I never knew she was a lawyer

Do you mean before or after speakership?

RichBoy247:
Idiots will never be sensible. General Lekwot has a history of violence and arms running. He was sentenced to death for his last escapes but, God just gave him another chance. Unfortunately, it seems he is still unrepentant.

I guess it takes one idiot to recognize another. Gen. Zamani Lekwot was never an arms runner. He was alleged to be connected with solid resistance Ndigbo stood up in 1992 riot in northern region in general and Zango Kataf, Kaduan in particular. If there is anybody from the northern region worthy of leading Nigeria, I say Zamani Lekwot is the person. I remembered when he was a Lt. Col. and commander of the 12th Brigade, 3MCDO of Nigerian army in Aba. He severally adjugated the minor fights between my high school and members of the battalion that camped on the high school. I was also happy to have been involved with the ominous warning to Nigerian government that if it carries out the execution of Zamani Lekwot, Nigeria will cease to exist.

Patricia Etteh Turns 67 Today


Patricia Olubunmi Foluke Etteh (born 17 August, 1953) was the Speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives from June until October 2007.

Etteh, a Yoruba, was born on 17 August, 1953. She trained as a hairdresser and beauty therapist, but she also earned a law degree from the University of Bukingham in the United Kingdom and called to the Nigerian Bar in 2016.

Political career

Etteh represents the Ayedaade/Isokan/Irewole constituency in Osun State. She was initially elected in 1999 as an Alliance for Democracy (AD) [/b]member, but switched to the People's Democratic Party (PDP) [b]when running for re-election in 2003. She was elected to the position of speaker unanimously in June 2007, and is the only woman to have held this position in the Nigerian government.

In September 2007, she faced a committee of MPs over accusations that she had authorised the spending of 628 million Naira (about US$5 million) on renovations of her official residence and that of her deputy, and the purchase of 12 official cars meant for the House of Representatives.

Accusations of theft were chanted at her as she tried to speak in the House, and she was escorted out by security as the situation degenerated into a commotion, though she has not been officially indicted.

The PDP officially continued to back Etteh, although some members, such as Isyaku Ibrahim, criticised this stance. Author and academic Wole Soyinka was among those who called for her resignation, while former President and PDP member Olusegun Obasanjo continued to support her. On 30 October, following weeks of pressure, Etteh resigned her position as speaker. Her deputy, Babangida Nguroje, also resigned. However at the last seating of the 6th session House of Representatives, it was agreed that "There is no record or proceedings of the House where Patricia Olubunmi Etteh was ever indicted".

The bolded instances on the above post left me with mild thoughts. A speaker of Nigerian house of representative!!!!

Igbos should learn how to respect the laws of the place they dwell

I suggest you shut your putrid mouth. Is the so-called law also applicable to Ghanaians? Where was the mention of Igbo in the saga? You are one of the bloody reasons Nigeria is a joke. Without junks such as you, Nigeria would have been a basket of virtues.

EmagNig:
Ghanaian authorities have stated the reason who some shops belonging to Nigerian traders in the country were locked up over the weekend.

In an interview with Starr News, Boakye Boateng, the head of communications in the country’s trade ministry said it would be unfair for the Nigerian traders to complain of insensitivity.

He further alleged that the traders were pardoned for over a year following the intervention of President Nana Akufo-Addo.
Boateng said;



https://lailasnews.com/why-we-locked-up-shops-of-some-nigerian-traders-ghanaian-authorities/

“It cannot be that we’ve been insensitive. If that is what they’re saying, I’ll be disappointed because I’ll rather say they have rather been unfair to us as a regulatory body because we have given them more time than enough to the extent even the Ghanaians thought that the ministry was not on their side or the ministry wasn’t ready to even enforce law.

“So, it’s very surprising to me for them to say that we’ve not given them enough time. If you recall as far back as December last year, these shops were locked, the president intervened and we asked that the shops be re-opened because the very law that gives GUTA the right to be the sole traders in our market, that same law requires that a certain group of people are those who can go and do law enforcement and not you, so allow us to do our work.

