bayooooooo: Jack Bot? That does not sound Nigerian.

when you hear bot, pam, gyang, jang, jung, dungs.... e.t.c they are from Plateau state, Jos . They have got very pretty girls (you didn't hear that from me o..)and the people are very accomodating.

Kobojunkie: Prosecute, Jail but do not kill them yet. It is my turn to get my share of the Nigerian loot, so do not dare change the rules now.

ole! You'll be the first to chop Bin Buhari's koboko not kobojunkie. LoL..

honeric01: Who's like him?

what do you mean? There are still upright people like him in Nigeria. He will never recommend a corrupt person.

unclenna: That's y he will nt rule nigeria...the man is the Indiamine of Nigeria.

if you, your family and friends are upright and not corrupt, then you have nothing to fear.

Bin Buhari has spoken the truth and nothing but the truth. We need someone that can sanitise Nigeria. Why do you think Fashola is making raves in Lagos. How i wish we can change our system of governance to COMMUNISM, after ridding Nigeria of corrupt individuals then we revert back to DEMOCRACY. Bin Buhari, you have spoken the truth but don't contest in 2015 o... Give us someone like you. We really need a revolution in Nigeria.

If she is trying to cut costs for Ebonyi State by taking Keke Napep instead of SUV's that cost alot of tax payers money, i'll call that honourable but Drunkeness, i find that hard to comprehend. Well what men can do (both positive & negative things), women seem to be doing it better these days.

If this allegation about this female lawmaker is true, then this is really dishonourable.

Lawmakers at the Ebonyi State House of Assembly yesterday suspended one of their colleagues, MRS. Lillian Igwe, over alleged drunkenness.
The House also ordered its former Speaker, Ikechukwu Nwankwo, to refund N105 million he allegedly misappropriated while in office, following a report by its ad hoc committee, which probed Nwankwo’s tenure.
However, sensing a brewing crisis in the House, Governor Martin Elechi yesterday invited the lawmakers for a late-night meeting to resolve the matters.
Moving the motion to suspend Igwe (PDP, Ivo), the member resenting Afikpo South East State Constituency, Blasé Orji, alleged that she was seen on several occasions drinking herself into a state of stupor and vomiting on herself, “thereby bringing the House to ridicule and disrepute”.
“Mr. Speaker, Honourable members, the House has been brought to ridicule by the member representing Ivo State Constituency Hon. Lillian Igwe. She does not only engage in excessive alcoholic drinking, she also boards tricycles popularly called KEKE NAPEP to the House, thereby not carrying herself as an honourable member. Mr. Speaker based on this therefore, I move a motion that Hon Lillian Igwe be suspended from the House,” Oji moved.
Christian Ursulor, (PDP, Ezza South) seconding the motion.
After taking contributions from other members of the House, the Speaker, Chukwuma Nwazunku, put the motion to question and it was unanimously adopted.
But Igwe, a lawyer, who was absent from the plenary told reporters that there was no truth in the allegations, stressing that “only the members’ imaginations played out the petty behaviour they accused me of.”
The refund order on the former speaker followed the submission of the report by the seven-man ad-hoc committee set up by the House to probe financial transactions under Nwankwo, spanning from June 7 to December 20, 2011.
Submitting the report, the committee’s chairman, Odefa Obasi Odefa, disclosed how the committee discovered that the former Speaker, “embezzled over N28 million out of the N30 million given to the House as take-off grant; N3 million as out-of-pocket allowance from N15 million given to the House for renovation of the house chambers; N25 million meant for wardrobe allowance of House members; N5 million for procurement of drugs for the House and N7 million for installation of satellite dishes for the offices of the members”.
The committee also accused the erstwhile Speaker, who was impeached last year on grounds of misappropriation of funds belonging to the House, of “diverting N15 million from the Assembly’s accounts as legal fees; N5 million for non-accident bonus; N10 million for production of the House journal and another N32 million as out-of-pocket allowances as well as purchasing a 33KVA generator with the N3 million released to him for insurance cover for members’ cars.
After the report was submitted, the House dissolved into a committee of the whole. And after extensive deliberations, it resolved that the impeached Speaker alongside the suspended Accountant of the House, Martins Ibenyi, be asked to refund the money.

