kITATITA:
Yes I am very current with political and economic developments; you also quoted where I stated that the Senators dispute the claims that the SGF was not invited. No, the NJC did not suspend Judges based on interim report. NJC excused the Judges from sitting over cases to avoid perceived likelihood for bias and to avoid interference with their own cases. They are Judges, you know
So it is good to allow the SGF to continue while investigation on matter concerning his office if on going right

kITATITA:
Stupid_ Senators. How can they pass a resolution of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria based on Interim Report? And they did not exhaust all opportunity to hear from the accused person. Now they will have to do the same thing over again; this time procedurally. I read the widely criticized letter from the President. He said he could not act on their resolution because 1. It was an Interim Report 2. It was signed by three out of the nine members (The Senators disputed the number) 3. The accused was not invited to defend themselves (The Senators claim otherwise).
Did you listen to the news.

He was invited thrice but refuse to appear. What does that mean to you.

And moreso, if interrim report will make NJC to be forced to suapend judges then Babachair lawal muat be suspended to be prosecuted. What ia good for goose is also good for the gander

Politics › Is Buhari Really Fighting Corruption? - By Jaafar Jaafar by engineerboat(op): 2:34am On Jan 26, 2017
One imprecise impression we all have about the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is thinking that it’s ongoing loot recovery, modelled after the bravado of Abacha’s failed banks tribunal, is fight against corruption. No, it isn’t.

Why did I say this? The nation is trapped in a labyrinth of social malaise but the fixation is on a single issue. Nothing is working in Nigeria. Everything is in a state of disrepair. You cannot prevent corruption when a Level 8 civil servant in Abuja is earning N70,000 or so per month and when the minimum salary is still N20,000. How do you expect N20,000 to feed, cloth, shelter and transport person in Abuja (or any other city for that matter) for 30 days? In a country where public institutions are not functional, how can this crumb cover school fees and medical bills?

I suppose the messenger in the president’s office is highest on Grade Level 6, earning a monthly of about N28,000. He cannot live on this pittance without finding ways of making “ends” meet, either by hiding files or leaking confidential documents.

What has this administration done, as a way of fighting corruption, to change the life of a police constable earning N43,000 salary to stop taking bribes at checkpoints? How do you survive in Abuja on N43,000 without getting tempted to fraudulently enrich yourself?

How do you fight corruption when you cannot control the prices of kerosene and petrol? Did you increase the minimum wage when you jerked the price of petrol from N87 to N145? These are ways of fighting corruption. Make life easy for the people, tame inflation, improve the welfare of the people, revamp the economy, fix public institutions, etc. That is when you can exorcise the ghost of corruption. There is still prevalence of corruption in China, Malaysia, Russia, India, etc, but what do you hear from these countries? Economic growth!

The farcical side of the present administration’s “anti-corruption” war is shielding members of the president’s cabinet accused of corruption. I don’t care if Dasuki is jailed but it pains me seeing the present-day Dasukis walking free and hobnobbing with the president.

During the administration of Olusegun Obasanjo, which was perceived by Nigerians as one of the most corrupt administrations, there was arrest and prosecution of agents of the ruling party.

Despite our perception and vilification of Obasanjo, he, ironically, set the anti-corruption institutions we are today proud of. Obasanjo is not a saint, but he set example of his anti-corruption war on members of his cabinet, governors, party leaders, etc.

Have you, in your wildest dream, thought this government could support the impeachment of sitting APC governors in order to prosecute them the way Obasanjo supported the removal of late DSP Alamiesegha? You will say Buhari follows due process and rule of law, and so he will not take after Obasanjo. Now what manner of rule of law allows this government to fraudulently seek court orders to freeze a sitting governor’s bank accounts or withdraw the security of an opposition governor?

At least corrupt Obasanjo did remove his close friend, late Chief Sunday Afolabi, as minister of Internal Affairs and was charged by ICPC in December 2003 for collecting kickback in National ID Card contracts alongside his Labour and Productivity counterpart, Alhaji Husseini Akwanga; Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ms Turi Akerele; National Secretary of the PDP, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo; Minister of State for Internal Affairs, Dr. Mohammed Shata and; SAGEM S.A. representative in Nigeria, Mr. Niyi Adelakun. That was leading by example.

