You are good at making me laugh. Your threads are always opened on emotional tantrums and needs no serious effort to diffuse. I didn't see this earlier as you didn't spell my moniker properly wink

Let me ask you a simple question: Can you mention one possible consequence to a nations's economy the scenario of a central bank so loose that $47m was withdrawn in cash stacked in suitcases in this 21st century of Cashless banking and transaction?

This by no less than the office of the NSA?

Was the money "looted"?

What was the source of the fund?

Were they budgeted security wide votes?

Were the actually given to PDP members? Do you have proofs?

One thing we must understand is that under very serious circumstances, certain actions will be taken. So using cash to buy weapons under difficult circumstances can be excused.

Hehehehe

You lot see women as feeble and emotional even my font type looks emotional, so I'm not surprised that you can't reason beyond that to see that I've asked Valid and Commensensical questions.

As for the scandals rocking certain individuals in our ‎polity, they remain innocent until proven guilty and jailed through a competent court of law.

That said, ‎ I believe that some of these funds you lot term looted weren't looted actually... But due to leadership decisions by Jonathan which maybe buhari in his thoughts thinks inadequate, he will term same fraud...

Leaders make decisions especially when under threat security wise...without waiting for house appropriation...(the clandestine purchase of arms and weaponry come to mind).

So legally Dasuki can pass on...but because Buhari wants him down, so he may find it difficult.

I believe some money was stolen but it is far below the figures they are taunting around


Btw,  why is that stories like this come up whenever there's an economic mess coming up... So APC can use it to shield themselves from blame? And to divert attention‎?

What if the aim of all this is for APC to make PDP look bad?‎
Aren't we all playing into their game if we appear self-defeatist?

That's it exactly!! Make PDP the fall guy...when as a matter of fact, there are worse shameless looters in APC masquerading as Navigators, Ministers and Chieftains.

In governance, decision taking whether right or wrong isn't a crime.‎
Whatever decision taken by Jonathan was for Nigeria interest no matter how flawed it may appear.‎

Not taking decision at all is what is a crime.

That's why Jonathan can not go to jail unless under some unscrupulous script by VERY HIGHLY powerful beings greater than him, including Okonjo Iweala.

That said, I will shave all my eyebrows, go without make up for days, and plait irun kiko on my head AND apologise profusely if Buhari prosecutes the likes of Tinubu, OBJ and Amaechi.‎

The bolded really shows you always tend to see Gej's display of stupidity as naivety, due to your deliberate sentimental attachment to his stupidity. You always bend the facts to appease your ego and solidarity to a thief . Concrete evidence shows that dansuki and his partners in crime lavished billions of naira for their selfish interest, and You are here telling us it was not exactly looting. So what other names can we call it? Stocking? Or piling? You must be confused. If i were you, i would remove my ego and sentiments from the equation and judge this situation dispassionately.

In fact, not only bags and suitcases, they can also use a tanker to carry the money cheesy cheesy

Abeg carry your matter go where folks of your hue congregate. Don't bring me down to your level

For god's sake, Oga cash can be carried around for very legitimate business in any form. Suitcases or tankers.

The most important thing is that it is a legitimate business transaction. Electronic transfers are preferred to check mate illicit flows of cash; after all I could funnel funds through legitmste means for an illegitimate business transaction.

There you go again...what has being female to do with the emotional basis of your thread?? Remember you and i went down this road some few days ago when you opened a similar thread asking for where Buhari kept N334B you believed he skimmed off the N713.7B bailout money?? Of course you and i eventually arrived at the same conclusion: BUHARI DIDN'T STEAL ANYTHING FROM THE BAILOUT MONEY. I advised you then to always exercise patience in situations like this.

During the era of Idi Amin Dada in Uganda, They had an economic crises with inflation at 700%. You know what Idi Amin's order was to the Central bank governor? PRINT MORE CASH!!. And of course printing more cash without the economic fundamentals to back it up leads to gross distortion in the fiscal and monetary environment of a nation.

