datbay: Honestly,am disappointed in fashola,it seems Jonathan is becoming too lenient. These APC governors have no respect for the president.

Disappointed? For saying the truth?
Read part of what Fashola said:

Fashola insisted that Jonathan’s attitude was
“Truly strange and Truly
unAfrican”He asked, “How does this
sound? ‘Hello neighbour, I heard
you lost your child to abductors.
Please come and see me at home so
I can sympathise with you’.“This is
my paraphrasing of what has so far
transpired. As if this was not bad
enough, the event had been
followed by another round of lies
about whether or not they tried to
give money to the bereaved parents.
For me, it’s a low point for
leadership, it suggests lack of
empathy.”According to him, “The
first lie when the news of the
abduction broke was that all the
abducted girls had been retrieved.
When that was exposed, the next lie
was to raise doubts whether they
were truly missing. “When that was
not enough, they are now telling us
that they know where the children
are. We are prayerfully waiting that
they will bring the children home.”

This woman is suffering from Jonah syndrome.
What if APC wins the 2015 presidential elections? She would run out of the country

yinchar: You are a complete fo.ol, where did she said that, because I still remember she didn't mention any party in her press statement yesterday, and besides where's the source?

You are the foo.l here.
She said it today on Raypower fm

Utter rubbish. Maryln Ogar should know better,how on earth would she say APC offered them money. Is APC a person? Who exactly in the APC offered the money?
When is the person going to be prosecuted?

Clearly, Ogar was partisan in her responses this morning. Rather than address the issue she was busy throwing jibes at APC. She told us how APC thugs were arrested with charms but refused to tell us how many PDP thugs were arrested. Or PDP didn't use thugs?

She even asked what was an old man like Lai Muhammed doing outside between 11pm and 12am on Friday. When has it become the responsibility of the DSS to determine where a free Nigerian should be at any given time? Is there not freedom of movement anymore?

Is the application form still on sale?

jusRadical: There is a serious onslaught in the world against Christians by Islam and the government of various countries.


The funny thing is that Christians are busy denying this. Look at what is happening in India, Iraq, Nigeria, Sudan, America, Europe, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc.

We Christians are busy playing church and denomination. Busy chasing shadows like prosperity, healing, breakthrough, etc.

What a shame.

I earnestly pray for the revival of the church of Christ world wide.

You are damn wrong .The Boko haram menace is not a fight against xtians,it is a fight against all Nigerians.

Sincere9gerian: You lose some and you win some. That is the BEAUTY of democracy.

In GEJ's new Nigeria, the office of the citizen has been elevated to the all powerful KING MAKER.

In GEJ's new Nigeria, do or die politics and politics of assassination are gone for ever.

I just hope the APC and PDP state governors will allow this BEAUTY of democracy to trickle down to the local govt and ward level.

Meanwhile, the PDP candidate did well but not enough to upset the incumbent. He'll live to fight another day. Congratulations to Aregbe!

i hope you ve checked your blood pressure.

May God punish all those who recommended and gave Abacha a centenary award

sanky346: He is pro Aregbesola. We will keep him till after the election. The days of supporter of APC reporting are over

They just kidnapped ur moda too

ChelseaKings: Please let us get it straight and lay all these confusion to rest... Any university that the Engineering faculty has not been accredited, the engineering courses are still under physical sciences and their degree will be Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.Sc Engineering). Once the engineering courses are accredited as faculty, they are on their own and the degree gotten from there will be pure B.Engineering. Is like that in every part of the world. Hope this is clear. Top of the morning to you guys.

What you don't know you don't say.

Afrocatalyst: Oga, this is Lagos. Forget that culture you're talking about. Go to your village and practise that!
I understand the importance of culture but not at the expense of those who don't belong with you!

So the indigenes of Lagos shouldn't practise their culture?

They have always been in the PDP

What do we then call PDP with Alamiyeseigha, Bode George,Ibori et al in its fold?

