This young man was murdered in Bauchi while serving there as a youth copper.

He is from the SE and was schooled abroad and only returned to fulfil his national assignment.

He was brutally murdered by a mob of Buharist/Islamist illiterate in the 2011 post-election riots that broke out across the north.

Is Kemi better than this boy?

For Kemi to still remain in that office after her obvious forgery is an insult to not only this late young man but to all those corpers who were murdered in cold blood by Buhari's almajiiris.

You either scrap the useless NYSC or sack and convict Kemi for forgery and perjury!

God punish you Sagay wherever you are.

God punish you osinbanjo

My brother, the thing tire me o. They're just going on with life, hoping we'll quickly forget about the stinking elephant in the room.

It's the same thing with the Customs boss - if you think the Customs uniform is beneath you, why 'stoop so low' to enjoy the position, its allowances and benefits?

If she thought Nigeria wasn't worth serving as a Corps member, why turn around to collect such a 'juicy office' (in Saraki's words) as Finance Minister?

zicoraads:
I didn't know this was happening, I would have attended.

If you are an Abuja resident, you can turn up at the INEC office tomorrow (3pm) to witness the collection of the party's certificate from INEC.

99miles:
I'll rather vote for Buhari.........

Good for you. I believe you have the means to receive treatment in London when you fall ill?

The whole country cannot like a single candidate so you are free to vote for Buhari.

Sparro:
I will love to be a member biko.

Soon enough bro. You don't need a god father to join the AAC. It is an avenue through which the common Nigerian can aspire to run for any position without strings or compromise.

fallout87:
He is wasting time and money.

Anyways, I'm sure the APC benfecators who are financially supporting his campaign in order to undercut opposition momentum will reward him handsomely for his "work".

Even after he has registered a legitimate party, you're still peddling this falsehood? Haba bros. Buhari is not this smart (politically or otherwise).

booblacain:
this guy could be working for the APC and his part is to split Southern votes for Buhari's benefit. The North will not vote for him and he knows that.

Even after he has registered a legitimate party, you're still peddling this falsehood? Haba bros. Buhari is not this smart (politically or otherwise).

amendara1:
please how do I register I want to be an active member

Party website to be made available shortly. Intending members will be able to register online and generate digital membership cards.

BabaRamota1980:
There is nothing wrong to give them money for drinks or food. The workers are out there from early morning till late evening. Even after voting closed and voters have left they did not leave, their work continued.

Why did he not give them the 'food money' before voting started? Could he not have had food bought and sent to them instead? More importantly, are INEC officials not paid by INEC?

And Kemi Adeosun couldn't serve a country that is paying her and taking care of her family?

TheUbermensch:
This is 2018.


I do not understand why getting voters card should be so tedious. Remind me again why we need quarter of a billion naira against next year elections? It's even easier in some African countries and some douchebags would have the nerves to call Nigeria the giant of Africa.

The process of getting the PVC is intentionally tedious. It's a way to keep very busy people off. .


Also what's the point of getting a PVC in a country where elections would still be rigged?



We should just accept that Nigeria has failed in every ramification and doesn't even deserve to be called a country.

More like a quarter of a trillion Naira.

phase1:
Abooki doesn't care as long he can keep voting muslims and eat in Alhaji's house and go home na Ba damoa, ba komi (no problem). Development can go to hell.

There is no way any southern region can grow sticking with abookis.

Is Ekiti also a northern state?

jimi4us:
Foolish goat, go and contest for LG Chairman first, monkey


Chief Propagandist want to be a president, HOW??

Chai. This one pain you o.

Please contest for the LG chairmanship you are comfortable with. There's no law that says presidential aspirants must be old, corrupt, sick, incapable or ex-dictators before they can be allowed to contest.

amamahdaniel:
It does not take 5 minutes to get your voters card. Any individual that has not collect his or her voters card. They are the lazy youths in this country.

What happens to people who turn 18 after August 18th? Shouldn't they be given the chance to exercise their franchise?

Very 'gracious' of Dino to be speaking against greed. Or maybe it has a new meaning.

Were they all flown first class?

dlondonbadboy:
Who is the minister of petroleum again? Lol

He's a ghost worker who still takes holidays. He's the president of Nigeria who is paid in Nigeria but lives in London.

Realdeals:
Are we really SA Big Brother?

We remember very little in this country bro.

DSTV and MTN keep complaining about operating costs but whatever happened to shutting down and going elsewhere? They can't try it.

