arent you a girl! how do you get that picture

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

BetaThings:
Quite right!
Z-o-n-i-n-g!
Dead on one hand; alive on the other.
Assassinated when necessary; resurrected when desired!

EzeUche!:
When did you become a moderator?  What matter of bribery is this?

Kobojunkie:


Does anyone else out there have information on how one can successfully contact the many agencies/ministries for information? Anyone who has actually tried to contact any of the institutions to date would probably have figured out that majority are really not available via the email addresses they claim.
We finally have the opportunity to know, if you have the information please make it available so we can all go head on and attack our problem in Nigeria once and for all.

Adejoro74:
From now till the nearest future, it sucks to be Yoruba TRIBALISTIC AND [i]ZONING[/i]LISTIC!.

OAM4J:
For where? me am happy about it o. No one will talk about any zoning when we put Fashola forward for presidency come 2015.

What is there to gain for speakership sef? What benefits did SW get from Bankole's speakership?

efisher:
Read in between the lines before you celebrate the "end" of zoning.

I WILL ATTEMPT TO ANSWER YOU LINE BY LINE:

1. Which geopolitical zone is Tambuwal from?
SOUTH-WEST

2. Which geopolitical zone was Yardua from?
NORTH-WEST

3. What deal did GEJ and OBJ cut with the North to allow GEJ emerge as president?
UNDISCLOSED (BUT DON'T THINK ITS TO GIVE THEM SPEAKER OR ELSE HE WOULDN'T HAVE FOLLOWED HIS WIFE LIKE WOMAN WRAPPER TO IMPOSE MULIKAT ON PDP)

4. Do you really think the PDP leadership was caught unawares considering the whooping support Tambuwal got?
YES! A DAY TO THE VOTING IN THE HALLOW (BUT HOLLOW) CHAMBER, GEJ LODGED THE MEMBERS IN EXQUSITE HOTELS WITH BRIBES TO VOTE MULIKAT

5. Did GEJ and OBJ honestly believe the other reps would support Mulikat?
YES! IF PDP HAS SUPPORTED A HAIRDRESSER IN PATRICIA ETTEH, WHY NOT A QUALIFIED LAWYER IN MULIKAT

6. Which geopolitical zone advocated for the regular zoning formula and why?
IGBOS ADVOCATED TO IT; REASON BEING THAT THEY FELT CHEATED BY GIVING THEM ORDINARY SGF WHICH IS NOT AN ELECTIVE POST

7. Which candidate would serve the bellies of the floor members best?
FIRST TAMBUWAL, SECOND MULIKAT, THIRD AJIBOLA MUIRINA. IN THAT ORDER, AN AJIBOLA WHO IS A SWORN GODSON OF OBJ (WHO HATES THE SATANIC PAY) WOULD HAVE CRASHED IT DOWN. BUT TAMBUWAL WON'T ! BUT THIS IS MY VIEW. IT MAY TURN THE OTHER WAY ROUND.

8. Why has ACN been having romantic affairs with PDP lately?
BECAUSE ASIWAJU THE LEADER OF ACN HAS PAID HIS DUES AND EVERYONE IS NOW BEGGING HIM FOR THEIR SUPPORT. IT WILL PROFIT FASHOLA TO BE HUMBLE TO HIM AN GET HIS BLESSING TO BE PRESIDENT. BECAUSE IN THE NEXT 2 YEARS, ROCHAS, SAMBO AND EL-RUFAI WILL START COMING TO ASIWAJU FOR HIS SUPPORT FOR PRESIDENCY.

9. Who did the ACN members support and why didn't they vote for a South Westerner?
SO THAT PDP WOULD BE FOREVER DEAD IN THE SOUTH-WEST. DON'T ASK THIS THE SECOND TIME!

