PoliticsRe: Ministerial List Ready For Senate Screening by igala1(m): 10:12am On Sep 26, 2015
[qauthor=chukwudi44 post=38392041]

Yes you are right!! It is just that majority of the senators including the leadership are not with Tinubu hence the "the nays will have it"[/quote]Its obvious Tinubu's nominee would loose out because the President if given the chance doesn't want to work with ministers. In his recent remark, he discredited their roles. I think Saraki's senate would confirm PMB's men but reject Tinubu& OBJ's nominees with that the President would be happier working with very few ministers. This cat&dog fight between Saraki&Tinubu is in the Presidents favour.
PoliticsRe: Saraki’s Trial Won’t Affect Ministerial Screening – Senate by igala1(m): 9:26am On Sep 26, 2015
Apparently its obvious from the Presidents body language and recent comments, he prefer not to work with Ministers if given the opportunity. He recently called their duty a lousy one. One a voice vote commences after interviewing the ministers, there would be equal nays& ayes. Saraki would veto. There is a probability that out of 36 ministerial nominee only 10-15 would sail through. Any nominees from the Tinubu& OBJ bloc would be rejected. The President would be happy with the trimmed number.

Wetin Fayemi and Amaechi dey find for that list? Let them sort their corruption cases out first. I think Ekiti and Rivers should stone them just like Saraki when next they visit their states maybe with that, PMB will know they have corruption cases lying on dia necks. As for PMB, no fall our hand dis time again oooo. Best of luck
Amaechi has dragged his accusers to court to come and show the world what they were speculating on the media. He's ready to defend his alleged corruption. So if you have any evidences to present please join the matter at the Abuja high court

PoliticsRe: 2015 Presidential Election - A More Objective Prediction Of The Outcome by igala1(m): 12:10am On Dec 25, 2014
Good analysis except for the below
1. Kogi state: you have the okusn, ebiras & igalas in the 3 senatorial zones. Ebira& igala will vote on religious lines while the okuns would vote on ethnic lines. Decision: Buhari 60%
2. Benue state: based on unresolved issues in PDP leading to 2 major decampees, Gemade & Samuel Ortom and with George Akume in APC from the Tiv, also rising challenges for Mark with his Idoma people, its gonna be a swing. Decision: Jonathan 55%
3. Lagos state: block vote from here are based on high intelectualism of the peole there. The state of the economy would determine their votes. Decision: buhari 70%
4. Ogun state: unresolved issues in PDP would play into APC's hands. The OBJ effect, Running Mate-Osinbajo's effect. He's from Ikene in Ogun. Decision: Buhari 70%.
EducationRe: Oyedepo Defends Fees Charged By Private Universities by igala1(m): 3:14pm On Sep 21, 2014
Schools built by church funds are called missionary schools. Why can't we give back to the society what it gave us. I ask, how much did it cost back then to finish University in Unilorin? I doubt it cost N200,000. If Awo could do it with the few resources given his region,how much more the Church when tithe& offering is constant.
They can make the fee a little higher than Govt Universities with condition that the pupil+parent must be church members. With that the flock would be full without evangelism.

All na vanity!

They were almost taxing out of the ramp area when she alerted the captain she was on the wrong flight. These caused a big delay but she proceeded to lagos to connect to Abuja since their was no flight that Sunday from PH.

Christianity EtcRe: Bishop David Oyedepo Barred From Entering The UK by igala1(m): 10:46pm On Aug 16, 2014
I have no problems with d proliferation of churches since d 70s. My only problem is the lack of accountability. Only vey few churches publish their financial records. In Nigeria, politics is supported by religious dichotomy where churches being registered as NGOs ought to make public names of its donors to the regulatory authorities to scrutinize their source of income& prevent money laundering, inflation and corruption. It is not only the religiousity of our people that is to blame but the lack of good will to present accounts to the congregants & regulatory bodies that make it possible for some pastors to claim semi-god. The churches/mosques have become equally voked with the Government in the lack of accountability
FamilyRe: Hubby Won't Talk To Me. by igala1(m): 6:23pm On Jan 03, 2014
Bantino: If you offend him, ensure that you appologise accordingly. If the cause of your misunderstanding is not your fault, ignore him for a while, ensure you prepare his food even when he refuses to eat.

