“Sovereign Confab’ll throw Nigeria into anarchy – Ekweremadu.” (Vanguard Newspaper, 10/22/13)
Mr. Ekwerenmuo, what we have now is worse than anarchy after all anarchy is definable and comprehendible but what we have in Nigeria today is neither definable nor understandable. If your greed, ego and foolishness would allow you, you can agree with me that once a problem is defined and known such problem is more than halfway solved. If the National conference would lead to anarchy that would be a welcome and cherished development because Nigerians would then know and have a hand over what the nation is sick of. And I ask you Mr. Shitnator, what form of anarchy is worse than the tribulation, deprivation, and marginalization Igbos and 80% of Nigerians suffer in this country run by insensitive Neanderthals like you and your colleagues? I think and most Nigerians think that your loot which you and your cabal colleagues call salary; the national assembly’s insensitivity to the plight of over 80% of Nigerians is worse than anarchism and worse than Asinine Okorocha
For example, have you ask your boss Mark about his Mark Bloody University. Ask Mr. Mack if the villagers asking for compensations for the usurpation of their land for his ego driven University have been compensated. Mark’s henchmen suppressed and killed some of these villagers and forcefully took their little pieces of land from which they sustain their mere existence. Ask Mr. Mark how and where he got money for a 4sq mile university campus, the Mark Bloody University?
Folk and Igbos in particular, remember Noike Ikweremadu and of course, the unworthy legislator. Visit Ike Ikweremadu’s website you will know his character, the stuff his is made of, his priorities, his ego, and self loving persona. His website is full of fotoups and events that are only self serving and self eulogizing. It was impossible to even email him with constituent and or Igbo issues. This man is either full of himself. Or his is that poor man that saw self miraculously owning a very big tall mansion; believing that he too owns even the gravity around his tall mansion he then jumped and hit the ground and become one spirit with the mansion. Ikweremadu is a disappointment to his constituency, state, to Igbo people, to Nigerians and to humanity. He, like his colleague are an unworthy legislators.
Remember he said excitedly that there is no way for state creation, not even for South East that is unjustly cheated in the state creation. He said state creation is mission impossible. He said he knows no how for state creation. He said it is too cumbersome. But my impression has been that legislators are elected to find way, solutions where there seemed to be none. It looks like Mr. Noike wants to legislate on the already legislated; on the easy things. He wants easy job. He wants to sleep and do actually sleep and get paid $1.4M. Mr. Noike, in case you do not know, akara market person can do it, better and cheaper.
I understands; how could people like Ekweremadu, and this current breed of legislators know that, what is obtainable in Nigeria today is worse than anarchy when he and his heartless Neanderthals colleagues take home as salary every year over one million four hundred thousand dollars ($1,400,000) of public money in a country where more 70% of the populace lives under $3 a day? Yes, these vultures are blinded by their loot, greed, ego, lack-of Knowledge and insensitiveness. These vultures know not the plight of over 80% of Nigerians, that are undignified, diseased, poorly or purely uneducated, hungry and malnourished, unemployed, unsheltered, un-medicated as a result their actions, policies and or lack thereof.
Mr. Ekwerenmuo, your education especially in the U. S is a disgrace to United States of American and to Humanity. Surely, you and all of you will give account of your stewardship of this country here and beyond.

Governor Rochas and Red-herring 2
This is it
Folk here is a very prophetic op-ed I made in 2011, about 6 months into Rochas governorship, one of my many 2011 op-ed on Rochas; Sun Newspaper can confirm. In fact this op-ed is in part responsible for Okorocha’s current battle with PDP. In the op-ed I ambushed Rochas dumping of APGA. I predicted that he will dump APGA for PDP but to prove me wrong he dumped APGA for APC instead. Well, in 2011 there was no APC hence I could not have seen him joining APC. My prediction was based on the very fact that there was an understanding between him and some Leaders in PDP that he will rejoin PDP if he wins the Governorship. Rochas won but bungled the agreement because his figured out that his 2015 presidential ambition under Jonathan’s possible 2nd term ambition will be dead on arrival.
Folk read below the 2011 prophetic op-ed on Rochas dumping APGA for another party.
Governor Rochas and Red-herring
Mr. Governor, behold governance, if governance was good intensions then you are the best governor Nigeria ever had. But governance isn’t just good intensions alone. Because good intension is a very subjective supposition almost all persons have it. Abacha, IBB, Ohakim and Orji Uzo Kalu them have good intensions.
The Governor should leave the traditional rulers alone. Like any other institution governmental and non governmental in Imo and in Nigeria this Eze-ship or institution of traditional ruler-ship is highly politicized and grossly corrupted but the traditional institution is not an agency or branch of the Imo state Government. Disgraceful yes, but the Eze institution is not responsible for the poor leadership, corruption, insecurity and general abjectness in the state. In fact Governments just like what Governor Rochas is doing today are responsible for the politicization and degrading of Eze-ship in Igbo land and institution of traditional ruler- ship in Nigeria in general.
Mr. Rochas can not solve Imo problem by dissolving the exiting Eze-ships, local government councils and chairmanships and replacing the same with his political stooges. This is cronyism the same menace the Governor proclaims to fight. If the governor is true to his fight against corruption why has he not set up panel to probe his predecessors? The Governors before Mr. Rochas are responsible for more than ninety percent of corruption, general abjectness and socio-moral decadence in the state. The governor has publicly but cowardly declared that his administration will not probe Mr. Ohakim when it is crystal clear that Mr. Ohakim embezzled, mismanaged public fund and betrayed public trust. By declaring not to probe Ohakim Mr. Rochas is preparing for his own probe free exit four or eight years from now when he leaves the Governor’s house for a presidential bid. In my opinion, Governor Rochas is neither the messiah he make himself to be nor the one to save Imo people.
