Buddy, if the man in Aso Rock doesn't step in and your FG actually sits to take MNK's case, I assure you, Nigeria will blown to oblivion. Kenya said there was no extradition order or arrest, but MNK passport shows he was in Kenya. So, what exactly is the case?

Guy, why do you think they have been adjourning the case? Postponing their doom. If extraordinary rendition was allowed, the Fans would've kidnapped Abba Kyari, Julian Assange etc.

There is no pardoning here. You can't pardon a man that did not commit any crime.

I say this:

MAZI NNAMDI OKWU KANU will be released UNCONDITIONALLY.
DSS will pay a huge sum for the treatment they out on him.
Nigeria to lose its little integrity in the eyes of the world.
Nigeria will never allow an Eastern/Southern President.
Biafra will be restored in its entirety through a staggered process!

People don't know that Igbo Leaders have given Buhari and FG an escape route.
The case is a national embarrassment and worse is: same Buhari tried such thing with Umaru Dikko and failed.
The government is jumping at it while pretending to dragging feet.

trutharena:
That’s because Iboland is the parasite of the South.

Accept your fate Shinedu and sell your fanyogo in peace.

Don't take this things to heart bro

I didn't take it serious my dear until our Minister for defense to France and made the speech.
OBJ, GEJ won't take IPOB serious the way this govt is serious about them.
Go and read that speech and get what I'm saying. Or how do you reconcile the comparisons of South East with virtually every state on the IGR and VAT and not education?
Why are mainstream media particular about these areas of comparative advantage against South East?
Think we'll dear.

I've been reading all manner of fabrication, cut and join reports by mainstream media on different sectors of Nigeria. One will be curious to ask: to what end? What does these fabricators tend to gain?
Simple: THE NIGERIA STATE IS TRYING TO DEMARKET SOUTH EAST, IN CASE IF ANY FOREIGN POWER WANTS TO BACK SOUTH EAST IN THE EVENT OF SECESSION STRUGGLE. THEY WANT TO PAINT A PICTURE OF ECONOMICALLY NONVIABLE REGION.
Apart from the above, how can you explain that a zone doing great few years ago suddenly started dying; yet reality on ground still contradicts the recent reports.
I've been to the north.
I've been to the south west and South South.
And I'm from South East.
But in all honesty, Kano, Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Kaduna and Rivers are rich states.
Lagos is no body's mate.
But you see the rest of the states, Anambra and Abia top them in economic activities.
This is a fact we all know until IPOB started pushing for secession.
Why I don't like explaining in details, these indices is because, 85% of non-Igbos have not visited Igbo land. While 75% of Igbos have VISITED other regions.
So I leave naysayers to wallow in their ignorance.
Continue digesting junks from paid newspapers.

No be Kingsley come out which year and what happened to him... I don't know but I feel we Igbos don't love ourselves so much and we aren't truthful enough.

Which one is "we Igbos"? So Orji Kalu is the person Igbos will support to show they love themselves? If I slap you ehnn.

Uzomarrr123:
Now , back to the matter of NIYI , Whitemoney and govt house visit

First things first , I think Niyi should just stay at home and let his wife take care of him, from what I’ve learnt , his wife is the actual bread winner in dia home.

Secondly, his dressing like a convicted thief awaiting trial is just so confusing, if you follow him on Instagram, you will know Niyi is so weird

As for Whitemoney, heard he was given so so and so from actors guild association, Enugu branch…lol…and a fan said he can now go into acting and production of films

I don’t know who is shameless here ,is it “actors guild association” or “Whitemoney”

Now ,I know why JIM IYKE said the nollywood industry is now full of ‘half-baked actors and jokers’ in one of his interviews

Example is that one he fought one time ,he’s name is madu something

I think you're frustrated. I strongly believe there's a problem with you upbringing because you're such a bitter guy.
Only you know who is broke among all the HMs and the rich ones. Yet you're not their bankers.
You must be frustrated going by your takes

This is a fake news

The APC will zone the presidency to the south, there is no way they will also zone the position of the Party Chairman to the South again.

Even though this is a fake news, the APC will never microzone her presidential ticket to the SE Geopolitical zone. Know this and have peace.

On what basis should the APC microzone the party ticket to the South East bro? Don't you know a man like Tinubu that has worked hard for the APC to be what it is today will be unjustly schemed out?

