D Depot has been shut since 2005 and all of u remained quiet till 2020 when there was a general fuel increase.

U just want a new reason to shout marginalization

Dotez:

Leave it if Erica comes out she go tumble Nollywood

LoL... I see Chidinma uwajumogu there.

So the dead senators sister wanted to contest and take over from her dead brother

What is senator araraumes name doing there, someone that was a senator and did nothing for us the first time.

Congrats Ibezim well deserved.

Ehime mbano try Sha, both the minister representing imo and the senator is from ehime mbano. I hope this improves the lives of our people and Nigerians at large

If bbnaija is all about entertainment and we were to make things square kiddwaya or Nengi or Erica are supposed to win.

I have not seen any thing special that should make laycon win, kiddwaya is a better candidate for the win

Same time food prices increase, electricity tariff increased, they put stamp duty on all banking transaction, now they want to increase fuel price.


Alot of us there's nothing we are benefitting from this country but they are all making sure they frustrate us.


When I see people engaging in Yahoo, I don't blame them, the way them no send this country na so the country no send them

flyingpig:

Federal government should stop meddling in the affairs of businesses.

U increase tax, but u don't want them to increase price neither do u want them to sack staff to reduce expenses...

Nigeria's business policy is very fvcked

In America in ur own street u would be seeing things like this and u can't dare touch them

Nigerians if them no cast anywhere for others them no go rest, very soon going to Ghana will be as hard as travelling to Europe

If southerners were cattle rearers can they take there cattle to any farm in the north example kano, katsina, sokoto, zamfara. And feed their cattles there and come back in one piece?

helinues:
Imagine, ordinary reviewing the 1999 constitution dey give Northern elders headache.

This people are the real parasite

theres nothing wrong with what they said though. What they speak is the truth. This was how the north warned us about national confab being a waste and they were insulted, 5years after it, after all the billions spent yet nothing

tamdun:
The border issue pain Ghana gan ni and that's just child's play compared to other things we can do to make them suffer, they also have citizen in Nigeria

going after their citizens should come last, to reduce the number of nigerians in ghana, fg shoul stop nigerians from schooling their. Thats the major thing their country benefits from our citizens as ghana has been a tertiary education hub to nigerians thereby adding to their economy.

Nigerian students alone spend over #30bn studying in ghana, not to talk of tourists from nigeria.

What exactly does ghanians contribute to our economy?

Rossinky:
No be una fault.

It is our federal govt that is even wasting time and stooping low to be exchanging letters with you.

By the time we sponsor rebel movements to destabilize your country and scatter that your ''peaceful society'', una eye go clear.

Tiny country feeling funky.

y una go use rebels scatter their country, them beg or force una to go their country?

If northern lawyers want to start up a regional organization they should know that their practice will be limited to northern states alone, Abuja is the only netutral ground for both the north and the South

*The petition that nailed Rufai*


Lawyers write NBA to stop Gov El-Rufai from addressing NBA Conference, give reasons.

18 August, 2020

Chair, Technical Committee on Conference Planning (TCCP)
Nigerian Bar Association, NBA
CBD, Abuja

REQUEST TO WITHDRAW THE OFFER OF PLATFORM AT THE 2020 ANNUAL GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION TO MALLAM NASIR EL-RUFAI

