This is silly and totally uncalled for. If indeed true, it was obviously a slip of the tongue.

If you guys are so keen on criticising, at least make it constructive.

Yes, I have some issues with some of the steps he's taken so far, but this silliness is getting out of hand.

I hope you also sounded like this when GEJ was been chastised.

After1one:


Archibong, Those guys are President of another country except Osinbanjo who is a VP. Do you want him to sit on there laps just to listen or what do you want him to do? We know the tribe that have exclusive right for houseboys in Lagos. Look in the mirror richard

You just chastised someone for bringing tribe into the discussion; only for you to end up doing exactly the same thing( you highly condemned)

Would someone be wrong if they labelled you a hypocrite??

Most of us know them as being a useful source of providing crisps, soft drinks and chocolate.

But vending machines can actually take on a very different purpose depending on where it is in the world.

Did you know that a machine in China dispenses live crabs, in an edible container and with vinegar and ginger tea?

Or that it was possible to receive a freshly baked 9-inch pizza in just three minutes?

In fact one machine in China gives you the keys to rent a car - for £2 an hour

It Cant Happen dear! That they were able to pull it off yesterday, is that Buhari, was disinterested! Trust me! With the comments of PDP, supporters and the action of Atiku! The game has changed! Buhari is now interested! Forget about the statements being released to the Public!

What would Buhari have done?
Cancel the elections?

I see what you did there.
Smart ass

luvmijeje:
Personally, if I'm one of the leader of APC, I will firstly find out whether there's is any loopholes legally in what happened yesterday. Obviously, going by the response of Mr President there isn't. Also, Saraki and those who supported him must never be invited for any party's meeting. They are moles planted in the ruling party. It must not be formally announce. I'm also expecting APC to have started planting and poaching on PDP. Most PDP's members are also unprincipled and greedy. The party must get get ready to use that against them. I've given you clues on how this will end but if you still don't understand, then you'll have to watch out.

l have considered all the points you mentioned and more; that is why I concluded that the best way forward is to find a common ground and move on.
Anything they do to Saraki will likely backfire and play into the hands of the PDP.

They can't impeach him because the APC alone does not have the 2/3 majority needed for that.
So as long as he enjoys the PDP support he is untouchable.
Though like you rightly said some PDP moles can be exploited to achieve that aim.

But even that is difficult because this was an unprecedented opportunity for PDP to stake a claim in this dispensation...it will be hard to see them scuttle this golden opportunity.

If they push him too hard, he will likely defect to PDP, together with his grassroots supporters...taking a chunk of theAPC support base with him...and that would mean majority of the North Central, given his political heavyweight.
Also if he defects, the APC automatically loses the senate presidency and control to the PDP!

If that happens then it's gonna be very difficult for PMB and the party.
Never in the history of Nigerian democracy has an incumbent president being in opposing party to the senate leadership.

Of course they can't expel him, for the reasons above.
Suspension is useless as well.Nothing will it achieve.
Anyway, let's see how they clean the mess

luvmijeje:


Chillax...... Watch out is the name of this political game.

No l want you to tell me what you think would be a good response from the APC to what transpired today.

luvmijeje:


I beg to disagree, if APC don't drag this issue then any one can decide to go against the party knowing nothing will come out of it.

Right now APC as a majority don't have a say in the upper chamber . And you expect them not to do anything knowing any failure hence forth is APC's failure.

So what are they gonna do about it??
Pray tell.

luvmijeje:


This is the more reason this issue must not be overlook. If Saraki goes away with it, the party will have set the wrong precedent. APC must not take this rubbish lying down.

Well, at this stage l don't think there is anything they can do about all this.It's too late.
They had all the time in the world to settle their differences and avoid this.

The way forward now is to accept things the way they are, and then try to mend all the other rifts within the party, to avoid similar or even worse scenarios in future.

Dragging on with this will only create more divisions and infighting, and the only people that will benefit from the disunity is PDP.

She should fire her makeup artist ASAP.

I'm only loving the lush green scenery.

misssclassy:
It seems these days people are more concerned about the method of proposal rather than what they are actually about to get into.
In my opinion, all this is totally unnecessary.