They have the skill, expertise, equipment and they are never bias (they will never sweep anything under the carpet). For that reason, they are welcome jare... It seems we can't do anything on our own properly in this country. How i wish it's possible, i will bring foreigners into Nigeria to govern us.

We all know GEJ is the one that has brought this hate upon himself but that doesn't mean we should lay every blame at his doorstep. He has done what is required of him as the President by visiting the site of the crash. Forget Abati and forget the tweets. Its a sad period and everyone is mourning.

I guess you may be having a change of mind now? Don't panic. You should still pursue your dreams and when you finally become an air hostess, ensure you don't fly on a plane that has an history like that of Dana that crashed yesterday. And if you find yourself on a plane like that and you aren't comfortable with it, feign illness or collapse shortly before take off.

Are we deliberating this? Automatically, the airline should be suspended pending investigation.

ememonl: So what do you want him to do? biuld power stations to meet Nigerias power needs over night, go on the road with an anti bokoharam tester, and shoot any one who tests positive to bokoharam huh. These regime is working, just that it is not blowing its trumpet, check fertilizers which are neccessary to grow your food, check work going on at airports and aviation generally, check commencement of industrialization and processing of agric products etc. The question now is, what are you doing?

im not your President so i can't provide electricity, security, water, affordable healthcare for Nigerians because i don't have Federal Government resources and might. I am a patriotic citizen of Nigeria so therefore, i don't steal and cheat wherever i find myself. Im considerate about other Nigerians and so therefore, i don't put my interests above others. I try to help in my little ways. I can't say of you.

He regime isn't the worst for now but in little or no time, he may end up being the worst. I read the book - WHY WE STRUCK (story of the first Nigerian coup). It was written and i quote- Nzeogwu and i had dubbed Ironsi's government, ''the do nothing government.'' He was really afraid to move his feet. He therefore dragged and dragged his feet instead of moving them. Therefore he clasped and clasped them instead of lifting them - Adewale Ademoyega, 1981. From what was written above im forced to liken Yar adua and GEJ's govt. to Ironsi's government. But what about Gowon, IBB, Abacha, Obasanjo & Yar' adua's regime? They all didn't take Nigeria to the promised land. Corruption characterized IBB's govt., Dictatorship characterized Abacha's govt., Disrespect for the rule of law characterized Obasanjo's govt., Slow to action characterized Yar adua's govt., and what characterized Yar adua's govt., has continued and has reached unbelievable heights under GEJ including corruption and disrepect for the rule of law. GEJ's actions and inactions seem not to be in the best interest of ordinary Nigerians and he his fast losing the goodwill he enjoyed from them. If he continues in this manner, then his regime may end up being the worst.

153 passengers = at least 306 passengers = at least 1530 friends thrown into mourning. This is really disheartning.

[quote author=Brand_new]He was one of the finest OIP`s we ever had. I still remember the open house party on Raypower vividly.[/quote]i remember vividly too.

Is the simple truth 'extreme opinion'? I guess you have started enjoying Govt. money too. Yes, Abiola deserves to be honoured but your principal seems to be a professional in bungling goodwill. There are many areas your principal has performed poorly.

musKeeto: U travel by road, A tanker will catch fire..by air, plane crashes..u sit in ur house,the plane will come and meet u, u go to church boko haram will attack u,u go by sea,militants will attack,u finally run to ur village,u r kidnapped..! No safe place in naija.What A Life?

And people will like this crap, then crack jokes with it and next week life goes on.... let's keep destroying our land by our in actions, fear and cowardice...

LOL

You people have come again o..

