Thank God for his arrest, if not it will be on our hypocritical news reporter that it was Fulani herds men or Book haram or linking it to Muslim. Here is a pastor bombing his own Church

How many senators follow him come?Where is Mr.Dino

Each time you feel like complaining that the Economy is bad.......remember Dasuki took $2.1 billion from CBN's vault and created a major crack in that Economy.
Everytime you want to wail that the economy is in shambles.....remember Dokpesi collected N2.1billion from our common wealth.
Each time you feel like complaining that people are losing their jobs on a daily basis, remember the N4.6billion collected for Spiritual purposes(still can't get over that) contributed to worsening our lot as a country.
Whenever you want to insult Buhari that nothing is working , remember Odili collected N100M for what purpose we don't know yet and that money can build a major factory
At a time you would want to say Buhari hasn't achieved anything yet, remember Bode "Tewonde" George took N100M and up until now, he hasn't account for it......that money ensured our economy was torn apart the more.
On days you believe you should abuse the CHANGE mantra, make sure you remember Dasuki said he was asked to distribute N10billion to everyone from kitchen cabinet to organisations to ensure your hero won the election.....that amount further depleted our National wealth......
Buhari met an almost irredeemable Economy and alongside his VP, they are trying to clean up the mess......
Some people's Fathers,Husbands, Children, Cousins and Nephews were sent to the battle front to go and die at the expense of their re-election bid.......
How CALLOUS was your hero? They watched people die like chicken and even had the guts to charge the brave soldiers with mutiny.........
If Jonathan still remains your hero after these few confessions, then you are more callous than he is.......and I have NO iota of respect for you!!!

But i'm suprising now because his lair(lawyer) denied this earlier.What a failed nation!

I married an 18 year old adult to "strengthen long historical bonds". - Emir of Kano Lamido Sanusi

I am sure NC members all have their views and have kept quiet out of (appropriate) deference to our right to make our individual choice. Obviously I do not need to explain anything to anyone in a purely personal matter but a few points are worthy of note:

The lady in question is 18 and therefore legally of age to marry under all laws and certainly under Muslim law.
She is proceeding for her undergraduate education in the UK in January. She had an A in computer science in her O levels and plans to get a degree in computer science.

3. Each and every one of my wives is a university graduate and some have worked and then stopped and in each case the choice was purely theirs.
It is a tradition in Kano that emirs and princes in choosing wives consider issues beyond the individual. The family is in every sense a social unit. My predecessor was married to princesses from Ilorin, Katsina and Sokoto.
5. The relationship between the late Lamido of Adamawa Aliyu Musdafa the father of the current Lamido is well known. Lamido Aliyu was the first emir turbaned after emir Sanusi I and they remained close until Sanusi’s death.

My own relationship with the current Lamido dates back to 1981 when he was Ciroma and commissioner for works. By the way the Lamido and I are not illiterates we know what we are doing and he does have a PhD in Engineering.
My own mother was married in Adamawa and lived there for more than two decades and I have eight younger brothers and sisters from there.
8. It is therefore natural that if I choose to marry from another kingdom Adamawa would be the first choice for me and I am extremely happy to strengthen these long historical bonds.
The young lady in question gave her free consent and even after the contract the wedding will not happen for a few years. By then she may be 21. If she freely consents to this I do not know on what moral grounds anyone has a grouse. She is an adult, she gave her consent, and her education is not being in anyway interrupted.

The real issue is that people do not accept cultural difference. And you can see it in the approach to these issues. I am supposed to be urbane and western educated. Yes but I am not European. I am a northern Nigerian Fulani Muslim brought up in a setting exactly like the one my children are being brought up in.
If you read this and it improves your understanding of this issue that is fine. If it does not just remember it is not your life, it is not your daughter and you are not my wife therefore it is not your business.

