Beverlyjean:
I only pity this guy... Nigeria ain't worth fighting for... Buhari will complete his tenure and another northerner will take over and still nothing will happen... That's the Nigeria that the British created... Divide and rule...the oldest trick in the book of politics

Paxie55:
He's indeed brave. I hope he gets the support of his people.

namio10:
Divide the country. It's beyond repair.

It's no point some of us in south of Nigeria to be behaving like passengers clutching tight to a sinking ship because the ship is carrying valuables.

You don't want to escape from the sinking ship, you block others from escaping from the sinking ship

The richest countries in the world have no cruse oil.

I don't understand why these aspirants keep listening to bad advice. You've lost, accept your fate. If them like, make them carry the hearings go Abuja, you've just niyeh. By the way, I saw Atiku's picture some days ago, the guy is reducing in weight. He's yet to recover from the shock he experienced during the last general election.

nigerianvenom:
I was touched during the 2011 general election.why was i touched?I was touched by our former head of state;Major general Buhari popularly called General Buhari.

why on earth did buhari cried?
he claimed he cried because of poor governance and the decayed in infrastructural development,but i laughed because i knew it was a crocodile tears or maybe a cosmetic tears?

why didbuhari not cried when he ordered the illegal killing of the 3 young boys who committed crimes not punishable by death as at then according to prof wole soyinka?

why did Buhari not cried when he plot a coup that led to the elimination of a democratically elected government and then he placed himself at the exalted position.
why did buhari not cried when he sent ekwueme the then vice president of nigeria to kirikiri prison while the then president he "awarded" him with a house arrest?

why did buhari not cried when he ordered that no media should write any negative news against the FG to avoid arrest and possibly-dead?

why did "saint" buhari not cried when he illegal sneaked in boxes containing billions of dollars and using an emir as a proxy?

buhari failed to cry when IBB annulled june 12 election,why?he failed to cry when he witnessed the torment abacha made abiola and kudirat(RIP) went through.

why did buhari honoured an invitation to serve in such a crime trade one government under abacha??

Why did buhari not cried when dele giwa was murdered in 1986?

why did buhari not cried when his vice presidential candidate,chuba okadigbo was murdered via a poisonous teargas during the 2003 presidential campaign?

up until now,buhari hasnt cried for the missing chibok girls,he hasnt cried for the christians bombed in the north,but he his preparing his written tears come 2015.

Jayslicky:
I am glad Nigerians voted buhari, if not people would have been complaining that buhari would have moved this country forward, when we say buhari is a clueless person and only encourages violence they would say you are hating. I would rather vote a little child as president than vote buhari, buhari is a failure and will always be a failure.

Contrary to what mischief makers and OBJ detractors would like the Nigerian public to believe the truth is finally out:

