One of the few northerners I can trust with presidential position.

.

The acting Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, says his predecessor, Solomon Arase, went away with 24 police vehicles while the seven Deputy Inspectors-General of Police, who retired alongside him, also carted away between seven and eight cars each.

Idris stated that he had written Arase to return the cars, which included two official bullet-proof BMW 7 series cars, adding that the retired police chief and his DIGs had yet to return the vehicles.

The IG, who said this during an interview with journalists on Sunday in Abuja, explained that a special investigation team was already looking at the records of police vehicle purchases in the last three years as well as how they were distributed.
Arase, however, denied the allegations of his successor, saying he didn’t go away with any police vehicle.

The former IG, who spoke to our correspondent on the telephone on Sunday, denied taking away 24 police cars, describing the allegations as a malicious propaganda.

Arase advised Idris to squarely face security issues confronting the country rather than engaging in “media propaganda.”
He said, “What am I going to do with 24 cars? Do I want to open a car shop? This is a malicious accusation. There are ways of verifying issues rather than engaging in media propaganda.”

But Idris, explaining the steps he had taken, said, “If you look through the windows of my former office and from the report from my (Force) transport officer, you would see cars but a week to the day I would resume, all these cars disappeared.

“So, what I am telling you is that I have signed a directive to my SIP (I have a special investigation panel, I set it up). It is going to investigate all the vehicle purchases, contributions to the police and the distribution of those vehicles in the last three years; we are going to look into that.
“When I took over, there was no vehicle, even the vehicle I would use. I discovered the last IG went away with 24 vehicles; the DIGs, some of them eight, some of them seven. The IG’s vehicles included two BMW 7 series, one armoured; and he left me with an old car.

“The last time I followed the President with it, he was asking me, ‘what are you doing with this old car’ because if you see the headlight, the thing has changed colour, which means they parked it and rains and everything had fallen on it, but the new ones that were bought, he (Arase) went with all of them; they are part of the 24.

“I wrote back to him and said, we have a policy that says when a policeman retires, if you are an IG, AIG, a CP, you are entitled to some vehicles; please, the extra, return it. Four vehicles are enough for an average human being, but what will you even do with four vehicles; but he took 24 vehicles, including two BMW cars.

“I wrote to him (Arase), I wrote to the DIGs.”
Idris disclosed that the Police Management Team would probe the last promotion in the Force following complaints by many police personnel that their juniors were promoted over them.

He explained that the probe was to address the discrepancies and complaints by aggrieved police personnel, who were allegedly short-changed during the exercise.

Idris stated that the probe panel would be set up to verify if the promotion was in line with the police service commission policy and regulations.

The IG explained that his focus was to run a democratic police organisation, which would be responsive and accountable.
He added that he had directed some audit firms to audit all police investments to make them more transparent and ensure that the rank and file, who were also shareholders, had more say in the police companies.

On strategies to curb the increasing wave of kidnapping and other crimes, Idris said he would strengthen, retrain and equip the Special Anti-Robbery Squad to be more responsive and responsible.

He said he recently removed some Area Commanders in Rivers and Kogi states when he learnt that they had been compromised.

Nihilist:
I may have to be more discriminating when deciding to who to respond to in future

I will try and answer your post, not because I believe it is of any particular value or worth replying, but just to show how events as they happened are considered irrelevant, when the defence of a beloved character is of utmost concern. Seems like even the facts are not allowed to get in the way of your narrative

For instance.


This is a bold faced lie.

Lord Glover on why he refused to answer Jon -

"Yes, my family served House Stark for centuries. We wept when we heard of your father's death. When my brother was Lord of this castle he answered Robb's call and hailed him King in the North! And where was "King" Robb when the Ironborn attacked this castle? When they threw my wife and children in prison and brutalized and killed our subjects? Taking up with a foreign wh0re... getting himself and those who followed him killed."

You can see that Glover is clearly questioning Stark Leadership here....No mention of the word 'Bastard'

Lord Manderly on why he refused to answer Jon -

""Lady Mormont speaks harshly... and truly. My son died for Robb Stark, the Young Wolf. I didn't think we'd find another king in my lifetime. I didn't commit my men to your cause because I didn't want more Manderlys dying for nothing."

