The guy deserved to be replaced. Infact he should not have been allowed six days. The way the staff in that High Commission treats Nigerians is nothing but evil. I know people that applied for passports either new or renewal that have to pay over £500.00 before they can get it. The embassy have a cafe setup by their staff and you have to go through that cafe to get some things done. The staff will actually refer you to that cafe and you get charged exorbitant price to process your papers. Things cannot continue like that.

A friend of mine applied for his passport since June. Was given a date of collection in August. Got there its all story. The guy with his family travel from over 250 miles to London for God's sake. The staff will not even give a damn but rather was expecting a bribe. He stayed in the hotel for 2 days and yet could not get the passport. Evil people.

Judolisco:
Greatest mistake we made as a nation was removing Jonathan... Nigerians thought they were suffering then....now what APC has shown us ehn and still showing us ehn

Jonathan is the most clueless leader in Nigerian history. We are here because of his foolishness. He was thought a simple lesson. APC had no chance before Jonathan betrays his party's chance. How did Jonathan thinks he will rule Nigeria for over ten years. How. Open corruption in large scale was order of the day. No single politician in Nigeria is worth voting for. It does not matter which party they are in. They are all the same. Useless people.

Your Obi was Atiku's vice in the penultimate election but PDP lost.

If your obi is not fantastically corrupt, how on earth would he be the running mate of Atiku. Everybody except your Obi knows who Atiku is. So your Obi to be on the same ballot with Atiku only shows how desperate and gullible your Obi is. Deperate idiot running from APGA to PDP to Labour Party. Your Obi will NEVER be the president in Nigeria go and live with that. Probaly he will lead you people in your Biafra enclave but in Nigeria God forbid.

Tntsi:
Nigeria should be a case study.
From human resources to natural resources, all the resources you can think of, Nigeria has it.
What we have lacked is leadership.
Criminals, tribalist, certificate forgers, drug barons and people of ll manner of questionable characters have ravaged the Nigeria democratic system thereby plugging the nation into destruction, poverty and collaspe.

Politics / Six Years On, Buhari Has Failed Woefully As President Of Nigeria by linuxuser(m): 7:31pm On May 31, 2021
There is no point pretending to be what I am not. And truth is, I’m not a fan of President Muhammadu Buhari. No, not Buhari as an individual, who, I believe, is a good man; but Buhari as president of Nigeria. That latter Buhari, who marked his sixth year in power last week, on May 29, is, sadly, an unmitigated failure!

Ouch! That sounds too direct and irreverential in the Nigerian context. But the guiding philosophy of this column, any column I write, is, to borrow the words of the Economist magazine: “The questioning of institutions and received wisdom is a democratic virtue, and a sceptical lack of deference towards leaders is the first step to reform.”

Think about it. No serious-minded columnist would genuflect to a president with untrammelled and unbridled executive powers, whose behaviour, policies, actions and inactions can adversely affect the lives and wellbeing of over 200m people and the fate of a nation, and who lives in a bubble, in an echo chamber, surrounded by sycophants.

A few years ago, I wrote a piece titled “Buhari is Nigeria’s most arrogant yet inept leader” (BusinessDay, January 14, 2019). I stick with that view. Of Nigeria’s democratic leaders, there were only two categories: the incompetent but humble, like Shehu Shagari and Goodluck Jonathan; and the competent but arrogant, even egotistical, like Olusegun Obasanjo. Buhari represents a third category: both incompetent and arrogant!



Truth is, President Buhari is utterly clueless, lacks leadership qualities, and bereft of imagination and problem-solving skills. Yet, he’s unbelievably arrogant and stubborn. He runs Nigeria like a personal ruler, a monarchical president, surrounded by self-serving minions, totally aloof and removed from the people.

Let’s start with the basic issue of political leadership. In his best-selling book “How to win friends and influence people”, Dale Carnegie argues extensively that the only way a leader can influence people is by talking about what they want and engaging with them. That, indeed, is what, worldwide, presidents and prime ministers do: they are sensitive to the feelings of the people, they set up focus groups and read opinion polls, they consult and engage to find common grounds and the right way forward on issues.

But not President Buhari. I mean, how many times in the past six years has he left Abuja to directly engage and listen to Nigerians, meet traditional rulers, elder statesmen and other prominent Nigerians across the country in order to win hearts and minds and forge a consensus on any national issue? Well, hardly ever! He is holed up in his gilded presidential palace in Abuja where everyone must come and meet him.

