Nitah1:
I'm still amazed that people really believed that Magu is a thief and corrupt....

This is the work of politician who are directly or indirectly affected by the war against corruption waged by Magu.....we have heard their story,soon we shall hear he's.

Thank you and may God bless you immensely. Our youths do not understand that corruption has fought and defeated Magu.

Very soon, the world would know why and how he fell.

MrPolitics:
If this is true then he won’t be impeached.
There are 26 seats in the house. 18 seats would be needed to impeach him.
If 9 members dissociate themselves, then they would have 17 seats at most and that’s not enough

Good observation, but they need 2/3 of the number "present and voting" - that means 2/3 of those present at the particular seating.

There is no house of assembly where they have 100% attendance.

omenka:
Ibos don't steal. They are saintly. Uzodimma is acting the script of his master, bullion van. We can not be deceived.

Nonsense Lagos Ibadan news.

On the contrary, your leaders have been stealing big from time immemorial. They have a particular knack of stealing communal funds.

Read the narrative below and weep for your people.

NWAFOR ORIZU: CROOK, CONVICT TURNED SENATE PRESIDENT
Dr. Abyssinia Akweke Nwafor Orizu (1920-1999) being a crook should never have held any political office had Nigeria been a proper country.

In 1946, Orizu presided over a new form of heartless fraud. Families and whole villages in the East sold their possessions to send a single student from their village to university because like Awolowo, they were passionate about the benefit of a good education.

Orizu, a PhD holder, formed an agency, American Council on African Education (ACAE) to process these village students' admission into American universities. He collected the maintenance funds from their parents and other sponsors and diverted them partly or totally to other personal and business schemes.

In 1947, two prominent African-America
ns Alain Locke and George Schulyer resigned over Orizu’s conduct of affairs.
Horace Mann Bond, the African-American president of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania who provided Orizu’s agency with many tuition-free scholarships complained regularly and bitterly about Orizu’s failure to financially support the students whom Orizu had placed in his school.

The 32-year-old Orizu was found out and on the 2nd of February 1953, he was arrested.
Nnamdi Azikiwe, Mbonu Ojike, and Kola Balogun went to bail him out. On 9th February, his brother Joseph Onyekusi Orizu was arrested in Gusau and taken to Port Harcourt.

On 12th February both brothers were charged in a statement that read:
“That you between May 1, 1946, and December 31, 1951, at Port Harcourt, in the Port Harcourt Magisterial District, conspired together with other persons unknown to defraud such person as might be induced to deposit money with you as officers and agents of a body known as the American Council on African Education Incorporated, and you thereby committed an offence punishable under the Criminal code.”

When their lawyer told the court that Orizu was an honourable man, a PhD holder, a royal Prince in Nnewi, a member of the regional legislature, and also Azikiwe’s nominee for Minister of Local Government, Magistrate Dickson retorted:
''This court is not a department under the Government and it is not subject to any political party.”

Orizu was later jailed for 7 years. On Tuesday 22nd September 1953, he arrived at the Lagos Prison by train under escort to serve his term.

At the House of Commons debate of April 29, 1953, James Johnson the MP for Kingston upon Hull West berated Oliver Lyttelton, the Secretary of Colonies for taking so long to arrest the Orizu brothers:
“Is not it somewhat disgraceful that it has taken so long to investigate this case of defrauding parents and students? Hence allowing him to cause untold hardship to his own people?''

The logic behind the rule was that the government was a sacred job; if crooks were allowed to determine the destiny of the people, the people would suffer indefinitely.

Mbonu Ojike, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ozumba Mbadiwe started to entrench the false narrative that Orizu was convicted by the British colonial government not for embezzlement but as a revenge for his fiery anti-colonial speech given at the 1947 Enugu Coal riots rally.
Never mind that more important figures such as H.O. Davies also gave fiery speeches at the rally too but were not fraudsters hence not fated for conviction by the colonial government. But in the case of Orizu, colonialism became the excuse for a crook to be turned into a national hero.
Azikiwe made Orizu whole by nominating him unopposed to represent Nnewi in the Federal elections of 1959 that ushered in self-rule.

