The minister also said State House Clinic to which N3.9 billion had been allocated in the budget at the expense of other hospitals put together which got far less allocations, is not under the supervision of the Ministry of Health.

A clandestine move to loot billions by the presidency.

Who disagrees with this.

This is irrelevant.


The main issue is: is it true? Fayose is yet to deny the allegations, so your unfounded conspiracy theory holds no water

Since When did Aluko start speaking the truth?...

Why should I believe he's not lying now. After all he lied in court. Or are they not going to take the case to court? If the guy is not assured of protection, he can't go that route. His outburst has 80% percent chances of ruining him and 20 % chances of going against fayose. except is for a strong twist.

Script ... That's what it is. The people working with aluko already planned the whole thing. Aluko will be protected by those who hired him.

Fayose is the target not Aluko or anyone else.

mrmetoo1:
You call me partisan which I'm not. I have no father, godfather, uncle or immediate relative in APC, no party in Nigeria has any clear ideology so what exactly am I supporting any party based on?? You just proved my point, you guys can never see any good in him because he criticizes PDP members. He criticized the budget but you've decided to see that as a stunt for whatever reason best known to you. You're the partisan one, you don't like him because he doesn't like your PDP. You guys need to start understanding that there are people who genuinely love this country and speak when people do wrong period. A guy once asked here what side Madam Oby was really on because she criticized this administration about something. It's kinda sad that the concept of loving the country above politician and political party is lost on some people.

Here is the problem.

You said all this because I told you my opinion about Omojuwa.. Obviously you are one of those who will pained or at least have some level of discomfort when buhari is being insulted and called names.. Abi?

Will you agree with me if I tell you that they are all objective criticism by patriotic Nigerians?
.. I leave that to you.

Omojuwa is trying to manipulate a few, just to see him as being neutral. It's a lie. I know that guy so well. He wants to objectively criticize a budget and he spent half a page on wailing wailers? abeg forget that side....
I'm not really partisan. But what made me seem so at the moment is because the people who supported the ruling party are still gloating almost 1 year after election. That to me is wrong.

Can Omojuwa and his ilks, critic anything about this administration without dragging the past to it?

Make we leave matter jare

arresa:
1. Omojuwa is a journalist and a blogger who publishes his opinion regardless the opinion, who it favors or doesn't lately, his opinions are against the the APC and the president so there's nothign partisan about his opinions.

2. Ben bruce aka Twitter constituency senator is a public official who should be on the ground helping his people back in Bayelsa, commissioning constituency projects in Bayelsa or at the senate promoting laws and policies to better his people, but instead he's on twitter day and night spewing partisan and meaningless rubbish.

3. The useless twitter clown who not only benefited from a bankrupt system he was part of for 16 years, but also lacked common sense when he was wining and dining with the disgraced, incompetent, looting and stealing PDP for 16 years, now after Nigerians kicked out his disgraced PDP, the twitter clown developed a pathetic, laughable and hypocritical common sense that never existed before.... This is partisan.

1, Omojuwa is a sycophants. He knows it. I know him too well. I don't need to convince you on this my opinion.

2, I have monitored Mr Bruce and he is not failing in any of his constitutional responsibility as a senator.

3, that's entirely your opinion. I don't share the same opinion with you on this. Definitely Omojuwa will.

mrmetoo1:
False!! He wrote a whole article calling the budget a disgrace. A very partisan person would have thrown his integrity in the trash to defend his party. Just yesterday he disagreed with the president and what he said about Nigerians' bad reputation abroad. He's actually quite objective, it's actually partisan PDP guys that will never see any good from him because in most cases he disagrees with their leaders

I know omojuwa too well, not to fall for any stunt he pulls. You fall into the category of people who support omojuwa for partisan reason.

Omojuwa spoke on foreign TV that his president's frequent visit to Lagos last year was because of the street lights in Lagos....no neutral commentator says such. I can go on and on but no need. I don't want to convince you on my opinion about omojuwa. Let's free the guy. His so called criticism is not in good faith. He doesn't need to prove his neutrality. He is a sycophant.

