Let's get this clear, even if dogara is removed today, will it change anything? bottom line is that the 8th national assembly of both the senate and reps are a bunch of disgrace and PMB has himself to blame by looking away when they were picking their leaders, that very day was the beginning of his woes in stirring the ship. we all know he meant well but he was too politically naive to allow the emergence of even a pdp member as dsp. Baba should just find a way to live with dogara and saraki for the rest of his tenure, I however wish him good luck in the adventure to edge out the rebels but it was an avoidable one in the first place.

Dogara's stay or removal isn't my point, it's the gagging I'm against, the matter is a national issue, it is not a party affair.... And you are correct, Bubu's naive "i can work with anyone" posturing gave birth to this and it will continue to haunt him... When people (crooks themselves) who know how the crooks in NASS operate advised him, he turned dat hin ear wey dey pain am sontains.. to dem, now the mess no wan clear for ground...

Firefire:
Eyes don dey clear.

Na you eye dey pain.... I've always seen clearly, In that moment in national history, Nigerians made the reasonable choice, and pls don't come with your campaign of calumny crap, that ship sailed long long time, Nigerians are not foolish... Tell your story to the ignorant , tell it to Dasuki, tell it to Olisa and co..

Buhari is making his own gaffes but it still doesn't change Jona's IB status.... Bye!!!!

Beremx:
it's so shameful that Biafra media outlets are the ones spreading lies about Aisha Buhari's visit to U.S.

Sis, they have an audience to cater to, they must keep their misinformation going...

Pavarottii:
U will be disappointed very soon. Remember this quote. U r standing with sheriff, so when did u become a PDP member?

Must I be a PDP member to stand with Sheriff? No... OK I stand with Jonathan who is standing with Shekau Sheriff.

TippyTop:
Why am I not surprised you stand with Sheriff? But don't worry, Sheriff will be standing alongside you in APC very soon.
APC remains his traditional abode am sure you'd all welcome him with open arms.

You don't love Shekau who is going to win you 2019 anymore? Why nah? It's not fair oo..

Mynd44:
Nigerian politician dont have friends. Believe me, those guys are not friend just common interests or one has the other's noods

Politicians can't be the "I gat ya back anyday", kinda friends I agree but these two have been kicking it since dem NYSC days... and Ali Modu has Jona's noods join.. person nor dey talk dat one again for public.. Jona know hin "reach", better safe than sorry.

Who nor go fear Ali Modu? Even Fayose is choosing his words carefully...

TippyTop:
They should leave Dr Jonathan alone. When there's problem in Zambia the AU calls Johnny boy, if it's Tanzania they call Jonathan, Congo nko na Dr J.
Haba!
Allow the man to rest na.

Rest for where, there is none for the wicked, he brought your beloved Ali Modu Shekau Sheriff in, he alone will mend fences which he is doing.... I'm surprised you aren't cursing him sef!! You didn't have a change of heart, that I'm sure of, you are just covering up your heart ache.... Sheriff is chairman and will be presidential candidate!! It's PDP's destiny.

#WeAllStandWithSheriff

Mynd44:
Or maybe just maybe no one in the Markafi fraction can take on Sheriff and he knows it.
Sheriff is no small fry and he comes with the extra advantage of a heavily fortified pot of gold in his war chest. If the PDP keeps fighting Sheriff, he will tear the PDP to shred.

They should have known that before inviting him.

A classic case of inviting trouble with one finger but having trouble pushing it out with both hands... Mynd don't you also think the relationship between Jona & sheriff has something to do with his stand? It's only the uninformed that isn't aware that Jona and Ali Modu+Idris Deby are as thick as thieves...

Fayose will soon come out with another sucky story!!

MXrep:
you are even talking about Lagos port, another gross injustice to the eastern coastal areas. port is not a natural resource but an FG infrastructure that can be replicated anywhere along the coastline but FG are only interested in lifting oil in the eastern ports while making Lagos the only profitable port for consumer goods

Let's analyse this since you are being civil...

Are you aware that Jonathan proposed huge waivers for importers to use Onne but they bluntly refused? They also claimed that it's more expensive for ocean liners and that the amount of sea pirates (a product of militancy and criminality in that area) around that area is alarming....

FG isn't making Lagos the most profitable, circumstances did that... Population is a major business driver, Lagos also is the most accessible for west African neighbours... Business never thrives on sentiments, it's purely about profit and loss, business folks will always choose the quickest route to recouping their investments and maximum gain...


kindly do your research and fault this if I'm not being factual.. I'm waiting... Thx.

dafuturis:
Don't know why uduaghan is still a free man. Not a single thing he did for 8 years amidst high oil price, even bursary he didn't pay me.

