ebusnwaoma: A Nigerian-born British lawmaker Fiona Onasanya , has been jailed for three months for lying following an investigation by the police.
The expelled Labour MP who was found guilty of perverting the course of justice after a retrial in December, was texting as she was speeding on the evening on 24 July 2017. She was clocked driving at 41mph in a 30mph zone in Thorney, near Peterborough.
Nigerian-born British lawmaker who colluded with her brother to avoid the ticket, will however not be losing her job even though a recall petition could force a by-election in her constituency, if signed by 10% of her electorate. Her brother who she colluded with to avoid the ticket, was jailed for 10 months for his involvement after pleading guilty to the same charge. It was learnt that the driver of the car she named, was in Russia at the time of the offence.
Thanks all. I followed option 3 to and fro. It was a cool ride until I got to ihiala orlu axis then to ikwuano. Thank God it's dry season else it would have been terrible. Since it's election period, there are more campaign posters and bill boards than emphasis on good roads. If only all these politicians can close ranks and focus on our roads. I appreciate God for journey Mercies.

REVOLUTION LOADING 98%:::::...
How I wish I can give a million likes to this statement. They keep shouting PVC as if PVC pays salaries. Any government that takes a penny from me as tax is accountable to me. PVC is a tool for the process of selecting leaders. So any goat can be voted in but as long as he collects tax from me, my tax receipt is the power I have to chase him out once he bleeps. Why wait for four years when he can be chased out today?
Good Evening all, I need counsel on these waec subject combination as regards the course the fellow can study in the university (OAU, Ile Ife) to be precise.
Although his dad wants him to do pre degree so as not to be idle at home, he wants to also know the subject combination he can write in the next jamb exam.
Please civil suggestions and counsel are welcomed. Thanks
I attended same nursery and primary school with this lady. Heard from her last on the 7th of August. She sends me monthly post from her YouTube channel. Full of life and unassuming. So sad, you left the way you did but you are in a better place now. Rest in Peace Uduak Gertrude Akrah.
Cool phone but the xpen is the drawback. The precision is poor when you compare it with the Samsung stylus. You tap the pen to write but there is delay of two seconds before the actual write up comes up.
Gangster1ms: Lucky players.. I wish kwara united, kano pillars etc can emulate But I'm imagining why Nigerians too get wack idea when it comes to naming things. Fc ifeanyi ubah. wtf? If all the clubs in the world starts naming the club after the owner how do u think everyone would feel? Imagine Chelsea being Fc Roman Abramovich
Mental slavery is the worse part of Slavery. What is wrong with having our own names?
IamaNigerianGuy: Whether your story is true or not does not invalidate my statement. When Nigerians marched for June 12, they did not march for Abiola as a person, but for the restoration of the electoral mandate and to establish the supremacy of the people.
You are a true Nigerian. God bless you. June 12 isn't about Abiola, it is about Nigerians who pit aside their differences and decided to pursue a common goal. Even when SDP presented a muslim-muslim ticket, Nigerians looked beyond that and voted for freedom.
humilitypays: Mhen! See the people leading Nigeria....this guy look deranged....and he is a commissioner
I see no hope for Nigeria at all...we are far. Out of all the smart intelligent people in Osun State, this man is the best to be appointed as a commissioner He even sounds like someone on hard drugs, even his dressing looks barbaric, otimu o
You actually don't know what you just posted. Mayegun represents the last era of active student unionism in Nigeria unlike what obtains presently. This guy was detained side by side with Gani Fawehinmi and co. I don't know his political stand now but he also paid his dues in the June 12 struggle. Google is name and be enlightened.
BrightEye: hmmm... Am I the only one disliking the design of this jersey?
While the design may be cool but is lemon green our colour. Our green is darker than that. Even during the match yesterday against England, there was no contrast between the two jersies.
Good Day, I saw this plant on a post on face book sometime ago. The fellow called it "Akpuru". I guess that is Ibo and that it is a very rich source of blood supply. Please does anyone know how it is called in other languages especially Yoruba.
3rd class isn't the end of the world. For science inclined scholars You can do a PGD. Score an upper credit. Go for your Masters and then go straight to your Ph.D. All these can be in 7 years if your are determined.
Amhappy: Hia If they insist will you kill them. It's their cross let them carry it.
It is easier said my dear. When children do well, even extended family members celebrate. How much more this one? If family members are invited and even contribute to family wedding, then this case is every body's cross.
8Ebisco: Some prominent leaders from the North have assembled to kick President Muhammad Buhari out of office come 2019.
The plan, according to elder statesman, Tanka Yakassai, is to produce a more credible and acceptable presidential candidate from the region.
