Tundeajani:
this dde is making me to want to believe the guys again.ngakwe call this truck pusher to order now

stop crying.

Tundeajani:
Before the mods rush out to ban me in their usual manner it woud be in their interest to farabale,cool down,sip a bottle of water and read what is on the lips on most nairalanders on the streets of lagos i have come across

Earlier in the weekI was actually in a group discussion with some of my guys in a cybercafe.you know guys talk na...na from topic to topic..football,computer phones etcandroid talks iphone gbogboe


at some point in the topic we switched to politics.specifically lagos state.we talked abot the chances of ambode and jimi agbaje and koro .i am actally a koro person though like most yoruba i am sympathetic to apc. straight out a guy actually mentioned the polls on nairaland and things led to the other...the argument grew...

''mama soro nairaland'' ''no dey talk nairaland at all''
''pdp loni nairaland..seun ti gbowo'' ''ngakwe don collect dole from reno omokri''


''you remember beaf?na the guy dey control frontpage politics news''

we discussed on and the guys gave many examples of the effort recently by the mods in promoting the pdp and destroying the apc to the extent of posting a photoshop to destroy the image of tinubu and fashola on the front page.

Though mischievous as i tried to be in that discussion i was toeing their line.as much nairalander as i have met have subscribed to this view.it is either ''pdp ti gba nairaland'or 'seun don collect dole''

Fear dey catch una already, campaign never even start. APC is light years away, when it comes to social media propaganda. You guys have a very good infrastructure, in Nigeria and around the world. Remember the average supporter of PDP is in their late 30s and above. They have no time for places like NL. TV news, Newspapers and their daily interactions are their primary sources for news and opinions.

omololu2020:
boy i was not quotin u so F off jo

Maggot, you are on a wrong thread.

mroxygen:
u b fool o

How many monikers will you use to say the same thing?

mroxygen:
what is dis one saying? Re u alright upstairs?

Seun need to ban this maggot for attempting to derail this thread.

arresa:
Not interested in your trolling stupidity... Bug off if you have nothing better to contribute to the thread...

Shamless liar, you stateless horse manure. Akpabio will kill you with high blood pressure.

omololu2020:
are u sayin ilajes are not yorubas or wot.ilajes are yoruba,my cousin nah ilaje guy

Tribalist with all your monikers commenting and replying your miserable self. Nobody is talking about Yoruba here. Read the headline of this thread. Tompolo and Keyamo are the topics of discussion.

mroxygen:
they re nt Yorubas? So they re what? If u don't know what u re saying,just keep quiet.

Oya carry your nonsense to your tribal village. This involved two Warri boys, Tompolo and and Keyamo

duni04:
Lol is this a joke or a serious question?

Tell us the crime Tompolo committed?

arresa:
I do all the time, but when was the last time you practiced what you are preaching? Instead you spend your life and days on NL bitching and moaning about other states and not your village. Please shut your hypocritical mouth.

Btw, this is a discussion forum so if you don't have anything meaningful to contribute, kindly step aside...

Can you name your state for us?

disloman:
No matter any issue he might av had with tompolo,tompolo doesn't has any right to threaten one's life.

Were you there to relate the conversation? Tompolo said he never spoke to this man in the terms as described by the charge and bail lawyer.

arsetalks:
Are you serious?

That's a question you should ask yourself.

arsetalks:
Just like Asari Dokunbo this guy is very likely to go unpunished and the main reason is the sissy put in place to manage the affairs of this nation. He uses people like those thugs.

Why should he be punished? Tell us the crime he committed?

The fiasco that played out two days ago, has only one culprit The Gov of the state Emmanuel Uduaghan. Deltans should vent their anger in his direction. He had 3 years to settle all the inter tribal conflict, somehow he seems to dragging his foot on Delta city gas project.

Why you people waste your energy and time hating the transformer of Akwaibom is comical to say the least. Spend the same amount of time on your state govs. and you will not need to post 50 pictures of the same project from different angles misleading mugus on NL.

Godswill Akpabio is the number one gov in Nigeria. Deal with it. Bad belle and envy is not going to change this fact.

nuclearboy:
So much pain, anger, weeping and gnashing of teeth

You have been noticed oya move on

PDP can claim victory here, they have succeeded in driving the fear of God into APC. They are prepared to throw Buhari overboard. I can hear the bells of another Buhari party already.

