Meanwhile that Acura has counted days and is a dent on the pic

snrman:
Look at this fools.
Illiteracy is when u blame buhari for inec postponement when u kw inec is an autonomous body instead of blaming any 1 we must come out to ensure inec chairman resigns.
Apc and pdp should clalm the tension by blaming incec only. My parents traveled all the way to adamawa to vote they are on their way back n i think they won't waste any money traveling next week that i kw
So expect a low turn out

I hope they had gone to vote for buhari. If they don't repeat this trip, then it's a win for the other fuuul by the next date, minus two votes already.

Tuesday will be 19th of the month of February, Month 02..

That is 2019, the year of the election.

02 + 19 = 21. The number of perfection got from 3 (Trinity) X 7 (Days He created the world).

Did you miss your drugs again?

yemiyemi:
Am not surprised....It is only in Nigeria that political and highly placed THIEVES are adored and shielded with legal jargons all in a bid to circumvent prosecution....As a matter of fact, It is expected of an highly placed individual...Head of a country's Judicial Institution for that matter to have honourably resigned his position immediately he admitted doing what had been alleged of..... Doing so, would publicly restore the confidence of judicial institution without hampering due process that would follow suit immediately....

Like your president resigned severally over school certificate failure. I recall he retained a battery of SANs. Like Buratai resigned over his houses at Dubai.

Due process is for all not for a chosen few

anjigirl:
He made history as the first Chief Justice to enter dock

Yeah, Buhari going down history as the only president without a school certificate who desecrated the judicial temple and Nigerians are dumb enough to not insist on constitutionalism.

Brainless population

NgeneUkwenu:
If you had relied on the number of Like and Shares On Nairaland and Tweets and Retweets on Twitter ipob pigs had for this man, you wouldn't believe that the so called Supper Ethnic Justice, would succumb to the rule of law.

Moral Lesson: Most keyboard warriors are cowards.

What do you understand by the term ' rule of law' and how has it applied in the extant matter under consideration? Is it due process to stand the law on its head by picking and choosing which of the court's ruling to obey, refusing to take up issues of jurisdiction which is fundamental? How has his arraignment today impacted the Nigerian judicial system?

Do not respond if you do not understand basic legal jurisprudence.

I am head and shoulders above your buhari and Atiku, so don't even associate my interest with your political mumbo jumbo. I am asking these questions based on my understanding of what I was taught as rule of law and how it affects separation of powers in a civil society governed by men who should not be guided by the whims and caprices of power which ordinarily belonged to the people but has been extricated from them by impoverishing them over many years of bad rulership.

This smally is giving me green light and wants to come over to say HI base on the Val. But her profile on WhatsApp only has one pic and she nor wan upload another pic and I don’t want to ask if her leg is straight or not. Don’t want to sound rude to her.


The leg is one kind. Looks suspicious and na today she be wan come greet me. Y’all should help me, is this a normal pose abi her legs get problem??

Your name answers your question. Anything else?

YorubaAssasin:
OK, I hear you.

But, how come Buhari and his family had to receive treatment in foreign hospitals with the money meant for you and I and, at our expense while we both can't afford to?

How come Atiku owns several homes abroad at our expense while you and I struggle to pay rents here in Nigeria?

Yet, you're here chanting for some rogue that doesn't understand your plights or struggles.

My exact views. Nigerians are their own enemies.

flyca:
Have you heard that if you don't have something nice to say SHUT UP?!


Who are you always comparing Nigerian women with? And why? Do Nigerian men look any better than their women? Do you think we don't see your pot-bellies, stinky breaths, sloppy dresses and worn-out shoes? But do you always see women constantly washing down men especially on this platform? For you guys, it's almost habitual to open any thread and look for a way to twist it towards degrading “Nigerian women” in every possible way just to garner cheap likes.


As I said, if you at every opportunity is looking for what to berate about others, you better keep your negetive comments in your head! It's not even about the other person but about who you are!