If you guys don't have kids yet, wear some skimpy cloths at home, and try so many ways of seducing him without talking to him.

Walk out of the bathroom unclad most times, he may behave as if he's not noticing your moves, just continue. To break him, at night, just pretend to feel cold and tell him to hold you, beleive me, he will gladly hold you and from there one thing leads to another.

When you guys are done making love then you can have a 'brief discussion' with him concerning his attitude, Bleep him after the discussion then sleep off. If you get it right, he will change with time and learn how to talk issues over.
When women feel all they have to offer is sex and nagging. They turn men off. Try and be more respecting. Ask him for a sincere dialogue and be open to address issues maturely, no name calling, be committed to true repentance. It hurts even more when your strategy most times is when you repeatedly hurt him and apologize. He is avoiding you most probably because he doesn't want to hit you. My dear times are hard now. Men too deserve some cuddling after a hard days work. Remember, another woman's poison na another woman food. If you love him you'd keep him at all cost especially if he's a responsible man. They're hard to come by this days
PoliticsRe: Obasanjo Accuses Jonathan Of Promoting Corruption by igala1(m): 6:48pm On Dec 11, 2013
[quote author=funshint]Obj might not be a saint but what he said are very valid. GEJ has been practically silent to corruption. Its gotten so worse that anytime anybody is accused of corruption, some disgruntled aides of the president will turn it into tribal war. During OBJs era a lot of heads rolled due to the anti-curruption campaign of those days starting with people from his region; S.M Afolabi(National I.D card scam), Tafa Balogun(former IG), Bode George(NPA scam), Sunday Einhdero, Chief Babalola&Femi Fani Kayode(former Ministers of Aviation)... Nobody raised alarm of tribal victimization because the Yorubas don't condole corruption even if you're the son of a king but under GEJs administration tribal sentiments has been at its peak when people are accused of corruption esp. from the SE of the country. GEJ only claims to fight corruption on paper. It's even a big dent on the president that he still has someone like Stella Oduah as a cabinet minister after the body of allegations against her. This is thesame President who didn't waste time in removing the Court of Appeal President(Justice Ayo Salami) just because he wasn't working for the interest of his party. Jonathans tenure will go down to be the most corrupt in the history of this country. How did we get here??!! I weep for this country!!![/quote. Nigeria deserves what they voted for. I envisaged this from the beginning knowing he was a Saul, very opportunistic at leadership never prepared for the baton.

PoliticsRe: Presidency Reaches Out To Amaechi, Nyako, Others by igala1(m): 4:56pm On Nov 28, 2013
Let's assume an even division of the political landscape into two equal halves I.e let GEJ take NW,Part of NC,SE and SS then give APC the NW,SW and the other part of NC. Counting the vote per head APC would win by 52-55% considering populations of Lagos and Kano States. Again PDPs fear is beyond GEJ re- contesting. Reasons. 1. If APC wins what shall b d faith of Ex-Presidents&their loot under a Buhari. 2. If GEJ leads this country to division, what shall happen to the common wealth of the cabals I.e the Dangotes, Otedolas, Otudekos, Elumelus,Adenugas who own OPLs in the Niger delta.

PoliticsRe: Rivers Govt Replies Okonji-iweala On Missing $5B From Excess Crude Account by igala1(m): 10:11pm On Nov 23, 2013
Its relatively obvious that only persons with background in finance, accounting and banking would understand the financial risk requiring mitigants we are in. This explains why the government look like "super-human" to the rest "naïve" ones amongst us.
Let me break it down as a layman

Sure P= margin in pump price,current price-old price I.e N97-N65=N32/litre
FAAC=crude oil accruals, I.e sales-expenses,cost of production=unknown
Excess Crude Account-ECA (savings)=margin btw global price- pegged budget estimate($110- $79)/mbpd =$41/mbpd.

What this implies is as follows:
1. If ECA is used to sustain sure-p, where is Sure-P?
2. NNPC, Min Fin,Min Pet and CBN have to give a/c of figures for sales and expenses to configure FAAC.

