Saraki as Senate President is a terrible idea. Corruption will surely thrive in our legislative arm of govt. The fight against corruption by Buhari will be frustrated.

jorlons:
@Op, again tell Bukola Saraki that his last minute attempt on damage control is dead on arrival. We believe he said those trash and there's nothing he will do or say that will make us believe otherwise.

Lol. Don't mind that Saraki. I hope he doesn't somehow ascend to the post of Sen. Pres. If not, there won't be much progress in our legislative arm of govt. He would also frustrate and hamper the fight against corruption by Buhari, since he is corrupt himself. I prefer Lawan because I think he will do a better job.

Ok

Dannyset:
PDP laptop boys have started again.

Don't mind them. I'm counting PDP's propaganda machines. Savinggrace, thetrentonline, breakingtimes are some of the already established ones. Now we can add this one to the list.

Lol

One of the reasons why i don't want Saraki to be Sen. Pres. is because he would frustrate Buhari's effort in trying to fight corruption, and that is something that must be prevented.

Lol.. this is hilarious.

Breakingtimes and thetrentonline are both PDP propaganda machines. We are watching them closely.

If i recall correctly, the revival of Ajaokuta steel company is among the numerous promises Buhari made. if you check the comprehensive list posted by Vanguard, you should find it there.

As an Ebira man, i'd love to see it brought back to life, and utilized to its full potentials. the promises such an industry holds is endless. Like the OP mentioned, it would also help in creating a whole lot of jobs.

Saraki and Dogara aren't serious.

cijay30:
The way people lie eh. No be city gate be dat? How can you miss your flight when you are going into Abuja city? Be truthful and allow others thrive

You are the only sensible person on this thread. Good observation, by the way. The OP is definitely lying. The picture by the OP, shows that he was headed into Abuja, not going to the airport. Now, for all we know, he may even be lying about the holdup being caused by Buhari's convoy. maybe it was caused by some accident, or something else. Those who live in Abuja would know that Airport road is busiest on Sundays.

Lawan is miles more qualified than Saraki. i wish him all the best.

The famous inauguration speech "I belong to no one and belong to everyone" by Pres. Buhari is actually cropped from the bible.

Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone.~ Apostle Paul ~ 1st Corinthians 9:19

Sounds familiar? Yeah I'm awesome

Since it isn't quote for quote, then there isn't empirical evidence that it was gotten from the bible.

zik4ever:
Is that Senator-elect Kwankwaso I see there? Ah, it’s going to be a tough one for Saraki then! The PDP Senators are divided though, some are for Saraki and a few for Lawan so it’s still dicey -too close to call but if Gbaja gets it in the House on Tuesday, Saraki won’t fly. Let’s see which of the chambers seats first on Tuesday -wish they start seating at same time -the usual 10am.

I would prefer a situation where the two houses start the process at the same time.

SUBWAY101:
Insult and noise making is allowed. Allow people to vent there frustration and anger.

True that. After all, that's the worst they can do. That's the only way they feel relevant.

APC simply does it best.

TANoids and Propaganda are one and the same.

Nigeria’s Senate passed a bill Wednesday that approved life imprisonment for rapists and those who have sex with children under 11 years old, a Nigerian newspaper reported. The legislation could help build a stronger law against sexual crimes in the West African country where scores of women and children are subject to rape and sexual violence.

The bill included various sentences and fines for other sexual offenses such as incest, child pornography, sexual tourism, gang rape, sexual harassment, prostitution of mentally disabled persons, lacing drinks with drugs with intent to sexually abuse, and deliberately infecting someone with HIV and other diseases. The bill also mandated storing names of sex offenders in a database, Premium Times reported.

“Culprits would never be employed in any institution where they may pose a risk to unsuspecting persons. You can see that the penalties are weighty,” Sen. Chris Anyanwu, the bill’s sponsor, told the Nigerian newspaper Wednesday.

The bill also provides a witness protection program to safeguard victims and witnesses in trials for sexual crimes. The bill’s passage followed a report by Nigeria’s Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, which called for stricter penalties for sexual offenders, the Premium Times reported.

Rape and underage sex is widespread across Nigeria, and the country has long lacked strict legislation to provide legal backing for prosecuting sexual offenders. In one case, a pastor in Edo state was sentenced to just five years in prison for raping and impregnating a 12-year-old in 2013. The western state recorded 96 rape cases between January 2012 and August 2014, but only nine convictions were secured, according to an investigation by Premium Times.

“As the law stands now, there are lots of loopholes for offenders to escape convictions,” Henry Idahagbon, the attorney general and commissioner for justice in Edo, told the newspaper last year.

The new Sex Offences Bill could change that. The bill is expected to pass in Nigeria’s House of Representatives on Wednesday and then will need President Muhammadu Buhari’s signature to become effective. However, similar legislation fell short after passing in the Senate last year, under former President Goodluck Jonathan’s watch.

OP, I see your point. But in reference to what exactly, is what you didn't make clear.

Mynd44:
The hell Ohimai (@MrFixNigeria), @MrAyeDee, Demola, Reno Omokri and Doyin Okupe will go to is being planned by structural architects, mechanical engineers and chemical engineers.

I guess now all you people can see that breaking times belongs to the PDP

See this liars ooo. They set up BreakingTimes to propagate lies and he has the nerve to point fingers as @omojuwa? They and Aye deru are the ones that started the madness on twitter before Omojuwa and @Ayorub gave them a taste of their own madness

Breakingtimes and thetrentonline are both PDP propaganda machines. We are watching them closely.

SenseiX:
What do we have now? No major policy statement, no direction, even statutory positions like CoS, SGF, NSA and Service Chiefs are yet to be appointed, the cabinet would prolly be in months and we have an economy running on auto pilot

If you are going to criticize, do it with fact and reason. The bold doesn't make any sense. Why don't you wait and see how long it will take. He should name his cabinet next week after the inauguration of the 8th assembly.

Good one, Mr. President.

He's my governor, but he deserves worse than just pelting. He should be flogged.

JuanDeDios:
Not a good choice, though.

And your reason being?

Awesome.

Buhari prayed in Kano, not at the National Mosque, Abuja. By the way, what is the purpose of this thread?

Dorrobucci:
Obiano looks the president, while osinbajo resemble camera man

Actually, Obiano is playing the part of an usher, ushering Osinbajo.

So, how does that constitute a 'cold war', as you say it? or even a disagreement, in the least? So, Ambode can't use his own people? Must he use Fashola's appointees? Your assertion doesn't make sense, OP?

GenBuhari, don't you get tired of this nonsense?

So, even though Dokpesi got billions of naira from PDP for the hate campaign on Buharis' person, he still can't pay his workers. Pathetic.
