You're wrong, what Nigeria needs is not goodluck or change but Good Governance

Btw Hillary Clinton is right

supersonic:
THE embattled Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Dr. Adewale Omirin, has reacted to the alleged directive by Governor Ayodele Fayose, asking the Commissioner of Police to arrest the 19 All Progressives Congress lawmakers in the state.

Omirin, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Wole Olujobi, said that the APC lawmakers acted within the law to conduct their sitting in a public building in the state capital last Friday.

He said, “The governor or the police cannot arrest us for performing our constitutional duty. Section 101 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria makes it explicit that the House can regulate its activities, including conducting its sittings in public buildings in the state capital.

“The Supreme Court had also ruled that the House can conduct its sittings in public places in the state capital if conditions exist that endanger members in the conduct of their sittings.

“Governor Fayose has kept armed thugs permanently in the House of Assembly to attack us. We can’t put ourselves in harm’s way, yet we have a responsibility to our constituents to make laws for good governance. That is why we followed the law to sit to consider issues on the ongoing constitutional amendment.”

Omirin explained that the House had a responsibility to respond to the National Assembly demand to send Ekiti State contributions to the constitutional amendment process.

“Ekiti State has just one House of Assembly. That is why the National Assembly acknowledged the receipt of our resolutions on the constitutional amendment.

“If they are sure of their status, let them approach the National Assembly or the judiciary for recognition,” he added.

Omirin said it was regrettable that Fayose had not learnt from his past experience when he allegedly instigated a constitutional crisis that led to the declaration of the state of emergency and the governor’s impeachment in 2006.

He told the Ekiti CP, Taiwo Lakanu, not to allow himself to be dragged into the political fray in the state, warning that the governor would bear the consequences if he caused conditions that could threaten good governance in Ekiti.

Well, all I have to say is:- RIP to PDP

In Doyin Okupe's voice ;

Those are minors because they're not a dedicated member and they don't believe in the dream of our dear clueless President but all-in-all we will win the election either by rigging or niggling , we now have over 21billion Naira from prominent Nigerians that are benefiting from our ''Enriching the Rich'' policy. Vote for PDP and let the transformation Agenda continue. God bless Nigerians.

Firefire:
WITH a few weeks to next year’s general election, President Goodluck Jonathan has warned aspirants who failed to realise their political ambitions under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) not to defect to other parties, in spite of the attractions.

This is coming as the ruling party has been boosted with a N21 billion war chest to prosecute the elections and oil its bureaucratic machinery.

The president spoke at the PDP fund raising dinner attended by Vice President Namadi Sambo, which brought together captains of industry, politicians and many other prominent friends of the administration, at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Saturday night.

Jonathan conceded that the party might not have been able to satisfactorily resolve issues arising from the primaries “but you must stay in the party in spite of attempts by other parties to poach you.”

He stressed the need for party members to stay together to resolve all the lapses, as he reiterated that plans were underway to reform the PDP primary election process to minimise sense of injustice in future elections.

The president also stressed the need to have strong political parties, which, he said, were needed in order to have a meaningful democracy, adding that having strong parties was more desirable than having strong personalities which could lead to dictatorship.

While assuring that the money realised at the dinner would be put to judicious use, the president similarly reassured that he would continue to promote enterprise and the unity of the country.

In his opening remarks, the chairman of the fund raising committee of the PDP and member of its Board of Trustees (BoT), Professor Jerry Gana, warned the party not to underestimate the threat posed by the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) to the chances of the PDP.

[b]The chief launcher on the occasion, Chief Tunde Ayeni, set the ball rolling by announcing a personal donation of N1 billion and another N2 billion from his friends and associates.

Gana also announced the pledge by his friends to contribute N5 billion to the fund, just as Hajia Bola Shagaya from Kwara State, representing the oil and gas industry, donated N5 billion on the sector’s behalf.

Other notable donors included the 21 PDP governors and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), N21.05 billion; the chairman of Deep Offshore, Didi Ndimou, representing the Transport and Aviation sector, donated N1 billion, the real estate sector, represented by Oluchi Okoye, donated N4 billion while the food and agricultural sector, represented by Chief Ominife Uzoegbu, donated N500 million.

Also, the construction sector donated N310 million, the National Automotive Council donated N450 million; Cizaly Ltd donated N250 million while the representatives of the power sector, led by Tunde Ayeni, donated N500 million.

