Who drove the car - the VC or a driver?

If the VC didn't personally drive the car, how will the union prove that the action was deliberate.

kedeojo:
spoiler indeed and he couldn't succeed in ondo state with his full suport for Oke. Why did he rush to congratulate Akeredolu and heap praises on Buhari and even Oyegun cos he knows he might be relegated very soon. You people in south west think he singlehandedly give APC the victory, forgotten of other notable contributors like Ameachi, Saraki whose effort led to decamping of five PDP governors and senators whose state has high voting strenght. Tinubu used AD in Ondo if Oke had won he would have been planning to backout of APC since he already have Lagos and Osun states to his kitty and Oyo may also go to his way and he would have also forged an alliance with Fayose and Mimiko to cross to AD but he failed so he has no choice to quickly send his congratulations. If Oke had won he would have arrived in Nigeria immediately after Inec announcement and would be given a publicise welcome and you will be hearing stuffs like nobody can defeat him in his region. If you think he has d political clout, let him formed a new party and see if he would not be relegated to his region. He is too greedy cos how could you produce d VP, nominated d SGF, Firs boss also, deputy chief of staff and he is not contented with all this position and he also try to install his loyalist as Senate president and speaker. He should know that Nigeria is not Lagos state he had firmed control ever since. As he is to lagos dat is how Saraki is to Kwara and the later could only respect him as a senior not godfather and dat is when he even respect his self, just like other prominent Apc leaders who contributed immensely like him too in their various states. President Buhari remains the national leader of APC as it done cos the highest positioned person became it likewise in state where governors are the leaders there but due to the president humility he allowed him to be called so and that is why Tinibu wanted to over strecthed his boundaries.

Politics is not this simple.

In 2012, Tinubu's candidate (Akeredolu) lost to Mimiko. In 2015, Mimiko as a siting PDP governor couldn't deliver the state to Jonathan as GEJ was dusted by Buhari in ondo state. Two weeks after the presidential election, the same pdp that lost the presidential election in ondo cleared 21 out of 26 house of Assembly seats in the same state. Always remembered that Akeredolu had been with Tinubu longer than with Buhari.

Who would have predicted that Fayose will now be so cosy with Tinubu so much so that it was reported by Thisday that they were exchanging friendly phone conversations to the hearing of other governors. Don't be surprised if Fayose is the arrowhead of Tinubu faction in Ekiti in the lead up to 2019 election.

Contrary to your assertion on SP candidacy, Lawan wasn't Tinubu choice but that of Buhari. Even though that time, Buhari didn't want to show his hand, so Tinubu abandoned his own candidate (akume) to spearhead lawan candidacy on behalf of the party and thus carried the can when the project failed. El-rufai alluded to this fact in his response to Atiku's accusations recently.

Oviconji:
Jimoh Ibrahim is a typical Afonja. He probably did it to get a government contract or to clear some huge debts. They can't be trusted.

When Nzeribe sabotaged his party (sdp) presidential candidate in 1993, he was typical what?

All you these political analysts wannabes wrongly think politicians don't have individual interest to protect.

Akeredolu is from Owo area. What result do you expect?

FSBoperator:
This Afonja was sent by his Fulani masters to cause confusion in peaceful Christian majority Ondo.

But God will never allow any useless YAM enter Governors house in Ondo and Ekiti

For your (and other ignorant fellows) information, Jimoh Ibrahim is a strong Christian

@OP. Regarding the Cons stated for Owerri. What is the effect of indecency and 'women of easy virtue' on property value?

We are not talking of Vatican City or Mecca here now?

shhladyj:
actually nigeria has d longest bridge nd not flyover which is in lagos.

The silver jubilee-kofar nassarawa-Ibrahim Taiwo roads flyover in Kano was reported to be the longest in west Africa until this news report. It is 1.76km long. The second one still under construction on murtala Mohammed road also in kano is 1.9km long.