Here are my predictions and I pray that I am wrong. Governor Rochas between third and eighth year of his governorship will declare for the national ruling party in preparation for a presidential bid. Eighty percent of the fund the governor will use for his presidential bid will be Imo state wealth he will not account for. The Governor had ambition but this is not primarily to be Imo State governor. Imo State administration will serve as a resume and revenue source for Mr. Rochas’ presidential ambition. If Rochas succeeds in his presidential ambition then Imo People has something to be happy for but if the Governor’s presidential ambition fails Imo State will be gloomier because then ex-Governor has no way to return to Imo People their wealth he deceitfully invested in his presidential run.
Mr. Governor, prove me wrong by declaring your verifiable personal wealth now. Mr. Governor, please stop this red-herring and war on the pacifist eze-ships and tell Imo People how you plan to fight insecurity, poverty, joblessness and general abjectness in the state. If the Governor succeeds in these four then history will be kind to him otherwise the Governor will be another number like his predecessors

So little idea in so much time.
So little idea in so much time.
Jonathan blundered by conceding to Legislature the outcome of the yet-to-be national conference. It seems this president has exhausted his little idea on how to move Nigeria forward. If the outcome of the national conference requires the approval of the national assemble why waste money and time for national conference since the National assembles by themselves are national conference. Some of the problem with Nigeria can be found in the National assemble itself. Among these are the expensive bicameral legislature Nigeria is operating; the ridiculous but outlandish jumbo pay members of these bodies arrogate to themselves; the Hausa/Fulani overwhelming dominance in the National assemble orchestrated by Hausa/ Fulani military lead juntas, etc.
How could the National Assemble implement the recommendations of the National conference if the conference recommends, unicameral legislature, cut on national assemble pays? How could national assemble with overwhelming Hausa/Fulani dominance accept a pure secular state devoid of sharia, , rotational presidency, fiscal federalism, and regionalism and parliamentary systems if the conference recommends them.
I kind have supported Jonathan's Presidency because I had and still want to accord him benefit of doubt. If Jonathan truly believes that the recommendation of the conference will be subject to yeah and nay of the national assemble I suggest he call off the conference because the exercise will be act in futility.
I tend not to agree with Tinubu but it seems he was absolutely correct when described the President’s conference as a Greek Gift, a Trojan horse from the president to Nigerians.
Mr. President quit pontificating on sovereign conference, and take back your Trojan horse and shove it.

People and sovereignty 1: Educating Noon on People's sovereign on sun forum 2
Folk sovereignty never leaves the people; it is ever resident with the people. Sovereignty comes with tremendous authority but it is not the same thing as authority. Authority is an aspect of the manifestation of sovereignty, the superior overlord. Sovereignty is never delegated. In fact in a republic, the primary difference between sovereignty and authority is that one can be delegated while the other is absolute.
I make this distinction because incompetent Shitnator Abiriba claims that people delegated sovereignty to the Legislature. Abriba either do not understand sovereignty or he is a dictator. How could people part with the sovereignty if they still have the power to sack any government any time any day. Sovereignty is like a crown, kings do not give up their crowns to their proxies, rather they impact them with authority. It is common sense, if the King gives his crown to one proxy how could he delegate the next proxy? As you know, the King can delegate and impact authority to as much proxies as he needs. The King is able to delegate and impact authorities to many of his subject because the crown is still with him. Once the crown leaves him the power to delegate or impact authority would be lost. Likewise sovereignty never leaves the people. Mr Abiriba do your home work or take your incompetence and go back to your village.
Noon, below are excerpts, nonetheless your complete post dissected into the questions you posed and remarks you made. Where your questions and remarks made sense I did my best to respond.
q;“So how can a teenager below the age of 18yrs exercise His or Her soveriegnty in this case as you said a citizen can not loose its soveriegnty?”
a;Sovereignty is not an individual thing. It is the collective supremacy of the people over the government. Your questions suggest that you neither understand sovereignty nor know your citizenship rights.
q;“Teacher, How can a citizen exersice His or Her democratic soveriegnty?”
a;What do you mean by ‘citizen exercise democratic sovereignty??’ not sure I understand your question. However, democracy; government of the people by the people: Sovereignty is not something that a citizen exercises but rather it is the intrinsically supremacy of the citizenry over the government. The people with their sovereign power decide what form of government they want; may decide to terminate one form of government for another. I am not your teacher; remember you were the first to criticize my post. All I did was to respond to your criticism that made little to no sense. You’re so obstinate and perhaps ignorant that you want to know by pretending like you know.
q;“Can a citizen abused soveriegnty?”
a;Again, this question not only suggests that you know not sovereignty but that you also do not even know how to ask an intelligent question. But, if I may try, citizenry could not abuse sovereignty because it is citizenry’s absolute power over the government. It is citizenry’s power to dissolve, sack the government, (the legislature, Judiciary, the executive) any time any day with or without reason.
q;“Or is your acclaimed soveriegnty of people prevailed over rules of law or it is unlimited power that is not questionable?”
a;Yes, the rule of law is nothing to supremacy of the people in a republic. The citizenry decides how, where, when the rule of law applies because remember the people have the power to abolish the government, the law and set up new ones whenever they so chooses. Sovereignty is absolute.
