Meekha:
You have not also made any objective sense. Don't tag any critique you see about this government a handiwork of Igbos. El-Rufai's son did the same thing and the person he thought was an Igbo wasn't. Same here. I am from the north...

Where were you when some honest Islamic clerics called out Buhari about his incompetency and nonchalance about the state of affairs of this nation!? Are they also Igbo$? Or are you doping some substance?

You are doing this country a colossal disservice if you think not critiquing the government is a patriotic move. But you're bias filled brain isn't thinking straight..

The generations unborn will curse you to your face. Keep deceiving yourself!

Meekha:
You this low budget devil. The people you're always condemning, how are you any better than them? Like them, you also nurture SERIOUS bias about the government. When have you ever condemn the ills of this government? You spew thrash about people critiquing this government because they should remain silent and die abi?
Do you know how to rid yourself of bias and face reality objectively?

Has Buhari performed as expected? Has he delivered on his campaign promises? Should he be criticized if he has not?

Every time you'll be talking about the previous government and how they looted the treasury dry. Why then did your sweet daddy campaign to be elected? Are you even thinking at all?

The prices of goods have gone up to as much as three times they were before he came into power and you want people to keep quiet and be patient? For five solid years? Are you OK at all?

What did he say about the slight increment in petrol price during Jonathan's time?

Has he done better? Compared to then, has the standard of living of Nigerians fared any better? Did he protest the increase in fuel price during Jonathan's time?

Why is he bundling protesters now? Shouldn't the same treatment administered to the goose be also given to the gander?

If you've really passed the age of thirty and you're doing this trash, then you are a compound fool. No cap!

You are full of insults and deficient in objective reasoning but you're quick to tag other people "kiddo". You better do something great with your life. Everyone knows that your daddy has failed and your very long epistles and unpleasant use of grammar cannot undo it...

I dey shame for your family.

Kennitrust:
Nice achievement.

But to be very candid about The situation in this part of the world.... Life IS TOO HARD.


For the first time in about twenty years of my self-struggle, I have never admitted that life is hard, it's my first experience in life since bubu take over power.

If not that I fear God, I will have commit suicide.

I have never witness a terrible president as this.
If prayer used to work in our direction, I will have spend all my energy to pray for something that will overthrow this man government.

The pains i goes through to make a living is terrible and my first experience in all my life.

To all of us who felt the pains this government inflicted on us, God will surely keep us alive to see it end.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
When the final judgement comes out you are going to see what real property looks like

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Please I will like to know why Nigerians are so illiterate and stupid?



I remember when I was in the United Kingdom in Nigeria came on TV on Channel 4 saying that Nigerians in different countries do not have a choice they must support and vote for in Criminal. He also went on saying why Nigerians all over the world should support criminals. This is on a developed country television and I want that to myself why are Nigerians voting for this type of people all over the world.

As I travel all over the world I meet my Nigerian people and what I hear from them is shocking. They have been brainwashed to extreme measures. A lot of Nigerians will tell you it is better for them to vote for somebody which can do nothing for them then to vote for an outsider. My Nigerian people will tell you it is better that they suffer voting for a Nigerian that to vote for somebody else. When you see the illiteracy in Nigerian people you will know it is difficult to change them. When they start telling you in developed countries if we are suffering is no problem let's help ourselves


you will find a Nigerian all he wants to do is destroy all the companies all the industry's all the factories he will chase out of the country, after the companies will be locate, 5 years later he is sending his children to work in those companies in another country expecting his children to be employed. We have a serious problem with illiteracy.


You find Nigerian Embassy in other countries paying Nigerian people to protest like in Ghana South Africa Nigerian Embassy in Spain Nigerians 5 to 10 US dollar a day to go on the road and protest. Nigerian shops and businesses are being closed in a lot of countries then the government is paying Nigerians in those countries to protest. Illiteracy


Why are Nigerians in embarrassment to the world and why are they so illiterate they worship and praise criminals all over the world they do not even care about their future and their children's future as long as they are following a criminal which can do nothing for they are very happy


This is the same scenario with we Nigerians all over the world in America in Europe Australia Canada New Zealand it is no difference we only want to follow a criminal please I need somebody to answer this question for me

Agbegbaorogboye:
How exactly did Buhari save the country if I may ask?

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Illiterate it's Not Over Until it's over wait till the end of the court case

Racoon:
Yes! I vouched for Atiku because he was better of the two evils than the affirmed & reaffirmed catastrophe Nigeria have on seat today.

favor914:
It has nothing to do with EFCC, the lawyers championed by Malami & VP Osinbajo cracked the case open based on technicalities (brain power), not agidi.

Racoon:
What has Racoon done to you man? What is good about this nation that the corrupt leadership have set backwards many years with their own corruption?

What is the difference between what P & ID is doing to Nigeria that the likes of Maina, Lawal Babachir, Ibori, Gandollar, Goje, Orji Kalu etc have not done? Just a case of different criminals in the same settings.So take a chill.

omenka:
Awesome. I pray Nigeria keeps winning, despite the utterly useless crop of leaders we have.

You would never see Racoon on a thread like this. Dude hates anything good happening to the country. He would rather Nigeria loses the case against P&ID and pay an hefty fine.

Eriokanmi:
Don't mind them jor. Since the beginning of this campaign, pdp had been peaceful in conducts all along. They just want to use kabaka boys to change the people's minds by taking to violence but e no go work. They're simply playing their trump card. I urge security operatives to swing to action and arrest those idiots and never release them until after election. They must be interrogated. Those who shot at pdp vehicles who confessed being sent by the apc to assassinate pdp members are still in the police net. If ize-iyamu got 20% of edo votes, he must be super lucky. They have been angry at the result of the opinion polls conducted by channels tv yesterday in which obaseki led ize-iyamu falala. This has caused great shock in their camp since last night and there had been chaos here and there ever since. Election no be by force na. We told them from day one that obaseki is winning this election but they never wanted to agree.

