omenka:
If they hadn't lifted the story from Sahara Reporter (by referencing Sowore), the story would have been totally false.

I just don't understand why people visit that blog- perhaps to check out the latest lie against the President/Government and have a good laugh?

There is simply no truth in anything published by thebreakingtimes, just like hopefornigeria, theguardiannewsusa and the rest of those PDP sponsored blogs.

Obanikoro's cup would soon be so full it would run over.

Check this out in case you missed it: www.nairaland.com/2372253/thebreakingtimes-scandalous-antics

What exactly is your point, in your attempt to go after the media house you forgot to give your opinion or comment on topic which should be your main reason for opening the thread, seeing they mentioned SR left you dumbfounded yet you could not do the honorable thing, exit thread without making your usual imbec1lic and hypocritical comment.

The same media house first reported Osinbajo being sidelined from security meetings which has being confirmed by other media house, they have also reported some news which has been validated by your preferred media house, so what exactly is your point?

Sometime last year, your likes hail SR because they were doing exactly what this "thebreakingtimes" are doing, reporting news to spite the government and then you hailed them and called it "Investigative Journalism" Even when they can't give source to their reports all i saw then was "A source not wanting to be named" did you complain about this?

Do you need to be reminded several news SR reported which was later found out to be false including malicious attack on fight against terrorism?

I honestly don't get your point or reasons you are so uncomfortable with this media house

luvmijeje:
Na this kind thing deh tire me for all this Tanist wahala. We all know you're witch-hunting but you guys will never apply wisdom in making sure that it's not obvious to the blind and those that are naive.

Is it only Aregbe that's owing? Even those that their Governors were also in the same boat are also opening their big mouth.

Aregbe, you too shame all these your traducers...... Pay up! As a Governor you should have find a way to solve this issue.

Why not just shut up, how many states is requesting food donations like Osun in the past few weeks.

Look, i lived in Osun and i can tell you those rubbish you read online are nothing but trash, a very poor state, the silly opon imo and school uniform was just to loot the treasury, i pity the suffering and smiling citizens

francizy:



Muhehehehehehehehe, is the drum supposed to produce food?

Maybe

adeaks:



You see a thread about someone who committed suicide and the best you can do is to solicit for votes. You didn't even type anything about the content of the thread

In fact you won't win whatever it is you want us to vote you for

Abeg park well, make em kill emself because person take e own life?

Omooba77:
” I am using this medium to advise Aregbesola, to resign honourably from office before he will be sent out of Osun State back to Lagos where he and his allies came from . Aregbesola has failed in running the affairs of the state and the people can no longer bear the untold hardship any longer.”

smh

Momcherry:
Is that how he's going to perform his 'vice presidency'? By being 'locked out' of important security meetings? I thought he's supposed to be the vice chief security officer of the federal republic of Nigeria?

Like i said, Osibanjo is just a domestic staff in Aso Rock, the gambari north is about teaching tinubu and his sophisticated westerners how to play politicis.

The change is here.

omenka:
You just keep yelling everywhere without making a point. Sorry.

https://www.nairaland.com/2372421/why-osinbajo-been-locked-out/1#34659099

Now stfu and close down this thread

“The truth is that the military hierarchy would not even feel comfortable saying some things in his presence.

“I can tell you that they respect Prof Osinbajo as VP, but they cannot trust him with information yet.”

Asked if Osinbajo would continue to stay back and watch, the source responded: “He would be brought in but not now.”

“His inner strength, strong heart and ability to keep things to himself will first be put to test before he gets access to some classified materials and information.”

On possibility of politics being a reason why Osinbajo has not been part of the security meetings, the source said such cannot be ruled out.

“We must understand the fact that Osinbajo was a candidate promoted by Bola Tinubu (ex-Lagos Governor), he was not handpicked by Buhari.

“If the President had picked a vice, it is likely that such individual may get the access Osinbajo isn’t getting now.

“Everyone knows the VP has been loyal to Tinubu for decades and he cannot swear that he would not divulge details of these security meetings to his political godfather.

“So he has to earn it. Tinubu may have used his influence to put him in this position but he must draw a line between blind loyalty and national duty.”

I hope Omenka and Passingshot can stfu and stop accusing the news site that broke this news

PassingShot:

This thread is about a particular fake news portal and it is not what you've addressed.

Come back and address the issue and stop the rant.

Hypocrite, there were several news from twitter, facebook and other unverified source that was used to blackmail Jonathan on this forum, Did you or Omenka open this silly thread asking seun to verify source before placing any thread on homepage?

The standard still remain, if any thread/news is posted here, if there is a source to it, you and fellows have no right to complain.

Just enjoy the party man

omenka:
[s]Good morning.

These are indeed very interesting times.

For those of us that might have spent some time on the internet and Nairaland, surfing to keep abreast with the latest developments, especially as they relate to politics, the news portal "thebreakingtimes.com" only barged its way into our consciousness just a couple of weeks ago with her libellous story about the "President's N2Billion Asokoro Mansion" (www.thebreakingtimes.com/exposed-president-buharis-n2-1-billion-asokoro-mansion/) , a story that has since been proven to be anything but true (newsdiaryonline.com/gen_ejected.htm).

