How many of these people took their party's mandate to another party. They mainly switched before contesting. Unlike our politicians that takes their party mandate into another party. Example, how many elected governors, senators or presidents in USA crossed to other party with their seats intact?

Whoever knows Mbaka should pls wake him from his dream. In fact he will be the first mallams will use for suya, if anything happens to their dear Buhari.
After all when the going was good, he was one of Buhari's well paid advisers. Now they have realised he is a fake and a fraud, he is denied access to the president.
Mbaka cry me a river. I dey my beat ooh, oya come beat me!

Extracted from a novel written by Taylor Caldwell, titled The Wide House.

There was a small girl, homeless and wandering, who after many footsore days of travel, and much hunger and loneliness and sadness, came to the high wall of a strange garden. Over the top of that wall she could see the branches of the oddest trees, each leaf shining and polished like metal, and bearing among them round and golden fruit of the most uncommon kind. Birds sat among the leaves, motionless and dreaming, plumaged in yellow and red and blue and purple. The
little girl longed for the fruit, and looked about her for a gate. She found it, sunken in the stones, and with fear, pushed it open. It made no sound. She entered the garden. There was no sound in it at all, and here the sunlight had a faint and gauzy light, as in a dream. Not a leaf fluttered.
There was no breeze. The birds sat in the trees and slept. There were many flowers here, drooping in the dim but mysteriously clear radiance, which was like that hour just before dusk. The little girl saw roses, with rich hanging heads, and rosemary, and phlox and forget-me-nots and pansies, and great lilies with open striped yellow throats, and hanging leaves. Paths wound among the flowers, paths of scattered stones, between which the thick green moss was growing.
The air, drowsy and dreaming, was filled with the most entrancing odours of flowers and shrubs, so heavy that the little girl could hardly breathe. There was the old and bewitched perfume of elderberry blossoms too, sweeter and more swooning than all the others. The little girl wandered down the paths, and looked at the sundials, and was vaguely surprised that, though the light was both soft and trans- parent, the sundials did not show the time. There was no shadow on them. Indeed, there were no shadows at all in this garden.
Everything stood, soundless and breathless, in this garden without time. Every- thing slept. There was no wind, but the elderberry scent came and went in long sweet puffs as if disturbed. Not a bird uttered a cry, or broke the silence with the rustle of a wing.
The little girl came to a pond, sunken in the thick green moss. It was like a round shield of glimmering pewter, and nothing disturbed it, not a ripple or the shadow of fish or the flight of an insect. Two swans, white and still, slept on its surface, which reflected the pale blue sky. Beyond the pond, the trees were thick and dark and ancient, bending their heads and showing their golden fruit, which shone like little yellow suns in the half-light.
And then the little girl was very frightened. She knew that she must leave this spellbound garden at once, and find her way back to the sunken gate and the highway. Perhaps her guardian angel had whispered to her urgent. And then she cried out that she was very tired and thirsty and hungry, and must eat of that golden fruit and rest a little. After that, she would resume her journey, and look for a home*
She climbed the branches of the nearest tree and plucked the fruit, and sank her little white teeth into it. She sat there in the branches, while the strange and beautifully-hued birds slept motionless near her, like fruit, themselves. The fruit was very sweet and juicy and delicious. It tasted like honey and wine, and its flesh was as satisfying as bread.
And below the little girl lay the wide garden of flowers and pond and swans and trees, drifting in a faint and luminous mist like pearl and last sunlight, with the odour of elderberry sweet and swooning on the warm air.
The little girl, satisfied and rested, climbed down the tree and stood beneath it. “ I must go , she said, aloud. She hardly heard her voice, which seemed to drown on the air. And then she became very sleepy, as if overpowered. She sank down on the warm thick moss and slept.
She must not have slept long, or another day had come, for when she awoke, the garden was just the same as she remembered. She arose. She looked about her, dreamily. But she had forgotten who she was, and from whence she had come, and where she was going. She remembered nothing but the garden, enchanted and timeless, full of sleep.
The little girl lived in the garden for a long time, but she never remembered the days, and there were no nights, except for the pearly mist which drifted through the trees. She was very happy, this child in a dream. She ate of the fruit, and slept, and talked to the flowers and the silent swans, and smelled the elderberry. She looked down the tawny throats of the lilies, and stroked the roses, which had no thorns and never faded. She walked over the winding paths, and gazed up at the birds.
And then one day, she found the old sunken gate again. She was very surprised to see it. She did not remember it. She pushed on it and it opened soundlessly. She stepped out on to the rutted road. She looked behind her. The garden was hardly to be seen, now. The pearly mist had fallen over it like a translucent cloud. And from some- where the little girl heard the wind of Heaven, for the first time in endless ages. It was a loud and thundering sound, and it frightened her.
She wanted to run back into the warm and silent garden, but the gate gently pulled itself from her hand and closed. She put her hands on it and tore frantically at it, but it would not open. She tried to climb it, but it seemed to grow higher and higher, and to be filled with wounding sharp edges.
Finally, she fell down upon the ground, tired out, and memory came back to her, and she wept long and deeply, until she was exhausted.
And then she discovered that she was no longer a child, but a
woman, full-grown.
She got to her feet, and walked away down the highway. And it was winter now, cold and raw, with snow flying and the trees blasted and black, and not a bird to be seen.She never did find any one who really loved her. Not as she wanted to be loved, I am afraid. Worst of all, after the garden the world seemed very ugly and noisy and cruel and fierce to the girl. She could never get used to it. And one day she tried to find her way back to the garden and the elderberry scent and the golden fruit of dreams.
She never did. And so she died of a broken heart, in the snow .