His aides say that’s his style; he doesn’t like to talk. Yet, he “talks” regularly through them with incendiary press statements that gratuitously insult Nigerians and inflame tensions across the country. Did Buhari sign off those disdainful press statements from Garba Shehu and Femi Adesina, his spokespersons? It’s hard to know as he is not talking himself!

But if Buhari is naturally reclusive, taciturn and tongue-tied, why was he desperate to become president of a tension-prone, multinational, multi-cultural and multi-religious country that needs a unifying, visible and engaging leader? Buhari was so determined to be president he ran for the office four times. Yet, thanks to his heroic complacency, his utter lack of ambition and urgency, and, of course, his unwillingness to engage and learn, Nigeria has significantly regressed from the country he took over six years ago in 2015.

It’s hard to avoid a comparison between President Buhari and US president Joe Biden. In 2015, when Buhari became president, aged 72, he said he wished he were in his forties. He moved at such a snail’s speed that Nigerians nicknamed him “Baba Go Slow”, a moniker he relished. But Biden became president at 78. Yet, his transformational leadership, his high ambition and sense of urgency and his high-octane and results-focused actions belie the fact that he is a near-octogenarian and put Buhari in the shade. Indeed, Biden’s first 100 days in office outmatched Buhari’s first two years!

President Buhari’s performance over the past six years has been so appalling that many of those who actively contributed to his campaign and helped him become president in 2015 have publicly expressed deep regrets about the role they played in his victory.

Writing in his Vanguard column recently, Dr Dele Sobowale said: “I wake up each morning these days begging the Almighty for His forgiveness; for my contribution towards making Buhari’s presidency possible in 2015” (Vanguard, May 17, 2021). Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, another erstwhile loyalist, said that Buhari turned out to be “dangerously looking as if power was an end in itself, and governance was all about the personal convenience of the leader”, adding that by his second year in office, “it was clear that Buhari was not the solution. Indeed, he looked more like the problem.” (Vanguard, October 7, 2020).

But, in truth, history is simply repeating itself. While criticising Buhari in 2016, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar rightly said: “We have a president who doesn’t learn from the past.” Simply put, since Buhari became president in 2015,his leadership style and policy orientation have largely been path dependent, following a well-trodden, yet misguided, path that first became obvious when he was military head of state in the mid-1980s.

Recently, following the death of Lt-Gen Joshua Dogonyaro, a former chief of defence staff, some newspapers published the coup speech he gave when Buhari was overthrown as military head of state on August 27, 1985. Reading the descriptions of the style and substance of Buhari’s military regime and comparing them with the style and substance of his civilian administration today, it’s obvious that hardly anything has changed.

Think about the following words used to describe Buhari in the coup speech: “stubborn and ill-advised unilateral actions”; “energies were directed at imaginary oppositions rather than to effective leadership”; “the nation’s meagre resources are being wasted on unproductive ventures”; “government has distanced itself from the people and the yearnings and aspirations of the people have been ignored”; “the government is drifting”, and “the economy does not seem to be getting better.”

I mean, which of the above words, used 36 years ago, do not resonate today? Hasn’t Nigeria’s economy been subjected to stubborn and ill-advised unilateral actions over the past six years? The Economist recently wrote a piece titled “Nigeria’s economy: Stuck in a rut”, pointing out that GDP per person “has fallen every year since 2015”, thanks to misguided policies, such as import bans, border closures and rigid exchange rate policy.

What about excessive borrowing and wasteful spending? President Buhari’s administration has borrowed and spent significantly more than any of his predecessor’s. Yet, unemployment, poverty, insecurity, etc, are at unprecedented levels.

Recently, this newspaper published data showing that, at an average of N1.3trillion, Buhari’s security appropriation was the highest since 1999. Yet, Buhari said last week, “insecurity is hindering my plans for Nigeria.” So, what happened to the massive security spend?

And where his so-called “plans for Nigeria”? Is the much-vaunted infrastructure investment that has trapped Nigeria in unsustainable debt and yet hasn’t not contributed to economic growth or job creation? Or is it the wasteful spending on agriculture, which has not led to increased agricultural export or stopped food inflation from rising to 23%, “the highest in two decades”, according to the Economist?

Yet, with six years gone, Buhari has barely two years left in office. But what can he do in two years? Well, his best legacy project is to build a national consensus for restructuring Nigeria. The spinoff from that would stabilise the polity and help the economy. Otherwise, he risks an eternal legacy of failing twice in power!

