2. Modern city train system/service(London), overground not underground. Underground maybe too expensive/extreme for us.

I thought GEJ already provided that...at least according to claims emanating from a segment of your country.

Have you seen a black jew before? Olodo!

Have you ever seen a white Jew, foolish black man?

Are Israelites black or white? This is what you first need to ask yourself.

And you think those u find today in the Middle East are the original Israelites? Or you think they're white for that matter?

lonelyvoiz:
I support Saraki

What is happening now is corruption fighting back against Saraki and this is what happens whenever power sector probe by the NASS is initiated.

Under declaration of assets is not much a crime compared to over declaration with intent to loot afterward and secondly under declaration of assets can be an oversight.

My verdict: CCB should have contacted Saraki according to the law to enquire if it was an oversight before charging him to court.

You are not normal.

And we were out in the cold guarding the pope.
A whole president of a country made it late to meeting the pope.

Nigerians, enjoy your dullard president.

Black man, HOW HAS THE POPE BENEFITTED YOU AND YOUR FATHERS BEFORE YOU?!

Danjuma827:
As a northerner and a true Nigerian I respect this man a lot. But when it comes to the issue of being equal this man has not yet exercised it. Does he mean that his cabinent will be only for those that voter him in? No wonder I see why biafrans are being disturbed because of this act. Baba please be an equalist

If you're not qualified, then you're not qualified. Tribe doesn't matter.

Tallesty1:
listen bro, It is a thing of joy to have steady power supply in your house (though some places are in still in 24hrs uninterrupted total black out) but honestly, the credit for the improved power supply and working refineries should be given to GEJ.

I don't care how corrupt he is but truth must be said............

Jonathan planted many seeds in Nigeria and for Nigerians, and the improved power supply and working refineries are eg of some the good works of Jonathan that has begun to bear good fruit.

You need to read the article and stop being steewpid. It talks about people like you.

LadyExcellency:
You are despicable, the most conscience-less fellow who possesses no conscience of his own than that of his paymaster. Tambuwal anti-party activities were noble by your definition but can't be tolerated in APC? Why do you people glorify despotic tendencies in a democracy?

Go and wane yourself of obdurate hypocrisy before calling someone a bigot.

You need a moment of self reflection just like the prodigal son in the bible.

Stop being Tinubu's slave and develop the mind of your own and thus decifer good and evil.

Gosh

Gradually, I have come to believe that your people are the biggest supporters of corruption in Nigeria.

Whynotthetruth:
Hmmm...Did I say that bro?

I only reiterated the joy of having my freedom whereby there's NO godfather to dictate to me what to do even when its against my conscience...Aren't godfathers holding sway in most parts of the country outside SE today...So how is my joy misplaced?

Aren't the actors in this drama here ALL APC... Why can't they be allowed as adults to support whomever they like or buy his idea so far it is within same party ...Isn't NASS supposed to be elected officials affairs devoid of interference by outside forces like Tinubu here?...What's impunity, corruption, godfatherism and imposition if not this

Why do Ibo people like confusion, division and unhappiness in general?

OrlandoOwoh:
It's disturbing how people shout witch-hunting! when politicians are standing trial.

Nigerians are insane.

TonyeBarcanista:
I am 100% in support of the FG's prosecution of Senate President Olubukola Saraki over the allegations levelled against him that borders on falsification of his assets that he declared before the Code of Conduct Bureau in 2003. I believe that people should be held responsible for their actions. However, the ongoing trials of Saraki has exposed the hypocrisy and insincerity of President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the All Progressive Congress.

The Insincerity and Hypocrisy of Buhari
Following the Saraki event may make one be FOOLED into believing that 'Buhari mean business'. The fact on ground is that 'Buhari has just been exposed as an insincere and double-faced leader.

On Sunday, 20 September, Buhari through his spokesman Shehu Garba came out to say the President will not intervene in this Saraki's travails because he has sworn to allow judicial process take its course. In the exact words of Shehu;

The government that made this statement is the same government that killed the judicial process with respect to the N2.8 billion corruption suit that was instituted against exBayelsa state Governor and APC Chieftain Timpre Sylva by withdrawing the charges against the accused which was instituted in 2012 and prosecuted by EFCC. The Sylva case was withdrawn on June 1, 2015 ie three days after Buhari took office as president. This was even to the amazement of the EFCC prosecutor, who bluntly told the Judge that the EFCC was not part of the Justice Ministry's decision http://www.punchng.com/news/fg-withdraws-n2-45bn-fraud-suit-against-sylva-efcc-kicks/ . The withdrawal of that suit paved way for the striking out of similar suit against Sylva by another judge. Today, Sylva is not only free but he's set to pick APC ticket for Bayelsa state governorship contest. Who is the President trying to deceive?

Is it not the same President Buhari through spokesman Femi Adesina that said he will only probe Jonathan's administration and won't go pre-Jonathan's era because he considers it to be "far past"? Didn't Femi Adesina utter these words on July 22?

