There's nothing compared to freedom in this life and the only person who worries not about his freedom is he who's mentally poor.

One of those agents of destruction massaging the ego of IPOB youths is spotted here.
If you are not Igbo and you want freedom why not commence your own agitation.

I am Igbo and am already free.

NwaEzefuNaMba:
Buhari is a monumental failure and anyone still doubting that is core daft(or maybe a programmed zombie)

Waging war against the judiciary at a time that the president is neither in good working relationship with the legislature nor even mere party member; that's certainly the beginning of the end of Buhari dynasty.

I rather think it marks the beginning of the end of people that think like you.
people that does not see anything good in their country, people that befriends any person charged with corruption.
I marks the rise of Buhari and all men of integrity who do their part to stamp out corruption.

Until dem tackle dullards brothers (Boko haram) dem just be waste of space

Must you throw up your ethnic idiosyncrasy at every opportunity?
Can you ever appreciate others?
Why are you so filled with hate?
remember if you don't appreciate others you may loose capacity to appreciate even yourself.

@Nigerian Navy, we are proud of you. keep it up.

I want to be among the few from my region to agree with Davido.
If we know how long it takes to enter recession, we will know that coming out of it wouldn't be so soon.
Davido was simply talking empirically while those criticizing him are just out pouring sentiments.

Use Use Greece as case study.

I would rather advise that we all pledge our loyalty to our dear country and support the government in this trying times

DICKtator:
But why would a serving governor go to a sitting judge's house to "rescue" him?

Did the sitting judge call him? You mean he has his telephone number?

What's his business with that?
I'm not "understanding"

It is obvious that Wike also doubles as "Superman" of a sought. He is encouraged to go further and act as bodyguards to kidnappers, armed robbers, rapists and other criminals in River state. Let him act his own as according to Fela "remember if you no act your own, one day of course we must die"

I wonder what the hullabaloo is all about.
Some persons suspected of corruption were arrested and here we are making issues out of it.
I have hear many people rely on separation of powers to criticize the actions of the DSS, I wonder whether executing the law is not part of the functions of the executive.
Some have based their criticism on the time of carrying out the arrest, I wonder whether there are times in day/ night that the law prohibits arrest from being made.
Under S.308 the constitution, there is no immunity cover for judges.
Some highly placed persons have argued the judges ought to have been invited and not arrested. Which law prohibits arrest but prescribes invitation for persons where there are hard evidences indicating that crime is being committed.

It is expected that judges leave above board and must be treated like criminals when they descend to that realm.

I respected Nwabueze before now but if indeed he made this comment without minding its implication on the polity since he is a man that is well regarded by many citizens then it is clear that our world view is far apart.

I however doubt he actually made such statement. He may have been quoted out of contest.

Orubebe Concluded.
Others to follow.

krendo:
Our democracy is in danger

I will not regret a coup de tat as it stands now because the will of the people currently counts for nothing

Oshiomole must not be allowed to get away with this.

Let PDP go to court. If justice is not done by the courts then let everyone prepare for free for all violence

You seem to be hiding under the shade of online discussion to incite violence.
Remember violence is an ill wind any may also blow through your part-, business, family et al.

JesusmyGod1:
Yes oh, blood for blood we Edo people must resist buhari and his dogs


I wish I'm in Edo now

Of course you cannot be in Edo because you are not from Edo, yet you can hide your faceless cowardice and stoke fire in another man land.
If that is what you are doing, you may not escape similar fate.

Edo people, count your teeth with your tongue. Not all those urging you on loves you!!!

mrvitalis:
This man is a big mistake

Well I h blame my imo brothers.. Because of ur help for we the mbaises we ended up here

Yet we claim we want one country.. . When an mbaise is hated by almost all imo people.. .

2019 is another chance to correct this man...

The day Buhari appoints this theif in his cabinets the day he loses my support

Why would everyone around you "HATE" you?
People don't just hate for hating sake.
I suggest you do soul searching and regurgitate over this question.