Hahahaha.. , I can feel why your vex bin plenty, don't mind the guy... Ibori did so well for bursary matter for Deltans when I be student (mine was 3k & na once dem gii me), ALL of us used to wish we were deltans, imagine 10k in those days!!

Jonathan is up to something.... and seems he is also hell bent on shaming his supporters.

He passed a subtle message about keeping Nigeria as one just a few days ago, shortly after, he's asking for Sheriff's supremacy to be recognised, something is cooking!!!

Keneking:
Useless party at the centre

Kene don vex!!

Progressive01:
This has gotta be the worst decision the party has taken so far since Baba assumed office.

What putrid nonsense!!

Why gag him now?? What is wrong with exposing corruption wherever it exists??

So angry at this news honestly.

Nope, this isn't, the decision to not "care" who presides over NASS affair is... This travesty is a direct consequence of that false sense of piety...

TheTrueSeeker:
Jibrin still doing what APC said he should refrain from doing.

Private Letter has leaked to the media...!!!

How did this letter get to the press?

He will soon be suspended by the Party and the House of Rep.

And so? Does the party even have control over its members??

Jibrin should find other means to keep the public informed, They are not the boss of him! We didn't chase out simple pads for always!!

It's highly likely the people in charge of this APC people's party affairs have developed amnesia about what managing Diezani/Sanusi drama and Abba Moro's immigration scam in-house did to PDP's fortunes... They keep trying it, we keep increasing their rope, they......
Why?

The goodwill has been battered (incase they are living under a rock), won't serve them well to destroy it....


Mtcheww... yeye people.

Why?

Seems this APC people didn't learn anything from what came out making Diezani/Sanusi, Abba Moro's immigration scam in-house affair.... The goodwill has been battered, won't serve them well to destroy it.

Mtcheww... yeye people.

FFK while standing on his pseudo christianity soap box is living with a woman he isn't married to, who also had a child out of wedlock for him. I'm still waiting for the part of the holy book that is ok with that...

He is free to continue with his brand of divisive politics, it won't stop his court case..

Oksman:
I have always respected your views on critical nationa issues but i beg to differ on this completely. In as much i do not support their method, they are known to employ unreasonable approach in their struggles to succeed. Your definition of the 'qualities' of freedom fighters is wrong, study their methods, the palestinian freedom fighters/terrorist, boko haram freedom fighters/terrorist, make silly demands for convicted mass murderers to be set free in exchange for innocent human lives, how about the talibans, abu sayyaf in phillipines, jonas savimbi in angola, the tupac amaru shakur in peru, they all have one thing in common, they employ criminalism and sabotage in their struggle and i don't expect them to be any different from their ilks. And mind you in as much as you disaggree with them, they always have the vast majority of the locals as their major supporters.

Thanks for your rejoinder, one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter, BH asked to exchange some kidnapped people for their incarcerated members, every group will always try to negotiate with what they have and from their place of strength... ND are no different, it's a fact of life.

I don't disagree with the ND people or their methods (it's not within my power to object either ways), I'm just reiterating that it's a recipe for failure.... It didn't work in the past, isn't working now & it won't in future!! It's an agitation that is being prosecuted for pecuniary gains of some selected few... There is no sense of "Everybody wins"..once a group is settled, then it is Uhuru, with the major grouse unadressed... Ken Saro Wiwa didn't die for the mess the present crop of pipeline vandals are making of a noble cause...

If you observed, I highlighted "unrelenting", the sole reason for doing this is to show that, any struggle that can be "paused" for any reason other than the actualization of the goal will kill the spirit that propelled the initial agitation.... Focus was never part of it, the drivers of the movement didn't have an objective beyond "make we chop too"..... Did civil rights activists ever take pause till they got what they wanted? Now we have BLM, it's dynamic.

Taking amnesty & pipeline contracts killed the REAL struggle, what we have now is just some aggrieved people hiding under the umbrella (no pun intended) of "vengeance" to vent their frustration, nothing else.. The stupendous and obscene wealth of a few militant warlord effectively buried it.. we can however refuse to face reality and continue to run around in circles....

Thx..

Onegai:
Yes na! Sorry for mentioning you, I didn't know I was arguing with a not-so-smart person. That is Dulles International Airport, I know it so well.

You can't out wrestle and win a pig in a mud fight, walk away and don't look back..


On to better matter... how ya doin? Lil Angel kicking? Stay blessed.

dearpreye:
Nature abhors oppression and injustice, you know that very much. It's not abnormal to see a few miscreants make a mess of a supposed noble cause.

The FG knows what to do to solve these issues once and for all. The issues outlined by the folks from the Creeks make a lot of sense. We know it's a question of time before the oil becomes of little value to us a region. We've been shouting against this collective oppression and stealing of our resources for decades.

