Lawyers in the house should please come and explain the meaning and difference between federal offence and state offence.

Villagemeat:
But you saw the video. Hypocrite

Is there a video or even audio? Can you please post a link.

Mikehot:
When you say big wings hope you know that whoever pdp fields would still get the support of ss/se (so the so called big wigs don't do shlt)

In the west Yoruba Christians would majorly go to pdp while Yoruba Christians loyalty lie with apc (infact who are the pdp big wigs)

In the middle belt, votes are always splitting but the people use votes to make political statement when need be (e.g still voting Ortom after he decamped because of fulani herdsmen), alot of votes would go to pdp because of Fulani terrorists (so called big wigs don't decide that)

In the north they vote based on sentiment, they would not want to see a Christian rule over them because of their Islamic believe (big wigs don't have a say on that)

Bigs wigs are useless where they people want certain direction

Lol... How quickly you have forgotten that you need a lot of money and political influence to win an election in Nigeria. In the 2019 election, was Prof Moghalu not by all standards, a better candidate than Atiku? But yet, I doubt Moghalu even got up to 10,000 votes in the entire south east where Atiku got 7 figures; yet you think the influence and support of political bigwigs is useless in elections?

If the political big boys don't support a candidate, that candidate already has an impossible task to accomplish; such a candidate wouldn't even come close to clinching the PDP ticket.

bolaayenimo:
i bet you if PDP fields Adesina and APC fields Tinubu, Tinubu will win. Naija politics is a diff ball game from AfDB Presidency

That's not exactly true; if the PDP produces Adesina and the PDP bigwigs support him fully, there's no way APC can win. The only reason a Tinubu can win under such circumstances is because 90% of PDP cheiftains wouldn't support an Adesina even if he's their party flagbearer. They'd rather secretly support a Tinubu with hope of switching over when he wins.

Reason why Nigeria will continue to be a shithole, cos our brand of politics and politicians only make it possible for filthy individuals to be president.

Atiku, Tambuwal, Saraki? Why must it be the same old set of tainted individuals? Why can't PDP front fresh choices like Akinwumi Adesina or even Peter Obi as their candidate? Why must these political parties always leave Nigerians with useless choices?

The presidential spokesperson just said the militia men of his Fulani tribe would continue attacking and slaughtering Benue people until they and their governor succumb and release their lands to Fulani herders. Wow!

Centre about to collapse..

What exactly is Ortom waiting for before he arms his people legally or illegally? This isnt a time to keep talking to the press, Benue (and by extension, the rest of Nigeria) is already in a state of war brought to them by the Fulanis. How can you be waiting for your enemy to grant you permission to defend yourself?

What exactly is PUNCH reporting here? This is not Niger state.

fcbgotel:
Admin please kindly help me move this to front page


For a very long time now, the Honorable minister of Employment. Dr. Chris Ngige have not really been in the news in fact, it's been awhile since I've seen him make public outings.

Considering the level of insecurity in the East today, I think it's important he speaks out or don't he really care about his peoples?

Dear Nairalanders, Where is Dr. Chris Ngige??

At least 30 out of the 36 ministers in the country have been in hiding / hibernation mode for a while now. When last did you hear from fashola, amaechi, ogbonnaya onu, akpabio, rauf, etc?

Wittyduchess:
It has alot, because it would have been a case of crying more than the bereaved if you were a northerner, the same arewa that was so vocal during sasha crisis and staged pro sars protests have all gone deaf and dumb, even the ones on this forum have never opened any thread regarding the insecurity in their region. To see a Northerner showing concern on a thread like this will be nothing short of fake love.

Well, I'm from Imo state, but it doesnt matter where I'm from. From experience I know crisis like these always have a way of eventually affecting you regardless of where you are or where you're from.

Wittyduchess:
So they came back bombing churches after gathering enough amunitions, what is the difference between what you said and what the other person said?

You and I know boko haram is a religious war ,jihad to be precise. While we are still unclear about the motive of unknown gun men , I can assure you it won't be a jihad like bokoharam ,so you can rest easy.