As the House of Representatives continues to dilly-dally over its power probe report,  fresh facts emerged in Abuja on Tuesday that contrary to claim that about $13 billion was squandered by the Obasanjo administration on the power sector, only about $3.08 billion was actually expended.
This indication was from a summary presentation on the National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) presented to the National Economic Council (NEC) by the Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State.
Suswam, on behalf  of the Presidential Review Panel on the NIPP set up by the NEC, said the panel found that as at 2007, total project allocations/ estimates to NIPP was $10.231 billion inclusive of the $2 billion Federal Government counterpart funding for Mambilla Hydro Power project and $1.4 billion for additional nine turbines.
According to Suswam, out of these commitments, only $3.08 billion was funded and scrutinised with advance payment guarantees from “first class” Nigerian banks and Letters of Credits issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). He said over $1.5 billion of the sum is still in the custody of the banks.
The report also said there is an ongoing comprehensive review exercise taking place to determine the most up-to-date estimates of costs to complete the project. This is in view of the cost over runs arising from over 18 months of delay and stall in funding.
Suswam, in his report, also identified intermittency and stoppage of funds as among the factors that helped to frustrate the implementation.
Lack of thorough feasibility studies was also fingered as being responsible for the several challenges of the project in the area of transportation, water supply and transmission connections to the sites.
There was also what the report called “slow pace of surveys, enumeration work and payment to land owners has impacted on site development. The project also lacked clear and defined ownership structure/agreed responsibilities and it has resulted in a dis-jointed and uncoordinated project implementation”.
For a new approach in the project, Suswam advocated the need to undertake comprehensive studies of the project strengths and weaknesses as well as rekindle federal and state governments’ interests in the project as shareholders on the investment.
He underscored the importance of good funding to complete the projects in order to realise the full value.
The report also recommended that the project should be executed under a new management structure and pragmatic and dynamic implementation scheme and efforts should be made to eliminate project bottlenecks through stakeholders’ participation.
The report said after due deliberations, the committee  agreed that completing the project as initiated is the right way to go as it would be the only sure way to improve Nigeria’s power supply logjam and free its citizenry and businesses from the shackles of darkness.
On the funding procedure henceforth, the committee recommended that $5.237 billion be provided through the interaction/cooperation of the federal and state governments.
The committee also suggested the legitimising of fund allocations from the Excess Crude Savings Account by securing appropriations by the National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly.
Among the terms of reference of the panel headed by Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan and governors drawn from the six geo-political zones as members included how to meet the 6000mw estimated by the government by 2009 and to recommend appropriate utilisation of government’s $5.3 billion.
Yar’Adua had last year ignited the debate when he disclosed that over $10 billion was spent on power by the previous administration with nothing to show for it.
The Speaker of the House Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, followed suit by saying the sum was over $16 billion, while the House power probe committee Chairman, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, gave a figure of $13 billion.
Almost one year after the motion for the probe was moved by the House Minority Leader, Hon Ali Ndume, the report is yet to be debated many months after it was submitted by the committee.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) filed fresh charges against Senate and House of Representatives Chairmen Committee on Power, Senator Nicholas Ugbane, Ndudi Elumelu in connection with the alleged N5.2 billion contracts scam in the Rural Electrification Agency (REA).

The 158 fresh charges were filed at the Federal High Court, Maitama in Abuja. Twenty one corporate bodies allegedly used to siphon the funds will be arraigned with the suspects. The charges border on money laundering and embezzlement of funds.

With this latest development, Elumelu and the other suspects will be facing two separate trials on a total of 315 count charge in connection with the REA scam.

On Monday, Justice Adebukola Banjoko of the Federal High Court, Gudu granted Elumelu and nine others bail on conditions that they provide N50 million bond, two sureties each in like sum and provide proof of three years tax clearance.

Daily Trust gathered that the suspects will not be released until they satisfy the conditions for bail.

“We have to go to the banks to ensure that the sureties who sign are indeed who they claim they are, we will go to the FIRS to verify their tax clearances.

When they bring their Certificates of Occupancy we will go to AEGIS to ensure they are authentic,” a source said.

According to the source the companies are being joined in this law suit because “when a prima facie case is established against a suspect the instruments used in the crime are culpable.”

The source said, “In this other trial they will have to be sent to prison again and if they are granted bail they will have to come up with different sureties and we intend to arraign them before Friday.”

EFCC’s Spokesman, Femi Babafemi declined comment on the matter.

This just has to stop. I asked for Sorwore's strategy nobody came up with any response.
Just revolution!
Go to Abia state and see the street TA Oriji acquired as governor. Rochas and family now owns almost 30% of IMO state township......if not more.
I remember when during military administration, public office holders had to go hide their personal vehicles because military wanted to cleanse the system ( a facade because the what these military guys stole then, their family still enjoy till date).
My idea of revolution is to banish these fools from the lad, convert their illegally acquired properties to public use.....transfer ownership of assess ( a bit similar to what Mugabe did) but this time from a thief to a well deserved person!

Angelfrost:
Forget those misguided and lost ethnic bigots... I'm talking about full British citizens (born and raised). Why term them Africans when they are caught in the negative? Yet you hand out British accolades when they bring forth National honours... That's double standards and hypocrisy.

Angelfrost:
Y'all always remember they are Africans when they commit evil... But, when they excel, they are British...

God forbid that Tammy and Dele commit crimes, you will then hear reporters terming them "UK-born Nigerians"... Smh.

ElsonMorali:
Wrong.

First, fornication is different from adultery. Learn the difference.

Second, the child's relationship with God shouldn't be truncated because his mother had him outside of wedlock.

Third, learn the rules for baptism by the Catholic church which has subsisted for close to two thousand years now. I'm sure they don't need the freelance opinion on why they should change their two thousand year old practice that has served them well enough.
