What bills has the FG paid? Liar !

Goddex: @bolded
Shameless liar, Ikorodu road is a federal road and also maintained by FERMA. LASG used to forward bills to FG for refunds whenever it intervenes in fixing it although they are now begging to take over the road because of the BRT it operates there.

Why should he engage himself in such silliness? Oh, I see - that Maku said it is your proof! We know who you are then. BTW Maku also said you, Goddex, stole his watch. Now why don't you prove Maku wrong?

How you people can believe your own glaring lies is beyond comprehension.

Goddex: The ACN spokesman is focusing too much on tarnishing Maku's person instead of proving him wrong on the allegation that about 70% of the roads in Lagos Island for instance belong to FG and that all Fashola does is provide sanitation and traffic control. You see, our politicians are very deceptive because even when Fashola intervenes in Federal roads and refunds are made to him by Federal Govt, they will not announce it. Maku has this information at his finger tips and knew what he was talking about.

Educate yourself and stop being a jester.
Where did you buy your brain?
You need a refund !!!

dammytosh: Opon Imo ?






Clueless leaders with clueless sycophants as followers.

Some eeediots went to china to import tablets and sell to Osun State Government by force to make some cool cash legally off tax payer's money.

Of what use is that useless tablet to students in secondary school and how is buying and distributing sovenirs a laudable project.

And listen to the name --- Opon Imo

Reasons i can't entrust Nigeria into Tinubu's hand , sorry OPC's hands. ACN can only be relevant in a country ruled by PDP. What a party full of jokers.

This is why the SW must keep pursuing its own agenda within or without Nigeria.
I cannot believe there are actually people in Nigeria that will speak [size=14pt]evil [/size]of this initiative.
PDP does not care about Nigerians - all they want is the so-called "power".
They forget that power without service is actually "powerlessness".

Gbawe: Have you finally lost it completely? I knew this day was near considering your anti-ACN rants were getting more rabid by the minute. Like many have told you before, you really cannot be someone who means well for the SW when you malign the ACN 24/7 while supporting the "nest of killers" blindly.

Everyone, bar PDP crooks, agree that the SW is now far better under the ACN than when it was under the gangsterism of the PDP. I can even abide Labour fans criticising the ACN because it can be argued that their Governor is performing. The constant and bitter criticism of the ACN coming from you, with your blind support for a Party that wreaked havoc on the SW, are like a man (you) praising and supporting the rap1st (PDP) of his daughter (the SW). Try, along with your fellow enemies of progress, to knock this initiative as much as you want but it is a laudable project by every account that actually saves money in the long run. Absolutely fantastic project and the United Nation thinks so as well to the extent they are looking at this as potential harmonised West African education scheme. Shame on you enemies of progress who can never ever shun negativity to simply give credit where due and move on.

Any Tom, Dick (watching that useless spambot) and Harry can talk.
The question is what has PDP done for Nigeria in 14 years other than stealing votes and acting confused on the job.
Yeye dey smell.

You guys have just witnessed the declaration of BH as an international terror group.

Shekau now has a drone missile waiting to send him on his long-planned journey to h.e.ll

earthgreeners: You are right..... It places Shekau on the top list of the terror hierarchy.....

Another round of state project stealing has begun. Why don't you stick to your "taxi-park airports" re-construction, instead of looking for trouble?

Sincere 9gerian: In other words, Fashola is doing mainly street roads (local govt grade roads), "environmental sanitation and traffic control" with N30billion monthly revenue. Yet, they say he's a performer? That is the power of media propaganda. Smh!

These jokers have no shame at all.

[size=14pt]Under a PDP government that project would never see the light of day, but the money would be spent.[/size]

Everybody on the planet, except the eggheads in PDP, know that roads like this one are tolled because it provides a specific convenience to road users, to maintain it and to fund other regular infrastructure programs of the government.

A state government is commissioning first of kind bridge in West Africa, federal government is commissioning "re-modeled taxi-park" airports. Need anybody tell you which party produced each of these.

May the good lord please relieve Nigeria of the curse of PDP in 2015.

anonimi: Fashola's democracy dividend for Lagosians - more tolls, taxes & levies.
As if the tax burden reflected in massively increased IGR is not already enough on the over-taxed people of Lagos.