Reason am now abeg.

The PDP should be the ones that will microzone the presidency to the South East.

I'm not against an Igbo man from contesting the APC presidential ticket too.

Without Tinubu ACN, the APC won't have wrestle power from the PDP.

GMB don use the turn of the Northern(North West, North East and North Central) part of Nigeria.

Is going to be the turn of Southern part of Nigeria from May 29 2023.


Obasanjo didn't contest under the APC.

Nobody will stop Tinubu from contesting, even you know this.

He may lose and he may not, but to now say he shouldn't contest in the APC is what I noy possible


Lol

If he is not selfless, He would have contested for the presidential ticket against Buhari.

If he is not selfless, he won't have agreed to step down from the vice president position.

If he is not selfless, he will be asking for the APC presidential ticket to be microzone to the South West instead of Southern Nigeria.

The likes of OUK won't be stop from contesting.

1. The South will have national chairman and to think that you don't know this explains how ignorant you are in politics.

2. Tinubu worked with ACN, just like Ogbonnaya Onuh worked with ANPP. Also you're still a newbie in politics, both historically and otherwise. Onuh was presidential candidate of APP in 1999 and stepped down for Olu Falae. Is that not enough sacrifice to South West? He went to become ANPP chairman and ever since, has been with Buhari. So what role did Tinubu play better than Onuh? His governor is even in APC just like Tinubu. So he has strong points in APC and I strongly believe that his block in APC are making a strong point.

Buhari has used the time of NC and NE but OBJ has used the turn of SW.
So what informed all SW candidates in 1999? Amnesia is dangerous.

Some of you are loud and ignorant and that is the problem with Nigeria. The wise ones are quiet while the loquacious and foolish are everywhere causing trouble. Misrepresenting information because they have the audience. But even a distant look is enough to know how empty they are.
You people think SE doesn't know how to play politics?
Edwin Clark asked you South West: who is the person in your region that compared to Zik? Is it because you brandish 'Biafra' scar to the north and they fall for it.
This time, SE will help you brandish it and the option is left for the north.
Watch out

Is he talking in isolation? He is Igbo too. So if he is good terms with Buhari, why beg more people to join. When they see how Buhari treats him well, others will jump ship

thebosstrevor1:
Or can buba maruwa and ndlea be everyone in igboland.

At the end of the day, you guys will send your terrorist groups to go attack them

And you're someone's child, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, friend? SMH

If you are a keen observer, you will know that the president is literally walking on an egg shell.
#EndSars report is trending
US Secretary of state came visiting
The delisting of Nigeria from religion intolerant country and the Reno petition before ICC.
So the coming of Igbo Leaders is soothing and watch how the president media will maximize that meeting to launder the images of the man.
He will eventually release Nnamdi Kanu, because the case is not looking good for the government.
Kenya has refused to play ball and it's in the public domain.
So the president is relieved.

thebosstrevor1:
So now you need buba marwa

Is that what you understood from the post? SMH

No one should feign ignorant of the Crystal meth drug. It exists and it is deadly.
Also, no one should be unaware of the war against Mkpurummiri in Anambra state.
But what people of good conscience should ask is: where is NDLEA in all these fight.
Where is Buba Marwa in all these?
A responsible body would have milked this opportunity to rid nip drug abuse in the bud.
If NDLEA is not for political settlement, they should have gone to these communities, liase with them to handover these peddlers to NDLEA so they can know if prosecution or rehab will be ideal.
The communities are doing great job, but you can't rule out unprofessional conduct.
What if in the course of flogging these people, someone dies? Yes, those one are confessing on camera, but NDLEA should know what next after the confession.
Or is NDLEA standing aloof because someone is taking their shine?
This is a great concern.

If you're still in doubt as to APC jaundiced leadership working for PDP, then you're not paying attention.
Who is APC national chairman? No one.
Who is the caretaker chairman? A governor
Is this constitutional? No
Is this in the APC constitution? No
Who is empowered to conduct Congress? Chairman or caretaker chairman?
In the eyes of the law, is there any of these? No
Is there a court case on this? Yes
When is it going to be determined? No date
Who instituted this case? Tinubu group.
Is APC empasse a party affairs? According to supreme court, it's no longer a party affairs. Anybody can use the party, even PDP members.
Implications:
Any Congress is a sham. And any sham can't produce candidates.

