I saw a post earlier on a man named "Alhaji Dahiru Mangal" sounds familiar? Well he was a yaradua guy, I ahve heard countless HORIBLE stories about him, the most troubling is somewhat related to the above tread.
He is a known smuggler of contraband mostly from the northern borders especially the kebbi katsina axis, rumor has it that whenever his goods are en route the borders the immigration and custom guys are asked to leave or turn a blind eye to his activities, these type of things is what I hope Change will stop, why should someone be above the law, why should he enjoy certain privileges just because he is mangal.
I suspect mangal might be involved in this case as well

Change is near

Mangal,the ruthless head of an untouchable smuggling mafia.

Boko Haram on Saturday attacked Gombe metropolis, the capital of Gombe State, North-East Nigeria in an attempt to take-over the town.
The insurgents launched an early morning attack on Hina and Dadin Kowa in Yamaltu Deba Local Government Area of the state but were repelled by the military.
They later launched another attack on nearby Zambuk but were again repelled.
At the time one of our correspondents filed this report on Saturday, a fierce battle was going on between the terrorists and men of the Nigerian Army at the 301 Artillery Regiment, Gombe, according to a resident who volunteered information anonymously.
Meanwhile, the sect has sent leaflets to residents in the state, on Saturday, threatening to bomb voters at polling booths in the forthcoming general elections.
The leaflet, which was written in Hausa, was signed by Jama’atu Ahlis Sunnah Lidda’ await Wal Jihad (loosely translated to mean People committed to the propagation of Sunnah and Jihad), also known as Boko Haram. The message, written in Hausa, read, “Anyone who submits himself to Islam should stay far away from the polling booth if he wants to live long, because we shall attack polling booths. Anyone who wants peace should stay away from helping security agents against us, and should stop waging war against us because we do not
touch one unless he touches us.

