Most of the comments here have their merits and demerits. It is a fact that thousands of present and former government officials have looted this country since independence and very few (less than 1%) of them have been brought to book.

This singular action of not being able to jail corrupt officials over the decades has largely led to the present value system we have in the country today. If you loot and can escape justice, many more people would strive to occupy those position knowing that when you loot you will almost always escape justice.

Now to the main matter at hand. PMB campaigned and is now claiming to fight corruption. This is a very good thing considering how successive govts just couldn't stomach enough political will as well as a genuine overhauling of the criminal justice system in order to achieve genuine fight against corruption. On paper PMB seems to be fighting corruption at least in some cases but when he looks the other way in some other very glaring cases he brings 'hypocrisy' into the entire campaign which is very unfortunate. This the reason why most youths from the SS and SE tend to defend their own because PMB and indeed most northern leaders hardly ever descend hard on looters from from the north but are quick to chase looters from the south. It's more annoying to theses youths that all looters got their loot directly or indirectly from the resources from the NIger Delta. Looters are looter and there is no reason to defend a looter but PMB should also beam his corrupt fight searchlight on the very many northern present and past govt officials who are/were fantastically corrupt.

ritualist .... after killing your last daughter you went to London to buy airport abi useless fool

BLACKdagger:
Hmmm ur last paragraph also shows how hypocritical and biased u are....
U are quick to use dat as a refrence but u didnt say suck wen they mocked igbos dat fulani heardsmen killed people in enugu without dem doing anything.
But when they killied 2women in owerri igbos killed them back.. it was the samr yorubas that came here to say ibos arr violent.

And as for ur other comments on u speaking from ur own experience and im speaking from mine experince so u can tell me im lying except u wana be unreasonable...
BRCOX I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHERE YORURA PARENTS TELL THEIR KIDS NOT TO GREET OTHRS EXPECIALLY IGBOS.

even where im living currently a small yoruba gal dat i gave years ahead in age that used to greet me with respect... suddlenly stopped greeting me wen she sees me... and u wont tell me nobody told her to do so.
STOP BEING BIASED

Agumbankembu:
Are u tired of waiting for him to sing the National anthem of Nigeria and say Inshallahu at the end?
Are you tired of saying "kuje and watery beans"?

Are you weary of mounting on your rusted brown roof and shouting "sentence him to death by hanging"?

Say one more nasty stuff, and i will plank your skull into bicycle seat mode.

eyeview:
I can bet u that there is no APC political office holder who has such sterling O'Level result. I challenge the person to come forward!
It's just so sad that the rule of law has been bastardised in Nigeria, if not, Buhari would be called to produce his waec result and failure to do that will automatically mean he would step down and jailed for violating the constitution of the nation. In a saner clime, Buhari should be in jail right now.

modestofynest:

cosmatika:
Hmmm, for the 1st tym Buhari is sending Osibande abroad. Dis goes to show that Bubu is really sick

dragonking3:
Shut up. You guys claimed that GEJ was responsible for dollar scarcity and recession Now we can see whose fault it is

dragonking3:
I thought that they said that GEJ was the cause of dollar scarcity? Meanwhile it was people under this Buhari era causing the forex manipulation and dollar scarcity.
GEJ has been vindicated once again

The constitution empowers the Senate to summon anyone in Nigeria and give a warrant of arrest. including the president. Sagay did not know the section he quoted.

88. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, each House of the National Assembly shall have power by resolution published in its journal or in the Official Gazette of the Government of the Federation to direct or cause to be directed investigation into -

(a) any matter or thing with respect to which it has power to make laws, and

(b) the conduct of affairs of any person, authority, ministry or government department charged, or intended to be charged, with the duty of or responsibility for -

(i) executing or administering laws enacted by National Assembly, and

(ii) disbursing or administering moneys appropriated or to be appropriated by the National Assembly.

(2) The powers conferred on the National Assembly under the provisions of this section are exercisable only for the purpose of enabling it to -

(a) make laws with respect to any matter within its legislative competence and correct any defects in existing laws; and

(b) expose corruption, inefficiency or waste in the execution or administration of laws within its legislative competence and in the disbursement or administration of funds appropriated by it.

