PDP should go to court... APC ought not to have a candidate based on technicalities and different factions, oshiomole's led NWC conducted the primaries which was declared null and void by the immediate past acting Chairman Victor Giadiom...The NEC only came out to ratify it, but the damage has been done already.... According to the party constitution, an acting caretaker committee chairman can not submit candidates names to INEC...Ize iyamu is not a registered party member of the APC, his ward chairman can attest to that fact

Thos would be really interesting to watch if the courts get involved. I would love to see n read the outcome and it'll definitely set some precedents for our jurisprudence.

APC drama series! Very funny!

Of all people to ask for it's Onnoghen? A judicial officer? When did they start playing political roles like members of the Executive and Legislature? Did he come to canvass votes or support any political party? Na wa o! This one too is a thread!

SenorFax:
Do you know some side chicks actually toast married men themselves these days??..

I've witnessed this in bars and hangouts, those ladies no get life. Once you are spotted and they know you are married, forget, they will throw themselves at you.

They don't care if you are married or not, they only want your money

It is the responsibility of such married man to resist, turn down such toasting and say no! Did anyone hold a gun to his head? The same way ladies are expected to say no to overtures from married men, if the tables have now turned, those men should say no and not indulge! They are the ones that took marital vows before God, their wives and witnesses!

All northern muslims are biko haram too. That is why even if they don't actively carry weapons, they tacitly support them. At least IPOB is peaceful and hasn't taken any lives, same cannot be said for BH and their apologists who are known and designated local and international terrorists!

JAMO84:
Igbo was Chief of army staff for six years, remember Azubuike Ihejirika? He and Dr Clueless were Boko haram's baby sitters.

You don't have to lie! First Jonathan was president for 5years so he could not have appointed a COAS for 6 years.
Secondly, Ihejirika was COAS from September 2010 to January 2014, less than 4years. Jonathan came into office in May 2010, from then till Ihejirika's appointment, Dambazau a Northerner, was COAS. Was he also babysitting boko haram?

Bandits ko! Boko haram ni! Those that dug a pit for others will fall into same with their families and generations!

blackfish:
You are the mad idiot here as you can't engage in a discussion void of insults.

You know yourself. Address issues, no! It is mad idiots that was not directed specifically to you that you are tearing your pants over. Continue!

Those of you that stay stuck on procedure rather than actual content and cause, how is it doing you? The injustice and evil in the land called Nigeria is clear to you. Fight and address it you will not but you will release all your dirty fangs and venom against one who has decided to take on the fight the way he knows how!

In the process, you rather romance the oppressors who perpetuate the clear injustice and then gang up against the one who has spoken out! I ask again, how is it doing you? Why not pick up your own end of the fight and pursue it in the decent and constructive way you think you can so that the other with the bad method can watch and learn as you start achieving great results?

Mad idiots!

senatordave1:
So she will preside till 2027? Too long.I thought appeal court judges must retire at 65

The president/justices of the court of Appeal retire at 70.

ddippset:
If Magu was a Christian from the south these useless hypocrites would still say that Buhari has planned with the Senate to refuse to confirm him because he is not a Muslim.

If he was a Christian Buhari would never have nominated him in the first place.

seunmsg:
The conspiracy theorists can now bury their heads in shame.

Hey shut it please! Was it not just yesterday Shehu Garbage claimed that security screening was still going on? You mean they didn't conclude for over 3 months until now after Nigerians called the so called presidency out? It took even NJC to expose the useless liar because DSS had concluded screening before even recommending her to the President and suddenly today he sends her name to the Senate!

What was he waiting for since? Why wait until people start raising alarm before they do the right thing if there is no ulterior motive?

Presidency ndiara.com!

Ade3131:
The bolded above is exactly what I meant by saying that the fight against corruption is corrupt in itself.

To be candid, you have a very good point and I'm not contesting that. If you go through the country's precedence since OBJ, you'll agree with me that most of our antigraft agancies were set up to fight political opponents and silence any of their critics.

I'm not approving a lopsided fight against corruption but it is what it is here in Nigeria and we can't shy away from the fact that our democracy is still in its primitive years and unfortunately it's going to continue like this for some decades more.

We either learn to appreciate the half bread we have and walk our way to perfection or tow the path of past administrations and watch people loot the treasuries without blinking an eye.

We will not turn a blind eye, rather we will demand that actions be taken without favoritism and the tacky half bread approach. We should be able to learn from more developed democracies that have gone ahead and passed through these routes.

Humans naturally dislike being put down just to favor another without just cause so the resistance and my criminal-your criminal dichotomy will continue.

Imagine yourself in a school, your sister and her mates play n get their uniforms dirty. The teacher then punishes her n some others while leaving her son and his friend whom they all played together with. Will you happily appreciate that at least some action was taken by punishing your sister while ietting her son go free? Or would you not resist such partiality any way you can and even hide your sister if possible?

