PoliticsAllow Rule Of Law To Prevail, Onaiyekan Tells Buhari by ledamaster(op): 12:05pm On Jan 30, 2019
Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja
The Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to allow the rule of law prevail in the matter involving the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja on the eve of his 75th birthday anniversary, the clergy said it is wrong for anyone to undermine the Constitution of Nigeria which is the basis of the Nigerian nation.
Onaiyekan while reacting to the suspension saga said: “One thing is certain, the action taken if you approve it or not has created a lot of bad blood, created a lot of dust in our political atmosphere.
“What I am trying to say is that something has happened that should not have happened at all. Let nobody tell me that the rule for removing a chief justice of the federation is not clear,” he said.

Onaiyekan said that the situation is giving the impression that Nigeria does not have a clear law, adding that this is not good for the country.
“If it is so unclear with the judiciary, what will happen to the legislature? Since the executive has the ownership of power including military power they obviously have an edge over the other two arms of government, but the entire system cannot stand unless the three are standing well.
“My hope is that with the amount of ingenuity Nigerians have and all these great legal luminaries in no time within the next week or so, we will arrive at some conclusion which will enable the country to move forward on this matter.
“But I think we should decide what our law says and we should hold everybody accountable to obey the law. Even President Muhammadu Buhari must follow the law,” he said.

Yet our Yoruba brothers are worshiping someone who still maintains ancestory with Niger. This is why he care not if the country burns down, this is why his brothers are killing Nigerians and he is making up excuses.

I have one question for you, tell me one country in the world where there is no corruption, there is no way it can be stamped out totally, but it can be reduced to the barest minimum, what obj fought then was not corruption, because he himself is the king of thieves
just read what you just wrote. do i need to pointbout glaring corruptiin case in Buharis govt? The real king of thieves now is Buhari. Buhari friends are Akpabio, (24billion efcc case), Osibanjo (5.8billion idp funds missing), Tinubu ( drug baron, looting of IGR and Cert. forgeries. ) Fashola (173million borehole contracts. looting of IGR) Ameacchi (sales of $350million River power planta sales proceeeds), Oshomole(4.5billion Petisiion),. Abba kyari (award of 24billion USDollars oil lifting and services contracts without due process, 3.5billion Aso rock clinic looting ) Malami( reinstatement of maina, attempt to get paid by proxxy legal fees of the abacha loots). Should i continue?
Buhari can and will never fight corruption simply because he lacks the capacity to prosecute his friends, family and associates. You can argue frm here to congo, every senseble human being knws Buhari is not fight corruption. We have survived and gone past dispots and tyrants, we wil neverballow any bigot to throw us back to the dark ages. Buhari wants to rule like Abacha, and we shall resist him.

This people are part of the problems we have in this country, in the fight against corruption sometimes we need to forget due process, because due process can also be corrupted, in a country where the judiciary works like the speed of a snail, and can be bribed to avert justice, what is judiciary in it again. Bubu you have the support of the millions of sensible and highly intelligent Nigerians.
Obasanjo like Buhari also claim to be fighting corruption. if people like us who stood up against him then didnt do so, and allowed him to suspend the rule of law, Tinubu would have been jailed, opposing voices lik Buhari woukd have been assasinated and none of you senseless bunch would have the freedom to insukt jonathan or attempt to remove him. Just because you want to have your ways cos you support the man now, the laws of the labd should be suspended. How stupid can people reason? The entire kaws should be tossed aside why? for who? a president thatvhas refused to take responsibilities after thousands of soldiers were killed under his watch? Somekne that values cows over human lives? A president that dines and wines with corrupt people? Just because you want to advance your wicked agenda and to justofy the stipends they pay ypu, we should abandone our laws?. Buhari has never and never will fight corruption. A man himself is corrupt and sectional can never fight corruption. Babachir is still walking free. Maina is still walking free, Ameachi, Fashola and Tinubu are all around him. We refuse the attempt. the excuse to use the fighting corruption to suspend the law is a very well known method of entrenching dictatorship. Buhari has so far not prove to is he has the capacity, fairness and resolve to fight corruption. They accuse all that oppose them of corruption, then.use that as an excuse to over rule the rule of law or to suspend the constitution so that they can do as they Please. Buhari lacks the moral compass, If Baru and kyari can award contracts worth 24billion Us Dollars with out due process and yet Buhari is comfortabkee working wit them only shows Buhari is also corrupt.

