Lol. Two can play the game.

He will be losing big time
How long will he continue financing this from his personal pocket? He is not recognized by the State institutions & can't make any valid decision. There is an appeal & stay of execution on judgement already. He is just going about this the wrong way. Same way he fell out with Oshiomhole. If only he was calculative enough, he wouldn't have disrespected oshiomhole, that is the confusion he is facing now.

TopBanter:
It is in context to where it was was used in this case. I.e an NASS session like, for example,UK's parliamentary seating.

Akpabio should have instructed her to recognize where she is and make efforts to follow the recognised decorum of the red chamber always.

He just sounded authoritarian and out of touch with his nightclub reference.

The truth is that Akpabio has a history of inappropriate talk. He is not sophisticated. That’s the bottom line and you cannot suddenly gain that at his age.

He simply has to be managed as long as he is dispatching his main duty correctly which is to guide the conduct of the Senate progressively and productively to the glory of Nigeria.

He sounded authoritarian because he is the senate president! What are u saying? Is it because he was talking to a female? How were u expecting him to sound? A senate president is the leader of the house & have authority over every member during plenary. He has the right to caution & correct any member so far he is not using any swear word on them. Nightclub is just like a beer parlour where anything goes, there are no rules, that's the point akpabio was trying to make & u guys are blowing it out of proportion. If he had said this to male senator, u guys wouldn't be saying this.

WINDSOW:
You do not understand words.
Akpabio described her attitude as such found among nightclubbers. He could have used a subtle element to correct her instead of personifying her with a 'nightclub'.
Only if you grew up in Southwest or lived with an aged parent.

Nightclub is just like a beer parlour, where anything goes. Nightclubbers don't follow protocol, they do as they like. That was what apkabio meant.

spiceadole:
He definitely wouldn't have responded to a male senator in that manner.

So,I'm totally right

Or do Nigerian men have regards for women?

Yes @bold
You are wrong for thinking that way, he only corrected her & the woman even realized her mistake & apologized.

WINDSOW:
And she managed it beautifully. I expect her to hit him big at any other session, if he publicly goofed. Let's wait & see.

Hit him big because of correcting her?
You guys are blowing this out of proportion. Nightclub is not a vulgar or despicable word.

aylipple:
Only a misogynist like SP Akpabio could've made & gotten away with that statement. Even more appalling is the fact that fellow female Senators present in the chamber (although very few in number) couldn't stand up in defence of their colleague.
If a male Senator had made the same oversight Senator Natasha made, he wouldn't have brought "night club" into the conversation.

What are u saying?
Nightclub is not a vulgar or despicable word. The woman even realized her mistake & apologized. Why are u making it seem like the senate president used some swear words on her?

cococandy:
He wouldn’t say that to a man.
These are examples of misogyny that we talk about but people wanna be daft and say we love being victims

The bold is not true. A man wouldn't make any difference. This got nothing to do with misogyny. The only reason the senate president won't say such to any member is if u are one of his cronies, be it man or woman.

[quote author=Chimarto post=131023409][/quote]This is wrong!
You guys are funny
U mean someone earning 105k will now be earning 244k? Lol

How many months is left to election that shaibu is even wasting his time? It will be more easier for the head of a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for Obaseki to allow shaibu be his deputy again. Shaibu ought to have known this

Instead of these labour leaders to fight for fuel price reduction they are wasting time on minimum wage. This amount will solve nothing & only benefit a few as compared to reduction in fuel price

Tflex01:
All fans/worshippers/followers/supporters of Nigerian politicians are evil supporters. Your own "saint" that lose today can win tomorrow and others will call him evil too.

Binance, Bybit, OKX, Kucoin (in some provinces) Huobi are all banned in Canada due to similar regulatory issues but guys still dey run stuffs.

Voting in election is a democratic right of every adult and trying to victimize others (by whatever means) because of their democratic choice is another form of evil.

I will stop here for now but if we decide to derail this thread by converting it to another politics section, I foresee a "closed thread" very soon.

Gracias.

What are u saying?? How does his post victimized anyone? If your choice of leadership is affecting me, u don't think I have right to complain?? Are u the only one buying fuel for 750? Am I not buying it? Why are u telling him not to complain for the decision u made that is affecting everyone? Fuel is now selling for #750 & u don't want people to complain? The choice of candidate u vote today will affect another person tomorrow & that person have the right to criticize your choice if he is not meeting up to expectation. Samething u also have the right to do if that person choice of candidate is not performing well. The govt is failing across every aspect! Abi u no dey go market? How much is price of food?

