Smithkafors:
I don't see any reason why he should reject the car.everything should not be politicized.

Read the article again. The valid reason is well stated there.

The man is smart, he knows that he can be embarrassed in the future. When one 'Pharaoh that doesn't know Joseph' comes on board and then decided to ask why he was given a car gift by the state govt, when the laws of the state has already been modified not to recognise him as a former governor.

The man is wise. If they want to reward him, let them first amend the state laws to recognise those who were former governors from the entity from which the state was created as also former governors of the created state.

Politics › Re: Appeal Court To Decide Ikpeazu's Fate, Thursday August, 18th by agabusta: 7:23am On Aug 18, 2016*

cktheluckyman:
No matter what happens today, the status quo will remain until the Supreme Court rules

Not necessarily so. That can only happen when the supreme court grants a stay of execution. It is not automatic like that of an election petition tribunal judgement being appealed.

In a case decided by an election petition tribunal, when an appeal is filed at a higher court, you automatically have a stay of execution.

In this case, a High court has already given INEC certain orders which they are to comply with. And they have done so.

The holder of INEC certificate of return is supposed to be sworn in to the position of the certificate he/her is holding and in this case, Abia state governor.

Ikpeazu just cunningly used a another court to tie the hands of those expected to administer the oath of office on the holder of the certificate of return.

If the appeal court agrees with Justice Okon Abang's ruling, the order of Okon Abang's court can be carried out as the order of the state high court barring the Chief Judge from swearing in Ogah will become null and of no effect consequent upon the ruling of the higher court (in this case, the Appeal Court).

What can stop this is if an appeal is speedily filed at the supreme court, and the supreme court grants a stay of execution.

(Kindly take note of the highlighted part)

I can see you are really pained by something that's really far beyond my previous comment.

Announced that i work in the energy sector? Are you for real? If you are not proud of where you currently work Oga i do.

Oh, thanks for correcting me on the meaning and how to use the word 'innate', i do appreciate it SIR.

Cunning mind? sir its just my view and as far as i'm aware you dont have to go that far. 'IT IS MY VIEW'!!!

We never enjoyed such during GEJ tenure? You dont have conscience.

Alright, I apologise if I was unnecessarily harsh. But sincerely, announcing that you work in the power sector is irrelevant.

I make bold to say again, that the stability we enjoyed for some period (about 2-3 months) last year like a month or two after Buhari took over, and what we are also experiencing presently was not enjoyed throughout GEJ's tenure. Now dont get me wrong that there was no power supply during GEJ's tenure. I'm just saying that peak was never recorded.

I have conscience and I'm stating it categorically. The stability we enjoyed for about 2months last year is quite unprecedented. And it is about repeating itself again now. Its not a matter of talk, just tell us the period (months or year if you cannot pin a particular month) during GEJ's time, that such power supply and stability was recorded.

Mr. Man, i have the right to air my view as it is to me so don't tell me to keep quiet. Its shame that we hardly give credit to those who went through hell to put a strong foundation rather we give credit to peeps who deserve little or no credit.

Do away with your hateful innate mind.

Mind you i work in the Energy sector and i know what each administration has contributed into the grown of the power sector so far.

NOTE: Stop generalizing, it's childish.

Foundation? Obj set the pace Oga.

If you indeed work in the energy sector you should know that by giving his cronies advantage in the bidding for those discos, GEJ drew that industry back.

Many of the challenges being faced by the discos is largely due to their lack of technical competence.

Hate? GEJ is not hated mind you. He has his own ups and downs. I have always been saying it, why do some of you always scream 'hate' whenever GEJ is criticised?

It seems you don't know the meaning of 'innate', kindly check the meaning and appropriate it's usage next time.

In your cunny mind, you saw it appropriate to give credit to GEJ, and didn't see any reason to commend those that have been saddled with the burden for more than 1 year now??

Those that are being abused day and night for the power issue, Oga quit hypocrisy and give honour to whom it is due as u stated.

And it is not only you that work in the energy sector, your announcement is irreverent.

We have never enjoyed such throughout GEJ tenure. If you dispute/doubt, bring out your facts.

Crude oil ko Coconut oil nii..
Sure the north has a lot of minerals like Coke, fanta, 7up, crush, Tandi etc.

