Vuk all yo

I nearly mistook the dark guy on red tie in the 3rd for a mon key!

I fear secret, bloody reprisals!

Wonders...

Governors Murtala Nyako (Adamawa State) and Babangida Aliyu (Niger) are next in line for sanction by the PDP for alleged anti-party activities, it was gathered last night.
The plot to suspend them is already tearing the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party apart.
The PDP has suspended two of its governors- Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers) and Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), in the last two weeks for alleged insubordination and the National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur has warned that the party leadership will no longer tolerate indiscipline ahead of the 2015 elections.
Nyako, Aliyu and Wamakko are believed to have voted for Amaechi during the disputed election of the chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF).
The party leadership and the presidency wanted the PDP governors to line up behind the official candidate-Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State.
Amaechi won the election by 19 votes to Jang’s 16 to the embarrassment of the Presidency and the PDP.
It was gathered that NWC, during the week, received the report of a committee set up to look into some petitions allegedly written against Nyako and Babangida Aliyu by party members in their states.
The committee, which has as members leading chieftains of the party, according to sources recommended the suspension of the duo.
However, some NWC members are alleging interference in the work of the committee by the presidency.
They say they cannot vouch for the impartiality of the panel and are kicking against the recommendation that the governors be suspended.
Besides, they believe that the party is courting trouble by thinking it can take on too many governors at a time.
The pro-sanction group, led by Tukur is said to be bent on implementing the recommendations of the committee. Sources said that if Tukur and his supporters have their ways, the two governors’ suspension will be announced anytime from now.
Tukur is from Adamawa State and he has been having a running battle with Nyako in the struggle for the soul of the PDP in the state.
A source familiar with the development said:”The situation now is that having realised that the current face-off between the governors and the presidency is affecting the popularity of the party adversely, some NWC members are urging the leadership of the party to exercise refrain in further suspending the governors.
“But there are those who are determined to implement the recommendation of a committee set up to investigate allegations against Nyako and Aliyu. The two have been recommended for suspension.
“The argument of those opposing further suspension is that the party’s popularity is dwindling. There is also the argument that suspending Aliyu will pitch the party and the presidency against the entire north considering his position as the chairman of Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF).
“For Nyako, his suspension will be seen as a fall-out of his face-off with Tukur and this will not be good for the party’s image as a democratic organisation. But it appears the chairman and his supporters have a mandate to deliver on the suspension move. They are determined. But those opposed to the move appear to be equally insistent. That accounts for the current stalemate on the matter,” an insider source explained.
Sources said the presidency, which is not backing down on its desperation to have its loyalist, Jang, recognised as the chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF), is behind the plot to axe Nyako and Aliyu.
A few weeks ago, the Niger State governor publicly declared that President Jonathan signed a pact to do just one term with northern elders in 2011. His relationship with the presidency and the party has been strained ever since then.

Tears in ma eyes. God bless you for ur invigoratingly insightful piece!

I don't want to go into details but I well nigh died in '09 when Chidiogo Helen dealt me her deathly blow by leaving me when all seemed to be moving fine and without explanation!

Don't pray to experience it!
Explanation can save life and limb.

But of course that should not be a surprise in view of what the world has become today!

Madness!

Powerball winner wanted for child support
By Lorenzo Ferrigno, CNN


A A A (resize font)
(CNN) - The New Jersey man who won $338 million in the Powerball lottery last weekend is wanted on charges of unpaid child support, according to the Passaic County Sheriff's Office.

An arrest warrant was issued for Pedro Quezada in 2009, the sheriff's office said. He has five children ages 5-23 and owes a total of $29,000 in back child support, spokesman William Maer said. It is not clear which children the payments are for.

Quezada's son, Casiano, said his father has hired an attorney and is "working through it."

A child support warrant usually results in payment, an installment plan or arrest, Maer said. He declined to comment on the Quezada case because the investigation is ongoing.

Every person who wins more than $600 in the New Jersey Lottery is checked for outstanding taxes, liens, child support payments and the like, lottery spokeswoman Judith Drucker said. The funds owed are deducted from the winner's final payment, she said.

Quezada has chosen a lump-sum cash jackpot payment that will amount to about $152 million after taxes

Eight PDP Governors Move to Defect


https://serving.thisdaylive.com/0bef99d6-acf5-4e2c-9779-8fa02ba3fcd4/assets/100313F3.Rotimi-Amaechi.jpg?maxwidth=400&maxheight=540

• PDP will have 15 states, opposition 21

     
As political calculations towards the 2015 elections heighten, it has emerged that at least eight Peoples Democratic Party governors are set to leave the party. It is not a question of "if" but of "when", said a senior political actor familiar with the developing strategy.

