₦airaland Forum

Nigeria media has no sense.

majella4:
The Federal Government has assembled 1000-strong military force, comprising the army, air force, police and the civil defence to launch fierce attacks on the bandits terrorising the villages and towns of Zamfara State.

Following directives by President Muhammadu Buhari, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has begun the deployment of fighter aircraft to Katsina, the airport with the closest proximity to Zamfara State to make for immediate and effective response to the menace of the bandits.

This had not been possible in the past because there was no fuel depot facility in Katsina, but NAF has devised a way around the problem.

The President has also authorised the engagement by NAF, of advanced satellite surveillance technology to help in accurate detection of movement and locations of the bandits.

The government had to go to this extent because of the limitations of conventional surveillance, as the use of satellite technology could make the task of NAF less  problematic.

Following directives from the President, at the weekend, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Sadiq Abubakar, was in Gusau where he met the Deputy Governor of the State.

The Chief of Air Staff reiterated the President’s pledge that he would never abandon victims of attacks to their fate, reaffirming that security remains one of the cardinal pillars of his campaign promises and no leader would be happy to see his own citizens killed by criminal groups across the country.

It will be recalled that since his election, the President has kept faith with his promises to re-equip and motivate the country's military and other security services.

The army and other security services are now better equipped and motivated to face the challenges of their responsibilities.

The Presidency, therefore, appeals to all Nigerians to unite and speak with one voice on security issues and urges politicians to stop exploiting national security challenges.

Those praying for the President to fail in this effort can be likened to one stabbing oneself in the heart and celebrating about it.

In this regard, security should not be reduced to petty politics as doing so could only embolden the terrorists and other murderous gangs.

We therefore appeal to members of the Nigerian media to avoid unhelpful and deleterious sensationalism in the coverage of events that border on national security.

The media should under no circumstances make the bandits or terrorists feel like super stars because doing so could hurt all of us.

Terrorists seek to achieve maximum publicity and they do so by launching large scale attacks on soft targets and the media must resist every attempt to play into their hands unwittingly.

Big brother

Development takes time, first we need the infrastructure to drive the development. That is exactly what PMB is doing.

He has my respect.

He even asked civil servants to forget salaries owed as a show of patriotism because the state cannot pay no matter what.

I'm still searching

GoodGovernance:
Saraki in PDP, might return to the senate as ordinary member,definitely not as Senate President

Yea the most appropriate word is "vegetable senator" like D. Mark

ORIENTATION101:
Pdp leaders for desperation of power put lions and tigers in same cage in order to form political heavyweight.

All those hailing the defection re the enemies of pdp .

Kano- kwankaso and shekarau peace deal is dead on arrival if none defect after pdp primary one of the two will sabotage other you cant put two enemies in a room and expect calmness

Benue- pdp scoring own goal with automatic ticket for ortom despite his collosal failures.
Gemade and suswam is the elclassico match to watch out for surely one must loose the senatorial ticket.
Gemade will likely win cos of the conditions for the defectors. Suswam will definetly snatch apc ticket with federal might Gemade is a gooner one spanner loss


Sokoto- tambuwal calculations is more like saraki and dogara the coast is not clear yet .they need to study their political textbooks very well because a wrong move. Will spell doom for their political career especially tambuwal .his Godfather in the senate senator wammako has pledge allegiance to buhari .
2019 tambuwal vs the caliphate


Bauchi- dogara is a gooner either ways. He has been banished in apc both in state and federal level.
Federal govt will conduct a bye election for senate in his constituency we all know the winner already with 3500 policemen on duty and state gov machinery on the move.
Pdp will need 40 days and 40 night prayer and fasting to emerge victory .dogara to pdp will change nothing.being a christain minority apc will likely add religous card to dispose him off anything to sack a betrayal


Kogi- somebody tell dino omo melaye that the man he defeated with sai baba electoral tsunami is back with the sai baba (smart adeyemi).
Election timetable is the advantage kogi gov is waiting to use finally nail stubborn dino cos kogi state will not particpate in general elections .
Dino vs yahaya bello federal forces and smart adeyemi .
Figure out.

Kwara- saraki will definetly retain his position in kwara Godfsther seat but one day monkey go enter market he no go come back the end is near

Well said, PDP is foolish to have chosen Gemade over Suswam if that is true.

Gemade cannot win election on his own, his case and Dino is the same. He won in 2015 because of the Buhari and Apc factor, if they go through the primaries Suswam will win the ticket if he gets the ticket automatically Suswam won't need federal might to defeat him at the polls.

When will people stop referring to Ortom as heavy weight?

He needed a good father to win the first election, the same godfather he said gave him a red card.

I don't know about the other senators that left but Gemade is weightless. He never won an election his entire life before 2015 when he benefitted from the popularity of the APC.

