How old are you ?

SeverusSnape:
Cry for me...

I don't need to. You already do it very well.

SeverusSnape:
The first Lady should and must be protected!

Just because some touts attacked Aisha Buhari, I know some hooligans would want to retaliate by attacking the mother of the nation. It's a good thing she sent a representative in the person of Amina Sambo.

Jonathan Ni!!!

It's very obvious you are doing your job, but besides the fact that you are starting to become boring with your write-ups.

Don't you think it'll be better if you changed tactics?

pacifique:
Thank God they have realized the 'falsehood' that perpetually dominates APC.


GEJ till 2019!!!

You are a fool. You will support violence and intolerance because it suites you. And we ask why an old man like Buhari will still want to be president. Why won't he, when we have foolish youths like you who have failed this country.

This is a late move but a welcome one even if its being used to score cheap political points. Even if Abba Moro is sacked also, its still too late for that already.

Maybe Jonathan is trying to make amends before he leaves Aso Rock in May 2015.

henryangelo:
What is fashola trying to say,?that the school is of no benefit to the people? Is a pity that a man of his level can just come out in public to expose the level of his IQ, well to make him understand better...you count one before counting two, fashola want the government to register them into the same school he trains his children in to enable them compete with others

I think you should look at your level of IQ before you talk about others. Its a pity that even with your so called high IQ level you couldn't even understand what Fashola is saying.

I advice you to read it again very well and understand what the message is before you come out to blab.

Considering our lack of maintenance culture as a country with enough evidences around and considering the current situation of power in Nigeria, I ask, if the metro line project of Jakande had been allowed to go ahead and be completed, would that metro line still be functional today?

Those people blaming Buhari for stopping the project should ask themselves this question sincerely and stop trying to score cheap political points with the issue.

A metro line requires a massive amount of electricity to operate efficiently. Considering the way we have managed our national assets in this country would the metro line have still been functional to this day.

As a refresher, remember:

1. Nigeria Airways
2. National Stadium, Lagos
3. National Stadium, Abuja
4. Our International airports, neglected for year before the facelift by Oduah. Even with the facelifts still not fully up to international standard
5. Nigeria Railways, just starting to come up after years of neglect
etc.

Please don't politicize this.

purplesummer:
A clear conscience should fear no accusation.

I don't think you understand. The strategy is to do the damage first, then make amends later. It has nothing to do with truth or conscience.

biafranqueen:
Read above how USA paid same! Thats what it takes to fight terrorism. With those same weapons from Papa Eze we are winning the war!

I think you are very dumb. Are they talking about the refurbishment or the cost of the refurbishment. Is refurbishment not supposed to be cheaper. Why allow hatred to clog your sense of reasoning.

amakaobiemeka:
So some morons would call the empty head obiano that spent security allowance to purchase donkey/horse 4 police. Or would u call ochendo that is the worst in nigeria, is it elechi the 80yr that is a waste. The only gov east has is owelle rochas ibrahim adewale okorocha. My gov my gov. The only hope to igbo presidency, a man that builds bridges beyound the local igbo circle but has vision, and is rated highly in the north and west

I can't but agree with you. Rochas seems to be the only Igbo leader that I have seen who has shown himself to be above ethnic sentiments ( I stand to be corrected). For me I believe he stands a better chance for an Igbo president.

HugeMac:
AND NOTHING IS WRONG WITH APC'S GOVERNORS , YOU MY FRIEND IS DELUDED

I seriously doubt you can read and understand what you have read. Because your response is totally off point. I wonder who is more deluded.

OREMUSSANCTUS:
Even if AIT shows d video of tinubu and buhari stealing money, our foolish and brainwashed supporters will still vote for us! Imagine wad apc said abt dem supporters!
Dis shows how foolish apc thugs re, I pity dem and dem generations!

I pity you 'cause you have sold your soul for money. That's why you never see anything wrong with this govt. If you can make your choice of who to support why can't others make theirs. What makes you better than them. Always spewing thrash.

Wetin this election no go cause. GEJ want to show us say him dey fit. I wonder who advises my president.

Chigold101:
combat boko haram weeks ago with which weapon? For over 20years Nigerian government did not buy any new weapons & hardwares for the military. USA refused to sale to us hardwares & also stopped their allies from to selling to us. The same USA went ahead to label our soldiers “weak.“

Sir are you not in this country seing how hardwares & weapons are coming into this nation for past 4weeks? Did you think that the deals that brought about buying new weapons happen over night? No sir they took months of nagations & shiping.

