I went through the list again and saw our uncle Doyin (formerly) Okupe's name on the register. These people to shameless.

It is not even up to a week ago since he was postrating for the hill top chief and blowing kisses as though he is homosexual.

I just wish Donald Duke had stayed out cos this won't end well………or quickly

I'm still wondering why any of them think they have any relevance, Deji Adeyanju will go with the Fayose faction, dem nor born am well to go with aPDP, that's political suicide..

NL's resident neutral/Pseudo analyst must go with the "Local Ekiti Politician", none of dem get any shoosh!!

BTW, Shekarau don cast!!

omenka:
Think I need a cold bear and a good roasted fish to digest this lovely news this lovely sunday evening.

Who's coming with me?

Holla at one of your numerous "loves" here, I'm sure one would happily take you up on your offer & try not to look away for a second , otherwise, a squirt of cyanide would find its way into ya drink!!!

Mynd44:
Abi oooo. That former governor of Ogun (with running nose every time) is also there flexing non-existing muscles.

When the party was going under, they were quiet ooo.

Wait though, Deji Deyanju does not support Fayose, does this mean he is with this group or he will go form his own?

My bloda, na so we see am.... Baba Babatope who has never been known to have anything positive to his name too join dem...

Grace Bent whose only qualification for a Senate seat is who she is married to....Donald Duke own, i sincerely don't understand, he should quit active politics and just be an objective critic of government policies.....

BTW, why are party people allergic to paying dues to finance party activities? Once nothing is coming in from the centre, things fall apart..... If they had been well grounded due paying members, Fayose & co wouldn't have sold them to a money long who has delusions of grandeur of being president simply because he is friends with two presidents..

OAUTemitayo:
Are you an ife graduate ma?

I'm no fan but the breakaway faction are just wasting their time..... Where were they when their party couldn't pay their secretariat staff's salary?

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/pdp-to-reduce-staff-strength-salaries-allowances-by-50/

Fayose & others have already shopped for money long Ali Shekau, and ensured a hostile takeover...

They should name their new party a-PDP , Aggrieved Peoples Dejected Party... May God forgive Mo..

Firefire:
Huuun, pa pa un pa re ee, o lohun pa 'aja.


Buhary why?

Tinubu nko? High chief of Neverland, You are slacking big time..... You couldn't even find a way to slip it in, no matter how ridiculous or irrelevant?

Where is mai foto?

Joarams:
Bitter and as wrong as he sounded when he made that statement, I believe he added a caveat which not many spinners are referring to. He was asked about forming an inclusive government and he responded that it's simply a political reality to respond to people who put you in power (with over 90% of votes) more than those who didn't (with less than 5% of votes) but that this wouldn't affect his constitutional responsibilities to all parts of Nigeria.

I'm Pro Buhari but there are some things some "specific" people are not allowed to say... No matter how factual it is, it's called PR management.... No two ways about it... I get the intent but like you said the spinners are having a field day with it...

amaechi1:
My brother, may God bless you every seconds of your life.

Ayam ya sista!!! The (f) is not a figment of my imagination...

tuale4u:
hahaha. The guy is deluded. Nigerians are more politically aware today. Most people are aware we cant continue to subsidies consumption in a country lacking road, power and good health facilities.

No mind the jegudu jeras! Qatar,UAE,Kuwait with a fraction of our population are not smiling as it is now, don't even get me started on Venezuela, Na blood those ones dey cry!!!

What we need NLC to do is to fight to;

1. Ensure min wage can get the basics: 30-35k.

2. Follow the 350bn capital spending bumper to bumper so we don't end up subsidising corruption in another guise.

3. Fight RMAFC & Wages commission to a standstill so there is income parity among govt establishments.

4. Enforce due process in recruitment; so young graduates without connection won't all be relegated to recharge card sales or fish pond or poultry farming because the elites have taken all the posts with "juice" & left ONLY the chaffs..


I doubt they can get just one of these done though, they are but toothless canines!!

They played dead when job seekers got death in exchange for their 1k, Abba "mass murderer" Moro is still walking free.

Subsidy probe of 2012 eventually turned into a farce!

NASS is living large, their budget (which takes 25% of recurrent expenditure??) is shrouded in secrecy, that one is one battle we ALL need to fight.

otokx:
When I heard the NLC man saying shut down market I laughed, its like he wants to get the beating of his life.

This is no laughing matter but a the mental image of maximum shishi I witnessed in my school days just made me LOL real good!

Why do you think so?

I lost a friend too same date, mum & daughter. Ada, why?

small world!! Nerf's person is the same Ada, E-Hug... God will console all her F& F..

great664:
The last election shows how deep it has eaten deep to us...many supported Buhari not because he is better to GEJ but because he is a northerner and a Muslim...


