Please which Law in Nigeria or any where in the World that says a visiting President's wife most must visit or pictured with US President's wife or himself with pictures? Is it not inferiority complex? Buhari's wife visit to US might had nothing to do with White House. Or do we expect her to go and beg Mechel and Obama for autograph? US is not a country PMB's wife can do media stunt with, she is not a fool.

RIP & Name Checkers Association of Nigeria (NCAN) crew please keep far off.

Can those Royal Palms attain such height within 6 months or 1 year and 2 months? Any Botanist in the House?

Sister Kemi Olunloyo when are we expecting the Apology and retraction? Cos these day that's your stock in trade. When the intractable madness hit you, you attack verbally only to apologise at your lucid moment.

If Speaker Dogara and Co were innocent they could had fired Hon Jubril at the height of the Budget Padology Scandal not now most Nigerian might had forgotten the Padological Budget. They had been weighing the options and consequences of making Hon Jubril the escape goat, but to their greatest nightmare Hon Jubril is not a Political Pusher over, not even Hon Dogara's threat of legal actions had intimidated Hon Jubril, which implies he (Jubril) is sure of what he is saying and like a blind bull or loosed canon in china shop, expect more collateral damage in the days to come.

But I am afraid President Buhari is yet to master the act of impeachment. He must unleash carrot and stick approach. OBJ remains unrivalled in the master of the game during his days. Sometimes it takes corruption to kill corruption. It takes thief to catch a thief. He applied this in Dansuki and that's why Col Dansuki is still in detention despite many courts granting him bail.
If PMB expect Saraki and Dogara to vacate their offices naturally, he will remain a learner in the act of impeachment.

In the Political World, we call it Circulation of the Elites. The rich marries the richer/rich, and the poor marries the poorer /poor. Except the fortunate poor who are lucky to find the son/daughter of rich madly in love with them against the pressures from their family. The reasoning is simple - Marrying the richer/rich brightens their political and economic strength or alliance while Marrying the poor depreciates their economic strength and gains them no political advantage. Instead you will begin to spend money to sponsor him/her (the poor) politically, economically, socially and otherwise.
Funnily when the poor finally breaks into the rich class, he/she too will never allow their own son/daughter marry from the poor (his former class) for the fear of sinking back to poverty.

Most of this guys were never Militants. Some Politicians used the opportunity to train their brothers abroad at the expense of FG while the real Militants were short charged to be receiving stipends monthly, the unlucky ones nothing.

Nigeria might be one of the countries in the World where Legislatures also authors (pad) National Budget.

This means MEND Aaron Team will be speaking on behalf of Moses (MEND). And Nigerian Army Crocodile Tears Team will be shearing tears while killing their fellow citizens who have chosen to reduce Nigerian critical asset to Zero. MEND are playing the Big Brother Militant in Niger Delta. Nigeria might be one of the countries in the World where Militants will boldly say I am a Militant with an ID card.

Danjuma led the assault that foiled the Dimka coup against Murtala, he was Chief of Army staff, he refused to to assume leadership role, to some people, they will labeled that as an act of cowardice, but to a sensible one, it was a wise decision knowing that Dimka is a Middle Belt man like Danjuma.
Sometimes, the right thing is not always the wise or moral thing.

It's also worthy of note that General T Y Danjuma almost participated in all success coup d'etats in Nigeria but never assumed leading role in the subsequent governments formed, so playing the Machavellian fox is most at times better than playing the Lion. ThisGeneral TY Danjuma has mastered. General Ironsi's thinking was that the Northerners will be pallied or appeased by entrusting them with sensitive portfolios in his government which was a tactical error , not knowing he was indirectly digging his grave quicker especially as he failed to instantly to execute the coup plotters in the Mafia Military tradition of Firing Squad, but preferred to put them in prisons made the Northern bloc felt he was even part of the grand game plan of Southern bloc political domination . General Ironsi was a victim of circumstance like GEJ who never knew what power can do or undo or achieve. If the coup plotters had succeeded, they could have knew how best to navigate the piqued emotions after the coup than General Ironsi who never dreamed to govern Nigeria as at that period.
Tell me how a man who worked himself through the machinations of power let alone Army Chieftain be removed or killed through coup or what we can today called impeachment within 6 months?
For example, that the current Senate President Dr Bukola Saraki is retaining his seat today despite all odds attest to people who worked their way through power, assuming he was an anointed Senate President he could have been kick out within 6 months . Even if happens today, one is 1 year is gone already. Examples abound - Hon Aminu Tambuwal, Ayodele Fayose, Rotimi Amechi etc

