Mylove55:Your nightmare didn't put the ports in the FG exclusive list in fact if they have their way they'll remove it and build ports to their taste. |
Ahhhhh... You mean a State loyal to Buhari is also against donating land... Issoraite |
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi next to be given the Hausa-Fulani treatment. Used and dumped will be his nomenclature soon |

Inukwa! Osi mere statement of desire? |
Interesting |
The FG already has too much on their table, including these won't make it any better for the FG and the nation. At a time when the entire nation is calling for devolution of power from the center, FG shouldn't be bringing up these. Whatever the FG plans to do with the waters, the States can also do it and even better if the nation can be restructured. |
For those asking why and screaming Igbos didn't vote for Abiola, here is the reason. The man is too dirty, they turned their back on him just like they did to Buhari in 2015. Mko Abiola, with what this Sam Owie said, would have been a far more disaster to the nation than Buhari. |
Former member of the House of Representatives, former Senate Chief Whip and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Rowland Stephen Owie says the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election was a divine recompense for Abiola’s alleged past political misdeeds. What is your perspective on the June 12, 1993 election? When people talk about June 12, June 12; June 12 has no meaning. June 12 is the repayment of evil for MKO Abiola. Whatever you sow, you reap. I said about four years ago that if Abiola had been president he would have been dead. You think so? Yes, let me tell you. Before anyone can say that the annulment was evil they should answer four questions. Number one, who was that politician that brought what was called the Maroko land deal to limelight? Who was that politician who used the Maroko land deal as an albatross on the neck of Chief Obafemi Awolowo? Who is that Nigerian or group of Nigerians who went to Obasanjo and connived with him and removed the Electoral College act from the decree of 1978? Who is that politician or group of politicians that aided the military to take over the government of President Shehu Shagari in 1983 after the NPN convention? Who is that politician? Who is that politician that aided the military in disqualifying all the major candidates of SDP and NRC? I say if they can answer it and the answer is negative for MKO Abiola, then the annulment of June 12 is evil. But if the answer is yes and it’s MKO Abiola, the annulment of June 12 was the best thing that happened because you can’t plant mango and reap yam. In 1979 I was in the UPN as a member of the House of Representatives and there was a provision in the transition decree of 1978/79 which made provision for Electoral College if the presidential election became inconclusive, and it really was inconclusive, because Shagari did not get two-third of the 19 states. So, we were preparing for Electoral College. NPP, GNPP, PRP and UPN we had majority in the National Assembly which constituted the Electoral College. The late Mallam Aminu Kano of PRP, Alhaji Waziri Ibrahim of GNPP, Nnamdi Azikiwe of NPP and Awolowo of UPN had met and we had all met. But three days to the Electoral College Obasanjo removed the clause on Electoral College; he removed the goal post within the run of play. The Electoral College was removed after the election when we were getting ready for it and that was why Awolowo had no other option and he had to go to court and the judgment gave rise to the issue of 12 2/3! A human being cannot be half, he is either full or… and that is why Justice Sowemimo said that that judgment cannot be quoted in future. Abiola and Obasanjo were involved as Egbas to remove that clause. Concord brought the headline “Maroko land: Awolowo where is your sincerity”. We were in Minna when it was published. Look it deflated the old man, it scattered him, in fact, he was no longer himself and he started battling how to explain. Now NPN went for their national convention in Kano and Umaru Dikko, he is alive, he said the presidential candidate of the NPN is not for sale. MKO Abiola wanted the presidential ticket he didn’t get it and he then came and aligned with the military people who now came in. And IBB came and set up two political parties, Shehu Yar‘adua, Adamu Ciroma and other major contenders in SDP and NRC, overnight the military disqualified all of them, aided and abetted by MKO Abiola. Because if Yar‘adua were (involved) there was no way MKO would have won. He was not even in contention until the disqualification of these major contenders. That is why I said that June 12 was a repayment for evil that was done against other people. But how do you see the June 12 election in terms of electoral conduct and fairness? The June 12 election because it was an open ballot and had only two parties which cut across tribal lines was one of the fairest