This same Reno Omokri who opened his foul mouth to insult and ridicule a personality like Madam Oby Ezekwesili for advocating for Chibok girls; Reno verbally attacked the woman while she protested under GEJ and also mocked her while she protested under PMB. Fastforward and we get the same person carrying the advocacy of Leah Sharibu on his head. The man thinks Nigerians are all fools like the people hailing him on his twitter page?

No doubt, Nigerians are not worth fighting for because those you fight for will be the ones to even crucify you; anyone in doubt should go ask people like Sowore. But Reno should just shut his hypocritical traps, quit insulting our sensibilities and retire to his oblivion in peace.

Not a fan of Bello one bit but this story sounds incredible. If it happened before or during election, fine. But after election results have already been announced? Naaaa!

Celebrating supporters killing opponents as part of their victory celebration? This sounds like a shit load of propaganda.

No matter how sincere and upright a person is, the subject of having unprotected sex, pregnancy and abortion is a very delicate one. For the lady to actually have the courage and honesty to disclose this to you even before marriage, heck! She's one of the top 0.001% of honest women I ever heard of and I wonder how much more sincerity you want.

99.99% of ladies would NEVER disclose that except you catch them pants down. This is the problem with the truth, people always want to know the truth but can you handle it? I would never have the courage to ask my woman how many guys she's been with cos I doubt I would be able to stomach some kind of information.

What a shame if APC wins bayelsa. With all these rubbish going on in this govt and people still go out and vote APC, Nigerians love suffering. I have made up my mind never to pray for the Nigerian nation because we are the cause of all our problems. Shame to bayelsa if apc wins

I guess PDP turned Nigeria to paradise in 16 years, no wonder Nigeria was a first world developed country prior to 2015... Bayelsa state with its microscopic population, limited land and massive oil income, yet the state has remained a pitiful poto-poto swamp where teachers are owed salaries, thanks to PDP's 16 years of 'excellent' leadership. Yet you think the people of the state do not reserve the right to chart a different course for once?

The contestants in the Bayelsan elections are all Bayelsans, and the people of the state are smart enough to know that PDP and APC are different sides of the same coin. They simply voted the more charismatic individual who they believed would probably be a better leader for their state; they aren't blinded by the inconsequentiality of party titles.

Power is not permanent ooh

If Jonathan acted like this ...buhari would not have smelled aso rock ooh

Amazing how some Nigerians choose to ridicule themselves with selective amnesia. There's nothing happening in the elections these days which didnt happen under OBJ and Jonathan.

Hmmm.. Looks like a case of "bushmeat catching the hunter?"

I.T gbuo gi there!

Nothing changes, yemi still remains a powerless audio vp. you are pained that the loyal errand boy is being humiliated this way, your painment never even start.

some bastards have been threatening fire and brimstone should yemi's ordeal continue.
FOOLS, nothing will happen if the cabal thrash osunbade. Keyboard warriors can't even organise a simple protest to show their support - COWARDS!!!

osunbade must carry his cross, the christendom he betrayed doesn't care... Even odumakin and other key yoruba voices dont care about osunbade.

osunbade would now know that dining with the devil has consequences. The awolowo treatment is real...

Stay tuned for more updates, I will notify you...

#AwolowoTreatment

Oh, so this is even a comment from one of the Nairaland tribal clowns?.... Okay sorry bro!... Yes Osunbade is a powerless audio VP and he's suffering and he and his tribesmen are being taught a sweet lesson. Yaaay!!

DontBeStupid:
Yemi has always been an audio VP, he never commanded the powers of a real VP. The cabal always ordered him around.

Whether he resigns or not, the fact is that yemi is powerless - he has no say. He would continue to serve the interests of the cabal.

Thats how he got the names - mere commissioner, errand boy etc.

He cant even defend his faith, so most christians wont give him the support he desperately needs now. Even his brothers (odumakin & co) dont care about him.

He was warned, yet he signed up for it.
He must face the consequences.

Oga keep your advice to yourself; Yemi doesnt need it. You desperately want to see him fight his boss, so you can roll out your drums and dance in jubilation over his downfall when shit hit the fan, you simply want to see his downfall, the downfall of 'your enemy'. But he's smarter than that, YES he's smarter than you and will not do anything stupid which you want him to.

