Nah he won't.......and I am not a south Easterner sha...lolz

princdebola201:
tell your leaders to corporate with wike or they will be dealt with

Lolz...You are so excited. I am happy for you ooo.

Where is this lie coming from

I remember the euphoria that greeted the choice of PMB as the presidential candidate of the APC. He was the talk of town and the object of admiration. GEJ on the other hand was insulted and maligned, there was a brutal campaign of calumny against his person. He and everyone around him were made to look like the cause of all Nigeria's problems including the civil war.

Three years+ down the line, the messiah and his lieutenants have seen that the issues are not what they thought it was and that it cannot be solved with a one size fits all approach. The messiah has now turned into the most incompetent liability that graced any elected office and the minister of power has seen that solving the power challenge of the country is not something that can be achieved in 6 months as they earlier proposed. If these leaders have any honour, they would resign since they have not been able to solve as little as one challenge that bedevilled the last administration.
This administration is a clear proof of the fact that karma is a bitch. Unfortunately they are yet to learn any lesson. They have failed to understand that it is a taboo to tie a woman in labour like a goat (no matter her offence) just because you have the might.
If you want to fight corruption, fight corruption, If you want to pardon corrupt officials and work out a deal, then by all means let it cut across board. Please someone should go and tell our leaders that no nation on earth can attain any meaningful development if there is no fairness and justice in the way it deals with its citizens. At 80 I thought baba would understand this simple principle of life, but he doesn't have the slightest clue what this is and I am asking myself what his eighty+ years on earth has taught him. If mandela did what he is doing, South Africa will not be were it is today.
The people that are being slaughtered like inconsequential pigs all over the country risked their lives on election day to vote for him as president, they deserve more than they are getting. If they had known that voting for the president would lead to their senseless slaughter they would have voted for another candidate. The president owes it to them to protect their lives, properties and interests. Nobody deserves to die the way Nigerians are dying. All that is happening today gives credence to the popular saying out there that "Nigeria will eventually kill you". Please let these senseless killings stop.

It is not a crime.

You don't need secure judgement from the court of public opinion if you have a water tight case. The has asked you to take him to court. Take him to court and let a competent judge decide

Everyone in authority up north that is not in support of boko haram and herdsmen but chose to be silent will most likely end like this ruler. They must rally round, declare their stand and cry for help from the world. If they don't the authorities supporting this ethnic cleansing will take all of them out one by one. They should start holding rallies and sensitization on what is happening until they get help.

Ekweremadu and PDP: Typical Case of Use and Dump
ON October 20, 2018 12:12 AM / IN
News , Politics / Comments
By Barnabas Nze
Last week, I predicted that despite his sacrifices and exploits for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in its darkest hours, Chief Ike Ekweremadu could still be jumped in the choice of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s running mate for the 2019 presidential election. Since the announcement would have been made before my article would be in the newspapers, I made it clear that it wasn’t a campaign for him, but retrospection on his roles in weathering PDP’s post-election defeat storm to turn it into the beautiful bride that it is today.

More so the man was reported to have told Atiku and former President Olusegun Obasanjo well ahead of the Convention that he was more interested in key issues like sacking the present government and restructuring than in vice presidency, which he said should go to any region that could help brighten the chances of PDP victory in 2019.

Although Chief Ekweremadu has benefited from the PDP, serving in many positions, there are also many others, who benefited far more than Ekweremadu, but turned their backs on the party at the most critical time. While some left before the 2015 election or stayed inside to work against the party, the worst, to my mind, were those who dumped the PDP immediately it lost the general elections, even though they benefited heavily from the party as Senate President, Speakers, Ministers, Governors, serving and former Senators and members of the House of Representatives.
Ekweremadu

Some left because they are incurable “long throat”, who always want to be where the milk and honey flows, but never ready to rear the cow or farm the bee. Some left because of skeletons in their cupboards and could not stand the media trial and harassment of being dragged from one court to another. Even some, who have no skeletons fled for fear of political witch-hunt. There were a few who left out of frustrations, some perceived, some genuine.

But Ekweremadu stood up to be counted when the PDP was down and out, when it seemed like the end of the road for the party, deserted by its teeming fair weather friends and well wishers. Ekweremadu and his comrades- the PDP contingent to the 8th National Assembly pulled a masterstroke at the inauguration of the 8th National Assembly. They did not only become the kingmakers that installed all the presiding officers of the National Assembly, but also ensured that Ekweremadu returned as Deputy Senate President.

