You are not fit to use the name Salman Rushdie.

Someone says he would be willing to plunge the country into inflation to win foreign investments and you are carrying it about as a viable method.

I read the article severally and I didn't see one sense nor a great method of drawing foreign investors into the country.

asobo:
You support Buhari because he means well for which country. The aftermath of general election will shock you.

On the contrary, it is you who would be shocked.

Parents of millions of schoolchildren who are getting free food (including eggs) will vote for Buhari.

Ex. workers of the defunct Nigerian Airways who have received some of the entitlements owed them by OBJ and Atiku would vote for Buhari.

Farmers who have become millionaires from the projects to encourage homegrown foods would vote for Buhari.

Stay there and continue waiting for Buhari to buy you your daily meals while many are enjoying the people-oriented projects of this administration.

asobo:
What defines a true northerner? A true northerner why Fulani's will encroach my farm with their cattle's and chase me out of my farm. I am from Adamawa state, Numan local government. I want to burst not bubble this morning NOT ALL NORTHERNERS ARE MUSLIMS. Since you guys have found new love with SW enjoy your new found love Mr.

I don't even understand your post one bit.

Slazim:
True, but using the "loot" thingy against him is not fair at all as it served the present administration too.

Bro, it is fair. Nigerians should know that Atiku has nothing to offer. If it is not Buhari, it should definitely not be Atiku.

How can we trust our commonwealth with a man whose records are very questionable?

No matter how hard OBJ supports Atiku, the portion on Atiku in OBJ's book can never be erased. Atiku is a looter. Get his money if you can but never vote for him.

Slazim:
No one disputes the source of his income, the question is did donating it to Buhari make the "loot" clean.

What if he did?

He was merely used and dumped. No sane party would include Atiku in governance.

He was so ignored in APC that he had to run back to his vomit (PDP).

asobo:
See this one I am a northerner. Ne che ke ke dan Adamawa ne, idan baka sane ba. Ba dole bane kowa sai ya ye Buhari

Stop lying.

That you can write Hausa is not an evidence.

No true Northerner will give such regards to Tompolo.

Mk17:
So presidents are not corrupt?, police is not corrupt? Only opposition senators are corrupt?
The presidency always tag senators as corrupt especially those of the opposition while closing their eyes on corruption thriving under their very nose.
So your very capable police can't even decern the location of someone carrying mobile phone? The person is even using internet.
Dino can hide from now till next year and your very capable police will not be able to locate him.
Popular people like tompolo have been hiding in this shithole for about four years now and you have over paid police in this country.
Just because he was very vocal in booing Mr President, you now remember that he assaulted a police officer about a year ago.
This is one of the best Senate when it comes to passing bills and taking on the presidency if necessary. They are not a yes yes Senate like we normally have in Nigeria . That is why the presidency is witch-hunting their members

Oga, is Dino the only senator facing charges?

He should go and answer the police and save us unnecessary drama.

mykelswa:
Oga as dey assassinated the to military Men last year was it obvious or not. Use ur head

Do you know the meaning of "obvious"?

Can you say with certainty and swear by your life that you know who sponsored the assassination?

Mk17:
how many social media case have the political police slam against dino this few years alone? because he was one of the first to boo buhari during budget presentation police suddenly remembered he has assaulted a police officer a year back?
no one takes the Nigerian police serious because they have always been an affiliate of FG . so your American police break people house when they are not around? police in human countries would have left his house and declare him wanted, deploying every apparatus against him when they discovered he is not around instead of wasting taxpayers money guarding the house .
the joke of overpaid police can't locate someone who is constantly using the internet and even uploading videos.
this quota system police should be abolish and replace with a more independent community or state police filled with graduate of various departments not some political slot fillers

Were you not the one who asked me whether I believed that Dino was truly invited?

But when it suits you, you want to believe that Dino is truly not around simply because he said so.

I don't like the police, neither do I like Nigerian politicians, especially the lawmakers whose stake at providing better laws are fraught with selfish interest and corruption.

He better come out and let the police do their job.

If not for personal problems with the president (or perhaps benefits from the corrupt political system), I don't know why anyone would be supporting a Senator.

Ishilove:
What is this man carrying on his head, bikonu??

Hair.

MorbidAngel7:
I Agree With You.But The Desperation Of The Nigerian Police Cant Be Ignored.He Is A Senator For Christ Sakes.He Wont Skip Town.He Will Turn Himself In Eventually

Bro, this is 6 months after the invitation of the police. I don't see how the police are desperate.

They are even treating him with respect, considering his status.