Meanwhile he has achieved far more than you can ever achieve in your life no matter how hard you try to belittle him. Every discerning adult knows that the powers of VPs are very very limited, not just in Nigeria, but also in places like the US where we copied our presidential system of government. Everybody knows VPs are more like ceremonial appendages of the presidency whose authority is purely dependent on whatever the president chooses to assign to him. Yet you want him to challenge the president and to what purpose?

Yes he's a weak man, he's a mere commissioner, he's a sissy boy, call him whatever you like. That notwithstanding, Yemi remains one of the most active VPs Nigeria has ever produced; that explains why he's always on the news and why his name is always on the lips of his pained God forsaken haters. If you doubt it, honestly tell me whether you ever heard the name of GEJ or Sambo when they were VPs....

And by the way, true Christians still have regard for him and pray for him daily; it's only jealous demonic bile filled haters who hated and never supported him from day 1 that still dont regard him till date (no need to act like the disregard started today; that faćade is too clear). If it pains anyone so bad that Yemi wouldn't yield to your evil plans to go fight his boss (of which your true aim is to see his downfall), biko go hug a transformer.

I wish I could like this comment below more than once.

festacman:
Surprising that Bloomberg fell for this mischievous narratives inspired by the opposition. In US, does the Economic Advisory Council advise Pres. Trump or VP Pence? The answer says it all.

It is important to emphasize that the influence, which VP Yemi Osinbajo enjoyed and exerted during first 4 years in office was largely due to Pres. Buhari's ill-health and loyalty. It is this influence that people are mistaking today as convention rather than conscious concession. Let's face it. How influential was VP Jonathan under Pres. Yar'adua or VP Sambo under Pres. Jonathan. Pres. Obasanjo who conceeded too much to VP Atiku regretted it. I am sure while sincere supporters moan on his behalf and mischievous haters display their mockery, VP Osinbajo will remain grateful to Pres. Buhari for that rare 'freehand' opportunity, which endeared him to Nigerians and catapulted his political worth.

The fact remains that in Presidential System of Government, the VP is an appendage of the President. The President is the executive Head of Government and Commander-in-Chief. This is captured in the constitution. I am sure that as someone who taught and practised law, VP Osinbajo knows his place. It is so in United States from where we borrowed the system.

Now, take a look at what some former United States VPs said about the post they once occupied:

“I am not in a leadership position. I am supporting the president. He can exert the leadership and I can support him.” — Nelson Rockefeller, the 41st vice president

The vice presidency is “not worth a bucket of warm piss” and “the worst damn fool mistake I ever made.” — John Nance Garner, the 32nd vice president

“The vice presidency is the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.” — John Adams, the 1st vice president

“Look at all the vice presidents in history. Where are they? They were about as useful as a cow’s fifth teat.” — Harry Truman, the 34th vice president

“I would a great deal rather be anything, say professor of history, than vice president.” — Theodore Roosevelt, the 25th vice president

"You shut the door, you tell the boss exactly what you think. But when the door opens, the job of the vice president is to stand right next to the president and implement the policy that he's decided. And I'm prepared to do that. - Mike Pence currently serving as the 48th vice president of the United States

“I do not propose to be buried until I am really dead.” — New Hampshire Sen. Daniel Webster, on rejecting an offer to be future President William Henry Harrison’s running mate in 1839

CanadaOrBust:
I have searched the internet, I can’t find any other time it has been done, not even in history (I mean carrying a bill to a foreign country to give a prez to sign). If u can find an instance let us know.
If it is no big deal why was the constitution amended so that after 21 days the NA must mandate the VP to take over the govt?

Muhammadu Buhari is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, not Osinbajo. It is the president's prerogative to decide if he wants to sign a document himself, or if he wants his deputy to sign it for him; it is also his prerogative to choose if he wants to sign it in his office, or in a hotel or in Abuja or Sokoto or London; enough of this noise making over nothingness. By signing a sheet of paper whilst in Nigeria House London, as opposed to Abuja, the president has broken no existing Nigerian laws (True or False). The 21 days Law was instituted to forestall a nasty situation like the Yaradua saga where there was a vacuum in leadership. If Buhari is sound enough to sign a document even on camera, how is that a vacuum of leadership?

Under our presidential system of government (even under the American system which we claim to copy), VPs have very limited powers; they are more like mere ceremonial assistants to the president. The VP Osinbajo is a seasoned lawyer who knows his job and who knows the limits of his powers and authority; so he's not complaining. Quit drinking panadol for him! The VP is also an extremely calm and collected man of wisdom who can read from several miles, the evil manipulations of his detractors (claiming to be friends) who are hell bent on forcing him to pick a fight with his boss.

