Those are sock and the truth is one can pray with his shoes on, just go to mosque in Europe especially in winter and see how people pray with their shoes on.

Aeroplanes are normally bought on hire purchase so i don't know why they wouldn't start Nigeria airways afresh.

But largely all they are trying to do rush is for campaign and not for the benefits of the masses.

Buhari sought to be Nigeria President four times and succeeded the fourth time yet he is still trying to plan what to do in his third year, in fact it took him six months to set up his cabinet this tells you all this while he was contesting he was never ready, ordinarily all foundation would have been laid in 2015 after winning the election, and by now in 2018 they are commissioning project but no Buhari is still planning. This tell you hr was never serious.

I was a staunch buharist but I am very disappointed with his government and evident he has no clue about how to take Nigeria to promise land. Presently he is blinded by reelection at 77. Buhari is a mistake that need to be corrected 2019

She is on fast lane,I know some of her seniors that are still SPs

Any hope for Madrid-PSG match FTA tonight ?

Dino is right and saying the truth about not celebrating independence this days in Nigeria

In less than 9 years of joining the army he became lieutenant colonel. This days you have to stay at least 18 years to get there

Signal 6 boss has changed is there any new one, mind signal 6 is scrambled

States should restrict FRSC operations to be only on federal roads, like elrufai did in kaduna, after all even their names says federal roads.

But people should ensure they have all valid documents for driving, like I do because I cannot stoop low to be begging any officer

Why Northern establishment will root for Tambuwal
•Pressure on Saraki to help stop Buhari

By Emmanuel Aziken, Political Editor


President Muhammadu Buhari may have strengthened his hand in getting the presidential ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, with last Tuesday’s sweeping extension of the tenure of the National Working Committee, NWC.


Buhari & Saraki
Buhari & Saraki
However, more trouble lies for him in the general contest from a coalition of displeased party members and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, that could make last Tuesday’s endorsement of the NWC a pyrrhic victory. That is if the President resolves to seek a second term despite health and age concerns.


Buhari, who was inaugurated as President at the age of 72, making him the oldest person to have occupied the Nigerian presidency would extend that record if he goes on to win a second term at 76.

Health and age issues

His health and age issues nonetheless, critics within his party are not giving up on stopping him, if not on account of alleged underperformance, then to stave off what some party insiders claim as potential vengeance in a second term.


The opposition, Saturday Vanguard gathered is now centering around Senate President Bukola Saraki, who became an early target of the Buhari presidency upon claims of his alleged ‘unbridled presidential aspiration.’

Saraki, who was an influential factor in rallying the Middle Belt and the business community towards the Buhari candidacy ahead of the 2015 elections has twice been charged by officials of the Buhari administration on two alleged crimes; forgery of the 2015 Standing Rules of the Senate and wrongful declaration of assets.

The charge of forgery was withdrawn by administration officials upon lack of evidence while the government and Saraki have appealed and cross-appealed disfavourable judgments on the assets declaration charges.

Tambuwal, Markarfi , Lamido, Atiku

With Saraki apparently being pushed to his wits’ end, Saturday Vanguard learnt that he is being prevailed upon to forgo his reported presidential aspiration to help forge a strong alliance that could stop Buhari’s second term.

Those canvassing the idea expect Saraki to return to the PDP and help push the candidacy of any of the four major aspirants being canvassed to fly the ticket of the opposition party.

The four include Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, Alhaji Sule Lamido and Atiku Abubakar.

Saraki has become increasingly distant from the APC despite reconciliatory moves made by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu towards him and his allies. A source disclosed that immediately Tinubu was given the assignment to lead the reconciliation one of the first persons he met in Abuja was Senator Saraki.

“Asiwaju told him that he has been given the job and that he needed Saraki’s cooperation for the job,” a source privy to the encounter between the two men which occurred about two weeks ago said.

Absent at APC meetings

The encounter between Saraki and Tinubu was particularly sensitive given claims that the APC national leader was one of those who marshaled opposition to stop Saraki from occupying the office of Senate President.