If he tried this nonsense with any police departments in the US, they will break down his door and drag him out.

asobo:
I pity those in charge now after Atiku wins the general elections. Government Tompolo will go after them, can't be belief what his family and community went through in the hands of this administration.

You people and chest beating.

Who is Tompolo? He is only known in the Niger Delta area. If he crosses over to the North to try and attack any Northern statesman, he will be beaten back so quickly he wouldn't know what hit him.

MrLife1234:
Somebody said Nigerian youths are lazy, shutdown our schools for the past two months with no remorse on a way forward, do we need to tell Nigeria undergraduates and educated, not to vote APC?

Hold ASUU and leave Buhari alone.

ASUU is the major problem of our institutions. Must government feed them all the time and is strike the only way they can have their way?

With the huge revenues they generate from independently run programs, I don't see why they should be striking all the time government fails to meet their grievances fully.

madmohamed:
you help him buhari to become president. Ntoo he is not Jonathan

What is this one saying

MorbidAngel7:
Stay Put Where You Are.They Could Kill You And Make It Look Like A Suicide.

Staying put will give the police enough justification to kill him.

He better comes out. Why is he scared of the police?

The likes of Adeyanju, FFK have all gone and are still alive.

He should go and answer to whatever charges they have leveled against him.

Mk17:
why should he surrender himself to an organization that is known for breaking the laws that gave birth to their own existence?
I think we all should be clamoring for an independent police not one that is well known for targeting government critics.
which of the many dramas and cases between the police and dino this year has seen the light of the day in the court?
in humans countries, security officials are very careful during election time so as not to appear to be influencing the public. investigation are even suspended in election period to give room for the public to make their choice after which security officials will continue with investigation. but in Africa we love it when opposition leaders are arrest, detain and harassed during election especially when our favorite party is in power. that is why we will always remain a third world country and corruption will thrive in our government because it is winner takes all here and the public that is supposed to demand for change have been divided along tribal line by greedy politicians

He should better be thanking his star that it is the Nigerian Police he has problem with.

Is it the American police departments that would have an arrest warrant and you will refuse to let them into your house?

They will break down your door and drag you out like a sack of potatoes.

Mk17:
don't worry
don't care about the motive till it gets to you someday and no one will care.
dino is not supposed to be my problem as his winning or losing election in kogi state will not have any impart on me that is from Delta State but if we allow democracy to be trampled on because it is not our business, it will may get to us someday as getting to the top is not reserve for dino alone

please, stop being sentimental.

You must already think that Dino is being persecuted but the truth is that you don't even know if the warrant is justified.

Whether they arrest him on elections day or tomorrow does not concern me, hence my reason for saying that I don't care about the motive.

Many ex. workers of the defunct Nigerian Airways have received some of their entitlements.

People are saying that Buhari's motive for paying is political.

But why should anyone care as long as it is making many people smile again?

I don't care about whether there is a motive for arresting Dino. If he has a crime to answer to, he should surrender himself and save us his unnecessary drama.

middlebelter:
I once was opposed to Dino but now, I am fully supporting him in light of what the Nigeria Police is doing under Idris.
Can the Police claim to be neutral in politics of 2019 election? Are their actions not giving tactical support to APC ? Has the allegations of arm build up in Kogi State by the state government been investigated?

The above questions and any more need to be answered by the police. They surely know the electorates will vote Dino next election as Senator not because the people live Dino that much but that is the only formidable voice against Yahaya Bello (PMB annoited Governor).

The way and manner the Governor has been running the state makes any opposition voice a good alternative to the present Governor in Kogi state. Unfortunately, the Tinubu annoited Faleke is being opposed by the cabal in presidency just because of fear of Tinubu. Kogi West by extension deserves the right to a candidate of thier choice band shouldn't be denied through political persecution of Dino Melaye.

We pray our hard earned democracy will be sustained and that on no account should the police be used as an instrument of political persecution.

How many of the killer herdsmen have been arrested and tried? Police face your job and let Dino be for now. After election you may go after him but not now.

The police are doing their job and yet you are telling them to be selective about it.

So because there are herdsmen to tackle, the police should ignore other crimes for now?

Mk17:
so you actually believe he was invited in July and he refused ? what stopped them from arresting him all these while since he has been in Abuja attending all plenary session?why wait till he is on a Christmas break? this attack by the police on dino especially now that election is a few weeks away is to stop him from participating in the election.
I even watched the Senate president interview where he confirmed that enquiry from the clerk of the Senate shows that there is no such in invitation letter.
even if there was such an invitation, why not serve him directly since he has been in Abuja all these while instead of going through the clerk?

