What the hell !!!! Haba we are better than this people.Why now?

for wetin now!!!!!
Unless they wanted to keep him forever.If today you kidnap Nigerian Presido sef nobody go pay that kind money.

hilarious 
Can't get enough of this stuff guyz, !
Well the right kinda Nigerian hit em hard.You don't expect the likes of D'banj to waste time on a reply of little significances .
Right lyrics and right caliber of artist for the Ghanians 

For the EEdiotas condemning the reply,are you a traitor or a Ghanian infiltrator sent to sabotage Nigeria our motherland ?

This is a welcome development.I had being to there online site a couple of times to see there vehicles.Its impressive and i here some commuter companies and churches are already patronizing them.
That aside i think there should be more room for them to evolve to a reputable automobile company.The same way TATA started from a humble beginning.Atleast TATA got the Indian government to be a major client until they got off fully.Now they compete with the rest globally.
I remember some guys from Ekiti developing an APC(Amoured personal carrier) during the Yar'adua Government.They were asked to work in conjunction with the military.Innoson can cash in on this guys especially since security concerns got a boast and the government and banks wouldn't mind such.If Nigeria was a serious country they could help the companies evolve faster.Simply by specifying to them what they need as official government cars,patrol cars and other security vehicles.
That way the billions spent on foreign countries bringing such could be minimize and our local products boasted.Even if they don't meet foreign standard,challenge them with a specification that meets your desired targets.After all you are a client.Your experts help them reach such goals.
Government should have long made it policy to patronize only cars built partially or wholly in Nigeria.So that we could keep them afloat.I don't see why we buy Honda and Toyota.Since they have refused to be Nigerian.Atleast close the doors on car import by government and give a duration of say 10Years.after which you open them again.

Ddaji:
NOBEL Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has condemned the apprehension that greeted the proposed Islamic banking by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Mallam Lamido Sanusi.

Delivering the keynote address at the ongoing Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Monday, Soyinka said the structural woes facing the country did not generate from any mode of banking, suggesting rather that the nation needed to unite to move forward.

This was preceded by the upbraiding of the NBA by the Rivers State governor, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, who delivered the opening address.

In his address, Soyinka said it was not the Islamic banking system that was responsible for the breakdown of social infrastructure such as education, health, power supply, among others, in the country.

He said any Nigerian had the right to apply for any system of banking, as much as such process conformed with the laid down laws of the nation, expressing surprise as to how the non-interest Islamic banking had contravened the law of the land.

He said non-interest banking, which exists in other countries like the United Kingdom and the United States of America, did not, in anyway, lay the foundation for the global financial meltdown, the militancy crisis in the Niger Delta and the Boko Haram in some states of northern Nigeria.

He, however, said “we need to come together and engage the protocol of national conference and dialogue,” which, he said, was the surest way of moving the country forward.

In his address, Governor Amaechi advised the NBA to stand as the beacon of hope to the common man, noting that the rule of law would not be achieved if corruption subsisted.

I wonder for them pa Soyinka!!!!
where are those anti Islamic-bank crusaders?
ZnO and CAN president.I know they will miss this one and later claim ignorance.

shall we move along !!!!

Well eat the beans after you spot the lorry to confirm if it is true
Better still avoid any beans coming from the north in a lorry unless the ones coming from the south in wheel barrows.
When you think of the farm commodities,you have to look at source and transport routes.
Do you know that you can not just buy a truck load with out buying from multiple collection points.Secondly do you know the SE/SS traders have long time customers and are more or less conversant with the markets where they acquire the commodity.So are we saying we have SE & SS accomplice?Why is NAFDAC quiet?Are they in on it too?
How do you ensure the commodity is aimed for a particular market or consumer?Lets help ourselves by reporting to the appropriate quarters. if you suspect such and not just cause unnecessary panic and apprehension in the nation.

jmaine:
Rubbish . . .so Boko haram will choose to poison only  beans when they have a whole lotta of food source to poison . . .simple advice to the rumour peddlers . . .stay away from all food such as meat and spices emanating from the North . . .they have all being poisoned by Boko Haram . . . . smh . . .

I wonder  All this jobless rumor mongering goons.

JAkpayen:
aaaaaaaahhh! But I've ate beans today, will I die. lol

[quote author=sweet_gala link=topic=742098.msg8986298#msg8986298 date=1314088995]While this sounds like a hoax, I can be confirmed that if any food crop was to be used as an instrument of murder , it would be beans, the nature of its production makes it easily contaminated. Where as rice is imported and examined. How many times have we heard of killer beans !![/quote]You and i know.yet what is NAFDAC doing Unless it is senseless and a baseless lie. which makes more sense.