Members of the National Assembly have vowed to resist any ploy by President Goodluck Jonathan to extend his tenure by six months on the pretext of insecurity.
There has been speculation since the February elections were shifted that the President is on the verge of sending a tenure extension proposal to the National Assembly, using the insecurity in the North-East as an excuse.
However, senators and members of the House of Representatives, in separate interviews withSUNDAY PUNCHon Friday, said the President should bury the rumoured plan.
On Tuesday, the spokesman of the All Progressives Congress in the Senate, Senator Femi Ojudu, had alleged at a forum that Jonathan had tried to get some members of the National Assembly to elongate his tenure, but that he had so far met a brick wall.
He reportedly spoke in Ibadan, Oyo State at a social discourse organised by the Afenifere Renewal Group, held in honour of a former Ekiti State governor, Kayode Fayemi.
He had said, “President Jonathan has been begging us to allow him do two more years but the Yoruba must cry out and also be strategic in their call for change.
“We are resuming in the next one week and the President might likely bring the proposal for the election to be postponed for the next six months or one year.”
But in separate interviews withSUNDAY PUNCH, lawmakers across political parties called on President Jonathan to jettison the idea, if indeed there was such.
APC caucus leader and minority leader of the House, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, dismissed the thought of tenure extension as “baseless and impossible.”
He told one of our correspondents that the idea of tenure extension was strange to him since there were no grounds for it.
“It will not pass; there will be no support for it. There is no point wasting time and energy on that issue,” he said.
The Deputy House Majority Leader, Mr. Leo Ogor, also argued that, tenure extension would not get popular support, and that Jonathan did not have such a plan.
The lawmaker from Delta State added, “Mr. President is running a campaign for his election. What does he need tenure extension for? Is he afraid of elections like the APC, who know they will lose?”
Another lawmaker from Plateau State, Mr. Bitrus Kaze, said members would oppose a tenure extension proposal because the mood of the nation was not prepared for it.
Kaze said, “The mood in the House of Representatives and even the nation right now will not support tenure extension; it will not fly.”
Similarly, a member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance from Imo State, Mr. Eddie Mbadiwe, said any plan to extend the elections by six months would be dead on arrival.
“Nobody will table such a proposal and even if it comes, it will not pass. There is no way anybody will contemplate tenure extension,” he added.
On his part, the Chairman, Senate Committee on National Planning, Senator Barnabas Gemade (APC, Benue North East ), said, “As a democrat who has been the National Chairman of two major political parties in this country in the past, I can never support such an undemocratic arrangement few weeks to a general election that we have been preparing for as a nation for about four years.”
Also, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges, Senator Ayo Akinyelure, (PDP Ondo Central) described the alleged tenure elongation plot as “a fallacy, cheap blackmail and an unwarranted allegation to heat up the polity”
Akinyelure said, “Nobody would bring such bill to the National Assembly except if the person is an enemy of democracy.”
A senator from the South West geo-political zone told one of our correspondents in confidence that the plot was real because there were moves by some members of the red chamber to sell the idea to their colleagues before the current break.
He said, “I can confirm to you that the idea of tenure elongation was sold to some of us before we went on break.”
Other senators who corroborated this view, also on conditions of anonymity, noted the idea might come up when the chambers resume on Tuesday.
One of them said, “The real reasons why the election was shifted by six weeks was probably to perfect the tenure elongation saga by using the National Assembly members who would resume next week Tuesday, to execute the plot.”
The senators, however, vowed to resist any attempt to extend the tenure of the current administration beyond the May 29 handover date.
When contacted, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Information, Media and Public Affairs, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, said it was not true that the President planned to use the Senate to extend his tenure.
Efforts made to get the reaction of the Peoples Democratic Party were not successful. Calls made to its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, indicated that his telephone line was switched off.
Also, the call made to the party’s Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Olisa Metuh did not connect.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan had a grand plan to scuttle the coming elections for fear that if General Muhammadu Buhari(retd) of All Progressives Congress succeeds him, Buhari would send him to jail.
He said this at his Hilltop presidential residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State while talking with journalists. He said he broke his promise not to talk till after the elections because the elections were postponed.
Obasanjo spoke just as Nobel laureate and playwright, Prof. Wole Soyinka, warned President Goodluck Jonathan not to use security agencies to scuttle the current democratic dispensation.
Soyinka’s warning to Jonathan was contained in a letter he sent to one of our correspondents on Saturday.
In another letter that was made public on Saturday, former chairman of the National Population Commission, Chief Festus Odimegwu, called on Jonathan to ensure that the polls were free and fair.
Obasanjo, who just returned from foreign trips, said, “I believe the President’s fear is particularly motivated by whom he sees as his likely successor, that is, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. I believe people would have been telling him that Buhari is a hard man; he will fight corruption and he (Jonathan) may end up in jail if not in the grave. I think people would have told him that sort of thing and he is not the only one afraid of Buhari.”
But Obasanjo said Buhari should have learnt his lessons and might not be contemplating sending people to jail to fight corruption.
“If he has not learnt his lessons, he would be probably the most unlearning human being. Now if he has learnt his lessons, he will know that you do not fight corruption by putting people in jail for 200 years. This was done by my predecessor in office, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar. He recovered over $750m from Abacha’s estate without putting anybody in jail and without harming or hurting anybody.
“When I took over, we recovered over $1.25bn from the same Abacha without hurting anybody and without harming anybody. What is rather unfortunate is the fact that our lawyer who is still alive, who was chasing this money all over the world, said to us that there was still well over $1bn to be recovered from the Abacha estate.”
On the allegation that Jonathan had a grand plan to scuttle the coming polls, Obasanjo likened Jonathan to the former president of Cote d’lvoire, Laurent Gbagbo, who shifted election dates until he believed the odds were in his favour.
Obasanjo said, “President Jonathan has a grand plan to ensure that he wins the election by hook or crook and if he loses, he scuttles it and brings chaos and confusion in the whole country.
“It looks to me that the President is trying to play (Laurent) Gbagbo. Gbagbo was the former President of Cote d’Ivoire and Gbagbo made sure he postponed the election in his country until he was sure he would win and then allowed the election to take place. He got an inconclusive election in the first ballot and I believe this is the sort of thing Nigeria may fall into if I am right in what I observed as the grand plan.
“Then in the run-off, Gbagbo lost with 8 per cent behind (Alassane) Quattara and then refused to hand over. All reasonable persuasion and pleading was rebuffed by him and he unleashed horror in that country until nemesis caught up with him. I believe that we may be seeing the repeat of Gbabgo or what I called Gbagbo saga here in Nigeria, I hope not.”
Obasanjo noted that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, must have been boxed to a corner by the powers that be, before announcing the postponement of the elections.
He recounted how world leaders confronted him over political developments in the country, saying, “I was away because I had a number of assignments abroad which took me to Morocco, Munich, Nairobi, London and New Delhi. Exactly a week today, when we were in Munich for what they called the Munich security conferences annual event, everyone in the security community was there.
“I refused to make any categorical statement on this issue because I wanted to come back home and learn what actually transpired and what was going on, and it turned out to be a forced decision on the INEC, because it was alleged that the security chiefs were unable to provide security and as a result, the Chairman of INEC had to postpone the elections, in accordance with the dictates of the so-called security chiefs.
“For me, that was a bad precedent for democracy in Nigeria. It meant it doesn’t matter what preparation or lack of preparation any electoral body could make in Nigeria, the final decision on whether election will take place on the day scheduled for it lies in the domains of the security, it is a sad day for democracy in Nigeria.”
He said he was worried that President Jonathan had said in his recent media chat that he knew nothing about the postponement of the elections.
“I want to believe that this was forced on them (security chiefs). I want to believe that whether it was forced on them or it was their initiative, it was bad, very bad. I hope we will never have a repeat performance of this in this country again.
“It was even made worse when the President in the media chat on the 11th of this month claimed not to have knowledge or not to have authorised it. I get worried, very worried that if the President of Nigeria is not in charge of security, maintenance of law and order and such a decision can be taken behind him, assuming that it is true, then the President must be reigning and not ruling.”
While puncturing a hole in the excuse of the Boko Haram insurgency as a reason for the postponement, Obasanjo said it remained to be seen how the war against Boko Haram which could not be won since 2009, could be won in six weeks.
Obasanjo also appealed to the two leading political parties, Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress not to heat up the polity.
He said, “I have offered some warnings but let me also offer some appeals and the appeals for me will be for President Goodluck Jonathan. I appeal to him not to do anything to destroy the fledgling democracy that we are enjoying, democracy is not a destination. It is a process and the more we strengthened the process of democracy, the institutions and the factors, the better it is for us.