The only courageous man in Afonjaland.

Its not easy to see a yoruba man who is fiercely loyal to the south.
I give it to fayose and maybe Obasanjo

The person above me is an imbe

Loyal to the south? What type of statement is this?

Other political leaders in South West are loyal to the South just like the Igbo were loyal to the south in 1959, 1964, 1979, 1993 and 1999.

Some kids (from the sad part of Nigeria) on this platform sure do not know their political history. They think the political history of Nigeria started in 2015.

My advice: ask your elders, they'll tell you how the sad part of Nigeria treated the south before tide changed in 2015.

WATCHOVER:
This is not like the previous elections you have been witnessing, with this election you will know the Power of PDP is strong

Like PDP was very strong in kogi and bayelsa.

The truth you want to wish away is this; PDP is a dying party that is always waiting for their allies at the supreme court to award electoral victories to them based purely on technicalities rather than the wish of the people as was witnessed in bayelsa and zamfara states.

[quote author=fayluv1 post=91374263]Nothing to fear brother. I stopped using inhalar years ago when somebody introduced me to these cheap drugs. At 1st i take it morning n evening but now i only take it when i find it difficult to breath. Ventoline, franol n predesolone. When is serious i take 2 of each but i usually take 1 each.[/quote

This is good enough. However you should always have an inhaler handy in case......

Thelimitbreaker:
I'm not clearly supporting anyone here. I'm only isinuating that rigging will be taken to it's peak in the forth-coming elections.... Or na lie I talk?

No be lie o my person. Dem go rig tire.

Thelimitbreaker:
We are earnestly waiting for the results of the Edo heavy-weight match, let's see who will deliver the most coma-inducing knockout punch. Obaseki strongly knows that if he doesn't win this, Iyamu will probe the living day-light out of his administration while Oshiomole knows that this is his best chance to finally crush Obaseki. All rigging machineries will be highly deployed for their victories. The battle-line is fully drawn. Let the best people man win conclusively.

.......and you think a ruling party would allow opposition win a stand alone election.

For you to nurse the hope of obaseki winning, you are not being "objective". Even, if a rout (like in Kogi) is not possible, Osun temple (inconclusive) will be deployed.

Whatever way you look at it, Obaseki is an outgoing governor. It's not the fault of APC, it's what they learnt from OBJ/ Maurice Iwu elections.

Peacemaker5128:
My question is has Tinubu rule any south east before? Why this hatred from the pigs?

They hold him responsible for the loss of the drunken master in the 2015 elections. Meanwhile, the major causalities, (GEJ and the south south) have moved on with their lives but they will always remain behind with a burning hatred for a man who does not even care about their existence.

Like they helped Atiku to achieve his life ambition of ruling this country. Useless jokers.

A party that is so weak that they only depend on crisis in other parties to thrive.

The weakened status of PDP will make them lose Edo like they did in Bayelsa but this time around, Mary Odili and her gang will not be able to help them because if the direct primary APC had.

Nackzy:
There's still problem, i know Tunibu won't agree, Oshiomole won't agree there's still small fire on the mountain

How can Tinubu disagree with a decision he was part of. A politically conscious person would easily see the names of Tinubu's men on that caretakers list.

I said it on several occasions. You these people do not know politics yet you dabble into it.

Anyway, events in the coming days would reveal a lot.

Anuoluwa1234:
Ajimobi!!!!. Hummmm, na so person dey die hoo .
This man, shook oyo state no be small, his mode of conduct, the way addresses ppl, even elders chaiii, believe me no be for here at all .
Hummm, it remains him and his works now, RIP to him hoo , constituted authority himself .
LAUTECH, Public secondary sch students, and primary 6 students can never forget the wondrous works he did in their lives , even public sch teachers hummm.
It is well, hope the rest will learn, but they wont

They don't speak ill of the dead. No matter your age, you will die one day. Would you want people to talk ill about you?

Afospecialk:
The children of hate have started another 5% inconsequential analysis again



Tinubu silent speaks volumes for the wise

Go and tell your 5% inconsequential people to go and learn politics so that they will not remain slave under PDP forever

A very good advice but will they take it. They lack political depth and this has been the reason why the whole country, including members of PDP are taking them for a ride.