If Building Nigeria means appointing only those who are of thesame ethno religious with you,
if buildibg Nigeria means valuibg cattles over human beings,
if rebuilding Nigeria means Handing the whole structure of the country to your section of the country.
If it means not taking responsibilities for your actions,in actions and incompetence.
If it means not keeping to your words,
if it mean taking Nigeria backbto the era where only the hausa fulanis is in charge of all security structures.
If it means budgeting less for education. but more on propaganda media.

if it means over 80% of MDA not submitting their books to the auditor generals for auditing and checks, am talking a disregard for auditing of theor account.

Then we will all agree. Buhari os not building anything a man that cant even run a business deapite being pet minister, Chairman PTF and Head of state and still cant run a business. such a man can never build anything.
What Buhari is building is the crip of the North in controlling power. Buhari wants to take Nigeria back to the military era where every agencies are manned by Fulanis.

Makarfi, Ashiru, others deplore El-Rufai’s poor governance in Kaduna.
PDP candidate pledges to revive state
Standard-Bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) in Kaduna State , Isa Ashiru, yesterday blamed Governor Nasir El - Rufai for poor governance and backwardness of the state .
Ashiru, who promised to return the state to the path of development and unity , spoke at a campaign rally in Zonkwa and Kachia, in Zango Kataf Local Government Area .A former governor of the state , Ahmed Makarfi, assured party supporters that Ashiru would return the state to peace , unity and development, if elected.
Also speaking at the rally , a former Aviation Minister and Kaduna State PDP Chairman , Felix Hassan Hyat , lamented that El - Rufai has plunged the state into hunger and kidnapping. He said : “I feel sorry for Kaduna State now that hunger, killings , large scale job losses and absence of development has been the trade mark of the APC under El -Rufai .
“When you vote for Ashiru, the PDP will take Kaduna State from its present backwardness and tyranny of power , to the days when the PDP constructed roads , built schools , hospitals , and provided rural areas with electricity and many more .”
Makarfi, a former Chairman, Caretaker Committee of the PDP , explained: “ When we came to power in 1999 , we found out then that Col . Hameed Ali , now Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs Service ( NCS) , had sacked workers in large numbers , but we returned most of them .
“When you vote for Ashiru, our presidential candidate , Atiku Abubakar and all our candidates, we shall return most of you who lost your jobs , and we shall ensure that we continue PDP ’ s trademark , which is unity , security and development. ”
Running mate to Ashiru, representative of Zangon Kataf /Jaba Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Sunday Marshal Katung , cautioned against what he described as “ later day love , ” for the people. Katung expressed disappointment that the All Progressives Congress ( APC) is known for arrogance, deceit, and marginalisation of non-party members , as well as contempt for the people of Zango Kataf .
“Never trust them now that they are wooing you with later day love . If they never loved you for nearly four years, is it now that they will respect and treat you well when you return them to a final lap of four years?” he asked . Immediate past governor of the state , Dr. Mukhtar Ramalan Yero , and former Minister of Environment , Mrs . Laurentia Mallam expressed confidence that Zangon Kataf people would vote for the PDP .

Abi they didn't go on annual leave ni?

I am really disturbed by the reasoning on this forum.
if you were sensable, you woukd stop lying., cos before their second term rift, thats apporx. Between 1999- 2003. Atiku was adjudged the most powerful man in Nigeria. Cos while OBJ was travelling all over the world to get them to forgive our debts, Atiku was in charge of running the affairs of the country. Atiku was able to build his own structures simply because OBJ was not even domiciled in the country. It became so obvious when most governors in the rulling PDP, opposing AD and ANPP prefered to go see Atiku than OBJ. everything one wanted to be done, Release of funds, project and ehat not, they went to Atiku. Thisbis why there was a bond between even Tinubu and Atiku. Problem started when Most governors like Uzor Kalu,Igbenadiom Jolly Nyame and co started pressuring Atiku to just declare they would all support him. Atiku declined abd remained loyal. Those who werr jealous of Atikus success, went and poisoned the mind of OBJ thats why OBj has been fighting Atiku ever sense.
Not every one is myopic, naive and uninformed bros. You claim to be old and enlightened, yet you are here spreading falsehood.
Not even Tinubu can deny h
that Atiku didnt help him as Lagos Governor when OBJ wanted to deal decisively with him. Atiku was furnishibg Tinubu with infos of OBJ moves. All of these cant be made public now, simply because it will damage the reconciliation they both had recently..

Ofuzo:
This your narrative you keep repeating is false and I'll keep reminding you it's false every chance I get. You talked about unjust development in owerri which is worse than the the other 36 states of the federation. Like I said a million times, this is not true. There's no other city nigeria that have developed rapidly as owerri in the last seven years since okorocha came to power. Absolutely none.

