GOOD... WHY DIDN'T BUBU RESPECT THE CONSTITUTION AND FOLLOW DUE PROCESS BY FORWARDING IT TO NJC, AND IF NJC DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THEN I WOULD HAVE SUPPORTED HIS MOVE... WILL THEIR MOVE NOT END IN CHESS GAME NOW

I don't wanna have to state history that just happened in our very own eyes. Look, the NJC was incapacitated when Onnoghen was still CJN. He suspended their statutory meeting indefinitely. That was probably the trigger warning needed for the FG to stop playing nice.

blackboy2star:
MY OPINION NOT YOURS... IF ITS NOT A GAME TELL US YOUR OWN OPINION...

That's the point of having a constitution. There are laws already in place so that people wouldn't present their personal opinions when it suits them.

What is fair is what they would have used to judge me, you and any other ordinary Nigerian if it were us in that position. We don't have NBA criminals to plead for "soft landing" for us, why should the Ex CJN have?

berylLOL:
5/10 is veryy generous. I had such high hopes for the nonsense.

Haha it's actually 8.8/10 on ...

berylLOL:
Abeg stop talking plenty. The haunting of hillhouse was a snoozefest. Great storyline but boring delivery.

Haha, what do you expect? For them to start chasing ghosts with swords and guns to make it lively?

Well, if we all like the same things what are we? Robots?

blackboy2star:
MY TAKE - FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD RESCIND HIS DECISION THEN Onnoghen SHOULD RESIGN IMMEDIATELY AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD SEIZE THE SAID FUND AND NO PROSECUTION.

THAT'S FAIR PLAY TO ME

Fair play you say? What a shame. Do you think this is a game? A corrupt Judge tries to abuse office, if he's caught, he returns back what was stolen. Otherwise he keeps his loot. Man get your principle right.

If what I read here is true and Vice President Osibanjo is willing to even discuss "soft Landing" terms with his Boss, President Buhari, he has lost 30% of the respect I have for him.

What the fu.c.k is wrong with this fuc.king people? Some Bunch of fu.ckers and criminal lawyers could assemble themselves to discuss, and negotiate terms for a corrupt Judge to avoid prosecution and nothing will happen? His he the Chief Justice of Nigeria or the NBA?

A thief should be disgraced. Whether he's from the north like Dasuki or from the south like Onnoghen. A thief should be disgraced.

Kai, we're Fuc.ked is this country I swear.

shugacoated:
respect his opinion..

Of course I do. Hope it didn't come across as if I don't?

shoyemiayodeji:
Hunting of the hill house is 5/10. An average series

I hope wayne is worth it

The fact you didn't like it or feel it doesn't make it average.

There are many indices that are considered before a rating is given to films, some are glaring while others we're not too concerned about.

At least, the story was above average and the performance of the cast was nothing short of phenomenal, including the bunch of brilliant child actors.

truthfulparrot:
Very soon Buhari will realized that those who are playing the drums for him to dance the steps of the gods are his worst enemies.

History has consistently shown that the best way to make powerful and stubborn tyrants to fall is to massage their ego and mislead them into making costly mistakes that will consume them. I supported Buhari in 2015 because I thought he will use his boldness and stubbornness in a positive way by crushing Boko Harram and using the rule of law to deal with corrupt politicians in APC and PDP who stole our common wealth.

I knew in 2015 that PMB does not have the required knowledge about diplomacy and economy, but I thought he will employ the best hands in respective of tribes and religions to manage the economy and other aspect of his government.

But I was disappointed that he eventually surrounded himself with corrupt politicians in PDP and APC. The most annoying thing is PMB's selective fight against corruption.
What PMB failed to realised is that the corrupt politicians in APC and PDP are afraid of his second term because they know he will not have anything at stake in his second term. They know he will eventually come for them. That is why they are taking advantage of his lack of exposure to mislead him so that he will fall out of favour with international community. It seemed they are succeeding.

In the case of CJN, if I am PMB, I would have thoroughly investigated him, leaked the details of the investigation to the press and then refer him to NJC for neccessary actions. I will put so much pressure on NJC using public opinion that the NJC will not have any other option than to sack him.