“They complied, the shops were opened. Since then we have given them an opportunity to regularise the document and submit it to us for verification, that has not been done. Now, this exercise started from Abossey-Okai on Monday. Because we have never been to Abossey-Okai for this exercise, when we went there we did not just start locking shops. We went there, we inspected the shops and we gave them notices that in 14-days they should ensure that all their necessary documentations be complete. These people have been served notices for over a year now.”

This is arrant nonsense that can be conjured by idiotic Africans. This law is very discriminatory and Ghana as a country should not be allowed to get away with it. If this draconian law came out of RSA during Botha regime, the moronic Ghanaians would have been shouting apartheid. Can Ghana cough out $1 million for anything talk less of petty traders. Africans should treat Ghana citizens in the same manner they treated Africans in Ghana. I had a plan to invest in Tema, Ghana, now it is on hold.

Those who responded to the post or thread in adversarial mode are the so-called southerners who had succumbed to the propaganda of northern region elites. The dude did not speak in terms of literal connotation but metaphorical. Only a dumbass fool will think otherwise when kids from Jigawa jet around the world in pristine Egyptian cotton dresses while kids from the so-called Niger Delta region soil in spilled crude oil to make dinner a thing of reality.

So this pornstaar is still trying all means to be relevant?.. But why can't he just come down to his father land at least for one day?

I guess it takes one pornstaar to recognize another.

Twinmama:
Restructure this damn nation and let's do regional government, each region can choose a f**k in g f**l they want .period!

The term, restructure, as associated with Nigeria is a pure lazy man's apology. I pray for total and unconditional disintegration.

CheGuevara101:
You're definitely on motion to end up wretched like your ancestors.

This is the same thing they did during their time and now you're replicating it with reckless abandon.

Only a delusional fool does not realize time changes. I guess your ancestors would have fought on the side of Jihadists with current prevailing circumstances in Nigeria.

Simplyleo:
Even me, I urge them to fight for it.

The whole concept of "we should be given" is nothing but a heap of dogshit, it is an imposicant.

Moreover, I don't think pdp will deny them the opportunity to contest on its platform in view of the fact that they have been visibly loyal to the party for over 2 decades.

I'm done talking.

Any reasonable Igbo chap should not even dream of Nigerian presidency talk less fight for it. Ndigbo should rather seek the means to disintegrate the shithole than fight the presidency. Nigeria does not have the trappings of nation talk less a country. It is only in the shithole called Nigeria where the leadership does not refer to the people as Nigerians but my people from the north when engaged in a verbal exercise.

Bialegend:
Through both guarded and porous borders. Government and civilian illegal goods are crossed daily into the zoo through various porous borders in the north and none of you know about this. Reason why they closed southern borders in the zoo. All the zombies and sabo nti ike's are in for a good ride this time.

The pending and total annihilation of southern and central Nigeria should be blamed on the Yari.ba and few so-called minorities whose abode rests in these regions. The southern Nigerians have been so consumed with the unfounded fear of the Ndigbo hence overlooked the most serious threat of their mere existence on earth. It was smack of irresponsibility on the part of Goodluck Jonathan to implement the caging of southern borders of Nigeria including the idiotic installation of scanning machines at the Nigerian seaports. While the southern borders were caged, the northern borders were left wide open for terrorists and Jihadists to import ammunitions of any brand into the country including mercenaries who are Jihadists too.

Abohboy:
Why do,people think that creating more ports will destroy Lagos[b]. Lagos is building a free trade zone along with a refinery and ultimately it is still the financial and commercial hub of the nation. Unless another state puts up infrastructure at par to lagos’s then no company will move their headquarters there, that’s not how business works, sadly. This is good news I’ve been waiting for this as well, seeing that onne port is currently being expanded to handle more vessels and cargo. First pic is onne when completed, second pic is progress on Lekki port. All from skyscrapercity. I’ll update those threads as often as I can.

