Someone that just said on ChannelsTV that INEC shouldn't have fixed the date of election when GCE is going on till he was told by Seun Okin that the security agencies never cited that as a reason but 'security issues', he nearly became hostile when he retorted "That is the reason I know". Since they have been talking about the postponement, I never read "The coronation" as a reason.
Why can't The Nations media just reference ChannelsTV as the programme he spoke on today?
Edit: He is complaining about the postponement not favouring the coronation. Towards the end of the video if you care to fast forward.
Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has expressed surprise at the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to postpone the state’s governorship election earlier slated for Saturday, September 10, 2016.
The agency on Thursday afternoon announced this decision after it had earlier said that it would go ahead with the polls.
Speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Governor Oshiomhole described the decision as a set back for the state.
He frowned at the time it took the electoral body to make the decision, which he said affects the parties’ programmes.
He said that if INEC had given the hint earlier that the election would be postponed, the All Progressives Congress (APC) would have also postponed its final rally to suit the new election date.
The Governor also reacted to allegations that his party was behind the postponement of the election by stating that none of the other parties was as ready as the APC for Saturday’s election.
He argued that the large turnout of supporters at the party’s final campaign rally on Tuesday was an indication that Edo State was indeed an APC state.
He maintained that the only issue that involved him as the Governor of the state was INEC’s decision to fix the election to coincide with the West African Examination Council (WAEC), GCE examination, which led to protests by students of the state.
“INEC ought to have known that the West African Examination calendar was out there. It is not something they fix two or three weeks to the time,” he said.
The way long forgotten threads are being resurrected eh, people dey vex oh! In how many months time did Keneking become a wailing wailer, wailing much more than the original wailers?
MizMyColi: The way his song changed overnight is surprising.
idupaul: The answer now will be allow any illegal refinery to thrive and assist the ramp up thier production . We can't wait for Dangote's behemoth refinery for now ..I fear Nigeria may shut down soon to ground zero ..Buhari has been a disaster
The bolded, I honestly do not understand why the govt. will wait for one man before we can move forward. If there is no Dangote, what will happen? Can't Nigeria survive without Dangote? Someone enlighten me.
Funnily, Nigerians will complain, complain, more complain and then they keep adjusting until they have adjusted fully. Life goes on.
For those who will talk about protest, I don't see that happening.
We should focus on making the refineries work.
I am fascinated by the bolded reason being we were told "due to the body language of the president, the TAM which was supposed to be fully completed in 2016 finished in 2015 and the Kaduna refinery produces 2mbpd".
Modified: Tune to ChannelsTV and listen to the rubbish Oshiomole is saying in defense of the postponement. He said it is because of WAEC but Seun Okinbaloye countered him saying the security agencies said it is because of security issues; he then retorted "This is the reason I know".
TonyeBarcanista: At least they should pretend to be pros considering the international dimension the agitation has taken
Bros, no be Nigerian police.
ndcide: When Joseph Mbu, tried to regulate BBOG protest. APC and their online soldiers too over the media to insult GEJ. We need to look for that thread and bring it back to the front page. Ladies and gentlemen, we really need to review some of these things. We were Really unfair to GEJ. I'm being honest here.
If they revisit old threads eh. . . .e go be war for here oh.
LMAO! It is never going to end. The insults started during the regime of Yar'Adua (remember baba go-slow ), intensified with GEJ (remember Ineffectual Buffoon); now, it's gone supernova with PMB.
TonyeBarcanista: It is irresponsible for the Police to issue such an order. This is a show of unprofessionalism, display of rascality, and infringement of the right of BBOG Campaigners to associate and protest. Though I am completely neutral on this BBOG fiasco, I find it unbelievable for some set of people to take as an hobby in vilifying Madam Oby Ezeks for her insistence in her BBOG project. She has her right to pursue a cause and owe nobody any apology irrespective of the outcome.. Hate Kills Faster Than Aids
The bolded, have they always shown otherwise?
idupaul: They should not only ban them from Abuja they should all be rounded up and exiled ..Karma definitely has a way of paying traitors ..they Ganged up and we're used to rubbish the govt of Jonathan internationally but now Karma has struck ...the woman at NPA should think she has escaped karma because karma is still boiling the better dish he will serve her
And if they are exiled, what will happen to those who orchestrated the kidnap if I were to use your logic of the bolded above or say it was a scam? Don't they deserve some form of punishment too?
Bros, it's more than eight months. What is the progress?
MCMLXXVI: Superstar1, you dumb shhit. I told you I'd be back, didn't I? The one year deadline has passed oh. In fact, it passed in June and I decided to even give you 3 extra months So now I ask again... Where is the fhhucking airport? Who's the fool now? While Akanu Ibiam Airport is alive and kicking with a solid new international terminal and a travel deal with Ethiopian Airlines, your Ogbeni's airport still remains a scam which only exists in ArchiCAD! Bwahahahahahaa!
PassingShot: Even though the BBOG campaigners have been too aggressive and unreasonable lately, this is a very wrong move by the government.
Getting irritated by the group's misbehavior (this was attested to by some parents of the Chibok Girls as well) is not the way to handle them. I hope this wrong decision will be rescinded before it's too late.
All of a sudden, they are aggressive? Interesting! You know eh, some of you APC stalwarts are so hypocritical. Lawd!!!