Bumping this.

izzou:
The summary of all I have been saying since

Sowore doesn't have any. Moughalu can qualify. Durotoye should just go and sit down. He was part of those that supported this incompetent president we have

Baba...you carry this their matter for head o. What has Buhari's 'experience' brought us? As a retired military man, his Nigeria is even more unsafe than the Nigeria we witnessed under pure civilian administrations like Jonathan's and Yar'Adua's and you know what? He doesn't give a damn.

Please watch this video when you have the time and see how the interviewer took Buhari down memory lane, showing him that he has never meant well for Nigeria but himself and his immediate family.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBkmrHgN10I&t=263s

These young aspirants you think so lowly of are better educated than Buhari and have excelled in their respective professions. Some of them have actually fought for a better Nigeria and have continued to do so without asking for anything in return.

SolutionMee:
Maybe Sowore is even the man PDP wants to package for 2019



I just have to hide the full gist

I think you're talking about Ahmed Buhari who happens to be a registered PDP member (sharing the same name with the current persident is his first handicap though).

Madam, as an aspirant, you have to be up and about with your ears on the streets. Nobody will come to wherever you are to give you an invitation. Prove your clout and request a seat at the table.

westerk:
These are men with no single ideology or philosophy same as saraki only after their selfish political ambitions. Men with no sense of shame or purpose running back to the same party they helped pull down in 2015. Don't be surprised if you see all of them returning back to apc in 2023. To think that any right thinking youth still supports these kind of politicians makes me shudder. I would rather vote of those PDP politicians that stood with the party through thick and thin not these prostitutes.

Just like Buhari - started with the ANPP, moved to the CPC, and then hopped into bed with the likes of Tinubu in the currently-imploding APC.

The allowances collected by 109 senators in one month (#13,500,000.00 * 109) can pay 29,430 people #50,000.00 for one month. We have not gone to allowances they get to execute constituency projects.

einsteine:
You do realize that the Senate has to approve a change in the constitution. Are you aware of the procedures in making such a change? Where in the Nigerian constitution does it state that changes can come solely through a referendum without a reference to the legislature?

Mauritanians have voted to abolish the upper house of their parliament, the Senate, in a controversial referendum that was boycotted by the opposition.

The result is seen as a victory for President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who is accused by his rivals of trying to extend his mandate, which he denies.

He called the referendum after the Senate rejected his proposals to change the constitution.

Turnout was 53.73%, with 85% of voters supporting the change, officials said.

But members of the opposition denounced an "electoral farce which has given way to open-air fraud".

Mr Abdel Aziz, who described the Senate as "useless and too costly", said the move to abolish it would improve governance by introducing more local forms of lawmaking.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-40847092

These things have been done elsewhere. The problem is that we don't believe that we (198,000,000 of us) are stronger than the senate.

Let's just mummify him na...

Ndkings1:
I like your spirit... But it won't work

If you don't shoot, you don't score.

Ziggylady:
Oh no we will not keep 'tribal sentiments' at the door..who are you deceiving??...Kingsley Moghalu's policy statements are there for all to see..but no you SWs are not interested,it is championing a blackmailing maverick like Sowore you are interested in

We will 'retire the old,corrupt people once and fot all' alright,starting with Kingsley Moghalu...otherwise kindly talk to the hand cos the face aint listening..simple!

Hahaha...and you concluded I'm from the SW because I'm standing on the side of the truth? Don't make me laugh.

I'm a Nigerian and a concerned one at that.

World’s largest oil company, Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia is fighting hard to protect its market share and slow a potential mass movements to electric vehicles.

Saudi Aramco and other major oil companies around the world ( can't say if Nigeria's Oil Companies are among ) aren't ready to surrender the automotive market to companies like Tesla and BYD because they pose potential threat to their business.

They keep fighting hard to protect their market share and slow a potential mass movements to electric vehicles.

https://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img923/7215/loSNuL.jpg

But how is the World's highest earning oil company with an annual revenue of $478 billion USD (N165 trillion Naira) in 2017 fighting the likes of Tesla and BYD?

Saudi Aramco currently has 30 engineers working in Detroit U.S on a project to build better internal combustion engines that burns less oil.