OREMUSSANCTUS:
D masses luv jona so much!

Ok but make them no postpone the election again ooo

This post was so interesting and encompassing that i can only compare it with reading a james hardley chase novel,an unbiased writeup,well permit me to requote the peoples general (GMB)


“My dear friends, this is very important to note: it doesn’t matter if you are Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw,Hausa, Idoma, Efik, Ikwere, Urhobo, Igala and, no, it doesn’t matter if you are a Christian, Muslim, Animist or Atheist: we need a new direction under a new leadership. The task ahead will be very challenging and daunting, but it is surmountable. This is what leadership is about; my only desire is to prove to you that Nigeria can truly work. Allow me to prove to you that in your lifetime, you can be proud of this country. Let me make you this promise today: we will protect your children; we will protect your wealth. We will make this country work again. This is why i am running for the office of the President of Nigeria. This is my promise.” God bless Nigeria.

I heard dat the edo state governor is a performance based governor.....

Am supposed to ignore this post but i won't,isn't this the reason why the election was postponed?to put fire in all apc states,do i need to be told who paid this hoodlums?protesting and burning tyres on the road just because a particular road was not done,so PDP governors hv done all the roads in their states abi?tinubu is crying foul in Lagos over deployment of soldiers around his house,the truth is that we expect more of this from PDP soon but the bad news is that we ve already made up our mind to march for buhari.this curse of bad leadership must be broken,this time we are getting it right.corruption is the bane of our national development.God bless Nigeria.

Creamz:
Its very clear PDP haven't found a way to rig with this machine so they want to discredit it and make sure it isn't used for the elections. Nigerians are clamouring for change and that change we are clamouring for is inevitable. I can already feel it like the clothes I'm wearing. A Vote for APC will safe guild the future of your children. No sentiments, Buhari is just the best choice for now. March4Buhari

All these rumours flying around that Igbos are being denied their PVC are all baseless lies until one person should come out and prove it that their cards were withheld.

Nonsense!!!

obailala:
The figures are clear for all to see but the government keeps deceiving the masses with colourful economic indices like GDP growth rate and size of economy. Indices that have not affected the common man in any way as poverty keeps increasing and unemployment keeps increasing. The rich are getting richer and the poor and middle class getting poorer.