Politics / Nigeria School Abduction: Gunmen Kidnap Students In Niger State by linuxuser(m): 1:10am On May 31, 2021
Nigerian officials say gunmen have kidnapped many students from an Islamic school in Nigeria - the latest in a series of such attacks on schools.

Authorities in Niger state confirmed to the BBC that gunmen had seized an unknown number of students from the school in the town of Tegina on Sunday.

A teacher told the BBC that 150 students were missing, while other reports put the figure at about 200.

Abductions carried out for ransom are increasingly common in northern states.

In February nearly 300 girls were taken by armed men from a boarding school in Jangebe, Zamfara state. Most were later freed.

In the latest incident, witnesses quoted by This Day news website said gunmen riding on motorcycles stormed the town and opened fire indiscriminately. As people fled the attackers went to the Islamic school and seized the children. The school is attended by boys and girls, aged six to 18.

Authorities said two people were shot during the attack and one had since died. A number of people travelling in a car were also reportedly kidnapped.

BBC Nigeria correspondent Mayeni Jones says kidnapping for ransom has become more common across Nigeria in recent months.

The attack in Tegina comes a day after 14 people kidnapped from a university in the neighbouring state of Kaduna were released.


Tegina is also not far from the town of Kagara, where 27 students were abducted in February.

There have been at least six kidnappings of students in north-west and central Nigeria since December, our correspondent says, and more than 800 students and staff have been abducted.

The 2014 kidnap of 276 schoolgirls in the north-eastern town of Chibok by Islamist militants Boko Haram brought global attention to the scourge of raids on schools in Nigeria, but more recent attacks are suspected to be the work of criminal gangs.

Politics / Re: Throwback Post Of Jonathan When He Visited North East Over Insecurity by linuxuser(m): 5:31pm On Apr 28, 2021
BF69BF:
GEJ wasn't the best president, he has his shortcomings just like every individual, however, with the present state of the country, a lot of people would have preferred his "incompetence" to this Idi Amin regime.

I often wonder why people still talk about Jonathan. We are here today because of Jonathan's incompetence. If Jonathan had performed well, Buhari would not have been the president.

Jonathan forgot that he is nothing when it comes to the political space when it comes to Nigeria Politics even though he was the president. Jonathan wanted 10 years. Where did he think he will get that from. His Red cap people deceived him and themselves thinking they have the joker. They encouraged him to disregard agreements. When you betray an agreement, you pay the price.

Jonathan should be hanged for betraying the masses. He claimed he will fight for them by claiming that he had no shoe, he got elected and changed his mind or was pushed to do otherwise. None of the Red Cap people can tell us how many people had the same opportunity that Jonathan had. He became the Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President and ultimately the President. How many people had such opportunity.

Jonathan was never an option against the Dullard there now. Jonathan claimed to have a Phd but yet there is no brain. Buhari is not educated. Buhari is simply a dullard and what do you expect from an illiterate like Buhari.

Please next time there is a discussion, people should stop talking about Jonathan.

Foreign Affairs / Mike Pompeo Sworn In As America Secretary Of State by linuxuser(m): 12:58am On Apr 27, 2018
The US Senate has confirmed former CIA director Mike Pompeo as secretary of state, ending a tough confirmation battle.

Mr Pompeo had been accused by Democrats of being a war hawk and harbouring anti-Muslim and homophobic views.

The Senate voted 57-42 to approve him as America’s top diplomat, the second of the Trump presidency.

His predecessor, Rex Tillerson, was sacked last month by the president via Twitter amid a personality clash.

Republican senators, who control the upper chamber, voted unanimously on Thursday to confirm Mr Pompeo. Six Democrats joined them.

Some of those Democrats – including North Dakota’s Heidi Heitkamp and West Virginia’s Joe Manchin – come from states that President Donald Trump won in 2016.

The approval comes in time for Mr Pompeo – a former hardline conservative congressman from Kansas – to lead a US delegation to Nato foreign minister talks in Brussels this weekend

In a statement, Mr Trump applauded his new secretary of state as someone who “will always put the interests of America first”.

“Having a patriot of Mike’s immense talent, energy, and intellect leading the Department of State will be an incredible asset for our country at this critical time in history,” he added.

Mr Pompeo has been arranging a summit between Mr Trump and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un. The meeting could happen in the coming months.