Obi’s Nomination Receives Standing Ovation At Igbo Confab In USA
Expectedly, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) didn’t take Ekweremadu’s re-emergence lying low, for they well understood the wider implications. One of the APC chieftains who did not hide his feelings and wider implications of that development was the Chief Chris Ngige, who said that it was a bad omen for the APC that a PDP man had become the highest-ranking elected public office holder from the South East.

His words: “The PDP in the South-East will have oxygen to breath from since they now have the highest ranking person in Nigeria coming from the South-East, that disadvantages us and puts us in a difficult position on our aspiration to make the South-East people to join the main stream of Nigerian politics by aligning with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government.”

Ngige told journalists that Ekweremadu had made the job of the South East APC difficult, but vowed: “You know, there are many ways to kill a rat. You can decide to go and kill it manually, you can go and put it in hot water, and you can use poison – Gammalin. We are back to the drawing table because it poses a problem for us”.
Of course, many other APC chieftains and officials took turns to bemoan the development, threatened that hail, fire, and brimstone would be let lose on him.

But, Ekweremadu had an option- to dump the PDP and defect to the APC. He also had the option of betraying his boss, Saraki. But he chose to fight on faithfully. Beside the covert pushes to have him in the folds to take hold of the South East, there were also open overtures. On one occasion, the spokesperson of the Senate Unity Forum, Senator Kabir Marafa, said “The remaining problem is what we do with our Deputy Senate President — my leader and my boss. Let me use the opportunity to call on my leader and my boss, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, to please defect to the APC and that will seal the whole thing and there will never be a problem.”

On his 56th birthday, the Majority Leader, Senator Ahmed Lawan even waved the carrot of a possible 2023 presidential ticket at him. While paying tribute to him at plenary, Lawan said: “I will use this opportunity to urge Senator Ike Ekweremadu to see through the mist; this woolly environment and take the right decision. You are an asset. I want to say clearly that you are going to fit in perfectly well. 2023 is here (for you) for the taking”.
Ekweremadu survived an assassination attempt in November 2015. He was charged to court along with Saraki for alleged forgery of Senate Standing Rule, which they claimed helped him and Saraki to emerge. It was such an frivolous claim, Nigerians knew. They were nevertheless arraigned, even when there was no mention of their names anywhere in the police report. The Federal Government withdrew the case when it became clear it was an effort in futility.

The police stormed his official guest house in Abuja in search of phantom caches of arms, which many saw as a failed attempt to set him up. The Special Investigation Panel on the Recovery of Public Property headed by Chief Okoi Obono-Obla, who, ironically, was accused by WAEC of forging his WAEC result, came after him. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission also launched an attack when the hostage-taking of himself and Saraki on 24thJuly 2018 and the siege to the National Assembly for their unlawful refusal did not yield result.
Rather than surrender, Ekweremadu chaired the PDP Post-Election Review Panel that turned the fortunes of the party around and also zoned the presidency to the North. He rallied the South East to unprecedentedly become the hotbed of opposition. I have often imagined if there could have been any umbrella to shelter the PDP faithful or for the defectors to return to had Ekweremadu selfishly defected to the APC for immediate political convenience and immediate gains. PDP would have collapsed
patapata.
He also played key roles in the consultations that rallied block votes for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar at Port Harcourt convention on the premises of restructuring, 2023 South East presidency, etc.
Ordinarily, you would say that a man, who paid these enormous prices and played such roles, would have the right of first refusal. But since he wasn’t as keen in the position as he was in issues like sacking the present government, restructuring, and Igbo presidential project in 2023, you would expect that he would be consulted at least.
But as I rightly predicted, not only was he not picked, Ekweremadu and the same South East PDP leaders who held the party together during the tempest, who gave Atiku a block vote in Port Harcourt were also so disrespected that they weren’t even consulted or pre-informed. They heard it as “breaking news” like every other Nigerian.
They were also denied the right to air their displeasure over the slight and mistreatment. Instead, the real issues were twisted and Igbo sentiments were misled to blackmail them. No genuine effort was made to reach out to him and his name wasn’t even mentioned anywhere in the PDP Presidential Campaign Council. Neither the National Chairman of the PDP or Atiku has made serious moves to assuage feelings. It is only Peter Obi, who is left to begin late visits to the South East party leaders in a manner reeking with afterthought and fulfilling all righteousness.
This is another typical and unpardonable case of use and dump. I suggest to Ekweremadu to seriously weigh his political future with such an irredeemably unjust bunch.
As for we the South Easterners, when this frenzy of vice presidential ticket dies, it will begin to dawn on us that with Obi solely nominated by external forces, he is first answerable to those external interests, then Igbo’s. And obviously, Atiku has shown that he can’t be to his pact with the South East. not when we told him that South East party leaders don’t matter.