89. (1) For the purposes of any investigation under section 88 of this Constitutional and subject to the provisions thereof, the Senate or the House of Representatives or a committee appointed in accordance with section 62 of this Constitution shall have power to -

Billyonaire:
This is an interesting time in Nigeria's democracy. What becomes of Nigeria, is solely dependent on the actions and in-actions of Nigeria's modern day Dictator, who I believed has fueled the amber of discord against the Legislative Arm of Government within his core Northern caucus aka cabal and the goings-on in their nocturnal meetings.

Is there any Nigerian by virtue of his position relative to his appointment by any of our Presidents, who has the effrontery to call The Senate, Childish and other derogatory names ?

I do not bother about the characters in the Senate, what bothers me is that each of those Senators, no matter how questionable their elections were, represent a people of each Constituency in this country. When one has so much confidence and power, because they 'know' this Buhari of a guy, and gather so much confidence to defy the orders of the Senate and even castigate that Upper Chamber, it makes me ponder if we are truly a democracy.

I think, we all need to put our bias aside and view this on a national periscope devoid of coloration of ethnicity, party-lines and religion.

We are bleeped, if we dont fix this growing impasse. Truth is, APC is gradually destroying our democratic institutions. No country has ever fought corruption successfully by personalizing democratic institutions.

We must learn to respect the Senate President and other Senators, not because of their personalities, but because of the Position they occupy.

We all know that Dino is more educated than Buhari, we also know that Bukola is more educated than Buhari, so there is a limit to what Buhari can achieve with his personal aggrandizement. Buhari has to be taught, to call his caucus to order. If their intention is to build Nigeria, then all Nigerians, including their personal enemies must be involved in nation building.

If this does not happen, I will personal step into the turf come 2019, and life will never be the same again.

eph123:
Heya, pele. The only way you guys can make a living is hawking yourselves to politicians What a pity.

Sorry, sensible people have actual careers offline and so can afford to blast any government the way they want, because their mouth and hands are not tied.

eph123:
No, why not make that 2050.

2023 is still too near now. Very smart indeed. Mschew.

By the way, not everyone is cheap like some, so don't get it twisted.

eph123:
Zombies and BMC crew, continue the quotes. You must work hard for that yeye peanut you are collecting, so continue quoting up and down.

DLondonboiy:
Shut it!
They pay you for your job online, they pay them to work offline...Do your job and shutup!

abes:
Don't be surprised if he asked you why PMB paid those SANs "professional bonus".

TippyTop:
If the result you posted was authentic why did Buhari hire 30 SANS to defend himself?

cstr151:
We are saying the same, mr man.
Your tinubu's clout is restricted to the south west. He has zero influence in the SS, SE and the north if we are to be honest.
He has the entire south-west in his pockets and that means yoruba mass vote for any northern consensus candidate who manages to bring tinubu onboard.
That is the only reason why he is tolerated by the north. His ability to whip south-western votes enmass plays into maintaining northern control of the polity. Ofcourse they would throw him a bone or two to keep him just satisfied.
If we can get an igbo leader that controls the SE like ojukwu and azikiwe did, your tinubu would become irrelevant very quickly or atleast not as important as he pretends to be. And that is what okorocha wants to do

sanpipita:
Every region in Nigeria shouts marginalization, unless you pretend to be deaf when other region shout theirs

sanpipita:
No Igbo is shouting marginalization, only self seeking politicians are doing that, by the way the Nigerian state marginalizes everyone unless you are part of the elite and powerful ones

mightyhazel:

jumpandpas:

jumpandpas:

ORIGI:
Babachir Lawal is still basking in the euphoria of grass cutting, you have defended him and continued with your padi padi governance style.

hatchy:
For sure,we all know that. The certificateless ignoramus dunce doesn't know jack,not to talk of operating a twitter handle.
The issue is that whatever your spokesman say on your behalf is exactly same as you saying it.

Never again shall we make such grave mistake of voting someone
who doesn't know his right from left.
Remove the clog in your eyes before removing other's.
Clueless dunce of a President.
