ur mumurism pass mumu, it is a know fact that election did not hold in many part of d state,before casting of vote,ur pvc was check with card reader and manually by checking if ur name and picture in d register sheet match with ur pvc,before marking ur finger with ilk to prove that u are be accredited, which d card reader total to be 292,000 accredited voters before casting of vote, meanwhile not all that mark finger or accredited actually vote, that means d actual vote cast are less than d 292,000 accredited.

Oga you just called him yet inscribed "no insult" on your post, that simply shoes how your brain works, Secondly your observing your response to #chigozie7 facts and figures, he described you completely yet you succumbed to that with this trash of yours, it's simple you can read you can also write but its either your loyalty to your pay masters is making you blunt or you are genuinely lying to your self

Nah lie what happened to numerator should also happen to the denominator

SkyBlue1:


There was no election in Rivers State. Everybody with a sincere heart who is not so compromised by "anywhere belle face" politics knows this to be true. If Wike won the mandate of the people then no issues to fear here. Myopic people see this as an "attack" on the PDP. People with sense see this as making a firm statement against electoral malpractise. This is saying you may rig, but justice will catch up with you. We need to stamp out do or die electioneering in Nigeria. We need to get the electoral process right. It is the critical building block in a democracy. This is not about Goodluck or Buhari or Wike or PDP or APC.

hearing the word democracy makes me wanna barf, you lot should be smarter than this, there is nothing like justice if it's one-sided, what happened with what labaran Maku has screaming about am sure he headed for tribunal before peterside yet no one is even looking in that direction, should we begin to name them (places were APC rigged). Let them not see the fact that PDP is not challenging the Presidential election as mistake for them(APC) to trample on, this scam called Nigeria is managing to remain in one piece despite all odds, they should not be the catalyst o.

Election is over, post election banters should be winding up as the incumbent administration run her last lap.

During the electioneering period, President-elect Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling party-elect APC made lots of promises. Some of these promises ranges from provision of 24/7 electricity, provision of 3 million jobs annually, ending corruption to standstill, reduction of recurrent expenditure and increase in capital expenditures, provision of monthly stipends for the elderly, disabled and unemployed, and 24 months payment to Youth Corps members (1 year each for service and post service period) and feeding of public primary school pupils across the country. All these are in addition to numerous capital project that was promised by the government.

There are also several demands from different groups to the President-elect. The "ex-Militants" want Amnesty sustained, the Governors elected on APC's platform led by Rochas Okorocha want increased funding to states, the people in the North want an end to the insurgency, the people in the South South/South East are calling for political and economic emancipation and good leadership, those in the South West are advocating for improved governance and leadership. Everybody is making one demand or the other.


Present Reality
Nigeria's revenue is dwindling already with no hope in sight if the status quo remains. Our budget is destined to run on deficit of over N1.3 trillion, which will only add more burden on the people. The revelation by Ngozi Iweala that Nigeria had to borrow to pay wages and salaries of workers is a sign that we can't continue this way. No country can sustain when it borrows to pay salaries. What happens when the loan becomes too much that more borrowings is rejected? This will sentence us to IMF's Sturctural Adjustment Program, which will take us 100 years backward and punish generations to come.


Mistake of The Outgoing Incumbent
The grave mistake that the Incumbent President Jonathan made was to give in to the 36 States Governors in 2010 led by Bukola Saraki and later by Rotimi Amaechi to share the $25 billion Excess Crude Account among the FG, States and LGs,rather than to admonish them to look for alternative. Sadly, Nigerians never felt the impact of the so call shared dollar windfall. It only expanded the financial war-chest of the politicians and their friends. If this fund was still in place, Nigeria will have no business to resort to borrowing of less then N500b to pay salaries.


The Way Forward
Though President-elect Muhammadu Buhari made loads of promises, he should not subject himself to any form of pressure so as not to make ridiculous decision that will ruin the country in his bid to fulfil his pledge. Buhari should as a matter of urgency scrap the Amnesty Program, he should send an Executive bill to the NASS for the creation of Excess Crude Account Fund and/or any Savings fund that the country may turn to when in dire need. He should put hold to all his social programs and place emphasis on developmental programs. As a matter of importance, he should cut his entire pay package by at least 50% and encourage his Aides and Cabinet members to do same. He should also encourage his party-men to do same. The extra monies should be used as an intervention fund or for capital projects. He should also reduce his number of foreign trips and those of his Aides and Ministers. President-elect Buhari need to revisit the call for Fiscal Federalism (which he promised in 2011), so as to empower states while he creates special fund for the "not-so-viable" states and region to move the nation forward.

