since the panel has not concluded their report, then why are you in a hurry to justify those that have been alleged to have committed offences against the state, you guys keep shouting propaganda to see if all the truth will come out of the investigations.

You are the one spewing sentiments to justify even those that are already confessing to have collected money that is not theirs in any form and from the way you are talking about the 9.3million dollars seized by SA, its obvious you are just bitter against the person of PMB just because your beloved GEJ was booted out. God will grant us grace to continue to bear and endure all your wailing against the Govt.

You started well in your opening analysis trying to be objective but you gave yourself away when you started bashing PMB and his Govt, if you have condemned some of the actions by dasuki and co, you would have been balanced but your unnecessary bias and support for stealing of Govt funds will make nobody believe your conspiracy theory chikena

Please educate yourself. A man is innocent until proven guilty! Please repeat that 7 times so it sinks into your head. That is one of the tenets of democracy and justice. So I dont need to justify him. He is justified in the eyes of the law until proven guilty. I will bash GMB and his government because they are failing as far as justice is concerned. They are breaking the laws they have sworn to uphold.

This your post is just sentiments. Please argue on facts

You have said nothing new. You just repeated the same stale lines. Dasuki's lawyer has already refuted all the claims from the links you posted as trash. He has said he will tell his story in court. His lawyer said clearly that he didnt mention any names so your link is part of the propaganda I am talking about, you hear?

The so-called names confirmed receipt of money, and you say he didn't mention names? Perhaps it was his ancestors that released those statements.

Metuh did not admit receiving money from arms deal. Metuh said he was giving an assignment. How does that imply he admitted he shared arm deal money of $2.2B? You see how you guys have been spinning your falsehood and propaganda? GEJ has said clearly that there was no $2.2B arms deal signed anywhere. So your propaganda is what it is; propaganda!
Metuh confirmed receiving N400m from ONSA for special assignment, EFCC said the N400m was meant for arms purchase. And you are here arguing bumkum?

Thank You Sir. Please, note that I have earlier advised the OP that we must wait for court processes to run through as I am an addicted 'democrat'. Thanks to the Ex President GEJ, who demonstrated how a democrat should be.

Now, to my question

1. Do we have any evidence to show that Dasuki said anything as you have outlined? Is it possible that his statement to the EFCC is in public domain?

2. If 2.1B USD is actually "missing" or "misapplied" and this amount is totaly for the purchase of arms, how come the EFCC has only brought charges for less than 200M USD?

Thanks

2. Maybe Dasuki is with the rest......... Lol

Op, dasuki has admitted to distributing hundreds of millions of naira to hundreds of people. Some of those people have admitted receiving money from dasuki and have mentioned how much they received. Now op has said that these monies were taken from the security votes and not from any budgetry provison for arms supply! I also submit that it is not a norm to probe security votes. But somehow someway what they did with the security monies has come to light, and this is in the midst of boko haram ravaging the north east and soldiers getting killed and refusing to engage boko haram on account of obsolete weaponry. Op, how do you sleep at night knowing all these facts?

It doesn't matter where the money came from, the fact remains that monies approved for government procurement of military hardware, security and national defence was disbursed for private party (PDP) activity.

The crime still remains, unless it can be proven that the said monies was provided to the ONSA by PDP from it's private purse.

Dasuki broke the law and no matter how the OP tries to dress this pig it would still be a big fat smelly PIG

Come o! To all intents and purposes, Dokpesi is a business man. He rendered services and got paid for them. If u are a professional rendering services do u inquire into the source of ur professional fees? Did Dokpesi directly operate the accounts of the NSA?

Secondly, u keep saying of the total sum of $2.2billion being investigated, Dasuki cannot be charged for all. How so if the accusers are sure of their claims and figures? Dasuki was NSA and is allegedly responsible for the disbursement of this sum. Explain why he will not be charged for all...did d money not pass through him in its entirety for onward disbursement to those mentioned?

I ask now, what will be the charge against others? Receiving money without querying the source? Who does that? If Dasuki is not charged for all before its distribution to other persons then what will be the basis of charging others seeing as they weren't part of the office of the NSA and did not directly handle the money in question?




. . . and Bafarawa is also a businessman that specializes in arranging Islamic clerics to pray for politicians?

Some people can be so funny in defending the indefensible. Let us assume from your write up that the money was meant for security vote, what then is security vote meant for? Is security vote meant for sharing with political allies? When you include security votes in your budget, it implies the money should be use for any uprising including purchase of arms to quell insurgency and not for distribution among PDP.

