RIP sir.

hw buhari take affect this one

Buhari is the chief Security Officer of the country.
Heck, he even controls the police. We have no state police. The governor cannot even order the police commissioner if the presidency says otherwise.

That is why presidents/Prime Ministers in serious countries quickly return home from abroad to quell crises.

Of course such people are not shameless and idiotic to seek treatment abroad.

This APC lead government has failed in their promise to bring back the chibok girls, now they are trying to shift the blame. Its obvious they have run out of ideas.
They should just forget about their propaganda and let the acting president do a better job. the man seems to have direction, at least his body language says so.

My brother I tire o.

The three months they promised never reach?

If they have any shame, the Chibok girls promise is one major reason they were voted in.
So why keep going back to a President who left office almost two years ago?

They quickly forget that Chibok girls spent 23 months in captivity under Jonathan. The girls have now spent 22 months already in captivity under Buhari.

It was even weapon bought by GEJ that was used to fight Boko to the point the few rescued ones could be rescued.
They also forget that the international/regional army put together by GEJ (which Buhari criticised seriously then but ended up using them) had seriously beaten Boko Haram as of May 29th 2015.

Lies will never triumph over truth.

Ibadan?

I give up

They are doing Federal Character thing.
Warri
Benin
PH

.............and other SS cities follow.
Lagos is the place many 15 years old kids cannot speak pidgin. Seen many.

Even the fluent pidgin speakers of Lagos are mostly from SS/SE/NC. With exposure to these people some Yoruba Lagosians improve their pidgin.


Lots of teenagers from Osun, Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo who come to Lagos cannot speak good pidgin initially. Some never really master it. They understand it well though.

SE people also improve their pidgin outside SE. Because they travel widely, they usually master it quickly.

Pidgin should be an official language.

Europeans/Americans and others should come and be learning Pidgin from us.
.

Typo.

What they did is pure evil.

But the headline is misleading.

Their ringleader's name does not sound Hausa/Fulani to me.

This is more of interregional collabo.

kingphilip:
They're not serious yet in combating the trend

If not they'll leave their borders open for people to come in and make money by giving birth even to 22 kids

Although they will not admit it, they actually want indigenous population to grow.

Not new babies called Efe, Osaze, Kunle, Bola, Iniebong, Emeka, Adaeze, Danladi, Aishatu or such.

ALWAYS HOLD YOUR PHONE ON YOUR HAND. VERY IMPORTANT FOR JJC,s !!!

Even your hand nor safe sef. In a crowd (and it is endless in Lagos) they can still snatch it.

The salary is nothing. Other corner corner deals are far more than 122k.

If one day you rise to position of those in charge of destroying old Naira currency, ol' boy. You have a money printing machine in your bedroom be dat.

I see a pair of seriously burnt large Ekiti yam.

Quite a fantastic miss.

Na so. Wey the pic of that grinning cute girl with kpelebe hairstyle?

I'm sure those creaming off Soviet arrangements would have said same in 1989. But we all know what happened later.

Very nice gesture.

Please we should not turn this thread into a tribal argument one.

The VP paid a courtesy visit and he enjoyed the normal hospitality.

Nothing worth fighting over here.

Nothing new here. Even many ladies would silently call this lady a fool.

In countries where anything goes, this is what you get.

@OP,
So you and your colleague never discussed what you will bring to the table to support the home.

You care only about the man's income in this 21st century.

Men should borrow legs to run far from these kind of ladies.

Just imagine.

Orisirisi.

Any proof?

Anybody can allege anything.

By the way I am not part of "do not touch my anointed" brigade.

You cannot go to Edo & just do anyhow.
People will voice their opinion.

If they do not listen they know what those host communities can do.

Some claim they were paid. Lol.

Even if paid some cowardly people will collect money and disappear.

discusant:
Jonathan fought Boko Haram. Buhari said the fight was against northern region.

Buhari said in Kaduna in 2001 that he wouldn't rest until Islamic sharia criminal codes are practiced all over Nigeria.

Northern Muslims threatened to sue military commanders fighting Boko Haram before The Hague

.Boko Haram thrived, still thrives, because there are millions of people in northern Nigeria who share the same religious aspirations with Boko Haram fighters - they all aspire to have a country to be governed with Islamic sharia criminal codes

Nor mind them. They are fooling themselves.
Even the goats in Chibok town know that the whole thing was stage-managed.
But it got out of hand a little bit later.
Buhari never for once criticised Boko. He was seriously vexed with GEJ for killing Boko. He wanted them to be given money like ND militants.