OP,u failed to tell us why Omisore was not fielded in 2003

ejlee: Na today you know, US is a key Sponsor of Boko Haram Just to weaken Nigeria Status as Africa Giant why Amnesty Internation is US Talking Drum, hmmm we need to ignored them # United Nigeria

It's now US ,no longer APC
Hypocrisy

Joblessness indeed

When a politician issues a dud cheque,we shouldn't be surprised, it's part of them but when a Reverend father fights a governor because of money then something is wrong

RockMaxi: With a Panel of questionable characters what do you expect.

Were the allegations against Al Makura not questionable?

This is no good for our democracy

bot101: under his is presidency, nigeria became africa's largest and most sought after economy despite insurgency and unstable power supply. just imagine what would happen if we are able to achieve stable power supply. so much for a DAFT and CLUELESS president.

What shall it profit a president who govern 'africa's largest and most sought after economy' when its citizen cannot sleep with two eyes closed?

What is the primary purpose of a government?

I'm sure it's APC that doled out the N22.4m to the Chibok community in order to tarnish the reputation of the president.

At first it was no money was given now it is the President was not
aware of any decision to bribe
anybody.
Who is fooling who?

And who is this special adviser on special duties? Why is his/her name not mentioned?

It's clear there's a lot of money being thrown around in the presidency.
N22.4 million? And the president does not know about it ? Who then know about it? America?

The Presidency on Friday insisted
that President Goodluck Jonathan
did not direct anybody to share
money to the parents of the
schoolgirls abducted in Chibok,
Borno State, and their colleagues
who escaped after his meeting with
them.
Jonathan had on July 22 met with
parents of the girls abducted from
the Government Secondary School,
Chibok, Borno State, on April 14, by
Boko Haram insurgents.
The meeting, which was held 99
days after the abduction, also had
Chibok community leaders in
attendance.
Some of the parents had in an
interview with the British
Broadcasting Corporation alleged
that a gift of N100m was given to
them through their leaders in Abuja,
who decided to short-change them.
In his response, the Special Adviser
to the President on Media and
Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, had
dismissed the allegation as
“completely untrue.”
Abati said the onus laid on those
who made the allegation to prove it.
Less than 24 hours after, the Kibaku
Area Development Association
(Chibok community) made it clear
that the Presidency shared N22.4m
to those who attended the meeting.
The association in a press statement
signed by its spokesman, Dauda Ilya,
said 63 individuals, comprising 51
escaped girls were given N100,000
each, while 51 parents equally
received N100,000 each, and
another 61 parents got N200,000
each.
Ilya said the money was given to the
beneficiaries in their hotel rooms by
the Special Adviser to the President
on Special Duties. He added that 10
parents out of the 122 that took part
in the meeting with Jonathan did
not receive any money.
But Abati, in an exclusive interview
with SUNDAY PUNCH on Friday,
insisted that the President was not
aware of any decision to bribe
anybody.
He said the allegation could be an
attempt to frustrate efforts of the
Federal Government aimed at
rescuing the over 200 girls still in
captivity and to alleviate their
parents’ pains.
Rather, the presidential spokesman
stated that the allegation would be
thoroughly investigated.
He, however, did not disclose the
agency of government that will carry
out the investigation or when such
will be done.
Abati said, “I have already made it
clear that what they are saying is
completely unknown to the
President. He did not direct anybody
to go and give bribe to anyone.
“The attempt to make a big issue
out of this looks like an attempt to
frustrate efforts of the
administration at ensuring that
everything within the powers of
government is done to bring back
the girls and to alleviate the
frustrations and pain of the parents
“This kind of frustration to drag the
name of the President into the
matter, the allegation, if there is any
iota of seriousness in it, will be fully
investigated.”

A lot of people say APC is not the
kind of opposition they want for
Nigeria and I ask,is the PDP the kind
of ruling party they want? Even if
APC does not provide the platform
for a good opposition, should we not
start from somewhere?
Today,Nigerian electorates are driven by one of religion,ethnicity or personal
interest.

Let's look at these;
Shekarau ,the former governor of Kano,was an advocate of a
Northern presidency but today his
political colour has changed , he
now supports GEJ because of
personal interest

What about Asari Dokubo? He
wants GEJ to continue not because
he is 'performing' but because GEJ
is from the South-South.