elections ever held in this country. June 12 showed what a good government can do in an election. If IBB and Aikhomu wanted to tamper with the election, they could have tampered with the election, but they didn’t. It was a free and fair election but what I am telling you is that the annulment that came later was the hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob. What do you mean? What happened was a repayment for evil. But was that justified on the nation? Yes! What I am saying is that it was God’s own work, it was God’s own work. For Abiola’s alleged sin of… All the sins! But did that justify the derailment of the collective hope of Nigerians? What is the collective hope of Nigerians? Democracy Was the Buhari coup against Shagari justified? Was that the collective will of Nigerians? That is debatable because many Nigerians welcomed the coup just as majority of Nigerians were against the annulment of June 12. It is because you are a pressman. Do you know how many people in my village that were not interested and were happy with the annulment, even though some of us were not happy. You, were you happy with the annulment? The annulment served Abiola right, quote me! You cannot be destroying other people and expect to have victory. There is a parable that all those who destroy other people will end up having destruction at the hour of their victory. MKO should not have expected anything less. Tell me, was it justified for Shehu Musa Yar‘adua and Falae in the SDP to be disqualified? What did they do? Was it justified for Adamu Ciroma and co in the NRC to be disqualified? What did they do? They were all disqualified in both parties so that MKO Abiola who was a friend of the military could emerge as the strongest candidate. It was no secret that he paraded himself as a friend of the military. That man could not have expected to become president of Nigeria when he had ruined many people. The truth is that God does not come down to do some of these things Himself. He uses human beings as instruments and that is why when a man is looking for elective or appointive position, maybe as LGA chairman, governor, minister or president, he is looking for an aspect of the divinity of God. It is out of that divinity that the man in charge of affairs takes, compassion, service to the people, ability to manage everybody, forgiveness. Unfortunately, the moment you get that position and you do not utilise it, not generally, just some part of it…if you watch when Christ cured the ten lepers only one came back to say thank you, but he said where are the other nine? And if you read Hipppolytus he said that as soon as Christ asked where are the nine that the leprosy returned to the nine and they died of leprosy. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/06/annulment-was-payment-for-abiolas-evil-deeds-sen-owie/ |
BMCs |
suxes2005:Good evening bro, pls kindly check your email. |
buhariguy:These BMCs hahahahaha... |
buhariguy:Acquitted means he didn't steal the fund he was alleged to have stolen. Have you asked yourself what if he didn't steal it? |
I honestly wish they can all see these. Intelligence gathering before arrests can be made is no longer attainable in Nigeria. Every good looking young man is into yahoo, all just to make their ogas at the top think they're working |
Desperados in high places looking for power by fire by force. Fayose shine your eyes well well. |
Deputy1111:Then we wait and see |
PassingShot:South East don't vote party but individual. 2015 in Imo State, Rochas won resoundingly with APC but Buhari's vote in the same Imo state was abysmal. So don't think that because APC garnered votes in Anambra means that Buhari will do the same. It will so shock you he may not even get upto what he got in the entire region in 2015. |
How can we get this message across to the northern part of the country and to the uneducated Muslims in the South? This is what we should think about. |
The way some of you commenting here lambasting this lady, have you all given it thought that what if she's innocent and she's just unfortunate to meet a troublesome landlord? Some of you people here are just unbelievable. |
HRich:Shut your mouth if you have nothing to say here concerning this issue. In as much as some tenants can be troublesome, some landlords can be a pain in the ass expecting the tenants to lick the very ground they step foot on just because they rented the place to the tenants. |
dominique:Is the bold impossible? |
Swargu:Why can't she leave 170k inside her shop? The rented shop is her space which has a lock so she can leave whatever she wants in there. |
femi4:Nkem don't need to make it public, their crime is known in the public domain. What we should be asking for is what does the Nigerian law at the time say for the said crime they committed? And no people shouldn't be the one to decide the punishment to a crime when there's already a law in place for it. |
