That Ahmed Joda decided not to ridicule the PDP transition team by saying what he said did not mean Lai was wrong. If anything, his claim has since been proved to be correct. You surely know that the presidency shifted the earlier date that was announced to submit handover documents to Joda's team. Also, PMB on many occasions has voiced out his frustrations at the delay in handing over the documents. The most recent being on Independence Day address to the nation.


Up till now, PDP has not provided evidence that Daura is a card carrying member of APC. Yes, he was close to APC amd served in a committee, but calling someone a card carrying member has to be proved beyond PDP's propaganda.


I don't know much about this and I am not in a position to search for the facts now.


What is your point here? Two opposing parties tried to outdo one another in claiming credit for collective success is pure politics. He didn't tell a lie neither was there any propaganda here. That he chose to reckon with Lagos State govts efforts more than whatever efforts the FG claimed to have made is not a crime neither is it a lie/propaganda.


More Nigerians respect and appreciate the quality Lai Muhammed is made of. He speaks with facts and he is very eloquent and as such will be taken serious. He is eminently qualified to speak on behalf of Nigeria and sincere and not-too-partisan citizens will be happy he will be our minister of information.

I've always ignored all those people who keep lamenting that Lai is a liar, I ignore their statements because I know too well these guys are just drowning men/women impulsively making these pronouncements out of sheer frustration.

The only reason Mr Lai is hated is because of his ferrocious use of words and logic to dismantle his opponents; his words cut life a knife through the hearts of the Jonathanian sympathisers and when they totally lack a reasonable argument to counter his points, they simply just respond by screaming 'liar.' Ask them today to mention one of these lies, all they do is blab around and then end up screaming 'liar' again.

I know him, i even worship in the same church with him(st joseph chaplaincy imsu) Anthony Anwuka is a common criminal, so after finishing Imo state with his inlaw he thinks he can do same to Nigeria... let's see how it goes all i know is that nothing good can come out of ROCHAS OKOROCHA

To set that record straight, He damned the consequences and joined the movement to kick out the most shamelessly corrupt and incompetent administration Nigeria has ever produced thereby saving Nigeria from an economic abyss. Posterity will forever judge him fairly for this singular act irrespective of what some of his myopic kinsmen think or wish for him.

Adesiji77:
As Nigerians earnestly await the announcement of the remaining 15 names on President Muhammadu Buhari’s second batch of ministerial list, Vanguard gathered that below are the names contained in the list submitted to Senate President Bukola Saraki, earlier today.

See names:

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/10/professors-two-time-senator-others-make-buharis-ministerial-list/

Odimegwu and Anwuka are from the same Imo state. I wonder how this will scale through when you consider our federal character mess.

Sai Putin...

azzima:
The other day,it was Ebonyi governor, yesterday it was Stella Odua, today it's madam "One Chance".They are falling back in line one by one. Ibos just dont understand the word "loyalty". Gej is now understanding how transient life is. The drummers are packing their equipments small small to go to the new celebrant 's house. Sad!!

Sorry, this is a case of people applying common sense. It has nothing to do with loyalty to anyone, besides, a true patriot should primarily be loyal to country and not to any funny hat wearing individual.

NOI has just subtly hinted her regrets for having to work in one of the most shamelessly corrupt regimes in the world.

DTaj:
One daftie wrote that he could not see any technocrat on Buhari's ministerial list and I responded that he must have been either ignorant, daft, plain stupid, or one of the bandwagon members of the 'Jonathan Sympathizers Association of Nigeria (JSAN) who have lost their meal tickets since May 29 2015!!!

See technocrats o...

1. Prof. Isaac Adewole, professor of obstetrics and gynaecology, and immediate past VC of University of Ibadan

19. Osita Okechukwu, successful lawyer and former spokesman of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, CNPP.; man who has been very consistent as opposition person all through the years.

These are the 19 I can recollect now (out of 36 names) and some daftie claimed there is no technocrat on the list!!!

How hate for Buhari and his region will so devour some people’s soul!!! Lord, please save some people's souls!

Festus odimegwu and tony anwuka are both from the same imo state. I doubt they would both make it. Though there are lots of other agencies and government parastatals that they can still be made to head. Ministers are not the only FG appointment.

Mogidi:
I didn't see Oby Ezekwesili's name there, what happened?
[size=15pt]ROFLMAO!![/size]

Oby and Tinubu seems to be the two biggest losers in the fight for ministerial appointments.

and ur small brain is 100% sure that oby is searching for a post?... She isnt even a member of the apc but your small brains have assumed everyone who speaks the truth against GEJ MUST be apc.

