Sequel to the current gory allegations of corrupt practices in National Assembly precisely the House of Representatives, ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo has reiterated earlier his position in 2012 that rogues and armed robbers filled the legislature.
Recall that Hon. Abdumumuni Jubril (APC, Kano) who was hitherto the Chairman, House Committee on Appropriation on Friday opened a can of worms on the padding of the 2016 budget by the lawmakers, implicating the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara in the padding controversy of over N40 billion. The exposure came on the heels of his sack on Thursday by the Speaker. Obasanjo while attending the Fourth annual conference of the Academy for Entrepreneurial Studies in Lagos had said;

“Integrity is necessary for all systems and institutions to be strong. Today, rogues, armed robbers are in the state houses of assembly and the national assembly. What sort of laws will they make?”

Fielding questions from State House Correspondents on the mind-bogging, revelations in the House after meeting privately with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential Villa, Abuja on Monday, Obasanjo said that the institution stinks. He urged Nigerians to vote credible people in the parliaments, advising President Buhari to be wary. He said:

“Well, if you said that I have said it in the past and if they are people who didn’t believe what I said ‎in the past then you now say that what has come out confirms what I said in the past, then you can say what I said in the past is what I will say now. ‎”Is not question of investigation, we should get men and women of integrity in the place and the president should be very vigilant, whatever should not pass should not pass.”

Commenting on his mission, Obasanjo said he was in the Villa to deliver messages from Liberia, Gambia and Seychilles to President Buhari.

“I am visiting this time because I have some messages for the president. Not too long ago I was in Liberia and Gambia and I have messages these two countries will want me to deliver to the president. Also, only yesterday I came back from Seychelles Island where I attended this year’s Annual General meeting of Africa Export Development Bank. And there are aspects of the proceedings that I think I should update the President”,

Obasanjo said traveling to different countries has educated him more. “Travelling is a good education, what you will learn about a country by visiting that country for two or three days you won’t learn by reading through books”, he said. Asked whether he intended to slow down, he said “May God not allow you to slow now”

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said the Federal Government is working assiduously to ameliorate the challenges faced by the Nigerian economy within a short period by studying the experiences of countries like Iran which thrived in adversity.
He made the remark while receiving a Special Envoy of the Iranian President, Mohammad Javad Zarif, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said the Iranian economy remained an inspiration for Nigeria in the deployment of technology to harness and export gas, grow food for the populace and promote entrepreneurship.
He said: “The progress made by Iran within a short period of 30 years is really commendable. Within the period, you have been able to harness gas flaring, and you are now exporting. You have recorded strides in security, manufacturing, agriculture and technology.
“You have also achieved a lot in nuclear research. I must also congratulate you for successfully negotiating with America and the European countries on the development of your nuclear energy.”
He noted that Nigeria had all the potentials for growing into a great economy through more inclusive planning, consistency in government policies and commitment to the realization of development targets.
He added: “In Nigeria, we are learning. We are learning the hard way through hardship, and we are learning very quickly on how to explore other sectors of the economy like gas, solid minerals and agriculture for growth.
“We are grateful for your support and cooperation in opening up the Nigerian economy for diversification.”
In his remark, the Iranian envoy, who is also the Minister of Foreign Affairs, said the Iranian government would support the ongoing restructuring of the Nigerian economy.

If Moyes truly want Adnan Januzaj then it make sense to loan him out for a year cuz Moyes will play him. He obviously rates the kid.

If they won't accept a loan deal then we sell him with a buy-back clause firmly included for not more than a specified fee. These days prices are inflated as fûck. After all we sold back Pique to Barcelona & didn't ask for Mary Magdalene in return.

I believe it's better than keeping him on the fringes for this long. We need to learn from this Pogba issue right now.

Oya wake up, it has made FP

Disrespecting your future to please some pensioner who's gonna stay just one year. Proper management that.

"We have had quite a lot of change over the last few years," he said. "So now with Jose in there, he knows what he wants and how to get it, he knows how to win titles."


"I think that is what Man United definitely need to get back to and they need to get back to being feared again. Because we were always a club - and are still a club - that when teams come to Old Trafford, they know they are going to be up against it and they know they are probably going to lose. So that is what we need to get back to."

Not exactly!

But if Mikhi plays behind the striker who plays on the RW that can give a decent game.

We need someone on the RW that is effective like Martial on the LW in his element.

Rooney, Mata, Janujaz, Valencia and Young are the options and they aint exactly RWingers.

APC will never get tired of lies. For God sake these pic were never taken from any APC rally. A close look at d last pic, I can see an umbrella in PDP color. Oga Lai Mohammed ur boys at work.

codedguy1:
Martial should always start on the LW. Seeing him on the right is like wasting both our right and left wings. There are players that need to step up on that RW to have it covered.

I tried to fix 2players in a position for the team to see the balance. Seems we are bloated in the middle. Need specialist in RW, 1more CB. If we don't get Pogba that midfield still looks soft.