The tide turned against boko haram when Nigeria decided to start buying weapons even from countries under UN/EU sanctions.

I still doubt if Chadian president would say such a thing now the war is still going on. I have a feeling that someone is trying to bring Nigeria & Chad into a row & mistrust which will bring infighting & that will make the insurgents to regroup & get stronger.

We should read inbetween lines & think when we read.

Since you can think, ask yourself this question, what happened to the monies budgeted for defense each year since 2011.

OREMUSSANCTUS:
did ya see d money? Stop behaving like a pizz

I have observed the way you have been scavenging all political thread so you can respond to anything you feel is against the govt. Every complaint against the govt from anyone nowadays whether genuine or not is APC.

You have really lost your conscience, and you are starting to sound like a broken record. You need to take a look at your responses in all the threads you have had your input to see what a nuisance you are becoming.

OREMUSSANCTUS:
Who saw d cash, apc has made ya foolish people carry rumors wifout doing ya homework well, pity ya family tree

You know, you are beginning to sound like a broken drum.

OREMUSSANCTUS:
Ameachi is anoda man dat will rot in jail wen jonathan assumes his 2nd term, d guy is a traitor to his own people, and he will pay for it.

how market?

OREMUSSANCTUS:
Anytin dat will make me deny ma family, may God not allow it come ma way

Anything that will also make me sell my conscience for money, may God not allow it come my way.

APC LIE LIAR MUHAMMAD 


APC WITCHCRAFT BROOM CARRYING PARTY

APC CAUSING FUEL SCARCITY LIKE THIER MAYHEM.
The Schizophrenic demented sick Pa Buhari is a terrorist, deranged old brainless super clueless bastard
Apc is boko haram
Thiefnu.bu is a pedophile drug dealer and a cocain sniffer property seized in the usa for his drug deals.

Buhari can only be president in sambisa and shekau would hand over to him with his forged result. 

Osinbajo is fake and a loafer

Amechi and Fashola are errand boys

Ambode new recruit errand boy


Buhari boko haram spiritual head

Atiku and Thiefnu.bu boko haram sponsor

Keep going around different threads with different names spewing thrash.

Win or lose, after elections, your payments will be stopped. I hope you have another job besides being an attack dog.

kestolove95:
How e take concern. U?

I wonder.

halimaabi:
AGAIN ANOTHER APC PROPANGANDA THAT WOULD NOT HOLD STEAM.

Those of you that are being paid to politicize every thread and to turn every truth of fact as a propaganda against the govt or against any political party should remember that no matter how we try to cover the truth it will one day come to hunt us.

To you people, you are only doing the job you were paid to do while hiding behind social media.

We can lie to others but the greatest fool is the one who lies to himself or herself.

Posterity will judge each and everyone of us.

I think the best thing is for you and your wife to maintain your joint biz acct and separate personal accts. You can decide on a salary or allowance each month for each person.

That way you can use your own share for what you want without any complaint. You wife's behavior is typical of white people. If you understand that, I believe you can find a way to cope with her behavior without resorting to fights all the time.

Try to make her understand your side of the story, but please don't hit your wife for any reason. Walk away when the atmosphere is heated, it doesn't mean you are weak.

Like the Biblical saying which proclaims a God that changes not, not many were stunned at the news of a former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, defecting back to the Peoples Democratic Party, as he was merely living true to type. Ojo M. Maduekwe writes

A certain man was told that “Femi Fani-Kayode has defected back to the PDP,” to which he replied: “I am not surprised; he’s done it before; he’s only being true to character by doing it again.” For the student of history, the former Minister of Aviation during former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode’s defecting back to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) does not come as a surprise.

Yesterday makes it two months that Fani-Kayode was at the Presidential Villa, where he reportedly met with President Goodluck Jonathan for roughly an hour behind closed doors.

The thrust of the meeting however remains secret. On his way out, an excited Fani-Kayode (one could tell from his response to the press), wouldn’t reveal why he met with the president. “I won’t go into what I discussed in there,” he said.


Even though he was not straightforward with a response, Nigerians knew his visit was preparatory to his leaving the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), which he has done. What gave credence to this assumption then was that during his little hide and seek with the press, Fani-Kayode had described those who work in the presidency as “wonderful”.

In all of his many syndicated columns, Fani-Kayode had never used the word wonderful or anything near it to describe the president or those who work for him. Not long ago, both the president and the PDP were everything but right for Fani-Kayode. Once he described the party as a “sinking ship” and it’s National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, as representing a sinking ship. The APC until that day when Fani-Kayode first saw the light in Aso Rock was the party for Nigeria.