If a woman loves you and wants to spend the rest of her life with you, you don't need a parade to propose. All you just need to say is " Please Will You Marry Me" simple. And she would say yes.

Same way, If deep down she doesn't love you, and she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life with you, even if you hire the worlds greatest performers to be present as you propose, she will still say No.

l agree with you.

Besides, public proposals don't give a woman room to think about it, if her mind is not made up already.

Even if she is not interested she would be forced to say 'yes' just to save face, and spare Romeo a cataclysmic embarrassment.

To each his own, anyways.

luvmijeje:


As much as I hate PDP I'll have to agree with you. PDP and Saraki were under estimated but na starting PDP get.

A house divided against itself will not stand.
APC need to get their act together.
Internal conflict of interests will undo them if they are not very careful.

luvmijeje:
Indeed, It's pure sham...... It's unacceptable. Imagine deputy Senate President and majority Senate leader coming out from PDP. What an insult!

What sham?
I am a neutral here, but I don't see any sham in all this.
This is a perfectly planned and well executed political maneuver.
There is nothing anybody can do to reverse things

All the constitutional and legal requirements were met, especially, the presidential proclamation and the needed quorum.

They were definitely fooled, but no law was broken.
It's just smart politics!

UnknownT:
"Has the president ever spoken before? " We keep hearing Garba Shehu speak and term it the President speaking . In the last tenure, the SW was never represented and heaven didn't fall. The sooner we know all these positions benefit only the persons occupying them the better for us

You could not have put it any better, bro
Don't mind people who are ignorantly clamoring for tribal representation in politics.

How does that affect the regular Joes on the streets
That is what matters!
Obj and GEJ were there for 8 and 6 years respectively, yet the average Yoruba and Ijaw man were in no way better of than people of the other tribes during their tenures...in fact their respective kinsmen don't even speak glowingly of them.

David Mark was senate president for years, but how did the Idomas fair in his time?

The Igbos had 3 different senate presidents in one dispensation.
How did that turn out for the average Igbo man.

Do I need to ask about difference the decades- long Hausa /Fulani oligarchy has made to the average Hausa / Fulani man in the north.

It's all about bragging rights..."our son is there"
Nothing else!
Only serves those occupying the seats NOT the common man.

igbsam:


If Only people here would see that the emergence of Bukola Saraki as Senate President is a victory for President Buhari. When a party chairman comes out to say Buhari is not the party leader and that he is a mere product of the party, then this is the result. Tinubu needs to be tamed. I'm glad politics in Nigeria is now going to be very Interesting.

Meanwhile, I want to know if Senator Bukola Saraki has accepted the condition of given to him by PDP to defect back to the party after supporting him.

You just gotta love Democracy!

He rejected the proposal even before his election, according to a news medium

I hope nobody really believed this story.
They should better find whoever killed the poor woman.

Officially designated as AN602 hydrogen bomb, theTsar Bombaused the common three-stage Teller-Ulam design wherein the primary fission reaction is used to compress a secondary mixed fission/fusion fuel layer, which in turn compresses a large, tertiary thermonuclear payload—essentially stringing a pair of hydrogen fission reactions together in order to generate enough energy to instigate fusion in a uranium payload. Since the project was so rushed, only one such weapon was ever built and even then just barely. At 27 tons, it weighed nearly as much as the Tu-95that carried it and was so big that crews had to cut off the plane's bomb-bay doors in order to fit it in. Even so, at 11:32 am on October 30, 1961, theTsar Bombaexited Andrei Durnovtsev's plane at a height of 6.5 miles and slowly parachuted towards Mityushikha Bay test range in Novaya Zemlya (giving the drop plane just 188 seconds to escape). At 2.5 miles high,Big Ivanwent boom.

RESULTS

1.Gay, right, had the fillers to her face, neck and décolletage.

2.James, left, had fillers under the eyes and in his chin to define his jawline.

3.Julie, right, who DIDN'T have the treatment, says: 'Now I can't wait to have mine!'
So Amie GOT the treatment.

4.Sandra, right, had the treatment and says: 'People tell me how well I look.'

So anti-wrinkle treatment company Galderma recruited some sets of identical twins

One twin was given filler Restylane which reduces wrinkles and gives firmness

The other had no treatment - making each pair a real life "before and after"

Company claims the results are proof that the fillers subtly rejuvenate skin

Now can you really see the difference, and whether the treatment is worth it, by guessing the twin in each pair that got the treatment?

