Chei see fine gyal in red looking so innocent

lol... thought I was the only one noticing her instead of the convention setup

idumuose:
My comment on Buhari and Atiku will be put on hold until this wednesday when APC will hold presidential primaries.Whenever APC through their lying Mohammed tell us that it did not zone the presidency to the north,i can't help but laugh.

Why is there no yoruba man contesting for APC presidential primaries? A look at the contestants and their geographical leanings will reveal very clearly that it has been zoned to the north.

Kwankwaso - Kano (North)

Nda Isaiah - Kaduna (north)

Atiku - Adamawa (North)

Buhari - Katsina (North)

Okorocha is the only candidate from the south.

This born to rule mentality which APC is promoting must be stopped

What born to rule mentality? Since 1999 till now we have had southern men in charge for most of the years. How better are we? I think the present mentality of 'na our son, even though he his bad, he must continue to rule' is more dangerous for the country at this time.

Iroh88:
Buhari's mantra is that he'd fight corruption to a standstill and most Nigerians have faith in him to keep that promise. Fix the scourge of corruption and you effectively fix 80%, or more, of our problems. What is was/is Jonathan's mantra?? "I had no shoes"!! How in God's gracious name is that our problem Has shoelesness or "shoefulness" ever been a factor in determining how a country is governed

Buhari towers over and above anything our present crop of politicians have to offer. At this point in our national life, we can ill afford any further deterioration in our economic indices especially as regards government's probity and fight against corruption.

Buhari is simply the man for the Job!

I believe there are better politicians in APC for the job but for the fact that Buhari has a large followership from his zone that many of those better candidates cannot boast of, those Buhari's followers will not even bother or need to watch any interview or debate involving him as their mind is made up on him. And politics is a game of number.

I agree more with the comment by Matthewbriggs below especially the bold:

Matthewbriggs:
We need the former general to be on more interviews, if possible debates. That would be cool, Nigerians need to know that His supporters are way smarter than who they are supporting.

Afraid of been caught... I am more afraid of the fact that, that he is not a master strategist with a deep understand of Nigerians economy, he does not have a clear cut strategy on ground ... just his fight against corruption mantra.

I like his stance on corruption, I am confident he would do his best to fight corruption if elected president, But the fact is he would be not be effective in fighting corruption reason been that he sounds to me like someone who detest democracy and thus may find it difficult adjusting, coupled with the fact that he does not strike me as a very good strategist ... He thinks linearly ... in one direction.

Watch Fashola speak and you'll understand where I am coming from. Fashola is a technocrat.

I will find it easy to support a Buhari/Fashola ticket. Because I know Fashola would be the brains, while he would be the muscle and moral compass. anything less is a disaster.

APC should ensure Buhari wins the primaries and pair him with Fashola ... because the rest of the other candidates are nothing to write home about.

I just hope APC will not sell off their best pair for the fair the 'Muslim-Muslim' campaign their distractors are using against them.

We shall access that statement/the process here after

Wetin concern you for APC matter?

Are you now an APC member/supporter? I thought you are a TANoid

Desola:
OAM4J,

When did I become a god that you invoke?

So ara e o, bobo yi.

Who needs another god where eyin iya.... dey?

I mean Iyalode o... A o ni se eyin iya o.

egift:
There are so many, but the question is will they also bring in more votes. Election is a game of numbers. With PDP rigging, use of force, fat wallet and more, APC will need all the votes possible to even secure a slim victory.

So there is only one attempt at getting it right. Apart from APC party campaign efforts, one team that can attract most votes in today's Nigeria, is a Buhari/Fashola Ticket.

All it is a fact that anyone who tell you he will not vote APC because they presented a Muslim/Muslim ticket, has already made up their mind not to vote APC, irrespective of the eventual candidate.

Jonathan already has the sympathy, sentiments, greed and selfish voters. To win,
APC need to target those who will vote for patriotism, competence, vision, independence, diligence, growth, development, etc.

Your post; especially your last paragraph and most especially the last sentence makes a lot of sense.

Funny how a meeting that suppose to discuss Yoruba unity dwelled more in disuniting Yorubas.

Ngwakwe:
The caller may have mistook him for OAM4J as the two monikers have something in common

lol, possible.

If such person should contact me, I go employ desola, Sango, Oya, Ogun Amadioha and the 16 Alegemos from my mother's town to curse the hell out of him or her.

My conscience and the future of my future-generations is not for sale, not for all billions stolen/missing. I want a better country that my future generations can be proud up.

atlwireles:
That's where both of us differ, what is happening today in NE/NW can never happen anywhere in the South. We had militants before, be it Nigerdeltan, Bakassi boys or OPC. The mixture on politics and religion, is the demon destroying the north today. Nobody can save them, but themselves.

Save themselves? Then why do we have Police and armed forces if they have to save themselves?

And when Sanusi told them to fight for themselves many of you accused him of calling for anarchy since it is the job of of the government to fight for them and secure them.

EUROBOMBER:
Please stop twisting facts. The north was at the forefront of the opposition against the creation of state police. Kwankwaso covertly created his islamic state police and named them Hisbah. Where are they now? Only good at arresting innocent southerners drinking and destroying truck loads of beer. Smh for you.

