Bros, i am bewildered by the new lows.

Do you know what bothers me, i have seen people who are graduates who set this incredible lows. Its not a matter of illiteracy, its beyond that.

This is semi-literacy bro, it is worse actually, half knowledge and understanding is what makes people cook up conspiracy theories like this one. Someone like this will believe just about anything.

lahizak:
The point is that, as a person in charge of election, u should never ever wear sometin that might make people tink u favour a party. U must not only be unbiased but also appear unbiased. For goodness sake he is wearing the same cap, not even a similar one or similar design, same cap. The only way it make sense is if he had wore the cap before APC adopt it 4 dere party which seems highly unlikely

This is weakening, perhaps you should get him a tailor that would vete his every attire lest it clash with any of the candidates' clothing, hell he shouldn't wear agbada anymore seeing as APC and even PDP wear agbada for campaigns. Oh and he should take his glasses off as well, we can't have him using the same eye accessories as the candidates.

Edoloaded:
Who else thinks Buhari will allow a free and fair election.



The first picture is that of the ince chairman Mahmood Yakubu

Semi-literacy is the bane of Nigerian progress and this post is a perfect example.

Afamed:
Keep quiet, most of you commenting here do not know the law that established CCT. The CCT does not belong to NJC neither did it take its instructions from CJN. CCT does not report to NJC hence, the only authority that's answerable to is the presidency as the Chairman has rightly said

Don't mind them, some even said the CCT is convicting whereas the CCT recommends disciplinary actions when a public official flouts the code of conduct. In essence they are a form of disciplinary committee monitoring accountability. The judicial system in Nigeria has been left to its vices for so long that this waltergate is the right wakeup call for them.

mybestlove:
One thing I'm sure about Atiku is that he has human feeling. I strongly believe that he will do well as the president of this country.

About Buhari, the people around him are the ones looking for our votes to continue milking Nigeria

Yes, this is what they said about Babangida too "oh this one is smiling a bit, he will be better than buhari" and he went on to rob us blind. History likes to repeat itself, it's up to us not to allow it.

gurunlocker:
Hope Benue people can reject him also, because his only achievement or infrastructural development in the state is the grave they dig for the slain people.

Is buhari the governor of benue state?

allisso:
one question :::which one don touch you?
all the trash u have mentioned above is nothing but SCAM
u need to grow up and learn how developed countries pull their people out of poverty and not all these poo you are stating

You do know that those developed countries have people who eat out of dumpsters and have nowhere to sleep and their government can't find a way to pull them out of that. Or you think all the streets in the US and UK are paved with Gold.

SoNature:
U are wrong!
This government told us they are paying those ones 5k every month
Tradermoni is the loan they give to traders 'to boost their businesses'
What can 10k do for the business of a man who sells bags of rice in the market?

Do you understand how loans work, even in microfinance banks where you get collateral free loans, you start small as low as 50k in some cases depending on your trade. This scheme is aimed at petty traders, it is interest free and no collateral, therefore there is a risk of it not being returned but when it is you get a higher value, it's a reward system and if they pay back early enough I'm sure there are other benefits. And for those saying 10k is chump change, when last did you give someone 10k and not feel it.

Malawian:
You think your emotional outburst impresses anyone? Is it not "Traders" that Osinbajo is personally sharing the money to? How much do you think traders pay for lock-up shop per month in the market?

Can you show me a picture or video where osinbajo personally counted 10,000 naira and gave it to one of the traders? I am waiting.

naijapips02:
So I did a little search on Google and found out that the crash scene captured actually happened in Mali on January the 22, 2019.

More evidence can be seen from the link below.

This whole thing is just suspicious. What is APC planning to gain from this?

https://www.bhaskar.com/videos/news/international/shocking-helicopter-crash-land-caught-on-camera-hd-video-361050.html

I don't even know what to term this as, you just spent your Sunday morning concocting a story in your mind. You could have spent this time resting but no, you had to spend the time trying to belittle this situation just because there were no deaths. So should the VP or the pilot have died to ensure it was real. And of what political benefit is an accident? I would be glad if you can expantiate on that.

feddis:
Most people will just jump on condemnation instead of trying to understand the whole reasons behind such decisions.
Buhari has made so many bright minds shallow in thoughts in this country.

The ammnesty proposed is a very dangerous idea that will be akin to patting people that embezzle funds meant for development. Say Mr A misappropriates funds meant for a healthcare facility, atiku is saying that if Mr A invests the money in the economy by building a business it is okay. How about the people that won't be able to access good healthcare as a result. Let's not even forget that he suggested a staute of limitations on corruption cases. It's like he is doing his best to tell us he will be corrupt and he will ensure his people will enjoy without repercussions.

surevik:
My question now is, “is Obasanjo a god”... Why should we really on the comments he made out of anger and hatred for Atiku, like he said and I quote “ they are to the best of my knowledge true" that was to his knowledge true and not necessary the truth. Get sense and help Baba St. Buhari go back to Daura and rest.

