Mboi2: Adamu. How does what you wrote here relate with what I said that you quoted. That's why you could not pass use of English. You have problem reading and understanding what you read. It is because of you people's ignorance and biased mind emanating from the fact that you reason with your anus that made you voted for this Dullard and this useless APC party of undilluted rogues. See how they are bringing shame to Nigeria, disgracing Nigerians in diaspora. Since to you, Mrs Remi Tinubu is right, may ur son marry a woman of same character with Remi Tinubu, if you don't say "Amen" to this, Shame unto u!!

Stop trying to convince me that you love wife, women beater and rapists because we know this already and the fact that such is allowed in your village doesn't mean it's allowed in other places..
APC as a political party should take part of the blame. This man should never have been allowed to join the party after the ugly disgrace and thuggish fight he displayed on the house floor back in 2010.
Even with this new incident, APC should have expelled him from the party so it's easy to believe this woman beater and rapist that nothing can happen to him because with all his disturbing and violent ways, nothing really happened, he's not even been suspended by the Senate or expelled by the APC..
Caveatemptor: My friend,what are you on about? Dino Melaye claimed she called him a dog and a thug. What is comprehension in that?
The woman beater, wife beater, rapist and fighter can say whatever rubbish or twist the story any how, the witnesses and his fellow senate members says otherwise and one thing they are not denying what he said to Mrs Tinubu.
Again, saying you act like a thug and saying you are a dog are 2 different things so learn how to read and comprehend..
Remi Tinubu has an antecedent of consistent anger issues. The video of her attack on Musiliu Obanikoro is on YouTube.
Your best defense is a video without audio? Very silly..
It is cringe worthy.
Cringe worthy is your type supporting and defending a wife beater and rapist.
I wonder why the video of the same thug fighting and disrupting proceeding on the house floor doesn't bother or cringe you..
She refused to shake hands with Senator Saraki. Snubbing him because her husband's wishes were not carried out.
Is it a crime not to shake hands abi what kind of silly childish and elementary school nonsense is this?
What grown man cry and mop around because of handshake..?
She sat on the deputy senate presidents seat and refused to get up. Anger issues clearly
But the thug fighting on the house floor, beating up woman and threatening to rape women doesn't have anger issues right? In fact, they are your role model..
You people no go kill pesin with your warped and basement mentality I swear..
Funny enough while women are becoming presidents and prime ministers all over the world, Nigerians men and lawmakers can't even decide what level of rights or equality women deserves.
This one is still talking about beating and raping women in 2016.
Even the sexist remarks against oduah ia not being discussed and she care less too.
emmasege: You said this earlier on, please say something else. I expect you to reply me in Yoruba, at least in part, for me to confirm you are really one of us and not a Mallam from the north west or Kwara.
Da mi lohun ni Yoruba t'o ba je ojulowo omo O'odua ni o. You are free to consult an interpreter to help you read that and respond, appropriately.

Stop boring me with your unintelligent ipob rants.
Caveatemptor: Remi Tinubu is not without blame in this matter for calling Dino Melaye a dog and a thug. She has consistently shown herself as a woman with a hot temper,however Dino Melaye showed himself to be an uncouth,loutish being with his retort that he would beat her up and impregnate her. His defence of his actions at his press conference was even worse as he continued to cast aspersions on her that he could not impregnate a woman that has attained menopause. I find this comment sexist and showing a total disrespect to all women that have attained menopause as if they are pieces of meat. Dino Melayes antecedents are not helping him either. A serial wife beater and on top of that allegedly impregnating the actress Bisi Ibidapo Obe and refusing to accept paternity nor recognising the child as his own. Senator's Tinubu and Melaye are the kind of characters making laws for you and me In the senate,and I ask how many laws or bills have either of them proposed or passed that favour the common man? Food for thought my people but I guess we are getting the kind of leaders we deserve. Quite frankly I see nothing to cheer nor see any difference between the APC or the PDP. They are all out to feather their nests so that their future generations will never sufkind
Not according to his fellow members and eye witnesses...
There's a clear difference between acting like a thug and saying you are a thug.
emmasege: Pele, o dun e, abi? How am I even sure you are Yoruba and can read those Yoruba words, when you can't even reply any of my Yoruba comments? Go, get a life and stop being a dogmatic thief.nubu follower.
Aabo oro ti to fun e, iyen t'o ba je p'omoluabi ni e. Ojulowo omo O'odua m'oye. May you be set free from the curse of amalgamated brooms.