DMerciful:
Lagos-Ibadan press 400,000 barrels ko 200,000double barrel ni

Are you sure you can read?

owobokiri:
Stretching your emergency analogy further.., Deizianni is not a thief.., Jonathan is not a thief, Oduah is not a thief etc.., so why were you marabouts up in arms yelling for change

Of course they are not thieves too until proven guilty by a competent court of law. But why are you carrying placards all over the place protesting the investigation of these people?... It is only an investigation and not imprisonment but your continuous defence opposition to a 'mere' investigation of these people sends a clear message, you know in your heart that these your heroes are guilty as charged.

owobokiri:
You appoint Amechi, Fasola, Fayemi and co ministers and then look me in the face to talk of some funny fights against corruption? This must be the most hypocritical government in the history of this country..

Keep your opinion to yourself please.. You never wanted the fight against corruption in the first place so please tell us why any right thinking person should take your opinion on this matter seriously?

DMerciful:
So you believe that crap of loosing 400,000 barrels per day to oil theft? So are many barrels are we loosing now? One of the biggest problem of Nigeria is how easy the electorates can be deceived. Try research on Lagos-Ibadan press and thank me later

I suppose you shoud also ask me a question like "so you believe muhamadu buhari is the president of nigeria?"

Just in case you were living in a cave all these while without any access to outside information, the 400,000 barrel/day figure was raised by nnpc, GEJ, diezani an okonjo iweala themselves. Shell, the biggest multi national in Nigeria had to close down their entire western division operations (delta state axis) because of this staggering figure.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been indicted for the sudden death of the former Governor of Bayelsa State Diepreye Alamieyeseigha which occurred on Saturday 10, 2015.

The Governor of Ekiti State Ayodele Fayose while reacting to the ex-Governor’s death insisted the Buhari-led Federal Government finally succeeded in hounding an Ijaw leader to death just because of his staunch stance on the upcoming Bayelsa State governorship election...

Jesus Christ!... there's nothing we wouldnt see/hear of in politics. Please what wonders has Kachikwu achieved so far in 2 months that's making PDP to claim him as an achievement?

This PDP spokesman is a peculiar case of cluelessness. PDP has really raised plenty people

QuotaSystem:
It might be the norm over there to only care for yourself, besides [size=13pt]they seem to have been so drunk with the notion of producing the first minority President that they didn't notice his glaring incompetence[/size].... coupled with the 'awa son' syndrome.

Didn't one jobless dolt build him a statue in the same town?

I think the RED part of your statement was the real situation.

There is nothing wrong with Amaechi being the ND minister. Anyone who's angry with that can do the needful by jumping in front of GEJ trains. If they don't like him as a minister for ND affairs, they wouldnt also like him even if he's made the minister for FCT. Besides, the ND Affairs ministry is a federal ministry and not a state or zonal ministry so it shouldn't be the business of the wailers in Rivers state who the FG decides to appoint. The people of the zone who are angry with Amaechi should stick with their governors and legislators who they elected.

We, the Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB), under the leadership of Nnamdi
Kanu, are compelled to call for a total
boycott of British-Nigeria [size=13pt]and her
murderous president Muhammadu Buhari[/size]
because British-Nigeria is a rogue terrorist
state that tramples on every conceivable
human rights, particularly, the rights of the
beleaguered people of Biafra and IPOB—
the organization of Biafrans agitating for
freedom from the wicked British-Nigeria
contraption and edifice of genocide.

[size=13pt]Buhari is an avowed Islamist, genocidist,
tribalist, and unabashed Boko Haramist.
Buhari is terrorizing Biafrans[/size]—an
indigenous people forced against their wish
to remain in British-Nigeria—because they
are exercising their United Nations Rights
of Indigenous Peoples to self-
determination. [size=13pt]He has been killing,
terrorizing, and mounting roadblocks;
abducting, beating, shooting and
incarcerating unarmed Biafrans[/size] who are
peaceably agitating to be free from
marginalization and genocide; thus,
breaking International Law and violating
the United Nations Charter on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples of which British-Nigeria
is a co-signatory.

[size=13pt]Buhari has committed genocide, war crimes,
and crimes against humanity and ought not
to be embraced by other world leaders. He
should be at International Criminal Court
(ICC) and not at United Nations. We call on
the civilized nations of the world to
Boycott President Muhammadu Buhari and
British-Nigeria before it is too late. Thank
you.[/size]

...And these IPOB clowns keep making it more and more obvious that all they do is purely an expression of anger against Buhari for daring to win GEJ in an election. With all the personal attacks and derogatory names they label Buhari, it has become even audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that these clowns are nothing but disgruntled riff-raff Jonathan supporters who are still so bitter even more than 6 months after the election

Submitting a petition to the UN with such derogatory words just to express displeasure at Buhari for daring to win an election, and yet these clowns expect any reasonable international body to take them serious?.... It's just a shame that these guys keep dragging the name of the entire Igbo population in the mud.

