When people are jealous of ur success and they know they can not be better than you, they resolve to tarnishing ur image. Calabar is still the cleanest and greenest city in nigeria. That's a fact.

[quote author=Sincere4u post=35259060]What kind of stupid excuse is that. Let them enumerate the mess. Not all Nigerians are brainwashed.[/quote ] I wonder o. APC are tired of propaganda. They think we still during the campaign hence their obsession with PDP. All we ask is just dividends of democracy and not the nonsense they keep spewing in the media.

Franzeez:
2 million naira cannot even build a fence talkless of a helipad. I see you love PMB so much that you can't think.

hehehehehheehe.

HopeAtHand:
If you intend om amassing likes on NL.

1) Get tribal and insult either Yoruba or Igbo and either tribesmen will like your comment no matter how bad it is.

2) Insult Buhari and praise GEJ or vice versa.

3) Say something rily insightful and well-informed.

Op, you must have combined all three.

lols. So on point.

I am of the opinion that Seun should remove like button from Politics section.

It has destroyed credible informative analysis, the spirit of elevating debate beyond emotions, and factual narratives.

Can you imagine a comment calling President Buhari, De Duara Dullard (3D) getting "230 likes" while an insult on Barcanista receives "123 likes" without stating any contrary opinion to his critiques.

It is becoming pathetic on which posts receive "likes" and the rush to book space and write absolute rubbish.

the 3D analogy got me chuckling. Wetin person no go c for nairaland. For me anytime I enter nairaland I just get ready to laugh. It seems everyone one nairaland is a comedian.

The enormous influence of speaking and writing over the evolution of the human race is unquantifiable as our modern and present age owes much of its advancements to the works of previous ages. Speaking and writing has immensely altered the course of so many events, as weak and spineless people have been able to rise and summon courage from nowhere to achieve astounding feats through the power of sheer rhetorics.
While one cannot effectively distinguish the grey-line obfuscating how significant or important writing or speaking has over each other, it will still be interesting to sample opinions on which one is more challenging to carry out over the other.

The Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly, Mr.
Najeem Salaam, said on Thursday that Justice Folahanmi
Oloyede, who wrote a petition calling for the
impeachment of Governor Rauf Aregbesola, has
expressed her readiness to defend her allegations
against the governor.
The Speaker said this in a statement made available to
our correspondent in Osogbo through his media aide, Mr.
Goke Butika.
The Speaker, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives
Congress just like the governor stated that the Assembly
had written to Aregbesola demanding his response to the
allegations leveled against him by the petitioner.
He said, “The onus of proof lies on the petitioner who
has expressed her readiness to defend her allegations
before the parliamentarians, while Gov. Aregbesola’s
response would also be awaited for the sake of fair
hearing.
“The legislature has elected to give Justice Oloyede’s
petition a critical attention, because she is a serving
judge In the state, and justice demands that her
allegations be given a look, for she holds a prime
position in the judiciary, an arm of government in the the
state.
” The House of Assembly has asked Governor Rauf
Aregbesola to forward his response on the allegations
raised by Justice Oloyede Folahanmi of Osun State High
Court, having made a copy of the petition available to
him on Wednesday by the Office of the Speaker.”
Salaam admitted that the state had a problem paying its
workers but urged members of the opposition and critics
of the Aregbesola administration to stop blackmailing the
governor.
He appealed to them to channel their grievances in a
peaceful manner so as not to disturb the peace of the
state.
He said that the House was always ready to interface
between the people and the government without
compromising the independence of the legislature as
guaranteed by the constitution.
The parliament under my watch would not be stampeded
on any issue before it; thoroughness would be deployed
into the facts presented without prejudice, for House of
Assembly is a shrine of democracy, where democratic
value and ethos must be upheld.
“Yes, we have challenges in our nation, and our state is
not immune from the hydra-headed challenges, but with
the coordinated responses of the government at all
levels, as it is ongoing, those challenges would soon be
history.”
It will be recalled that the judge, who is serving in Osun
State Judiciary wrote a petition to the House of Assembly
over the issue of nonpayment of almost eight months
salaries in the state.
The judge’s petition read in part, “Consequently, the
admitted inability of Mr. Governor and his deputy to pay
pensions, salaries and allowances for periods ranging
from eight to 11 months now, as a consequence of their
own decision to accumulate debts beyond the capacity of
the state’s internally generated revenue, whilst the very
‘ actors’ Mr. Governor and his deputy continue to enjoy
their security allowances in hundreds of millions, is a
violation of their oaths of office.
“Their action in this respect is as illegal as it is immoral
and unconscionable. It is an evidence of their inability to
discharge the functions of their office. There is therefore
no legal or moral basis for their continued stay in office.
“To this end and for this reason I am sure other well -
meaning and concerned members of the Osun
community are hereby calling on honourable members of
the state House of Assembly to pick up the gauntlet and
redeem themselves by giving effect to the provisions of
Sections 128 and 129 of the Constitution, empowering
them to investigate and bring to justice, all those who
have corruptly enriched themselves at the expense of
Osun and her people.”

