Tolexander:
Why was Reuben Abati not posting news like this when he was a spokesperson to the past administration of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan?

How does the news relate with time?

The plan is simple, Arewa ask Igbo to vacate north and later retrieve. But since they can't be predicted, they might still attack Igbo. In other to avoid reprasal in the east to avoid escalation, the military presence is arranged via this operation. It's might be right tactics for national security but if not well managed could also lead to bigger problems. Pray for peace

Around one million Catalans rallied in Barcelona on Monday, waving red and yellow striped flags and banging drums, in a show of support for independence after Madrid moved to block a referendum on the region's split from Spain.

Sept. 11 marks the 'Diada', Catalonia's national day, which commemorates the fall of Barcelona to Spain in 1714 and is traditionally used by pro-independence activists to call for secession for the northeastern region with a distinct language.

However, this year's event had particular significance as a show of strength for the independence movement just three weeks ahead of a referendum on the issue which Madrid has declared illegal and taken steps to obstruct in the courts.

Demonstrators climbed on each others' shoulders to form human towers, a Catalan tradition, while others carried banners reading 'We're going to be a free country!' and 'Full of hope' while wearing fluorescent yellow t-shirts with the word 'yes'.

City police said on Twitter that around one million people took part, one of the highest turn-outs in recent years. Protesters said they hoped the vote would go ahead as planned on Oct. 1.

"We hope that we will be able to hold the referendum with total normality, because in a democracy it is normal to be able to vote," said German Freixas, a 42-year-old engineer accompanying his family to the rally.

"If the people want it to happen, it will go ahead."

The Constitutional Court last Thursday suspended the referendum after a legal challenge by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. Police have since searched newspaper offices and printers for signs of any preparation for the referendum.

The head of Catalonia's regional government, Carles Puigdemont, told journalists on Monday: "It's not an option that the referendum won't go ahead. It's 20 days away and we've already overcome many hurdles."

Puigdemont is facing criminal charges of misuse of public money, disobedience and abuse of office for organising the referendum. He is prepared to go to prison, he has said.

A majority of Catalonia's mayors have so far said they will allow the use of municipal facilities for the vote. The mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, said on Monday she would do everything possible to allow people to vote but would not put civil servants' jobs at risk.

Polls have shown support for independence waning in recent years with those wanting a separate state in a minority. However, a majority of Catalans want to vote on the issue.

At a peaceful march in August, convened as a show of unity in the wake of Islamist attacks that killed 16, mostly in Barcelona, the king and Rajoy were booed and jeered by the crowds in a show of resentment towards Madrid.

Protesters on Monday held a minute of silence for the victims of the attacks.

My view on the rats that infested and prevented our president from resuming in Aso Rock could be an indication of the poor sanitary and environmental condition of the place. Rats stays in dirty environment. I am wondering what the million budgeted for Aso Rock is use for and if the government can not improve the environmental condition of Aso Rock how can they make Nigeria better?

Meeting with members of his region. Military men meeting each other.

MTN are scam men. That their awufu plan of 300% for the card you load is worse than you loading your normal airtime.

seegi:
FTC..... Bt plz who is dis Sahara Reporter working for.... b4 he do criticize Saraki, bt now Apc and Buhari

You see yourself. Must you work for somebody to say the truth? Nigeria is not well govern at the moment and l don't need to be paid to say it. You these APC/ PDP goons feel there are no neutral, free minded Nigerians.

Ojiofor:
Private discussion of two private citizens in their private home is not binding on millions of Nigerians.
Whatever Ojukwu and Buhari discussed in 2003 is their business and should remain so.

You are right.

I will start with Mr Femi Fani-Kayode and Gov Ayo Fayose, although I am not used to commenting about them.

“I remembered on July 13, Fani-Kayode said that Mr President will not come back as President because his situation was pathetic and critical.

When we are told by your government that the president recovery is a miracle. It's gives some flesh to FFK and Fayose submission

Dead man agreement for the living?

This is an address by Buhari. Can it be taken as a president address in the view that he has not transmitted letter to National Assembly notifying them of his resumption as president

The answer is simple, IPOB is causing sleepless night to this government.
I feel we should let the go and have their country.
Ojukwu is dead and can't speak for the living.

seunmsg:
Dear ipobs, arewa youths and Niger delta avengers, there you have it. Baba is back and he will no longer tolerate your nonsense. The unity of Nigeria is not negotiable, period!

He won't do Arewa youths anything. They have done nothing wrong.

Short, precise speech.
Social media dividing Nigeria he said.

From PMB 6 minutes speech, one of the highlight is social media role in national unity.
He said social media is causing disunity.
I see clampdown and ban loading soon.
nairalanders watch out.

What a world

Is this not hate speech?

Okorocha own my political prayers.

This could be hate speech ooo

The handshake looks good but the eyes contact looks more of examination. The man in far right is observing suspiciously.
