donphilopus: Sincere 9gerian in action, with his alternate moniker! Smh

egift: God bless the Man-Of-The-People! PDP could not even manage a free opportunity. Gov. Adams keep up the good work.

20pounds: Pls I have a few questions.

1. Why is it that the members of the opposition are in support of ASUU? Is it borne out of love for ASUU or the students and their parents? Is ASUU another arm of the APC now? Is it borne out of hatrd for d govt and pull him down syndrome?

2. Since ASUU said it is fighting for the interest of the students, can we conduct a poll among the students to know if they want to go back to classes or continue with the strike?

3. If FG pays ASUU for d period they hav bn at home, who is going to pay the students for lost time and rent that have accrued on their apartments? Since ASUU is fighting for the students, let dem consider their salaries as part of d sacrifice just as d students have sacrificed time and rent on this strike.

4. Should any responsible govt sit down and watch the future of the youngsters truncated by any organisation?

5. When last I checked ASUU is a trade union that fights for the interest of the lecturers or has it become an arm of NANS? If not, then the ASUU that I know was set up to fight for lecturers interest.

6. Why is this strike about money and not forcing govt to erect d structures instead of asking to be handed d money?

[size=20pt]Meanwhile, the House said yesterday that despite the defection of five nPDP govern-ors, nothing will change in its leadership as no member has so far communicated to the leader-ship of his intention to move.

Deputy spokesman of the House, Mr. Victor Ogene (APGA, Anambra), said until such a time when members formally declare their intention, the House remains the way it is.
He said Section 68 (1) of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, provides that members can only defect to another political party in group base on merger agreement, but that what was happening in PDP cannot be defined as such.

He said: “In politics, things like this happen. But as a House, we remain one. Section 68 (1) (g) of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, says people cannot cross carpet in group except in merger situation.
“But defection has to do with individual member. So if they’re defecting, the proper thing must be done by activating that section of the constitution.

“As at now, we are not aware of any member defecting to another party. Remember, going by our rule, until a party has 181 members, you can’t talk of having the majority.”

gregg2: Tribalism is Nigeria's biggest problem. It's not a coincidence that:

1) All the Board of Trustee members of the Award agency are from South West and ACN/APC politicians.

2) All the so-called judges are from South West

3) The First, Second and Third positions are all South West papers sympathetic to ACN/APC dishing out APC propaganda

4) So, The Nation and National Mirror are by these awards better than Guardian, The Sun, Daily Times, Daily Trust, Vanguard and even Thisday because they are not South West papers?

Sincere 9gerian: Majority of the mainstream media houses have turned deaf ears to this development. Where is Tinubu's Punch, Nations, Osundefender, Premium Times,etc? What about the santimonous imbecilles that pontificate for us on NL? Okay, they'r still busy examining the age of an aircraft with electronic microscope all in a bid to find fault in whatever Stella Oduah does.