If Okonjo Iweala, a woman that had seen it all could come out to say at an American conference that the SEED OF THIS RECESSION WAS PLANTED DURING THE JONATHAN REGIME DUE TO OUR LACK OF FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE, INABILITY AND LACK OF POLITICAL WILL TO SAVE. Then Those Harshly Criticizing Buhari, Should In All Honesty, Do A Retrospective Search On Their Conscience...

Obasanjo's administration earned # 17trn [/b]from crude oil sales within eight years and left behind 45bn dollars external reserves and 3.348bn dollars external debt.

Yaradua grew the reserves to [b]64bn dollars within just one year and the administration was able to finance 15 months of imports despite the 2008/2009 world economic meltdown. Hence, Nigeria survived the melt down because of the political will by the administration to save(a great achievement by Yaradua which most Nigerians are not aware of). Despite the tough economic reality at that time, Yaradua left 47.7bn dollars in reserves and an external debt of 3.94bn dollars. Meanwhile, the administration earned only # 9trn from crude oil sales within that short period.

Now, Jonathan administration witnessed an oil boom when Brent crude sold for over 100 dollars/barrel, with the regime earning # 51trn within a period of 5years. But because of corruption, the administration did not only squander the oil revenue but even depleted the reserves left by Yaradua, leaving just 32bn dollars and a huge external debt of 63bn dollars for Buhari. The same Brent crude sold for as low as 35 dollars/barrel at a point shortly after Buhari took over power and had only managed to climb to about 48 dollars just recently.

These are facts that can be verified. So, it's amazing hearing people criticize Buhari for the hunger in the land.

According to Fashola, Buhari's administration inherited 206 uncompleted road projects and contract arrears worth #2.1trn from Jonathan; and for about 2 to 3 years the contractors where not paid. This slowed down the economic activities, with most of the companies laying off their staff. This was when the seed of recession was sowed.

It's obvious that Buhari came in to rescue Nigeria, because if Jonathan had continued in power, the nation's economic crisis would have been worse, perhaps even the Federal government wouldn't have been able to pay salaries of civil servants by now.

According to Okonjo Iweala, Nigeria started borrowing money to pay salaries since October, 2014; but today Nigeria now borrow money for investment in capital projects.

Those who blame Buhari for the current hardship do so either out of mischief (hatred) or ignorance. So, we shouldn't join the bandwagon in criticising him. [b]He may not have done much to save the situation, considering that he is not a perfect human being but he means well for the country and can only succeed with our prayers[/b].

[size=15pt]May Almighty God continue to guide Baba Buhari.
[/size]

AMEN, AMEN and AMEN.

Baba should however stop lamenting Jonathan's woes and embrace God's direction. We shall surely get out of this recession with the support of the Holy Trinity.

It is an enormous responsibility to be entrusted with the life of our president.
May God protect you and give you wisdom to diligently discharge your duties the Nation.

Long live the president and his pilot.

mekuxiani:
remember when you rain abuses on someone she did not create her self neither are you people God imagine you had a hairy daughter like this in the future what would you do would you scorn her as you did this lady leet us dig deep into our conscience some times and reason before we act

Following from your above statement, she should keep her issues to herself instead all these display. Once any issue is brought to the public domain people must share their opinion and not all the opinion would be flattering.

Queen Okafor, stop all these display.
You only succeeded in making it clear that you are concealing you obvious frustration.

You can gradually get rid of the hairs and lead a normal life rather than seeking public endorsement of the situation to enable you walk tall.