If the NJC decides to play funny, I will write to the National Assembly with evidence asking for the suspension of the CJN. If PMB had followed this path, he would have gain the support of most Nigerians and the international community.

I still believe that PMB is not corrupt. But like GEJ, he is allowing corruption to thrive. He is not in charge of his government.

When I read how Nigerians Youths are busy cursing themselves on nairaland because of ATIKU and PMB, I wonder what the future will be for Nigeria. Why can't we support fresh breed of politician?

Hey, I'm actually not too happy with the way Buhari dealt with the CJN but I recognized it is the ONLY WAY to remove that man from there.

Your strategy for getting the public to pressure the NJC is only meaningful if Nigerians generally give a damn about their reputation. But they don't.

Lemme ask you, are you aware that the CJN had already postponed the NJC council meeting on his case indefinitely before he was ousted?

Besides, how can you expect justice from a body (NJC) that majority of the members are hand picked by justice Onnoghen?

This is a man who had admitted in writing that he forgot to declare his monies, but looking for every avenue to frustrate his trial altogether. How can somebody like that be trusted to hear cases further or expect to allow the NJC operate with free hands while hearing his case.

This matter could have gotten to the Supreme Court and Justice Onnoghen would head other Justices to hear the case against himself.

Richdad50:
Just a digress........ Who cursed the South to make Unity unattainable. No Northern decent will ever allow this level of ridicule on their own CJN. Not one. Do you think a Hausa/Fulani CJN will ever be disgraced in this fashion? Not in the future. Do you know Walter is the first southern CJN in 35years? So you think past CJNs never had one issue or the other. I feel for south. I weep for them.

#Richdad

Yes, I know past CJNs never had issues because nobody claim to find them with millions of forgotten, undeclared monies in their account. You should be ashamed of yourself for identifying with an "ignorant CJN" because he comes from your region. What a shame that the first CJN from the south south has to be remembered as the one who forget "his stash in standard chartered bank"

Modified: you'd do well to change your signature every now and then because people are beginning to identify senselessness with it.

NaijaRoyalty:
I'm loving these.

Nigerians are really speaking in one voice over this unconstitutional move by buhari

We can't fold our hands and watch Buhari destroy our country because it belongs to all of us .

Exclude me among your lots. A compromised judge who forgets he has millions in undeclared assets is just as dangerous as the person you are happy to paint Buhari as.

There's nothing remarkable about him to warrant the "ignorant one" staying a day longer than necessary in that position.

The way I see it, the CJN was already exploiting the loopholes in the constitution to prevent his trial altogether while still remaining the "Honorable Chief Justice of Nigeria." Buhari only played the same game by exploiting loopholes.

Nigerians can interpret the constitution all they want. The fact is that the suspended judge will not be in office while they do so.

The fact is, southern Nigeria is the most corrupt region with touts, heartless, and barbaric humans who would happily do the unthinkable to persons accused of stealing bread. Our governors are the most corrupt politicians in Nigeria and yet we worship them. You can imagine the huge allocation they get from FG and yet some of the states cannot pay civil servants their monthly peanuts

You see people idolizing a corrupt and convicted felon like Ibori like it is an achievement to abuse office.

They want to start bombing pipeline? They can go ahead. Reduced oil sale doesn't reduce a penny from even a local government chairman's pockets talk less of Buhari.

When everyone eventually comes to their senses, you'll be the one asking for another Ogoni-styled cleanup on your lands.

Our leaders may be selfish, but we at least deserve them.

SolutionMee:


After interrogating few Nigerians early this month back home, I have this confidence that Atiku will defeat Buhari with a wide margin.

Let APC keep deceiving and consoling themselves with mammoth crowd. Reality will soon set on them like it did in Osun and Ekiti election.

Rigging won't be able to help them this time because it is the collective decision of Nigerians to revive their country.