Is the Lagos PDP waking up from its slumber to ADEQUATELY challenge Fashola's inhumane policies towards the tax payers of the state

I sure hope so as they need to also play OPPOSITION politics at the state and even LGA levels to constantly expose the Achilles heel of this Tax & Steal government by Fashola that robs the masses to pay the elites.
I hope PDP in other states will emulate this laudable initiative and constantly investigate and highlight the bad deeds of the pseudo-progressives in the Association of Conmen in Nigeria, ACN

This pretentious Ikengawo...

Ikengawo: I haven't been to Nigeria for years but I'm seeing and hearing of Chime Sullivan a lot. Is it just propaganda or is he really a good governor?

Hihihi....
But seriously there is much power left in the hand of governors, but your observation is right especially on security.
The GEJ presidency is so bold as to try to "steal" state projects as their own.

CROWÉ: Being a governor must be one of the worst jobs for someone who isn't a glorified crook to do, you get all the judgement and none of the power, because the presidency has cornered your share of it.

Excuses...they were all there during the process.
It was 35 because one state was absent at the meeting.

Lusola15: Hmmm
If gov amechi shows a video of where each gov voted. I will believe he truly won d election. U produce ballot paper by ursef for an election u contest in. What happened to d 36th ballot paper. Could someone av pulled a fastone

.

I found out by accident that simply copying and pasting the name shown when you click "Share this Video" on YouTube embeds the video. That name is completely different from the URL. It is "ttp://youtu.be/Lm2scT2tBJg" instead of "ttp://www.youtube.com/embed/Lm2scT2tBJg"

Note that I removed "h" from the above so it would not actually embed.

chaloner: thanks man how did u embeded the video, tell me pls.... to the topic, they taught they will win, and now they are saying that amechi use naija method "rigging" which may be 90% true. amechi would have step down

.

Medicine after death.
They participated in the voting - it was only 35 of them in there for God's sake.
It was counted with everybody looking on - and clearly Uduaghan (a GEJ/Jang) supporter was the returning officer.
The Jang faction was confident of victory and could see no way to rig the vote - remember only 35 people in the room !!!

Mimiko is a disappointment in suggesting that governors should go by a show of hands. This why elections are held by secret ballot - it is a private matter, a personal decision that nobody should be allowed to influence by any form of coercion. It is the signature expression of the freedom of choice in a democracy. This is not a vote among school children about going on recess.

If GEJ was so dumb enough to jump in the NGF affairs, then Amaechi did right in taking the choice of the NGF chairman off the hands of his hand-picked sycophants. It is as simple as that.

Anyway, here is the medicine after death video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm2scT2tBJg

chaloner: i think even amechi need not to be trusted. all of them are the same

A faction of the Nigeria Governors Forum led by the Plateau state governor, Jonah Jang has taken time to explain what transpired during the controversial chairmanship election.

Jang who was in the company of the Ondo state governor, Olusegun Mimiko and other colleagues, said the Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi imposed the election on the other governors.

Mimiko went on to challenge the Pro-Amaechi faction to release the full video footage of the election instead of an edited version which is currently in circulation.

some one should help me embed this video.

http://www.weyab.com/2013/06/ngf-crisis-jang-mimiko-explain-how.html

You know the question already. Sahara Reporters gave us a version of the story - and the video below from Dr. Damages is hilarious in driving home the SR position. I am a staunch supporter of SR any day - this outlet has, in its own way, helped to keep the excesses of our so-called democratic rulers in check over the last decade and more. So, whatever their shortcomings SR is undeniably good for Nigeria.

However, I think they got the mathematics of this wrong. As much as I am disappointed in the performance of this administration I still refuse to believe that President Jonathan would miss his speech for such mundane reasons as being too drunk/upset over the NGF election. GEJ has said and done many things, but this would be the low of the low and a ground for impeachment if it were true. I believe this to be untrue.

Also I do not believe the lie by Abati that GEJ was having side meetings during the speech. That is the line Aso Rock put out to drive home what I see as the main purpose of this action.

