Politics / Re: Femi Fani-kayode Reacts To Benue Killings - Someone In APC Finally Making Sense by ANOWEDGREAT: 5:20pm On Jan 04, 2018
omenkaLives:
The question I keep asking is, does FFK have more love for the people of Benue state than he does the people of Rivers?

CHRISTIANS observing their Cross Over were brutally massacred in their numbers just four days ago in Rivers state. It made news headlines everywhere. FFK, we know, appears to have appointed himself the spokesman for Christians and Southerners : WHY HASN'T HE COMMENTED ON THE MASSACRE OF THOSE INNOCENT CHRISTIANS IN RIVERS STATE?
.
The Benue people can take care of themselves and don't need elements like FFK or his league of dishevelled hate mongers to nudge them in the right direction. They should keep their stupid politics to themselves while we mourn quietly.

Foolish gargoyle.

Some things on this site probably think I should say things to please them..

The Nigerian government,especially,buhari has a way of getting back at someone whom he found to be of threat or rivalry against him.Chukwuma innocent should becareful with the way he does business with buhari's government because he is a Python dance.You know how Python move slowly when dancing but it is one of the most dangerous snake.W e have witness it happen to many opposition party and individual who oppose his decisions.
*Buhari's government can use their patronage with innoson motor to witch-hunt him.
*They can use their patronage to manipulate him.
*They can use their patronage to set a trap against him.As the case with efcc.
*They can use it to bring down his business.AKA bankrupt.
*His business might be taken over by AMCON.
He should not see his business relationship with the buhari's government as cordial.There is something sinister behind it.


Op ur fears are very real let innoson motors remain alert and not be carried away by this gesture because this is still Nigeria where the north and west have never hidden their evil schemes and policies to make the entire east economically unproductive.

War drums are sounding. Benue capital in lockdown. Mother's. Father's. Uncles. Aunties. Most painful children are been butchered and life brutally sniffed out of them. The presidency is silent. Protesters are gagged and teargassed.

Pain, anguish and unwanton destruction has visited uninvited. For how long shall we thread on the threshold of fear, lawfulness, and smacked pretence of been good citizens when Benue lives/Nigerian lives are cut short at their prime? For how long?

Last year I took a break from Facebook and other social media platforms to concentrate on some writing projects. But the brutal killings harassing my sensibilities have distorted my concentration. Forcing me to come out and refuse this senseless religious cleansing, through words, actions and violence if need be.

Benue lives matter. Nigerian lives matter. Am not sure about Fulani lives at the moment.

Buhari through his silence has demonstrated that he is not the president of the Federal Republic of Nigerian but the defender and protector of the Fulani extraction. His inability to take actions to end this continuous butchering which is seriously endangering the survival of the variety of the Nigerian species has proved beyond doubt my skepticism for his persona.

#LIVESMATTER#BENUELIVESMATTER

With all these killings I don't see this country ever remaining one nation. These pple killed have relations that may become presidents and influential politicians of this nation in the nearest future they too might also want to retaliate these killings and so the cycle continues.

The major reason why your igbo brothers have chosen to invest outside their regions is because they know no viable market exists there. That's is why most of them are in Lagos.

Lagos, whether you like it or not, still remains the largest market hub in Nigeria That is why your brothers have flouted IPOB's order to vacate the region.

Politics / Re: Fulani Herdsmen Killings An Invitation For Civil War - Benue APC Chairman by ANOWEDGREAT: 4:17pm On Jan 03, 2018

@POLITICSNGR

The Benue State chairman of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, Comrade Abba Yaro has described the massive killing of over 50 Benue people by the Fulani herdsmen as an invitation for Civil War.

In a Statement issued in Abuja, Yaro decried the recent killings as an attempt to spark second civil war in Nigeria, insisting that, it is clear case of ethnic cleansing around the Benue Valley which must be stopped immediately.

While calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately call the Fulani to order and as well direct security agents to fetch out the killers, he also called on all Benue Sons and daughters, irrespective of Party affiliation to rise in defence of Benue Community.

"This is above Party politics, it is human lives, how can you kill a pregnant woman and removed the unborn child yet slaughtered it? It is barbaric, unspeakable and generally unpalatable".

Yaro says the Anti Open Grazing Law in Benue is not targeted at any section of the people but for the general security of Benue State, a measure against cattle rustling and a solution to herders/farmers clash.

"The implementation is ongoing and we are in support of our governor, we are not deterred, the Anti Open Grazing Law has come to stay.

"Nigerians should not see the killings as a Benue problem but National crisis, the absence of peace in Benue is an absence of peace in Nigeria.

"We must treat it as a national ethnic cleansing by the Fulanis and collectively pressurize Mr President to put an end to it. If Boko Haram can be defeated, IPOB stopped, Fulani killings can be stopped", he observed.

He further call on the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Buratai, the Interior Minister Lt Gen Danbazau, the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Lawal Daura, the Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris to protect Benue community or "we rise in self-defense, which will amount to the second civil war."

Yaro emphasized that "if the Fulanis are not called to order by the relevant authorities to stop the ethnic cleansing like the lawless Fulanis are doing, Benue people shall take laws into their hands in self-defense".

But the thing is that this group comprises of all Nigerians who are not from the state but for some reason, they are pointing fingers at igbos only.

The group have people from SS, SE, NC, NW and NE. It in not tribal.

Yet they end up singling out igbos.

Don't mind them the Yorubas think they can eat their cake and have it back again. They have frustrated the efforts of the ss and se regions from booming economically and their greedy minds didn't tell them of the strain this will have on the infrastructures of Lagos and the rest of the SW due to mass exodus of pple.
How can only the Lagos seaport be the only port that is functioning in Nigeria amongst numerous ports in the ss and se regions? They haven't seen anything yet in a couple of years from now an Igbo man will be elected as governor of Lagos and Ogun states.

Politics / Re: Buhari Has No Human Side – AIED Rubbishes Documentary On President by ANOWEDGREAT: 8:55am On Dec 26, 2017
limitless777:
The Advocacy for Integrity and Economic Development (AIED) has described the documentary made by the Presidency to show the ‘human side’ of Buhari as an inhuman gesture by the Buhari-led administration.
.

The organization described the documentary as a “spat on the tears of Nigerians” at a time when Nigerians are struggling due to scarcity of fuel, high unemployment rate .
.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by its Deputy Director, Adekoya Boladale, AIED said the timing of the documentary is wrong and distasteful, adding that no documentary will bestow the qualities president buhari does not possess.
.

“The documentary is a spat on the tears of Nigerians who for the last few days have been spending sleepless nights at fuel stations and paying through their nose for black matter rate fuel at 500 naira per litre. Coming at a time when the population of unemployed Nigerians is at an all time high and the means of livelihood is next to impossible, this documentary is distasteful”, it read.
.

“To add salt to an open wound, the Presidency assembled redundant men of questionable characters most who are known signature of corruption to vouch for the President on a trait they lack. Agents and cronies of the President who are benefitting from the systemic corruption and esprit de corps graft activities that have overclouded the presidency.
.

“It is disgusting that a Presidential tenure characterized by state-backed extra judicial killings, blatant disregard for the rule of law, economic decadence and hyper profligacy can engage in image marketing rather than fixing the hell hole it has dragged Nigeria into.
.

In a sane society, the crops of individuals that presently make up the Presidency should have been arrested, tried and jailed for taking the country to a state of chaos.
.

“No amount of documentaries will bestow upon President Buhari the character he doesn’t posses. There is no human side to anyone who care less about the pains and agonies of his people, there is no human side to anyone who does not posses any iota of empathy and certainly, no individual can claim a human side if such individual blatantly defend the murder of thousands of citizens because they had the ‘audacity to tap a General’s chest’.
.