Some Nigerians that I questioned made it known to me that Buhari can never get reelected. They told me that if he comes to their state for campaign, they will attend his campaign rally with full pretence of joy, happiness and support for the incumbent. They claimed that they will behave themselves by pretentiously hating PDP temporarily just to get the token they need from the ruling party before casting their vote against him come February 16.

Information getting to me also prove that more than half of Nigerians want to work with INEC during the election. Electorates are now potential INEC staff. Poverty is real in Nigeria. People exaggeratedly talked about this little pay as if it can provide a lasting solution to the financial problems of their lives.

Buhari will always garner a mammoth crowd of people during all his campaign rally. He's already using poverty as an oppressing weapon to win the votes of the electorates. Poor people don't have choice and freedom of rejection. They're like slaves. They will always do the bidding of their oppressors. Wickedness is when you joyfully surround yourself with a thousand poor men.

Next month, I strongly believe that many Nigerians will remember all that they passed through throughout the regime of this man and follow their heart. They'll take a decisive step by going to the polling booth They will make the right decision when casting their vote. They will prove Sowore wrong that they're no longer in love with their oppressors. They will humiliate the incumbent and his supporters at the poll.

Nigeria will be great again.
God bless my motherland.
God bless Nigeria.

This guy has a fantastic coping mechanism in the face of defeat. Atiku should take a leave from your page.

hush15:
Lemme further your gospel jare, i use to have my issues with Obj till he came for the christ embassy crossover service. i heard him speak passionately about africa, he was very eloquent, still full of energy and understood that this man has strong affiliation across africa. All he communicated that night was not from any book or written speech but from hos deep. The whole arena got up and was applauding him. and i wondered, this man sha... that night, i realized that no matter what i thought about him, i must give to obj that which belongs to obj which is the respect he deserves. At his age and with his affluence, he is a nothing to loose so he say and does it as it is.

Back to politics, For Obj to support Atiku to Buhari as at today should gives an idea of the bigger threat. And let no man make any mistake, that man is very formidable. He is a man that pursue thing passionately. He will see to it. The only thing that needs to be done is to ensure a free and credible election and am sure the persuasion of foreign allies would increasingly ensure that.

Bro, I cannot really disagree with what you said in your first paragraph because it's merely a position you took after witnessing OBJ speak in a religious gathering. He knows so much about African politics, he's exposed internationally and he's a good orator, and many more.

But OBJ is an ELITE. And as all things Elite, they only resonate in the Elite World. He's who can help navigate Atiku's candidacy in Elite world. He can help Atiku win Party tickets, broker peace deals and meetings, sneak Atiku into the US, get Atiku to address the AU, get Buhari to dine with Atiku, But Obasanjo can never get Nigerians to dine with Atiku because he's not, and never was a local politician

How's OBJ going to influence people in Otta farm vote Atiku talk less of people in the north? Obasanjo can support whomever he pleases. He didn't make Jonathan lose the 2015 elections. He didn't make Buhari Win. It's better to have his support don't get me wrong. But Obasanjo cannot make or Mar the Chances of either Buhari or Atiku to be frank because he cannot influence even his immediate family to follow his cue.

I'm hoping for a free and credible elections too. However, It's obvious you can never get the free and fair elections you're praying for because you believe Atiku losing is not a possibility.

Well, it looks like a lot of people will be demystified after February 16 elections.

I really don't know what Obasanjo's ego is really telling him. Personally, I think he's one of those people who you can describe as been loathe at home but revered away from home. He has been able to maintain a good rapport with the elites in this country and the international community over the years but has no relationship, none whatsoever, with the common man in the streets.

He wants to lobby for Atiku abroad? How's that going to increase his acceptance here in Nigeria?

princemillla:
After someone will come here and start shouting as if na all the mammoth crowd get pvc.

Many will come to see what buhari looks like for the first time
Many will come to steal
Many will come to see gov himself
Many will come to market
Many will come to find wife/hubysband
Many will stroll down out of joblessness
Many will come do aproko
Many belongs to opposition there to see how useless party are.


I refused to believe in rally crowd.

What do you believe in then?

All the people who will come to Buhari and Atiku's rally combined wouldn't amount to the number of votes either of them will score eventually. Both will surely surpass that number.