The President-elect should revisit our 3 existing refineries and put them in at least 90% productive state so as to reduce our dependent on imported refined petroleum product, and at the same time solve the ever increasing subsidy bills. He should strengthen the anti-corruption agencies and ensure that whoever is indicted is prosecuted and not just that, the loot of the thief is retrieved. His corruption fight should begin with members of his "caucus" and extend outside so as to win the confidence of Nigerians especially the non-Northerners. He should also send executive bill to the parliament to amend sections of our criminal laws and codes that does not reflect to the present reality.

The manufacturing sector should be encouraged along with improved electricity so as to boost our economic prospects. Insecurity ought to be addressed and should not be limited to Boko-Haram fight alone.

President-elect Buhari should do these in addition to long term economic policies for the growth of Nigeria. The success of Buhari's administration is vital for the success of Nigeria. Though in opposition, I shall always wish the administration well.



God Bless Nigeria

My very intimate friend was recently at the rough end of a physical assault from her husband. This has been going on for a while and as usual she found it very difficult to tell me because she knows I won't take it well. Her hubby was due to travel back to NIGERIA from the UK and as usual he was packing her designer bags as gifts to his younger sister who by the way was not on speaking terms with my friend. Her mild rejection of his plan which was all the more insulting since he did not take permission from her before just invading her closet got him mad and the beating and blows commenced.

She said this time, she was sure that he meant to kill her. He grabbed tight her throat, planning to choke her, scratched at her face all the while raining blows on her repeatedly screaming, the intervention of her kids and her father could not save her from this hell. When he was done, he left her utterly humiliated and headed for the airport.

To make matters worse, her parents not wanting the humiliation of a divorce are insisting that she should remain a good wife and even go and apologise to the beast for verbally and physically assaulting her.

I love her and remain deeply helpless as I see that this will not end. So I ask, when is it justifiable to beat up a woman or is it ever justifiable to do that?

What advise can I give her. I plan to rescue her but would she be alive by the time I am ready? I am afraid.

Okorocha is not owing anybody. Imo State is not a State that you will owe and people keep quiet. PDP and jealous brothers from Anambra should face the reality that Okorocha is the most powerful Igbo man alive today. If they like let them write all the lies in the world we in Imo know and live with the truth. We all have relatives that teach and none is owed. He even pays extra 13th month every year.

Yes the most powerful in your family not in Igbo land.

I wonder when this country will be free frm corrupt acts

it's never gonna be free, cause people make living through corruption and go free, while the innocent good citizens suffer and almost can't eat. Nigerians are industrious people if they don't have it this way they get it the other way, preaching to be a good person is like pouring water on a stone when that person is suffering, God help us.

You wake up in the morning with plans to go to work and do your best, police wake up in the morning and think of who to extort money from, when I look at their sluggishness at checking points me wonder how they can handle that AK47 they carry about to combat crime, other than harassing civilians with it (though not all of them), But it's all goes down to their ogaswho can't manage his unit/station and encourage their bad behavior, yet we want a crime free society

The booby traps before Buhari – Olisa Agbakoba.

Ahead of the inauguration of the president-elect, Maj-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and human rights activist, Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, looks at issues in the polity which, according to him, border on national order,
constitutional reform, devolution of powers, anti-corruption, diversification of the economy, driving new public revenue, maritime, space and aviation. Agbakoba, however, says the litmus test for the president-elect concerns the political will to deal with salaries paid to federal lawmakers as well as the huge budgetary allocation to the Presidential Villa. Excerpts:

ECONOMY- Look at South Africa that is giving us problems today owns MTN. But MTN makes much money in Nigeria than Dangote Group of Companies and all the banks put together. Yet, they have nothing here. How can any serious policy planner allow such a leak, where people are allowed to come into the country, make money and take it away. With this, Nigeria will continue to bleed. So, financial planning requires Gen. Buhari to shed the roots and trees. He has to put Nigeria first. I had expected the Nigerian government to summon the South African ambassador and warn him that their businesses here will suffer if they continue to kill Nigerians in their country. Nigeria is a great country and I had only wished that the incoming President will fulfil his campaign promises.  CONTINUED- CONSTITUTION-