It will be to the advantage of the country as a whole if substantial quantity of crude oil is discovered in the North. So please wish them well.

If commercial quantity is discovered over there, and investors build at least 3 refineries, I bet you Nigeria will be exporting petroleum products to the neighboring countries; earning foreign exchange in the process.

The will be massive job opportunities over there.

There will be a reduction of the tankers coming all the way to Lagos to lift fuel, and as such preserve the roads and reduce accidents.

It will provide the Northern governors with more money, which they can use to improve the standard of education and poverty over there.

The benefits are just too much!

Ugosample:
These SW guys like over estimating their importance in Nigerian politics.....
So in the last elections, you think Buhari would have won without winning Kwara, Kogi, Benue and Plateau; D

With the way Fulani herdsmen have dealt a deadly blow to the middle belt, they would never vote a herdsmen for second term.
And if course, the SE/SS would never vote a herdsman too, even if they have to vote another northerner over him.
And that is 11 states against SW 6.
The core north will be split because PDP will adopt a northern candidate too; At least that candidate will win his state, and the States around him.
With all these happening, you think the SW has the way alone

Anyways, all these ones are speculation, let God keep us alive till 2019.

Nobody is overestimating anything, just postulating based on past occurrences. It is you guys that are even overestimating PMB's support in the SW. SW elections is never an easy ride for anybody. All the SW states gubernatorial election have been won and lost by both PDP and APC progenitor asides Lagos.

Of course the North Central also paid a key role in Buhari's victory. Without their votes the election would have been a stalemate and will not have been in Buhari's favour.

The North Central just like the SW will be divided but PMB may still edge out a slight victory as it happened in 2015.

Even before the 2015 election, there have always been herdsmen/farmers clash and I can vividly remember also that even here on Nairaland, PDP supports said this was going to work against PMB in the 2015 election but the opposite was the case. They shouted it to the high heavens here on nairaland that the middlebelt would never vote for a Fulani. People like us who told them then, that it was not as rigid as they were saying it were shouted down and insulted.

The only thing that can work against PMB in 2019 in those states is if the APC governors over there continues on a woeful performance till 2019.

Yorubas be trying very hard to justify their glaring failures. You made a heck of a mistake, bite the humble pie, apologize and move on, mbanu, never! Coming down from their high horse is a onerous task.
Saying a simple "sorry" is an abomination.
Let's tell ourselves the bitter truth, yorubas voted out the last administration cos they didn't like the face of the man in power, they couldn't just fathom any other than a SW or Northerner in power. But just like in the case of Mandela, whose greatness shone brighter after he left power, the same now applies to the immediate past president. Whom God has blessed, no man can cause.
We know you guys made a mistake by preferring a dullard to be ur leader and we're seeing the obvious effect, buh stop with the justification of your inadequacies and errors of judgment, Nigeria has moved on long ago.
And if you still feel haunted by your past action (esp as the hunger is biting harder [boy! no one eats like the yorubas], and you can't reconcile urself with the realities of today) , then knock urself out with this.......

You guys entertain yourselves a lot with deception. All what you wrote there is balderdash.

The SW still gave GEJ about 45% or more of their votes.

How come you people find it difficult to understand that, disagreeing with GEJ's style of leadership and administration does not mean he is hated in the SW??

Please don't equate your hatred for Buhari to generalize that the SW also hate GEJ.

The funny part is that Northerners will always support their own it will only take a miracle for Buhari not to win in 2019.

The South West still hold the key to Aso Villa in the next general election

And the peeps opposed to Buhari are still yet to attain political maturity. They think it's by abuses and half truths. Despite all the abuses and half truths of pre 2015 elections, Buhari still won.

Exactly same mistake PDP made by focusing on abuses instead of showing better alternatives.

If it continues this way, Buhari may still win 2nd term with the help of the south west. The SW voters are less emotional and sentimental. People opposed to Buhari are just too emotional emphatically refusing to acknowledge the foundation of the economic problems we are having now.

Just watch how they will respond with abuses to this my post.

Why is this man talking like an illiterate??

He erroneously thinks appeal to emotions and sentiments can save him??

What is the meaning of inconclusive election? He doesn't even seem to know.

