emmanuelike:Really? |
voxsaint:Yup, yup ![]() |
gwales:Okay maybe I am mixing it up. But Shekarau outclassed them all that day. I don't know if you remember or if you watched it. |
voxsaint:Ibrahim Shekarau of Kano state. Former Kano state governor. Former National president of ANCOPPS During his tenure as governor (before Kwankwaso) not one riot took place in notorious Kano state He is the candidate that made El Rufai, Nuhu Ribadu and Buhari look like incompetent people during the 2011 presidential debate (the debate that Jonathan refused to attend). He outshined everyone. This man was the leader of the ANPP, merged with APC and saw they were disorganised before moving with his camp to the PDP (in 2015)knowing full well he was not going to get a presidential ticket. This man should have the PDP ticket and the VP does not have to come from the SS. The S.W or S.E may be good (for VP for strategic reasons) |
In what reality do some of our leaders live. They seem to actually invest efforts in remaining completely lost in imagined and preferred realities. It must soothe their hearts somehow, this embraced self-deception. |

We are the ones to give them more than a chance. Indeed, don't we go a-worshipping the dum-dums and fence-climbing leaders we have today? Simply decide to elevate (respect)the Ibrahim SHkaraus and the Donald Dukes and the others like that more than the ones we know to be Thug-like, not knowledgeable, or corrupt? |

It is out that Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that elements in the last government won a gold medal in corruption. Obviously still gleeful about winning in 2015 (which winners should be) I wonder... ...if he is aware of the super damage Buhari has done on his reputation. Is he aware Nigerians all over the country see him as the man responsible for deliberately foisting this administration on us? Is he aware he can never disassociate himself from being seen as the spearhead of what many Nigerians consider one of our greatest mistakes in this era? Throwing ourselves backwards when everyone else in the world is going forward. What does the calculation tell him in his mind tell him this has done to the weight of any recommendation he may make to the Nigerian people in the future? By further dipping himself in the pool of error, how does it help his chances of successfully redeeming himself from the political catastrophe that comes with being seen as the deliberate champion of the retrogression, propaganda, corruption and lies that have come to be known as the bane of this administration he helped in and which he keeps lending his voice to? I think there are times for silence and Tinubu's inability to recognize the need for silence through out this period has already caused him to land himself political blows with these statements of his. ::::::::::::::::::::: Side note: ::::::::::::::::::::: It is apparent that Tinubu's eyes are on the ball, his bottom line. In this case, what he is getting from the administration As long as the plus and minuses are good (for him), As long as his interests are served, His remarks will always be glowing about the administration the rest of the country is cringing over. Clearly, his eyes are on the ball His eyes are on what is important to him. ::::::::::::::::::::: Side note2: ::::::::::::::::::::: This article is not about Ahmed Bola Tinubu's corrupt or not corrupt status. I choose to not add that into the mix www.nairaland.com/attachments/6267652_tinubumouth_jpeg92aa6a9a09cfed9baf9b3634b81addda |
Campusity:And the move is easily recognized as an attack at what they consider a credible not-in-their-camp political force |
MaziOmenuko:And you believe this kind of actions do not originate from orders from above |
Bringing this back up. Interesting how we all were right, and we weren't listened to |

The court has just ordered an interim forfeiture of the apartment belonging to Mrs. Oke, where the $43.4 stash was found not long ago. See news article here: http://headline.com.ng/court-orders-forfeiture-ikoyi-flat-43-4m-recovered/ The refusal of the government to state who exactly owns the money is totally inexplicable. For a government which is quick to make announcements, the different claims that have shrouded the ownership of the cash in mystery suggests to the minds of many that this money belongs to an individual well entrenched in this administration either administratively or politically. Does the government have the right to keep the results of the findings of the presidential committee set up to investigate this matter from the public which they serve? The public which employs them. Is there any reason why Mrs Folashade Oke's official explanation of how that money came to be in her apartment should be for the consumption of the EFCC alone? Can the EFCC say that at this point, they do not know exactly how the money came to be there? Whose money is it? Who does the EFCC serve? Whose money pays their salaries? Who should they be accountable to? Why can't we get these answers? Many had hoped for a new era of honesty and forthrightness but before our eyes the administration feeds the rest of the world with true life narratives with which any kind of conspiracy theories may be spun, creating the kind of mafia foreboding that enshrouded Nigeria during the Abacha and IBB eras. Long live our country. And may we be protected from current and future foxes that tell us they will lead us to a safer place because the lions have shattered us long enough. Amen. |
We all observe the drama. As we poise for 2019 |
kn23h:Good work. Igbos are going to hate this. An internal identity/heritage struggle/crises is what draws them to blow hot when not necessary. Their intellectual take on things in general for and for the most part, tends to clutch on shallow. ~ South-south voice |
So can we call this administration an anti-corruption administration? |

