Troubled Bankole Ordered To Appear Over Impounded Cash And Unpaid Wages
The electoral woes of House Speaker Dimeji Bankole may be compounded by tomorrow if the speaker fails to appear before members of the House of Representatives to explain how the house ended up borrowing N10 billion that is now trapped at the United Bank of Africa (UBA).
Speaker Bankole has been ordered to appear before the House of Representatives to defend against allegations of financial impropriety relating to the non-payment of allowances to members of the house who recently returned to work after the April elections.
Dino Melaye moved a motion to have Bankole suspended after he drew the attention of the house to a notice that the UBA has withheld the salaries and allowances of members because Mr. Bankole got the house indebted to the bank to the tune of N10 billion.
Melaye then moved a motion asking for the suspension of the Speaker Bankole, however several members asked him to allow the Speaker to defend himself the next day so as to be given a fair hearing.
Mr. Bankole has been avoiding the house like a plague since he lost last April's election in his homestate of Ogun. Before the meeting today, house members were furious about the fact that Bankole locked the chamber. As they tried to physically break open the chambers, the Deputy speaker, Usman Bayero Nafada intervened.
At the meeting today, Mr. Nafada apologized for adjourning the House illegally last week but denied that he was privy to how the House has borrowed N10 billion from the UBA. Nigerian lawmakers are the highest paid and some of the most unproductive lawmakers in the world.
BANKY OLE OR BANK ROBBER OR NA NIJA ROBBER
The yoruba has a saying:eni gbe epo la ja ati eni gba sile ole ni awon mejeji,i.e both bankole and his UBA allied are thieves,however bankole should buried his head in shame as a young man and no 4 man in nigeria it show how reckless some of our leaders can be ,how insensitive they are.How sad that a 41yr old man has written his name in BLACK.My advise to President GEJ is that let the law take its course.JAIL HIM.
Haba Bank Ole U........
Well, EFCC, Goodluck, CBN Governor
I dey una hand make we see wetin una go do this Barawooo.
Let him....
Let Bankole come out and defend himself, cos his silence may be assumed, guilty as charged.
Dino Melaye and others who
Dino Melaye and others who exposed the corruption and abusive of office going on in the house last year have been vindicated by this latest revelation.
Our challenge is how do we make elective posts not juicy.Dimeji must be dealt with to serve as a deterrent to others. God bless Dino for his courage to face Dimeji. God bless Nigeria.
DANDAVE FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
unfortunately, u neither give your name nor any clue about your identity, perhaps it would have helped in understanding your standpoint. But all the same your write up has thrown you up as a compound fooooooooool and I could discern your pitiable acute and shallow knowledge of a civilized, orderly and transparent economic reforms (especially as it concerns our financial institutions).
Members of the house of the
Members of the house of the Nigerian house of reps, you are good at embarrassing us. It is either you are fighting over one trivial matter or the other. when will u fight for a just cause.
DANDAVE FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Its obvious,that u do nt have respect for ur father..How dare u talk about the savior of your country and its economy.From ur name its obvious of the disease ure suffering from.U called him mr bow tie....I take that as a compliment foooooooooool
Bankole, you too show up
I dont know when this greed will stop in Nigeria. Bankole doen't know what to do again, he went to borrow 10 billion Naira from UBA. Let these people be jailed. There're a lot of people out there seeking to get a job that will just earn them a living, and a few is holding BILLIONS. May God punish them.
house rep
Nothing will happen to him because Jonathan will not allow it these are jonathans friend all of you should stop wining like a baby corruption fighting is Dead, i mean DEAD in nigeria.
What a shame?
What a shame? A supposedly young man whom many thought Nigeria's future is safe on his hand, now turn out to be a moron. I am not surprised, his arrogance and unbelievable unethical behaviour in the NASS speaks a volume.
BANK OLE
By now i expect Mr Bow-tie and Mallam of central bank, playing god over the financial institutions in Nigeria to urgently swing into action and tell his usual bravado how loan of a magnitude like this passes through his preying eyes. If Mallam at CBN fails to act appropriately then this will justify the conspiracy theory that the last clean up exercise in the banking industry was notthing but a grandstanding and an exercise to settle scores.
If this alleged N10b loan is not investigated and no position is taken by CBN, i dare Mallam, the silverbird 'Hyprocrite Man of the Year'
I HAVE A DREAM
I HAVE A DREAM THAT ONEDAY THE YOUTH OF THIS PRESENT GENERATION,IF NOT POLLUTED WILL RISE TO FORCEFULLY PUT THINGS IN THEIR RIGHT PLACES IN THIS COUNTRY SINCE THE GREEDY AND CORRUPT POLITICIANS ARE NOT PREPARED TO MOVE WITH CHANGE.B-E-W-A-R-E. I FORSEE R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to a failed Country
In a viable, organised country, this Dude would have be cooling his ass in jail, surly not in Nigeria. Greedy and vehemently corrupt and has nothing good to offer than draining the tax payers treasuring. This can only happen in farce country like that of GEJ.
HE SPENT IT ON HIS REELECTION BID
WELL EFCC HAD BETTER GEAR UP FOR THE INVESTIGATION. THE MONEY IS GONE AND HE HAS NO MEANS OF REPLACING IT.
