Obierika:
Of all the 5 crime stories in this article why did they highlight only one?

Because the article needed a headline and they got the one that would attract people faster. You go school at all sef? No let me wound you there.

Queenyprinxex:
Who did these biafla people offend?

If they aren't killing themselves, hunger is killing them, if they could escape hunger then herdsmen is slaughtering them.
God why na?

PS- I have stopped reading threads on frontpage because of the bad news that won't stop coming from their region.

Such an unreasonable comment from a female youth, that is if you are truly a female. Unfortunately you are so childish that you do not have an idea about the Igbos or Nigeria as a whole.

Your comment is extreme and very undeserving to say the least. Do not hide in the shadow of the social media to make jokes out of situations like this that have cost human lives.

Bitchlover:
I always maintain that no one above 70 should lead this country for the next 30 years.

Why because, Nigeria is a youthful country and it needs youthful ideas to compete with the technological advancements happening globally today.

Imagine Buhari and his Fulani people cannot even coordinate a simple Skype call, then how are we expecting things to work in the biggest black country

And what will you say about the youths who have folded their hands and are waiting for power to be handed over to them on a platter of gold? Was Buhari and the presenr crop of old leaders not youths who fought for and got power many years ago?

If you want change then you must be the change agent that you truly desire. If Bihari and Fulani people cannot coordinate simple skype calls then wake up and take the leadership bull by the horn.

Cheers.

maasoap:
Your role model dey shame you. Converting national property to personal property, people who are supposed to rot in jail

And to you Obasanjo library was a national property converted into a private property?

What's strange or new about it? The place is a library and if people are not patronizing how can salaries be paid? What is the business of the lying Sahara reporters? Have they been paying salaries too? If they sack staff who will the sacked staff tell?

Many companies sacked staff. State governments have owed salaries for months. Obasanjo library is a private organisation and what happens there is their business.

Sahara reporters should carry their yeye reports away please.

IJOBA2:
HAVE YOU SEEN WHY SOME MUSLIMS LIKE LUCASBALO AKA ABBEBAILEY, LINDA SARSOUR FARAKHAN AND SOME NOTABLE AMERICAN JIHADISTS ARE AGAINST TRUMPS PRO-LIFE PROGRAM FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

NOW TELL ME, WHY WOULD A MUSLIM SUPPORTS TAKING SOMEONES LIFE IS LINDA SARSOUR AND IMAM LUCASBALO AKA ABBEBAILEY THE GIVER OF LIFE.


TO ALL MY MUSLIM FRIENDS, IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE WORSHIPING THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD, THEN I DONT SEE REASON WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT EVIL.

So you believe that the nonsense by the government of Bauchi state is correct?

tophumble:
Rasak Atunwa is not in the best position to tell us if the Gov have performed or not, his judgement cannot be correct because he is still suffering from his lost to the Gov during the Governorship election. If he feels he can do better, he shd contest with the Gov again come 2023, he will be defeated back to back

That's exactly why Nigerians are suffering so much today. People who listened to lies and deceit. People who acted like they were bewitched and are completely blinded by a few people who promised them things that would never be realisable. People who were charmed by fake promises and still fool themselves believing that all is very well while their commonwealth is openly looted and shared by a few who promised to recover looted funds from the past PDP government and return to them.

Why would you people never wake up from your drunken dream state and truly examine every word and promise of politicians which they have failed and will always fail to deliver? How many promises made by the APC government at the federal and state level have they delivered on?

Look at Kwara state and truthfully ask yourself if something meaningful can be done in that state by the present APC government. Citizens of that state simply went from the stranglehold of the Sarakis into the hands of a cronic lying minister supported clearly by another Saraki family member. All the governor has done so far is try to destroy Saraki influence by carrying out a vendetta against the same Sarakis. Who told you lot that another Saraki family member will not seek governorship position in 2007 under either APC or PDP?

Looking at Baba Oloye and the history of his giving food to Kwara people in his house in Bode Thomas in Lagos to his rise to political power in Kwara state in the 70s it seems that Kwarans are easily swayed with rice + beans served to them every morning and gift their votes in favour of the leader who gives them the most. Bukola Saraki apparently could not match his father in that area. Truthfully if Baba Oloye was still alive would Kwarans have voted against his family?

Atunwa definitely is in the right position to tell us what's happening there because he is in the system and definitely knows much more than we all know collectively. Kwara state is hardly developing and that is the simple truth.

Assuming Atunwa's judgements are too early or outrighly false one can apply common sense by looking at what structures have been put in place by the ruling APC government in the last one year of taking over. Ask yourself sincerely what APC government has put in place in the last one year instead of continously joining the bandwagon of those judging the past PDP governments. When will this country move forward with APC? When will this country arrive the land flowing with milk and honey promised 6 years ago by APC?

Are Kwarans getting bewitched again, this time by APC, or getting carried away after receiving some plates of food? It is left to Kwarans to tell themselves the sincere truth about thenselves.

Two reasons for this victimisation:

1. He is a Nigerian and Nigerians are not trusted worldwide.

2. Racism. He is not French and the French want to keep manipulating Africa through their former colonies.

SenorFax:
Na dem again.

