And the true beneficiary of the oil is stylishly mocking the south South that the discovery of oil in Bauchi and Gombe will balance the oil equation in the country. Buhari is truly the most useless, senseless and careless president in the history of this country. I wonder where the likes of Lai Mohammed, Garba sheu and Femi Adeshina will leave when they leave this government.

Buhari and these Flatt headed poeple is five 5&6 in the show of hatred and unending envyness . As am seen it .It will be very diffiult for bubu to give political power to Igbos,Give Kanu freedom or allow Biafra to come in reality. Though Flatt headed poeple too are full of hatred and Insults . They failed to realise what is their problems but resulted in personal attack to every other Tribes in Nigeria. They always established on how to damage others but failed to build theirs politically.

Osinbajo: Nigeria’s problems will multiply if we break up.


Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says Nigeria’s problems will increase if the country breaks apart.


The vice-president spoke on Thursday when members of the Muhammadu Buhari/Osinbajo support group visited him in Abuja.

Osinbajo said “it is wrong” for Nigeria, which is the largest economy in Africa, to break apart.

“We must never relent in ensuring that we keep to the ideals of the country and we don’t lose sight of what we are trying to achieve here,” he said.

“People who suggest that the country breaks up, whatever may be the reason for their views, are certainly not correct and we must say so to them at every turn.

“The unity of this country is important for all of the different ethnicities, religions, everybody. Whatever the group or ideology, unity is important for every one of us.

“If you fragment, the problems are going to multiply, poverty will multiply.”


Osinbajo said the president remains focused on putting an end to insecurity, adding that the challenges bedevelling Nigeria will be resolved soon.

“The president has always remained steadfast and focused in resolving the problems of the country beginning with security,” he said.

“He is a steady hand; he is unflappable, he is not panicky, he is focused and looking at the security issues every day, and trying to advance the best possible solutions.

Earlier, Usman Ibrahim, the national coordinator of the visiting group, commended Osinbajo for his commitment to leadership and promotion of national unity.



Ibrahim said Osinbajo’s performance in office, his humility, loyalty, professionalism and dedication to duty were enviable.

Now you are being dishonest


If not for the electricity outage problem in Nigeria that has affected a number of factories over the last two decades.

Lagos/Ogun/Ibadan should house nothing less than 2000 factories manufacturing products from car tires to baking flour

And it will intrest you to know that 80% of those factories belong to Yorubas or foreigners or a joint venture between Yorubas and foreigners


We also have a number of factories in Ibadan that manufactures a number of products you use in East but you hardly know.

I guess Ibadan is also close to seaport.

You can see where his magnanimity has landed him. They returned his favor with hate.
I wonder when Yoruba will wise up. History tells us how Azikiwe became a leader in SW after Herbert Maculay handed over NCNC to him. Azikiwe converted a Yoruba party in to ibo party and started scheming on how to dislodged his hosts from the seat of power.
They came to SW with nylon bag through night bus, after we patronize them and make them who they are, they began pushing their agenda. I only pity the liberals.

seunmsg:
How come they are only industrious when they get to Lagos? Why can't they replicate their industriousness at home? Does it have to do with the excellent leadership of Lagos and the poor and visionless leadership at home? That they have to come to Lagos to become industrious is a campaign point for Tinubu. Kudos to him for bringing out the best in them. We need him to turn all parts of Nigeria to Lagos so that Nigerians can achieve the height of their industriousness in any part of the country and not in Lagos alone.

Nigerians must stand up and defend democracy


Following the refusal of Buhari to sign the electoral bill and the reluctance of the National Assembly to overide him, it has become imperative to put Nigerians on notice that our democracy is imperiled and faces serious dangers of survival come 2023.


Many Nigerians had hoped that President Muhamadu Buhari would write his name in gold as the president who bequeathed an improved electoral framework on the country. But unfortunately he missed the priceless opportunity when he decided to decline assent to the Electoral Bill 2021.


It is clear that by withholding assent to the electoral act amendments, President Muhammadu Buhari has shown a preference to retaining all the flaws of Nigeria’s electoral system because he and the All Progressives Congress, APC, are benefiting from it.