Here smart accountants can manipulate figures and deceive the un-noticing public.
PoliticsRe: Rivers Govt Replies Okonji-iweala On Missing $5B From Excess Crude Account by igala1(m): 9:27pm On Nov 23, 2013
take dat: Is Amaechi a member of the Jang led NGF? Is Jang elected to govern Nigeria. Each State is a stake holder, Plateau cannot decide for Lagos or Rivers likewise Rivers cannot decide for Plateau. The ECA is not a FG account, it is a Federation Account. The President cannot unilaterally make decisions to deduct from the ECA to augment the shortfall in revenue simply because he is incapable of curbing crude oil theft. The problem is that there is no synergy, and you can't lay the blame solely at the feet of Amaechi, the President himself is guilty.

If you guys want to attack Amaechi, I am less concerned but he raised genuine questions!
Please peeps let's hear the message and not the messenger

PoliticsRe: Aviation Ministry Declares War On Man Who Allegedly Leaked Info On N255m Cars by igala1(m): 9:09pm On Oct 19, 2013
Sincere 9gerian: I thought some propagandists said the cars were bought for N225 million each? What is in that report is N225 million for both. What then is the current market value of the vehicles? Atleast if that is known we'll be able to objectively tell whether the cost was inflated or not.

Now more facts have emerged.
https://www.nairaland.com/1483972/bought-n225m-bulletproof-cars-operations

We know for sure that Tinubu dogs will never accept these explanations. But whether they accept it or not, it is now established that the cars were budgeted for and DUE PROCESS was followed. Those are the MOST IMPORTANT fact.

However, Tinubu internet dogs are free to continue in their lamentations and emotional




seizures, like they've always done from day ONE.

Mayb because Tinubu dogs are so used to Tinubu's corrupt practices, they'r always quick at tagging everything corruption, misappropriation,etc. But now that the FACTS are out, they can take back those terms, which we all know are synonymous with their master, Tinubu. When ever the word corruption is mentioned, the first name that comes to mind is Tinubu. He is the greatest corrupt politician of ALL TIME.

Back to the issue at hand, I think the only term that perfectly describes the act of the minister of aviation in authorizing the purchase of those vehicles is the words used by Oby Ezekwesili. She described it as "obscene luxury". Investing that much in 2 vehicles raises in moral questions. And I think ministers should take into account the realities of our time before taking certain decisions so as not to appear insensitive.

The most annoying part is that he is trying to act the victim and draw sympathy for the ignorant ones like most people on nairaland. The airport he is talking about is almost finished..the east west road starting from akwa ibom to onne is also at its finishing stage. Choba-rumuokuta road he awarded to his God father G.U Ake is in a complete mess, it took him 6yrs to complete that road, same with obiri ikwerre-airport road. The monorail he spent billions of naira on hasn't been completed and its does not cover up to 2 kilometers. Greater portharcourt is just a hoax, he pulled down the old teaching hospital and promised to build a world class sky scrapper (hospital), he spent billions of naira only to find out that the ground wasn't strong enough to hold the structure. He cleared abonnema wharf and promised to turn the place to another London and nothing has been done. There is no single traffic light working in port harcourt. Amaechi spent 6 years trying to build a mall shop rite and refused to complete it because omehia started the project. Rusust the state university went on strike for over a year because Amaechi refused to change the VC his friend even when the students were protesting. The so called health centers with no doctors or the model schools with no teachers, the model school where I live on abuloma road port harcourt, isn't big enough to contain the students, they had to rent a building close by for 8 million a year. He has built new roads and schools but good and feasible are they, the next government will also come and repair or patch or expand the same roads. We choose to accept mediocrity in Nigeria. Amaechi is a thief and I hope he goes to jail. Who is fooling who? Same Amaechi that suspended 7 local government chairmen because they came late to a meeting, same man that supervised the maiming of a honorable member, asked for the suspension of obio akpor lga chairman because he is pro-wike. When the gods want to destroy a man, they first make him mad.

Nigeria is not One,has never been One,and may never be One until a SNC is convened where pressing issues affecting Nigeria's unity will be addressed.
