Bad belle post.

Imagine what the reaction would be if a man actually did this.

SeverusSnape:
We all know that El Rufai is a monsterous bigot and an unrepenant extremist. But seriously i don't blame him for saying that rubbish, I stay in the North and if you see the way these Alhajis and money bags are using our southern women Corps members, you'll weep. They throw themselves at the men because of money, It's a fact, Some sleep around with Camp officials because of juicy postings, El Rufai don see us finish na, You will hardly find a northern female corps member doing this.
These girls are giving them the opportunity to say trash about us. Rubbish.

The statement is bigoted, ashewo dey everywhere

Playing to the galary. Castration is not a legal means of punishment anywhere in the world. Let's not destroy a good course with stupid suggestions. The fact that some people among us behave like animals does not mean that we should become animals, if a rapist is found guilty, he should be made to face the full weight of the law and get maximum sentence, but to suggest decapitation in this age and at this time shows that the author of this speech is worse than the rapist, no wonder life means nothing to a lot of people. We must observe strict rules of decency even in the execution of well deserved judgment on criminals.

Na their kings dey kill them, if you are a traditional ruler and cannot defend or mobilize your people to defend themselves you are worse than an infidel and do not deserve a crown.

You don't have to attack, but if you are attacked you must send a strong ambiguous message.

I thought it was d main obj. More boys will still join cult dey wont learn smh.

Because Government have indirectly promoted and portrayed the products of these Group as ICONS worthy of emulation. You can count on one hand celebrities, politicians and public figures that do not have links to these groups or have not benefitted from their nefarious activities. Almost all of these Groups are registered as NGOs and they use give aways as propitiation for their sins against God and humanity. Unfortunately Nigerians accept the sin and peace offerings and then turn a blind eye. As a people we are morally and legally bankrupt, there is little or nothing we can offer the world as a group apart from pockets of individual brilliant minds that later get corrupted by the the evil majority. These cultists have fathers, mothers, siblings and other relatives waiting for them to "hammer" and bring home the dividends of their escapades.
This is the society we live in.

pjc:
You guys are f*cking running a private business more or less. Do what you gat to do to stay in business or quit. Some people are ready to take up the available opportunity am sure.

Private business that now has to carry 20 people instead of 70 people because of Government directive, come on guys let's be fair.

The fares of those buses is regulated by the government.
Government determined the farr and has stipulated how many people they can carry, is there anything private about that ?

Olukologia24592:
Despite the fact that you people made over 200billion in Q1, and lying there's corona?

Do you have the facts to back this up, just curios, M200m is a lot of money oooo.

Instead of telling us just do it and let us know you have done it.

A man that refuses to use his head will always need to use his funds even for problems that ordinarily should have no need for it

Non comes close to Eto. If Eto was a Field Marshall, Drogba and other African greats would be newly commissioned officers and nothing more.

Rajosh:
Hausa has no V in their alphabets

Hmmm interesting

You can as well tell me a Yoruba name that starts with z and one hausa name that starts with V

After the atrocities of the 2nd World War, if Hitler was a Nigerian, we will have no problem with him in the reigns of government as long as we think he is qualified.
Also, why should I be angry that Gambari after being one of those that enabled evil in the past is being called to serve, there are other people that also served in that evil administration that also rose to prominence inspite of all they did. Just call it a reunion of the Abacha administrators and appointees.

boyjo:
Abeg, I no too understand, wetin be soul?

The Soul of the Govt used to be in the office of the chief of Staff because Kyari was there. Now that he is no more, the soul would have to migrate to another office whose occupier has the kind of trust level that was reposed on late Kyari.

chloedogie:
Truth is Buhari has so many surprises in his sleeve. Wouldn't have ever thought someone from Kwara will be his chief of staff. That office is like the soul of the president. I am now believing the news I read few days back that a new cabal is cropping up.

Lolz, the soul has relocated. The president can move the soul to where ever he wants, the most important thing is to be the right hand man.

Talk is cheap, make practical moves and let us figure. These are just hypocritic political assertions and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

The fact that channels took down the video tells you a lot.

