But honestly, let's be realistic, Nigeria cannot be moved forward if everything about is so corrupt. I used with this tailoring company that sows Army, Navy and NYSC uniforms. They get up to 200m nairas of contract but the sad news is it's 30 percent for the DG, each time they are awarded contracts. They get paid 10 percent upward for the contract and the (company) paid 30 percent in full to the DG before they even commence the contract. Then, it may take the tailoring company two to three years before its finally receive its full money from the government. Sometimes, if one DG has been sacked or redeployed, the company may have to pacified the new DG and it must not less than the 10 percent of the contracted figure, the company wants the contract next time. If you think your company has a long-leg and you can't pay, that means you can't get the contract. Because there are a lot of contractors willing to pay more than 40 percent to the DG. I will advice that we should invoke death penalty just like China on anybody being caught up with mess like this, just to return sanity. 1 Like |

ACM10: Otedola and house of rep members are two sides of the same coin. It's laughable for him to claim that he built his business empire without corruption and government patronage. Behind every great wealth is a crime. The devils' are at eachothers' throat, its a sign of good things to come, so pls let them be. But pls note, not every great wealth has a crime attached to it. Some wealthy people actually toiled in a non-criminal way. |

jerseyboy: Nigerianas Must Join Otedola in this Fight to Clean Out This Assembly of THIEVES. Guy u mean am? Look, don't be sentimental about this, "IT TAKES A THIEF TO CATCH A THIEF". Otedola was the smarter thief in this regard and Far-crook lawan the duller thief. They both are thieves that are killing our country and must be flushed out of our system. |

manny4life: He's a sinking man because one of their own was EXPOSED. I laugh in Swahili, an attempt to sink him WILL EXPOSE everyone of their activities. Reps shouldn't stir anger from other business people informed of their dealings, as they say, someone's got to dance to the music. We know. The houses of pariarment members are nearly all crooks , but we know that the house of reps leadership doesn't always agree with the executive arm of government or the PDP Party views when they are undemocratic. We again know that the excutive arm of government is desperately trying to nullify any opposition to their views frm anywhere but particularly from the lower house. We have to take all these into consideration. We Nigerians. The onlookers as our destiny is being shaped to fit other people's personal plans. |

What an irresponsible and shameless House of Assembly (yes of thieves). This present crop of lawmakers have further reduced in reckoning the profile of all things Nigerian to the outside world. I am surprised they still give press conferences when they ought to be in hiding as a group. But the question is what is the executive and the president as the chief law enforcer of the land doing about this. For how long will he continue to use separation of powers as an alibi for crass ineptitude while authority, decency and statehood continue to slip away. But I digress. The real tragedy is that Nigerian youth of today as exemplified by posters on NL are ignorant of the danger that these lawmakers portend for democracy and the security of this country. The poor quality of today's education appear to have impacted on their ability to reason and make intelligent deduction. It offends every good sense that some pple here will try to excuse patently criminal act by their elected legislators rather than calling them to order. It seriously calls to question, the future of Nigeria. It is time for civil society groups to justify the dollars they collect regularly in the name of democracy to team up with Otedola as interested party in the suit against these criminal elements. Meanwhile ASUU,NLC, TUC and NANS can keep embarrassing themselves by remaining mute. 1 Like |

[quote author=Sky Blue] How do you know Otedola is fighting to "clean" the house? You make his motives sound so altruistic. We need to stop being fools in other people's wars. Be very very careful here and don't be so quick to take sides especially when you don't know what part Otedola plays in the greater scheme of things. This is really very simple, a bribe was apparently recorded, let the courts handle it and the appropriate sentence be metted out. The posturing of Nigerians in this thing is pressuring law enforcement to make sure further corruption does not creep into the enforcement of the law, and asking for a refocus on fuel subsidy report. This latest stance by the leadership of the house reeks of vendetta and there is no need for Nigerians to be caught up in it. Anyone who is not guily of something has nothing to fear so let both sides pick each other apart, it is for our own benefit. As long as that report is revisited and Farouk receives the full weight of the law (and whoever else is found culpable), Period.[/quote I pray for more people wf good reasoning lik you. Sometimes I get annoyed how we allow sentiments to overshadow our reanoning faculties. In as much as I know there are more thiefs than Lawan alone in the house, it doesn't mean they are all thieves. Lawan suspension and removal as committee chairmanship for me is a good step. My only prayer is that thhere is transparency in the entire investigation process. And what is otedola afraid of, that house restored his company on list of those to be investigated iro of forex purchased. Wouldn't the investigation simply tell Nigerians what the forex was used for and prove his(otedola's) innocence (if indeed he is)to all. So where is the witch haunting coming from. I think it unnecessary to take side here |

I am surprised they still give press conferences when they ought to be in hiding as a group. And which executive are you referring to? Hmm I am afraid at the level of ignorance displayed here by some posters. Asking TUC and NLC to lead revolution? Dead dream. Who told u it was for free that NLC and TUC suspended the january strike when the executive imposed higher petrol price. I wish I had a video clipse of Tunde Esele interview on STV, this man could not deny that your "holy" executives bought them over. His response to the allegation of being bought over was that he knew that that was what a typical Nigerian would do if in his position and that was why they were sayin so |

Sky Blue: Hmmmm! Question is, if it was GEJ or a member of his cabinent that is in Lawan's shoes, would you have made this same statement above? Absolutely not and that's the big problem right there. It is yet another evidence that most of you are partisan. You are so quick to come out to accuse and insult GEJ for even wild rumours but when Farouk Lawan is caught pants down and the house decides to go on a vendetta, you suddenly realise it is not your war? Very sad that Nigerians are their own problem. |

Your boss and the DG are robbing the bank while you and your colleagues provide covering fire. If the China treatment should be meted out both your boss and the DG will be hung. For you your best case scenario will be job loss, the worst case is twenty years to life if you are the accountant. We often fool ourselves in Nigeria thinking corruption is a government thing alone. The truth is that fuel importers, IOC's, engineering contractors, audit firms, banks, etc are all private sector. When you begin to hang the very fabric of corporate Nigeria will collapse. I say it again and stand to be corrected. 7 out of every 10 workers in any sector is paid with marked naira or dollar notes. The illegal economy in Nigeria should be approaching 60% of our GDP. We only shout corruption when others are involved. 1 Like |

Questions we should ponder about before making our speculative judgements: Would Farouk Lawan be that 'smartless' to pressurize Otedola into giving bribe if there are no/other incriminating facts against him aside the Forex claims he dangled in front of Otedola Would the HOR have re-listed Otedola's companies for EFCC's investigation if they don't have info they are VERY sure will nail him upon investigation Assuming Otedola was correct in alleging Farouk didn't share the bribe alone, do u think the conspirators won't have other info unknown to Otedola that can nail him incase he goofs Why do you think the HOR was exhuming so much confidence in re-enlisting Otedela's companies in the probe report, referring them to EFCC for further investigation & laughing during the emergency session to debate the bribery allegation Why do you think the Media spokesman of the HOR was so confident in calling Otedola a SINKING man Foruk Lawan has soiled his hands in seeking or collecting the bribe money as alleged by Otedola & the HOR has handed him his punishment pending further indictment after prosecution if any but Otedola may not find events that will subsequently unfold funny at all. The HOR is a den of very smart people & a cult...Just hurt one of their own and you may live to regret it (ask Oteh) My Opinion |