Until Michelle Obama and other celebs the world over were trending "BBOG". BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera and others came with full force & Buhari suddenly saw a chance to launder his image.

menzo4u:
I don't understand what has become of this country that we so much waste money on frivolity, just imagine this statement :

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign
Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa --- Now, the media aide to the Senior special assistant to president Buhari on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora. I am sure that there is Special Adviser to the president on foreign affairs and disapora, that one too will have his media aid.

Even the media aid will have special adviser. And these people are still paid from the coffers of government. All ministers too have special advisers on various "nonsense".

I am waiting to see the spokesperson of the spokesperson of the senior special adviser's media aid of madness affairs to the president. RUBBISH!

You never see anything. That media aide to Abike will have his own retinue of aides/assistants too. His buddies have to get presidency job too na.

A friend relocated to 9ja when his buddy became SSA to OBJ then.

Why do you think we spend over 70% of FG budget on recurrent expenditure?

Which country has ever progressed with a lame system like ours?

Some defenders of rubbish will soon tell us that Abike pays her media aide from her own allowance.

Ordinarily I respect Abike. But her aide didn't tell us the steps they have taken to reduce harassment of Nigerians at US ports of entry.

Have they written to US embassy or US State department to complain?

AgreatMan:
Abacha was never convicted, besides, she is not her husband.

Even with all Abacha loot being returned?

Or they should convict him in his grave?

Nigeria I hail o. Youth of 2moro. Una well done o.

zeribe4real:
Imagine as big as Nigeria, that they don't have alternate world class airport close to the capital City that can be used in case of any misadventure.

Did we even need to build Abuja if not long throat and profligacy? Accra and many other capitals are still by the sea. No invasion till now. Instead Boko invaded us from Sambisa forest.

We should be talking of another world Standard international airport around Lagos and Enugu.

Kaduna or Minna should long have been a standard international airport whether close to Abuja or not. To serve the population hubs.

Okon is well rewarded for his handwork.

Somebody summed it up: Introduce business friendly policies. Free up the Naira & let the market decide its true value. And be consistent. Yes we will suffer for a while. But we cannot continue to pretend we are what we are not.

Also provide electricity and basic infrastructure. We must produce more and import less. That will reduce pressure on our currency.
Look at America even accusing China of undervaluing the Yuan. The Chinese deliberately use a weaker Renmibi to promote export.

We should not fool ourselves believing that foreign investors who are largely speculators owe us anything. They can take their money out and dump us at anytime.

In our case, we are lamenting a weak currency because we barely export anything aside oil.

But borrowing from the loan sharks like IMF & World Bank is no way forward.

Selling long term Euro or Dollar Bonds that will pile up debt for the next generation to pay off is silly too.

So restructure Nigeria. We do not need two national parliaments. No need for 36 states/governors/deputy governors/State Assemblies who go to Abuja with a begging bowl every month.

Recurrent expenditure must reduce to around 30 to 35%.

It's my birthday too! Show some love, folks!

HBD sir.

Happy birthday sir.

So The Ooni really has a dad.

Hmmm, interesting. But I'm not a diehard of historical evolution, and I just digest what I need to because the records could be fabricated and you may have to verify from about three or more sources which may be quite tasking. Thanks for the details though

A very good position. It is good to be sceptical.
But genetics is pretty advanced now and it is being used to trace migrations over time.

We all know that the world cannot be 7,000 years old as people interpret the Bible to mean. Maybe we do understand what the Bibles means in terms of time.

The earliest human fossil/jawbone found in Ethiopia belonging to Autralopethicus afarensis is over 2.8 million years old. Very old indeed.

To put it his way: Imagine that a girl you had something with two years ago suddenly turns up with a baby of about 16 months old. You go for a paternity test and the DNA lab says no way the child can be yours. But your pastor or Imam says God told him it is yours. An Ifa priest/Dibia/ Babalawo/Ezemo confirms that it is yours. Which of them would you believe?

Tazdroid:
On the genetic variations, so you mean there's a difference between a black African and a white African? It all boils down to the chemical responsible for skin colouration? I'll have to confirm that if you don't mind.