Pukkah:
This message sounds like a hoax and it is not the first time that such a message would be circulated.

If it all this is true, how will the Boko Haramites protect their own members from eating from the poisoned beans now or in the future?

Beats me ! Maybe they would say eat white beans with no. A315T !!
Since this news have being going round and causing panic,how many cases has NAFDAC attended eg indomie. This are just craze people scared as poo of there shadows.peddling fiction from there demented minds.
About other food poisoning incidence which NAFDAC has identified,most are not deliberate but rather not using storage chemicals for pest control properly by farmers or eating contaminated foods.Things as such happen everywhere even recently with the vegetable saga in Europe and others!!!

shocking!!! why should he be kidnapped by his kins men in Jos and then taken to a state, the kinsmen despise for use as hide out? I don't know why this is happening in Nigeria.The way he was also handled showed hate apart from the possible ransom.Government need to really investigate this through to ensure its real motive!!!!!

proffmanue:
His Naija Northern brothers may offer him a save heaven in Kano, Boko Haram , or sokoto state.

Nah we won't, Like your southern brothers offered Charles Tailor the west African war crime champion !!!!

Abeg lets not even think it!!!!
Why?he should sort his problems out with his people we have ours

^^^^^ seconded except for the bad comments against Nigerians.Anyway a skilled population is even sale-able in excess, as expatriate. so education is definitely good and if it means wipe people to school than hawk so be it o!!!!! education should be forceful until after a child is above 2oyrs.Atleast you have baggage a diploma.Some parents encourage illiteracy.It should be a firm regulation with instant punishment if a child of school fails to go to school.Welfare officers should go round asking about wards and there education.So that parents found wanting are dealt with.
Any child caught hawking his or her parents should be detained and given some flogging while the kids lick ice cream and are told what is good for them.

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=741330.msg8975773#msg8975773 date=1313960955]if they know this then what are they waiting for ?

I pray God gives Jonathan the wisdom and strength to turn this country around towards the right path.[/quote]Insha Allah,Amin!! The country has suffered enough.We don't care who or what just make it happen.

^^^^^ Keep dreaming is he God!!!! They all float same ship and dine on the same table.Obasanjo is nothing without them and they are nothing without the likes of Obasanjo.Do you know that during the 2011 elections primaries if the Northern elite really wanted to stop the emergence of GEJ they could have.But no simply because they have reason to support him.The reason is best known to them.You and i hardly no crap about what they trade.Forget the dollars and money shared to push votes.You have the main players who select the likes of those people who they can willingly compromise.
The whole twist and magu magu is a PDP thing and that is even bigger than Obj.It includes the North,south elites and power players.religious and financial warriors.Party and business clique.Obj can be brought down same way he brought Anenih and Atiku down.I tell you he even can't force his candidate into the house of representatives.Could impose a candidate on his PDP fold to ensure a SW speaker.Don't forget that the NE was angry same way SW was.Again you ask yourself how stronge is he?
PDP is a fraternity and it has rules and no single person controls all.You have to please as much interest groups within to make head way.Please includes money,position and contract bids/ownership of public property.Then policy to support a cliques and its stooge.Obj is part of it and that is a bonafide fact.Atiku can't pull a string cos his mistake was dumping PDP and later coming back.I think Obj is battling to keep his seat as chairman BOT.Why abi he failed to play it well!!!

;d ;d ;d ;d ;d

^^^^^Then how come foreign observers miss this one? The more i look the more i see wuru-wuru.Shocking sha!!!! We are told it was all fine and now stories like this emerge here and there of cheating (rigging,inflating,stuffing and all that).

truly bad eggs giving us bad names!!!

Truly free and fair !!!! No wonder they can't provide the ballot papers for forensic analysis.

PDP Gave me N5,000 to Inflate Accredited Voters’ During Last Elections – INEC Polling Assistant
Published August 17, 2011 | By Independent Kwaran

An Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) polling assistant yesterday told the Kwara State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal that a former Secretary to the State Government (SSG) gave him N5,000 to inflate the number of accredited voters.

Adeniyi Razaq told the tribunal that he was a poll assistant at Unit 007 in Kuntu, Adewole Ward, Ilorin West, and an ad-hoc staff of INEC in the April 26 governorship poll.

He said different amounts of money were offered other INEC workers, according to their ranks, to favour the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the election.

The witness said the PDP requested for the booklets of ballot papers to be made available to it.