Under Buhari administration, there was budget fraud in both the executive and legislative branches. The president himself admitted this and promised to take action. But no severe action was taken yet against even the civil servants. There were fraudulent deals in the drastic reduction of MTN fine, there was Burj Al Buratai, there was corruption in the handling of refugee funds (the president himself admitted), there was corruption in forex deals, etc.

Even Jonathan, yes that whipping boy called Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, bowed to public pressure and sacked his Chief of Staff Mike Oghiadomhe for alleged involvement in kerosene subsidy and rice import waiver scams. The same Jonathan again fired two of his top ministers, Stella Odua and Professor Barth Nnaji, following allegations of corruption against them.

Actions and inactions of this administration shouldn’t be beyond reproach. The greatest support every patriotic citizen should give any government in power is none other than telling the government the truth.

Politics › Buhari SGF Clearance Letter by engineerboat(op):
This are the letter of clearance from PMB to senate,

1. The Letter that Buhari should have attached with his Travel/leave letter last week, but was only sent after PMB travel.

2. Who signed the letter.
3. So they have to use biro to write date, dear dinstinguish senate president.


And be that as it may, so this Government can also preach fair-hearing.

So DSS and EFCC cannot break into SGF and magu house and offices like a thief in the night.

AGF is now the right person to investigate SGF and Magu.

What is the difference between NJC investigation of The Judges and the resolution which you send DSS and EFCC to harrass the and latet forced them to be suspended by NJC.

PMB we are watching, but what goes around come around.

Nigeria Senate and NASS nigerians are watching your action on this irregularities going on.

What can be more corruption than this fraud been perpetrated from the seat of power.

Politics › PDP To Shehu: Hide Your Head In Shame Over Comments On Southern Kaduna Killings by engineerboat(op): 2:53pm On Jan 24, 2017
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has taken a swipe at the Senior Special Assistance to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, telling him to hide his head in shame over his comments on Southern Kaduthat Shehu had, during a programme on Channel’s TV said that the killings in Southern Kaduna is partly the fault of the PDP because it is the only Senatorial District in the North West with PDP Senator. In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye and made available to newsmen on Monday, the party said it would call on President Buhari to relieve Shehu of his appointment if he does not tender an apology to Nigerians over his statement. “Garba Shehu, Hide Your Head In Shame Over Your Comment On Southern Kaduna Killings.”

"We condemn in totality the statement credited to the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity (SSA), Garba Shehu, on Channels Television today, Monday, January 23, 2017 wherein he shamelessly alleged that the killings in Southern Kaduna is partly the fault of the PDP because it is the only Senatorial District in the North West with PDP Senator. How sad!”

“We are baffled that such a callous, irresponsible and insensitive statement could come from a person who speaks for the President of Nigeria. This shows the extent to which every issue in the Country today is viewed from the APC’s and the Presidency’s extremely narrow and jaundiced partisan political prism.”

“Is Garba Shehu inferring that the hapless people of southern Kaduna were singled out for genocide because they elected a PDP senator? Or that the People invited such mindless violence upon themselves by choosing to be different in a sea of APC domination?”

“Or is the Southern Kaduna massacre really an action to teach the people a bitter lesson for voting PDP and not APC? It is really unimaginable that any reasonable person can make such a reckless statement.” “One really wonders when the APC would finally accept responsibility for its incompetence and maladministration and end the blame game.”

“They have spent the last two years doing nothing but blame the PDP for their woes. They will from all indications, spend the next two years doing the same. May be that’s what they were elected to do after all. Even then, they need not descend to the gutter as Garba Shehu did on Channels TV this morning.”