I suggest their new slogan should be

A former Senator and chieftain of the PDP Omisore surrenders, reaches deal with EFCC on alleged N1.3billion frauds
Peoples Democratic Party Chieftain in Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, was on Friday night released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission after he agreed to refund the over N1.3billion he allegedly received from the office of the National Security Adviser, people familiar with the matter have told PREMIUM TIMES.
The EFCC arrested Mr. Omisore in Abuja on July 3 for allegedly collecting the huge funds from a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
The former NSA is being prosecuted for allegedly mismanaging billions of dollars meant to procure arms and ammunition for the Nigerian military which has in the past five years been battling a deadly insurgency in the North-East of Nigeria.
The PDP chieftain had since his arrest battled hard to regain freedom from the custody of the EFCC.
The anti-graft commission moved him to the National Hospital, Abuja, after he complained that his health was failing. He was however kept under close watch by two well-armed police officers.
Then his lawyers approached the Federal High Court in Abuja to press for bail but the court, on July 15,
dismissed the application for lack of competence .
This week, the former deputy governor capitulated, those close to him said. He approached the EFCC and agreed to refund the money he was alleged to have fraudulently received.
On Friday, the EFCC granted him administrative bail after he struck a deal with the commission to refund the N1.3billion in installments.
He paid the first installment of N300million before he was allowed to go home, this newspaper learned.
Those familiar with the negotiation said before his release on Friday, Mr. Omisore issued a letter authorising his bank to release N170million to the EFCC, being the entire amount in his frozen account.
He also gave the anti-graft commission a draft of N130 million, bringing the first installment of the repayment plan to N300 million.
Mr. Omisore, a former deputy governor of Osun State and PDP flag-bearer in the 2014 Osun governorship election, will return to the Commission on Monday for further negotiations regarding how he would stagger the refund of the remaining one billion, our sources said.
Mr. Omisore had denied benefiting from #Dasukigate and had sued the EFCC, seeking N10 billion damages , after he was declared wanted in May.
However, according to our sources, Mr. Omisore, while in detention, admitted to collecting the sum from Mr. Dasuki.
Mr. Omisore, our sources disclosed, had initially claimed that the over N1.3 billion he received from Mr. Dasuki was meant for a certain parcel of land he sold to the office of the NSA.
The politician was however unable to provide documents backing the transaction, those close to him said.
EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, could not be reached to comment for this story early Saturday morning.
Mr. Omisore too could not be reached by this newspaper. But the Nigerian Tribune quoted him as saying after his release, “Thanks for your support and prayers. I also thank my supporters for their steadfastness. I’m back at home in Abuja.”

I can assist DSS, Army, Navy, Airforce, NSCD, even Boys scout in reporting suspicious object or individuals not NPF. Report anything to Nigerian Police the hunter immediately becomes the hunted. You will have to paid them before they will take your distress call serious.

If a son of the soil of Niger Delta shall rule Nigeria even for 1 year let alone 5 years without doing anything good for Niger Delta tangible to address the environmental hazard and poverty in the region outside unbridled primitive looting. What do you expect from a stranger? Miracle abi? Niger Deltans should cover their face in shame for their "hero" GEJ's achievements in Niger Delta. PMB is cleaning Ogoni what your hero never remembered.

Niger Delta problem is not all about Nigerian governments but the attitudes of most of their so called leaders and youths. Niger Delta is a place that MNCs are asked to settle them or pay "matching ground fee " or "protection fee" before constructing road or building Schools for the villagers. And if the MNCs mistakenly give it to their own son as a contract to build for his people , the money is gone. Is it not crazy that you demand for settlement before an infrastructures you are the sole beneficiary is sited. Their Traditional rulers collects monthly levy from MNCs to train their children in Schools abroad. Asari loved Niger Delta too much but his University is sited in Niger Republic not even in Niger Delta despite he got the money from Niger Delta. Once the leader of NDA and other Militant leaders make their Billion they will disappear like Tompolo, Asari, Boyloaf, Ateke Tom to enjoy the sweat of their hard won "labour". So Most of their Politicians though it's general in most regions collect FG Allocation including 13% Derivation and divert it to personal use. How can Bayelsa owe Civil servant salaries if not for diversion or embezzlement while some states with least Allocation and more population are not owing. Most Niger Deltans hate working but preffers to be monthly paid from proceed of corruption doing nothing. That's why Niger Delta have the highest number of Youth Cult group in Nigeria, that's why Cult related killings are rife.

ojialo:
keep blaming Jonathan, when did we discovered oil in Nigeria? when did that oil well began operation? I guess Jonathan was the president then till 2015.

Keep deceiving yourself.

He just made a point.

The only Juicy position there is that of petroleum(downstream) I don't see anything juicy about Enviroment or national identity.

