Monjerk:
You mean she drop the membership position because she wanted to become Inec commissioner.

Because the report mentioned something about her name being on number 2 or 4 of APC membership registration document somewhere at Aniocha in Delta state.

She clearly stated that she left the party since 2019. What is most important is that she’s no longer a member of any party as at today. Did you guys raise any issue when PDP members were appointed into INEC?

Minjim:
There is a difference btw being partisan and being a member of a party.

You can be partisan and not be a member of a political party.

The point is, she is partisan

And the Electoral Act clearly states that the position is not for, obviously, partisan people like her

Is there anybody of voting age in Nigeria that is not partisan? Johnson Alalibo and Festus Okoye were both cars carrying members of PDP before they were appointed to INEC and nobody raised any issue. So, why should Lauretta be treated differently?

See, you guys can cry and wail all you want and it won’t have any effect. She’s no longer a member of APC so you can force APC membership tag on her. If you have evidence that she’s still a card carrying member of the party, bring it out and stop disturbing everybody.

Amozever12:
What are u saying? The constitution says u shouldn't participate/ join or have anything to do with political party or politics in ur life, whether past or present?

Which section of the constitution?

These guys enjoyed very sound education under the British. Unfortunately, they couldn’t pass on to the next generation what they got from the British.

Homiesjinxbank:
But dude is life under APC leadership not difficult enough for you?

Life was difficult under the military. Life was difficult under PDP. So, what’s your point again?

Why should Nairaland push threads in support of someone standing trial for criminal offenses to the front page?

Kanu and his supporters should concentrate on his legal defense instead of wasting time trying to push propaganda around. If he’s freed by the court, he will grace the front page. Till then, all propaganda threads shall remain buried in the politics section.

Except they can produce her revalidated APC membership card, they have no point. That she was once a member of APC doesn’t mean she is still a member.

Mama no loose guard at all. She want the INEC job desperately. I no go blame her though, I go deny any impediment if I’m in her shoes.

Nonsense. Soludo remains the candidate of APGA in the coming Anambra governorship election.

FreeIgbos:
This same concerns they raised here also crossed my mind.

Questions begging for answers:
1. Why must Lagos be the permanent Secretariat for Southern governors? Why not make the venues rotational?

2. On whose idea is the meeting being called, Tinubu? Yes, Tinubu is the one pulling the strings through his stooges. Then the question again, to what end? Is this truly a holistic approach to unite South and defend our interest or a selfish move by someone who has lost out but is now trying to use others in getting back to those that humiliated him.

3. He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. If the United front to demand presidency of Southern extraction is a just one, then it has to allocated to the East. Yorubas have no right to accuse others of what they're guilty of too. You can't say that Fulanis/North have had their turn and should stay away only for you that have had your turn too to be desperate in contesting. That's madness. That's double standards.

Why do Igbo folks see Tinubu in everything?

Out of the 17 southern governors that met, only 6 are Yorubas. But somehow, some paid Igbo folks are trying desperately to paint a narrative that Tinubu is the one behind the resolutions. When will southerners stop this divisive rhetorics that has kept us divided for so long?

Apart from the Southern presidency issue, is Tinubu also the brain behind other resolutions such as the rejection of 3% for host communities, rejection of 30% for oil exploration in frontier basins, call on justice, equity and fairness in the administration of criminal justice etc? Truth be told, we must do better in the south than we’re currently doing.

Irrelevant and time wasting debate that would amount to nothing. I still remember how some people celebrated the UK parliament debate on the Endsars protest with the hope that it would lead to section and removal of Buhari. Till today, no sanction.

Judgement after she had been rubbished and disgraced out of office.

DoggoneDogg:
Who is this one again??

Anyway, this is the difference between Kanu & the illiterate Igboho. Nobody knows that Afonja fugitive.

Another scammer that is working with Kanu to dupe and confuse gullible Ipob.

Buksaylor:
Choose your words correctly...Is this idiot a political elite?

A member of the Federal House of Representatives is not a political elite? So, who is a political elite?

Alaigbopress:
He never jumped bail, his house was extra judiciary invaded and he have no option than to save his head. Even an unintelligent Lawyer can easily defend this in a law court

Okay. Now, let’s assume truly that the trial judge asked FG to produce Kanu’s repatriation papers and FG couldn’t provide it, do you guys think she will order the return of Kanu to wherever he was arrested from or what?

The bill is sponsored by Rep. Emeka Chinedu Martins(PDP-Imo).

Our political elites are all the same. When it comes to oppressing the masses and stealing money, there is no difference between APC, PDP, North and South.

Emeka from PDP Imo, Femi from APC Lagos, Mongunu from Bornu and Chinedu from APGA will all join hands together to support this bill without quarreling about party, religion and tribe.

