Akinsnaira:
A man that can go to this extent to witch-hunt opposition just because he is so power drunk and desperate to remain in power, some Igbos will still claim he is innocent of boko haram ravaging the north presently. Boko haram is just one of gej's political calculations to disenfranchise the people (north) he hates so much and believe can massively vote him out of power notwithstanding their political affiliation (APC or PDP).


This man is on a mission, and that mission portends national disunity

Who told you GEJ is power drunk. Why not ask your goons in the north who have always insisted that power belongs to the north and they are born to rule. Why are you people so daft, I don't get some of you. Your comments lack depth and you talk like people brainwashed with sulphuric acid. Ever since GEJ won elections, has he ever one month free of violence and bombings from the northerners, yet you say he is power drunk. The northerners have done everything possible through their beloved brothers in boko haram to make governance horrible for this man, yet you come here to talk trash, please delete yourself and go and hug transformer. Rubbish. You should be ashamed of your comment here. Your handle tells it all. It's obvious you just hate GEJ

PaulJohn1:


And leaving it in the hands of omisore, obanikoro, akala, gbenga daniel, bankole, bode george is the best option?

Those guys listed above are the true definition of rascals, radicals, robbers, criminals and killers. Their trackrecord is there for you to see.
These are the ones you wish Jonathan handover Southwest politics to?
Think!! Mr.

. You 4got to add Ayodele fayose,Buruji kashamu the drug baron,who is wanted by the united state of america(USA).

IF U HAVE WATCHED THIS, PLEASE REALISE THE DANGER WE ARE ALL IN. APC AND PDP WILL NEVER BE THE ANSWER TO A UNITED NIGERIA.....
RESIST THE DEVILS THAT LEAD US...


SMH AND PRAYING FOR THIS COUNTRY

If we must trace the origin of this problem...it must end on the table of that white-beared-whiskey drinking Lord Lugard and his girl friend.

Spot on

LFJ:


So you think it is appropriate for the president to interfere in the affair of other arms of government? If the president fail to be honorable in his approach to issue by apply wisdom, then who am I to blame the member of the house to result to dishonorable approach.

They are all simply birds of a feather. I'm ashamed of Jonathan, Police and the so called honourables. And their children will be watching; my Daddy climb gate. Can 2 wrongs make a right? Where is evidence of leadership and maturity? Our leaders are not exemplary and in need of specially conducted deliverance urgently

I must say that the PDP members handled themselves very well and maturely. As for the APC lawmakers......heh...bunch of thugs. And can you image the last lawmaker asking what the Senate president is doing in their chamber? Is there a law against that? And "THIER" chamber?! Last time I checked, they were the MINORITY.

Open Letter to General Buhari [Retd]

On 2015 Presidential Election

1. Majority of politicians who encourage you to re-contest in 2015 do not share in your vision. Most of them, especially Hausa Fulani politicians, want to ride on your popularity to victory politically. Today, even Mallam El Rufai who insulted you and described you as a ‘perpetually unelectable’ politician in 2010 is now singing your praises. So, what has changed between then and now other than El Rufai’s selfish desire to use you to achieve his political ambition? Just take a look at his campaign posters in Kaduna and judge for yourself. This was the same reason that led to massive influx of politicians, mostly Hausa Fulani politicians into CPC in 2011. They know that without you, they are politically dead, hence, they will continue to flatter you, insult your perceived political opponents and pretend to support you in order to ensure your continuous participation in partisan politics for their selfish interests.

2. Most Nigerian politicians are thieves, including members of your party, APC. Currently, all lawmakers in NASS, irrespective of party affiliation, are cooperating amongst themselves to steal public funds. If any of them or any Nigerian politician believes that you will fight corruption if elected into office as Nigerian president, he or she will not vote for you. Do not be deceived because they are into politics primarily to steal public funds and protect their ill gotten wealth as long as they live. In addition, there are thousands of very corrupt and influential Nigerians such as ex-presidents, ex-governors, contractors, etc who had already corruptly enriched themselves. As long as these thieves are alive, they will go to any length to ensure that your path to Aso Rock Villa is strewn with impassable obstacles.