An election is declared inconclusive simply to protect the interest of those contesting in cases where overvoting is recorded or where there is incontrovertible evidence of wide scale violence.

Cancellation of some polling unit results where there is evidence of magomago can even be to his own advantage!

The simple reason there seem to be an upsurge of inconclusive elections now is simple because INEC has now decided to be doing the right thing by reconducting elections in polling units where elections were cancelled. This is especially when the margin between the leading candidate and the runner-up is less than the registered voters in the units cancelled.

Most of the re-runs conducted consequent to declaring an election inconclusive has even shown that the leading candidate always still wins the election.

I am yet to see where a runner-up was able to upturn the seeming 'victory' of a leading candidate in all the re-runs done so far following declaring an election inconclusive.

Declaring the election inconclusive most times is just for INEC to satisfy all 'righteousness' and not leave legal loopholes that may be used in court to nullify the election.

When will PDP change from this their penchant for sentimental campaigns??

They did it last election and were handed a defeat. One would have thought their defeat last year will lead to abandonment of such unhealthy campaign strategy.

Nigeria’s Aruna Quadri has qualified for the quarterfinals of the singles table tennis event at the ongoing Rio 2016 Olympics.

This will be the first time any African will be getting to that stage of the competition at the Olympics.

Quadri balled Timo Boll of Germany out of the Olympics with a 10-12, 10-12, 5-11, 11-3, 11-5, 9-11.

Quadri will battle World number one, Ma Long of China, in the quarterfinals.

Sports › Nigeria's Quadri Bashes Chinese Chuang Chihyuan 4-0 To Advance To Round Of 16 by agabusta(op): 4:10pm On Aug 08, 2016

Quadri causes upset to equal Toriola’s Olympics records in Rio

Motivated by the inspiration of legend Segun Toriola, Aruna Quadri yesterday defied all odds to demystify one of the tournament’s favourites, Chinese Taipei’s Chuang Chih-Yuan with a 4-0 bashing to berth in the fourth round of the men’s singles of the table tennis event at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

For making it to the fourth round (last 16), Quadri has equaled the feat achieved by Toriola at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in China where the former African champion made it to the same stage of the championship.

The Nigerian who is ranked 40th in the world and 27 at the Rio Olympic Games tamed the world’s number seven and tournament’s number five seed to make a giant stride in his career.

If what happened at the 2016 German Open is anything to go by, Quadri has no chance against the Asian star as the 2014 ITTF Star Player was bundled out in less than 15minutes.

Fired up by the loud ovation that greeted Segun Toriola’s exit in the second round of the men’s singles, Quadri was in excellent form with an emphatic routing of his highly-rated opponent.

The defeat suffered by the Asian star was that disgraceful that he could not win a game in the 4-0 ((11-6, 12-10, 11-6, 11-7) bashing.

Notably, four year ago at London 2012, Quadri’s victim – Chuang Chih-Yuan had reached the bronze medal match, where he was beaten by Germany’s Dmitrij Ovtcharov.

Like Quadri, another star of the night was Ukraine’s Kou Lei who attracted the attention by upsetting top seed.

Kou Lei, the no.28 seed, ended the hopes of Frenchman, Simon Gauzy, the no. 13 seed (11-6, 6-11, 16-14, 11-9, 11-6).

In the fourth round match, Quadri will be faced with another task as he is expected to battle against Germany’s Timo Boll, ranked 13 in the world and tournament’s number 10 seed

Career › Re: Safety In Our Workplaces. How Do We Ensure That? by agabusta: 6:02pm On Aug 07, 2016

The companies operating in Nigeria do not take Occupational health and safety serious as the laws guiding it in Nigeria are outdated and in some instances nonexistent.

The first step is to get the govt to pass a contemporary Occupational health and safety law into our statutes and then see companies fall in line.

The 7th Assembly passed the law but Ex-President GEJ did not sign it into law.

I don't know if PMB can still assent this bill or it has to be passed afresh by the 8th Assembly.

The focal point of this discussion should be how to mobilise to get PMB to assent to this bill or how to get the 8th Assembly to reconsider the bill if necessary.

Nigeria companies will never take Occupational health and safety serious unlesss if backed by strict laws and strict enforcement.
