mauchiz: Was it not during Pdp bokoharam started? It was during PDP it started, they could not control it,that is why it has spread and have root,branch and stem. Nigeria government was feeling they can eradicate it,but they could not. Bokoharam came out during the time of Yaradua, that was when they started, then yaraduas became sick and died. USA told Nigeria government that this people were terrorist let them deal with it now they were starting,they refused, today we are still figuring, if you don't win ,they take over the government and islamize the country, that is why they should make a deal now or divide Nigeria,this was how Taliban took over Afghanistan.
Nigeria government can't defeat bokoharam, the earlier we know and make decisions that will favor everyone,the better. Make hay while the sun shines
Apart from terrorism, what else can we not defeat?
- education - electricity - water - law and order applied to everyone? - good roads, railways, water transportation
dettolgel: According to Tinubu "did you see any cow?" "Show us the cow?"
This country has gone to dog shit. I just don't understand how APC managed to even have the nerves to talk about participating in 2027 election after all the damages they have caused.
Who needs nerves when our politicians are queuing up to join A-looter Propaganda Congress, APC?
The politicians allowed to emerge from our tribalistic midst!
Since they have electricity instead of blackouts, they should be happy.
Is this not how we live now, in Stockholm syndrome rationalisation of suffering from failed promises, such as this one by All Promises Cancelled, APC.
anonimi: Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC
January 19, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.
On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.
But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.
It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.

Women in Iran are not killed for not wearing the hijab, and according to Wiki, ''In September 2024... Iran's president Masoud Pezeshkian said that morality police will no longer "bother" women over the wearing of the hijab.''
ALSO, Iran has a small population of 300,000 CHRISTIANS served by 600 churches.
They are not persecuted for their religious beliefs.
SO GO AWAY WITH YOUR PROPAGANDA.
Before September 2024, were the police bothering women over the wearing of hijab?
Since September 2024, have religious people who are not police, continued to bother women for hijab

anonimi: How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals
AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.
Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.
The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.
In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.
He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.
Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.
Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

anonimi: My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola
What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?
At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.
That is Tinubu?
Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.
He wanted to be a commissioner?
Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.
Was Tinubu very close to MKO?
Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.
Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”
Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.
The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.
“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”
Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”

anonimi: Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant
Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT
Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.
Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.
The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.
The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.
The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.
Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.
2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury
Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.
One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.
Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.
ddippset: Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.
Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku. He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.
He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party.. Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.
This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.
He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.

iwaeda: The National Industrial Court of Nigeria sitting in Abuja has ordered officials of a faction of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) currently occupying the union’s national secretariat, including the present management team led by Musiliu Akinsanya, to vacate the office in the Federal Capital Territory.
The judgment also directed the claimants led by Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa to take over the affairs of the union forthwith.
Delivering judgment in Suit No. NICN/ABJ/203/2025 on March 6, 2026, Justice E. D. Subilim held that the defendants and anyone occupying the office through them must immediately vacate the premises and hand over possession to the recognised leadership of the union led by Baruwa.
The claimants in the suit include Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa, Bello Adamu, Eugene Eze Job, Dajuma Saidu, Prince Isah Dahiru Usman, Suleman Adamu, Odion Olaye (JP), Chief Herbert C. Iwuji, and Muhammed Bello Madu.
Others are; Olajide Abideen Abimbola, Lekan Salami Folorunsho, Monday Eleazar, Comrade Chukwudi Asogwa, as well as the National Union of Road Transport Workers.
In the suit, the claimants had approached the court seeking orders restraining the defendants from occupying or parading themselves as officials operating from the union’s national office in Abuja.
Justice Subilim, after reviewing the arguments and evidence presented by the parties, ruled in favour of the claimants and directed the defendants to vacate the union office and cease further occupation of the premises.
The court also ordered the defendants to hand over all property, documents and facilities belonging to the union within the office to the recognised leadership led by the claimants.
It further restrained the defendants and their agents from collecting tickets or fees from union members across the states of the federation.
The judgment is expected to restore control of the union’s Abuja secretariat to the leadership recognised by the court.

chisomkachy: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.
Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.
Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.
The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.
The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.
Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.
The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.
But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.
During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).
The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.
Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.
Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:
“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.
“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”