3. You supported introduction of Sharia Laws in the north in 2000 and advised Muslims to vote only for politicians who would protect Islam. When ex-Governor Yerima was criticized for amputating a Muslim’s hand for stealing, you supported it and asked’ what is wrong if, according to Sharia Laws, Muslims cut off another Muslim’s hand for stealing?’ You said that Boko Haram terrorists were fighting for their rights like Niger Delta militants did. You also called on Federal Government to grant them amnesty and stop dropping bombs on ‘innocent northerners’. In recognition of your support, Boko Haram terrorists nominated you to lead their delegation for negotiation with Federal Government. A member of European Parliament, Mr Franz Obermayr accused you of sponsoring Boko Haram terrorists, but up till date you have not reacted to this weighty allegation. Also, you have not even for once condemned the on going widespread destruction of lives and properties of northern minorities by Fulani herdsmen in the north. Because of these amongst others, you are the most popular living politician amongst Hausa Fulani Muslims, especially Islamic fundamentalists who believe that you are the ‘Amir’ who will surely implement Sharia Laws in Nigeria. For the same reasons Sir, non-Hausa Fulani/Kanuri Nigerians fear and detest you with a passion, especially northern minorities who are being butchered daily by Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram terrorists.

4. You won a total of 12,214,853 votes during the presidential election in 2011. Out of these, you got 10,078,356 votes [82.5% of the votes]from Hausa Fulani and Kanuri dominated states in North West Geopolitical Zone [NWGZ] and North East Geopolitical Zone [NEGZ]. From your geopolitical zone alone, NWGZ, you secured 53% [ 6,453,437 votes] of the total votes, [12,214,853 votes]. However, you did not secure the mandatory 25% of votes cast in any state in the south. Though you did not even campaign in those states, you expected Nigerians in those states to vote for you, Sir, what do you take them for? As expected, you said the elections were rigged in those states which you did not win, but free, fair and credible in those states which you won. The fact is that whether you campaign or not, you will always win elections in those Hausa Fulani and Kanuri dominated states. But Sir, the opinions held by a high percentage of the rest Nigerians about you are just too negative. Some of your praise singers are collaborating with Sahara Reporter Newspaper to produce bogus online opinion polls in your favour. Sir, you may wish to hold political rallies outside Hausa Fulani/Kanuri dominated towns to see things for yourself.

5. Sir, your real supporters are product of Almajiri System of Islamic Education whose upbringing does not permit independent and logical analysis of any situation. They are programmed to accept whatever their leaders tell them without reasoning. They consider the use of violence to settle any dispute as a norm and they rarely travel out of their immediate environments. They believe that implementation of Sharia Laws will transform Nigeria into a paradise and they strongly believe that you are the only trustworthy politician who will guarantee Sharia Laws in Nigeria. They believe that Hausa Fulani Muslims constitute 80% of Nigerian population and because of this mindset, they conclude that you must win in any election even if nobody votes for you in other parts of the country. Unfortunately Sir, you also believe that you are so popular that no Nigerian politician can defeat you in a free and fair election, hence, your penchant to condemn any election as being rigged whenever you do not win. Sir, the truth is, most non-Hausa Fulani/Kanuri Nigerians do not want you as their leader for whatever reason.

6. Judging from your antecedent Sir, election is only free, fair and credible when you win. You emerged as a presidential candidate in 2003, 2007 and 2011 through consensus arrangement. You want APC’s presidential candidate, preferably you, to emerge through consensus. Now, Hausa Fulani pressure groups such as ACF and NEF have sprung into action to cause Tambuwal, Atiku and Kwankwaso to step down for you. As for Sam Nda-Isaiah, since he is not a Hausa Fulani Muslim, ACF and NEF do not consider it worthy to even approach him to step down for you. Sir, if you are as popular as you believe, please go through indirect primary election with the rest presidential aspirants, stop begging Senator Tinubu to anoint you APC’s presidential candidate and withdraw your ‘attack dogs’ from further intimidating other presidential aspirants to step down for you.