Abagworo:
The reason why the rich are scared of Buhari is his uprightness and nothing more. The corrupt elite believe Buhari will kill their empire. Especially IBB.

Is Buhari poor? Keep fooling yourself.

We are about to witness another bloodless coup detat. This time Buhari will be retired back to Daura.

Team Tinubu, the camp of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was compelled by some former Nigerian leaders and Northern Islamic leaders to drop its support for the 2015 presidential aspiration of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
tinubu-tambuwal-buhari
Reflective of the pressure which also came from some close associates of Asiwaju Tinubu, the political group has switched support towards the presidential aspiration of Speaker Aminu Tambuwal who with his entry this week, immediately turned into a major contender for the ticket.

He has Buhari and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as the main challengers for the party’s presidential ticket with Governor Rabiu Kwankwanso of Kano State and newspaper publisher, Sam Nda-Isaiah also contending.
Several other factors were taken into consideration by the Tinubu camp in switching support, close associates of the political leader disclosed to Saturday Vanguard. Among the other factors was the alleged overbearing influence of some close associates of Gen. Buhari, who they claimed were likely to fence out other political stakeholders in a possible Buhari presidency.
Three former heads of state, two from the north and one from the south and a very influential retired army chief from the northeast who has also held political appointments in the present dispensation were among those cited by sources as having prevailed on the Tinubu camp to drop support for Buhari.

The decision of the Tinubu camp to drop support for Buhari, it was learnt, also followed reservations from some sections of the north notably, some Islamic leaders.
“It is not that we dumped Buhari, the Islamic clerics, the imams and the political leaders in the north particularly three former heads of state said that they don’t want the man,” the source said.
President Olusegun Obasanjo and a former military president Gen. Ibrahim Babangida met penultimate Tuesday following the latter’s return from a medical trip abroad. The two men met for 30 minutes behind closed doors.
However, Gen Baban-gida had in the past been publicly quoted as urging Speaker Tambuwal to aspire for a higher office. Speaking at the presentation of the Vanguard Personality of the Year award to Governor Chibuke Amaechi of Rivers State in Lagos on April 6, 2013, the former military president said:

“When leaders like Tambuwal delivered on their electoral promise, we advise them to try something higher. For Tambuwal, your guess is as good as mine. Well done.” Babangida’s remark was applauded. .
The influence of some present and past minders of Gen. Buhari was also another reason taken into consideration, a source disclosed.
“There is this perception about Buhari that he is surrounding himself with some people like Nasir El-Rufai, Buba Galadima, Sule Hamman” the source said, reawakening complaints about the overbearing attitude of Buhari’s now dissolved political machine, The Buhari Organisation, TBO which had in the past been accused of selectively fencing out people.

[b]The Tinubu associates also feared that the perceptions of religious extremism which the ruling party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP had sought to tag on Buhari could deny the party votes in the South were he to emerge as candidate.
Though many of the Tinubu associates do not regard him as an extremist, but the perception already created, it was learned, could be injurious to their political outing. There were also concerns that Buhari could be detached from responsibility and reference was made to his past roles as head of state and chairman of the Petroleum (Special) Task Force, PTF where his subordinates usurped authority in his name.
“When he was head of state most of the power was delegated to Idiagbon and when he was at PTF, it was another person, that took charge and that if APC says they are looking for change that Tambuwal represents that change,” an associate of Tinubu revealed.
Another factor that was taken into consideration which was projected by some associates of the APC national leader, Saturday Vanguard learned was the prospect of Buhari turning on Tinubu and others once he is invested with power.[/b]
“There are also fears in Asuwaju’s camp that the man may destroy Asiwaju and may come back to hurt him and some of Asiwaju’s loyalists warned him,” the source revealed.

The matter of General Buhari’s age also came into consideration in the final consideration to drop support for the former head of state as it was reasoned that 70 to 80% of voters fall between the age of 18 to 40+ and most of them don’t know Buhari.
Political associates were also disturbed that inputs made by party leaders into the general’s speech at his declaration at the Eagle Square last month were discarded raising apprehension that the general in office could reject advice. Some were also understood to have raised the fact that the former head of state also did not have enough money for the race ahead.
The factors inevitably helped to shift attention towards Tambuwal who was earlier aligning himself towards the Sokoto State governorship contest.

