Nigerians have infact accepted Amaechi as the hero of the present Change...the ineffectual bufoon reafused to stop the theft of our commonwealth, amaechi simply informed us,and we did the needful, so all wailers on tge front page should realise that if such ever happens again,we will do the same thing again and again...Jonathan was a mistake that happened...never again will we allow such corruption in the pretence of humility.

paschu:
treason
ˈtriːz(ə)n
noun
the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill or overthrow the sovereign or government.

"they were convicted of treason"

synonyms: treachery, lese-majesty;
the action of betraying someone or something.

How does this definition apply to the issue of leaking covered theft...
Dude, Gej covered the theft of national funds, a letter was written and was never replied or acted upon...his treachery to the country was eventually exposed;and you call that treason...kindly stop reading upside down. And understand before typing.

paschu:
The letter was written to the president by the central bank governor for verification. But a stupid man who did not know the difference between patriotism and treason leaked the letter to foreigners without even bothering to confirm from the presidency or find out if NNPC actually have a constitutional right to withhold funds from the federation account.

If you cannot see how dumb amaechi really was on this issue, then a village bingo sure have more hope than you do.

To show you how silly the guy really was, the figure in that letter was later changed twice making it three conflicting figures on one report. That's just the same way three contrary figures were given early this year (under the new sheriff) on yet another NNPC non-remitance palava.

Mr man,stop spewing fallacies here.. kindly go back and listen to sanusis interview to know why the letter was written, before wrongly insinuating it was written for 'verification'.

Amaechi my hero....

skibiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

She did it to Wizkid and heaven did not fall!
You will only end up cowardly apologizing like your Demi-god overgrown baby cum wizdaft

Linda can you kindly show us any evidence of him apologising.
wizzy is just a smart yoruba boy,preying on you fake ego(as fake as your bag),
you just made your whole blog a whole lot more boring.
your hands are tied now,as it is obvious you have only being able to post positive things about celebrities since #wizigate#
blame your shitty advisers darl, and did i mention you dont even know what it means to be a real female activist.
kindly run along sweetie, and pls dont forget to grab your fake ass(sorry bag) on the way out.

Mack3N:
You guyz are just bunch of yoruba losers!
You hypocritically complain she's not married,and when she uploads a pic showing hers curves that she still gat it,you say she is seeking attention!

This is how your insatiable quest for Linda hatred would have landed Wizkid a very serious lawsuit because of your baseless and open endorsement of disrespect!

I knew right from time that it was only the yorubas that were hating on her,(as if yoruba girls are any neater!).

Pls,Linda is not a dirty valueless yoruba girl who can settle for 5th/6th wife when pressure is on her,she is of class,and will if she chooses to,not when you want!

Linda is that you?
please you need to stop taking out this your frustration on the yorubas.
kindly face sesan and wizkid.
meanwhile,we are waiting for you to post negative comments on ANY CELEBRITY again.
. Then you will understand the meaning of '20 men shall fall that day'

#Say no to cyberbullying #

mej67:
Basically, this is making Linda more popular

There are two types of popularity...good and bad popularity...in business..image is key.. dig that!

the fact that linda owns a blog does not make her a journalist...there is nothing professional about what she does,hence she cannot be given the same treatment with a journalist. i will recommend she goes to a school of journalism first and also try to be a bit less biased with her reporting style, then she is free to meddle with people's private lives.Meanwhile ,in an advanced country also,wizzy could also slam her with a case of defamation that she would never recover from just as much as she is claiming violence against women. in conclusion,both parties were guilty, they should kindly get a room and do the needful and leave us in peace.
N.B; is it only me ,or has anyone also noticed linda has stopped delving into people's private lives lately...never knew she could do that all the while...thanks to wizzy for restoring her brain to factory-settings, afterall what is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

No wonder why PMB never replied him once...Fayose na Baba nla clown!

TANTUMERGO007:
fayose is greater that awolowo and tinubu put together

Questions that need to be clarified.

1. Why didnt the NASS address the issue while it was on the floor (i.e while Amaechi allegedly defended the amended budget).?

2. Was any of the sums intended for the lagos-calabar rail removed and added to the kano rail project?

All i see here is NASS playing with our collective intelligence as a nation.(based on the loop that amaechi ammended the budget with the knowledge of the presidency)
So its ok for a minister to defend a budget,while you keep silent on its invalidity, only for you to divert those 'invalid' funds to other projects.
Chai!!!

Flyingngel:
The questions are (1) Did Ameachi not submit d proposal as addendum? (2) Did national assembly shift some amount to d kano rail. (3) Is it late to include d proposed item in d appropriation bill? Question!

1.Yes (he did)
2. Yes (they did)
3. Yes (for now)

AntiWailer:
So Amaechi defended what was not in the budget and you never knew ?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxFxC8sM2Gg


They claimed, Amaechi never defended any budget..

Oh sorry, you were busy tweeting for the ignorant wailers to feed on.

Have you watched the video in the link you provided? I will assume you couldn't afford the data to do so, as there is nowhere in this video that amaechi defended any rail project, kindly post a correct link or I might have to side with the wailers on this. thank you.

DropShot:
PMB words were as follow:
"Did you know he has two passports?"
"Do you know he came into this country without using any of the two passports?"

Tell us your own version pls.

I dont know if your ignorance is simply because you have never travelled out of Nigeria or because you have never been to an airport before. Or else,you would have known that Even if he came into Nigeria with 1000 passports ,as long as none bears the Nigerian inmigration stamp(or a biafran stamp ),then you cane in illegally,except maybe he tore the stamped page and swallowed it sha.

While this can be termed an improvement...neither PMB or GEJ deserves to recieve the accolades for this award,external corporations such as GAVI, bill & Melinda Gates foundation pay for the vaccines.
Moreover ,there are only 3 countries in the whole world still battling with polio in the 21st century. (Nigeria,Afghanista and pakistan), even india succeeded in eradicating it.
While it can be said to be a good feat for the country,it is also a slow feat.

Another thread designed to make cause a rift between hausas and yorubas....but simply dead on arrival...wont be surprised if that young boy on a colostomy bag's condition was totally medical (eg crohns disease) and unrelated to the mile 12 crises.

I'm not an Economics Guru,but it doesn't take Rocket Science to know that a single individual cannot control the forex market...It used to be the CBN rates that controlled the parallel markets,now the parallel markets are trying to control the CBN rates...the backlash of CBN hoarding the dollars. Trying times, but we will get through this..#say no to devaluation#

GEJ would have cluelessly devalued the naira,I stand with GMB