Again the questions of leadership is raised, framed against a concern that Jon would have the Manderlys die for nothing'

Both Lords are very particular in pointing out that the safety of their men was of utmost priority, and neither one of them felt that Jon could guarantee their continued safety.



Another bold faced lie. Davos never sold Jon to Lyanna as a great leader. Instead he appealed to her instinct for self-preservation.

His speech below

"Jeor Mormont and Jon Snow both understood that the real war isn't between a few squabbling houses. It's between the living and the dead. And make no mistake my lady, the dead are coming."
As long as the Boltons hold Winterfell, the North is divided. And a divided North won't stand a chance against the Night King. You want to protect your people my lady, I understand. But there's no hiding from this. We have to fight. And we need to do it together"


I agree...which is why I did not focus on that in isolation. Like I said, he saved some of them from the whitewalkers and then offered them sanctuary at Castle Black doing away with a tradition that has held several centuries, and at the expense of his own life...yet these guys are still reluctant to fight for him at Winterfell. He has made enormous sacrifices to keep the wildlings alive, and yet was still unable to muster their loyalty without help- HOW COME?


This is exactly the point. The Lord Commander of the night's watch perfomed an noble act that was morally right. Yet his subordinates disagreed so strongly with his decision that they actually chose to MURDER HIM. If that is not the biggest exhibit of a lack of faith in his leadership, then I don't know what is.

I'm done with this debate. I cannot continue to repeat myself and deal with the same non-coherent arguments time and again.

No vex bo

I read every of ur arguments and d responses too but I dont really get ur points.


It is one thing to question Jon Snow as a person, it is another thing to question his qualities as a good leader.

C'mon bro......the one thing a good leader must possess is not losing sight of d big picture. In dis plot, the big picture is d white walkers. All Jon does is to only tried to play d big game. All the political brouhaha going on in kings landing will come to nothing if d white walkers come.


The best thing I saw in him in d season finale is the fact that even after everything, he forgive d houses that didnt fight with him against d bolton. A lesser man would av gone after them or even start to raise an army against d lannisters for what they did to his family.

He didnt care about all that, all he care about is saving his people. Ofcourse, some of them may not see d bigger picture yet so they may not really believe in him but that doesnt make him a bad leader.

e.g. If today, Nigerian president tells us to start contributing our hard earned money in order to ease d effect of global warming. Most of us will be like...'what is dis one saying'. But the truth is effect of global warming is coming whether we like it or not.

Lawyers are trained to argue for whichever side they took. So, is not out of place for those two to say that.

However, INEC should av thread cautiously in this regard if they are not playing out a script. If the law gives them a 7-day grace to issue out the certificate, they could av waited a lil while.

Obviously, the 2nd party will appeal and ofcourse once that is done, stay of execution will av to follow. They could av waited for like 6 days at least to give the other party a chance to do so. Instead of throwing up controversy here and there.

That been said, Ikpeazu should fire his lawyers. They are doing a shoddy jobs defending him. Even a rookie knows that after d judgment, the next thing to do is to find way of maintaining the status quo until all other options are utilize fully....

Okah should also be wary of the supreme court. They tends to favour the real PDPs in their judgements. He should avoid burning of d brigdes enroute to his mandate.

Kaponanty:
It appears that my brother, who is a very hardworking and caring man is not staying with his family due to the nature of his work to make ends meet. However, usually visits home at least once in every three 3 months or as time permitted.
Apparently, I was not staying with them until just of recent when my brother and his wife insist that I should stay with them and feel the vacuum of the uncertainty loneliness.
Undoubtedly. my sister-in-law is so caring and considerate but unfortunately she is a philanderer and she has been playing her game smartly until this fateful day when she gave me her phone to subscribe for her. Though its not in my attitude to pokenose but the WhatsApp prompt really caught my attention as it reads "Miss you too dear, please make sure you call me before you come tomorrow" I was really devastated by her grief that she is a green snake under the green grass. To crown it all, my sister-in-law was telling in advance that would be visiting her parents and would pass night with them.
I have no doubt that she is visiting the guy to enjoy herself but in my opinion I intend to call the guy and scare him off my Sister in-law or should I seat my in-law down and counsel her because she always respect and behalf like innocent.
Please what should I do as am really confused Thanks.