I will not condemn but rather asked if you or anyone close to you was a victim of the insurgency, will you ever come out with a piece like this? I think we should careful when we try to confuse our personal opinions or experience in discussing very sensitive national matters, GEJ is not that hated as you and your fellow admirers think but the way and and manner you guys confuse very sensitive national matters with how you will feel personally over issues requires some restraint.

You guys have forgotten that it was when PMB set up a panel to probe whether monies budgeted to spent on arms to fight insurgency was used judiciously that all the revelations we have been hearing emerged, we are talking serious matters here and you are trying to be technical by saying that they were security votes, if its security votes, how come falae, dokpesi, obaigbena that are not security contractors benefited from the funds.

Please for once be sympathetic to the plight of the victims of the insurgency and don't let your hatred for PMB and love for GEJ make you a human being without feelings to the down trodden. Thanks and God bless

I will patiently keep educating you lot. The total money mentioned is allocation to his office. He has a right to disburse it. It isnt moey to buy arms as alledged by the EFCC and the media propaganda. So he has not committed any crime yet except it is proven that the items he disbursed them for were illegal. But you can hardly prove that if it comes under the security vote.

See this is a serious issue, trust me Sambo won't have kept mute if indeed the figure was false. For instance, he said he can't be held accountable for what happened in March 2012 since he took over in July 2012(which is legitimate). All these unnecessary and distracting argument of $2.2billion would have made sense IF the people at the center had contested it. If I steal N1 and you say it is N3, I will not hesitate to say it is N1 not N3.

No Sir! The $2.2 billion wasn't for "security vote" as you claim. It was an extra-budgetary amount that the FG set aside for arms purchase. It is different from the $1billion that the FG borrowed in 2014 for same purpose and other budgeted expenses.


The so-called $300million returned Abacha loot forms part of the $2.2 billion extra budgeted for arms purchase. They aren't for "Security vote". Even the authorisation by Jonathan said arms purchase. Sambo Dasuki didn't deny that. In fact, he said that Jonathan approved the $2.2billion for the purpose.


N/B: The arms purchase $2.2billion is different from the appropriated monies by the NASS. Allow the people invoved to defend themselves.

I can never be one of those who are easily fooled by the deceit of this government.

2.1 billion USD was never allocated or approved for arms purchase. This was exactly what GEJ said but some people who don't seem to think or who pretend not to do so for reasons best known to them, are accusing him of lying.

Think about this: Long before the elections, the media was awash with accusations of missing 50 billion/10 billion/20 billion USD first started by the emir. However, almost one year of PMB government, nothing has been said about it. Instead, the noise is about 'security vote' which presidents and governors usually spent according to their discretion.

Finally, let me clarify that I will never support corruption by any means. However, I would like all present and former governors of the AD, ACN, CPC and APC to tell Nigerians how they spent or are spending their monthly 'security votes'

TonyeBarcanista:

Now, the ONSA don't have tender board, this means no valid contract was awarded. For what purpose was Dokpesi paid? Which contract did he win? If Jonathan really gave "verbal" approval, then you can only charge Dasuki for conspiracy and accessory wrt Dokpesi but the person that authorised it and the recipient will be charged for the theft(or the recipient can be charged for money laundary). If Dokpesi claim that he won contract without tender board, it is also a crime because it is against the Public Procurement Act. Meanwhile, we will like to see the contract(if he so claim).

On a more general level, I can refer to Nigerian politicians as crooks because we all know that there is corruption in the system.

Yes no one was caught red-handed but all of them have confessed to collect money and the amount from the ONSA, please what else do you want? A video showing them sneaking to CBN vault stealing money? Financial officers from the ONSA have confirmed going to the CBN to collect huge amount of $$$ on the instruction of the NSA, even documents were presented. A lot of laws were broken, even the money laundering act was broken by withdrawing such a huge amount of cash. This is the reason people keep asking for the CBN governor too to be invited for questioning.

There is no such money for arms deal. It isnt whether the money belongs to government or not. What they did was to calculate all the money that passed through the NSA's office for his tenure and come out to say it is money for arms. It was a well crafted lie (though not so well crafted for those who ask simple questions). The only money that was recommended for arms was the $300 million returned Abacha loot which NOI clearly explained. The rest are just lies and propaganda

What of the $1Bln Approved by the Senate for buying arms? Was that also part of the Security Vote of the NSA?

By the way, when did the NSA become the Head of an Executive arm that the office was now entitled to Security Votes?

You are just trying to be clever by half, nothing more.
