Why would they reject him? They must accept him with force, I think they said Tinubu is the best so let them face it. It is their cup of tea, he has be doing the business of imposition in the party for long and still my fellow party member still see him as all in all of ACN so they must accept any candidate Tinubu bring forward that is a good democracy hurrraaayyy pls Mr Tinubu please get more candidate and impose them plsss. Correct rubbish and nonsense!!!!!!! IMAO!!!!!!!!!!

@ Enyojo
Loosen up will ya?
What's wrong with what haka just posted?if you must ask for a thread to be deleted,you MUST show us how it has violated the forum rules and not just because it's not in sync with your anti-establishment posture

@ haka
You have shown that you're a realist and very pragmatic,I give you my fedora hat salute

lukkie:

Na wa o! You can never satisfy human beings. What is wrong in this for God's sake? You guys are just jealous.
@Seun
The appointment is of mutual benefit to both. Okorocha already has a lot of goodwill in this country, except you haven't been following his story.
Kanu is in a very good position to advise the state in sports cos of his grass-to-grace story and global exposure. And who better to take advantage of you than your state. Haba!
Kudos, Rochas Okorocha.

Pharoh:

This is definitely wrong as football does not equal to competence in sports generally.

adejoro74.:

Buahaha! Finally the zombie ACN people are waking up to the selfishness of Tinubu. I dey laugh oh!!!!

His ascent to office was like his fall from grace: sudden.

Seun:

I agree with you on the policy, but I think you got the solution backwards. Sanusi/CBN are not trying to push Nigerians towards a cashless economy; that's just a random justification added after the fact. They are trying to reduce the cost of managing cash, i.e. the cost of replacing worn out naira notes. The CBN constantly has to replace naira notes when they get worn out, and it costs a lot.

To achieve that, they can push towards higher denomination notes. For example, if N10,000 notes are available, and I want to withdraw 150k, that will be just 15 notes. In 200 naira notes, that will be 750 notes. The cost of replacing those 750 N200 notes when they get worn out is 50 times the cost of replacing 15 N10000 notes, so it's going to be cheaper to make higher denomination notes available for large transactions.

Instead of doing that, the CBN would rather impose hardship on traders because they refuse to understand that the inconvenience this will cause to traders all over the country (and their customers, i.e. all of us) is a cost too. It's not a financial cost, but it's a huge economic cost. They need to understand that financial costs are not the only costs to be considered. You cannot create value by stifling markets.

The first and only Nigerian "pastor" to speak from both sides of his mouth,make fake prophecies and also lied that God asked him to run with Buhari for presidency:Tunde Bakare

Your anti-opposition disppposition sucks!

Maybe i'm wrong bt was it nt this cjn dt hurriedly swore himself in?

Outgoing Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Idris Legbo Kutigi, will on Thursday swear-in his designated successor, Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu.

He will also swear in Justice Isa Ayo Salami as President of the Court of Appeal.

A statement by the Secretary of the National Judicial Council (NJC), Danladi Halilu, said the appointments were made by President Umaru Yar’Adua on the recommendation of the NJC.

The ceremony will take place at the Supreme Court complex at 11am.

Former Supreme Court Justice Kayode Eso supported the action yesterday.

Eso said: "Ordinarily and traditionally, there is no need for the taking of oath for the office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN)."

According to Eso, once the appointment of a person as the CJN has been approved by the National Assembly, there is no need for any oath-taking.

He described such oath-taking as illegal, adding that "many people do not appreciate what the Constitution says on such matters."

Some lawyers however expressed divergent views on the issue.

Activist lawyer Femi Falana said if Justice Kutigi swears-in Justice Katsina-Alu during office hours on Thursday when he is due for retirement, there would be two Chief Justices, contrary to the provisions of the Constitution.

Falana said: "It is hoped that the outgoing Chief Justice will not lend his weight to the serial breaches of the constitution

Didier Drogba 

As you read this, highlife singer, J.Martins, is already in Nice, France, where he has been contracted to perform at the wedding of Chelsea FC star striker, Didier Drogba, and his wife, Lalla Diakite. The wedding holds Sunday but the Good or Bad crooner left Nigeria Thursday morning. J.Martins is the only Nigerian artiste invited to perform at the wedding that will feature a constellation of football stars drawn from Drogba’s club side and national team, Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire.

Meanwhile, E-Punch gathered that J.Martins was not invited on his own strength, but on the strength of his collaboration with Congolese music star, Fally Ipupa, on the song, Jupa Remix. In fact, it was Ipupa that was invited, the source says.

“Drogba really loves the song and he thought it was Fally Ipupa’s. So, when his management got across to Fally to perform at the wedding to sing specified songs, he told them that Jupa Remix was not his. And that for him to perform it at the wedding, his collaborator, the owner of the song, had to be there.”

When Drogba was briefed, he assented because he had seen J.Martins perform at an event in Lagos, the source further says.

Drogba is getting married to his long-time partner, Lalla, by whom he has three kids. Unlike other multimillionaire football stars, the Ivorian goal poacher, who was rated one of the world’s 100 most influential people in 2010, is opting for a private wedding bereft of outlandish pomp and ceremony.