This does not look like a catholic rosary to me.

An opinion of someone who reason before they speak.

Femi Adesina was asked why the government prevented the media from interviewing any of the released chibok girls and he said is because of security purposes.
And again he was asked why the government said that they will keep the girls in a safe house in Abuja, instead of releasing them to their parents, Femi again said for security reasons.
Femi was also asked how many terrorists was released in place of this girls and he said that he can't say anything about that for security reasons.
This same Femi Adesina was asked when will his government allow journalist to interview any of the girls and he said not soon because of security reasons.
The interviewer also ask Femi if any of the girls knows the location on which they were held and he said that for security reasons, he can't say that
and my question is why are you announcing to the world that some girls was released if you can't give details of how they were released and allow journalists to interview them?

kunlexy1759:
Could it be a coincidence?

Not coincidence, my friend. It's a well rehearse script. Oga Liar Mohammed told us a few days ago that Nigerians will be shocked with the achievements they are going to reel out on their second anniversary. This is one of them.

mapet:
This is where many of your type loose your moral compass. An allegation that N34b of our commonwealth was unaccounted for and your response is "why is Amaechi making noise about it? Are you even sure you deserve any good in your life? Just like the issue of N43b scandal, is it noble for GEJ's media team to react and with facts? even if it will put Amaechi to disrepute?

Whatever you are called, it's you and your generation unborn that does not deserve any good in your lives! I was only advising Amaechi and idiots like you to investigate and prosecute GEJ if found guilty instead of embarking on media trial. But here you are, the typical zombie that you are cursing your whole generation. And where did N43b comes into this? I have never heard of this amount. Except in your usual warped imagination, you are changing $43m to N43b.

mapet:
Are you minding fooooools? They cannot address the issue Amaechi raised. That N34b went into thing-air and no single milestone to account for it. When we say GEJ stole us blind, they will say it is hatred. At least the shippers association is also challenging and demanding the evidence of that expenditure

Why is Amaechi making noise about it? If it's true, why don't you probe it and demand explanation and possibly refund from GEJ and the contractor? Why not send efcc after them? As usual, Amaechi and APC are embarking on their usual media trial.

