sucess001: I take exception to your choice of words, lashing out without making coherent sentences, making juvenile comments belittles you as a person, not one who claims to be a learned fellow. Your inability to comprehend or accept a dissenting opinion doesn't give you the right to term me senseless on a faceless forum. Its a mockery of whatever message you are trying to pass across. Never in my submission did I abuse your person. If that's how you are trained in the animal jungle you reside in, it's not an acceptable behavior around Humans. Your knack for myopic swevens and warped bias puts logic on its head and making maledicent comments like someone suffering from lalochezia, wouldn't launder an already messed up perception of your person.

Phace: I for one wouldn't muddle up facts while explaining a situation, and would gladly elaborate on the point(s) I've made if it seems ambiguous. Although in reality, the Laws of nature do not always double as natural laws, but one law has proven its validity beyond science. Every action has an opposite reaction. The DSS made a clear point of its disapproval of the way an appeal court judge was merely retired by the NJC and told to pay the #200 million embezzled in installments. Like seriously? Someone took a bribe of #200 million, and the only punishment is refunding the money? Where is the punishment in that? The legal definition of punishment is: "The imposition of hardship in response to misconduct.". Where is the hardship in paying in installments, considering the relative value of money over time, inflation and other factors are taken into consideration? The NJC appears as haughty in its disdain for reality as the fabled elephant on his coronation. The issue at hand is not the legality of the decisions of the DSS, which is very legal. Its as simple as this; an NJC riddled with ridiculous outcomes of cases handed over to them cannot simply be entrusted with the cleansing of the rot in the judiciary. 1 Like |

If you are a member of the NBA as you claimed, then I shudder at the thought of you representing a client with your uninhibited support for the jumentous actions of these individuals. Your line of argument to justify the corrupt judges is filipendulous, to say the least, and you wonder why the Nigerian law profession is not respected anymore like the days of yore. Just like a mumpsimus, the NJC has been corrupt by the infection warranted by the people constitutes it. It is a futile effort expecting the NJC to adjudicate this matter because of the caliber of people involved. 3 Likes |

It never ceases to amuse me when the opposition makes an effeminate attempt at criticism based on their desperation caused by their inferiority complex. They complain about every move of the president without recourse to sanity, even when the decision is in the best interest of the nation. Their only solace and salvation for the nation is to return the nelipot GEJ a man who opened up the country's treasury to his Kleptomaniac cronies without batting an eyelid. The prosecutor might have played a smart one on Orubebe by reducing the charges to one which has a higher probability of getting him nailed rather than four which could be insufficient. |

Also in 2006 shell had the Bonga oil field oil leakage, which led to loss of products to the leaks and also extra cost of fixing the leakages. Using the above figures, if Shell alone is paying approximately 855 billion naira (using today's rate), how much do think the FG would make from the other firms considering the fact that there is an increased output form the Oil companies and there is peace in the region.

ChinemeOkpan: What some of TANoids have forgotten is that unlike their principal's cupidity and constant pandering towards cleptobiosis, the APC / GMB campaign is based on recommendations sourced from technocrats, from the branding to the infographics, to photography. Heck, the social media is handled by 2 seasoned PR companies, one in the US and the other in the UK, to have a glimpse check GMB's tweets about the Kenyan attacks and you would see how social media should be used in governance. What they fail to realise is the fact that by defenestrating the wasteful orientation of the current dispensation, coupled with a dogged focus on improving the current economic situation, which includes security of lives and properties and improvement of the power generation, the income of the FG would naturally improve in proportion to resultant FDI (foreign direct investment). 3 Likes |

ChinemeOkpan: He has forgotten so soon that its not business as usual with the oil companies. I can recall that there's a clause in the oil contracts which states that non-performing oil wells would be taken over by the FG, which means the oil company would have to prove beyond reasonable doubts that its oil block is performing, and that in itself is based on the premise that the revenue projections tally with the agreed benchmarks. Its either you pay up or forfeit your oil block. |

teeowl: [b] Yes there is. A tale of 2 presidents. While one president employed the services of politicians(Abati and Okupe) with little or no knowledge of communication management, the other opted for a reputed communications firm to handle his image. Well, the result of this is clear for all to see - a thoroughly deserved victory at the polls. A quick glance at the new account's twitter handle will give you an insight into how governance should be. A quick check on the message to Kenya on the terrorist attack would show you a thorough-bred communications management, not speaking about "stealing is not corruption" or "story of yam and goat" (**no pun intended). GEJ should be a case study on how not to run a presidency, constantly dogged with half-wit statements, unprofessional responses from his aides, and a shabby handling of interaction with the populace. No wonder he had a bad public perception even in situations where he meant no harm. When GEJ's aides were challenged on the activities of their principal, they would rather respond like a polyphloisboian, making inaniloquent statements like someone high on horse urine. They are just like an hamartithia, suffering from knismesis, lacking in substance and a sense of purpose. I'm really angry at how low they've succeeded in dragging the honour of the office of the president of the most powerful black nation. Heck, they even advised him to wrongly visit Chad and Niger to beg for cooperation.... are you friggin kidding me? Maybe, just maybe GEJ would have fared better if he had a better team, unlike the disjointed unit he was surrounded with. The new direction by GMB should form the basis of our polity across all spheres, from the FG to individual states with a focus on professionalism at all times, no matter whose ox is gored, there should be no room for irresponsible governance and "man-o-man", with no trace of seriousness.

Not again. It is when the government is bereft of ideas that it resorts to propagandas and half-truths to sell a bad product.

Blinded by their lust for pandering to their gluttonous appetite, they would rather make gambrinous statements, and the party they represent doesn't find their barefaced lies out of place considering the antecedents of the present crop of politicians as a group of ventripotent individuals with preference for tergiversation at the slightest opportunity.

I was watching the Christmas address from the Queen of England, and afterwards saw a snippet of our president's new year speech. To say I was shocked and embarrassed is an understatement of the actual feelings I felt, if an 88 year old woman sounded more inspiring than our able President who sounded like a local government chairman. His body language exudes fears and he struggled all through the broadcast that I felt he is being misled by his advisers and cronies, i wouldn't be wrong to assume he's being forced to continue by the powers that be and people with vested interest in the Nigerian project.

Someone who should be the custodian of our sovereignty as a nation is seen fanning the embers of ethnic and religious bigotry, forgetting that you cannot continue to fool everyone for so long. From a religious perspective, Prophet Nathan Rebuked David when he sinned, i guess he should have stayed out of politics, and the politician shouldn't stay out of churches when they need votes I guess. If the polity is messed up and there's chaos in the land, would the church hold services? Joseph was a prime minister in Egypt, David was a musician to King Saul, Esther was married to the Persian King Ahasuerus, Daniel served King Nebuchadnezzar, showing that when the church distances itself from politics then they have no right to complain when policies goes against their beliefs, in-fact being involved with politics means influencing decisions, hence it was easier for the children to be freed from Egypt by Moses who grew up as a prince/general as a result of which he understood the inner workings of the Egyptian dynasty.
