omenka:
Good evening all.

This thread isn't created to spite any one or any people. It is just a wake up call to majority Nigerians, who happen to be very poor at remembering events of history and how they are meant to shape our thought processes and indeed orientation.

Now, very interesting events happened in the last 24 hours in our National Legislative Chambers. Both chambers were inaugurated and their leadership elected. APC being the dominant party clinched the top spots in both chambers, but as we all know, PDP and her supporters seem to be the most jubilant party over the outcome of the elections, why, one might be tempted to ask.

In the run up to the general elections, Saraki whom PDP supported doggedly in the just concluded NASS election, was hounded by the same party, threatened with all manner of sanctions that eventually culminated in his exit from the party. His rift with the party (PDP) and the presidency back then, began with his blowing the lid on what has come to be known as the biggest heist in the nation's history- the Subsidy Scam- which ran into tens of billions of dollars. He was buffeted from all sides with all manner of allegations and barely survived having himself locked up in jail. He eventually found a sanctuary in the opposition, now the ruling party.

Now, inexplicably, the same party that threw everything but the kitchen sink at this recalcitrant and rebellious congressman sees him as a valiant, their knight in shining armour. Wonders huh? Well they voted for him in the absence of half of the members of the Senate as the Senate president, case closed., and for what?- just to spite the opposition, maybe, and to have their man as the Deputy.

In the Green Chamber, Dagora emerged the Speaker. I know quite little about him, but nevertheless, that is immaterial to the crux of this piece.

Here's what my problem is: during the electioneering campaigns, Nigerians/electorates were subjected to all manner of divisive and potentially catastrophic propaganda from the PDP. To mention a few, we saw things like-

1. Buhari is too old to be a leader.

2. Buhari is a terrorist sponsor.

3. Buhari has fossilised ideas and cannot lead a 21st century country effectively.

4. Buhari has prostate cancer and might die soon.

5. Buhari's candidacy is a product Northern conspiracy for National domination.

6. Buhari is "tribalistic".

7. The Northerners suffer from a "Born to Rule Syndrome".

8. APC is a party akin to the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. It is dominated by Muslims and Northerners.

And others too numerous to mention.

Numbers 5-8 are my major concern.

Most of the points listed above were propagated and hammered on by same people who are jubilant over the emergence of Dagora and Saraki as Speaker HoR and Senate President respectively. Dagora is a Northerner, Saraki is from North Central (includes christian dominated states such as Taraba, plateau, Benue, but when the time comes, PDP will call him a "Northerner", and when you say "North", everyone thinks "Islam/Muslim). It is necessary putting this in writing because a time will come, perhaps in 2019, when PDP would want to replay that ethnic, religious, and regional cards which appears to be the only ammo in their arsenal- polarise Nigerians along these lines, have them vote based on these sentiments, and see to your retention in office!

Now, the situation we have at present shows Three of the Top Four Positions are occupied by "Northerners" but PDP is happy about it and apparently has no qualms whatsoever with the arrangement.

I have always been against all that North, South, East, West, Muslim, Christian, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo politicking. It has never and will never be the panacea to Nigeria's innumerable problems. Have always been pro Nigeria and would always support whoever it is that gets into an office as far as their competence isn't in doubt.

Without the support of PDP, what happened today wouldn't have happened, so we would hold them to account when the time comes, and remind them of their lofty stance at this time.

The events of today should effectively put to rest all that ethnoreligious politicking that PDP is known for.

We look forward to a very productive National Assembly.

Congrats to Saraki.

Congrats to Dagora.


God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

So you have come to the rude realisation that it cannot be reversed after denying the authenticity of the election? This is a good way to let out your frustration, well done there!!! Karma na biatch

komek:
Baba, I knew u were listening to the procEedings live in the National Assembly. I told them when they were ask after u.

I am present.

Thank you sir......

barcanista:
My joy is that APC were not only served the bitter pills, but they were made to lose control of the National Assmbly as a whole despite their numerical majority. But the good thing for Nigerians is that these events officially signals the end of godfatherism.

PDP Shall Lead Again

May not be the end of Godfatherism but it will be the end of parties meddling in the affairs of national assembly.

What a wonderful day.

You said 15 good universities and not 15 best

Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka has won the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Imperial Barrel Award, in which several African Universities participated. The university placed first with a 79.33% score, leaving second and third places to Helwan University, Egypt and the Federal University of Technology, Akure respectively. Nigerian universities that participated in the competition include Federal University of Technology Owerri, University of Lagos, University of Ilorin, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Federal University of Technology Akure, University of Ibadan and University of Calabar. - See more at: http://connectnigeria.com/articles/2013/03/26/nnamdi-azikiwe-university-wins-african-geology-competition/#sthash.1r2gH1GF.dpuf

They went ahead to win the 5th position in the world even when one of their major participants was denied VISA by the US beating the likes of Manchester University to the 7th position.

And lalasticala did not include them?

What's your criteria?

present sir. I have been having a wonderful day. Revenge is sweet when served cold.Guys, this is victory for democracy

ybalogs:
Clueless? YES
dumb ? No and that's when we already know what our Nobel prise winner has to offer.

What is the difference between being clueless and being a dullard? Why would you caution someone for calling a president clueless having called another a dullard?

Hipocrisy?

ybalogs:
Calling your President a dullard, hmmmm, I pity you

Have you called a president clueless or dumb before?

soe:
And i can see a supreme court judgment underway....suspending the Senate until further notice.