I don't know the motive, and I don't care.

When police invite you, the investigation is still at a preliminary stage.

The police can let a year pass between when they invited you and when they seek a warrant of arrest from the magistrate.

The police have tendered evidences of their invitation to Dino. He initially denied getting an invitation until the police tendered evidences. We have not heard Dino refute the evidences.

mykelswa:
Once his out they will inject him to die period.

You people are really funny.

So if the government wants to assassinate Dino, they will make it so obvious?

Even under military regimes, source of assassination are not obvious.

Dino is just a drama queen and an attention seeker. He has a case to answer. He should surrender himself.

shachris02:
ok.

They have built up a lot of fake evidence on top this man head.

Something that happened in June, it took them 6 months to perfect their setup and alibis.

once Dino comes out, first they would use DSS to arrest and place him under custody, and they would deny him of any bail as they are doing to dasuki and El Zaza key.

They want to use to setup to ensure Dino and PDP loses kogi but Dino smart pass them.

He was formally invited in July but he did not honor the invitation.

That is why the police have a warrant to arrest him.

Ken4Christ:
No, it's kingdom financial principles which the Law also taught. It is upheld in the new testament teachings of Jesus and his Apostles.

The first belongs to God. And it still remains a fact. God will never take a second place.

Interesting.

Can you provide a Bible verse of Jesus teaching firstfruits?

And if there are any, might you tell us who His audience(s) was.

While attempting to answer these questions of mine, bear in mind, that Jesus was not sent to the Gentiles. His ministry on earth was specifically to the Jews.

Eres94:
it reflects seeking first the kingdom of God, honor and giving your best.. hmmm

You people should just stop this desperate heresy.

Did you listen to yourself at all? How does firstfruits reflect seeking the Kingdom of God to a Christian?

Perhaps, you are a pastor. But please, don't let your greed for money lead you astray.

The Bible asked an important question: What shall it profit you to gain the whole world and lose your own soul in hell?

Anyone who thinks that, in spite of Christ's sacrifices and death, firstfruits still reflects seeking first the Kingdom of God is really desperate to get hold of other people's money.

Blacklord0739:
Nigeria a lawless country where anybody can do anyhow,even this stupid trailer drivers can drive anywhere....nonsense, RIP

You have never heard about Russia then.

That is a country where you can be cleared off the road even if you are using a Zebra crossing.

I thought this guy was my mate o.

So, he is almost 10 years older than me

Ken4Christ:
Christianity upheld the moral principles taught under the Law of Moses. The only difference is that we are no longer subject to strict rules and regulations such as daily sacrifices, washing of hands and feet etc.

The law teaches, thou shall not kill, it is also upheld in Christianity.

Jesus came to fulfill the law. He made it possible for us to meet the righteous requirements of the Law.

I doubt if you are really born again and fill with the Holy Ghost. Even traditionalist have enough sense to first honour their ancestors when they hold special meetings. You see them pouring some portion of drinks to the earth. Their ancestors most drink first.

Please, have some spiritual common sense.

Is firstfruits a moral principle

MyVILLAGEpeople:
The best Senate President Nigeria ever had. God bless you sir.

How did you reach that conclusion?

Show us one people-oriented bill that these Senate has passed to the president?

You say Bukola is the best senate president. All the man ever did was encourage bills that would benefit him and his ilks.

First, while Nigeria was facing a recession, they would not slash their huge salaries,

They shared expensive jeeps among themselves,

They pushed for pension for Senate President,

They pushed to silence the press and this was strongly supported by Dino who merely wanted to silence Sowore and Sahara Reporters. (Some Nigerians would later claim that it was Buhari that wanted to silence the press).

Tell us "one people-oriented bill" that this worthless Senate has sent to the president?

41?

Did she add to her age or what?

Chenzee:
Lol....If that's the way you interpret it, then I think you need to ask the Holy Spirit for clearer interpretation ma'am....No offense

She is right, bro.

Why not just thank God for your life and leave the dead alone? It is not like you will be alive forever on earth.

I wish you a happy new year.

dominique:
We should thank God for someone else's tragedy? Very self-centered of you

Dominique, my crush. I wish you a prosperous 2019.

This is another day for sober reflections.

Our deaths are drawing nearer every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month and every year.

Those whose time will be up today will be joining others to shout "happy new year" without knowing that their hour is near.

Stay safe, drink responsibly, don't drive while drunk. God bless you all.