There is a very BIG variation between BLACK AFRICANS & BLACK AFRICANS. Because humans focus on superficial stuff (phenotype), we wouldn't have known if not for genetic studies.

Just imagine that Somalians and Ethiopians were co-incidentally as fair as the Tunisians or Moroccans. The difference between them and us would have been considered massive. But them looking closer to us in skin doesn't really reduce the genetic difference.

But they are of continental African origin and retaining black skin against the intense sunshine was crucial. Current North African Arabs (who are Semites like the Jews) invaded from across the Gulf.

From the Afro-Asiatic/Hamitic Horn of Africa (Ethiopians/Somalians/Berber/ancient Egyptians) to Sudanic & Nilotic to the Bantu to Kwa/Niger Congo people of Sub-Subsaharan Africa. The Hamitic group are even considered Caucasoid/Mediterranid by many experts.

The variation between Mediteranean, Central European & Northern Europeans (including those who migrated to North/South America, Australasia & South Africa) is not that big.

Many or most Africans are not aware of it. How many people pick up a book in Anthropology, Philology or population genetics to read?

cyrilamx:
Don't be blinded by hatred. I won't have dignify u with a reply, but for ur continous peddling of rumour. You failed to realise that Alison Deziani...and NNPC under Gej refuted this lies of money missing. NNPC under Goodluck Jonathan regime disputed this this claim Here's a statement from NNPC in 2014 that explained this " The tribunal found out that in three years, NNOC had failed to collect its equity share of oil produced by Shell, Mobil and Gulf. As a joint venture partner, NNOC was entitled to 182.95 million barrels of oil production. But NNOC did not find buyers for its own share, thereby losing a potential income of $2.8 billion. But it was instead reported by the media that $2.8 billion was missing.". Even though NNPC is currently under a PDP regime they could'nt let this lie against Mohammed Buhari stand,NNPC said the allegation was false.
http://www.thecable.ng/nnpc-asks-buhari-2-8bn-oil-money-truly-missing-petroleum-ministe
http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/nnpc-to-apc-presidential-candidate-we-dont-keep-two-accounts/196590/

Even Tai Solari who started this rumour of missing billions apologised to the General when he realised it was a hoax.

Again Shagari set up the Justice irikefe's panel to unravel this allege missing fund and it was found there was nothing untoward. Stop peddling hate induced lies. The investigation was concluded.

http://promiseofmygeneration..com.ng/2015/01/conclusions-of-justice-irikefe-panel-on.html?m=1. Plz open this an read .

Also IBB who jailed buhari after overthrowing would have made such findings public if the panel he also set found out anything

Aha! Interesing. At least you know the rumour was there. No smoke without fire. What you did not know was that the case wasn't dead. Umaru Dikko ensured that.

Anyhow, IBB is a Northerner. Even when they overthrow, they have limits to what they do to their Northern people. IBB overthrowing him was all about taking power. Especially because Buhari had refused to listen to IBB, Abacha & others and brushed their ideas aside. If you were around to listen to IBB's coup speech, you will remember. Of course some aspects would have been exaggerated. Buhari did same 20 months earlier.

IBB could have found several reasons to try Buhari in court including human rights abuse, corruption, etc. But he didn't try him.

20 months earlier Buhari also did not try Shagari in court. Hardly any core Northerner was tried. The only "core Northerner" tried wasn't really A Hausa-Fulani. His father was an immigrant to Kano. There is history & details between what you see.

I had journalists (relatives) who were close & knew too much. Buhari hounded them & fired them from their job. As far as I am concerned, the man is devil incarnate.

But Southerners were tried/investigated. Even the Southerners who were tried and found not guilty were still detained by Buhari.
Alex Ekwueme, Pa Ajasin and others come to mind.

Even Pa Awo that was not in govt had his passport seized. It took IBB overthrowing Buhari first to return the passport with apology. Shagari who oversaw the govt that was overthrown allegedly because of corruption was chilling in an AC mansion under "house arrest".

So you are the one blind to Northern Agenda. It makes me laugh to see SW pandering to this same Buhari. Very funny.

By the way, as for Justice Ayo G. Irikefe SAN, GCFR, & the panel you mentioned, I think you better leave the matter to those who had the opportunity to know the learned gentleman in person. Before he died in 1996.
