So unfortunate our footballers can also be victims of insecurity. Izu's pairing with Jamiu Alimi is always a fantastic pairing. He was a no nonsense defender. RIP Izu

Shooting Stars of Ibadan has lost one of their best players, Joseph Izu to the cold hand of death. It was reported that he was hit by a strayed bullet in Bayelsa yesterday.

RIP Izu

Bernie Sanders should have contested as an independent candidate.

Buhari had participated in debate before when GEJ couldn't.

Keneking:
Which means that Buhari has a single term agenda.

He won't be able to participate in this exercise due to age and other issues like submission of certificate before the debates.

Buhari participated in NN24 debate in 2011, alongside Nuhu Ribadu and Shekarau

Oranmiyan has always been a writer I love to read right from his Great Ife days. Great work there.

President Barack Obama has taken a lot of criticism from political opponents over his rhetoric when it comes to terrorism. But on Wednesday at a CNN presidential town hall, he was asked to defend why he refuses to say "Islamic" terrorism to a Gold Star mother.
"My son gave his life for acts of terrorism," audience member Tina Houchins told Obama at the town hall moderated by CNN's Jake Tapper. "Do you still believe that the acts of terrorism are done for the self-proclaimed Islamic religious motive? And if you do, why do you still refuse to use the term ... Islamic terrorist?"
Obama called it a "sort of manufactured" issue.
"There is no doubt, and I've said repeatedly, where we see terrorist organizations like al Qaeda or ISIL -- They have perverted and distorted and tried to claim the mantle of Islam for an excuse for basically barbarism and death," he said.
"These are people who've killed children, killed Muslims, take sex slaves, there's no religious rational that would justify in any way any of the things that they do," he said. "But what I have been careful about when I describe these issues is to make sure that we do not lump these murderers into the billion Muslims that exist around the world, including in this country, who are peaceful, who are responsible, who, in this country, are fellow troops and police officers and fire fighters and teachers and neighbors and friends."
The President compared using the term to if a Christian were a murderer but claiming their religion in their actions.
"If you had an organization that was going around killing and blowing people up and said, 'We're on the vanguard of Christianity.' As a Christian, I'm not going to let them claim my religion and say, 'you're killing for Christ.' I would say, that's ridiculous," Obama said.
"That's not what my religion stands for. Call these folks what they are, which is killers and terrorists," he added.
At one point, Obama said that the danger of using the term is when "a president or people aspiring to become president get loose with this language."
Tapper interjected: "You were clearly talking about the Republican nominee Donald Trump just then --"
"No, I wasn't," Obama said. "It's not unique to the Republican nominee. Look, I'm trying to be careful, we're on a military base, I don't insert partisan politics into this. I think that there have been a number of public figures where you start hearing commentary that is dangerous. Because what it starts doing is it starts dividing us up as Americans."
After the Orlando shootings in June, Trump used the term "radical Islamic terrorism" to describe the motives. It became a topic of the election after he publicly criticized Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for not using the term.

This country is a joke abeg! I don't give a fvck about APC or PDP but anybody who is observant would know that majority of Edo people preferred PDP. You can even tell from the way oshiomole was even campaigning more than the APC candidate. So i am surprised to see APC leading.

so you think election results are determined on Nairaland trend abi

Well deserved.

PDP? Not that party anymore! May God continue to deal with them the way they treated Nigeria for 16years.

I love the fact that the President called for restructuring of the UN. Africa can't continue to be at the back seat in world decision making. But then, do we have what it takes to be a permanent member of the UN security council?

DavSagacity:
Here We go again. Our people are yet to learn from what's happening in the state of Osun . Anyone who wish to wear other clothing different from the School Uniform should go to religious school or establish their own school.

Pls lets stop creating chaos in our elementary schools

So court order should be disobeyed?

Thank God 3SC is out of relegation zone. The best deal 3SC can do next season is to retain coach Gbenga Ogunbote, Ajani Ibrahim, Ojukwu and Sunday Adetunji. We probably need to sign someone of Tope Orelope quality, the man Ifeanyi Ubah F.C signed from us. Also, we need young bloods in the field of play, not the likes of Cletus Itodo, Seun Akinyemi, etc.

