nworanco: So, why did she not say that it was GEJ first, and said it was the Federal Commissioners that backed her? Why did she do it without alerting the National House of Assembly? Remember, she was the Coordinating Minister of the Economy. 3 Likes |

tbaba1234:OBJ had the strength of being a two term president. Also, his political power had been increased by his supposed conquest of the western region. Goodluck on the other hand, was a VP turned President: Read the history of Lyndon.B .Johnson, Gerald Ford and also George Bush.Snr. President Jonathan did not have the political might of OBJ, and also time will tell if GEJ was the smarter one. Machiavelli died in poverty, but the legacy of his ideology is still being studied today, because he had an idea. Goodluck had an idea, and so, posterity will show if he was indeed clueless or not 1 Like 1 Share |

How could we save when GEJ was dashing out yams to all and sundry? Oil bunkering m illitants were being awarded multi billion Naira contracts left and right. Mass looting was going on around him but he chose to defend the actions. A f00l that sees Politicians and political affiliates buying private jets as a sign of a prosperous economy. Do people think PEJ didn't know what she was saying when she said "The money we are sharing will go around" or some daft statement like that. The Governor's saw all that and demanded their share of the loot or else, no one would have the guts to approach GEJ for money the way they did. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

dukie25:When you save, you should save your own money, not the money of your neighbours. But that notwithstanding, 36 governors (not Amaechi/Fashola) demanded for their own share of the savings because GEJ kept on dipping his hands illegally into the collective pot. After all, were there no governors during OBJ's time?... Were there no governors under Yaradua?... in fact it was the same set of governors that served under GEJ and Yaradua. But even with governors pulling out their share, the FG still owned 52% of the funds. So kindly tell us what happened to this 52%? 4 Likes |

When the present government blame the past administration, many here would spew trash. I have said it a thousand times the immediate past government is the worst in the history of this country, even Abacha is a saint where GEJ and his cronies are concerned. I hear some blaming Amaechi and the Governors forum for going to court and asking for the ECA to be shared,please and please GEJ was the President for Christ sake,the buck stops at his table. I lost hope on the man (GEJ) the day he gave his acceptance speech when he was made acting President, the dude was shaking... I mean really shaking oh...ah I told my wife that day that a weakling has been installed as the President. If you would rule this country, you've gotta be strong headed and thick skinned if not the country would rule you as we witnessed during GEJ's tenure. 7 Likes |

Were akpabio, imoke, uduaghan, Dickson, orji such spineless boys that amaechi and fashola were too big for them to handle?

nworanco: Her statement said.. the persons behind these allegations acted as if the constitutionally recognized FAAC This has nothing to do with GEJ. She lied with their name. They replied. The committee, in a statement issued on its behalf by Forum of Finance Commissioners in Abuja, stated that the law setting it up did not give it the power to approve withdrawals from the ECA. So, there was a clear lie and not that GEJ said and Finance Commissioners said. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala broke the trust and the will. 1 Like |