That meeting between both men, Saturday Vanguard learnt, did not produce any breakthrough but that did not stop Tinubu in his task. Evidence of the lack of substance from the meeting was Saraki’s absence at two national meetings of the party earlier this week; the national caucus on Monday and the NEC meeting the following day despite being in Abuja.

Saraki remarkably was in court last Tuesday when the NEC of the party took place in Abuja.

One associate of Saraki ’s associates dismissed insinuations about his absence at the two meetings.

“How could they have expected him at the meeting of the national caucus when he would have been preparing himself for the court case that was to come up the following day, and that was the same day that the NEC was holding.”

Saraki’s Spokesman, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu was, however, quick to disabuse any claims of mischief in the absence of the Senate President at the two meetings.

In a statement issued late on Thursday, Mr. Olaniyonu said the Senate President returned from an official Senate engagement in Benin late on Monday and was unable to attend the caucus meeting. He also traced his absence at the NEC meeting to the CCT trial.

It is possible to defeat Buhari

“On Tuesday when the NEC meeting was holding at the APC secretariat, the Senate President was at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) where he was fighting to clear his name as the defendant in an ongoing case. Dr. Saraki did not fix the date of the adoption of briefs by prosecution and defence lawyers. The Tribunal did, and by law, Saraki must be physically present at the Tribunal as the defendant.

“It stands to reason that he cannot be in two places at once, and so he was unavoidably absent at the NEC meeting.

“Dr. Saraki is not one to sneak into a room via the window. He would rather enter through the front door so that his entry is well noted and acknowledged. Nigerians know that when he joined the APC, he did not sneak in. Therefore, no one should attach any mischievous or inaccurate interpretation to his absence at the two meetings held at times when his whereabouts were a matter of public record.”

Despite Buhari’s continued popularity in some portions of the North, his critics within the party believe that it is possible to defeat him and hence the shopping around for strong politicians to turn the tide against the President. Besides Saraki, others that are being courted include the influential senior senator from Zamfara, Senator Sani Yerima and the immediate past governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aliyu Wamakko.

Remarkably, the two senators like the overwhelming majority of APC senators are supportive of Saraki.

Those courting Wamakko are counting on him to back Tambuwal for the presidency, a decision they believe would help to stave a substantial proportion of the Northern votes away from Buhari.

One million votes from Sokoto

The argument in support of Tambuwal according to the projections is that it would deny Buhari the estimated one million votes from Sokoto. Even more, is the fact that a Tambuwal candidacy could rally the Northern feudal establishment which, in any case, had been largely circumspect about Buhari, around a more youthful person. Another projection by the North is that a Tambuwal candidacy defeating Buhari would project the presidency to be in Northern hands up to 2027, instead of 2023 which the second term for Buhari could offer.

However, the same projection of handing power to the South and particularly to the Southwest is at the centre of the troubleshooting efforts of a Southwest leader of the party. The Southwest leader who is himself interested in the presidency according to sources believes that the best route for him is for Buhari to do a second term and relinquish power to the south.

The permutations driving a Tambuwal presidential aspiration are, however, tempered by local domestic politics in the governor’s home state in which external forces have recently tried to break the cordiality between the governor and his political leader and predecessor, Senator Wamakko.

Tambuwal’s presidential aspiration

Though both men continue to display signs of cordiality, Saturday Vanguard learnt that there are apprehensions from those around Wamakko that Tambuwal could fall out of line. That fear is real given the claims that Governor Tambuwal has not been too mindful getting close to some of his predecessor’s estranged allies, including a former minister from the state and a former governor.

A source close to the two men told Saturday Vanguard that Tambuwal was not Wamakko’s original plan for a successor as the former commissioner for finance and later local governments, Alhaji Farouk Yabo was the preferred choice.