We were surprised when N3.38billion was earmarked last year for Aso Villa clinic (for infrastructure et al) in the 2016 budget. But what is more surprising now is that inspite of all the spending, the president has to camp for over 100 days abroad when he has medical concerns to tae care of. What then is the use of the Aso Villa clinic? What was the use of making it so well funded? May we ask exactly how that N3.38billion was spent such that the president is sure he cannot be catered for in our facilities any time he needs good medical care? http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/197827-2016-budget-buhari-to-spend-more-on-state-house-clinic-than-on-all-federal-teaching-hospitals.html

sunmike065:I will sell 125 to you at 345 |
Don't believe everything Igbos say. This may not be port harcourt at all. I'm still trying to recognise the place. But I have to say that there are just too many Igbos doing business in Port Harcourt and PH citizens are not the kind that will assault them physically for doing their thing. Except they go of course to an Okrika community withing Port Harcourt and choose not to stay on their own. So while I see nothing to indicate this is Port Harcourt, I understand that perhaps this could be in a place like Oyigbo. I say perhaps because while it is possible for such an assembly to gather at oyibo for Kanu, I don't know what the stand of the military and police are in R/S concerning gathering caused by him in public. |
Everything about the poise of Buhari and a Buhari regime just comes off as wrong When crossing a turbulent sea in a small boat, that is not the time for the men on the boat to engage in a fist fight. It is even worse when it happens to be the captain of the boat stoking the embers for the breakout of a fist fight within the already fragile boat. And this is the reason why I knew Buhari has been super wrong for our country. Any other northerner would have been good. It is not about where he comes from. Even IBB that we all have concluded was a bad man has more leadership skills. Reason? Leadership is about doing just that. Leading a mix of people successfully along. Already, humans are not easy to manage. The more they are the more diverse and the more skill you require in carrying them along in an improved direction. But what we have seen with the president is lots of catastrophic leadership mistakes. i) Mentioning 95% and 5% - super blunder ii) Arresting political characters but turning a blind eye to ravaging ethnic killers (fulani herdsmen) within the country iii) Instead of prosecuting them, suggesting as a "thank you" we should give them our lands iv) Suggesting we should do that when he knows very well that none of the top 10 beef producers world wide practice nomadic herding. In other words willing to use his leadership position to lead his people backwards. v). Now lumping both religions into one subject Who told you they do not know their will be resistance? Who told you they do not know that religion is a sensitive issue? Who told you they do not know that freedom to choose or change and to be religionless is enshrined in the laws that make us a country? Now when they come up with such a straight (and uncalled for) attempt at meddling with these freedoms (for no identifiable benefit to any of us or the solving of already well known national problems) is t not a shame to his legacy? Is this not especially so when we begin to wonder is this is what they sit down to think about in the face of our economic, power, health and even education problems? It is indeed a shame that the leader should be the main instigator of the boat's instability and that it would seem the national problems for which this leadership was chosen get substituted for one idea after the other which only serve to increase the instability of the boat in which we travel. God bless Nigeria. |
Just use a VPS or a VPN service and their clampdown will become useless. Any site they may wish to ban us from using, we will still be able to view and use, using VPN and VPS services |
oyb:They don't even like Jona as such. I tell you. There is a part of the igbo man that will feel inferior that an ijaw man became a president in the democratic era before him. So instead of making it clear that the Ijaw man is an Onye mbamini they quickly adopted and aligned with him not to look as total losers. We mbamini or mbamiri is what they have always called us in the south, south, with an unmistakable hint of a sneer (just as they call yoruba ofe-mannu, to despise them). I have always agreed that we should let igbos have their biafra so that we can have peace. I have also said that if we all say they should have it today, they will suddenly say... "Wait a minute. Why are they agreeing so easily? Something must be wrong somewhere. We're not going yet". ~ South-south boy |
LordOfNaira:Take a look at the graphic below and tell me if you still believe it was not the executive and indeed Buhari himself, behind that bill
|
Having their preferred man at the helm of the affairs in the senate would have made easier the backing of the whims and desires of the executive by the senate. Clearly, more of the intentions of the executive would be out-rightly supported or subtly promoted by the senate president, if he was the man the executive so badly wanted to put in place. Let us look at some of these executive intentions 1). Implementation of the social media bill. 2). Implenting a grazing reserve bill to ensure cattle is reared in Nigeria the same way it has been done thousands of years ago, even though we are in mordern times and absolutely none of the top beef producing countries in the world is practice nomadic herding. Other Nigerians would have been forced to forfeit their lands to empower the idea What else do you think would have happened if the executive's choice became senate president, and Bukola Saraki chose not to exercise his rights to satisfy his desire to contest, as his party's stalwarts told him?

Terkimbi01:Nigerians have always been crowning intellectually bereft people as kings/lords over them. Arewa fundamentalists crowned Buhari king over them The eastern ipob crown Kanu king over themselves. What the two scenarios have in common is the craving of a not-very-bright mass of subservient people for a lord over themselves, something they can call their hero. ~ Ijaw boy |
Terkimbi01:That does not make him not to be intellectually bereft. If a mad man starts running in your direction chasing a rat with a big matchet, will you not get on your toes? |
Kanu has been bereft intellectually in my view from the beginning. The sad thing is the conclusion we have to come to about most igbos, seeing they subscribed to his intellectually bereft approach to, and engagement with his so called mission |
