Facebook is a social website and it is a common knowledge that individuals and corporate organisations get connected to the website for free.

A new twist was added to the drama at the public hearing by the National Assembly House Committee on Sports when the National Sports Commission, NSC, revealed in a document submitted to the Committee that N1.2million was spent to get a facebook page for the Commission.

Facebook is a social website and it is a common knowledge that individuals and corporate organisations get connected to the website for free, but the NSC had given a new dimension to corruption by spending a whopping N1.2 million. A visit to the facebook page of the commission on www.facebook.com/nationalsportscommission indicated that the page was not even a functional one and a lot of Nigerians have reacted on the social media to the new tale of corruption rocking the NSC.

It was also revealed that the NSC spent N182,124,179 to refurbish the National Stadium in Lagos and N117,875,820.95 was spent for the same purpose at the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, Ibadan, Oyo State.

However, a reliable source at the NSC told P.M. Sports in Abuja that it is not the first time financial crisis will be rocking the sports authority, stressing that the Director General of NSC, Dr. Patrick Ekeji, will still come out with a clean bill at the end of the day. The source disclosed that some staff suspected of masterminding petitions against Ekeji have been transferred out of Abuja to some states where they will no longer be used against Patrick Ekeji.

Meanwhile, the House Committee on Sports headed by Godfrey Gaiya has cleared the NSC of financial recklessness. The Committee, which had earlier frowned at the expenditure and contracts awarded by the NSC since 2009 went ahead to approve N6.8billion for the NSC in 2012 budget, with N2.4billion meant to cover the cost of participating at the 2012 Olympics in London.

Anyways! What do you expect when a board of internal revenue secretary chairman asked what Tax Remittance Table is…….hissing…..I wonder how these leaders were appointed …..Mi o mo? Se o mo?

Boko Haram threatens to kill judges over Al-Mustapha •ACF, Emirs hold secret meeting •Prisons Service renovates cell for Al-Mustapha •Al-Mustapha, Sho

The Boko Haram said once the death sentence was executed, it would extend its attack to judges and courts all over Nigeria.

The group’s spokesman, Abul Qaqa, was quoted to have said in a statement on Monday night: “Should the Nigerian government dare carry out the sentence announced earlier today on Major Hamzat Al-Mustapha (retd), the full-scale attacks will be expanded from security agencies and agents to the judiciary, from police stations to courts and so on. All chief justices, High Court judges and Appeal Court judges should take note. The blood of Al-Mustapha is the blood of the Nigerian masses.”

Hamza Al-Mustapha on the 30/01/2012 was led to death row

The 13 -year long trial of former chief security officer to Nigeria's infamous dictator, General Sanni Abacha ended dramatically today leading to a death sentence pronounced by a Lagos High court judge. Hamza Al Mustapha had ordered the killing of pro-democracy activist, Kudirat Abiola on June 4 1996 in broad daylight during the dark days of military despotism.

The man who was once one of the the most feared military officers is facing nemesis for his acts of impunity as an enforcer to a deadly military dictator. Al Mustapha was led to the death row in Kirikiri prison in Lagos after the verdict. But it wasn't without the support of a former Wimbledon soccer star, John Fashanu, who came to court to cheer for hitman.

Making sense of it is vital to all us.

A federal capital territory, FCT high court presided over by Justice Sulaiman Belgore on Tuesday 31^st January 2012 discharged a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole and his deputy, Bayero Nafada of the corruption charges filed against them by Nigeria’s anti-graft agency,EFCC.

Bankole was arraigned last year of looting the accounts of the House of Representatives as speaker using the public account to borrow money from the banks, which were eventually laundered to buy choice properties at giveaway prices. Through such acts of money laundering his family is the proud owner of the NITEL building in Lagos as well as his former residence which was sold to him for meager N40 million.

So now they were acquitted on the basis that they have no case to answer in connection with a N40billion embezzlement charge.

Is this fair?