Cross River State Governor, Senator Ben Ayade
yesterday, ordered that payment of June 2015 salary of
the state civil servants be done not later than Friday,
June 26th.
A statement by the Secretary to the State Government
(SSG), Mrs. Tina Banku Agbor, said “The gesture is in
keeping with Governor Ayade’s commitment to ensuring
prompt payment of salaries to all categories of the
state’s work force on the 25th of every month.
“Regular and timely payment of wages to workers will
among others, enhance their welfare with the overall
objectives of promoting efficiency and productivity in the
civil service.”
The Governor, according to the statement, urged
workers to reciprocate government’s good intention by
upholding good work ethics, adherence to rules and
regulations and being creative at all times in the
discharge of their duties.”
Meanwhile, work has begun on the garment factory
proposed by the Governor.
Sited on a six hectare parcel of land along the Goodluck
Jonathan by-pass, Calabar, the garment factory which is
one of Governor Ayade’s industrialization initiatives is
aimed at generating employment for the citizenry.
Upon completion, the factory is expected to generate
about a thousand jobs.

Leave a Comment
ADVERTISEMENT
A serious fight has broken out among members of the
House of Representatives, with the federal lawmakers
exchanging blows.
At the plenary of the House on Thursday, the tension and
divided interest among the legislators led to a brawl,
which is still ongoing as of the time of filing this report,
between the two factions in the chamber.
At the heart of the fighting is the leadership crisis, which
has engulfed the House since the controversial
inauguration of the National Assembly.
The Mace, which is the symbol of authority of the House,
has disappeared, as the lawmakers continue with their
fighting.
It is learnt that the Mace has however been ferried to the
inner office of the Speaker, Ibrahim Dogara.
Details later…

A man who kindly left the seat of power so that common Nigerians won't be consumed by pro election violence, the same man you are telling me emptied the treasury. I don't believe it its what the military will call bloody lie.

Long live Ebele GoodLuck Jonathan. We will always be indebted to you THANK YOU.

As a neutral, I'm beginning to hate APC. At times as an opposition you just have to give credit when it is due, it shows class. Not telling lies to demonize your opponent. They started this politics of lies and propaganda and is not helping our politics cause now you can't really tell what's true or false any more. They should be careful cause this hydra headed monster of propaganda they've created at a national scale in our politics will soon start to haunt them.

Thank God Nigerians are becoming politically enlightened everyday. If this rate continues, I believe the status quo will soon end and good governance will now become the minimum requirement. I think we need more of this civil rights groups so that they'll be check and balances, accountability and transparency in the system. infact I believe all Nigerians should consciously involve themselves political whether they are interested in politics or not. Cause every political decisions affects all of us whether we like it or not.

amany007:
These could be one of the cynical ploy the US and others are using to polarise nigeria and the entire Africa so that their suprimacy in the world may be strenghten. My fellow Nigerians they have done this to Libya, Irac and others. The continous unity of Nigeria is a threat to world power and the world is ready to penetrate nigeria through whatever means. Countries of the world hardly advances if the tinest minority is not given a sense of belonging. Until we continue to see our neighbour from another region as our priority in the discharge of our duty, we are not ready to welcome the nigeria that the world will envy.

what we really need is true fiscal federalism and resource control not actually breaking away. I think that should be at the front banner of our agitation. We are not as big as china, US, or even Russia yet the noise of us breaking. I even prefer the model being deployed by the UK.

Nnamdi Kanu and his fellow dreamers are banking on the SS to be a part of their Biafra..In life you never put your expectations on others.

Other than SS, the Biafran dream is DOA..We come with Us the Oyel, land area and all important access to the sea needed to start up a new country.Because the SS arent one people in language and culture, there cant be a consensus on the Biafran issue.

The FG attack on Militants is a pointer that the FG are aware of Nnamdi Kanu and partnership with some militants..The FG considers the militants more of the threat and will only nuetralise the militants who have access to the sea routes and then allow Nnamdi Kanu and his lots to die of frustration.

Okijajuju1 its no coincidence you created this thread, as a liverpool fan you know when a people are walking alone ..Surely the Biafrans are.

As a neutral from SS, if biafra is achieved by the barrel of the gun which means it will be sustained by the barrel of the gun. And they'll be unending civil war, infighting, struggle by war lords for supremacy. If you doubt me look at sudan. I think the best way to achieve d biafra dream is a peaceful process by continously putting pressure and engaging the international community to get a referendum. This current standing and posture is a keg of gun powder that can explode anytime. At times peace is d best option even if it takes 100 years to achieve your aim.

All this mock elections, na themselves dem d mock

MARKone:
That is our major problem we rant, on social media, on print media, we just keep on ranting, no attempt to show our collective anger, through peaceful demonstrations, Nigerians can shut down NASS if they so desire, but how can we achieve that, when those who are supposed to lead us have been compromised, labour is divided, many religious leaders are concerned more about tithes and offerings, the average Nigerian seems not to even care, as long as there is food on the table, no matter how small....life goes on.