Wait! Do you mean that there are no average Nigerian women that train to look fit? You most likely live in a hole! Please step out to the nearest staduim in your state, esp Saturday mornings from 6! Lemme leave it here


Involuntary action? Do you know how many minutes it takes to comment on a thread? Obviously not involuntary.

And hey, many of you need to learn how to leave things unsaid! Stop creating unnecessary competition and tension here. This is a public forum!

I will patronise your pure honey, honestly. You are giving them boys back to back, and yes, you got strong points too

There is no wisdom is too many words.
This is where you message should have stopped.


What is with you internet riff-raffs using every slightest chance to degrade Nigerian women in order to appear intelligent?

Bro, Money is the key ingredient here!
Question is: Do you look good yourself? Do you have the money to support a woman to an enviable personality?

And how do you fuuuuls go about lusting after people's wives? Gold diggers looking for finished products
Some of you just log on without your senses.
Big shame!

Chai, see finishing......

Excaperx:
ABUJA—The Muhammadu Buhari Campaign, yesterday, strongly denounced what it claimed were explicit acts of interference by the United States and some other western powers in the country’s democratic process, saying their perspectives had become clouded with bias.

The United States envoy, Ambassador W. Stuart Symington, came in for special rebuke by the Buhari Campaign as he was accused of being ignorant of the Nigerian situation and wanting to foist a culture of fear on the country’s political actors.

The United States Mission was yet to respond to an email request for a response at press time last night.

These developments were trailed yesterday by news that former US President, Bill Clinton, originally scheduled to visit Nigeria ahead of next Saturday’s election, has cancelled his trip, fearing that it will “be politicised.”

However, Nigerian civil society groups and the leading opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, were quick to chide the Buhari Campaign over its assertion as they affirmed that the declarations of the United States Mission and other western powers on the Nigeria situation were within the ambit of the law and international relations.

Buhari Campaign chides US, others

The Buhari Campaign in a statement issued by Mr. Festus Keyamo, the campaign spokesman, had recalled recent declarations of some western diplomats and said the envoys had a mindset that victory by Buhari could only be achieved through rigging.

Asserting the claim as wrong and a distraction from the Nigerian situation, Keyamo said: “We are deeply concerned about many of the expressions of the United States’ Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador W. Stuart Symington and other Western Diplomats which have been directed towards Nigeria’s upcoming elections.

“Whilst we laud and whole-heartedly welcome their interests in the elections, many of these expressions have been notably off-key.

“The continued warnings about ‘flawed elections’ is capable of casting an unwarranted cloud over the process. Instead of encouraging our country toward credible elections, such statements undermine public confidence.

“It would appear that these envoys seem to have discredited the election before it has even taken place.

“We truly hope some of the statements attributed to these diplomats are inaccurate. For instance, the Premium News reported that Ambassador W. Stuart Symington threatened to “hold to account” anyone whose speech, no matter the motivation of that speech, engendered hatred.

“We all agree that any speech wilfully intended to trigger violence is condemnable. However, in condemning other forms of political speech, the American envoy overstepped his ambassadorial brief.

“For instance, the American Ambassador was reported to have condemned a situation where a candidate says that his opponent’s political and economic policies are abhorrent and dangerous to the greater welfare of the people and calls on the citizens to hate and reject such policies.

“In our view, this is a correct statement because it is the duty of the candidate to tell the people these truths to protect the nation from subsequent calamity.

“But Ambassador Symington says his country would punish such necessary political speeches. For us, it is significant to note that such strong political speeches are not unlawful in the United States, but Ambassador Symington is seeking to penalize such speeches by Nigerians.

“He seeks to shrink our ambit of free speech so that we may behave in accordance with their vision of well-behaved Africans, rather than in consonance with the vision of our own democracy, no matter how tumultuous and dramatic we may be.

“It would appear that his position seeks to prohibit forms of expression integral to our political discourse. These forms of expression have time and time again been adjudged to be constitutionally-protected speeches by the United States Supreme Court.