You don't seem happy over this development, WHY?

wecan:
Stop calling this people militants because they're hunters. Okorocha is a crook and evil, Nigerians will know him soon. Imo people eyes has opened

It is still the same you Sportskid that would start ranting 'harassment, marginalization' etc once she is picked up.
Remember the money is not in her account. Those in whose account the money was found have being questioned.

sportskid:
This Government has made you all dumb and myopic, of course you are not a south southerner to know that that money is not a big deal for business people. Just because she was a first lady doesn't mean she has know source of income. IF EFCC WANTS TO KNOW WHAT HARD EARNED MONEY IS, THEY SHOULD CALL HER FOR QUESTIONING, SHE SAID THE MONEY IS HERS, THEY CALL HER FOR QUESTIONING PERIOD

You should be ashamed of yourself.
So this is now a question of the Northerners trying Mama P. was she a party to the case in the first instance?
Grow out of your bigoted enclave, please

Abeymills:
Mama p notin do u jor aboki wan try u fear not mama p

While I believe that this government will eventually get us out of the woods. I think this blame of the previous government is becoming a sing song. The president should stop using every opportunity he has to talk about the failures and corruption of the past administration, we already know. He should heed the advise of the revered Bishop, roll his sleeve and go to work.

computerboy:
Exactly! If I'm a woman I'd have become an atheist long ago. Many verses in the Bible didn't favor them. I even read one verse that said they shouldn't speak in church and I'm like

It seems you choose your religion because of what you may likely gain over others and not because you believe and submit to a higher being- God. if you submit to God you will obey him even when His instruction seem adverse.

ifenes:
So what is it then? You agree the husband is the woman's master?

You got it wrong, the Husband is not master to the woman, neither is the man master to the woman.
The simple teaching is that "A husband is master to the wife" not woman. There are many men who are not husbands so also are there many women who are not wives.

you can be a woman without being a wife, but so long as you want to be "wife" you MUST accept your Husband as master".

Will we ever learn our lessons?
Our utterances are gradually preparing the ground for the mother of all genocides.
Be you Christian or Muslim leader, you seem not to know the seed you are sowing or are you intentionally leading us in this war part?

One wonders where the issues confronting us are coming from.
Every action taken is interpreted along religious line.

our Muslim Brothers should watch their actions in order not to be seen as promoting violence or dominating others.

Some of these issues need not attract the undue attention they attracted, including:-
a. Hijab issue in Osun.
b. Alleged subsidy on Haj fares through CBN.
c. visit of John Kerry to Sultan.
d. Now the issue of Sultan fixing public Holiday.

As we try to adjust our mind set back to normal after one hate generating issue, another will be popped out. Can we be allowed to love ourselves again?

I am a Catholic Christian but I doubt if CAN is right by raising dust over all these. How negatively would it affect our practice of Christianity if the opinion of the Sultan is sought before fixing an Islamic public holiday which is based on Islamic calendar?
We may choose to disagree with John Kerry but he may not be entirely wrong to praise the Sultan over his peaceful overtures. (@John Kerry, please schedule a visit to a Christian leader in Nigeria and praise him for promoting peace because in Nigeria, you must balance everything)

May be most Christian are apprehensive and interpret these developments with a pinch of salt especially in the light of Boko Haram and Herdsman incidents and events in other parts of the world. However, the leadership of CAN should know better.

Christ preached peace all through and even prevented Peter from fighting for him but I doubt if the actions & utterances of these CAN leaders over these issues represents what Christ would have done or said.

While Christianity is immutable, the principles of CAN seem to be changing depending on who is in office. CAN's principle MUST be based on 'HOW WOULD CHRIST HAVE DONE IT'

Our Muslim brothers on the other hand should desist from acts of violence except if the enjoy to associate Islam with violence.

[code][/code]ISTANDWITHPEACE

I take the whole of this story with a pinch of salt.
I doubt the possibility of police establishing rape and robbery in this case.
where did he rape her, inside the taxi, on the road, or on the floor of the bush? it is obviously not inside the house as he merely pointed at it.
How did he throw her into the gutter, dead or alive?

The story did not say whether the call girl reported the matter to the police immediately the incident happened with fresh evidence.
It is notorious fact that sex workers usually allege rape once there is argument about price.