q;“Teacher, this controvercial issue of SOVERIEGNTY confirmed that upon our so called education we are not civilised, every National issue resulted to controversy clearly this type of kindergaten controversy was not a characteristic of a civilised society and above all we are not learning from other country to be able to correct ourselves.”
a;You did not make sense here and you seem to pull things from all over, incoherent and completely out of point. I have suggestion, if you do not know how to be bold and humbly enough to ask, then remember pride comes before fall. Do not engage in topics you do not know because it only lowers your personality and character. Do not think because you’re hiding behind the computer screen that the public do not know and see you. No, we know and see you through the things you post here. Yes, because a person is about 98% of what he thinks and says. I do not need to know your name to know you. You can know person without knowing his or her name. So I know you and you need knowledge and humility.
q;“Americans demonstrated their democratic soveriegnty by using their vote wisely in home and diaspora as practical way of exercise democratic soveriegnty while here in Nigeria political noise-making, controversy and promoting talkactive society is where soveriegnty lies even if Nigerians in diaspora could not able to exercise their democratic soveriegnty by vote.”
a;Rambling and out of point.

Et tu, Brute Knowledge! U be the Judge Congressional Humongous Pay
Et tu, Brute Knowledge!
Folk it is no longer secret how much members of the House receive as salary under the Tambuwal’s speakership; N9M or $57,000 per month, or $684000 per year ; Under Bankole speakership, the 6th congress, they received N15M or $97,000 per month or $1164000 per year. Immediately below is what Nigeria Congressman receives as salary in a year. And following it is what a U S Congressman makes per year.
“The anti-Tambuwal lawmakers in the House are reported to have asked Tambuwal to allow for an independent auditing of the amount of money so far released to him since he took over as Speaker in 2011. The pro-Jonathan group also asked Tambuwal to steer clear of the Rivers State House of Assembly crisis and allow the police to re-open the state legislature for business. The group also demanded that Tambuwal should explain why members of the 7th Assembly were being paid a paltry N27 million per quarter as against the N45 million that their 6th Assembly counterparts were getting under the Dimeji Bankole leadership. They argued that they have been cheated by the leadership which reduced their pay when the Federal Government had not reduced the statutory N150 billion being paid to the National Assembly yearly.” (vanguard Newspaper 10/21/13)
“As of 2010, the annual salary for representatives, [US Congressman] is $174,000 per year regardless of the size of the state from which the representative is elected.
In 2010, President Obama froze the salaries at $174,000, making it the third year the representatives did not receive the annual raise.” (Source; ehow.com)
Folk, six hundred eighty four thousand dollars ($684,000) annual salary under Tambuwal and one million one hundred and sixty four thousand dollars ($1,164,000) annual salary under Bankole are the salaries of a Nigerian Congressman in 6th and 7th congress. And a Nigerian Senator takes home about one million four hundred thousand dollar ($1,400,000) in annual salary while And $174,000 is the annual salary of U S Congressman? You be the judge.
True, the U.S congressman may have staff paid by the U S treasury while Nigeria Congressman pays his or her staff from the $684,000 or $1,164, 000 annual salary. But folk here is why this congressional salary is sinful, fraudulent, criminal, immoral and callous to those Nigerian Children who have no roof over their heads; walk street on barefoot and on rags; can’t afford three meals a day, forced out of the school into child labor just for survival. Here is why this congressional salary is sinful, fraudulent, criminal, immoral and callous to the so many Nigerian graduates, mothers, fathers, young and old roaming the street searching for means of survival in the moment of time. Here is why this congressional salary is sinful, fraudulent, criminal, immoral and callous to the spirits of the still born and to the spirits of the maternally dead because of the absence and or inadequate medical facilities and services.

Here is why this congressional salary is sinful, fraudulent, immoral and callous to the Nigeria Police Force and to the National Security agencies’ personnel who are poorly trained, poorly equipped and poorly paid who put their lives on the line for the congress that can never justify the evilly humongous pay in a country where more that 70% of the citizenry live on average of $2 a day and unemployed. Would any sane person say that the Nigeria congress is more resourceful and more productive than the Police and Military departments? The list of the sinfulness, fraudulent, immorality and callousness of the over a million dollars per annual pay to Nigeria congressman can go on endlessly.
I agree, there must be accountability and financial oversight in all agencies and departments of the government. And I agree Ms. Oduah should be investigated and prosecuted if found wanting in this financial sacrilege. Ms Odua should have known better. She should have known that safety in a society does not come by self isolation; neither inside bullet proof vehicle, nor inside double 20 feet walled house. Ms Oduah should have known that safety is only assured in a society, where economic, social, political justice and equity, equal treatment of all citizens under the law are the rules. She should have known that security and safety is neither an exclusive reserve for the privileged minority nor a reserve for the rich, nor privilege for the well connected, nor an exclusive right for the ministers and elected officials. However we must not allow Oduah's unconscionable spending indiscretion distract us from the abominable congressional pay.
Yes, the U S Congressman takes $174, 000 annually for his or her service to the country and has trillions of dollars in returns to the country to show for it. He returns, the best infrastructure, the best medical facilities and services, the best police and military departments, the best security; returns superpower and superior military power the world has ever known, returns the best and safest air transport system, the lowest maternal and infant mortality rate, the best education, the best and largest employment opportunities for its citizens and the world citizens at large; the US Congressman returns the most satisfied citizenry. The list goes on for what the U S congressman returns to the country for his or her meager salary compared to Nigerian Congressman who returns nothing for one million one hundred sixty four thousand dollars in annual pay.
