Kwankwasiyya!!! One of my favourite governors. I don't even know why I like the man sef.

Not blowing trumpets,there are very very few people who know me in real life that don't love me greatly,men and women alike
I have a very attractive personality everyone says and a giving spirit
I have friends that speak to me to hear my opinion before important decisions
Everything on this thread is me in my real elements,
forget all those yabbings and getting back at annoying folks in the politics section

Hmmm... okay ma. Carry on...

Dear senators,

Please leave the elections alone and focus on passing the budget and PIB.

Thanks...

Babyosisi is such a sweet, wonderful person.....

Jonah And Sambo Arranging their Life after May29

I hope you noticed that APC lawmakers were among those that passed the constitutional amendment. I hope you also noticed that the beneficiaries also include the speaker, who is a member of the APC.

We're talking about amending the constitution to devolve powers from the centre, remove immunity, remove items from the exclusive list, remove that stupi.d provision of every state producing a minister, guaranteeing autonomy for local government etc. etc., but these ones are approving life pension.

So much for "austerity".

Kontinu.

Behold, the "representatives" of Nigerian workers.

when a cousin of Stephanie okereke allegedly rape a lady in Maryland, Stephanie came out to condemn it and demanded that justice should take its rightful course, Now Fashola who has been shouting justice knows about this battery, assault and injuries to that woman by her uncle kept silent

How do you know he "kept quiet"? You want him to address a press conference condemning wife abuse?

Some of you hacks on Nairaland just don't know where to draw the line.

Was there a "Federal University Otuoke" in 2007?

samplegirl:
With all due respect that guy is into other things more than what he claims. He left his shop to meet someone in an uncompleted building in a lonely place. Please let someone give me a break.

Some folks are into all manner of things to MEET UP. What manner of a GENTLEMAN goes to see someone in an uncompleted building by that odd hour.

A case of loot sharing went sour!

So what's your point? That he deserved to die?

Not surprising. The uncertainty surrounding the election date will delay investment decisions and cause investors to stay away, depriving us of the much needed inflow that would help prop up our currency. The naira may fall as low as N220/$1 before the elections.

Not that the government cares anyway. Whether or not the economy tanks, Doyin Okupe will get paid.

People should take time to read properly and not fly blind on a misleading topic. The case itself has not yet been dismissed.

I don't expect the suit to fly anyway. GEJ is eligible to contest.

Last convulsions of a dying sect. Your time is up, blood suckers.

Jordan executed two Al Queda prisoners as promised in retalliation of the Jordanian pilot, Moath al-Kasasbeh burned alive by ISIS yesterday, a government spokes person confirmed.

But Al-Qaeda is a completely different terrorist group from ISIS na. Abi?

Even Al-Qaeda condemned ISIS sef, saying that they were "too extreme". http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2721417/So-wicked-Al-Qaeda-disowned-Letter-Bin-Ladens-hideout-warned-Islamic-States-extreme-brutality.html

All enemies of the state should be properly police.

I hope the same treatment is given to Asari Dokubo.

The statement said the soldiers were first noticed in the area at about 11.00pm on Sunday.

It said, “They stationed about 500 meters away from Tinubu’s gate. Later they moved close to his gate as if they want to enter the premises. The stern looking soldiers were around for hours on Sunday and returned on Monday to continue their surveillance.

“On Monday night about 10.45pm, they returned to the residence in two army vans and were there throughout the night. Some of the soldiers discharged from the van and walked back and forth in front of the house and around the house.

On Tuesday morning, two vans from the army were stationed on both sides of the house with their missions shrouded in secrecy.

They couldn't even be discreet about it. Even if you want to monitor an opposition leader, do you use soldiers or intelligence agencies?

Smh...

Eluwilussit:
If Atiku would have done better than Jonathan, he certainly will be better than Buhari. Why didn't APC go for him then? Hypocrites.

It is natural all over the world,in election periods, investments hang. People are cautious because of policy change.

You're supporting his point. That is the more reason why the elections should have been conducted quickly and gotten over with.

Meanwhile "APC didn't go for him" because the primaries were a free and fair contest won by Buhari. If APC top shots had decided to give it to him, people like you would have turned round and accused them of "lack of internal democracy".

Not sure the government of the day cares. Economic downturn or not, the idiots at the National Assembly will still get paid.

Read, people, read!!! She rejected the money!!! The OP even emboldened that part of the report!!! Read, people!!!

The undiplomatic language used in that letter gives it away as a fake.

Solomon kini? I thought Jega was supposed to be the referee?

Kwankwasiyya movement well represented.

Another important question is why the "subsidies" being paid on kerosene are not included in the annual appropriation bill sent to the National Assembly, as is the case with petrol subsidies. Why should NNPC be allowed to pay subsidies on kerosene from its own revenues (effectively spending national resources without appropriation) unlike petrol subsidies that are provided for in the budget (and can thus be better monitored)? Where are the checks needed to ensure that NNPC does not collude with oil marketers to defraud Nigerians?

And the NNPC in its defence says:

NNPC said in a statement last year that it can't force retailers to sell kerosene at the subsidised price.

So if the retailers cannot be made to sell kerosene at the subsidized price, why should they still enjoy subsidies? Why should they be allowed to remain in operation?

Questions, questions, questions.

Interesting article. I urge us all to pay particular attention to this part:

Sanusi’s documents identify three key mechanisms through which Nigeria has allegedly allowed middlemen to channel oil funds away from the central bank. Among the recipients, Sanusi alleges, are government officials and high-flying society figures.

The three mechanisms are: contracts awarded non-competitively to two companies that did not supply services but sub-contracted the work; a kerosene subsidy that doesn’t help the people it is meant to; and a series of complex, opaque "swap deals" that might be short-changing the state.

I'll be very interested in knowing whether the PwC audit covered these specific areas mentioned - for instance, why the NNPC has been paying billions of dollars in "subsidies" for kerosene, yet the final consumer gets to pay N120 - N150 per litre as against the subsidized price of N50. Also, what is the position of the law on the circumstances under which oil assets can be sold, what companies they can be sold to, and the terms under which oil production agreements can be sub-contracted?

Let's keep asking questions anyway. The truth will come out one day.

Saturday (tomorrow) is February 7.

It is "shameful" when PDP politicians are doing it. But when Fashola and Aregbesola distribute cash and recharge cards it is "progressive", right? Pathetic.

Shame on Nigeria, this train is wearing our National colours as if it is meant to mock us.

No it's their national colours, not ours.

Congratulations to the people of Ethiopia.
