Good for us. Lets go back to cocoa groundnut and palmoil. We will suffer a while but we will survive and the same China will come begging for investments in Nigeria. We are the cause of all these insults with our laziness. You will be amazed that some eurpoean nations doing well today dont have natural resources yet they are more developed than Nigeria.
Truth is even China knows that they are the ones who will lose but they are only capitalizing on our extravant lifestyle and the wide disparity between the rich and the poor.
For heavens sake call them bluff, cut recurrent expenditure by 80% (yes! even if the president has to recieve 50k monthly),target small African countries for our small small exports of food products and Aba made products and we can survive on the change we make from it while we produce our own energy.
Must we look for buyer of our oil and in the process become slaves to the rest of the world? See US already preparing to use us to do yeye and now Chinese don join. Lets do the needful for once

doctokwus:
Nobody would find fault with this.Majority of the members were present and they in a free/transparent manner said they prefer Dogara and this Lasun.Its how the game of numbers go.Besides they are both APC.
But for one man who thinks he is smart to have just over half of d senate,with majority of his own party members being absent,and have himself get elected with support of mainly d opposition party members,even allowing an absurd situation where a deputy and "majority leader" emerges from the minority party,I don't expect him to be sleeping well from now on,because he would not find peace until a proper election is conducted after he gets served in his own coin.
Dogara/Lasun congrats.
Saraki may your days be interesting!

Did Saraki stop them from coming to vote? Did you know that up to half of d Nigerian population did not vote at the presidential election? Yet did that stop Buhari from being sworn in. Stop reasoning with emotion. Deal with the bitter lose

jenti:
The President goofed when he said he is notvinterested in who emerges as leaders in the National Assemnly. His utterance and behaviour made it difficult for the party to wade into this issue early. I hope he picks some lessons here.. He had by his slow and neutral approach strengthened the opposition and weakened his own party. Nigerians will wash how he will now easily get his political appointees ratified and his executive bills dpeedily passed into law.
Congratulations to Atiku, the brain behind the politriking. He had gotten his pound of flesh and silently staging his comeback in 2019.
The drama had just begun

Stop leading Buhari to his political grave. Right now as it stands he is very well respected by the majority of Nigerians but the day he toes the line of your advice he tends to become a godfather and Nigerians will crucify him. The best thing was to remain neutral which he did

sweetgala:
Just because Saraki and Dogara won does not mean PDP have the majority in the house, on any given day when bills are passed the full APC force would be out to frustrate these two guys who sold out

You no sure say this your gala bitter so ? When they frustrate bills who will suffer is it not Nigerians. Be like say u go return to school to learn democracy 101

Rumpelstiltskin:
This is indeed a pure illegality! Out of 108 senators (Zannah excluded), only 57 were sworn in and partook in this sham called an election.

PDP and snitches like Saraki shouldn't rejoice yet. After the court must have declared the emergence of the SP and DSP illegal, the APC will also sanction Saraki and that will be the beginning of the end of his political career and indeed his strength in Kwara politics.
Infact at this point, I bury all my grievances against Gbajabiamila (which are more personal and not for national interest). Any APC lawmaker who pairs with a PDP lawmaker for their selfish interests do not deserve to lead or remain in APC.

You think Buhari and Tinubu are fools? Film just start.....abeg pull a cushion, sit back, relax and watch how events unfold.

Rumpelstiltskin this is not cartoon o. Should I save this your post and repost it back to you in the near future when Nigeria calls APC bluf

Watching it live now. Double lose for Tinubu Dogara wins

Sorry Mr Akume you are a goner

FOLYKAZE:
I swear this issue is getting more complicated to me.

Should we assume Buhari is playing card against his party?

Is Saraki selling out to PDP?

Who is lossing out and winning here?

Nigeria is definitely the winner here.
Look at it this way; with an independent minded president the executive is free of godfatherism and with an independent minded senate president the legislature is free of godfatherism and NIGERIA becomes the winner

What a pity. The earlier APC kills godfatherism the better for it. Nigerians hate the sound of that word 'GODFATHER'

sainty2k3:
Make good research and be sure of what u think is false

This is what is call flawless victory over Tinubu. From my research he was at ICC waiting for Buhari to come and preside over an illegal meeting for Lawan while Saraki was busy winning in the senate chamber. Oya go and do your research
P.S. if Tinubu wanted Saraki all those APC senators that went to ICC like mumu would have been in the chamber.

Tinubu and Lai Muhammed said they are studying the matter. The thing do them like magic for eye lol. When Buhari said I belong to no one and I belong to everyone them no understand
Today Tinubu displayed GROSS CLUELESSNESS
But on a serious note Tinubu is so selfish. He wanted Buhari to be there in an illegal meeting and when the country begins to call the president undemocratic for calling an illegal meeting he Tinubu will be hiding inside bedroom

PStacks:
Cry all you can! GEJ would Never come back..

He's done and dusted. He's History..

Forget GEJ, let's face a "New Nigeria"..

Ok now lets get it on. Buhari is a fuvking dullard for calling an illegal meeting when senators ought to be in session for inauguration.
Oya go and die and if you cant maim me you are a fuvking foool

sellydion:
BACK DOOR ELECTION, ABUSE OF DETAIL PROCESS. KANGAROO SENATE.

IF THEY START LIKE THIS UNPOPULAR REHEARSAL, HOW WILL THEY END IT?

Dont make people think you are sick. If it was gej that summoned senators elect to ICC when they should be participating in a due election wont you scream foul. But now a due process election was held and u call it kangaroo. You are the definition of hypocracy

PStacks:
Look! "NEVER" come up here and call the President a Dullard again in your life, otherwise I'l track you and maim you.

