Codes151: thats a prince! Even Buhari kneels to speak to a monarch!!! That’s not necessary Theresa May isn't the first person to greet a prince, other British people, both within and outside government greet even the queen herself without having to kneel down. There is no law in the UK saying you have to kneel to greet the queen, let alone her grand son. Theresa chooses to kneel out of her own personal will; so if you see nothing wrong with that, what exactly is your problem with El Rufai or Omo Agege who both come from cultural backgrounds where people kneel to greet elders? COuld this just be black man mentality (i.e. self hate)? |

agbangam: Theresa May knelt down for a Prince which is a must do . but the other two bingos  stephleena: That's the usual way Theresa greets the senior royals..
El-rufai,is a midget so going close to the ground is natural..
But Omo-agege a full grown southern man, did it in style, beautifully and gorgeously stupid. stephleena: Not at all..that's Theresa's signature greeting to the Royals. I'm yet to see the same Omo-agege kneeling before monarchs,apart from when receiving prayers..
El-rufai's kneeling is habitual..he has done it for Atiku, OBJ ,it's now Buhari's turn.
Culture and eye service are two different things. Another way to look at it is this. Theresa May (62) knelt down to greet a 36 year old prince. Verdict = He's part of the royals El Rufai and Omo Agege knelt down to greet someone who's not just about 20 year older than them, but is also the president and emperor in chief of Nigeria. Verdict = In Africa, we respect elders, especially elders with influence. Besides in Urhobo culture where Omo Agege is from, the Urhobo greeting 'Migwo' literally translates as " I am on my knees". So anyone angry with Omo Agege for practicing his culture should go and sleep. |

SouthSouth1914: You are the one who is off the mark! Trying to paint a satanic person as a messiah so that the public can buy him is totally unwarranted, myopic and simply ass licking at its best! Lol... You're just going on and on wailing over Buhari even when the discussion isn't about Buhari. If you were emotionally stable enough, you would have noted that. Okay let me bring you back to where this started. You complained that the current NASS had been bought over by the Presidency, and I pointed out that even the previous NASS which purportedly wasn't bought, was also as useless as they come. To prove my statement, I challenged you to name a single bad policy of the Presidency which the NASS successfuly blocked? Furthermore, I pointed out that guys in the NASS were nothing more than self serving rogues who only seemed to oppose the presidency only on issues of their personal interest. Once again I challenge you to prove me wrong in this. Nowhere did I praise Buhari or call him a messiah of any sort as you allege, but your inordinate obsession for Buhari makes you see any comment not throwing jabs at him (even in unconnected topics) as 'praise' If it makes you feel better, YES, Buhari is an incompetent buffoon who has no business being the president of a great nation like Nigeria today. But I wasn't talking about Buhari, I was talking about the NASS, the focus of my discussion and the focus of this thread is the NASS. That Buhari is bad does not automatically make the NASS saints (that was my point). The so called "unbought" NASS under Saraki was as useless as they come, they did not give Nigeria any progress, rather they were a clog in the wheel of progress with their incessant delays of the budget and insistence of padding federal budgets with meaningless constituency projects. |

Venerable612: That’s not good for Democracy.
The reason the Uk and the US are so developed is because they have a healthy opposition at the helms of affair. Otherwise one party would have sold all of them out without any scrutiny.
Why do you think Brexit has taken this long and Theresa May had to resign?
I pity Nigerians. They have just started selling the country. Healthy opposition we need; but remember, not every opposition is healthy. The opposition of Saraki and co who kept delaying budget passage till Q3 over disagreements arising from their insistence on inserting flimsy constituency projects, I doubt if that could really be termed 'healthy opposition'. |

