This is very laughable, what concerns the DSS with fuel scarcity, PENGASSAN strike or TOTAL internal matters? For God sake the DSS is supposed to act as intel for other Agencies(Police and Military) to burst crimes and protect Nigerians. When did they become NLC, PPPRA, NNPC or Ministry of Labour to comment on who is holding Nigeria oil and gas workers to ransome and who is not? These people don't just know the difference between State's Intelligence Agency and Dispute and Resolution Center.

Neversaydie: Detaching ourselves from all ethnic, religious and emotional strings and bigotry, of what gain would the killings of the purported innocent Apo squatters would be for the Military and SSS. What is there to cover up, at least there was no claim of accidental discharge, they went for an operation based on intelligence given. Also claims are being perpetuated that the people killed are artisans and nigerians have genuine means of livelihood, yet they chose to live in an uncompleted building, knowing fully well that such avenues are being used as kidnappers den and to orchestrate criminal activities.

Coincidentally, on same date with the Apo incident, members of the Boko Haram attacked Benishiekh, a border town in Maiduguri killing about 169 innocent Citizens with little or no condemnation of such dastardly act from Nigerians. Similarly, on Saturday the same terrorist group attacked Konduga Local government and killed 34 persons in Limanti village, yet we keep blaming the security agencies for inaction. Now, a proactive step has been taken to prevent and tackle re-grouping of terrorist group in the Federal capital, and it has been greeted with criticisms. Agreed that not all the squatters are terrorists but why must one pitched his/her tent in such habitat, more so as such unholy assembly also put the lives and property of legal occupants and residents of such location in Jeopardy.

Conclusively, i live in Lagos and i can authoritatively tell you what the "bad boys" use uncompleted building for. Thanks to the Regime of Babatunde Fashola who came and even help to clear, beautify and illuminate place like CMS under bridge, when ordinary whenever it is dark the "bad guys" operate freely and without restraint. In all, why criticizing, let us search our conscience and ask whether we are being fair and just because for every action there must be a cause.

Former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) has said that only death will separate him from politics and 2015 presidential contest. General Buhari who was the 2011 presidential candidate of the opposition Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) that had just merged into All Progressives Congress (APC) said as long as he lived he would never quit politics.

The three-time presidential candidate of CPC who spoke on Kaduna-based Desmin Independent Television (DITV) last weekend, which was monitored by Daily Sun added that he would willingly offer himself for the next presidential race if the APC members and his supporters decided to give him the opportunity again.

He expressed the fear that if power was not wrested from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015, individuals under the party would plunder the nation’s resources and pocket them for personal satisfaction. He said, “on the issue of my ambition to contest the next election or not. Many people, especially from my party, are really disturbed.

The joyful thing is that I didn’t say I quit politics. I will never quit politics as far as I live. I only said that I will not present myself to contest but my party members said they want me to remain in the race. But I said the new party will follow due process in selecting candidates right from ward level to national level. “Since I am in the new party as a member, if after consultations they include me among their aspirants I will not reject their offer. This is what I want people to know. “I want people to be patient with what we are doing now.

They should allow the merger to succeed first. I am sure the new party leaders will know those that are relevant and saleable to Nigerian electorate. I don’t want people to be too much disturbed about my political ambition. I will only abide by what my supporters say. “Malpractice during election is our major problem. My political party sued INEC after the last election because INEC was given N90 billion to conduct the election.

They assured us that they have collected those money because we were not satisfied with the conduct of the election. “We must be patient with ourselves as a people. I believe in Nigeria now that we are about celebrating centenary after 100 years of being together. We must be patient with one another irrespective of tribal and religious affiliations. “We believe by the time we have good government in place we will provide jobs and security to our people. We understand Nigeria, we understand the problem facing Nigeria.

We believe with good government in place the abundance of wealth and human resources God blessed this country with will be put into use for the benefit of the people. “This is our intention and we believe it is possible. Some people painted me wrong during the past election that I am an Islamic extremist. All these were lies attributed to me and those who did that shouldn’t have done it because I was a soldier by profession.

“Seventy percent of soldiers in Nigeria when I was in the service were Christians and those under my platoon never accused me of discriminating against them on religious and tribal basis. “If we did not get a strong party that will challenge them they will end up sharing all the country’s wealth into private pockets.” This is why we believe that a strong opposition party will do well in that regards.

Politics is all about credible election and it is the only way out of our democracy which we all believe in. “1999 constitution allows political associations and it was from, the same constitution that the electoral act was removed. So our party’ motto is equity while PDP use power to the people but I am sure Nigerians know better if actually the power is in their hands.

“Most political parties mission or manifestos is to see that their citizen’s feel secure any where they are. They can move at any time of the day without being afraid of anything. This is what peace is all about. Another things is wealth creation whereby people particularly youths have something doing either in industries including those still in schools.

“Without peace and wealth a country will find itself in the kind of situation we found ourselves today. Any political party that was registered always promised to provide these things I mentioned. The PDP has been tested for almost 13 years now.

That is why we the opposition parties decided to come together to ensure that there is a credible election in this country. We are very much sure that with a credible election we are going to defeat them so as to provide good to our people.

“Those who have interest in politics of this country should know where we are from 2007 to date. Most Nigerians are aware of the strength of PDP from 1999 to 2007. People know that unless the opposition parties, those with representatives at states and Federal levels came together as one there is no way we can restructure Nigerian democracy.”

musiwa29: the state of education in Nigeria is so bad. ASUU is standing on moral ground. If ASUU dont go on strike. They will not fix it. the only people that can make them fix education in nigeria is ASUU. Only ASUU can force Jonathan to fix the schools. All over nigeria. All primary and secondary now sit on the floor.