Governors' Forum was unanimous in calling for state police, but Jonathan was jittery that they state police will be abused by Governors.

You guys just locked up your brains while attempting to defend the indefensible. So we should blame Hisbah for not crushing Boko haram that operates in many states and spare Nigerian police, Army, DSS, Air force, navy and their Commander in Chief, right?

Your reasoning is amazing, This is why I find it difficult to engaging some of you Jonathanians in a debate.

funkybully:
Is Hisbah not Kano state police? Tell me What He does with Kano state security votes.

Blame GEJ if u can't impregnate ur wife too.

How much do you know of Hisbah? calling Hisbah Kano state police shows you are ignorant or half educated.

atlwireles:
It's rather clear you were born yesterday. I was born at night, just not last night. Look for people to blame for your boko haram problem, as long as you keep your blame to North eastern/western Nigeria.

You want facts, do your own research.

It baffles me that some people like you still think Boko haram is a Muslim or Northern thing. You might have a point when they were bombing the churches and areas mostly occupied by southerners. But for God sake those people killed here were Muslims and mostly from the North.

If we keep on with this silly notion that has failed us from getting solution by making it a Muslim, Northern or a political party problem which exactly is the card our commander in chief is playing, then we will never get a solution to this problem.

Life is life and life is sacred, whether it is of your kinsman or not, we should value it and all together feel concerned. The only crime those that died committed was being Nigerians and having a clueless head of government and C in C.

In a sane country, everyone will join their voices together, give their head of state an ultimatum to fix the problem or demand for his resignation.

It is happening in the North today, tomorrow it might be in your part of the country... Those who died today are not related to you, and I pray it never involves any of your relatives before you put the blame at the right quarter and demand for real solution.

As for me our president and Commander in Chief has failed us; QED!

funkybully:
Why is kwankwaso the chief security officer of Kano?

Where is his hisbah?

You called a Governor of a state the chief security officer, when even the state commissioner of police will not take orders from him?

They asked for state police, The federal government said 'No', with what security forces will he secure his state?

Blame the guy that commands all the security officers; The police, army, DSS, Navy, Air force etc..

I totally agree with Keyamo.

I consider myself a gentleman, but if I find myself in those legislators' shoes, I will not only jump the fence, I will pull down the gate with the wall if I have the means to.

They have every right to be in that chamber without any harassment to do what Nigerians voted and employed them to do. If they had not jumped the fence, it would have been another 'Ekiti' impeachment.

I also commend those legislators.

aljharem:
Egbon, it is a shame you have engage yourself in this partisan politics and lies of APC.
I will answer your question respectfully sir.

1. I am talking about the constitution of Nigeria

2. The duty of the speaker and deputy speaker was abandon since they left duty without notice or permit
3.Yes it is unconstitutional if they left without notice. E sir, can you leave your office for days without notice and expect the activities of the office to stop because of you ? Of course you will be fired. Simple !!!!!!!!

Nigeria government is not a charity organisation where you can just leave without notice. Afterall it is tax-payers money !!!!


4. There are procedures again he did not follow due process

5.Yes they were found missing

6. Yes indeed Lagbaja was referring to APC blind supporters that will rather read the paid propagandist instead of researching.

Lastly, there is a saying. The best way to keep a black man in ignorance is by putting the information in a book.

Egbo e lo ka constitution yin

Aburo, stop embarrassing yourself, there are many learned people here. This is not about APC, this is about, common sense, decency and the rule of law.

1. Where does the constitution of Nigeria says the speaker or his deputy cannot travel out of their state?

2. Permit? (Dont make me laugh!), Who does the speaker seek permission from? The Governor?

3. Leave without notice? You mean the speaker must notify everyone of his whereabouts even when the house is not in session?

4. Can you educate us about this due process?

5. Missing from where?

The part of the constitution you quoted about a member of the House vacating his seat in the House is a general application for removing a member from the house not for removing the speaker. Even if you must apply it, read the underlined again:

(f) without just cause he is absent from meetings of the House of which he is a member for a period amounting in the aggregate to more than one-third of the total number of days during which the House meets in any one year;

You mean the speaker and his deputy have been absent from house sitting for about a third of their meetings this year? or they were sacked because they were not part of one kangaroo sitting of last week?

Stop fooling yourself aburo, read and understand the constitution before quoting it, where you don't understand or incapable of understanding, ask questions.

aljharem:
Is it constitutional for the speaker and deputy to leave their post of duty without notice ?

Yes or No

Answer this then we can move forward

What are you really on about?

What constitution are you talking about? What duty was abandoned? Is it unconstitutional for a speaker of another state to travel to Lagos or anywhere in the country or out of the country?

Are there no procedure for convening the house? Was the house duly convened and the speaker and his deputy found missing?

Who is a fool here that doesn't know this group-7 illegally convened the house at the dictates of their thug master Fayose to do his bidding?

Stop this arguments like Nigerians are fools. Well, may be Lagbaja is right about Nigerian 160 million 'mumus', but am definitely not one.

@OP

I watched the entire video, I cant see any slapping, I saw someone holding the Senate president but no slapping.

Can you post a screenshot of the exact slide where the slapping took place, in case my eyes were deceiving me?

Otherwise you change the title of the thread or I'will change it if i don't get a response soon.

Thanks.