Since they do not know, APC is now firmly in the hands of the defunct ACN and CPC as the influence of remaining npdp members have been whittled down.

How some "Ipobian analysts" can not understand this is a mystery.

With the turn of events and the calibre of those in attendance at the NEC meeting it should not be difficult to understand that it had the backing of all major stakeholders, BAT included.

Would they understand that? No, because their sense of reasoning is beclouded by hatred.

nairavsdollars:
All Tinubu's boys have betrayed him
Fashola
Aregbesola
Fayemi
Osinbajo
and now
Oyetola
SAD!

What is the meaning of this?

Unigrad:
You get PVC to vote for Edo State or are you the INEC that will decide the election?
I don't see anything that can stop Obaseki from not winning.

Yes, I agree with you. Nothing can stop him from NOT winning and he is not winning. He is not winning because he is not popular.

seunmsg:
The deed as been done already. Obaseki is in a very weak position and it’s obvious he’s very vulnerable to series of litigations over his candidature. Even if he wins, there is already a good ground to get him disqualified.

He will not win. You can take that to the bank.

Jostoman:
leave them ICC is waiting for them after their tenure.

What did the ICC do to your darling daddy, Obasanjo for the love he showed to Odi community?

Anyway, it is possible you were then a pupil of your community primary school.

IduNaOba:
Igbo Amaka.
Naija go still apologize later later.

For the senseless killing of Nationalists in Nigeria while leaving your people free?

For setting the country 50 years back in 1966?

Check history well, you are the ones who need to apologize, genuine apology please

SouthNigerian:
This people funny o... Is it their stepdown?

Do you see grammar? "Is it their stepdown?"

Nairalanders, una dey try.

Muhylonaire:
Lmao

Confused people...
Can we say this is the beginning to the end of APC?

You keep saying "end of APC" "end of APC". Don't you know that the people are no more with your " darling PDP"?

No matter what, PDP will never rule this country again.

That is the normal thing to do. That is what any sane person would do.

Pollze:
Can this be true?

If this is true, then the floor is now set for a whole world of litigations because the APC NWC that has carried on by disregarding Giadom's court order will now accept that it's a serious issue

We are watching


Vote in opinion polls at Pollze. Check my signature.

Since you asked, it is not true. The Op who posted this story deliberately misinformed the forum and I have reported him for a breach of rule eight.

It is true that the Secretariat has been sealed by the police and that a meeting will be held with the NWC this evening. Nobody
is in the secretariat. Giadom has not moved near the secretariat for days. He is no where near the Secretariat as I type this

If you ask me, it is a victory for progressivism because after the meeting, enemies of the party will be shamed because the storm will be truly over.

pretydiva:
So no more freedom of speech. I'm in shock

That is it. Most of you children in indomine generation do not know that freedom of speech does not give you the right to defame the character of anybody- private individual or public figure.

You have been taught about rights and obligations of citizens in civic education classes but to listen, na lie.

He will defend whatever he has posted in the public space - through his Facebook account. A lesson for others like him on Nairaland.

moderatedguy:
Mark my word APC Edo candidate wud be disqualified at the end of the day if they dont do the needful.

Yes, they would. Today at Abuja, the order given to the suspended Asst.secretary to act as a chairman would be withdrawn upon a request from the initiator of the case.

Just a few hours more.

NextGovernor:
That's if the Governor have the right numbers to impeach him in the house. B4 he made such decision, he must have done his home work. If he doesnt have the number, he would have resign to avoid embarrassment before defecting.

Remember Akerodolu worked against his party men in 2019 which caused problem in Ondo. So I think Akerodolu doesnt even have the number and backing to remove the deputy.

Thanks for this informed and reasonable comment. I believe Aketi does not have the number. He was busy fighting the hierarchy of his party and he played into the hands of the deputy governor.

I'm happy he I'd being taught a lesson from within.

moderatedguy:
Shut up u stupid idiot. ur leader Buhari is a lifeless gworo chewing Mumu,just like APC members and supporters like u.I will send ur message to my father in his grave.He might be visiting u Tonite to discuss issues.