tactius: My problem is that he and many other Nigerians kept quiet and allowed the Army run over is for another five years.
Indeed, most Nigerians allowed themselves to think it was a tribal thing and as a result we lost our chance to get back to democracy for another five years.
Mind you, Abiola was not the Messiah. But if we Nigerians had been courageous enough to realize that democracy is not about who wins, not about all your tribal issues, etc... maybe history would be different.
I don't like PDP or APC. I'm dissatisfied with this democratic epoch. But I won't support any coup or attempt to subvert it.
I may be selfish and arrogant to say this, but I wish Nigerians thought like that too. Maybe we would have avoided things like the civil war and the pogroms if five majors decided to go into politics and fight on the electoral battlefield instead of organising a coup. Maybe we would have been a democratic country for much longer. It won't have been perfect, but it would have been better than one man army rule. Hahaha... OBJ who tried to speak, what happened to him?... 30 years in prison! You really do think Buhari doesn't like his freedom right?

He did condemn the annulment, but that's all he did.
Ended up serving in Abacha's government as ptf head. Politics is just funny; when people hate you, they hate you till the end, and will always find something to pin on you.  You say he condemned the annulment but you still aren't satisfied. Point of correction, by heading PTF, he was serving Nigeria, not Abacha. |

To sane and patriotic Nigerians, Saraki the worst Senate President ever. The matter is tiring.

There goes your answer The last senate under Saraki which we all assume wasn't bought, can you mentiion a single bad policy of the presidency which Saraki and his goons were able to stop for the benfit of Nigerians? Someone recently said Saraki was the best Nigerian senate president and I dare to ask, what did he do? Apart from extracting budget sums from important projects and pumping same to their flimsy constituency projects against the will of the presidency (and of course to the excitment of those who hate buhari), can anyone mention any major policy of Buhari which was stopped by Saraki for the benefit of Nigerians? A lot of people seem to just loosely assume that a senate is good if the principal is at loggerheads with a president. |

Car Talk › Re: Customs Import Duty Has Been Increased by obailala(m): 9:39pm On Jun 11, 2019 |
autojosh: https://autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/cars-imported-into-the-us.jpg
Without any notice, without any prior hint, the official Customs exchange rate was increased yesterday. The rate which used to be N306 per dollar has now been increased to N326 per dollar. Consequently, this has led to an increase in the cost of clearing cars and other imported items at the Nigerian ports.
The new rate was announced on Monday morning and it was implemented immediately throwing lots of vehicle owners and clearing agents into a state of confusion.
One of the clearing agents Autojosh spoke to confirmed that he had been asked to pay a surface duty amount of N2,350,000 for a Mercedes Benz SUV. However, he got a shocker after he tried to input the details into the Customs server in order to proceed with the clearing process. "This N2,500,000 I'm seeing on this computer must be an error".. He said to himself.
Another agent said he had calculated the total clearing cost of his customer's 2005 Toyota Camry using the usual surface duty of N201,000. Now, he has to go back to his customer to explain that the surface duty has been increased to N214,000 (note that these quoted surface duties is different from total clearing costs. Surface duty does not include taxes, shipping/terminal charges and other ancillary costs).
According to the Public Relations Officer of the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents at Tin Can Island Port, Mr Emmanuel Onyeme, all transactions and cargoes that were cleared at the port on Monday were already paying N326 per dollar.
The introduction of this policy is really saddening and it's even more saddening that it was implemented with immediate effect after importers had shipped their items and clearing agents had already accepted jobs using calculations based on the old rate of N306 per dollar.
Do you have a car or other items that's currently heading to Nigeria? Be ready to pay more than you initially anticipated.
https://autojosh.com/customs-import-duty-increases/ Apparently the CBN has quietly floated the Naira and ended the multiple exchange rate regime which everyone has been complaining and blaming Buhari about. Nigerians should brace up for a potential crash in the value of the Naira in the coming days or weeks. The Customs exchange rate is just a tip of the iceberg. https://abokifx.com/news/nigeria-s-naira-is-free-floating-so-says-the-central-bank-bloomberg-quint |

