updates (AKWA IBOM) :
"The so called security reports alleging
pockets of violence, were dumped at the
tribunal and the makers of the exhibits
were never invited to be cross examined
in line with the Evidence Act.
They didn’t call witnesses polling unit by
polling unit.
MY LORD FROM WHICHEVER WAY YOU
LOOK AT IT , THEY HAVE FAILED AND WE
URGE THEIR LORDSHIPS TO ALLOW
THEM TO FAIL .”
-Counsel to PDP

"They (APC) also alleged that there was
no voting, yet they tendered ballot
papers as exhibits.
Form EC8A(result sheets) used
throughout the state was tendered by
the petitioner (APC) yet he said there was
no collation of results.
No explanation was given for this
contradiction.
That “No voting” was used by the tribunal
to nullify elections in 18 local
governments while the appeal court ruled
that there was over voting and nullified
the elections in the entire state, relying
on the information gathered through the
card reader "
-Counsel to PDP


“The petitioner (APC) alleged that no
accreditation took place in the Akwa
Ibom governorship elections, but the
judgement of the appeal court had it that
there was over voting.
It is illogical that over voting could be
realise in an election where there was
disenfranchisement ".
-Lawyer to PDP


"The court of Appeal refered to 448,307
As the number Of Accredited Voters and
used that to declare that there was over
voting. It did not refer In Its Judgement
were It got that figure. No one knows the
source. It was the evidence of a pw49.
The tribunal had rejected the evidence of
Pw49 and all the evidences tendered by
him... The court of appeal overlooked the
decision of the lower court. PW 49 did
not prove that 448,307 represented the
total number of accredited voters in the
state.
The court of appeal did a grave injustice
to us by using a simple fraction of the
total number of voters to nullify the
result in the state. My lord please correct
this injustice and uphold the result as
announced by INEC”
_Counsel to PDP.

The supreme court declared that akwa ibom state guber election as announced by inec stands!!!

Absolute rubbish. This is the type of stories pastors in Nigeria tell their congregations & the gullible will believe it. How's it scientifically possible for a woman to carry pregnancy for that long without doctors intervention? No labor inducement, no c section? They (doctors) just sit & watch. Tell that story to the dogs & the collectively hypnotized,illiterate & spiritually bankrupt Nigerians who erroneously belive they will tithe their way out of poverty.

My brother the ignorance of the populace as fueled by religion is legendary. This people think everybody is foolish and gullible, but the joke is on them. Why can't they adopt children legally than the lies and funny stories? This family don't know God!

Funny how some people think they can deceive everybody. Must u lie to make God great? Tell us the name of the hospital the babies were delivered and the doctor that handled it. God judgement awaits u all.

The minister of information blamed fuel scarcity on Jonathan. Minister of health blamed Lassa fever on Jonathan. Chairman of APC blamed Nigeria's present economic hardship on God. And now, Audu Ogbe, minister of Agriculture, has blamed the dwindling economy on IBB! This is the most irresponsible government you can get anywhere in the world.

CharlyNick:
Mind what you say BRO....... This man has integrity

That's what you think. But records and events don't agree with that opinion.

MalcoImX:
Bloggers are obsessed with our Sai Baba. They thought the way to buy a mansion in Banana Island is to drag his name in the mud.

It's an open secret bro,check ur 2016 budget. I'm not a blogger.

This president lies about everything
including his age.
Decades ago, he was older than IBB, but
now IBB is older than him.
This president who claims to hate
spending money (so much that he used
sachet milk during the campaigns), has
just voted more than N 70 million of tax
payers money for his hair cut in 2016
alone.
How can you call such a crook a man of
integrity?

So my neighbour promised to sell me baby clothes, baby food and toys at bargain prices if I allowed him impregnate my wife... I agreed... Even though I had initially gone to his house to ask him for jobs for my four grown children.. To that request he promised to give me some of his excess food for free to feed them, an offer that was still predicated on my allowing him impregnate my wife...

