HsLBroker:Yes, he didn't repair Ota road but he built Ibadan- Ilorin road, he also gave Gbenga Daniel money to fix Abeokuta road to Sagamu axis. Do you think if he has had more time, he would have abandoned the road? Nobody is saying hes perfect, but hes certainly better than PMB. We cant afford not to have the like of OBJ in this country. The same OBJ criticized GEJ APC applauded him, now the same people are truning against him. GEJ is a more matured leader, he didn't reply OBJ . |
That guy and the babe have no idea of what they are talking about. Let them ask the late Yar'dua why he stopped the completion of the projects. Let them also check the various report especially the one by House of Rep and EFCC.. No doubt OBJ is one of the most unappreciated leaders in this country. IS THERE ANY OF OUR PAST LEADERS THAT HAVE ACHIEVED AS MUCH AS OBJ FROM THE BEGINNING OF DEMOCRATIC DISPENSATION TILL DATE? If PMB can be complaining everyday about past leaders as reasons for his under-performance instead of taking responsibility, we should not even attempt to criticize OBJ that inherited the military mess especially from the worst leader in Nigeria history -Sanni Abacha( Who deserved to be scrapped of all types of honour in this country), unfortunately, that is the man PMB choose to commend. Cant we see PMB dose not mean well for this country? SANNI ABACHA THAT DIVERTED BILLIONS OF NAIRA THAT IS STILL BEING RECOVERED ABOUT 20YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH? Donald Trump is still trying to help us recover about $500m out of these loots. Yet, your PMB appreciate the killer of Kudirat Abiola and persecutor of NADECO in chief to OBJ? I am just afraid for Ashiwaju Bola Tinubu, I hope he can see what am perceiving? For the record: OBJ meet just a paltry sum of about $3b in Foreign Reserve, with very huge debt that could strangulate our economy, the man OBJ, did not only work tio increase the foreign reserve & excess crude account to well above $68b , he cancelled the entire foreign debt which your man PMB has joined successive leaders to exacerbate to a level IMF is getting son very worried about today. In fact I get so nauseated by all these cry against OBJ that I begging to wonder if people have a sense of history or they are delibartely working against people that means well for this country. Most of the people making comments on this forum should be reminded that the telephone handset and the internet services they are using were introduced by OBJ government, an effort the Abachas wasted money on without breakthrough. I will like to use this medium to express my gratitude for the excellent analysis done by Babajide of TVC Journalist Hangout on this matter. If for speaking out the truth and for fighting corruptions ( at least in the most effective way so far), some people think they can attack this man any how of social media, they will FAIL. Nigerian should note:OBJ was the first and only Nigerian leader to have fired the MD of the then NEPA/ PHCN just because we had system collapse for three days. He then tendered an apology to Nigerian. Has PMB deemed it fit to ever make a public apology to Nigerians on any issue? What happened to the monthly interview OBJ use to grant on the state of the nation? Has PMB deemed it fit to grant similar interview about his government/ Why is he afraid of facing Nigerians? It was after making relentless efforts to renovate the existing power plants in the country failed that OBJ embarked on hurried building of power plants towards the end of his regime. What did PMB kinsman do to complete those projects? He simply connived with Ibori to mess up OBJ, ensure that those equipment rot away in the Port? Thankfully the man OBJ has said it over and over again, he is not afraid of being probed. Nigerians are however wiser, you cant probe him for political vendetta. Yes, because he also criticize GEJ much more than PMB to the applaud of PMB fans. I say this with deep respect for GEJ, he did not attempt to muzzle opposition. Otherwise, Lai Mohammed should have being a former tenant in one of Nigerian prisons. GEJ , again completed most of the project started in power sector by OBJ, yet OBJ criticized him. For the record, I am not in any way connected to OBJ, but I appreciate performance and hate sentiments. |
Oga FFK I know the meaning of your names; Femi, Fani Kayode but I dont understand all these oyinbo names o. Please dash the boys one yoruba and Igbo names each. biko, E jowo sir. Anyway congratulations sir! When are you going to hang your booth? |
Here is my advice. Look for a job outside Abuja, probably Lagos, move to your work Location, let her miss you for a while but continue to fulfill your obligations by sending her money no matter how small with evidence. Let the parents know you got a job outside Abuja and you will only be visiting at months end or: Seek for a Master degree outside the country with scholarship do not disclose untill everything is perfected , let her know to be able to fulfill your obligations as a man, you need extra qualifications since the job is not there, at least when you return, you can be a lecturer. At least you can have a temporary peace . |