Sources in Sokoto revealed that Wamakko might not mind a Tambuwal presidential bid as conspiracy theorists say that it would, win or lose, help Wamakko plant Yabo as governor and thus ensure that his legacy in Sokoto State survives in the longer term.

timzyrhymes:
Good day sir, Well I totally disagree with your metamorphic ideology of indulging in the derailment of big brother naija ( bbnaija) it is somewhat quite alarming that I see matured folks instead of creating there own platform or thread to criticize or state there untold grievances against this show,rather they prefer coming up on a threads created by bbnaija fans writing rubbish and commenting things not inline with the topic. Well you quoted an adage "our mumu don do" if your mumu don do ehn,you suppose know say BBnaija na reality show wey no be only Nigeria dey do,so you suppose accept am as welcome development because he dey showcase lifestyle of different people coming together in one house with different cultural backgrounds,opinion, how they relate,there behavioral instincts and lots more, When you see just a show,We see Oneness!
Thank you. #peace

I really appreciate your response but all we do is show protest against the undue prominence given to bbn thread more than other meaning and educative threads, I have been on nairaland for about 11 years and if there is anyone anything like elder here I believe I should be one, no day of mine is gone without checking nairaland in fact I am an addict, bbn should have it's main thread where all things will be discssed but when every thing said by a house mate becomes a front page thread it can be annoying, I am sorry if my support for this protest is hurting some people

I call on all well meaning nairalanders to continue derailing all bbnaija threads,

Our mumu Don do

Where is higuain now playing

Arsenal want to buy athletico madric keeper Oblak

Surely arsenal go beat everton, hope Aubameyang starts

The mode that keep hiding people football commends will tire, we have rejected bbn

david102:
nasarawa is not a northern state, it fall under the middle belt

northern Nigeria means anywhere that was part of the colony called northern Nigeria before amalgamation in 1914, nasarawa, Benue. Plateau kwara are all northern states and by the way it is called north central not middle bet, middle belt is a term used by bitter people.

Kudos Abeg, lets keep distracting bbnaija thread until they stop disturbing us with that rubbish show, well done guys

Gunner for life

To those who don't know, before amalgamation there was country or protectorate called northern Nigeria, southern Nigeria and Lagos colony. After amalgamation there regions were created northern state, south west and south east.

In all the above Benue, kogi, plateau, kwara, nasarawa were part of northern Nigeria,

Nothing but your hatred and bitterness for north is causing those though of yours that you are not north central. Benue is northern Nigeria

Why are they putting all their eggs in one basket, yes medicine is good profession but I would love to see my various children as, doctors, engineer, bankers, lawyer etc not everyone doctor

Why is glo not having any plan that has validity of above 30 days

Imagine NTA with the chinchini salary they pay their staff

There should be using something like oyster card of london or nol card of dubai, as long as the ticket is bought by cash there must be corruption

Well i will take your words because you are on ground but i seriously doubt anyone will beat buhari in the NW

wallahi my sister people are angry, especially with high cost of living and to worsened matter this fuel scarcity is not doing any good to buhari popularity in the NW.

Another thing kano people are angry with is the fact that their beloved kwankwaso is being maltreated by his hitherto deputy the current governor most likely with buharis backing

Cheers

No 9ja match there yesterday

there was , I watch it there in fact

Carmal90:
Sir, I really want OBJ to be silenced now and forever, I prayed APC should give their ticket to PMB, pdp should give theirs to Atiku.. And the third imaginary force should give their ticket to sworn enemy of obasanjo.. By that time, he will know he is not relevant again.. I hate when people are hailing this man as a messiah. Someone that ruled this country for many years

don't worry if old age does not humble him death will, we should not be in a haste

kwankwaso can't defeat buhari in kano. Anyone that wants to defeat buhari should forget the core north

madam, I don't know where you are, as for me I am live in kano, and I am telling you without mincing any word that the popularity of Buhari has seriously dwindled in kanodue to poor performancr, and if elections are held for the two in kano, kwankwaso will not just beat buhari but will trump him in multiple times unless he rigs, you can come can conduct an unofficial poll by boarding like 10 keke Napep popularly called adaidaita sahu and get their response.

Madam I was a staunch buharist go and check my post in 2015, but we are really disappointed with Buhari