The governors are those of Rivers (Rotimi Amaechi), Adamawa (Murtala Nyako), Kano (Rabiu Kwankwaso), Jigawa (Sule Lamido) and Kebbi (Seidu Dakingari).

Others are Governors Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto and Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara.
To underscore the frustrations of the group with PDP, three of the Governors: Lamido, Kwankwaso and Wamakko boycotted the PDP peace parley in Kaduna yesterday, which had Vice-President Namadi Sambo in attendance.

THISDAY has learnt the eight governors are firmly resolved to work together politically, claiming that they have been "thoroughly marginalised in PDP" and have lost confidence in the party leadership, which they say has been totally "commandeered" by President Goodluck Jonathan and the Aso Rock political apparachik.

The governors, according to several sources, have come to the conclusion that their political fortunes can only dwindle in PDP and as such are weighing their strategic options and next political moves having reached some political "agreement-in-principle" with the Bola Tinubu and Muhammadu Buhari - led opposition merger group, All Progressives Congress (APC), after several meetings in Lagos and Abuja.

“The governors are, however, agreed on a number of decisions at present,” sources close to the state chief executives told THISDAY.
One of these is to approve the agreement with and move en-mass, with the Senators, House of Representatives members, state assembly members, local council chairmen and political structures at all levels in their states, into the opposition APC. 

And in doing this, they will be keeping their political structures in their states, at the local government and state levels, intact and alter the political landscape of Nigeria effectively making the PDP-led Federal Government a minority government as they will then have 21 state governors against the PDP'S 15.

PDP currently has 23 governors to the opposition’s 13. They will have absolute majority in the House of Representatives, given the numbers in the North-West, and share power in the Senate depending on which Senator follows them.
In their discussions with APC, they are also seeking guarantees and assurances of equality of membership, a level-playing field, internal democracy at the federal party as well as the adoption of their political leadership structures as the legitimate leadership of the merged APC in their states.

In the race for the presidency, they are demanding full internal democracy and total transparency and openness in the choice of the presidential candidate of the emergent coalition party.

According to sources, the eight governors have cited various reasons, ranging from marginalisation, moves to hijack the PDP structures from them and using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to persecute them, to other untoward moves against them, as reasons for their move to defect.

They also specifically complained that under Bamanga Tukur’s leadership, PDP had allegedly perfected the moves to dismantle their leadership of the party in their states, and weaken them through federal ministers and friends of Aso Rock.
These ministers, according to them, are being empowered to fund parallel political structures.

For instance, the Rivers State governor allegedly spoke of marginalisation within PDP, plans to prop up his former ally-turned–political-foe to hijack the PDP structure in the state from him and moves to oust him as chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum and promote his arch-political rival, Akwa Ibom State Governor Godswill Akpabio in the process.

Jigawa Governor Lamido has also complained of persecution within PDP leadership because of the rumour that he has presidential ambition resulting in the use and unleashing of EFCC on him as exemplified in the arrest and prosecution of his son by the commission on flimsy grounds.

For Kwara Governor Ahmed, his political godfather, former governor of the state, Senator Bukola Saraki, has been marginalised within the party for allegedly daring to contest against President Jonathan in the build-up to the 2011 election and for moving the motion in Senate that paved the ground for the probe of oil subsidy fraud.

"Despite being proved right with the uncovering of huge subsidy fraud, Saraki should be praised and honoured as a whistle-blower, instead the Villa is using the police against him," said the sources.

Governors of Sokoto, Kebbi and Adamawa involved in the defection plan have also cried of marginalisation and persecution within PDP, while Babangida Aliyu is said to be facing the same charge as Lamido: "nursing a presidential ambition in 2015".

For Kwankwaso of Kano, the charge of marginalisation is even worse: the sources say he has never been consulted in any federal appointments in Kano and no one in the Presidential Villa has ever called him to discuss his security challenges and find out how he is coping.

The sources insist that they are not sure if the Presidency called him with any support after the last dastardly Kano bombing, which claimed 25 lives, but point out it was Bola Tinubu and APC leaders that came in a symbolic gesture to see the Kano people "in their hour of need".

“The president does not call him to find out how the state has been coping in respect of the incessant bomb blast,” another source close to the governor lamented as all attempts by Kwankwaso to reach the president to discuss the security problems have proved abortive.
The defection would be a major blow to the PDP and is said to enjoy the moot support of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

If that is true, Nigeria could witness a major alliance of the North-west where most of the defecting governors come from, and the South-west, controlled by the Action Congress of Nigeria.