The difference between what Nigerian Congressman received in salary $1,164,000 per year under Bankole and what the U S congressman receives in salary $174,000 per year is $990, 000; almost a million dollars in difference for the Nigeria Legislator. That is, if Nigeria decides today to pays it Congressional-Neanderthals $174,000 per year, the same $174,000 per year U S congressman receives, Nigeria will save nine hundred and ninety thousand dollars ($990,000) which is the excess money it pays its congress-caveman relative to U S Congressman. Agreed, the U S congressman has staff, office space and official travels which the U S treasury pays for; but the question is, do the Nigeria Congressman have paid-staff, travel and office space expenses for which he or she pays and spends the close to a million dollars in excess salary he or she receives compare to the U S counterpart? The answer is no and this is why Nigeria have plentiful of unemployed youth and graduates.
The excess money ($1M, per Congressman times 360 members =$360M=N5.74B just for the house only) in congressional pay can employ many unemployed Nigerians. If you factor in Senate's excess pay you did be looking at close to $500M or N7.9B in congressional excess pay per annual. While the Nigerian Congressman still takes home $174,000 per years; same salary the U S congressman takes home in a year. But why should a Nigerian Congressman even receives $174,000 per years salary in a country where 70% of the populace live below $2 a day; a country among the 50 worst countries in the world in all development index? When a U. S congressman receives $174,000 salary per year in a country that is the best country in the world in all development index. If U S congressman receives $174,000 per year in salary shouldn’t its Nigerian congressional Neanderthal counterpart be paid only, ten pound meat of goat intestine, 5 haystack of grass, 5 tubers of cocoyam and yams, one palm and one banana trees, one bow and five arrows and one stone spear? In all seriousness annual congressional pay in Nigeria should never be more than N1.8M or $12000 if 70% of the citizenry lives under $2 pay. Why should congressional positions be source of riches, wealth in Nigeria? The national conference should never quibble with unicameral legislature.
Folk is unquestionable that politic of bitterness, of hate and anger, of do or die, of assassination, would be elimination if elected politicians are paid minimum wage. Is unquestionable that if the elected public officials are paid minimum wage, every one of them would truly serve and not savagery the country; Is unquestionable that if elected public officials are paid minimum wage, there will be opportunity, space for all Nigerians, every citizen who wants to serve to serve because the elective office would have been made financially unattractive.
With this excess $1m per Congressman per year or $500M per congressional per year, Nigeria Government can employ congressional paid-staffs and pay the travel cost of the Congress thereby creating jobs for the unemployed. It is no secret that these Nigerian Neanderthals called Congressmen employs few or no staff and when they employ, they employ family members, relatives, sex and bedmates, concubines and do not spend a million dollars on staff, travels and accommodation. The only travel these heartless men-like creatures make is vacationing to the already made countries with their $1m dollars in excess pay. Nigeria government should provide basic office spaces for these Congressional Neanderthals who actually suppose to live in caves, and revoke their $1M in excess pay. Over a long run the government would save money since successive congressional members would use the same office spaces. If reason is the guide of politicians in African and in Nigeria in particular no public official should receive more than 4 fold the national minimum wage in the country. But Reason whence have you gone, why have thee forsaken our people? And Et tu Brute, Knowledge.
Folk it is no longer secret how much members of the House receive as salary under the Tambuwal’s speakership; N9M or $57,000 per month, or $684000 per year ; Under Bankole speakership, the 6th congress, they received N15M or $97,000 per month or $1164000 per year. Immediately below is what Nigeria Congressman receives as salary in a year. And following it is what a U S Congressman makes per year.
“The anti-Tambuwal lawmakers in the House are reported to have asked Tambuwal to allow for an independent auditing of the amount of money so far released to him since he took over as Speaker in 2011. The pro-Jonathan group also asked Tambuwal to steer clear of the Rivers State House of Assembly crisis and allow the police to re-open the state legislature for business. The group also demanded that Tambuwal should explain why members of the 7th Assembly were being paid a paltry N27 million per quarter as against the N45 million that their 6th Assembly counterparts were getting under the Dimeji Bankole leadership. They argued that they have been cheated by the leadership which reduced their pay when the Federal Government had not reduced the statutory N150 billion being paid to the National Assembly yearly.” (vanguard Newspaper 10/21/13)
“As of 2010, the annual salary for representatives, [US Congressman] is $174,000 per year regardless of the size of the state from which the representative is elected.
In 2010, President Obama froze the salaries at $174,000, making it the third year the representatives did not receive the annual raise.” (Source; ehow.com)
Folk, six hundred eighty four thousand dollars ($684,000) annual salary under Tambuwal and one million one hundred and sixty four thousand dollars ($1,164,000) annual salary under Bankole are the salaries of a Nigerian Congressman in 6th and 7th congress. And a Nigerian Senator takes home about one million four hundred thousand dollar ($1,400,000) in annual salary while And $174,000 is the annual salary of U S Congressman? You be the judge.
True, the U.S congressman may have staff paid by the U S treasury while Nigeria Congressman pays his or her staff from the $684,000 or $1,164, 000 annual salary. But folk here is why this congressional salary is sinful, fraudulent, criminal, immoral and callous to those Nigerian Children who have no roof over their heads; walk street on barefoot and on rags; can’t afford three meals a day, forced out of the school into child labor just for survival. Here is why this congressional salary is sinful, fraudulent, criminal, immoral and callous to the so many Nigerian graduates, mothers, fathers, young and old roaming the street searching for means of survival in the moment of time. Here is why this congressional salary is sinful, fraudulent, criminal, immoral and callous to the spirits of the still born and to the spirits of the maternally dead because of the absence and or inadequate medical facilities and services.