But the rally turnout is still a credible measure of a candidates popularity. If you disagree with that, how many people do you thing would attend Moghalu, Only or Sowore's rally in some of this state?

Nigeria, the land where you'll find the most I'll mannered set of people in the world.

That guy who took that picture is a kid and fool.

Haha. Buhari played a fast one.

Atiku, forget debate. The real battle is on 16 February. Let's see how you perform then.

SaiAtikuTill203:
‘’The trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership, there is nothing basically wrong with the Nigerian character, there is nothing wrong with Nigerian land or climate or water or air or anything else’’

We have leadership problems like you rightly said. However, we definitely have character problems as well.

Kingosytex:
they are suspecting that the CJN isn working for the opposition i.e PDP, so APC is determined to bring him down by hook, book or crook

Na APC tell the man make e no declare bank accounts way him dey by himself deposit money for him asset declaration forms?

The people of this country is a joke, they defy the definition of logic.

On with Atiku on this. I hate to see the words "youth" or "young" being thrown about like they have a magic wand to solve our problem.

I will never vote for any candidate because he/she is younger/older than the other. There are many young leaders in the National Assembly and I haven't heard any been commended because of their outstanding leadership.

Hopefully, we'll get to the stage where our politicians can talk us into voting for them. I'm afraid, we are not there yet.

So no, I'm not going to be voting base on what any of them will say today.

Ironically, the two which are most likely to win the election are not participating (Buhari or Atiku).
Both of them are already old horses who cannot be taught new tricks. Both of them are already leopards who cannot change their spots. Both already have a reputation which precedes them. Hence, I will be voting based on that reputation.

RTSC:
The only people that can hold a moral high ground are the poor candidates that will attend the debate today.
They are the real heroes.

If you are a supporter of buhari, the president that ran from debate, then you don't know what is wrong with you yet.

I 100% percent support your position in your first paragraph. No doubt only them can claim the moral high ground.

For what it's worth, Atiku has every right to condemn Buhari for skipping the debate. But for him to claim Buhari's action is a lack of respect and himself follow Buhari's path thereby showing the same lack of respect for the other candidates is nothing short of the characteristics of a man whose own moral compass fluctuates like that of a lost ship captain looking for directions in the middle of the sea. In essence, Atiku himself lacks principle and the character to do the right things because it is the right thing to do.

I may not know what's wrong with me as you claim but Atiku is the one contesting for president and you best bother yourself with what's wrong with him I think.

Going by the reactions through the comments I've read here ( of which most are clearly from PDP supporters ) I think prof Sagay's claim Atiku and the rest are political dwarfs has been justified.

Mind you, he didn't say educational or intellectual dwarfs oh, Before you come for me . Just political dwarfs.

Ironically, Atiku feels insulted by Buhari Staying away but sees nothing wrong in himself doing exactly the same thing: calling Ezekwesili, Fela Durotoye, and Moghalu his POLITICAL DWARFS.

90% percent of the comments here are commending Atiku for his insensitive position on the debate and not worrying about the other candidates.

Truth is, most Nigerians, whether educated or not are generally selfish, uncultured, insensitive, narrow-minded and above all, an unnecessary proud human being who thinks he/she is the best thing since sliced bread.

KoiceReloaded:
That's just the thing. The 2nd season is not as bad as critics made it out to be, it simply didn't stack up to the awesome season 1, that's all. And let's face it, only a handful of tv shows would fare well against the first season of True Detective.

Absolutely. I didn't realize people felt the second season of True Detective fell below expectations. After the storyline and performances of the two leads, especially Mathew McConaughey, anything after it was bound to fall short.

I enjoyed season two no doubt. I taught the leads were terricfic. Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams and the other guy.

Olamyyde:
I don't know why i never liked true detective. The first 3 episodes were so boring to me.

Once I see any highly rated series, if it ain't start slow, it's gonna be wack really quick.

True Detective is not for everyone. Like myself, I haven't found any comedy series worth watching, besides big little lies. And that's if that qualifies as comedy.