The length of the one in Accra is not given but definitely wider (6 lanes) than that of Kano. The President called it the highest, but is it higher than Ijora-Apapa flyover?

stagger:
What a sad end. I remember when he scored the unfortunate own goal in the 1984 Sekou Toure Cup (now African Champions League) final second leg in Lagos against Zamalek. One of the two times I cried watching a game (second being that loss to Italy in USA 1994).

RIP!

That year of "Afin ki riran osan, baalu baalu ni tadan". RIP Baba eleeran. RIP Fawole

Almand:
This old woman go just to talk as if nigerians no dey reason or no dey imform. Is this woman aware that money was riased for Obama in this counrty by some group of people but outcry from nigeria prevented them form sending it?

The Obama campaign organization itself denounced the fund raising championed by Okereke (the NSE DG) then as unauthorized and dissociated itself from it

RZArecta:
Grandma has been kicked back to life by nairaland trolls what does she say about the Arabs supporting Hillary Clinton's campaign through funds sent to her foundation ? Are they American citizens too ? Lauretta is a geriatric idíot

Ps; Tell Baba to publish the handover notes Gej gave him. We've been begging for details since last year but it has been kept a secret so why bringing it up now ?

Was there any allegation of Arabs or any foreigners funding her campaign through the Clinton Foundation?

The allegation was that when she was the Secretary of State (a position she quited in 2012 long before her campaign), she was giving those that contributed big to the foundation privileged access to herself as Secretary of State.

richidinho:
Things like that is done in secret, there is nothing like America prohibits bla bla bla

John kerry visited Nigeria he landed in sokoto, fews days later only Northern governors visited America again, may be their ancestors live there

We are wiser now madam!

As Lauretta said, it is good history has been reintroduced as a subject in Nigerian schools.

Kerry didn't land in Sokoto, he landed in Abuja, met with Buhari in Abuja, and as part of his engagement also visited Sokoto.

In his earlier visit in February 2015, Kerry landed in Lagos and restricted all his activities to Lagos. Jonathan as the sitting president then, had to fly from Abuja to Lagos to have a meeting with him.

basilo102:
comments by yorubas on this thread make me laugh. why do they consider hausas as almighty and untouchable?? Why are they not interested in their sister murdered in Abuja and how to get justice

Not a question of untouchability, but lack of discretion. Igbos taking on Hausas in Kano Very soon, Hausas in Onitsha will also be threatening the Igbos there.

Why is he wearing sweater in 30C weather?

OPCNAIRALAND:
There is nothing he can do, absolutely nothing! Even when the passed bill is given to Executive for signature it will not go to his desk. Thats the truth. I do not like his positioning and dismissal attitude that "ooh, its just a private bill, thats all, dont fret!" There's plenty reason to stage a national consciousness drive and bring awareness to people to know what implications this bill have.

Translated narrowly, its nothing much but if given legal backing of the legislature and the executive the judiciary must implement it and if you have Judges in high places who are Sharia sympathisers then we can really end up with its broad translations, which in effect will Islamize Nigeria through the back door.

How easy can you get Sharia synpathisers into the judiciary....ooh, that's the easiest rope to pull in our Judiciary system.

If it is not acceptable to Christians, how and why should it be passed? Muslims do not have 2/3rd majority in both houses of the National Assembly. Also note that it is a constitutional amendment not just ordinary law, which means in addition to National Assembly, 24 states houses of assembly must concur. There are only 19 states in the north including middle belt

Southerners just like shouting inconsequentially just because they have access to social media

Pray, what do you want the VP to do to a private bill presented by a member for consideration at the National Assembly? Even if a Christian were to be the sitting president, what can he do at this stage?

There are 58 senators from the North and not all of them are Muslims. It requires 82 senators, 240 representatives and 24 states houses of Assembly to amend the constitution to make sharia applicable compulsorily throughout the federation. What are Christian legislators you people voted doing for it to be possible? And you are expecting Osinbajo to jump to the National Assembly to fight against a private bill?

Were Ekweremadu, Adeyeye, Akpabio, Olujimi and other Christian principal officers in the Senate sleeping when the bill was scheduled for deliberation?

