A lot of iPod nairalanders will commit suicide come 2019 when pmb is declared winner

You are confused.

Well meaning Nigerians want incompetence out of our state house.
Your nightmare "IPOB" is inconsequential to well meaning Nigerians.

Wake up and join the league, or you will find yourself on the losing side at the end.

Thumb up my guy!

Its a noble and patriotic thing to do.

Well done

Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has said 16 trucks of petroleum product expected to be delivered to Adamawa State has been diverted by two unknown companies.

Controller of DPR Adamawa and Taraba, Muhammed Alaku stated during a monitoring tour of fuel stations in five different local government areas of the state.
He said Kakumi Nigeria Limited has lifted 11 trucks of fuel and Kavamchi Oil lifted 5 trucks of petroleum product which have not been delivered to the state.
Alaku said DPR has taken measures to track defaulters.

''We have sealed two filling stations in Taraba and one filling station in Adamawa for failure to comply to regulations and will continue to clampdown on any illegal activity aimed at frustrating the efforts of the federal government in making the product available to Nigerians." He stated.

Bad governmental policy always leads to scarcity. Buhari likes to regulate everything the old fashion way. Just like 1983-4, he abolishes what is working and introduces what won't work for the country.

SO WE WILL NEVER HAVE SUFFICIENCY OF COMMODITIES IN NIGERIA UNDER THIS MAN?

I STILL REMEMBER THE SUFFICIENT AND AFFORDABLE NATURE OF PETROL BEFORE BUHARI CAME IN. FOR THIS TO REMAIN THIS BAD TILL 2019 IS UNFORTUNATE.

His name and alleged involvement in the Dasukigate has been mentioned all these months. It's still surprising that as a retired general,he hasn't gotten his documents to clear his name ready,in both hardcopy and soft copy backed up online for access even in the middle of the night and he still "has to go home" according to him.
No wonder they are never prepared for anything. I suspect that he has no strong evidence to establish his innocence. To be on the safe side,EFCC better hold him well well like Col. Dasuki before he escapes like Alhaji Maina.
I expect a General to always be ready. This is excuse is fishy.

You supposed he already knew the questions he will be interrogated with isn't it?

You opened your mouth and succeeded in clearing all doubt about how uninformed you are.
Next time, hide your personality by refusing to comply with the urge to comment when you will thereby expose yourself like this.

The problem is that through this night grazing, these herders will end up destroying anything they find then they will move to a distant place by morning and people will only have to speculate as to what or who committed the damage. By this time, all that can be said is mere allegation because the harm was done in the dark of the night, off human sight.

Its just because 'others' are the sufferers of these herdsmen menaece, otherwise the northern leaders would not have condoned nor accepted this shit.

Saintp:
State police No
Restructuring NO
Disintegration NO
Resource control NO

Some people just want Nigeria to remain they way it is without any form of progress. Na waa oooo

It baffle me why some prominent Northerners easily makes reference to the U.S. model of Federalism" to prove a point. But, without state police, Nigeria cannot be said to be practicing the American (U.S) version of Federalism if police remains under Abuja command where a sitting president will take months in slow motion, pondering what to say to police I.G. while citizens are maimed in horde.

How much are they giving the winners sef

Well, the amount is not an issue to me. All I wanted was to see the successful participants drawn from the highest scorers of grade points.

Why did the Youwin! Coordinators shortchange merit for favouritism

In any exams, the reward goes to highest scorers, not the other way round.

BUT ONE THING IS CLEAR NOW: BUHARI'S OWN LEVEL OF CORRUPTION IS WORSE THAN JONATHANIAN'S. THIS IS THE REASON BUHARI WILL NOT GO BACK TO ASO ROCK AFTER MAY 29, 2019. MARK MY WORD!

https://www.opinions.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Buhari-pesents-Budget-to-National-Assembly.png

By Kurtis Adigba

Let me concede from the onset, that members of the National Assembly are empowered to make laws for the good, order, and stability of the country. That power, extends to the amendment of any existing law(s) to bring it to speed with current or existing realities. The Electoral Act, is one of such laws the NASS, can amend. That is not in doubt. However, the power of the NASS, to make or amend laws, must not be abused, or targeted at conferring specific advantages on members of the NASS.