In the figment of your imagination, you concluded that Lagos State built itself to the current level. Most Nigerians have issue with retentive memory.

Military airstrike hits bandits’ camp, kills scores in Kaduna forest

The Air Component of Operation Thunder Strike, has neutralised several armed bandits at their camp in the Kuduru forest area of Kaduna State, according the Defence Headquarters.

The Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. John Enenche, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.

Enenche said the air strikes were carried out on Aug. 13 on the heels of intelligence reports, indicating the convergence of members of Ansaru terrorist sect-linked bandits, led by one Mallam Abba, at the location.

He said that an aerial surveillance mission conducted over the area also observed several bandits, with some wielding weapons in the forest.

According to him, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) jets and helicopter gunships were therefore tasked to attack the location.

“Several of the bandits were killed as the attack aircraft strafed the area, while others attempting to escape were mopped-up in follow-on attacks,” he said.

If the above crap is remotely correct, it is safe say that the present government of Nigeria is worst government which have ever govern the shithole called Nigeria. Did I read military air raid against the citizens of Nigeria regardless what the government tagged them? Nigeria has the combination of Army, Air force, Navy, Police, DSS, Customs and Civil Defense Corps that root out the hooligans and destroy them without the air raid.

Ref: In bold;

If me and other people from Orlu area watch or cause FUTO, FERCOLAT, POLYTECHNICNEKEDE, IMSU, AIFCE located all in Orlu area, no consideration for Owerri and Okigwe areas,
I and the others from Orlu causing or watching the locations must be hate-filled people against people in Owerri and Okigwe areas of Imo state.

Owerri has fought every government which tried to remove IMSU from Owerri to another zone which has nothing.

If you are not a buffoon, explain which group hates others in Imo state.

We can only know the buffoon in this scenario if Orlu becomes the capital of a state and overlooked while all the developments are centered in its sister towns.

SmartPolician:
[b]Please specify the government because the government successfully runs businesses in Saudi Arabia, China, India, [/b]etc.

That something does not work in Nigeria (because of our greed, lackadaisical attitude, and affinity to stealing public funds) does not mean that it doesn't work elsewhere in the world.

Governments are not suited to operate all forms of businesses. It is only in authoritarian governments such as communists or socialists that all businesses are controlled by the government. However government run certain corporations in a none communist or socialist government.

Obojo Community, Niger-Delta

You seemed to have started intelligently and suddenly remembered you were a Nigerian. Niger Delta is not State in Nigeria. Obojo community in what state of Nigeria?

You free to relocate to those countries. Nonsense.

Criticisms are not meant to be taken with silly anger. Issue is how to improve Nigeria not silly respond to a critique.

Babajide Ogunsanwo, Channels television data analyst said Yobe state alone is bigger than all the five states in the South East combined..
That means Yobe is bigger than Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo.

Is the South East that small?

It is certain that Yari.ba peeps are having sleepless night over SE.

The above regulations are antihuman and specifically anti-immigrants. The regulations are simply draconian. These freaking Ghanaians cannot survive a day if other Africans state stood up such laws against Ghana as a country. Where are the doctrines of ECOWA? These retrogressive policy and Ghanaian government should be hold accountable for this inhumanity against fellow Africans. What a shame.

Nigerians and their manner thought process leave much to be desired. There was no mention of great countries in the post. Yet the above poster decided to add great into the matter. This is manner in which ill-informed Nigerians tell their friends how JAMB was smashed by them only to be marked down by one tribal jingoist in JAMB's office.

You always seem to sit sound historic facts about Nigeria on their heads. Home of rice farming in Nigeria is Abakaliki which produced the adjudged best rice in the World.

United Africa my foot!!!! The worst human beings created on earth are anything African.

Kelly Brooks is the woman with the most perfect body shape in the world. The 40 year old is an English model, actress and media personality.