The reason behind this economic anomaly is simple, CORRUPTION!!! You cannot develop a country without paying a single attention to the prevailing astronomic corruption. Attempting to develop the country with the prevailing lootocracy is like attempting to fetch water with a basket.

There is economic growth today (there has always been) because Nigerian people are naturally hardworking and smart, not necessarily because of any government policy. But even with the economic growth, the wealth isnt spread because the rich steal the moneys and get richer while the poor gets poorer and oppressed. No one wants to be oppressed so Nigerians engage in all sorts of crimes just to make sure they fall on the greener side.

I have absolute confidence that if corruption is 'reduced' (not even eliminated), then the hard working spirit of the typical Nigerian will pay off greatly. I have absolute confidence that in a Buhari presidency, the corruption index will definitely be reduced, and that's all what Nigeria needs to get to the moon.

You can say that again,the whole truth,its a simple logic,the only reason we are supporting GMB.

TheIndependent National Electoral Commission has shifted the general elections earlier scheduled for February 14 and 28 to March 28 and April 11, 2015.
INEC chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, who announced the new dates on Saturday in Abuja after series of meeting with various stakeholders, explained that the Presidential and National Assembly elections would hold on March 28 while the governorship and state Houses of Assembly polls would hold on April 11.
Jega said the commission was empowered by Section 26 (1) of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) to shift national elections due to some factors.
He explained that the postponement followed reports by the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki(retd.), and other service chiefs that their agencies would not be able to guarantee security of INEC personnel in some parts of the country.
Jega denied holding meetings with any opposition figure or the Arewa Consultative Forum to rig election in favour of any candidate, dismissing calls on him by some people from the South-South to resign.

So Jonathan isn't clueless after all. His ability to wield the Army shows he's in control, he's in charge.

You think from ur anus,you re cursed

Promhize:
Shame on you Mr Buhari. What careless statement!

Buhari is 100% right,nigeria the best economy in africa without light,water,good roads,good transportation system,good hospitals,security,poor policing,weak currency,etc,and now nigeria the giant of africa that cannot protect herself,it took the intervention of poor countries that are less than the population of Lagos for us to make progress against boko haram and u criticize buhari for saying the truth?tomorrow if a soldier tells u he bought his uniform u ll say its a lie.there is God ooo.

vega84:
And so? That he attended the yeye meeting wat does it change? Are u saying that the meeting is evil or are u saying that GEJ who is a christian is trying to drag the whole of nigerian into Islam? Fr ur info Mr prof no body can do that even GMB who is a muslim.so we hav out grown that threat. Find another topic aganist GEJ cos this one doesn't hold water.

U don't know what this implies abi?our dear president attending this meeting and being the first president from nigeria ever to attend the oic meeting simply means that our president is endorsing our country as a confirmed islamic state because every other country represented in that meeting is an islamic state.

I don't like people of many words cos in the multitude of words sin is inevitable.

What is impossible with PDP is possible with the APC that am seeing today.

[quote author=engllishmart post=30397543]Ohakim was accused of beating a reverend father and he lost election just because of that. Rochas has now started beating journalists ( this is the 3rd reported case of journalist beating by rochas since november 2014), I trust my rugged press men/women, they would so mercylessly deal with him that when he eventually leaves office later this year it would dawn on him that he can deceive some people(imolites) sometimes, he can deceive some people all the time but he can't deceive all the people all the time [/quot

You re deceiving urself guy,okorocha for second term,why is it that we human beings don't like genuine progress,compare imo of today with imo of yesteryears.support candidate not party.we imolites ll vote for him again.

Jonathan should know that Nigerians are sick and tired of his Government. Only God saves him from being bomb 2dai #VoteBuhari come february 14.

Na so them go deh stone themselves,deh bomb themselves,all in a bid to scuttle election,who wan bomb person weh don lose election finish.
Story for the gods.

This case is a walkover for the GMB squad,no lele.PDP hv just confirmed that they are jittery.

The fear of Buhari is the beginning of wisdom,no stress,buhari is overqualified,GEJ ll do anything to scuttle this election but it won't work.GMB ll have the last laugh come febuhari 14th.