Now, we all agree propaganda plays a critical role in every government the world over. The government uses it, ditto the opposition, to advance their agenda. Quite frankly, a government or opposition can hardly survive without it. Not all propaganda are destructive as most people tend to think, some are actually genuinely for the public good. To buttress this point, I had to look to wiki:


There is no gainsaying PDP as a party nurses an ambition to retake Aso Rock from APC, but in so doing, it is important that they demonstrated a bit of decorum and grace.

Thebreakingtimes, from my checks, was founded in september 2014 and had their first publication in october of the same year. First, the timing of its birth is suspect, and even more so, its distinctively destructive publications.

Some folks might want to shut readers critical of their publications up, pointing to Sahara Reporters and, perhaps, Premium Times. They argue both newspapers are operated under the thumb of APC.

Saharareporters.com has over 5,000 publications since it was founded (2006), has been supported by donors such as Ford Foundation and Omidyar Foundation to stay afloat. It's been referred to as the "Nigerian wikileaks" by the reputable tabloid, Daily Beast, and her publications have received reviews and criticism from notable Nigerians such as Soyinka and VIPs like Chris Olukolade, Obanikoro, a Zimbabwean Minister. Hell, even the spokesman of PDP, Olisa Metuh, once called them taking a swipe at former President Jonathan!!

They've published countless number of articles highly critical of government and the opposition. On this forum, we've had numerous pro PDP posters post anti-APC articles published by them, but they still hypocritically insist the media is being bankrolled by the opposition. Funny huh?

Like Sahara Reporters, like Premium Times. They have editors with names and contacts, but when you visit the "about" page of thebreakingtimes, you find absolutely nothing as regards the owners, editors, or publishers, just some pedestrian balderdash about their mission statement and all that.

Some people have said it is run by some aide to Obanikoro with the twitter handle "xyz", but we have NO NAMES on them. If one were to file a case of libel against them, who does one sue??

What these guys are doing is simply not propaganda, it is sheer blackmail and slander. After seeing their latest story brought to the forum by some PDP supporter regarding the VP being shut out of a security meeting second time in a row, I decided to take a stroll to the site and what I saw made my guts twist in disgust. What man with a soul and conscience does things like this?? I understand we live in a democracy and should uphold its principles which includes the freedom of expression, but come on... This is an outrage!

I read somewhere the immediate past Deputy Speaker of the House, Ihedioha, admonished that PDP used everything in its power to bring APC and the government to her knees, including using tools such as "propaganda and blackmail". Is this PDP doing so via thebreakingtimes

As time goes by, and as events unfold, I'm hopeful some of us would see this government for what it truly stands for- our collective good- and join hands with our fellow compatriots to give her the support she needs in succeeding. Seun, Lalasticlala and other stakeholders have a role to play in this regard especially as regards the coverage given to news coming from this source (thebreakingtimes). We must understand that we would be the ones holding the hot end of the rod in an event the government fails- God forbid.

God help us all.

Long live Nigeria.
[/s]

Just dance to the music and stop blabbing, Though i want Buhari to succeed for the benefit of poor Nigerians, but APC as a party and you in particular do not have the moral right to spew this nonsense.

I remember seun wanted to make it an offense for members of this forum not to use derogatory words/insult political office holders, please go back to that thread and search for the response of these people you mentioned here.

Egift, Passingshot, Obiagelli, Demdem, Gbawe, Beremx, NgeneUkwenu, Donphilopus, Jarlons, et al.

It was an era you'all felt comfortable calling the president of Nigeria a drunkard, Clueless, Jona.daft etc, to you this was just fine, but few days ago hypocritical you and passingshot already making a post about how bad it is for people to insult the office of the president.

Common bro, you don't have the moral right when all you did was use same propaganda to blackmail Jonathan, won't you be an hypocrite to cry now that your man is there?

On that thread seun proposed to ban people from insulting politicians, please check for my response to berem when she made her usual silly post about seun trying to defend Jonathan. Did it occur to you one day APC/Buhari will be in power and people will pay you back in your own coin?

Hey man, when pointing a finger, there more gallantly pointing back at you, please just enjoy this party.

karma is a bloody bi.tch.

Nonsense

Interesting read

egift:


Unless brownlord1 is different from brownlord, then their is nothing to explain. brownlord is a well known TANiod on this platform.

PS: www.nairaland.com/brownlord/posts

goon, you like your fellow goon have no proof i support PDP, so not joining you to insult GEJ or shout fake change makes me a PDP right?

smh

egift:


You are supporting PDP that created the problem and subjected to hardship. Suddenly you are very impatient with an administration that is barely 10days in office. What do you think?

For your info, help is on the way!

Explain

ferhyntorlah:
Cramjones, I'm sorry but those aren't achievements.

There are lots of achievement, taking photos with obama and other world leaders is a lot achievement to some fools here.

egift:


We are talking about the money smuggled and you are jumping in the middle and spewing nonsense.

I am talking about the current situation and buhari told nigerians "help is on the way" for how long are we to wait?

cramjones:


Trash! Read my responses to this trash you posted.