@ Omenka

Dino is chairman senate committe on FCT

You are right Dino is like the Speaker of FCT with the FCT Minister as the Governor. So there is nothing juicy about Remi 's Chair outside the name juicy as used by Poser.

sirthisthickkal:
The NFF board is frustrated and is suffering from inferiority complex, what does a white coach have that a Nigerian coach doesn't have? We ve had to experienced Nigerian coaches who have taken our boys to finals and won trophies for us. Why can't they just let Nigerian coach do the job instead of wasting our money on foreign coaches who are just here to showcase their white skin, curly hair and gum chewing abilities. still Every time we keep dropping in football ranking. NFF is another top corrupt haven abuzz with occultism that needs an urgent reform and cleansing, it's just a matter of time. Like oliseh, I just hope yusuf won't start complaining of witchcraft hunt too.

Ask yourself since Nigeria has not had Foreign Coach. How far have Nigeria Super Eagles fared internationally?Emotion should never becloud our objective judgement.
Le Guen has just refused a Slavist contract and unrealisable target. Even late Steve Keshi and Sunday Oliseh pointed to NFF Slave - Like Contract. Yusuf have accepted it all because he is desperate for the job not result, so lets see how far can go.

To rent crowd now is Nigeria is cheaper because of accelerated hardship. With #200 as take home, #400 polo, pure water, with poorly prepared rice and soft drink Politicians can even get inscriptions like , "You will Rule Forever", "Made in Heaven " Senator, Governor, Minister etc. And every Nigerian Politician has PA /SA crowd renting matters.

am pretty sure drake would earn 4 times that in a day by just hosting a concert

Drake might stay for complete one month without any show.

Another Refurbished Truck from CAS and Dansuki. I wish them quick recovery.

However, the former minister said in a statement that his wife had high blood pressure and other heart-related ailments and asked security agents not to drag her into the arms probe as she knew nothing about the case.

If you love your wife. Why not come back home?

One of the those things that pisses me off in this country is, more news of "ghost workers " keeps emerging from FG, States, LGAs without news of prosecution or arrest of suspect or "victims". So how will this crime stop? Since when you catch a ghost workers thief and his only "punishment" is please steal no more with publication in a National Daily without details of his/her names .

I tried GLO twice and took Ben Johnson. Their network fluctuates like a sea wave. Any time I had important issues to resolve online the GLO network disappeared. I began to wonder why will I buy a data and they will be treating like it is was free MB. Etisalat all the way... Like Fidelity Bank they kept their words.

Lawyers/Courts are one of the greatest beneficiaries of PMB administration. Thousands of mushroom or back market injunctions, petitions even to ECOWAS, ICJ etc, Stay of Executions, Restraining Order, Jurisdiction issues etc. Some cases like the Senate President CCT Jurisdiction issues ended in Supreme Court and started all over again from Appeal Court just by adding a little salt and pepper to the case file. A Superior Court ruling are been over ridden by Inferior courts ruling. Lawyers I hail una....

Some Landlords are crazy and can make crazy laws to guard their properties . Some Landlord will have as law forbidding you to from putting any nail to your room walls without first of all fitting the rooms with cotton, power change over , fitted LCD, equipped kitchen, upholstery etc. Tenants too have right to privacy as enshrined in 1999 constitution, but these Tenant over reacted by using knife on the Landlord. My advice is always if your Landlord have these crazy laws, look for another apartment elsewhere and let the dead bury their dead. Some of them will even forbid you from having visitors or will restrict you to like two visitors in a day.

Bad market for SKY Bank. Why would not over stretched Nigerians not withdraw all their hard earned money? CBN could have made this secret so as not to scare their customers complicating the issue.

Plus FG Tuesday & Wednesday next week Public Holidays Dr Ogah's swearing in will wait till Thursday 7th next week except he outsmart the Governor by arranging it tonight that's the only option available with this development. Dr Okezie needs time to perfects his legal and war chest arsenal. It's high powered politics. How many former Minister's or Diplomat death in Nigeria has elicited a Public Holiday?

tuale4u:
this is to prevent possible swearing in of ogah 2moro as Governor. Just me thinking. Not base on any fact. Just base on d fact dat politicians in Nigeria can do anything to maintain power.

Dr Ikpeazu could have run fast to INEC to "settle" not to issue the Certificate of Return to Dr Ogah. This Dr Ogah guy seemed to have perfected his way even though INEC. Where was INEC when Supreme Court ordered for the withdrawal of Certificate of Return from Senator Andy Uba, Senator Uche Ekwunife and Issued same to Chris Uba and co. Where was INEC when same Federal High Court ruled for Dr Ikpeazu's Certificate of Return be returned and issued to Alex Otti. Most Nigerian Court is cash and carry or pay as you go. Dr Ogah might be sworned in today or next by Ebonyi or Rivers Chief Judge. Dr Ikpeazu and Senator T A Oji might have lost this battle to this multi billionaire Dr Ogah. Alex Otti will be bracing up to go court again to ask the court to nullify the PDP result into to, and to declare him winner as the Second Runner Up since the then PDP Candidate was not qualify to stand for the said election. Lawyer go chop nah