KoiceReloaded:
The Netflix show finished filming just last month (December 2018), thus going by tv marketing rule, the return date should be around April-June 2019... or September-October 2019 if they were to follow in the footsteps of season 1.

April? Okay we wait.

Besides, real quality takes time. Mindhunter is real quality.

Movie Title: The Visit

https://blog.irokotv.com/wp-content/growth-img-folds/2016/04/TheVisit_FB_Banner_Master.jpg

Year: 2016

Cast: Nse-Ikpe Etim, Blossom Chukwujekwu, Femi Jacobs, Bhaira Mcwizu

Genre: Drama

Industry: Nollywood

Time: 2h 21m

Plot:

Two exrremely different couples who share a compound, are brought together in unlikely circumstances. In the process, secrets are uncovered and they learn more of each other in the space of one day


Review

This is one Nigerian movie I can recommend for anyone. There are so many good things to take away from this movie.

Let me start with the storyline, believe it or not, this movie had just four characters. You would wonder what four people could do in two hours, but they did far more than what a 20-man cast could ever accomplish. The story of a perfect couple, clashing with a dysfunctional couple isn't very familiar in Nollywood. Even more, what were the odds that the perfect couple would end up being the actual nutjobs and the nutjobs would turn out to be far better? I liked the spin of it all, I especially liked the whole idea of not judging a book by its cover, because the entire idea which was gotten at the beginning was turned on its head by the end.
This story was set in ONE location. 80% of it shot in one house and somehow, they made it work, both the cast and the producers.
Nse-Ikpe Etim shone, as always, playing the role of Ajiri, the crazy, nympho, marijuana-smoking wife of Lanre (Chukwujekwu), an equally crazy guy who happens to be a struggling music producer. Femi Jacobs was equally brilliant as Chidi, the somewhat caged husband of Eugenia, a perceived Stepford wife, who turned out to be anything but.

There were so many right things about this movie that it was hard to find the wrongs. It's 2 hours of your life, you will not regret wasting. The high points were rib-cracking and jaw-dropping and the cliffhanger in the end, was just right. While it gave room for more, it wasn't a frustrating end.
I would recommend The Visit for any lover of good movies, it is best watched when you have nothing else to go to and I can promise, there will be no regrets


Rating: 7/10

Play/Trowey: Definitely Play

Haha haha � haha wow!

I've watched this movie. Only that it's not your version. The version I watched was titled Carnage and starred Christopher Waltz, Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, and John C. Reilly.

And yes, my version was a 2011 American movie and even if I don't know when this oddly similar 4 people-cast Nigerian version was released, Nigerian filmmakers penchant for (poor) imitation means there's only one possible answer.

Even though you did a terrific job with the review, I'll pass. My Nollywood hiatus is not ending anything soon I guess

Wow! @LegitGirl

For what it's worth, I'm so so sorry for what happened and reading about your experience makes me cringe. I definitely don't like to see people in difficult situation mentally or emotionally.

Your mistake sounds like one I myself would make. Oh God. It's very possible something like this will happen to good people. Unfortunately, if it does, we are at the mercies of those who would judge the situation.

It's perfectly understandable that you were hurt and felt the supermarket could have showed more understanding going by your initial write up. But I want to assure you that they dealt with it maturely. It could have been worse.

I dread things like this believe me sister. It would definitely shatter and mess with my head for weeks.

I know you're strong and tough. And now, you're the more wiser.

Shampoo77:
This man is not a professor but a tout. If you feel the law is not good the go to the national assembly and reammend the constitution instead of behaving like rascal.

awuf2008:
This man Sagay or whatever must either be drunk or hallucinating.

I'm pretty sure this utterances would more likely come from touts or drunks. OR, what do you say folks?

bixton:
The NJC is the CJN.
So who will they present the evidence to?

The NJC is a council of which the CJN is a member(chairman) along with some others, most of which was appointed by him ( CJN ).

You should read my last paragraph carefully again. I'm sure you would discover I clearly said that the FG shouldn't expect to get justice but expose the charade of the Legal System in Nigeria.