So also many supported GEJ not because he is better but because he is from south and a Christian..

Jut like the guy above iquote who mock Igbo's because he is Yoruba but forget that the parents buy goods on credit from the Igbo's to feed him.

I ordinarily wouldn't have dignified this with a response but cos you waxed so much lyrical about tolerance, mutual respect and claim people are being needlessly & myopic ethnic jingoists.

You also have a brilliant bible verse as your siggy so there is still hope for redemption:

I'm going to leave you with 3 takeaways cos I'm not going to respond anymore.

1. 1st corinthians 8:2... Live by it...

2. That correlation between pots and kettles!

3. People receive in equal measure or double what they dish out!!!

great664:
Even if they are part or not part of 5% doesn't mean you should twist stuff to mock them? In a sane society Buhari mentioned of 5% would have sack him..imagine referring to Texas or Minnesota as 5% of US because you are from NYC, LA or Washington?

The problem of Nigerians lies in ethnicity and this will continue for the next 100 yes except there is reorientation.

I agree 100% with the highlighted, but not with the Texas L.A reference, we should stop comparing apples and oranges..... America is a melting pot, "State Of Origin" is mute there, Everyone belongs anywhere they find themselves,... Nobody will tell you , you can't get govt assisted Medicare in Georgia because you are from Michigan.

Republicans that don't like Obama do not for other reasons and not because he is from Southside Chicago.

Trump is ridiculed for his showmanship & crassness but you won't hear any generalisation of his actions as being typical of Uncouth New Yorkers....

Like it's our habit here....


In as much as i don't agree with the 5% outburst, &wish he didn't contemplate or even utter such, i do however understand the human angle & deep emotions that spurred such...

Unless we will all bury our heads in the sand, that he is President today is God's doing, there was nothing that wasn't thrown and still being thrown at him, his culture, ethnicity, upbringing, educational background, relationships.. name it, he was raked over hot coals..

However, he needs to be for EVERYBODY... what's done is done, no one can move far ahead, while still trying to look back....

OP,

I can't & won't bother to type this all over again, so I "borrowed" it from where I responded to your compadre who like you is in a perpetual victim mode ... enjoy!! Thank me larra!!

modath:
Why are you people like this for heaven's sake? If you are not good at analysing & maths, you should have asked for help...

You arrived at your faulty deduction by not taking into account all that the 350b was meant for.

Remove that which has been earmarked for

Healthcare (HIV drugs, Vaccine for babies, contraceptives for low income women)

Agric Resources,

Power installation / rehabilitation

Aviation (I'm sure if you weren't in the usual victim mentality and quick to condemn mode , you'd have seen Construction of Terminal Building For Enugu Airport)) &

Housing .....

Calculate all that is for road & bridges construction in it's totality (All Geo Zones) and divide by the 6 Geo Zones before displaying the usual crap!!! Everybody hates you, everybody hates you, don't you think it's time to check how you project yourself to the world first!!

& you aren't fooling no one but yourself with the "Uduak"!

The ones that have been returned from Abacha loot. What impact has it made on us?

No 24 hours power supply and we say we are giant of Africa.

See PHCN bringing 4k bills for a month that doesn't see up to 1 week equivalent of light.

I hope you are not wailing and just expressing pent up emotions....

jmichlins:
mate the masses are made to pay for the irresponsible attitudes of the government. The glutton attitude of the government are what we are forced to pay for. Senators will still buy cars and will still collect clothing allowance. Cut down on recurrent expenses of the government then we can fix our refinaries and build new ones and no one will talk about subsidies.

No two ways about it... Ministers looking for 20m houses are free to resign, unnecessary convoy for airport shuttle should be a thing of the past, Bubu has no reason to hold on to those jets, if he isn't getting fair market value, he should lobby some rich Nigerians to lease them...

The belt tightening should be across board not only the poor masses that didn't benefit beyond the ordinary when the 100$+ P.B Crude price bazaar was going on..

P.S... As for NASS cutting down, forget it, it's never going to happen...

If NLC were really serious, they would pressure NASS to open the Budget to public scrutiny, Even Ben Bruce that blew hot air about making public their earnings has developed amnesia about that promise!

omenka:
That has also been my question.

I still don't get our way of thinking in this clime, A govt came in just as the oil bubble burst and seems people can't link low crude price to the "hardship" being currently experienced!!!

As it is, there is only so much the government can do, only concerted efforts and belt tightening can weather this treacherous storm...

However need Bubu & other government officials need to make some adjustments too, Nigerians shouldn't be only people to suffer!!!