More Quotes | Submit Quote'In what could be described as another high profile shame on Nigeria after the Mutallab’s saga, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar was again presented to the United State’s Senate on Wednesday over illegal transfer of $40Million. Huhuonline.com gathered that the US Senate report which showed how funds were transferred on behalf of the former number two citizen showed that: ‘From 2000 to 2008, Jennifer Douglas, a U.S. citizen and the fourth wife of Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President and former candidate for President of Nigeria, helped her husband bring over $40 million in suspect funds into the United States, through wire transfers sent by offshore corporations to U.S. bank accounts.’The report said: ‘In a 2008 civil complaint, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleged that Ms. Douglas received over $2 million in bribe payments in 2001 and 2002, from Siemens AG, a major German corporation.‘While Ms. Douglas denies wrongdoing, Siemens has already pleaded guilty to U.S. criminal charges and settled civil charges related to bribery and told the Subcommittee that it sent the payments to one of her U.S. accounts.In 2007, Atiku Abubakar was the subject of corruption allegations in Nigeria related to the Petroleum Technology Development Fund.‘Of the $40 million in suspect funds, $25 million was wire transferred by offshore corporations into more than 30 U.S. bank accounts opened by Ms. Douglas, primarily by Guernsey Trust Company Nigeria Ltd., LetsGo Ltd. Inc., and Sima Holding Ltd.‘The U.S. banks maintaining those accounts were, at times, unaware of her PEP status, and they allowed multiple, large offshore wire transfers into her accounts. As each bank began to question the offshore wire transfers, Ms. Douglas indicated that all of the funds came from her husband and professed little familiarity with the offshore corporations actually sending her money. When one bank closed her account due to the offshore wire transfers, her lawyer helped convince other banks to provide a new account.‘In addition, two of the offshore corporations wire transferred about $14 million over five years to American University in Washington, D.C., to pay for consulting services related to the development of a Nigerian university founded by Abubakar.’American University accepted the wire transfers without asking about the identity of the offshore corporations or the source of their funds, because under current law, the University had no legal obligation to inquire.’It would be recalled that Former congressman William Jefferson has been sentenced to 13 years in jail for corruption that involved US companies and Nigerian officials. The ruling in 2009, by Federal Judge TS Ellis III of the US District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, followed Jefferson’s conviction for collecting bribes on behalf of Nigerian officials, specifically, former Vice President, Abubakar Atiku. However, the FBI found $90,000 cash, which Jefferson said was meant for Atiku, hidden in a freezer. But Atiku and his wife, Jennifer Douglas, did not accept summons and subpoenas to appear before the US court. Instead, they moved their family out to Dubai, and put their Potomac mansion up for sale.US Justice Department officials however revealed that arrest warrants have been issued against Atiku and his runaway wife, Jamila Jennifer Douglas-Atiku and that the duo would be promptly arrested if they step on US soil. Sources also said Atiku and his business partner in crime, Otunba Fasawe, did not return the sum of $21 million taken from the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) to the Nigerian coffers.EFCC’s 21-paragraph counter-affidavit filed before the Federal High Court, Abuja on PTDF ScamThat the plaintiff diverted funds meant for PTDF operations to finance NDTV.That even though the projects for which funds were required in the PTDF were not approved until 2006, the plaintiff had ordered that the money be withdrawn from treasury since 2003.That on 18/10/03, the plaintiff directed the Accountant-General of the Federation to release USD$20 million to PTDF without the approval of the Executive Council to enable the PTDF carry out some projects but the money was placed on term deposit in TIB.That the placement of the money in TIB was done to promote the business of NDTV, the plaintiff’s other interests and that of some of his friends and associates.That as soon as the placement was made, NDTV was granted a loan of N400 million on 20/10/03 and N420 million on 22/10/03 by T.I.B.That Otunba Fasawe remitted the sum of N400 million to the plaintiff’s Personal Assistant, Alhaji Umaru Pariya, on 4/10/2003 which sum Otunba Fasawe recovered through a loan of N420 million received from TIB on 22/10/03 after the PTDF’s funds placement.That the plaintiff paid from his Marine Float Account in Bank PHB the sum of N30 million for the purchase of the property at No. 555 Ademola Adetokunbo Street, Wuse II.That the plaintiff’s property at No. 555, Ademola Adetokunbo Street, Wuse II, is used as the headquarters of NDTV.That the balance of the purchase money for the property referred to above was paid after the plaintiff ordered a placement of USD$10 million in TIB and a loan of N400 million was granted by TIB to NDTV.That several other people were paid various sums of money deposited in TIB pursuant to directive by the plaintiff. Evidence of the beneficiaries and the amount will be given at the trial.That from a total sum of $30 million placed by PTDF in TIB, only the sum of $6.25 million has been repaid, leaving an outstanding balance of $23.75 million to date.That the plaintiff also ordered placement of $50 million in ETB.That the plaintiff further directed that the sum of $52.9 million and $62.1 million be placed in ETB from the account of PTDF.That the plaintiff stood as surety for Otunba Fasawe when NTDV applied for Value Added Network Service from Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC).That all these facts stated in paragraph 13 supra were never disclosed by the plaintiff in his response.That the plaintiff attached Exhibits 5A and 5B to give the impression that the money invested was with the consent of the President (See Paragraph (XV) of the affidavit in support of originating Summons.That however, the President never approved the release of the funds for the purpose of placing