Whether you like it or not, Osinbajo still takes the honour as one of the most influential VPs Nigeria has ever produced despite the typical lack of authority of VPs. That partly explains why his name is always on the news and on the lips of his haters and 'bad-wishers'). When GEJ or Sambo were VPs, did you ever hear of their names or even know of their existence?

omenka:
I guess the bible verse was useless when Jonathan was the president. Why didnt he resign then, or why didn't you people advice him to resign?

Hypocrites.

Apparently they want him to resign because of some flimsy tussle with the cabal so they can unleash their drums and dance to the downfall of one of their sworn enemies.

But then again, after the dust settles and the cabal picks say El Rufai as new VP, they will widen their mouths in resumption of the wailing carnival; gnashing their teeth that PMB dropped a Pastor and picked an Imam. These fellows are irredeemably lost.

hisexcellency34:
Why is Osinbajo so desperately holding on to power? I thought the Bible said all is vanity?

You want him to resign because some people in the presidency are trying to sideline him?... And then what next? You and several detractors lurking around would rejoice and rejoice at the supposed 'downfall' of one of your supposed enemies?

And probably again, after he resigns and the cabal appoints say, Elrufai as VP, you and your ilk again would increase the volume of the wailing festival saying PMB dropped a Pastor and picked an Imam as deputy?

Very funny set of humans.

sassysure:
Thank u Mr lawyer.
I had expected our so called constitutional lawyers to shed more light into this but it seems like we don't have such lawyers in Nigeria anymore or is it Buhari effect?

So the 21 days brouhaha was taken out of context?

Hmm.

I hate politicians but I'm beginning to pity the vice president. That man will soon develop high bp. He will be regretting seriously.
He made money working with tinubu, has a successful career, what again does he want if not greed?
Even as he went to aso rock, greed no gree am see road.

Those that put you there has more political powers than u.
U for quietly do what u signed for and go your way.
At least, we will still blame it to the redundant office of the vp as usual. U can never make Nigeria better.
Very impossible. As long as Nigeria is structured this way with the useless 1999 constitution backing it, no president will make naija work. U try, forces around u will spoil show for u. Ask Jonathan and late yaradua.

Did the VP ever complain to you or abybody, or did he tell you he needed anybody's pity? What exactly is there to be regretted? Did Atiku or GEJ or Sambo regret being Nigerian VP? So why should Osinbajo regret being VP?

Who in Nigeria doesnt know the VP's power are very limited? What's even all these noise about the president travelling for few weeks and not handing over the mantle to VP? Is this the first time this is happening in Nigeria since 1999 or could this noise just be due to a lack of other meaningful topics to discuss?

This new found obsession of PDP supporters with Osinbajo is really interesting. Apparently all other political strategies have failed back to back, the latest move is now to attack Osinbajo since PMB has painfully ignored them.

Off topic and off point...

Nothing new about your brain not getting the point.

Akpiiiiii!

AbleGod7555:
Now we are beginning to understand why the president said that every minister should report to his chief of staff (Abba Kyria). We are identifying the acting Vp(vice president) gradually. God will helps us to overcome this problem.

That is the exact duty of a chief of staff all over the world. It is not the duty of a VP to take letters to the president to sign; it is also not the duty of anyone else but the CoS to receive official and private visitors on behalf of the presdient. There is nothing wrong or unusual about the role played by the CoS here. People should educate themselves.

Chukapage:
So signing that bill outside the country was cool?? As in to take a bill down to a foreign country to sign?? what happened to waiting for him to return? What happened to his VP ? Even if he burns the Senate tomorrow you will still defend him so I ain't suprised ,Oya continue your "Zombieish" "follow your leader"

My comment had nothing to do with supporting any political candidate like you alluded to... you don't see me coming on this forum to support any politician anymore; elections are long over and i didnt even supporr any candidate in the last election. But this is purely common sense being elusive on this thread and it's nauseating just sitting down and reading nonsense lamentations.

There was no urgency in that bill that it couldnt wait till the president returns in 2 weeks. So for whatever reason the bill was taken to him to be signed in London, I do not know, and you also do not know. It may be that his chief of staff was in london for some other official business and decided to take the opportunity to get the document to the president; the fact is that we both dont know.

My comment was strictly referring to the argument of the VP not being allowed to sign the bill instead; a simple common sense answer it is - the VP is the VP and not the president. The president did not handover to the VP this time because he constitutionally didnt need to.

