Your husband will never rest in peace


He died by the sword cos he lived by the sword.

No sympathy for any bloody killer, be it herdsmen, BH, millitant, NA or NPF


5 Billion as if her husband was an employer of labour, nonsense

Her husband might have been a killer and a murderer. Nobody is here claiming he is innocent. That is not the issue.

The issue is that when you give a promise, you are bound to abide by it for the sake of integrity. Secondly, the Army and indeed no one has the right to carry out extra-judicial killings. Gana was not convicted and sentenced to death by any Court. So on these two counts the Government and the Army are wrong and guilty.

Grand194:
Its a very delicate issue.. Anything spoken without considering the nature of things could go south...

I would have preferred CAN not saying anything about it.. But people still want CAN to speak..

And CAN can't oppose or support..

Opposing such stance would be devastating on Christians in that part of Nigeria.

The Kano State CAN Chairman made use of wrong choice of words. He should simply have said CAN has no position on the matter since it deals with another religion and doesn't affect Christians. He has no business saying they have no objection and even going to the extent of supporting with Bible verse to make it look like Christians too have their own blasphemy punishment!

Pastor having sex with a girl that he knew is engaged and people said MIND YOUR BUSINESS THAT PASTOR IS ALSO A HUMAN BEING.... THE PASTOR MIGHT ALSO BE THE ONE TO WED THEM TOOMOROW WHO KNOWS


THESE ARE PEOPLE SOME PEOPLE ARE HOPING ON TO STAND UP AGAINST INJUSTICE IN NIGERIA....

The typical Nigerian only stands up against injustice when it affects him.

Honestly, when one reads some of the comments by Nigerians on issues, it is not far fetched to see how and why we are in the mess in which we are as a nation.

We cannot lend our voice in support of despicable acts in the name of mind your business or other excuses and expect the nation to turn out well. If you support a Pastor denying his calling by his actions, why do you cry when Politicians deny their promises also? A lot of Nigeirans are simply confused!

Don't be surprised if she's just like any other Nigerian.
Condemned corruption when he's not d one doing it.
Condemned good he doesn't understands and Support evil he committed

I read somewhere that Kadaria converted to Christianity and was labelled an apostate worthy of death. That being so, drawing unnecessary attention to herself by antagonizing those who want her dead is not wisdom.

No one can speak out against all the ills and bad things in the world. It would be a thankless and full time job for generations on end. As long as someone doesnt lie and speaks out against any bad issue, we shouldn't try to belittle what they say by saying there are other issues unmentioned. You too should speak out against those. Simple.

ObaKlaz:
Ask them to provide a comprehensive documentation of how they spent #31billion to fight COVID-419, a fainting galore will start.

Is this a coincidence? The Federal Government spent N31 billion on the entire country for Covid-19 and NDDC spends the same N 31 billion on Covid-19 for its constituency.

All marketers involved in fuel import collect subsidy.

Global Fleet Oil claims nor to have collected a single kobo of subsidy.
https://dailypost.ng/2012/01/12/my-oil-firm-got-no-kobo-of-subsidy-from-fg-jimoh-ibrahim/

kikero:
If government removes subsidy for real, the price of fuel would be above 300 naira per liter.

That's why they don't want to remove it. Too politically expensive.

But since subsidy is associated with corruption it is better to lie that it has gone, than to tell the truth

Only time subsidy goes is when the crude oil price is too low for it to make sense, like what happened recently

Subsidy is a big scam! .

You will be surprised to know that not all oil marketers collect subsidy. Examples are Global Fleet Oil and Obat Oil. So how are these non-subsidy collecting marketers able to sell at the same price and still gain?

If Government removes so called subsidy, the only reason the price will rise is because of the cartel in the industry. Capital Oil has said that repeatedly. When Governments allow cartels to form, the cartels dictate pricing to the detriment of the populace.

IbnBattuta1960:
What rubbish
With all the corrupt file charges he has suppressed making corruption thrive ...

The article is nothing but an image laundering effort that is probably paid for or done to curry favour from Malami.

olisaEze:
The write up says a group that supports the election loser has made threats to breakaway and form their own because the SW has majority, they never said they’ll follow the North. Which kind slave mentality u dey try impose on SW’ern lawyers?

The heading chosen by the OP is tantamount to misinformation. It is trying to imply support for the Northern cause by the South West lawyers, an assertion which has no basis in the content of the article.

raumdeuter:
This same FFK will get on twitter and start calling others unprintable names but a little question, he is blowing his gasket

Don't mind the hypocrite. He can throw punches at others but cannot absorb or take one when thrown at him.

galuayan:
so na elrufai mata go scatter NBA

I am happy most of the Lawyers are able to rise above sentiments. The Bauchi branch argument on rule of law falls flat in the face of the fact that it is the prerogative of the NEC and organizing committee to choose speakers at the conference.

The petition that led to the withdrawal of invitation to El-Rufai is too strong and with factual basis to have well meaning and thinking people support his participation.