Obasanjo left power on May 29, 2007 but will not be probed because he belongs to the "far past", while Saraki is being prosecuted with all vigour for offence he allegedly committed in 2003. Which is farther between 2003 (Saraki) and 2007(Obasanjo)? Does that tell sincerity on the part of Buhari?

The Insincerity and Hypocrisy of Osinbajo and APC
It was a surprise that Alhaji Lai Muhammed and other APC chieftains joined the chorus to urge Saraki to appear before the Code of Conduct Tribunal to clear his name. People may be fooled into believing that these APC men means business. But do they?

When ex-CBN Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was indicted for fraud by Financial Reporting Council in March 2014, instead of telling him to respond to the allegation, VP Yemi Osinbajo, Dr. Kanyinsola Ajayi and Kola Awodien approached the court in April 2014 to restrain the FRC, FG and other security agencies from investigating and prosecuting Sanusi. http://www.theguardianmobile.com/readNewsItem1.php?nid=24587. Their prayers were granted by FHC Judge John Tshoho on May 13, 2014. In the words of the Judge...

They shielded Sanusi and NEVER asked him to defend his allegations. Today Sanusi is a monarch.

When Atiku Abubakar was indicted by the Senate and the government of Obasanjo on allegation of financial misappropriation of PTDF fund in 2006/2007 (www.saharareporters.com/2007/02/28/breaking-news-ptdf-scandal-senate-indicts-obj-atiku-impeachment-motion-looms), didn't Lai Muhammed the spokesman of AC(as at 2006) defended him and cried witch-hunt while forgeting issues? Didn't they go ahead to give Atiku the AC flag for 2007 Presidential election? Was Garba Shehu not Atiku's spokesman as at then? Why didn't they tell him to face the allegation? Who is fooling who?

The same Lai Muhammed as spokesman of ACN cried that the FG wanted to use the Code of Conduct Tribunal to silent Tinubu when they arraigned him in 2012. In fact, ALL ACN Governors abandoned governance in their states to accompany "Jagaban" to Abuja all through the trial. When did these men turn anticorruption apostles?

Before Murtala Nyako was impeached in July 2014 on allegation of Corruption, APC Governors, Chieftains and even Chairman Oyegun did not talk about the offence but were accusing Jonathan of witch-hunt. In fact John Oyegun said this

Take a look at them boldened, the same people are telling Saraki to answer to 2003 offence. Is that not hypocrisy? Pa Audu Abubakar is currently facing charges that borders on corruption, but the APC never told him to face his offence. Instead, they rewarded him with party ticket for Kogi Gov'ship poll.

Be not be deceived into believing that the APC and Buhari are ready to fight corruption. Senator Saraki is being prosecuted because APC and Buhari want to seek political vendetta. If Saraki was their ally, he won't be prosecuted.

Finally, Saraki MUST answer to his offence before the Code of Conduct tribunal but President Buhari and the All Progressive Congress must understand that Nigerians see through their insincerity, deception and hypocrisy.



May God Bless Us All

You need to be hung from the highest tree in your land and your body fed to wolves, hyenas and vultures while you're still gasping for your last breath because you are a traitor. You hate your country.

For your info, technically Mr.Saraki committed the said offenses years ago(fraud embezzlement of Govt funds etc), in reality the offense he's being charge with were committed very recently i.e falsification of Assets Declaration. But you wouldn't know that because you're a dolt.

atbu1983:
Tha last time i checked Saraki is more of Yoruba, Fulani and Hausa than he is Igbo. why should u Igbo want to die Hausa/Fulani u claim killed 3 million igbo in 1967.

Same way they supported GEJ and the Niger Delta...people that want nothing to do with them.

They want Nigeria destroyed.

fr3do:
Why is this dude over patronizing the Apc?
Why should he be so concerned about Saraki?
Has Saraki done things that will disfavour the SE?

Has he done things that'll favor the SE?

Gboliwe:
It gives me so much joy too.

You foo*l, these are the people determined to have you in perpetual servitude so that their kids can reign over you!

Fooooooooooooolllllll!!!!!!

Tearg1:
Hey nairalandera, some selfish forces are trying to covert our democracy for their own benefit. We must kick against them by fire by force.

Let's remain United and stand firm with our independently minded Senate President at this time of trial.....


Saraki is here to STAY......TINUBU CAN GO TO HELL WITH HIS FROG EYES...

Show me one person in your entire lineage thats ever been worth a "mere" N1Billion...

Now go check Mr.Saraki and his spouse's Networth.

Nigerians need total re-engineering of their faculties, Im convinced.

Aso Rock is not Jerusalem or Mecca. Your ignorant African Preachers that dont even know the tenets of the religion the white man force fed them should find somewhere else outside of the seat of office to ply their business of confusion. They should be ashamed of themselves.

The ignorance of Nigerians is really mind boggling when you realize that no Muslim is contesting this race. I doubt a Muslim has ever been a major contender for the presidency. But, you can't tell Nigerians that when all their brain can cull up is religion and tribal affiliations.

Kindly mention a name we can relate with
except you want to tell me that the savages
who destroyed the native American population
were puritan christians, then Christianity must be the real
definition of evil.