So what is my take? It is this - based on the BH imbroglio at home "our" fellow African nations, always disposed to engaging in conspiracy against big-brother Nigeria saw fit to deny Nigeria the rightful endorsement for the open non-permanent seat at the UN. I think this group of vultures, meeting as they were in their Chinese-built/paid-for edifice and sleeping-off liberally, were going to give it to South Africa or some other "Western" favored country - such as Ghana. Let me say that it is not entirely their fault since there should be no reason for Nigeria to be in this situation in the first place if we had an effective administration. Nevertheless, it does not belong to any other African country to denigrate Nigeria for any reason. Look all over the place, Nigeria is always running around helping them quench fires that overwhelm their domains - South Africa, Liberia, Niger, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Somalia, etc. That none of these countries see fit to offer help to solving any of our problems is bad enough, but to use these as opportunities to ride roughshod over us is betrayal of the highest level.

Anyway, as I was saying, faced with its own ineffective diplomacy and impending betrayal the GEJ administration seems to have gone kolo on the AU by deliberately leaving them in limbo when it was time to give Nigeria's speech. Why do I have a strong feeling this was the case? It is because President GEJ made no alternative arrangements beforehand, he did not even inform his protocol officials - everyone was caught unawares. This bears the hallmark of a stealth operation. I was going to put this down to some security situation (which would be another valid explanation), but when we note the fact that President GEJ came out to take photographs right after the session this reason falls flat (similarly the drunk and sick reason falls flat for this reason).

With more competent hands African diplomacy should be a cakewalk for Nigeria without any need for such measures, but I'll say it was worth it - if indeed this was the reason.

In any case, the above is my theory. Let us hear your theory, but meanwhile enjoy the hilarious clip from Dr. Damages.

You think everything about God should be in Israel?
Ah, such ignorance of our own history.
Sub-Saharan Africa was known as the "land of the Gods" by the ancient Egyptians - way before Israel.

In any case, that is not necessarily someones "footprint" but a carving of a footprint into granite rock. The person behind this carved it with all the details of a foot in muddy soil.

dannysteve99@ya:
And poster u wamt us to belived u,it was God footprint?Nt even in Isreal,in South Africa hahaha u are joking

This people just need to stop. What family is he talking about? If Jang needs a family he better go find is iwn. Enough of this padi-padi handling of Nigeria's affairs. They are calling but not attending your meetings !!!

It is your kind of mentality that makes them too strong. Just go in your voting booth and vote against PDP. Simple as that.

D sage: I'm begin to fear PDP domination in Nigeria politic as it's the only party that's nationally outlook. CPC,ACN,ANPP and the others are usually committing some polical suicide these days. PDP is too strong to collapse even with current crisis within it.

Gulak or is it gulag should better put his house in order then...becos his wish to not be here when Nigeria kicks out corrupt old goats may come to pass.

Strictly speaking, boreholes are not good for the environment because they directly deplete the groundwater that keeps rivers flowing when the rain stops. Public water works rely mainly on large bodies of surface water. Apart from groundwater too many boreholes can cause other problems. Boreholes to public water are generators to the national grid.

Pvt. Parts:
Everything! Since most people have found ways to secure water for themselves.

I won't be surprised if LASG starts to TAX residents with borehole under an obscure mining & drilling tax and then force everyone to have their polluted water irrespective of if you need it or not.

Original dunce - even Jang is not claiming to be "UNANIMOUSLY" selected. These are the kinds of shameless bufoons that get propeled into office in Nigeria. Egunje spoil naija finish.

This is what I expect to hear from Gen. Buhari from here on.
Nigerians are capable of recognizing good leaders without all the unnecessary fire & brimstone that come from both sides of the aisle.

GEJ needs to go cool it and call his drugged dogs (Dokubo and co.) to order.

arcis: Retired Gen. Muhammad Buhari, leader of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), said the evolution of All Progressive Congress (APC) was not for personal aggrandisement, but for national cohesion.

He stated this at the inauguration of constituency projects by member representing Zaria at the House of Representatives, Rep. Abbass Tajuddeen in Zaria, Kaduna State on Wednesday.

Buhari, represented by CPC Chairman in Kaduna State, Alhaji Ahmadu Yaro-Cocacola, said APC, if elected, was determined to foster national unity and restore hope to Nigerians.