We are a collective of lawyers enrolled to practice in Nigeria and have duly subscribed for our Practicing Fees in 2020. We have learnt that the TCCP under your leadership has chosen to invite Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, as a headline speaker to address the 60th Anniversary Annual Conference of our beloved Association. We regret that our Association, whose Motto is “Promoting the Rule of Law” extended this invitation to a man who represents the very anti-thesis of what we profess to defend. We, therefore, write as members of the NBA and citizens of Nigeria to request that this invitation should be withdrawn. We set out our reasons below.
As you may know, at the end of June 2020, Civic Media Lab, which monitors mortality in Nigeria’s many security crises, declared Kaduna State, which is governed by Mallam El-Rufai, as “the most dangerous state in Nigeria.” As recorded by the organization, Kaduna’s “record of 493 persons killed between January and June, is higher than the reported deaths in the Boko qHaram/ISWAP terrorised territories of Borno; 290, Adamawa; 37 and Yobe; 5.” As at today, Southern Kaduna is the most active site of massacres and mass atrocities in Nigeria. Despite this, when the Governor met with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Kaduna on 17 August, Governor El-Rufai dismissed the atrocities going on in Southern Kaduna as “media hype”. The previous day, on 16 August, he informed Seun Okinbaloye on Channels Television’s “Politics Today” programme, that he had been unable to visit the sites of atrocity in Southern Kaduna nor extend empathy to the victims because of COVID-19. However, not having found time to show up for victims of mass killings in his own state, on 8 August, Governor el-Rufai found time to travel to Benin-City for the flag-off of the Campaign of his party in the Edo State Governorship elections. Apparently, COVID-19 did not preclude that.
In April 2020, Bello El-Rufai, Governor El-Rufai’s son, who is also himself a special adviser to the Senator representing Kaduna Central in the Senate, Uba Sani, threatened another citizen who had criticized his father, the governor, with the gang-rape of the person’s mother. When Samuel Ogundipe, a journalist with Premium Times, reported the episode, Bello El-Rufai, parlaying his filial propinquity to a powerful governor, threatened to arrest or disappear Mr. Ogundipe.
In the run-up to the 2019 General Election in Nigeria, Governor El-Rufai infamously threatened foreign observers that they would “go back in body bags” if they reported what he or his ruling party did not like. He suffered no consequences.
As you may know, on 9 December 2019, Quartz Africa named Governor El-Rufai at the head of a “powerful” group of Nigerian state governors who “now regularly use security agents to arrest & intimidate journalists & activists who dare to question their actions or attempt to hold them accountable.” One of the most prominent victims of this is University lecturer, Abubakar Idris, better known as Dadiyata, who was abducted from the gate of his house in Barnawa, Kaduna, on 1 August 2019 and has not been seen since then. At 10:16 Hours on 23 December 2019, one of Governor El-Rufai’s sons, Bashir, issued a tweet gloating over the disappearance of Dadiyata, in which he signed off with the line “Dangerous lines in the public space have consequences.” The Kaduna State government has not much acted as if the disappearance of Dadiyata is of much concern to it.
Many other critics of Governor El-Rufai have been luckier, but only because they ended up in prison or detention. These include university lecturer Dr. John Danfulani. Digital activist, Stephen Kefason, was abducted from his home in Rivers State on the orders of Governor El-Rufai and detained for over five months. Luka Biniyat, journalist with Vanguard Newspaper, was also detained and, at the instance of Governor El-Rufai, fired from his job for writing a report the Governor didn’t like. The same thing happened to Segun Onibiyo, another journalist with the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, FRCN.
A major focus of the intolerance of Mallam El-Rufai has been lawyers and the legal profession. In 2016, when he was visited by the then President of the Nigerian Bar, A.B. Mahmoud, SAN, Governor El-Rufai threatened to the NBA President to abduct Kaduna lawyer, Ms. Gloria Ballason, because she had criticized him in a news article, a perfectly lawful act of exercising constitutionally protected speech. Ms. Ballason sued to protect her rights and in May 2017, secured a judgment of the High Court of Kaduna State, which found that the Governor had indeed violated her rights. The High Court awarded also damages against the Governor. He refused to pay up. Instead, he instigated another round of violations of the rights of Ms. Ballason, instructing the Kaduna State Police Command to blockade her law office in Kaduna at the end of 2019. In July 2020, the High Court of Kaduna State presided over by Honorable Justice Hannatu Balogun again found Governor El-Rufai and the Police in Kaduna State under his direction, in violation of the right of Ms. Ballason to practice her vocation as a lawyer. The High Court specifically found that they had violated the United Nations Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers.
As the proceedings were pending in February 2017 in Ms. Ballason’s case, Governor El-Rufai arranged to abduct one of her clients, Audu Maikori, from Lagos. Mr. Maikori, himself a lawyer of some distinction, was transported to Kaduna on the orders of Mallam El-Rufai, where he was detained and tortured, first at the police before being sent into detention. Both the High Court and the Court of Appeal have found that the conduct of the Governor constituted egregious violations of the laws and the constitution. There is presently pending an award of N10.5 million against the Governor for the violations inflicted on Audu Maikori. Governor El-Rufai will not comply or pay up.
On the eve of the presidential elections in February 2019, Mallam El-Rufai took to the television to announce on 15 February 2019, that “66 Fulanis” had been massacred in an Adara settlement in Kajuru Local Government Area in Southern Kaduna. The Police as well as the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), denied that any such incident happened. When Dr. Chidi Anselm Odinkalu, one of our leading members and former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, challenged Mallam El-Rufai to provide proof of his claims, the governor sought to procure his abduction with an order in a case that did not have a suit number.
You may argue that it is a good thing to offer Mallam El-Rufai the platform of the #NBAAGC2020 so that he may be subjected to some examination by the participants. However, as you can see, those who have criticized him so far, many of them well placed members of our Association, have suffered untold persecution from Mallam El-Rufai or his family. When these members of our Association fought for their freedom and against their own persecution by Mallam El-Rufai, neither the NBA nor its leadership showed up. If you ask our members to criticize him now, will you protect them when Mallam El-Rufai levies his inevitable retribution and persecution or will you offer us all balaclavas so that we will ask him question with our faces fully covered?!
We have set these out factually because we do not wish to be presumptuous. This then is the person that you have decided to elevate and offer a platform at the biggest gathering in defence of the rule of law in Africa. As Governor, Mallam El-Rufai has shown no regard for the rule of law, for human rights or for human beings. He has been reckless in his utterances, hubristic in his outlook and irresponsible with power. Offering him the platform of the NBA Annual General Conference 2020 is reward for misrule.
Recall that in 2018, this very platform was given to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and he used it to advance an agenda that is against the motto of the Nigerian Bar Association when he asserted thatb”Rule of Law must bow before National Security. That is still a very bad stain on the image of the Nigerian Bar even now. Let us not repeat such a reckless mistake as this is even potentially worse
This is why we have chosen to appeal to your professional conscience with a factually founded letter to withdraw this invitation that brings our cherished Association into irremediable disrepute. We hope that you will find our correspondence worthy of your time and our prayers deserving of your attention. If, however, it is the preference of the TCCP, to disregard our very reasonable request, we will take steps to make you and your conference popular and join you in ensuring that the Conference under your leadership enjoys maximum disrepute.
Yours sincerely