Expectedly, when he saw that his visit to the Villa was trending on the social media and had attracted negative reactions, he quickly put something forward. “I was at the Villa yesterday and what transpired there has been the subject of much online speculation. What I said to the media whilst there was very clear and I chose my words carefully. Let those that are interested read those words in today's newspapers rather than speculate. Other than that, I will say no more on this matter until I am ready to do so.


“A few days ago, all the APC governors from the South-west were in the State House where they held a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan. What they discussed has not been made public until now. Does that make them PDP governors?


“The presidency belongs to every Nigerian irrespective of religious and political persuasions. Again, General Buhari was recently honoured by the same President Jonathan during the centenary celebration which the APC did not support. Does that mean he has joined the PDP? Again the on-going federal government confab has some APC chieftains participating in it despite the fact that the party is against it. Does that mean that they have left the APC?


“People should get real and stop speculating. Meanwhile Biodun Ishola Ladepo wrote ‘If I were Femi Fani-Kayode and my party planned to field a Muslim/Muslim presidential ticket, especially in the age of Boko Haram, I would bolt faster than Hussein Bolt’. I am glad that someone is seeing things clearly.

“This is not about leaving parties but about principle. Let us hope that the leadership of the APC sees fit to clarify this matter at the soonest and assure us all that they will do no such thing. Their silence on the matter and their refusal to rule it out is simply fuelling more speculation and dissent from within,” Fani-Kayode had said.

Since the leadership of the APC won’t quell the speculation that was creating bad blood, Fani-Kayode has gone back to the PDP. In a press statement widely circulated, he said: “I wish to inform the general public that as at today, June 2, 2014, I have left the APC and gone back to the PDP”.


On the Channels Television programme, ‘Politics Today’, where he described Metuh and the PDP as “sinking”, Fani-Kayode said the PDP was a sad testimony of everything that is wrong with Nigeria. He said the PDP that existed during the administration of President Obasanjo was the good old PDP which redeemed the country from international debt.

“The country had since the Goodluck Jonathan era gone back to debts”. What has changed in the PDP that Fani-Kayode now finds it a better alternative to the APC?

Before he was appointed by Obasanjo, Fani-Kayode was a public critic of the former president. At the time, no living Nigerian was known for criticising President Obasanjo like he was known to do. To silence Fani-Kayode, Obasanjo appointed him his personal ‘attack dog’.

In fact, two of his interviews- one for and the other against- on Obasanjo were published at the time by THISDAY which questioned the honour in his stand. Judging from the Aso Rock visit and the different tune Fani-Kayode now sings in his defection, President Jonathan too has proven to be a student of history.


Forget Fani-Kayode’s excuse that the APC as a party is sympathetic to Boko Haram. While that is debatable, the immediate reason for his returning to the PDP is simply because the president, during his earlier visit to Aso Rock, must have made Fani-Kayode an offer he couldn’t refuse.

With Fani-Kayode, one finds it difficult differentiating between the definitions of consistency and inconsistent. Both words find meaning in the character of Fani-Kayode. Once he is inconsistent, another time he is consistent. He’s inconsistent in talking from both sides of the mouth, but consistent in the goal his doublespeak seeks to achieve. “I must talk my way into this government” seems to be his objective before he sets out to criticise any administration. He is simply consistently inconsistent!


The job Fani-Kayode has proven to do very well is to criticise, either in writing or by holding press conferences. Maybe the job most appropriate for him would be Special Assistant on Media since there is a Minister of Information in whom the president appears pleased. Before President Jonathan makes up his mind on how best to use him, Fani-Kayode would certainly live up to his billing in the coming weeks by engaging the APC’s publicity secretary, Lai Mohammed, in war of words.

In one of his essays about the sacking of the former PDP National Chairman, Bamanga Tukur, Fani-Kayode wrote: “May he enjoy his forced and long-overdue retirement from public office and partisan politics and may he live long enough to see the PDP defeated and an APC president sworn in 2015.” One wonders, therefore, what the former minister would be singing now. If anything, that position has changed completely.

In the said essay, if it qualifies to be called that, titled ‘Jonathan, Tukur and a Government of Jezebels’, Fani-Kayode after commending the president for Tukur’s sack and the “removing and reshuffling” of some principal officers in the military, maintained that the moves were commendable but “will change nothing because they are both too little and too late.”


According to him, “The PDP will continue to sink because it is a political party that has lost its bearing and its soul and it has mortgaged its conscience. It has also lost the source and strength of its inspiration and moral authority in the distinguished person of President Olusegun Obasanjo, who really was the glue that bound the party together and kept it going against all odds.”

