i rebuke you from time to time , perhaps not with this account, your threat of insult is nothing new, even the horse tied to an empty seat is one of my numerous rebuttals and subtle jabs have given you in the past with ways you can use Legislative means to achieve ipob seccession, you can only throw links of image hosting sites about thread littering cyber space with your wailing and repeated images

As a lawyer I read Sagay books but to be honest, the guy is dumb as Fvck when it comes to common sense

so you have sense like this.. wow!! I thought wailing 24/7 wouldn't let you speak facts but you finally did... the only time they go to see their lawmakers is only when they need to beg for money or submit their C.V which he throws into his dustbin.. if we engage our reps on real issues no matter what they would table it n the floor of the house

peeddy:
Wetin concern Futadjallo for this matter nw. And nairalanders are busy liking it not knowing it's a location in Guinea Bissau where River Niger takes it's origin

FrLukas:
Those we need to get out...
First, who are the we? Are you Yoruba now?
Second, y[b]ou need to understand that Yorubas don't need the Igbo to get out of Nigeria.[/b] The Igbo will tell you that they can't make Yorubas their allies because they are "backstabbers". Which is fine because Yorubas haven't said anything about forming allies across the Niger in any way.
Third, does that post of mine sound like I'm antagonizing the Igbos? You Igbo always think criticism of your inept governors or even your people is an insult. You think you are perfect, so there's no room for improvement. Read that post of mine again with a fresh mind. My concern is the Igbo people not dying like Benue people are being killed like children without parents.
Chest beating about who saw what first doesn't arise here.
Fourth, Enugu established forest guards and you think that's the equivalent of the Amotekun wave sweeping the whole of Yorubaland?
Really?
When Fulani herdsmen start killing in Anambra, shebi those forest guards from Enugu will rush to Anambra to protect them, or maybe the Anambra residents will run to Enugu for safety.
But, if you say that's your strategy in Igboland, well, who am I to complain?

What do you say of a situation where someone's husband donates blood and still paid ₦7000. At the end of the day, the woman was delivered of her baby and never needed blood transfusion. Money was not refunded, and donated blood would have used for someone else. This happens in Island Maternity.

Joeboy88:
I donated blood for my sister during delivery.fortunately for us, she put to bed safely and they ended up not using the blood for her.My pain then was that I gave it as a free will donation but it's so painful that the hospital will end up selling the blood & if care isn't taken, it might be sold to someone that has to go borrowing to pay.Pls what is donated free should be give ad free to people in need of it.

The canker worm Tinubu was the first governor to turn state house of assemblies to rubber stamps.

The Lagos state national assembly passed a pension bill for elected officials which included Tinubu.

Under the bill, Lagos is saddled with maintaining Tinubu for the rest of his life on the prevailing full salary a sitting governor is entitled to.

The pension bill for Tinubu also includes choice properties bought and paid for by the state in Abuja, Lagos and abroad.

Tinubu also has the choice of 5 executive cars to be replaced every 5yrs.

Recall also that Tinubu is on record to be the only elected governor in the history of modern democracy to have had 4 deputies in 8yrs!

The man is a rotten egg who spear headed corruption in Nigeria to new levels and the financial bankruptcy of acn states under his leprosy grip is evidence of his systematic kleptomaniac.

Fashola sends dad abroad for medicare
As the crisis rocking the state's health sector worsens
MAY 13, 2012

Ademola Fashola, the father of Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, has been flown to the United States for medical attention for an undisclosed ailment, as the crisis rocking the health sector in the state continues.

The governor's father was said to be accompanied by two doctors from the state, one of who is the Medical Director of Ebute-Metta Health Centre, F. O. Williams.

The governor, on Monday, sacked 788 striking doctors following their failure to respond to queries issued to them to defend the strike action.

The doctors had gone on a three-day warning strike to press for the full implementation of an agreement reached with the state government over an improved salary structure called CONMESS.

A senior official of the state government, who did not want his name published, confirmed that the elder Fashola had been evacuated from the country before the strike.

