Honestly, the govt is plain stupid in rushing to arrest Sowore. They did not learn from Nnamdi Kanu's case. Leave the guy, let him make noise as much as he wants. He can never galvanize any revolution. Nigeria is more complex than that noise Sowore wanted to make. The govt simply dignified Sowore by arresting him.

I am desirous of a change in this country but we can not jump from frying pan to fire. Sowore cannot even manage a party, he was expelled and has not responded to the allegations of fraud made by his party men.

UNBOWED AND UNBROKEN: TAKE IT BACK MEMBERS VISIT DEFIANT SOWORE IN DSS DETENTION

At 6pm today, 5th August, 2019, members of the Take it Back Movement were allowed to visit with our convener, Omoyele Sowore, for the first time since his armed abduction in the early hours last Saturday, the 3rd of August.

The visitors met him in high spirits, unmoved by the events of the last few days. The officers allowed the guests to present him with food as Sowore had refused all meals since his capture. We are also happy to confirm that Take it Back members will be allowed to bring him food daily as per his wishes.

The freedom fighter was quick to ask about Movement and Party faithfuls as he is aware that there will be a lot of worry about his wellbeing, and would like to assure everyone that he is being treated well and is in very good health.

He is pleased that the peaceful #RevolutionNow protests he called Nigerians to stand for went ahead, and has expressed his dismay at knowledge of the sheer number of innocent Nigerians being arrested for exercising their civil rights. He is greatly concerned about the wellbeing of all those arrested and /or affected by today’s heavy handed police action, and joins in demanding for their immediate release.

Indeed, the silver lining in today’s unrest lies in the knowledge that the truly, you cannot stop an idea whose time has come.

The Take it Back Movement will continue to agitate for his release as well as that of every single comrade whose voice this oppressive regime has tried to silence.

This visit was a small win; but we will not rest until we are free and free indeed.

This is inevitable. The theft cannot be against the LCC only. Users of the toll pass whose account are subjected to sweeping retro-debit must have fallen victims to fraudulent debits. LCC should own up and refund such fraudulent debits.

18 Lekki toll collectors handed over to police


The Lekki Concession Company Limited has handed over 18 toll collectors, suspected to have defrauded it of huge sums of money, to the police for investigation.

The Managing Director, LCC, Mr Mubashiru Hassan, who made this known in a statement on Wednesday, said the affected employees took advantage of the operational hitches, which occurred in January, to perpetrate some sharp practices at the Admiralty Circle Toll Plaza in Lekki, Lagos.

Eyes Of Lagos gathered that, According to him, following the resolution of the hitches in June, the operations department carried out an audit and discovered some anomalies in transactions, such as the abuse of the transaction unblock key and non-adherence to vehicle processing procedures, including the receipt of money from customers without processing the vehicles and non-issuance of toll receipts to customers after receiving payment.

“Other offences were sabotage of toll equipment; non-adherence to the controls and operating procedures, including the use of personal phones in the booths; processing of vehicles on another person’s profile; and recording and accounting for low traffic numbers during peak periods,” the statement said.

Hassan was quoted as saying that consequent upon the discovery, the affected workers were queried and a disciplinary committee was set up to look into the matter.

He stated, “Out of the 56 suspected staff members, six were exonerated and 18 were indicted in the first batch and handed over to the police on July 11, 2019, for further investigation, while the remaining 32 are still undergoing internal questioning before decisive action will be taken against them in line with the disciplinary policies of the company.

“The LCC management will never tolerate any fraudulent act and will handle such behaviour decisively.”

He described the affected workers as unrepentant as “they have not seen what they have done as a criminal offence.”

“Instead, they have gone on the social media to malign the competence and character of the management staff, especially the managing director and managers in the operations department, who investigated and unravelled the fraudulent act,” Hassan stated.

too much money is being soent uote author=edunwablog post=80243873]A former Abia State Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has revealed that many senators are disappointed with their salaries after they got far below what they expected before getting into the Senate.

Kalu, who is the Chief Whip of the Senate, stated this on Saturday in Abuja when he addressed journalists, promising to give details of what senators earn soon.

He said: “Let me address the issue of jumbo pay. I have received my salary for June and it is far below what you people are writing.

“If a minister is travelling to Lagos, would he use his legs? What you call fat salary are monies used to run the constituency because they don’t give us additional funds.