“It is high time those in authority learned that we cannot reduce everything to partisan politics. You do not play politics with the lives of millions of people. That’s exactly what APC Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el Rufai and President Buhari have been doing with the lives of the people of Southern Kaduna.” “Beyond politics, we are all accountable to God almighty. We once again call for an international inquiry into the Southern Kaduna massacre. We have little faith that those at the helm of affairs at the State and National levels will do justice in the matter.”

“Finally we call on Garba Shehu to tender an unreserved apology to all Nigerians for his unguarded, reckless and irresponsible statement failing which we would call on President Buhari to relieve him of his duties.”

“Long live the people of Kaduna State and in particular, the Southern Kaduna constituents!” “Long live the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)!! Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!”

Boss, the problem is that the issue of food has to do with health and "stomach" preference but unlike Ideology that affects our behavior and disposition
Fine,

So what do you say about this. “bleeding-heart liberal” vs a “hard-hearted conservative” couples

Remember also that “different political views” doesn’t mean “wrong political views”

Both want better things for their state/country, they want things to be good, safe place to raise their families and pass on to their grandchildren. Liberals and Conservatives actually need each other for the country to function. A car will not function without both a gas pedal and brakes, and it’s best to keep both a left hand and a right hand on the steering wheel.

A marriage in which both partners have learned how to love each other despite their different political views can be stronger than a marriage between two Conservatives, or two Liberals. "Don't put all your eggs in one pot"

My Boss,

on the bold, it is not something that is fun a bit. Humans are shaped by their ideologies, people with ideological differences usually set a boundary and lines. I am sure a man/woman wouldn't want their other half to "always watch it".
Couples are meant to be ONE, If they can't share simple ideology or agree to share one, then what makes them couple?


I understand your point and I must admit that it is "healthy" if both aren't to the extreme BUT never ideal/desirable.
Here is an analogy, Husband who does not like a kind of soup, but the woman who will want to satisfy her man will not coop that soup for the man, but decide to cook it separately for herself alone. what do you say about that. does that mean there is no agreement between the two of them

It is not automatic to be, man.

And how discussing how to relate with people in the society, automatically mean both should be in the same party

Infact it is not compulsory that husband and wife must have the same political ideology.

"Putting all your egg in one basket", because my Husband is in party "A" i must be in party A, even though i am not convinient with it, whether what they do in the said party A i right or wrong, that amount to putting your egg in one basket.

Otherwise he would not be talking of "eggs in one basket" nor would he talk about having fun at the end of discussions on party differences.

Not necessarily stereo-type to be, the fact there is that Both partner can have different political views, infact the two partners cannot put all their eggs in one basket.

Politics › BREAKING: Fayose Becomes PDP Governors Forum Chairman by engineerboat(op):
Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, is the new chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors’ forum.

He succeeds Olusegun Mimiko, whose tenure as governor of Ondo, ends in February.

Addressing journalists at the end of the forum’s meeting in Abuja, Seriake Dickson, governor of Bayelsa state, said Fayose was chosen because he is the most senior governor in the opposition party.

Fayose was first elected governor in 2003, but was impeached before the end of his tenure. He contested the 2014 election and defeated Kayode Fayemi, the then incumbent.

Fayemi is now the minister of solid minerals.

Fayose described his emergence as a call to service, promising not to let the party down.

He also vowed to “pull down the wall of Jericho” surrounding the party.

Fayose promised to mobilise PDP members across the nation of the 2019 general election. He assured the party that states lost in previous elections would be reclaimed.

Politics › Accidental Discharge: Jonathan Faulty And Fake Equipments: Lai Mohammed by engineerboat(op):
I cannot but said that This Administration is out for the wrong thing in this country.

Earlier in the week the NAF Jet Bomb the IDP camp, a civilian community in Rann, Borno State by a Nigerian Air Force jet, causing deaths and injuries.

