Very soon the whole Katsina (and I pray the whole North)would join him and we would have a better Nigeria!

HABA!!!

time is clicking fast, the drama will soon end,

asha 80:
According to the group, which was led by a former aide to President Olusegun Obasanjo, Kolade Victor Akinjo,  at a rally in support of Yar’Adua in Abuja, yesterday,  most of those calling for the exit of Yar’Adua from office are not being fair to the country, and urged the likes of  former President Olusegun Obasanjo to allow their utterances to be governed by the provision of the nation’s constitution and not their emotions.

Kolade Victor Akinjo a. k.a. Vakama was a former President of Student union in Obafemi Awolowo University. He served as one of Obasanjo's aides throughout his eight year tenure. Now he is singing another song for the new president. It seems you can never do anything in life away from Aso Rock. Your Day of doom is coming.

I love this Woman for this bold front. Pls Dora, press on and dont resign your position.
Stay and fight on,
ALUTA Continua ,  Victoria Acerta.

dat sahara reporter guy go either get person for white house sorry Aso rock or make him dey hack into systems database to spool vital infos

Anyhow, anytime any day, I hail SReporters. They are so smart.

The Federal executive council has been directed by Justice Dan Abutu of the Federal High Court to produce eivdence that Yar'adua can continue to discharge his functions as president in the next 14 days or risk a definitive order of the court ordering the swearing-in of the vice. Justice Abutu gave the ruling today in the lawsuit filed by a member of the opposition, Farouk Aliyu asking to declare the sickly 'president' incapacitated and therefore swear in his deputy, Goodluck Jonathan. The suit was filed by civil rights atttorney, Bamidele Aturu.

This is commendable i think!

Another one is here!!!!

Bad

We shall see

Aluta Continua.,.,., Victoria Acerta,

This is serious

Useless upgraded Al manjiri cabal on rampage.
They will surely fail.

Yougo believe? No I no go believe this story
Virgin ko, Married ni.

Next News: Obasanjo makes phone Call
UMORU UMORU.,.,.,,.,Are you Alive??

@ POSTER, YOU TRY.
None of them may return 'cos of shame.

I tire ooo

That he's busy there in saudi sipping Fura 'de Nunu with some Kuli kuli.

That Ibori can act in the Bedroom on behalf of Yaradua.

Never!!! Us will not even think about it.
The lobby Group employed by OBJ then i.e Goodworks International and other groups like the ambassadors and president of other countries would have swung into action. Unlike now when Nigeria does not have even an ambassador in US to liase btw the two countries, the president himself is always afraid of public function even if he is not sick. Obasanjo does not joke with the international community affairs.

Suppose he had handed over to an agile successor, he would have enjoyed a lot of praises from people. handing over to a sickly goat like this Yaradua eroded all the praises and his(OBJ) good works.

It's a pity
We help them to put us on that list.
How can we even convince them that we are not due for the list with all the experience of Kano, Kaduna, Bauchi & Jos Killings, Boko Haram evidently backed by some people in government. Is it our manner of conducting election or the choice of Square ministers to govern a Round ministry? or intentional acquitting and discharging of people with evidently high corruption profile? What are we proud of? We need to correct ourselves.
Our leaders that can speak for us are bunch of rogues who will never want  to do anything right because of selfish interests.

It is their assessment about us that made them to put us there. Every School has its own CUT OFF marks.

Happy Nu Year!!!!
I will accomplish my aims for this year in Jesus Name. Amen.

this is naija,land of possibility.

Bomber Defiant: ‘Though I Failed, Others Will Succeed Next Time’

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the 23-year old Nigerian, who attempted to blow up a U.S. airliner with 289 people on board, has reportedly told American investigators that though he failed, other terrorists will succeed next time.

The son of the former Chairman of First Bank of Nigeria is reported to have told the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation that others with similar training he received are ready to launch their own attacks on America, according to the U.S. network, ABC.

“I am one from a production line of terrorists that has been trained in Yemen by al-Qaeda,” he was quoted to have said, according to ABC.

