Gradually it is getting to that stage like all ponzi schemes, where MMM cannot sustain the request for payments by its participants.

That leg looks nothing like its indicated for amputation. Wish him quick recovery sha.

Same to me that leg doesn't look bad enough for amputation. Maybe the story is put to attract sympathy and deter criticism and later it would be cited as a great miracle that his leg which was to be amputated got healed through his powers.

Any time the President feels the Senate is taking its joker too far he has a number of options which includes using the security forces to forcibly stop them from doing whatever he does not want them to do.

are soldiers not supposed to be in their barracks? or fighting at the war front? jeez! so now they guy is dead i hope the so called woman is happy. next sunday she will be the first to turn up in the church shouting prayers, screaming blood jesus!, binding her enemies and casting witches out of her house.

i am guessing that must be his brains gushing out through his nose.

It is his brain. I saw the body, it was not a good sight.

You still haven't answered his question.

The post election violence was carried out by who?

All I know is that the Fulani herdsmen didn't start the 2011 post elections violence because where they are in the bush election matter is not their priority. If you are desperate to know who started the violence do your research.

Nbote:
So d result of attacks on Fulanis is d constant attack on SOUTHERN KADUNA which is Christian dominated abi? So dey seem to only b attacked in d south or how com we only hear of d attacks dey carry out instead of attacks on dem? I guess their attacks in Benue, nasarrawa and Plateau is also as a result of attacking dem abi? Kip sympathizing with dem, mayb one day u'll really feel wat it means...

Definitely wherever there is a problem,whether it is South, Benefits or southern Kaduna, involving the herdsmen you will find out that the settled communities tried to take advantage of them. The fact that they don't go to the media to report doesn't mean they were attacked first.

nwakibie3:
He asked u a simple question

The post election violence was carried out by who?

The Fulani herdsmen didn't start the 2011 post elections violence. They were attacked and their lives and properties destroyed and nobody cared.

cococandy:
@bold, I think you should preach that to the Fulani you're so avidly defending. Is there any tribe in Nigeria who has more disregard for lives than them?

You went to kill people and died in the process and you want us to cry for you?

You're a joker.

Please maintain decorum. You Can continue to wallow in your ignorance. The fact that you hear only about Fulani attacks from media does not mean the Fulani are the ones attacking first. The Fulani are attacked because of the cows they owned and their isolatio. The Fulani do not attack to rob others of their properties or land and their attacks are retaliatory in nature.

mykl01:
Who killed Fulani Cows in Bend, Enugu, Agatu, Ekiti, Okigwe and so on!!
As for me, unless Nigerians arm themselves against these useless urchins, they will continue to live in the shadow of terror.
Imagine what a shameless state governor is saying. Shameful.

To you they are urchins and foreigners but to them they are normal people who are engaged in legitimate economic activity. The thing is that they don't read this your type of comments and event if they somehow get across this type of comment they just laugh it off and continue with their normal life. The solution is simple do not take advantage of their isolation and attack them. Your suggestion for others to buy arms won't stop them from protecting themselves. The Fulani herdsmen do not live in permanent settlements, they have few material things to protect and their most valued possession i.e. cattle are mobile; so engaging them in a fight by settled people is counterproductive.

mmmustapha:
all of you people shouting and beating your chest don't know what these Fulanis are capable of. they don't forget or forgive until you compensate them, they can raze 10 villages at once and they are very united when it comes to avenge. so keep your smelling mouth and let the Governor settle the matter.

The keyboard warriors do not understand this and that is why they continue to show their ignorance and insensitivity on the plight of the Fulani men. The Fulani herdsmen who live a nomadic live have advantage over the settled people when it comes to war. They retaliate to make a statement that you can't take advantage of their isolated brothers and attack them and go Scot free. They hardly attack first but when they are attacked they always retaliate no matter how long it takes.

cococandy:
The post election violence was carried out by who? Was it not Buhari's supporters that went on rampage killing those who they thought were responsible for his loss?

What about the youth service members who died in the fiasco. Have their family members migrated all over Nigeria to kill people on their farms and destroy their properties? Just look at the ctupid reason you're giving for justifying evil.

You start a fracas and maybe lose some of your own people in the trouble that you started and then blame the whole country for it?

Disgusting POS.

