I will advise any sane person to stay clear of the northern part of Nigeria..looks like they have something going with their head..they can no longer think due to excess brainwashing from their religion...

Right at this moment Islam is a danger.. a danger to the world's security..a danger to itself...It may have been a forward looking ideology some 1200 years ago but it got stuck..

Only if todays Muslims are willing to revise their faith will the religion have a chance to survive...If not either they will destroy civilization or civilization will destroy them...

Hence the reason why the VP looked lost, uncomfortable, and out of place. That was not his crowd, shitting where you eat is never a good thing.

Even Aregbe retraced his steps, Aregbe did not even take the bait when the VP made the unfortunate and thoughtless comment about the info on his nomination as the VP coming from Aregbe.

It's one thing to contest against Tinubu, it's another thing to throw jabs at him, it was not even a small jab, it was a big jab basically disassociating himself from Tinubu and that Tinubu is and was irrelevant before and during the nomination process.

Pains me to see the man rubbish and relegate himself down to a puerile and political amateur level.

Look at the whole APC political structure at the federal and state level including state governors, they are obviously distancing themselves from the VP. To them, if you are so bold to do this to your own political benefactor and your own Yoruba brother, you can never be trusted.

Northerners are very loyal people, they know how to repay loyalty and goodwill and there's a reason why they are shouting "It's time to pay back".

Apart from Igbos who are never going to vote for him regardless of their silly noise on social media and fanboys on Twitter, serious political actors across the country are avoiding him politically.

maasoap:


Have you confirmed that rice and other banned items will be allowed to come in? That was what I looking for in the report but I didn't see it. Otherwise, it is just rants upon rants

yuzjet:
They are mad. Just because election is coming. There was no reason for the closure right from the onset.

This alone is enough for Southwesterners to vote out APC for intentionally depriving many of their source of livelihood.

Now, show me one positive contribution the closure of the border has brought to the southwest aside inflation in the prices of foods and food shortage?

This administration will go down as the most wicked, useless and clueless in the history of Nigeria democracy.

jazon:
N0nsense government.
Election is here. Why did you make life difficult for citizens in The first place?
The price of rice doubled because of this mumu shutting down of border, meanwhile local rice production never increased one bit. So we just suffered for nothing. Even while the border was shut, we still bought the smuggled rice at a higher price.
Subjecting millions of people to untold hardship. Nonsense!

NOBODY CAN SAVE NIGERIA
NIGERIA IS A FAILED COLONIAL PROJECT
YORUBA NATION NOW

MadamVanessa:




Yes, he's a betrayer and a traitor. He betrayed the entire Yoruba tribe. Due to his ambition of becoming the president, he said nothing about the killing of the Yorubas by the Fulani terrorists. The good people of Yoruba tribe helplessly ran to faraway Benin republic and Cote D'Ivoire to seek succour , yet still, Tinubu refused to comment on it or lend a helping hands to his own people but ran to Zamfara and donate 50million to victims of terrorists attack.

Osibanjo didn't betrayed the thief, Osinbajo have the right to contest just like other Nigerians, provided you've what it takes. Tinubu betrayed the whole tribe, the tribe that made him who he's today.

Lepon02:
To what end is Femi Adesina going to continue to defend the indefensible?

Continue to cover up for and push back for accountability that Buhari should be held up to?

Absolute disgrace of a human being, power is transient Femi and you will be a commoner one day, walahi, whatever your eyes see for the wretched rest of your live, you better live with it!

Oloriburuku eniyan!

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has knocked the Northern Elders Forum for asking the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to resign over his handling of insecurity challenges bedeviling the country.

This is as he also alleged that the NEF position was borne out of the members’ frustration after they allegedly failed to be part of Buhari’s regime.

Adesina revealed this in an article titled, ‘Hiding under the umbrella of insecurity’, and shared on his official Facebook page on Thursday.

The PUNCH reports that NEF had on Tuesday asked Buhari to resign for failing to provide security in the country. The forum made the demand in a statement by its spokesperson, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed.

It said it was disappointing that after nearly seven years of being in office, Buhari still has no answers to security challenges across the country.

The statement read in part, “The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari does not appear to have answers to the challenges of security to which we are exposed.

“We cannot continue to live and die under the dictates of killers, kidnappers, rapists, and sundry criminal groups that have deprived us of our rights to live in peace and security.

“Our constitution has provisions for leaders to voluntarily step down if they are challenged by personal reasons or they prove incapable of leading.”

But reacting to the NEF’s position in his article, Adesina alleged that NEF was peopled with “self-seeking individuals” who had hoped will get the better of the regime after Buhari’s electoral victory in 2015.

He wrote, “The point of interest today is the hackneyed calls on President Buhari to resign over the country’s security challenges, the latest coming from a so-called Northern Elders Forum (NEF), a group I’d once described as “Generals without troops.”

“The Forum is largely made of angry, bitter, self-seeking individuals, who had thought they would be leading President Buhari by the nose when he emerged in 2015. In fact, key personalities in the group made strenuous efforts to be part of the administration. When they didn’t succeed, they became adversaries.

“It is on record that NEF had always opposed the Buhari administration since its gambit failed, and before the 2019 presidential election, it openly endorsed Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party as next President.

“And that completely vitiates whatever position the Forum adopts today. It is partisan, bilious, by no means neutral. It is from a self-serving standpoint.”