“The true human side of any individual doesn’t require so much shoving in the throat for it to be known. It is self revealing. Evident in deeds, character and posture. All which Buhari does not posses”.
.

Meanwhile,​ Nigerian presidency has
lambasted Nigerians for attacking it over
the film.


In a statement on Sunday, president spokesman, Femi Adesina, said those condemning the idea have no pastime and will complain about God if the​y​ “mistakenly” make heaven.

http://dailypost.ng/2017/12/24/buhari-no-human-side-aied-rubbishes-documentary-president/


As long as this hell on earth that is called Nigeria exists human monsters in the form of buhari will continue to emerge mostly from the core north to torment the rest of Nigerians. The earlier the west and the middle belt regions wake up to the reality of the situation we all found ourselves the better it will be for everyone.
Every reasonable person knows that the core north is the real problem of this country but due to the selfish reasons of some individuals in the South they continue to align with these subhumans and barbarians up north to keep the status quo going.

THE DAY NIGERIANS SIN AGAINST GOD AND JONATHAN

Wale Aburumaku wrote..

When fuel was #120 in January 2012, this people staged several protest on fuel scarcity and increement against Jonathan's Government in 2011, which i joined at Ojota Freedom Park in Lagos, where i recieved the beaten of my life when the men of the Nigerian Army stormed the venue.

The most painful part of it is that, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Wole Soyinka, El'Rofai, Dino Melaye, Bimbo Akintola, Jide Kosoko and all those Nigerians who occupy the streets of Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Nigeria are still alive today when there is fuel scarcity under Buhari, and pump price is even #250-300 in Nigeria, yet no one is talking.

The day Nigeria sin against God collectively was when these greedy fools like Pastor Tunde Bakare paid and lure us to fight against Jonathan because of their evil political offices.

Who Shall We Rely On, and Who Shall Lead To Occupy Nigeria Again ?

They have all suddenly gone deaf and dumb it's has become very obvious that the change they were all clamouring for then was all for personal and tribal reasons not for Nigerians in general.

U have summarized it all the real problem of warri is the Ijaws, uhrobos and the itsekiris who are the three major tribes of the area, there is too much division and mistrust amongst them this was what made gej not to commission and complete the epz gas project which could have provided thousands of jobs for the indigens of the area but infightings amongst them about the real ownership of the land where this project was sited could not make gej to commission it before he left office.

That's if he is strong enough to take a shot at the presidency for a second time. It would be something else, unknown to Nigerians. Because the anti-corruption plank upon which he stood to pull the rug off former President Goodluck Jonathan's foot is weakened and has lost its lustre. President Jonathan's corrupt dealings can now be properly said to be mere stealing, while under Mr. Buhar, corruption is the air the nation breathes.

President Muhammadu Buhari's trump card in 2019 presidential election wouldn't be signposted on the war against corruption. That's if he is strong enough to take a shot at the presidency for a second time. It would be something else, unknown to Nigerians. Because the anti-corruption plank upon which he stood to pull the rug off former President Goodluck Jonathan's foot is weakened and has lost its lustre. President Jonathan's corrupt dealings can now be properly said to be mere stealing, while under Mr. Buhar, corruption is the air the nation breathes.

Dead on economic recovery direction, lack of initiatives on power generation, killing and kidnapping of Nigerians by his Fulani herdsmen, inequality of education, and other woes plaguing the nation, President Buhari has shamed himself as an ethnic potentate whose bigotry is beyond comprehension. Buhari's Presidency which stands on antigraft solo soil has been romanticising with the nation's past and present financial criminals from Northern Nigeria who allegedly sponsored his presidential election to the office where he hopes to prosecute his war against graft!