The US have been interfering in other nations' election. Here they are now crying over Russian's interference with theirs. Obama is a dunce!

I am an indigene of Osun state. I am from Ile-Ife, the ancestral home of the Yorubas. So, whatever I am about to share with you is a product of personal experience and vast knowledge of the socio-political configuration of my state. I have to share this after deep introspection, although I am still deeply mourning the death of one of Osun's finest and colourful politicians of all time.

1. Senator Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke was a very popular grassroots politician

2. Isiaka Adeleke was a very generous and large-hearted man who could empty his vault for the people

3. Adeleke had gubernatorial ambition to succeed Rauf Aregbe, he's always had it even before he defected to the APC.

4. Sometimes in 2013, Rauf Aregbesola, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Chief Bisi Akande cajoled Adeleke to abandon his old political party, the PDP for the APC just so that they could ride on his popularity to win elections in Osun state

5. The joker worked as Adeleke left the PDP for the APC on the promise that he would be made to succeed Aregbesola after the later might have completed his two terms of 8 years in office

6. But as usual, the trio of Rauf Aregbesola, Bola Tinubu and Bisi Akande reneged on this promise just like they did in the case of Gov. Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State in 2014

7. Unknown to Adeleke, they (Aregbe, Tinubu and Bisi Akande) have always had a different plan and the plan is that Adeleke would be prevented from getting the guber ticket

8. The belief of the trio is that Adeleke was too popular and independed-minded to be controlled by the Lagos Mafia

9. They knew that Adeleke had a winning political structure and it would be difficult to teleguide him from Lagos as they always do

10. So, Tinubu anointed Gboyega Oyetola and brought him back from Lagos to Osun State to be Chief of Staff to Aregbe overnight

11. Gboyega is Tinubu's first cousin from Iragbiji, the ancestral home of Tinubu in Osun state

12. Gboyega was/is the business ladvisor to Tinubu in Lagos. He handles a chunk of Tinubu's businesses in Lagos

13. Tinubu wanted him because he believes that he would further the perfect yeoman's job that he made Aregbe to do in Osun state.

14. But Adeleke was proving too 'stubborn' and too popular for their liking

15. They used the party to warn Adeleke not to commence campaigns but Adeleke defied them

16. Adeleke had the strong backing of Gov. Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state and lately, Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State.

17. These three detest Tinubu's godfatherim and high-handedness in the South-West, and they've been working well, and succeeding, in taming the monster

18. That's why you would notice that only these three gathered for the burial rites of Adeleke in Ede

19. Did you notice that not a single high ranking government functionary from Osun state attended the Firdua prayers in Ede?

20. Did you notice that despite his popularity and strategic importance to the victory of the APC in Osun state, neither Tinubu nor Bisi Akande honoured this Osun illustrious son with their presence at the Firdua?

21. It's all a perfected premeditated game plan.

22. First, Aregbe was told to travel out of the state, to China on a phony business trip

23. After this, the agents of darkness were programmed to strike and they did struck deep into the hearts of Osun people.

24. Almost immediately, and in order to cover their tracks, they asked Omoyele Sowore of Sahara Reporters to spine the story away from them

25. And like a loyal boy that he always is to the Lagos Mafia, he did spine it that Adeleke died of drug overdose in the hand of a 'quack' doctor

26. How can a doctor with over two decades experience suddenly become a quack overnight?

27. How could a doctor who had been attending to Adeleke and his family for years suddenly become a quack in the estimation of Sahara Reporters and its sponsors?k

28. They killed Adeleke without blinking an eye

29. They killed Adeleke just like they killed Funsho Williams in Lagos state

30. They killed Adeleke just like they killed Dipo Dina in Ogun state

But they've only killed Adeleke, they've not killed the spirit of Osun people to liberate themselves from the yoke of the Lagos mafia. They've not killed Adeleke's [truncated by WhatsApp]

That you read a whole lot of rubbish and junk dosen't make them real and authentic.
There are a lot of fabrications and outright falsehood being published. That you chose to swallow everything hook, line and sinker without discernment exposes your pathetic level of understanding.
That you can regurgitate same as true and correct in a public arena shows a clear disconnect and disfunction in your train of reasoning.