it in any bank.That on the contrary, the money was approved for the purpose of implementing projects relating to the programme of PTDF.That Exhibit 5A attached to plaintiff’s affidavit shows that on 29th April 2003, the plaintiff approved the placement of a total sum of $125 million in two banks (ETB and TIB).That on 14th October, 2003, the plaintiff directed the release of an additional sum of $20 million from the treasury.That Exhibits 5B mentioned that the $20 million was to be used to carry out some projects according to the letter seeking approval by the PTDF.That, however, rather than use the $20 million to carry out any project, the funds were placed with TIB and used for NDTV where the plaintiff had substantial interest.That contrary to paragraphs 18(xii) and (xiii) of the affidavit in support of the Originating Summons, the 7th Defendant in its report indicted the Plaintiff at Pages 32-33 as follows:That the placement of the PTDF’s fund was not done arbitrarily but deliberately designed to promote some business ventures in which the plaintiff and some of his friends has interest.That the placement in TIB, for instance, was designed to promote Netlink Digital Televant (NDTV), a satellite television project and Mofas Shipping Company where the Chairman of both companies is Otunba Fasawe, a long standing friend of the plaintiff.It has also been revealed that Otunba Fasawe remitted the sum of N400 million to the plaintiff’s Personal Assistant, Alhaji Umaru Pariya, on the 4/10/03 which he conveniently recovered through a loan of N420 million he received from TIB on the 22/10/03 after the PTDF’s funds placement.’That a clear demonstration of the plaintiff’s business interest in NDTV is the fact that on 07/10/03 the plaintiff paid the initial sum of N30 million deposit from his Marine Float Account in the Bank PHB for the purchase of the property situated at No. 555 Ademola Adetokunbo Street, Wuse II, Abuja and used as its headquarters.’That to further buttress the long standing business relationship between the plaintiff and Otunba Fasawe, the latter paid the plaintiff the sum of N61 million on 29/01/01 from his Mofas account with TIB.That a further sum of N25 million from Mofas Shipping Company’s account of Otunba Fasawe in TIB was transferred to plaintiff’s Marine Float Account in Bank PHB on 18/02/03.That acting on the facts stated above the plaintiff was indicted by the 7th defendant for embezzlement and fraud.'

Kwasoko not persuadable
I think Lamido is a decent man and a typical good politician. Unlike Rabid Kwasoko Lamido neither plays the game of politics with bitterness nor sees it as the means to an end. Given reason and assurance by the presidency Lamido can be persuaded to support Jonathan come 2015. And if he changes his heart and allow Jonathan for 2015 I would spend my time and resources to elect him in2019
The un-persuadable Kwasoko with hegemonic tendency is the person the presidency must be cautious of. Rabi'u Kwankwaso is the force behind the rebellious 5 and he cares less if PDP disintegrate and lose the 2015 general election. Kwasoko is not enthusiastically interested in the presidential office because he knows being a bigot he could not win a national election. But he mortally believes in Hausa/Fulani hegemony, the born to rule mentality. So he would see that PDP fields a northerner come 2015 otherwise he would work to see that PDP disintegrate, paving the way for a northern APC presidential candidate for a smooth run for the presidency. Kwasoko is neither party nor Nigeria loyal. His loyalty is first to Islam, and 2nd to North. Kwankwaso’s primary goal and belief is for a northern president regardless of the party. So for Kwasoko, peace within PDP with Jonathan as it presidential candidate is neither feasible nor achievable.

Tukur Victim of Proxy war on the presidency.
Mr. President, do not be deceived by songs of praise from your detractors, the 5 governors and their nPDP apologists. It is neither surprising nor accidental that the 5 governors and Atiku blaming Tukur for the crisis in PDP also fervently oppose your 2015 presidential candidacy; why because they want to be president.
Knowing that it will be political mistake to directly attack the presidency these political enemies are attacking and trying to weaken your political allies while praising you only in the open. As you well it’s in the open that the aim of these detractors is to derail your 2015 candidacy and their method is first to create division, and mistrust between you and your strong allies on whom the prospect of your nomination depends on. Once they succeed in weakening and creating division and mistrust between you and your men and women on whom your 2015 candidacy hedges they would have then succeeded in rubbing your 2015 ambition. You should know that the war on Tukur by the same group that mortally oppose your 2015 candidacy is war by proxy against your 2015 ambition.
Therefore it would be a mistake and naivety to believe that these 5 presidential wannabes would relent in their crisis making when you sack Tukur and his NWC. If these 5 and their cohorts say that Tukur is the reason they are splitting PDP then ask for agreement from they that if Tukur goes that they would support your First of Refusal for the 2015 primary. I guarantee they would not assent to such agreement.
Mr. President, do not scarify Tukur’s loyalty and unalloyed support for your 2015 candidacy for a wishful peace with them that rabidly want your post for their selfish ends. Remember, Tukur wants not your post and therefore only fights for you but these 5 want your post desperately and therefore would logical fight you and not tukur for the post, because that which they want you and not Tukur has it.

This Hausa/Fulani undue numerical advantage in local council, state allocations and legislative seats allocation are the reason they, the far north have consistently fought against credible headcount in Nigeria. These are the reasons and force behind Rabid Kwasoko call for the head of Odimegwe, the head of National Census Commission when he Odimegwu rightly criticized the past ridiculous headcounts and assured accurate census base on Biometrics.
Since credible government policies are based on accurate population count and demographics the National Assembly and the Presidency must as duty and responsibility to Nigerians assure and conduct credible head count of Nigerians.

