Aba is by far a bigger city than Umuahia which is the state capital

Goddex: . . . a Buhari and Tinubu party rule over Anambra? . . . then start awarding 1KM road for 1 billion naira. . . then use part of the inflated percentage to oil the two godfathers' political machineries in Kaduna/Katsina and Lagos respectively. . . then use another part to settle the boys in Borno and Yobe to manufacture more bombs to kill more Igbo sons and daughters living in northern Nigeria. This should not even be imagined.

Ngige is mingling with the wrong people

Fools, they will all run again to the PDP before 2015 elections

@OP
Have your thieving opposition governors in Oyo, Ekiti, Zamfara, Borno, Yobe, Ondo, Anambra, Nasarawa etc fared any better? What have you personally gained from them? If you live in Lagos, in what way has Fashola personally touched your live? Keep deceiving yourself by thinking the PDP is the cause of your poverty.

Über-Pissed:
He is damaged goods or is it that the fancy packaging has been removed and all that can be seen is a cheap bigot.

PDP is a national party a sectional politician like fashola will not fit in.

Besides sef, they is no rumours like that. This dormant Senator just want to make news

Ngige should not bother wasting his money and time.
Why is it difficult to know when to call it quit?

These ASUU guys greedy. Simple

I admire this governor - Imoke. A silent performer.
However, below is the killer punch.

“So while they are making noise in the newspapers, there is one effective NGF that is actually working for the benefit of all the governors and all the states of the federation. That is the reality,” Imoke said.

This is IMPUNITY at its peak. Is this how APC plans to rule Nigeria? I dey laugh oh. . . the same noisemakers that were wasting scarce resources on solidarity visit to Ameachi claiming Jonathan was victimising him?

Rubbish news from a rubbish news media.
When Ameachi called his own meeting we had only 15 governors in attendance. Meaning about 4 governors are indifferent. And again, Jang is currently doing a fourth term as governor. He was military governor of two states and now doing a second term as civilian governor so the junks from Sahara Liars can't fly.

The manner these APC rascals talk most times amazes me. Imagine an old man like Akande opening his mouth wide like an area boy. Akande who does not have any legacy to show for in Osun State where he is former governor. Even to imagine that this same old fool using gutter language is the "Chairman" of APC . . . tufiakua

If these APC hired agents will not destroy the Gas pipelines again just to sabotage the effort of government at improving Power Supply.

Very reassuring statement from a true son of Oduduwa.
Ondo state looks like the only sane state in South West at the moment. God bless you Kayode. For you to have vied a senatorial seat in the FCT means you are a true Nigerian not the likes of some village champions who hardly travel outside Lagos/South West Fashola inclusive. I particularly like this your comment.

“I am certain he would by now have spent much more to clear the messy fallout of his precipitous action than he would have spent to “rehabilitate” these poor victims of executive intemperance and high handedness.”

“Let it be known that Fashola’s influence in Yorubaland does not extend beyond his Lagos State

Hell - Rufai is it your salaries that acquired you buildings and choice lands in Abuja, Lagos, Kano and Kaduna? You are one of the criminals.

gudugba: That fool should keep his mouth deep into his anus....

Truth is bitter. Don't worry, you or a member of your household will be a victim of Fashola's deportation, say Amen.

Saladin1: Igbo people rejecting APC now, make dem no cry of marginalisation when political office is being shared. They will forget when the likes of Tinubu and Buhari are sacrificing to build the party and they will expect to get automatic nomination for presidency. Anyways I will prefer Ngige for vice president if Anambra people let emotion cloud their judgement.

Your APC is going nowhere. Stop fooling yourself.

Ngige is a disgrace to Ndigbo.
His actions in this deportation saga sold him out. Unfortunately, many non-easterners who ignorantly spew rubbish on nairaland will not be there to vote on election day, so?

Progressive my bumb bumb.
Does Buhari look anything progressive?
Awarding 1km of road at 1 billion naira is progressiveness?