The illegality in the action of the so called clerk of the house will not stand. Having inaugurated 57senators only out of 109, that is not even up to a quorum (quorum is 1/3rd for normal plenary...but for extraordinary plenary such as this and constitution amendment among others specified by law, it is 2/3rd).

And this was also without the requisite formal declaration by Mr President, signalling the launching of the new assembly.
That said, APC needs to checkmate the activities of certain people. Saraki has only confirmed that he is far from "change" as he is neck deep in romance with the PdP gang. Shame to kwankwaso also, for being no different...now I know never to trust the so called N-PDP boys who ought to have been left to rot in political oblivion like Lamido and Muazu.

First, he called the VP a mere commissioner.
Secondly, he damned the meeting with mr president.
Thirdly, he paired with pdp imps.

My advicr to Buhari, this guy still has 4 heavy corruption baggages....it is either you immediately recruit Nuhu Ribadu into the EFCC, or you consult OBJ on how to deal ruthlessly with Senate Presidents.

Wabara knows what I'm talking about

Hipocrisy

AbuMikey:
This is unacceptable!
Hasty Nomination.
Hurried assumption of office.


Saraki, just probably bit more than He can chew.


Or, what if Saraki was Tinubu's choice?

Whatever
karma is a biatch

anonimi:
What is the corruption precedence of-

- Tambuwal
- Tinubu
- Amaechi
- Fashola
- Buhari

Are these pillars of APC not utterly corrupt individuals despite their PRETENCE

The way this people talk is funny. Even the devil laughs at their hipocrisy. If APC had backed Saraki, you won't hear this bashing.

Too early guys, too early. What makes APC thick is from the PDP. Like chemical reaction there can be rearrangement to get a stable structure.

SuperSuave:
keep calm and wait for it

While hundreds are dying in the northeast?
How can I keep calm?

Lai mohammed has stopped issuing real time statement on bomb blasts. There are no more press conferences on BH activities.

That's the change I am seeing.

All the promises made have been reversed, that's the change I am seeing

I don't need to keep calm bro

Barcanista

I actually do not know what my support will do for Saraki, I do not have a vote

My thinking is that Mark should try his luck. Why campaign for APC?

I lost my N500 in Societe Generale

texazzpete:
Thank you for quoting all the rabble-rousers at once...at least now I know whose opinions to take with a pinch of salt. Most of these sycophants I already know, but there are a few others that have slipped below my radar until now. You have my thanks.
.

You call me a rabble rouser? And what are you?

SuperSuave:
why is op complaining unnecessarily Gej and other administrations must have done something worse or similar so why is it now that you are complaining how many choppers you wan make them use sef(considering security)

But you called him names for doing so, why are you condoning it now?

We tried to tell you it is a procedure that has nothing to do with who is the president but you guys won't listen.

Your messiah has committed the same offence and you are justifying it because it happened in another administration yet you were chanting change, where is the change?

soe:
dude

Sell ur brain if you can't use it.

First Lady office is different being the First Lady ... wife of the president.

So try to understand the major difference here is the word "office"

For example...miss Nigeria is different from "office of the miss Nigeria"


While the First Lady remains the mother of the nation....the office title allows her to draw out an annual budget funded by the FG through ministry of women affairs. Also, special security paraphernalia and protocol as seen with mans piss. These are the things that will be banned

Akuko, whose money is she using to host the Adamawa women? Her pocket money?

booof!!! like in cartoons right?

newsflash:we are not a bunch of 11 year olds.

There is no end time, when you die thats your end time-thats how i feel. None of the points you highlighted above is new, those things have all been going on since the days of the dinosaurs.

Thats what makes you feel safe. not accepting

floxyluv80:
Hmmmmm!!! They've not seen anything yet. Nigerians & even spirits of d innocent souls killed by boko haram won't allow them 2 rest. They are cheats!!!

Including those who died within the last week. They will never allow those in power to rest.

Someone is waiting on the line

RickRichards:
You don enter one chance. Whatever that means.

Ask Buhari, he knows what one chance means.

atlwireles:
There is a difference between campaign and governance. Who are they going to blame now

GEJ is killing them from Otuoke

Just like he made you believe he borrowed to buy nomination ticket while his wife wears 10.5 m wrist watch. It is one of I-am-poor stunts. Don't be deceived.

Sahara reporters is owned by an APC apologist. Did you disregard what they published?
Will you disregard the information because it is from a someone linked to opposition?

torkaka:

. . . . . . . . .exactly my point, she can afford a 10m naira watch if it pleases her

That's fair enough. What is unfair is that she can afford 10.5m watch and her husband would have to borrow money from the bank to buy a nomination form for a post she is eager act as the first lady.

It is the deception of the century

E yaaaa!!!!
Find him handkerchief

Craigston:
Check if this can help. Google for similar problems and observe how they solved the problems. I've not used winbox so I don't really know much.

www.dllcore.com/filefix/roteros.dll.html

I have searched but the solutions I have seen are not tenable.
I downloaded from the link before but was too scared to try installing it.

Will try again tomorrow. Tankio

bisi16:
Dis kid just blew me away

I dey tell ya

Craigston:
If you can find the 'roteros.dll' file in the old version, copy it to the correct location in the new version. It might be present in the new version in a wrong location. Read every instruction that comes with the new version: there may be changes to the folder structures to note.

Well, not sure where to start looking.
I have deleted the current version and downloaded the old version. No solution yet

doctokwus:
This is honestly shocking,uncalled for and must be reviewed.
Whoever thinks Nigerians voted for the same of d same must be joking.We voted for change and change we must get into how we conduct our business in Nigeria.

Awww!!!

At least you are not defending this one
Change, changii, at your chagrin