Naira has crashed to 1600 per dollar? Fuel is increasing on daily basis, was that what they promised us? Even the cryppto the youths are managing they are making difficult & u don't want people to complain? All the benefits Canadian citizens are benefiting, are we Nigerians benefiting it that u are comparing us to Canada?

VinnyBaba:
This Bill if passed, is Far BETTER than Local govt Autonomy and New National anthem.

It means DULLLARDS like Buhari and Overhyped MISFITS like Tinibu WON'T rule for 8 yrs.

No!
If this bill is passed now, it means tinubu will rule for another 6 years making a total of 10 years. There is no way they will pass the bill & rule him out when he is already preparing for second tenure, he will not assent to it.

ignis:
Nigeria court can drag case for long unnecessary.

Exactly!
I just pray we will have a president that will have the will to put an end to it. All these judges & magistrates are the problem of this country. They are too lazy doing nothing & earning free pay. If u see the number of cases awaiting trial u will be shocked. These judges are heartless. Dragging one case forever.

Remman:
Always want to blame others for their own hand made problems. Hunger is in the world. Na US send you to go put tax on poor people? You think say na 9ja wey Tinubu wan use tax reduce our purchasing power. Come, Nigeria is very rich o, no use our eyes dey sleep.

Don't mind him
African leaders are always looking for whom to blame for their own mistakes.

Akinpresident:
He's forcing people to see him as a rich man. So it's not surprising that someone has to petition him to prove this his riches.

God bless u for the bold. I thought I was the only one.

Nemesis0147:
Pride and show off will bring many people down in this life.
I wish him all the best though.

After this I honestly think blord should go for special deliverance from spirit of show off. I have never seen anyone so obsessed with show off!

Moroccoguy:
250k per 1 jeep.

If u drive u won't ask this question
250k may not even be enough with current price of fuel. It's a V8 engine bro & from Abuja to east. To & fro?

ableguy:
I was about saying this, the focus should be on cutting down numbers of vehicles in the convoys, fueling those vehicles and drivers welfare and other small small expenses no be beans.
The economy is messed up that 1.5 million is no big money, you can't even get a Nigerian used car with tha amount again.

Exactly!
Anyone that drives knows 1.5m is nothing fueling 6 cars of V8 engines. All these their SUVs are mostly V8. They should cut down number of cars. A women minister ideally don't need more than 2 cars. Security & personal use finish!

AAAA67:
Why are the complaining ?
That's the situation they ve gotten the country to.
An average citizen doesn't drives his car around anymore.
Rather prefers to join public transport.
I agree with her on the field issue

Very true @bold
It's been long I drove a long distance. It was no longer making sense. Imagine fueling your car with 40k & it won't even take u anywhere. Most people these days only drive car within their neighborhood or to church on Sundays. I really don't know how taxi drivers are making profits this period. Fuel price is crazy!

ZIAZI:
This man would have made a fine president. I just admire his lifestyle.

He would have made a very good president because he is intelligent. APC denied Nigerians such a rare opportunity by not fielding him as their candidate.

This govt should do something about fuel price! Haba. They should bring it below #250.

iLegendd:
From the Trump's assassination prophesy that was posted 4 months ago on YouTube, a 40+ minute video, the man talked about " economic crash" and I know or FEEL it will happen in late 2025.

This man's prophecy on Trump assassination attempt is scary So precise & accurate! Omoh

dumahi:
May not be what you think. My experience is that the ladies who find it most difficult to marry are some of the best behaved. And the society creates many of the problems like high bride prices, etc.

Not all of them were well behaved oh
Some are well behaved because they have now experienced life & now see things differently. They are just like some of us men that didn't understand why our parents didn't built mansions, but only got to understand after graduation. Life taught them, not that they were well behaved. Higher percentage of old single ladies were unreasonably selective during their prime!

Atlantis585:
Dummy, so only the few remaining demented Republicans he has not insulted with his filthy mouth and alienated are enough to make him President?

I am an American Independent and I vote - but it won’t be for him.

What am I even doing arguing with this non-entity this morning?

Bye!

He doesn't need your worthless vote to become America next president. You hate Trump, deal with it & stop projecting your hate on the whole America! Your hate got nothing on him. You should be more concerned about your miserable life instead of putting so much energy on hating another human.

Atlantis585:
When you manage to crawl out of your hut in your village and find a way to migrate and become an American citizen then you will know better.

For now just hush!

Americans are not as dumb as you and others hyping up Trump. You will soon find out.

Enough lectures from an American to someone who doesn’t know any better.

Now I’m off to a great day at work.

You are the dumb person here!
See this animal? Are u an America citizen??
Why would u hate someone this much to the extent of wishing him death? Someone u have never met & will never meet? Only Democrats don't get to decide who wins if u don't know. Republicans are rooting for trump & he is going to be America's next president!

bnanny:
Hey Musk be logical You're Maga boy. You should you know this was stage by trump maga camp to swing the winning to trump.

