Maxymilliano: Major Al-Mustapha was incarcerated on the order of the court and tried by the Lagos State government, why bringing the name of the President into what you clearly don't know about

Abeg nor mind all these pepole with their tombo bar psychology- everything na shoeless Jona dem must blame.
Small time if dem joystick nor fit tanda for attention dem go sey na the current tenant for Aso Rock na im do am.
Wonders, wonders and more wonders from people whose heads are more a decoration than a functioning tool.

I guess they are looking at it from the way they operate- interfering into other people's/institution's constitutional role because they have power. That was the way OBJoke operated and the Jagabandit also.

taharqa2: Fashola developed this model?? So he 'developed' it and others are now stealing d model, abi? Lawd have mercy!! Have you ever heard of d IPP serving, I bliv, d 3 Arms Zone and environs in Abuja, designd by Prof Nnaji's company? Do you know when its construction start and how long ago it started operations? Do you know how many such Location-specific IPPs we have all over Nigeria (industries, other Private concerns, etc)?? IGNORAMUS.....@topic, Good development

Thanks for the highlighted portion.
Most of us don't seem to realise that all these "location-specific" IPPs are glorified generators. Maybe super-sized but still generators nonetheless.
The bottom line is that every i-better-pass-my-neighbour na INDEPENBENT Power Producer!!!

[quote author=Yoshi-Master]"The IPP, when eventually ratified, would be powered by gas and the capacity would be 30 KVA for each of the airports and when completed the projects would be primary power supply to the airports while the present power project almost completed at the Lagos airport would provide secondary power supply during the maintenance of the IPP and other planned interruptions."


Just 30KVA? isn't that too small?

Thought an airport would need more power.[/quote]I wander when we will learn to resolve our problems in a WHOLISTIC manner.
What is all this noise about installing some heavy duty generators for dedicated places rather than build up the national system with massive PROPER power PLANTS

BTW, Is this what Oando will do with their proceeds from the 20% paid by Fashola for gas cylinders to Lagos residents:

MISPLACED priorities!!!

yemmy19: Mr grammarian,u beta change d legible to eligible before dem start to dey quote u

I think he used LEGIBLE deliberately to draw attention to the fact that the so-called agreement being referred to is NOT written hence cannot be read i.e. NOT legible.
Very good play on words, I think.

solomon111: Gej released al-mustapha?
When did Gej became the judiciary?
And btw,who told you that Al-mustapha will remain in the military?

Nor mind the 123 person. Maybe na that and ABC im sabi only.
When will we learn to be a nation of laws
When will we stop calling the police, army, navy, air force, fire brigade, KAI and any other uniform person to harrass those who have infringed our rights rather than resort to the law courts?
In short when will we STOP behaving as we are still living in the jungle, hanging from one tree and jumping to another?

This is what Obama had to say concerning a rather unpopular judgement on Trayvor Martins case:

"But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken."

No wonder our able bodied men and brightest brains are fleeing in droves to these countries that have left the ways of the JUNGLE behind them longest time ago.

chelseaguy: I don't have any against Tinubu because it is good politics to disrupt and eventually destroy your biggest opponent. Unfortunately, Governor Amaechi is going to be the biggest loser in this fight he instigated. His arrogance can't make him see that he's just a tool.

Just as Edward Snowden the young American hacker who leaked CIA secrets because he feared for breach of democracy by the US government is now seeking asylum with Vladimir Putin's Russia.
That is clearly a case of jumping from frying pan into fire.
He has turned himself into a pawn for the international players to toss around.

