All dis news, are they really true? Cos I wonder how come we're so blinded to it? Is it that we want change or we just hate Gej?


Thank God I followed my instincts and what one of my best ever musician said. He had pointed out about the looting that went on back then and under OBJ and Buhari's rule only for OBJ to throw his mum from some story buildings while he was later jailed too. Up till now, he has not told us what happened to the $2.8billion that went missing under his nose as petroleum minister. Believe that the man has never looted at your own peril.

However those in their inner circle know he is a THIEF just like all the others.
Otherwise why did Buhari say that Abacha never stole our money? shocked

His stand is always that Abacha never looted because he personally masterminded all the looting that happened during Abacha's tyranny... Fear that man more than you fear devil and Abacha..

The present economic downturn calls for soberness as it has hit hard on the living standard of Nigerians. there is virtually no aspect of the economy that is not affected. However, it is a time we must show comportment, be disciplined and think straight. It is not a time we fan the embers of ethnicity and sectionalism. This will do us no good; since austerity is respecter of nobody or affiliation. This moment calls for every region that constitute Nigeria to come together and drive this project call Nigeria to its expected height. At the same time I wish to remind Nigerians that power comes from God only. The present economic reality tends to vindicate the former president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan whose disparagement and abuse knew no dimension. Power comes from God, we come, do our best and leave for another. It is my believe that we are not reaping the consequences of our actions and in-actions. This trying times calls for all tribe to come to the table of reconciliation and with the heart of forgiveness lest we fail to tap from the strenght of one another to solve this menace. We need the ingeniuty of our Ibo brothers, we need the knowledge of our western brothers, the tact of our brothers from the south and the trust of our Northern brothers to unlock the potentials of this great country. Me think what hatred does is to lock our collective intelligence and keep us in a state of perpertual backwardness. Let us forgive our past and walk together to ther future for the purpose of posterity.
The emergenge Of president Buhari at this crucial time of our national life is a test to our collective forbearance. If he should succeed then he must rule with humilty and eschew all forms of vindictiveness. He must carry everyone along, hear their opinions and seek their collective wellbeing.
We believ in the Nigerian project no matter how dark the cloud is.

This FALSEHOOD UPON FALSEHOOD.
I have read the supposed article. Nowhere is it said that Buhari looted PTF. I bought this copy of Newswatch when a lot of the commentactors on this thread were not yet born. Nothing in the article says Buhari stole any money. Obasanjo also confirmed the same.
This is CORRUPTION FIGHTING BACK and it will only bring a tightening of more screws on the relatives of the OP and his paymasters who sponsored this mis information. In fact it is commendable that a lot of mud is being slung. This is finally what will kill corruption in Nigeria.

However this Newswatch article is LOW IQ. You guys have to try harder.

Nigerians who know , Nigerians above the age of 45 have read it many times. That magazine was published in Oregun, in Ikeja. The old men who read it before most of your parents got married were in front of the queues to vote for Buhari. There are other interesting ones about 2.8 billion and 52 suitcases. My parents also used to discuss those over dinner,. They were also the first in line to vote for Buhari. Buhari's anti corruption credentials are sterling and we who voted for him have more IQ and are better informed than the kids deceiving themselves on this thread.

The report is already disproven. The PTF was 75% clean. The magazine you are talking about was published by Mr Ray Ekpu and some 3x colleagues of Dele Giwa. It is because you guys are young and so ignorant. You are shoving things in our face that we read decades ago and threw somewhere and still voted for Buhari. How idiotic?

This is new discovery to you?

Shame on you. You better go and scan Daily Times of the 70s about 2.8 billion and Daily Times of the 80s about 52 suitcases so that we can slap your face with it and tell you to stop doing "break dancing" in 2016.

I wonder who is a kid. Did you take time to read the full post. Indeed its a great reminders since Nigerians have short memory.

I do recall vividly now.

On Obasanjo assuming office as President he faulted the operation of the PTF which was considered a parallel Government and was considered unconstitutional. Premised on this the Committee was set up to wind down the Fund.
As you can see in the report the President was a complete dullard that he virtually handed over the daily operations of the FUND to the APC- Afri Project Consultant .
Besides there were several irregularities in the handling and disbursement of Public fund just like HE himself is now accusing DASUKI.

The same Engr. in charge of APC died in a mysterious manner when he was requested to give details of the Funds in their disposal. Thank God for democracy BUHARI would have find a way to silence us all.

He his incapable of any intellectual discuss just like most of his fanatical supporters that have made of god out of Buhari.

We shall all see its a matter of time.