No need to reading your response, i don't take you serious

goon
1. Security: Boko haram are still killing people at will and the president has not shown any sign of seriousness, going to chad and niger amount to nothing because he criticized GEJ for doing same

2. Corruption: A Federal High Court has just dismissed a 19.2bn criminal charge pending against the Former Governor of Bayelsa State, timipre sylva

3. Petroleum industry: He should also probe his administration when he was the head of PTF

4. Democracy: The president called APC senators to ICC for a meeting.

That was after security men blocked national assembly giving elected senators on platform of APC some kind of assurance there will be no business or rather sitting will be postponed till after meeting with the president.

The blockage was removed shortly after APC senators and party leaders gathered at the venue waiting the arrival of Buhari

Buhari never showed up at the venue

The rebel APC senators in connivance with senators elected from other parties met and elected Seraki against the party ( tinubu's wish )

Shortly after election buhari issued statement condemning the indiscipline but agree to work with seraki.

5. Media: is baseless and useless as you, if you need to give anyone credit for SR action, i think it should go to GEJ as buhari was just taking oath of office and yet to kick start his regime. Even at that the point is useless.

You need to get a brain

egift:


Bros are you by any chance insinuating that Jonathan and his crew did not rent a plane that belonged to Pastor Ayo to smuggle money to South Africa in the name of buying Arms?

You can lie oooh

Egoat, is Jonathan your president or Buhari, has it occur to you and your fellow goons that people are dying and the president is yet to address the nation, instead issuing statement through aids.

Is this the change you talked about?

StOla:
Saraki's actions today belongs to the PDP era of impunity.

Why couldn't he wait to have a valid election like Dogara did?

We as a people are tired of 16 greater than 19, 6 impeach 23, impeach from hotel room, or holding parliamentary sessions before 6am in the morning just to disenfranchise fellow members.

Saraki sadly belongs to a decaying politics. Time will tell if he has more deceitful stunts up his sleeve.

Mumu, what time was the elected senators to meet and at what venue?

If your APC was so naive to the extent of not knowing what time was set out for the sitting, who do you blame?

Is the venue APC senators went to gather the national assembly or meeting point for all elected senators? or it never occur to you there are people elected from other parties, they should all wait for APC to sought out their internal problems before discharging national assignment.

Wonder what you guys do with your brain

Emekamex:
Does Buhari think he is ruling over cows? He should better stop all these nomadic movement and select his cabinet. It has been 2 weeks and we are yet to the lists of his ministers.

Isn't that what we are?

Can you tell me any country in the world the citizens will tell a politician seeking elective position and having certificate scandal "Even if you present bread paper, we go vote for you"?

Which country will you find people cheering a politician who publicly said he took a loan by calling a bank ( without collateral ) and people be hailing him?

Which country will you find people hailing a man who's utterance resulted in the death of over 800 compatriots and show no remorse but followers be chanting Sai buhari?

The fact is, Buhari is ruling over animals, yes that is what Nigerians are, that is the effect of exalting a politician to the extent you gave him reasons not to show up in court to clear allegations surrounding his certificate and he had the nerves to tell Nigerians "Go to court and remain there"

What change were you expecting with a man having all the crooks surrounding him? i was surprise to read from APC goons on nairalander shortly after Seraki clinch SP yesterday, that EFCC should go after him, now this same animals ( buhari's cows ) knew all this while Seraki is corrupt, yet was happy since he could dole out billions of public funds to support buhari's election.

I just love this change

Nigerians behold your president.

Two weeks after inauguration, no appointment, he failed to move in to seat of power, he fail to address the nation on direction we are heading, the only thing we have from the "Help is on the way" President is photo, photo, photo. Boko Haram is killing at will, ransacking communities, and suicide bombing while our president is taking selfie with world leaders

I warned ye all, but you said you wanted change, the change you seek is here now.

Nigeria is now on auto pilot, interesting days/months/weeks ahead.

Congrat Nigerians

barcanista:
I can only see Saraki laughing at Remi Tinubu
www.nairaland.com/attachments/2501604_screenshot201506101508111_pngad571e566f7b3efed269d1c25f283b63

I didn't see your comment before posting mine.

Except my device has failed, i only see Seraki laughing and madam tinubu not responding, first and second picx. Maybe i'm wrong

handie:
Alot of work ahead. Stop the photo shooting and start doing the real thing ASAP. We need change bad bad. Tho, you were born with a golden spoon, you're still a youth and you know what we youths are passing through.

Misplaced priority, You left Buhari who was sworn in almost two weeks now and yet no official statement or press briefing from him to Nigerians and be tasking people who's role is only to make laws to effect change for you.

Maybe you don't know the chamber comprises of non APC who never join in your change mantra.

Please direct your protest to Buhari in ( Defense House/Private Residence as we presently do not know his whereabouts ) to stop photo shooting and get to work, the only thing we have so far is him touring the world and sending his attack dogs photo to show to Nigerians, with all bombings and killings over two weeks now, a president is suppose to come on air to address the nation and not issue statement through proxy.