I obviously cannot stoop to the level of responding publicly to these kinds of articles. I have always been an advocate of girls marrying after maturing. I personally like the minimum age of 18 even though I understand those who say 16 is fine and indeed this is the law in most so called advanced countries.
Is this something that I expect a European or western trained or feminist mind to appreciate or endorse? Not at all. But has any American been bothered about my views on men marrying men or women marrying women who frankly I find primitive and bestial? No and my views do not matter. These are cultural issues.

Even in Nigeria I have heard all this stuff as in Pius article about “north” and northerners. Again it is a failure to respect difference. There are parts of this country where parents expect their daughters to live with their boyfriends for years and actually get pregnant before they marry. It has become culture. We do not have that in the north and if your daughter gets pregnant before marriage she brings nothing but shame to the name. But we do not issue condemnations. We agree that this is how they choose to live. And I can give many other examples.

When people use the term libido they do themselves injustice. First of all it shows how they view women and marriage. Women are nothing but the object of sexual desire. Marriage is nothing but sexual gratification. Well I am sorry but in my tradition it is not. Beauty and attraction rank third after religion and lineage in the choice of a wife.
They see an 18 year old young lady. I see a princess of noble birth whose mother is also a princess, and who has been brought up in a good Muslim home. This is the kind of woman that is prepared for giving birth to princes and bringing them up for the role expected of them in society.

Marriage is both social and political. Expanding the links of Kano which have already been established by my predecessors through inter-marriage with Katsina, Sokoto, Ilorin, Katagum, Ningi, Bauchi etc to Adamawa is an important and significant step and this is obvious to anyone with a sense of how royal families work and Ibn Khaldun’s sociological concept of Asabiyyah.
When the Emir of Kano marries it has to be something beyond what he personally desires to what is appropriate for that position and the expectations of the people he represents. You don’t just pick up any girl on the street. And by the way, for those who shout libido, sex is cheap and available everywhere in all shapes and sizes and all colours if that is what they want. And all ages too. Marriage is a very different proposition. The mother of your children has to be something other than, not at least much more than a mere object of sexual fantasy. But if you do not know that you need to buy yourself a brain.

I have daughters. And they know they can only marry from certain backgrounds. I always prefer family. When my daughter wanted to marry Mouftah Baba Ahmed’s son and she asked me, knowing my views on family, I told her Mouftah is family. And this is not about me and Mouftah or me an Hakeem or Nafiu. No. It goes back to Baba Ahmed and Emirs Sanusi and Bayero. And the same rule applies to my sons. And it applied to me as well.
It is, I am sure, very strange that I should even bother to comment on this. But it would be hypocritical for me to just keep quiet so long as these things are being posted and commented upon explicitly or in a snide manner. There was no secrecy in the marriage fatiha. The date was fixed and it was to be done in the central mosque after Friday prayers.
The day before we had a tragedy in Saudi Arabia and decided the fatiha must be very low key as a mark of respect for the dead. All traditional rulers in Adamawa were there, as were governors and commissioners, members of my own emirate council and Adamawa people. There is nothing here to hide or be apologetic about.
The emirs of Adamawa have shown love to my parents and grandparents and it is a sign of my appreciation of their love that i marry their daughter. This is the highest statement of friendship and loyalty on both sides.

Again if you understand this this is fine. If you do not, buy yourself a brain, A la Pius.

In any event this is my one and final and only comment on this. And I am making it out of respect for NC members.
MSII (Emir of Kano)

If one gets it well in the rearing of animal(cow,sheep,goat etc),then it very sure he will be able to get it right when it comes to human beings(Nigerian) because Almghty Allah knows why He assigned rearing of animals to some prophets before their prophethood.

I'm so delighted,congratulations to the man.He really worth it.

So,the pdp can still do this to herself, because this was what the party majorly did in pre-election era.Anyway i sit down dey watch.

