Wetin consign you? So he shouldn't grab something he's spending money on? Whether he chooses to grab it in secret or public, it's not anybody's biz! You can also go and buy a lady's mind, body, spirit and soul with money.

I hope the ignorant few who think Obaseki is fighting godfatherism can read this.
Honestly I can't remember a politician so scared of competition. Always asking for automatic ticket.
Whether he goes to pdp or remains in apc his tenure will not last a day longer that 4years.

Did Nelson Mandela use prayers to fight apartheid no!
Did Martin Luther King Jr use prayers to fight white supremacy no!
Did the Japanese use prayers to fight the Mongolians no!
Did America and Britain use prayers to defeat the Axis powers(Hitler and co) in the Second World War no!
Keep praying oh maybe "God" will come and fight such rubbish. We are on our own there is no God.

The prayer walk is expected to start at about 10 a.m. and the general overseer and other leaders of the church are expected to lead the procession from the church’s national headquarters in Ebute-Meta, Lagos State.

As if the same ol' politicians wouldn't just go "with their suitcases of selfishness and greed" and join any new parties that are registered!

This piece makes one huge error. It claims "Their breads have been buttered by the gods", when the truth is we are the gods who butter their bread but we just don't seem to understand that!

So long as we keep looking outwards for gods instead of realising that the gods are in their kingdoms within each and everyone of us Nigeria and us Nigerians will only suffer.

O how I wish I could say this in English so it could be understood!!

How I brought RUGA to Abia, by Orji Kalu


THE controversy trailing the aborted establishment of RUGA settlements for Fulani herders in parts of the country may be far from over.

Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, on Friday said that the apprehension being expressed over the plan by the Federal Government to create Fulani settlements for herders under the acronym name of RUGA was misplaced.

He told reporters in Abuja that he established a successful RUGA settlement in Abia State when he was governor of the state in 2001.

The controversial cattle market, he said, is located in Lokpanta, Umunneochi Local Government Area, along Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway.

Anikulhapo:
Kemi Adeosun, minister for finance, says more than half of Nigeria’s value added tax (VAT) comes from Lagos state alone.

Speaking at the parley between the federal government and progressive governors forum (PGF) in Abuja on Tuesday, Adeosun said the 87 percent of Nigeria’s VAT is derived from four states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In other words, only 13 percent of Nigeria’s VAT comes from 32 other states in the federation.

According to her no country in the world with high tax compliance rate is poor, and no rich country has a low tax compliance rate.

“There is no poor country that has a high tax compliance rate, and no rich country that has a low one,” Adeosun said.

Quoting current VAT collection data across Nigeria, the minister said “55% of Nigeria’s VAT is collected in Lagos State. 20% in FCT, 6% in Rivers, 5% in Kano, 1% in Kaduna”.

“I’m hoping that one day Finance Commissioners will stop needing to come to Abuja monthly to share FAAC, because IGR (internally generated revenue) will be sufficient.”

Medicine after death!

It was on the news we were to be on that particular list but trust our clueless government to wait for it...

Never proactive, always reacting like chemicals. Buhari is nor visionary at all!!!

rentAcock:
This is exactly what we need. At the end of the day, we only have one country and we have to do whatever it takes to make it better. So what if we had no visa agreement with the U.S from the beginning, would we be decrying this decision? America feels like Nigeria is a threat to its security and they are protecting themselves. Even though their decision may have racist undertones, it will only make us stronger.

Openbusiness:
How can Buhari government address it When his terrorists killer fulani herdsmen people are the major problem behind the insecurity plaguing this country? This is what happens when you ask Buhari to deal with Nigeria security issues. He disappears to London

traihit:
I think he has a point and it's not about Akwa-Ibom. It's about every state in Nigeria. You yourself said that we have governors who are sons of the soil. If those 'sons of the soil' governors were to be the ones to develop their states, they'd know the areas (which are hidden to the FG) that can boost the economy of their state. That's what a federal system does. The fault is not Buhari's, it's not any governor's, it's the system and it's our faults if we don't pressure our legislatures especially to work on changing that system for good. Our growth will continue to suffer impairment until we're decentralized economically.

The navy needs do a better job defending our maritime domain from illegal fishers as well. They're stealing billions from Nigeria. It would reduce fish imports and lower food prices. If foreigners want to get licensed ok but preference should be given to Nigerians. There's other fishery terminals in Rivers and Ondo that need attention.

This OP is funny

One does not need to be an analyst to know that Sarrki was rooting for PMB because of TINUBU!!!

The moment the handwriting was written on the wall that Tinubu might not smell the presidency as TINUBU had already assured his followers

He (Sarrki) suddenly realises that Buhari is bad

Even though he knew Buhari was bad all along, he (Sarrki) continues to spread falsehood

The cat is finally out of the bag! What do we call people like Sarrki

As for me, it's mission accomplished, Sarrki can now see

Code Of Conduct Tribunal Freed Bola Tinubu In Error – Rotimi Jacobs

Rotimi Jacobs, a senior advocate of Nigeria and the Federal Government prosecuting counsel in the 13 count charge of false assets declaration trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki on Thursday said the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) was misled to discharge former Governor of Lagos State Bola Ahmed Tinubu when he was arraigned before it in November 2011.

Isinweke:
You just realized Buhari have used and dump you

Afonjas never learn.

You knew Buhari can't offer Nigeria what he doesn't have, Buhari failed when he was military head.

You supported Buhari because you thought he would die so Osibanjo could take over, Buhari's health is stronger now you're disappointed and sad.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.

“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.

The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.

While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.

“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”

desmond2pk:
I have read your story over and over again. You are a very selfish person. So if it didn't happen to you personally you would have been shouting upandown that buhari is the best.
You people voted for mainly to spite others.
Why did we say no to buhari?
Neposim was number 1. But you guys believed that it would favor you and your tribe. So let others go to hell.
Its very unfortunate that some people are paying with your lives. Did you remember the case in edo when a vigilante guy was killed by a soldier because he the vigilante arrested a fulani herdman who just took part in robbery ?
That guy has mother, father, and maybe kids. As a vigilante, he volunteered himself to protect others. He was murdered.
Didn't we say it before it happened? What did you people tell us? You called ua names and was ready to kill us if buhari wasn't allowed to rules by Jonathan.
Those who are claiming that buhari has build infratrutures. May his kinsmen kill you and your family members and may buhari build more infrastruture.

frugal:
The fact that he's just seeing what we've seen prior to the 2015 general elections makes him less than smart. When we tell zombies this has nothing to do with bi-partisanship or even tribal, they fume and call us PDP wailers. Smart Nigerians generally don't care where the leader comes from or which religion he belongs to or even political party. Just be a good leader, unite the people and take decisions that are in the interest of the people you're serving.