PMB /APC government are experts in blame game. Now, we had an OBJ that made good attempt to reposition our power sector after renovation of existing old plants failed to give results. I can remember, for the first time in history, a sitting president, OBJ coming on live Television to apologize to Nigerian for the collapsein power system for three days and the sacking of the then MD of NEPA/PHCN. IT WAS WHEN HIS ATTEMPT TO RENOVATE TGE OLD POWER PLANTS ABADONED BY MILITARY FOR MANY YEARS FAILED TO YEILD THE DESIRED RESULT, THAT OBJ EMBARKED OF HURRIED BUILDING OF POWER PLANTS. Unfortunately, Yar'adua messed it up on the platform of politics on blame game.The same strategy another Katsina man is employing now.? It is time for Nigerian to open eyes o! |
deomelo:Have you forgotten that it is the same PDP that institute d a probe ? Probably to indict OBJ because of his previous anti corruption fight and the intentions of the sponsors if Yar'adua like Ibori to silence him? The last paragraph is very instructive, Let PMB go and work and stop blame game. |
The failure of Nnamdi Azikiwe and Obafemi Awolowo to unite and form government in the first republic. The failure of UPN to win second republic election thereby bringing Shagari upon us. The unfortunate emergence of one black general called Sanni Abacha |
[quote author=EastGold post=67u and you have no solution to it[/quote]In fairness to the man, as VP, his power is limited especially when you have a president that decided to sorround himself with only his tribesmen. It is therefore ok to speak out a National Security Council meeting, but it will be irresponsible for him to be making public condemnation of a government where he's number 2. Let's give him benefits of doubt that the man will not ignore the senseless killings. |
Sometimes I cringe when I read the responses of South Africa government to. International matters. The SA opposed the invasion Libya and removal of Murmar Gaddafi, now they are recalling the Ambassador to Israel after indirectly aiding killings of hundreds of Nigerian/black Africans. Nonsense! |
hopefulLandlord:You will know the truth one day. I pray you know the Bible truth here on earth before it is too late. Miracles were not carried out in the by Jesus to satisfy human curiousity or for competition. The man of God has completed his own mission on earth and has gone to rest. You despise Christianity because of that? As true Christians, it is our responsibility to pray for those that despise us and persecute us. If God can use Saul of Thasus and change him to a leading Apostle of the word, all hope is not lost on you. |
midolian:OBJ may not be a saint but, when you do a comprehensive comparative analysis of OBJ government and all the successive government including the present one, OBJ government will come out as the best. the facts are there: PMB always blame the previous GEJ government for her failures. I wish to state that OBJ met a worse situation that PMB. Our Foreign Reserve was just a meager $3b or thereabout left by Abdulsalami's government. OBJ did not seat on blame game, he did not only work on the humongous debt burden and ensure it was paid and cancelled, he grew the Forein Reserve to about $48b and about $20b in Excess Crude account. The security crisis was there during OBJ regime. The Kano Sectarian crisis, Plateau Hausa vs natives crisis, Agulere vs Umulere in the SE , the Udi crisis in SS. The man OBJ tackled all. OBJ was faced with serious political crisis and opposition. The National Assembly was always boiling due to our learning process of Democracy. Do you remember the Chuba Okadigbo Evan or Evan(s) saga? or the young speaker Buhari that was impeached? etc. The man despite being confronted with such diverse crisis, did not blame the previous military government but he worked at stabilizing the polity and the security of lives and property. The GSM you take for granted today was not a small achievement by OBJ especially if you ever experience going to wake up by 3.00am to queue all days at NITEL office to call a love one.Abacha issued the same license and it failed before OBJ made it a reality. What about the pension reform act 2004 that transformed the administration and management of pension in this country. Those of us that have retried love one that have suffered due to poorly managed PFA will understand and appreciate this better. Now workers can be sure of something to fall back on in old age. PMB , had the opportunity to arrest Maina for misappropriating pension fund, rather he chose to promote him untill it generated serious public furore, yet he allowed the man to escape. Shall we talk about anti corruption? OBJ did not only set up the body EFCC, he used it as much as possible to fight corruption till the corrupt ganged up against him to say he abused rule of law and was fighting political enemies. We however know that he did nort spear his IGP Tafa Balogun when he was caught misappropriating public fund,( his IGP did not ignore the national assembly, an institution that should be strengthened to check the exclusiveness of the executive) unlike a president that refereed serious grave of grass cutting by SFG to administrative panel that allowed the man to go home. Many OBJ's minister were arrested by EFCC but PMB AG recently renegotiated an already completed Abacha loot recovery to pay certain individual about $16m and nobody is talking about it. The Abuja stadium is there and we know from and can remember under military regime when Major General Adiza from Ilorin was minister of Works and Housing that he said Nigeria would require a Wordl Bank Loan to dual-liase Ibadan -Ilorin road, but OBJ , started that road with many other simultaneously in this country without borrowing a dime. In terms of appointment, OBJ did not single out the Yorubas to favour. We can see what is happening in presidency. In summary, OBJ may not be a saint, but he appears to be the best so far. At least better than this APC current president. |
