Kano crowd is already making PDP to shiit in the pant....

That's not the issue now. The issue is it lawful for alien to participate in our elections?

My brother is a very good mechanic of over 10 years working experience. He is very good at repairs/services of heavy diesel/fuel equipments or trucks as well as big power generating plants. If I say good, I mean it.

He is a holder SSCE certificate and has Trade Test 1, 2 and Trade Test 3.

And he wants to travel out to a country that can offer him a working visa for his trade, where he will earn good money for his expertise.

Which country can offer him this opportunity?

The house of Representatives have passed the bill, while it's awaiting for Senate's concurrence and then to the President for his assent. I just hope the Senate will do this speedily before handing over

THE Presidency yesterday said it had, through intelligence reports, uncovered plot by some elements within the polity to cause widespread violence during and after the forthcoming general elections.

National Security Adviser Maj.-Gen. Babagana Mongouno (retd) sounded the alert at an emergency meeting with the Nigerian Governors Forum in Abuja yesterday.

The meeting, which had 21 state governors in attendance, was also attended by the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu and the Director General of Department of State Services Mr. Yusuf Magaji Bichi.

Monguno said government is concerned that some individuals, who were not sure of their fate in the coming elections, were plotting widespread crises aimed at scuttling the conduct of the polls.

According to him, the present administration is taking proactive steps and measures to ensure a peaceful, free, fair and credible election, stressing that government has, therefore, banned the use of private security and vigilante groups across the country during the election.

He expressed concerns that the strategy being employed by people, who did not mean well for the country is to instigate crises that could snowball into endless crises for the present administration and the citizenry.

The NSA urged the governors to partner with security agencies to ensure that the conduct of the elections is peaceful and credible all over the country.

He assured that the security agencies would not only remain neutral, but maintain high level of professionalism and vigilance during elections.

However, Zamfara State governor and the NGF Chairman, Abdullaziz Yari said the Forum and President Buhari are on the same page that the coming election is not a do or die affair, asserting the Forum would partner with security agencies across the country to deliver a credible election.

“We are prepared to partner with security agencies to ensure that the process is credible and that the elections are acknowledge as free and fair by both local and international observers,” Yari said.

Yari, who was flanked by his colleagues while presenting a two-page communique issued by the forum at the end of the meeting, said the governors hailed the NSA Office for organising the meeting.

He, however, expressed concern over the spate of kidnapping and arms proliferation in the country.

He said: “Members of the governors’ forum are committed to collaborate with security agencies to ensure that the forthcoming elections are free, fair and conducted in an environment conducive for peaceful elections.

“Governors are, however, concern about the proliferation of arms and ammunition and the spate of kidnapping across the country.

“The forum recommends stronger collaboration and intelligence sharing among security agencies in the country to ensure that all lives and property are protected, regardless of individual or group affiliations.

“Lastly, we seek stronger synergy between governors as the chief security officers of their respective states and the heads of security agencies to strengthen preemptive measures of curbing election violence and other anti-social vices.”

This is one of disastrous event caused by Boko Haram in Borno State. If these people were allowed to go to their farms, this would not have happened.They used to go to their farms and harvest their food products without asking for help from anybody but due to this terrorism,they are gathered in IDP camps without providing adequate food stuffs to them while leaving them in hunger.

Imagine people are fighting to get food items for survival.It was also gathered that the rushing of food items was caused by hunger and lack of cordination during the sharing.

Lack of safety management.

So you are from north Ivie I am from north Ivie also imiegba specific how does the incident happen?

These guys live within same neighborhood and shared almost the compound in Ukhomedokha-Okpekpe. The guy of the APC went to remove campaign posters of the PDP, then the late guy, who is the youth leader of PDP there, reiterated and this degenerated to serious tango between the two groups. This was later settled by elders in the community and everyone thought they already buried the hatchet. Friday day night, don't really know what escalated the issue and fight ensued. The APC guy dashed into his room, brought out a cutlass and started matcheting the PDP guy. He was later rushed to the hospital where he couldn't survive it.