“However, Ambassador Symington intentionally issued his threats to place a chilling effect on speeches in Nigeria that, if uttered in America, would be constitutionally protected. Unfounded allegations and threats to penalize people for constitutionally-protected free speech is improper interference in our internal affairs. Sadly, what Ambassador Symington and some other western diplomats are doing border on the improper.

“We take the view that the constant statements by Ambassador Symington and the other diplomats are implicit attacks against the government of Nigeria. These statements imply the Nigerian government is inclined to rig the election in favour of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“This is unfair and unacceptable to us. President Muhammadu Buhari has never been accused of electoral malpractice all his life. However, in contrast, former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar publicly boasted a few months ago that he rigged the 2003 election in the South-west States. Here, we have an open confession of blatant electoral malfeasance by the PDP candidate.

“But in all of these, there seem to be no concern by Ambassador Symington and other diplomats about this well-acknowledged proclivity of the main opposition.

“We expected that such open confession to rigging in the past would have drawn condemnation from the United States. Rather, what we witnessed recently was the ignoble act of giving such a self-confessed rigger with a decade-old indictment in America for corruption hanging over his head a special status to enter the U.S for a few days. Such is the double standard that America now displays for the whole world to see.

“It is unfortunate that most of these countries that sermonize about free and fair elections have ugly histories of denial of voting rights to people because of their colour and are still facing many challenges with their electoral systems till date.

“The continued reference and praise of the 2015 election by Ambassador Symington clearly shows he needs further briefing about the Nigerian situation. For his information, the 2015 presidential election, at the end of the day, produced the correct outcome, but with flawed figures in many areas. Though they lost, the figures attributed to the PDP were inflated in many places, especially in the South-South, to save the face of the past President and to reduce the margin of his defeat. President Buhari is determined to improve on the 2015 elections and so it cannot even be our benchmark.

“An American ambassador has a great responsibility in representing the strongest economic and military power in the world. His comments carry weight because of the status of his nation. This means his comments should reflect a deep knowledge of the subject. Sadly, Ambassador Symington has not shown in-depth knowledge of the Nigerian situation. The impression he creates by constantly harping on suspected government interference with the electoral process is that President Buhari cannot win without tipping the results. He seems to be saying that only a PDP victory will be evidence of a fair election.

“Again, he is in great error. From all of the information at our disposal, President Buhari can and should win a free and fair election. However, it appears to us that Ambassador Symington is substituting his subjective conclusions for the sovereign will of the Nigerian people. In doing so, he has abandoned the impartiality of a true envoy and has trespassed into interfering in our electoral process.

“Instead of encouraging free and fair elections, these judgmental statements and threats only cast an unnecessary pall over the elections and the nation. This is an international disservice and not international diplomacy. The days of unquestioned condescension to Western powers are long gone, and we are not prepared at this time in Nigeria to recede to that era.

“Nigerians will define Nigeria’s democracy. We shall hold fair and just elections, not because of scolding by diplomats, but because we have sufficient intelligence and morality to do what is right for ourselves. If Ambassador Symington has familiarized himself with Nigeria’s history from 1999 till date, he would have realized that those in the main opposition are being haunted by their past. They think President Buhari would behave exactly like they did all these years when they consistently rigged elections and denied Nigerians the right to choose their leaders.

“If Ambassador Symington truly intends to be impartial, his statements should acknowledge that both Government and Opposition (particularly in States where the opposition have Governors in place) must respect the process and refrain from rigging. We expect him to counsel both governing party and the “Opposition from any form of electoral malpractice. After all, it is not only Governments at the centre that rig elections. Elections can also be rigged in opposition-controlled areas.

“It is not too late for Ambassador Symington to repair the damage of his uninformed statements. He needs to speak as an impartial envoy instead of a person who appears to have prejudged the quality of the process and the outcome. Until he attains that level of informed impartiality, whatever good he seeks is better achieved by his silence than by tendentious utterances.”

