GCI!

sulad82i:
Amatus Quoque Ameris

That's GCI!

Did GEJ visit Lagos today?

They've started sharing again?

PDP is the only truly national party in Nigeria.

DickDastardly:
I can hear Jona laughing

They said the man is clueless?

Me sef dey laff

You expect us to read that?

There's a reason paragraphs are used.

Double post

TheAdvocate:
That's Senator Binta Mercy Garba (Chief whip) from Adamawa state APC

Have they elected oither principal officers?

Who will whip the Chief Whip who goes against party directives?

anonimi:
My main problem with the 16 years of APC administration in Lagos is they have their priorities completely wrong- focusing on the shiny WOW things while the basic, common place items such as education, health, water and roads are not duly addressed.

Meanwhile I thought Lagos STATE is the state of excellence, I hope I did not get that wrong

Are you suggesting that providing fire hydrants (even if not in all locations) is a "wow" project?

Anyone whose life or property is saved using those hydrants will never agree with you.

Hustoto:
Fashola would be a good choice for chief of staff.

From Tinubu's Chief Of Staff he became governor so can extrapolate that after becoming PMB's COS he would ...

Would have loved to compare this with a photo of Tinubu and Remi's frowning faces last night.

APC still dey accept members?

Gavel:
You're welcome. Only the EFCC can answer that. But I think its pure ineptitude.

I am suggesting that it is deliberate.

Nyako's case to follow.

akins56:
Saraki might be the biggest loser, though he his the biggest winner currently, but we all know his biggest ambition is to be the nations number 1, he might have dent this ambition with his desperate moves in past few days

I think saraki might have won now, but he just make his chance of becoming Nigeria's president in the future more difficult!

Gbam!

The same "over ambition" that did Tinubu in will come back and haunt Saraki when the time comes.

There is a point where over-ambition/desperation gets you to that you become bad market.

Atiku's desperation took him to Action Congress and later back to PDP and he became bad market!

Ribadu's desperation took him to CAN and later PDP and he became bad market.

Odili's over ambition has led to his "early retirement"

Tinubu and co sowed the wind and have begun to reap the whirlwind.

Saraki's time will come!

BTW
I think Atiku had a major hand in Saraki's victory as payback for Action Congress' treachery in 2007- they surreptitiously supported Yar Adua.

It was the same thing they did to Ribadu in 2011.

In 2011, they gave Bafarawa and one other candidate assurances that they would get the ticket only to draft Ribadu in. The same Ribadu suffered treachery in their hands during the elections.

anonimi:
I hope you will agree that 16 years of supposedly progressive APC administration should have produced much more progress than this. Not so

I agree more could have been done but we should be objective and commend any good initiative.

I doubt that fire hydrants exist outside Lagos.

Gavel:
Guys, I implore you to read the news article and properly digest it. It says the court dismissed the criminal charge for "abuse of court process." Now, a criminal charge (and indeed any case at all) is said to be an abuse of court process if it is instituted and amounts to an annoying, frivolous or vexatious act. The best paradigm of an abuse of court process is if a charge or case is duplicated before a court of different courts on the same issue and seeking the same reliefs. Where this happens, the court is duty-bound, even suo motu (on its own) to strike out or dismiss the case for amounting to an abuse of court process. I believe the EFCC should be blamed here for bringing multiple charges on the same alleged offences. The EFCC should put its house in order and stop bungling criminal prosecutions.

Thanks for the explanation but do you think EFCC's action is not deliberate?

misterchris:
Those of you shouting 'Buhari has killed me'.... The Execu'thieves' is different from the Judi'sharing'.Buhari is no judge!

Is Buhari the head of the Execut'hieves?'

anonimi:
I thought we are talking about Lagos STATE. I did not realise the governor's RESPONSIBILITY is limited to the metropolis.

Brilliant!

Anonimi, I deliberately used the word 'metropolis.'

Like I said 'I know they are not all over but as time goes on I expect more.

I have seen them in various places where roads have been rebuilt.'

I expect that as more areas are properly rebuilt the hydrant network will spread.

anonimi:
With no TAP water all over the state

Na which kind foolish person dey start build im house from the roof?