Meanwhile I had farmland as far as the eye could see, land that had rivers powerfully flowing through it... but somehow I couldn't figure out that the land I had was a source of food, and on those rivers I could build dams to irrigate the land and generate electricity, and with electricity I could build factories, in those factories my children could work and make products which I could sell to my neighbour at prices which would not only feed my children but clothe, educate, treat, protect and entertain them... Somehow it alluded me that I could actually help myself... So instead I allowed my neighbour impregnate my wife...
And when he did it, he insisted his sister live in my house to care for my wife during the pregnancy, and she brought a helper with her, who had to come with her own three children... And I had no choice since I needed the free food offered for my four grown children... I received just enough to feed them for a week... And when it was finished... I returned to my neighbour to ask for more... This time he asked for some of my land in exchange... I had plenty so I quickly gave him and he gave me just enough food in return...

Somehow I became inebriated by greed and without the knowledge of my wife or children, I kept some of the food for myself, an act so ironic because I actually went back to my neighbour and begged him to keep it hidden for me, to which my neighbour agreed and charged me some of my land as his fees for keeping part of the food he had initially given me, for me... This exchange happened over and over again until one day I woke up and found out that my land, my wife and my children... Directly and indirectly belonged to my neighbour...
And I who was once free was now unconsciously enslaved by my neighbour... My name is Africa... And you just might have met my neighbour... He smiles a lot, perfectly mannered and always says he comes in peace with a pocketful of charity and a trailer loaded with human rights.

freeze001:
Let me ask u, is it the name and structure of the party PDP that wrought havoc in Nigeria or the human members and leaders of the party? Who are the current members of APC and what are their antecedents? Is it party membership that determines capability or the innate character of the people who make up such parties?

With all the accidents that have occurred with airplanes and vehicles, whom do u blame? The operators or the vehicle/airplane? If the same person handles a v-boot recklessly will he suddenly become a better driver because he now handles a Toyota?

Pls allow the boy to wallow in his folly;
For such is the destiny of aisha's "agent of change".

Recently, I was chatting with a very close friend who is serving in the APC government. The chat was flowing well until I asked if the continuous fall of the Naira against the $ and barring people from accessing their funds were part of government economic revival strategy. The moment I dropped that chat, he read it but stopped chatti

Fidel Albert is a lawyer who has handled a lot of court cases for apc, and he wrote this:

I am APC through and through. At least as
of today. I detest the PDP and what they
stood for the past 16 years. I cannot
touch the PDP with a ten meter pole. But
i would be mad to imagine that the APC is
that Bethsaida Pool, or even the River of
Jordan, that enjoys the fellowship of
angels who trouble its waters, and
instantly heals every soul that is diseased,
once they are immersed as members. I
have no such delusion. Nor do i imagine
every member of PDP to have been evil.
Some people did excellently either as PDP
members or as serving in the successive
PDP governments. On the other hand,
there are questions regarding the
integrity of several APC chieftains that
have not been properly answered till this
very day. But because we imagine the
APC to be the River of Jordan, and this
people are the gatekeepers, we conclude
therefore that their leprous souls have
been healed. But i have no such
delusions.


The other day, I thought myself good-
natured to wish Goodluck Jonathan a
happy birthday on facebook. I did this
because despite being his opponent
politically, and actively campaigning
against him, i recognized that he did this
country a great service by conceding
defeat at the polls, deflating the palpable
tension and deflecting what was an
imminent crisis. I thought he deserved
my gratitude for being so graceful and
elegant in defeat. My friends thought i
had betrayed the APC by felicitating with
the man on his birthday. Only that! Such
hypocrites.
Where was i again when Fayemi lost to
Fayose in 2014 and called to congratulate
Fayose. The entire APC hierarchy went
mad! How could he dare? How can he
concede defeat? What impudence! APC
never conceded defeat in that election.
As a matter of fact, APC challenged that
election right up to the Supreme Court,
and lost all the way. But guess what?
Fayemi, the candidate, was not joined as
a party to the petition. He was left out of
the fray. So, for those who said conceding
defeat was a common place gesture and
should not be commended, do not forget
APC's reaction in 2014, in the Ekiti
election. Do not also forget that this
country was boiling in 2015, and boiling
hot, and GEJ's action alone was, in my
view, responsible for diffusing that
tension. Can we forget so easily how
crowded MM International Airport was,
with people scratching and clawing to get
out before the polls? So many people
relocated from Nigeria. I even recall a
friend of mine, whose child was born in
the US, receive a call from the American
embassy that they wanted their Citizen,
his child, out of Nigeria before the
elections. Who can deny the prevailing
sentiments of that period?