PDP kicks

The PDP was quick to denounce the Buhari Campaign on its assertion as it urged Mr. Keyamo to be guarded in assertions which he said could put the ordinary voter in trouble.

Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Prince Diran Odeyemi, said in reaction that Keyamo’s statement could not be unconnected with fears in the camp of the ruling party, “having realized that Nigerians, in their numbers have resolved to retire Buhari back to Daura.”

He said: “It is unfortunate, if not reckless that Keyamo would issue such a statement. In 2015, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and others monitored elections in this country, and Muhammadu Buhari was elected.

‘’The PDP candidate and the then President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan accepted the outcome and congratulated the winner. Having realized the fate that awaits their principal, they have become restless and jittery.

“Keyamo must be careful not to make further statement that can provoke voters into anger as Nigerians are tired of the APC-led government. In any case, the international community will not be bothered about the statement.”

CSOs react

Reacting to the Buhari Campaign statement yesterday, the executive director of the Civil Society and Legislative Advocacy Centre, Mr. Awwal Ibrahim said: “I believe something is wrong with some people who are supposed to be promoting Mr. President’s image and his political campaigns in Nigeria, their action is very hostile and lack democratic values.

“They are undermining his political support base otherwise one wonders how such careless and unguided utterances can be coming from them against Civil Society groups and the international community who President Buhari need to move Nigeria forward.

“This is because Nigeria needs the international community’s support to deal with our insecurity, assets recovery, illicit financial flow and consolidate our democracy and broaden the economy.

“Therefore it’s wrong for anyone to be attacking election observers unless there is an agenda being planned to rig the election in favour of their political party and their candidates.

He further observed that the foreign observers were invited by the government to observe the election.

Mr. Samson Itodo, executive director, Youths Initiative for Advocacy, Growth, and Advancement, YIAGA, on his part said: “It is unfortunate that the Buhari campaign is alleging interference with Nigeria’s political process. Nigeria is a sovereign nation governed by laws.

‘’The US recognises and respects that. If reminding Nigeria of her commitments to international norms and standards is interference then the Buhari govt must be a beneficiary of political interference.

“The US and other missions are partners of Nigeria and have been supportive of Nigeria development process. Therefore, it is out of place to claim they are meddling with our internal affairs. Having said, the international community must in their engagement recognise Nigeria is a sovereign nation with capacity to manage its domestic affairs.”

Meanwhile, leader of the Commonwealth Observer Mission for the election, Dr Jakaya Kikwete, a former president of Tanzania yesterday said they were in the country to observe the polls and not to monitor them.

Speaking during an interactive session with the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu he said: “We came here to observe not to monitor. Sometimes people call us monitors, but we just came here to observe the elections. We are at the commission today to listen to you the commissioners, whatever you have to tell us in preparedness of the commission to conduct these elections.

“Then after that, we disperse, we deploy the commissioners to almost many places in the country. We cannot cover every place in the country. It’s a huge country.”

Clinton cancels trip to Nigeria, says visit’ll be politicised

Former US President Bill Clinton has canceled his trip to Nigeria ahead of Saturday’s general elections, saying the visit could be “politicized.”

Clinton was scheduled to visit the capital, Abuja, this week alongside Baroness Patricia Scotland, the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth.

The planned trip was facilitated by the Kofi Annan Foundation and the National Peace Committee (NPC).

“Over the course of the last several days, and after various conversations with the different stakeholders, it’s become apparent that President Clinton’s visit to Nigeria has the potential to be politicized in a way that is not in line with the goals of the Committee. Therefore, he will not be traveling to Abuja,” Clinton’s spokesman Angel Ureña said in a statement.

Clinton, according to the statement, would continue to support the NPC ‘s work toward peaceful and fair elections in Nigeria.

He had been set to deliver a keynote speech at a ceremony for the signing of a peace accord by presidential candidates.

