It is sad that PDP wants to turn this Local Government Salaries matter into their election talking point.

Let them continue, POI is going to win for sure, the state is handed over to its former masters and professional politicians. The Anenihs and Igbis are happy again, everyone is happy. The massive strides made in IGR will be thrown into the water, the fact that Edo State is not owing workers salaries will become a thing of the past, Edo State will now have a money sharing formula again, the money will move around. The economic development and attraction will be out on hold, everyone is happy... the masses are happy, the politicians are happy...

Pastor Ize-Iyamu for Governor

It is POI we want!!!!!

I know you are a robot but when did APC NEWS TV become a reliable source of ANYTHING. Not to talk of the itinerary of the President's Wife...

[email][/email]Former National Security Adviser (NSA) Col. Sambo Dasuki
(retd) has protested his detention for alleged $15billion
arms deals facilitated by the Office of National Security
Adviser (ONSA).
He says the Federal Government should allow his trial to
begin, The Nation learnt yesterday.
Dasuki is said to have told his associates that he is not
disposed to a secret trial.
He insists that based on service rules in a security system,
he only obeyed the directive of the President and
Commander-in-Chief, former President Goodluck
Jonathan.
The ex-NSA, The Nation learnt, told his associates: “I am
ready for trial because they have destroyed my family’s
name and my professional integrity, especially how we
successfully fought Boko Haram and recovered major
towns and cities, not villages. They should let my trial start
in earnest to enable Nigerians know the truth from
falsehood.
There is a plan to try Dasuki’s case in secret to protect
some of the witnesses. But Dasuki disagreed.
He said: ”I don’t believe in secret trial and there is no basis
for it because the government has filed all necessary
papers in court and attached the list of witnesses. Since
the witnesses have become public knowledge, there is no
basis for secret trial.’
Dasuki also queried the rationale for keeping him in
custody “without any warrant”.
He said: “Since I was detained in the custody of the
Department of State Service (DSS), I have not been shown
any warrant to this effect or court order.
”I deserve to be shown the warrant of detention by DSS
and the purpose for restricting me to house arrest. My
detention is unlawful.”
He urged Nigerians to prevail on the government to admit
him to bail in line with the present administration’s
commitment to the Rule of Law.
Dasuki said: “All those who collected funds from ONSA
have been granted bail but I am still in custody. I have
been granted bail on all the cases filed against me by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and
even DSS, but I have not been released.
”If all the beneficiaries of the so-called funds are on bail,
what have I done wrong? Nigerians should help prevail on
the government to grant me bail.
”I cannot rock the boat. I am prepared for trial. We did
everything with national and security interest.”
Dasuki stressed that he disbursed all the funds credited to
ONSA based on the directive of ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan.
”Based on the service rules in the security circle, I owe it a
duty to obey the President and Commander-In-Chief. Ex-
President Jonathan approved all the expenses incurred by
ONSA.
”I am ready to prove in court how we complied with the
directive of the ex-President.”
Dasuki was initially arrested by the DSS but EFCC took
custody of him for trial.
But he was later returned to DSS facility from where he had
been going to various courts.
The EFCC had arraigned Dasuki, and two others on 19-
count charge of misappropriation of funds meant for
purchase of arms before a Federal Capital Territory High
Court in Maitama, Abuja.

I booked this space before I read the story. Now that I have read it. I don't have anything to say.

Who wan buy this space? :/

Wailers will still wail here. Just watch

Buhari and Magu looking at Olisa Metuh like. You sure?

Here

ken4jj:
Whether he withdrew the case or not is not the issue after all no judge will have the courage to rule against PMB. But one thing is sure, PMB is never a man of integrity as some of us thought. He is as criminally minded as other politicians. He still has the opportunity to clear all doubts on this and come out straight.
At the end of the day, Nigeria loses because our institutions are weak and easily manipulated by the powerful. Maybe the next president after PMB will take a clue and do even worse and nothing will happen.

Been following this discuss and I am only replying you because you sound reasonable and you mentioned strengthening our institutions something I am really passionate about. Now, to the issue at hand. You are saying PMB should 'come out straight' and do what? Say he has his certificate with him? Because he doesn't. Buhari does not HAVE his WASC Certificate, he 'lost' it, long away and he swore an affidavit to this end. I am sorry I can't explain how he said he lost it now as it is a long story. However, the case against him in the court of law that he HAD to employ an itinerary of legal counsel is about his QUALIFICATION to contest the presidency vis a vis his academic qualification (WASC Certificate). A constitutional matter, but if you see the Nigerian Constitution, it does not say WASSCE or BsC or PhD is actually required, in fact a primary school certificate will suffice, WASC Certificate will also suffice or its equivalent. You will agree with me that Buhari more than fulfils all these requirement and the case against him makes no sense in actual fact. The case is not Show Me Your Certificate but you are not qualified to run for presidency.