BenzEne1:
He wasn't harmed by APC thugs.
Na their internal PDP crisis.

You are not correct

EDO state should not come and tell us they are SS because clearly they are not, they are Yoruba who have been joined to the SS hence their apc affiliation.

Osibanjo as a pastor, is a national embarrassment. In fact every Christian should be ashamed of him. He represents everything the good lord stood against.

Compromise, lie, deceit, hunger for power, silence in face of evil, etc.

What do you guys expect Osibanjo to do? When Buhari refused to swear Onnoghen in as CJN, Osibanjo braced all odds to do it even when his Boss was averse to it. The buck stops at Buhari's table, or you expect to counter the position and decision of his boss?

A sporting family siphoned off cash from their own charity set up to help African children, it can be reported.

Ex-footballers Efe Sodje, 46, and Stephen Sodje, 43, and ex-rugby player Bright Sodje, 52, were found guilty and jailed for the fraud in 2017.

The case can only be reported now following the conclusion of a separate trial involving former Reading and Nigeria footballer Sam Sodje, 39.

Earlier on Monday, he was cleared at the Old Bailey of money laundering.

The fraud trial in 2017 had heard how the family set up the Sodje Sports Foundation (SSF) in 2009, ostensibly to help provide facilities in Nigeria.

However, cash raised at black-tie dinners, auctions, charity football matches and a clay pigeon shoot went into Sodje bank accounts, prosecutor Julian Christopher QC said.

In once instance, in 2011, there was a gala dinner at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester for the SSF and the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.

The £150-a-head black-tie event raised almost £11,500, but Mr Christopher said "not a penny" went to the hospital.

Judge Michael Topolski QC told the defendants: "You have brought shame upon yourselves and your family."

He said "at least £63,000 can been shown to have been received by the fund", and added that this did not include cash donations.

The defendants "went out of their way" to ensure that proper records were not kept, he said.

Any good works done in the past would be "forever tainted by their dishonest and disreputable conduct", he added.

Stephen Sodje, of Bexley, was sentenced to two years and six months in prison for receiving £30,000 in charity funds.

Efe Sodje, of Cheadle in Greater Manchester, who was "the face" of the charity, was given 18 months in jail for receiving £7,500 from the SSF and an unknown amount from a clay pigeon shooting event.

Bright Sodje, of Sale in Greater Manchester, was jailed for 21 months for receiving £3,000 from the charity and signing cheques to other family members totalling £18,000.

Reporting restrictions meant the brothers' convictions could only be reported following the conclusion of the separate money-laundering case.

Efe Sodje was cleared of money laundering at the Old Bailey in January 2018 but Emmanuel Ehikhamen, 53, of south-east London, and Andrew Oruma, 50, of Bexley, south London, were convicted.

The case against Sam Sodje collapsed and his retrial began on 7 January 2019.

Mr Sodje, who also played for Charlton Athletic, Brentford and Leeds United during his career, was charged with four counts of taking part in a fraud in which bank accounts were used to channel money from companies around the world.

He was found not guilty of two of the charges on 14 January and cleared of the remaining two counts earlier on Monday.

Another of the brothers, Akpo Sodje, 37, was implicated but moved to Dubai and refused to return to Britain for questioning.

A country where things work. So many NGOs in Nigeria diverting charity money, but the system is weak to apprehend them.

*Hymar IDIBIE DAVID’s Facebook wall *

Yesterday, Atiku showed why exactly he's my candidate.

A lot of people are claiming he showed his disregard for them.

No. You are wrong.

There's only one person who showed his disregard for Nigerians. And it is not the man who flew in from America and turned up at the venue of the debate. No, not Atiku. Man showed up! He even explained his reasons for not joining the debate eventually ( I wish those people had me to articulate their thoughts properly, whoever wrote that release no too know book.)