I don't know how easy it is for these guys to actually kill their own blood in such manners. It's either their brother, cousin, and all sorts

Why these?

What scared me more is, if you can do such to your blood, what will you do to someone who is not?

Mango
Girlfriend
Coke

If you know you know

Still better than some people who will cut the body parts and either use for money ritual of sacrifice for occult power.

When you stand on the queue next time to vote shine your eye well. Na lazy youths vote for dim pass. Dem still call una lazy youths after giving you 1000 + bottle of coke.

Medicine after death. Na today? After the so called investigation and subsequent settlement + plea bargain everything will remain the same and the looter will go back home very happy with the balance given to him. Na story e go take end. Na Naija we dey.

Some people forsaw this and kukuma used their hard earned money to buy food and hand over straight to people. Even the food sef they looted. This country if you never loot you never start. Everywhere na looting. Dem take looting swear give Nigeria?

Rema123:
Nonsense, why does he have to announce it. I thought my Igbo brothers thought they said there were no beggers in the east.

Slap yourself quickly and remind yourself how you are a pure and very proud OLODO.

efe0:
I keep saying it APC have got nothing to offer to the populace. I'm not PDP but since the emergence of Apc its been calamity all the way.

post=90035603:
PDP in Nigeria again?!

GOD forbid bad thing.

Again .......

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

PDP in Nigeria again ?!

God forbid bad thing!!



Dammnn Nigga, GBAMSOLUTELY!!

And your professed APC is better than PDP? In 5 years of rulership please show clear eyed people how your APC has improved the country.

We know where the God forbid should be directed. Certainly not the PDP.

Kingrefreshed:
PDP and crisis are like Siemens twins. There is nothing like fresh Crisis with them.

APC nko? Oshiomole alone na crisis. Edo, Zamfara, Rivers, Bayelsa how far? Others nko? Embezzlement how far?

By the way dem take Okada do una for Lagos? When will Lagos grow to become one of the best state capitals in the world? Okada, Marwa, Okada, Marwa abeg na.

DTaj:
I laugh in Swahili!

The 'political toddler', ungrateful clown, called Godwin Obaseki, should start preparing to return to Ikoyi, Lagos.

Just like his grandfather betrayed the Oba of Benin, who made him a prominent Chief and handed the Oba of Benin to the colonial masters for annihilation, is this a curse for Obasekis to betray their benefactors?

After consistently insulting Oshiomhole personally and through his retinue of appointees, who ordinarily are 'political babies' to Oshiomhole, he's running everywhere in the night begging. It's too late to cry when the head is cut off!

You shut out 14 (a whole 14!) members of the House of Assembly, who are your fellow party members for almost 4 years!

You went on a demolition spree against enemies within your own party!

You, everyday, kept on insulting and abusing the man who practically did ALL your campaign to be Governor, who lost his own long-term friends and associates because of you!

I do not care whatever you have with Oshiomhole, all I know is that an INGRATE is wicked! Ingratitude is a huge character flaw- a huge MINUS!

I recall when some people in Kwara State urged immediate past Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed to betray Bukola Saraki just under one year after he was elected Governor in 2011, Abdulfatah said, I can't forget: "I was a Senior Manager at Guaranty Trust Bank Kano when this man called me and appointed me as Commissioner for Finance and after eight years in his cabinet, he did EVERYTHING to make me Governor, even against his longtime friends. Should I betray such a benefactor? No, I'm not an ingrate, I would not!"

It was the same thing when people told current Governor (Professor) Babagana Umara Zulum of Borno State to betray immediate past Governor and current Senator, Kashim Shettima. Zulum said: "This man brought me from the University of Maiduguri as a lecturer and made me Commissioner, he entrusted me with huge resources for the resettlement of IDPs. He also went out of his way, and practically abandoned all those who have been politicians for several decades and picked me, a 'baby politician'. Should I now start insulting the same man? I do not have any strand of ingratitude in my DNA."

Ask Fashola. He used tact and wisdom to manage Tinubu, and he eventually had a smooth 2nd term as Governor and he's a 2-term Minister of the Federal Republic today!

You do not know what politics is all about bro. Were you there when his grandfather betrayed the Oba? Na Amebo you do so. Yet he and the present Oba are in total peace.

Do you know that in politics they say "no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, but permanent interests"? Oshiomole made Obaseki governor not because of friendship but because of interest.

If politics is not about betrayals, denials, lies, deceits, decampments, power, money, interest, selfishness, rancour, greed, murder, physical injuries, struggles, gossips, agreements, then my brother it is not politics. Go and check it the world over. Why does Donald Trump have a regular swipe at Obama? Why does Trump call CNN fake news? It's all centered on all I mentioned above.

Oshiomole fought Anenih to a standstill. The reason was control. At his death Oshiomole was there crying, crocodilically though" how Anenih was his father and how all their battles were politically motivated. He too has stepped on toes.

A godson is expected to be a carbon copy of his godfather. If the godfather has all the qualities above, then it is expected that his godson must have them. His relationship with Okorocha did not stop him from abandoning Okorocha and Okorocha's stooge at that point. The present governor was not even in the permutation but see how it turned out.