Instead of you people to hold your so-called representatives in the legislature accountable, you are misplacing aggression.

logicab:
At least your solved the riddle yourself.

By your illogical reasoning, if only a few Supreme Court justices have been accused of corruption, how would the specific bribe for them be paid into a pool account that all other justices and staff have access to?

Oh I got it now, I want to bribe Justice A with N1billion, I pay into Supreme Court joint account and write to the CJN that the money is meant for Justice A. Yet the CJN and other justices are not brought in for corruption

Geniro:
When you see quotes like this you know the DSS have already lost the case. They aren't even certain on their reasons why the judges were raided.

No more talk about travelling to hell to collect bribes in malls, on mountains, in Rivers, in Lakes and on Hills.

edebemba:
Can somebody please clarify me? I am not understanding what is happening again. At first, it was alleged that the monies recovered from the houses of the Judges were bribe money. But now, according to paragraph 10 of this post, 'There is a strong suspicion by the DSS that money recovered from the residences of these Judges were drawn from the suspicious account'. Which one do we believe? Why the media trial when we are not too sure?

At least we have some discerning minds here.

Imagine shooting themselves in the foot. May be they will now claim that bribe monies were first pooled into that account for the judges to share.

OP you tried but some of your historical accounts are not correct.

When naira notes were introduced in 1973, they didn't have portraits of national heros and there was no N20. All have the picture of the old cbn building at Tinubu square.

The first naira note to have a portrait was N20 which was introduced in 1977 with Murtala Mohammed picture. The N1, N5 and N10 notes with portraits were introduced in 1979 and they were not in the colours you posted. Those with the colours you posted were the 1984 version introduced by Buhari/Idiagbon regime when they juxtaposed the naira colours.

What are people commenting here?

The lawyer's clients wrote a petition alleging that the judges (before whom he was pleading their case) had been bribed by opponents without his foreknowledge. The judges took it on him in the open court in the belief that he must have known about the petition. He protested there and followed it up with withdrawal of his services.

What has he done professionally wrong? Don't you think that his clients have complicated his work for him?

loomer:
At least her story end well.

Even though she had already been promoted as a lead actress in the trailer for the series - Sons of the Caliphate on Ebony Life television before her expulsion from Kannywood, I only took note of her when the series eventually started because of the expulsion news.

I think she is good and will go far in Nollywood, and with proper brush-up and mentoring by stars, may break into the Hollywood.

Sadly the dead can't tell dia story.

But nobody died. I thought it was a case of attempted murder

MrHenshaw:
All these bloggers are very funny.B4 won't he return the baby.

You don't get it.

A surgical operation was done on the baby when the pregnancy was about 5 months to remove a tumor. The baby was thereafter returned to the mother's womb who carried the pregnancy to 9 months after which she was delivered by another operation. Thus the baby was technically born twice.

So our National Assembly passed resolutions demanding the release of the 28 Nigerian students based on what?

Don't we have an embassy there to provide verifiable information to our government?

Tyche:
The genesis please?

Be contented with The Revelation

In Nigeria, she would have flown in presidential jet from Lagos to Ibadan, here she is catching Eurostar train from London to Belgium like any other persons.

Why do we so worship people in power in the third world?

This has been in use as commercial transport/tourist bus in Dubai for long.

Okuronmu fought for the political leadership of Yorubas with Tinubu and he was dusted hence the sour grapes

Okuronmu is talking about principle. Between him and Tinubu who has it?

In 2003, he was one of the leaders of AD that sold out to PDP and AD lost all the governorship seats it won in 1999 to PDP except Lagos where Tinubu rebelled. That was the beginning of the downfall of Okuronmu and his afenifere cohorts and the rise of Tinubu

In 2015, Okuronmu professed to still be in AD but because of his closeness with GEJ, he wanted APC members to vote for PDP. Is that a principled person? Of course, PDP members in SW rightly voted for GEJ but it would be a betrayal for Tinubu to have jettisoned his own party candidate for an opposing candidate.

Okuronmu talking bad about Tinubu is not unexpected, afterall how will Chris and Andy Uba speak about Peter Obi.
