The onslaught to turn this generation into sex rampaging zombies is real and strong.

Save yourself, avoid illicit sex by all means.

ITS OBVIOUS THAT BOLA TINUBU HAS TEAMED UP WITH AMBODE TO RUBBISH TO REMARKABLE AND UNPARALLELED FEAT OF THE PEOPLE'S GOVERNOR...FASHOLA KNOWN TO BE A DISCIPLINE AND THOROUGH PROFESSIONAL REFUSED TO BOW TO THE DICTATES OF BAT WHILE IN OFFICE AT THE DETRIMENT OF LAGOSIANS. FASHOLA SACKED AMBODE AS ACCOUNTANT GENERAL, RELEGATED THE ROLE OF ALPHA BETA CONSULTING IN LAGOS STATE TAX ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION, STOPPED ALLOCATION OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS TO HITEK CONSTRUCTION LTD.

A VERY BRILLIANT JOURNALIST FRIEND OF MINE SHARED WITH ME SOME OF THESE DIRTY THINGS AND MANY MORE PLANNED BY LAGOS APC BIG WIGS TO RUBBISH AND DISGRACE BRF FOR PUTTING INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE ABOVE GOD FATHER'S INTEREST WHILST IN OFFICE.

THEREFORE, I AM NOT SURPRISE THIS IS COMING OUT. BUT LET ME WARN THAT AS A STAUNCH APC SUPPORTER AND BELIEVER IN BRF IF THIS CONTINUES APC WILL BREAK AND GO INTO OBLIVION IN LAGOS STATE.

BE WARNED!!!

Oh shot up! Because it's fashola, we shouldn't shame corruption? We've always known that high level corruption was going on in APC led government here, we've cried out on many occasions but no one wants to hear.

Fashola is too insignificant to break apc in Lagos. However, I feel they've over stayed. If not for politics of tribalism, APC shouldn't be in charge of Lagos.

I'm not surprised how some criminals here are defending corruption in Fashola's government.

As the administration of General Mohammed Buhari suddenly draws close to the end of its honeymoon (first 100 days in office), it is becoming clearer that Nigeria is threading a new part of nationhood. Technically, the new pattern of governance is not entirely new, but the creepy circumstances are quietly creeping into the National subconscious culture. It is gradually gaining acceptance amongst those who are caught up in the band wagon of collective amnesia. It is definitely not a constitutional democracy; not a diarchy; not the usual military rule by Decrees, and but by all ramifications, a convincing government of “Body Language”.

In the run up to the 2015 Presidential elections, Buhari had told Nigerians that he was now a refurbished civilian – a converted democrat who believed in multiparty democracy. Nigerians believed. Powered by the demonization of the Jonathan Administration, the change Campaigners flooded the Nigeria with the message of change. The word “Jonathanian” was introduced into the National lexicon by Mallam Nasir El-Rufai (now the Kaduna State governor). “Clueless” became the most shared term both in the print and social media.

Since the inauguration of the Buhari Presidency on May 29, however, Nigeria’s constitution has been violated more than observed. The first Salvo from Buhari was to disappoint his entire party on the formation of a cabinet as required by this constitution. The framers of our constitution had envisaged a cabinet to help in the daily running of government to realise the hopes and aspiration of its people. It has now gone down in history that Buhari has been the only President since independence to govern without a cabinet for almost months, under a constitutional democracy.
Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media through a press statement had informed Nigerians that President Buhari will appoint a Cabinet in the fullness of time. Soon after, President Buhari informed the world that amongst all the nominees for ministerial positions, who are predominantly his party members – the All Progressive Congress (APC), he has not found one individual worthy to serve as a minister. The puzzling questions are: did the APC as a political party decided not to form a cabinet four months in government? Would Asiwaju Tinubu have supported and sponsored Buhari if he knew he wasn’t going to form a government until September? Is this cabinet impasse a party decision or the body language of a maximum ruler?