Born LOSERS!!!

na wah oh.
See pot calling kettle black.
Of all people

I personally doubt this news very much.
What is Yerima's political weight in the north and with muslims compared to others in the same voting bloc

BTW, is this Yerima not the former CBN staff member who became governor of Zamfara state?
Don't ask me how he got money for his governorship campaign please!
The man who started Sharia as the arrowhead of the north's response to OBJoke's presidency?
And married the 13 year old Egyptian daughter of his driver?
Who defended the marriage by saying Prophet Muhammed also married a 9 year old girl?
What manner of role model, you may ask

Anyway if shoeless Jona estimates that Yerima has SUBSTANTIAL political value he is free to go ahead just as MKO Abiola and OBJoke did earlier. They prostrated to Shehu Musa Yar'Adua and Atiku respectively to secure their presidential tickets.
GEJ did similar thing with the BATman hours before the 2011 elections to secure the south west votes. So nothing particularly new.

demsy21: compare it for urself do u know calculation ? and we are talking about a 10lanes road that will link 2 major capital state now u making propaganda with a simple road...

Abeg leave dem propaganda alone oh.
Let them continue PHYSICAL projects as a means of chopping our money while the workers are not paid their FULL salary with inadequate attention on the SOFTWARE that is needed to work the hardware of all these otherwise laudable projects.
This is just for the launch of the construction, right? What shall we do when the road is finally finished?

BTW, how many free train rides has Ogbeni organised after the media-blitz of some years ago with Jonathan's revived railways

oxford: this must be a joke. When dino was beaten blue black in the house of rep, did the heavens fall? Abeg make i hear word.

He probably think we have forgotten so soon:

https://www.nairaland.com/467287/house-reps-show-shame-watch

drnoel: According to the press release signed by the Executive Secretary of the group, Mr. Dino Melaye, [also a onetime lawmaker of the House of Representatives] titled, “Touch Amaechi, touch Nigeria” – the group chastised the President’s involvement in the unfolding crisis in Rivers State while warning that the life of the Governor of Rivers State remain in the hands of the Mr. President and his wife.

This IRRESPONSIBLE man doing what he knows best- profiteering from emotions and current events for his own benefit.
Does anyone know how many laws he made in the NASS?
Has he refunded the EXCESS salaries and allowances he collected as a legisLOOTER
Is the CORRUPT man paying his child's upkeep with the actress he abandoned?

E ni ba ma da aso fun ni, ti orun re ni a koko nwo- you go first look the dress of the person wey wan dash you cloth!!!

BabaOlowo: This is so unfortunate but WS should have seen this coming. We warned him against campaigning for Jonathan when Y'adua was sick, he did not listen, we warned him when PEJ was made a Perm Sec, that she did not deserve it, he said we were wrong, so why is he disappointed now that PEJ has now turned against him?

Some people obviously have a very short memory.
I hope Oga Jona finds the balls to curtail his wife or divorce her if she refuses to be an asset to him but chooses to remain a liability for his political fortunes.
#NuffSaid!!!

Billionaires: I can not respond to you young lady, I am not Wole Soyinka who is trash to me. All I can ask you to do for me is to come suck my nut sac. I need some b.l.ow job this weekend, sweerie!

This from someone who was whining and complaining about WS calling a specific woman a "mere dpmestic appendage" is callous HYPOCRISY.

Billionaires: Wole Soyinka held a world press conference, just to insult women, by calling them "MERE DOMESTIC APPENDAGE", all successful men know that its their wives thats their support system, both emotionally and sexually, MKO knew enough to respect his wives, but Wole Soyinka has been misguided by Sango that he worships.

Don't you know the difference between singular and plural anymore or what

Longeria: you are a fool by comparing patient with Winnie Mandela. The woman Mandela caught pant down with small boy, didn't Mandela dump her?

I used the word MISBEHAVIOUR (such as PEJ is displaying repeatedly) and not adultery that you are referring to.
Do you understand the difference

Delafruita: rogers was not a federal government witness.he was a prosecution witness the prosecutior been the lagos state attorney-general's office.

Thanks for this clarification otherwise people will soon start blaming shoeless Jona as usual.

Does anyone know what exactly GEJ will lose if he sacks his Madame umblera
She will probably make the record as the first First Lady to be divorced just as Nelson Mandela did for Winnie and his goodwill remained not only intact but got better with his fresh marriage to Graca Machel, the graceful former 1st Lady of Angola.

Over to you, Oga Jona- show us you have some real balls.