NDIC moves to recover N34m debt from Okupe

The Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation has asked a Federal High Court in Lagos to place on the “undefended list” a suit it filed to recover an alleged debt of N34m from the Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan, on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, and two others.
Okupe’s co-respondents in the suit filed by the NDIC before Justice Saliu Saidu are Value Trust Investment Limited and its Director, Mr. Ray Ahazie.
The corporation had instituted the action to recover the alleged debt, being the outstanding of a loan facility obtained by the respondents from Gulf Bank Plc in October 2,000.
The corporation, in a statement of claim by its lawyer, Dr. Abiodun Layonu (SAN), said the respondents obtained the loan from the bank to facilitate a contract to supply the Bayelsa State Government with 10,000 metric tons of imported rice.
It however stated that though the said rice was successfully imported into the country on December 28, 2000, the ship was unable to berth at the Apapa Port in Lagos until January 3, 2001 because the port was congested.
The corporation stated further that when the ship arrived at Port Harcourt on July 26, 2001, an unpaid agency fee in the sum of $155,000 prevented it from berthing.
According to the NDIC, the said delay in the delivery of the rice bags led to some becoming caked and some becoming stained.
Bayelsa State Government was said to have refused to take delivery of the rice, following which Gulf Bank was forced to commence an open market sale of the goods and in the process, discovered that a good number of the rice bags were spoilt.
The bank said at the end of the sale, it was able to recoup only N454,574,150 of the loan advanced to the defendants, leaving an outstanding sum of N70,425,850.
The outstanding sum was said to have been attracting interest since 2001.
The matter was said to have been referred to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in September 2005, where the sum of N196,642, 996 of the debt with interest was waived, leaving only an outstanding of N44m.
The NDIC however claimed that following the waiver, the defendants were able to pay only N10m out of the N44m, bringing the debt down to N34m.
But since then the defendants were said to have allegedly abandoned the debt or refused to liquidate it.
NDIC, in its suit before the Federal High Court, is seeking to reclaim the indebted sum with 21 per cent interest per annum till it would be finally liquidated.
The corporation also wants the court to put the cost of instituting the legal action on the defendants.
At the resumed hearing of the case before Justice Saidu, counsel for the NDIC, Mr. Oburume Ayeteno, informed the court that the corporation had filed an application to place the suit on the undefended list, adding that he was ready to argue same.
In response, however, Okupe’s lawyer, Mr. Yemi Gbonegun, said he had already filed a statement of defence to the claims.
The document was however not found in the court’s records following which Gbonegun sought for an adjournment to be able to re-file it.
The court consequently adjourned further proceedings till July 8.

This old man called Doying had gotten it wrong for long becos.all the names:Omololu Olulonyo,PA Ricjard Akinjide &Gen.Adebayo are one way or the order PDP sympathisers.Moreso,they are not vibrant or sessional politicians,that the S.W needs this time.

This video clip should hve bn sent to EFCC& ICPC since all these days if the propagator is sincere wt it.Why is keeping it till now,that means the propagator is one of the enemy of progress of this country.The propagator should be charged to court by Nigerians for hidding such information for long and failure to expose it,it is a great inhuman to human on d earth and the propagator had done a great injustice to the motherland and he shall be punished for that by the creator.

@Cindicandy,always try to do some findings on National issues before taking it personal.I the GOD u are worshiping should jugde u according to ur intention.

The FG is working under GEJ.Igbo ppl see ur life and u are still dancing for GEJ second time.If NOW YOUR SUFERING CONTINUES(NYSC)

Mr.Fayose was just trying to divert the attention of Nigerians from EKITIGATE ELECTION FRAUD COMMITTED.U CAN SEE MY PPLE were so happy when this man was busy technically using media and noise to cover up the election fraud committed against the Ekiti pple,instead of shouting him down and advise him to prove his innocence in the election fraud perpetrated but hailing him as the man of the day.oooooo! Nigeria,is still in one place.Who dare try that in a developed country where the know what they are doing.The video clip which he addimmetted is there,we are still praising by abandon his state official duty but sniff thru nooks and cranies of Nigeria like AUSASIAN DOG.This man has nothing to offer that State,this gossip is what he knows how to do best.

