nigeria is one of the few countries in the world, if not the only country, where a president has to make his own decisions. we dont have a system of checks and balances in our system to where there is so much buffer and check and balances to buoy you up as they do in the rest of the world. this is why a president can steal billions in nigeria and nothing happens. that is the benefit of such a system for a president who is a thief and not serious minded. however for a president who is not a thief and is serious minded this type of system calls for you to be an octopus. and buhari is such a man and he has to shoulder all the responsibility. so do not compare him to other world presidents. the man has to drag the country out of the abyss with no help. if you dont like how baba presents himself i suggest you jump into the lagoon in your local government area. may i suggest eti osa ?
The world has moved my dear friend, to be a leader is not by carrying a long face and looking unkept to show you are working...!!!

serious minded men dont have time for trivialities like clothes. only unserious minded people with empty head like yourself are worried about such trivialities. there is a very popular black professor in princeton and harvard called CORNEL WEST. he didnt want to be bothered with trivialities like clothes because he is very serious minded so he bought all white shirts and all black trousers. and he has been wearing the same outfit for over a decade. thats the sign of a serious man with more pressing issues on his mind. not someone like you with cobwebs in your head cheesy
Others that took their time to look decent at the event didn't have anything in their heads right? or even have less global matters to deal with than the black khaftan President?

No one is talking about fashion here but different event calls for different outfit. I can't be embarking on a journey with thesame outfit i would to attend an event especially when i would have time in between for a change of clothe


Pic attached shows US President Barack Obama departs the White House for the G7 summit in Germany and during the event.

Hope you get my point?

So your interest is fashion instead of substance.

That's very shallow.

It depends on your definition of substance. That you are attending the G7 shows a considerable level of substance. That you are attending also mean you are at the eyes of the world

PoliticsWhy APC Postponed NASS Inauguration - Vanguard by CharlesPhc(op): 9:50am On Jun 09, 2015
ABUJA-MORE facts emerged Tuesday why the All Progressives Congress, APC, postponed the inauguration of the 8th Assembly.

Sources close to the party told Vanguard that the adoption of Senator Ike Ekweramadu as Senator Bukola Saraki’s deputy invoked the wrath of the APC leadership and ordered that the inauguration should be shifted to a later date.

According to one of the sources, the party never bargained for a diluted government in whatever level and would do everything to stop the anti-party activities of some of their members.

He said,”honestly we never expected this sudden interest of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP that had initially said it was not interested in NASS leadership to now start championing it”.

“We got hint of this development at about 4.am and had to swing into action”.

“This sudden interest of the PDP was why we shifted the inauguration and ensure we put the House in order before another date will be scheduled”.

“As you know the Hon Yakubu Dogara camp went too far in all they have done in the last two weeks heating the polity unnecessarily for no just cause”.

“On Monday night we had a parade of those that will vote for Hon Femi Gbajabiamila and 203 lawmakers signified their interest so it could have been a done deal if not for the antics of some of us who want power by all means”.

“Nigerians did not vote for a diluted government rather they voted for change and a positive change for that matter”.

“One thing I can assure you of is that the APC will cross this bridge without a stain and the PDP will woefully fail”.

Another source also spoke in the same vein saying”we can’t inaugurate the House for now until we get a clear signal that the coast is clear”.

PoliticsSpeakership: Court Asked To Disqualify Gbajabiamila Over US Indictment -Vanguard by CharlesPhc(op): 12:19pm On Jun 08, 2015
ABUJA- The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court is currently hearing an ex-parte motion seeking to disqualify Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila from emerging as the Speaker of the House of Representatives tomorrow.
Justice Abdul Kafarati is presiding over the suit which was lodged before the high court by the Registered Trustees of Social Justice and Civil Rights Awareness Initiative.
The group, in the suit they filed pursuant to Order 26 Rule 8 of the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rules, 2009, is contending that Hon. Gbajabiamila is not morally fit to head the third arm of governance in Nigeria, alleging that he was previously ‎”convicted in the state of Georgia for unethical practices and was debarred as a lawyer for 36 months”.
Aside Gbajabiamila, the House of Representatives and the Attorney General of the Federation were equally cited as defendants in the matter.
The ex-parte motion is being argued on behalf of the group by Human Rights lawyer, Chief ‎Mike Ozehkome, SAN.
In a supporting affidavit ‎that was deposed to by one Alojie Nmerengira, the plaintiff told the court that its investigations revealed that Gbajabiamila was convicted by the Supreme Court of Georgia in 2007, even as it attached a copy of the order of the court as ‘Exhibit A’.
Nmerengira averred: “That I am the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the plaintiff organization by virtue of which I am very conversant with the facts deposed herein.
“That the 1st defendant is a member of the House of Representatives who nurses the ambition of becoming the Speaker of the House in the next Assembly. That the 2nd defendant is the constitution body created to carry ‎out legislative functions for the good governance and advancement of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

What did she say was her reason for not getting married to him again? Actually, she was right coupled with the fact that she also lied to you. Firstly, at what point did she suddenly realize she was now ready for marriage when she had professed that she wasn't ready?

PoliticsThat 'Trojan Horse' Given To Buhari by CharlesPhc(op): 12:50pm On Jun 04, 2015
Anyone remember the story of Troy and the Greek's gift? Well our dear president had just received another 'Trojan Horse' but this time a 'Nigerien Horse' Hope he does not wheel it to the gate.

The Story
The Trojan Horse is a crafty contraption that allowed the Greeks to put an end to the 10-year-old Trojan War. The wily Greek hero Odysseus conceived the project and design for the Trojan Horse; Epeus, is credited with the actual building of the Trojan Horse.
The Greeks left a giant wooden object made to look like a horse at the Trojan city gates. Some of the Greeks pretended to sail away, but actually sailed just out of sight.
The other Greeks stood waiting, inside the belly of the wooden beast.
When the Trojans saw the giant wooden horse and the departing Greek troops, they thought the wooden horse was a parting gift for the gods, so most of them wanted to wheel it into their city. The decision to move the Trojan horse into the city was opposed by Cassandra, the prophetess whose fate was never to be believed, and Laocoon, who was destroyed, along with his two sons, by sea serpents after pleading with his fellow Trojans to leave the Trojan Horse outside their city walls. The Trojans took this as a sign that the gods were displeased with Laocoon's message. Besides, the Trojans preferred to believe that since the Greeks were gone, the long war was over. The city opened the gates, let the horse in, and celebrated riotously. When the Trojans passed out or fell asleep, the Greeks climbed down from the belly of the Trojan Horse, opened the city gates and ushered the rest of the troops into the city. The Greeks then sacked, destroyed, and burned Troy.