Generally speaking I will say the choice is yours. She made her decision, it is time to make yours but bear in mind that we will pay for our actions and inactions.

My advice is for you to leave, it might hurt you like no other thing for days, weeks, months and may be a few years but if you stay it will hurt you for life and might destroy you. Man up and leave, you have better days ahead, it is a good thing you are not married to her yet and she has no kids for you, it could have been worse, I thank God for your life.

Being in love with music in not antithetic to passing other subjects. How does he expect to be useful to himself and not be a liability if he does not comprehend at least the basics of maths and English. The boy was just irresponsible and I hate it when people make try to use their love for music or other arts to cover up their indiscipline and lapses in other areas of life. Loving music should not make you useless in other spheres of life.

Playing to the gallery Bro. Baba you are member of the executive, carry out your plan and stop the theories for applause gimmick, it no longer works.

The charges were withdrawn because people started clamouring for the arrest and trial of two imams that flouted the lock down and assaulted the team that went to sensitize them.

Na so China chop meat finish come dey make the whole world dey wash hand ooooo, una don start una own.

This cannot be true.

The other day it was Europe evacuating, now it is America! Sanwolu has talked about curfews. Baba these people are seeing what we are not seeing, e be like say this place wan cast now.

We are all happy that Jack Ma has donated relief materials to Nigeria. However, I am concerned about the test kits. A lot of companies have come up with test kits that have not gone through necessary testing and are using this to test the kits. I do not want a situation where we now depend on kits that would give false positives. I think the health officials should do everything in their power to ensure that these kits would deliver accurate results.

PerfectJUSTICE:
How did he get here? How did a seemingly beloved deputy slide from being the darling of his master into constituting a political nuisance that must be checked, caged and cast aside? How did he morph from being “the anointed one” into a dispensable sacrificial lamb now fit only for the day of slaughter?

What happened to the "bromance" between Yemi Osinbajo and Muhammadu Buhari? What went wrong with the reliable deputy whom Nigerians came to reckon with in the fluctuating face of an absentee principal?

Barely six months ago, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo touted the love that would never be lost, it seems, between himself and President Buhari.

“The President has taken me as a son in the way he treats me,” Osinbajo said during a visit to Buhari’s home state of Katsina while the boss was seeing doctors abroad.

“The amount of responsibilities President Buhari has given me shows he seriously believes we can live together as brothers,” he said.

That was in May, 2019. Osinbajo echoed the same sentiment in 2017 when the president spent over 100 days on a sick bed in the UK. Before embarking on that medical trip, Buhari temporarily handed power over to his deputy as stipulated by the constitution. But things do not appear to be as rosy at the moment between “father and son”.

Rift or not?



In case you didn’t get the memo, the president is currently on a “private” (read “medical”) visit to London and has refused to put Osinbajo in charge. To silence his critics, or “wailers” as they have come to be identified, Buhari’s hailers defended the move by arguing that the Nigerian president could rule the country from anywhere in the world.

Forget the fact that the presidency has denied any reported rift between Buhari and his official Number Two. But remember the words of the former minister president of Prussia and chancellor of the then German Empire, Otto von Bismarck, who admonished his audience to “never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied”.

There’s no rift, there’s no rift. But Buhari’s chief-of-staff Abba Kyari, the apparent unofficial Number Two, flew all the way to London to present the Deep Offshore (and Inland Basin Production Sharing Contract) Bill to Buhari who then signed it into law.

All is well in Aso Rock but Buhari fired dozens of Osinbajo’s aides. And after the vice president’s spokesperson dismissed the reports as “fake news”, the presidency issued a statement to the contrary!

Osinbajo still presides over the National Economic Council (NEC) but Buhari has constituted his own Economic Advisory Council. The vice president has also been taken off the administration’s legacy social investment programmes. One of such programmes, “N-Power”, is now reported to have been riddled with massive corruption under Osinbajo’s watch. The president has also instructed his deputy not to make any move without approval from “the oga at the top”.

And there are subtle calls for the former law professor to resign.