Clinton will speak later this week with President Muhammadu Buhari, who is standing for re-election, and his main challenger, Atiku Abubakar, his spokesman said.

It is expected to be a keenly contested election.

Two electoral commission offices housing voting materials were burned down within a week, the country’s electoral body said Sunday

“This is a crucial time in Nigeria, and President Clinton is hopeful that the election’s outcome reflects the will of the Nigerian people,” his spokesman said.

13. They are home reading and typing on NL, watching developments on telly and sipping cold beer or kunu, knowing that the election will be won by the best rigger and in any case, the contestants are not deserving to even lead or manage a professional football team. So why waste time, energy or even resources

iamleumas:
Tomorrow is the D-day, we all have been waiting for.

Between the two most popular candidates, Buhari and Atiku, who do you think would be the likely winner?



I wish both contestants goodluck and success at the polls....

Long Live Nigeria!!!

Long Live Nigerians!!

Mature comments please.. No abusive words or distracting pics... no derailing, no spamming

Are they the only two candidates? Nigerians are not even ready to help themselves come out of the wood. Money politics still the in-thing.

None of the two corrupt and recycled old men cut it for me. So i don't give a flying eff or even a rats ass.

yemiyemi:
I wonder why some people are being partisan about this issue despite more than enough evidence against Onnoughen. Well... Who else would be defending corruption other than ....them..them..

You have a porous understanding of due legal process, if at all.

Steps are required to be taken to even convict an accused murderer caught in the act. Even an admission of guilt does not preclude the process of trial. Nigerian, or rather majority of them are so dumb. There are steps to be taken where a public officer admits an errant publication of his assets. Were these taken? The law recognizes motive. What's the motive of bringing this issue up, fast tracking it days before election tribunal judges are appointed?

I am only interested in due process and equity. Did the president declare his assets? Are all other Nigerians accused of corruption already purged? What is fair is fair. I am neither interested in Buhari or Atiku. They are both incompetent to lead a man with my brain power.

nairavsdollars:
The man is a corrupt judge and thief. Let him resign

Maybe he is, but the manner in which he has been harangued leaves a sour taste in the mouth. The only man I pity is the CCT judge, when you allow yourself to be used, there is always a biatch called nemesis. She neither forgets nor forgives.

ttmax09:
Can 100m rili give 1.5 monthly if invested in money market.

Yes it will. I have a mini side investment of about N20m that returns about 0.7m per quarter of 3 months. Ramp the investment up to 100m and the returns comes back in 5 folds. Spread it across 3 months per month, your figure is the minimum of what you can get.

Olalekank:
So this is what makes it overrated?

A lot of these things are intertwined. How many of the tax payers are complaining?

If you receive an income that's sufficient for you and you still get to save something from it, it's fine.
Not be in a country where you're just scared of even falling sick

Money answereth all things. With the right amount, you can get treated at a hospital of your choice the world over, with air ambulance at your beck and call on short notice.

But the choice of what you said up there is open to each individual.

so if God has destined you to be great outside nigeria you will burn it because of 2m, ur not different from isaac who sold his birth right for a pot of porriage.

You don't even know basic CRK. Esau sold to Isaac.

While your question is hypothetical, please note that N100 m that is invested in money market will feed you well till the day you pass on, assume you don't wanna work again.

That amount will give you a minimum of N1.5m every month. You will struggle abroad to earn that figure and about half will go into tax. Foreign countries are overrated, the difference is mostly in infrastructural development and organised systems.

Apart from wasting one's time if it falls apart, the unsatisfied tensions and all, not to talk of the risk of traveling to visit the person. God forbid one dies via accident on their way to visit what will you tell your maker?

P.S, If you've known your partner before distance came in between fine and Good. That works atleast you know him or her.

But social media distance relationships are Scams(might work 4 few). Not to talk of so many psychos on the lose waiting for an unsuspecting victim.
So reason it well before you enter a time wasting venture in d guise of a distance relationship.
