Redoil:
Clown how far? The SHARP goons in PDP are teaching you people how to do politics and you are here sweating.

omenka:
Whichever way they chose to play it is up to them, but they should, for their own good, not feature ethnicity and religion. A rude awakening await them if they do.

nortcentrallord:


What happened is CHANGE. And that is what you and many Nigerians stood for. Let our lives be an example of what we preach.
SAI CHANGE DOLE.

mandhi:

At least let it be with fairness, not what we have been seeing in PDP since the last 16years.

nortcentrallord:



It will never happen with fairness just like apc would have never unsat pdp without propaganda and the media. Life is not fair. So far the outcome favors Nigerians, it is fair.

omenka:
Good evening all.

This thread isn't created to spite any one or any people. It is just a wake up call to majority Nigerians, who happen to be very poor at remembering events of history and how they are meant to shape our thought processes and indeed orientation.

Now, very interesting events happened in the last 24 hours in our National Legislative Chambers. Both chambers were inaugurated and their leadership elected. APC being the dominant party clinched the top spots in both chambers, but as we all know, PDP and her supporters seem to be the most jubilant party over the outcome of the elections, why, one might be tempted to ask.

In the run up to the general elections, Saraki whom PDP supported doggedly in the just concluded NASS election, was hounded by the same party, threatened with all manner of sanctions that eventually culminated in his exit from the party. His rift with the party (PDP) and the presidency back then, began with his blowing the lid on what has come to be known as the biggest heist in the nation's history- the Subsidy Scam- which ran into tens of billions of dollars. He was buffeted from all sides with all manner of allegations and barely survived having himself locked up in jail. He eventually found a sanctuary in the opposition, now the ruling party.

Now, inexplicably, the same party that threw everything but the kitchen sink at this recalcitrant and rebellious congressman sees him as a valiant, their knight in shining armour. Wonders huh? Well they voted for him in the absence of half of the members of the Senate as the Senate president, case closed., and for what?- just to spite the opposition, maybe, and to have their man as the Deputy.

In the Green Chamber, Dagora emerged the Speaker. I know quite little about him, but nevertheless, that is immaterial to the crux of this piece.

Here's what my problem is: during the electioneering campaigns, Nigerians/electorates were subjected to all manner of divisive and potentially catastrophic propaganda from the PDP. To mention a few, we saw things like-

1. Buhari is too old to be a leader.

2. Buhari is a terrorist sponsor.

3. Buhari has fossilised ideas and cannot lead a 21st century country effectively.

4. Buhari has prostate cancer and might die soon.

5. Buhari's candidacy is a product Northern conspiracy for National domination.

6. Buhari is "tribalistic".

7. The Northerners suffer from a "Born to Rule Syndrome".

8. APC is a party akin to the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. It is dominated by Muslims and Northerners.

And others too numerous to mention.

Numbers 5-8 are my major concern.

Most of the points listed above were propagated and hammered on by same people who are jubilant over the emergence of Dagora and Saraki as Speaker HoR and Senate President respectively. Dagora is a Northerner, Saraki is from North Central (includes christian dominated states such as Taraba, plateau, Benue, but when the time comes, PDP will call him a "Northerner", and when you say "North", everyone thinks "Islam/Muslim). It is necessary putting this in writing because a time will come, perhaps in 2019, when PDP would want to replay that ethnic, religious, and regional cards which appears to be the only ammo in their arsenal- polarise Nigerians along these lines, have them vote based on these sentiments, and see to your retention in office!

Now, the situation we have at present shows Three of the Top Four Positions are occupied by "Northerners" but PDP is happy about it and apparently has no qualms whatsoever with the arrangement.

I have always been against all that North, South, East, West, Muslim, Christian, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo politicking. It has never and will never be the panacea to Nigeria's innumerable problems. Have always been pro Nigeria and would always support whoever it is that gets into an office as far as their competence isn't in doubt.

Without the support of PDP, what happened today wouldn't have happened, so we would hold them to account when the time comes, and remind them of their lofty stance at this time.

The events of today should effectively put to rest all that ethnoreligious politicking that PDP is known for.

We look forward to a very productive National Assembly.

Congrats to Saraki.

Congrats to Dagora.


God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

...Lol many ppl are suffering from INVISIBLE IGNORANCE......this is restitution era for all these so-called leaders to redeem themselves or perish while trying to commit more harm to this nation...whts gonna be is gonna be irrespective of wht anyone says,sovereign Nigeria will rise again strong and viable in my own generation. THAT IS THE VERDICT, NO MATTER THE RHETORICS THAT PEOPLE ARE PROPAGATING HERE AND THERE, PERIOD.

ndcide:
What I hate about this thread are;

1, Omenka still thinks APC is in a way Better that PDP. This is sickening.

2, Omenka saw nothing wrong when Saraki left PDP for APC, But felt sad that Saraki had an alliance with PDP.... what rubbish.

3, Omenka will not have any problem with Saraki being the sole candidate of APC for senate president... The only wrong doing by Saraki, is the PDP support he had...... so shameful.

4, Omenka will not mind a one party APC state because of his blind support for anything APC.... that's too shallow.


I have my reservation about the events of today . However, I support the way it played out in the red chambers. Omenka's view of this issue is myopic...

What makes lawan a better candidate than Saraki?
What's wrong in Saraki's position that the contest should be open to all especially since PDP was not in the contest.
If the issue of Tambulwa was JUST, for the ACN/APC ,why were they afraid that such would repeat itself this time.

Look, PDP is not the problem of Nigeria. Nigerians are the problem.... How? We don't want to tell ourselves the truth.

Any problem that is taking too long to resolve in Nigeria, Just know we somehow, don't want to say the truth about it.


And for Ethnicity in politics, It is real in Nigeria. That people downplay it sometimes just for the sake of peace, or to get some of their desires does not mean it's not an issue..... Is Omenka ignorant of the fact that Buhari's candidacy was hinged on northern quest for central power?

Please don't kill the truth.

Jackrich:
Medicine after death my friend.

Now you can cry me an ocean ,boy.


Buhahahahhaa......By the time these Hausas and Fulanis herdsmen will start their madness in your middle belt states you'll understand the magnitude of your online rants that supported and landed the North in power.

Oya carry biro write 'I am a fool'

Barcanista,firefire,mizmycoli,temitemi1,anonimi, Phockphockman and mogidi you people should come and see a fool at 40, the all knowing Omenka, the smeagol of NL is crying like a girl that missed her period when the fucckery just started .

PDP wanted to play a spoiler, that is just it and nothing else! Even a dumb person can still disobey his party and pull this Coup off! So Nothing Superfluous here!

Had APC supported Saraki, PDP would have voted Lawan

Is just that simple

They just wanted to know who APC supported, so that they can support any 'rebel' that crops up!

Even in an advanced democracy like USA, the power of Nomination of speakers and leaders are done by the Political parties
Only one nomination is presented to whole house for voting!

Let's watch as events unfold!
People bringing Tinubu are just being mischevious

The man has achieved 80% of all he wanted in life.

And history shows that Dogara and Saraki have effectively shut themselves out of APC!