Shut up there

Everyone in authority up north that is not in support of boko haram and herdsmen but chose to be silent will most likely end like this ruler. They must rally round, declare their stand and cry for help from the world. If they don't the authorities supporting this ethnic cleansing will take all of them out one by one. They should start holding rallies and sensitization on what is happening until they get help.

This is a taste of their medicine. They did this in 2015 and now they want people to take the higher road. No way.

This is a lie

E don start. E want to tell us another " I belong to no body."

They don't need to threaten, let them leave. Who kills humanitarian workers providing relief services in times of distress. This should even provoke a coalition against the barbaric boko haram sect. It is irresponsible for this to happen and the nation is not in full scale mourning. It shows we have been desensitized.

Well I don't know these articulators, but I can tell you that an objective look at the video quickly shows that there is no date on it and there was nothing said the video that suggests that it was recorded after the invasion. Until such a time when such a video is realised, it would be best to assume that it is just propaganda from the people that would benefit from the re-emergence of Nnamdi kanu. This is my personal opinion.

ChrisMafian:
Reno the drunk. Who takes this jobless wailer serious?
Electricity generation has improved since pmb took over and that everyone can attest.
PDP looted 16 billion dollars meant for Electricity, ask OBJ

My brother I know we can all be objective. Are you saying Reno cannot hold Fashola to his words, Fashola set the standard for performance in the sector even before he got a taste of what the sector was like. The responsible thing for him to do would have been to apologize to the minister of power that he rubbished.

This is what you do when your body is all you have.

What is the proof that this was taken after the invasion. Is this not a mere propaganda by the ruling party?

Then make sure that the election is free and fair.

Itulah:
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, has said electricity supply in the country is improving slowly and that power problems cannot be solved by magic.

Total power generation stood at 3,729 megawatts as of 6am on Wednesday, according to latest data obtained by our correspondent from the ministry.

Transmission Substation, Lagos, commended the Transmission Company of Nigeria for the ongoing projects across the country.

“We have come to hand over this expanded transmission substation, the Ejigbo Transmission Substation, to the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company. This substation was built in 1970; the capacity was 60MVA then; except for the addition of another 60MVA, this community has grown exponentially; so they have exceeded the installed capacity here,” he stated.

The minister said President Muhammadu Buhari knew the substation required an expansion, adding that the capacity had been increased from 120MVA to 300MVA.

He stated, “Between that time and when President Buhari came three years ago, some people were there. But they will come back to you; so, when they come back, ask them if they didn’t know where to buy transformers.

“The problem of electricity is slowly being solved, one by one. Anybody will tell you he will do magic; tell him, ‘How?’ He should explain to you. We inherited 800 containers for power equipment left in the port for 10 years. President Buhari gave us approval, and we have recovered 690.”

According to Fashola, there are 90 transmission projects ongoing across the country, and some of the recovered of pieces equipment are being used for them.

“If you look at it, between 2015 and now, you ask yourself honestly: Are you spending more on diesel now or before? Are you running your generators for longer today or yesterday? So, are you seeing the power slowly staying longer? If you are truthful to yourself, you will know that it is better than yesterday. And we haven’t finished,” he said.

The Managing Director, TCN, Usman Mohammed, said the installation of the two units of 100MVA transformers at the Ejigbo Transmission Substation was funded by the World Bank through the firm’s project management unit.

He stated, “With the increase in the Ejigbo substation’s capacity, the TCN has substantially increased bulk electricity available in the substation for the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company to take to its customers. Consequently, electricity consumers in Ejigbo, Egbe, Oke-Afa, Shasha, Ikotun, Ijegun, and Idimu town will now have improved power supply from Ikeja Electric.”