MIKOLOWISKA: ![]() From your argument, if we decided to ignore the authority institution called the National Assembly, you can be sure the same knife will cut-off the legitimacy of the executive and by extension Mr IGP office will cease to exist. Anarchy ? Orderliness is better Bro |
stanluiz:The man speaking in the video is a Yoruba Muslim , not just a Muslim, an Imam. Take it , education makes the difference. He is not against Islam but against hiding behind Islam to subjugate other people's culture, value systems and rulership through deceptive religious imposition. |
I will like to appeal to all well meaning Yorubas and other well meaning Nigerians to support this man. He is not against the Fulanis but against injustice that has been foster on a group of people through indirect colonization. If we can condemn apartheid in South Africa, it is time to redress the imposition of Fulanis as Emir on a Yoruba land on the pretense of religion. Will the Yoruba leaders support this man? The call for correction of historical error is as valid today as in the time of our own Nelson Mandela. Will our Southern countrymen and Middlebelt support this movement for correction? It not only necessary but compulsory . We know that the killings in Middlebelt that in ongoing can result once again in a type of Ilorin Caliphate. Will the likes of Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi , Sultan of Sokoto etc be happy with this call ? I doubt. Will they fight back? Most likely. What then are our expectations. The Ooni of Ife, the Alaafin of Oyo etc must unite urgently and engage their northern colleagues as well as engage the Federal Government on the need to correct the error of the 18th century in the 21st century. The Emirs can be the king over the Fulani settlers while the Yorubas that are majority should be allowed to operate their kingship with adequate recognition as first class king in Kwara State. |
sunnysunny69:Hey, I beg to disagree with you! If he has the files, he should work on it. Files are not meant to be kept for decoration. Some members may have issues but hey, we are talking about the National Assembly as an institution. It is not about Saraki or Dogara. His action is an affront against Nigeria, against Democracy and even against PMB. Oh, why do you think people respect him as IGP? it is not because he has gun and instruments of coercion? It is the authority conferred on him by the law, it is that law that created his office, gave him Uniform and allocated resources to that office. The national assembly has the power to make and amend the law. In the absence of the law, IGP is Mr someone on the street. |
The IGP appears to be more powerful than PMB or how do we explain the public disclosure by Mr.President in Benue State that he was not aware the IGP did not carry out his directive to relocate to Benue State? How do we explain the promise made by the president to investigate the incident to which we have not the outcome of that investigation as at today? If anyone refuse to heed the invitation of the Parliament , the Legislators will direct the IGP to arrest. Now, who will arrest the IGP? The law will have to take a look at that. The IGP to the best of my understanding is not only disrespecting our Legislators, he is disrespecting Nigerians. Who can we blame? Of course it is the president that appointed him into that office in the first place, he has the power to relief him of his position and he should, except Mr President want us to belive that IGP is disregarding the second arm of Government on his instruction. It is definitely impossible for him to act in that manner if he is not sure of the support of the president otherwise, his removal from office will only be made known to him though the press. Who then is subverting our hard earned democracy? The IGP, the Legislator or Mr President? My answer is Mr. President. |
binoosmart:You must be coming from another world. Perhaps you are ignorant of Logo Politics and by extension the injury the boy Governor has inflicted on our people in Kogi state. As the situation stands today, Dino can defeat GYB even in Okene. Hungry people don't have friends. You can't starve me of salary to feed my family for 27 months and expect me to follow you simply because you are from my tribe.Look, our eye has opened. I know however that Dino is one of the architects of the crisis in the state. |
MrHowto:I will never spear him for allowing killings in any part of the country, Zamfara is not an exception. However when killings are pronounced in Christian dominated territory and knowing how sensitive this matter is, I expect Mr President to be on his toes to dispel all forms of insinuations. |