People alerted the police and secrets service about guy on black with raffle on the rooftop but they never care to react, this is not how America securities work. It's fishing this is stage to swing votes to Trump. Let him explain what happened for real and let all those involved face justice of America no-nonsense system.

You are very senseless!
Is Trump the president that America security will be working for him to the extent of allowing trump use them for such Stunt?? Instead of blaming the incompetence on the Security, u are still finding a way to blame Trump that just survived the assassination. Do u hate him that much to wish him death?? The manner & extent someone of u haters can go is unbelievable!

Osolo1:
Just a simple thought,the gun man should have had a silencer on his rifle right,why were they loud bangs before the bullet reached Trump. I strongly believe something doesn't add up here.

Something would have only added up if Trump had died right?? Since he survived it something is not adding up? The guy who carried out the assassination is a perfect human & couldn't have made any mistake right? Even if u don't like Trump, u shouldn't wish him death & u should be happy he survived. You people take this hate thing too far

Atlantis585:
Your statement that convicted criminal Trump will be president again smacks of complete ignorance. When the elections come around, you will see why Americans are different - they don’t tolerate criminality. But you will be forgiven given that you are neither a stakeholder nor do you the ability to cast a vote in an American election. For now, just focus on your Nigerian problems.

Which Americans??😂
Stop dragging Americans into your nonsense hate! Even sane democrats are already wishing him quick recovery, here u are hoping he had died? Hopeless thing! With this failed assassination attempt, Trump is winning the election. You can mark this post!

Atlantis585:
I will take Tinubu a million times over dunce Buhari. He dug the hole Tinubu finds himself in today. May Buhari never happen to Nigeria or Trump in America again.

God forbid!

The ability to wriggle out of a difficult situation is what makes one a smart person! Go & study about Fidel Castro of Cuba. Anyone that keeps blaming others for his mistakes have nothing upstairs. If buhari govt was bad, terming this govt bad is an understatement. If the kitchen is too hot for u, get out & allow those that can handle the heat fix it! There is no way Biden administration is better than that of Trump! We all know if Trump was in power, this Ukraine & Russia war would never had happened in the first place! You & a few Democrats hate trump, why do u come here to say Trump is hated in America?? Your hate for him has blinded u so much that u now wish him dead?? He is going to be the next president!

Atlantis585:
Does that 15% include your types who have never stepped away from your village? Do you know how hated trump is in America? Have you asked why Americans rejected him during the last election? Americans are not as stupid as Nigerians in choosing a reject who is also a convicted criminal to be their president.

Same way a lot of Nigerians wished for buhari to leave power, but I can tell u today if u give them an option to bring back buhari, they will gladly accept him back. Voting out trump didn't mean they made the right decision! You are the one that hate him & not Americans! Do u mean republicans hate him too?? How is this current administration any better than that of trump??

otherway:
If you believe that was not staged then you must be very gullible.

How can they make attempt on your life and you still have time cheering the crowd and asking for your shoes.

There will always be puns and casualties in the games these politicians play.

That sound was not even a proper gun sound. Pop pop pop.. Sounded more like pellets.

Now compare the reaction of trump here in 2016 when there was just a mention of gun in the crowd to a presumed assassination attempt yesterday.

Trump is very desperate and will do anything to get back to the oval office.

Unfortunately, the suspected shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks is dead and dead men don't talk. He was probably an unfortunate pun.

Think about it. Even an amateur sniper won't be hunted down so fast and the guy was even a registered Republican... Does that tell you something?

See wetin u dey write untop say person escape assassination? Some of u people take this hate thing too far & u wonder why your lives are miserable? What if it was not planned & he died? That would have made u happy right? Someone survived an assassination attempt, u should thank God for his life, even if u don't like him. Na so all of una come out to say junior pope death was a prank till he later died, I guess u people were happy after his death. See what u are writing as if u were the one that planned the whole thing? U are not even an American citizen, I don't know where this unwarranted hate is coming from. Get a life pls

dominique:
So he planned for a sniper to shoot at him such that the bullet would miss his skull by a fraction of an inch? As much as I find the shooting shady, no sharp shooter ever misses his target there's no way he would want to take such risk to prove a point.

Even the sharpest of shooters can miss target.
There was body movement & he wasn't static.
I don't know how anyone would even think this is staged when former US fire chief Corey lost his life. Na so una hate Trump? U guys should take it easy with the hate.

Anyone saying this is staged clearly means they are not happy he survived & wished he had died.