Stop boring me with your unintelligent ipob rants..
emmasege: I know no amount of evidence can convince deluded minds like you of my O'odua ancestry. You can as well say Wole Soyinka is IPOB for supporting the Biafra course. The difference between us (enlightened & exposed individuals) and you (sedentary individuals) is that we have lived and worked in other zones outside "Ile kaaro oojire". Not every Yoruba is bewitched by the Thief.nubu and Aregberascals.

Stop boring me with your unintelligent ipob rants..
Mboi2: Zombie, I don't blame you. Do you know what is called "verbal abuse"? Don't you know it's a punishable offence like physical abuse? They abused each other and if ther's any disciplinary action that would be taken it should be for both of them. What goes around comes around. Mrs Tinubu has been disrespecting her fellow honourable members in the floor of the Senate feeling her husband is what? You called someone's father and husband, to you nothing is wrong with that and when you were paid back with your own coin you started crying. May your son marry a woman that has same character like Mrs Remi Tinubu, if you insists that Remi Tinubu is right, shout " Amen" to this.

cococandy: I'm sorry I don't believe his reply is on par with hers. He could have returned the insult as he would have anyone else's without implying rape.
Make no mistake I've no bias towards Mrs Tinubu. If we say she insulted him first, we thereby agree that rape is okay as long as the victim insulted the offender. This issue is bigger than who insulted who. He's encouraging the rape culture that is already a problem in Nigeria and he should be made an example of.
Mboi2: How can u understand when your mind is full of envy and wickedness. People like you who have chosen to worship your fellow human beings are d problem of this country
And people like you worship crazy men and habitual domestic violence offenders who beat up and rape women...
achieverme: Everyone is blaming and abusing dino melaye. No one ever bothered to ask what remi tinubu said to prompt Dino's response. Or did dino just turned on her and said he would rape her without remi tinubu saying anything to prompt Dino's outburst?
This is shameful.
And many of the news media reporting this issue have cleverly left out what tinubu said to prompt this.
There are two sides to a story. We do not want to bother asking what tinubu's wife said to warrant Dino's response, just because of hatred for him and desire to pull him down at all cost.
While I Dont support the unruly conduct of Dino, I still think remi tinubu must have said something equally unbecoming to make Dino give her that kind of response. Everyone is now silent on what tinubu could have said, but start broadcasting what dino said. We leave out the action that prompted the reaction and start hammering on the reaction alone.
We all get provoked everyday, but we don't threaten to beat up women and rape them because we are upset, only sick and demented people do that like Melaye who is known for physical abuse against women including his own spouse.
Threatening to beat and rape a woman because you are provoked is criminal, it's verbal assault and punishable in sane and lawful societies..
What kind of people defends an habitual domestic violence offender who batters women, threaten to beat and rape women who fights and disrupts proceeding on the floor of the House and Senate?
I really wonder about some of you people and your own mental state of mind..
jossiwan: On senators Dino vs Remi Tinubu my take. Why would an altercation on the floor or at any level of the Senate by senators become a subject of firing salvos by people who have no business in the Senate? Statements or position of members in the cause of their official assignments in the Senate/house is covered by immunity to libel or defamation. If Remi or Dino feel shortchanged there are laid down house mechanisms in tackling that why would Tinubu go to the extreme of issuing out an official statement against Dino? This is unacceptable. There is no where in the world where legislators always agree without altercation and in some cases it translates into exchange of fist in the house. Mind you Remi Tinubu is in the Senate as a senator of the federal Republic of Nigeria and NOT the wife of Tinubu. If Tinubu is not comfortable with his wife being denigrated by her colleague then like the saying goes "if you can't take the heat get off the kitchen". My worry here is both senators Dino and Remi are anything but not Distinguish or Honorable in the sight of right thinking public. Why would both senators condescend to the level of throwing caution to the dogs and deploying unacceptable arsenals to settle personal acrimony. My question is this to you all " what will be your reaction if a female/male staff of same rank calls you a dog? can all the "gentlemen and ladies" here answer with sincerity?