The issue of bokoharam is beyond you and I, only the president ,the northern elites and their sponsors both national and international know what's up,stop racking your head on big issues.

By the way, are you a northerner?

Someone warned that bombing and attacking of police stations was exactly the way boko haram started. The lady I replied doubted it saying NO, boko haram started by bombing churches. All I did was to step in and correct the statement by saying "hey, they actually started their violence by attacking police station". Hope you see the difference now?

I'm not from the north, what does that have to do with this?

Ladycewhy:
Liar!

The internet is your friend; we dont need to argue about like kids. Your knowledge of recen history is flawed. The very first violent acts of Boko Haram was bombing police station after police station, releasing prisoners and stealing arms. This was circa July 2009. Afterwards, their leader Yusuf was captured in the afternoon on camera, and extrajudicially executed in the evening of same day (specifically on 30th July). After the killing of their leader, they disappeared for a while and when they resumed, they became ever more violent, bombing churches and all.

Ladycewhy:
May be you can remind us how boko haram started.So we can compare the both methods of operation.


Forget it let me just refresh your memory that [b]boko haram started with the bombing of churches ,then to schools. [/b]Let me also remind you that your political elites and their muslim followers all saw it as "doing the work of allah".Lets just say karma is still too kind to the north east,una never see anything.


Don't come here and change the narrative next time. Whatever is happening in the north east is still being pampered as boko haram members are "deradicalised" and treated better than their victims in idp camps.




And lastly ,you and I know you have nothing but pure undiluted hate for the entire South ,left for you we infidels can all burn, so stop all this famzing ,it doesn't suite you. And I also know you won't reply me with this moniker as you have an alternate you use in spreading your hate so you would rather use that one instead of compromising this one. nonsense and ingredients.

Boko Haram started with bombing of police stations. THat was the first ever violence attacks of boko haram, before they even made the news The first time bokoharam made the news as a violent group was in July 2009, and it was about an unknown Islamic sect attacking police formations.

domnwan:
you're very economical with the truth...... keep quiet to avoid making fool of your generation

That advice is best suited for you and your family.

Abagworo:
Are you from Imo State? Uzodinma has been rejected by everybody including his relatives. It is not because of political enemies but killing of people in Orlu his homeland which he admitted on TV. Go to Orlu and hear how people are oraying everyday for his death. He furthermore went to the oil producing areas with intimidation instead of being diplomatic closing down Isopadec, sacking and arresting youths of oil producing communities. All these wrong moves are his problem and with deaths involved it may be very difficult to resolve.

Has the Governor for example apologized to this traditional ruler?

https://punchng.com/policeman-who-forced-me-to-lie-down-and-pointed-his-gun-at-me-cant-do-that-to-yoruba-or-hausa-traditional-ruler-77-year-old-igbo-king/?amp

OdumegwuOjukwu:
Uzodinma victory cannot be compared to the Bayelsa's one. The guy in Bayelsa didn't come fourth in the election. Uzodinma enthronement by the Supreme court defies logic. And it's a glaring illegitimacy. So if you're talking about precedence, it's best you situated it properly. Uzodinma didn't win subtiantial votes to be declared Governor, that illegitimacy is part of the problem.

The rest of the issues arose from how he managed the initial problem. Or you're one of those who have reduced the military to policing thugs, using high handed approach? And you don't realize how problematic that would be, until now?

Fact of the matter is that Hope is hopelessly incapable of governing the state, because he's tactless, lacks diplomacy and legitimacy. As bad as Rocha's was in Imo State, he was able to keep the peace. Why can't Uzodinma?.

Uzodinma resignation will set a good precedence - don't foist leaders on the people.

Finally, I'm happy we've all agreed here that the sporadic shootings and mayhem in Imo state in the past few weeks is all just political. It has nothing to do with IPOB or Biafra or Fulanis or Igbos or Nigeria; it's all just an expression of anger against Uzodimma. That's the simple point I wanted to make.