Also reacting to the judgment, its apparent beneficiary, Senator Sheriff, vowed to put in place a machinery that would not give room to people like Governors Nyesom Wike and Ayodele Fayose of Rivers and Ekiti states, respectively in any future arrangement in the party.
“I will engineer a restructuring of PDP such that characters like Wike and Fayose cannot find a way through to attain any position of prominence in our party in the future. They have brought shame and agony through the application of their crude and godless politics which is at variance with the principles upon which our founding fathers built our great party.
“We must find a way to sieve things so that only men of character and integrity can come through for positions of responsibility at all levels of our political engagement in the country.
“We must urgently steer the ship of PDP clear of the path of infamy which Wike and Fayose has brought our party, making Nigerians to mistaken PDP as a training ground for thugs. That is the urgent task we have. We cannot continue to advertise thug brand and expect Nigerians to take us seriously,” he said.
Atikulated is all about interest! Anywhere belle face!
If Atiku is all about interest and anywhere belle face, UNLIKE your own political idols, then why did he leave Adamawa governorship to be a spare tyre VP for Obasanjo, after bankrolling the rehabilitation of the bankrupt ex-convict in 1998/1999?
SHOCKER: Atiku ‘saved Obasanjo from near bankruptcy’ before 1999
In the book, a copy of which was obtained by TheCable, the authors told of how Obasanjo beat late Alex Ekwueme to the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 1999 election. > > Atiku was reportedly asked to join a team to Ogun to inform Obasanjo that he was going to run for the highest office in the land.
According to the book, “when Atiku and Obasanjo discussed the call to serve as president, Obasanjo said he could not be president because he was a nearly bankrupt ex-convict. Atiku, through General [Aliyu] Gusau, paid money into Obasanjo’s account to begin his financial rehabilitation.
“Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar helped out by granting him an unconditional pardon. Atiku put everything he had at his disposal to support Obasanjo’s emergence as the PDP presidential candidate and, when he joined the ticket as the vice-presidential nominee, continued to make his assets available to Obasanjo and the campaign.
onatisi: i remember very well the role atiku played in making sure tafa balogun the inspector general of police then didnt follow obj orders on lagos state in 2003 .
That was the main reason obj first action after reelection was to punish tafa by first imprisoning him and removing him from office
What was the role of EFCC’s Ribadu in this downfall of IGP Tafa Balogun?
Is this what made Tinubu use Ribadu as ACN candidate in 2011, before calling Buhari expired prior to selling Yoruba votes to Jonathan, as the ultimate political mercenary he is
Mynd44: Must be why Obasanjo made sure he went to jail.
Was Obasanjo president in 2009?
Is the Lagos High Court under the control of the federal government?
Or under the control of the state government, which Tinubu was in charge of after the death of Engineer Funsho Williams made it easier for then political neophyte Fashola to have the chance of continuing city boy’s lootocracy tax master plan for the state
bolaayenimo: Don't forget Bode is an insider in PDP and very close to OBJ
How does this revised tale help or hinder Obasanjo in his quest to deprive Nigerians of the governance acumen of his loyal vice, starting with Baba Iyabo using Iwuruwuru INEC to make incompetent Yar’Adua president in 2007? Governance acumen that laid the foundations of deregulation and privatisation policies for 16 years of PDP widespread prosperity with less corruption, less unemployment, less insecurity, less debt burden etc.
That 2007 election was annulled by Supreme Court’s justice Onnoghen and two others in their minority opinion.
Odin13: Kid Someone in the middle of it all is telling you facts of what happened .. youre doubting.. So let’s hear your version since na you be obasanjo
Let’s be honest where were you 99’
Politics is a game of deception.
Why should being in the middle of it all stop a useless old man from telling lies about what happened, in order to achieve his own agenda
Did this former military governor of Ondo State say this from the exile camp he committed to, since 2023?
Otamendi99: Story. OBJ will never ever consider Atiku as Successor.
He Atiku is so ambitious and greedy. Bode is Old.
If Atiku is so ambitious and greedy, as you say, then why did he not bow to northern pressures in 2003, to make Obasanjo a one term president like Mandela was? 2003 was the first time Buhari asked for the job of president and failed.
Why did he not do that, like Tinubu who made a southern president have only a single term in 2015, and replaced him with a northerner whom he assessed as expired four years earlier?
Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”

bolaayenimo: He allowed Tinubu play him. He is now bitter, attacking Tinubu
Allowed Tinubu play him because tẹwọnde George said so?
Did aspiring dictator Obasanjo allow his loyal vice president to even run in PDP primaries 19 years ago?
Was Atiku not locked out of the party for his leadership of other democratic heroes to kill Baba Iyabo’s 3rd term agenda? Killed the bill despite Ghana must go bags of bribes to federal lawmakers?
Did Obasanjo not try and fail to impeach Atiku and replace his forever loyal VP with Muazu, thereafter?
Tẹwọnde George’s attempt at revisionism is dead before arrival, for those who are not living in blissful ignorance of their own history.
