Marvin67:
This is a clear explanation of the implication of Buhari's stand on the release of Dasuki and Kanu.
Let's assume you were having a stroll around Asokoro, with your friends and discussing politics as usual, in the heat of the argument, you refer to president Buhari as the Daura President and other names as people usually do in nairaland.
Meanwhile the presidents convoy is passing by, and somehow the president's security team hears your comment, you get arrested, taken to court, the court sets you free, but you don't get released simply because Buhari believes you are guilty and you must get jailed for life. I hope you'd keep praising him then.
Remember what goes around comes around .
A president was once pelted with stones in Nigeria, and he didn't even order the arrest of the people.

The hypocrisy in this matter is that those who are supporting Buhari in all this, are the same ones who were jubilating when a sitting president was been pelted with stones, if that president had the mind of Buhari, all those who pelted him with stones would have been shot dead immediately or sent to jail for life. Would the people supporting Buhari today have supported Jonathan if he had done that?

Imagine someone pelting Buhari's convoy with stones. Just imagine what would happen.
If you support injustice today, there may be no one left to fight for you when injustice chooses to fight you.

babyfaceafrica:
this people only talk for themselves,they don't talk for everyone,everyone is free to choose wherever he wants,se someone like oliseh who said it publicly he is not igbo

PassingShot:
What is there in the #BudgetOfYam to give anyone a leepless time?

If anything, the president will use a question in that regard to make haters look so daft and stewpid.

He has N114million for feeding in one year compared to GEJ's N1bn and you think his is too much?

omenka:
You sound really pained. What could possibly be giving you such misery??

omenka:
Na lie, you be Igbo man.

Muhammed's uncle was not a muslim till dealth yet he live in peace with Muhammed

FisifunKododada:
In order to have a case against the police you have to have evidence (preferably video) that show that he was killed by the cops without provocation, resisting arrest and threatening them.

omenka:
How much was oil being sold then? How much is it today??

From 1999 when PDP took over the reigns of power to 2015, the price of oil more than quadrupled on the average- did we see a corresponding growth in the economy??

I think the only industry that witnessed such massive growth as the price of oil is corruption.

I imagine what Buhari did with a few nairas saved from a reduction in subsidy when he oversaw PTF. Now, imagine what he could have done had he been given access to all Jonathan had access to as president... Just imagine that..

Decided to look up the site and was wondering what the "illuminati" graphic is doing there. Is that their logo or something?? Then I saw that all their stories follow one dimension- they are anti Buhari/Government and pro PDP and Biafra. I think this is another "BreakingTimes.com".

Mynd44, Seun, Lalasticlala, take note. These guys are trying to still promote all Rule9 forbids under a different cloak. Keep peeled eyes on them.

politricks:
You should have checked for the meaning of 'missing' before attempting to answer my question. Even the person i asked doesn't have an answer for it.

Jesumed:
As patriotic Nigerians,we should'nt shut our eyes to sensitive issues that bother our nation. It is expected that everyone plays an active role in the socio-political activities of the country. This is where Seun Osewa, founder of Nigeria's largest online site, disappointed Nigerians when he threatened to ban all comments regarding a very sensitive issue staring us in the eyes- the sudden uprising and agitation for Biafra.

politricks:
Tell me how much has been missing so far in this administration?

TonyeBarcanista:
Guy what are you saying? Am I the one that told you to publish fake news? Which church did you hear Oyeikan speaking such? Is it Igberetv Catholic Church? You can't get a thing through propaganda my friend. I have busted lots of lies from Igberetv blog.

BTW: Na who be the enemy of your enemy? Shift jare

madridguy:
You don't enter into a gun battle with a security man and expect him not to shut you dead. The man need to re brand himself and talk to his member on how to behave with security agent. 3 sons under GEJ, 3 again under PMB, so pathetic.

Rawani:
More like dishonesty is clouding your understanding.
The charges were dropped by the FG and the case struck out, to enable the charges to be upgraded by the same FG.

I saw nothing relating to unconditional release in that report.

TonyeBarcanista:
The source is a blogsite. On googling of some of the excerpts, no credible news agency published it. The only site that published it is another biafran blogsite, igberetv.com. On clicking the igberetv link, you will observe that the layout of Igbere blogsite look similar to that of the blogsite that published the content.

DSS charges Kanu to court...

DSS/FG withdraws charges against Kanu at the lower court...for a higher court, which has jurisdiction to entertain charges bordering on terrorism, to take over.

Is the wise cardinal missing something?

theshield:
He said igbos are marginalized. In what way? i dont know why igbos shamelessly keep saying this. igbos are the ones planting seed of hate in their young generation.

1. I WANTED TO READ THIS GUY QUESTION WHAT SE GOVERNORS DO WITH THEIR ALLOCATION?
2. WHEN SENATE SHARED MONEY, DID THEY EXCLUDE HIM?
3. NORTH HAS MORE MINISTERS WITHOUT PORTFOLIO COMPARED TO SE.
[s]4. IGBOS HAVE MORE FEDERAL CIVIL SERVANTS.[/s] you believed this because one fool wrote that on his twitter page while removing police, army, custom, immigration and some important parastatal from civil service

Too much of everything is bad. Too much talk means nothing.

PDP is full of dreamers, wallahi!

Whenever I see 'rebranding PDP', I fall short of words..how do you intend to do that to a dead party undergoing its funeral rites? ... I mean, what is there to rebrand in PDP?

PassingShot:
You're a joke.

EFCC is not your regular police. It has the power to arrest you based on evidence of financial crimes about you at their disposal.

Check your facts, ECA was $47.7bn when Fortunato took over.

All other things you spewed are gibberish.

[b]“It is absolutely not true that the Administration of President Goodluck Jonathan has squandered the nation’s reserves”, it said, maintaining that “at the end of May 2007, Nigeria’s gross reserves stood at $43.13 billion – comprising the CBN’s external reserves of $31.5 billion, $9.43 billion in the Excess Crude Account, and $2.18 billion in Federal Government’s savings. These figures can be independently verified from the CBN’s records”, insisting that “the figure of $67 billion cited in some recent commentary is therefore factually incorrect”.

The statement further added that “it is a misconception to think that reserves are immutable or cast in stone. The reality is that since May 2007, the reserves have fluctuated in line with developments in the international oil market, rising from $43.13 billion at that time, peaking at $62 billion in September 2008 during the Yar’adua/Jonathan Administration when oil prices reached a peak of $147 per barrel, and falling subsequently to a low of $31.7 billion in September 2011″.

Akpobolokemi was gently asked to come with the police who has gone to arrest him on different matter from those which he was granted bail and he resisted arrest. No where in the world will anyone resisting arrest be treated better than what those policemen did to him. He could easily have been seriously injured. In fact, such resistance is another crime entirely.

As for the state of economy, sensible persons know that what we're going through today is a result of our bad decisions from many years ago. Decision to waste our unprecedented dollars earned from crude sale with noth much to show for it.
Decision to plunder our ECA to an abysmal level of $29bn from $47bn that GEJ met it instead of growing it.