In seeking to amend the Electoral Act, for the purpose of re-ordering the sequence of elections as announced by INEC, the NASS, argued that the order announced by INEC, which puts the holding of the presidential elections first, will have a bandwagon effect in favor of the party of the president; and will depress voters enthusiasm and turnout in subsequent elections.

As popular as these reasons maybe, it is my considered view that there cannot stand up to critical scrutiny for the following reasons:

There is no data to show that bandwagon effect was responsible for the victory of one party, and the loss of another.
President Buhari, was not the incumbent at the time of the last elections. If the bandwagon effect theory is of any validity, it should have been to the advantage of the incumbent president, Jonathan and his party, the PDP, not his outsider challenger, Buhari, that had been defeated in three previous elections. The truth of the matter, was that there was a massive waves of discontents with the PDP by the voters. They simply wanted a change from the party, and it happened that Buhari and the APC, were the candidate and party, speaking to their anxieties, and promising them inclusive prosperity. It wasn’t so much about bandwagon effect.
It is an admission albeit inadvertently by majority members of the current NASS that they were not elected on their own merits but by a spurious bandwagon effect. The question then is, are they now tired of being swept to power by the bandwagon effect? Or, have they now gathered sufficient political capital to stand on their own?
The claim of bandwagon effect, is hinged on the erroneous thinking that Nigerian voters are ignorant of the issues in elections, and do not have valid reasons for voting for some candidates and parties. The voters, will vote for any candidate running on the ticket of the party of the president. This is not true, and there are no data to support this claim. Parties and their candidates, performed to their strengths and advantages in the last elections. And there is no stronger evidence than the fact that the results were close.
The argument against bandwagon effect, can also be made against the proposal by the NASS. If we accept that the Nigerian voters do not understand the issues in the elections, and will just vote for the party with the advantage, it can be argued, and justifiably too, that the voters, will vote for the party with the majority in the National Assembly elections. The voters, will pour out, and vote for the presidential candidate of the party with the majority of elected members of the NASS. This is not true. People vote for parties and candidates for varieties of reasons.
If the bandwagon effect claims are true, do you think the majority members of the NASS, will be willing to jettison their advantage? Not at all.

The attempts by NASS to amend the Electoral Act, and re-order the sequence of the elections are selfish, and motivated by narrow political considerations, not national interests. INEC is empowered by laws to regulate its internal activities, and for the NASS, to seek to emasculate that power, is a dangerous descent to legislative rascality. If allowed, the NASS, will be in the position to prescribe to INEC the number of people it should engage to conduct elections, as well as their religion, ethnicity, height, and weight.

In the face of mounting national emergencies, how does re-ordering the sequence of elections become the most important pursuit and goal of the NASS?

You already answered the question from onset. The NASS are perfectly right.

Cornido:
Pls experienced parents in the house especially Mums, my baby is 9 months old. We just introduced him to cereals but the trouble is he refuses to eat it. We have tried Pap, that one is even worse.
I have to pin his hands and legs, while the Mum tries to force his mouth open just to get a spoonful into his mouth, that is if she can get past the teeth that he won't open. And after all these, he will not swallow, he will just spit everything out and we are back to square one. And the way he cries.........damn
We tried closing his nostrils and mouth to force him to swallow, hmmm, I will never try it again. Continuing only on breast milk is no longer an option cos it doesn't fill him anymore. Pls suggestions

Rush the Baby to a peadeatric section of a renowned clinic nearest to you.

Babies health issues are delicate as they aren't able to express what they suffer. Thus only an expert should be made to attend to you the infant/baby.

Nigeria can only be good when we start saying the truth and supporting truthful nationalistic programmes aimed at common good of all Nigerians

But why are you and the other pdp supporters not beaming on the fraud perpetrated in rivers,delta,akwa ibom,enugu in 2011 and 2015 where therw was mass thumbprinting by humans and non humans? You complain about 1.9 million votes in kano but obj got 2 million in rivers in 2003.stop this hypocrisy.

@senatordave1, you and I have seen the minor pictured to prove the fraud and irregularities carried out in broad day light in Kano under the guise of voting;
But, we weren't shown any pictorial evidence of the alleged fraud you claimed occurred in the other places. Have you shown convincing evidence, I will deplore such because fraud is fraud any where any time.

But, common dear, are you admitting that it was actually fraud that brought PMB and you intend to perpetuate same for only you knows how long?