PS: The Statement of result was produced by his sec school. And a result sheet showing his result and others that took the exams with him. Buhari owes no one any other explanation or evidences as he has satisfied INEC Requirements even before that SOR was released in fact since 2003.

These bloggers are ALWAYS high on Ogbomosho Weed. How can she be an ambassador FOR violence against women? Is she advocating for violence against women?

Even blind people have waec. We don't want wikipedia articles ,we want our president to shame his critics and tender his secondary school certificate . Abi no be him say he get am

How about this? Not good enough for you?

[quote author=Kamozee post=47025073][/quote]pffft... The government didn't write the article or the hideous headline. I understand your pains, the statement by the government didn't give specifics on payments or number. The silly journalist did. What Adeosun is saying is payments will made... This government has been forth coming with paying backlog of things left unpaid by the last admin if you have been Following the news, they will pay my brother but it might take a while tho...

Kamozee:
I am a YouWIN! Awardee and I haven't been paid. Not even up to 60 out of the 680 awardees have been paid. Its quite unfortunate the kind of government we have whose aim is to build a legacy of incessant lies!

Please sir, you quoted the whole article sir. Can I ask you a simple question sir? Did you read the whole article or just the headline sir. Eh sir, looking forward to hearing back from you sir...

Coolgent:
I got question for Muslims folks...
Why is it that Aisha, Zahra and Hanan Buhari aintwearing hijabs, infact Aisha Buhari never wear one.

Because Buhari is not an Islamic Fundamentalist

Wickedness everywhere. North East West South. The NEWS filled with evil deeds...

Quakertellicus1:
Well, the reason why there are job losses is because the jobs market was dependent on the high number of dollars coming into the economy on high oil prices. And most of them jobs were in Service-type jobs....not in the real industrial sector where real growth takes place.

And our industrial sector was suffering because we were overimporting the things we should have been producing.

Now that oil prices have gone down...the cash from oil has gone down....and the jobs have gone.

In other words....2010-14 was a time of FAKE growth.(And we were there before...in the 1970's and early 80's).

What this government should be doing (and what you should be judging them on, instead of waiting for oil prices to rise again...which is what you wailers and your friends the zombies have in common)....is to spend money on power , transport and technical education.

Things which stimulate industrial....and therefore real growth....not oil , agric, and mining revenues stimulated growth that at the end of the day means our money goes abroad in the name of importation.

Wailer and Zombie...leave that oil alone. Real countries are industrial and innovation dependent.

Best comment on the Nigerian Economy in Narialand ever! I really wish I don't love Buhari and APC that much.

mikkypel:
About u saying i have assimilation problem, i know the best reply for u but I'm not in the mood right now.. But can u hear what you saying or probably see what you are typing, A state as big and composed of literates like Ondo.. You will agree with me that there are CAREER DIPLOMAT, i still stand on my opinion that the president took sides here.. Some states had two nominees and some states had none.. Haba,. Its still not fair.. In government, equity should be done.. That is when you respect the Constitution

I am tired of explaining this thing. I am not saying that there are defending the SGF as I have said more than once, there are other things he did not address properly but you cannot keep telling me that equity was not observed or Bubu is doesn't like Ondo State. That is nonsense. Ekiti State had two nominees. EKITI STATE. Fayose 's state has two nominees. Anambra has two. Kwara has two, the state of his supposed enemy, Saraki. Cross River also has two. Analyse the list yourself. If you have the NAMES of CAREEER DIPLOAMTS in Level 16/17 from Plateau (APC), Ondo, Bayelsa or Ebonyi. Please furnish me with those names. I will be the first to condemn Pastor Lawal for lying....

NB: Only Borno has three nominees, and one out of the three is a Southern Borno Christian...

ojuu4u:
You are a fool and i biliv the brain in your head is equivalent to that of fish. Kip on following ur Buhari that brought ill-luck to Nigeria nation. After 4 years ur eyes will be wide opened when you wouldn't be able to point to one single tin that he had done except backwardness. Did you even asked yourself if its only core north that have only qualified persons? Did you know that he appointed ex service men to head custom and DSS? Just to satisfy northerner but he couldn't do it in case of south. Oga, did you know that not following federal character is an impeachable offence? LASTLY did u know that so much increased in political unrests we are witnessing today in Nigeria is partly caused by lopsided in appointments made so far since he became president

Okay. Assimilation problem then. They say a problem is half solved when you know the problem exist. Hope you find out sooner rather than later.

MirabelArode:
You can even claim to be from Igwe of Nnewi's Lineage, it doesn't stop our nostrils from smelling your yoruba muslim odour and calling you Tajudeen Olanipekun- your real names. See, It's not difficult to smoke out muslim zombies, no matter what ethnicity they claim.