“Other benefits include relieve of some overloaded feeders in Egbe, Shasha and Oke-Afa. Also, the Lagos airport will now have more load allocated to it. Improved power supply in these areas will positively impact the socio-economic development of the areas in particular and the economy at large.”

Shut up there Barrister Big mouth, this was not the song you sang before you were appointed. Provide power or be kicked out, you stopped being someone to be taken seriously ever since your last appointment. Loud it.

Sharing An Office With The Devil

Hello NL, i will not bored you up with much talk this time around, rather i will go straight to the point.

Early 2017 when i got a job in a construction company, i was made to share an office with a lady. Since i was new there, the lady was the one showing me around, introducing me to some clients, taking me out for lunch etc.

After some time, the lady demanded to know my house and i was so scared of taking her to my house since dad and mum are always against that. One day, i had to act like a man and i took her to my house. She admired my room and fell in love with almost every thing that was in that room.

She left my house that evening and the next day we still met at the office. In the morning of that day, the lady told me she wants to have a talk with me so i made up time to hear from her.

She was so uncomfortable when we went out to discuss in one of the eatry, but later she told me she wants to carry my baby, that she is 31 and she really want to have a child of her own, meanwhile, i am 29. I was so scared and bittered while she will say such a thing. I refused with a reason been that i am from a descent home therefore, my parents will kill me if i do such a thing.

Right now, any time i go to work, this lady will at times sit on the table, open her legs and ask me to see what is inbetween her legs. She will insist on kissing me at times. I am a guy that is always shy, i am not comfortable with her in that office again.

Please my good friends, what do you think is right for me to do in this kind of situation that i will escape this lady?

Take a good look at Wizkid and his baby mamas. Is that what you want.

afroniger:
That condescending remark by Ohanaeze towards Igbo presidential candidates (their own kinsmen whom are merely exercising their right to political participation) is quite unfortunate. They have really sold out to Atiku. Atiku Jazz on Igbo people is really strong, I must admit.




Nonsense. Unlike Ohanaeze and Igbos like yourself who are trying to defend the indefensible, Yorubas are not attacking the likes of Sowore or trying to intimidate them for choosing to exercise their right to political participation. Not even Afenifere has committed such blunder. What is wrong is wrong.

Why did Sowore not contest when Osibanjo first came as VP.

I instead of all this madness, you guys should organise peaceful protest in 36 states with a grand 10 million man march as the finale in abuja. This will send a strong message to the partisan security agencies and the world that we can see what is going on and would respond with out PVC.

So read more and brush up your knowledge about that topic you brought up.

Do have a great day ahead Mr MahatmaGhandi, the great man from India (one of the great men we respect in this world)

Credible news outlets have raised dust on this issue and it would have been better if you point me to the source that debunked it at least.

See how they are praising and supporting this rogue now, by the time he lands in jail, they will go on reverse quietly and zip up their lips.
Supporters of corruption EVERYWHERE!

Money got missing under Buhari as minister of petroleum and PTF. is he a rogue too?

EFCC is a joke. Loud it.

dynicks:
exactly what i keep telling people....d masses got no balls

Nigerians (with the exception of some northerners) are the most unreliable people to push any course in this life. You cannot rely on them to hold forth in your absence. The only people with balls in this country are the northerners and that is because they have the almajiris that are expendable. If you want to find out why the north has more rule and always have their way, simply measure the balls of the southerners against those of his northern counterpart.

distorted and baseless.

escodotman:
APC is bitting more than they can chew. By the standard APC has been setting since it came to power, if PDP gets back to power, I can see them paying APC back and making sure they never win any election in Nigeria again and are totally destroyed.

Nigerians are very docile and APC knows. This same thing will happen in 2019 and nothing will happen.

Dem don push am enter one chance bus, sotey he pack bags for vacation in detention....
Some people wicked sha.

They actually escorted him to the door of detention and turned back codedly saying carry your load from this point, we wish you what your people wished you!

Chai!

If they had insisted on staying na you for still shout say dem obstruct justice.
It is a shameful thing for Government to use the machinery of law enforcement as tool of political witch hunting. This is especially so when the head of the government is an old man that should otherwise know the negative implication of such precedence. Where is Oshomole, babachir, Tinubu and the others. When you see injustice call it by its real name.

Did he just release this response.
