The question I for one is still bothered with is that where was APC when PDP was shouting there is violence in southern ijaw lg. Were they busy rigging? And the electoral law say you must score 25% of the votes in all local govt. Has Sylva done that? The apc ba wa oooooo. Am not sure how you guys will survive 2019.

Reality has dawn on dickson!
Sylvia didn't perform when he was the governor, tha same sylvia came back and he's giving you a run for your money head to head.

You ought to be ashamed Dickson.
Its just like lucky Igbindion coming back to win an election.
Dickson bury ur head in shame,if you had done well,Sylvia won't get one vote.

U call this a run for his money? Daylight robbery I honestly lost faith in this democracy. Its simply a call for anarchy. Why on earth are this guys behaving like this. Innocent people will die for your selfish reasons.

How did Saharsreporters find this information. This evidence is not permissible in any court. It was obtained illegally and all Dino has to do is deny it, and switch to swiss Banks. After all he is a wealthy man.


Saharareporters been in the US does not protect you. You need to know that, if the Nigerian govt desires you out - so shall it be. All it takes is one phone call, thread very cautiously. The world is changing

Ao this I all you care to say in a case of money laundary and violation of public trust. No wonder the party apc deals with sentiments on all sides of their dealings. U guys should just make sure that you jail everyone in pdp cos when it comes to their turn you will not like what they will do to you guys.

The Governor of Bayelsa State and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Mr. Seriake Dickson, Sunday morning, reportedly forced his way into the collation centre of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in Onopa, Yenagoa LGA.

The Sylva/Igiri Campaign Organisation (SICO) said Dickon stormed the place at about 11pm Saturday night and threatened to ‘deal seriously’ with agents of the APC, Chief Werinipre Seibarugu, former Deputy Governor and Mr. Fortune Panebi, State Publicity Secretary of the APC.

SICO’s Director, Media and Publicity, Chief Nathan Egba said the action of Dickson was clearly against the electoral law as he had no authority as a candidate to go to the Yenagoa Collation Centre especially as he was not from the LGA.

He alleged that the governor, who threatened to deal with the two APC agents, was at the collation centre to manipulate results being collated from different wards in Yenagoa.

He said: “The APC agents were said to have countered the moves by the PDP to manipulate the results that had been turned-in before some aides to the Governor alerted him of the developments at the Yenagoa Collation centre.

“The APC decided to raise the alarm and place the information in the public domain as the Governor’s desperation in the face of imminent defeat is such that he is ready all electoral laws”, he said.

He said fresh reports further indicated that the governor early morning in Sunday led a large delegation to Oporoma, headquarters of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, to protest against the rescheduled election.

He said: “Governor Dickson is from Sagbama Local Government Area and has no basis going to monitor conduct of an election in another Local Government Area on an election day in line with the electoral guidelines.

“This is clearly an act of desperation by the Governor, who is the candidate of the PDP in the election.

“Dickson, in company of the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mr. Kombowei Benson, who is from the LGA reportedly met with INEC officials on the ground and told them not to go ahead with the poll.

“The INEC officials had reportedly told the Governor, he had no powers to stop the election.

“Governor Dickson was the chief sponsor of violent attacks in most of the communities.”

The apc guys wants to manipulate the result. That ua why up till now the results from different collation centres have not been announced. Had it been that the apc was leading you would have seen results everywhere.

The bill is not about banning social media or blogging. The government even lacks the ability and infrastructure to do that. The bill is about making people accountable and responsible for what they say or share. It affects everybody including government. If you share information or break news,you should be able to prove it or refer or trace it.

Thanks bros I will research more and revert

Image123:
Come to think of it, i think passage of the bill would encourage critical thinking. It's high time our youths stopped frivolity and propaganda, and embrace responsibility, integrity and truth.

@image123
You think so abi. I quite agree with you that there is all tendencies for youths generally to react to issues but the truth of the matter is that adults nowadays have so much to hide and that is why you see all just resurrect with billions in their accounts overnight. Now tell me why and how will a young man not want to involve in yahoo + uno I mean now so that they can live large like those who steal money. Banning is not an option they should create a unit where you can register as a blogger then read and digest the not to be violated rules and make some money to feed your family.

The rights of Taraba FC players was yesterday trampled upon, as soldier numbering over eleven brutalized the players for besieging the government in protest over non payment of their eleven months salaries.

The players claimed they were yet to be paid their remunerations and match bonus by the state government. They stormed the Government House at about 7a.m on a peaceful protest, preventing both staffs and political appointees from gaining access into the premises. But they met a brick wall, as the soldiers drafted into the arena by the state government gave the footballers serious beating.

Government activities in the government house as at the time of this report was on a standstill, as top government functionaries are running up and down seeking for way of persuading the players.

Among top government functionaries who could not gain access to the government house yesterday includes the Special Adviser to the Governor on Security, Col. Wunike Agyo, Special Adviser on Rural Development, Mammud Abubakar, the Chief Protocol Officer, Kabiru Marafa, Chief Press Secretary, Hassan Mijiyawa and the Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Governor, Lawal Sani Kona.