The problem with the GEJ govt isn't just the looting. They looted under OBJ too. It wasn't improper handling of security votes....every politician does that. the most damaging feature of the GEJ years was the MINDLESSNESS with which they did their looting without regard for it's effect on our monetary policy or fiscal well being. Dasuki woke up one day and requested $47M CASH and Emefiele simply created an expense head for it in CBN and voila....the cash was delivered. How was that sum factored into the cash in circulation at that time? Dasuki came again and said he needed N10B for party faithfuls and Emefiele obliged. What damage do you think that did to whatever monetary policy was in place at that time? All these at a time when GEJ ANNOUNCED THAT HE WAS INSTITUTING TECHNOLOGY THAT WOULD ENSURE THAT THE YAMS ARE SEPARATED FROM THE GOATS!!? I don't know how true, but my former colleague who is now a zonal operations head at one of the banks in abuja said they ran out of dollars some weeks to the elections because of excess mopping up.

The last time we had such was under Abacha with ISMAILA GWARZO, the then NSA but even at that, it wasn't this much and Abacha as wicked as he was ensured only a select few had access to the yams then. GEJ your hero gave every willing goats duplicate keys to the barn so much so that they ran out of names to use that Bafarawa tagged his own ''for spiritual purposes". They didn't even need to come ask him anymore. Just go there and collect your own.

I'm not happy with the current govt. I believe they are slow. I want things to move at a faster pace but it's only someone with his/her head too deep into his/her ass that will expect any miracle with oil, our only source of FX, down to 25% of its value of a year ago. This budget was drawn on the basis of $65/barrel. Can you tell me how much oil is being sold now? Has Buhari drawn up his own budget?

You guys, especially you, have your minds made up and are only too happy to see things go worse. So i'm sure you celebrate when you queue for 5 hours to buy fuel or when you buy it at N150 if you don't like to queue while conveniently forgetting that part of the subsidy paid last week was arrears from August 2014. In as much as i'm not happy with the pace, I'LL FOREVER BE HAPPY AND PROUD THAT I WAS PART OF THOSE WHO HELPED A MAN WHO WAS TOO WEAK AND TOO TIMID TO STOP HIS FRIENDS AND SUBORDINATES FROM MESSING UP HIS GOVT.

It wasn't his fault anyway....Na OBJ Satan go punish for forcing him on the sick Yar'adua.

Because you can't provide the answers you end up tossing around.

Your last paragraph is your imagination. What's the link between funding for electoral campaign and purchase of weapons? Are the weapons going to be used in voting?

Please stop dancing to the music in the market square else you don forget you have a house. If there are evidences that the monies budgeted or approved for purchase of weapons were not used, and there are documents to show that the funds were actually for the weapons, they should charge him and do the needful

Maybe you should take your own advice.

110% Better with Buhari. No matter how it looks now, we are better of having Buhari as the President than Jonathan's administration.

Jonathan's administration would have destroyed this country if he had won. Jonathan's administration was full of fraudulent individuals holding sensitive positions and their interest was for personal reasons= To loot.

I hated the way politics is been played in Nigeria hence I hate APC or PDP. I only love Buhari because of his personal pedigree and incorruptible personality that he is.

Look at what is going on now as the level of corruption leveled against the persons of Dasuki, Dokpesi and their likes. In countries like China or Asian countries, these individuals supposed to be publicly executed if found guilty with the mind-burgling amount of money involved.

The fear of Buhari is the beginning of wisdom.That was why PDP was afraid of having him as the President.

Now that he is there whereby he mate an empty treasury, it will take time to re position this country, I am glad he is doing it and we as Nigerians MUST be ready to scarifies our comfort in order to get things right for the future.

As at May 29th, the GDP growth rate was worse than it is currently, the fuel scarcity was worse than it is currently, the foreign reserve was worse than it is presently, the exchange rate was same as it is currently and all these indices took a nosedive in less than 6 months of the oil price crash under the lootocracy overseen by the hero.

For reasons very personal to me, I decided to stop positive affirmation of any individual in this section. ‎If I have any positive opinion about anyone, I stomach it and pass it away at the loo. But you have earned it, so here goes...

‎Unlike most Buharists I know (except you have an account with which you use to perpetrate evil on here), you seem different. You are not insultive. I wonder why that is though. I guess I'm this surprised because, I'm at a place in my life journey where I've decided to let out negative energies..both those I've held back and those that come in fresh...so sometimes, I deliberately sound provoked/provocative so I can use someone as target practice. You are/were one of them, but you actually got me feeling comfortable arguing with you. It felt like a dream I must wake up from.
I'm almost tempted to request that we become e-friends, but NO tongue..... I will resist the urge.‎ The few Buharist friendships I've forged here haven't panned out so well. Nothing's gon take me down that road again.