yarimo:Let me see if I can help you out here a bit. From what you typed above we'll like to know if Buhari killed them or the Nigerian law did. From what Nkem Owoh said, the LAWS OF NIGERIA at the time those young men committed the crime did not carry a death penalty sentence. So if the law didn't carry a death sentence, how were they killed? Who ordered that they be killed if not the man in charge who decided all by himself to have them murdered? Your a$$ licking is incredible dude. |
I just hope something meaningful can be achieved with this summit. |
I've been so happy with the predicament that befell Okorocha in Imo State, the party members should keep the heat up so they can at the end of the day burn themselves all out. Another party needs to be in charge of Imo and not this devilish APC. |
This only show that TY Danguma knew exactly what he was saying when he pointed out that the security agencies are complicit in the carnage been carried out by the terrorist Fulani herdmen. |
The tribal leaders of Benue have slammed the recent call by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai for a review of the state’s grazing law to accommodate killer herdsmen. They warned that such call could further embolden the marauders to unleash more killings in states like Benue. Speaking through their Chairman Chief Edward Ujege, the leaders under the aegis Mdzough U Tiv (MUT), Idoma National Forum and Omi-Ny’Igede, while commending the Army Chief for his dogged fight for a peaceful Nigeria, derided his counsel. He said: “He (Buratai( was quoted as saying that the laws should be reviewed in such a way that everyone is given a sense of belonging. By implication, General Buratai’s position is that even terrorists like ISIS, Boko Haram as well as other categories of militants should be given a sense of belonging in our country and Benue State in particular after being chased out of our communities. “We fault his counsel because the duty of the Nigeria Army is to provide security for lives and property especially when such security cannot be guaranteed by the Police or other sister security agencies. In other words, the Army or military is the last resort as far as dealing with security challenges of this nature in the country is concerned. “The truth of the matter is that the happenings in BenueState predate the enactment of the Benue State law to prohibit open grazing and establishment of ranches. Indeed, there are many other states across Nigeria where these murderous acts are presently occurring, for which no such laws have been enacted. These include Adamawa, Zamfara, Ondo, Kaduna, Plateau, Cross River, Enugu and Edo states. “Such statements coming from a highly placed person like General Buratai, are capable of igniting nerves and may be an invitation/encouragement to the militants to act, whereby the statements made by General Theophilus Danjuma becomes weighty. “It will therefore be wrong for General Buratai who is known for his professionalism and gallantry in dealing with such situations to delve into counseling state governments on reviewing their laws and policies when mercenaries alleged by the leadership in the country to be aliens are killing innocent Nigerians. “Even if review of such laws and policies were to be considered as counseled by the Chief of Army Staff, that would have been suggested after the military had chased out the ‘Muamar Gaddafi trained militia’ herdsmen out of the states in question. “Suggesting a review of such laws and policies to accommodate everyone means giving a backing to the aliens and other criminal militia herdsmen for their actions. “It is really worrisome for another to describe a law that conforms to international best practices of rearing animals as obnoxious and draconian. If we are quick to copy democracy from developed climes like the United States of America, why are we hesitant and even resistant to copying a modernized way of animal husbandry which is even practiced in African countries like South Africa, Swaziland among others? “We state unequivocally that the enactment and implementation of the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law, 2017, fulfilled all due processes and is not in any way in conflict with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “We want to put it on record that Sharia Law enacted in Zamfara pushed many out of business but they never took up arms. Rather, they relocated out of Zamfara to where they could do their legitimate business. Ours should not be an exception. “The law is a creation of Benue people and even Governor Ortom has no powers to decide otherwise. The ranching law came as one of the many options to end farmers and herdsmen crisis in the state which had been on for decades and anybody ascribing it to the Governor’s personal or political interest is insulting our collective sensibilities and we must condemn that in its entirety.” http://dailypost.ng/2018/05/11/benue-killings-buratai-fire-suggesting-review-grazing-law/amp/?__twitter_impression=true |