Razak, who said he was working for an Osogbo-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) added: “A few days before the presidential elections on April 15, the presiding officer for my polling unit, one Kola, a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, asked me to go to Agbo Oba, where the NYSC lodge is located, for a meeting. When we got there, we saw a lot of PDP-branded vehicles inside and outside the lodge. When we got into the lodge, the party’s agent, a light skinned lady whose name we were not told but was widely called Alhaja Iya Alate, informed us as follows:

•‘That the PDP required all of us (electoral officers) to inflate the number of accredited voters in our respective polling units;

•‘That we should make ballot papers available to them;

•‘That we should not be concerned about how they would thumb-print the ballot papers and get them into the ballot boxes;

•‘That they would take care of that; and

•‘That for the services they were prepared to pay us handsomely.’

“At the meeting, the former Ilorin West Local Government chairman and one other person I don’t know gave N20,000 to each INEC Presiding Officer with an instruction that it be shared as follows:

•N10,000.00 each to presiding officers; and

•N5,000 each to polling clerks (every unit has two polling clerks).

“There was no provision for polling assistants.

“The poll assistants present were not happy that there was no provision for them and they began to protest. I led the poll assistants’ protest. Thereupon, the lady called me and explained that the payment was for work done for the PDP during the National Assembly elections a week earlier. She told me that they would invite me later for further discussion.

“I was invited by the same Alhaja Iya Alate on April 25, a day before the governorship election, to Gaa Aremu in Adewole Ward area of Ilorin West Local Government. The place turned out to be the family home of the ex-SSG as I saw a big photograph of the man dressed in his Senior Advocate’s ceremonial robes and his name was written boldly under the picture. The Alhaji was at this place with Alhaja Iya Alate. I was given N5,000 by Alhaji and I was told that further directives would be given to me later for the next day’s election by Alhaja.

“Thereafter, I was escorted out of the house by Alhaja. As we were walking away from the house, she told me that she would call me later that evening. And she did. When she called, she said we, INEC officials, at our polling units needed to inflate the number of accredited voters and if we did this, we would be paid N11,000.00.

“Also, she said we would receive N100,000 for providing the PDP with a booklet of ballot papers. She informed me that if we agreed to this, the money would be paid that night.

“On election day, on April 26, Alhaja came to meet me at my polling unit and asked if I had agreed to what she said. When I told her that I would not do it, she kept persuading me. But when she realised that I would not change my mind, she left…”

“I am aware that my own experience is not an isolated case as a lot of my colleagues agreed to the scheme, collected the money and did the PDP’s bidding, as I have said. I know for a fact that the polling officers for the following units collected N100,000 each and gave ballot paper booklets to the PDP. They are: Sakele Open Space Poll Unit 005 of Adewole Ward; Oke Agodi Open Space Unit 006 Adewole Ward; and Ojude Olode Kuta Kunte Unit 017 Adewole Ward; Gaa Aremu Open Space Unit 016 Adewole Ward; and Adeta LGEA School Unit 013.

“Subsequently, I discovered that through some of my colleagues and other people, that the Alhaji came from Adewole Ward and, being a senior person in the Kwara State Government, he wanted desperately to record a win in his ward and in my polling unit.

“I believe that what I have described above was very rampant in Ilorin West, judging by the discussions with my co-ad hoc INEC colleagues. In all likelihood, it took place in other places in Kwara State. It has also been reported in the Tuesday, April 26 -May 2 edition of the Premier newspaper on pages 1, 26 and 27.”

Abeg you guys, just cut him some slack. He just put up his economic team.could you just give him the benefit of doubt.Remember he remains our president.Take it or leave it. !!!!

Well Anguwan Rukuba like i know is mainly xtian.How did that then happen?Mistaken identity,they took him for Muslim/Hausa or what?Definitely this is a xtian friendly fire!!!!Because once the alarm rings all will never step within 3 Km of a rivals territory except you have a death wish.Xtians largely avoid transit through main town and prefer the Bauchi ring road and bye pass.Maybe he took the route to avoid the violence and got hit by his own.Considering he wasn't shot.It means some came up close.That leaves doubt if a Muslim could go into a strong xtian area to stab someone and retreat like that especially where both sides have mask men.
Anyway RIP and may God give his family the fortitude to bare the lost.Really sad.

The National and State Elections Petition Tribunal sitting in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State Tuesday, nullified the election of the Senator representing Kebbi Central senatorial district, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, and declared former governor of the state, Senator Adamu Aliero, as the winner of the election.


The tribunal also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the Certificate of Return from Bagudu and issue it to Aliero as the lawful winner of the election.
Aliero was former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).


Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Alero Edodo Eruaga, along with Justice Muhammad Inuwa Ali, and Justice Adedotun Grace Onibokun, in their 19-page ruling, said the application brought by Bagudu, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and INEC for the tribunal to set aside the July 30 invocation of paragraph 18(11) lacked merit.