Nations approach tipping point as a result of unremitting corruption which leads to economic turmoil by fostering staggering poverty and broken economic systems on the people and society and kneecaps a nation’s ability to function.
Again, President Buhari's resistance to restructuring specific power structures and government architectures has provided an easier means for corrupt officials to exploit his government.

The questions on my mind has been since President Buhari has been plagued with delicate health or as a unregenerated military dictator, would that also have eroded his consciousness on key national and international sensitive issues bothering on concrete governance of the country? Did Buhari ever abreast himself with the happenings in Nigeria? Is it deliberate? Is it ethnically motivated?

From investigation, Abdulrasheed Maina alone allegedly contributed N1.8 billion to President Buhari's presidential campaign in 2019, the same Mr. Buhari who was regaling Nigerians with his inability to procure APC N20 million nomination form. If this is real and to be believed, then Nigeria has gone to the dogs. My earlier emotional investment and that of millions of Nigerians who voted for him in like manner, to take the country out of the woods have been truncated in the worst primitive form. Otherwise, how do you explain behind the scenes reinstatement of a dismissed fugitive looter into the public service, millions of naira paid to him while retirees across the country can't receive their minimum N20,000 (two thousand naira) pension on a monthly basis?

On 13th February 2013, the Senate gave President Goodluck a two-day ultimatum within which to sack the Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Mr. Abdulrasheed Maina, from the Federal Civil Service. Mark spoke tough after a debate on a motion entitled, “Dismissal of Mr. Abdulrasheed Maina for refusal to appear before the Senate” sponsored by Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN) and 107 senators, urging Jonathan to sack Maina from the public service.

The Senate then threatened that President Jonathan risked dire consequences if he failed to end Maina’s tenure. Mark declared that the Senate as an institution had been pushed to the wall and could no longer tolerate the insolence of public officials working for the executive. “The executive has to choose between the Senate and Maina. He has crucified himself. If Maina remains, then the Senate would react appropriately. The Senate is not lacking in ideas on what to do. Nobody in this country is bigger than our democracy. I have been extremely patient with Maina so that when we react, they will know that we have been fair,” Mark told his colleagues.

Apparently mindful of the fact that he was sending a message not only to the Villa but also to Nigerians since it was in the full glare of media cameras, Mark threw a challenge to the Police about whether they would be on the side of the law or that of Maina, “This Senate is not going to allow this to linger, if in two days they (Police) have not done anything, we can come here and convene and take a decision. This Senate will bite when it needs to bite, and when we decide to bite, there will be no room for escape. We have been pushed to the wall. The reaction is the correct reaction; no matter the depth of the Maina situation nobody in this country will be left to go free, if he is associated with Maina, no matter who is behind Maina, we are not going to accept it.”

Before then, the Chairman and the Co-Chairman of the Joint Committee, Senators Aloysius Etok and Kabiru Gaya, gave accounts of their experiences with Maina. Gaya said the committee received 7,800 petitions during its assignment and that Maina coordinated the process of mismanaging pension funds.

A literally eviscerated Etok said of Maina, “We called him to account for his stewardship in all the offices he was overseeing. When we exposed some things, he decided not to appear again. Instead of appearing before the committee, he would go on the media, condemning the entire Senate. He said he was not given fair hearing, but when we offered him fair hearing, he refused. He drives two bulletproof cars, in a country where pensioners are hungry. He used N1 billion for jamboree in the name of verification abroad. He spends more than N8 million every two weeks on personal security.”

Maina was one of the supper corrupt individuals for allegedly misappropriating N159 billion of pension funds who sank the graft boat of President Goodluck Jonathan's government in 2015. At the time the Senate was debating him, Maina was being driven around town, including to Aso Rock, in a convoy of several vehicles with a retinue of policemen. It was the one scandal that made many conclude that the Jonathan administration did not ‘give a damn’ about public perception. After his failure to honor numerous invitations by the Senate joint committee, the upper legislative chamber ultimately issued a warrant for Maina’s arrest, prosecution, and sack.