Prove me wrong

There are many mentally unstable people on this thread.
I suggest a check measure be introduced in this platform to help people recoil when they are veering off the lane.
You continue to see same set of people repeating same thing since July. Or is there robot aid options in nairaland?

benuejosh:
What kind of childish question is that. Well, let me educate you a bit. Won't Ortom be happy if the next governor is from his party PDP? Won't Ortom want to contest for Senate on the platform of PDP? Won't Ortom want to PDP to continue in the state after he goes? Who will do the campaign for PDP in this state? What achievement will PDP tell the people? What will they pin point to the people as evidence of their good works and seek that they elect them.? Oya think for yourself.

What did Buhari pinpoint in 2019? High cost of things? Please go and sit down

TO THOSE WITH VITAL INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT AIRPORT... I WISH TO KNOW WHY THIS AIRPORT HAS NOT STARTED EVEN AFTER ITS COMMISIONING BY THE GOVERNOR OF THAT STATE?. SHALL WE HINDER OUR OWN AS A RESULT OF POLITICS? IS THIS HOW OUR COUNTRY WILL MOVE ON?
PLEASE I NEED VALUE LADEN CONTRIBUTIONS
...PLEASE NO HATE SPEECH.... ONLY THE WAY FORWARD... THANKS...

That airport is not ready. The FG cited security reasons initially, but got defeated on logic and facts.
Also, know that the security reasons are still there and that they government is not friendly to South East. Therefore, it's not going to be easy. In fact, I foresee that airport not opening until after 2023. Imagine the aviation minister has never been there. That's unheard of.
Obiano should also take some blames. He made the airport look like a political tool and those in APC moved politically too.

I've continued to doubt the age and academic qualifications of some of our Yoruba brothers.
Also, one knows the maxim "travelling is part of education" and how valid is this statement.
I am from Anambra state, but in all honesty, no state in Nigeria is as educated as Imo state. No state even comes close.
If you are below 25 mind what you post.
If you're not lettered, be careful not to embarrass your family.
If you haven't left South West, please and please, stop posting about Nigeria because you cannot make sense.
The worst is if you have stayed in Lagos all your life, please stop posting about Nigeria.
Let's be guided please.

We're talking about a group of old people who are supposed to be a repertoire and silo of useful knowledge, experience and wisdom ,but who are largely
wont to talk foolishly and take foolish stand , you are talking about individuals.Have you ever seen Arewa or Afenifere behaving like a pack off senile old fools like your Ohanneze? What good have they brought to you in the Southeast? So if I'm dumb ' you are a total fool like your great grandfathers who constitute Ohanneze.

You dumbo, i just got tired of giving you receipts because your pinhead can't process.
What is the difference between Ohaneze stand and Afenifere stand on national discourse?
Has Afenifere attracted any meaningful thing to Yorubas? The only party the backed, AD died a natural death.
Can you say so about APGA?
Have you seen Afenifere being vocal on Igboho and Ohaneze is on Kanu?
Since Baba Kekere died, who is Afenifere leader? How did he emerge? Unlike Ohaneze that the election was celebrated across Nigeria.
I knew you're dumb, but didn't know it's this unimaginable.

portplus:
Tinubu has already hijacked the APC party structure....
If you know....you know.

On the contrary, he has lost it. Check all the people campaigning for him, they're IDPs in their state chapters.

oyatz:
If you are wise, you ought to have known that it's wrong to assume that every conflict within the APC is caused by Tinubu.


In politics, it's natural to have conflicts and in Nigerian political parties, where people are more interested in their self interests than anything else, conflicts is very common.

All the people you mentioned experienced conflicts in their HOME Chapters of the APC due to clashes of interests with other stakeholders in their home chapters of the party.


Wherever there's a conflict in a party, alignments and re-arrangements of polical players occur naturally. This has nothing to with Tinubu.

The phenomena are the same even in APGA, PDP, Labour Party etc.

Lemme tell you the truth, you are pointlessly pointless

BJanta:
The same North which you've called all manner of terrible names? This is just a pack of frustrated fools.

FFK is a Yoruba and had called north all manner of names.
Does that mean Yoruba have called north all manner of names?
Asari is Ijaw and have called north all manner of names, does that mean Ijaws or South South have called north all of names?
Why are you so dumb?

