Lawyers in da house, any constitutional idea? section, sub-section, in bracket,, bla bla bla,
comment now

It is a question that requires common sense, u don’t have to be a lawyer or Academic Doctor to know the answer. Is the post of the first Lady recognised by our Constitution – No,

Does she draw a Salary – No,

so what is the big deal, well the big deal is she is the wife of the President,

Is the President on seat now- No

Conclusion: If President is not on seat it simply means Madame Turai is irrelevant as it stands now, it may well change in future but for now, Turai is a nobody.

The man looks like an attack dog, the type u want in your corner. Like a soldier man tell am to go kill na “jorojarajo, about turn, quick match, slow match”.

I can understand why Jonathan Goodluck did not sack him entirely he is the type that is ready to do any dirty job for anybody in power hence special duties Minister.

Put Agbero or area boy as Presido, Aoondoka would served them well with all diligence. If you tell that man to chop shit that man go chop oh…………….

That to me is an asset one should not discard without thinking it through.

I like that


Soludo has to under-study someone for him to get to the Presidency. Having failed in Anambra State, the Federal route might be the only option he has left, Ndigbo’s would vote for him as a VP with a provision of eventually taking over after 8 or 6 years.

Nigerians might embrace his Dubai plans that was summarily rejected by Anambrians

TURAI FOR VP !!!!


The only President Turai can ever be is the President of Yaradua's Kitchen Cabinet. At least she would be making nice Tuwo for them to eat.

Mr President Appoint VP in January 2011

Jonathan Goodluck should not appoint a VP until 4 months into the inauguration. If he appoints a VP now, the attention and gravitas will shift from him to the VP. Disgruntled ministers would be seeking attention and favour from the VP thereby in subordinating his Presidency. He should enjoy every bit of his Presidency and rule without fear or favour.

My take is by choosing someone like Ribadu who is not part of the so called ruling class as his VP, Jonathan would not only have created a new dynasty in which he would be the God-Father of the new President he would also have broken the hold and established monopoly certain individuals have on power.

Jonathan should not fall into the trap of the Kano / Katsina mafia by appointing the VP from those States except if the choice is not amongst Yaradua’s Kitchen Cabinet most Nigerians have had enough of them. They know themselves.

There are 21 Northern States the VP can come from any one of these states

1. Kano
2. Katsina
3. Sokoto
4. Niger
5. Kebbi
6. Nasarawa
7. Borno
8. Jigawa
9. Benue
10. Kogi
11. Kwara
12. Kaduna
13. Palteau
14. Gombe
15. Adamawa
16. Taraba
17. FCT
18. Yobe
19. Bauchi
20. Zamfara

Enjoy the Stewardship of the Presidency for now, Mr Presidency you have 18 months to pick the man that would move the country forward, I would suggest you send your advisers to search for the best person for the Job.

My Suggestion of Ribadu would re-position the PDP for an overwhelming victory in the 2011 polls.

Ribadu- For President

Soludo – VP

AOONDOKA GETS A THUM UP

The Tivs are the enforcers for Yardua, with Madame Waziri waiting in the wings to pounce on any subversive or resenting voice, no wonder Bafawara has kept qiet just a little roughend up by EFCC's hard men has made him retreat into his hole. ( I would not be susprise if Dora Akinyuli is picked up for one thrump up charge or the other in the weeks to come.)

Obviusly this times are the best times in the history of the Tivs,  they would not want to give it up without a fight, unlike like the beroms of Jos,  the Tivs are not ready to unshackle themselves from the servitude, slavery and apron of the Saunderner of Sokoto,  the sooner they realise it the better it would be for them.

Are you not this same dumb arse that gets twisted out of human form when the issue of good-for-nothing southern ethnic groups, including Yoruba, joined their masters from northern region of Nigeria to fight Biafrans?

Please address the name-calling to your ridiculous forbearers and quit this shameful shenanigan of trying to paint entire southern Nigerians with one brush.



Our Foreign Minister is not exonerated, his act and threat in an open world press confrence shows he dances to the tune of the mallams like a puppet. That man has lost the plot, if that is what the Igbo's has to offer the South in terms of bravado and resistance, I am afraid the man only made us Soutthernrs look like a bigger fool.

Poster, now you are changing the post oh. . . .which one u dey now

Any how u look at it,  we Southerners are the one drawing our selves down when it comes to money we lose our senses. That mallam has being coma going to 72 days now and still counting,  what did we do. You are can interprete the the post the way u want but the bone of contention is the same. Can u imagine a PHD IS THE VP, instead of us to give him a chance some dumb ass head is calling for the 1st lady to be President yet we siddon look.