10. Is Tambuwal not a PDP member? 
YES BUT A REBELLIOUS MEMBER. SO HE IS MORE OF AN OPPOSITION IN PDP

[s]I honestly do not think these things happened overnight. I believe it is all part of the big plan. Compensation politics and zoning are still very much alive. These boys have only just adopted new strategies to solve their problems.[/s]
YOUR CONCLUSION IS GROSSLY INCORRECT AND A DISTORTION OF THE FACT ON GROUND. ZONING HAS BEING NAILED. THE COFFIN HAS BEEN SEALED. SO #1,2,3,4TH CAN ALL BE FROM SOUTH-EAST FOR ALL I CARE. JUST AS 2,3,4 ARE NOW FROM THE NORTH! ZONING IS DEAD!! HALLALUYA!!

PStylish:
@All
Shame on the Yorubas.We are now the laughing stock of all.Dont console yourselves with all those we dont like mainstream crap.Nigeria is a center-based country.
I hate the ACN for betraying the south west. They acted selfishly. Bleeding b.astar.ds!!!
I hate GEJ and his wife for anointing a woman in a highly chauvinistic environment. Muraina Ajibola would have done better.If I were not Yoruba, I would never vote a woman to be my speaker.
I am not happy.

Wizardofoz:
If you go off tangent again, I will m/a/s/tu/rba/te non stop all day long. Please dont do this to me.
I am trying, but please quit going off tangents, makes you come off as though you were suffering from some mental issues

Wizardofoz answered: I bet ya. The "buck" does stop at GEJ's table, including crimes committed by the EFCC in their attempt to make Bankole answer for his crimes, No?

Wizardofoz:
1. Corruption is universal. Corruption in societies, being a part of informal politics, is inevitable. This does not mean that it is acceptable, that it should not be fought. On the contrary. Corruption is as old as human civilization and its forms have been constantly developed and refined. Just like other forms of economic white-collar crime corruption always occurs without automatically being linked to the decay of a state or the decline of moral standards.

2. "Last summer, the current president of the German parliament, Norbert Lammert from the ruling CDU party, even made it clear that the parliament has no intention in tightening the paragraph dealing with bribery of parliamentarians.
Why are German parliamentarians hesitant? They fear investigations without prosecutions. Germany has a rather lax immunity law and a simple investigation can ruin political careers. “Why risk this?”, think many parliamentarians."

3. What is your point? Are you insinuating that fighting corruption = bringing Nigeria under servitude? LOL

4. Please, i am having problems following your train of thought, help me understand you better.

Wizardofoz:
True. He is not the only one meeting Obama. Obama has a packed schedule this week meeting Angela Merkel on Tuesday, GEJ on Wednesday and another leader on Thursday. I assume Angela Merkel has ordered the Speaker of Germany arrested just so to please Obama?

Wizardofoz:
[s]Our biggest problem isnt leadership, we have a very demented and stoooooooopid citizenry, including people like Enyojo[/s]

Very unfortunate. Nigerian universities have failed us all.

Wizardofoz:
You rush to conclusions too early.

Sometimes, it is better to use your head, instead of your hormones. Consciousness is a choice. I can look a a glass of water and say: "That's a glass of water" while someone else might look at it and say: "That's a wonderful piece of glass work" and someone else might say: "It is a divine creation." The ability to realize that none of those reasons posted on this thread thus far are right is called consciousness and it enables us to be more tolerant and aware of what we know and how we decide what we chose to believe and consider

Choose to live a more intelligent life, instead of allowing your hormones to make decisions for you.

BTW, enough of you using big fonts. Are you that insecure?

In response to criticism, the IG of police then ordered the withdrawal of Bankole's police protection.

A source within the presidency said Jonathan, who is due to be received this Wednesday at the White House, did not want the baggage of appearing to American officials to be continuing the tradition of protecting Nigeria's major corrupt officials.

The source said that Jonathan then instructed the IG of police and the DG of the State Security Service to immediately withdraw Bankole's security detail.

Kilode?!:
^^ They don't have to be in a Council of State to do ANY of those things you listed. Advisers and leaders abound and there is no evidence to suggest that these people are wise or capable of giving great advice anyway.
I still can't undestand why some folks believe we need to keep the same crop of people in the corridors of power all through their lifes. BTW their influence goes beyond mere powerless advice, several links and examples had been given to show that they are more than ceremonial, these people are very influential.

There must be something cultural here I'm not keying into. I think it's worth researching for those who are so inclined, might explain a lot of our problems.