Do this......let her go to the guy's place. When u are sure she is there (probably in d night), call the guy's phone, and tell him to give it to ur sister-in-law.


When she picks d call, just ask her a random question...like, 'where do u drop the washing soap' or 'where is d key to d kitchen'. After that just act normal and drop the call. This will throw her and d lover off balance. (Trust me, they wont av sex dat nite).


If she is smart, she will come to u herself to beg and probably put a stop to it. However, if she asked how u know, just tell her, u've known for a while......


Trust me.....u will be in her debt for life!

it also happened to me when i cometh to the new York NY on Tue Dec I am so we have any questions about the other than that still in the way of the way to be able to see your email and I can you have to see you have any of this is not sure that still in the way to be in this is the way to be a lot of the other than that the way to be a few days to be in.

Gawd.....pls tell ur neighbour to enroll u in an evening class

The truth is....he should resign?

But at the same time, if every elected person resign just because they av a court case to answer. Nobody will be left in office in Nigeria.


My president is facing a court case about his SSCE certificate, can we call for his resignation too?

I think we should stop comparing our situation with d western world

Biko , don't like me , I am expecting the OP to tell me so in person and as the case may be , don't like me , feel free to hit harder , but i promise you , i could be your worst night mare

U really need to stop being silly....pple will think u are actually born with it.

BTW.....criminality has no bounds. We av Yoruba criminals, Hausa, Ijaw, even d so called Oyinbos criminals. What d op described is exactly what goes on right there (trust me on dis). Is just happenstance that the Ijaws are d major culprits in dis particular crime.....let's disect the issue and leave unwarranted sentiments aside. If d present govt felt the OPC option is not viable, they should work out a better alternative to curb this menace.


The idea of waking up the already solved national problems just to prove the former administrations wrong is seriously back firing on d good citizens of Nigeria.

Thank u jare my broda....It doesnt take much to know that was a temporary issue. All u need to do is wait some few days n d leaves dry up and u can see d water surface again.....


Nigerian kids hardly educate theirselves.....if they are not watching African magic, u will see dem watching telemundo or using their phone to pkay candy crush.

The easiest thing to do is to use google and find out similar occurrence around d world....I taya 4 my pple jare

All of u blaming Jon Snow for being emotional.....how would u feel if Rickon is ur brother.

He did what every human being with a heart would av done in that position. Even Sansa would have done the same thing if she were to be present at the battle ground initially. Or do you expect Jon to just shrugged it off....and return to the line. No, I would av done the same thing.

And the north should look out for Sansa, years of facing cruelty in the hands of the Boltons and Lannisters has turned her to a a f*cking b*tch. She can do anything to anybody now, even Jon Snow should be wary of her.

rusher14:
There's been a clear antecedent from the past.

The supreme court honours change of party once it can be established that a crisis exists within the party.

Presently, PDP has various factions.

For instance Sheriff still insists the position is his.

This has given an all clear for the likes of Nwoye to cross carpet.

It must be noted that these are obviously cheap politicians who have all along been looking for a reason to defect.

PDP might be losing more members in days to come if their internal crisis isn't resolved soon.

I disagree with u.....Chairmanship tussle between Sheriff and others do not constitute "faction". PDP can win that in court.

But I dont know the perks that comes with bearing APC in the house, I think the lawmakers should av just bid their time in d house by supporting every APC agendas while still being a PDP members. Tambuwal did the same for 3 years....

We are so proud......Yes.....we are Barca fans

He will try to impose his candidate on the pple of Ogun state......u can continue shaking ur coconut head now

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, in this interview with
OLALEKAN ADETAYO , speaks on the various allegations of dictatorial tendencies levelled against President Muhammadu Buhari among other sundry issues.

This government promised Nigerians a better life but in the last one year, all what they have experienced is suffering. Was the change mantra about a change for the worse or for the better?