A man out front

Analysis by Barbara Plett, State Department Correspondent, BBC News, Washington

Mike Pompeo is a man of action and all indications are he plans to be out front as Secretary of State. As a Trump loyalist and foreign policy hawk he’s the exact opposite of his predecessor Rex Tillerson.

But he aims to use the former to gain clout amongst the key Cabinet and White House players determining America’s relations with the world. And on the latter he’s tried to convince senators that he’ll pursue “relentless diplomacy.”

He’s been at it already with his secret trip to North Korea, and can be expected to continue to take the lead in preparing for the summit between Trump and Kim Jong-un. But he believes the administration’s hardline approach of sanctions backed by the credible threat of force is what forced the North Korean leader to the table and has pledged to maintain the pressure until the talks yield concrete results.

He doesn’t like the Iran nuclear deal but says he’d prefer to fix it rather than scrap it. Democrats are sceptical, but he’ll have a lot of work to do if Trump does abandon the accord, since there’s no set formula for what that would mean.

Pompeo has also pledged to restore the State department’s “swagger” in the wake of Tillerson’s disastrous management of the building, and is already focused on filling the many vacancies.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders tweeted a photo of Mr Pompeo watching on TV as the Senate held their vote.

State department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said on Twitter that Mr Pompeo told her he is “delighted to be Secretary of State, completely humbled by the responsibility and looking forward to getting to work”.

Less than an hour after he was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, he boarded a military plane for Belgium.

“No other Secretary of State in modern history has travelled so soon after confirmation,” said Mrs Nauert.

Before he was confirmed, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker described him as the “perfect person to come in at this time and lead” talks with North Korea.

Over the Easter holiday he travelled to Pyongyang, where he met Mr Kim.

Mrs Sanders tweeted photos of the two from that trip after Mr Pompeo’s confirmation, saying “he will do an excellent job”.

On Tuesday, Mr Trump described the North Korean ruler as “very honourable”, after months of deriding him as “Little Rocket Man”.

US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley also congratulated Mr Pompeo following the confirmation vote.

After travelling to Brussels he will next go to Israel, where he is expected to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.

During that trip he will also visit Saudi Arabia and Jordan to “discuss critical and bilateral issues”, according to a statement from the state department.

Crime / Nigeria ‘baby Factory’ Raided In Lagos by linuxuser(m): 1:34pm On Apr 26, 2018
More than 160 children have been rescued from a “baby factory” and two unregistered orphanages in Nigeria’s main city, Lagos, an official has said.

Some of the babies and children had been sexually abused, Agboola Dabiri added.

It is not uncommon for Nigerian authorities to raid “baby factories”.

In some cases, unmarried pregnant women are promised healthcare, only for their children to be taken away. In others, women are raped and made pregnant.

The babies can be sold for adoption, used for child labour, trafficked to Europe for prostitution or killed for ritual purposes.

In February, Lagos police told local media they had uncovered a case where a pregnant woman went to a private home to have her baby delivered – only for the baby to be taken away and sold.

Speaking after the latest raids, Mr Dabiri, the Commissioner for Youths and Social Development in Lagos State, said 100 girls and 62 boys had been rescued.

“The children and teenagers rescued from the ‘baby factory’ and homes were placed at government-approved homes for care and protection,” he added.

In 2013, 17 pregnant teenagers and 11 babies were rescued from a house in south-eastern Imo state. The girls said they had been raped by one man.

In 2012, a UK judge raised concerns about “desperate childless parents” being caught up in baby-selling scams in Nigeria.

There was evidence that women were going to Nigeria seeking fertility treatment, then being sold unwanted babies, the judge said.

ukejejohnson:

You can't build a collapse skyscraper in one day . It takes years, be that as it may I haven't seen a better candidate better than Buhari.

You are right that Rome is not built in a day. But the dullard called Buhari is not building anything but rather destroying the commonwealth. The truth is that the dullard does not have an iota of idea of how to run his own house not to talk of a nation like Nigeria. The defenders of this dullard Buhari can not really tell us what he has done to help the masses of this country. All the time the comparison is made between his failure and that of Jonathan. Is Jonathan the yardstick? Does Jonathan own Nigeria?