Obviously you think the lives of the the corpers is more important than that of the Fulanis but they don't think so. Since nobody deem it necessary to acknowledge their loses and offer them even simple condolence message the resultant retaliatory attacks are natural consequence. We have to change our mindset and accept the fact fact that live is sacrosanct whether it is that of the Fulani man or that of any other person.

Nbote:
What happened to common sense for heaven's sake? So paying an illegal alien for supposedly getting caught in the 2011 crisis is a step in the right direction? What is the excuse for the Fulani attacks in Plateau and Benue states as well? D same 2011 kaduna crisis? or have we all forgotten Kaduna's religious crisis goes way back to before the 2011 elections? It has been an endless battle between the Christian dominated southern and d Muslim dominated northern Kaduna. D kind of reckless comments out leaders make and d myopia displayed by some ppl is criminal at best..

Let me tell you most of the attacks you mentioned are a result of of the Fulani being attacked and nothing being done. The type of violence we are discussing Will continue unless we learn to respect the lives and properties of each other. El Rufai's action is the most realistic and practical step to end the crisis.

nams77:
Will you just shut up. I don't normally cuss on public forum but u deserve this! What of the NYSC corp members who died as a result of elections. How many of them where compensated. Can you imagine! Paying killers and patting them on their back!where they the only persons that lost life. What does the constitution says about murderers? Those Fulani guys should be arrested and brought to book. I am so livid with anger of this rubbish

I'll rather we conduct this discussion with politeness.
What I know is that the government has compensated the families of the NYSC who lost their lives but whether it is adequate or not I don't know. People like you think that the live and property of a Fulani man is nothing and it is this thinking that made those people in Southern Kaduna to attack the fulanis after the 2011 presidential election. El Rufai has taken realistic and practical step to solve the problem and you people, who mostly support payment of money to Niger Delta militants, are opposing this because it involves the Fulani. Normally Fulani men accept simple explanation, apology and token compensation when such things but if the aggressor refused to follow this simple. path it leads to retaliation.

This is a right step in the right direction. It is a welcome development that the Fulani me are being talked to in order to solve the problem. Their people and their cattle were killed during the post election violence of the 2011 presidential election and this is the main reason for the recurring violence in the area and any attempt from the side of the government to talk to the fulanis and other ethnic groups is most welcomed.

Those misguided IPods, speaking trash, shall be reminded that the great Zik of Africa and Ojukwu too spoke Hausa.

crosbreaka:
And Jonathan personally telephoned Zakzaky to apologize for the incident and Zakzaky rejected the apology. El rufai went online to celebrate that Zakzaky rejected Jonathan's sorry. See below captions. Jonathan did not justify the incident in 2014 that happened because of road blockage.

Does it change the fact that 34 of his followers including 3 of his sons were murdered during Jonathan's regime? My point is that these people have been at the receiving end of injustice from the Nigerian governments.

Guyman02:
Sunni Vs Shiite war has entered Naija. Under GEJ they were together as 'Muslims', even El'Rufai went to campaign at their leaders house for votes, today he says they are banned in Kaduna State and are belligerents who dont recognize him as Gov and Buhari as President after using their votes to help get rid of Jonathan (a man who never persecuted them during his tenure). Now their fellow Muslim brother has killed thousands of them in just one year and threatening to unleash more violence on them with their members detained without trial.

This is what I think of the 2 sects

To set the records straight during GEJ the army attacked them and a number of them were killed, including El-Zakzaky's three children.

Which sponsor are you looking for again when the actual sponsors like Dasuki are in the net. Those of us in the north east knee that the Jonathan government was the chief sponsor of Boko Haram because they gave the group all it needs to grow. They allowed the group to attack secure formations to get arms, attack banks to get money, attack markets to food supplies and other necessities and above all yielded territories to the terrorist to rule. With all the support they got from the last government they don't need any individual sponsor.

izzou:
Will she eventually get jailed. The answer is NO
What will eventually happen to her? Absolutely nothing

I am not against any war against corruption, but until we begin to see results, Buhari will continue to be a joker and his gullible followers will not stop to amaze me

Only a director of NIMASA has been jailed for a year because of a fraud case of over 1 billion naira.

This case will end just like thw rest. ADJOURNMENT.