I've held this perception for a while now, that MOST Buharists are bilish, vituperative, hateful and hypocritical. Always insultive.
You seem different.
Kudos.

Mister (Since you're not Mr Man and Young Man), if you notice, I did not bother quoting all your GEJ tantrums. This thread is not about GEJ, it is about APC and the way forward. We agree they have a lot on their plate. The former administration didn't quite perform up to expected expectation, that's why change was voted in.

If you follow my comments on here, you'll notice that I admitted that my preference for Jonathan was more personal cum emotional/ideological than informed/logical.
The reason is because, from the get go, I never quite saw Buhari or GEJ as the solution to Nigeria's problems. 
It was during post 2015 elections that I developed this respect and loyalty towards GEJ, mainly due to his utterances which he backed up with action.

On the whole saga/scandal...I have made my position known in another forum where I participate actively too. I refused posting here because of the crass insensitivity and hypocrisy of the Sai Chanters.‎ If you saw it, you'd be shocked and eat this word of yours >>>"You guys, especially you, have your minds made up and are only too happy to see things go worse. "

I kinda feel sad admitting that GEJ was politically weak and non assertive. But it is what it is and we have to move on.

God forbid!
God forbid that I wish this nation ill.
God forbid that I'm happy at the turn of events.
Perchance, is that how you would have felt if GEJ had won? Would you have wished that Nigeria goes up in shambles just to prove that you were right all along for disbelieving in GEJ? ‎

Genlteman, I have been in Nigeria for a while.
The crux here is that, even before elections...things weren't this bad (you and I know)...‎

So what went wrong?
What is APC and Buhari doing?
How are they going about it?
What sectors are being affected?
There's a need to know.‎

Rawani:


I believe we have addressed these issues in the recent past...

The challenges are immense, but you should recognize, appreciate and acknowledge the degree of the rot you handed over as well.

Who failed to solve the electricity problem which we have inherited, and failed to restore the refineries and instead wasted billions of dollars in scam off-shore processing agreements which Diezani and co. used to fleece this country, ultimately causing perennial fuel scarcities all through his tenure? The aftermath is what we live with today.

Who failed to diversify our economy from oil in the time of oil-price boom, and emptied our foreign reserves through a combination of corruption and incapacity to lead which ended in him being tricked by his governors to share the SWF? The DIRECT aftermath of these are the economic troubles we are facing today under low oil prices, and high exchange rates which our efforts to control is resulting in our ejection from bond indexes.

Who supervised the looting and  mismanagement of of the defence budget through his aides (Dasuki n co.) which seriously hampered the fight against BH, and resulted in the loss of thousands of lives? The failure to fight the terrorists with political will and sincerity, resulted in their blossoming and is the reason we are still fighting them today.

You see, while we are not blind to the realities that face us today, its is an insult to conscience, logic and common sense for the same set of people that wanted all of the above and more to continue till 2019, to come and pontificate about good governance while condemning a President that inherited these challenges just seven months ago. 

Put simply, you lack the moral capital to admonish or condemn Buhari or Buharists.


Enjoy your evening  smiley.

 
1. Who handed what over?
What are you saying? Did you see me campaign for Jonathan? Did you see me tell anyone anywhere that he is the solution to Nigeria's problem? 
I knew from the word go that Jona and Buhari were misfits for the job. I only chose a lesser devil.
[kindly refer to a previous post on this thread on what informed the choice I made in Jonathan]. 

Agreed there was rot, sleaze and corruption, as equally obtainable in APC governed states pre and post 2015. What is the way forward?‎

2. ‎He failed to solve electricity problems but did a lot in terms of building energy infrastructure which the current government is consolidating on. Rawani, name one masses-centric Buharistic achievement without GEJ's smile plastered all over it...I'm waiting.

