MU HE HE HE

ha! I neva really looked at it frm dat perspective. This northerners r brilliant! If anythng do GEJ now, na North go remain. Oh, i luv my country.

Is anybody watching wats up in d house? PHCN don take my light nd i can neva waste diesel jst because i want 2 watch a bunch of abokis on TV. Sm1 shld start updating us about d deputy speakership war now.

johnie:
They don't want anyone outside the house to impose on them.

What they want is someone who would take care of their 'welfare.'

The same Integrity Group (led by Agoda, Lawan and Gbajabiamila) that sacked Etteh and then came back to apologie to her?
The same 'Integrity' Group that installed Bankole but did not 'agitate' for his removal despite all the allegations against him?

I hope Tambuwal would not end up saying what Bankole said :

Amidst sobs, which made him to abadon his prepared speech, Bankole said he regretted accepting the position of the speaker and that if he had his way, again, he would have rejected the offer. He said: “When Hon. Halim Agoda called me to his house, to inform me that I was to be made speaker and prayed for me, I should have rejected the position.”

IMO, Mulikat should thank God. She would have also got the Etteh treatment!

thats wat politics is all about bro. Personal interest. Bt Bankole is jst deceiving himself. Are u telling me dat if he had been re-elected, he wld nt hv registered his interest in d speakership again? He was jst playing 2 d gallery.

The guy is well loved by all frm wat im seeing. Wil be difficult 2 cal 4 his impeachment except in extreme circumstances.

Tambuwal polls 261 votes out of a possible 360.

Nonesence, so now there is zoning? This house of reps peeps have made ma day chop jona money chop govs money still vote who they want. Yeye country, senseless citizens, na this members get sense pass us< no body impose leader for them

actually, d house of reps have always been a rebelious set of guys as far as PDP is concernd. The senators r more willing 2 abide by d party. Bankole was a product of d integrity group led by dat Farouk Lawan of a man. And now, they'v done it again. I like it tho'. Dnt let any1 impose anythng on u. D senators have rounded up since around 1p.m bt these guys r stil here. I hope there wil nt b anoda electn 4 deputy speaker again or else na 10p.m dem go commot 4 here. There shld b a consensus like it was in d senate.

OFFICIAL: Tambuwal gets 181 votes nd counting. These members sef. Dey won't allow d clerk 2 finish counting b4 they start congratulating d guy. Very rowdy set of legislators.

Muki is actually chewing gum furiously nw. Chewing gum! Na so she 4 dey chew gum ontop our speaker seat? Tambuwal dey smile like goat.

Tambuwal has more than a 100 votes already nd u need a simple majority of 181 votes 2 b elected speaker. i.e half of d 360 members plus 1. Dear Muky stil has less than 20.

Aminu Tambuwal, Aminu Tambuwal, Aminu Tambuwal, Aminu Tambuwal, he's goin 2 get ds. Already has about 30 votes nd counting. Mulikat stil has less than 10.

Funny guys in ds house. Counting like litl children.

Voting over. Counting and sorting now.

House actually came alive wen Tambuwal was called out 2 cast his vote. He was being hailed by his colleagues. He looks likely 2 nick it. 'twld b interesting 2 see which region gets d deputy speakership. Voting is almst over. Taraba state voting nw which leaves jst 2 states.

maga1:
Pls OP and others watching we need update. Thanx

stil voting. Sm members r actually taking a nap. Wil keep u posted.

By denying the SE the rightful position of speaker, OBJ is destroying PDP. Even if the SW eventually gets the position, the person will be so weak with just 3or so PDP members from his region. So he will be clay footed. Let us see how these things will play out.

how can d speakership b d rightful position of d south east. SE already has d SSG and d deputy senate president. Make odas chop small abeg.

Yeah he is bt Bankole is a drowning man. He's got 2 take pple down wit him. Mentioning Gbajabiamila is his way of implicating d whole of ACN since he was d minority leader of d house. It wil b interpreted 2 mean since Gbajabiamila got out of it, he most certainly shared wit oda party members. How can less than 10 pple out of 360 share N10 billion? Bankole shld get proofs jor.

Yeah. 360 pple voting 1 by 1 no be beans. They shld b thru soon though.