Obaseki isn't a violent man. Is it me someone would come and change his mind now against obaseki or my mama wey be head of market women for uselu who spent lots of money campaigning for obaseki? She's not a politician but has so much love for this man or my dad who's a friend to the local govt chairman and a retired oil and gas man?. Only those who are not from edo would believe this crap. We full ground here. Kabaka would commit suicide laslas.

Guyman02:
The Army yesterday changed its earlier lie and statement to the public that he was killed after a 'firefight' that lasted for hours to a simple 'he was killed after an encounter with soldiers' leaving out other details because of widespread condemnation of the the cold blooded murder of this guy.

Evidence from several eyewitnesses indicated that Gana was seated in the same car with the Local Govt Chairman and a Catholic Priest who represented the Bishop of Katsina-Ala in a long convoy with other repentant militia members heading to Makurdi to meet with the state governor waiting for them after publicly renouncing criminality and pledging their allegiance to Tiv traditional rulers and the Catholic Bishop never to go back to criminality, all security agencies were informed and the police was present, the Army GOC (who is a Fulani) was duly informed but he used that information to waylay, single out and murder the guy and placing a rifle beside his corpse.

Been granted and accepting amnesty from the state governor whom the constitution bestowed that prerogative means he was innocent at the time he was killed in the eyes of the law (not before God) and his family deserve compensation.

The reality is that despite his criminal past, the action by our Army has turned Gana into a sudden hero who successfully dealt with Fulani herdsmen militia who terrorised Benue, many people also see the action as a great insult on the Tiv traditional institution, the Catholic Bishop and leaders who persuaded this guy to come out from the trenches and embrace peace and as a revenge mission by Fulanis, the consequences we may see later like the killing of Mohammed Yusuf which gave us Boko Haram which we spend a huge chunk of our national budget fighting annually in the last 10 years.

Some are also wondering why the Army is biased as they will sew Asoebi for repentant Fulani bandits and Boko Haram with plenty money to go back home but will murder a repentant militia leader in Benue granted amnesty by the Governor.

helinues:
She may be right though.

Sebi FG has been pampering the acclaimed Boko Haram repentant, let them also extend their hands of good will to Gana's family.

What is good for the goose....

rentAcock:
I hate to blame the victim, however, why didn't she report the case to the UK authorities when she was still in the UK? What was she doing at the guy's apartment to begin with? Had it been she reported the case in the UK, they would've carried out an unbiased investigation and if found guilty, the guy would've lost his medical license and served time.

ThatFairGuy1:
Mumu. You're making this kinda comment in Edo despite knowing this is what the opposition use as their campaign slogan for sympathy votes! YOU WAN POUR SAND INTO POI'S GARRI?
You had better face your Acting jejely and leave politics for politicians

highflyer012020:
Gej meant well for nigeria and nigerian, only the enemies of the country, those filled with hate, selfish ambition, bigotry are the ones that want him out because he is not from the north. a man that reduces bokoharam with little arm from US.

Hyperchi:
U are a fool for not know but u think u know, u may not escape ur foolishness. The fraud started during yaradua time. They sign it in his death bed. Bro jo govt was sued to court the way the company sued naija in buhari time. So how him use thief u.

Thomthom:
You guys will just type what you can't defend in a court of law... Do you have the evidence to this your comment

Awol1:
Nigeria's Fulani army eliminated the only threat to their subduing of the Benue people.

What happened was a revenge killing. Because nothing justifies the murder of someone who has accepted amnesty and surrendered arms; which the governor said all security agents were made aware of.

But the Fulani should hear this, that a thousand "Gana" shall rise from that land.

Fools!

thesicilian:
Donald Trump's hated by lots of people who do not understand what's going on in world politics today. But the truth is, if Americans make the mistake of voting him out for Joe Biden, they might end up getting a worse deal than Nigerians who chose Buhari over Jonathan.

wonder233:
Very funny! Can't you guys see the pattern? When the politicians want DSTV to come and "settle" or when they are dissatisfied with current "settlement" and need more, they will first threaten with a senate or house resolution or a ministerial directive warning DSTV...if the obstinacy continues, you will start hearing of "TSTV" again from nowhere. Then when they finally "settle", everything dies down again, till the next cycle.

Zeezy81:
No they won't
They come with facts




When you are done reading, kindly enumerate 10 things Oshiomole, Lucky, and by extension Ize Iyamu did for the same State while they held sway.

After that, do well to point out Obaseki's sins.

I honestly want to know what he did wrong. I am mon-partisan, whatever will grow Edo is all I'm up for.

GodsOwnFav:
This article is not clear on why the allegation is false. Is he saying the money didn't hit the account or is that the money was never used to procure the said property for magu. And how on earth can a whopping over 500m be transferred in error, that to me is absurd!

Deborah98:
Keeping a sugar cube thinking it won't attract ant, that's what your statements imply,it is very wrong for me to have a male bestie when I already have a boyfriend,if he isn't my bestie,I wonder what he is then.

TheChameleon:
I am firmly APC...but let's not kid ourselves.

Those people usually come out for money or curiosity.

Love no dey the equation.

They thought they were witching hunting a man that meant them well.Well, histroy has taught them a bitter lesson with change & next level.It can never be the same with the backwardness the north has imposed on itself.