mrvitalis: Okay OuK , roachas , nigige ,onu And the rest are jot grounded in APC ?
U just dont Have a point pazienza: obailala :
Why can't we say same of APC. Every tribe and ethnicity were represented in APC right from the beginning as well. The Okorocha controlled faction of APGA broke off and joined ACN and CPC to form APC. From the beginning, APC controlled one Igbo state, same as the supposedly Igbo party, APGA who controlled just Anambra. So as with your Yoruba self, you above statement is pure lies. Rochas, Ogbonnaya Onu, Ngige were in APC from the very beginning. If you claim Igbos locked themselves off from APC because Igbo populace preferred PDP to APC in the majority, then by same token, one can claim Yoruba populace locked themselves off from PDP by siding with AD in 1999, yet PDP in the principle of national integration chose SW for presidency. See this your Yoruba treacherous way of twisting narratives to suit your evil agenda need to stop.
What are you talking about? You mean IMO state that voted for APC sitting governor in Rochas in 2015 have not tried? Rochas that fought to win votes for APC in Imo, Orji Kalu and Nkeiru Onyejeocha that delivered massive votes for APC in 2019 state, senatorial and presidential elections in Abia North folded their hands?
Bia nwa yolobar a, jee donu ani o! Power is not given, it is taken! @mrvitalis, those people you mentioned, what are they doing to take power?... It doesn't end with just being in a party, you have to be ambitious and fight for things; and this fight involves politicking, bribing, pallying, blackmailing, threatening etc. Nothing is given just like that. Everyone is hungry for something, you don't just expect to sit back and have everyone put aside their personal ambitions to leave what they're fighting for to you. Femi Gbaja for instance has been fighting for Speakership position since 2013 (when he was still minority leader) and he's been licking all the lickable asses to accomplish his ambition. If he's lucky to get the position now, you will say Igbos have been cheated? Of all the returning Igbo NASS members, how many of them have really lobbied or fought for these positions? If you go check now, you'll realise that even Emeka Nwajiuba hasn't gone around to secure the support of fellow Igbo lawmakers yet (not to talk of other tribe lawmakers), he probably just sits back and expects to be endorsed by everyone automatically, nke oji buru onye? You don't just sit and expect things to be 'given' to you; fight for it! And this is one thing Igbos don't do politically, we prefer to sit back and lament rather than playing dirty for things. |

pazienza: Really? So how much did SW contribute to PDP in 1999 when OBJ was made the president because presidency was zoned to SW on a principle of justice?
What were their contribution in 2011 when the speakership was zoned to them?
You are not making any point.
You don't reward a region in sharing of posts. You reward loyal party men from all parts of the country after an election.
It's unheard of, treating royal party men with disdain because their zone didn't vote en mass for you. In doing so, you subject the royal party men to ridicule before their kinsmen, because you would have proven that they were right in not voting for the party.
Whatever happened to your "Igbos shot themselves on the leg by not voting an APC senator" in 2015? "if Igbos had voted Ngige , he would have become the Senate President".  Wasn't the above the soap they were using to wash your hairs?  We were pointing out then that APC had Igbo APC house of representatives members, why had they not made them speakers or even deputy speakers in 2015, ? But you and your ilk will not listen.
Your next deceptive line if Igbos had voted massively for APC in 2019 would have been : " SE total votes were the smallest and not of same number as SW and North, therefore, they can't expect to have equity with the other regions".
You see, it's not very hard to keep finding excuses to cover up the sinister anti Igbo agenda of APC. PDP was a national party and right from 1999, every tribe and ethnicity was well represented in the PDP. You can't say that about the APC. And the last time I checked, when the APC was formed, it was open to everyone but the Igbo nation chose to lock itself out. Now if you follow my arguments here in this forum, I have always preached against the 'sense of entitlement' nonsense. You don't sit down, fold your arms and expect anything good to come to you all because you are complaining. Just like everyone else, you have to fight for whatever you think you deserve; you have to lobby, bribe, blackmail, pally and do whatever kind of politics that's necessary to get what you want. You don't just sit back and expect others to hustle, get the prize and then share it with you simply because you are who exactly? |