Another case is that of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor,he supports GEJ for two
reasons; he benefits from his govt
and that GEJ is a Christian.
And that explains the Nigerian story.
Most electorates vote for those reasons above.

The PDP wins elections all around
Nigeria not because the electorates
love the party but because the PDP
have enough money to throw
around .
The PDP is the most hated
political party in Nigeria,but in the
midst of very glaring,pervasive and
prevalent poverty that ravages the
Nigerian masses , with a bowl of
expired rice and adulterated kerosene, a gullible electorate
would love PDP from the bottom of his heart.
Those who are in the corridors of
power want GEJ to continue so that
the 'chop chop' would continue ,
nothing more.
The Nigerian political environment
is not driven by performance but by
what I refer to as 'unavoidable
constraints';religion,ethnicity and
personal interest .
May God save this country

obayaya: Dele will always be Dele

Summary!!! You are a fan of APC because the country needs a vibrant opposition !!!

I agree!!! But we don't need an opposition that appears to be the same or even worse than the ruling party.

We need a genuine opposition with a genuine and workable idealogy.

That's why people like us on the sidelines can't just join the bandwagon of opposition just for the sake of opposing the government without any defined direction or focal point.

It'll amount to training another dragon to kill the dragon that have been giving us sleepless nights.

The new dragon will eventually turn on us in the near future.

Scary

They call themselves men of God but perpetrate evil acts around town.
God will continue to expose them

The discovery of a baby placenta in
the residence of a man, identified
simply as Alfa Gani, is causing
confusion in the Laduba community,
Ogidi area of Ilorin, Kwara State.
Our correspondent gathered on
Thursday that the discovery was
made when some volunteers went
round the Laduba community to
appeal for financial contributions
from residents for the repair of a
faulty transformer in the area.
It was said that the volunteers
perceived offensive odour at Gani’s
residence, which they later reported
to other members of the
community.
It was said that curious to know
what smelled, some members of the
community rushed to Gani’s
residence and demanded an
explanation for the offensive odour
oozing from his house.
An eyewitness, who pleaded
anonymity, told PUNCH Metro that
Gani initially accused the community
members of intruding into his
privacy.
He was said to have rushed to the
Oloje Police Station to report the
community members.
The source added that before Gani
could come back with the police, the
community members had entered
his house and discovered a boy with
a baby placenta.
The enraged community members
were said to have beaten up the
boy, making him to confess that he
was asked to prepare a charm by
Gani, who allegedly exhumed the
placenta.
While this was going on, our
correspondent gathered that a
woman, whose baby naming
ceremony was recently held near
Gani’s house, arrived at the scene.
On seeing the placenta, she was
said to have rushed to where the
placenta of her new-born baby was
buried, only to discover that it was
missing. She was said to have raised
the alarm, alerting the community
members to the ugly development.
When he came back with the
policemen to arrest the community
members, the commotion was still
in progress.
The source said, “The residents
narrated their discovery to the
policemen. It was at that point that
the policemen decided to search the
entire house including an
uncompleted building behind the
suspect’s house, after which they
discovered some human parts.”
It was gathered that the enraged
mob vandalised Gani’s house and
set it on fire.
Our correspondent gathered that
the policemen, who were
overwhelmed by the crowd,
managed to prevent them from
lynching the suspect as they whisked
Gani away to their station.
It was learnt that the incident fuelled
speculations that there were dens of
ritual killers and markets where
human parts were traded in Ilorin.
The Police Public Relations Officer,
Kwara State Command, Mr. Ajayi
Okasanmi, however, told our
correspondent that there was no
den of ritual killers in the state
capital.
He said, “That is not true. What was
discovered was not a den of ritual
killers, but a suspected criminal who
was used to performing fetish
activities.
“The man was looking for a placenta
of a new baby, exhumed the buried
placenta and used it for whatever
yet-to-be identified purpose.
“He just came back from jail. He
went to where a placenta was just
buried about three days ago before
the incident. He dug up the placenta
and while he was doing that, people
saw him and tried to do things their
own way.
In the process of damaging his
house by the youth, the police got
there and arrested the suspect with
the exhibit.
“The police have started
investigation to get to the root of the
matter.”
