$1.6M was converted to N360,000 000! Just look at that figure.

CFCman:
These people must be jokers

Bunch of jokers!

OreMI22:
How much will you fine the government and its security agencies for abusing Nigerians?


To begin with, how many Nigerians fly the nigerian flag?
Laws like this when nobody pays attention to citizens brutalized and killed everyday is what makes Nigeria a laughing stock.

It is like all members of NASS have been bewitched by an evil spell. They have become shameless. Instead of facing key issues, they are busy with irrelevant stuffs that have no direct bearing on the welfare of the citizenry. A clear case of misplaced priority. What a shame!

Good. But when he finally gets there, please, don't forget to update us with pics and videos from the mosque. For now, he is still on the way.

Yeah, Buhari's continued absence is no big deal. Stagnation on the budget is no big deal either. How these affect payments, interest paid on loans; salaries, school fees, food on the cmon man's table . . . they couldn't care less so long as their immoral allowances are steady.

The present NASS under the leadership of Saraki is supposed to be a blessing to this country. This is because, his choice was not influenced by the Executives. DSP is from an opposition party with many members. And Saraki has the support of many across party lines. Thus, there is a balance of power btw the Executive and the Legislature. But the NASS is not using this to our advantage, but rather, for their own benefit. And when you consider how some wicked people in Aso Villa are pushing PMB on a collision course with the Senate, then you will realize that we are in trouble, due to lack of harmony btw the 2 arms. Hence, imp national issues ar not given the needed attention.

That is the plan. Destroy farmlands, chase away the natives, occupy farms and villages for a very long time. When the weaklings they call government mediates in the matter, it would cede some farmlands (especially those close to rivers) to the Fulanis as grazing land.

Peace would reign for about a decade, then herdsmen strike again this time with greater evil. Government settles them like before.

Before you know it, they have surreptitiously taken over the state with their bretheren from North-West, Chad, Niger, Mali, etc.

It is a well coordinated and strategically planned war by the Hausa-Fulani Northern Hegemony. They know what they are doing, but pretend its just herdsmen and farmers clashing. It's a shame the middle-belt, and the South is yet to see the larger picture.

EXCELLENT ANALYSIS! K9ine i have no doubts in my mind whatsoever that what is happening in Benue State is a well organized and coordinated plan to subdue and take over the Benue Valley.

Its amazing. I don't even know whether the issue was mentioned at all in today's plenary session at the red chamber. All am reading today is how some of them are fast turning to cry babies saying EFCC is after them. What a country!

@tyokunbo.
It is Buruku not Bukuru.
About the topic. Just this evening, i was discussing with a colleague about food scarcity in Benue State ocassioned by the activities of those beasts called herdsmen. They have occupied large hectares of farmlands. Farming activities have been crippled to a large extent, leading to acute food shortage.

His house should be searched all the same. In case we wants to blackmail the EFCC.

Was reliably informed that most PDP goons has the countries wealth in their homes. They should be searched to their panties if possible

... searched to their panties...
This got me laughing.

FavoredGuy:
Ikechukwu, u dey make small sense before but this one? Na lie oooo! Hooohaaaa!

Hahahahaha..
Knowing that these people have CCTV installed in their mansions as well as security operatives on guard 24/7 makes me doubt the validity of their claims.

Qmerit:
For the first time in the history of democracy in Nigeria high profile politicians cry like babies....My advice.... Go about your job and fear not if you re clean....and if they do and you have evidence sue EFCC at once.

Nice comment.

Independent candidacy should be allowed.

Wish him speedy recovery. Health first.

A leader may be good but his govt easily destroyed by the people surrounding him. We have seen it before. Those who did not take time to read Aisha's interview in Feb should do so and try to corelate her statements with what is happening now. She was right. Aisha is intelligent. Some faceless cabals have taking the whole country hostage. They are ruthlessly destroying our democracy with impunity. Time for our religious, political and opinion leaders to act is NOW before it will be too late. PMB is leader of ALL Nigeria. He may have good intentions for this country. But the fact is that, he mistakenly brought some morons into his govt and they are busy playing their own games.

factsandfigures:
Please let us be fair to PMB. Someone who is very sick may not be in a position to take decisions about his health. It is rather sad that those that PMB trusted are now holding him captive for their selfish gains. They have succeeded in side-lining his wife and immediate family. In saner society the members of the so call Cabal would have been arrested for treason. Why risk the life of our president because of selfish political power?
At the end of the day, the coming generation will not blame the CABAL but the elites, prominent religion leaders and elderstatemen who kept silence as the wolfs ravages our presidents.