Are you not part of the problems of Nigeria by making the statement you made? I assure you, you are part of the problem that deters Nigeria from moving forward. When we are supposed to move forward, your likes drag us back.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that all persons that are saying the truth about Buhari's misdeeds are all PDP supporters. You are far from the truth if that's your perspective.

newdawn09:
I decided to read a copy of the National Grazing Reserve Council Bill and I was surprised at what I saw.
The Bill creates a council to be chaired by a Chairman to be appointed by the president.
The council shall have the power to take your land anywhere the land is located in the country and then pay you compensation.
Your land, when taken, shall be assigned to herdsmen who shall use your land for grazing purposes. They shall bring cows to the land and you shall lose the land permanently to those Fulani cattlemen.
If you feel that the council was not right to take your land, you can go to court but before you go to court, you must first of all notify the federal attorney general of your intention to sue the council. Apart from notifying, you must get the consent and authority of the Federal Attorney General before you can sue.
So that means that if the Attorney General refuses to give his consent to the suit, you have lost your land forever to the herdsmen.
And this law, when passed, shall apply to the whole country so it means that your land in the village or anywhere is not safe.
The National Grazing Reserve Council would have the power to take away your land from you anytime they want and pay you whatever they want as compensation (even when you don't want to sell, and remember that for you to get compensation, you must have documents showing or proving ownership).
So I think that we all in the South West, South South and South East must rise up and reject this Bill. We must do all things to force our national Assembly members from passing that bill into law.
That bill is a deliberate attempt to take our lands and hand the land over to the Fulani cattlemen since it is only the fulanis that rear cattle in Nigeria.
That law, when passed, shall fulfil the directive of Uthman Dan Fodio and other northern leaders to take over other parts of Nigeria.
I implore you to use all available means to implore your senator and Rep not to pass that law.
That law will destroy Nigeria.
All over the world, ranches are established and used to rear cattle. The farmers buy land and put there cattle there. There is no country where the land of the citizens are compulsorily acquired and given to others.
This is evil, and designed to favour the Fulanis where the president comes from.
We must resist the passage of that bill into law to save Nigeria, and to protect our future generations
Please share this piece until it goes viral. We must defend our land and protect our children.

You are very right.
Especially, with the draconian and wicked leadership style of PMB, you will discover that the Commission will be made up of only Fulanis as the decision makers who will then proceed to give away southern lands to Fulanis without the southerners being there to speak for their people.

Why is that some northerners believe anything they determine to do (even against the south) will succeed despite the injustice it portends ?

chichichilong:
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has again criticized President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, saying that Buhari's anti-corruption crusade has been polluted by people in his inner circle. According to The Nation, the former President in this recent attack stated that Buhari has corruption on his nose. Idealolive..com is also appealing to the president to start planning for a better replacement as he is now in captive of the corruption he came to fight. Nigerians need to move forward.

Nigeria has suffered under this Buhari, in two occasions. How can one person plunge Nigeria into deep hardship in 1983-4 and return 31 years later to plunge the now-advanced country into a worse hardship. Sanity may be elusive when applied to all Nigerians, for allowing an ugly historical incident play out twice within 31years

ShukuShaker:
Biafran war never happened. It was nothing but a government-backed conspiracy.

Even the current killings in Benue is not happening; isn't it?

Even the misrule and misdeeds of Buhari, which is just a replica of what took place in 1983-4 isn't happening. Isn't it?

Perhaps, that your parents gave birth to you never occurred. Isn't that also the case with you?

TheFreeOne:
Concerned Nigerians and the opposition will resist any attempt by APC to return Buhari to power in 2019 by fraudulent means.

If his supporters are certain he has integrity and performed let him try his popularity / acceptance in a credible way by conducting free and fair election devoid of rigging / underage voters.

The country must move forward devoid of analogue leaders who have lost touch with reality.

It baffles me how the electoral personnel in the picture sat comfortably in front of the minor and was not moved by this daylight fraudulent election.

This shows how some people can be lawless, BUT WHY?

So is this in a way, a confirmation that they were the perpetrators of the killings in the first place?

cosby02:
Chisos klist....this one can give somebody plenty disease oo.

You are playing with someone's faith.

beethoven:
While I am not in support of Buhari's adminstration. Have we ever thought of the fact that fleeing Boko Haram members could be responsible for these killings (can you tell d difference btw a Boko Haram member and a Fulani herdsman?). Or perhaps some cabal who are desperate for power in 2019 might be responsible for this? (Our politician don't care about peoples' lives so long as the end justifies the means.