What was Buhari's excuse apart from "I wasn't aware there was a debate"?

Listen, you see those 3 people who showed up for the debate? Oby, Fela, Kingsley? You see them? They are frauds.

I said it . They are frauds.

They pretend to give a shit about the country, but ultimately they are there for themselves.

Let me tell you why.

Months ago, 3 of them, along with Omoyele Sowore formed PACT. The aim of pact was for them to work together. To unify and pick ONE of them to be the presidential candidate while the others throw their weights behind that ONE person.

They did some sort of primary to elect that ONE person and Fela Durotoye won.

So, what next? The others should honour their PACT and support him right?

Nope. Kingsley Moghalu and Sowore rejected the result of the selection and backed out. Oby was in charge of that selection, she too backed away to run her own thing.

Now ask yourself, people who couldn't honour a simple PACT between themselves, people who couldn't accept the result of an election they conducted within themselves, people who couldn't unite to pursue a common goal, why the Bleep should I trust them with my vote?

More importantly, why the Bleep should Atiku walk into a debate where those same people will be his opponents?

You think Atiku is stupid? You think it is because "he's not their match intellectually?" I swear you people are joking.

You want him to go to a debate where the main opponent has backed out and people who are rumoured to be working clandestinely to split votes in favour of that same opponent are gathered together

Listen, it wouldn't be a debate. It would be a gangup. It would be a cornering. It wouldn't even be about APC and her failures (as it should be) , it wouldn't even be about Nigeria, those 3 will try to attack Atiku at every turn. They would try to put him on the defensive. They would use his position as a former Vice-president to throw mud.

That's what APC folks were counting on. That's why they were so disappointed because Atiku and his handlers outfoxed them. Dem wan use am trend for Twitter and propagandaville

A debate should be balanced with everybody taking on each other's points. A 3 vs 1 scenario isn't a debate, it is a gangup.

Check yesterday's debate. Did Fela Durotoye talk about the questionable integrity of Kingsley Moghalu who couldn't honour his end of the PACT? Did Kingsley Moghalu address his claims of rigging which was the reason he gave for not honouring the PACT? No, they were blowing grammar like they had never had any dealings before. They were talking like few months ago, Kingsley wasn't claiming Fela Durotoye cheated and Fela wasn't expressing disappointment that Kingsley and Sowore had shown themselves to be nothing but overambitious power hustlers. Even Oby that is forming firebrand, did she mention anything about PACT? Did she say "two of you couldn't even honour a simple agreement, why should you be trusted to honour the constitution? How are you different from the average Nigerian politician?"

No. They were acting like it was all cool and roses. Like they were the hopes and saviours of Nigeria. But once Atiku takes the stand, they will suddenly remember to be outraged and angry and concerned about the past and his honour and history.

(And you want me to believe those guys are not clandestinely working for APC? Shebi that was how Tunde Bakare and co were jumping up and down years ago, shouting save Nigeria. But today when Nigeria really needs saving, they are not saying pim. Hahaha. You can only fool Omo Iya Martha once.)

And you want Atiku to walk right into that?

Guys, leave talk, Atiku is a smart man.

Last las, this election is between Buhari and Atiku. I can't stress it enough. Even if they had kept their word and stuck with PACT, Oby and her co 419 people don't have what it takes to battle for a governorship election, let alone a presidential election. The bizzare thing is they know it. They know they have no chance. Not even close.

So why do they keep on? Well, I can understand Fela is mad and thinks he can believe to achieve and change the look of Nigeria's archives, but the others? They are shady. They are unrealistic frauds. Did you see the kind of people they picked as Vice president? Did you watch the vice presidential debate? People that cannot even pick a decent VP, na them you believe dem go pick the right ministers? Frauds.

And ndi "Atiku has lost my votes" , please kindly geddifok. Goan vote Oby and her co-fraudsidental aspirants na. Since Occupy Nigeria and its aftermath didn't give you small sense.