NLC is just playing to the gallery, they know what's up, they know what they will get is somewhere around 110-120, then minimum wage will go to 30-35.... Adams Oshio knows where the pendulum will swing hence his preemption!

As it is, without a stop to using scarce forex for PMS imports, fuel availability will still be a problem, money for projects won't be available, allocation to states won't improve, salary payment would still continue to be a problem for state governments......

I still can't believe OBJ & Jona gave out 20 licences for new refineries and one didn't even come on board in 16yrs!! They were all busy importing PMS and collecting subsidy!! Na to wait till 2018 for Dangote to finish hin own!!

A taya for dis country aswerigod!!

ijustdey:
this strike can't be successful like that of 2012.....


this is just the bitter truth.....

Pengassan and Nupeng already killed the spirit, If Petrol station don't close shop, Transporters will be on the road, Biz folks won't stay at home, gradually people will trickle into the streets, there goes nothing for nothing....

NLC isn't the same NLC of old, the new breed are just jokers!!!

jlinkd78:
As usual poor analysis from u. The infamous 5% means d SE and from d above only a paltry 5% of d budget goes there. 5.5b for Enugu/Onitsha and 13b for River Niger gives u total 18.5b. (18.5b/350b)×100=5.2%. U can now hide Ur face in shame. Proudly 5%.Truth is nobody down here is bothered with what ever thing u guys want to do with Naija again as we are all in this chain together.

kayfra:
They need to revert the 10% host communities allowance back into the bill. Similar structure exists in Alaska and many developed countries.

Give back to the communities and let the country know peace and prosperity.

This is sound but..

1.How would the funds be administered?

2. Any distinction between that and 13%?

3. What about the constitutional ammendment that it would require

4. In a place where there is multi ethnicity, how would the inevitable land grabbing/communal clashes be solved (offshore)

I personally would love this, Gold and other minerals abound in SW......

My Father is Ibadan, My Mother is Ogbomoso, so I am a fully Oyo. This woman is a fututre governor in Oyo state. That road was awarded some 30 years ago, it was abandoned and re-awarded in 1999 during Obj tenure. After Obj tenure it was abandoned by subsequent government. They only completed Ibadan-Oyo and Ogbomoso-Ilorin expressway, abandoning Oyo-Ogbomoso part. After completion, travelling from Ibadan to Ilorin will be like 45 minutes. If she can do it, APC is sure to win Oyo and Ogbomoso area. With Ibadan inclusive 2019 election is a foregone issue for APC

Thought an appeal court ruled that the PDP south west zonal congress should not hold today. Why is it that Fayose and PDP members don't like to obey court orders?

You know Fayose marches to the beat of his own drum being beaten for him by the drummers of eleti didi .... They don't know when to take control.....

He has a plan of installing his own people in SW PDP so Ali Shekau's votes go complete for now &the 2019 plans won't be derailed..., this is part of the game plan....

Fayose is bigger than PDP, He isn't above Nigerian law but that thing called immunity has taken over his cerebrum..

They cursed me no end when I bared my mind on the issue, now one of theirs has come out to validate my position.

In America when elected officials lobby for and scored FG projects on behalf of their constituents, they call it bringing home the Bacon.

It's just a shame how some people cry and complain about neglect or shout Merginilization when in fact it's the lazy and incompetent people they put in office to represent and look out for them not doing their job.

Some know where they are destined, they have bigger dreams.... some don't mind spending 50yrs in the house receiving fat allowances and peeing all over their people.!!!

David Mark is as old as the senate doubt if he has any major project to his name.

Will mo agree?

Mo knows it's with Pain and agony of labour that beautiful and blessed children spring forth!!!

The streets are mean and almost sickly lean, and this period isn't the best of time but when 30% of earnings is going into something that ONLY a few are cornering for their unborn generations, when will the right time be?.....

People have been going back to forth but someone should draw a scale of preference so we can know what we can let go (Salaries,Infrastructures, raw materials for industries, road rehab,refineries rehab, healthcare etc) if we are going to focus mainly on PMS import with scarce forex earnings.... serious, not kidding.

I was able to leverage on the relationships I had built with the Minister of Finance and the Minister for Power, Works and Housing while I was Speaker of Oyo State. Without these relationships, I wouldn’t have been able to get the job done.

I used the same strategic approach as I did during the Owode-Sawmill road in Oyo towns, which I got fixed when I was Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly.

Everywhere in life, positive inter personal relationship defines the level of progress anyone can make... building bridges is key!!! This is someone who knows exactly why she was sent to represent her people and knew not to be caught napping!!

Doubt if her constituency won't work earnestly to not only return her, they won't "allow" her house to catch Faya, not like Kabiru Gaya!! JK!