SMH. Unfortunately for you. I have your time. Check my Facebook page: France C. Okanu. Simple task oh. And you have data. No excuse. I am not telling you to do proper research on Halliburton Case Files or search for Aisha Buhari records. Just go and check my Facebook, France C. Okanu. If you still think I am a Muslim Zombie, well then...

mikkypel:
I took my time to read it.. Any problem?

Maybe you have assimilation problem then, if not, why would you be mentioning SSCE? Really? So, you think they should just pick the most educated person in Ondo State, say a Professor Emeritus and trust him into a sensitive Ambassadorial position when QUALIFICATIONS for such position involves being a CAREER DIPLOMAT? You better read again. Pastor Lawal made some errors in his statement, find those errors and tell me... Looking forward to hearing back from you

MirabelArode:
Another trash from another 'we Ibos' yoruba muslim. Abeg smell go one side with your cheap arab perfume. I guess you are also 'ibo' who believe that Zamfara is more educated than Ebonyi and Ondo. Obailala is that you?

Bufoons can't even intelligently hide their default yoruba muslim/fulani odour when making 'we ibo' claims.

Gosh. You need help. You are still talking about who is more EDUCATED? What does EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION has to do with being a DIPLOMAT? What do you know about Zamfara State? For the last time, nobody is talking about educational qualification, okay? Relax...

PS: My name is France Chukwuebuka Okanu. I am from Oru East Local Government, my village is Akatta. And I am Igbo.

I have trust in this govt but this excuse, i won't accept.. Let all States be represented.. It is not possible you cannot find a qualified person in that State.. Walahi.. U go find president there sef.. People that have more than SSCE
...

nortcentrallord:
Lol @ "qualify" when our president is not even qualified to govern this country hence no certificate up till today.
An unqualified man calling another unqualified.
A corrupt man calling others corrupt.
What a country!

The three of you please don't lie. Did you read the article or you are only commenting based on the headline?

MirabelArode:
Obailala, Amaechi1 shouldn't you guys be here telling us how you are an ibos from Nwabodo in Ebonyi, who supports 'the fact that Zamfara and Borno are more literate than Ondo and Ebonyi".Una dey strike?

You are an ethnic bigot. Nobody can change that for now. However, what concerns Igbos (that is the proper way to spell our tribe) with this Ambassadorial nonsense? Is Plateau State (APC State, Buhari won there), Ondo State ( Soon to be APC State, Buhari won there) and Bayelsa State IgboLands? Is that you can't read or you are bereft of understanding. Does qualifications now mean only one thing again? Are we talking literacy or we are talking about Career Diplomats? Or you don't have the capacity to make distinctions? You can't think for yourself, investigate things yourself, place things in proper perspective but you call us who support this government Zombies? Who is behaving like a Zombie here. Lawal goofed but it is not in the area of ethnicity or State I'd Origin of the Diplomats. Bring forth a better argument and stop this default style of stating things....

donofdons:
I know lots of career diplomats from ondo state and i am sure ebonyi have many too

That are qualified in terms of level and experience? Why will the presidency want to punish Ondo State tho? Their Governor Mimiko doesn't speak against the government, there is an election coming up there soon so politically they would want to choose someone from there to show that they are part of the gov. But this is not possible because these are not political appointees, then Ebonyi state, I mean what will Buhari have against them? there is rarely even ProBiafran protest there sef. So how is this a case of that. Note that Ekiti state had one or even two out of the list. There are other salient issues that the SGF did not address as regarding Junior and Seniors and also NIA. The main issue is not North vs South. Also note that Plateau is an APC State in North Central...

ajepako:
This man's administration is not hiding its hatred for certain regions at all..

His prejudice and blatant hatred and disdain are so damn obvious...

So pathetic...

You people cannot read or what?

donofdons:
This is very funny...so this government want to tell me that ondo and ebonyi state that are in the first 10 list of nigerias most educated states but largely illiterate states like katsina where even the president does not even have a real waec result can have qualified people.
This government is a joke and their failure is phenomenal.
Thank God i am moved to iceland from nigeria after returning from russia during GEJ era to contribute to my country.

Read this report by Authority Newspaper owned by Ifeanyi Ubah. The question is not just on EDUCATIONAL qualification but about being a CAREER DIPLOMAT. Just read...

https:///ZAOjzrEXW4

The girl in yellow tho. She was looking at Mimiko like "If I catch you one on one eh" Too sexual...

This Pope is just too hip!!!

Let me digress a little. I have two Nigerians I admire the most and they are Buhari and Kumuyi. Do you see what he did here, not touching the pitch at all. That is how events should be hosted in our stadia. I remember attending SAY2001 @ The National Stadium, Lagos. We used the stadium for one week and left the stadium in a better shape than we met it. If people can remember, Pastor Chris started doing crusades there after that, using the pitch, seats were stolen, stadium was vandalised and the stadium has not remained the same. These little things really matter.

Nigeria will be great one day.