Before Tuesday’s ruling, the tribunal had on July 30, this year, invoked paragraph 18(11) of the Electoral Act on Bagudu, PDP and INEC for their failure to produce the report of their inspection of polling materials before the tribunal whereas Aliero and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) complied.According to him, the argument of the respondents as regards the issue on report of inspection material had been contradicted, thereby compelling the tribunal to dismiss it.


“Election petitions are distinct from the ordinary civil proceedings. It is such that in certain circumstances that slightest default in complying with a procedural step which otherwise could either be cured or waived in ordinary civil proceedings could result in fatal consequences to the parties, these averment were neither contradicted and/or controverted nor was there an opposition to the written addresses.


“It is trite that were depositions in a counter affidavit are not specifically denied by way of a further affidavit in support of an application such evidence or deposition in the counter affidavit will be deemed as the truth of the matter and the court can act on it,” he said.


“That a lack of reaction contrarily to the submission of counsel is deemed to be a concession to the point of being made. Based on the above principles of law we hereby affirmed our judgment of July 30, this year, and order the 3rd respondent to withdraw the certificate of return issued to the 1st respondent, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and issue a Certificate of Return to the 1st petitioner, Senator Muhammad Adamu Aliero of the congress for progressive change as the lawful person to represent Kebbi Central Senatorial District of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Eruaga averred.


The judge reminded the parties that the jurisdiction of an Election Tribunal to deal with election petition was a very special nature different from that of an ordinary civil case, adding that: “It is plain that the proceedings are special for which special provisions are made under the constitution.”

Adamu Aliero

The Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Birnin-Kebbi, Kebbi State, has nullified the election of Senator Atiku Bagudu of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) and declared former Federal Capital Territory (FCT ) Minister, Sen. Mohammed Adamu Aliero as the lawful person to represent Kebbi Senatorial District at the National Assembly.

Delivering its ruling on the motions on notice praying the tribunal to issue an order that would set aside its earlier judgement, the chairman of the tribunal, Justice Alero Edodo-Eruaga, declared that the tribunal had no reason to depart from the earlier position and dismissed it outright.

She explained that on July 30, the tribunal had entered a judgement against Sen. Bagudu, PDP and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for disobeying the a pre-hearing order for failing to participate in good faith pursuant to paragraph 18 (11) of the Electoral Act.

Justice Edod-Eruaga noted that Sen. Bagudu, was the principal party in the defence who stood to lose if the earlier judgement remained, yet he and his legal team did not see the need to put facts forward.

Not to think of Nigeria!!!

Rochas you are impressive!!!!!
With your kind of ideas and willingness to pilot affairs of your state,one can say you truly are a rare breed in Nigeria.
Wish Ndi Igbo know how to market a person cos i see good product i can vote for, if they drop that there extreme hating of other people.

Beaf:
Yes, of course. GEJ is human and he does get a couple of things wrong like each and every one of us.

The reason a few folk hate GEJ so desperately, has nothing to do with the odd mistake, though. Anyone can see through that.
Unfortunately, for a lot of people GEJ is not of the same religion as them, neither is he from their section of the country, so they wake up everyday in blind, raging hatred, cursing GEJ for stealing their birthright (God alone knows what that is). LOLZZ!

I have asked al ot of you to make cogent arguments about what you hate so much that in observer would think some are crazy, but nobody has come up with anything. Not even something that is semi-literate. Why?
There is a primitive instinct in many Nigerians to shout, throw stones and fight; they think its makes them stand out. It sure does, but for all the wrong reasons; the same reasons an alpha male goat or pig would stand out in the zoo. Educated people who would be our leaders tomorrow have no business carrying on like agbero's and sundry base creatures.

Now, can we lay the rubbish to rest? I'm out of this thread.

So with all the people hitting him now,we could conclude they are all not Christians and not from Bayelsa/ND!!!!! I see , 
Na wa for you Mr Man e be like say you still get that propaganda nonsense littering your reasoning again. Your post speaks nothing but make an imaginary enemy for him as a bail out.
mean while guys stop hitting at GEJ like that.He is the president and deserve respect regardless

crap at its peak!!!Who the hell cooked this bullshit!!!!
Moreover same Zaria accommodate alot of Yorubas who over years are fully Hausa for all i care.They are even more Hausa than others.My take is it doesn't matter even if such tales are true.
He claims Zaria,worked for Zaria/Kaduna and North.I support him to represent the north in the government and is a bona-fide Northerner period.Anyone with problems about that should come if you are from the Northern part you claim,Nonsense.
Cheap propaganda!!!