It would seem the politics of Nigeria is
"either or." So i can't be caught talking to
a PDP member if i am in APC and vice
versa. Or no matter what, I must
demonise everything PDP and eulogise
everything APC. I cannot do that. Where
GEJ did well, I'll give him credit. Where
Buhari fails, I'll be the first to criticize
him. Maybe i'm not Nigerian.
I do not imagine Buhari to be God. At
least he is not my GOD. He is not above
reproach. He is not beyond criticism. In
any event, I am naturally iconoclastic. My
congenital tendency is to dare, where
others fret. So you can understand when i
say that I see nothing divine in him,
except that providence made him
President, against all odds. And it was for
a reason. So when all economic indices
are low, and I, as an ordinary man, feel
the suffocating squeeze on a daily basis,
and people who should be concerned are
rather aimlessly defending, or inventing
subterfuges, on a daily basis, because
BUHARI is president, then i feel
extremely sorry. I am an APC man
through and through, but i wont be caught
dead on that bandwagon.


There is no substitute for self-examinatio
n for the APC. PDP died the day it lost its
conscience and could no longer take an
objective view of its policies and actions.
If we must survive as a party, we must be
able to listen, listen hard and respond to
criticism. The criticism must not always
be constructive, but our response must
be. We must always take the moral high
road and be blameless. And the one way
of ensuring that APC dies very soon, is to
set up and worship a mere mortal as god,
before whom we must all fall in obeisance
and ask no questions. Once we've been
able to set up a cult personality in Buhari
and momentarily convulse in blind rage
anytime he is criticized, then we are ready
to die, as PDP died. So, when the Army
kills and maims, at the slightest
provocation and you say Buhari is right, a
piece in us dies. When a Court grants bail
and someone uses executive fiat to
unconstitutionally detain suspects in
custody, and you say Buhari is right,
another piece dies. When socialist policies
are introduced into a free market
economy with the immediate effect that i
can no longer pay for goods abroad, or
access my hard-earned cash abroad, or
even freely trade internationally and you
say Buhari is right, yet another piece dies.
We will continue to die, i assure you, in
installments, piece after piece, as we
insist on living in self-denial, till it
becomes difficult to know the exact place,
time and occasion we indeed died.


Recently, I had the ultimate
embarrassment in Dubai Mall where i
went shopping. I had parked several
items to the counter and confidently
whipped out my card to make payment.
When the figures were punched in, alas
my card was blocked. A message came on
the POS machine "do not honor purchases
on this card." And the Arabs looked at me
funny. What? For what offence? I have
never served in Government or stolen
Government funds. But my president cast
his anti-corruption net too wide and now
has a quarry of both fishermen and fishes
in his net. Let the fishermen go, and let
the fishes fry. The law, as implemented,
must be able to distinguish both. Or not?
Let me say that given the short duration
of his government, Buhari has done
extremely well in some areas. And I
commend him for this. Electricity is near
constant now. This is phenomenal. And I
don't share the sentiments of the
deluded GEJites, who would be quick to
say GEJ put together the structure.
Buhari has fixed, or shall i say is fixing,
power. That is a good thing. The PDP
government could not achieve this in 16
years. The war on corruption is also
splendid. My only misgiving is that it
seems a bit one-sided. Only prominent
PDP members. There has to be one
person in APC, defunct ACN, ANPP or any
other party who held power in any state
in Nigeria between 1999 and 2015 who
was corrupt. Who stole government
funds. And i don't mean Saraki. None?
That would be an absolute miracle. But
let's keep looking, so that we do not
entirely discredit the motive of the anti-
graft campaign as being a witch-hunt
exercise. Let's keep looking at and into
the APC, we might just find one person
and show a good example of our internal
self-cleansing policy.


