I love the fact that someone is about to be charged to court for cyber stalking & defamation among others but was it necessary to "parade" the accused person like a common criminal? It's even more embarrassing when you consider the fact this (parade) was done by none other than the Force PRO!
The NPF must do better and learn to treat all citizens equally irrespective of status after all we didn't see the NPF headquarters parade Elisha Abbo - a sitting Senator - before the press for physical and verbal assault of a woman conducting her legal business in her shop.

If you've ever had cause to deal with officials of Nigeria's federal Ministries, you'd know that those directors, desk officers, file movers (those staff that acknowledge and enter letters on behalf of their bosses) are the major players; between them, they can frustrate anyone or make your mission a success depending on how well you know how to speak their language.

Ministers who don't know what they're doing will usually be used as pawns by these crooked civil servants

Apparently, AriseTV are riding on the back of Rufai Oseni's popularity among Obidients reason his frequent unprofessionalism on air hasn't been sanctioned by his employers.

I can't imagine why during live broadcasts - while his colleagues are focused on the job - Mr. Oseni will be busy pressing/checking his phone; so many times he does this. He's also the only one who openly places his phone on the desk right in front of him, I mean, who else does that?

Well, it's said that when you mount a Tiger's back, keep riding on because the moment you disembark, you become food for the Tiger. Rufai Oseni is AriseTV's Tiger, they can't afford to disembark now because if they do, they know the level of trolling and negative publicity that'll be unleashed on them by the "headless mob".

This is impressive. Kudos to the administration of Prof. Charles Soludo.
With dwindling revenue, heightened insecurity and environmental challenges, he has done far better in < year what one man spent 8 years doing in the same state with investments in alcoholic beverage and savings in bank where he has substantial interests as his major achievements.

You're correct; two wrongs don't make a right.

However, what's sauce for the Goose should also be sauce for the Gander (in this instance, the blame lies squarely at Mr. Rufai Oseni's feet for not moderating the session fairly).

I bet had it been Seun Okinbaloye, he would have reminded Mr. Ezike that they were on live TV therefore should watch his utterances against the Judges. Ditto for Mr. Jesutega.

IfnobeGod20:
Both of them are wrong. The APC man, Jesutega has an interest to protect, that is, his party. The other man said, he's not supporting any political party or any candidate. Meaning, the man even has right to vent his anger on the judgement since he has no interest he's protecting while Jesutega has interest to protect.
However, the man should have shown restraint too. Jesutega has no right to take fight with the man since he wasn't abusing him directly but only reacting to judgement delivered. Both can fall to the same trap next time. Why Jesutega is not feeling it, is because his party won at the tribunal, if against his party, he will have one or two issues to raise too. So both are wrong by standard.

This your story is a bit funny; she has demonstrated love to you & shown qualities you've never seen in any woman you dated before but her past (which she trusted you enough to share with you) is what's bothering you?

If you were looking for a saint you shouldn't have bothered dating a lady with a history of failed relationships in the first place. Yes, you may not have known her body count before the conversation came up but please tell, if she'd only dated two, three or four men before she met you would it have mattered?

I get the feeling you're not genuinely into her in the first instance perhaps she came into your life at a trying period & now that you're over that phase, she's of no use to you; I'd strongly advise you to respectfully break up with her before it's too late instead of constantly using her past against her.

Meanwhile, you did write something about her being a "...lover and mother". Does she have a child or children by you or from one of her past failed relationships? If the former, please find a way to make your relationship with her work otherwise you'd be exposing your child/children to different male figures that'll be coming into their lives.

I was streaming this particular interview live until Airtel decided to be unfortunate so I missed this particular scene.
Nonetheless, the trio of Mr. Oseni, Mrs. Ayo & Dr. Abati watched their studio guest (Mr. Ezike, an experienced & long-standing member of the legal profession) accuse the PEPT judges of what he labeled "computer judgment" (aka AI generated judgment) without batting an eyelid.
It's no problem that AriseTV is a media arm of the PDP with Rufai Oseni an unapologetic Obidients but if they can sit down with a lawyer who questioned the integrity of the PEPT judges without asking the man to retract his words, then they've absolutely no right to ask another man (who's also a lawyer, anyways) to take back his own words.