Sorry that your dad has passed on

If he were to be alive, your life would not be so miserable. That is why you are so uncouth, I'll mannered and irresponsible.

Next time you don't say humans who are far more educated than you are mumus, you don't use foul languages on people so that they would be forced to accord you a little respect even though you are not worthy of such.

As for politics, I'm done discussing with you. Events that will take place in a few hours/days would prove to you that APC is on course.

moderatedguy:
U re just a confused idiot.Has ur senile Buhari done better.....at least GEJ had control over his family.

Your father is a confused idiot and he had transfered the idiocy to you through his genes.

GEJ was able to control his party yet hundred of PDP members campaigned openly for Buhari in the North. Check record and confirm. He was in control and he could not do anything about it.

What you are witnessing in APC currently is a direct attempt to rid the party of black legs who will work against the party in future elections but you pigs can not see that.

You are so politically immature and that is why you are where you are politically -frustrated - third class citizens and inconsequential entities.

By their comments, you shall know them.

moderatedguy:
Mumu was GEJ in charge PDP mainstream then......

That confirms him to be a DUNCE. With all the executive power he had as a sitting president. An illiterate (like you) is claiming that he was not in control of the mainstream of his party, tell me; who was?

He simply lost out because the electorate deserted his party not because some people left the party.

Mejemeje0404:
Even if Giadom is the one that will forward name to INEC,as it is now.he is duty bound to forward Ize-Iyamu's name as the only remaining aspirant under the APC.

Don't be too sure sir. The game plan of his faction of the party is to ensure that APC does not present candidates for both ondo and Edo state elections.

Knowing fully well that they can not control the party mechanism, they have decided to destroy the party before decamping enmass to the party of their choice just like what npdp did in 2014.

They will fail though because the owners of APC are not like GEJ. Wait and see the response of the mainstream APC in days.

VirusComing:
Last month my friend who was having symptoms of covid19, went to the nearest testing center where they collected his blood sample and contact details. They told him to go home, that they will contact him once his test result is out. He waited for one week, two weeks, they didn't contact him. He had to rely on self medication to treat himself and got better a week plus.

One month later (early June) when he thought everything was over (the corona virus scare), he received a call from NCDC Edo state that he is covid19 positive according to the result of his test. They arranged the time and day they will be coming to pick him up. He was told that if he should flee he would be place on police wanted list.

When they came to pick him up, no matter how many times he told them he no longer has symptoms of covid19 and was already OK, they did not listen him. They bundled him to the isolation center. My friend is currently at the isolation center as I type, despite the fact that he had long recovered from whatever illness he had.

....and I say you're a liar. You are one of those deliberately spreading falsehood about this disease on social media.

The sample collected for testing is not blood but nasal swab (which is collected from the throat and nasal cavity. So, your friend was never tested for covid 19.

Stop misinforming people, corona virus is real, covid 19 is real.

helinues:
Are Nigeria youths truly future leaders of tomorrow?

These are not Nigerian youth and therefore have no hope in the leadership of our country. They have pledged an allegiance to an online republic. I hope you understand me.

MASTERCHIEF0847:
His family affair is not part of politics so why bring it into this?
Some of you just lack home training walahi. I don't support Oshiomole but i mean saying this kind of things, imagine if it's your mother someone is saying these things about will you be happy?
Freedom of speech should not mean license to be stupid on purpose.

I have said it several times that this forum is filled with illiterate pigs who do not understand how to be decent on a forum of this nature.

Just imagine the comment you quoted; it can only emanate from a child who clearly lacks a decent home training and who also does not understand the use of words.

They will be talking about freedom of speech while forgetting that people must take responsibility for all their actions / inactions - including whatever you say or write. This is because as you have the freedom to say what you wish, others too have the right to their dignity, (including public servants) and they must do all within their capacity to protect it.

Unfortunately, Nairaland is full of such puerile and ignorant members. We have to make do with them until the owners of the forum decide to do the absolutely needed weeding of the forum.