The most critical thing now, requiring
urgent attention, is the economy. The
economy has to be fixed. I recognise that
we met it in shambles. Everything PDP
touched turned to dust, no doubt. PDP
was Midas bewitched. But we cannot
spend the next four years crying about
how bad we met the economy. We knew
how bad it was before we aspired to fix
it. It was the punchline of our campaign
promises. We've won the elections now.
It's time to get to work. We must open
up the economy instead of closing it. Lure
back the investors, as they make painful
detours to Ghana and Cameroun. Keep
the cash flowing in the system. Give
attention to education. It's a tough job,
mind. But there just has to be a better
way to do this than the socialist ideology
that seems to be unfolding.


There we are! I have had my say. Let the
heavens fall.
Still loyal to the APC.

I went to phcn office this morning to recharge my prepared meter. On recharging the card, i noticed the amount per unit has been increased yet the sum did not just explain the less number of units given. I asked the offficial to reconcile the account and he told me part of the money went for fix charge.
Why has phcn not complied with fg directive?
was it just a trick to increase electricity tarrif?
We are in for a long thing!

muri4mig:
Knowing the difference between tiers and arms of government does not translate into good governance. If he know good governance and cannot differentiate between tiers and arms of government, my brother, Nigerians will be fine. Let the waillers continue.

Really!! Well the challenge is that money allocated for local govt might just be channeled to the judiciary! u see why u are so bright?

folksync:
I wouldn't make this mistake in my dream but that doesn't mean some people can't. Even very educated ones.

FINAL NOTE: This thread is mischievous. The OP was not out to correct or give Mr. President the benefit of the doubt that it could have been a slip of tongue. This amounts to a personal attack and a desperate one too. This thread is not worth anything. It is as useless to the economy as Olamide -Don't Jazzy feud is.

u are right bro. i was of the opinion that buhari was a science student, he never studied govt. and so should be excused.

ehissi:
Apart from clueless and senile, what other words can be used to describe this phenomenon!!??

senescent, doddering, incompetent .. .

Simplymeah:
leave wit it man,@ least 4 d next 4 years

Ok my "change" agent, do we really have a choice? It's a plague we have to "enjoy" for 4 years .

ehissi:
Arms of Government:- Executive, Legislature, Judiciary

Tiers of Government:- Federal, State, Local!!

This president is not too bright; but that doesn't make him less powerful! Infact, it makes him potentially dangerous cause power could easily be misused/abuse in error!!

Respect.

aziddam1001:
He probably thought arms of government. Nobody is above making mistakes. And since arms and tiers are both 3, that would even make it more confusing for the old man

Yea! The same "thought" that made him thank president michel of western germany, fail to give the correct meaning of inec etc. Pls u guys should be proud and stop trying to explain to the world.

Okaka27:
go n die

stale! pls be more creative!

sule17:
Can ur father be president?

Yes!! president of west germany!!! Sule the almajiri.

DaBullIT:
Wailer alert

yea agent of "change". keep enjoying the "change" from aisha and lie muhd. U deserve ur money bro.
I also expect the other agent to like ur post.

Tiers of government and arms of government are taught in secondary school. Every secondary school kid knows that the judiciary is not a tier of government. But Buhari had the mind to go live on national TV and tell us that the judiciary is a tier of government. What further evidence do we need to know that this man did not attend secondary school as he falsely claimed on oath? TEACHER DON'T TEACH US NONSENSE

Dr. Ben Carson (Retired world renowned neurosurgeon, and Republican Presidential Aspirant) wrote this beautiful piece. Read and be blessed. Sometimes you are unsatisfied with your life, while many people in this world are dreaming of living your life. A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead and dreams of flying. But, a pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of returning home. That's life!! Enjoy yours. If wealth is the secret to happiness, then the rich should be dancing on the streets. But only poor kids do that. If power ensures security, then officials should walk unguarded. But those who live simply, sleep soundly. If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages. But those who live simply, walk humbly and love genuinely! All good will come back to you!!! Man asks, “Where was God when Myles Munroe, wife and his associates were killed in a crash? He answers, "The same place I sat when John the Baptist my servant was beheaded. When Stephen my servant was stoned to death. When Paul my servant was murdered in Rome. The same place I sat when my only Son was brutally crucified, wounded, bruised and killed. I have not moved from my position." I am the same. It is not the means of exit from earth that matters but the destination. Live simply. It's all about God!!