3. Lies! ‎
It was towards the end of GEJ's tenure that I saw fuel scarcity...as in real fuel scarcity. The reason was because‎ the markets created the scarcity because they felt the new government would not pay them what they were owed, so the plan was to recoup all they would have lost. During December last year, was there fuel scarcity? Buhari complained that Nigeirans should not be sleeping in fuel stations, but under his watch, Nigerians not only sleep, they wine and dine in fuel stationsundecided

4. More lies!
For the first time under GEJ, we had automobile companies re-setup shop. We saw our foods cheaper.‎ Railways received life, our airports wore a new look, we had better roads, I could go on and on....yet, even with these, I still feel that Jona didn't perform upto expected expectations.
Pray tell, what has Buhari done, what is he doing?

5. Well, you are right, unfortunately, I am not in that category. I have called out the GEJ led FG for their impunity, I have expressed my disappointment. Buhari has won, 7 months ago. Now, Whether as the proposition or opposition, we all have a herculean task of Nation building before us.

6. I will do same criticism and more as far as Buhari is concerned whenever I think there's a need to.
I am a tax paying bonafide Nigerian, he and all my leaders are accountable‎ to me, whether I voted them or not...capisce?
After all, no one has told me to stop paying taxes because I didn't vote Buhariundecided

Genlteman, I have been in Nigeria for a while.
The crux here is that, even before elections...things weren't this bad (you and I know)...‎

So what went wrong?
What is APC and Buhari doing?
How are they going about it?
What sectors are being affected?
There's a need to know.‎


Yeah let's start a-fighting wink

I stopped participating on here after the elections until very recently because i knew that, still smarting from the pain of losing the elections, most pro GEJ folks will cease every opportunity to vent their frustrations and anger at everything Buhari does or does not do irrespective of the absurdity of it and i believed they were entitled to their dance in the arena. I wasn't going to interfere with their pleasure grin

However, no matter your reservations, you will be lying if you say that this country did not experience a change in at least the first 2 months of this govt. Electricity was better supplied, Petrol not only came back to N87, you became sure of their metering. In fact Bismark Rewane said for the first time, he entered govt agencies to transact business and nobody asked him for bribe. Even a natural buhari critic like Olisa Agbakoba in his interview on Channels about Buhari's 100 days asked the question: What happened? His answer: Nigerians keyed into the body language of their leader. I blame Buhari for allowing the momentum to ebb but it was to be expected that the man was now in as a political leader and politicians will always be politicians hence much time was devoted to playing politics e.g #SARAKIGATE.

Those who are familiar with my posts on NL know what my mantra was "We've been ruled by a devil from an evil coven for 16 yrs, i believe it's time to try out another devil from another coven". I never saw Buhari as a savior neither did i see him as a miracle worker or someone with a great economic prowess. I simply saw a man who was not bogged down by the materialism that rules the life of the average Nigerian and a man 'wicked' enough to not allow his subordinates dip their hands into the till anyhow. That perception hasn't changed

Thank God you're not one of those who prays everyday for Nigeria to fail so they can have an opportunity to tell me that ''I told you so'' but i expect you to admit such folks exists in large numbers among your fellow pro GEJ people. You see them opening threads after threads to celebrate calamities like it adds some naira to their bank balances. I never wished GEJ to fail. Having grown up in the ND and living all my life there, i felt a kindred spirit with GEJ. Me and my colleagues even bragged that finally we have an 'Etibo' wearing occupant of Aso Rock but it was a disaster. I'm sure you watched/read Wole Soyinka's interview on Channels book club last week on this issue? I share his opinion 100%.

Of course some things are worse than they were when Buhari took over but so has the price of oil been and it's meant to account for like 85% of the budget. the 2015 budget was predicated on $65/Barrel and i trust you know how much it is now coupled with the fact that we have numerous unsold cargoes on the sea. Will you ascribe that problem to Buhari's incompetence? contracts of over N2Trillion were awarded by GEJ govt with budget provision of N137B for infrastructure and you expect construction companies not to throw out workers? Dear, the man was fighting against a combination of the devil and the deep blue sea.

Like i told Coli in my response to her, I wish things can go faster. i wish we can have a drastic change but honestly speaking, with the realities of the state the previous govt left us, i would have to be content and wait till Buhari rolls out his own budget and plans next year.

I don't know if i addressed your concerns but i would wish i did.

All this was done without the knowledge of our hero and the most humane politician of our time.

He must have not known
You must pained that despite all this attempt to smear Jonathan's name he's still soaring high in popularity and fame. He's the hero of democracy.