OdumegwuOjukwu:
All the politicians are disgruntled, and many of them are criminal. All I'm saying is that rather than they burn down the state, Hope Uzodinma, who is currently unable to run the state should resign for peace to reign. This is especially the case since his position as governor cannot be explained by any meaningful logic. If he had problem with other politician in Imo State, he should settle it with them. For goodness sake, he's not the first politician that will have problem with other politician in Imo State, let alone in Nigeria. What is his security vote for? To buy Rolls Royce?

Don't forget also that he has blood on his hand. His invitation of the military against IPOB/ESN in the state is also part of the problem. Even if Imo State doesn't have herdsmen crisis, what is wrong in preparing? Wasn't the case that it is the unprepared state that are suffering? What exactly is Hope Uzodinma's contribution to Imo State security other than inviting military to terrorize the state? Uzodinma's action is the cause of insecurity in the state, directly or indirectly. Dude is just going about making enemies all over the places.

I repeat my call that Hope Uzodinma, the Ogboso 1 of Imo State should resign for peace to reign.

If he resigns, that would set a very dangerous precedence, not just in the south-east, but across Nigeria. What happens next will simply be, once politicians in a state dont like the governor, they pay masked thugs to go about unleashing anarchy across the state until the governor resigns. So I'm sorry, Uzodimma resigning isn't a solution to the current problem.

You said he invited military against ESN, but No, what he did was more like inviting the military against paid armed thugs who were already constituting a nuisance on behalf of disgruntled politicians in the state, and of course disguising under the mask of ESN to draw the sympathy of the people (that's all a scam, you're free to swallow it if you want). THe real ESN has been preparing and doing their thing in the shadows in other states, how come it's in Imo they suddenly started showing face publicly if they aren't doubling as political tools?

OdumegwuOjukwu:
The whole incident is sad and scary. Condolences to the bereaved. I hope it ends well and fair to all concerned.

But Hope Uzodinmna is not the face of democracy; if anything his coming to power is nothing but the opposite of democracy. Personally I think he should resign in the interest of the state. He should resign and leave the state to give some semblance of 'victory' to his so called enemy, and perhaps peace will return. I know politicians don't like resigning, but this is the most logical thing to do.

Isn't it better that one man (Hope Uzodinma) is sacrifice than for the whole state to be lost. Or is he going to rule with force; the military at his flanks, always, for next 3 years?

So because one of two disgruntled criminal politicians are unhappy with Uzodimma, they unleash violent thugs all over the state to go about shooting sporadically, killing security personnel and innocent people under the guise of ESN or Unknown Gunmen (UGM), and then your solution to the madness is for the governor to resign? Isnt that exactly what the sponsors of the mayhem in Imo want to happen? And if the governor resigns, hasn't that set a very unpleasant precedent for politicians to repeat same in other states?

I shake my head at the ignorance of the people applauding the nonsense going on in Imo, thinking it has anything to do with IPOb or Fulani herdsmen, whereas it's purely just anti-APC / anti-Uzodimma sentiments at play. Fulani herdsmen have attacked every other state of the south east, but there's not a single record of herdsmen attacks in Imo. How come the ESN or UGM that's meant to be fighting killer herdsmen has chosen a peaceful eventless Imo state as the epicentre of their activities?

Of course we wouldn't notice the flawed logic in these trends because sentimentally, we hate Uzodimma.

Tareq1105:
Of course, I don't expect you to see the obvious.

I'm actually lost, what exactly are you insinuating? That I'm blind or that I'm defending the man?

Felabrity:
watch the second section in the video at about 0:23, it seems Pantami religion is against shaking of women

I just told you I have watched it and there's nothing in that video that proves he deliberately moved to block the woman; he simply moved out of the way cos he was blocking Pmb. Let's agree to disagree, I see it differently.

Felabrity:
watch am well

I watched it very well; after shaking buhari, he simply moved out of the way for buhari to shake others. There's nothing in the video that shows the man 'deliberately' tried to block pmb from shaking the woman. THe man is an extremist but this video is absolute nonsense.