It is mendacious to say that in the last one year, what Nigerians have been experiencing is suffering. It is not true. That can only be a private opinion. Whoever holds that opinion has a right to it but to say that all Nigerians have experienced in the last one year is suffering is not true.

There is a lot of hope in the land. When this government took over about a year ago, there was despondency in the land. One did not even know whether Nigeria was going to continue to exist as one country or not. But now, that is no longer the situation. In terms of security, anti-corruption fight and even the economy, there is a lot of hope.
Nigeria is like a plane taking off with its nose in the air. As long as the nose of the plane is in the air, you know that it is gaining altitude. Before this government came, the nose of the plane was down and one did not know whether it would land safely or crash-land. There is a lot of hope in the country now, so I will not agree that there has been suffering in the past one year, it is not true.

As this government clocks one year in office, can you mention one thing that the people have enjoyed so far?

Not just one thing but several things but I will tell you about the security situation. This time last year, we did not know whether Boko Haram would advance into the core South and core West. It seemed it would because Boko Haram was not just confined to the North East then; it was in the North West and North Central. The sect was active in Abuja, it was active in Kogi and the next thing was that it was going to make a foray into the South West and go into the South South and we know what would have happened to the country if that had happened. So if you compare the security situation this time last year with the situation now, you will know that Nigerians have a lot of reasons to be thankful to God.

Do you agree with Nigerians who blame this government for a lot of the economic woes the country faces today? For instance, one, there was a long delay in appointing ministers and in preparing the budget and when it did send the budget to the lawmakers, it was padded. Who do you blame for all these?

Anybody who blames this government for the nation’s economic woes does not understand the issues. A government does not run down the economy in 12 months. This government came on board to meet an economy which the President said had been vandalised. What this government has been doing in the last one year is coping with the consequences of the rot that the previous government left behind. It is not only about the previous government, but an accumulation of what was done by the many governments in the 16 years of the Peoples Democratic Party in power.
Do not forget that these were years that oil sold for an average of $100 per barrel and there was a time it hit $140 per barrel. How come we did not save? How come we have no reserve? How come infrastructure is at the stage it is? Anybody who says this government caused it does not just understand and I would want to pity such a person.

Why did the President and the Vice-President fail to attend May Day celebrations? Some people say it shows that they do not have value for workers. Is that so?

That is not true. The Minister of Labour and Employment was there. If nobody was there, we could talk. But as long as a government official was there, I don’t see any reason to raise issue about it.

There is so much confusion surrounding the liberalisation of the downstream oil sector. On one hand, the government is saying that it is deregulating it; on the other hand, it is putting a peg of N145 per litre on it. Is this government not confused?

Let me leave that for the Minister of State, Petroleum Resources to handle; it is his area. I will be pontificating if I now begin to talk on what I do not have all the details about. It is a developing situation. If you want an authoritative position on that, let the minister respond to that.

This government seems to be at a loss as regards dealing with the ongoing vandalisation of pipelines as there seems to be no end to the situation with our production dropping to 1.4 million barrels from 2.2 million. What is happening?

Saying government is at a loss is not right because each time this happens, in a couple of days, those who did it are apprehended. I am sure that in every where it has happened, those responsible have been apprehended within a number of days. So you cannot say the government is at a loss because it has the capacity to deal with it. I am not saying that it is by the use of force or arms alone that government is going to respond to it, but then, this government does not lack capacity to respond to that development.

It is not in record that power supply was ever at zero megawatts before this government came to power, but it happened during this government’s regime. Does this not contrast with all the promises made by this government?

It had occurred a number of times in this country before when the entire power architecture would just collapse. It had happened before and it has happened now. But we also know that vandalism plays a big role in what is happening in this country now. If a country like Iran came out of 33 years sanctions from the West and it has over 60,000Megawatts of electricity, it is because its nationals have not gone to vandalise installations. South Africa has over 50,000MW of electricity, it is because its nationals have not gone to vandalise installations. If Nigerians continue to vandalise installations, then they cannot in good conscience blame the government wholesale for the parlous state of power supply.