Na today?
Thief dey catch thief?Make una dey watch if dem go do am anything.All the state governors wey dey mismanage their state funds are they not still in government even rigged election to retain their posts?10 billion naira small now.The one wey JEGA of INEC collect to rigg PDP governors to continue their chop-chop nko?Which one I go mention sef?One day we go know how far for all this nonsensical awuf embesslement.
Bankole, it's a pity rue
Bankole, it's a pity rue involved in money scandal again.....I never expect u to end ur career dis way.....but it's a lesson to we youth
P.D.P & the Politics of ghana must go
There is only one truth, to tel d truth sometimes is bitter d N10b scan by speaker Dimeji bankole presents d way n manners in which P.D.P gov't handle d affairs of dis nation 4 d past 12yrs.Example, d N75bil allegation by former works n housing minister. D former. Speaker patricia ateh scan, THE SHARING OF N3bil to each p.d.p state across d country by mr. President Gudlock e. Jonathan among others. As far as i am concern p.d.p is not representing d yearning n aspiration of nigerian masses.
BANKOLE (HELP STEAL IN WHOLE HOUSE)
Ummhhhhh....
Aye nyilo anto, time will tell. Please can the suicide bombers in the country direct their mission to right place..
thief-thief people, shameless people, they will all reap what they are sowing while alive.Nigeria, we hail thee,,........... in brotherhood we fail, or should I say united we fail, divided we stand....
WILL THE LAW ENFORCEMENT BE MAN ENOUGH?
If it were in civilized countries, this man will be sent to jail, but in Nigeria, none is fit enough to cast the stone. The few who are empowered to do so do not have the liver.
Tomorrow the man will be made a minister. Note it!
BANK OLE AND UBA BANK PLC
it is unfortunate that those elected into offices to make laws that will improve the well being od the electorates have ended up fending for their pocket and perhaps, making things more difficult for the man on the street. it is good we are privy of this transaction between speaker and UBA. Bankole as speaker turned used the position to reap Nigerians - from the unresolved Peugeot scandal to borrowing money from the bank. Why and on what ground did UBA lend Bank ole money?
The same story
The only time we hear them fight is when they fight for Money...shameless lawbreakers!
coruption
what a shame!pls pls nigerians lets wake-up to stop this evil doing?
BANKOLE BORROWED N10b from UBA
The yoruba tribe of Nigeria had a saying that your name is you. The speaker of the house of represenative has name that he is living to the meaning of his name. BANK OLE. Bankole is ole that robbed a bank in brought dayline by borrowing solely on behalf of the house even without the knowledge of the principal officers of the house. Habba BANKY OLE.
IF BANKOLE HAD WON
IF BANKOLE HAD WON THE ELECTION;THE BANK SHOULD HAVE KEPT QUIET.
SO WHO ACTUALLY IS THE ROGUE?
NO WONDER THEY ARE THE LENDER OF LAST RESORT....
Kick Him Out
Demeji your behaviour has gone too far.
TRUTH CANNOT BE HIDDEN THOUGH IT MAY BE SURPRESSED.
Moment of truth is here and all the rougues in the NASS must pay for their atrocities against this great nation. Will the thief called Bankole ever appear againin the house? Has it taken off and leaving the rot for his deputy to wallow. What a shame. THe corrupt senate president is going about bribing people to make return him to the post: he must fail as Nigerians are not ready to tolerate their nonsense any longer. Bankole must be investigated and jailed as he has committed unpardonable evils in the house. God bless Nigeria.
ARREST ALL UBA BANK DIRECTORS
ARREST ALL UBA BANK DIRECTORS AND TONY OLUMELU FOR INDUCING THIS DEBT ON OUR NATION INDIRECTLY.
Until we deal ruthlessly with those who are the marketers of these frauds in our society, this cancerous and evil financial game will not stop.
I strongly recommend that those financial institutions that grant these fraudulent loans without collateral should be indicted and top directors of such institutions imprisoned for negative role played.
With respect to UBA , all top directors and Managing Director MUST be investigated critically and sent to prison for professional miscunduct .
EFCC--WAZIRI BE HONEST IN YOUR DUTIES TO NIGERIANS
THESE POLITICAL RASCALS SHOULD HAVE THIER BANK ACCOUNTS ACROSS THE NATION AND OVERSEAS PROBED.
NIGERIAN SHOULD WAKE UP NOW AND TAKE THEIR DESTINY IN THEIR HANDES FOR THE BETTER FUTURE OF OUR YOUNG GENERATION.
Demiji's 11th hour is indeed
Demiji's 11th hour is indeed a bad one by all standard.....I mean his political future.He actually started on a clean sheet but his last hours as exposed by his collegues and the media alike is Worrisome....i just hope he would be able to defend this before the extinction of his tenure,,,,,,
Serves the Reps right
When Dino was talking about the 10Billion car lone before he was expelled from the house the same reps as stupid and corrupt as they are allowed it. Now Bank-ole has shown is true colours with their allowance and they're now crying wolf. How interesting....Nice for them to feel the pain of been robbed, and cheated.