T. J.:
Many of them might now vote for Mrs Akande, now that they have been told to put their name, signature and constituency on the ballot paper. They would not want to see the wrath of Mr President

4get it. D ballot wil b destroyd b4 they leave d chambers 2day. They'll make sure of it.

Yeah bt im talkin about d SW as it concerns d political equation in d PDP. As it is nw, dey won't hav any1 in d top 7 positions in government. D president-SS, VP-NW, SSG-SE, Senate President-NC, DSP-SE, Speaker-likely NE, DS-depends on who gets speaker.

Voting stil goin on bt i wonder whether d SW wil b given d deputy speaker if they don't get d speakership. And if they don't, it means they get nothing, no?

Guys, r u seeing wat i'v been seeing 4 some minutes now. I'v always said dat d house of reps is an 'agbero' house. First day nd they r already showing us wat they r made of. Simple nomination of speaker nd d whole house goes berserk. PDP actually wanted Mukailat Akande-Abiola frm d south west bt majority of dem r actually rooting for Tambuwal frm Sokoto state. Where does dat leave d SW in d political situation. Anyway, they r voting rite nw bt wit the applause Tambuwal got earlier, he is likely 2 b d nxt speaker. They actually have calmed down now. Lets just wait nd see. D senate was peaceful devoid of dis rascality i saw moments ago. PDP stil haven't got a grip of its members in d house of reps. Voting in progress.

Obviously, you ability to think is still at the third grader's level.
Gross generalization like you've done here tells us a lot about you and your ability to think. But more than that it it tells us about your education. I admit that It is unimaginably hard to think broadly, to stay conscious and open minded, especially for someone who has a high and utterly baseless impression of himself. I submit here that you are in Nigeria, and schooled in Nigeria, Which means yet another grand cliché about Nigerian graduates being sub-standard/ half baked turns out to be true: your education really has been a waste of your time, a waste of your parents meager resources and a drain on the Nigerian economy.

You should ask for a refund!

i think there r beta ways of passing ur msg witout resorting 2 insult. Seems dat's all u knw hw 2 do. Only on 1 thread nd u'v succeeded in insulting a tribe, run ur mouth at admin, insult another nlander, degrade our institution and paint a picture of urself as an insecure personality. If u'r too irritated 2 be on dis thread, get lost or if u hv 2 say smthng, say it witout insults. Be a man.

hehehehe. Abeg no make lafta kill me 4 hia.

guys, i just bought a techno t9 phone bt d thng is, it doesn't browse. Ths is my first time using a phone dat does nt automatically come configured 4 browsing. I dunno wat 2 do.

guys, why r we floggin ds issue. Osaze just needs 2 apologise 2 d coach nd his oda team mates. Imagine leaving a camp dat stil had a yobo, mikel, taiwo nd d odas. Amongst them, he stil plays in a less important club bt they did nt leave camp. D oda players threatend 2 boycott matches if sia1 did nt sanction osas. If u were d coach, wat wld u hv done? We've always cried 4 discipline in our national team and at last, sm1 is trying 2 instill it bt sm of us r crying. If it is nt done nw, it wil neva be done.

prof.femi:
Isn't it funny that most Nigerians know that the Super Eagles have always had problems with discipline and yet when a coach takes steps to stamp authority on the team, people start talking about "most in-form player".

I have always liked Osaze, and in the past, felt he was the most committed Eagle. I have come to realize recently to my dismay that he has a serious discipline problem.

He cannot try that stuff he pulled with any coach worth his salt: not just (a)leaving camp but (b)broadcasting it on twitter and (c) abusing the coach (d)ON TWITTER!!! Haba. Can you imagine anyone trying this to Ferguson or Mourinho? Or any coach worth his salt?

face it or not, football is all about discipline and teamwork. Great as Messi is, without other Barca players clicking he can't win a match alone.

Osaze needs to learn discipine. Let the coach do his job, and let the rest of us keep our trap shut.

Word. No one is bigger than a country. Osaze shld hv called sia1 nd apologised instead of trying 2 do it thru d media.

isaac promise comes back into d team. Same wit ayila and ejide.

SIASIA: Osaze left camp without informing me.
Odemwingie shld hv called siasia and apologised instead of doing it on d media.