APC is about useless change!

This is not true!

The last administration installed fire hydrants in various parts of the metropolis. I know they are not all over but as time goes on I expect more.

I have seen them in various places where roads have been rebuilt.

I even saw one at Ebute Metta this morning.

On this one, I commend APC!

nationwide1:
You see why Jonathan is a true hero?

I was just about to post this!

Cossette:
I don't know why but I find the words "muttering some words to the senate president in a low tone" so funny, it sounds like all these gangster movies and remi tinubu looks so gentle

Gentle?

Maybe in those photoshopped pictures.

You should watch her. "muttering some words to the Obanikoro at the senate in a low tone"

Firefire:

There was drama when Remi, wife of Bola Tinubu, refused to shake hands with Saraki after her swearing-in on Wednesday morning, leaving his hand hanging and muttering some words to the senate president in a low tone.

Shey people used to complain about PEJ?

Did you see the Remi's drama at the Senate when Obanikoro appeared for screening on his 'second coming' after the Ekiti debacle?

Watch the video clip and you wouldn't be surprised about this one.

ZeezaRapture:
please what's the meaning of 'PS'

Post Script.

A short remark or message added to the bottom of a letter after you have signed your name, usually introduced by the abbreviation PS.

utumunta:
The only way APC can avert what is coming to them is to work the new leadership of NASS.

Some of you don't really know what played out at NASS. Atiku Abubakar ensured that what happened did happen in the Senate with the help of the PDP Senators.

It is time Buhari jettisons the idea of Amaechi as the SGF or he has succeeded in handing over his Government to 'the enemies within'. His best bet is Ogbonnaya Onu, who shall be a stabilising force.

There is already a gang-up against Buhari, in a bid to control him. Tinubu too is not working for Buhari. He is rather working to cage Buhari.

You are right.

Npdp and Tinubu camps are working to cage Buhari.

Onu is his best and safest bet.

I think Okorocha has another candidate though.

vatoman:
Johnie meant that having put in so much (in terms of his contributions in the house) in the past 16 years ought to have conferred some form of eligibility on Gbajabiamila to become the speaker. Even though it didn't happen that way eventually. Is that too difficult to understand? I wonder how you passed English in WAEC [color=#006600][/color]

Thank you for explaining to them!

Maybe it is the use of the word 'right' that confused them.

allycat:
She is the daughter of Otunba Adekunle Ojora one of Nigerias original rich men.

And anyone who understands the dynamics between Ojora and Tinubu will know the impact of Saraki's victory (over Tinubu).

I won't say more than that!

Bolade005:
Mr Saraki, see where Atiku's over-ambition has led him, the best he can be is to be a party leader but he can Never be Nigeria's president. Do not follow in his footstep.

If you keep going this way, I fear your political future is Bleak.

Saraki will never be president of Nigeria. This is his last bus stop.

He will end up as a "party leader" like Atiku and Tinubu!

Which party?

Watch this space!

Talk about being paid in your own coin.
I wonder what role Gbaja will play in the HOR after this.

He had put in so much in the last 16 years or so. By right he ought to be speaker.

But then, that's life and politics for you!

You win some, you lose some.

PS
I hope he does not go into oblivion like Hon Wunmi Bewaji, another young Turk who came in blazing like him.

samueld0:
President Muhammadu Buhari has said that though he would have preferred that the process of electing the leaders as initiated and concluded by the All Progressives Congress (APC) had been followed, he was ready to work with the leadership of the National Assembly that emerged on Tuesday.

President Buhari said that “a constitutional process has somewhat occurred”./

What does "somewhat" mean?

excellentmomma:
Lolzzz, which party directives again, these pple think Nigeria is Tinubu's kitchen abi? You have lost the election, you are saying party directives, is the party conducting another one for you?

You will form a parallel HOR naa

You spoke my mind!

They should form parallel NASS!

atlwireles:
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria has expressed displeasure with the outcome of the National Assembly leadership election, calling it Treachery.


http://www.channelstv.com/2015/06/09/apc-says-outcome-of-national-assembly-election-is-treachery

People villified Gov Aliyu Babangida when he said there is no morality in politics.

Has he not been proved right?