Researchers at the University of Texas have concluded that Kelly Brooks with a height of 1.68m and body measurement of 38-24-35 is the ideal body shape of a woman.

According to the researchers report she is; "completely natural and scientifically perfect". Though it is a well known truth that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, science says perfection can be counted.

Here are some of her pictures:

The bolded are complete rubbish. The face is even ideal talk less of the chest. There are female body statistics put the above crap to the trash. The bloody Europeans always feel like putting everybody to sleep with their silly conjectures.

"I Will Never Forgive Buhari For Killing My Brother’ - Nkem Owoh


Nollywood actor, Nkem Owoh has spoken about a very painful subject regarding the death of his younger brother Bartholomew Owoh. Bartholomew Owoh was one of the three young Nigerians executed by General Buhari for an offence that allegedly did not carry the death penalty. Bernard Ogedengbe (29), Bartholomew Owoh (26) and Lawal Ojuolape (30) were publicly executed by General Buhari


According to a source close to the Nollywood actor who spoke with Breaking Times, Nkem Owoh and the rest of his family have not recovered from the trauma of the cold-blooded killing of the three young men, particularly their brother and son, Bartholomew Owoh.


The laws of Nigeria at the time the offence was committed did not prescribe the death penalty. When Buhari took over power, he insisted the young men should be executed and they were killed publicly by the firing squad.


According to the source, “Nkem Owoh and his family have not forgiven Buhari for killing their brother at the young age of 26.

Every time Nkem Owoh sees Buhari on TV, he weeps bitterly over his brother. He can’t even believe that Buhari has the nerve to seek re-election as President”. Bartholomew Owoh and others were allegedly arrested for peddling cocaine and convicted for that crime.


A little intro of the comic veteran actor: 

He was born in October 1958, in Amagu Village, Udi town, Enugu state, Nigeria, and is now 58 years old. When he finished his primary and secondary education, he got admitted to the University of Ilorin to study for a B.Eng in Electrical Engineering. While in the University, he started his acting career. He was also a newscaster in the NTA network news Enugu, during the early 80s.


He has acted hundreds of Movies like Things Fall Apart back in 1987 (This is one of his first major movies. He starred this movie alongside the veteran actor, Pete Edochie), Ukwa, back in the year 2000 (This movie gave him the popular nickname “Ukwa”). The movie is about a funny village man Ukwa who travels to the city to meet his rich elder brother, and gets shocked when he is made an ordinary driver. This movie is packed with lots of interesting scenes.

This silly lamentation is what sets Americans and Europeans apart from Africans. The Americans or Europeans would have found means to eliminate Buhari either as soldier or civilian. Anyway, the execution of the three boys would not have happened either in Europe or America.

pendy79:
People don't read but are just fascinated by the title of a post even if it was the newspaper trying to colour statements to gather more appeal to buyers.

Buhari has no sole powers to query activities of junior officers in a successful coup attempt. He control no troops and he has no option since the populace where in total support of the coup.

It will be a suicide attempt for the military chief in burkina faso to try force the president to remain in power with the popular rage of the people despite his closeness to the president .

People should get acquainted with the military command during a military coup, you either support the winning side and live or you die fighting it. Shagari was already out before buhari was contacted in faraway jos.

This interview goes beyond the babangida issue and people should read and not just take the title and be judgemental. Babangida is the army chief and equally the arrowhead of the shagari overthrow. Buhari knows he has no loyal troop in lagos since he didn't command troops in lagos so he knows if the same cabal wants him out he has no powers to stop them knowing how grounded they are.

Bro there are tons of differences between the phrases such as "Before the coup", "During the coup" and "After the coup". The C-in-C has pure raw power to control coup before it takes place unless a delusional C-in-C such as Ironsi. Also, the C-in-C has considerable powers to direct events after the coup. The bolded can only be mildly true if Buhari was not a member of inner circle that instigated the successful coup attempt or he was simply a figure head.