"I also heard about it but it didn't happen during the ongoing crisis," he said. "I heard that his father had been flown out before the strike started at all."

As at the time of this report, Dr Williams could not be reached as calls made to his mobile phone were unsuccessful.

Following the sacking of the doctors and their subsequent forced eviction from their staff quarters, the state government announced that it has employed 373 substitute doctors into its health system.

The state' Commissioner for Health, Jide Idris, also said more applications have been received from doctors interested in working in state-owned hospitals.

However, checks at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) and some other state-owned hospitals revealed that many of the new doctors were yet to resume; thus jeopardising the fate of hundreds of sick residents.

One of the affected doctors, who also did not want his name published, claimed that the governor once stated, during one of their negotiations, "that he has no need for public hospitals".

"Fashola told us that he doesn't use facilities in state hospitals and that whatever project he carries out there is not for himself," he said.

The doctor also claimed that former Lagos State Governor and Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) chieftain, Bola Tinubu, last year, at a meeting to broker peace between the state government and the doctors, said the state could afford to shut down all its public hospitals.

"Tinubu told us that if his mother fell ill, he could afford to fly her outside the country and even pay the bills if all residents visited private hospitals," he added.

When contacted, Idris confirmed that the governor's father was recently flown abroad, but on a referral from LASUTH. "He was attended to at the teaching hospital; and it was at the teaching hospital that he was referred abroad," he said, while refusing to state the nature of Fashola's ailment.

You saw it last Millenium but the person that saw it yesterday has beaten you to action.
Pressure your governors to do the same so that the East can be safe.
that's the koko.
Innocent people shouldn't die needlessly anymore.
Yorubas have paved the way. Your governors should follow that path boldly and stand up for their people and stop being such wimps.
It's so annoying.

…Govt purchases 260 security vehicles, motorcycles, others, for community policing

Determined to stem the tide of the sudden security challenges in Enugu State and ensure that the state retains its status as one of the most peaceful and safest in the country, the state government yesterday took proactive and far reaching measures aimed at addressing the issues.

In a meeting between Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and members of the State House of Assembly led by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Edward Ubosi, the 17 Local Government Council Chairmen, the Director, Department of State Services (DSS) and all the Security Chiefs of DSS in the council areas, the security body gave update on the ongoing recruitment of 1,700 Forest Guards in the state.

According to the breakdown, 3,963 persons applied for the job; 2,646 were shortlisted and screened; 879 persons had been engaged while the remaining 821 applicants will be screened and engaged in two weeks, bringing the total number to 1,700 Forest Guards.

A source who was privy to the meeting disclosed that the governor and other attendees were very much determined to ensure that recent security challenges in the state were tackled decisively. It was also revealed that they were eager to make sure that the Forest Guards scheme takes its firm footing in the state.

The source added that Enugu State being the first state in the South East geo-political zone to commence the Forest Guards operation after it was approved by the South East Governors Forum, has shown its commitment to the protection of lives and property.

It further disclosed that it was agreed at the meeting that 260 security vehicles should be purchased immediately for the 260 electoral wards in the state, one for each ward. Also agreed was the purchase of 260 motorcycles for security operations, one for each ward, including procurement of communication gadgets to facilitate optimal community policing.

The meeting equally resolved that a Ministry of Security Affairs should be established to coordinate various activities, intelligent gathering and interventions within the new Enugu State security architecture.

It was equally gathered that other far reaching decisions were taken to consolidate the security operations in the state and ensure that Forest Guards scheme commences in earnest.

JUST IN!!! Members Of Enugu State Forest Guards Rescue Kidnap Victims

A security outfit constituted by the Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to safeguard farmlands and rid forests of criminal elements has rescued kidnapped victims.

Igbere TV recalls that on Saturday, about 11pm, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairperson of Igbo-Etiti LGA, Nkechi Ugwuoju, was abducted along with her son and driver at Agu-Ekwegbe, along Opi-Nike Road in Igbo Etiti LGA of Enugu State.

