Nairaland / General / Mr Macaroni Calls Out Buhari Led Administration by gistongist: 12:01pm On Jan 26, 2021
Mr Macaroni, a renowned social media comedian and content maker, has faulted the Buhari-led administration over the way he is dealing with the crisis of herdsmen.

Mr. Macaroni claimed that no “Nigerian is more Nigerian than the other,” describing the new administration as a “government of the herdsmen, by the herdsmen and for the herdsmen.”



Government of the herdsmen, by the herdsmen and for the herdsmen.

No Nigerian is more Nigerian than the other.

As many rights as the herdsmen have to graze, so does other Nigerians have to live.

When did grazing become series of killing and kidnapping? @MBuhari please be President for all!!!!!”

He continued:
“Growing up, I saw a lot of herdsmen graze peacefully.

I’m sure a lot of us did.

They were so organized and even friendly.

What changed?

And now that so much violence is involved, why can’t the government call them to order?

This insecurity has lasted too long!!

Innocent Nigerians are being killed and kidnapped day in day out because herdsmen have gone rogue!

The Government hasn’t done anything to control the situation!

Don’t let anyone bully you for speaking against gross Nepotism.

Every Nigerian deserves to live.

And that’s all!!!”

Mr Macaroni also mocked President Buhari with his infamous 2015 speech of “I am for everybody and I am for Nobody”.

He tweeted further;

“I am for everybody and I am for Nobody” Tule Joor!!!!

Nairaland / General / Man U, Liverpool Play Out Barren Draw At Anfield by gistongist: 9:57am On Jan 18, 2021
Liverpool and Manchester United could only play out a goalless draw at Anfield as a game billed as a title race marker failed to provide a finish.

Five days after knocking the champions off their Premier League perch with victory at Burnley, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side were hoping to further assert heavyweight title credentials at the home of their fiercest foes.

In this truest test, the hosts’ long unbeaten league run on Merseyside never looked under real threat until late on, when Alisson made two vital saves to deny Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba from close range.

But Liverpool, in Jurgen Klopp’s 200th Premier League game, found the breakthrough elusive themselves during a contest in which they dominated the ball for long spells but struggled for attacking fluidity, and have now failed to score for a third Premier League game in a row.

Manchester United stay three points clear of Liverpool, whom they meet again in the FA Cup on next Sunday, at the top of the table, with Leicester – a point above the Reds – between them.

Questions will linger about both sides and this was a result to offer encouragement to Manchester City – who will close the gap if they beat Crystal Palace later on Sunday – as well as to Tottenham and Brendan Rodgers’ side.

Nairaland / General / US House Speaker Reveals Plans To Impeach Trump by gistongist: 1:05pm On Jan 11, 2021
US House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi said Sunday she would push ahead with efforts to remove President Donald Trump from office during the final days of his administration after his supporters’ violent attack on the Capitol.

Pelosi, the top Democrat in Congress, said there would be a resolution in the House of Representatives on Monday calling for the cabinet to remove Trump as unfit for office under the constitution’s 25th amendment.

If Vice President Mike Pence does not agree, “we will proceed with bringing impeachment legislation” to the floor of the House of Representatives, Pelosi said.

“In protecting our Constitution and our Democracy, we will act with urgency, because this President represents an imminent threat to both,” she said.

“As the days go by, the horror of the ongoing assault on our democracy perpetrated by this President is intensified and so is the immediate need for action.”

Trump was already impeached once by the Democratic-controlled House — in December 2019 for pressuring the leader of Ukraine to dig up political dirt on Joe Biden.

He was acquitted by the Republican-majority Senate.

Though time is running short, Democrats likely have the votes in the House to impeach Trump again and could even draw some Republican support for the move.

But they are unlikely to muster the two-thirds majority needed to convict Trump in the 100-member Senate and remove him from office.

Trump’s successor, Joe Biden is due to be inaugurated on January 20.

Shuaib spoke at a press briefing by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja.

He said, “On Tuesday, I had mentioned that we will like to see a situation where Mr President, the Vice President, the SGF, critical leaders come and take the vaccine in full glare of the public to demonstrate that this vaccine is safe.

“So, we have to make provisions for those. But even in developed countries, what we have seen is that apart from the prioritisation of health workers, you have to also identify critical leaders that you don’t want them to be wiped off by the virus.