7. Sir, you are reputed to be an incorruptible retired General with impeccable integrity. These two qualities had been your unique selling points amongst politicians, but two decisions you took of recent have cast doubt on them. In 2011 you promised that you would never contest for elective office again and sealed it with a rich dose of tears. Last month in Abuja, you dishonored that promise because according to you, many Nigerians begged you to come and ‘rescue the nation’. You said a delegation from Niger state and another one from Kano state came to beg you. Sir, can you also mention any delegation that begged you from any non-Hausa Fulani state, none for sure. Recently, you said Mallam El Rufai was the one who prevailed on you to change your mind. You described him as ‘ a kind of person that will respect you if you respect yourself and if you don’t respect yourself, he will help you go down the drain.’ Sir. when he insulted you and described you as a ‘perpetually unelectable ‘ person in 2010, was it because you did not respect yourself? Sir, it seems you have embraced doublespeak as a tool in your political career, so, under what circumstance will it be advisable for Nigerians to believe anything you say again?

8. Sir, as if the self-mutilation of your much trumpeted ‘impeccable integrity’ was not enough, you told Nigerians how you got a loan of N27.5 million on a ‘man know man basis’ from a Bank in Kaduna by telephone call in less than 12 hours without a collateral to buy APC nomination forms. Sir, these are your words ‘ N27.5 million is a big sum, thankfully I have a personal relationship with the manager of my bank in Kaduna and early this morning, I put an early call, I told him that very soon the forms are coming so, whether I am on red or green or even black, please honour it, otherwise I may lose the nomination’. Sir, please, ignore your ‘praise singers and attack dogs’ but enlist the services of lawyers who will be sincere and bold enough to explain the full weight of this transaction to you. Every aspect of this transaction is corruption personified. If you are this poor, whether you win or not, how do you intend to repay the loan? How will you fund your campaigns? Is it the right thing for a poor person to borrow N27.5 million from a bank without collateral and invest the whole money in gambling [politics]? Sir, a lot of questions begging for answers. In a society where politicians respect themselves and do not see election as a do or die issue, the least you ought to have done since, is to return people’s money [N27.5m] to the owners [the Bank], apologize to Nigerians and withdraw from partisan politics. But here in Nigeria, anything goes, especially when one’s ability to reason objectively is irretrievably impaired by ‘born-to-rule’ syndrome and chronic desperation.

9. Sir, no person or delegation prevailed on you to change your mind and re-contest in 2015 but the following reasons. The first is the massive movement of Hausa Fulani Muslims to southern Nigeria to register and vote for you in 2015. With this, you hope to secure the mandatory 25% of total votes cast in each of the 17 states in southern Nigeria. The current widespread confusion associated with PVCs distribution and registration of new voters in southern Nigeria is purposely engineered by INEC to accommodate this plan. The second is the plan by Professor Attahiru Jega to create 21,615 Polling Units for the north as against only 8,412 Polling Units for the south. Though Professor Jega had reluctantly suspended this plan which he designed to give you undeserved 10,807,500 votes, he had opted for Plan ‘B’ which is to replace commissioners in the south with those in the north in order to manipulate 2015 presidential elections in your favour. The third is Senator Tinubu’s promise to deliver Yoruba votes to APC in 2015. You believe this because Senator Tinubu had already demonstrated his willingness to repeat the mistake of Aare Ona Kakanfo Afonja of Oyo Empire who collaborated with itinerant Fulani charm maker, Alimi in 19th century to ‘donate’ Ilorin to itinerant Fulani herdsmen. Because of above reasons, you concluded that your chance to emerge victorious in any presidential election had never been so bright, hence, you prevailed on yourself to dishonor your promise and re-contest in 2015.