It is equally worthy to note that since the President assumed office, he has withheld his assent to virtually all amendments to the Electoral Act, even though he promised electoral reforms during his campaigns. What this means is that the President prefers to retain all the manifest flaws bedeviling our electoral system, from which himself and his ruling party are benefiting to the detriment of our democratic advancement.


The reasons advanced by President Buhari, for withholding assent to the bill is untenous and displays a morbid fear of a functional electoral system. Although the President is entitled to the discretion of his assent to any Bill presented to him, however, the reason adduced for the exercise of such presidential discretion must be legal and valid. It is clear that the discretion has not been properly exercised in the national interest, in this particular case.

The Constitution, the Electoral Act and indeed INEC, are to regulate the activities of all political parties, including their various constitutions. That being the case, the reason adduced by the President, for withholding his assent to the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill, that the said Bill violates the constitution of the political parties, is not supported by the Constitution which created the political parties in the first place.


Under and by virtue of Paragraph 15 (b) of Part 1 to the Second Schedule of the 1999 Constitution as amended, INEC shall register political parties in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and an Act of the National Assembly.



“By virtue of section 222 (a) of the Constitution, no association, by whatever name called, shall function as a political party, unless a copy of its constitution is registered with INEC.

“By virtue of section 223 (1) (a) of the Constitution, the constitution and rules of a political party shall provide for period election on a DEMOCRATIC basis of its principal officers.

“By virtue of section 224 of the Constitution, the Programme as well as the aims and objectives of a political party shall conform with the provisions of Chapter 2 of the Constitution.



“By virtue of section 40 of the Constitution, INEC is conferred with the power to register or refuse registration of political parties.




The registration of political parties is regulated by INEC in accordance with the Constitution and the Electoral Act. Thus, the constitutions of all political parties are to conform with these laws and not the other way round. It is the political parties that will amend their constitutions to conform with the provisions of the Electoral Act.



Nigeria is in dire need of a new and robust framework for the conduct of elections. The reform in the Electoral Bill 2021 will improve the quality of elections thereby imbuing citizens trust in our democracy.


Nigerians must not allow the huge human and financial resources that went into the Electoral Bill 2021 – from drafting to readings at the floor, the public hearing, the committee works, the retreat, the conference committee et al to go to waste.


The present mood in the country is the desire to have a new electoral law that will lead to a credible, free, fair, and peaceful process of electing leaders at various levels.


Nigerians need a system that will ensure their votes truly count in the election of those who govern them.


This proposed electoral law is expected to reassure professionals and youths,, many of whom steer clear of the political process because they have no confidence in the system. They believe the system is usually rigged and compromised.


One way to bring this active demography into the political system is to enact a new law that will give them hope in our nation. This Electoral Act [Amendment] Bill serves that purpose.


This is why we call on Nigerians to step up and act with immediacy to save our elections and her democracy.


With the next general election being just fourteen months away, we must insist that the the National Assembly invoke the provisions of section 58(5) of the Constitution to pass the Bill into law, through two-thirds majority of both Houses or be ready to face the people.


We must not allow the inordinate ambitions of a few self centered politicians truncate the goodness in the proposed electoral bill. Refusal to assent to the bill is not only anti people but also anti democratic. It is time to reclaim the civic space to save our hard won democracy

paramakina202:
I am still wondering why some group of respected Anambra elders like Okwadike and Mbazuluike Amaechi chooses to identify and associate with a criminal gang like IPOB they should rather allow federal government to deal with this terrorist because they ain't gonna bring anything good to the Igbo nation than grief and sorrow.

MelesZenawi:
IPOB/ESN thank you for killing another Fulani herdsmen disturbing our farmers in the forest.

Ndi Imo has carved a niche for themselves in IPOB by taking the centre table in wiping ndi anambra off.

The dialect I am hearing is that of ndi Imo and the idiot is proud telling his commander that they sent them to meet God..

Igbo love themselves indeed. No wonder we are always skeptical of these devil's willy ulterior motives preaching unity.

RIP Oga ndi Oga