Hypocrisy and half-measures are never to be appreciated especially in issues like this because they breed resentment and even more resistance. Nepotism and favouritism in fighting crime are crimes in themselves! You cannot claim to be serious about keeping the house clean by chasing Mr A near the gate while the house you purport to keep clean is being steadily messed up by Mr B and kids! If you wanna sweep clean, you start from within and then get out. It must also be wholesome not picking and choosing.

How do you justify all investigation and charges against Danjuma Goje being dropped because he stepped down from contesting Senate presidency? Why won't Diezani be left alone then? Would you still be this appreciative of these hypocritical half measures of she had joined APC and started maligning the previous government she served in? Why did the Army investigation panel suddenly get disbanded without results?

To display favouritism for one over another is already a criminal offence that colours whatever investigation is bring pursued against the less favored and that has to be addressed first in order to get good, meaningful results. Once that is in place which is what APC promised, you will see more cooperation from Nigerians.

Ade3131:
Just when you're trying so hard to hold on to the thinnest thread of hope for this country, you come online and read comments such as the one below! At first, an open minded reader would think he's one of the beneficiaries of the stolen largees.... Bros, Yes all those you listed are registered or known cases but my concern is that why do you think the EFCC should follow a particular order in trying those suspects? If they choose to start with Madam, so be it.

Like I use to tell people. Yes, APC is corrupt. Yes, they're a group of refurbished PDP. Yes, the fight against corruption is corrupt in itself or lopsided. But hey! Let's appreciate there's even a one-sided fight against corruption for now. We used to have a regime where they was no shit done to curb the menace. Maybe when the table turns and power change hands, they'll be another one-sided fight against those who are there today. Then little by little, we will get there. Half bread like they say is better than poff-poff. Or would you rather they allow her go scot-free and consequently encourage the coming generations to loot once they get into public office?

hushpanda:
Bro, siddon. I no even understand your unproven assertions. Madueke has a long standing prosecution charges and the only way you exonerate her is by asking that other people be prosecuted before her. Is that how you would defend her in the UK, US where she is wanted.

Somebody stole billions and is clearly guilty and on the run and your are here saying another person did this and did that. You are in over your head with the nairaland likes.

BYE.

She is innocent until proven guilty. Other than what has been posted on the news in the name of investigations, what proof do you have to categorically declare her guilty?

Was the former NSA not accused of much more? Where is he today? He's out of custody, as good as a free man, not standing any trial! What happened to the Army investigation panel that was summarily disbanded? Where is the outcome? Is it not better and even logical to go for low-hanging fruits while strengthening efforts to get the more elusive ones?

OUK they managed to put in jail has made nonsense of their trial and is out walking free until they scramble again to commence fresh trial! They can't even deal with the ones here at home but once they need small press attention they will call a woman minding her life n business on another country! Is that not what y'all started with Okonjo Iweala yet see her today!

Stop running your mouth without proof.

nnadychuks:
Nawa even the one who covers her body from head to toes is still raped... I think we need to lecture our young boys about the importance of psychological health on our girls rather than teaching a girl how to dress. Because I don’t think Uwa would dress seductive to a church or Barakat would dress seductive in her father’s house. As in is it mental problem for the rapists? Why why why??

The point is whether seductively dressed or even stark naked, no idiot should touch a woman without her consent. So it's not about whether the victims dressed seductively to church or in their father's house. Rather, there were depraved criminal rapists on the loose bent in committing a crime just because they could!

Miracle1991:
Ipob are confused on this one, they dont know either to insult Buhari or to applouse him.

It is not everything you display ignorance and empty tribalism over. Are you not aware that judicial leadership is by seniority? Once she had been recommended by the NJC, Buhari had no option than to appoint her albeit in acting capacity.

Now he's being inexplicably stupid by not simply forwarding her name to the Senate for confirmation and somehow you think IPOB is the issue?

donjazet:
Buhari seems to be a man of integrity, but he continues to surround himself with corrupt individuals.

I had thought that as a military general, he would be strong enough to fight the cabal.
Quite disappointed though.

Will a good, integrity-filled person deliberately surround himself with corrupt, questionable characters the way Buhari has done and still does? When you answer this question in total honesty, you will revise the opinion that he appears to be a man of integrity.

There should be proper oversight and transparent allocation before some demonic bigwigs and community leaders will colonise the estate and parcel off to the highest bidders! Maintenance is also critical before it becomes dilapidated and abandoned!

Good one by the Governor and I hope Bubu n crew will hear that there are other IDPs who have been suffering since in the area long before the self-inflicted madness in the North East that they have been using to fleece this country!

PotatoSalad:
She no suppose quit na.
If someone digs up my old tweets or posts, I'll just comment wow and move on.
Everyday Facebook reminds me of how dumb I was in the past and I always be like "wow"

If she didn't pull out she would have been let go because of the policy of her modelling agency. The public outrage is no good for her image and anyone associated with her would suffer the backlash

femi4:
Even at 14/15 , you should know better. No apologies

The fact that she even had such a nasty, depraved mindset at that age is more alarming! Imagine what the finesse and advantage of maturity and age will do with such!

I tell you!