10. Sir, you are one of a few Nigerians who had been blessed by Allah/God, even to a fault. You have been a General Officer Commanding, Military Governor, Federal Commissioner of NNPC, Head of State and C-in-C of Federal Republic of Nigeria and Chairman of PTF just to mention a few. At a ripe age of 72, what do you want again from Allah/God? In 2011, ten [10] youth coppers were among hundreds of innocent non-Hausa Fulani/Kanuri Nigerians slaughtered by your supporters in northern Nigeria even before INEC announced the results of the presidential election. As if that is not bloody and despicable enough, you have promised to soak non-Hausa Fulani/Kanuri Nigerians whom you prefer to call ‘dogs and baboons’ in blood if you lose presidential election in 2015. If one may ask, after butchering these Nigerians you call ‘dogs and baboons’ in 2015, what next? Sir, you may be ‘untouchable’ with millions of human robots [almajiri supporters] at your command to do whatever you like here on earth, but note that one day, you will stand before your creator [Allah/God] alone for judgement.

11. People of Niger Delta believe that you are amongst core north politicians who sponsor Boko Haram terrorists and Fulani herdsmen to destabilize Jonathan’s administration. Consequently, if you win in 2015, they will also make your government ungovernable by disrupting oil and gas production throughout the period of your government. Due to non availability of funds, it will be difficult for governments at all levels to function. Funding for security forces will be considerably reduced thereby weakening their capacity and commitment to fight Boko Haram terrorists, Fulani herdsmen and militants in the creeks of Niger Delta. The environment so created will be conducive for Boko Haram terrorists to easily achieve their aim of establishing a Caliphate at least in north eastern states. The center will be too weak to enforce laws and order thereby encouraging ‘self help’ and gradual but sustained disintegration of the nation. Sir, with the same zeal that galvanizes you to continuously re-contest, please do use it to arrange for alternative sources of revenue because it will never be business as usual as far as oil and gas revenue is concerned, or else be prepared to go down in history as a Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachov of Nigeria.

12. And if you lose the presidential election in 2015, there will be serious problems also but unlike in 2011, you now have a reliable partner, Senator Tinubu in SWGZ. While you pledged to soak ‘dogs and baboons’ in blood in the north if you lose next year’s presidential election, your partner, Senator Tinubu equally promised to roast Nigerians alive in the south if APC does not win next year. Since both of you had never accepted defeat in any election however credible it may be, the country is most likely to go up in flames if you lose the presidential election. However, both of you have nothing to lose if that happens because each of you is above 60 years old. Secondly, while Tinubu can easily flee with his family in his private jet to ‘Toronto’, you also can evacuate your family to Sudan in your bullet proof jeeps. But Sir, as you orchestrate destruction of lives and properties of non-Hausa Fulani/Kanuri Nigerians in Hausa Fulani controlled parts of northern Nigeria, note that there are millions of innocent, hardworking, peace loving Hausa Fulani/Kanuri Nigerians living in the rest parts of Nigeria, because this time around, there may be disproportionate and uncontrolled reprisal attacks.

13. Sir, whether you win or not, your participation as a presidential candidate in 2015 will unleash unprecedented disaster on this nation. Please step aside for the sake of unity and survival of Nigeria. Anoint and give your total support to any northerner of your choice for the job. But Sir, if you decide to listen to the El Rufais whose primary aim is to use your popularity to achieve their political ambitions, you will definitely dismiss this suggestion and even the advise earlier given to you by the revered Sheik Gumi as arrant nonsense. May Allah/God grant our leaders the grace to conduct themselves as leaders.