Our GOVT.AND THE military have had enough of our resources by corruption through BH,now they are fighting BH,where do they put their heads,brain and d military tacts before?Now who is deceiving who? ALERT!!!! if GEJ knows BH can be disarmed in SIX WEEKS,WHY DID HE WAITED SO LONG TO ACT.HMMMMM,this is just a deceit,the fools among us are now shouting GEJ is working,having wasted the lifes of innocent cetencenry under his guide as a sitting president.CHAI!CHAI!!CHAI!!! THE BLOOD U ARE SHARING! GOD DEY AND HE DEY SEE UNA.

NEWS ALERT: I Will Maintain a modest lifestyle as President- Buhari. "One of the major killer of our economy apart from corruption is waste. Our scarce resources are being plunder away very carelessly and unnecessarily wasted. Let me give an instance, presently, there are more than 6 aircraft in the presidential fleet. What do you call that? Billions of naira is budgeted every year for the maintenance of these aircraft not to talk of operational cost and other expenses. You may want to ask what a Nigerian President is doing with so much aircraft when a Prime Minister of Britain fly around using the same public aircraft like an ordinary Briton. Go and check and compare with that of any developed country in the world, the office of the Nigerian President is a very expensive one inspite our high level of poverty, lack and joblessness. Despite all these, you still find a Nigerian Minister spending about N10billion to charter an aircraft for just one year. Now, for me, when we come into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channelled into our economy. We intend for instance, bring back our National carrier, The Nigerian away. We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian airway and within a year increase the fleet into about 20. What is the difference between me and those who elected us to represnt them, absolutely nothing. Why should Nigerian President not fly with other Nigerian public. Why do I need to embark on a foreign trip as a president with a huge crowd with public fund. Why do I need to go for foreign medical trip if we cannot make our hospital functional. Why do we need to send our children to school abroad if we cannot developed our university to compete with the foreign ones. Why, and why must our people be servants to the foreigners in the midst of plenty. I can go on and on. I came here in the UK and I chose to trek just to make sure I sent a message back home to some people who wish us dead. This is not my struggle, it is our collective efforts to save Nigeria from those who have failed us for 16 years."

Is it the picture or NYSC or Certificates would bring us GOOD ROADS NETWORK,GOOD HEALTH FACILITIES,UNINTERUPTABLE POWER SUPPLY,FOOD ON OUR TSBLE E.TC......D man should have used his so many degrees to solve some of the problems but prove wrong.So,what is the meaning of all big big big book he read and all certoficates obtained without application,this is just a mere paper.So,it is better we try another person without all these meaningless degree and see if we can hv differences.Meanwhile intelligence,experiences couple with education could work in ruling Nigeria,meanwhile,having big big big degrees/certificate is not what edication means.

This madam was trying to defend her pay master(GEJ)but unfurtunately find it difficult to convinced us on that issue of curruption.because.all of them at the top are currupt

CONNMY should just approach court and fill a suit of billions of Naira against the AIT,so as to vomit out of billions of naira collected for the act,instead of druming violence.I see us not having law at all excpet ink on a paper,if not what is NBC doing on this?Their attention had bn called to this but kept mute.Infact,Nigeria is A FAILED STATE WHERE NOTHING WORKS.

hmmmmm!that reminds me of a Yoruba adage"Ile ti afito mo iri ni yoo wo''i.e the house built with saliva na ordinary snow go pull am down.This is the consequence of their deeds and it is just the beginning.Is it not these so called children of theirs they are keeping Nigeria resources for,God of Nemecy don dey catch up wt them.

Na wa for this our country leader,this GEJ Madam again,all the money wey she don embezzeld na rice she dey used am dey share for hungry Nigerians.They don poverised Nigerians,turn Nigerians to beggers of rice.Hey !hey!! hey!!! chaiiii God dey in this our money u dey use to share rice.

Pls.where can i get my own share i beg?

PLS.WHERE AND HOW DO I COLLECT MY OWN SHARE OF THE PHONE.SO AS TO DO AWAY WITH MY PALASA