The Fulani herdsmen crisis is there and they seem to be attacking on regular basis and with impunity since President Buhari came to power. Do you agree with the people who say that this is going on because President Buhari is Fulani like them?

That will just be typical of some Nigerians, they are too suspicious. Some Nigerians are too suspicious of other ethnic groups. This has nothing to do with whoever is the President. The issue is endemic in Nigeria. It is almost as old as the country. It has always been there, it has nothing to do with who is the President but some people just find it convenient to attribute it to the President. This is unreasonable.

Some people say the President has been largely silent on the crisis.

That is not true. The President has not been silent on the matter. It is unfortunate that some people choose what they want to hear. The President has spoken against the crisis many times. We also issued a press statement on the matter. No stone will be left unturned in finding a lasting solution to the crisis.

There are also fears that President Buhari is gradually exhibiting dictatorial tendencies considering the invasion of the Akwa Ibom Government House and Ekiti State House of Assembly by the Department of State Services as an example. How will you react to this?

I won’t agree with you. We know that this President is a democrat and he is very liberal. We know him when he was a military ruler, now we have seen him as a democrat. We know he is playing the game according to democratic principles and ethos. I do not speak for the DSS. If you ask them, they may explain why what happened in Ekiti State happened. I do not speak for them, I speak for the President. One thing I can assure is that this President is a democrat.

For instance, the President also enlisted Nigeria into the Islamic Coalition Against Terrorism being spearheaded by Saudi Arabia. Was it not unlawful for him to have done that unilaterally without the approval of the National Assembly?

I believe there are some executive prerogatives. In doing that, the President just utilised the executive prerogative that he has. There is nothing that says that that decision must first be discussed at the National Assembly. I believe it falls under presidential prerogative.
The President has also explained why he took that decision. He said those causing this problem of insurgency claim they are doing it in the name of Islam. Again, the coalition is not a coalition of Islamic countries. Members are not necessarily Islamic countries. Nigeria is not an Islamic country; it is a multi-religious state and a secular state. But then, if there is something we can benefit from that coalition, why not? The President has explained this very well.

The President also allegedly failed to carry the Senate along in the unbundling or restructuring of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation?

In that case, even somebody in the Senate Committee on Petroleum came out to say that the National Assembly did not need to be carried along in that kind of thing. I am sure the law does not require that in any way.

Since the President already said that Boko Haram has been technically defeated, why did he enlist the country into the Islamic coalition again?

You know that the mopping up part of the war may be as difficult as the shooting part of the war, even if not more difficult. You know that as far as this insurgency is concerned, we are in the mopping up stage. We still need all the assistance we can get. That coalition may not necessarily be about the fighting part alone; it could also be that some assistance regarding rehabilitation and other types of assistance may be benefitted.
So Nigeria needs all the helps it can get either for intelligence, armament, rebuilding or for deradicalisation. There are many phases to the insurgency battle. It is not just about the shooting battle alone.

How will you react to the insinuations that the President’s decision was part of the plan to Islamise Nigeria?

I think it is the highest level of paranoia for anybody to believe that Nigeria can either be Islamised or Christianised. It is not possible. I think we should get out of that mindset of thinking that the country can be Islamised or Christianised, it will never happen. We should occupy our minds and ourselves with more productive things than to think somebody is going to impose a state religion on Nigeria.

Why is the President shutting down the clamour for self-determination by the people of Biafra?

The issue is that even among those who live in that geographical area that used to be called Biafra, is there a consensus that they want self-determination? Among those who are there, there is no consensus. Those young people got together because they never experienced war, they never knew the trauma of the civil war in which more than two million Nigerians died. They are the ones beating the drums of self-determination.
If you do a referendum in that geopolitical part of the country, I am sure that a larger number will prefer to stay within the Nigerian federation. Why did we fight that 30-month grueling civil war to keep Nigeria one if at the end of the day, people will just stand up and say ‘we are dismembering the country’? I am sure that generation that fought the war, that generation is still around, will never be part of that kind of quest.

The President has shown his willingness to negotiate with the Boko Haram sect if genuine leaders come forward but failed to show the same kind of willingness in the case of the group called the Indigenous People of Biafra. Is he not being sectional in his approach?