The alleged crimes cannot be proven by simply alleging them. They require proof beyond reasonable doubt.

I however suspect that the sex worker have a highly placed police man as boy friend and has paid in kind for this job.

It is expected that the police should have done thorough investigation and not just charge a citizen punitively.
Except if they have more evidence than this as what it is stated here is simply story about the cock and the bull.

Admitted, Nigerians are passing through turbulent times.
Admitted we may not get out of this soon.

It is however very opportunistic for PDP to make such a call. Do they think our memories are that shot to remember how they plundered our common patrimony, legalized impunity, emasculated economy, maimed and killed our institutions in their 16years of misrule while brandishing shady economic statistics.

Not PDP but any other citizen or institution in Nigeria may make such call

omenkaGrazing:
I thought the military had cleared the creeks and killed 114 militants.

Oh sorry, the militants took away all the 114 bodies as stated by the army.

I don't think is is proper to make caricature of the subject matter.
The pain of fellow citizens should elicit our empathy and the efforts of security agencies should be appreciated with patriotic zeal.

The dead of a political party does not imply dead of individual members.
Just like some organizations could be rich while its members are poor.

The difference in political parties is the ideology and not the membership.

It will pay you in the long run if you put a stop to 'inverse logic'

magoo10:
Confused fellows PDP is dead and you go on recruiting more dead people or do I say zombies.
the ones that defected in the national assembly are still giving you headache and you are still receiving more ..

zombies can you tell us exactly the difference between APC and PDP

Goldencollins:
The party is ready to accommodate more PDP leaders yet you will come out and tell gullible Nigerians that PDP destroyed Nigeria for 16yrs but 95% of your members are PDP. Dirty old man

Get it into your head, it is not the people but the institution.
The members of the political parties are citizens who ordinarily desire the best. However, the lack of ideology and basic tenets of democracy distort their priorities.
the same set of people working with the right ideology provided within an institution, will act differently.

We practice party democracy.

nnachukz:
The suffering never enter their body well. Shebi they gave him 2million votes. Their suffering will be in 2million multiplier.

You ostensibly do not understand human reaction.
You still feel supporting a leader means not criticizing his actions. Unlike you that supports blindly, these guys in kano can criticize even their mother but that does not remove the love they have for her.

Last line: you are not God to determine how much they would suffer. God do not have to punish them 2million times because they voted a candidate in an election.

This statement do not have sufficient details to show that the Pastor actually committed the crime alleged.
That mere fact of housing some girls or making love to some two girls is not conclusive evidence of 'sex camping' or rape. we therefore await outcome of police investigation.

Though, fornication remains a sin before God.

However, any person that chooses to be identified as 'PASTOR' must not only keep away from evil but also avoid all occasions such evil.
The name of God is holy and MUST not be ridiculed either willfully or negligently.

FowlYansh:
I regret voting APC
I curse the day I voted for APC
I does not even knows why I allows these people to deceived me During the camp pain

Let him send the shoulders to go and bomb and bomb the oil ring and oil well and destroy the Niger Delta, prosperity will judge him!

GEJ we apologize!
You warm us but we didn't litsen

If indeed you voted this government, I think you wouldn't have started regretting so soon.
The government have so far exhibited restraint in coming out heavily against these saboteurs and now the president has given them another chance to dialogue or be severely dealt and you are regretting voting the government.

As a patriotic supporter that you were, would you advise PMB to fold his arm and watch the destruction go on?

ANewUser:
The idiot did not even speak of the killings right there in Enugu where his school is.
He should be impeached immediately.

you can write your on topic on 'The Killing in Enugu'.
The OP is not an idiot simply because he didn't write on your favorite topic.

ADVISE: if you can't write, you may hire him to write for you!!!

It is so very sad that some people are bent on causing strife in Nigeria.

While I pray they do not succeed and if they do may they reap what they sowed 1000folds