Up shooting, up stars!

princechiemekam:
I no trust this people!!! Maybe Buhari don warn d Oga say if him tell Nigerians the truth again na 2 sack am b d next option. ... Just read and pass oo

But you trust them when they said the economy is in recession?

The wailers won't believe NBS on this.

without dropping Carter 5?

victimization is the only weapon in the hand of school managements throughout Nigeria. Akinola Saburi of OAU will tell you more.

adconline:
This number doesn't make sense! Our annual budget under Jonathan was about N4tn per year, so for 5 yrs, aggregate budget would be like N20tn.
So show us how u arrived at N51tn

So income and expenditure are the same abi? N51trillion was earned from crude oil not spent!

Pidggin:
And how much was GEJ using to subsidize the fuel you ingrates were buying for N87 or the Kerosene you were buying for N100? Now you are paying N145 with possible increase any time from now. With endless tax even right down to your bank transactions all going into this govt pocket with no accountability

Obasanjo and Yar'adua no pay subsidy abi?

Those mumu candidates should better start thinking of how to get enough delegates to win the primary election. Before, it was Akeredolu, now it is Abraham.

"Youth Empowerment and Strategic Youth Empowerment". Naija politicians no go kill us.

Wetin Lere and Fayose dey smoke sef?

I vote Vizkiz
Cc: NLJega

Well, by PDP standard, ponmo cutting defines good governance. The worst of Ambode is better than the best of Mimiko and Fayose combined.

I am even wondering how the Willie of a man was rated above Ibikunle Amosun.

Fryzi:
Nothing will happen to Danjuma who killed Ironsi, Fajuyi cos their evil leader is in power. I guess dey would ve long killed d murderer if it were to be an Igbo person. I support Igbos go their own, I never yearn for dis all these time of agitation of Biafra buh now n I stand for it

Bro, get it right. A coup is only illegal when it fails. Once it is successful and you are able to take over power, it becomes legal. That's military for you.

About 70percent of over #500billion raise from the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee in June came from the non-oil sector, the Executive Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service, Mr. Tunde Fowler, has said.
Fowler, who is also the Chairman, Joint Tax Board, was quoted in a Monday report by Economic Confidential as saying, “Of the sum, 70 per cent came from non-oil sources while only 30 per cent came from oil sources. It was the first time in 2016 that the Federal Government shared over N500bn among the three tiers of government during the FAAC meeting.”
“We are proud of the development and we tell ourselves that this is the time to fund the budget of the Federal Government from non-oil sources.

He spoke in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, during a visit by the 36 state chairmen of the State Boards of Internal Revenue to the Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun.
According to Fowler, the FIRS tax revenue collection is a combination of a robust taxpayer registration drive, tax education and engagement through the establishment of the Federal Engagement and Enlightenment Tax Teams.
He said the audit of five key sectors, namely banking and the financial sector, aviation, power, telecoms, and oil & gas had started yielding result.
According to Fowler, the FIRS has added over 700,000 new corporate accounts since he assumed office.
Nigeria, he said, had a cumulative figure of 10 million registered taxpayers if the number of taxpayers of States Boards of Internal Revenue and the FIRS was added.
The FIRS chairman said the JTB had given itself a target to register at least 10 million additional taxpayers by December 31, 2016.
He said, “We have commenced tax enforcement too. We are happy that the efforts of the FIRS in collaboration with revenue stakeholders are already yielding positive result.
He thanked Amosun for approving the FIRS’ request on automated deduction and remittance of Value Added Tax and withholding tax from the point of payments to contractors in the state.
Fowler said, “Pursuant to implementing the collaboration framework, the FIRS requested for an approval of state governors to allow the automation of the process of payments on taxable transactions to enhance the deduction, at source, particularly of withholding tax and Value Added Tax.
“It is important to note and acknowledge that the Ogun state governor was the first to acknowledge and approve the implementation of the process. I thank Senator Ibikunle Amosun for the demonstration of his total support towards our efforts of making the Nigerian tax system efficient.