The previously shoeless Jonathan is well advised to seriously caution his rascally wife.
Her acts of commission and ommission are doing more damage than good for his person.
He may have to consider the Nelson-Winnie Mandela solution if she continues MISBEHAVING.
Marriage life nor be by force especially when the partner is proving to be more of a liability than an asset.

The false story that was celebrated by the propaganda crew of the opposition has been refuted by the REAL Transparency INTERNATIONAL:

@ op,

Is your friend a professional?
Does he add value to his clients (or those of the company or organisation he works for) based on his professional service to them?
If answer to above questions is YES, why will he not want the value added services of a professional for his investments

[quote author=AB$I]500,000 naira my a.r.s.e.

Can we expect you to give them much more and ask the family to return the 500k to Daily Need

BTW, I thought Fashola being the "best ever administrator" would guarantee free and COMPULSORY education for ALL children in Lagos state.
I guess it says a lot about the CREDIBILITY of his expressed wish to be a teacher after 2015 in his VAIN attempt to demonstrate the high value he places on education.

HYPOCRITES!!!

Horus: The Government in Nigeria is the innocent mirror of the nation. The quality of government and its leaders, is simply a reflection of the collective consciousness of all the people in Nigeria. In some instances, leaders who came to power as the champions of anti-corruption have themselves been charged with being involved with levels of corruption even more serious than those of their predecessors. If the collective consciousness in Nigeria is disintegrated and negative, and people are not behaving in accord with Natural Law, then problems and corruption will be an unavoidable phenomenon of government. If, on the other hand, the collective consciousness in Nigeria is positive, integrated, and coherent, then the government will not be influenced by any negativity. If the people in Nigeria wish to be protected from corruption in government, then they must create an integrated collective consciousness. Positivity and harmony should be so strong and dense in national consciousness that negative influences cannot penetrate it.

Thanks for putting it so well.
Those who point to Jonathan alone should ask themselves how many bribes they have offered and received this week alone as well as how many people they know who live above their LEGITIMATE salary and allowance without telling them anything.
You want Nigeria's rating to improve
Start with yourself and your relations, friends & neighbours.

1MCN: I watched the live proceeding of the session on the tv and I was shocked with the way the Senator made that allegation in a very reprehensibly irresponsible manner even when he hadn't substantive prove for his claim.
But, anyway, our democracy is evolving (I still thank the administration in power for allowing so much public stakeholder participation and not attempting to muffle contrary views and opinions). Now our leaders are learning that things must be done transparently and that they're accountable to some people out there. Let the metamorphosis go on, with all the hysteria and endothermic effects it generates (apologies to Physics scholars for using their terms).

The highlighted portion is why Jonathan is way better than OBJoke etc who INTERVENE in every small thing rather than allow our democracy evolve.
Those who like their AUTOCRATIC, baba sope leaders confound this good attitude as weakness.
SMH!!!

[quote author=geeky_babe]Seriously, I keep wondering where people get this 'fayemi is working' crap. Its so obvious dat most people who claim to be ekiti people especially here on NL don't live in Ado, or visit frequently. Pple just get stuff from all dis online blogs and make up story, and fayemi is just so good with his PR and journalists. Always put himself in d news tru cheap publicity.I was born, bred, and I live in Ado Ekiti. Besides the construction of roads, there is nothing else he is doing in ekiti. Fayemi is a wasteful governor.
I. Spending d millions to build a new govt house on top of d mountain, whereas fayose just built d present govt house not up to 5years.
2. Wastes so much money on parties, burials, and unnecesry gatherings
3. He has no originality. He copies everything from aregbe and his other APC governors
4. He's bn so inhuman to teachers, local govt workers and health workers. The teaching hospital was better b4 he came.
5. The university (EKSU) has bn goin tru a lot of stress lately because of how he cut their allocation. Imagine merging 3 universities and then claiming that there is not enof money to manage d 1 he merged them to. Whereas dis universities were all doing fine b4 he came and merged them. He is now asking students to pay money anytime they like forgetting that it takes a lot of money to run a university.
6. Removed so many allowances from the EKSU lecturers salary, all in d name of their is no money. and yet, u keep wondering where all d money is going. Where as he is harnessing money for his election campaigns.