He appealed to electorate to remain humble and peaceful during and after 2015 general election with a view to electing credible candidates into various elective positions for the good of the nation.

Buhari lauded the efforts of the lawmaker for bringing the dividends of democracy close to the door steps of his people and called on other members to emulate him.

Why don't you ask the President to abolish your family because of a quarrel - GEJ may be your lord and master that way, but keep it to yourself.

The fact is that the governors have freedom of association. It is none of GEJ's business what goes on in this forum, other than to listen to what they have to say - whether to take their advice or not is his business. He just needs to keep his hands out of their pie - even though he may have supporters/non-supporters it is a SIN for him to so overtly attempt to manipulate the forum. It is to the credit of those who have decided to curb his excesses. This is like the OBJ third term saga - and we should be glad the national assembly stood up to him then, and the NGF is standing up to GEJ now.

For those encouraging GEJ to continue along this path - you don't need me to tell you where it will end up.

owobokiri: The governors forum should be abolished. Jonathan should then declare "no victor- no vanquished" Amechi style! It is nothing but a weird invention that serves no useful purpose other than to massage the ballooning egos of some wayward state chief executives. This group should be scattered and members forced to be more productive in their states with impeachment threats from Abuja dangling over their capitals like the sword of Damocles. . Okorocha should also learn where to draw the line between defending his personal interests and fighting for his states. His APC is DOD in Imo. Turning Imo into a hotbed of opposition politics when the state can do with a lot of federal help is counter productive and should be stopped. As productive as his two years in power has been, he should always remember that one of the main propaganda tools deployed against him by the opposition before his election was the charge that he was a northern stooge. Some of his recent actions and outbursts don't seem to help in changing this deep rooted perception. .

I think a letter to Rev. Jackson on the "undemocratic" nature of GEJ is in order.

Again the iranian link seems clear. Are Nigerian muslims mainly sunnis? I ask because that gives us the other reason Iran would be doing this apart from helping Hezbollah and other terrorist to create their "islamic" empire.

eazysally: JESUS!!!!! Am scared!!! No wonder that baskad shekeau was calling on those terrorist infested countries to come to his aid am start smelling the presence of hizbolla,alshabab and algaeda in this discovery. Does it means my beloved country Nigeria is nolonger save?? What is this country turning to in our own eyes..God save us frm this war and give us victory..Plz God give our security agents more clues and insight to uncover many such amouries!!

Coming from you and the way you go about claiming ACN projects for GEJ your hypocrisy smells to high heavens. Is it really necessary that everyone listen to GEJ? If he had good things to say the newspapers and repetitions of it over the following days will ensure that everyone that cares hears about it.

It is your likes that give GEJ a big head. He is our privileged servant in Aso Rock - not our lord and master (perhaps yours).

Sincere 9gerian: I think these ACN people are taking this politics and competition mentality too far. The states and FG should collaborate to deliver services to the people. The ACN mentality of competition with the FG is petty and needless.

Even if the governor scheduled his media interaction first, the sensible to do when that of the president was announced was to shift his to maybe later in the evening.

Yes, we know. What is your ghostly point. Jang needs to solve his own problems before creating more. divisive governor in his own state suddenly trying to push himself into national limelight.

slimghost: And your point is? Do you know how Amaechi came to be the NGF Chairman in the first place? Pls don't dabble into things you don't know.

Imagine your brain doing contortions and sommersaults in attempts to understand what's coming out of its owner's mouth.

At least you agree PDP is full of bad eggs, but your logic of who is leaving and who is left behind is a basket trying to hold water !!!

thelastpope10: Though this story is false, I would have actually loved it to be true.

Then APC will have all the bad eggs and PDP will be fully reborn while still being the party in power. That will be revolution without throwing a single punch....licking ma lips...

Fani Kayode is gone...Thats one man down!

This is where I disagree with you.

All of these do not justify that the boy, being clearly British, is being called Nigerian.
If it matters so much to the British to recognize his "Nigerian-ness" against common practice, then it matters to us that we recognize his "British-ness". All they had to do is continue what he is properly described as: "British of Nigerian Descent" - but this was just a setup for the switch we now witness. Sure, by Nigerian law he remains a Nigerian - but last time I heard 40% of the London population is now of foreign descent. Those that were actually born in Nigeria, moved to Britain and now represent it in enviable positions are firmly known as "British" - why would any one switch that practice at this point but high-level hypocrisy.