Why did you "tame" your wife for life or rather, why did you think it was a good thing for you to tame your own wife for life? I think that's where you should start from; was she "wild" before marriage & only "pretended" to be tamed just to satisfy your ego of successfully taming a woman only for her true colors to show up now after two sons?

Secondly, why do you make the money you paid for CS seem like you did her and your child a huge favour? The alternative would've been letting both your wife and unborn child die if the surgery hadn't been done; would that have made you happy?

I don't have the details of what goes on in your home; how your wife behaves, how you also behave and other factors that are leading you to contemplate "divorce" but if I were to assess your temperament or attitude towards your wife and marriage based on what you wrote, you seem like a well-to-do individual with a very big ego and get a kick off people kowtowing to you just because you play an important role in their life - this time a role as husband which you willingly and lovingly took a vow for before God and men.

Abi, dem force you to marry your wife?

Kindly find middle grounds with your wife; try to understand where she's coming from or what may've led to her sudden change in attitude before you start entertaining divorce thoughts in your head. After all, you didn't take a wheel spanner and smash your vehicle windscreen in anger every time it developed a mechanical or electrical fault: what you did instead was try to find out (through your mechanic/ auto electrician) what the problem was & solve it.

Much as Baba Obasanjo spoke a lot of hard truths in this interview, I couldn't help but notice how he refused to take responsibility or accept any blame for the failures of his government; if he wasn't passing the buck to his then Minister for giving an approval for a project far above his limits, he was blaming the late President Yar'adua for reversing his administration's privatisation of some of our refineries and then President Jonathan for not properly privatizing the power sector.

I mean, would've loved to lap this up & bask in the euphoria of PO's academic b/ground being called to question but I thought the "Peter Odili was my headboy" matter had long been laid to rest?
Also, the fact he submitted his O'levels instead of Philosophy degree certificate to INEC shouldn't raise any eyebrows & more importantly, was in consonance with the Constitution.
Much as Reno enjoys breaking coconut on the heads of those rabid supporters of PO, it'd be great if he just stuck to the issues.

Lol. Funny enough, we've the highly rated and efficient "Eagle Eye" domain that's supposed to monitor our water ways (maybe its AOR covers only the Gulf of Guinea area & not our inland waterways).

Anyways, much as I'd like to believe the NN's account of the events that played out, it's also important that a neutral body (DSS preferably) investigates the allegations and counter allegations; it's a very serious allegation the Tantita guys made against the Navy.

I don't think that there's any politician in this current dispensation that's as petty as this Ganduje; how someone with his experience, exposure & political power displays pettiness at every opportunity is beyond imagination.

PDP is playing the waiting game as far as this Wike matter is concerned; they'll eventually suspend him but that can only happen if the Tribunal declares the Wazirin Adamawa winner of the 2023 presidential election & the Supreme Court upholds the judgment.

This is what out governors have reduced LG chairmen to - beggars.
Gov. Abiodun should tread carefully because his declaration as Governor by INEC may be upturned by the Ogun Governorship Petitions Tribunal reducing him to just another citizen without executive powers.

Someone tweeted something about "Obidients" some time not too long ago & it goes this:
"They [Obidients] create a scenario in their head then begin to jubilate/celebrate".
Till date, I haven't seen a more befitting description of those group of supporters; recently, it would appear "Atikulators" have also caught the same bug.
All in all (irrespective of your political inclination), Nigeria shall win & outlive us all!

No way Nigerian politicians are going to make heaven because if pictures don't lie, then there's no way Gov. Obaseki can feign ignorance that he wasn't aware his deputy was blocked from gaining access to him.

On the extra-judicial killing of Lagosians allegedly by soldiers/policemen, Gov. Sanwo-Olu acts like a man whose wife's peaceful nature has been taken advantage of by his brothers that whenever they visit him, they always leave her battered and in tears yet, when accosted by his in-laws & neighbors to protect his wife, he always claims he's on top of the situation & just needs to personally catch anyone of his brothers in the act so as to serve as a scapegoat.