“There are more just like me who will strike soon,” Mutallab said, according to The British tabloid, The Daily Telegraph.


Meanwhile, contrary to repeated claims by the Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Dr. Harold Demuren, that the explosive devices found with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, did not pass through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos, the would-be terrorist has stated that he, indeed, passed through the Lagos airport, twice, with the deadly devices undetected.
According to a CNN report, Mutallab was said to have told an American investigator that he got the devices in Yemen and brought them to Lagos. He then transported them from Lagos to Amsterdam and from Amsterdam to Detroit undetected.

Demuren, on Sunday, exonerated Nigeria and blamed the authorities at Schiphol international airport in Amsterdam for security breaches that allowed Mutallab to board a U.S. plane with explosive devices.

NASS supremacy battle: The inside story

The face-off between the Senate and the House of Representatives over the venue for the presentation of the 2010 budget estimates was only a sore that festered, Daily Sun learnt yesterday.
Indeed, the relationship between both chambers of the National Assembly had hardly been healthy since the emergence of Dimeji Bankole as Speaker in November 2007.

Although members and leaders of both chambers have managed to present a façade of healthy relationship to the public, every major event requiring joint sitting has brought to the fore this simmering rift of confidence.

Since the beginning of the present democratic dispensation in 1999, and even before that, all joint sittings have always been done in the green chambers of the House of Representatives. The House, which is designed to take more than it’s 360 members is more expansive, and no eyebrows have been raised by successive Senate Presidents.

The breakdown of the understanding began to manifest in the dying days of the erstwhile Speaker Mercy Etteh. Dimeji Bankole was alleged to have campaigned for her seat, promising parity of senators and Representatives in all scheme of things.
According to a dependable source close to the House, “that was the catch. Most members of the House fell for it. You know most of us here are young and highly impressionistic. The House had over the years carved a niche as more vibrant and enterprising and it brought with it the itch not to be subjugated to the senate, whose members are relatively conservative.”
Dimeji scored a bulls eye but the promise has since transformed to a burden.

The most glaring opportunity for the expression of the parity strain came during the retreat in Minna, Niger State by the joint committee of the National Assembly on the review of the 1999 constitution. The retreat, which broke up because of the insistence of the House members to make the Deputy Speaker. Usman Nafada co-chairman contrary to established procedures was a fall out of the plot and had the full backing of the leadership and entire members.

Inspite of interventions by the leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the presidency the things that held both chambers together could not hold again as both charted separate paths.
But the lesson was not lost on the more experienced and older senators. They licked their wounds and bided their time.

2009 budget
The grudge by the senate against the House over the passage of the 2009 budget is also at the heart of the present face-off. Daily Sun learnt that an agreement reached by both chambers on the budget, was reneged by the House. Specifically both chambers agreed on the timely passage of the 2009 budget on or before January 1, 2009. While the Senate, according to the source kept its side of the bargain, the House jerked it up by 50%, forcing the senate to toe the same line, thus delaying the passage.
Regrettably, the implementation of the budget, described by some commentators as “bogus and unrealistic” is adjudged as the worst ever since 1999.

“We knew it was not going to work. The House simply played to the gallery. Some of these things require experience, but our younger brothers will not listen,” a senator, from the South-South geo political zone lamented to Daily Sun.

Mark and Bankole
The president of the Senate David Mark and the Speaker Dimeji Bankole have however stayed above the fray, maintaining and presenting a cordial relationship.
Infact, contrary to beliefs in some quarters, Bankole had at least on two occasions recently stopped over at the senate president’s office to exchange banters. These visits as well as the public posturing of both men on issues affecting them have helped in dispelling public insinuations of a frosty relationship between them.
But the rug was taken off the feet of Bankole, when Mark, utilizing his constitutional position as the chairman of the National Assembly changed the venue for the joint sitting of both chambers for the consideration of the 2010 budget estimates, without consulting Bankole.

