It's amazing how IPAD touts equate a battle between illiterate okada riders on both sides into Hausa/Yoruba disharmony.

These guys are still butthurt about the joint kick their ineffectual buffoon received from these two great political heavyweights, and will clearly do anything to amplify this conflict among touts in a bid to break our winning alliance.

Pele.

Tout governor. See 'toutery' depicted all over him.

No matter what their lies or the unkept promises are, we still can't start accusing a political party that has not even spend up to one year in power/office. We should condemn them or praise them when they finally exhaust their 4 mandated years in office. PDP promised Nigerians heaven and earth but after their many years in power, they couldn't fulfill their promises and Nigerians were left with no other option than to vote them out.
All elements of objectivities are lost in this thread. No matter how bias we want to be, there are some very positive gains that this baby administration has achieved like the victorious ongoing fight again terrorism, the commendable power supply. Mr op, hope you haven't forgotten that the budget is still been debated in the Senate and has not been passed?l.

Simple sir, in order to rebrand the word 'lala' which means excessive snoring in Yoruba he spiced it up with 'lastic' from elastic so summed up as elastically excessive snorer! I hope you've been enlightened

This government is "Super Clueless", they have no idea of governance in the 21st century, more so a multicultural and dynamic nation like Nigeria.


APC is better off in opposition with their usual lies and propaganda than being in government.


As many who bestowed this stupidity upon Nigeria, may your judgment come quickly.

tomakint:
Good observations you raised there on the stay of execution I don't see him enjoying that loophole in our judiciary again....you must agree with me the voices of great legal luminaries and elderstatesmen who adviced him to bow out long before now......what is about to happen to Saraki is this....after the conviction by CCT, incriminating documents concerning his shady deals will be circulated all around, the Marafa group in the Senate will heat up the Senate calling for his "stepping down" and followed by influential Nigerians.... I am sure you already know that Buhari is now at loggerheads with him concerning the "padded budget" as being revealed by Sen. Marafa that some fifth columnists acting on the tutelage of the Senate Leadership were responsible for the doctoring of the budget (which is the most embarrassing thing to have happened to this government). Bro, worry not, Saraki is toast already.

tomakint:
Worry not my bro, even though we do not share the same political line of thoughts, let me indulge you.....the moment Saraki is convicted by the CCT come March 10, he cannot preside over the Senate again, how? The pressure to resign his post so as to answer for his court case will be too much both from within (The Senate) and without (especially from his homefront, Kwara) will be too much to be resisted......trust me Saraki is a goner, as per the gap in dates of judgment that you quoted I don't see how that will play out as everything will be fast tracked so that this high profile case be dusted and cleared. I can assure you that if convicted on March 10, Saraki will cease to preside over the Senate. Watch out

tomakint:
Don't worry Mr Saraki your eyes go soon clear..... Just 11 days from now

midolian:
it will be easier for a donkey to pass through the eye of a needle than Saraki to pass through this CCT trial without getting nailed #QuoteMeAnywhere

anigbajumo:
people dnt get the tactics behind it,why??

Why is saraki held meeting with Tinubu and co in VP office last week??

A week after the meeting, saraki knws the situation of the country and yet he bought a ride worth of over 330 million, hw will a person facing corruption trial do this?? Coz he knows that his case has already been sealed and settled.....

If saraki found guilty after the judgement make I bend, even thou am not happy coz saraki is a face of corruption,but it has already been sealed last week...

doctokwus:
This is what I think is his gameplan:
He knows the CCT wud surely convict him. As soon as that happens,his lawyers file an appeal and stay of execution till the appeal is heard.
Appeal wud take at least 6-8 months to be disposed of,taking him to 2017.
CCT verdict likely upheld,he files another appeal at the SC,with further stay of execution.The SC may fix hearing for it for another 6mths,taking Saraki into 2018.After hearing lawyers to both sides, SC takes another 3 months to give judgement,late 2018,by then the 8th or whatever assembly would be winding down.
That's his calculated game plan and unless the FG is proactive and serious about this anti-corruption fight,I am so pained to admit that Saraki with all his garbage wud remain the no.3 man during this tenure.
It will then bring up a very salient question that will cast doubt on the political dexterity and avowed anti-corruption fight of PMB,that if former Senate Presidents like okadigbo and Wabara with far lesser crimes and in the same party as the then incumbent president cud be forced to vacate their seats,how cud a Saraki with crimes that smell from kwara-lagos-abuja,spanning banking,property,national assembly and goverment establishments still occupy the seat for as long as he wants?
PMB may not have the baggage of OBJ,but he seems to lack his decisiveness in dealing with issues like this.
I just hope and pray for PMB's sake, Saraki does not escape swift justice.

tomakint:
This is pure madness from a disgruntled element as Saraki.....its very strange and ludicrous for Saraki to lay claim to "buying cars for his convoy" when he is yet to carry out at least one of his oversight functions and besides, he is leaving that seat come March 10.

chubhiee:
Crazy country. to imagine this is happening under the watch of our saint and supreme leader BuharI is preposterous.

Progressive01:
Very daft people honestly. Daft people that adopt every criminal in the land as their illustrious son/daughter. Daft people that protest on the streets against a crook having his day in court. Daft people that celebrate every Boko Haram strike. Daft people that support the call by one randy mad albino to kill people different from their tribe.

Very daft people that think "commonsense" should apply only to ordinary nigerians and APC.

Very very daft people bro.

Progressive01:
You are shameless. Was Saraki the choice of APC for that position??

Who were the major backers of Saraki when that sham of an election was held in the Red Chamber that resulted in his ascension to that exalted office??

Who were the people that escorted him to the CCT in a bid to intimidate the tribunal chairman??

Who were the people that took to the street in protest against his trial, shouting from every rooftop that "Buhari should let Saraki be"??