If these pattern of killings had been noticed in Rivers State under Wike as Governor, that Brigade Commander or Police Commissioner would've since been redeployed from the state /or even called out by him.

Though he has his good attributes, Gov. Sanwo-Olu also just happens to be a weakling incapable of taking very tough decisions & seeing them through.

The UK's NCA gave her time to recover from the life-threatening illness she was battling at the time all the while gathering more evidences to nail her; even she must've felt they'd forgotten about the case then boom!

Just like Ike Ekweremadu & his wife's saga, the whole case will seem like a joke to onlookers till verdict is delivered then reality will dawn on all involved.

I wish the lovely Diezani good luck in this particular case because she'll be needing loads of it.

Meanwhile, I sense Kola Aluko, Jide Omokore & co entered a soft of deal with the UK authorities to "deliver" the former petroleum resources minister who was their target all along.

Lol. Dangote Refinery will most likely come on stream very very soon in order to divert attention from the gathering storm.

Nonetheless, Dangote won't suffer any repercussions for his alleged economic crimes against Nigeria.

Well said NDLEA.

Well, while the plight of the Niger Delta people deserve adequate, prompt & qualitative attention from the Federal Government, the PANDEF & other similar ethnic groups in the region should share in the blame for the neglect of their region.

What have their respective governors been doing with (especially) the 12.5% resource control accruing to them? Then Gov. Wike revealed just before the elections that the Buhari-led FG paid billions of Naira to the N/Delta states as part of their entitlements, what did the other governors do with their own share (most didn't even publicly acknowledge receipt of the money and would probably never have been public knowledge if not for Wike's exposé).
Finally, PANDEF had a true son of Niger Delta as President for no fewer than 5 years & VP for at least 2-3yrs, what did he attract to their region?
Those are the issues.

Attention seeker who's waiting to be "picked up" or responded to so she can give a "disrespectful" reply in return; Aunty, no one will respond to or pick you up for airing your opinion.
Just waka dey go.

We're either confused or don't know what we want as a people. If you can't hold your leaders at the state level i.e governors accountable, what moral right do you've to hold the FG accountable? This has always been the problem; everyone looking to the FG meanwhile the state governors are getting away with doing whatever they like.

If Wike eventually dumps the PDP for APC, it'll confirm whispers in some quarters that PBAT & his allies are working underground to create a new political vehicle for the realization of his second term.

There has always been a heavy presence of well-armed security operatives on that train service since after the devastating attack last year.

I just hope this measure is accompanied with other preventive measures because while the terrorists may not successfully capture passengers that they may use as leverage, a potential attack could still leave many dead, injured, maimed & scarred for life.

Israel's most obvious weakness is he talks too much like he has something to prove to whoever it's he's trying to impress.
I hope he doesn't get away with this attempt at cyber bullying of a girl who he claims dumped him over 20yrs ago yet, he'd to post her full picture with him just to prove a point?

What they all would've done (close ranks) prior to the last general elections is what they're doing now after the deed has been done.

Anyways, it's not too late to close ranks esp against 2027 during which I expect Alh. Atiku Abubakar to give way for younger politicians like Kwankwaso, Peter Obi, Udom Emmanuel, Bukola Saraki et al.

Thank God it didn't result in any grievous bodily harm.

Meanwhile, couldn't help but notice how the former presidential candidate was silent on where this incident happened & how he didn't blamed anyone or institution; if this had happened in Lagos or Abuja we wouldn't have heard the last of it. He would've "sewn" a lengthy thread about how Nigeria keeps failing her citizens & probably even called for a probe of the stuck elevator considering his status in society but like I said before, we thank God!

President Tinubu's administration might just be the one that eventually tips Nigeria over the precipice; it's not even so much about the fast crumbling economy under his watch but the aloofness & sluggish pace at which he's moving as if everything is ok.
