Don't get it twisted:

ABUJA—The Supreme Court, yesterday, adjourned till Friday to determine [size=18pt]whether it will be proper to compel Governor Adams Oshiomohole of Edo State to prove the authenticity of his educational qualifications before the Election Petition Tribunal sitting in the state[/size].

So even if Oshiomole loses at the Supreme Court, he still remains the Governor EXCEPT HE FAILS TO PROVE THE AUTHENTICITY OF HIS EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

What about the N161 billion that GEJ collected some time last year. What was it meant for.....

www.thenationonlineng.net/new/editorial/subsidy-blackmail/

Request for N161.6bn for subsidy supplementary budget is frivolous  PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan, through a memo read to both Houses of the National Assembly is requesting for N161.6 billion naira ($1 billion) supplementary budget to defray fuel subsidy debts purportedly owed petroleum products importers for year ending 2012. This extra-budgetary request takes total spending on fuel subsidy this year to over 1 trillion naira, about a fifth of the total federal budget. The 2012 budget reportedly set aside N888.1 billion for fuel subsidy, which the government claimed it had nearly exhausted, using that as basis for the latest demand for extra N161.6 billion.

toprealman: Will be an interesting judgement.

I fear for Oshiomole

Airhiavbere vs Oshiomhole: S-Court slates Friday for judgment
ABUJA—The Supreme Court, yesterday, adjourned till Friday to determine whether it will be proper to compel Governor Adams Oshiomohole of Edo State to prove the authenticity of his educational qualifications before the Election Petition Tribunal sitting in the state.

A seven-man panel of Justices of the apex court fixed the date for judgment after they heard two separate appeals that were filed by Oshiomohole, who is challenging the verdict of an Appeal Court sitting in Benin.

The appellate court had in its judgment on an application  by candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the July 14, 2012, governorship election in Edo State, Gen. Charles Airhiavbere (rtd.), ordered a retrial of the petition querying Oshiomhole’s primary and modern school qualifications.

PDP candidate had contended  that Governor Oshiomohole was not eligible ab-initio to contest both the 2007 and 2012 gubernatorial elections, insisting that the certificates he (Oshiomohole) used to secure clearance from Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, were bogus.

Airhiavbere argued that Oshiomhole was not eligible to contest the election on grounds of his academic qualification, as provided for in the Electoral Act and the 1999 Constitution.

Though the Tribunal led by Justice Suleiman Ambrusa, had in a judgment it delivered on September 27, dismissed the contention of the petitioner as baseless, however, the appellate court, on November 15, 2012, maintained that PDP candidate’s application had merit and should be heard de-novo (afresh).

Sincere 9gerian: @GenBuhari, you'll be wasting your time if you continue to post 1980's propaganda materials.I doubt if anybody read those rubbish. If there are salient points in those materials, highlight them for us.

Only a f00l who is paid to sing the praises of an inept an corrupt leader while attacking real and perceived leader will refuse to read. Asking to ßξ spoon-fed like a pre-mature and deformed baby....

@Seun & Jarus:

I wish all these ur stories can reduce the price of my username in "IGBUDU" market...??

The cry-babies are at it again..

wesley80: ^ And you do not see the irony in your post? what sensible thing have you said besides displaying your own "fixation on certain forumites" ? Ogbeni masquerading as a Deltan, permit me to return the favour now that you've earned it: SHARRAPPPP!

you're funny..... I'm a Deltan.

Oya Shaarraapp...

Quietly Read Gbawe and Deepsight's posts very well and learn a thing or two. Stop distracting them with your meaningless rants..

If I hear as much as a whisper from you, I'll plaster your ugly face with a well-driven back-hand slap.

Cheers

taharqa: @Garriman, are those d 'lies' he said in dis interview?

Let's start from there......

the Jonathan administration has shown the determination to confront this matter headlong; it has gained the required knowledge to expand the capacity to deal with the problem and has become proactive in dealing with the problem.

Nonsense rubbish trash!!!

What about the sponsors whose names he has. Why are they not being prosecuted??

taharqa: Could you point to 1 lie he said? Abi, you join d 'Black Propagandists', LOL?

When I send journalists to the residence of the president, they don’t have anywhere to stay. They stay in the sun.