Sure, a lot of people don't like okorocha for one reason or the other, but the man came in and started building stuff. I personally don't like him for other reasons too, like not awarding contracts to reputable contractors who will do really very good job. But I like the guy for his free education system (the first in the SE) and more importantly, his urban renewal projects in owerri. There MUST be urban renewal projects in nigeria because, from day one, we practically built everything the wrong way. The urban renewal projects in owerri is far from being perfect, but it's better than nothing. Let's at least give credit to okorocha for thinking about this novel idea.

In the US, the one single barometer that is used to judge the rebirth of cities are urban renewal projects. I witnessed it first hand in Washington DC. By the late eighties, the city was dead, after an exodus of white people to the rapidly developing suburbs that started in the 60's. When this happened, the black population of the city shot up to 75% The city started coming back to life when this trend of moving to the suburbs by it's wealthy white residents were reversed in the late 90%'s. Today, with the city population being about 50% white and 50% black, the urban renewal which has continued unabated is a wonder to behold. Vast dilapidated areas of the city, especially around capitol hill with it's new baseball and soccer stadium are now full of mixed used developments.

Anybody living in DC in the eighties and today can hardly believe the turnaround. DC is back to being a world class city once again.
Just reread what you wrote. Every thibg you claim Rochas has done were done in Owerri. Not a single worthy project in Orlu. Pls go and compare it to what happened when they opened up the so called Area U. All Orlu needs is some of the institutions moved there, Like IMSU. A general and specialist Hospital or profession civil service Training institute.
Thing is why cant Orlu be allowed to have the entire IMSU? with that university there is no how That town and environs cant expabd and grow. Rochas might have tried in Owerri but its shameful when one decides to drive to outskirts. This is why certain interests have decided that the Owerri zone will.never be allowed to rule. Its only when people like you starts speaking truth and demanding equity and fairness, thats the only time others would also accept that they should be allowed to govern. Me am not here to fight, but state the fact. I was in Owerri recently, and was really impressed by what i saw, but a few minutes drive out side the city was really an eye opener. very pathetic to state the least. I teust this is why The Orlu and Okigwe Zones are rooting for Hope Uzodinma.

PoliticsWhy Reason Why BUHARI Presidency Is Bad For Edo People by ledamaster(op): 1:32pm On Jan 29, 2019
By SIMON EBEGBULEM BENIN CITY –
FIVE persons, including a first year student of the Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma, Edo state, Collins Ojierakhi, have been allegedly killed by herdsmen in Ugboha, Esan South East Local and Odiguete Ovia North East Local Government Areas of Edo state.
Apart from the death, about twelve persons are currently hospitalized at the Benin Central Hospital and other private hospitals as a result of the attack by the herdsmen.

The incident at Ugboha occurred Friday night at about 7:30pm when the deceased Collins and his friends were on their way back to village from Uromi. Father of the deceased, Mr Festus Ojierakhi, narrated that ¨I am just confused. I was actually in the house resting at about 8pm and I started asking about my son who was not there. I was told he went to Uromi with his friends on a motorcycle. ¨It was around 9pm that the mother of my son´s friend started shouting, crying that herdsmen have killed her son. I rushed out of the house and I asked about my own son. I was told he died too with his friend. ¨We immediately detailed boys and ran to the place. When we got there we were told that the police had come to take the corpse to Ubiaja mortuary. I was told that my son and two others, including the friend died. They said the other person that died is an Igbo person. ¨The information we heard was that as my son was driving home with his Okada, the herdsmen and their cattle blocked the road and they waited for them to leave the road. Immediately they passed, some of their people in the bush opened fire on my son and his friends and they died at the spot. ¨I have been to the Area Commander’s office and they said they are investigating the matter. I don´t know what to do. This is a young boy that just entered university¨ he lamented. At Odiguete community in Ovia North East, it was learnt that the herdsmen invaded the community yesterday, shooting sporadically and in the process killed two persons. Vanguard learnt that the community and the herdsmen have been having running battle in the area for sometime now. However, some of the wounded persons were brought to the Benin Central hospital yesterday while the two dead persons were said to have been deposited at an undisclosed mortuary. When contacted, the Edo State Police Commissioner, Johnson Kokumo could not answer his phone, but one of his aids later picked and said the CP was in a meeting. Several calls made later to the CP was unanswered. The Public Relations officer of the Command, Mr Chidi Nwabuzor, who was also contacted said he was attending an event therefore cannot comment.