Your list of evil deeds that occur daily in Nigeria is irrelevant. Perhaps at a smaller scale, similar ignoble acts occur all over the world - but that is not the point. Let's talk about the epidemic of such acts in Nigeria separate from a man who imbibed religiously-motivated hate and revenge, and became less-than-human. There is no need to drag Nigeria and all the problems we have into this mess.

Here is my take. If the British clearly identify extremist groups within their communities - particularly those who stand in corners of their streets calling for the destruction of the nation and killing of its soldiers - then they should ensure that bad things happen to them in the "middle of the night". Stop waiting until they visit their sick craziness on the rest of us.

It baffles the imagination as to how a Black African came to believe "Afghanistan and Iraq" as "his lands" - and commit such horrendous murder in support. This was the same nonsense mouthed by that cursed pant-bomber Muttalab.

Still, there is room for Nigeria to be more responsible for its "citizens" abroad - and at home for that matter.

Jakumo: So please, ye flag-waving Nigerian PATRIOTS, do not get too carried away with your cries of indignant dismay, over the press descriptions of the decapitation performed by that NIGERIAN boy living in London, since there is NO denying that decapitation, disembowelment and dismemberment are little more than daily routines for hordes of NIGERIAN juju practitioners, and their thousands of customers, IN NIGERIA, and all over Africa, which truly remains the dark continent in this particular regard.

Hhhhmmmm...that is all I have go to say.

http://www.tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/news/item/12936-army-nabs-3-tompolo-boys-2-women-with-vessels-of-illegally-refined-diesel
Written by Ebenezer Adurokiya - Warri Monday, 27 May 2013

Five suspects, including three members of the Oil Field Surveillance Ltd (OFSL) contracted to keep watch on oil facilities in Warri waterways and beyond were nabbed conveying illegally refined diesel from a refining camp towards Warri over the weekend.

Soldiers from 3rd Battalion, Nigerian Army and Sector 1, Operation Pulo Shield, led by Lieutenant Colonel Ifeanyi Otu, made the arrest of the five suspects while on patrol of waterways at Benit Island, Macaraba and Ogbukoko in Warri South Local Government Area of the stateat the wee hours of Friday.

Two women, one a nursing mother with a baby and the other, heavily pregnant woman, were caught in the act of scooping diesel into cans and drums for onward ferrying to Warri.

OFSL is a company owned by former dreaded warlord, Chief Government Okpemupolo, alias Tompolo, whose contract was said to have been renewed by the Federal Government to continue keeping surveillance on oil facilities in the creeks of the Niger Delta.

Efforts made to reach OFSL’s General Manager, Kestin Pondi, were unsuccessful as he neither picked his phone nor replied the text message sent to his phone; same applies to the media person, Paul Bebenimibo, whose line was not reachable, but was later said to have travelled abroad.

The names of the suspects were given as Mr Blessing Emotoghan Akpos (32); Mr Omotoye Rufus (34); Mrs Tokere Lucky; Mrs Ayase Abibara (38); Mr Victor Tene (22).

The female suspects told the Nigerian Tribune that they were not oil thieves, but were fisher women who were busy with their business before they were nabbed by the soldiers.

Mr Tene, an indigene of Calabar, confessed to have committed the crime but the two other male suspects denied being a party to illegal oil refining. They insisted that they were on patrol of waterways when they were picked up by the soldiers.
Confirming the arrest and culpability of the suspects, Colonel Otu stated that the patrol was a successful one as over 15 boats of locally-refined diesel and crude oil were burnt.

According to him, it was normal for criminals not to own up when they were caught, but that the suspects were caught in the very act at local refinery camps, adding that they had no business being at the camps at the wee hours of that day if they were not oil thieves.

Otu, who promised to hand over the suspects to appropriate quarters, if the suspects were caught in communities, leaders of such communities would have been apprehended as earlier handed down by the military authorities in Benin.

He advised unrepentant oil bunkerers to consider the economic and environmental hazards of their activities and have a change of heart before nemesis catches up with them.