To me let's remove tribalism, is what is written on that letter true and factual?

If it is then they have nothing to fear, a clear conscience fears nothing

Kwamecron:
My simple advice on these matter should be...

1. everybody is entitled to form a decent association.

2. The northern should form their association
While the East should swift into action. The south I trusted don’t relax on this issue.

3. Not entitled the southwest will form thier own parallel NEw bars now the ipobs will be shouting in envy and hatered until it’s too late for them to understand what NIGERIA really his.
They don’t get it.

Talk like reasonable human being abeg, say u speak English no mean say sense dae

This is what everybody knows even people who are blind.

By the time Lagos-ibadan-kano rail line is completed, port Harcourt maiduguri started 2nd Nigeria bridge completed the name Buhari will be cemented in gold in the pages of Nigerias history

Maximum respect to sanusi. When he had issues with the govt he swallowed it fair and square and never lowered his dignity. Neither did he loose his pride.

When only anambra alone as small as it is have almost 100monarchs they position of kingship gets turned to errand boy role

ToyinDipo:
May we not be tasked with fetching water inside basket.
After all the time and money spent voting Erica, she will still end up getting disqualified.
Erica fans, keep voting with all you've got so that BB can pay up Laycon the 85M owed.

Erica will get disqualified except they cancel those strikes

igasiboy98:
These idiots still found a way to pin it in laycon, At this point, their obsession with laycon's success na ment.

If Erica is a threat to their winner and they wanted to send her out by now she would be in lekki epe expressway

Chibabe005:
that's not fair.

Tacha, had two strikes and no strong final warning.. that's not fair

biggie should send Erica the dog home already.

Tacha situation was that she had strikes before they cancelled the strikes only for her to do worst and get another set

Threebear:
Parasitic ?
Yet Ozo was the one that gave Nengi immunity.
Tell me one thing Ozo has benefitted from that ship that makes him a parasite ?
Touch , he cannot touch .
Kiss he can't kiss.
Even to rock for dance floor like Laycon uses Nengi's ass as a piano no chance

Even the choke kiddwaya chokes , he can't even do that one .
Yet you call my boy a parasite ,after the useless Nengi has finished using him and even hustled immunity from him .

Tell me exactly one thing Ozo don gain from that relationship ...abi is it the watery indomie Nengi cooks for him sporadically ?

Ozo na you do yourself .

Absolutely no gain. Only to seat down dae talk nonsense

If they allow vote to count I swear Pdp will win Edo state.

Without force or rigging it's hard for Apc to wish any state in the SS/SE. It's not a Buhari thing, these people have gotten too used to the name Pdp.

If I be obaseki after this campaign video the next one I will play will be when oshiomole was calling Ize iyamu a cultist I will be playing 2 of them over and over again till elections.

Ikwerre people don't joke with politics o.

If not for the fact that they are a minority I swear them and the north for dae get major clash.

I won't be surprised if this small matter if they don't settle it, it will turn into a cult war

What does the IGP wants us the ordinary man to do about the matter?

Munzy14:
Nengi sense no reach there..


na flirting sure for her... I pity ozo the mr nice guy... But his looks appeared playboy in week1...

Swears... While Kidd appeared Mr nice in week one.

Imagine ozo way shake Nigerian girls in week one so much that toke makinwa said she had a crush, come turn to this kind thing.

Though alot of girls outside the house will be dieing for him for this his style nengi is just not his type

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Nengi body as a whole make sense, She too fine.I understand ozo weakness.Thats why we hail kidwaya for not sending her. Nengi is angry he has gotten all the guys in that house except Kidwaya.

I never see nengi with brighto before o