OfficialMURIC:
NBA as a group of learned literati, should have preference for the intellectuals over morons. But instead, NBA has shown itself to be phoney who will abandon its own morals in pursuit of sentiment and bias. Is NBA now an extension of CAN? Is El-Rufai responsible for the killings in Southern Kaduna?

You may please check the section in the MURIC Press Release where it said and I quote: "

By dropping El-Rufai, NBA has declared war on the other side in the Southern Kaduna crisis.

"

Further to that:

“MURIC calls on all lawyers from the North to boycott NBA’s AGC in protest against this open declaration of war on Northern Kaduna.

From the foregoing in MURIC statements:
1. MURIC is affirming that El Rufai is reppresenting the Northern Kaduna in a conflict in which he as the Goveenor of the entire Kaduna State should be neutral to achieve a solution.
2. MURIC is supporting El Rufai's disgraceful partisanship and even urging Northern lawyers to do the same.
3. It is clear that with people like MURIC supporting him, El Rufai would use the NBA platform to advance and justify his partisan views and NBA being expected to be neutral is right in rejecting him. That protests came from some lawyers before NBA took the action only shows the minders of the association didn't think deeply about their choice of El Rufai in the first instance.
4. MURIC's actions speak to one of the key reasons why we are where we are today on the Boko Haram issue. Lots of key Muslim figures refused to speak out against BH when they started and probably supported them in secret, particularly when they started out killing only Christians. Now the BH scourge is being felt by the entire North and Nigeria.

We need to see through all the hubris and call a spade what it is.

Arrewa:
In the Bible...

Kill Followers of Other Religions.
1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)

Go and Google how Christian crusaders kill millions of people in the quest of spreading Christianity!

And those that will be like oo it's from old testaments...

Oya this is what Jesus said!

While the Old Testament records exist in the Bible for wisdom and understanding, Christians are under the new covenant..

Jesus came to fulfill and not abolish the laws because the true intent of the law is to win people's heart to God and fulfill that sovereign of all laws: "Though shall love the Lord thy God with all your heart."

Unfortunately evidence showed it's possible to fulfill all the law and still fall short of God's intention. This was shown in the young wealthy man that claimed to Jesus he had fulfilled all the laws but failed that sovereign of all laws when Jesus told him to sell all he had and follow Jesus. This inadequacy of the Old made the need for the New Covenant apparent.

You cannot get to Heaven from religiously fulfilling the laws but hypocrites often try to hoodwink others. When the woman caught in adultery was brought to Jesus, he said he who has no sin should stone her first. None could and they all went away.

How often have you underplayed your own sins but very eager outwardly to condemn others and apply the law? People don't go to heaven from defending God in the public but from having the heart in tune with God. Even your enemy can kill someone purportedly because of you! Most zealots are hypocrites and God already knows that.

Would you have expected to find tons of pornography videos in the house of Bin Laden for all the zeal he demonstrated for Allah killing infidels? And yet he apparently suffered no cognitive dissonance.

First love God with all of your heart and let people see and feel it, before going out to punish others for breaking His laws. People can fight with and for you and their heart will still be far from you. You know that. God also knows that.

GamalNasser:
You can see the briefcase construction company they gave such an important job to do

I expected the reconstruction to be handled by Julius Berger Nigeria PLC who original constructed the bridge since they are still around. Surprisingly it is being handled by Borini Promo Construction Company.
I hope the company get the job done well.

kikero:
As he rightly should.

The current trend to name and shame rapists should not be used as a cover for false accusations.

As he rightly should not, particularly when the petition was withdrawn based on an agreement between the petitioner and the accused as announced.

If D'banj is not careful, what he was avoiding by making an agreement with the petitioner may well come to pass in a worse way.

Tomtomy98:
Very sad.....

Was it intentional?

Why did it take so long for the NAF to handover the suspects? Police should have taken over the case immediately the incident happened to be able to examine the crime scene, interview witnesses and examine the body of the victim to check the injuries sustained. They would have been the one to issue the statement of whether it was accidental or not.

For NAF to delay so long, to make statements and bury the victim, what kind of investigation does it want the Police to now do? They have tampered with the crime scene and witnesses already and made conclusions.

aolawale025:
Does presidency knows the outcome already?

Garba Shehu's statement on a surprising outcome is filled with prejudice.

iamoyindamola:
Why was she denying before

Because it was misrepresented and misinterpreted. Will Smith didn't give any permission contrary to what Alsina said.

The couple were in the throes of irreconcilable differences that more often than not leads to divorce and believe they would never make it back again.

For them to be able to make it back the way they did is a rarity in Hollywood and Celebrity marriages.

It also speaks a lot about their new maturity to be able to make this interview to clear the air and also do it without airing the very dirty laundry that I believe caused the irreconcilable differences. They have really healed.

Jada's actions are perfectly understandable from a human perspective and doesn't make her more of a hoe than the girl that has intimate relations outside of marriage with her boyfriend or fiance. Also note that you haven't heard the whole story.

socialmediaman:
That’s what they are good at, using influential positions to arrest people who publish allegations against them.