Support for Tambuwal’s aspiration is also being boosted by permutations that his sterling leadership of the House of Representatives where he has the committed support of more than half of the members had put him in pole position in more than half of the federal constituencies in the country.
The decision of the Tinubu camp to change attention from Buhari and Tambuwal’s entry into the contest was welcomed by associates of Atiku Abubakar who see it as an opportunity for them to move in to harvest support from the influential Southwest caucus that is firmly controlled by Tinubu.

The Buhari camp was yesterday adjusting itself not to be in panic mood as it welcomed Tambuwal into the race. Osita Okechukwu, a strong loyalist of Buhari in a statement made available to Saturday Vanguard said the development would not cut off the celestial bond between Buhari and the more than 12 million followers behind him around the country.
He said: “The entry of Rt.Hon. Aminu Tambuwal is a welcome development, the more the presidential aspirants or any aspirant to governor, Senate, national or state assemblies the merrier.”
“Our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) will be the greatest beneficiary, as the mobilization of the electorate will be wider, penetrating and robust.”

“Therefore, Hon Tambuwal is highly welcome into the presidential race. This is why the constitution of our party was amended penultimate week, to accommodate in less than one hour, any person who joins APC.”
“On his chances, one cannot hazard a guess, as Tambuwal unlike Buhari or Atiku had never contested nationwide election. He only contested in a federal constituency and had never tested his popularity in Kano, Akure or Enugu.”
All one knows is that his entry will neither diminish nor cut-off the celestial bond between GMB and the masses and the middle class of our dear country. The masses and middle class had renewed at every election GMB’s 12million Vote Bank, therefore the contest at the end of the day is between President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and GMB.”

PaulJohn1:
Which big boy and/or girl are they posing like in their country?
You mean being jobless and living in a place where the leaders at all levels have failed them, and living on daily STUFFs for survival is befitting?

With no good road, unstable power, insecurity and bad health care institutions.
Where graduates have no hope of getting job or where M.sc. holders are applying for driving.

I believe many jobless Nigerians would prefer to do those petty jobs in those countries where they have reasonable leaders that provide their citizens with simple infrastructures to live a meaningful and COMFORTABLE life.

Let our government provide us with stable power, security and good roads, and watch how the desire of an average Nigerian to seek greener pasture outside the country drops.

If you have a good job and living a comfortable life, be thankful to your creator. Calling those jobless "lazy ones" is unfair, because the good atmosphere to make EVERYONE thrive in WHATEVER we lay our hands upon, which is the responsibility of our leaders is not provided.

Pick your medicine, drive across the desert. Is your life, live it as your like.

SkinnyDude:
it is a taboo for one to be born, grow up, live and die in Nigeria, without venturing across that medi sea or atla ocean. i reject it!

Enjoy your adventure.

AGF asks high court to dismiss similar suit
Chuks Okocha and Tobi Soniyi in Abuja

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant from Adamawa State, Dr. Umar Ardo, has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court following the dismissal of his suit against President Goodluck Jonathan’s eligibility to contest the 2015 presidential election by the Court of Appeal.

Ardo. in a brief interview with THISDAY after the suit was struck out Thursday, said: “Yes, my application to be joined as an interested party was dismissed. I will, of course, institute an appeal immediately at the Supreme Court praying the apex court to not only set aside the ruling of the Appeal Court but to also go ahead and determine the substantive matter.”

According to Ardo who was also a former governorship aspirant in Adamawa State: “It is sad the Appeal Court gave this ruling not minding the fact that liberal access to court by citizens is the hallmark of a civilised society. It is a barometer distinguishing between a good democratic society and a bad one.”

He continued: “But beyond that, I also object to the fact that a matter of this nature, challenging the eligibility of President Jonathan, was given to a judge whose background is inherently unlikely to dispense justice. Not only that the presiding judge is from Bayelsa State, and from Ogbia Local Government Area, the same local government with President Jonathan, and from Otuegwe village, a sister village of Jonathan’s Otuoke community, but also along with the president, is generally believed to belong to the Ogbia brotherhood, a socio-politcal organisation established to advance the cause of Ogbia people worldwide.

