Same agreement reached with Lagos Ibadan express way, please allow east to worry about it , tell Tinubu to scrap two toll gates in 1 local government in Lagos state

So because fashola put a toll gate in lagos, does that mean it is a right thing that should be replicated in the east?... Wake up from your slumber, not every issue should be approached from the angle of politics.

[size=13pt]Thank God the bridge is eventually being built... But forcing south-easterners to pay for the only federal project in the zone is nothing but man's inhumanity to man. In the end, after begging successive federal governments for this bridge for decades, the bridge is finally being built, but sadly by the south-easterners themselves (and not the FG).

Anyone who thinks this bridge is a gift from GEJ's FG must be a capital dumbo.[/size]

that means u were part of the committee that withdrew the 700million dollars or u r either an errand boy to the thieves that stole d money.

Put your sense to work bro... Adams may be a politician but he's not an iddiot to make a claim of which after the backlash, he still returned to insist on his earlier words. Someone somewhere must have done something fishy and covered up the crime under the guise of '2nd Niger bridge.' If Adams was a total iddiot in the manner he's being painted today, he wouldn't have risen to the level he has attained in his life.

Anyway, as a likely wailer, why should I even expect any of you to use your brains?

I'm not a Reno fan but I absolutely agree with him on this one. This is the absolute truth; Nigeria will continue to be a third world slum as long as we do not encourage merit.

No society moves forward by discouraging its hardworking and intelligent citizens. It is not a must that everyone must be educated or must work in an office. Those with the brains for education should be encouraged to go higher while those with the skills in nomadic herding should be encouraged and supported to do their trade properly.

Federal character and quota system has always been one of the biggest viruses destroying Nigeria.

[size=13pt]In as much as it was a terrible thing to say, they still spoke the truth.

And these jobless koprakpor social groups keep seeking relevance.... Can someone please remind me what ohaneze as a group has ever done for igbos?

Anybody/people can complain and moreover, competent individuals are found everyplace in Nigeria. It doesnt necessary have to emerge from the politicial circle. What matters is the reality on ground right now. And the reality is if Buhari appoint the South only the North will complain. So as a good president you avoid such by running an all inclusive government becos evry part of Nigeria has qualified men/women.

Time will sort this issue out, relax. If I was Buhari, I wouldn't also appoint people I dont know as my CoS, CSO, ADC etc.

The only error in Buhari's approach is that he has only appointed his inner caucus so far and therefore, when extrapolated, it looks like this is how all other appointments are going to be but I doubt that. If all ministers, heads of parastatals etc were appointed at once, I guess this problem wouldn't have come up. Go and check a little history, for all these 'inner' positions appointed so far by buhari, GEJ also appointed southerners whom he trusted into these positions. So please just relax until the bulk of appointments are made before further comments.

Here's a direct comparison of PMB vs. GEJ appointments for these set of appointments made by PMB.

fr3do:
you are a disgusting hypocrite!
What about men like Okorocha, Ngige, Amaechi, Ogbonnoya... Whose support for Buhari was criticized by their people, should they be left out?

Like I said, up to 5% of appointments have not been made, people like Rochas and Ngige understand this pretty well. So far, Buhari has only appointed his inner circle and it is only a dumbo that would appoint associates he isnt very close to into those 'inner circle' positions.

[size=13pt]That's sure a primary school certificate holder's comprehension ability.

When you take advantage of the free-secondary-school education in your state successfully let us know. We may then assist you to decide what best suit you; to go for technical training or to learn a vocation. From a cursory observation, you do better with using your hands and taking instructions than using your brain.

Someone is obviously describing himself in bold prints. You really need the advise you are trying to pass across; they were meant for your use and not for you to publish to others.

And some not-so-smart people have been celebrating and dancing naked at the market square over the silly rumour created by a silly wailers' blog (Trentonline.com). OF course the falsehood favoured their silly delusions, hence their excitement. Ndi ara!

The Oba-Okigwe federal road is virtually non-existent from Uga up to Okigwe. Maybe the government of an hausa man may eventually fix this road; God help us!

Na wa oo... missing aircraft kwa?

What did we not experience under PDP bikonu?

Kingspin:
So why the seat of the president or governor more source after. If the positions are d same. Logic and fact are nt the same. The North will also complain if they had 7 positions so far. 'Imagine it'

Something you need to understand, with the kind of rabid hate the south east showered towards buhari, it is only a foolish leader that would appoint people he doesnt trust into his inner circle. Oh yes, so far buhari has mainly appointed his inner circles. You can imagine people complaining of him appointing northerners as his personal ADC or chief security officer or even chief of staff or SGF and I wonder if they expect him to also apply federal character in those appointments. Even if you check all these positions filled in by PMB so far, GEJ equally appointed southerners to fill up most of these positions also. The only reason why it is a big deal and stands out is because PMB hasnt made the larger number of other appointments yet.