WHAT AN EXCELLENT COMMENT! It is really sad! They have completely pushed away the wife from the husband since the day she opened up on the activities of the cabal. This is the height of wickedness and inhumanity. Aisha has been effectively silenced and denied access to her husband. Something needs to be done ASAP.

Am checking to find the author of the message. And the OP has not even mentioned the person who made it available to the Press. Na wao.

Brb

I thought they have started. Forget. This may just be politics. Na today. Let them start before i will send my commendations. A whole food basket of the nation, and there is no single fertilizer company. If Ortom will achieve this feat, he will conveniently outscore Akume and Suswam. Inability to set up agrochemical and agro-processing industries in Benue State is my reason for persistently critising the 2 Ex-Governors.

What is even stopping the NASS to debate and pass this year's budget? And Saraki is not even talking about it. What is happening?

"Nigerians do not need to worry about the President's health status." Can you see this nonsensical statement? I don't even know what those in the Presidential Villa take the masses for. We have every reason to worry. We elected him. If he is physically fit, then let us see him. Let him take command of the Govt at the Fed Level so that, all these average morons in the Presidential Villa dishing out orders in the name of Presidency will stop. Anyway, we are still the electorates. No problem. Just a matter of time.

The use of the word "Presidency" is fast becoming nonsensical and embarassing. We all know the different offices in the Presidential Villa. Let these cabal be specific for once and stop this nonsense of Presidency.

@Sexybbstar. I would like to pm you for a discussion. Waiting for your permission. Thanks.

Insightful!

For those of us who frequently travel through those routes, it is an understatement to say the roads are bad.

Good job OP. Am glad you have stated the facts.

muyibaba222:
Oga we know they are foolish. But Buhari brought this to himself in the name of being a democrat. I only pity the democracy we all enjoy being threatened by the Senate. There is a cabal in the Senate that have their say just like it's happening in presidency.

FACT. FIXED.

Recent events from the Red Chamber have shown clearly that, crooks are in charge. The decision of the Senate in connivance with DSS to reject Magu, the suspension of Ndume and the purported summon of Sagay are more than enough reasons for PMB to act as a C-in-C. As a matter of fact, this is the time for the President to take decisive measures to tame Saraki permanently. But alas, PMB is not the one ruling this country. It is now crystal clear, this government has been hijacked! Aisha was very correct.

This is the most stupid decision taken by these looters. They have completely tarnished their image. Ndume did not accused Saraki and Dino of wrongdoing. He only suggested the allegations levelled against them by the press be investigated. If there are good Senators among them, let them declare their stands now: To be loyal to Saraki or Nigeria. Saraki has never been a military officer but he has dictatorial tendencies. He is trying to conquer Nigeria the same way he did Kwara State. But let us not lose hope. Danladi Umar should come to our rescue.

modelmike7:
80% of the senators are rogues and criminals. They have never missed their salaries and bogus allowances for just a month, they only sit and crack rubbish jokes in the house, bunch of corrupt souls. It is so appaling when you read that a Nigerian senator earns "9 times" of what his American counterpart earns in a year!!... To make matters worse, you see some jobless Nigerian youths making case and support the corrupt senators that have no plans for them, but only to suck their future dry (2017 Budget is still under there table since there is no more way for padding). . . God help our country.

Most of the Senators don't even know their mission in that place. They are representing not their people but their stupid personal aims. It is unfortunate.

Blue3k:
He made alot of claims; let's see what myth busters have say about these claims. Hopefully after this gets front page if people read it. Most people comment without reading a thing especially these loge articles.

●The killing are being done by Gala not herdsmen.
● There's less herdsmen violence in state than before.
● Rivers State is more violent than Benue State.
● Government has equipment and manpower to track herdsmen and rustlers.
● Herdsmen are currently facing trial in the State for weapons charges.
● Soldiers don't have ties with violent herdsment

Brother. The Governor is only trying to be 'politically correct'.