Tambuwa on the other hand is an opportunist, Saraki's influence does not go beyond Kwara. Dino is another weightless politician who also won election because of the good will APC enjoyed.

if the much talked about Ortom's defection has done anything in Benue, it has given APC a life line.

Why do anonymity feature in every newspaper report nowadays? The Nigerian press is bastardise.

Whoever wrote this is high on cheap weed

Odingo1:
Atiku, Markafi, Kwankwaso can pool alot of vote in the north.

These set cannot even win their states...

Oga it is called 3D rendering... Bush man

Requiem for Nigeria Air

For those eager to celebrate the launch of a national carrier, let me warn that the stunt pulled off last week by the federal government through its transportation minister responsible for aviation, Mr. Hadi Sirika, at the Farnborough Airshow in England, was nothing more than a statement of intent. It was a cleverly choreographed political sound bite, complete with photoshopped images of an aircraft depicting Nigerian livery. It was targeted at fooling the public into believing that the administration was sticking to its campaign promise to establish a carrier flying the Nigerian flag.

The reason it is called Inland Dry Port.

Amarabae:
Kaduna that has no major water body has a refinery and now a dry port.
But Onitsha that has a major water body River Niger that connects it with Delta state don't deserve any port.
It's alright.
He that holds a man down holds himself - CHINUA ACHEBE

What a waste of sperm⤵

Sprumbabafather:


Very good, for all you southerners supporting APC federal government, you have been used and dumped, you will now travel north to clear your containers if you like. Keep voting APC, one day you all might need travel to the north first before you eat.

That was the worst stunt ever pulled by a governor, his aids that wrote the script did a very poor job.

Ortom blocked himself just the way Dino Kidnapped and freed himself.

sarrki:
Let the Benue youths blocked the road again and asked him to pay salaries the way the blocked him to decamp to pdp

Since he listened to them

Ortom is bad for any political party. Ortom is the only governor that imposed tax on residential and commercial boreholes.

His departure has given APC a life line to win Benue again.

Limitednow:
“The first is that as you all recall, Gov. Ortom had said the APC in Benue state had given him red card to leave our party and that they would not field him in the forthcoming governorship election in 2019 and because the door had been shut against him, he had no choice than to leave.

“Without going into investigations, we invited him to speak to us on the issues. We also invited our leaders of our party in Benue state to also brief us on what the issues were.

“From the point of view of our leaders in Benue state, their position was clear that they believed that fielding Gov. Ortom on the APC platform in the 2019 election could only lead to electoral defeat for a number of reasons.

“They reminded us that in spite of the allocations accruing to Benue state and in spite of the bail out funds amounting to over N20 billion that they had received in two instalments of N10 billion each and in addition to the huge sums of money that Benue state collected from the Paris Club Refund, Gov. Ortom has not, and is not paying salaries to Benue workers as and when due, including teachers, local government employees and the state civil servants.

.

Diddy just out classed him that's all.

Rossikki:
The state government must ruthlessly crush all dissent to the programme. The interest of the wider society supersedes that of private individuals and businesses.

Lagos needs the ruthless approach of El-Rufai at Abuja

I was sceptical about the completion of this stadium before the championship, I'm glad they could meet up.
This is modest but nice.

Smart bushy hair senator

principal21:
I explained to them that we have different political constituencies, calculations and background.
On his plan ahead of 2019, Mr Sani said he would contest for the senatorial seat again.
But he quickly added: “It’s still open, it depends on the decision of the party. I’m going to contest for the Senate. That is it for now.”

Those that moved out will soon realise they defected to a carcass. I'm glad they moved though

IPOB will say it's Buhari's fault.

Was Shehu Sani part of the delegation?

And he miraculously forgot to name himself.

You have a functional brain and could not detect that the plane used for illustration is not a C-130

logicalhumour:
This craft looks like something that was used during WW1.


Instead of them to hire smart Nigerian scientists and engineers, they go dey retain empty headed (I no wan mention tribe)... Simply because dem pass through dia yeye NDA.

When I saw people celebrating the defection of Gemade who has never won an election without hiding under someones shadow, I confirmed that PDP is a carcass.

Like Ipod Kanu

Is that how easy it is?

Abjay97:
Saraki was arrested this morning, to prevent his defection to PDP with a lot of senators, automatically making them the majority.. The plan was to pass a vote of no confidence on Buhari and Hence, impeach him, but the plan got to Buhari, who now ordered his arrest this morning..

Nigeria is ruled by a dictator. BEWARE!

terfcha:
Orton has completely failed

And he is looking for someone to pin his failure on

antyokya:
is it buhari that will vote for him? Benue speaks with one voice against the hersdmen invasion and not with descrepantic voices o.

Which part of Benue are you from?

Ortom is bad market only IPOB celebrate him

I had suspicion when I saw the massive crowd of supporters at the APC rally.
