In life, dont look down on people because years to come they might be powerful than you.

thekingsmen:

political wizardry is all about devide and rule

kennyman2000:
Sorry ooo.. Why is it that, most bus stops or areas in portharcourt always start with RUMU.. U'll hear RUMUKORO,RUMUROLA and now RUMUOMASI... Why pls?

Rumu is same as 'umu' in Igbo which implies Children of. Rumuola (children of Ola, Rumuokwuta (children of Okwuta) etc

Dr. Pauline Baker: How do you intend to approach
the Niger Delta issues with particular reference to
amnesty, bunkering and inclusive development?


Answer:

“President Buhari:
Going by election results, constituencies that gave me 97% can not in all honesty be treated, on some issues, with constituencies that gave me 5%.
I think these are political realities. While, certainly there will be justice for everybody but the people who voted, and made their votes count, they must feel the
government has appreciated the effort they put in
putting the government in place. I think this is
really fair.”

Who is fooling Who? Since the Niger Delta and South East Gave Baba go Slow 5% Vote.

Constituencies That Produce 97% of The Nations Wealth Should Be Allowed to Control Their Resources.

This ur comment is actually one of d most intelligent ones and shd v been in fp.Honestly it appears most ppl didnt listen to d video or didnt understand PMB english. There are two aspects in this issue. One is dat PMB answered off point and d second is dat even in d off point answer he exhibited clear case of vindictveness. Mrs Paulker, as a student in Nigeria for many years was disappointed that d Niger Delta issue was relegated to d bkground during this visit and pointed out to d President that this is a challenge that he was going to face. She wanted our president to tell d world how he will approach it with particular reference to amnesty (whether to continue it or abandon it), bunkering (concrete measures to curb it) and inclusive developmnt of dat region (how he is going to carry dat region along in his govt knowing fully well they never gave him bulk vote). But rather he abandoned d subject matter n went into voting pattern thus 'I hope u hv a copy of d election result (laughs). Naturally constituencies for e.g dat gave me 97% cannot in all honesty be treated on some issues with constituences dat gave me 5%. I think these are political realities'. He continued 'While dia wud be justice , eerybody will get his constitutional right, but while d party in constituency by dia sheer hardwork they made sure dt tgey got dia ppl to vote and to ensure dt dia vote count they must feel dt d govt has appreciated d effort they put in putting d govt in place. I think this is really fair in delivering'. He went on 'By d constitution no state can be excluded .......... and concluded with 'I v made undertaking dt I belong to everybody and belong to nobody. If I come clearly & show & marginalise a certain group bc they didnt vote for me then I v already contradicted myself & I am sure ppl will be too quick to pick dt against me'. PMB by not understanding d question esp d meaning of inclusive govt or devpt even after getting assist from d anchorman exposed his innermost mindset. No talk again about amnesty, oil bunkering or even how to develop d Ss/SE. Pmb has said dat it is only what d constitution guarantees like Ministers dat Niger Delta will get and all others will go only to those dat voted for him. This no doubt has been playing out in all his appointmnts so far.

I must be absolutely honest in my lines here. D moment I started reading this thread I felt this writeup shd v been better done by Barcanista. Suddenly looked up n it was precisely him. Am happy that this guy has consistently been a great critique of d PMB administration with verifiable facts n figures. Keep it up.

k

Was expecting to see d pix of this great woman

To say the least this is just embarrassing.

Nice observation Barca. While most of us might not have problem with whenever PMB chooses to appoint his ministers provided its for d better but comparing it with Obama which has now been faulted calls for concern. If this happens to be a lie, its disgraceful on d part of PMB handlers.

by this time?

Just sure this is not true

Most of d media outfits dat associated Dasuki with these armoured vehicles will never update to make rebuttals and d gullible ones wud v believed what they had earlier read. Apc media outfit and propaganda are like twelve and half a dozen.

One reason they want to kill Radio Biafra

This well thought out govt initiative will surely be misinterpreted. The timing though is suspicious?. Surely Radio Biafra has gotten some listening boost.

soe:
OP....you know your problem?

...I also don't know.....

But something is definitely wrong with you....

Now to your post....What is Yusuf's role in the govt.

It is called a STATE VISIT...The last of it's kind was seen in the days of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa when he visited USA on the invitation of the president (J F Kennedy). Balewa was hosted in the Blair House, exactly where Buhari will be lodged. Unlike other presidents that stay in just any hotel around.

It is different from all other visits presidents make to the USA and you will understand what I mean when you see pictures from tomorrow.

What am I driving at?

It has become the norm of diplomatic practise that the first family visits the first family of the other country (remember that Obama's daughter is ripe for marriage too )...so, usually..it is Mr President and Wife going. I am not going to go down to explain whether or not Aisha is going, but you must know that there is a slot for the first family in every state visit and it is the prerogative of the president to use it or not.

Took time to watch d video and I think am proud of Balewa esp in his outspokenness and recognising d national sensibilities. As far bk as 1961, Balewa had in his entourage great Ibo leaders like Udoji and Wachukwu (as overheared in d video) but in 2015; PMB is visiting America without any Igboman.

jstbeinhonest:
U dnt knw d diff btwn 'pepper' and 'paper' ?

In his rush to hate he forgot his spelling. This idea of wailing wailers on every statemnt against PMB is becoming a pattern pro-PMB should be kiaful about.

discusant:
If he did not intimidate the opposition APC with his position, that's part of how he aided APC opposition to sack his boss and party.

Wrong extrapolation. Only pointed out ur bolded HELPED. He probably meant he provided a level playing ground for everybody.

The same as twelve and half of a dozen.

bigiyaro:
he said he HELPED apc to power. Dats enof.

He never said he helped apc to power anywia in d quoted words of his. That was d reporter's words. Learn to know dat d words in d inverterd commas are d verbatim words by d interviewee. He only meant he never used his position as NSA to intimidate d opposition.

no pixs

It was on Ait 10pm news though without d monolithic repetation of 'Buhari' but he exactly passed those message

lol.

How short lived d op fantasy lasted. Radio Biafra is back on 102.1 fm here in Phc. Also remember Nnamdi Kalu promised to jam d signals of Radio Nigeria

Cannonleo:
kai new una well at all, Morphine which has been in existence since God knows when(end of ww2), used in the Military and i have seen it been applied in Some Hospitals, whats the essence of this Topic

Did u read d post at all. Morphine is an opium steroidal analgesic and its use in Nigeria has been very restricted and only available in some specialist health facilities. Its never available over the counter and its been illegal for Community Pharmacies in Nig to dispense them. No doubt it is a very wonderful pain reliever but being a steroid is prone to some level of dependence n addiction unlike the NSAIDS (the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Just like religion preaches faith n makes u to see happiness in your travails of life so do morphine help those in pain to appear pain-free and hence d popular saying by Karl Max 'Religion is the opium of the masses'. Govt shd do a lot to checkmate d likely abuse of this wonder pill.