“It is the money we use when we travel to Abia, Lagos, Badagry or Kaduna. Next meeting, I will unveil to you.

“You will now see that you are maligning and criticising the National Assembly for nothing.

“Most of my colleagues said they did not know it was going to be like this and I said we came to serve our country as senators.

“When they were outside, they were also saying that all the money was carried by the National Assembly which is not true.

“The money they have given them is not going to be enough. I have seen them crying already.

“They came to me to complain because I have seen the good and the ugly.

“I think that the media is not fair to the National Assembly. I call on you people to change your minds because there is no jumbo pay; honestly, I have not seen one.

“If I see jumbo pay that does not represent my conscience, I will speak.

“When I was governor, the state was buying my food; the state paid everything, but as a senator, nobody does that.”

The West should stop the imperialist policies undermining the development of other countries. They should also aid the rectification of the selfish political boundaries imposed for political and economic benefits which are holding down those countries. The West will continue to receive unwanted migrants so long the economic gap between the rich West and other regions is not reduced.

quote author=dorothybella post=79843243]Femi Fani-Kayode, former minister of aviation, has reacted to Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo’s decision to step down as the Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, COZA, over alleged rape allegation from Timi Dakolo’s wife, Busola.

Pastor Fatoyinbo had in a post on his Instagram page on Monday, announced stepping down from the pulpit following the rape saga.

He wrote: “The past few days have been very sobering on me I have taken time to seek spiritual counsel form Christian leaders around the world who feel very concerned about the ongoing report in the media.

“I have solicited their guidance on actions I should take that is honoring to our Lord Jesus Christ and the work he has called me to do.

“Drawing from their counsel and that of the leadership of COZA and owing to my love for Lord’s work and the sacred honor of my calling I have decided to take a leave of absence from the pulpit of the church.”
This came on the heels of protests asking the cleric to step down over rape allegations dogging him.

Reacting, Fani- Kayode on his Twitter page commended Fatoyinbo for stepping down, as he called on Nigerians to put all their focus now on planned RUGA settlements.

According to him, the COZA pastor is a great preacher and would rise again.

The former minister further asked Nigerians to also channel their protest to a case of an Islamic cleric who reportedly raped a 16-year-old girl.

Fani-Kayode wrote: “Now that Pastor Biodun Fatunyibo has stepped down as Pastor of COZA can we get back to RUGA?

“An Islamic cleric rapes a 16-year-old girl yet no outrage is expressed on social media and no protests at the mosque.

“Why the double standard? Is it because no-one knows the little girl and she comes from a poor home? Is it because she is a Muslim? Is she not a human being too?

“At least Biodun Fatoyinbo had the decency and courage to step down. How many others can do that?

“I have worshipped at COZA and whatever anyone may say about that young man he really is a very good preacher. He also loves God! I am praying for him! He shall rise again!”

You spew insults, your kingsmen are hailing you. When you spew at others, you expose why the Igbos have had no true friends everywhere. Always quick to insult whoever does not align with their position. Always ready to flaunt their ''superiority'' supposed superiority and grandstanding on their success. Nobody is stopping the Igbos. You can speak up, after all, you guys have been hiding behind the social media to spew the venom. There are consequences for all actions. Just don't blame another tribe for the consequences of your lack of tact openly displayed. You call others slave, yet you rent houses from them. Did you carry houses from the East when you came Lagos?. You beg to stay in other peoples regions so you can make economic progress, yet you call those you beg slaves. Please continue, time will tell. But one thing is wisdom is superior to bravado.

eyeview:
The fulani herdsmen are raping and killing unhindered.
Yet 80% of the slaves here will prefer to insult and deride igbos if they speak out against it. The slavery mentality juju that has caught these tribes will never catch igbos. I know many fools from Edo state who are ever on nairaland insulting any igbo group speaks up against these attacks while their Edo and even South west forests are being taken over by the same herdsmen.

Is that not the lowest form of slave mentality.

And the dumb ones are so numerous. See how they are jumping up and down. Rivers is a Christian State, yet the Christian Governor has no scruples looting the state dry. Even Maiduguri with BH is looking more promising than PH. If it was a Kano Governor who said this, you can imagine how agitated all of them including CAN will become. A letter would immediately be sent to the UN, EU, and US. It is the South starting this now oh. What we can't finish, we better not start.