Igbere TV gathered that they were kidnapped by a five-man armed gang, comprising four suspected herdsmen and an Ibo native, who were armed with AK 47 rifles and other dangerous weapons.

On 22nd December 2019, about 12noon, members of the Forest Guards acting on a tip off, trailed the bandits to the forest and bravery engaged them in a gun battle. The bandits escaped with bullet wounds while abandoning their victims, a bag containing their personal effects and a cutlass.

According to the State Coordinator of the Forest Guards, Chief Obodoechi, the kidnap victims were subsequently rescued unhurt and handed over to the Police (Anti-Kidnap Unit) together with the items recovered for further investigation.

The State Coordinator appreciated the State Governor, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who has again graciously approved the recruitment of additional 300 guards by the DSS to strengthen the identified flash points in the State, while those guards recruited in the Urban areas are to be redeployed accordingly. He further reiterated that the Forest Guards was solely created to assist the Police and sister agencies in their internal security efforts.

Meanwhile, the rescued victims who were unhurt have reunited with their families.

One of the victims, Hon. Nkechi Ugwuoju, thanked the State Government for saving their lives by creating such visionary security outfit to compliment the untiring efforts of the conventional security forces operating in the States.

Season's Greetings From All Of Us At Igbere TV. Africa's No1 Community TV.

El-Rufai - It's Time to Restructure Nation
10 AUGUST 2010

For Nigeria to move to the next level, the issue of true federalism must be addressed, according to former FCT Minister, Malam Nasir El-Rufai. He shares his thoughts with Imam Imam.

Apprehension about the composition and workability of the Nigerian nation-state will subside if the country tilts towards true federalism, according to former FCT Minister, Malam Nasir El-Rufai. He said the present situation of things where all the component units get monthly allocations from the Federal Government only makes the states lazy and unproductive, adding that lack of foresight, financial discipline and lackadaisical approach to governance has played huge roles in limiting the country's march to greatness.

Many Of Those Calling For Restructuring Are Opportunists, Irresponsible – El-Rufai

The Kaduna State Governor, El-Rufai has described recent calls for the restructuring of Nigeria as political opportunism and irresponsibility.

El-Rufai, while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily said President Buhari’s administration has done far more in practical terms than past administrations and that many of those calling for a restructuring rather see it as a means of opportunism.

He stated that some of the practical steps taken towards restructuring included the fact that state governors are now more than ever, involved in economic policy making at the national level.

According to him, things that have always been hidden from state governments are now much more open as they are now more involved in investigations of finances of the excess crude account, among other things.

“We meet every month under the auspice of the National Economic Council and working together with the Federal Government we chart directions of economic policy and that is part of shifting the federal- state balance.

“A lot of the talk about political restructuring is political opportunism and irresponsibility in my opinion

“It is popular and people that have presidential aspirations think there is a platform upon which they will exploit this. As I said, if you look at the APC manifesto, all the elements to divulge power to the state to change the balance in the federation are there and we are committed to that as a party.

“The National Chairman of our party will restate that commitment and we are discussing it and as I said President Buhari and Osinbajo’s government has taken very concrete steps rather than rhetoric to actually move in that direction and we are going to move in that direction but we do not believe that the basis for it is rhetoric and opportunism, we do not believe that the 2014 CONFAB report is a sensible basis to even begin.

“We all know the circumstances in which the so-called CONFAB was put together, we all know the composition, how lopsided it was, how important stakeholders were not taken to account, how even the composition and numbers do not reflect the demographics and the diversity of this country and we took a position as a party not to participate but to encourage our state governors to be there at the table.”

Buhari reveals how APC won Osun governorship with ‘remote control’

President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, while appealing to traditional rulers in Osun State to support his reelection to enable his administration consolidate on its achievements, revealed that APC was able to win the state’s governorship election held months back with the aid of remove control.

Buhari, who failed to provide details of what he meant by remote control, said: “I know how much trouble we had in the last election here. I know by remote control through so many sources how we managed to maintain the party (APC) in power in this state.”