Video doesn't show anything.

Edusouls:
You don’t know how to swim u jumped into a river to save a girl, very sure u would not do that for a fellow man? At last girl was rescued, Nigger drowned, many Yoruba men are better simps..

There's no way he would have jumped in the water if he didnt know how to swim. But being able to swim isn't the same thing as being able to rescue a drowning person; rescuing a drowning person takes much more skill and experience, but so many people (even good swimmers) don't know this.

Originalsly:
Hmmm..... I guess he didn't know how to swim... hit something in the water and got knocked out... or got sucked down by under currents. People do spring into action in such situations without thinking of the dangers. R.I.P

AsherAmari:
What made him think he could do that without a safety vest or some safety kit? Huh.

Please, people should always think before acting. I know he meant well but he could have just waited for the rescue team to do their job which they eventually did. So sad.

May God give the parents the fortitude to bear the loss.

One thing I know for sure is, there's absolutely no way in the world he would have jumped into that river if he didnt know how to swim. But something a lot of people sadly do not know is that being able to swim is totally different from being able to save a drowning person. Saving a drowning person requires a whole different level of skill and experience.

This is actually a very sad story to hear, RIP to him.

obonujoker:
Are you smoking to glorify God, or to bring more people into God's kingdom?

Lol... If we must be practical and true to ourselves, then we must understand that not everything we do even as Christians must glorify God or bring people into the kingdom.

How exactly does eating meals in a nice restaurant, or watching football or movies, or going on holidays, or playing a game of tennis glorify God? Does that necessarily mean these things annoy God?

The only case against cigarettes is that it has the potential to harm our bodies when consumed in excess. God wouldn't exactly smile at us for harming ourselves intentionally.

aysuprano:
All those people had a contract with an organization at a point in time and none of them are begging on the streets now

I doubt if Mr spells can even handle a smart phone and I don't know of any endorsement or contract he got from anyone

His IG page was handled by some dude who gave him token and ignored him when he runs dry

So how is that a form of help??

Put these sentiments aside, business was conducted and he was paid for his services; no one really owes anyone anything.

The same way we go about with suits and ties looking for an employer to give us a job contract, do you then say the employer 'used and dumped' you after your contract expires? Were you not paid? Would it have been better to remain unemployed and unpaid?

You claim 'he wasnt helped', but No, when someone sees me hungry and gives me a job which pays me, albeit for just a while, that person has helped me. The person isnt my father and cant be expected to keep feeding me for life so we really need to toss these sentiments aside.

But do they owe him anything?

This Garba Shehu man is really a senseless slowpoke.

meobizy:
I guess exercise is out of the picture. Lazy woman.

If we check your own belly now, e go be like elephant. But you're quick to call someone else lazy.

catfrog10:
You see these creatures called black people, they are are very very useless. They don't have sense at all. How can someone with a right mind import cows?

Lol... this one has nothing to do with the blackman being unintelligent. The only unintelligent one here is YOU.

The least an educated person would do on hearing such news is to ask 'WHY' an act was done; that's how intelligent people learn. But instead you swiftly chose to insult yourself and your race out of ignorance.

jamiudinho:
don't b a hypocrite wen did a pastor jet became a govt military jet

Hypocrite? Are you sure you know the meaning of the word you just used? Several people have already explained to you on this thread why the govt had to use the plane of a private individual for that trip/ transaction, but obviously in your bigoted ways, just to fuel and justify your religious intolerance, you chose to believe the FG was arming the military to kill Muslims; that's all you and your folks could interpret from the fight against bokoharam because a Christian president.

Bokoharam members were obviously 'Muslim brothers' to you then cos they engaged mainly in bombing churches. I hope you and your brothers up north are happy with what bokoharam has become, murdering your people in thousands and rendering your region a wasteland. You've even added banditry to it to completely waste yourselves and you support these vampires at every opportunity cos some divisive cleric taught you to believe Christians are your problem.