That you choose to mock those that seek to draw you out of your misery of peddling lies ,mischief and untruths, displays your irredeemable buffonery and psychotic idiocy.
Mr avid reader, the question stands for you; which agency under Abacha arrested Sanusi for murder? Police ? SSS or Army?
Quote one news agency that carried the news when the arrest was made.
Who then released Sanusi from detention after two years?
Abacha ,Abdulsalam or Obasanjo?
Which year was he arrested and which year was he released?
Danjuma Ibrahim ;Deputy commisioner of police FCT was arrested for the murder of the Apo 6. He was detained, tried and acquited.
The records are there . The media coverage are there.

How come no official record of Sanusi's arrest is in existence?
No media coverage of the arrest and release?
No date of arrest and release?
Not one single security agent serving or retired have come out to say that he ordered the arrest, effected the arrest, witnessed the detention or place of detention.
The reason is that no such thing happened.
Sanusi lamido Sanusi was never arrested for the murder of Gideon Akaluka.
No amount of conspiracy theory and copious consumption of online junk news will make an outright falsehood, true.
So Mr crass ignorance, i welcome people like you and your ilk laughing at me . Such laughter sounds like the chuckles of Jackals and howls of Hyenas; Empty, Hollow and Pitiable.

Sanusi when some times in early 1990's he lodged in Sudan as a foreign student, from where he might have imbibed his Sufi apologist and quasi-Shi'ite creeds -the one that he jumbled up with western orientalist ideologies to emerge with this his confused mind set that haunts every body here? Or why else among the Muslim brothers ever dubbed Mr. Sanusi a fanatic or a fundamentalist when he was arrested and imprisoned at the wake of Kano religious upheaval in 1995, following the beheading one Gideon Akaluka for his (Gideon's) blasphemy of using Qur'anic scripts as toilet papers. Mr. Sanusi, you accused Sheikh Ja'afar of losing touch with his root and (according to you) because Ja'afar is "a man whose life has been a series of dislocations contradictions and alienation-------" That is why according to your assertion, Ja'afar behaves abnormally.

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) swooped on the residence of Mohammed Adoke, former attorney-general of the federation, in Kano on Tuesday but found nothing, sources have told TheCable.

The anti-graft agency has reported heavy hauls of suspected proceeds of crime in recent times following tip-offs from members of the public.

Some of the discoveries were made at residences associated with former national security adviser, Sarki Mukhtar, and Andrew Yakubu, former NNPC GMD.

However, raids on the residences of Adoke have not yielded any evidence so far.

The Kano residence, which is at Alu Avenue, was ransacked by the EFCC operatives on Tuesday between noon and 2pm.

They searched rooms, ceiling and water tanks but sources said nothing incriminating was found.

One of the greatest selling points of President Muhammadu Buhari which led Nigerians to choose him at the expense of an incumbent during the 2015 general elections was the strong belief that he was going to combat Nigeria’s worst enemy, corruption.

Have you done your nysc? if you have then you will know that passing out dates are different from service duration. It's usually about three weeks to the end of service. Service is one year. It does not matter whether it's weekends or working days. July 9th 2000 to July 8th 2001 is the full year that a service should last. whether that day is Sunday or Monday is immaterial.

The Nigerian armed forces comprises of the Army Navy and Air Force. The police , like the customs, immigration, etc are paramilitary.

K aduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai in September 2016 sent a powerful memo to President Muhammadu Buhari arguing that their party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has made the situation in Nigeria worse than it met it by failing to be proactive in taking key decisions in a timely manner, SaharaReporters has learned.
“In very blunt terms, Mr. President, our APC administration has not only failed to manage expectations of a populace that expected overnight ‘change’ but has failed to deliver even mundane matters of governance outside of our successes in fighting BH insurgency and corruption,” he said in the 30-page memo, which was a follow-up to an earlier one he sent to the president.
“Overall, the feeling even among our supporters today is that the APC government is not doing well,” he declared, before proceeding to an analysis of the key areas: Politics, National Economy and Governance, and then making suggestions for Mr. Buhari’s consideration and action.
Listing his reasons for the memo, he said, the final one was his opinion that President Buhari is Nigeria’s only hope now and in the medium term of saving the Nigerian nation from collapse, and enabling the north of Nigeria to regain its lost confidence, begin to be respected as a significant contributor, and not the parasite and problem of the Nigerian federation.

Shay they reserved the chairmanship of efcc to the northerners only? From nuhu ribadu, to Farida waziri, Ibrahim lamorde and magu, all have been northerners. Now another northerner is been speculated to take over. What kind of country are we in? Are northerners the least corrupt people in Nigeria?

This does prove that the APC massively rigged the Edo election. Why hiding your so called "star witness", if what he came to witness to was genuine. Any way the Edo stollen mandate will be surely recovered. "Star witness" or not

Bring apc party chairman to testify is not enough methink buhari, tinubu and oshiomole should com and give their own testimony

supported!!!!! But instead of Tinubu, Oyegun should mount the witness box.

“It is only in Nigeria a Primary School Certificate Holder, an obioma (tailor) who cannot mend or sew his own kaki, and a social parasite".....

See finishing!

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and a governorship aspirant, Chief Blessing Agbombere has described the former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole as a tailor who could not sew his own clothes.

Agbomhere’s remark is linked to the attack launched by Oshiomhole against the former Governor of Central Bank, Prof. Charles Soludo on Friday in Lagos.

Oshiomhole had accused Soludo of wrongly allocating millions of dollars to two new generation banks shortly before the naira was devalued.

Oshiomhole made the counter accusation at the Vanguard Economic Discourse in Lagos on Friday after Soludo lashed President Muhammadu Administration when he highlighted some of the failures of the administration, particularly in terms of fiscal and monetary policies.

In a surprising development, Agbomhere who had recently told NAIJA CENTER NEWS that Oshiomhole is blackmailing the state governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, publicly tendered an unreserved apology to Soludo over what he described as Oshiomhole’s display of economic illiteracy.

Agbomhere said “After his sycophantic attempt to escort Mr President from London to Nigeria was busted, Oshiomhole has to find another way to announce to the President that he (Oshiomhole) is still waiting for ‘national assignment’ as SGF, COS or APC National Chair.

“I am sure no one has be bold enough to tell Oshiomhole that President Muhammadu Buhari does not patronize sycophants and people who are under investigation.

“It is only in Nigeria a Primary School Certificate Holder, an obioma (tailor) who cannot mend or sew his own kaki, and a social parasite who is accused of stealing about 232. 7 Billion Naira Edo People’s Monies can argue Economics Statistics with a Professor of Economics for desperation to get a plum government position in President Buhari Administration to sustain his luxurious lifestyle and continue his job of living off public treasury.

“While apologizing to Professor Charles Soludo for Adams’ frustration and display of illiteracy, we solicit him to help us beg Adams Oshiomhole to return our monies, as he (Oshiomhole) is not the bank of the people of Edo.”

Upon receiving the call, INEC Returning Officer for Etche/ OmumaFederal Constituency, Prof Shola Omotola stated that all collated results should be moved to the Port Harcourt office of INEC.
Soldiers of the Nigerian Army who stopped the declaration at Okehi moved the collated results alongside party agents and political leaders to Port Harcourt.

He said Rivers people will continue to resist all fraudulent attempts to manipulate election results. He declared that elections can only be won at the polling units and not through the swapping of result sheets by security agencies and INEC.