Other donors included the National Association of Stevedores’ Companies, N25 million; former governor of Ebonyi State, Sam Egwu, N1 million; Halima Jubril, N5 million; and Ajuji Best Western Hotel, N1 million; among others including YouWIN beneficiaries and students.[/b]

Speaking before the commencement of the donations, Gana stressed the need for the PDP to mount an effective campaign in view of the threat posed by the opposition,.

He observed that the coming election would be very competitive because it would largely be a two-horse race, noting, therefore, that the PDP must not be complacent but campaign to Nigerians with the visible achievements of President Jonathan’s administration.

The former Information minister noted that having ruled the country for 16 years, the PDP had found itself faced with a serious challenge.

According to Gana, Jonathan had led a revolution in the critical sectors of the nation’s economy including railway, road infrastructure, aviation, agriculture among others. saying therefore that the President was a good candidate who he added the PDP was excited about.

How many millions or billions of Naira did they raise to fight Ebola scourge that killed 10s of Nigerians? N21Billion raise in a single night for JonaJona's 'Democracy-Threatening' re-election bid.

HzRF:
They shall continue to confess: Jonathan is a Good Man
But There is No Goodness in Governance –Amaechi
"Rivers state Governor, Rotimi Amaechi yesterday said
that President Goodluck Jonathan is a good man but
there is is no space for goodness in politics.
Speaking during the AIT program, FOCUS NIGERIA,
Amaechi said,
"I respect the president as a person. He is a gentle
man, he is a good man but there is no morality in
governance.
There is no goodness in governance. If you want to be
moral or want to be a good man, go to church."
Buhari DG don talk, badanmu

This is an insult on the President, so Amaechi means Jonathan lacks Moral and he thinks he will be a better pastor on the alter abi #MyCharityComment

I saw this coming, you are so pathetic and abysmally deranged, blame GEJ for everything. You need spiritual help because GEJ is the reason why you have not been able to swallow the meat in your mouth.

You should be the last person's post to give any serious attention. You a boy who has zero integrity, no principles and bankrupt moral base. You are a bigot, a
misogynist and a shameless, diarrhoea mouthed, pills
popping, eyes-bulging popinjay.

tell me any of the past leaders that is better than gej?

Be honest else amadioha will visit u this night

Maybe he wanted to say Richest but sincerely How many millions or billions of Naira did they raise to fight Ebola scourge that killed 10s of Nigerians? N21Billion raise in a single night for JonaJona's 'Democracy-Threatening' re-election bid.

Femi Fani Kayode and temitemi should be the last person's post to give any serious attention. Here is a man who has zero integrity, no principles and bankrupt moral base. He is a bigot, a misogynist and a shameless, diarrhoea mouthed, pills popping, eyes-bulging popinjay. A man who cannot hold down a decent intellectual debate without setting off course into ad hominem. Forget Femi, leave him where he stands, he is a jester. Festus Keyamo already did a classic job of exposing and summarily rubbishing his shallow mental recess.
Btw this is meant for only ffk but since temitemi shares the same mentality as ffk ,then he can reply in their usual way

datolee:
No it was not... 0.894 officially, but if you take your dollar to the bank for exchange, you will be given N1.7.. you want to know why? Because of mulitple exchange rate. 0.894 was fixed by the government for the importation of essential goods not the true exchange rate of the currency!!.. Read about multiple exhange rate. Even Buhari himself stated in his interview that it was between 1.2 to 1.5 to a dollar by the time he left office

Pls share me the link of the video of that particular interview orelse i will take you as a clown

Ok

On point

Mr. Abiola, aku isinmi oni, emi wa a se pupo ee.

Every state governor steal an unaccountable amount every month and through annual budget from the Federal Allocation in the name of SECURITY VOTES.

Have you ever wonder what they do with the money

That's why Federal government need to stop the
security vote money running to billions
which is been given to some states. Any state with
security lapses shouldn't be given this until such state/s hold grip
of related security issues within their
states. It could be argued that while some
states in Nigeria like Akwa-Ibom, Delta,
Cross-River, Ondo, Anambra, Eboyin, Lagos
to mention a few have embark on
measures to protect their states and
witnessing some developmental stride compare to states like ____ ______ _____ [make I know mention names] But instead our President won't take the necessary action and that's why he is always caught as being a victim of every problem.