Where did Osinbajo go wrong?



It is sensible, but also convenient, to solely link Osinbajo’s travails to the tussle for 2023. There isn’t a way to isolate the vice president’s troubles from Nigeria’s next election year without appearing ignorant. But there is another variable we need to consider.

Two years ago, the consensus on the street was that Buhari may have already anointed Osinbajo to consolidate his legacy. But everything happening in Abuja right now indicates the president may be looking elsewhere for a successor.

And it could be that Osinbajo’s better-than-Buhari “oversabi” fuelled the present impasse.

“To whom much is given, much is expected.” That mantra applies to life outside of Nigeria’s political arena – a space in which increasing responsibility must, unfortunately, be reciprocated by bungling impassivity, and especially when the luminosity of a superior is at stake.

Robert Green, in his 1998 book titled “The 48 Laws of Power”, warns fellow humans to “never outshine the master”.

“Always make those above you feel comfortably superior,” the author advises in the bestseller. “In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.”

It seems Osinbajo’s failure to follow this admonition will rob the vice president of a chance to become president.



Who does it better?

Although Buhari was the former military dictator whom Nigerians expected to be firm in the matters of the state, it was “bloody civilian” Osinbajo who pulled his weight when an important security agency trampled on democracy.

Buhari failed to fire the former inspector-general of police Ibrahim Idris whom he openly accused of disobeying a direct order. He instead eased him out office after his tenure expired. Osinbajo, on the other hand, fired DSS chief Lawal Daura after the inglorious invasion of the national assembly, and with Buhari on medical tourism to the UK.

The vice president looked strong, and at the expense of Buhari’s spine. He outdid the master, essentially breaking the first and the most important law of power.

On the delicate issue of Biafra, Osinbajo maintained the hard line “one Nigeria” mantra but with a soft touch. In a speech he delivered in Abuja in 2017 ahead of the 50th anniversary of a the country’s bloody civil war, Osinbajo called Biafra agitators “brothers and sisters” and asked for their permission “to differ and to suggest that we're greater together than apart.” That rhetoric clearly contrasted Buhari’s decision to unleash the military’s “Operation Python Dance” on the secessionists.

President Buhari was the one claiming to be a repentant democrat. But Osinbajo showed the world that he was never a dictator.

On the several occasions that the president was away, Osinbajo would tour markets in Abuja, trade soothing touches and infectious smiles with everyday Nigerians creating the impression, even if unwittingly, that he was more human than Number One.

Osinbajo was a breath of fresh air for many Nigerians who took Buhari for a source of their hopelessness. And, now, the vice president’s political aspiration struggles for air with the presidential cabal zooming in for blood.

What now?

First of all, Mr Vice President needs to stop whatever he is doing right now and go read “The 48 Laws of Power” again. I don't want to believe he hasn't done that before. Read it again!

Also, Osinbajo must disregard the words of those pressuring him to step aside. The office of the Vice President presently shields him from whatever charges of corruption anyone may want to bring against him. Osinbajo must hold on to this immunity so he can successfully launch his presidential ambition, if he nurtures any, without having to look over his shoulders for Magu's boys from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The VP is no different from Buhari: he is actually worse because he claims to know and follow Jesus. If Buhari knew and followed Jesus the way the VP claims to know and follow him, he will not and would never support all the evils that the VP has turned a blind eye.
I remember his statement during the agitation for Biafra referendum. He insinuated that those agitating for the self determination have forgotten the lessons of the civil war. Question is, since when did self determination become synonymous with WAR? Ever since that day, I doubted the VP's calling as a pastor and to be honest, I doubt the calling of most Nigerian Pastors.

Why are they not being rehabilitated and reintegrated. Rehabilitation and reintegration should be the general template in Nigeria.

You must all come together and reject them as your governors and also proscribe them. They should all go to Abuja and never return to your home land.

So he did not in anyway echo their sentiments? they had to throw him under the bus! Well, since the Bishop is on his own, he should just resign before they give him a bigger blow.

RUGA is coming what a pity.