This lady should allow Donald Trump to be. Yes, he said Christians are been killed but at the same time he also said the killings if both Christians and Muslims is unacceptable. I put it to this lady, do you think PMB would have handled the Benue killings the way he handled it if it were in Katsina state two Imams were killed? If the killings at Gwer were in Daura, would Mr president have retainwd the he service chief for not having solutions to the killings especially the IGP that failed to stay behind. It is not about history, it about attitude towards the crisis that is giving us Nigerian and by extension the international community which Donald Trump is respresenting serious concerns. That prominent Nigerian Muslims leader choose to be silent is not strange. The Sultan and his group did not show much concern to killings of Christians by Boko Haram untill they start attacking mosques. Rather they find it more comfortable to criticize CAN for speaking out. |

Mogidi:My brother this isn't a FG project.Let us beg our state governments to provide similar empowerment project.Let us also pray that God will touch thier herth to do the right things for the citizens . it appears to me some of this northern governors are doing better these days than the southern governors. They have the land and the trucks to farm.what else? Make money? |
Can anyone blame this man? If the allegations against PMB's tribesmen has not been refuted and the president promise to query the IGP the last time he managed to visit Benue after endless outcry against his insensitivity to the killings, is it out of place to call on people to defend themselves against killers? If we turn the table around and assumed the killings going on in Benue were taking place in Katsina, and perhaps Daura is under seige like Gwer, would Mr.President's attitude towards the crisis have remained the same? Would the IGP and the Service Cheif still be holding their offices? Would he be commissioing roundabout in Bauchi if two leading Imams from Daura and Or Katsina state have just been slaughtered with some worshippers? Can Mr.President convince middle belt state he truly care about thier security like he cared when he rushed to Daura the other week to attend the burial of one of his relatives? Now in Benue hundreds are dying!��� |
sirusX:The bolded : That is the main thing this guy need to know and do. Life can be beautiful and sweet again for you. The girl that defrauded you wasn't met for you in the first place. She was a learning cure. |
Benue should approach the right international organization for help. If the FG appears helpless in protecting them, I they should seek UNO and AU's help |
Untainted007:But is that not the right thing to do? Am not a member of RCCG. However consider yourself as the GO of an organization like to RCCG with a high probility of members like the pastor in discussion, what would you have done to prevent endless ligations from former members that have stopped attending your church, or imagine a former member that turned to Muslim and now want to convert the property within the RCCG camp into a mosque? It is time to be reasonable and stop following this Daddy Freeze blindly. How is it his problem if I decided to give all my income as offering? Why can't he try similar campaign on Muslim Clergy and see if will be able to walk free ly in the North? |
Mr Amaechi, please link Lagos - Ekiti - Kogi - Abuja by Railways. Don't allow all the good things in Nigeria ellud those of us from that axis because of our location. I believe the tarrif increase is a joke from you the Hon Minister. Biko remember us. |
onyeawka80:That was my experience too. I can't understand what he's trying to achieve by wasting peoples time? If yes so sure let him provide good evidence of payment and the procedure for claiming earnings without story. |
Your whatsapp number is incomplete. Correct it and I will contact you. |
Do you think PMB will listen to you? Ask Tinubu and you will know you are just wasting your time. The only people the man in Aso Rock listens to are Daura of DSS, His Chief of Staff Aba Kyari, and the Attorney General and Minister of Justice. All Fulani. It is unfortunate we have a president whose only body language is dangerously in favour of Fulanis at the expense of other tribes in this country. He has successed in making other tribes in Middlebelt and entire South (perhaps with the exception of a segment of Yoruba) to hate the Fulanis. The way we are going if care is not taken, Nigeria will need help to stop tribal and religious war. The killings in Plateau, Benue, Kogi and Taraba still continue and the man want another four years!? |
binsanni:My Senator Dino Melaye, thank you for your current position. Although you brought Yahaya Bello to affict us but it is good you are the one fighting him now. Please let me ask you one big question. WHY CANT YOU UNIVERSITY WITH CHIEF FALEKE JAMES f to safe Kogi from Yahaya Bello? |

That's a low point for me.... rather wish her well and move on. Life is too short to look back when there are better things ahead. Even if he was still richer, that doesn't define you