This issue NASS is constitutional and unfortunately NASS has been deeply monetised, and RMAFC on their own is not helping matters. Our Bicameral system is expensive, being manned by kleptomaniac politicians, a den for failed governors, drug barons and power hungry block heads(T.A Orji) . We should copy the Chinese National People's Congress, which apart from being Unicameral, have part time lawmakers, that sits like four times in a year to pass bills.
We cannot continue doing things like this, that change must start from our political leaders.

true talk. Though I've never gone for a protest before, but this particular one I'm more than willing to go. The problem with an average Nigerian is that nobody is willing to die for others to enjoy, nobody is willing to sacrifice for the greater good of others. Our fathers have refuse to pay and we the children don't want to pay the price for our children and grandchildren to benefit.

Flets:
Tribalism and ethnocentrism was taken to a new height by APC and as such, we might never muster the unity to fight a common goal as our aspirations are different

SE wants Biafra
SS wants Resource control
NE/ NW wants to retain power and resources in united Nigeria
NC wants emancipation from Fulani stronghold
Not sure what the SW wants

True talk. Wat do d SW rilly want?

To all intending entrepreneurs, this is a potential market. And is estimated at over 600 billion naira(over 2.8 billion dollars). The situation in our country begs for more entrepreneurs. How I wish power was stable, entrepreneurship for sweet die for dis country. See as money d go down d drains. SMH.

No excuse for irresponsiblity and ineptitude. I begin to wonder, if d legislative arm of government is to check d executive, den whose responsiblity is it to check d legislative? Anyways nice to see d once docile citizens of Osun staking a claim for their rights.

Those rejoicing that lagos is not mentioned, no deceive yourself, lagos will always be flood prone zone except d government sort out d poor drainage system in lagos. Infact 80% of lagos flood is man made due to the extremely bad drainage system for a megacity like lagos.

Why is it dat wen u criticize APC for any their ills, they immediately tag u a Tanoid. They can't tolerate criticism at all but dey were d ones dishing it out most. I'm beginning to think dat if they had come into power earlier than dis d would hav denied us Freedom of Information hence d reason why they haven't domesticated it in their respective domains. From d look of things, APC will only last 4 years in power. It seems dey enjoy playing opposition more than ruling. Since opposition politics doesn't come wit responsiblity.

Is it not d same media dey used as their attack dog during d last administration? Now dey can't withstand their criticism. Do unto others wat u will have dem do unto you.

obailala:
That's very likely... What else do 'big men' talk about that makes them so excited?

hahahahahahaha.

Abeg mak person help me answer o, na dis woman be shehu garba or femi adeshina. Or mak dem recruit her join dem femi adeshina so dat dem go fit defend well. Na now dem go no say defence hard well well to play. If ask abati. Infact make dem hire mourinho to help dem park d bus well o. Cos d attack no go easy o. Dem neva chi chom chin.

Chai na our lawmakers suppose act game of thrones. D whole tin is turning to ghen ghen. See scheming n counter scheming. D starks, lannisters, taeygareans, barratheons, taeyrels, n boltons d learn for where our lawmakers dey.

When they were busy chanting change little did they realize that they'll also be a victim of change. Change is a double edge sword and a respecter of no one. It doesn't care who wields it at the moment, it can turn around to hunt you. But one thing is constant in life and that is CHANGE. Its time to change the changer. I love this change. Long may it continue!

APC is acting like a child who just got a new toy for the first time in their life. They rather grow up and stop all this soap operas they keep spinning everyday and begin to deliver on their promises. From indications, is like this 8th assembly may turn out to be the most useless melodramatic assembly ever, trumping previous ones. Especially the upper chamber that used to be an epitome of maturity is now turning into a motor park square. Oh! Lest I forget, #NASSslashyourallowances.

Wey I for dey dere, I for borrow dem bottle to use on each other. It seems they'll be more useful in fighting pits and arenas(spartacus) more than making laws. They should keep entertaining us with their show of shame. After all its always a pleasant sight watching your enemies have a go at each other. Useless bunch of lazylathieves. #NASSslashyourallowances

If them like make dem blow commot each oda teeth. Dem must slash dia allowance. #NASSslashyourallowance

Maxymilliano:
Wonder shall never end.


Aregbesola that could not manage his State is also demanding for someone else resignation ?

hahahahahahaha. When animals with horns d show body even snail too commot go d form notice me.

We nigerians we r always gud at talking. When will we begin to act? We nigerians we r always gud at talking. When will we begin to act?

Lies is ubiquitous as air to APC. Those guys can lie such dat even satan looks like a learner. Thumbs up barcanista, continue to turn up d heat on dem so dat they'll know dat Nigerians are becoming wiser everyday and no longer dat ignorant.