Stop believing everything you are told in Sunday school.

You are trying to teach Africans American history, you've got a better chance teaching a Rottweiler how to tap dance.

atlwireles:
America is a western democracy, Islamist don't separate their religion and politics. So, Ben Carson has a very valid point. Even here in Nigeria, Islamist are not prepared to live under a non moslem president.

Talk about what you know. We're not brainless savages over here.

charix:
This story is like the biblical endtimes that is screamed from the high heavens yet refuses to take place. Laughing out loud at the steady insinuations.

Also, didn't read. Lol.


Come to think of it, I'd try and skim through half of the page to get an idea.

ROFLMAO me too!

Curlieweed:
@op Mr Manchy7531,

You missed the bigger point of the articles. I don't think it's a question of Igbo being intellectually superior, it's a rebuttal of the genetic basis for IQ score differences between the "races" propounded by certain Eurocentric scientists to explain both the lower levels of socio-economic development in Africa and the persistent relatively lower levels of socio-economic achievements especially among African Americans. The articles make a case for the environmental basis for IQ score differentials.

Plus the OP is an id*iot, he put up an article about the U.S , but the chart he posted is about England.

cassimere:
The UAE is an empire built on the doctrine of Islam, it is the religion that holds them together. The USA on the other hand is built on democratic principles and institutions. Does one's religion preclude him from holding public offices in a democracy? I don't think so.

I don't think a country like the United State should concern itself with its President's religion; afterall they're the ones championing the concept of a 'free-state'.

For the purpose of the election, I think Ben Carson's sentiment on this issue is a blunder. His position just like his stance on homo-sexuality in the US is clouded by his deep-christian religious outlook; He's obviously not ready to govern a complex entity like the United States.

You are talking to Africans---Nigerians--- that only know how to vote based on tribal affiliations and Religious beliefs. They probably don't understand half of what you put up there.

SenseiX:
The two leading Republican candidates, Donald Trump and Ben Carson are really railing against immigration and Muslims and the party's grassroots base is rallying behind them. If the GOP gets into power next year, it's going to be awkward for foreigners in the

Maybe...just maybe, You want to stick to your local African brand of politics.

peleson:
Nnamdi Azikiwe! He fought for it and got it not only that, he got nigeria independence

And his idiocy, ignorance and greed got Nigeria to where it is today.

ROFLMAOOOOOO

Look at the folk from the most populous black Nation on earth--- INSTEAD OF PICKING UP A BOOK AND LOOKING AT THE RACE DYNAMICS OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED THERE AT THAT TIME--- being the first to say:

"How the hell is Jesus black, Jesus had to have been white".

African blacks, led by Nigerians, are the dumbest, most ignorant, low self esteemed clowns in the Universe.

Tkester:
Sensationalism is just the hallmark of APc.

Assuming without conceding that Saraki is guilty as charged, how will his prosecution bring about the turn around we have always yearned for in Nigeria.
Sometimes I feel this govt is lacking in vision and strategy, no economic policy, no single policy direction, after 100 days of governance, yet all they do is to pick fight they will not win.

I'm also thinking that this Sarikigate is a ploy to pass on the inefficiency in this administration to the Senate leadership. We know that Saraki will most certainly fight back, because he's got the support of the PDP senators, so when he starts fighting back, it will be a case of the senate frustrating the efforts of the president - I want us also at that time to remember that Buhari started this dirty war game. As is in any democracy the executive branch will most certainly want to have a normal working relationship with the legislative.

Yes, let them "Fight Back". And, each one that rears his ugly head indirectly telling us "Please remember me", his/her file would be immediately dusted up and and even if the financial irregularity included purchasing just a grain of rice with Govt funds they will be promptly charged, arrested, prosecuted and banished from Politics forever after their conviction.

Let the games begin.

Mogidi:
The same govt fighting Saraki for corruption intends sending corruption personified Amaechi to Saraki's senate for clearance to be "noise maker".
This illegality won't be allowed to stand, Nigeria is not a banana republic yet.

You need to be hung from a tree. You're a traitor to your country. All your posts make it glaringly clear that you intend your cou.try to fail.

BishopMagic:
You are right thanks.

Let me edit the tittle

You might want to edit the bolded too.

Im interested in knowing what part of Nigeria the author of the article is from.

Balkan:
Please would like know why Yorubas derive pleasure in misdirecting strangers? A friend of my was coming to my house on Sunday and was very close to my street, he now asked one Yoruba elderly woman for direction only for the woman to send him miles back that he has long passed the street. Meanwhile the guy was almost on ther street, which the old woman knows.

Are there no honest Yoruba people again? This is bad before God and man. I had once been a victim. I don't know who to trust.

Is there any reason for this kind of character?

It's just a "Big City" attitude problem. Its Global. Go to any big city and ask for directions and you're likely to get misdirected. Your best bet is ask someone else after walking for 1 min, then another after another minute just to be certain if not you'll end up taking an unintended tour of the city. It's like they don't know how to say "I don't know".