Speaking with newsmen, the team captain, Kelvin Njoku, expressed dismay at the “deliberate” refusal of the state government to “pay us our salaries for the past eleven months.”

Apart from the salaries, which he said the state government has “refused to pay in spite of the bailout given to them by the federal government,” the government, Njoku said “has also refused to pay us our match bonuses.”

It was learnt that the military, who have been keeping vigil in the state capital, were ushered into the government house armed with horsewhip, and the riffles and manhandled the players who vowed to remain in the government house pending when their demands are meant.

Earlier, the Chief of staff to the government, Rebo Usman said the government was aware of their plights, adding that machineries have been put in place to pay them.

If this happens then Saraki and his senators will be in for it as the good people of Nigeria will not tolerate any form of invasion or impunity on freedom of speech. However, the electorate should learn a lesson of not only focusing on the executives alone but focus more on this g@@d for nothing legislators during the election.!!!

Keep deceiving yourself. They are gradually spreading their tentacles of supressing the youths instead of job creation. Now the zeal and interest to say your views on political issues will die a sudden death in the lives of Nigerian youths. Those making legit money from online blog will be in for it. The truth is that most of this people are still in a state of confusion as to how and where Nigerian youths gets all their secrets. Anyway all I have heard all my life is that the youths are the strength of any nation but one of our politician don talk say over population is the real strength of any nation. Instead of empowering the youths we are busy breading poverty and giving birth to armed robbers and pen robbers.

But on a more serious note, timi alaibe was not allowed by silver to take part in the party primaries. Sylva disrupted the primaries when they saw what was going to happen. However it was gov. Oshiomole that conducted the primary in which hw claimed Silva behaves like an uncultured man. So timi alaibe is free to deflect.

Democracy where are thou

APC = CHANGE! "the real change we demanded for". No freedom of information again.
I only pity young Nigerian youths who are yet to come in terms with reality but are si good in constructing abusive big grammatical words just for the fun of hearing their views. Why not this house prepare a superior bill that will criminalize public funds diversion, embezzlement and misappropriation. All they care for that will shut the mouth of any young man. Out of every lies, there is an iota of truth.

Stop pretending to be 'unbiased'. You are supporting this failure of a Governor.

Dasuki was prevented from flying overseas because he is wanted on other charges and is a flight risk. He was re-arrested on other charges, not the ones he was bailed for

The DSS has been in charge of Dasuki's case because his case heavily involved national security and involves a number of high profile individuals. This will be a joint investigation between the DSS and the EFCC

Lamorde, Kingsley Kuku and several others have fled overseas all in the name of 'medical checkup' to escape prosecution. With such an established history of suspects fleeing prosecution, why are you surprised that the FG was extremely reluctant to allow Dasuki travel?

Our dear friend,it equally means you have neither been following the court proceedings that allowed dansuki travelled out of the country.the lawyer was said to stand in gap for him and produce him on the day the court will reconvene. This primarily means that any attempt to dansuki ti jump bail, his lawyer will be in soup. So FG was wrong in flouting the court order.
However let me help you domesticate the serial implications of flouting court orders. It equally means police officers will arrest, detain and detain a suspect even when a court of competent jurisdiction has vindicated the person
so I hope you now see that the innocent poor man will loose most when there is a powerful man pulling the strings from behind.

zico530:
Fayose always on point

Here we go again. I wonder how some of our friends here reason. Its disgraceful enough to note that some APC members alleged for misappropriation and embezzlement and stealing of public funds are now roaming the country as free men. Anyway I wish Buhari picks 2PDP men and 1,APC man for beach trials

gretblue:
With all this information available to you coupled with the police investigation.You are still here ranting.Your types are ones who early commented that Buhari sent those people to assassinate Jonathan.The question is how long will you continue to form Mugu for Nigeria journalism?

@gretblue i suppose you are a liitle bit educated to know that I never mentioned Buhari neither did I mention assassination in my write up. Why then on earth have you descended this low to twist my opinion. I still maintain the fact that what would have made those guys run after a vehicle in a convoy. I wonder how and where you grew up. Anyway keep blaming Jonathan and Buhari for your deficiencies you need to learn common reasoning and not just jump from one football viewing center to comment on NL. National liability

Excuzeme:
Jonathan is not worth any attention, not to talk of killing him?

Ask you foolish self: What would be gained in killing such a daft slowpoke whose only use as of today, is to amuse Nursery school children as the Dictionary definition of a "mo.ron"?

His Ogogoro drinking is what will eventually kill him

@excuzeme but at least the guy is still better than everything produced in your li***na*gtwist put together. You may also love to ask yourself that is not foolish that how many of my family people from great grand father to my almost irre*****sible self has attained the post of a local government councillor not to talk off a whole president of a country. Anyway I would have sympathise with your people cos you are lucky to be alive today just because of his singular effort to peacefully hand over the government to another man without war. Take it or leave it "Jonathan is the reason why people like you still exist" war drummer...

koboko69:
If only people know any one close to this monster and his family just a little. Highly indebted man, who lavishes money on women globally. This guy imports babes from anywhere in the world while he and his son live the life on private yachts.
If he drops dead today....thats the end of Silver Bird cos the government which supports his bisiness to collect loans and contracts is no more.

