yakubu , has
restated his claim that the $ 9 ,772 , 800
and £ 74 , 000 recovered from where he
kept them in a house in Kaduna last
month were gifts he got over a period
of time .
In an affidavit , which he filed before a
Federal High Court in Abuja on
Monday, the ex - NNPC boss however
stated that the sums of money , which
amounted to about N3 bn , were not
gifts he got “ as a public servant or
while he was a public servant ” .
He explained that the funds were gifts
he got through goodwill , which he
enjoyed during various celebrations
and ceremonies he hosted in a period
of five years.
Yakubu , who left office as the NNPC
GMD in August 2014 , did not disclose
the details of the ceremonies in the
affidavit , but insisted that the money
came from well - wishers and friends .
But the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission has maintained
that the money is part of proceeds of
crime , adding that the ex - NNPC GMD
did not declare them as part of his
assets when asked to do so as far back
as 2015 .
A counter - affidavit by the EFCC ,
opposing a fundamental human rights
enforcement suit filed by Yakubu ,
stated, “ That investigation into the
allegations against the applicant
(Yakubu ) is ongoing and the interim
findings reveal that the monies found
in his house are not gifts but are
monies suspected to be proceeds of
crime .
“ That the monies were purportedly
given to him as gifts within 2010 and
2014 during which period he served as
the Group Managing Director of the
Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation .
“ That he was a public servant as of the
time the purported monies were given
to him .
“ That in July 2015 , the applicant
completed an asset declaration form at
the office of the first respondent
(EFCC ).
“ That the money recovered from the
Gubbai safe in the sum of $ 79 ,772 , 800
and another £ 74 ,000 was not declared
in the aforementioned asset
declaration form . ”
On February 13 , upon an ex parte
application by the EFCC , Justice Zainab
Abubakar of the Federal High Court in
Kano granted an order of interim
forfeiture of the money .
Following the recovery of the money
from his house on February 3 , Yakubu
has since February 8 , been on remand
in the custody of the EFCC in Kano .
On February 20 , the ex - NNPC GMD
filed a N1 bn fundamental human
rights enforcement suit before the
Federal High Court in Abuja against
the EFCC and the Attorney General of
the Federation (first and second
respondents) for allegedly detaining
him unlawfully .
Justice Ahmed Mohammed had on
Thursday fixed Thursday for the
hearing of the suit.
Through his lead counsel , Mr. Ahmed
Raji (SAN ), Yakubu , on March 6 , 2017
(Monday), filed “ a further and better
affidavit ” in reply to the EFCC ’s
response to the suit.
In the said affidavit , the applicant
denied the EFCC ’ s allegations , insisting
that the money seized from him was
not part of proceeds of crime but
received as gifts during celebrations.
A lawyer in Raji ’s law firm , Dolapo
Kehinde, who deposed to the affidavit
on Yakubu ’s behalf , stated, “ In specific
reply thereto, the applicant (Yakubu )
states that the monies in respect of
which the applicant is being held by
the respondents are ‘ gifts and goodwill
by well - wishers and friends ’ given to
him ‘during celebrations and
ceremonies ’ and not proceeds of
crime ’ as alleged ’ .
“ Furthermore , I know that there is no
investigation or ‘ finding’ whatsoever
by the first respondent that has proved
contrary . ”
The affidavit also stated that the
applicant did not receive the money as
a public officer or while serving as a
public officer , but saved over a period
of five years.
“ In reply thereto , the applicant states
that the monies concerned were not
given to him as a public servant or
while he was a public servant .
“ The applicant humbly relies on
Exhibit B hereof , where he is quoted
as saying : ‘This was periodic savings
for over five years’ . ”
It added that the EFCC , through its
counter- affidavit , failed to justify “ the
unlawful detention of the applicant ” .
In response to Yakubu ’ s fundamental
human rights enforcement suit, the
EFCC had filed a counter - affidavit , in
which it stated that the ex- NNPC GMD
was not only being investigated for the
money recovered from him but for
other offences such as money
laundering.
The counter - affidavit , deposed to by
one of its investigating officers, Mr.
Waziri Nitte , stated that with Yakubu ’
description of the money recovered
from him as gifts , he had violated
other laws .
“ The provision of Section 12 of the
Independent Corrupt Practices and
other related offences Act prohibits
public officer from receiving gifts by
virtue of his being a public officer ,”
the counter - affidavit stated .
The EFCC urged the court to dismiss
the suit as “ the applicant is using this
application as a disguised attempt to
frustrate investigation into this case. ”
In an affidavit accompanying the
main suit (the originating summons),
Yakubu ’s wife, Mrs . Sarah Yakubu ,
stated that her husband was
undergoing medical treatment in the
United Kingdom when the money was
recovered .
She stated that her husband , whom she
said was diagnosed of “ a prostrate
condition which may be terminal if
not properly managed ” , had to
suspend his “ medical procedure” in
the UK in order to honour the EFCC ’s
invitation .
Sarah , who described Yakubu as the
breadwinner of his family with many
dependants , “ has not been able to
provide for his family , neither has he
received any medical treatment with
respect to the ailment he is suffering
from” .
Mrs . Yakubu said her husband might
die if not released from custody to
enable him to attend to his health .
“ I have consistently appealed to men
and officers of the first respondent
(EFCC ) for the release of my husband
because he is in excruciating pains
and stands the risk of losing his life ,”
she stated.
She also accused the EFCC of
instigating negative publicity against
his husband on the Internet and
through various media outfits .
She stated , “ Notwithstanding the act
that the respondents have not filed
any charge against the applicant , they
have continued to instigate wide
publicity of the matters leading up to
his arrest and detention.
“ I also know that this negative
publicity instigated by the respondents
has adjudged the applicant guilty in
the eye of the public without an
opportunity of a fair hearing and in
disrespect of the dignity of his
person. ”
However , the ex - NNPC boss had sought
among other prayers a declaration
that his continued detention,
preventing him from travelling to the
UK for the completion of his “ medical
procedure” was a violation or his
rights to “ dignity of his person,
personal liberty , freedom of
movement, private and family life as
enshrined under sections 34 (1 ), 35 (1 ),
(4 ) and (5 ); 37 and 41 of the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
He urged the court to direct his release
from the custody of the EFCC or grant
him bail “ on liberal terms and allow
him to proceed to the United Kingdom
for completion of the medial
procedure which he was undergoing
there” .
He also sought an order of perpetual
injunction , restraining the
respondents from further detaining
him unlawfully “ whether on reasons of
suspicion or on on account of any
purported investigation with respect to
the allegations” for which he was
being detained in breach of his rights .
He sought an order compelling the
respondents to “ tender public apology ”
to him in “ two widely published
national daily newspapers ” and to pay
to him N1 bn as general damages for
the violation of his rights as enshrined
in the constitution

20 years ago, how many Nigerians were using mobile phones like in Uncle Sam's country?
Today, how many Nigerians are using smart phones and mobile phones even MORE than people in Uncle Sam's country?
If we played catch up quickly in that area, why not in the area of TAXES?
If we don't tighten our tax laws and implementation with stringent penalties, how will we get the basic amenities that we complain about?
What is WRONG with us?
What is wrong with our BRAINS?