There is no space. When the president receives people who are coming to pay homage, people sit on top of each other.

abrat: We are tired of this story nah!!since last year approx. a year ago. All we want to hear is the 5000 beneficiaries have commenced work ah!!! recruitment since july. shame

Shaarraapp ya mouth dia!!!! Before I go use back-hand slap close am for you!!

Don't you know Oga Jo has to do it slowly so that he won't make mistakes??

Oga Jo abeg SLOW and STEADY, we won't mind if the recruitment process is completed in 2019.....

luvinhubby: My thoughts:

--Did Sowore give prior notification before he came to cover the service.

--Did the protocol department give Sowore approval to approach & cover the preacher from the ALTAR.

--In view of the security situation in the country, the timing of the service & the location of the church, did Sowore get security clearance before advancing towards the preacher.

-- Who stopped Sowore, securitymen or church workers.

My point, that it is a church does not mean there are no laid down protocols to observe.

.... Does that JUSTIFY the uncivilised behaviour of the CHURCH??

We have more HYPOCRITES in the church than anywhere else.....

Ok

he Transport Ministry which rakes about N1.3 trillion from the Apapa and Tin-can ports yearly, allegedly wants to carry out major rehabilitation works on the road but this was rejected by the Works Ministry which wants to be given the funds to do the repairs since it is statutorily empowered to do so.

If they make that much from the Ports, why are they reluctant to fix the road??

tomakint: ***Serious laugh at the second sentence*** Did you just said 65 years old? Agba ti de niyen you're joking right?

Joking?? No I'm not.
I guess you'll believe when someone here explains to you how he was drafted into the BIAFRAN army during the Civil War....

Seun: Jarus didn't resign because of anything I did. He resigned because he was too busy to moderate. He tried to use me as a scapegoat, though.

Your actions were more than enough reason for anyone with an atom of self-esteem to resign.

Anyway, wetin concern me sef. Make I go find one thread where I fit win FIRST TO COMMENT..

BYE-BYE...

wesley80: ^ Chai how the mighty have fallen. A whole Ogbeni struggling for attention like this SMH.

Shaarraapp!!

If you've got nothing sensible to say keep shut and learn from more cerebral folks instead of coming to publicise ur fixation on certain forumites.....

Dr. Wise:
Seun,

If these two g.a.y.s in my signature are related to you please advise them to unban me with immediate effect.

I still do not know the reasons for this overzealous attitude of these faggo.ts.

Why was I banned and where are the threads where all these happened?

You must be a TERRORIST!!! Banned till 2024.......

Just open a new account, because by 2024 you'll be 65 years old....

Seun: We apologize for allowing you to post your email address publicly without warning you, and in the future we'll try our best to ensure that members are dissuaded from posting their email addresses publicly, once we figure out a pleasant way to do so. Please try to remove your email address from that thread, by modifying your post. This will prevent spammers from harvesting your email address. Thanks a million for letting us know about the challenge you were having.

If you were this polite and courteous in your words and actions, JARUS would not have resigned.......

Acidtalk predicted something like this lemme go and check.........

acidtalk: * A Popular Nigerian Celebrity will be arrested overseas over drug related issues. Another very rich and powerful Politicians child will be arrested for same crime.

I guess this isn't the fulfillment...........

[size=18pt]If there ever was a bad advert for government, the Nigerian government would serve as the poster brand[/size]

Summary......

OP, why you run na??

... And we now say RIP to a silly thread opened to expose the ignorance and uninformed nature of a PDP goon....

So Mr OP, The Budget has been presented, Ok??

PDP is a party full of shameless uneducated f00ls...

www.punchng.com/news/osun-pdp-disagree-over-budget-presentation/

But the Commissioner for Special Duties and Regional Integration, Mr. Ajibola Basiru, dismissed the PDP allegation, describing it as “uninformed.”

Basiru said, “What is stipulated by law is that the budget must be laid before the House before December 31 and this we have done.

“Reading the budget before the House is ceremonial; it is not compulsory or binding by law. The PDP reacts to everything we do. That’s their ignoble style.”

Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Najeem Salaam, said it was delayed because the legislature was “doing a surgical operation on the budget.”

A statement by his Press Secretary, Mr. Goke Butika, said, “We are conscious of the fact that people are eargerly awaiting the public presentation of the 2013 appropriation bill known as the budget.”