After Our bloggers met with lie muhammed and aisha buhari, the tempo of promoting lies escalated.
They infiltrate fora in large numbers, propagate false info and get plenty likes and comments to support their claims; thus, giving the impression that their claim is real/popular.
There are places in ph. and akwa ibom that had 23-24hrs light for years now, but did that translate to improved electricity nationwide?

Mynd44:
State house allocations includes but is not limited to the running of the house including the security, painting, works and lowering anf all other running of the entire house. It is also out of this that hosting evebts is coming out of .

Why am I even responding to this if the OP can call the report of a 1.7 billion in food which emanated from Trent as "reliable sources"

Do me a favor
Gerrarahia.

As for the breakdown, wait until each minister come to defend his/her allocation and you get to hear what goes where. Stop putting the cart before the horse.

Whats with Nigerians sef?

Did u just know this?
Hypocrisy is when you say that # 1b is
too high for feeding in Aso Rock under
Jonathan, but #1.7b is not high for
feeding in Aso Rock under Buhari.
And to think that this is coming from a
man who keeps telling to us that he
wants to reduce the cost of government.
Shame.

abduljabbar4:
Fool, as it is right now some "literate" soldiers are serving 10 years imprisonment for running away from Boko haram due to "lack of weapons" when they were using the same AK47 Boko haram is using while the civilian JTF is using sticks, knives, cutlasses and wands to fight the terrorists without any fear. Why didnt the "literate soldiers" discover the bombs yesterday and allowed the illiterates to find it?

You claim that Buhari is an illiterate but so far he has been doing far better than ur stpeed, useless and senseless otuuoke drunkard PHD holder

U don't just make statement that can't be verified. Care to post a link that shows the NA is dominated by the south?

stifej:
I bet no Northerner benefitted from the Niger Delta amnesty program. Hundreds of ND youths are in foreign countries on FG sponsorship. That's their reward for militancy. These gallant men on the other hand put their lives on the line. Making sacrifice for others. The South-South has been rewarded for their militancy. Maybe if there were vigilante group helping the military to fight against Militancy in the SS. They too would have probably been extended the same gesture by the military.

u have 80% of the oil wells, take a greater % of federal allocation and still want to share in the amnesty programme? smh!

Duru1:
The same corruptible endeavor of 1961/62 engineered by Tafawa Balewa that saw the unqualified recruits such as Muhammadu Buhari and bunch of coup precipitators into Nigerian army as officers is about to happen all over again. What happens to the quota system that has become the hallmark of northern Nigeria’s deceitful machination? What number of northern vigilante absolved into the armed forces should be liberally applied to other parts of the country? In fact, I do not blame the northerners but most southerners who are inherently idiotic.

So on point!!!

abduljabbar4:
The military already is dominated by southerners and the civilian JTF members are not going to be recruited for no reason. Just yesterday they detected 5 bombs that could have killed or injured at least 3000 people

Are u related to lie muhammed?

romme2u:
this ur oversabi will lead u astray. incomplete information and poor analytical skill can only make u pompous, it does not mean u know what(and are sure) u are doing.

no wonder the guy no gree join issue with u. i can't enlighten u because u have decided to see a hill instead of a mountain.

Exactly my take on the guy. I wanted to engage him but a quick run through his previous post showed the guy is clever by half, twisting facts to suit his fancy.
I didn't need to waste my time with him, but thank God the internet is there for people who truly wish to have an objective view about the issue to peruse.