Let's free the guy.

Buhari and his people who shout "corruption" wailing wailers, are the budget mafias. With buhari himself as the leader of the mafias.

Anyone supporting Omojuwa is doing so for APC reasons. Omojuwa hardly make sense. his positions are too partisan that it's impossible to resonate with a neutral mind.

Now HIS ONLY REASON FOR THIS ATTACK IS JUST BECAUSE Mr Bruce is not in the same boat with Buhari and He's uncomfortable with his honest positions. QED

No neutral will compare what Omojuwa post on twitter with What Mr Bruce post and say Omojuwa is more patriotic.

We are giving omojuwa to much attention.

Hot air.

No body is gonna get fired.

We were told before that the VP was in charge of the budget.... Abeg We know these people will always look for who to blame for their incompetence.

Some of them even blamed Saraki during the budget wahala. Even when we knew Saraki was reaching out to buhari to cover things up and be the good guy.

His sycophants were all over the media both online and on radio here in Lagos calling saraki. See, every funny thing in that budget was from the presidency. Those who know how far know this so well.

Where the various ministers not going to defend the budget of their ministries.

Damage control

joseph1832:
Can I humbly ask you, what business is it of yours if a guy take a girl to a hotel to Bleep her?

And can you tell me, how this lady sleeping with 92 men affect your life?

Then why did you quote me; because what I wrote shouldn't have been your business.

We do not live in isolation. If there's anything like corruption, Illicit sex is one of such. Unless through bewitchment, manipulation and strong satanic influence, everyone created by God knows that it is dirty to be having sex like lower animals. The ploy of the devil is to kill such God consciousness and enthrone himself. That's why you see people not give a damn about it. It's devilish and since anything devilish is wrong, some of us owe the society the obligation to say it as it is. Because we belong to that same society. Therefore it's our business.

If someone walks up to you and stab you with a knife, is it anybody's business? Why should anyone stop him, why should anyone speak against the act. after all it's only your business. But we-can't havea society like that. Same for Illicit sex.

2, Why will a lady lady sleep with 92 men. is she a dog? Anything that want's to reduce you is not good and it's not of God. Sleeping with 92 men reduces a lady to sub-human. If we don't condemn it it will be accepted. and we all will live in such society together and have children to. so indirectly it affects everyone.
Another analogy for you to ponder with your question. Can you tell me how having a society were children kill their parents affect your life? after all, no one wants to kill you.

If you don't control weed, they'll affect harvest.

MizMyColi:

Sis, 
I like you

Humanly speaking, sleeping with 43 men seems a tad irresponsible.

But what some people fail to see in this lady's story is that

1. She was grossly misguided to think that sex would keep the men.

2. At some point, she didn't consider sex as much of a big deal...perhaps, it was all for fun.

3. She truly desires to make a fresh start.

If she didn't, that guilt she felt would not be dear.
She could have gone all the way to tighten her vagina and claim Virgin Oku
But she didn't.

While I understand her frustration that women are lampooned for the same "offence" the men are equally as guilty of, I think that 40 is a tad too much.

That said....

I believe that life throws a lot of chances our way...and that everyday is an opportunity to start fresh.

First she needs to forgive herself and make peace with her past.
Or else, she will be feeling guilt and fear, a‎nd that in itself will keep attracting to her the kind of men who will come into her life, hear her story and jilt her.

I was on this thread when it was on page 2 or so...
The empathy and compassion I felt for whoever it is that this post is meant for drew me back here.

I might not have body counts or immorality as my own mistakes..but I do know what it feels like to take certain actions repeatedly out of ignorance, and selfishness (maybe) and then realize the need to be better....only for the world to throw different kinds of judgements at your face, as if you're condemned to keep erring forever. [I'm referring to my active days in Politics]

If I saw that lady, I would hug her and comfort her.‎
I would tell her to stay strong and change the messages that she feeds her consciousness. If she continues to think that despite her ills, that she is not worth a good man, and that people will still keep judging her, then that's what it will be.