I'm not interested in surveillance contract talks. Besides we have the best means of securing our oil. Nigeria will keep going in cycle till eternity if it doesn't stop its constitutional stealing of people's resources. Soon, it may be yours the FG will steal.

I just said it, humans can never be seperate from their emotional leanings, so I can never ever fault you for it but what is the FG stealing?

There is a constitution, it may be flawed but it empowers the FG to administer resources on and underneath the soil, irrespective of its location... there is no stealing of anything, Lagos ports serves the whole country, revenues derived from its use benefit everybody, it's the Law!

When you say the FG know what to do, I guess you mean resource control, that isn't going to happen, not because I have a problem with it but because the law makes no allowance for it..

I know throwing in 13%, amnesty, NDDC etc won't make my argument valid but still if those had been well managed, the story would have been different, Just read about how Orubebe shortchanged people due to be compensated for losing their properties to a road construction...Those are the leaders talking about oppression, right? Issokay.

70% of what? Maybe Indonesian business sha.

If they control 70%,Dangote nko? All the multinationals and FMCGs in the country nko?

They should just stop being bipolar, playing victim mode and claiming marginalization, at the same time chest beating and throwing out non existent data are incompatible!!

Stick to one narrative peoople, dammit!!

dearpreye:
The Lugard's criminal enterprise, of course.

It is hard to seperate emotions but this mode of hit pipeline, retreat, govt repairs, hit again, repairs, and again and again won't make any difference and deep down you know it....

The militants are not serious about liberation, the few doing this aren't doing it for communal good, it's cos they have an axe to grind and surveillance contracts... Real freedom fighters are focused, detailed, swift and most of all "unrelenting". asking for amnesty for corrupt entities and co isn't ground for legitimate struggle.. end of story.

I don't even know how to take this.... Population and traffic ehn!!

Babzrockman:
If were to be American or Bristish public office holders, u people will say hardworking o. Now that a governor did same, it's now madness.

What is the right thing to do in Nigeria?

Don't forget, he is an Engineer also.

In Agbada? really? What about safety gear?

That is unsafe practise and you know it , methinks he's just posturing for the cameras..

satelliteDISH:
One day we will all wake up to realize that dangote controls everything in Nigeria. Nigeria selling its scares resources to just one man. We are doomed.

You are the doomed one, is he stopping anyone ready to go into his line(s) of business?

The coal in Enugu, is he tying the hands of Enugu hiz developers from harnessing its potentials..

How is this political news? & why so mush rehashing of this event... allow the boy RIP!! Enough..

3Div:
I'm surprised you'd say this, there's Adejare Bello, Sen. Akinlabi, Akogun Lere e.t.c These are politicians of note from the Osun West Sen. District still in the PDP besides haven't APC lost their goodwill in the state ?.

NB: Omisore is no longer the 'dictator' in Osun PDP. That's why he created a faction.

I do not know the day to day drama of Osun PDP but i heard there is a division over who is chairman or something of that nature, i can't be too emphatic.

One thing i can however say is that , even though the names you reeled are no lightweight, there is/was a reason Omisore got the nod then, though his stock has plummeted further.

As for losing goodwill, i won't go into a debate about that.. in the run up to 2014, same narrative of losing goodwill pervaded the air,events in Ekiti also added some impetus but we know how things turned out...

There is national hunger and people are naturally & justifiably angry with the party at the center.. It's not easy to transition from an era of free money to austerity. but i won't hold my breath that it will make a huge impact on anything.... Bayelsa is owing salary, Delta is, Osun isn't peculiar..

3Div:
Well.. You know your politics and you know Osun State.

What about other parties ?.

If by other parties you mean PDP, (the others are just pretenders) I don't think we even need to talk about it.. PDPians of note defected ages ago, there is no funds coming from the centre for any new entrants to procure support, Omisore is presently in soup, who else is left under the umbrella?

This would be funny if it wasn't so serious!

Terror terrorising terror!! Warris dis..

Mynd44:
Uncle Alhaji Putin.
Tuale, I hail oooo

I spoke too soon..

Mynd44:
When I see recession figures and government policies, I smile inside.
Okomu oil posted a 41% rise in pretax profits as more local firms patronise them due to forex restrictions on certain goods. News like these are low key
Alhaji Putin is churnning numbers, grinding figures and creating opportunities.
More businesses are looking inside and these is great. It will keep like this and we will advance.
But it is how I love it, Low Key

Say what? , Nice, very nice.... There's so much pain & hardship right now but there is no great nation that is import dependent.... We have no choice but to be less easily affected by Forex foibles..




I see some not so smart folks bleating about monopoly.. I see a smart & savvy man taking care of business...

All hail Alhaji Putin!! Don't know why he doesn't just kuku buy Nigeria an get it over with.