You’re a public officer, defend yourself before the public, don’t stifle the press and freedom of speech

Journalism has ethics and you don't have the right to just publish anything that defames the character of another, whether public or private officials.

And the general principle in law is that he who asserts must prove. Jackson Ude will had to prove that he is not lying in his publications.

You can see how Abubakar and Danjuma called to dissociate themselves from the story by Segun Adeniyi in ThisDAY that they contributed to Magu's travails and Segun had to tactically deny. Bloggers need to be careful and held to account.

FlordFlorez:
See as them they change goal post.

No whistleblower policy in the world extends to recovery and lodgement of funds recovered. A whistleblower is not an EFCC official; his job is just to blow the whistle, point you in the direction of the hidden illegal money!

They are doing all they can to cheat the whistleblower out of his entitlement, including barefaced lying to the public.

Decibel:
Victory Birthday song.Their enemy has been defeated; mission accomplished

If Tinubu is defeated as some of these political pundits claim, will his cousin Governor Oyetola and Sanwo-Olu be at this meeting singing? They would rather be missing and it would be the anti-tinubu politicians that would be jubilating.

OZAOEKPE:
My old man would say, wetin papa sit down they see even if pikin climb mountain he no go see. We tell una say Adams for allow Obaseki run, no be every meat man they chop una no agree, una deceive Adams to his own destruction. Wetin go make Obaseki enter, Adams is useless politically in Edo North

Are you saying that not allowing Obaseki to run on APC platform is enough reason for him to scatter the party? And a person with that kind of selfish mindset should have been allowed continued membership of any party?

Well, all said and done, the common man has no benefit in it all, except e-warriors with stipends or emotional benefits from taking sides.

jchioma:
I stand with Buhari on this. Itself Sagay can go stick his opinion somewhere else. Jagaban no reach! Oshi-omo-ole de learn am.

Can you legally contradict the position of Sagay on the matter rather than standing with Buhari for personal reasons?

Giadom's purported legality is based on nothing because the order died a natural death 2 weeks after issuance and cannot be resurrected as claimed.

tbuba:
There is no accountability in IPPIS, only fraud.

Please can you explain the fraud with IPPIS?

JosEast:
Problems everywhere

Na so. Nobody wants to be accountable or want his or her means of defrauding Nigeria to blocked or stopped.

When IPPIS came to Tertiary Institutions, ASUU went on strike and stated that it was selective and wasn't applied to NNPC, DPR, etc.

When IPPIS comes to Oil Industry, PENGASSAN and NUPENG threaten strike!

Racoon:
Aisha Buhari is really asserting herself.She is now a cabal herself.So how come the authority was blaming here team earlier? So Tunde & his gang truly put the lives of the first family on the line?

The discovery that a female hostess on the shuttles to Lagos, Abuja and Kano with the private jet used by the Presidential aide tested positive is what I believe, changed the narrative and pulled the scales from the President's eyes.

The ADC had earlier been reassigned to Force Headquarters and Tunde returned back to his duties without any isolation before this new announcement.

Harrynight:


Politics is a comedy in Naija

2016 Obaseki Contest on APC platform against Ize Iyamu of PDP

2020 Obaseki will be Contesting on PDP platform against Ize Iyamu who's now in APC

Table don turn

I think it will be good if INEC make rules like "You cannot be a party's flag bearer in any election or contest in primaries if you have not been a member of the party for at least one year!"

All these decamping and political horse trading are never beneficial to the common man. They are borne out of selfish desires.

A party is not just like a vehicle you take to an event. A party is supposed to have their own ideologies, principles, manifesto and a contract with the people on what they stand for. A party is the one that purportedly wins elections. How can a Republican suddenly become a Democrat a couple of weeks to primaries because he lost the Republican nomination ticket?

All these political drama that look like soap opera in which the common man is gleefully taking sides are the reasons why they don't get dividents of democracy! You can't expect a purported Cow clearly behaving like a Horse to deliver milk and power your dairy farm!

doggedfighter:
Guess sincerity has another meaning now

Someone should tell Ehanire to take it easy. He is not in a lieing contest and Nigerians are not all that gullible to swallow his fabrications.

Baloranking:
Good one for the people of Edo state.

The time has come, regardless of the party say no to "Godfatherism".

No to Godfatherism in APC but yes to undemocratic processes in PDP that imposes Governorship and Deputy Governorship candidates.

Both are never to the benefit of the common man.

nairavsdollars:
Hypocrite. Why didn't he speak up when Sowore was arrested?

He is not an activist by vocation. He has a right to speak up only when matters concern him and that doesn't make him a hypocrite. He has not claimed to be the conscience of the nation.

Let us not be in a haste to condemn people.

Luckydubby7:
Inec chairman just announced school leaving certificate as one of the requirements to contest for governorship position.
So to me Obaseki have no single problem.
Let him just present his ssce certificate.

The problem is that if you have pleaded or presented other certificates to the same body in the past under oath that are later found to be fakes or unsubstantiated. That means you lied on oath and guilty of perjury.