Following the 2006 population census, the North-west comprising seven states and with a total population of 35,915, 468 followed by the South-west with six states and a population of 27, 721, 832 have the highest of the six geo-political zones.

Other zones and their populations are as follows: South-south-21,034,081; North-central-18, 963, 717; South-east-16,395,545 and North-east-14, 331, 233.

When contacted, a senior presidency official said he was not aware of the development and that he would check.

And Enugu!

Ahmadu Ali himself: And you people still don’t recognise him, especially the Yoruba people who are totally ungrateful kind of people in this country.

You want me to quote you as saying that?

Put it like that. They are ungrateful.

How sir? Yoruba leaders said Obasanjo was unfair to his people throughout his time in government.

What do you mean by being unfair to them? He is not a tribalist and he was not ruling a Yoruba kingdom. He ruled Nigeria. My own kingdom is one of the oldest kingdoms in this country –Igala kingdom. By 1100 or so when the barbarians were invading Britain, Igala was already a kingdom. How do you expect the man to behave?

Many Yoruba said Obasanjo was determined not to hand over to Obafemi Awolowo in 1979. They said Obasanjo administration of which you are part robbed Awolowo of victory at the polls…

Don’t talk rubbish. You are talking rubbish. That is the stupidity of the press and the self-appointed Yoruba leaders who are failures in their various fields of endeavour. They are just a total failure. How can you say, in an election where one candidate scored 12 million and showed presence in more than 12 states out of 19 and another candidate scored five million and showed presence in only five states, you then give it to the second person? What is democracy about? Is it a game of numbers? All the argument is about 12 two third? What is two third? The man had 12 states and 12 million votes. Awolowo had only five million and only in five states. You want to go and give it to him? Yoruba are another character..

Good reasoning

East get 2 --Enugu ,Yenagoa

West get 1 Lagos ( while is as the largest population)

North get 3 Yola , Abuja , Kano

Stewpid divisive fool!

Is Yenagoa in the East?
And is West the largest in population?
And assuming without conceding that Yenagoa is part of the East, then that will include all the South South states making the 'East' have a total 11 states far larger than the 'West'.

U see how clearly eediotic u stupidly are?
Coupled with your abysmally terrible English!!!

Therefore,may the Devil punish u and ur generation for your highly more than divisive and barbaric utterance in this matter.
Uncircumcised retardeen.
Anu mpam!

Sir, do u mean Victor Ikpeba?

Oga @ T T

The EFCC Oga @ d top oughta kno that a suspect is deemed innocent until proven guilty and should resist the urge to publish images or parade the suspects otherwise their own Oga @ the top must frown @it oh!

I kinda smell the hand of Omowunmi Allen in this! Smh

1MCN: Some1 has asked if 'Election' was the best way to 'Elect' God's Chosen Leader. My brov, the Cardinals dont actually ELECT, that's just the use of human language to convey the idea. You could see this even in the way u used the word, "Is election the best to way to elect..." So the process is not truly an election in the sense they teach in Pol Sci class.
To my frnd who is wondering where Caths get their doctrines from, although the Chr is Apostolic, it is important to note that it is also Organic-it developes.
People talk abt an African Pope, the chr does nt run itz leadership on quota system or fed character. Even if a Pope stays on the seat for a day befor death or resignation he must hav fulfilled his mandate as divinely prospected
For those who say this is the last Pope befor the anti-Christ, well, thatz never mine to decipher when Christ comes, bt i can only spk from Christ's promise and authority concerning the Seat of St Peter that "... The gates of hell shall not prevail against it." He went further to say " I shall be wt u til the end of time." History has breathtaking records of the devil attempting to infiltrate the powers, strike the Sheperd so that the sheep may scatter (even using so-called xtians who're either uninformed or misinformed or malinformed to blackmail the Chr) , bt from them all the Lord delivers the Chr.
I dont kno wen Christ returns bt I sure do kno that we're closer now than we ever were. Bt whether he coms evn after a couple million yrs or after i drop tis comment, I hop to be found worthy of his Friendship

God bless u mightily.

KnowAll: Out of those 3000 policemen, there could be a traitor amongst them " Etu Brute" and u too Brutus, says a dying and shocked MaCbeath.

Empty barrel. Its not MaCbeath but Macbeth. And not Etu Brute but et tu Brute. Coupled with your appalingly v.bad English. Mnwl, it was Julius Caesar who said that and not "MaCbeath" and contrary to ur name u know absolutely nothing and sound like a simpleton.