AtikuNetwork:
If Igbos seriously want the Presidency, then their political leaders need to do more to show their commitment to the Nigeria project. They have to stop giving tacit support to Nnamdi Kanu and his ipob miscreants and terrorists that are creating problems all over the SouthEast. Ipob should also be disbanded and required to join politics as a condition for Kanu's release.

Kanu should also be made to join a major political party, preferably PDP, where he can work with both Northern and Southern patriotic politicians to prove his patriotism and imbibe the democratic process, because I fear his time spent as ipob leader has turned him into an authoritarian and dictator. That's the only solution I see to this issue.

Show me where Atiku condemned Boko Haram from 2010 to 2015.

Tinubu is smart but not wise. He has continued to burn bridges to the detriment of the party. And he's been doing this against foundational members of the party.
He did it to Rochas using Adams Oshiomole via Gulak.
He did it to former Zamfara gov
He did to Ngige in Anambra.
The party is just living on life support and keen observers know this. That is why there seems to be silence in the party.

Pjoko:
Search no further, the battle of 2023 presidencial primaries in APC is between Rotimi Amaechi and Yemi Osinbanjo.

While Tinubu and his South West Loyalists will persuade other Northern prominent politicians to support Osinbanjo,


Buhari and his Northern Cabal [/b]with [b]Amaechi's South South/ South East Loyalists will ensure that Amaechi who has an Igbo Wife Emerges APC flag bearer, to consolidate the South South/ South East Presidency, even as Rotimi Amaechi a former Gov. Of Rivers State (the state with the second largest voting strength in Southern Nigeria after Lagos) has declared in various occasions that, he has Igbo blood in him even if he is not from the South East.


Rotimi Amaechi, a former Speaker 8yrs Rivers State House of Assembly, Gov. 8yrs, Chairman Nigeria's Gov. Forum 8yrs,Second Term Minister of Transportation, has more leadership experience and qualifications than any Southern Politician to lead this country as the President Of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


The truth is, THE Buhari/Amaechi Cabal will defeat Tinubu/Osinbanjo Cabals.

As Power moves to Southern Nigeria, Name one Young Vibrant Politician from Southern Nigeria that has more leadership experience and qualifications with outstanding achievements than Rotimi Amaechi, Name One, I challenge you!??

If you know politics very well, you will understand that: Buhari will want someone loyal to him to replace him and cover his mess.

Buhari and Tinubu are in different camp, and the Buhari camp will ensure it's anointed candidate (Amaechi) wins!!!

Drop your views!!! No quarrel!!!

I see some folks writing off this traction and I laugh. Those that chased away Adams Oshiomole are with Amaechi and they're holding forth in the party right now. Tinubu is smart but not wise. He is burning bridges and the odds are gradually turning against him.

Observation:
Despite not having any governor in South South, I didn't see anyone tell Amaechi that his people hate APC and don't have stake in the party.
But if this was Ngige, Tinubu and Osibanjo boys will remind us that he is Igbo and that they hate APC despite South East having senators, reps and governor.
If hypocrisy is a person..

US Non-Profit Group, GATE, Submits 26-Page Petition To US Govt On State-Sponsored Terrorism In Nigeria
FEATUREDPOLITICS


***Allege Buhari, Uzodinma, Buratai, Malami, Adamu, Bichi, Elrufai, Pantami, Lai Mohammed, Others For Aiding, Abetting Terrorism In Nigeria

***Gives Two-Month Notice To US Secretary Of State To Act, Threatens To Apply For WRIT Of Mandamus If No Action Upon Expiration

IBADAN – In what could be described as a move to salvage the Indigenous Nigerians from the formidable bondages of Terrorists, a United States Based Non-Profit Group, Global Advocates For Terrorism Eradication (GATE), has petitioned the office of the United States Secretary of State, Antony J. Blinke, demanding that the United States Government should designate some Nigerian Government Officials, including President Muhammad Buhari, as Sponsors of Terrorism.



The Group is particularly demanding that the Government of the United States should designate the Nigerian Government as a Sponsor of Terrorism, alleging that “from all available indices, what is happening in Nigeria is State-sponsored Terrorism”.

GATE said its Core objectives are to stop the provision of material support, funding and prosecutorial protection of terrorists by state actors.