1. This issue has nothing to do with Mrs Tinubu and the people of Lagos state sent Mrs Tinubu to the Senate and never her husband so the fact that Dino Melaye because of his own foolishness and insecurities tried to make this about her husband means nothing and irrelevant to the issue at hand. Mr's Tinubu also did not say a word about her husband, Melaye did.
2. Melaye issued threats against his fellow senate members including Mrs Tinibu so she has every right to stand up to the bully and speak for herself.
3. Ms Tinubu rightfully asked him to stop issuing threats all the time against senate members he disagrees. She said the Senate should not be reduced to a kindergarten where Senators could just issue childish threats, and called on Senators to close ranks and seek reconciliation amongst its members This is according to witnesses.
emmasege: Am sorry to disappoint you. A[b]m from the southwest[/b], from the very state where the cradle of Yoruba civilization is. I need no further proof to convince you. Not every O'odua son or daughter is under the evil spell of Thief.nubu's broom. S'oro mi ye o? That was Oyo dialect (Yoruba ajumolo) for you, not the adulterated one you speak in Thief.nubu's Lagos.
emmasege: While the Daura dull.ard.inho is extending hands of fellowship to his misguided boko haram brothers, he vows to crush those on whose land the entire nation feeds. I'll pray that you continue to use force against the NDA, IPOB etc so as to fast track the decomposition reaction of this compound called Nigeria.
Who dash ipob SW. Must you people lie like cowards and hide your tru identity just to make your tribal, ignorant and bigoted point?
Lying about your identity to spew hate and bigotry is nothing new on NL, it's tires and played out a long time ago. This idiocy is for little kids and cowards..
Responsible, credible, productive and accountable governors don't need everyday solidarity noise, rallies and demonstration, you need it to convinced people that you are relevant only when you are not credible, productive and getting more and more irrelevant and trying to stay in power..
OZAOEKPE: that is the problem i have with children of AFONJA
Don't worry, you can have that domestic violence woman abuser and rapist and rename him Dinochukwu and keep him after clipping his wings in the SW, after showing him that such gutter and anti Omoluabi behavior is not tolerated in the SW.
Eketem: It seems Oluremi Tinubu is no stranger to fighting and insulting people on the floor of the Senate. This video shows her in 2014 abusing and almost fighting Senator Musiliu Obanikoro while he graciously ignores her and even bows in respect and walks away.
Women who want to act like Oluremi should understand that not every man will keep quiet, some like Dino would soundly abuse you in return
emmasege: Remi Tinubu is a disgrace to womanhood judging by her misconduct in that red chamber so far. A woman who disrespects men in the public is not deserving of men's respect.
Aside Ekweremadu, Dino & Obanikoro's issues, the Jezebel also disrespected the office of Senate president when she refused him an inaugural handshake last June. The idiot disrespects anyone who disagrees with her husband politically. If her past is carefully x-rayed, they will discover she's always been nagging and disrespectful to her husband anytime there was disagreement at home, just the same way Dino has always disrespected women.
Remi was unfortunate to meet an equally violent man in Dino, hence the fracas. Not every man can tolerate woman's disrespect in the public, Remi should note that. Dino would've actually beaten her up if she was closer. Remi should learn to tame her tongue, please.