What Boko Haram is doing is insurgency. I doubt if IPOB has got to the level of insurgency nor will it get there because I believe that not too many people are going to follow that group into insurgency. I believe it will never happen. The leaders of thought in that part of the country are not with them, at least from all that we can see. So what is there to negotiate? For instance, what is IPOB asking for? They say they are being marginalised, when did they realise that they are being marginalised? Is it about 12 months ago when power changed hands? If the former President Goodluck Jonathan government had continued, would there have been that agitation? Were they not saying he is Ebele Azikwe and he is their brother and that his administration was an administration of the South East? For me, there is nothing to negotiate.

Many Nigerians have also expressed concern over the President’s style of speaking to them through foreign media organisations whenever he is abroad. How will you react to this?

The same people accept that the world has become a global village but when it comes to the President speaking, they will say he is speaking from abroad. If the world is indeed a global village, does it matter where you say anything?
Let me explain something to you. Before we travel, there is what we call a trip planning meeting. In the meeting, we organise what happens daily and hourly. For us in the media team, we have appealed to the President that anytime we are traveling, we want a slot for the media and the President has graciously agreed.
That is why whenever we travel, that slot comes and the President talks to the media, including Nigerian media. The Nigerian Television Authority and any other station that travels with us will be there and other Nigerian journalists will be there. Usually, you will see such news items on NTA and other stations whose correspondents travel with us. So why then do they say he speaks through foreign media? It is not foreign media. Even if he talks on foreign soil because that is where we can have the time, as long as what he has said got to Nigeria and it is consumed by Nigerians, there is nothing wrong in that.

Some aviation experts have criticised the BASA agreement Nigeria signed with Qatar recently, saying it is to Qatar’s benefit and not to Nigeria. Will the President consider their opinions?

Don’t forget that when we dissolved all boards and then it was pointed out to the President that there is an extant court ruling that says the boards of universities cannot be dissolved except there is a case of corruption or misappropriation, the President ordered the next day that the boards of universities be reinstated. I issued the press statement for the dissolution and I also issued the press statement for their reinstatement. So I can assure you that the President will listen to everybody and every group that has one thing or the other to say about government policies and agreements and will take the right decisions.

In this trying times.......I will support anyone that will wrestle power from Amosun. We cant continue in that lane again....

The problem with using tracking apps to locate phone is that the GPS of d phone in question has to be turn on and d network must be top notch.....if not, its an exercise in futility.....

Victory for Mark only confirms one thing: Idomas are ok with the mediocre status quo and are cowardly taking the easy route even if the outcome is 16 yrs casted in stone. David mark didn't do jack before , he sure as hell wont do anything now. With nothing to lose a wise electorate would have opted for the least travelled route. Afterall what greater calamity can befall the idomas than trying the same thing for 20 yrs and expecting a different outcome.

Hmmmmn......the whole of Nigeria made the same mistake in the last election by walking the least travelled routes, we can all see where it has gotten us now. We av all learn bitterly that in d absence of credible alternatives, it is better to maintain the status quo rather than plunging into an unknown terrain..........

Burger01:
I keep wondering what a man like David Mark still doing in the senate. 16 years! Aren't there any other notable sons of Benue? People are just not voting for the betterment of their lives and immediate surroundings. Pity

Actually, the pple of Benue stand to gain more from sending a veteran than a newbie to the senate. Do u know how many years some senators av spent in d US congress? We av some that had spent more than 20 years. Is good for politics and is good for d constituencies too

That is d kind of stupid protests that derailed every tangible policies of past governments. I dont know how dis pple use their brain, but am sure it is not used optimally. When GEJ attempt subsidy removal, these so-called labour leaders in collaboration with some political dickheads, organize d largest protest ever witnessed in d country. Fastforward to December 2015, we paid dearly for it by purchasing fuel for as high as 500 naira per litre.

If I spent an average of 500 naira per night to power my generator without protesting to anybody, why should I protest a fee increase of 10 naira which acumulate to a sum of 300 naira in a month for 'NEPA'.