A few days later, the House of Representatives followed suit and endorsed the decision of the Senate for Maina’s arrest and prosecution. The lawmakers said in a motion that the House was “conscious of the need to present a common front with respect to the institutional integrity of the National Assembly” as they were “aware of the need to send a strong signal to the executive arm of the government of the resolve of the national assembly to stop impunity and disregard of due process in the conduct of government business.”

However, President Jonathan eventually caved in and gave the go-ahead for disciplinary action to be taken against Maina, who was dismissed by the Head of Service for absconding from duty and evading arrest. Nothing was heard from Mr. Maina until he was seen in a photograph with President Buhari recently in Aso Rock, which his media aides denied. But Buhari has yet to deny his Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN, twisted a 2013 high court judgment to ensure that Mr. Maina was recalled and promoted by the Federal Civil Service Commission, FCSC.

Mr. Malami had in a letter directed the FCSC to give consequential effect to a judgment he said voided the process that led to Maina’s dismissal from service. In line with the directive, the Ministry of Interior, at its Senior Staff Committee meeting held on June 22, placed reliance on the AGF’s letter and recommended that Maina be reinstated into the Service as Deputy Director on Salary Grade Level 16. Contrary to claim by the AGF that Maina was given clean-bill-of-health by a court of competent jurisdiction, a copy of the judgment made available to the public revealed that the court merely quashed a warrant of arrest that was issued against the former pension boss by the Nigerian Senate. The judgment delivered on March 27, 2013, by Justice Adamu Bello (now retired), of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, only faulted the process that led to the issuance of the warrant of arrest against Maina.

The court never cleared Maina of the allegation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, that he embezzled pension fund to the tune of N2billion. The court, in its judgment, equally did not insulate Maina from EFCC’s investigations. Instead, Justice Bello advised Maina to surrender himself to the authorities investigating the alleged N2 billion fraud.

President Buhari's decision to sack Mr. Maina is ridiculous. He did not sack his interior minister who facilitated this fraud in the Interior Ministry. He did not sack his attorney general or the COS who are all part of this fraud. He ordered the sack of Maina even when he knew that the Civil Service Rule did not give him the powers to sack any civil servant.

To further prove his active connivance as the head of these moral criminals, economic gangsters, Mr. Buhari ordered that MainaGate be investigated and the report submitted to his Chief Of Staff, Abba Kyari, the same Abba Kyari who reportedly masterminded the reinstatement and double promotion of a wanted criminal.

When did Abba Kyari become a saint? This is same Abba Kyari who purportedly collected N500 million from MTN management to mitigate its legal punishment for defrauding Nigerians. While MTN top management staffers who bribed Abba Kyari have been sacked, Abba Kyari remains Buhari's COS. You may wish to ask again why did Buhari refuse to act on the report that indicted his COS? What happened to the report on Mr. Grasscutter who stole millions from IDPs and was even defended by Buhari? What of the Ikoyi Dollars?

Was Zakari Biu, the sacked police commissioner who facilitated the escape of Boko Haram Kabiru Sokoto, not recalled and re-instated? Is the discredited Ibrahim Lamorde not currently serving as a senior police officer? How about Buratai and his Dubai property? What of Abdulrahman Dambazau, Buhari's interior minister, and his U.S mansion?

The 2015 presidential election was not a victory for President Buhari, it was a rejection of President Jonathan's corrupt government. Nigerians wanted a replacement for a girly-girly President who believe stealing is not corruption. President Buhari has turned out to be more corrupt now than his predecessor.

Even at that, Buhari's past can't be separated from his present glorification of corruption. He did not only served the most brutal and corrupt government of Abacha, he equally swore by all the seven gods of Daura that Abacha was not corrupt. This is same Buhari who violated his first campaign promise of publicly declaring his assets. It's only a question of time before Nigeria goes completely downhills as the most intrinsically corrupt country in the world, after Somalia.