Many times people say Buhari is a man of integrity. My question is whether some of us really know the meaning of integrity. A man with integrity will no lie and neither will he/she associate with anything that is not truthful. Buhari said that he will declare his assets publicly. Of course, he is not legally obliged to do so. But why say it that he will do it? Buhari said he borrowed money to buy his nomination form. Where did he do the money to fly round Nigeria to campaign? Where did he get the money to sponsor his children overseas. What happens to all the corruption allegations against all his "saint" APC friends. Maybe in a country like Nigeria people can gauge Buhari against someother politicians. But the truth is that ALL NIGERIAN POLITICIANS ARE ONE AND THE SAME. Not a single one of them have the interest of the nation at their heart and Buhari is not an exemption.

Buhari was in hurry to declare the "IPOD" as pointed out by Soyinka as a terrorist organisation. How many citizens did IPOD really killed? But how many people are known to have been killed by the Fulani herdsmen sponsored by Buhari. The last time we heard that Buhari's Police IG disregarded his order and we are yet to know the action he will take against the IG but we all know that he will do nothing. We can go on and on. Buhari is NOTHING but a disaster to Nigeria and a curse to Nigerians. PDP or APC are one and the same with no difference so the issue is not that APC is bad and PDP is good or vice Versa.

If the Police genuinely want a sample from the so-called lawyer they are entitled to use a reasonable force legally and even for the silly guy to refuse to give a sample, an inference can be drawn that he has something to hide.

PrettyCrystal:
An Abuja based lawyer, Onyemobi Chucks has been accused of raping a 17-year-old girl identified as Esther Monday after allegedly tying her down and assaulting her. It has been gathered that the lawyer has been detained in Gwarimpa police station and will be there throughout the weekend.....

Read what a reporter with Independent Nigeria, Nicholas Uwerunonye shared online;

I bring before you a matter concerning Esther Monday, 17, allegedly assaulted, gagged, tied down and raped by a certain Onyemobi Ochiagha Chucks, a lawyer based in Abuja. I was at the Gwarimpa Police Station where I monitored the proceedings for more than six hours.

According to Monday, she began working for Chucks barely a week ago after she replaced a relative of hers at his house when she had to go back to Kafanchan, Kaduna State. Monday is one of thousands of young vulnerable girls who come to urban areas in search of menial jobs. Chucks had specifically requested Monday's Guardian to provide an alternative for the relative who wanted to take a break.

Chucks initially engaged Monday to clean his house and water the garden in his home in Gwarimpa. But on Thursday, the lawyer curiously asked her to move to his office, also, in Gwarimpa to help in cleaning and office work. Unsuspecting, the poor girl went along. After working and cleaning the place, Chucks allegedly began making overtures to her; complementing her on her beauty...

As she further narrated, her boss suddenly stood up, went to the door, bolted it; headed to the windows and sealed them. Monday was too petrified to act initially. Then the lawyer pounced on her, tied her up, gagged and blindfolded her. Chucks, according to her, went ahead to strip her naked. He forcefully had canal knowledge of her, she alleged. It was Monday's first sexual encounter, she claimed at the police station. Rather than release the girl, the lawyer still kept her detained.

He further seized her phone from her, extracted the sim card. After some hours, he ordered the girl to go back to his house warning her not to say a word. To ensure compliance, he took the girl to the road and put her in a commercial tricycle giving direction to the driver to take the girl to his own house. It was at this point the girl took the initiatives that have probably saved her life.

Explaining in Hausa, she narrated her ordeal to the driver and begged him to give her his phone because hers had had its sim card removed by the lawyer. The driver obliged her.

With the phone, she called her guardian who rushed over to the lawyers house to rescue her.

I got all this details from the girl and her guardians at the police station. I got to the police at about 5.pm and began further enquiry. At face value, the police appeared to have been professional. After listening to her , they took the girl to a hospital for medical confirmation of her claim. They summoned the lawyer who delayed coming to the station. I called his number, too, but he simply said he doesn't know me and wouldn't speak to me. At about 8 pm the lawyer came to the police station.

After making initial conversation with the DPO, the girl and the lawyer were again taken to the hospital. Some hours later, they returned. I gathered that the lawyer refused to submit himself for test. But I was reliably informed that the doctors said he could perceive the smell of sperm in her Vagina. Curiously, I noticed that some police officers began to be apprehensive at my presence at the station, one of them, a tall dark complexioned youngman with drooping eyelids.

He summoned me after he saw that I had closely been watching his movements with the lawyer. He first attempted to throw the relatives of the girl out of the station but failed. Then he came over to me asking what I was doing at the station. After calmly showing him my ID, he then asked me how I got to know about the case. "Who told you that the man has been indicted, " he asked.