Section 147 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended provides that “There shall be such offices of Ministers of the Government of the Federation as may be established by the President”. But the Buhari supporters would always be quick to misinterpret this statutory passage, with a pointless argument that cabinet appointment is discretionary. The provision of the constitution actually permits the President to decide the number of aides he would work with, and Buhari had reportedly reduced the current ministerial positions. But the appointment of ministers in a timely manner remains obligatory. For example, the word “shall” as used by the law gives no room for any discretion. But in complete revolt of the oath of the office he took, President Buhari has remained in utter violation.

With the dwindling oil prices and the reckless spending by State governments during the last general elections, President Buhari was confronted with months of unpaid workers’ across various states of country. Without the benefit of financial advice especially from a Finance Minister, President Buhari had embarked on a bailout mission for the States against the spirit and letters of the Constitution. It must be stated here that workers deserve their wages. The longsuffering Nigerian workers deserve to get more than their current take home pay. However the process of financial bailout for States is clearly spelt out in Section 164(1) of the 1999 constitution that, “Federation may make grants to a State to supplement the revenue of that state in such sum and subject to such terms and condition as may be prescribed by the National Assembly”.
Firstly, the “Federation” the law considers here does not apply to the President. Secondly, any grant or bail out by the federation must be appropriated by the National Assembly. But in protest to his sworn oath of office, President Buhari unilaterally approved and appropriated funds while the National Assembly was on recess. And since resumption of plenary by the National Assembly, no letter, motion or request has been brought before the National Assembly for ratification. Are we still running a democracy?

In pursuit of his disdain and relegation of the constitution which he swore to protect, Buhari had abandoned Section 150 which provides that “There shall be an Attorney –General of the Federation who shall be the Chief Law Officer of the Federation and a Minister of the Government of the Federation.” Mr President further went ahead and appointed an unconstitutional Advisory Committee on Corruption which has no backing of law and which as a result would render all its actions, advice, and recommendations detrimentally unconstitutional.

All these aberrations and rape on our constitutional democracy have been termed the “body language” of Mr President. The Body Language of Buhari is gradually becoming the acceptable grundnorm of the Nigerian Nation. Consequently, the current body language is synonymous with the usual military disdain for constitutionality – which is Buhari’s major command trait.

Almost 100 days into the life of a new government, the body language of Mr President has not given a clear road map and a policy direction in the various sectors of the economy. With the continuous fall in price oil price, the body language of Mr President has not articulated a clear position on how to annex the inherent mineral resources that abound all over the country. All we hear are praise songs from very scary quarters urging Buhari to carry on with his body language.

Gradually, as Nigerians, we are beginning to forget that we operate a constitutional democracy. While we await signals coming from the body language of President Buhari in every area of our national life, we hope that that the body language will not translate into the kind of cult followership obtainable in rogue nations like Iran and North Korea where every utterance from the maximum ruler is law.

Well written. This Man just put what I have in mind to writing.

Lalasticlala

what do you think.

tried to listen on free to Air TV decoder but didn't receive anything.

Bullsshit. All of it. Absolutely all

So unintelligent response. We are not going to kill buhari if he makes aisha first lady.

He should also give us evidence of how a first lady issued oil licenses. All these wild allegations is just too shallow. If a first lady has the ears of her husband does it mean she has the power to issue oil license?

As if garba himself is not a thief.

Inconsequential nonsense. This wouldn't increase the credibility of Sahara reporters

They should tell us about buhari's certificate rather than this non issue.

He should learn fast, so that when we remove buhari he'll know what to do.

Tripleclick:
if you are looking ahead like me,, you will see buhari is struggle to rule with democracy ,,, Nigeria shud hv to keep him on d edge,, or else,, If he loses his guts,, am afraid.... We shud be prepared

You get the point. Very soon, in order to show us he's a strong man, he may do something really silly.

The more reason he was removed by a coup the other time.
He can still be removed now, if he's not careful.

