fittty: Great! Now we see something positive coming out of these Mods heads instead of the tokonto dike, Tiwa Savage pounding yam and wizkid/davido eating fufu pictures on the front page.. in between how do we donate?

0lumide: Okonjo Iweala kidnapped her own mother.. Don't be deceived!!!

She accused a subsidy cabal and yet she was indicted in the subsidy fraud. So which cabal is going after NOI's mother?

Okonjo Iweala kidnapped her own mother!!

alj harem: not far from the truth, Ok provide a solution for the South westerners and Abokis rather than just criticise.

When will Amosun fix the many dilapidated schhols that are scattered over the state?
Build vocational schools to train technicians who will maintain the hardware that may otherwise rot in a few years?
Provide and pay for QUALITY teachers to produce successful students especially in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)?

Matthew 5:25-26
King James Version (KJV)

25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

jaybee: to okupe, he (and others of his ilk) may do well to read the following sections of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria to further reaffirm his position as a cheap mischief maker.

sections 66(1)h http:///vHoAS ; 107(1)h http:///3rs9Q ; 137(1)i http:///vOkS3 ; 182(1)i http:///m4HqCc ; Part II of the Fifth Schedule http:///L3DNkC

these and many other sections disqualifies the president, legally and morally, from fraternizing with ex-convicts. Okupe is morally bankrupt. he is someone to be watched by right thinking people.

Imagin Rupert Madoff being spotted at the White House! Obama would lose his job in a week!

bigtt76: He said there were so many competing needs and that it was the duty of the government to balance such competing needs and find the most comfortable balance to distribute its resources. ... so building of a 2BN naira banquet hall and 2BN Naira VP house is such a priority that can not be side stepped for the fight against corruption? Shame!

carefreewannabe: Never mind!
You can date a guy without being intimate, without kissing and hugging. Just to get to know each other. During this process you figure out if you want to be with him, sleep with him or nothing at all.

carefreewannabe: Did I say I only DATED three guys? I said I had three relationships. That's a big difference.

HIROSHI: THE NIGERIAN NATION AGAINST GENERAL BUHARI
By Wole SOYINKA

The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order.

Buhari – need one remind anyone - was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry.

Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree. Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of three youths - Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly, one of those three – Ogedengbe - was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international community – religious, civil rights, political, trade unions etc. Buhari and his sidekick and his partner-in-crime, Tunde Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act for one reason and one reason only: to place Nigerians on notice that they were now under an iron, inflexible rule, under governance by fear.

The execution of that youthful innocent – for so he was, since the punishment did not exist at the time of commission - was nothing short of premeditated murder, for which the perpetrators should normally stand trial upon their loss of immunity. Are we truly expected to forget this violation of our entitlement to security as provided under existing laws? And even if our sensibilities have become blunted by succeeding seasons of cruelty and brutality, if power itself had so coarsened the sensibilities also of rulers and corrupted their judgment, what should one rightly expect after they have been rescued from the snare of power” At the very least, a revaluation, leading hopefully to remorse, and its expression to a wronged society. At the very least, such a revaluation should engender reticence, silence. In the case of Buhari, it was the opposite. Since leaving office he has declared in the most categorical terms that he had no regrets over this murder and would do so again.

The crimes of Buhari-Wole Soyinka

GenBuhari: only a fool would believe that CPC rigged with underage voters in the North.
Is CPC in charge of registering voters and why would Buhari chooose to rig in the North where he is very popular already?

ypzilanti: A good chance for an evolution is a change from PDP at central government in 2015. It's the same old Nigerian politicians, and they are all corrupt I know, but it's good for a democracy to change governing parties occasionally.It strengthens the institutions. Also, it will give the opposition a chance to try ex-rulers and prosecute former government officials that have stolen government funds. This will make people in government know they may face the music once they leave office.