The head of Saudi Aramco’s Detroit Research Center said:


If they succeed (and I know there are other companies with similar research centres) in making internal combustion engines that are more efficient, then i think they can slow the loss of market share.

https://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img922/7192/6oLtCH.jpg

BP is already trying to embrace the idea and limit their losses by paying N61.6b ( £130m) to buy UK’s biggest electric car charging network, Chargemaster . Chargemaster currently has more than 6,500 charging points across the country. BP plans to deploy fast chargers at it’s 1,200 forecourts over the next year.

BP estimates that electric vehicles will reach about 12m in UK by 2040 with some analysts putting the figure much higher.

Nigeria is one of the largest oil producers in the world (total revenue from crude oil rose by 29% to N7.3 trillion in 2017) and the largest in Africa, although Libya has the largest reserves in the continent .

Don't you think the Federal Government and Oil companies are stylishly trying to slow down electric vehicles progress in the country?

https://autojosh.com/saudi-aramco-plans-to-slow-down-electric-vehicle-progress-by-making-efficient-engines/

As soon as e-vehicle manufacturers are able to perfect autonomous solar charging for e-vehicles, nobody will have to argue with anyone. Some of these vehicles already assure 350+miles on a full charge.

Apart from Peter Thiel, CEO of PayPal, every other tech billionaire in this room including Amazon boss Jeff Bezos supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. This picture was taken during a meeting with the biggest tech billionaires at Trump Tower, December 14, 2016 in New York City.

Anyways, the reason he decided to meet these Silicon Valley Titans is after his election victory is to discuss on ways of moving the tech industry forward but that’s not our problem right now. The main focus of this post is to talk about the amount of money these billionaires control.

https://techcapon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/billl-768x398.jpg

The picture above shows tech billionaires and their net worth as of 2016. Techcapon.com have decided to update that picture with the latest net worth of these guys in 2018. Some of them have become richer ever since Donald Trump came into office while some have become poorer, lol. But know this, no matter what, these guys have more money in their pockets than some countries have in their entire foreign reserves. They are billionaires. SEE UPDATED PICTURE BELOW.

https://techcapon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/trump-meeting-file.jpg

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg snubbed the meeting, instead he sent in Sheryl Sandberg to represent him. Same thing with Twitter, Trump’s favorite social media. It is also interesting to know that Trump is seriously attacking Jeff Bezos right now from all angles but so far that hasn’t stopped the Amazon strongman from soaring higher.

Jeff Bezos (AMAZON) $143.1B

LARRY PAGE (GOOGLE) $53.5B

Sheryl Sandberg (FACEBOOK) $1.56B

Donald Trump ($3.7B)

Peter Thiel (PAYPAL) $2.5B

Tim Cook (APPLE) $400M

Safra Catz (ORACLE) $510M

Elon Musk (TESLA) $20B

Eight of them alone is worth over $220B . Don’t forget there are many other tech billionaires not in the picture.

All I see are immigrants, or children of (Trump included)

LibertyRep:
The first thing I did was to check the source , and as anticipated, it's Premium Times!

Can Premium Times maintain this tempo and fit in the shoes of Sahara Reporters? Time will tell.

As for PMB, he isn't very much different from past rulers. The only thing he enjoys is the hero worshiping in the North and perhaps the image laudering by the media in the South.

Don't see the need for the 'very much' boss, he's actually worse than the past rulers coz at least, they weren't pretentious about their intentions.

'Change' you asked for, 'change' you have received.

nextstep:
Technically we have one representative per constituency, which usually consists of several LGAs. For instance, my representative, Ms. Hon. Joan Mrakpor represents the 4 LGAS of Aniocha North, Aniocha South, Oshimili North, and Oshimili South.

I agree NASS overpays and they should in all fairness reduce their salaries.

This is different from why we need two chambers. The point is to balance the interests of states with larger populations, against the interests of states with smaller. For instance, Lagos and Kano each have 24 representatives, and could easily override the interests of smaller states like Bayelsa (5) or Ekiti (6). Each state has 3 senators, so their senators balance out those interests to some degree. It's a really good system - though our current crop of senators have been MIA in terms of actually representing their states interests, and in terms of siphoning funds.

Even on the issue of being overpaid, let me play devil's advocate: they spend a lot of that money in Nigeria (their fancy buildings, many cars and drivers, and all the people who derive their pay from them benefit in some way) I'm not really serious, but it's a thought experiment.

You and Sowore are actually saying the same thing: if you have a national assembly that is unbalanced, it means their decisions will always be unbalanced. What then do you need them for?

You might as well call for a referendum to abolish the national assembly and stick with just the senate (and pray they make decisions in our favor).