Oshiomole's greatest problem is his high handedness which he admitted earlier this year when there was an attempt to remove him by governors and other powerful elements within the APC. The struggle between him and Obaseki must be resource control and party control.

It will be a very big shame on Oshiomole if the Rivers and Zamfara events repeat themselves in Edo. Yet if he does not make a move against Obaseki his political future in Edo and national APC will be jeopardized.

Oshiomole called Ize Iyamu a criminal and that he should not be trusted with a position, yet he wants to put him on that seat. What changed his opinion so suddenly? Does that not show you that politics is about interests?

PDP is right at the corner waiting to Supreme courtically reclaim their state. Oshiomole is already leading APC in that direction.

ledaman:
Sorry bro your permutation is wrong. Federal might will uproot Eze iyamo

When did Ize Iyamu become Eze Iyamo? Is he now an Eze?

BabaOwen:
Chai!! If only the clueless GEJ had work on ways to restructure this country, free oil money would have stop flowing to northern Nigeria.

As for me, GEJ should have made restructuring Nigeria a do or die affair.

And which of the northern elites would have allowed him? Are they not the ones who decamped and formed APC with the failed promise to restructure?

apache22b:
I am ecstatically delighted and disproportionately flabbergasted with enormous gratification and appreciation for the dispensation of such a tendering and mesmerizing information in which the prestidigitation of the concurrent and subsequent matter is thoroughly demonstrated through the innuances alluding to literal and metaphorical context. It is highly imperative to note that, such is the significance of the aforementioned, distortion in any shape or form will result in catastrophic ramifications to which will be the outcome of epic proportions. I thank you for your unequivocal.

Na lie you lie.

Davash222:
Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu goofed big time. APC will useless him and dump him.
Shehu Sani and Ambode is a perfect example.

No Ize-Iyamu did not. Rather Oshiomole is repeating the same mistake that he did with Obaseki in now choosing Ize-Iyamu.

Politicians like Ize-Iyamu who move from one political party to another due claming one form of wrong treatment or the other are the most dangerous. Ize-Iyamu is a full blooded PDP man. The danger lies ahead that Odhiomole will not be able to control him if he wins. Surely he will not abandon his political friends in the PDP. Seeing him as the better option is a steategy by Oshiomole to wrest power from Obaseki.

Either way it goes Oshiomole will be the loser. If Ize-Iyamu loses also he will get a political position for his effort or enter into a political decline.

For me whatever happens Edo state will return to the PDP.

GiantMelCosta:
Nigerian international airport be like local airport in the US

Who told you that Mr. Been To?

weblord1900:
This is insane. Does they even think about the masses that elected them in the first place.
Oh no

"Does they think". Come take your time there. Na so the matter vex you reach so tay you come speak English like that. Correct yourself now before I slap your mouth there.

India is the dirtiest country that I have ever visited. Everywhere there are plenty of flies. Gutters are very black and worse than the gutters in Okokomaiko. Everywhere you go there are uncountable stray dirty dogs. The people hardly take their baths and everywhere you go people are coughing. The cough dry no be small.

Unfortunately none of the two options is fool proof. Examples abound in the last governorship election where godfathers and godchildren battled. Decisions about who to vote for in the direct primary is not based on who the delegates truly want to vote for. It is based on who the godfather wants to instal and how much is given to party members. The party members are therefore easily influenced by what they get from the ogas above. One other deciding factor is the financial performance of the incumbent governor. If he fails to let the naira flow down to the.smallest party member then he's in trouble. A clear example is Ambode who was called very stingy.

The issue here is that with Ize Iyamu back within the APC fold, Obaseki has a bigger battle to face, especially with his erstwhile benefactor, Oshiomole, determined to remove him. With the direct primary Obaseki could be removed. With an indirect primary Obaseki can influence things.

An order given in 2007 has not been vacated since? Where is the sincerity? Who should we believe? Since it is such a serious matter and some people have so far looted 118 billion why not move to vacate that order? Is that not the way forward first? Should this become a sensational story when sensible things have not been done first? Are the Appeal and Supreme courts no longer there?

2 - 1? Narrow escape definitely. Shows Y Bello is not made yet. More work to be done by Y Bello. Next to appeal court and finally supreme court where governors are finally made.

Imagine how policemen without masks go about arresting civilians without masks. How the matter go settle?

Social distancing does not even work in their police stations.

Rubbish. Can't we have price control boards and make the boards very effective? With price control do we need to stress ourselves again?

But one wonders the rationale behind this pension payment to ex govs and speakers.
Are they civil servants? Is this the standard practice in other democracies? Are those who worked for 35 years or retired at the age of 65 as civil servants not the ones who ought to receive pension and gratuity? What is the purpose of severance packages? They allocate severance packages to themselves, collect gratuities and then place themselves on pension for life having served for 8 years and less.

When will our politicians allow this country have some financial respite? They loot, recover looted funds, label fellow looters as looters and then re loot the already recovered looted funds under one guise or another.

The move by Uzodimma/ISHA is good only as long as the proscription is not lifted and payments backdated just before Uzodimma leaves.