Insisting that the presiding judge ought to have disqualified himself from the suit, Ardo said, “Under such circumstances it is my conviction that justice cannot be served. If there was any intention to serve justice to this case, such a judge should not have been appointed to preside on this panel, and where appointed, having regard to the possible effect to the integrity and independence of the judiciary, he should have honourably disqualified himself.

“Both the Appeal Court and the justice himself, should have taken cue from a similar matter involving President Jonathan which was assigned to a judge from Bayelsa State, but the judge disqualified himself on the ground that he may not do justice to the matter and the case was subsequently returned to the FCT Chief Judge for assignment to another Judge from another state.

“The fact that this did not happen in this instance case is to me a clear indication that justice was not meant to be served in the matter ab initio,” Ardo told THISDAY.

In view of this, he said, “Nonetheless, I am bound by the judgment and I will pay the N100,000 cost put on me, but will appeal the ruling at the Supreme Court.”

Also, in another suit challenging the president’s eligibility to contest the 2015 election, the office of the Attorney General of the Federation has asked a Federal High Court to dismiss two suits seeking to stop the President Goodluck Jonathan from participating in the 2015 presidential election.

In separate preliminary objections filed by Ade Okeaya-Imeh (SAN), the AGF said the plaintiffs were mere busy bodies who had no legal standing to challenge the decision of the president to seek a second term in office.
Issues raised as objections centred on jurisdiction of the court to hear the cases and locus standi of the plaintiffs.

A similar suit is also pending before the same court.
The cases have been fixed for December 1.

A member of the president’s political party the PDP and a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) filed the suit.

The plaintiffs among others sought to restrain the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) from allowing Jonathan to participate in the 2015 presidential election.

The plaintiffs are Adejumo Mansouru Ajagbe (a member of the PDP from Lagos State) and Olatoye Wahab (a member of the APC from Osun State) as plaintiffs while the AGF and INEC as the defendants.

The plaintiffs argued that by the 1999 Constitution (as amended), the President, having contested the presidential election twice, won and taken the oath of office and allegiance twice in respect that office, he could no longer present himself for election to that office the third time.

The case was filed by James Ocholi, Abiodun Owonikoko, Okon Efut and Mahmud Magaji (all SANs).

They relied on the provisions of sections 132(1), 135(2)(a) and (b), 137(1)(b), 142(1) and (2) and the Supreme Court’s decision in the case of Marwa and Nyako (2012) 6 NWLR (Part 1296) 199 at 306.

The plaintiffs argued that by the provision of the 1999 Constitution, the president and vice-president, who were elected in the same election and sworn into office on the same date and at the same ceremony are, in law, taken to have been elected for one single term of four years notwithstanding the death or even impeachment of the President.

“That being so, the reference to “two previous elections” in Section 137(1)(b) of the Constitution includes two previous oath of allegiance and oath of office as president. It is therefore safe to conclude that a vice-president, who had taken the oath of allegiance and oath of office for two previous terms as president is, in law, deemed to have been elected into the Office of the president at two previous elections, thereby standing disqualified to contest another election into that office.”

They raised five questions for the court’s determination and are seeking seven reliefs, to include an order of perpetual injunction, restraining the AGF and INEC from accepting as candidate in the 2015 presidential election any body caught by “two previous election limit and eight year term limit.”

When will impostors like you seek a better profession? When?

Too many brain washed people in this country. You leave your country, where you pose daily as big boy and big girl, to become houseboy in Oyinboland. You begin to boast of 24hrs supply as your dividend of leaving Nigeria. Na only una waka come . Make them enter Europe, that when they will see real suffering. Foolish mentality will finish the lazy ones in this country.

Waiting to see the same come Dec 3 in Nigeria. Tambuwal, PDP is waiting for you.

Ujoinme hats off to you. Haters will die of high blood pressure. Nothing good must happen anywhere than their region, imagine the level of badbelle displayed on this thread. By people that cannot drive to Uyo, if you gave them a car, filled with petrol. Is not their fault, Na one Nigeria.