Kewt: RE: ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC) SHOULD LEARN SOME DECENCY FROM THE PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Dear Mr. Ogundamisi,
My attention has been drawn to the statement your posted on your
blog on Thursday, Aug. 8th 2013 concerning my scheduled
appearance on your programme, PolitrickTodaywithKO.
It is true that I agreed to appear on the show on the same date, and
as a clear indication of this, I set up a Skype Account and forward
the ID to you. There could not have been a better testimony to my
sincere intentions.
However, I informed you that I will be travelling to Accra, Ghana, on
that day, and should be ready for the programme once I arrived.
Unfortunately, by the time I arrived in Accra, cleared immigration,
collected my luggage and headed to my hotel, much time had
elapsed. Upon arriving at the hotel, the Internet acted up all night,
making it impossible for me to appear on the programme as
scheduled.
If I didn't call you immediately to alert you of this developments, it
was due to the fact that while my number is roamed, it did not
immediately come on stream when I arrived in Accra. When it did
come on, it was too late for me to call. I therefore decided I would
call you first thing on Friday to explain my inability to appear and to
also express my regrets.
Sadly, by the time I woke up, my attention was called to your posting
which was not only blatantly unfair but contained a number of
inaccuracies. Let's treat them one by one
1. You wrote categorically that I called you four hours to the show: I
hereby state categorically, also, that I did not speak with you on
Thursday, Aug. 8th.
2. You wrote that I ''hinted'' at wanting to have prepared questions,
and that this request was politely rejected: This could not have
happened because I didn't speak with you at all that day, talk less of
doing so four hours to the programme.
For the record, I grant media interviews to Nigerian and International
media routinely, and not once have I ever asked to be given
prepared questions.
3. You also wrote that one hour to the programme, you went on
Skype and found me on the line: I could not have been on the line
when I was on the road and had no access to the Internet, or when I
reached the hotel and the Internet was not working. If you called
and my phone was ''switched off'', it could either mean I was in the
air (during which passengers were compelled to switch off their
phones), or that the roaming had not registered when I arrived in
Accra.
I have gone to this length to explain what happened on Thursday to
debunk your insinuation that I deliberately refused to appear on the
programme, and that I did not pick your calls when you tried to reach
me.
I must put on record that you rushed to judgement on your blog.
Though you started off by saying you would ''hold back and give
him a benefit of doubt'', you did none of the two. If you were holding
back, you would have waited for, at the least, one day to hear from
me before reaching any conclusion. If you were giving me the
benefit of the doubt, you would not have tried to
denigrate my person and the party I represent so unconscionably.
I am grossly disappointed at your rush to judgement and the
aspersion you sought to cast on my person. Your characterization
does not reflect my person, as I am sure you will find out when you
inquire from your colleagues.
But worst of all, you erred by making such a blanket statement about
a whole party. For a man like you who claimed to be a victim of
injustice, you needed to have been more circumspect before being
so unfair not just to another person but to a corporate entity.
I do hope you will give my response the same treatment that you
accorded your own view on the matter.
Alhaji Lai Mohammed
Interim National Publicity Secretary
All Progressives Congress (APC)
Accra, Aug. 8th 2013


Alahji Lai Mohhamed's Rejoinder! I stand by my earlier publication.

Kayode Ogundamisi
[b]I stand by my earlier statement, I dialed Alh Lai in the studio in the
presence of 3 witnesses including an 11 year old child and also
including Profesor Okey Ndibe who was in the studio with
productions crew, Mr Lai Mohammed's Skype ID was not only ON
but clearly indicating 'CALL REJECTED' by other party.
Mr Lai's phone rang severally and simple call logs can show this and
at every point calls where not being picked and then switched off.
I am surprised Mr Mohammed is now claiming he did not speak to
me on the day of the programme, this again is easily verifiable by
phone records and contrary to suggestions demanding I produce
recordings of the conversation. I believe it is unprofessional to
secretly record a phone conversation without the consent of the
other party. I will suggest Mr Lai party APC should provide him with
a technology assistance, especially after his disclosure that he's just
opening a SKYPE account in 2013. That is not acceptable for a
National Publicity Secretary of a party that hopes to lead Nigeria to
the next millennium.[/b]
Kayode Ogundamisi

I will easily believe Mr Kayode at least given Mr Lai's antecedents as a liar. Kayode has also provided witnesses including the much respected Prof Okey Ndibe.

seanet02: [s][/s]
Hogwash and complete rubbish

It's your type Mr Kayode is talking about here.