Pray tell, what makes them aggressive? That they are demanding the govt. fulfill its promise of rescuing their daughters? What makes them unreasonable? This same issue this present govt. used to campaign, promising heaven and earth; they are now too "aggressive and unreasonable lately"?
UjSizzle: Stop staring at the picture as a whole and pay attention to the details. Photography is about details-- it's the details that make the whole. Now place both pictures side by side. Look at the line of trees. On your version of the picture, notice the 'line' of trees is sloping (rather than in a straight line. If it helps place a ruler at the base of the tree line to see the slope. Now look at the edited version I posted. Notice it's straight now, rather than sloping. That's what we mean by the horizon should be straight. It makes the whole picture more visually appealing.
What did you use to straighten the tree line? Been seeing the Rule of Third setting but never bothered. Maybe cos it stems from the fact that I hate 'grids'. Seeing various entries using the settings, I may become a big fan of using grid.
Una see wetin religion dey do people. The way we practice religion in this country makes one think if it is worth it.
hungryboy: Dem no pursue am comot for dat road? Him think say na Kano him dey?, If you wish to pray, Park your vehicle In a suitable spot, And pray, Blocking the road is a sign of utter disregard for others who ply that same road
The problem with most of these truck drivers is that once you try anything with them, get ready to sleep on that road for hours if not days. I mean, you will see others that will jejely turn of their engines and relax on that road. Shows the kind of nation we are in.
Kingzy4pep: I totally understand your point but many of the Delta Ibo's I know don't accept when you refer to them as an Igbo man/woman. That's by the way though.
In that case, the development ought to cut across the Ibo speaking part of Delta too... Not just the South East as stated in the post.
If they had included SS, some people will still cry and shout that Igbos cannot do without SS oil and they are 'attache by force'. It is good they way they said Igbos, as long as you are Igbo from either the SS (those who agree they are) or SE, then this is for you. Hopefully, when development and economy make serious sense, then they will realise they are Igbos.
chimoskyg: Seeing the list of the team makes me feel good Thank God Okorohausa is not included
This is what I am talking about. The integration of the Igbos irrespective of boundaries given us by previous leaders. With names like these: Emeka Anayoku; Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Prof. Charles Soludo, Prof. Barth Nnaji, Dr Idika Kalu Idika, Mr. Tony Elumelu, Prof. Pat Utomi, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, Prof. Pita Ejiofor, Prof. Elo Amucheazi, Rear Admiral Ebitu Ukiwe (rtd), Chief Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), former Governor Peter Obi, Dr Orji Kalu, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Prof. Philip Emeagwali, and author, Chimamanda Adichie, (the bolded is up for some later debate) then we are heading somewhere. NdiIgbo, bikonu, let us keep pressing them to make sure this is fulfilled with little political interest that may ruin all.
nani667: Noblesse.... are thete more episodes now.....? last time I checked saw only the Awakening Episode, was nice.... I'll check later and see if there are more episodes
yeah. It is only that episode. I was talking of the manhwa. BTW, have you watched led to his sleep of 820 years ie his battle with Muzaka?
saints2: A visibly angry Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State visits Ndiagu Attakwu community in Akegbe Ugwu, Nkanu West Local Government Area of the state, where suspected Fulani herdsmen killed a catholic seminarian and injured 4 persons. The governor condemned the dastardly act in its entirety. He vowed that those who pepertrated the heinous act will not go unpunished, adding his administration will not tolerate the wanton destruction of lives and property in the state by the herdsmen. The governor stormed the hersdmen settlement inside a thick forest apparently to express his displeasure over the heinous act, only to discover that the herdsmen had fled. The governor prayed for the repose of the seminarian and quick recovery of the survivors.
The Catholic Bishop of Enugu, Dr. C.V.C Onaga who visited the grief-stricken community, also condemned the attack and expressed sadness over the incident. He prayed for peace and unity of the country, calling for a permanent solution to the menace of the herdsmen in the country.
The governor has summoned an emergency meeting with the security agencies and Fulani community in the state today at the Government House, Enugu.
The green bolded, just like he declared a three day fasting and prayer and there were changes in the security of the state bah!.
The purple bolded, what happened with the last meeting in the first attack? Wasn't it supposedly said he called the security agents and was told all would be adhered to before we realised that they came to arrest 72 youths who mobilised for a reprisal; even bailing them with 200K each?
Finally, we will keep praying down east instead of finding solutions on how to arrest this monster of the killings by the herdsmen. Even the bible said "There is a time for everything. A time for peace and for war". We are in war.
Keneking: Ok, "The governor stormed the hersdmen settlement inside a thick forest apparently to express his displeasure over the heinous act, only to discover that the herdsmen had fled." Useless propaganda Anyway, he needs to improve the security of his communities, light up the towns, tar the streets and improve the livelihood of its people. With such actions, the herdsmen can be restricted from certain areas of the communities both at night and day. Set up community vigilantes and empower the police to "storm the herdsmen settlement" in the future.
A very useless propaganda. Storming the forest with his over bloated body.
Blakjewelry: What are the cons though I know it is still faraway but once we can perfect the process except you wan to let me on what I did not consider before
xdos: I think you've been seeing a lot of sci-fi movies..