If I am to do business with an individual and I make enquiries from his former partner and that one tells me, right in the presence of said individual, that he is a corrupt individual, there is no way on Earth that business will take place. Obasanjo, as his former boss who would have been privy to a lot of things we wouldn't be, has written about atiku's corrupt tendencies extensively and atiku hasn't denied this, he only said he hasnt been convicted of anything. That obasanjo has now decided to forgive him for reasons best known to him doesn't in anyway mean atiku is suddenly no longer corrupt.

eyeview:
With regards to the interview with Ex Vice President Atiku and Gov Peter Obi moderated this night by Kadira, her performance tonight was quite abysmal.

1.There were deliberate attempts by kadira to demonize their persons and not issues. Extended it to their wives and even parents. But with Buhari, she stayed only on issues. Despite that, Atiku and Obi was able to come out shining like diamond thru the rough. Had this woman gone as brute on buhari/osibanjo as she did today, the federal govt would have found her asset declaration form by now.

2. The PDP candidates were clearly bared and even warned against any form of reference to buhari's govt or APC administration. But at the buhari/osibanjo interview, they had the freedom to take swipes on "16 years of PDP" as their excuse for everything.

3. She constantly cut off any answer that will help the PDP candidates market themselves or their policies. Once it appears Atiku or obi is building points from her question, she will terminate that question and go to another. But if it's one that she feels that can put them in trouble or humiliate them, she will keep coming back to it over and over again. Such was not experienced with the apc chat where a question will be lowered to almost kindergarten level before the president can grasp it. Most of the answers made by Buhari were clearly off the track from her questions but she let it slide.

4. There was a clear attempt to be rude to the guests and even the audience. May be she saw that as a way of showing her authority.

Frankly, in terms of journalism professionalism, she performed below average tonight. But the brilliance and sound responses of Atiku and Obi made up for her talk backs, snaps, rude interruptions etc

Your "assessment" is in no way objective, you're very obviously a PDP supporter. The audience was rowdy and clapped whenever the present administration was criticised. And she kept having to reemphasize her questions as the candidates kept veering off course.

Pekele007:
What has Buhari the dullard done with the little he got? What was he able to do with the loans and debts he accrued


PDP didn't achieve anything yet you are still breathing and using the internet. You need to go back to school asap.

Are you saying pdp brought internet to Nigeria, I always find this funny everytime I hear it. Mobile technology and the internet was always going to proliferate into Africa one way or another. If a plant has been the president of Nigeria since 1999, chances are that we would be where we are with mobile technology because of the inevitability. All we need from the Nigerian government is for them to fix power then you will see where we will be in 5 years.

MrSix:
Obi wasn't serious. For example, the N1=$1 bullshit. He picked it froM where?
Obi also said PDP never used N16bil on power. That it's a lie. She then interrupted him to be serious. She told him a 2008 report from NASS had that figure in document. What then did Obi resorted to? To compare with what APC has done.
Tell me how she was not to tell hiM to be serious? Obi wasn't and isn't serious at all. He was just there to impress himself. To answer questions plainly, he was busy finding a way out.

On why he is running with a conditate whose age range he once kicked about, he was talking about someone with experience. So he never knew this before making those statements? Obi didn't impress at all and hence Kadaria telling him to be serious was worth it. He clearly was shown be her to be unserious.

***Yeah...what led to the implication of her making a question out of it all was how they were busy throwing comparisons. On the power misappropriation, she asked that, so PDP only did less and as such should be voted as the lesser between two evils.

The rants online made me watch for myself and clearly those rants were fROM people who refuse to see or be logical.

KadariA did absolutely well. She was just good, perhaps too good. She was very logical.

This is what I have been saying to those saying kadaria was biased. She kept having to ask what PDP would do differently.

erico2k2:
Do act as if you cannot see sheis being partisan, Look she is attacking thier private and public life and up till now she has not suceeded in cornnering them,She is failing woefully there, by the way she is being fed research result on teh go, she is lying she looked up stuff b4 the interview, I also looked at how she attacked the Saraha reporters guy same.I bed you APC cannot cope with this kind of heat, I can assure you.I am even suprised Atiku got a clear definition of corruption, I thought he was going to guff!

When you say private and public life, I am going to take it as you referring to her questions concerning atiku's wife and her money laundering scandal and the question about Obi investing state funds in a business that his family has shares in. These are valid questions, that should be clarified by people aspiring for the highest office in Nigeria. When she was interviewing the APC and AAC candidates she was just as brutal and she was praised for it so why the double standard.

I wonder how kadaria can be tagged as biased when Atiku is an individual, we are all aware, surrounded by a lot of controversies and scandals. If you were expecting her to not ask questions about this, you shouldn't have bothered watching. Atiku and Obi deflected as expected causing her to rehash the questions.

anthony86:
That shows he was accused in error because his accuser has see the incident currently from a better perspective.

Wow! Talk about taking the goalpost away.

mrjojo:
because she is asking the tough questions? Have you watched Amanpour before??

When she got buhari stammering and told osinbajo not to speak for him she wasn't biased. I love kadaria!!