Furthermore, the presidential aide argued that there were issues of insecurity globally and that the President was sparing no effort in securing Nigeria and Nigerians.

“Between 2009 and 2022, there were at least 271 mass shootings in United States of America, resulting in 1,518 people killed, and 980 wounded. Just this week, there has been the Brooklyn Subway Shooting, in which at least 23 people were critically injured.

“vIn all these, did you hear calls for the resignation of any American President? It is on record that last year was the deadliest in a decade, in terms of mass shootings. Have you heard of calls for the resignation of President Joe Biden by a caterwauling band? No.”

“Every life is important. No single life should be taken wantonly. Not in America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and definitely not in Nigeria. And when challenges occur, as we currently have, it should not be turned to a leaky political umbrella, from under which you hide to express hatred and malice.

“That is what is happening in Nigeria today. Individuals, groups, organizations, political parties, who had been against President Muhammadu Buhari, and who had been given bloody noses at the polls, are now using the smokescreen of insecurity to vent their spleen.

“We failed to oust him through the ballot box, let’s run him out of town by another means. Let’s instigate the country against him. But majority of Nigerians know better.”

Gkemz:
Buhari has really dealt with Nigeria with wicked and antipeople's government policies with the aim to looting the nation's treasury dry and causing economic pain to the masses.

The 3 core mission of Buhari to Nigeria is;

To steal and loot the nation's treasury dry.

To kill it's citizens.

To destroy the entire nation.

So tell me... Is Buhari different from Satan?

Zico5:
In fact, these guys should sell the country and let's share the money. Another 6 trillion loan at the level Nigeria is operating. Who are those fools even borrowing this man money? Can't they see the handwriting on the wall that this country has collapsed. What are they using money accrued from selling crude oil on, what of monthly taxes, value added taxes, import duty many more like that. To be sincere, these people are cursed.

Tumbulum:
bla bla bla. Many of you can't reason beyond your sentiment. This school has rules and regulations and then children of ismael will just come and say they want to change it because government funds the school. Who is funding the Islamiya school? Can you allow Christian come to islamiya school and be speaking in tongues and shouting Jesus is king?

JAMO84:
Rubbish


CAN took the hijab matter to Court, they lost woefully in both the high court and the appeal court.



Government run those schools from the taxes collected from citizens, including Muslims. Nobody will deny our girls their fundamental right to wear hijab at all time.




CAN should sue the government and get their schools back, after which they can allow children to wear pants and bra to Joschool.




Failure to comply with the Court judgement will be terrible. Those schools will remain shut forever.




I AM DONE TALKING

The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has given reasons why the President, Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), would not sign the new electoral law insisting that the law has not captured the interest of all Nigerians.

He stated this in a phone-in program on Radio Kano while responding to questions on Sunday.

He said the new electoral law has an excessive cost implication, is discriminatory, as well as supportive of insecurity adding that signing it into law will only initiate a new crisis that will lead to court cases.

“What you should understand about the leadership of the country most especially as it regards President Muhammadu Buhari on any law presented to him for signing, the President is entitled to certain rights.

“When you talk about politics he has rights, if you talk about the economy, the business community also have rights on him, if you are talking about 60% of Nigerians that are not politicians, if you talk about the economy he also has rights, if you are talking about security, there is also what is expected from him. The President has to consider laws that are sustainable.

“The job of the President is that of politics, economy, business, security, legislation, politicians and non-politicians. This is because the leadership of the country is not for the politicians alone, it is a leadership that affects the social life of the people, their religion, economy, security and others. This is contrary to the leadership of the legislators which is solely political.

“Therefore, the lawmakers are only concerned about their political inclination while the President is concerned about the entire lives of Nigerians made up of politicians and non-politicians.

“Any bill signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari is in the interest of all Nigerians irrespective of their inclinations. He is after satisfying the interest of the over 200 million Nigerians he is serving and not a particular sector,” the Minister stated.

He further described the financial burden in the new electoral bill not signed by the president.

He further described the financial burden in the new electoral bill not signed by the president.

“For example, one of the reasons is that there are 18 political parties and a law is founded that will allow for direct primaries. The difference between this and the general election is small because it allows for all Nigerians to come about and say their opinions.

“This means that you will repeat the general elections 18 times. Today INEC requires N305 billion for the 2023 general elections. Now if the general election, which is not the newly proposed electoral system, will cost this much, how much will it cost to do the same election in the APC? It might cost at least N200 billion because it will involve everyone.

“Although the good side of the law is that INEC is required to monitor it. Therefore, if it is assumed that every political party will spend N200 billion, how much will then be spent in conducting the same primary election in 18 political parties just to produce a qualified candidate?

“Let’s assume there are about 60 million politicians in the country, what about the remaining over 160 million Nigerians who have nothing to do with politics? Are you fair to them? All the people want are good projects, good roads from Abuja to Kano, portable drinking water, good education, school feeding programme and the rest of them. Are you fair to the 160 million Nigerians using their wealth just to conduct primary elections to produce a party candidate, despite other demands by the public?

“My answer to this is that, to spend this N305 billion that will be given to the INEC and the about N200 billion to be given to the political parties is not fair to the remaining 160 million Nigerians who have no business about politics and political appointments. Their business is just a better life in Nigeria. This is the issue of cost implications,” Malami said.