children of nowadays alway insulting their seniors

Old fool

Lmfao senior men were turned into agbero`s by Jonathan can you imagine

Marvin67:
I will never commend an act of indiscipline. What is wrong is wrong. Two wrongs can't make one right. Those reps showed a great deal of indiscipline to the world, and I wonder why people commend them. The police was also wrong in their act and I feel the IG of police should be questioned (David Mark has already summoned him).
Howcome no one is considering that the senate president was also delayed by the police for about an hour before he was eventually allowed in? Howcome some people fail to realise that the reps shut out were both from the pdp and apc? Will the pdp shut out it's own members if it had plans to impeach Tambuwal on that day? Is it right for members of the house of reps to shout at, abuse, and even assault the Senate president ?
My fellow nairalanders, don't allow party affiliation cloud our sense of judgement. Let's judge based on facts. The police was wrong, the lawmakers were wrong, and we can't say it was an order from the presidency because there are no facts backing that.

You need a lesson will rather transport you to a state in South west.

Any where u are be it Lagos, London, US, Kano, Owerri,Jos etc get your acts to Lagos first. Proceed to Ibadan through Lagos Ibadan Expressway. Then to Ikire then Ife bye-pass then Ilesha then Iloko ijesha then to Ijebu-Ijesha then to Esa-oke then to Efon Alaye all to Ado Ekiti. Go ask how 7 HOR members impeached a sitting speaker. The same was deterred by that action you watched in that clip.

Cheers

Nigeria will flourish again.

ogb5:
Really crazy scenes. The police were really good at keeping their cool.

Keeping their cool?. They illegally prevented our elected reps from doing their jobs and you say they kept their cool.
Did it occur to you their mission was illegal locking up the gates to our legislative chambers.

The policemen in charge of that gate should be taken to the guard room.
Is this how they would respond if Boko Haram or any other intruders try to breach the National Assembly?
Do they know if any of the motley crowd is a suicide bomber?

All Nigerians ought to be appalled at the lackadaisical response to the rowdy thugs at the gate!

The police ought to have tear gassed the rowdy crowd once they started shaking the gate.
Who opened the pedestrian gate?
I expect a more robust response from security officials guarding a perimeter.

This is interesting

bokoslayer:
Now tell me, how are these APC dis-honourables different from motor park touts.
The dude calling somebody a small boy and throwing tantrums is Hon Rotimi Makinde from Osun State.

GEJ was right when he said the southwest should not be left in the hands of rascals. Rotimi Makinde is a perfect example.

Whoever u are, you must be stupid not to know when d rights of NAS is being violated
De HOnorables did d right thing! GEJ shld resign ! He can not protect naija people!

Lets set party politics aside, This is very uncivilized, barbaric, very embarrassing and a very low point for Nigeria watching actions of a man that considers himself fit to stand to be elected as the leader of a country. His advisers and party (APC) should have informed him that this is a behavior of a thug and shows no morals, taking matter into his hands, it is bad leadership for so called speaker of the house.

The police in my opinion exercised too much patience, they should all have been arrested and charged for such act.

Shame on APC. They can not win votes in any civilized society with such lawlessness. These people are worse than animals to descend to such low. It is common sense, when you switch to an opposition party, you are no longer speaker of the house. Speaker of the house and Leader of Senate are positions occupied by the majority government.
One thing is clear, these people don't even understand the political system they practice yet they want to lead a country.

BiHung:
Wait...you mean the police force released a video that further implicates them? Showing how they snubbed the number 4 citizen? I am shocked

Show's you how bad and stinky the law enforcement institutions are and how sadly they have bastardized them from top to bottom..

To make matters worse, one president is sitting somewhere feeling comfortable with this monumental disgrace under his watch and the folks involved from the IG to the Police commission are still on the job and not fired....but of course, we are talking about Jonathan Mr stealing is not corruption..

bokoslayer:

GEJ was right when he said the southwest should not be left in the hands of rascals. Rotimi Makinde is a perfect example.

N what does that make of the president himself that decided to go out of the way of the law to send policemen to lock up the NASS just because he can?