In an electronic statement sent to our Correspondent by its Principal Advocate, Robert Berry, the 26-page Petition alleged that the Nigerian govt was sponsoring terrorism by carrying out terrorist activities including training, fundraising, financing, and recruitment of terrorists using the shell of their office as Nigerian Government operatives and Nigeria as a safe haven, transit and operational base for terrorists and terrorist activities.

The organization said that “the Nigerian govt officials have deployed the instrumentality of power and are using the veil of sovereignty in knowingly consenting and with malicious intent allowing and promoting the use of Nigeria as a breeding ground and recruitment nursery for international terrorism activities contrary to foreign relations authorizations act fiscal years 1988 and 1989 (P.L.100 to 204:22 U.S.C 2656f), as amended.”

The letter chronicles numerous terrorist activities that establishes the culpability of the Nigerian govt and her officials. Some of those acts include providing funds to terrorists and terrorist organizations; providing material support including weapons and equipment to terrorists, actively and expressly encouraging and inciting terrorist activities.

Other allegations against the Nigerian Government are prosecutorial protection to terrorists by directly engaging in acts of terrorism and extra judicial killings, using the Nigerian Military, Police and other security agencies.

GATE, in the petition, accused President Muhamadu Buhari, Governor Nasir El-Rufai of kaduna State, former Chief of Army Staff and Current Nigerian Ambassador to Republic of Benin, Tukur Buratai and the Director General of State Services, Yusuf Magaji Bichi of Aiding Terrorism in Nigeria.

Others accused of Terrorism by GATE are former Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, Ministers of Communications, Justice and Information, Isa Pantami, Abubakar Malami and Lai Mohammed respectively, amongst others.

GATE accuses Buhari of executing a global Jihadist agenda that is comparable, if not more insidious, than the Taliban of Afghanistan, urging the US Government to kick start the statutory process and legal instruments of holding the Nigerian Government Officials accountable for their high crimes of sponsoring international terrorism.

The Group gave a notice of two-month deadline to the United States Government, warning that “if at the expiration of the two months deadline, and the designation is not made, GATE will proceed to the Federal Court in United States to apply for a Writ of Mandamus to compel the United States Secretary of State to issue the designation in line with the provisions of Law”


GATE opined that US Government designating Nigerian officials as sponsors of terrorism will have far reaching legal implications, including potentially arrest and criminal prosecution in a Federal US court if they visit the country.

Let's get something right. If you want to analyze a model, even with biased mind, try not to sound stupid.
North West has 7 states and the raked in N79.1B
South East has 5 states and the raked in N52B
North East has 6 states but raked in N42B
North Central including Abuja is 7 states and raked in N133B, while Abuja alone raked N69.1B. Now minus Abuja' s figure, North Central raked N64.2B.
This north central figure underlined what Lagos is to South West. But ostrich won't agree.
So you didn't have issues with the performances of 6 and 7 states against 5 states, but think 5 states are parasites.
You must be from South West. I'm not surprised.
Just yesterday, your Lagos senator, Olamilekan moved in the house that since crude oil have been found in Ogun, Bauchi, Osun, they should belong to NDDC. But he deliberately excluded Anambra who has been given oil producing status, simply because the state is in the East.
Your penchant to attach yourselves to north against South East is ridiculous. Because, this is a zone you all think has nothing to offer. But will need community effort to fight them, if I'm a contest of numbers.
Let's go back.
We're you not shocked Osun have more IGR than Anambra? Why? What are the economic indicators that validate this claim?
Currently, we know Osun is preparing to go to poll and the governor must be in the news for good reason. These are PR stunts.
Because, nothing on ground shows Osun is financially stronger than Anambra, even when Anambra is Osun creditor. Yes, Osun pays Anambra ROI every month. Go figure that.
On the part of Anambra, the governor under reported the IGR because he is working on the airport and international conference center. And he always said "I didn't borrow for these projects ". He actually didn't borrow, but meddled with the state IGR when the finance got depleted.
You may not agree with me. But I'm telling because I know.
Finally, South East zone is a peculiar zone. What works in South West will not work in South East. No wonder with little IGR, salaries are paid and massive projects are executed.
So face your wonderful region where the game is: the more you look the less you see.

if you know the plan of those that chased away Adams Oshiomole, then you will know why Tinubu and Osibanjo supporters are restless.
In 2023, it's either a South Eastern president or South South Igbo man.
Mark it down.