DrCruz:
An upcoming illiterate fool. MANNABBQGRIL, Afamed, Simplyleo, Helinues and other advance fools are hiding but you want to prove a point.

Your entire family and generation are the illiterate fools you talk about.

The president doesnt need to handover to the VP if hes going to be away for less than 21 days. Thats simply what the constitution says so my esrlier comment was simply to point out how irrelevant the uproar on this thread was.

My statement had absolutely nothing to do with political support of anybody; I dont like the way the cabal treats the VP, but on this one, this outrage is needless and mostly just out of ignorance and actually even hatred for the VP (strangely). I dont expect a fool to understand this though. May all your insults be returned to you accursed self and family.

adekennis:
Hey man stop it.. I’m a full Buharist but this is total nonsense..Let’s condemn what is bad.

The bill can only be signed by the president or Ag. president. There is no Ag. President because Buhari did not transmit power to the VP before leaving the country so therefore, only Buhari as president is authorised to sign that bill. So what exactly is the uproar about if not just ignorance?

The constitution only requires the president to handover to the VP if he will be away from the country for over 21 days, so I ask again, what is this uproar about?... this isnt about supporting A or B, this is just a case of common sense. It gets really boring and ridiculous these days when one opens Nairaland and the only thing one reads is just threads like this filled with ignorant talk and meaningless lamentation.

lunacol:
True,but the cabals are ready to program the movement of the president to be having a shortfall in the number of days needed for the president to hand over if he is to stay off Nigerian borders.The cabals are really dealing with the vice president.There is a power play going on in between the vice-president and the cabals headed by Abaa Kyari.

Of course the cabal controlling the president is doing all they can to sideline the VP (and the yoruba bloc completely), that's general knowledge. But reading the comments on this thread, you will agree with me the entire outcry is just ignorance dancing on steroids (because nothing illegal or unusual has happened here).

madridsta007:
Not sure if Nigeria is practicing a Theocracy based on Islamist Principles or a full-fledged civilian totalitarianism style of government. Clearly Buhari didn’t hand over to Osinbajo as stipulated in the constitution. He clearly didn’t.

When will Yorubas sit up? This is such a crying shame.

The president only needs to hand over to the VP if he's going to be away for more than 14 days or thereabouts; that's what is written in your constitution. Except of course you're talking of another country's constitution. This same issue has come up and has been clarified too many times; I wonder why many choose to still be unaware of it.

Chukapage:
Zombie !! It is news because in the absence of the President his Vice calls the shots and do this stuffs!! This is the height of Illegality! Is Abba kyari the VP ?? Didn't he see the office of the VP? I pity osinbanjo shaaa his office has been highly disrespected by nitwits and non entities!! A whole Prof chai!! ZOMBIES I know you're a Northerner but abeg try hard to get sense even though I know it's HARD for an average Northerner just try

Just imagine the ignoramus who's gleefully calling someone else a zombie! Yes I am a northerner, and I'm not surprised that's all your brain power could churn out.

What exactly is illegal about a president signing a bill simply because he's outside the country? The president did not handover to the VP when leaving the country, so he's still officially the president and the VP is still the VP (not the Ag. President), and there's absolutely nothing illegal about that so long as the president doesn't spend more than 14 days outside the country.

hammerD:
London is where you go to get your state allocation right?

Wat is the job of VP AGAIN?

After Abba Kyari and Osinbanjo, 2023 will be Tinubu and Elrufai, until Yoruba get sense.

I'm not sure I understand what you're driving at. So apparently this is supposed to be some kind of tribal politics or tribal teasing or bashing?

Which functional adult in Nigeria doesn't know that VPs are sidelined? Is it today that VPs started becoming powerless in Nigeria's politics? If I get you right, Osibnajo should go and start fighting his boss because cabal sidelined him or maybe Yorubas should start fighting Buhari or better still, Yorubas should start supporting PDP and that will be your idea of "Yorubas beginning to have sense?" I'm lost!

I struggle to separate the childishness from the substance (if any) in your statement.

Another pointless event for wailers to masturbate on. Why exactly is this news?

Whether she bleached or not, I do not know; but for anyone to base the bleaching argument on those pictures posted in the original post, that's just dumb. Lighting conditions in the old picture vs the recent ones is clearly different, so it's just silly comparing skin complexion on the basis of those pictures.