Funny enough, the Nigerian law enforcement gets intelligence about impending problems only when it comes to doing dirt against Nigerians and never when it comes to Boko Haram.

Even let's agree with their idiotic rational for a second. Why not let the speaker in after identifying himself?

GEJ is a daft cretin. He obviously tried to lock Tambuwal out so he can be impeached. His idiotic advisors need to tell him that type of hooliganism won't work at the Federal level

duni04:

In truth jonathan was out of the country when it happened. Even if Jonathan was around I don't think he would have had the liver to give that kind of order to the police. Someone took advantage of his absence and ordered the police to wreck havoc at the NASS complex on Thursday. I suspect mama peace or the Vice President.

it was a deliberate plan for Jonathan to be out of the country so that it won't be like he ordered the police. we are not fooled by this because Jonathan absence from the country doesn't mean he cannot give orders anywhere anywhere I'm the world because he does not carry machineries of Government with him

The script was written and planned before he travelled.

yemaldo:
they want to kill our law makers the way they killed nzeribe,with tear gas

So Nzeribe is dead, who killed him with tear gas? Please tell us.

Your argument is plausible. It was the same trick OBJ played during his 2nd term. The abduction of then Governor Ngige, and the infamous 3-day mayhem unleashed by thugs on Anambra govt buildings in November 2004; both occurred whilst OBJ was out of the country.

Marvin67:


Very good answer. You have just provided an answer. The president CAN authorise the IGP to carry out a duty. Now let me interpret that, please correct me, if I'm wrong( I love to learn). The president has powers to authorise the IGP, but the IGP can also send his troops to wherever he feels there's likely to be trouble with or without the knowledge of the president that's all I'm saying.

My point now is the IGP sent his boys to lock up the NASS, which I consider absolutely wrong. But did he get that order from the Mr President? Maybe yes, maybe No, that's something I can't say. All we can do is make guesses.

Whether or not the President sent him, he will pay for his actions alone. He should learn from Joseph Mbu.

bamosagie:


So Nzeribe is dead, who killed him with tear gas? Please tell us.

He meant Chuba Okadigbo.

And can you image the last lawmaker asking what the Senate president is doing in their chamber? Is there a law against that? And "THIER" chamber?! Last time I checked, they were the MINORITY.

If you don't know what to say, shut your mouth. The honourable who assaulted David Mark is a member of PDP from Niger State.

These house members are simply lawless and shameless. They are nothing but empty vessels, simply to adhere to what the constitution says ,they will not, instead they will blame the president who is enjoying himself with the oyel moni in UK.

The Nigerian police once again failed in its duty as the nations law enforcers. They should not have allowed Tambuwal to enter the house, since he is no longer a member of the house.

Genius100:
GEJ is a daft cretin. He obviously tried to lock Tambuwal out so he can be impeached. His idiotic advisors need to tell him that type of hooliganism won't work at the Federal level

Go and peruse the constitution, before making your comment, for your information Tambuwal is now an ordinary citizen, he is no longer a member of the house.

jona is a nice person but his is a president.if jona remains der people we die of hunger.cus he dose not have power of him self.i preffer GMB to b elected president.cus jona problem is edwin clark.jona is just der and dose not have power of his own has president.just been control by set of people.vote wisely to look at sentiment.

Obiagelli:

There are pdp members among them and i am proud of their actions

u mean u will be proud watching ur father or uncle display this level of thuggery and rascality on national TV, no matter d provocation??
Mehn!! it really showed the kind of upbringing that u have.
m

drnoel:


Its only in Nigeria that one would doggedly stay in a position that will be the death of him. Tumbuwal has a court order that says he should vacate his sit. Why is he trying to go to the house to preside over the house when he is no more the speaker. The guy knows himself he shouldnt be there, that was why he smartly refused to identify himself as the speaker. So what is he doing there?

I can see that u're not alright, if David Mark himself can still addressed Tambuwal as speaker of house of rep, whole d Hell can say his not