KnowAll, currently where are you , i dont know if you are in abroad, ofcourse 9ja needs for you pp with good ideas,why wont you heading to sanate,reps as well turai to admonish them in a simple words they may imbibe your above mentioned ideas and release 150mpp to enjoy their nation as well.


Thanks for the commendation, but the coast is not clear for me to come and contribute my own quota to the development of the country. Having said that if at all I want to get involve in Naija Poltics it would be done discreetly.

1) I have criticised a lot of our current Politicians who are good for nothing anyway.

2.) the only way these sons and daughters of suicide bombers reacts to people who criticise them is to exterminate all vocal, factual and militant criticism. (We all saw our External affairs Minister threaten a Nigeria Journalist in an open press conference. ) That brings me to my 3rd question :

Are you praising me so that I can come into the lions’s den so that your Madame Mrs 1st lady would give me a very nice Dele Giwa treatment or are you genuinely praising me, my hearts says it is the former, but my head says it is latter.

I have chose to believe it is the former as the Nigeria SSS has no Job these days since Oga Yaradua is not around, other than to scan the Web for supposedly subversive elements.

Oh boy u tried in trying to lure me back to Naija, but I think I am wiser than that. I shall do my home coming at my own time when the Turai’s of this world will be irrelevant in our polity and back in the Kitchen where she belongs.


NB: Nothing against you if have genuine intentions towards me.

Why is Turai holding the bloody country to ransom as if the whole country is her personal kitchen utensils? A country endowed with learned fellows men and women of integrity from every works of life are held, bounded, and even sectioned by either fear, trepidation or cowardice by a woman who is almost a semi-illetrate.

Why are we pandering to every whims and turns of this common law house wife. Even the Generals in our Armed forces shakes in their booths when she raises her hand, men who will not remotely allow their wives to utter the most suggestive question with regards to their own personal concerns and fears are now pandering to the wife of a President they are not sure whether he is alive, in-coma or dead.

The armed forces should take charge of the situation henceforth, I am not advocating for a coup, far from it, what I am advocating is a solution to the political Log-Jam we found ourselves, the duty of our armed forces in as well as adhering to the constitutional provisions enshrined in our constitution, they are also the custodian of our constitution and the last bastion for neutrality in a country known for its ethnic strife.

. What the armed forces should do :-

1. Announce the rather premature but apparent end of the Yaradua presidency.

2. Dissolve the parliament, since (our Law Makers ) the present House of Assembly cannot deliberate with all sincerity on something as mundane as ascertaining the true state of the health of the President.

3. Send this power drunk house wife called the first lady back to her semi-arid backwater ensuring she is restricted to her Kitchen.

4. Declare Jonathan as interim President in which he would prepare, organise and ensure a Presidential election is conducted within a 90 day period, the election would also includes those of the Senate and Reps,

5. The States, LG and State of House of Assembly would continue with their current political dispensation until 2011,

6. Rectify the Constitution with a clause for “Re-calling incapable law-makers” Constituents should be allowed to re-call their House men and women if they believe they are not performing. This rule should be applicable to both Federal and States lawmakers.

.
7. The above for-mentioned steps will halt complacency, and all forms of indecision which has been the bane of the last assembly, it would also awaken our Legislators to their duties and cases of blatant dereliction of duty, and absenteeism would be curtailed drastically.

8. Jonathan would not be running for the Presidency, during the interim period, the Chief of Army staff would be the de-facto VP.

exactly why you will never get anything done.

no year passes without someone getting killed based on Politics.

It is either you are Man ENOUGH or waiting for everything to be right,  it will never be.


What is man enough in deciding not to get yourself involved in anachy. In a country where people's lives are 2 for a penny, u seriouly think I am mad enough to get myself involved in that kind of mayhem, u must be jocking.

In my costinency ( I won't mention it ) the incumbent House man was actually involved in ballot box snatching in a recent by-election is that the kind of human being I will say " I don chop bellyful wan challenge for election " . Oh boy smell the coffee b4 you get stung.

I must emphasis thus,  that not all consetuencies are like that, but mine is a no go area for now.

I personally would have love to throw my hat in the ring in other to take up a legislative post in my own constituency, but the recent assassination of the AC Guber guy in Ogun State put a stop to that for now. I have to re-strategise. At the moment the country is run by a gangster, nobody really knows who’s in charge, in such circumstances anything can happen to anyone, the welfare of my wife and kids is of more importance than the jungle called Nigeria today.

My views might however change 6 to 8 weeks from now when we have a substantive person in charge of the nation but as of today I rather be on the sideline and watch proceedings.

Anyways goodluck to you Nuzo.