I just wonder why Africa is cursed with leadership.

AntiWailer:
Oshey !!! play religious card.

It works for the dumb ones.

There are two different cases. Innoson has won one and that case was a case of wrongful deduction from his account by GTBank. You guys haled the judiciary to be incorruptible for delivering that judgment. The other case is a forgery one and Innoson has been avoiding court summons. I suppose a clear conscience fears no accusation. The judge in the fraud case was forced to issue a bench warrant because of Innoson's attitude to the court. And here the judge is been castigated and the Judiciary is suddenly corrupt and serving Afonja's interest. If this country is to make progress, we have to stop castigating the Judiciary for doing their job.

Juliusmalema:
So Justice Ayokunle Faji is the one now executing Segun Agbaje dirty deal.


These people will never change their hateful mindset.


Segun has collaborated with his clan man as judge to intimidate Innoson.

They should ask awolowo how his end was becausee they will die regretting their actions.

quote author=silverbirdng post=79596717]Former National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and erstwhile Vice-Chancellor of the Imo State University (IMSU), Prof Ukachukwu Awuzie, has said that it would be difficult for power to return to the Southwest in 2023 going by power equation in the country.

According to him, even if the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, brings all the money in the world, he would not be the next President as the position will go to Northeast in 2023.

“Before, the Sokoto emblem was ‘Born to rule’; now if you look at the six geo-political zones in the country, the Southwest has served for eight years, South-south six years, put them together it isn14 years, they left Northwest alone another eight years with two years of Yar’Adua, which is 10 years, only one zone out of the three, the Northeast has not gone, North-central has not gone, the Southwest has gone, the South-south has gone, it remains the Southeast.

“Look at the number of years they have gone, South has covered 14 years; North has covered or will cover 10 years when Buhari completes his tenure.

“I don’t think they would allow the West, even if it is Tinubu, let him bring all the money in the world, the President will go to Northeast in 2023,” he said in an interview with Sun newspaper.

On the political situation in the country, Awuzie described it as wobbly, saying that sometimes it seems President Muhammadu Buhari is on holiday and detached from the problems plaguing the country.

He said, “We have a wobbling leadership, sometimes it appears to me that our president is on holidays, he has to take grip of situations.

“We are in a country you cannot go to bed with your two eyes closed, a country you cannot guarantee six hours of light, a country priding itself that we can produce 8,000megawatts when South Africa produces 30,000megawatts, you are talking of 8,000megawatts for a country of 200 million population, I think we have a long way to go.

“What I am saying is that the leadership should be more pragmatic, we must look at harnessing the best; our problem in Nigeria is that we are not using the best to drive both the economy and governance.”

Despite the exposure and education, this still came out from Agbakoba. Isn't it obvious politics is not about equitable distribution of post along tribal lines? Why give the elections and appointments a tribal colouration suggesting the SE was deliberately maltreated. Life is about choices and accepting the consequences.

quote author=nairavsdollars post=79306433]Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Chief Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) on Wednesday has described as worrisome that no South Easterner is occupying any position in the first six political offices in the current administration.

President Muhammadu Buhari is from the North-Central while Vice- President Yemi Osinbajo is from the South- West. Ahmad Lawan, Senate President is from the North- East while Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila the Speaker of the House of Reps is from the South- West.

Justice Tanko Mohammed the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) is from the North- Eastern state of Bauchi while Senator Ovie Omo- Agege the Deputy Senate President is from the South- South geopolitical zone.

He also said the President Muhammadu Buhari’s speech on Democracy Day was not inspiring though it gave him a slight ray of hope.

“I was not inspired because it was not the kind of speech that I expected. I expected a foundation laying speech; meaning that if you are building a house, you find a deal with foundation issues. I think Nigeria lacks the foundation and the fact that for instance, if you look at the first six highest political offices in Nigeria and there is no Igbo man is worrying which the President hopes to achieve development and success”.

“I was hoping to hear a speech that focuses on the need for a strong, united Nigeria. I didn’t hear that. Notwithstanding, what I hear gives me a slight ray of hope. I was impressed with the issue of lifting 100 million people out of poverty in 10 years”.

“I was impressed with the fact that there will be strong men to do the job. So, what I am looking at now is to watch out for the next few days to see the kinds of people that will be appointed to drive the ship of state” he said.