Still in the same essay, Fani-Kayode said the PDP has become a party that is beyond redemption and that “the removal of Tukur cannot change that. I say this because no sensible person will go back to a stinking carcass simply because the head of the dead animal has been cut off and thrown away. A carcass remains a carcass whether you cut off its head, legs or any other part of its body or not. Whichever way, it remains as dead as a dodo and it only awaits a formal burial.


“The truth is that the vultures are already feeding fat on the rotting and decaying cadaver of the PDP and whether anyone likes to hear it or not, the truth is that the party can never be whole again. As I said eight months ago, it is a party that has been rejected by God and whose leaders are suffering God's judgment for their unjust, gluttonous, wicked, foul and evil ways.”


Now that he’s gone back to the PDP and taking a cue from his very own words, it is justifiable to conclude that Fani-Kayode has become a person without reasoning by joining a sinking ship and stinking carcass, with the intent of feeding on its decaying cadaver. Now that he’s gone back to his vomit, has he been rejected by God and awaiting judgment for being unjust, gluttonous, wicked, foul and evil?

It is very unfortunate that in this age, in a country like Nigeria, people will need to be enticed to vote for a particular candidate by being offered food.

Does this not further go to show the level of poverty we have in Nigeria. If Nigeria is truly better than now than it was few years ago, should we still be having this kind of thing.

The change Nigeria needs goes beyond Goodluck or Buhari. Nigeria needs a deep rooted and fundamental change to its value system and ideals. Only then can we begin to see true change.

Well, she's knows your intentions now.

Kennywills7:
This man is simply giving Apc sleepless nights as he is watching every move dey make

Are you sure its not the other way around? As a Governor, he sure has enough free time to chase after frivolities.

Fayose, is more anxious for Goodluck to win this election than Goodluck himself. Only Fayose knows why he has chosen this path and why he is losing sleep over Buhari ( There is no doubt in my mind that the fear of Buhari is giving Fayose sleepless nights).

By God's grace everything that is hidden will one day be revealed.

For me, I have asked God to give us the better of the two candidates. I have made my choice but God's will shall prevail.

You are a typical example of how corroded the Nigerian society has become. If you can call people older than your father such names while hiding behind social media.

Nothing stops you from making your point without bringing yourself so low. It shows the kind of so called future leaders that we have in the waiting.

Forwetinnah:
And the Sambisa raid that has killed and destabilised the insurgents in the past 1 week is just a front. ..like really?? Do you people think at all?? Seriously??

What is your understanding of the word "Think"?

Talking about the word, think. Let me ask you a few questions. And you should be sincere in answering without any bias, if you know the answer.

1. The war on insurgents has been on for years, can you tell me what the FG has been doing with the defence budget all these years?
2. With all the money budgeted for defence, why were soldiers complaining of lack of equipment.
3. If you say question 2 is propaganda, why was Nigeria losing territory?
4. Why had our soldiers, been unable to go into sambisa before now?
5. Why did it take the FG 2weeks to accept that 276 girls were kidnapped from a school in chibok?
6. Why all of a sudden that election is around the corner, Nigeria seems to be "winning the war" insurgents?

We ask these questions, because we can think.

We are starting to see real reasons elections were postponed. Our president trying to recover lost grounds.

You don't have to advertise your achievements for people to know you are working.

Love is not enough. Think deep down what you really want then follow your heart. But prepare your mind also, to face the consequences of your decision.

My 2cents.

The highest fraud known to humanity is carried out in Lagos State

U just wait let power change hand in Alausa and you will see the monumental fraud, stealing & corruption.

APC 'CHANGE' my foot

I don't want to claim that Fashola or Tinunbu are saints but do you truly believe that Agbaje will be a saint?

The problem with Nigeria and Nigerians is not just the corruption but our attitude to it. The type of system Nigeria has, promotes and encourages corruption.

The people at the top are not willing to fight it because they are also enmeshed in it. Jonathan can't fully fight corruption because his hands are not clean.

Nigerians themselves don't help matters because the society celebrates corrupt people. Even the legal system doesn't help matters.

Those of who think Agbaje will be better should remember the people who also surround him (Bode George, Obanikoro etc) I laughed one day when someone said Agbaje will liberate Lagos. If you think you are running away from one evil I can assure you, you are only cutting off the head to cure the headache.

The best solution is for Nigerians to rise up and force the legislature to make laws that'll help fight corruption genuinely.

Until then we will just be juggling from one bad case to another. There's a lot to say but I'll stop here.