Some members of the movement are mainly retired military chiefs, former governors, ex-ministers, senators and other top public office holders.
Speaking with the Sun about the movement and the plan to sack the current administration, Yakasai dismissed the claim that the entire North are for Buhari, saying, “I don’t know how you came to that conclusion, because other aspirants are expressing their wish to contest, people are still aspiring.
“The question of someone becoming a consensus candidate for a whole area of the north does not make sense.
“In addition, the rule of multi party democracy, there will never be a consensus candidate anywhere in Nigeria or anywhere multi party is practiced. Otherwise the merit of multi party democracy is defeated.
“And that does not go with democracy if you come up with a consensus candidate. Consensus candidate means killing competition. Competition is the livewire of democracy.
“Those who are elected particularly at the presidential level owe their allegiance to the people who got them into office and not the voters. We want to change that narrative.
“We want the election in the future to be based on programme and manifesto, we want the election to be credible and through a verifiable process that would change the life of the people for the better.
“To do that, you have to come with your own programme and your own manifesto, not a manifesto written by hired Professors or Doctors because of their command of English that can impress people.
“Our focus is election related matters. We want our votes to have values. After an aspirant is selected, the person can now face us.
“We decided to visit all our former Heads of state who are of northern extraction. We wanted to visit first, former Head of state, General Gowon, unfortunately he was not in the country and we wrote a letter to his office to tell him about the emergence of the organization and he has not been back yet.
“As we were waiting for him, we had to go to Minna to see former Heads of state, Babangida and Abdulsalami. We found out that Abdulsalami traveled since January and would not come back soon but Babangida said he was around, we decided not to kill time but to go and speak to him.”
He assured that the group will also be meeting Obasanjo soon.
“We will do it. The programme is still on and you will hear from us. We decided to go to whoever is available. It was by sheer interest that we found Babangida available.
“Our plan was to start with General Gowon but he was not available, even Abdulsalami that we wanted to do with Babangida was not around,” he said.
According to the Sun, some of the prominent retired Generals on this mission include Gen. J.T Useni, Gen. John Temlong, Gen. India Garba, Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi, Gen. E.T Nienge, Gen. Laurence Onoja, Gen. M.D Chong, Col. Habibu Shuaibu, Navy Commodore Isaac M. Mankilik, Commodore D.T Hinga, Commodore Mainasara B. Kaoje and Maj. Hassan Zara.
Former governors also drafted for the assignment include Alhaji Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa, Dr. Babangida Aliyu, Ibrahim Idris Wada, Barr. Ibrahim Shema, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, and Mr Boni Haruna. Ex-Ministers also involved include Dr. Bello Mohammed Haliru, Amb. Bagudu Hirse, Alhaji Muktari Shagari, Dr. Mohammed Shata, Sen. Bala Mohammed, Dr. Ibrahim Lame, and Engr. Mohammed Abba Gana.
Others are Senator Ibrahim Nasiru Mantu, Senator Paul Wampana, Sen. JKN Waku, Rt. Hon. Ghali Umar Na’abba, Alhaji Dauda Birma, Hon. Margret Ichen, Senator Simeon Ajibola, Arch. Ibrahim Bunu, Hajiya Inna Ciroma, Hajia Zainab Maina, Princess Rabi Ibrahim, Amb. Esther Audu, Sen. Joseph Akaagerger, Sen. Ndayako Dangana, DIG Philemon Leha, Barr. Umaru Shentien, Dr. Luka Bahago, Mohammed Abdullahi Keffi, , Alh. Nasir Zahradeen and Hajiya Mairo Habib.
Also involved are Bishop Pinot Ogbaje, Alhaji Ikra Bilbis, Prof. Abubakar Suleiman, Amb. Ladan Shuni, Engr. Buba Galadima, Alhaji Kashim Ibrahim Imam, Kabiru Turaki, SAN, Naja’atu Mohammed, Hon. Murtala Shehu Yar’adua, Prof. Auwalu Yadudu, Sen. Solomon Ewuga, Prof. Dakum Shown, Sen. Isa Yahaya Zarewa, Alh. Kabir Tafida, Sen. Ibrahim Ida, Prof. Tahir Mamman, SAN, Alhaji Yakubu Bamali, Hon. Emmanuel Jankanwa and Engr. Muhammed Baba Kachalla, among several others.
So the North has all these heavyweights but can only gather to kick Buhari out of Aso Rock? If only they can join forces to advance education, healthcare and other soci-economic activities which will benefit the less privilege and eradicate the almajiri syndrome, the creation of future buharis will be totally eroded