It might take time, but the results will definitely come. She should focus more on what she truly desires for her life and begin to do away with thoughts of what she doesn't desire.‎


When she forgives herself completely, she will see no need to remind herself of any sordid past.

She would have so become a new creation that at that point, she is fully able to say "I never was that type of person"

If her creator has not given up on her, she is not in the best position to do so.‎


Life is a teacher and we are learning everyday.
As humans, if we follow the dictates of our truest nature, we will find it hard to judge her and say all sorts of ills against her. Instead, we will try to find a way to comfort her and let her know that there is hope for her future.

It's the one thing that will never be taken away from us, except we choose to give it away.

Where there is life; there is hope.‎

What the heck is this? Is it that you are ignorant of what is happening in our society? We can keep on with this kind of narrative and promiscuity and illicit sex will be seen as normal. I just stepped out of my office and I could relate with this thread by just seeing what was happening in a nearby hotel.

The battle of remaining a virgin is almost lost, now simple chastity; we want to bring in the subtle "It dosen't matter" kind of angle to it. What you don't condemn soon, you'll celebrate. Please don't hug her if you see someone like that.

See, people no longer have illicit sex by mistake these days. where do we run to? Same goes to the guys. I'm always clear about this both online anf offline.

erunz:
In writing this Rejoinder, I must make clear that I have no intention of joining issues on twitter with Mr. Japhet Omojuwa other than to clear certain misunderstandings in his piece which may be deliberate or inadvertent. We can then perhaps spark off a deeper understanding of positions across camps towards ending the silliness of a divided youth base.

In referring to those who support former President Goodluck Jonathan as “Wailing Wailers”, Japhet submits to the divisive thinking promoted by this administration in order to keep the camp of Buhari supporters united. This appellation was first used derogatively by Femi Adesina who speaks on behalf of Mr. President and he again repeated it on Christmas Day.

Those of us on this side have embraced it but in referring to those who support President Muhammadu Buhari as Buharists, not Lying Liars as we choose to describe them in equal derogatory retaliation, Japhet betrays his sentiments and it is well understood.

Subsequent parts of his article show however that he has taken a step from the left of the political divide where he used to be blatantly and sometimes abusively anti-government to embrace or make an attempt to embrace a more moderate position at least on the budget. His criticism of this document is spot on and one finds no major point to disagree with him on that.

While one is grateful that there are no allusions to pigs or ineffectual buffoons about the incumbent President:our President, he again betrays an inability to avoid continual denigration of former President Goodluck Jonathan and this is where and why it is important to clarify things a bit so that those who would like to shift positions can fully understand the position of those of us who seemed pro-government at this time last year.

In a nation of millions of people, was Goodluck Jonathan the best man to be President? Many would answer a resounding ‘no’ and that includes a lot of Wailers. But was General Muhammadu Buhari the best option and alternative to him? This was where our ‘no’ was emphatic because that negative answer was echoed not just by Wailing Wailers but by many other Nigerians who simply refused to believe in the repackaged product.

Those who recalled the Economic crises of 1984 and 1985 due to his inability to understand the Economy also said ‘no’. Those who genuinely could not see how #Change could be a regression to a past of failed leadership which had somehow been glorified and recast as Nigeria’s golden age also said ‘no’ with us. These people said ‘no’ not because they loved Goodluck Jonathan but because for them it was a case of jumping from frying pan to fire – if there would be a change of leadership (and not a change of systems), it simply could not be a change from Jonathan to Buhari.

These people were over 12 million in number and so when the likes of Adesina or Omojuwa refer to them as “Wailing Wailers”, it is obvious that they do not understand that many people were indeed unconvinced about the ability of the incumbent President to do differently, without being beneficiaries of the immediate past President. Sadly like Omojuwa stylishly admits: the President is confirming our worst fears about Buhari.