This is simply high handedness, fueled by moronic praise singing.

The earlier the legislative house get their act together and make this buhari led executive walk on eggshells, the better for them.

If they don't, they'll die, and trust APC media team to blame all failure of the government on the legislative house.

Saraki and dogara should wake up now before the executive render you guys as inconsequential.

Does this change the fact that fashola is one of the corrupt politician we have in Nigeria? No!

I'm not one of those who is programmed to see all good when it comes to fashola. I knew a long time ago that he was using his intelligence to perpetrate corruption and cover his tracks.

Is this thread one of those lame threads aimed at attacking ambode because of fashola?

Nonsense.

We all know that 78 million naira website scam is the least of the corruption perpetrated by Fashola's government. The reason why it's hard to fight is because Tinubu is involved.

All I see here is corruption. No more no less.

I used to agree with this Dickson's opinion.
But now I no longer agree with such.
Besides, buhari himself agreed he was baba go slow.

Who are they deceiving. They can still end the bokoharam drama without these theatrics.

Bokoharam is their thing. They'll end it eventually.

Why the protests na?

But there's now light 24/7. At least the buharist told us so.

Well...if the protest is no violent, count me out. No time for protest that a strong point will not be made.

He's doing better than his supporter of APC counterparts.

I wrote J-weedz it changed to apc supporters. Abeg I meant jaaaaanjaweeeds

She's beautiful no doubt.
She got her pains too. The rich also cry.

It's so unfortunate that this government and their supporters can't handle an opposing view. No body can advise them. They are all about corruption. They see corruption in everyone except themselves.

They'll defend Fashola's 75million naira scam, they'll defend amaechi, Aregbesola, tinubu etc. They attack anyone who goes against them.

They chant corruption to cover their ineptitude and weakness.

So shameful.

If I may ask, How has Buhari fought corruption since the became president.

The same people attacking Fayose are the same people defending Aregbesola.
Clowns.

Was reading, got to a point, I just swerved.
Abeg no time

I don't agree with 2 & 4

For 2, nothing wrong in stating how you are best suited for the job. The idea is to sell yourself not the other person.

For 4, it's not safe comparing you present salary to what you'd like to earn. It's a manipulation. My guy is with one Indian company earning / angrily managing 50k. His friend is on 130k with their competitor they both do the same kind of job. If you go by this logic my guy may not get up to 100k after an interview because he is presently under paid. While his other colleague have the chance of going beyond 200k.

It's not easy, I must say.

This is getting out of hand.

Before then buhari will call him boys to order and end the drama.
What are they ending. Bokoharam already said they want to end the drama.

Ghandi12:
Most investors...it shows law, order, probity and definitely economic stability in the long run.

Name any investors that came into the country because the government is all about jails and prob. Investors are always sceptical about such business environment.

You wouldn't even like to work in an organization where you hear Probs, sanctions, jails, sack etc more than what they do and archive.

Hope it's clear to you now. No sentiments please.

Which investor comes to a country who's government is all about prob and jail.

aresa:
I won't subscribe to broad statements and gross generalization. It's like you are saying all Nigerians are corrupt and into 419.

There honest politicians in Nigeria, but the bad ones are making it difficult for the good ones to shine through...

I will not generalize. Fashola himself is corrupt. He knows it.

How come no one is attributing it to an incompetent president. Previous crashes where usually blamed on the president and the minister.

What changed.

Who are they fooling...

They are all part of the power struggle using bokoharam.. All these are ways to end the drama.

I repeat God will judge this bokoharam issue, his own way.

So what should we now do. Do they still farm in that state? Bokoharam governor.

Nonsense. The guy has said his own and moved on. Tonto have replied and moved on. Mofos can keep raising dust for nothing.

Does this affect Gideon in any Way? No!

Now that this is on the homepage, what should we do. Take up Tonto's fight?

This thread is unnecessary.