One thing we must understand is that Nigeria’s problem is not its economic resources or its finances, but its lack of peace. This lack of peace has a history in the shape of three political constitutions we have operated. The colonial constitution, which was not in the interest of Nigeria; the civil constitution, which lasted between 1960 and 1966 and didn’t serve the interest of Nigerians; and the military constitutions designed to empower the various heads of state but didn’t have the interest of Nigerians at heart. The makers of the constitutions were ruling for the sake of themselves and their constituencies. Therefore, there wasn’t any peace and that was why the pro-democracy movement rose to challenge and confronted them. Then, we had the Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan’s attempts to find peace in Nigeria. The National Conferences we have had were about peace and stability in Nigeria. That is why the biggest power the President enjoys is the power given by Section 5 to order the state of things in Nigeria, for the peace, order and good governance of the country. But, unfortunately, the National Conference process starting from Obasanjo, who had a third term agenda, was not genuine and the Jonathan process, which I was a party to, is incomplete. As I speak, we don’t have political compass for Nigeria. So, we are a mass of people with various cleavages and fault lines – religious, ethnic, linguistic – roaming in the vast territorial space called Nigeria, which Chief Obafemi Awolowo referred to as a geographical expression. We have not condescended Nigeria into a national spirit which we can say for the love of country. Unless, this is tackled, we are heading nowhere yet. This is why I have written the president-elect to be aware of the booby-traps.
CORRUPTION-

The second most important issue Buhari must pay attention to is corruption. All governments of Nigeria have paid lip-service to the issue of corruption. Buhari has now presented himself as a person and he has gotten a groundswell of support from Nigerians across the divides to tackle corruption. So, he has to be held to account for all the political promises he made. He should deal with the unconstitutional salaries of the National Assembly members. The Revenue Fiscal Mobilization and Allocation Commission (RFMAC) sets salaries, but the National Assembly refused to follow it. The money Nigerian lawmakers get constitutes about 25 percent of our national budget. Why won’t Nigerians want to go to the National Assembly if, as a member of the House of Representatives, I can get about N600 million, on the average, in a year? The lawmakers in the Senate get as much as N1 billion per annum; that’s why they kill themselves to go there. So, the lawmaker’s interest is not to go and make or pass laws, but because of the money that is there. That is also why they perform below average. I see this development as a corrupt practice and that is another most important thing Buhari must confront. The National Assembly must be brought to book. They must be made to conform with the constitution. It’s a big shame that the lawmakers are the ones that break the constitution and pay themselves the stupendous salaries they take home. I put this as a litmus test to Buhari. If he is able to tackle this issue of bringing the National Assembly within the lawful pay structure of Nigeria, I will clap for him. Then, of course, the profligate lifestyle of the average Nigerian politician has to go. Ten aircraft in the presidential fleet, when we have no national carrier?

When de wer behavin like 'illiterates' during d campaign, i tot de had plan B o. Here we are. De are d 1st to even set agenda 4 president elect. Igbos want SGF, speaker or depty, ministers [some already slaping diaselves at Enugu], after ambassadors, minister of FCT! So funny realy. B4 our eyes all this things are happenin. Where is dt tribalistic Barcanista now. U see una urselves?! Nw u guys are showing ur prostitutions! So u guys are afraid of marginalization?

some of our Leaders is a disgrace to me

jmichlins:

you need to start seeing beyond being an Igbo and see the bigger picture of Nigeria. We Igbos need true federalism to survive without the government influence and until then, we need to play politics in the center and not by the side. The Yorubas understand this well

Yes by installing a puppet on you ,for you to think you are getting your Federalism, you see what I mean... You are not even seeing BEEN THE yond what you narrated here, What of Ekweremadu because he's PDP? You guys should understand what APC is so that you won't regret having a representative under them, earlier this week Okey Ezzea was slapped in a meeting for saying the true position of things, una never see change yet. THE PEOPLE IS THE PRIMARY REASON OF EVERY CONGRESS NOT SOME PEOPLE POLITICAL AMBITION

jmichlins:

I live in nnewi and may I remind you that as a senator, he doesn't award contracts but make laws. the same man that you people clamoured for to be the governor of anambra less than two years ago if not for the Apga Igbo party slogan has now become a non performer? we Igbos chai!!!!! Let me have the Senate president and worry whether he performs or not. The Ijaws are clamouring for their son to remain the President even when they didn't enjoy much of his six years. Just enter a government agency with the stamp of Senate President and see the wonders it does

oga wake up

jmichlins:
As I always tell my fellow Igbos and people of anambra central specially, our hatred, religion bigotry and inability to see beyond our nose denied us the third office of this country and we have no one to blame but ourselves. We hated APC and all it brought and voted out Ngige because we want to make sure that Buhari fails and it has backfired big time on us. But the funny thing is that many of us are yet to realize that Buhari has won and that's why you see some claiming that they don't need the government influence to survive. Obiano was cautioned by some people for visiting Buhari and I ask, is this our fate till at least four years to come. We will be the first to cry neglected and whoever that extends his hand beyond our wall is labeled saboteur. Okorocha got lucky

you are a clown it's ur aura of reasoning that has back fired to you by affecting ur current state of reasoning, the people matter more than party. we want a representative not a puppet, APC promised good governance so they should work with the peoples choice not their own choice