For a President who was elected on a sense of urgency; one who claimed to have leadership experience and one who had contested election three times in the past, the inability of President Buhari to form the Federal Executive Council for about five months has become the foundation of our socio-economic crises as Nigeria wasted time which the “Jonathan Must Go Even If A Pig Is The Alternative” claim we never had. One of the offshoots of that indecisiveness is a budget prepared largely without ministerial interjections except to inflate costs – Prof. Anthony Anwuka the minister of state for education admitted just this week to the senate that he was not aware of how salaries and emoluments of ministry staff jumped up by over NGN10bn from the 2015 budget.

By presenting a ministerial list of more of the same kind of politicians, some very obvious downgrade from the GEJ cabinet and persons whose only claim to office is that they had been his longterm aides and cronies, President Buhari sent a clear signal into the polity: “this is business as usual but this time, my own friends will be rewarded” and we ended up with the likes of Hadi Sirika, Adamu Adamu, Adebayo Shittu, Abubakar Malami, Abdulrahman Dambazzau and several others as ministers while Hamid Alli was drafted to the Nigerian Customs Service and Lawal Daura recalled from retirement to come and head the DSS – clear indications of Appointment By Nepotism.

Cronies of governors who were close Buhari associates also made the list: that’s how we ended up with Kemi Adeosun as Finance Minister – a close friend of Gov. Ibikunle Amosun who had been a member of the ANPP at the same time as Buhari.

And you also have an Amaechi as Minister: Gov. Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi at a reception for the man admitted that about 80% of campaign funding came from Rotimi Amaechi who at the time of the campaign was the Governor of Rivers State and we must not be simpleminded to assume that the money he spent on the campaign was left as inheritance for him by his ancestors.

As Omojuwa now sees: there was no #Change in the true sense of what Nigerians expected – the only change that took place on March the 28th of last year was a change of leadership and a change of cronies of leadership. Some of us envisaged this and we are only surprised that this Government is not even pretending to represent Change in any way by making an initial show of it, such as expunging spurious provisions from the national budget for instance.

In many instances in fact, the sums have been increased to outrageous levels: Dambazzau’s ministry wants to spend over half a billion on repairs and rehabilitation of office buildings – a 2500% increase from what was allocated in 2015.

But here is where I help those who are becoming increasingly politically conscious to understand our position, as Wailing Wailers (as they call us and we now embrace) or as PDP supporters: we admit now and ever that Goodluck Jonathan was not the ideal President for Nigeria but the alternative WAS NOT A CONSIDERABLE OPTION or an improvement on Goodluck Jonathan.

We insisted then that the man to replace Jonathan could only be one who had demonstrated an ability to grapple with Nigeria’s multifaceted problems either with visible footsteps at the state level or in private business – but let’s not rehash the pre-election arguments: we are now where we are.

Where we are is a Government that is struggling to keep up and we understand that, wholeheartedly. Where we are is a crowd of 15 million (as against 12 million), many of whom took a chance on voting Buhari for Change but now see Buhari without the promised Change. Some may be pained that Goodluck Jonathan is no longer in power but personally and for many whom I know, it was rarely about Jonathan as a person and so there is no pain here.

I have been to Abuja on the invitation of PDP more times since March 28, 2015 than since 1999. I have been in ‘opposition’ in Lagos as a PDP member since before the 2011 election so I am used to it, I like many I know have never been beneficiaries of the PDP set up and so we are used to ‘opposition’.

[b]Why then do we Wail?

We wail because the likes of Omojuwa have now lost the moral credibility to lead the charge against the same Government they told us would lead us to Eldorado, Utopia and the Elysian Fields. We wail because we warned that this President did not in any way represent Change and as Prophets of that Truth, we continue to point the way out.