Just saying...

Note: I am not a Buhari's supporter neither do I support open grazing by Fulani herdsmen.

Supposing you are sincere with your comment:

If PMB is not sympathetic to the herdsmen; and if he, as the president of Nigerian wants to eradicate this nonsense, he will order the disarmament of all carriers of illegal fire arms.

We all know that the major carriers of illegal fire arm are the herdsmen; have Buhari ordered the security agents to enter all hushes and dissarm all the illegal arms carriers (herdsmen)

Once they no longer carry dangerous weapons, do you think they will still kill innocent citizens in hoards?

Now tell me, have our commander in chief given such important far reaching order to dissarm the alleged killers (herdsmen)?

Why exornorate the herdsmen when you know they carry sophisticated weapons that even well behaved citizens may not obtain license to acquire?

MODALSOUL1:
Lets see how that turns out in 5 years . the previous yellow buses were at one point also new. what happened to that? also,look at the Nigerian map. Lagos is less than 1 percent of the entire Nigeria. and these buses don't even cover the entire Lagos . It doesn't add up. Let me tell you this , every country has nice spots man. I have a friend from Peru and I've visited there. Peru has underground subways and its two cities are more developed and beautiful than Lagos but it's still a third world country. Lagos is not even up to most African cities. look ,all those projects you showed are generic third world projects . nothing spectacular towards a developed first world nation.
you don't have to advertise those mediocre projects. when Nigeria starts developing on the right path,everyone will know .

The worse of it all is the falsehood perpetrated by Nigerian leaders. They keep telling us lies and wants us to believe same as the truth.

All initiatives peddled by the current administration are ridden with corruption, yet they don't want us to talk about it. Whenever the lens of scrutiny is focused on their misdeeds, they will quickly shift the attention either to an ill of ' past administration' or they will invent some other means of diverting attention away from their misdeeds.

TO MAKE MATTERS MORE UGLY, THEY HAVE STATIONED CERTAIN PERSONS TO COUNTER RELEVANT THREADS LIKE HIS VERY ONE, SO NIGERIANS WILL REMAIN DISSUADED FROM FOCUSSING THEIR LENS OF SCRUTINY ON ABUJA.

YOU HAVE SEEN THAT SOME ARE ALREADY EXPENDING THEIR ENTIRE ENERGY ON CONVINCING YOU TO ACCEPT THAT NIGERIA IS PERFECT. THAT WAS JUST ON LAGOS. NOW TRY DISCUSSING THE INCOMPETENCE OF PEOPLE IN ABUJA, YOU WILL SEE GOONS AND ZOMBIES FLOODING YOUR THREAD WITH ALL FORMS OF DISRESPECTFUL COMMENTS.

To be frank: BUHARI DO NOT DESERVE SECOND TERM BECAUSE THE LEVEL CORRUPTION THRIVING UNDER HIM IS MASSIVE, AS OPPOSED TO THE FIGHT OF CORRUPTION CLAIMED ALL ALONG.

THEY CLAIMED TRANSPARENCY IN THIS CURRENT YOUWIN!CONNECT REGIME, ONLY TO HAVE THE PROGRAMME HIJACKED BY "INFLUENTIAL" NIGERIANS AND THE "HIGH GRADE POINT= GREATER CHANCE OF SUCCESS" PROMISED HAS BEEN ABANDONED FOR SOMETHING ELSE THAT PARTICIPANTS AREN'T AWARE OF.



THE HIGHLY PERFORMED PARTICIPANTS HAVE BEEN "PIGEONHOLED", WHEN THEY WERE PROMISED TRANSPARENCY INITIALLY.

CALL SPADE A SPADE!

CC, LALASTICLALA, NGENEUKWENU, SARRKI, COME AND SPEAK HERE

To be frank: BUHARI DO NOT DESERVE SECOND TERM BECAUSE THE LEVEL CORRUPTION THRIVING UNDER HIM IS MASSIVE, AS OPPOSED TO THE FIGHT OF CORRUPTION CLAIMED ALL ALONG.

THE YOUWINNERS HAVE JUST BEEN USED AND DUMPED WHEN RHEY WERE PROMISED TRANSPARENCY.
