Whether we like it or not, our type of democracy will always promote the act of using State funds to finance the election of public office holders be it at the State or Federal levels. This is not suggesting that it's a good practice or the best way to go but that's the reality. Has anybody asked questions on how Tinubu, Fashola, Ameachi , Aregbesola and other APC stalwarts allegedly used their respective State Funds to finance their party when they were in opposition? Did anybody try to unravel how Buhari's electioneering campaigns were financed (pls forget the story of N50 donations from members of the public)? How about the billions of Naira APC spent on advertisements both locally and internationally? Who financed the fuelling of the many private jets Buhari used during his nationwide campaigns? What about the money spent on Buhari's Chatham House appearance? Where did the funds come from? The answer is not farfetched. These are monies from State covers under spurious, fictitious and questionable expense heads. It's as simple as that. Obviously, the N78million and N300million allegedly spent by Fashola on Website and Borehole respectively might not have gone into his private pocket but for party financing purposes.
APC and Buhari are fighting a battle that may boomerang if care is not taken and I see them burning their fingers along the line. Kettles should desist from calling the pot black.

Nobody is afraid of the hausas or fulani, the message is for the igbos living and doing business in the North to take extra caution against any backlash and not for igbos to panic over the North.
Since some igbos prefer to live and do business in the volatile cities of the North then they ought to be warned.

BluMalam:
At this rate, the South East will be under a state of emergency by Christmas.

The reprisal in the north will trigger a reprisal in the SE, that will welcome a military administration in the region.

Lets hope nothing happens, and its not too late.

They are already battling Boko Haram, you shouldn't kick a man when he's down. Boko Haram has tamed the abokkis

From the picture, it looks more like Onitsha Central Kiosk is what was burnt. The mosque is still there in the background.

Rawani:
If you observe the timeline of the disbursements, its completely reasonable and logical to suggest that the arms scam formed a significant part of GEJ's re-election campaign funds.

GenBuhari: Provide some verifiable evidence to support to claim or withdraw them.

GenBuhari: just saying "yes he was" is not sufficient you should show evidence supporting your claim that he was more despotic than any other leader.

GenBuhari: Was Abacha any more despotic than any other leader of Nigeria?
No he wasn,t that is a simple fact.