My Result: 2/4

My verdict: Not much difference (based on the pictures), and so, not worth it

Check the results in the 2nd post below.

The Twin Sets.

1.Spot the difference: Twins Gay (LEFT) and Zoe Spink, 63, are both ex-models and beauty queens

2. York-based 37-year-olds James (LEFT) and Tom Martin are virtually identical in every way - but only one has had plastic surgery

3.: Dance teachers and keep-fit fans Amie(LEFT) and Julie Curtis, both 33, look similar, but only one had had filler injections

4. Kent sisters Diana (LEFT) and Sandra Horner, 46, look virtually identical

PREAMBLE

Big Ivan, better known as Tsar Bomba, was 57 Megatons of Soviet might.
That's 1,400 times Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined and 10 times the entire combined fire power expended in WWII.
In one bomb. One explosion. And, incredibly, that's only half of what it could have done.

In July 1961, Nikita Khrushchev, First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (and leader of the USSR) decided that he had had enough of the unspoken nuclear testing moratorium that his country, the US, and the UK had been abiding by since 1958.

The 22nd Congress of the Communist Party would convene that October, providing the perfect venue to show off the USSR's military muscle. With the world's eyes on Moscow, what better way to show the West who was boss than with a "testing spectacular" setting off the largest man-made explosion of all time?

Problem was, they didn't have a bomb nearly big enough for Khrushchev.
Up to that point, the largest hydrogen bomb the Soviets had detonated was the puny 3 MT RDS-37 (albeit the first true hydrogen bomb they built) but Khrushchev demanded something much, much bigger—enough to make America's 15 MT Castle Bravo testin 1954 wilt. And he wanted it built in time for the Congress.

And since telling Nikita Khrushchev "no" simply didn't happen, a four man development team—Victor Adamskii, Yuri Babaev, Yuri Smirnov, and Yuri Trutnev—designed and simultaneously built the 24-foot long, three-stage thermonuclear device in just 15 weeks.

[b][size=13pt]the story of christ is filled with ancient lies and so are the stories of all other prophets and gods,be he christ, mohammed, budda, shango etc.i dont know how a people of this modern age can still belive this fairy tale stories just becus it was brought to us by the whites.....every religion claims to be the truth and god says he loves us and we must love him back and if we dont, he will put us in hell, i always wonder which kind of love that is and i know only a blood thirsty villan would act like that.

Of all the gods in the world, that of the bible is the most stupid, mad and deranged and i sincerly will never accept him, if salvation is only gotten through him,i choose to go to hell rather than be a slave to such a wicked beast

A beast that would send a bear to eat 52 children for laughing at a bald elijah.
A beast that would drown a whole world that he claim to love and made in his image
A beast that would sanction the massacre rape and murder of women and children by moses.
A beast who build the most horrifying torture chamber to torture those he claim to love because they couldnt belive in him.
A beast that tolorated slavery.
A beast that watched jephtah sacrify his daughter to him as his promise if he wins a war.
A beast that watched the sacrifing of his only begotten son so that he could forgive man by grace.
A beast that watch over all the suffering of the world and does nothing to ameliorate it

I refuse to worship you, you ethernal beast and vile creator, no wonder other angel supported satan in his bid to overthrow you despotic ass........i have chosen my side if the armagadon is ever true....i will ride with lucifer on that day against you army and this time i know we will succeed and put you in the bottomless pit that you created for your beloved ones[/b]s.[/size][/b]

just curious.
Do you believe there is a real entity called Satan / Lucifer?

Does anybody really believe any of this??
This woman can leave the country any time she wishes, as the president has refuted any claims of imposing travel bans on some former government officials.
l don't know why the whole press has been hunting her.
She is just one of the many corrupt officials in the previous dispensation.
Nobody hears about the other corrupt ex-ministers, lawmakers etc.
l am not supporting her, as l strongly believe in justice for the guilty (if she is convicted by the courts)
l am only wondering why we hear only about her when she is but one of many corrupt ex - officials

After all corruption is corruption.
None is greater than the other.