Come to Ekiti and ask the average taxi driver, or the market woman. Nobody is ready to vote for him again. Besides, if I know my ekiti people well, we CANNOT allow anyone rule a second time. Even FAYOSE with all d love he had can't win a second time.
Fayemi feels threatened. Dats why ACN/APC is doing all dis. MOB, deserves a right to primaries. APC can't win in Ekiti in 2014.[/quote]

smartchoice: He has refused to pay the State Scholarship and Bursary awards since his inception 3 years ago. Yet he's doubled tuition fees increased taxes! Though he promised to reduce EKSU tuition fees on his swearing in but alas the opposite is the case.
the teacher's salary increment he's also withdrawn which Segun Oni had been paying in full just like the Scholarship on merit!
He's collapsed the two state universities into one citing lack of funds. Yet he's building a private university in Ghana! While the citizens lack employment at home!
he's borrowed a record amount of 27billion naira with nothing commensurate to show for it. People say roads yes he resurfaced roads
already created by Oni and Fayose!

Where is the borrowed 27 billion?
the teaching hospital is a death center! A trip to the maternity section will convince you.

Interesting revelations

Is there an ELIZADE:

- Primary school
- Secondary school
- Vocational school
- Technical college

Why do we black people want to start development from the top always
The engineers that will be produced by this university will work with which technicians and artisans produced by which vocational schools and technical colleges?
Why did the established religious bodies of old build primary and secondary schools with subsidised fees that gave our country a robust body of educated people

MPs' Pay: Watchdog To Propose Rise To £75,000

MPs can expect a major public backlash later when proposals to give them a pay rise of up to £10,000 are unveiled.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) is expected to propose a rise to around £75,000, but recommend a crackdown on MPs' perks such as claiming dinners on expenses.

The MPs' existing final salary pension scheme is also set to be downgraded to a career average system, clawing back some of the millions of pounds in extra salary.

Ipsa chief Sir Ian Kennedy is likely to argue that overall the new package will only be a few hundred thousand pounds a year more costly for the public purse.

But the prospect of an inflation-busting pay rise for MPs is certain to spark public fury with memories of the 2009 expenses scandal still fresh in many voters' memories and millions of workers facing austerity measures.

It will also be condemned by leaders of trade unions whose members have been subject to a pay freeze or a 1% cap in pay rises that has been imposed on most public sector workers.

Already, David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg have urged restraint and are widely expected to reject the extra cash themselves and urge their backbenchers to do the same.

However, they would need to change the law to prevent Ipsa pushing the rise through, and such a move may run into trouble, since many backbenchers believe they are underpaid.

Few MPs, however, are prepared to argue publicly for a big pay rise. And the Government Chief Whip, Sir George Young, this week ordered Conservative MPs not to respond to a Sky News survey.

Among those who did respond was one veteran Labour MP who said Sir Ian's package was "deliberately provocative". Another Labour MP said: "Whatever we do is wrong."

One Tory ex-minister said he would not accept the proposed pay rise. But a former Conservative Cabinet minister told Sky News setting pay too low would mean that only the rich could afford to stand for Parliament.

The proposals being unveiled are expected to see a 12% rise from the current level of £66,000, to take effect after the general election in 2015.

But £15 expenses available for dinner when the House sits beyond 7.30pm will be scrapped - saving hundreds of thousands of pounds a year.

There could also be tighter rules on using taxis and restrictions on claiming running costs for second homes such as contents insurance.

The notorious "golden goodbye" resettlement grants of up to £65,000 that used to be handed to departing MPs will not be brought back.

Instead, MPs defeated at an election could be entitled to redundancy similar to other public sector organisations.

The proposals will go out for consultation before Ipsa finalises the arrangements in the autumn.

A senior Labour source said: "Our view is clear that any decision about MPs' pay must reflect wider economic circumstances and what is happening in the rest of the public sector.

"It must be consistent with what is happening to nurses, teachers and others in the public sector as well as conditions in the private sector."