Buhari has done his part by arresting and taking them to court so how is it Buhari's fault that the corrupt judges refused to sentence them?

laudate:
So what are you saying? Are you implying that she looks uglier?? Don't you think that because her husband has taken good care of her, she is now more relaxed and in a better frame of mind, which has added some beauty to her features?

I am not saying she looks uglier. What I am saying is that the technology and the art of make up at that time didn’t do her justice.

laudate:
The woman is even looking finer now, than she did 20 years ago!

Today's cameras and make up artists do perform a lot of wonders.

The Adamawa state Secretary of All Progressives Congress (APC),Alhaji Saidu Naira said Alhaji Atiku Abubakar should forget about 2019 presidential bid and therefore should not expect any support from them,as their unflinching loyalty is in support of President Muhammadu Buhari to context for the second term.
According to Saidu the entire party and Adamawa people threw its weight behind the President whom he said has done so much for the people in the state, asking former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar to forget his ambition and support the President.
He said the people of Adamawa state remain grateful to the President for restoring peace back to Mubi,Maiha,Madagali,Michika,Hong and Gombi that was ravaged by the activities of the Boko Haram insurgents.
He said: “2019 is very interesting to our state because we have only one President in this country and that is Muhammadu Buhari and no other person will have our vote in 2019 apart from Buhari. Even if he says he will not contest, we will make him to contest because we cannot forget easily what he did for us regarding the insecurity that ravaged our area.
“During the last dispensation, we had the Chief of Defence Staff, the Principal Private Secretary to the President and many others, but they didn’t care. If you had visited Mubi during the period of insecurity, you will cry. The insurgents were coming and going from Mubi like their home, do whatever they like without being challenged.
“Our people had to run away, leaving everything behind. But now, Mubi is back to live. So, we cannot leave Buhari now and face another person. The leadership of the party under Ibrahim Bilal is behind President Muhammadu Buhari completely and we don’t have other person in mind.”
While saying former Vice President Atiku can contest the election if he so wish, he said “Yes, he is from my state. He was former Vice President and so should thank God for that.
“He should stand aside and wait for this man to finish his term for every Nigerian to see. This government is not even up to two years yet and so, we should not start talking about who should be the next President. We should pray for them to finish this four years first. But in our mind, we have only Buhari.
“He was Vice President and what did he do? He should done much for his people when he was Vice President. It is another person’s time. We are not saying he cannot contest, but we are not voting anybody apart from Buhari because we know what we saw.
“When Boko Haram came, it is Dangote who used to bring rice and share among the people and yet we have all the big people who did not bother to support the people. Instead of wasting lines, he should take that money and rebuild houses for people. Let us forget about personal interest because if God says you will be, you will definitely be.
“At this moment, we believe that the Presidency is in Adamawa because the First Lady is from Adamawa, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation is also from Adamawa, we also have the FCT Minister and many other appointees of government. At least, in whatever we are doing, the people of Adamawa has course to thank God for what He has done for us.”
Alhaji Saidu Naira expressed the believe that the state Governor, Umar Jibrilla Bindow was standing with President Buhari, saying “there is no day that the Governor has ever called me to say let us work for Atiku. It is always about Buhari. It is because we have peace in the state that he can work. So, he has to give his loyalty to the President and not another person.”
On the return of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu to the party, he said “Ribadu is one of the pillars of APC in Nigeria. I was the person that begged him to come back to the party because belong to them. Nobody in the state has said that Nuhu cannot come back because the party does not belong to anybody. Whoever want to come to the party is free to come to the party is free to come.”
He said Ribadu has been fully integrated into the party in the state saying “whatever we are doing, we always inform him. The SGF is interested in him. Our plans was for him to contest the Presidency, but when they removed Murtala Nyako, he discovered that he has no stand and that was why he left for PDP. ”

Atiku is just advertising his product. The sachet of water you see is made by his company, Adama Beverages Yola.