After the incidence the Government began to release various statements to describe the unfortunate incidence.
1. Mr Lai Mohammed said, it was accidental discharge.
2. Buhari pleads for calm, says it’s a “regrettable operational mistake”

3. The NAF who dropped the bomb said. Confirming the incident at a news conference held at the Theatre Command Headquarters of Operation Lafiya Dole yesterday, Major-General Lucky Irabor said upon receiving an intelligence report that some Boko Haram elements were regrouping in Kala Balge Local Government Area of Borno State, he quickly ordered men of the Air Force to address the problem. He regretted that the strike was conducted in the area, unfortunately locals and other civilians were killed alongside remnants of insurgents, who were regrouping. “This morning (yesterday), we received reports about gathering of Boko Haram terrorists somewhere in Kala Balge Local Government area of Borno State. We got a coordinate and I directed that the air should go to address the problem. “Unfortunately, the strike was conducted but it turned out that the locals somewhere in Rann were affected. “We are yet to get the details of the casualties. But we heard that some civilians were killed, others were wounded and we also have two of our soldiers that were also wounded. Among some that were wounded were local staff of the Medecines Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders) as well as ICRC,” Irabor said. Kala Balge is east and about 180 kilometres drive from Maiduguri, the state capital. Also confirming the incident, military spokesperson, Brigadier-General Rabe Abubakar confirmed the incident but explained that it was an error that the military deeply regrets. He explained that soldiers got information of movement of Boko Haram members and deployed ground troops and air cover to tackle the terrorists. It was the air support that mistakenly dropped the bomb, he said. It was further learned that the state government has already ordered all hospitals in Maiduguri to be prepared to receive and promptly treat the injured. Also, an International Red Cross, ICRC, helicopter has been deployed to the camp to evacuate the wounded to the various hospitals.

Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/01/fatal-error-100-died-air-force-bombs-idp-camp/
But as soon as the Survivors began to recount their horror stories, that the Jet actually bombed the camp three times, which cannot be said to be accidental again.

Mr Lai Mohhammed swing into action to turn the news around (CHANGE THE INFORMATION); lo and behold, The minister said it was as a result of "FAULT AND FAKES EQUIPMENT WHICH JONATHAN BOUGHT FOR THE NAF, WHICH ARE VERY BAD"

The question now is
1. So Mr Lai Mohammed finally accept that Jonathan actually bought some jet.
2. When did PMB buy new Jet, and from where.
3. The NAF had come out clearly stating the cause of the said accidental bombing, why is Mr Lai Mohammed turning around The information (CHANGE)
4. NAF know that the Jet are fake as claimed by Mr Lai Mohammed and they still went ahead to use them.
4. The same Fake Jet is the ones they are taken to Gambia to smoke out Jammeh. (I hope their will be no accidental discharge in Gambia)

The accidental bombing was a result of the faulty and fake equipments the GEJ administration bought for the Airforce which is very bad.

Brother i read the Bible and i understand what it contains, Christians are leaving what they ought to do to put their hands in what does not concerns them.

Persecutions of Christians had been from the beginning and it will not stop till Christ come, take it or leave it.


The Ottoman Turks, having recently entered World War I on the side of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, were worried that Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire would offer wartime assistance to Russia. Russia had long coveted control of Constantinople (now Istanbul), which controlled access to the Black Sea -- and therefore access to Russia's only year-round seaports.

By 1914, Ottoman authorities were already portraying Armenians as a threat to the empire's security. Then, on the night of April 23-24, 1915, the authorities in Constantinople, the empire's capital, rounded up about 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders. Many of them ended up deported or assassinated.

So how do you advise a christian who was rounded up by these nomads and was about to be suyalized. Kneel down and pray like Stephen in the Bible? You lost me completely here. I pray u will not encounter these bastards.
May I ask you, can we live our lives differently the way the early church live theirs, do we have another bible, do we have another Jesus, do we christian so to say have another religion.

we are quick to tell the other religion to allow their god fight instead of killing for him, yet the christian today are quick to say, we will revenge for God.

Am not saying you should not defend yourself. But carrying Gun, cutlass, club and facing satanist who have nothing to loose even if he died in the process he believes there await rewards for him.

But as a christian what did you have to gain, when in the process of fighting for God and trying to help God, because that is what I can decipher from your submission.

Sir Tomakint, Jesus Said to Peter who wanted to kill for Him that
"Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
