A failure of a party. All they know to do is change the gains of the past administration all in the name of politics.

The fall-out of PDP misgovernance of 16 years! That’s the answer to the question!!

Seriously you're still blaming PDP. Like Dele Momodu will say you can't help a Buharideen

superlanny:
Mr Atiku you mean to say how you spent 18months planning on how to destroy Nigeria again, that plan of yours will never see the light of day in Jesus Name, Amen. This people don't have conscience at all, upon all the suffering you and your cohorts dished out to Nigerians in 16years, you want to rape us again, never again will we be raped again.

And what will you call what's happening to you now?

Obainoneandonly:

Tyrannts will always be tyrannts no matter the cloth they put on

babyfaceafrica:
this is super story

And how is this super story bros?

Who doesn't know that Buhary with his inability to obey court orders is a huge embarrassment?

LAGOS—NOBEL Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, yesterday, lampooned President Muhammadu Buhari over his alleged refusal to obey court orders, describing it as a national embarrassment.

Soyinka spoke as many prominent Nigerians called for the restructuring of the country as a way out of the present challenges against the unity of the country.

They spoke at the Handshake Across Nigeria summit titled: ‘Nigeria beyond oil’, organised by Nzuko Umunna and The Core Federalists, which took place in Lagos.

The summit was graced by prominent Nigerians, among whom were the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo; former Foreign Affairs Minister, Maj-Gen Ike Nwachukwu (retd); Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Adebanjo; Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Prof. Anya O. Anya, Young Progressive Party, YPP, presidential candidate, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu among others.

Soyinka, in his presentation, upbraided the administration’s failure to obey court orders particularly on the cases involving Shi’ite leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzakky and erstwhile National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd).

His words: “Forgiveness is a virtue. Although, I have the same temperament with my late friend, Tai Solarin, but it is a national embarrassment that our President has refused to obey laws. Citizens should not be the one to choose the laws to obey.

“We want the government to understand that they are part of the community and have been given a mission of carrying out the will of the people. When we talk about governance, we are talking about an instrument for the execution of people’s policy. Insecurity has reached a certain level that even when we bring experts in they wonder what exactly they have come to do. They are given a certain problem to solve, and when they arrived here they meet another problem.

“One way of stopping the bloodbath is to reconfigure the nation. States must be given maximum control over their resources. There are some, who prefer to grow rice, there are others who prefer to grow religion and we know where religion has taken us today.

Some people will like to say, it is not really religion that has gotten us to where we are, I agree with you; but some people have manipulated religion to suit their purpose. The effect of those who manipulated it is disastrous. If some people prefer to grow rice, and others to grow Sharia, then, both sides should be given the means to develop.

“Those insisting on restructuring do so because they know that there is something wrong with the state of Nigeria. Many times, Nigerians have come together to proffer solutions and the way forward for the country, but after spending so much time and effort, nothing ever comes out of it. The recommendations are left to gather dust. How much longer shall we continue like this?”

Nwachukwu canvasses return to old regions

Nwachukwu, who was the chairman of the occasion, cautioned that Nigeria could only reap the benefits of its potentials through a return to the old regions.

Nwachukwu said: “As we prepare for the elections, it is pertinent to remind members of the INEC that theirs is a sacred trust. Though appointed by the government, they are responsible to the people of Nigeria. To make INEC truly independent, there is the need to review the system of appointing its members.”

Nwodo chides opponents of restructuring

Ohanaeze President, Chief Nwodo, in his speech, said: “Those campaigning against restructuring in Nigeria have painted an unfortunate and untrue picture that those of us in support of restructuring are doing so in order to deny the northern states, who have not yet any proven oil reserves of the ability to survive. This is unfortunate. The new model we propose for Nigeria recognizes that revenue in the world today is promoted by two main sources namely, human capital development leveraging on technology to drive the critical sectors of the economy and agriculture.

“Nigeria beyond oil must contemplate the implementation of legislative independence to the federating units, sovereignty of mineral and oil resources to the federating units, a painstaking resolve to support all electoral processes and candidates that would bring about this change.”

Adebanjo harps on restructuring

A chieftain of the Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, Chief Adebanjo, expressed shock at the differences in opinion shared by President Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

Adebanjo said: “It is unfortunate that both President Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo do not understand each other as regards restructuring. I do not know why the Vice President, who is a Professor of Law, does not know what it entails.

“If you do not restructure, the country would break up. If you say that the unity of the country is non-negotiable, then you do not have a choice than to restructure.”

We won’t decide for people — NEF boss

The Director-General of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Yima Sen, however, differred saying: “As a group, the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, has met several times with the northern governors and the northern traditional rulers over the issue of restructuring and discussions are still ongoing. But one thing we have decided is that we are going to dialogue with our people and know what they want. Most often, the elites push an agenda because they think that is what those they are leading want and they usually do it out of pride and arrogance.

“We need to move from the level of sentiments to the scientific. It is important that when such important issues are discussed, the elites should be humble enough to ask their people what they want and that is what we are doing. We are not going to decide for our people whether they want restructuring or not. We are going to ask them and listen to what they have to say.”

I've been a member of Nairaland since 2012 and I'm very frequent with the business section.

I have a very serious issue that has been a pain on my neck and I will try as much as I can to summarize everything

I sent a sum of N1m to a Uber taxi driver's account number on the 20th October, 2018. This money was a part payment bill for one of my family members who is battling with a life-threatening health issues. That happened about 4 weeks ago.