We were confronted with proof of evidence against suspended judges- CJN
ABUJA—The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, revealed, yesterday, that the National Judicial Commission, NJC, asked judges facing allegations of corruption to step down because it was confronted with proof of evidence against some of them.
The judges were arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, between October 7 and 8, following which the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, and some senior lawyers asked the judges to stop presiding over cases, pending their trial.
Two Supreme Court Justices- Inyang Okoro and Sylvester Ngwuta, were among seven superior court judges affected by the DSS “sting operation”, which allegedly led to the recovery of huge sums of money, including foreign currencies, from their homes.
The two jurists, who had since exited the apex court bench, are currently on administrative bail from the DSS, pending their trial over money laundering charges.
The CJN, who disclosed this while swearing in two new Justices into the Supreme Court bench, yesterday, said the NJC, which previously insisted that the Judges would not step aside as requested by the NBA, changed its position after it was shown “evidence on the ground.”
According to him, the NJC took the new stand, “following communications it received from the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice that he was embarking on the prosecution of the affected judicial officers based on the evidence on the ground.”
He said the decision NJC took after its last meeting, directing all the embattled Judges to desist from further presiding over cases or carrying out any judicial function pending their trial, was borne out of its desire to preserve the independence of the judiciary.
He said: “We proclaimed to the world that any judicial officer that is standing trial will cease to perform judicial functions.
“A common thread that runs through all Judiciaries is that judicial officers are traditionally accorded the highest dignity and respect by all.
‘’This is because Justice is rooted in confidence and where confidence in our Judges is undermined and independence eroded, it is the nation that ultimately suffers most, while true democracy is fatally undermined.
“We must not forget that we operate a constitutional democracy, which clearly prescribes the powers accorded to each organ of the state.
“I, therefore, wish to state without fear of contradiction that the third arm of government will remain resolute in its commitment and resolve to uphold its independence and to adjudicate with utmost fairness and Justice as prescribed in our constitution and the law.”
On the swearing-in of the two new Supreme Court Justices, Amina A. Augie and Ejembi Eko, the CJN said they joined the apex court “at a time when there are a lot of challenges”.
While enjoining the new jurists to abide by the oaths they took and dispense Justice without fear or favour, the CJN, thanked President Muhammadu Buhari and the Senate for approving their appointments as recommended by the NJC.
He said: “Now, more than ever, it is important to be firm, honest and steadfast in the discharge of your duties, while striving to emulate the greats of this court by enthroning the rule of law and respect for our courts.
“My lords, ladies and gentlemen, this ceremony takes place against the backdrop of peculiar circumstances for the third arm of the government of our beloved nation.
“It bears reminding that the powers of this court and, indeed, all courts, lie in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended.
“The constitution is the ultimate repository of the consent of the people and remains the sovereign mandate that forms the bedrock of an independent judiciary.”

Innalillahi wa inna ilaihirrajiun.

If we cannot stop the corruption in the judiciary we can as well stop elections and ask those who want to occupy a position to go to the courts and pay the judges. The judges can then decide based on the basis of who bid the highest. We can save ourselves wasting our resources and time on elections whose outcome depend on the whims of corrupt judges.

talktonase:
Chai bubu and apc are finished

Is he not Nigeria's president anymore?

todayboy:
when will efcc jail any of their political suspect

too much media trial

buhari government

collosal failure

Does EFCC convict people? EFCC's own is to to prosecute while conviction is for the judiciary. So blame the corrupt judges in the judiciary for the non conviction of the corrupt. That's why Nigerians are happy that Buhari is dealing with the corrupt judges who collect money to free frustrate trials of corrupt people.

There are some who stole less than ten thousand naira and yet they are serving prison terms.

k2kay:
Asides from corrupt judges, have they protested against secret recruitment in govt agencies and parastatals, nepotism, lopsided appointments, current state of the economy, for Saraki to step down, high cost of governance, unemployment, inflation? etc.
The dumbing down continues......

They have done their own and you too can organise your protest against illegal recruitments and the other crimes you have mentioned.

falxx:
We are waiting for all these Buhari blind supporters to tell us the difference between Okon Abang and Buhari first to enable us know if Buhari is not deeply involved.

My friend is it Buhari that made Ali Modu Sherif PDP chairman? Lay your blame at the door steps of Fayose, Wike and co. All the suits on this matter have been filed by PDP members, so don't bring Buhari into PDP internal crises. All I am saying put your house in order and stop blaming Buhari for what you you cause.

A man who brings an infested wood into his house should not grumble when visited by lizards. Whatever is happening is a result of PDP's intra-party conflict which has nothing to do with APC.