Repatriation paper for a fugitive that jumped bail?

What do you guys smoke over there in the south east? It must be one heck of a nasty joint

I’m glad this project has finally been completed. Kudos to Fashola and those that worked day and night to deliver the project. Hopefully, they can share the excess power if there is any with Mabushi and its environs.

Benue in the bag for the south. Kwara, Plateau, Taraba and Kaduna can be evenly divided. As it stands, a candidate with a United southern support will easily defeat a core north candidate.

“There is no program in place to improve donkey breeding as a practical approach to increasing the national donkey population.

Dear Senate President, since it can be implied from your statement that all animals deserve a special program and legislation to ensure they don’t go extinct, when are you passing a law on goat, chicken, pig, dog, horse, fish, shrimp, tortoise, lizard, camel, snake, hippopotamus, lion, monkey, gorilla, Elephant etc?

Since all animals are equal, these animals also need distinct federal legislations to ensure increase in their national population.

babyfaceafrica:
Are they just waking up?

It’s never too late to do the right thing.

One of the most publicised war crimes committed by the Biafrans occurred when federal troops landed in Calabar in October 1967. About 167 civilians in detention were lined up and executed by Biafran soldiers.

Ojukwu should have been tried at The Hague for war crimes. Gowon was really magnanimous in victory.

deantimes:
So you never knew there are indigenous Igbos in Benue? So he should seek their consent because the Nigerian government merged them to form Benue State?

Igede people in Benue are not Igbo.

However, having watched for the first time these videos where Nnamdi Kanu called Black people wicked (I am Black, but I don’t think I am wicked), and where he described Igbos who refuse to support IPOB as evil, I am flummoxed!

However, the one that shocked me the most was his statement that (and this is an exact quote), “If you are attending a Yoruba church, you should be ashamed of yourself. Anyone who attends a church headed by a Yoruba pastor is an idiot. A complete fool. An slowpoke. I have no time for them. They are worse than Boko Haram. They are very, very foolish. If your pastor is Yoruba, you are not fit to be a human being.”

And the funniest thing is that the pastor who provoked him into making that statement is from Auchi. He is not even Yoruba. No wonder they think I am Yoruba. To these lot, anyone Southerner West of the Niger is Yoruba. They have a majority mindset that is not minority friendly AT ALL.

I don't like Reno quite alright but the part in bold is perfectly true. Examples abound everywhere on Nairaland. Anybody with an opinion that doesn't go down well with Igbos is immediately tagged Afonja. So many South south people have tried to voice out their opinion on Biafra and other topical issues but they get labelled Afonja. That Nnamdi Kanu even planned to conscript people as far as Benue state into his Biafra without consulting them says a lot about his person.

Truth be told, Biafra as being envisaged by Kanu will just be a smaller version of Nigeria. It will descend into a civil war like south Sudan in less than two years with folks like Kanu in charge. Personally, I wont want to be a minority in such a country.

Thursday July 11th? How?

According to my calendar, Thursday is July 8th and July 11th is Sunday.

Ifearnoevil:
It has to do with courts and boundary commission.
Stop giving too much credit to Buhari that he doesn't deserve.tell him to secure his state katsina so that people can go to farm and travel to do their business.the last time I checked, recovering of oil wells is not in his manifesto.

You are just beating around the bush because you don't want to give credit to those that deserve credit. Provide a link to the court judgement that ceded the oil wells to Imo state if you truly know what you are talking about.

Ifearnoevil:
It has nothing to do with Buhari.
Some people are even liking your post.lol
Recovery of oil wells is a rigorous process that have been on going for a long time, that the process came to a closure now doesn't mean that is Buhari.
It's like saying that all court judgements passed since Buhari became president was effected by Buhari.

Can you explain this long and rigorous process and tell us who gave the final approval for the recovery of the wells.

garfield1:
Uba of apc you mean

APC is also having problem now. PDP, APGA and APC may end up not having candidates for the election. So, YPP wins. I’m supporting Charles Soludo by the way. Andy Ubah is a no no for me.

Ifearnoevil:
Where in the report did it state that it was Buhari that returned the oil wells?

So, who returned it? Jonathan?

Dymaco:
What Nigerians did to south east because of oil will never be forgotten. Many south eastern lands were merged to rivers state, cross river and delta. All these is to make sure that they suffer south east.
We have egbema rivers and egbema imo state. Same people, same community and land seceded to rivers because of oil well

And now, it is the much hated Buhari and APC government that is correcting the injustice. Quite ironic considering the hatred Igbos have shown the president and his party.

Las las, na Ifeanyi Uba of YPP go win this Anambra election.