Shame on those Alausa criminals.
Despite all the loans.

I heard T.Y. Danjuma has rejected advances from APC to make him their Presidential candidate insisting he remains a PDP man and loyal to Jonathan. Abati has accused them of rushing to form a party only to realise later they do not have a credible candidate to fly the flag. APC will most likely go to the PDP again to outsource a Presidential candidate.

Many Nigerian cities are salivating for such ten lanes expressways and our Abuja senators are complaining because of open gutters on the side at some points because it affects them. Although I live in Lagos, I have personally driven severally on those ten lanes expressways and can confirm they remain the best roads in this country. Abuja is not the only city in Nigeria to swallow all Nigeria's wealth. Money should also trickle down to other states for development. I agree the road should be of modern standard but if this is a ploy by Senate Committee on FCT to attract additional budgetary allocation to those roads Nigerians should rise up and say NO! Each time I travel to Abuja I ask myself if that city actually exist in this same Nigeria.

wilxz: I believe thess are Rivers state people in Lagos, they have every right to protest about events happening in their home state.

Lol, those guys I see with facial marks and Muslim hijabs cannot be Rivers people. Majority of Rivers people are not with Ameachi except those in his government and their families. If you have anyone of them around you, interview him and post his reply.

Goddex: Atleast my South West brothers also need their own share of the Niger Delta Oil money. Governor Ameachi spray me the money!!!! Never a dull moment in Naija.
Let us also wait for another sponsored rally from the BokoHaramists in Niger, Kano and Jigawa.

But seriously, most of them look so hungry and come across like they do not have an idea of what they were called out to come and do.

Bros no dulling. Guys are hungry na.

uniqueval: Most of them can't even read the placards they are carrying... #HIREDilliterates

Hahahahahaha especially the guy on the last picture down. Looks like he was lured in there because of the Free T-shirt

Longeria: Slaves in Tinubu slave camp. What's their business with Rivers state, can't they protest the conversion of Lagos to Tinubu estate.

Rented crowd!!
Rented crowd!!
Rented crowd!!
Rented crowd!!
Rented crowd!!
Rented crowd!!
It's really very funny. So, how much of Rivers money did Ameachi pay to stage this?

theoctopus: There is nothing like legislative immunity for Nigerian legislators. The only protection for legislators is protection from libel for things they say in their discussions within the chamber. Only Nigerian presidents and governors have immunity. Most of you ACN supporters here on NL are not only childish, but you are very stup1d too. And there is no way a court will throw a case out in the first day of sitting. The first day will actually be spent soliciting for things like bail for the defendant.

All of you ACN kids on NL make PDP look so good. Your attitude, tribalism and hypocrisy will actually help to deliver 2015 to PDP. If this is what ACN has sent you guys out to do, then they are very stup1d too.

I feel you bros

souldust: kudos ma brother. Keep it coming. Since our media has become too lazy to report good news and therefore have forefieted their blessing, i pray that you recieve their share as you continue to keep us in good mood. May God bless you

Punch and co are busy magnifying Rivers crisis. They are reporting Ameachi, PEJ, PDP "crisis" etc and do not have time for the various developmental projects going on around the country.. .lol

Hahahahahaha hahahahahaha
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hahahahahaha hahahahahaha
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Shame on Buhari!!!
These BokoHaramists are angry with the way Jonathan is unleashing havoc at their men in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa. They should stop using Rivers state as excuse. I was in Port Harcourt throughout last week and it was as peaceful as ever. People are going about their normal duties. Port Harcourt residents only read about the so-called crisis on pages of newspapers. Why will Yerima and Buhari take panadol for another man's headache? Why won't they remove the log from their own eye before taking out the hair from Rivers people. Shame on all of them!!!! Bunch of loosers!!!!