Mr. nPDP Chairman speaks and exposes ignorance
The revered wise and all-knowing chairman of nPDP has spoken and thank God he did because we’re now proven right that it was not Bamanga Tukur but rather Jonathan's 2015 reelection against Hausa/Fulani hegemonic mindset and interest is the force behind the rebellious 5. But mostly interestingly is that by his statement Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje has shown that he not only lack the political sagacity and logical prowess to lead a big Party like PDP but that he is a dullard and No-Nigerian, to threaten disintegration just because an eligible politician renegades in a prior promise to not contest for political position.
Mr. Baraje you're neither a politician nor a Nigerian if this is the reason you're threatening the disintegration of Country you call home. One could not help to wonder how you become the chairman of PDP in the past. Well, this is Nigeria the land of mediocrity of quota. The only reason Baraje could have been PDP party chairman in the past was through the use quota system otherwise called federal character. But here we are and watch as Baraje rabidly oppose Jonathan who not only is taking advantage of his own quota like Baraje did but was actually positioned to receive his own quota through the act of God.
If a military dictator IBB would abrogate the constitution for 9 good years and took Nigeria through 9 years of one man rule or dictatorship and Nigerians see fit to remain Nigerians then it is alter ignorance, stupidity, empty ego, arrogance and childishness to make empty threats against any leader elected by popular vote. Mr. Baraje, if 2015 presidency is your god given right then you must trust your god and be not afraid and then come 2015, stand for election under any party.
“God has been merciful to you, Mr. President, lifting you from being a university teacher to President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in so short a time is something you should be grateful and be contented with.” So Mr. Baraje, why not wait for the same God to dethrone him. And which ought to be easier, from military service to presidency like IBB, Abacha, etc, or from civil service to presidency? Last time I checked must American presidents were all civilians. Obama was a law professor, a legislator and then the president, in very short time period. And what does this argument or line thought of yours actually mean, Mr. nPDP Chairman?
Case for Sovereign National conference 10/2/13 -1

sovereignty is none transferable
sovereignty is none transferable
Folk sovereignty never leaves the people; it is ever resident with the people. Sovereignty comes with tremendous authority but it is not the same thing as authority. Authority is an aspect of the manifestation of sovereignty, the superior overlord. Sovereignty is never delegated. In fact in a republic, the primary difference between sovereignty and authority is that one can be delegated while the other is absolute. I make this distinction because one incompetent Shitnator, Abiriba claims that the people surrenders their sovereign power to the Legislature. How could he say that people transferred the sovereignty to the Legislature? How could this be if the people still have the power to sack the Legislature, the government any time any day? Can one lose something and still have it? Abriba either do not understand sovereignty or he is a dictator. How could people part ways with their sovereignty if they still and always have the power to sack any government any time any day?
Sovereignty is like a crown, kings do not give up their crowns to their proxies, rather they impact them with authority. It is common sense, if the King gives his crown to one proxy how could he delegate the next proxy? As you know, the King can delegate and impact authority to as much proxies as he needs. The King is able to delegate and impact authorities to many of his subject because the crown is still with him. Once the crown leaves him the power to delegate or impact authority would be lost. Likewise sovereignty never leaves the people. Mr Abiriba should do his home work or take his incompetence and go back to his village.
Folk sovereignty never leaves the people; it is ever resident with the people. Sovereignty comes with tremendous authority but it is not the same thing as authority. Authority is an aspect of the manifestation of sovereignty, the superior overlord. Sovereignty is never delegated. In fact in a republic, the primary difference between sovereignty and authority is that one can be delegated while the other is absolute. I make this distinction because one incompetent Shitnator, Abiriba claims that the people surrenders their sovereign power to the Legislature. How could he say that people transferred the sovereignty to the Legislature? How could this be if the people still have the power to sack the Legislature, the government any time any day? Can one lose something and still have it? Abriba either do not understand sovereignty or he is a dictator. How could people part ways with their sovereignty if they still and always have the power to sack any government any time any day?

So little idea in so much time.
So little idea in so much time.
Jonathan blunders; it seems this president has exhausted his little idea on how to move Nigeria forward. If the outcome of the national conference requires the approval of the national assemble why waste money and time for national conference since the National assembles by themselves are national conferences. Some of the problem with Nigeria can be found in the National assemble itself. Among these are the expensive bicameral legislature Nigeria is operating; the ridiculous but outlandish jumbo pay members of these bodies arrogate to themselves; the Hausa/Fulani overwhelming dominance in the National assemble orchestrated by Hausa/ Fulani military lead juntas, etc. Besides like every Nigerian the legislators have both personal and their collective group interest in this conference so why allow them special privilege at the expense of other Nigerians.
How could the National Assemble implement the recommendations of the National conference if the conference recommends, unicameral legislature, cut on national assemble pays? How could national assemble with overwhelming Hausa/Fulani dominance accept a pure secular state devoid of sharia, , rotational presidency, fiscal federalism, and regionalism and parliamentary systems if the conference recommends these.
Not in my character to meddle with mediocrity but I kind have supported Jonathan's Presidency because I had and still want to accord him benefit of doubt. If Jonathan believes that the recommendation of the conference will be subject to yeah and nay of the national assemble I suggest he call off the conference because the exercise will be act in futility.
I tend not to agree with Tinubu but it seems he was absolutely correct when described the President’s conference as a Greek Gift, a Trojan horse from the president to Nigerians.
Mr. President quit pontificating on sovereign conference, and take back your Trojan horse and shove it.