Where was he when Jonathan was in power......he suddenly became an attack dog fighting for Nigeria cos his friends and allies are no longer in the scheme of things.

Smh

My friend stop the attack on personality pls attack the issue. Ure also part of the many problems of the country. How does your argument affects the numbers of meat you consume in your closet.

missKiffy:
Bayelsa state police command has released the 4 men accused of allegedly crashing into the convoy of Former President Goodluck Jonathan in Bayelsa earlier today. Police investigations indicated that the men wrongly joined GEJ's convoy thinking it was that of Timipre Sylva who they were on the road campaigning with ahead of Saturday's guber election in Bayelsa. They were released after investigations showed the allegations made against them were unfounded.

Jonathan's security should have gunned those guys down cos they neither see anything that has to do with apc/ silver. They should be further investigated and apc be held responsible should anything happens to jonathan

Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, says Osun State received only N55m from the Federation Account for the month of September, 2015. He said the money could not even settle the electricity bill of the government secretariat. The governor said the development was evidence that Nigeria was experiencing an economic meltdown.

He, therefore, called on residents of the state to return to agriculture as oil could no longer sustain the nation’s economy. The governor said this during the inauguration of the new Ife/Orile-Owu 33KV feeder line at Orile-Owu in Ayedaade Local Government Area of the state, according to a statement on Sunday.

The governor said that apart from the price issue, crude oil was no longer selling as fast as it used to, adding that Nigeria must seek other sources of revenue.

He said, “We must at this point tell ourselves the truth; there is no money coming from the Federation Account, 34 million barrels of Nigeria’s crude oil are on the sea without buyers.“Money coming from the Federation Account has reduced seriously and our hope of survival is in our hands, what our forefathers lived on was agriculture.

“We must now go back to the farms and work. We also need to pay our taxes so that the government can meet its responsibilities. For September, our state got N55.8 million. The money we received cannot pay for the power supply by IBEDC that we use at the state secretariat monthly.

“I want to use this opportunity to admonish us to return to the farms, what we used to rely on as a country and state is no longer there. Oil prices have now dropped seriously, even at about $41 per barrel from a price of over$ 100; Nigeria still cannot sell her oil in the international market.”The governor said his administration recently gave hectares of land to the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture for farming and with the electrification of Orile-Owu and other farm settlements, there would be a boost in agriculture around these areas. He urged the people of the state to pay their taxes to the government to discharge its duties.

However, the Peoples Democratic Party said the receipt of a paltryN55m by Osun State as the allocation from the Federation Account for the month of September was a confirmation that the state was highly indebted.

The spokesperson for the PDP in Osun State, Mr. Diran Odeyemi, who said this in a statement on Sunday, stated that the allocation remained N55m after deductions of over N1bn to service its debts were made from the source.

The PDP stated that the people of the state should know why Osun State got a paltry N55m while those in the same category with it got about N2bn.

The statement read, “We have been saying it long before now that Osun State has been slaughtered and eaten up by a gluttonous administration that has been in power in the last five years. The gimmick early this year was ‘Jonathan didn’t give Osun money’ but now, that cannot sell again, hence the confession.

“Before the confession by Ogbeni Aregbesola, three Nigerian newspapers on Friday, November 20, published an allocation table and Osun got N55m, after all deductions, and came last. The next state to Osun among the least earners got N1.5bn.

“What other signs do we need to see that Osun has completely fallen into a recession? But the people of Osun deserve to know from their leader how the state got into this quagmire. This leads us to the question of how much Osun owes. Mr. Governor said the state owes N88bn. But we insist the amount is far more than this.”The party warned the governor against slamming high taxes on the people of the state, adding that the administration had already impoverished the people with its policies.

In a separate statement, the Civil Society Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State also said that Aregbesola’s administration had no right to collect any taxes from the people ofthe state because of its failure to comply with the sections of the constitution which stipulates conditions for the collection of taxes.

The chairman of the group, Mr. Sulaiman Adeniyi, said this in a statement made available to our correspondent on Sunday.

He said the policies of the government had led to the total collapse of the economy of the state and accused the administration of massive corruption and failure to perform its duties to the people.

http://dailyindependentnig.com/2015/11/30/osuns-federal-allocation-cant-pay-electricity-bill-aregbesola/

When it was paying and you had excess what exactly did you do with the allocation given to you. Keep deceiving urself .

Supporters of James Faleke and Yahaya Bello, both of the All Progressives Congress, are currently engaged in a violent face-off, at the party’s secretariat in Abuja.

Faleke and Bello are the favourites to replace the deceased Audu Abubakar, as the party’s candidate’s in the Kogi governorship supplementary election of Saturday, December 5.



Bello was the second runner-up to the late Audu, in the party’s primary election while Faleke was Audu’s running mate in the governorship election of November 21.