What a tanker load of watery faecal deposit. They think they have better IQ than people who are reasonable and sensible enough to believe reasonable freedom fighters like Fela. How many of the bigoted old men you mentioned have better IQ than the one Fela had? You think being guided by silly religious and tribal bigotry equates to possessing high IQ? Little wonder Nigeria will never stop being a third world/developing country.

By the way, I hope you use your IQ to alleviate poverty and take Nigeria out of this recession presently being experienced.

Another truck load of watery faeces. Who gives a hoot about looters? They can all die for all I care. My only concern is that of a criminal masquerading as a holy angel. A criminal that looted us dry as a minister, PTF chair and as a tyrant. I'm also concerned about a foolish set of people rejoicing when some facade anti corruption battle is only taken to the camp of the opposition while some elements are left to loot us dry within the ruling party. Only fools will fall for all this useless mind games played by some set of power drunk and incompetent goats.

Also, no apologies if I take the words of Fela over that of your god and that of Ebola Ewu.

Newswatch VOL 31, Nos. 9 & 10


How Buhari Ran PTF
Interim Management Committee on PTF raises questions over some of the
transactions it considers irregular during the tenure of retired
Major-General Muhammadu Buhari

 By Jossy Nkwocha

  How did N500 million belonging to the Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF,
disappear mysteriously? That is one of the questions being raised in
the preliminary report of the Interim Management Committee, IMC-PTF,
set up by President Olusegun Obasanjo to wind-down the activities of
the organisation.

Newswatch gathered that the money was put in a bank by the erstwhile
management led by Muhammadu Buhari, retired major-general and former
head of state. But when the IMC-PTF took over the operations of the
body, it discovered that the money had been withdrawn by unidentified
persons.

Haroun Adamu, executive chairman of IMF-PTF who confirmed the story,
said: “ They took in N500 million but by the time we came in, there was
no one kobo from the deposit.
” According to Newswatch investigations,
both the bank and Buhari were dragged before President Obasanjo who
insisted that the money must be recovered. Adamu told Newswatch in
Abuja a fortnight ago that the bank has now agreed to pay back the
money in seven years but his committee insists that the money should be
refunded as soon as possible. Adamu neither named of the bank nor say
whether or not Buhari was personally involved in the matter.


The mysterious withdrawal of the money is one of the allegations
levelled against the Buhari-led past administration of PTF by the IMC
which seems to have put the four-year tenure of Buhari as the executive
chairman of PTF under intensive searchlight. Although Adamu insists
that Buhari is not under probe,
he said that a technical
audit/verification exercise being carried out by the committee shows
that a lot of ugly things had taken place under the acclaimed
no-nonsense retired army general.

The committee is asking questions about several contracts worth N207
billion awarded by PTF under Buhari. It is also raising serious doubts
over different payments totalling N135.59 billion made by the Fund for
various projects, leaving a debt burden of more than N70 billion owed
numerous contractors, consultants, manufacturers, publishers and
suppliers who are now waging a big war against the IMC-PTF.



Is this the so called report that indicted Buhari? I keep insisting that Nigeria's number one problem is not corruption, it is illiteracy. It is easier governing corrupt people than illiterate people.

Now where did the report indict Buhari? This style of indictment is just like the Sanusi indictments, they looked into the accounts of PDF and conclude that this item is too much or this contract is inflated without bringing in expert valuers. If contracts can be valued at mare sight by everybody, then companies and government agencies would not need to go through elaborate tender process to award contracts. The chief executive can just guess contract sums from the top of his/her head. The report simply substituted PTF with Buhari's name and pronto, you have an indictment.

I do not have the time to go through the frivolity of the so called indictments but i would just bold the relevant areas for the reader to see the indictments.

They took in N500 million but by the time we came in, there was
no one kobo from the deposit.
So the N500 million deposited at the bank was remain sitting in the account, waiting for the Adamu led committee to be formed, so they can spend it.
both the bank and Buhari were dragged before President Obasanjo
Obasanjo is now a judge where cases of financial crimes are dragged before.

Adamu neither named of the bank nor say whether or not Buhari was personally involved in the matter

Although Adamu insists that Buhari is not under probe.
If Adamu cannot name the bank or say whether or not Buhari was personally involved and still insist that Buhari was not under probe, then why waste our time with the long epistle and why are PDP/IPOB so ecstatic after reading the report?

Even before the Adamu led PTF began its operations, they were already being accused of corruption and asking for bribes.

There is nothing untoward about PDF hiring consultants to help it run its operations, the PDF is like the ministry of works and housing , health and education all rolled into one. You do not expect a committee of less than 10 people to run and manage all their operations.