Beaf: Why do you think it won't be a smooth sail? There aren't many ACN members of the NASS.
Who outside ACN, do you think is going to vote against MKO's legacy for petty political gain?

Anytime I hear tales about GEJ's fortunes dwindling, I can be 90% certain that I am talking to someone who lives abroad.

i know how Nigeria was and i still know how it is. It is now clear that GEJ is surrounded by sycophants.

Beaf: That is sentimental nonsense. All you guys are doing is seeing the egg is ending up in your faces and manufacturing a thousand ways to go about renaming in the "right manner."

GEJ renames. NASS ratifies. Period.

i guess he didn't put that into consideration before. It won't be a smooth sail for GEJ on the floor of the house. I guess you didn't realise that his fortunes seem to be dwindling BADLY.

Beaf: That is sentimental nonsense. All you guys are doing is seeing the egg is ending up in your faces and manufacturing a thousand ways to go about renaming in the "right manner."

GEJ renames. NASS ratifies. Period.

the fact still remains that GEJ and you guys seem to be ignorant of the law. You guys should stop doing shoddy jobs.

Jyde89: Change the topic pls! The match ended 1-0.

abi o

Reference: Which match are you watching.

Goodluck babes VS Unilag warriors.

[quote author=Beaf:]Big bros...you shouting too much, i didnt see anything wrong in that, just a reward for hard work..... [/quote]hard work indeed! This is so funny. I thought Governors and Presidents are servants so how can they dictate to their master what they should get? Beaf is openly endorsing looting o..

The fact still remains that 'the owner of the school' didn't go about it the right manner.

160 passengers = atleast 320 families = atleast 1600 friends thrown into mourning. This news is really disheartening. Oh my God!

carlos86: Where is the link to your story?You can't just post something like this without link or reference

don't you watch the news? Its all over there. I first read it in Saturday Punch like 2-3 months ago and he finally signed it on Thursday. To the issue at hand, this is open robbery. I remember when Amaechi became Governor for his 1st term, he didn't seem sure of himself. Now, fast forward to 2012. Power has really corrupted him.

All what these Yoruba leaders are concerned about is just the honouring of Abiola and nobody is against that because he truly deserves it but these Yoruba elders are not seeing Abiola for what he truly represented. The reason for the protests was because stakeholders of Unilag just can't bear the thought of the name and identity they have built for 50 years disappear just like that. If the FG truly want to honour Abiola because he stands for everything Democracy, then the following should have been considered; National Stadium Abuja, NASS Abuja, Eagle Square Abuja, Int. Airport Abuja e.t.c instead of Unilag that is in the SW and a college that Abiola was never recognised/associated with. By renaming Unilag, the FG still has not succeeded in honouring Abiola for what his struggle and death stands for. They have only made him seem like a tribal and not national figure. If Abiola is to be honoured, then he should be honoured PROPERLY.

moderattor: See a young man who isn't even sure of his first Degree
Challenging a double Phd holder. GEJ was a lecturer when this dude was in kindergarten.

People should know how to protest.

brilliance doesn't translate into intelligence. He reasons like somebody that hasn't got a Phd. He is not fit to be a leader.

[quote author=tpia@]so others mustnt have the same? [/quote]its so unfortunate and i understand their pain.

canuck: Cute Tj, a Great Akokite?! Ah, you fall my hand! I rest my case with you. If Unilag Womens Society Nursery School, Staff School, International School, and Unilag did not rub-off on you, what more can I say na?

Truly, the Fifth Column among us is beginning to emerge.

But you are part of a tiny minority of people who can't wait to change their CVs from Unilag to Maulag. . .Tufiakwa!

hehehe! LOL! My bro, im not saying im in support of its change of name but im neutral about it. (I already have all my certificates with Unilag on it). I understand how we don't want to lose the brand name but[b] Abiola too deserves to be honoured.[/b] But trust Jonathan with the dunce that he is didn't deem it fit to consult with the Governing Council so therefore, i resist the name change myself.