This departure, it was learnt is just the beginning, of a battle, which began in Minna.
The Senate is determined, according to Daily Sun findings to re-establish itself as the natural “Upper chamber of the National Assembly.” In pursuit of this, it would deploy its constitutional advantages to great effect, as well as utilize every single opportunity to drive it home.
Although the PDP leadership had intervened, as at press time, there may likely not be a let-up.
Separate presentations of the budget estimates by the president may likely be the fall back position that would herald a break in tradition since the pre-independence days.

These lawmakers are not occupied with something better at all.

SEFAGO:
kai, we are now taking lessons from Ghana

We never start,,

Escaped to the Creeks, Beaf, Beaf, Beaf, Come out now and
face Becomrich b4 the count of,

The proposed visit to the former National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), South West, Chief Ibiyinka Olabode George, in Kirikiri Prison, Lagos has polarised the party hierarchy into two distinct factions.

Daily Sun investigations revealed that, while the Wadata Plaza, Abuja seat of the party is in total support of the visit, originally planned for today, the South West zone of the party, which is the immediate constituency of the recently convicted party big wig, is said to be highly apprehensive about the planned visit.

The reason, allegedly being adduced by the zone under the leadership of the party’s National Vice Chairman, Alhaji Tajudeen Oladipo, is that such a visit will put a big question mark on the sincerity of the Yar’Adua’s administration’s touted war against corruption in the country.
A party insider, who spoke with our correspondent on condition of anonymity even went a step further to say that, “our zone would have loved to see one or two more heavyweights thrown to jail over corruption.”

He however made it abundantly clear that, “though that does not mean that we should throw Bode George out like that or deny and reject him, we prefer behind the scene interactions with him to an open one that would portray our party as an haven of criminal minded people.”
He said that much as Bode George remained a part of PDP, it would be more advisable to wait for the outcome of his appeal before openly throwing the party machinery into the matter.

But a section of the top hierarchy of the party is said to be of the strong conviction that, leaving one of their own to his fate would not speak well of the party vis a vis its much touted “members of the same family” thing that the party has been mouthing all about.
The section, which Daily Sun learnt might have the support and blessing of the National Secretary of the party, Alhaji Abubakar Baraje, prefers open interaction with Chief Bode George to secret dealing with him. It said it would amount to national deceit if the party would interact with George in secret while denying him in public.

That faction views secret dealing with him as betrayal of trust going by what they perceived as Chief George immense contribution to the party, most especially in the South Western zone of the country.
A stalwart of the PDP from the South East geo-political zone, who pleaded anonymity threw his support behind the South West thinking that, to identify openly with their convicted member would amount to endorsement of the crime allegedly committed by the convict.
To him, the anti corruption war should be allowed to consume one or more top notchers across board in the country to give the PDP Federal Government the much needed credibility.

“It would amount to double standard for the same members of the party that forms the government, to turn round to embark on a solidarity visit to some one who is said to have run foul of the law made by the same government,” the PDP stalwart reasoned.
Members on the two divides, according to Daily Sun findings, are said to have held tightly to their positions so much that, today’s controversial visit to the Kirikiri new abode of Bode George has the potential of causing an intractable crisis that may affect the PDP adversely in 2011.

Was Pa Soludo ever kidnapped?, was any report made at the the police station to the effect that the man was missing?, no it was not!, did any body go inside the Soludo house to confirm that the man was indeed not in his bedroom?, no they did not?, did Soludo show any concern about his missing father or say anything about the incident other than that this will not deter him?(rather odd reaction when your father is supposedly in danger). And then the police announce that they will be turning the torch light on the Soludo family to determine the whereabouts of the allegedly missing man. Two days later, lo and behold the missing man appears, unharmed and unscathed with vague rumours of an undisclosed ransome paid!, and now Soludo sends a text message telling Nigerians how undeterred he is and what he will do as governor. No mention of the state of health of the poor old man and no mention of how and when the man emerged, was he really kidnapped?

Nezan:
This is good, but Government should be making plans for the graduates too.

THAT WILL START TOMORROW