How much is the budget of the Niger-Delta ministry?... I doubt Amaechi would even be able to make any impact in that ministry due to the meagre budget (I may be wrong about the budget). Between NDDC and the ND ministry, which has the higher funds?

Lebara no be nigerian company?

Choii... thiis is serious! The hustle is real, and no be today e start
Its all about the money finally, I wake up everyday running to my office to make money to feed. Same way every one else goes out there to do what they believe will give them more money. No wonder she dey only act good part for film without controversies She's still trying hard not to disconnect from her beginnings.

kingdompropty:
I am expecting the APC goon to invade this thread and nd try hard to defend their master.

This is part of what you get when you have a super clueless leader.

1. Sell of those refineries.

2. Unbundle the oil industry and act only as the oil police. DPR.

3. Look for other viable sources of energy.

A clueless leader right?

I can bet you that in the administration of all the past Nigerian leaders, including and especially during the reign of your hero GEJ, NNPC and the FG could not even account for how much they were losing. Yet you think they were 'clue-full' and this administration clueless?

Routine losses from oil theft alone in the last 5 years stood at a staggering 400,000 barrels per day (appx $40million per day). If you do the maths for a period of 8months, that amounts to approximately 1.9Trillion; and this is from crude theft alone, not even mentioning every other gaping financial holes the NNPC under other administrations were known for. Yet someone thinks they were 'clue-full' and this administration clueless?

What we have here is simply a leadership which for the first time in Nigeria's history, now infuses financial accountability and transparency in its dealings. For the first time, someone is now making efforts to estimate and publish the estimated losses from the inefficiency in the system.

A wise man knows the first step in solving a lingeting problem is to first define and quantify its extent. But unfortunately, someone who appears to be possessed with the spirit of non-discernment thinks this sort of approach is a sign of cluelessness?

Warri is presently an eyesore... I wept the last time I was in the town (last year).

God bless Kachikwu
God bless Buhari.

Glory be to God for also delivering Nigeria from the cancer of the last administration which nearly destroyed whatever is left of Nigeria.

I know some would wonder why I am referring to the last administration. ... but the fact is that I am very very sure that if Premium Times had raised this allegation against certain people in the NNPC in the last administration, some of our misguided brothers from the east would instantly swing into action by defending the accused even without bothering to allow investigations take place; of course in their twisted brains, they assumed every single allegation of corruption, irrespective of the person or office involved was a direct/indirect assault on the 'good' administration of GEJ.

Thank God sanity is gradually returning to the giant of africa. God really did a great thing for Nigeria on March 28th 2015.

Why do these charlatans keep embarrassing Igbos?

nzeobi:
Why is it that most of the people defending amaechi are not from rivers.

Just the same way all the people who criticise and wish Rochas death are actually not fro Imo.

OnReflection:
While I am not going out on limb to shore up Fashola's defence, it is important we acknowledge the emboldened statement in your post has not been proven.

What other prove do you want to confirm that a website developed with N78m or two borehole sunk with more than a hundred million naira are inflated?

What other prove do you need to know that the price of a bullet proof bmw bought for N125m per piece was inflated?

moyinoluwabun:
Good Morning everyone, I woke up this morning with the thought that Fashola was nominated as Minister, while some were against him, some other people supported him but what got me disappointed was that those who demanded for the sack of stella Oduah due to the then bullet proof car scandal were those supporting Fashola to become minister now. My question is, what's the difference between Fashola's website/borehole/car park scandal and stella Oduah's bullet proof car scandal? If you're of the thought that Fashola did a lot in lagos while he was governor would u now say stella did nothing when she was a minister?
My conclusion, let the hammer of anti-corruption hit anyone irrespective of political party that steal from our common wealth even if it's a penny.

http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2015/08/trending-fasholas-n78-3-million-website-scandal/

http://www.punchng.com/news/n255m-car-scandal-presidential-panel-indicts-oduah/

Both cases of inflated contracts are condemnable, however may I remind you that Fashola did his without breaking the law; Fashola got an approval from the state assembly so what he did might have been morally wrong but it wasnt illegal.

On the other hand, Oduah did not get the budget approval from the NASS for those cars but she still went ahead and bought them at a price which was eventually even above the price she presented to the NASS in the first instance which was even rejected. In summary, Oduah made illegal extra-budgetary expenses.

Hopefully, you now see the difference between both cases?... If Nigeria was a sane country, she should be in prison today.

Kaiii... but Oshiomole worwor shaa... original deworwor..