I have never seen so much nonsense put together in a write-up before. Obasanjo is inadvertently telling us that while atiku is a thief, he has changed from his ways now and we should handover our future to him as he would perform. I don't think the writing on the wall can be clearer, the plan is to rape Nigeria's resources and sell off what remains.

Staro:
Shebi this same story was put on the homepage yesterday.

https://www.nairaland.com/4984592/femi-falana-reacts-cjn-onnoghen

Today, our APC-zombiefied mods simply reframed the title
and still take it to homepage again

Falana just said this on a channels program, Sunday politics with Seun okinbaloye, not quite 30 minutes ago.

naijapips04:
Onnoghen is not been tried on a criminal case. No body is disputing how he got monies in his account, if not you would have had EFCC and ICPC gruelling him.

The case is about a mere declaration of asset.

APC and their devilish croonies are trying to turn in around into a criminal case which it isn't.

When in 2015 Osibanjo a mere judge in a,state declared almost $1 million in his bank account, how come nobody questioned how he got them?

The CCT trial is not a corruption trial.

Osinbajo was never a judge, he was a senior partner in commercial law firm.

HigherEd:
Your brain is dysfunctional. According to Nigerian law there is no provision for the suspension of a CJN by any court in the land. He can only be removed by an impeachment initiated by NJC, Senate and Presidency. No court can effect the suspension of the CJN just like no court can effect the suspension of the president. He likewise can only be impeached regardless of the weight of any accusations against him.

Constitutions are founded as the backbone of any democracy, if you feel it is too slow then apply for it to be amended. That is how to begin the fight against corruption, not by going around the constitution. Donald Trump and many americans don't like the 14th amendment of the US which guarantees citizenship to all immigrant children born on visit to the US but they well understand that the constitution is a sacred document and can't simply be ignored.

Even when your president went on 107 days holiday in UK, nobody declared his seat vacant when they had some constitutional backings to do so.

Now don't be daft, everything trump is doing is very much constitutional within the confines of US law less he would have been impeached so don't compare rubbish.

Disregarding the constitution of Nigeria is far worse an act of corruption than looting public funds because it is an invitation to anarchy and civil unrest.

Walter onnoghen was an appointed public official, a civil servant, so therefore while it might require the NASS and NJC to sack him from office, suspending him is possible legally. Especially in a situation where he flouted the rules in the code of conduct governing all public officials both elected and appointed. He himself admitted to this coupled with his ruling in 2013 where he stated that the CCT has power over all public officials.

JusticeSeeker:
A lower court judgement superseding the Supreme Court's?

Many of those supporting onnoghen aren't well-informed about the laws of the land, they only swallow whatever they read from PDP statements and regurgitate it after mixing it with silly sentiments.

PaChukwudi44:
And who said the funds cannot be explained? What poo are you smoking?

Then what's your gripe with the system asking its officers questions? You can go back to the trash you're smoking now.

PaChukwudi44:
This Buhari regime is useless.The thing is that all this mumu blackmail will never make him resign.

How can a government agency go through someone's financial history and goes ahead to leak it to the press without carrying out any investigations!!!?

It is not a crime to deposit money in bank.It is not a crime to invest your money.It is not a crime to legitimately acquire FG's property.

This mimu.blackmails will not work.

Justice Onnogen will remain the CJN whether the APC likes it or not

So the fact that a Judge has funds that cannot be explained in his accounts doesn't worry you. Funds that mean at some point he must have perverted justice one way or another. And mind you, someone of his Calibre would have presided over cases that would have indirect effects on you and I. But all you're worried about is why they are looking into his accounts. It's such a pity.

ceejayMAX:
This anoda reason I love messi,he does not get involved in illegal doinzzzz.

Who told you messi doesn't have his own tax evasion palaver. It's very common with big players in Spain.

This is what they mean when they say "may you rmouth not get you into trouble". I hope dino will learn from this and not peddle false information in order to whip up sentiments after this.

tete7000:
I think you asked a question and I answered it? Maybe you didn't even know what your question implied, you just asked so that it can be said you too can ask questions.

You answered in a naive way so that it can be said that you are able to answer questions even when you don't get the context of the question.

I'm highly disappointed with the way Nigerian youths are reasoning nowadays. How can you say because he hired the lobbyist before becoming presidential candidate, it means it's a lie. Is the position of a lobbyist not to run until the goal is achieved? And won't atiku have made plans towards becoming president. Sentiments have clouded our ability to think.

tete7000:
The crime was committed when Fayose was yet a governor but a common man, while at that time Obanikoro was a minister entrusted with Commonwealth which rather than protected, he whittled away.

I don't get your point, these funds were embezzled in a bid to make fayose a governor which he became. The other party in the scandal was arrested and he chose to make a deal so that the governor with immunity can be prosecuted when his term is over. How does the time the funds were embezzled matter in this situation?

tete7000:
Who do you think the bigger criminal is? Fayose or Obanikoro? The man who gave out the money he is officially employed to manage or the man he gave the money to?

So an ex-minister is a bigger fish than an ex-Governor? Okay.