Hmmm

onatisi:
so every road accident in nigeria is caused by gej ,abi? Then if u can't sleep at night ,u can blame gej for that as well .

"Another report also says, they were trying to run from the robbery attack which made them have a ghastly accident in which they all died."


May there souls Rest In Peace.

Killed by ghastly accident while avoiding robbery spot, not killed by robbers bullet.

klem93:
[quote author=onatisi post=29074610]and believe bro, in the next couple of minutes many will start blaming gej for this without even reading the article .

A couple based in Texas, USA, Mr and Mrs Don and Nkem
Okoro who were in Nigeria for vacation and to attend a
burial of a relation, have been killed by unknown armed
robbers who tried to rob them along Benin-Onitsha high
way on their way to the village to attend a burial. Their
two-year old niece was also in the car with them, and
sadly, they were all killed. Another report also says, they
were trying to run from the robbery attack which made
them have a ghastly accident in which they all died.
The Nigerian community in Houston who are grieving
however says their death was regrettable and it was
something that could have been preventable if only the
country was security conscious. They are survived by five
children.[/quote]So who is to be blame for Insecurity Me abi Or don't you read that part of the story

[b]Hmmm!!!!


What a country and our President will keep making empty promises on Security issue.

In 2011 he make so many promises On Security, which is the primary purpose of governance, the promises were not only unfulfilled, the situation got worse.
Mr. President promised that if anyone caught breaching the
public peace to face the full wrath of the law. He promised to make sure that no part of the country is allowed to be a
sanctuary for criminals anymore, yet Sambisa is a den of
terrorists. He promised to confront headlong ethno-religious violence in the country, pursue all bombers and bring a complete end to insurgency. However, as I write insurgency is still thriving in the Northeast with territories being taken, students being maimed, abducted and citizens displaced in their own country. The notorious Shekau has cheated death several times despite claims to have been killed by security operatives and oh, he even addresses the nation more than the President! To even make matters worse, a close ally of the President threatened fire and brimstone should the President go ahead with the groundbreaking takeoff of a proposed gas project in Ugborodo. Consequently, the President had to cancel the ceremony with the excuse of allowing warring factions settle. The failure of the security operatives to arrest and prosecute the individual further embodied him to abduct journalists, torture them mercilessly before releasing them for having the effrontery to cover the events happening in Ugborodo. Yet, nothing has been done to punish the said individual and kidnapping have become a day-to-day occurrence where so many lives has been wasted and now innocent couples are been killed just to show how insecure Nigeria is.

bushdoc9919:
Well, that may not be the case...there are some poor Nigerians who turn their back on crime....and work at menial jobs till they make it, and there are well to do Nigerians who steal, and steal.

When my sister was in secondary school, she heard this(true) tale. In a boarding school, there were two girls. One was rich and had twelve sets of undies., the other was poor and had just one set of undies which she washed daily. One day, the poor girls undies got missing. A search was made...and the poor girl's faded undies were found.,.....in the rich girl's locker.

The strange thing is not that the rich girl stole...but that she stole such a poor quality thing.

I guess we could reduce crime if we had a properly run country....but a few years ago in the UK....a young teenager was stabbed to death by five other teens on the orders of a young teenager he offended. Some people just prefer to be bad.

#Gbam ,that's true

yungcyrus:
..yea! Ebele is responsible for everytin......even 4 ur faded undies

That's true bro, if the educational sector is functioning quite alright and the economy system is standard::: Nobody will choose the path of bein an hoodlums.

Why

There is security issues in every nukes and crannies of Nigeria because our Mr. Ebele has failed us.

OLADD:

Stop lamenting about your penury and pitiable situation. Go on your kneels and ask for God's blessing instead of condemning those donating millions for a just course. Not all the people giving out billions are corrupt.

I swear to God ,you're heartless.... Boko Haram victims are there crying for help ,this stupiid people never give a damn about them and you're now hear calling ''enriching the rich'' a just course. Why can't they go ahead and donate that kind of money to widows, motherless home and the likes . Stop bein bias in your judgement because we are all #NIGERIANS.

Ohh

The man should have been kicked out of the military as a junior officer that's if he passed the qualifying exams to NDA in the first place