1999 constitution, a devil’s craft -2
1999 constitution, a devil’s craft.
For any meaningful progressive change, Nigeria needs a new beginning, a new rule of engagement, a new constitution? Nigeria with its current constitution is like a man hitchhiking to paradise in a devil’s space craft. The current Nigeria constitution matter is satirically analogous to the fate of a man who is heading to the God’s paradise but took a ride in the devil’s space craft. Now, by hitchhiking with the devil this man has not committed any sin. But for his heavenly arrival he must get off the devil’s vehicle. However, this rider cannot abandon the devilish craft because there are no more vehicles heading his heavenly direction. Yet, if he continues with the devil’s ride he will not get to his destination because deviled craft would never go near the God’s domain.
Like the man hitchhiking with the devil, neither the Legislature, the Judiciary, nor the Executive can abandon or abrogate the current Nigeria constitution (or veritably, the current legal illegality), because the current constitution, like the devil’s space craft, is from where these three arms of the government derive their power, authority and legitimacy. Without the current military constitution these arms of government are by themselves illegitimate and cannot function. These arms of the government cannot even correct, rectify, the 1999 constitution (the 1999 military decree) because in a republic they lack the power or people’s mandate to affect such constitutional changes except first, people accepts this military constitution and then ratify such change. In a republic, these three arms of the government also cannot individually or collectively make a new constitution because they are but servants of the People, the Master. Servants do not make rules, laws for or over the Master.
Constitutional amendment to the current 1999 military constitution, with or without the presidential assent is an ultra varies; an act in futility. So long as the current constitution is in itself a military construct, an amendment to it or a new constitution draft like onto it; but not by the people is but an aberration. In fact a presidential assent to any amendment to the 1999 constitution (or the 1999 military decree) or a new constitution draft not subject to the people’s ratification constitutes double illegalities, which does not equal legality. Any court decision for or against the amendment to the 1999 military decree is a triple illegality which again do not equal legality, because again, the 1999 military decree is not a people’s constitution but the act of the military dictatorship.
If military regimes are aberrations so are the laws and constitutional decrees put in place by these regimes. The 1999 Nigeria constitution is but the fruit of poisonous tree. It is impossible for evil to beget good. If military dictatorship is an evilly, politically poisonous tree, how can this evil beget the good, the good of moral, ethical constitutional order? Military dictatorships in Nigeria were aberration, so were their decrees, edicts, promulgations, laws and constitutions regardless how these were constituted. The 1999 constitution is akin to a moral text authored by a criminal or by a morally bankrupt person or persons. Under a truly democratic rule, leaders of these juntas should be put to trial for treason.
For Nigeria to emerge from its current constitutional mambo jumbo and save its reputation, the judiciary, the Supreme Court in particular must order a sovereign national conference. That is, if the Judiciary understands that it currently operates on a phantom constitutional nebula that the 1999 military decree represents. This is tricky but it is only way out from the post-military decree that Nigeria is current operating on. To escape the current constitutional quagmire, elders, clergies, leaders of the people, citizens from across the nation must convene a constitutional conference while the nation still rides on the current devils craft which is the 1999 military decree. The Nigeria’s unity should not be subjected to negotiations in any constitutional conference.
In a republic, sovereignty resides with people. And since a constitution or an amendment to it must be ratified by the 3/4 or 2/3 or the whole of the people, as the case may be, and or rarely by their delegated representatives, presidential and or legislative assents are not required for such people’s constitutional charter. The President, the legislators, the members of the judiciary, are but servants of the people, the Master, and receive their mandate from the people, the Master. It therefore would be illogical that the Master’s rules or decision, in this case the people's constitutional desire or charter would be subservient (subject) to the servants or to their signatories or approvals. Presidential and legislative assents to legitimate people’s constitutional charter are inconsequential and therefore not needed. The past, present and future confusion about constitutional matters, is that the corrupt neither know nor appreciate the difference between a constitution and a legislative statute. In a republic a constitution is the law of the land by the act of the people to whom sovereignty resides with; while statute is the law of the land by the deliberative act of the subservient delegated legislature whose authority comes from the people. Statutes are repeal-able, voidable, nullify-able, suspend-able, postpone-able, by the legislature itself or by the courts, but constitutions are not, accept the Master, the people so chooses; or a dictatorship forcefully suspends the constitution, a treasonable offense. The Legislature’s power to make, amend the constitution, a statute is very inferior to the people’s power to sack in entirety the legislative body itself, repeal, abolish, void legislative statute. Any constitutional charter, amendment, draft not expressly authorized and or ratified by the people is illegal, unconstitutional and an aberration, with or without presidential assent. Besides, the 1999 military act or decree is not in itself a republican, a people’s constitution and can best be called legal illegality or constitutional aberration. To avoid a constitutional crisis that is inevitable with the military’s 1999 constitutional aberration, a sovereign national conference becomes imperative.

Sanusi, Father Christmax that steals from the deprived for the depraved
Sanusi insists on naira for dollar transfers …says he won’t re-visit N 5000 note
Sanusi, Father
Christmax that steals from the deprived for the depraved
What sanusi is
deviously trying to do is to force Nigerians of southern extration that remit
95% of the foreign currency, to sell their hard dollars to the banks for
Pennies. while his Huasa/Fulani and corrupt public official that buy these
foreign currencies profit from the hardwork of these Nigerians who through
economic exile in foreign land earned the currencies. How many Hausa/Fulanis
are in economic exile in foreign lands remitting hard earned foreign currencies
into the country?