And finally, when all appointments are eventually made, only the foolish would expect PMB to share political appointments equally.

porka:
Must you people just defend anything that concerns your god so blindly? We already know you are in bondage, why all the efforts to show it every time?

Festus Keyamo was not Sylva's lawyer, he was the EFCC prosecutor in that case. He withdrew as the prosecutor to the EFCC prelude to the DPP's withdrawal of all the charges.

Fani-Kayode's case was diligently prosecuted and the court discharged and acquitted him.

Try reading, even if it's once in a year. You will be liberated.

I'm sorry bro, I am a very cheerful young man who is happy with how things are going presently. I am only irritated by the constant wailing of you wailers. About keyamo defending sylva, i was only giving a direct response to the warped assumptions of the person i quoted.

Body no be firewood

The man looks like someone who would be snoring loudly in his sleep.

[size=13pt]Logic 902

"All appointments are equal, no appointment is greater than the other."

"NNPC GMD is the greatest appointment"

- by Festus Keyamo (doctor of logic since 1813)[/size]

That is citing an example using the logic of the corrupt minded unreasonable wailers.

All appointments are equal but going by the senseless logic of the wailers, if any appointment is more juicy than the other, then an igbo man ironically has been given the greatest appointment so far.

Even a primary school pupil would have comprehended the simple explanation of Keyamo.

Wailers everywhere looking for 'juicy' appointments; going by typical Nigerian parlance, juicy appointment means a position where the appointee can steal a lot of money. Ndi oshi ndi ooooshi!

It still beats my imagination how after the rabid hate shown to Buhari by Igbos, there are still igbos who have the guts and are shameless to be asking buhari for 'juicy' position. Insteas of igbos to be fighting and scheming for developments such as fixed roads, quick completion of 2nd niger bridge with removal of toll gates, a functional seaport in the eastern region etc, we are here looking for 'juicy' appointments as if juicy appointments to any individual has ever helped a region in the past.

AustineE1:
Keyamo patronizing the government to see if he cld be considered for an appointment,since he has now perpetually lost out in being a (SAN)senior advocate of Nigeria for quiet some years now......i gave up on him when he defended Sylva,the corrupt ex-Governor of Bayelsa in court against charges of corruptn brought against him by EFCC.

Sylva being an APC chieftain got the charges against him dropped immediately PMB took over helm of affairs of Nigeria. I wonder if all these 'latter days saints' in APC,have moral justification to talk about intergrity and corruption. They can only mess around with gullible Nigerians who have choosen to develop selective amnesia.

Hahaha.. I knew one not-too-smart person must come up and say this trash. Everyone who says the absolute truth is either yoruba or he is looking for appointment; indirectly making it look like yorubas are the only reasonable and sensible people in nigeria. Going by your warped logic, I wonder if Keyamo was also searching for govt positions whrn he was busy opposing abacha and when he was thrown in kirikiri for years.

For the case of Sylva, you are asking why a lawyer should defend his client that has paid him money?.... very interesting! And then you say all charges against Timipre was dropped after buhari came in because he was in apc. Again, going by this your same warped logic jonathanian logic, all charges against FFK were also dropped probably because he was an alumnus of APC right?

The PDP, organised a debate, the APC were a no show. The PDP may have had issues, with APC's brand of politics, but except exchanging heated words, did nothing physical and extremist against them. If the shoe had been, on the other foot, PMB would not allow an opposition party the air to grow into a major stumbling block in its part to consolidating its control. And also, in 2019, if PMB suffers a defeat, we will see how, the Gandhi President will handle his loss and handover.
Also, Ochejosephs analysis of the asset declaration, was rather informative and well put together. If you didn't garner any knowledge from it, that's your problem. And Dunsman posted Barcanista's analysis of the President's asset declaration from his Facebook page on Nairaland.

Story story...Why should the PDP be the one organising debates and u expect APC to come?.... In 2011, a debate was organised by a NEUTRAL body and all other candidates but the PDP graced the event. Instead the PDP chose to go for a flimsy interview with dbanj when other candadates where slugging it out in a debate and then PdP later went for a solo debate with pre-programmed questions.