After calmly explaining to him that I am at no liberty to disclose my source, I further went ahead to tell him that story writing for a good reporter doesn't begin after indictment. He reluctantly gave it rest.

Colleagues, I am headed back to the station to speak with the DPO to get a clearer perspective on the matter. While not indicting the lawyer of any crime, I believe that the man has some explaining to do, especially given the maneuvers I personally saw him pull. Chucks, the lawyer, is Igbo, like me, and so is the police officer who tried to intimidate me and the girl's relative. Esther Monday is from Kafanchan and I do not know her. This is about justice and it knows no tribe. I am sending out this message because I understand how things are done in this country, no matter how we pretend otherwise.

Politics / Re: Sule Lamido: "Buhari Hated Yar'adua; How He Treated Him" by linuxuser(m): 7:08pm On Jan 19, 2018
Can you please educate us on how much has been looted under this dullard president. The last time I read that money was missing from right to left. Millions were spent to cut grass and by the way, the money was in the personal account of one of the APC guys. And lastly please remember to include where the dullard got all the money he spent on his election campaign. Thank you as you help us.



SBG04:

No my friend, the joke is on you! We voted out corruption, indolence, criminality and profligacy. Though things are not 100% or not going exactly as planned, but significant progress had been made. For the first time in a long time we can boast of a President who is not building a castle somewhere in his village. Money is going where it out to go, and people are going to jail for stealing. The idiot Sule that you're here supporting looted billions from his state. I'm sure that is your perfect role model.

Politics / Re: Ekiti Bars Fayemi, Other From Holding Public Offices In State by linuxuser(m): 8:42pm On Jan 15, 2018
buragidi:
How I wish people understand the political strategy of Fayose. The whole idea is to ginger Fayemi to contest under APC. Fayose knows for sure that Fayemi is the easiest candidate to beat in 2018.
By releasing that white paper, Fayemi will naturally be obliged to contest for APC primary and to prove that the white paper is of no effect. Since Fayemi has the APC structure in Ekiti, he is most likely to emerge the APC candidate. ..and art is he today in Ekiti, the name Fayemi is synonymous with failure and sack. Fayose is smart.

Fayose is a strategist. He knows what he is doing. Let Buhari and his machinery force Fayemi on APC and you will see the result. If APC is wise, Oni should be their candidate and if they don't, it will be a Fayose victory.

Politics / Re: The Mystery Behind The Herdsmen Killings by linuxuser(m): 3:46am On Jan 14, 2018
The Dullard Buhari is a herdsman and his support for the killing of innocent Nigerians have no limit. He tagged the IPOB that have no guns terrorist and turn his eyes the other way when his kingsmen keep killing and maiming innocent people every day.

Adegbenro7643:
If you all could recall very well, you would remember that the most vital, of all other reasons, why President Muhammed Buhari was able to win the Presidential seat, against our former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, was due to the killings of people perpetrated by Boko Harams then. The great power that BH had wielded in Nigeria forced many Nigerians into voting GEJ out, with the hope that PMB, with his military knowledge, would drastically stop the BH sect ( which is almost accomplished). Meanwhile, there was a rumour going around then that BH militants were being sponsored to kill commoners in order to make a mess of GEJ/PDP tenure (NB: There was no proof). Now that we have PMB, I think there's another political body who is ready to go to any length in destroying PMB/APC reign, either in anticipation to see the ruling body fall or in retaliation to the mischiefs caused during GEJ's era. To this, I hold no proof as well. But I think it is barbaric & inhuman to be playing politics at the cost of people's lives. There had been herdsmen before my birth & there will be herdsmen even after my death (that is if Jesus tarries his coming). Tagging your own killing agents too as 'herdsmen' is way too brutal on the innocent people. The blood of every innocent Nigerian/Herdsman/commoner that's shed would surely stand against you here on earth & afterlife. Nigerians, POLITICS IS INDEED A DIRTY GAME!,,,,,I point NO accusing finger to either a person or a political body. Shalom!

You know why you cannot name names. Its because the people you will list or name (Amaechi, Saraki, Elrufai etc) are the people that brought your dullard president to power and are still keeping him hence you guys are ashamed that the so-called integrity of your dullard at Aso Rock has no meaning to anyone except those that are being paid to deceive the ordinary people of this country.

Alariiwo:


You need names? you can look them up.

I'm not some encyclopedia or PDP dictionary.

I think you should tell us the exchange rate when PDP took over and the rate they left it in 2015. Then we can start analysis
