Gbawe:
Did those even tougher and more influential than you not make worse threats than this before the election? If I recall correctly they threatened to "ground" and "destroy" Nigeria if GEJ did not get a second term. What is the reality today? No one takes you lot seriously any more. Least of all not Buhari and he is showing this everyday by acting rather than talking emptily as you and your fellow braggarts are fond of doing.

oluamid:
I understand the need to brag that he his untouchable and all. However, let me tell you some home truths.


The reason the Niger Delta agitations were previously successful is simple. They won the sympathy of other Nigerians, ie, other Nigerians were even fighting the FG on their behalf cos of the atrocities that were committed in the ND in the name of extracting oil.


However, that public goodwill is no longer there since Nigerians now know that the militants were only doing it for the money they can get in their accounts. Start another militancy and most Nigerians will demonize them giving the military the excuse they need to actually deal with the menace once and for all. I'll have you know that the people who will suffer at the end of the day will be ordinary Niger-Deltans who would become IDPs just like what is going on in the North East today.

Tompolo may seem untouchable today, but I assure you, he's not above the Nigerian constitution. All that is required is for the DSS to be interested in his case and he's as good as being behind bars. All this braggadocio is stunt pulling. Don't be fooled.


The question we should ask him is if truly there is any truth in what he's being accused of and not this deflecting to APC ish.

If you have nothing to hide I don't see why you can't answer EFCC invitation instead of claiming to be the Lord of the Manor.


PS: Please stop mentioning Buhari in the same sentence with Tompolo. Buhari is the President of Nigeria and that office demands every iota of respect. Please what position does mr Government hold?

ibnjarir93:
Buhari only asked the CBN to perform its function as the "lender of last resort."Or don't you know that the bail-out fund was given as a loan?

PassingShot:
You illiterates keep regurgitating the same line over and over as if whatever you're spewing is correct.

FYI, a part of the bail out money was meant to be shared by all federating states and the other part is a loan from CBN to be paid back at low interest. Please get enlightened.

adeyak83:
Though you are right, but bailout fund was released officially and it been announced by fg infact evrybody is aware of it, its almost accepted by 70% of Nigerians and stakeholders, paid with cheque and other laid down proceedures, but who knew about $2b or talk about it before it been released to d h@tless man, Dasuki werey? except d wereycious benefactors.

kokumo1949:
Bail out are loans given to state govt and repayment spread over a longer period . Get this clear.

EdCure:
The Buhari bail-out funds (which was a loan) was publicised, the amount known and the purpose understood.
Can the same be said about the Jonathan/Okonjo/Emefiele licentous withdrawals?

GspotAngela:
Last Year, soldiers from the 176 Special Forces Battalion, the special operations element of the Brigade of Guards, killed three of Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky's son. Few weeks ago, Boko Haram insurgents detonated a suicide bomb during their procession, killing several memebers of the Islamic Movement.

Let it be known, that the Shi'a in Nigeria have been victim of government and insurgent repression from the days of the regime of late General Sani Abacha. Today, they have been extra judicially killed again by the NA under a flimsy excuse of an attempted assasination of the COAS

The major violent clash the shi'a were involved in was between them and Izala Moslems in Nigeria few years ago which was precipitated by Shi'a practise of cursing Aisha(RA) and the companions of the Prophet(SWA), a practise that has been condemned by the Supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Sayyid Khomeni, in one of his fatwas.

MarvelJ:
Yes they did and you cant do anything about it. If you re nt a shiite then keep quiet n respect yourself.

martineverest:
it seems to don't know that Niger delta is behind buhari... Even if Jonathan is attested nothing will happen.. Clark would have been the only untouchable man in Niger delta; he's in support of buhari's campaign.... Even if asari is arrested nothing will happen as far as buhari is fair in his dealings. We Niger deltans are behind buhari

midolian:
Tell your tompolo to stop running, let us see if he is really as powerful as you say.

And maybe u need to be reminded that this is not a clueless administration

redsconsult:
he is promoting the social vibes of the state. but am totlally against the gate fee

arresa:
How do you knock a e economic and revenue generating activity based on economic concerns.?


Festivals stimulates the economy? Money is going to change hands, hotels are going to make money and pay taxes to the state, food vendors are going to make and spend money, advertisers, technicians and so on are going to make money and pay taxes....

Too many shallow and shortsighted people in government.

redsconsult:
its not a jamboree. just letting them enjoy social life and also note that all works without play make jack a dull boy....

Aufbauh:
Attention:
PDP and their supporters especially this Chukwudi44 of a man has lost their senses and need the attention of a psychiatrist before it get out of hands.
How can you support the fight against corruption and at the same time opposed the arrest of an alleged corrupt persons?.. Classical insanity!
@Chukwudi44 if you don't change your mentality you may develop a high blood pressure because of hatred and bitterness before 2019.
Be well guided!

@snailspeed
The Nigerian educational system is bad, but it isn't as bad as we might want to paint it. The irony of the matter you raised and your accusations of the other lad is that you aren't actually as smart as you think you are. Next time, you should slow down on the insults and seek for understanding before you proceed to attack people's intelligence and expose your own ignorance.

Now to the topic, Channels TV obviously did not present the results in a clear enough manner for people who aren't too intelligent to understand, so neither you nor the people you insulted can be blamed here. Now a little explanation:

Total Valid Votes = 459,983
Total Rejected Votes = 21,351
Total Votes Cast = [Valid Votes] + [Rejected Votes] = 481,334

After elections, results in some areas were cancelled...
Total Cancelled Votes = 49,953

Now this 49,953 cancelled votes are a part of the Total Valid Votes (481,334). So using simple arithmetic approach, we should be subtracting the 49,953 from the Total Valid Votes and not adding it to arrive at 531,287 (like Channels TV has done). I hope I am clear enough?
