Nigeria was created by slave traders, to accommodate their conquered slaves.

SOUNDKING:

Sharrap

Why do you Yorubish like giving yourselves too much credit? Tinubu did not singlehandely deliver the presidency to Buhari.

The Southwest votes are there for all to see, the margin was tight in the Southwest with Ekiti going to PDP.

Buhari's emergence is largely due to Jega's shenegains in PVC distribution and also due to Ab0kis vote patterns in the north.

Very soon you ediots will soon claim you invented democracy.

This is a government of receiving foreign dignitaries and hiding in government House. We thought they said Buhari will hit the ground running. Abi na the ground hit am running?


Electing an old man who is not in touch with reality is the biggest political mistake we have made. I hope I am wrong.

People are being slaughtered in the north east and Plateau daily. Appointments have not been made for a smooth start of government and its machineries. Assets have not been publicly declared as promised. I don't know why this government remind me of the Yar'adua government with its cluelessness and slow movement.

SOUNDKING:
idowu, please no body is saying buhari should not be your president he can even be your God for all we care.....God bless Biafra.

The poster above me na real 419.... stole my land




As for declaration of assets. I beleive that after some time (verification & documentation), the freedom of information bill already in law would allow Nigerians to request for that information and it MUST be made available for all to know.



Failure to release those documents would among to breach of law and a case in court...

Carlos Henriques, FIFA Referee Development Officer, has called on Nigerian referees to forget about World Cup officiating ambition for now.

Henriques gave the advice in an interview with NAN in Abuja on Friday.

He advised them to concentrate more on how to secure the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) slots.

Henriques said that the Nigerian referees needed all the support they could get to earn a World Cup slot.

“I think before you start thinking of the World Cup, you have to start thinking of the Africa Cup of Nations.

“Let’s start working, thinking to produce referees to represent Nigeria at the continental competitions; that is our main goal.

“After they start, and be part of the continental of referees, definitely the chances are there for the World Cup.

“They have to wake up like everyone else; everybody has a chance, provided they work hard. They have to work hard, and working hard is not just going out there and work hard.

“They have to work hard in all fields, especially in achieving a high level of fitness as well as the way they manage and approach players.

“So, this is all part of training that the referee has to be subjected to; it’s not easy to be a referee.”

According to him, there are no much challenges that will stop Nigerian referees from achieving this target since they have a very good team of referees’ instructors in the country.

He said that the calibre of CAF and NFA referee instructor like Linus Mba, could give the referees all they needed to excel in the job.

NAN reports that Henriques, Lim Kee-Chong from Mauritius, a former FIFA referee, and Mark Ephraim Nzengo from Malawi, are the FIFA instructors at the ongoing “FIFA Member Association Elite Referees Course”.

The course, which began on May 25 in Abuja, would end on May 29.

Nigerians yesterday reacted to the President Muhammadu Buhari’s inaugural speech.
Fani-Kayode: ‘’I believe his part of non vendetta will be true, all Nigerians should join hands to see Nigeria move forward.

“I believe it was a promising speech and sincerely hope that he is true to what he has said especially on the issue that he will not be on a vendetta mission. I hope he is saying the right thing; hope his words will be proved to be truth.

“It is incumbent upon all of us as politicians to ensure that the next four years go on smoothly. I trust that all will be well and the country will move forward.”

Iyom Josephine Anenih


Pioneer National Woman leader of the PDP and former Minister of Women Affairs and delegate to the 2014 National Conference.

“I like President Muhamadu Buhari’s speech. He was very kind to former President Jonathan by acknowledging the role he played in keeping Nigeria one and united. His avowed blueprint when implemented will definitely spell a positive Change for this country. His speech was very states manly. Very reassuring to the nation.”

The Director- General, Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF, Asishana Okauru

“ the speech is very encouraging. It has a lot of accommodation in it between the federal government and the states in moving the country forward and the NGF will be ready to participate fully. “

Festus Okoye: Executive Director, Human Rights Monitor and member of the 2014 National Conference:

“The speech lifted the spirit of despair and fatalistic resignation that enveloped Nigeria in the last few years. It was both inspirational and uplifting. He clearly mapped out his navigational chart and direction. His pledge to be for all and for none is a clear indication that he will run a just and fair administration.”

HDP asks Buhari to probe Adoke, EFCC
The Presidential candidate of Hope Democratic Party, HDP.

The immediate past AGF, Mohammed Adoke, SAN, sabotaged the trial of some members of the the “cabal” behind the oil subsidy scam, which occasioned untold hardship on Nigerians within the past two months.

“Our position remains that the Attorney General of the Federation and other such Ministers, and the EFCC, who played a major role in the connivance and encouraging the fuel subsidy scam, should be probed to recover trillions of naira belonging to Nigerians now in their possession.

“We demand that the government of Buhari must do this to earn the respect and confidence of Nigerians and the international community and to assuage the embarrassment the government officials have caused the entire nation and the suffering people of Nigeria.”