As for PDP allowing an opposition to thrive, that's another huge misconception. PDP did not ALLOW an opposition to thrive; rather, the opposition forced its way into the polity and with the huge backing they got from a large mass of Nigerians (including rich and powerful politicians from even the pdp), the PDP couldn't do much to stiffle them. I assure you, if the PDP had the powers to crush and eliminate the opposition then, they would have done so happily.

Finally, for you to even consider ochejoseph's analysis as "informative and well put together," that already says alot about your intellectual status, no offense.

This old man should shove his flimsy opinion up his asss and should stop irritating our ears with his worthless vituperations.

Where was he when Igbos were literally wishing buhari death?... and now he expects appointments into positions of his choosing. Only an idiotic leader would appoint his enemies or people he doesnt trust into his inner circle. So far, buhari has mainly appointed his inner circle.

After what happened prior to and after the elections, it baffles me that some Igbos still have the face and guts to be demanding for political appointment. The irony of it all is that the Igbos who even supported PMB are not making any noise about it (probably cos they were the intelligent ones anyway), but instead we have the hate and bile filled ones embarassing an entire tribe on a daily basis. Instead of our leaders to clamour and lobby for developmental projects in the SE, here we are, having these old men who call themselves Igbo leaders clamouring for appointments as if that has ever done any region any good.
Ndi oshi ndi oooshi!

And this thread is supposed to be different. A reclusive commentator opened a thread, simply to[b] celebrate the fact, that his most competitive rival is gone. This is archetypal of the APC. They are so afraid of competition and any sort of polemics, they screech and scream, till the rival pity's them and moves along. The PDP, on the other hand, relish competition and love to go head to head with opposition of any order. You guys need to get over your inferiority complex. Like seriously, its kinda sad[/b]

Dont even try to delude yourself that PDP loves competition, that is a bloody lie because the PDP I know cannot even face the tiniest competition. Since apc was formed, Jonathanians had always prayed and wished for the apc to vaporise and i kept stressing myself explaining to some Jonathanians why it was important and beneficial for the nation to have a powerful opposition.

On the other hand, the APC understands the need for a competing opposition. Without an opposition, apc becomes pdp instantly. Also, a number of apc sympathizers have repeatedly expressed their concerns over the exit of barcanista who seems to be the only pdp e-warrior on this forum with a brain. I cant forget in a hurry how disgusted I was with the okada man analysis by a guy called ochejoseph on the asset declaration of PMB/PYO, I personally couldnt help but wish we still had barcanista cos he was the only wailer whose analyses were worth spending a second on.

Without reading the comments, Im sure several idiotss are already here defending the militant. And the unfortunate irony is that the defenders of these militants will not even be Niger deltans but rather, some misguided morally depraved Igbos.

Idiotss from the fold of the wailers keep generating idiotic stories to suit their delusions... Amaechi never said any of this trash.

have you not heard that buhari has pardoned and reinstated police commissioner zakari bui. the officer who escorted the book haram terrorist to freedom from police custody?

You high this morning?.
Was it Premium times that invaded the government house or operatives of the department of state security,under whatever guise?.
Do allow an optimum booting of your brain before allowing your fingers run away with you.

Vexed and bitter souls attack anything attackable even under disjointed circumstances. Both of you, what have your comments got to do with the topic being disscussed?.. Are you lost?

The last time I checked, this thread was referring to a false report by premium times yesterday that arms were found but today, premium times corrects the story. I was only addressing a comment from a nairalander who blamed buhari for the error in reporting by PremiumTimes. Now how buhari's name got into this error by PTas is being lamented by you guys is a question only the gods can answer. The bitterness oozing from your souls will not allow you all to think logically and it's really a pity, you guys still have another 4 years (if not 8 ) to continue killing yourselves like this. Goodluck.

What is wrong with Tinubu making a case for someone that can bring value to the government ?

Like you've said, the man is a proven technocrat but when the media starts attaching Tinubu or Rochas' name to his CV, it politicises the issue and this could create unnecessary problems and hamper his chances.

Just like the case of Gbajabiamila, a man who was the highest ranking APC rep for years, the moment APC took over the house and it was only logical for Gbaja to be speaker, the media told us he was Tinubu's candidate and that ruined his chances. Without that statement that he was Tinubu's candidate, Gbaja would have been speaker today. I hope you get my point.

Buhari had better be called to order before he destroys this country!!!! First it was cache of arms,few hours later it is now dollars very soon it would become pounds!!! This man would destroy this country!!!I hope Buhari do not push the patience of easterners beyond the elastic limit!!! There is a limit to which anyone can endure!!!!

Is 'Buhari' the same thing as 'PremiumTimes'?... okoko!