Your Father is the Dullard here not to have flushed you in the drains.

It is wrong to insult the president but how many people did u maim when gej was been insulted.

[quote author=xakakes post=34587686][/quote]Shame on you mister. Is it democraric for your president to call a meeting on this crucial morning of thd NASS election. You sound like an APC robot

Ezenwammadu:
The proclamation was read at the begining

Dont mind saharareporters it is the prejudice in their mind that made them not see the proclamation

solid3:
PDP would think this is a plus. They will soon realize.

Only time will tell.

Admit it pdp won todays game. We will talk about tomorrows game when tomorrow comes

Now this is the kind of news that makes me believe Nigeria will be great again. A certain Jagajaga has been thinking that The Federal Republic of Nigeria is Lagos state where he is godfather. This is democracy, God bless Nigeria

sainty2k3:
until u reason that saraki is Tinubu's choice

why are you doing this to your own self. Why telling youself what you already know is a lie

Winning123:
He would pay dearly for it in the future

He would pay for having an ambition to be senate president abi. Just look at your mirror and say that again and tell me what you look like

AbuMikey:
This is unacceptable!
Hasty Nomination.
Hurried assumption of office.


Saraki, just probably bit more than He can chew.


Or, what if Saraki was Tinubu's choice?

Relax man Saraki was never Tinubu's choice. Saraki just gave your man Tinubu a dirty knockout punch

PassingShot:
Better. May Saraki provide the kind of leadership we crave for the Legislature.

Amen! I agree with you bro

PassingShot:
My position that PMB is a true democrat hasn't been invalidated. Say whatever you like.

Ok my fellow citizen lets stop talking as the verdict has been given. Lets celebrate and toast to democracy in Nigera. The new reason why our leaders will do the needful is because they fear the electorates.
Lets celebrate Nigerians

PassingShot:
But this is not about PVC or no PVC. For the NASS to be inaugurated, the president's approval is a MUST. So, if he didn't want it to go ahead, he will not ask the Clerk to convene the House. Go find out.

Its abt pvc no. 1 because Buhari dont want to get into the black book of the electorates ( this would have brought back his dictator days to mind abi who does the fct commioner take orders from?)
No. 2 The main event today at NASS was all about voting my brother and in voting the president has no power over the voters choice. Stop attributing unneccesary powers to the president for your own good.

PassingShot:
If PMB didn't want this to go on, nothing anyone could do about it - fact.

Give it to him. he has never preferred one to another. He has maintained his stand to be ready to work with anyone that emerges.

If you have any evidence to the contrary, bring it forth.

ok I hear you. Right now I am celebrating Saraki's victory over Tinubu isnt politics sweet
And cancel that thing you wrote up there. GMB did naathing. He had no choice just as GEJ had no choice. The real power belongs to the man who holds a pvc ok

Oya Saraki begin to watch your back o. Because Tinubu does not know how to accept defeat o. Just like you were always a step ahead of him in this game you have to remain a step ahead of him for the rest of your tenure.
By the way I dont like you o. I just like the pain Tinubu will be going through now. Thats the game of politics

PassingShot:
Desist from all the lies and rumor you thrive on. The NASS was never sealed or invaded by armed officers.

Saraki has just won unopposed. The deputy is being contested between Ali Ndume and Ekweremandu.

PMB is living to all his promises. He has not disrupted the NASS proceedings in any form.

More respect to my able president.

Yea I got the news why typing thats why I added the last line abt him accepting Saraki. And by the way dont be so smart to cover up now GMB and APC attempted it this morning forgeting that power belongs to NIGERIANS

PassingShot:
What has happened for you to say this.

Is the NASS in session already?

What do you take Nigerians for, dumb? A whole independent arm of govt planned and fix new inaguration for new members before dissolving and on the very morning when the event should take place we have armed officers reversing participants of the event and you are asking this kind of question?
You know what? The guy you quoted is right because this is how the old COUP in Nigeria where done, ie you go to bed expecting the norm but wake up to guns driving you back.
GMB should do the needful now. Cos the way that I accepted him with his shortcomings that is how I will accept Saraki as Senate President there is. no hard feeling thats how life is

Hmmm every new day APC keeps repeating what it accused PDP for in the last govt. Before the last election I said I would rather vote for the Buhari of 2011 to the Buhari of 2015, simply because in 2011 he owed no obligation to anyone. But now the hawks he is in alliance with will call the shots.

Two things are involved: Either the strong men of APC are responsible for this undemocratic act or Buhari is responsible (secretly wishing for Lawan) thereby reminding me of the dictator in him.
We are watching closely

WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND IS WHY IT PAINS THESE PEOPLE WHEN JONATHAN IS CALLED A HERO. AS MUCH AS I KNOW THE PEOPLE CALLING HIM HERO ARE NOT COMPLAINING. EVERYONE HAS A CHOICE TO DECIDE WHO THEIR HERO SHOULD BE. SO WHY ARE THEY BITTER. THE OTHER DAY IT WAS OBY EZEKWESILI NOW THIS DUDE .
THE PEOPLE CALLING HIM A HERO WISH TO DO SO, WHY IS IT A PROBLEM TO YOU. IN LIFE IT IS LIKE THAT, GOD JUST BLESS SOME PERSONS EVEN IF THEY DONT DESERVE IT.
MR SYLVIA WITCHCRAFT CAN ALSO MEAN A DESIRE TO WANT TO PULL SOMEONE DOWN FOR SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT AFFECT YOU