This is how the whole thing happened

Below are the screenshots of everything

Go to Twitter and get in touch with @segalink he and his team will be able to help you get your money back.

Beremx:
I watched the video yesterday. You are right

Do you understand the languagenand what they were saying from watching the video?

They know the midget is out to swindle them once more. It's good the people are wiser now.

Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue state, says since he dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC), he has been paying workers their salaries.

According to the governor, godfatherism in APC did not allow him to be a free man.

He stated this while swearing in nine commissioners in Makurdi, the state capital.

Ortom said there is no “godfatherism again in Benue” under his watch.

He said since he defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he had become free to pay salaries.

“There is no godfatherism again in Benue under my watch. That is why you can see that since I detached myself from godfather, even salary I have been able to pay as at when due,” he said.

“I’m seeking for other ways in offsetting the remaining arrears of salaries. Since I left APC, I have been paying salaries. In APC, godfathers will not allow me but now I’m a free man.”

Guys the plan of these people is to totally wreck Nigeria. Nigeria is finished

Afamed:
Children like you lack decorum, hence the reason I don't indulge with banter with kids on Nairaland.

If you're wrong you admit you're wrong. El rufai went there on election and he wants to move around, even the Governor knew he has no right to move around and he didn't do that so who is El rufai to do that?

Now answer this, what El rufai wanted to do, move around to polling units on election day in another state, can he allow that happen in his own state?

PassingShot:
OP lacks comprehension ability.

The memo simply said "no credentials were required to be submitted" by then. It didn't say "Buhari didn't submit his credentials despite the need to do so".

Una no get brain aswear.

And I thought this guy knew something. Why would you submit documents for a program which never requested for it huh? It's was even just a professional course back then which could have lasted for just a week and you all were dancing that he went to college. Shame

I'm glad Okorocha getting digging his political grave deeper with his own hands. Let him continue pls.

The next government whether APC or PDP should collect all those things back. He has wrecked Imo State which is why he wants to install his son in law to cover his atrocities and also continue pillaging the State of its fund.

That Estate must be collected from him. What's the wife doing to have such money to build that?

ImperialYoruba:
That explains why the meeting was taken offshore like they do with our treasury. Of course no one can be expected to share policy on looting. I underatand now why the policy is a secret.

Atiku is a thief!

It was taken offshore so that Buhary as we all know him to always do won't use his attack dogs (the police, DSS) to disrupt their meeting.

#Fact.

The way Okoroawusa is being dealt with dey sweet me like mad. We say NO to Okorocha political dynasty in Imo State.

ShameOnAPC:
Lai is depreciating

Did you say "is"? The dude has depreciated a long time ago. No coming out of it for him.

Come on not again

rusher14:
Government can only arrest and prosecute.

In Chicago till today, gangs are murdering each other daily. I'm sure that's been the fault of successive governors of Illinois and presidents of the United States.

You don't get to compare Chicago with Kaduna, gangster war has been there for ages. It has always been a war of supremacy and drug which the government is doing all it can to curtail. Can you say the same here? No. What do we have here? Reports has been coming in pointing that the Kaduna state government has a hand in it. What do you expect when curfew is relaxed in Muslim dominated areas and fully enforced in non-Muslim areas, what message is the government passing across?

rusher14:
Stupid senators playing politics with lives.

Once people are bent on murder there is hardly anything you can do.

When people are bent on murder the government has a responsibility to flush them out and deal with them. Government has all the necessary tools at their disposal to handle the situation and succeed.

When crises continues with the perpetrators not arrested then government has a hand in it.

buhariguy:
How did you want him to answer,
He was trying to answer the question from the beginning of the problem.

You say?
I just dey pity you.

Where is that resurgent guy? His left, right and center yansh.

Olohunjedalo:
Even sowore knows a particular region is politically useless . He dare not pick a running mate from that region .
I will not mention that region

Common sense should have told you that Sowore being a Southerner is supposed to pick a Northerners as running mate to be able to get some votes. But how else can I help when you have indomie for a b...n

You mean Liar Mohammed, the Eze mmuo of fake news, we know already.

resurgent4oodua:
I hedged my bet. The Hausas can't come down here and cut my family to pieces but the igbos can formulate policies to hurt the interests of yorubas. Am I a bad person? No, I am only trying to survive.

Until you igbos stop trying to hurt yorubas for a civil war we knew nothing about, nothing will change.

#istandwithbuharitill2023

Isn't it funny that your delusional self thinks the Igbos are out to hurt you? Like they don't have more important things they should be doing with their lives than to be looking for how to hurt you. Wake up from your self induced nightmare. For all we know the Igbos have been sounding it loud and clear for the country to be restructured so that very constituent part can take care of themselves and develop at their own pace. Kapish?

resurgent4oodua:
The PDP is proving true to type as a strictly Ipobian party.

The group should leave them alone to do what they like.

We are solidly behind the APC and PMB/PYO!

#istandwithbuharitill2023

This guy ehhh, yesterday Buhari wants to islamize Nigeria, Buhari's herdsmen are killing our people but today because an Igbo is VP candidate of PDP its now Buhari till 2023. In other words they can go ahead and continue killing your people and Islamize Nigeria. Shameless and confused individual

Buhari will never attend this restructuring summit.

raumdeuter:
Support whoever you like SW are supporting our son Osinbajo, SouthEast support their son Peter Obi

Alright we've heard you SW support your son. Thanks and bye

CityNGR:
With Peter Obi's VP choice.... I'd rather stick with Osinbajo.... Even though I don't like the lifeless one.

Your life, your choice
