EFCC to ban corrupt politicians from contesting for political positions in NIGERIA
Corrupt politicians who plan to run for offices in the coming elections will be stopped by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the anti-graft agency said in Abuja yesterday.
Farida Waziri, the chairman of the commission, stated this while receiving board members of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) at the EFCC headquarters. She said that the anti-graft agency will prevent corrupt politicians from contesting any public office in 2011. According to her, the anti-graft agency would collaborate with the police, the State Security Service, the Independent National Electoral Commission and the CCB to jointly produce a security report on every candidate that shows interests in the elections. “Based on their security reports, they will be stopped at the right time,” she said. “There is no way that we will allow the political parties to field corrupt people. Legally, we are empowered to look into some of these issues.”
Mrs Waziri also said that the EFCC will use ongoing investigations to prevent indicted officials from running for office. “How do we allow these people to come back and say that they are going to lead us? The world will laugh at us,” she said. “We see that some of them are already printing posters and I will see how they are going to work that out. We are not going to allow that. We want to ensure that only the proper persons will represent us.”
Past offenders to be tried
The Chairman of the board of the CCB, Sam Saba, said that former ministers who failed to properly declare their assets will be facing a tribunal soon. “Some past ministers did not declare their assets,” he said. “Their names have been compiled and we’ve sent the names to the Federal Ministry of Justice because we have to get their approval before inviting them to face the tribunal.” Mrs Waziri also noted that some corrupt persons, who have intentions to loot public funds, deliberately declare more assets than they have, and urged the CCB to properly investigate all declared assets. “Some with intentions to steal put fake items in the forms,” she said. “Some claim that they have houses in the US, UK.”
comment:
I hope this is not just to entertain us with good talk. Let your conscience guide you madam. No witch-hunting this time around. If you do a clean job, I will support you till death. Goodluck.
GOLDEN LINES ON PRECIOUS MINDS
Knowledge talks, wisdom listens.Don`t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart.
I don`t know what the key to success is, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
A winner listens, a looser just waits until it is their turn to talk.The only time you run out of chances is when you stop talking to them.The best things in life are not things .
If your words are not grounded in the truth, they might backfire.Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, faith looks up.
The ones you wait for are the ones who keep you behind.Just because someone doesn`t
speak a lot doesn`t mean he`s shy, still water runs deep.
Ladies and gentlemen, have a nice day.

5 Simple Steps to Live a Debt Free Life by Felix Asibor
To live debt free is more a habit than a matter of having a lot of money. So that's why it requires discipline and establishing goals in order to live a debt free life.
Many people think that if someone earns a big salary , it means more capacity to pay their debts and in this way, a debt free life, but that is far from the truth, especially because the more money you earn the higher debts you can have, so the cycle will repeat again and at that time with higher debts.
So, how do you develop the habit to have a debt free life?Let's summarize some actions you can start applying today:
1. Establish a daily budget (how much you can spend daily).2. At the end of the day check if you followed the budget.3. If you didn't follow your budget, try to save some money the next day. If you followed it, save this money.
4. Try to pay using cash or debit card (save the receipt for your daily checking)
5. At the end of the week see how much money you have (if you were able to save some you are on the right track, if no try to save some the next week)
Wishing you all happy week end. God bless you all.