We wail because those who used to tell us that it was wrong for Jonathan to godto Oba Odulana’s birthday in Ibadan 24 hours after a Boko Haram attack have lost their voice as President Buhari went to Ogun State in aso-ebi to celebrate after his citizens were killed in Dalori. We wail because those who used to tell us about foreign exchange rates falling under Jonathan now tell us that the worst exchange rates ever in Nigeria’s history are suddenly a thing of joy.

We wail because the Rule of Law suddenly does not matter. We wail because people on the streets are beginning to wail as prices of essential commodities continue to climb higher. we wail because although we understand the challenges of Governance, the failure of yesterday’s wailers to speak up in defence of certain ideals can no longer speak.

We wail because we have a right to do so, and more because we saw this coming, we insisted that this Change was fraudulent while admitting the status quo ante was not the ideal. We wail because we can.

We wail because we must. We wail because you cannot wail anymore.

We wail because we too are Nigerians.

On other aspects of Omojuwa’s article, I have no marked disagreements – I concur with him that the 2016 Budget is disgraceful: to Mr. President’s vaunted austere lifestyle and ascetism, to those like Omojuwa who sold him to youths on social media and to those who dared to believe that this one would be different.

We have moved on (maybe not all but most of us) and we appreciate the difficulties that this Government is experiencing at the moment with meeting the ideals set for the previous government. Rather than submit however to the wishes of the ruling class as embodied in this present government to keep us divided along false political lines, we insist that youths must demand better from government.

When those who defend the same things they once castigated equally understand our position as we understand theirs, there can be a unified push for better governance. As long as they keep painting us as less patriotic tha they: na here we go dey.

We must put things right. We are all nigerians. We must not see everything from the same angle.

We should not all put ourselves in a position where we can't hold the government accountable for anything.

Just like one annoying Jalingo or whatever came to inspiration FM this morning to display Stupidity and sycophancy.

I am interested in Nigeria, and Saraki is party of it. You are dying to see the current president fail even if the suffering reaches you too, it's all too obvious.

This is unfortunately too wicked of you.

How on earth will I want my president to fail. I'm a Nigerian for goodness sake. I can't believe this. May God forgive you.

Is it by telling lies or by agreeing with everything about Buhari, that will mean me not wanting him to fail?

Buhari is more important than Saraki. He is the head of government. Everything is Him... Not Saraki... Please don't go there.


Buhari is not God. He's not infallible,people link me who pray for Buhari whilst not hesitating to critically look at his moves are those who really love him and don't want him to fail. Not those who take every and anything about buhari and Fight and wish others death and hardship simply because you feel they don't like Buhari or you don't like them. Buhari's decisions may affect us more than Saraki. so Please repent .

Cultism.

People don't know what sex and rape is all about, they'd know how best to deal with it and flee from it also.

And that's what we have been saying with those rulings. But funny the APC people seem to have louder voice

Even in Ait now.

Lawsimon:
so you are saying that the supreme court should allow the blood of innocent voters kill by pdp to go just like that

Was that what was before the court?

Acidosis:
I'm not T.B Joshua but I can tell of a fact that my dreams should never be taken for granted.

Sadly and unfortunately, I saw Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, declare his membership and loyalty for the All Progressives Congress (APC). His body language while speaking in a congress hall shows some persons conspired against him. As in, it's not hard to tell that the conspiracy theorists are at work.

Co-wailers and other spirited empirical wailers like Acidosis should get ready to face the coming events

OK, after reading about fayose's visit to osun state and you go to bed, what you'll dream about will not be far fetched. It happens you know?

But if it happens, no problem. We'll just see how those who insult fayose daily will turn around to sing his praise Simply for party reasons.

We all knew that there was something sinister going on in the lower courts.

Under ground sources revealed this this, but you know theirs this bandwagon effects against anything Pdp from the media. So it dies.

Look at how disjointed most of the rulings were.

No such thing as secondary Virgin.
Nothing makes someone a Secondary Virgin. It's just a mind thing.
So why stop at secondary, why not tertiary.