Open this thread and see your brothers doing what they do best.

Shame on you and others like you.

Progressive01:
I'm so livid right now. This is wrong in a billion and one ways. These men get the courage to spit in our faces because some folks with orientation and opinions borne out of hate for a man who defeated their hero have pledged to support every misnomer that exists in our society today.

When Saraki was being dragged before a court for the unrepentant crook he is, they took to the streets in protest against the government bullying and persecuting their adopted son. Today, not only them, but those of us who stood on the other side of the aisle, bear the brunt of their stupidity.

I feel so unfortunate being a Nigerian sometimes and wish we could make Baba a maximum Ruler right now.

Progressive01:
Where is that albino clutterhead twitter blabbermouth to come preach about patronising local products and cutting costs?? Where is he to condemn this broad daylight robbery?? Or is the Senate exempt from his commonsense campaign??

The earlier we realise these guys are our common enemies, the better for us.

Nonsense.

lastpage:

Parallel market price is affecting illicit business men, criminals in short!
People whose business are criminal in nature hence they cannot go to a Bank and fill Form-M, to get Dollar at the official rate.

if your Business is GENUINE, you will be very happy now, cos you can fill your Form-M and then collect your Dollars from the CBN at #199.

Anyway, like the poster said, most of these #WAILERS have never even seen how a One Dollar bill looks like, talk of owning one!

siraj1402:
DOLLAR = N197
Please let us explain to those that don't
understand Economic terms. Dollar has not
increased since Buhari became president
1. Dollar is not our currency so dollar should not
be our business
2. Our problem is not d government but
our problem is our importers and consumers
3. Naira has remained at 197 naira to 1 dollar
since Buhari became president
4. Buhari has promised not to devalue the Naira
and he has maintained that promise
5. Both at CBN and at interbank rates,
dollar has remained 197
6. However because we are too lazy to produce
what we use in Nigeria we import even
toothpicks and matches
7. Buhari does not like d importation of luxury
goods because luxury goods is d reason for most
corruption, that is why he banned 41 products
from having access to forex
8. However when Nigerian importers insisted on
importing those 41
products, FG asked them to find their dollar at d
BDCs parallel market also known as black
market
9. And to discourage the pressure Nigerians are
mounting on the Naira just to get dollars for
importation, CBN banned DMBs from selling
dollars to BDCs
10. To survive the pressure of excess
dollar demands, BDCs resorted to sourcing for
dollars from neighbouring countries through illicit
money laundering routes
11. Because of the risks faced by BDCs to
source for dollars, and because of the increase
in demand for dollars by importers because China
just resumed from their business holidays, BDCs
keep increasing the price at which they
exchange dollars to naira and now it is 400 Naira
to 1 dollars
12. However that does not mean
that govt has changed the exchange rate
because if our genuine importers go to CBN and
fill Form M to import raw materials for local
production, they will get dollars at 197 naira
each
13. So the problem is that we love to consume
luxury foreign products yet we are too lazy to
manufacture them here.
14. For example u will see a dull girl using
iPhone 5 without even knowing simple physics
and computer engineering part of how that
phone was produced
15. I want Buhari to ban every foreign
product from Nigeria until Nigerians learn to
produce and use Made in Nigeria products
16. Let us stop complaining about dollar as if
dollar has become Nigeria's currency
17. It is even bad enough that most of those
complaining about the high exchange rate of
dollar do not have 1 single dollar in their purse.

EgusiSoup:
My brother don't mind these hypocrites on this forum that will not call a egusi a egusi

Egusi has climbed to #85 per cup from #50. Yet the dullard is looking for the next country to fly to.

Kriztovar13:
Did I see this on fp this morning or am I dreaming??

"Naira Gains 30%, Sells For N250/dollar"

vedaxcool:
Only a fool would have believe such lies. The same liars who destroyed this country with collateral stealing are now perpetuating the lies against a govt that says enough. They will fail because God is with us we are fighting a just cause.

LRNZH:
Long time guy... How wailing market?

LRNZH:
This is just the beginning.

Check back in 2018 and you will see how Nigeria would have CHANGED for much better.

God is on our side and CAN recognises that.
Lalasticlala tell these Wailers to get behind me.

seunmsg:
I want to believe this is just a routine meeting of the leaders of the ruling party. They can meet and settle their political differences but that must not affect Saraki's CCT trial. If however, the meeting is an attempt to offer Saraki a soft landing and subvert the course of justice, then Nigerians must resist the move.

Saraki must defend all the allegations levelled against him before the CCT and if found guilty, must be punished accordingly. The era of political arrangement to stop corruption trial is over. There must be no sacred cow in the fight against corruption.

Sibrah:
That's becos lazy Nigerians aren't producing enough export to keep them busy. What we like is that the FG subsidizes Dollar for us to go buy cheap Dubai and China made articles thereby help keeping their own economy afloat. Oil price has dwindled and it is time for those chest beating citizens to start exporting their products if any exist. We could av been exporting refine crude but PDP refused building refineries when there was money. They preferred to increase unproductive workers pay and steal us dry. Jonathan, the ineffe, finish the economy indeed.

EdCure:
You know next to nothing about strategy and power play.

Most of those heads of parastatals that prepared the budget were highly compromised moles from PDP. They can go at any length to do things that will create public disaffection and disrepute to this administration.
Saraki is safeguarding their interests, and vice-versa.

Buhari deserves what he gets, though, because so far he doesn't seem to be smart and proactive enough. He's being too complacent.
He may continue to be schooled by "small boys" all the time. But I doubt if he will ever learn - either due to his age, or because he listens to the wrong people when it matters most.

I won't be surprised if Saraki (and his reprobate backers) eventually comes out the winner at the end.
