I don't know whether Boko Haram can coordinate attacks or not but as someone who lives in the north east I know BH cannot attack and takeover towns without response from our military. We have once lived in fear of BH attacking and taking over our towns but now they don't have the capacity to do so. We all know that their going back to suicide bombings is an indication of the lost of their capacity to launch attacks and takeover territories.

Thank God am a Muslim and I like my Muslim life.

YA ALLAH, continue to lead me in ur paths

Ameen.

The killings were avoidable if both sides excercised some measure of restrain. The Shiites have this penchant for taking their children and women to their processions which more often than not turn to violence and to me this is highly irresponsible.

I live in Zaria and happens to know more than I wrote up there

Just check.

Using the case of the former commissioner in Adamawa state, who is given a ten year jail term for stealing fifty-one million naira, for every five million naira stollen give him a year. Divide the total amount stollen by Dasuki by five million, what you get is the number of years he'll get. Shikena.

OP please check well. El Zakzaky attended ABU Zaria but did not graduate because he was expelled from the university for his role in students' uprising, so he never tore his university certificate because he has none.

Please be honest. Do you believe that INEC can bend the rules to favour David Mark without his prompting?

The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) chapter has decried the mal-administration unleashed on staff and patients as well as the untold decadence eroding the hospital meant to take care of the health needs of the citizenry. President of the association, UBTH Chapter, Dr. Omorogbe Owen said, despite being a government hospital, UBTH has the highest billings in fees, admission deposit and costs for services in the country, the services provided cannot be compared with unwarranted charges on unsuspecting Nigerians. “Patients at UBTH are made to pay N3,900 daily for the general wards after paying an admission deposit of N 20,000; bed fee for specialist ward costs N15,000 daily after an admission deposit of N50,000. Even with the worsening economic situation in the country, the management insistence on extorting high fees from patients who cannot afford them has forced many Nigerians to seek alternative care, which in effect has grossly affected the training of medical students and doctors with the declining as the patient load. “Patients, especially those in and around Edo State and environs, are now forced to travel to parts of the country for medical care where services are affordable. At Irrua Specialist Hospital in Edo State and University College, Ibadan in Oyo State, bed fee is N1500 and N1000 per day respectively; the same is applicable to Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital where bed fee is N1000 daily,” he said.

This story sounds somehow. How did he get admission to study to study in A Level without O Level result having being expelled from Secondary school in SS 2? I wonder why do some people concoct these terrible stories to show that they were really very bad before they accept Jesus.

I pray that God make him see reason and repent from his evil ways and if he cannot repent may he be afflicted with leprosy that would slowly eat up his limps, blind him and eventually kill him before he succeed in his evil mission of instigating a war that could kill lots of people and destroy their property. Nnamdi Kanu would surely never enjoy peace until he recant from his evil mission.

Definitely I'll always vote Buhari over Jonathan.

A fresh crisis is rocking the peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as an aspirant for the national chairmanship of the party, Barrister Ahmed Ali Gulak, has dragged the National Working Committee of the party to court for allegedly refusing to initiate the process of filling the position, which is occupied by Prince Uche Secondus in acting capacity. Gulak, a former political adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, in an interview with journalists in Abuja Wednesday, alleged that Secondus had refused to initiate the process of filling the vacuum in the PDP’s leadership, created by the resignation of Adamu Mu’azu last May. The national chairmanship of the opposition PDP is currently zoned to the Northeast, where Gulak hails from. According to him, “the constitution of the party is clear that there shall be NWC which shall be headed by a chairman. As it is today, the NWC of the PDP is not properly constituted. And any act or correspondence purported to be made by anybody in acting capacity is null and void. That is why I have gone to court”. Gulak further said the PDP could not be put back on track unless the constitution of the party is followed. “On May 29 immediately the PDP lost the election at the federal level, the former chairman, Adamu Muazu, resigned his position as chairman of the party. And the constitution of the party is clear about the fact that somebody from the northeast where Muazu comes from should be appointed to replace him. But the deputy national chairman, Uche Secondus, who is claiming to be acting chairman, has refused to initiate any process for the fulfilment of this constitutional provision. “Some past leaders and elders of the party went to the NWC and told them that if we want to re-brand the PDP and ensure it bounces back, we must follow the constitution and properly organise and constitute the organs of our party, especially the NWC and the BoT where two vacancies exist because both chairmen resigned. But it appears that members of the NWC are not ready and willing to comply with the constitutional provision that calls for the replacement of those that resigned. “I had earlier written and submitted my letter of intent, among others from the northeast that are interested in filling the vacancy. Myself, Amb Damagun, Alhaji Gambo Lawal, Senate Bala Mohammed and Senator Paul Wamkpama. “All of us wrote our letters indicating our interest in filling the vacancy created by Muazu’s resignation. It was incumbent on the NWC to initiate the process where a replacement will be obtained. My state chapter of the party sent a letter to them, recommending me from the northeast, but they’re hell bent on flouting the constitution of the party. “The constitution of the party is clear that there shall be NWC which shall be headed by a chairman. As it is today, the NWC of the PDP is not properly constituted. And any act or commission or correspondence purported to be made by anybody in acting capacity is null and void. That’s why I’ve gone to court”. Gulak, who was a governorship aspirant of the PDP in Adamawa State during the last elections, said the suit he filed at Court No. 4 of the FCT High Court is coming up for hearing on November 25, 2015. http://www.informationng.com/?p=332212

PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI HAS ASSURED THE BATCH OF NIGERIA’S GOLDEN EAGLETS WHO FIRST WON THE UNDER-17 WORLD CUP IN 1985, THAT HIS ADMINISTRATION WILL FULFILL THE PROMISES MADE 30 YEARS AGO DURING A RECEPTION HELD AT DODAN BARRACKS WITH THE PLAYERS, IN CELEBRATION OF THEIR OUTSTANDING VICTORY. In a statement released by Mal. Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, President Buhari said it had been brought to his attention that a directive which he gave to the state governments at the time had not been complied with. “IT IS A PITY THAT THOSE PROMISES WERE NEVER FULFILLED,” HE SAID. “IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT OUR PLAYERS, WHO DID US PROUD ON THE WORLD STAGE WENT UNREWARDED FOR THEIR EFFORTS, DESPITE A PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE TO THE STATE ADMINISTRATORS THAT THEY BE HONORED IN THEIR HOME STATES.” THE STATEMENT NOTED THAT, OF THE VARIOUS PROMISES MADE TO THE PLAYERS AT THE TIME, ONLY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FULFILLED ITS OWN COMMITMENT–BY SPONSORING THE PLAYERS ON A TRIP TO WATCH THE 1986 WORLD CUP, WHICH TOOK PLACE IN MEXICO. THE HOUSES, SCHOLARSHIPS AND NAMING OF STREETS AFTER EACH PLAYER WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN CATERED FOR BY THE STATES. THE STATEMENT NOTED THAT SHORTLY AFTER THE COMMITMENT WAS GIVEN, THE MILITARY ADMINISTRATION UNDER GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI WAS REPLACED AND THAT DESPITE REPEATED REPRESENTATIONS MADE TO SUCCEEDING GOVERNMENTS BY THE PLAYERS AND THEIR OFFICIALS, THE PROMISES MADE WERE LEFT UNFULFILLED. “I APOLOGIZE FOR WHATEVER EMBARRASSMENT AND DISILLUSIONMENT IN YOUR COUNTRY THESE RAISED AND THEN DASHED HOPES MAY HAVE CAUSED YOU,” HE SAID. “MY GOVERNMENT WILL DO ALL WITHIN ITS POWER TO REMEDY THE SITUATION.” http://abusidiqu.com/buhari-to-redeem-30-year-old-pledge-made-to-golden-eaglets/

Yesterday they sent me a message telling me that my re-subscription failed because of insufficient funds and that I am in grace period. The funny part of it is that I have never subscribe to the service and my money was being deducted for a service I have never subscribed to and more would have been deducted had there been money in the account.
I don't know what NCC is doing regarding this daylight robbery by the network providers.

TippyTop:
Wike was a minister before Amaechi, what's new here?

Amaechi was governor before Wike Wike was Amaechi's boy so nothing is new.

ExInferis:
Why are Isa Yuguda, Ramalan Yero, Aliyu Babangida, Ibrahim Shema walking free?

Im a full blood northerner but this anti corruption war seems pretty lopsided to me.

What is lopesided there? Where were you when Sule Lamido and his sons and Nyako and his son were arrested and taken to courts?

laudate:
My question is this: Why can APC present another candidate for the election?? Why does it have to be Audu? There are other brilliant, selfless, hardworking, incorruptible technocrats among the Igala, Ebira, Okun and other groups in Kogi who can steer the state towards greatness.

This is my problem with democracy. Sometimes the majority just don't get it right. Audu contested the APC primaries securing majority votes cast by the delegates.

The noose is tightening.

[quote author=morbeta post=38549435]Mr Jauro who recently embarked on a media tour to position himself for the substantive position, professing President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti corruption mantra, even though he is a PPD card carrying member, has employed his biological Daughter Mrs Cynthia James (nee Jauro) and her husband Mr. James in one swoop, much to the angst of NIMASA staff.
This Cynthia name made me think that the story is fake.

frankyychiji:
you wish

Yeah but also fact.

When I read that 84 senators passed a vote of confidence on Saraki I know the 84 senators will turn out to be 25 just like the 50 senators who escorted Saraki to CCT turning out to be 25 only.

It is stated clearly in the report that the President's itinery was bungled by the Nigerian mission in New York which led to the missing of the session on Boko Haram. If PMB is to be blamed at all he shall be blamed for not removing the incompetent head of the mission appointed by GEJ.

Brooklynsouth:
imagine if the emir is poor will the girl's parents consent?
Omo na the money the parents see consent biko

Did you read the story at all or is it just a problem of comprehension? Who told you that the Lamido of Adamawa is a poor man?

My Allah grant him Aljannah firdaus.

Saraki committed a very big blunder by refusing to appear before the tribunal and it is the blunder that caused him all the disgrace. He should have simply appear before the tribunal plead not guilty and seek for bail. The fact the tribunal didn't send him on remand showed that there is no malice on the part of the tribunal.

Dealing with Saraki is necessary for the survival of APC as a party.

APC has done whatever can be done to be fair to Saraki but he took it as a sign of weakness. To maintain party loyalty and cohesion APC must ensure that it does whatever is allowed by our laws to deal with Saraki so as to serve as a deterrent to those who may harbour the thought of harming the overall interest of the party for their selfish ends.

Jwhizzy:
I saw this coming. Saraki will fight back for sure!

It is this case they will use to force the judge to do his job with regard to Saraki.

No source?
