Oh.. You mean 20 senators? Hmmmm your eyes go soon clear, I remember saying in June that Sarakis case of over ambitious will be racist and that happen after 3 month. Mind you and I mean it, Saraki won't be the senate president to screen the minister as he will be impeach base on the case at hand and he will be render u fit as he as lots of cases to answer. Soon EFCC will come up to him. Mark my word.

So you mean, ministers will not be screened until after October 21 ?

adebisicutie:
Of course , he is a senate President so they can be sure he won't run away which is the whole point if bail.

Nothing changes the fact that he was thoroughly embarrassed today

Embarrassed how ? Is he bigger than the President of Kenya who was arraigned at the dock of International criminal court ?

Ilekeh:
Never support any politician. Let him answer to the court. If the court finds him guilty, let him pay for his crimes.

Unlike Igbos, Yorubas use the same hand they use to feed their children to apply punishment.

"He's our son, but if he misbehaves, he will be punished".

Igbos go say "he's our son, let's look the other way. No witch hunting".

Then purnish Tinubu. And purnish Fashola too.

Yeske2:
What's this one saying, so who do we blame for the missing billions that are supposed to be used in repairing our delapitated infrastructure now oil prices are down?
Are we supposed to forget it and just get back to work?
Make this guy respect himself o

If oil prices are down, use your brain and get more buyers so that you sell more oil to earn the same revenue you need. As a leader, he owes that to Nigeria. He should stop blaming GEJ because Nigerians already know and that is why they brought him to replace GEJ. Unless he is now saying that he can no longer drive the country.

heavenstorm:
You re not just mad but an accursed goat... Cos ur fada bought land frm a grand senile old fool that makes u an indigent? Answer me foolish ibo boy.... Mad grasshoppers... Useless vermins... Unredeemable parasites... It shall not be well with ur day nd night... To the useless hungry Yoruba idiots dat keep selling there accursed land shebi una Don see am now... Common ibo parasites doing bragadoccio over things u re not suppose to grant them at first...

The way and manner you abused and cursed that guy portrays the fact that you didn't understand his post. Your heart is filled with so much hatred that you were not patient to read and understand the guy but, went straight to abuse him because he is Ibo. You could not see that he gave witness to the fact that Lagos is not a no-mans land but, a Yoruba land.

Bros, take am easy o .

alaoeri:
Am very sure in 2years time, biafrans will all be shouting Sai Buhari except some unrepentant bigots & internet trolls.

Is it for visiting Enugu with the kind of trauma that Apapa residents go through because of trailers ?

mrvitalis:
Tonye... the fact that people actually praise ur analysis shows the level of decay in Nigerian educational system
Let me educate u a little bit
1) a minister is a mere representative of the president in that ministry
2) the president can pass his directives or give instructions based on his manifesto to any ministery WITH OR WITHOUT A MINISTER
3) ministers are only needed when the president wants to reduce the work load on him.... And if the president is not complaining..... I wonder y u should.. ....
..

My brother, do you really think because he has not complained he should be allowed to supervise all the ministries alone ? What about the constitutional provisions on ministers ? May be he should get the constitution amended first,to enable him work without ministers. learn to stand by the truth always.

Demdem:
Wike is a shameless liar. Buhari is probing the entire years Jonah-daft was in power. Wike restricted his probe to just 16 months.

Buhari chose to probe only Jonathan's administration despite wide request that he probes from 1999, Wike too has chosen to probe only the period he suspects infraction. Amaechi should have come to the panel to expose any other thing beyond the period if he deems it fit.

GlorifiedTunde:


Choi! Nigerians can expose ehn!

Lesson: when you have power and opportunity, do good.

There will always be times you'll need the help of those you rule.

If he was a good governor and well respected leader, there's nothing wrong in the taker of this picture in taking up the bills.

But all said, Nigerian leaders will never learn - until they're stripped of that power

And who told you that he needs you to take his bills ? Did this incidence happen today ? Have you heard anything like Akpabio was thrown out of his hotel room ? Or that Akpabio has been prosecuted for not paying his bills in UK? Or that he has been deported ? Keep deceiving yourself. Nigerians are always playing politics with everything .

walexzee11:
Our brothers from the East lack vision, This bridge will enslave them for 25yrs, Yet they see nothing wrong in the PPP.

I wonder how they will run their Biafra if they get it!
Cowards Left and Right!!

Cant you make a comment without insulting ? Be more matured and show no interest in matters that concern those you hate.

Tallesty1:
Bad belle people

Don't mind them. An expression can mean different things to different peeps. The advert is only portraying that you can sleep conveniently in the sky while flying air peace. It is that comfortable.

slimmyjimmy:
Tah . Na only eem b musician

just like soundcity is not the only tv station.

Jaideyone:
this guy needs to shut up. the presidency has never replied his press release but he keeps yapping like a deranged parrot.
is he the governor of Ekiti or the PDP publicity secretary?

let them deny any of his allegations naa !

kestolove95:
No b igbo boys?...useless people and dia love for money...d east is d most disgusting place to be with erosion everiwia and I ask...what's up we all d money dey ar hustlin for?

You have started hating. You have only heard one side of the story and you have given your judgement. That one Igbo boy used and dumped you does not mean that all Igbos are like that. Neither does it mean that guys from other tribes don't do the same. So , please manage your frustration well.

oluwaSmith1:
Can this tout, talkative and motor park agbiru keep his mouth shot?

Wailers will talk now that why should i have to call him names.

What you call him does not matter. What matters is that your people do not regard you as much as Ekiti people regard him. Do your people even know you ? You are insulting a governor when you cant even win your street chairman.

agarawu23:
When you decieve and betray ppl, you have no choice than to lose friends PDP the reigning champion is now left with few governors .

Nigeria needs to move forward, we can't remain stagnant like an abandoned water . PDP is a total waste to this Nation. APC aren't saint either but the difference is clear.

What are we looking for again? These are the looters who thinks Nigeria money is meant for them and their relatives alone. EFCC should line them up and forcefully ask them to declare their assets.

Gej the father of corruption and his followers are now planning to run away from Nigeria to avoid jail, But nobody will escape punishment from God if you loot funds that's meant for a whole nation.


Before you start quoting me,
You have nothing to use against me than to call me a failed Mr Nl . what else some tried to bring me down but they are just too little because I am a moving train

When you accuse PDP as a total waste, tell yourself the truth that more than half of those agents of waste are now in your APC. If you are sincere, you wont have anything to do with APC.

An2elect2:
stun Don't tell me you are so obsessed with that word you don't know when to use it

Anyway, anyone noticed how sanity is gradually returning to our politick ever since mama peaco and co were butted out?

Yes, to you sanity means DSS going to raid and ransack a state government house in a democracy. To you sanity means one man dishing out instructions, banning, threatening, disbursing the country's money as if he is running his family business. To you sanity means not having equitable representation in the executive arm of government to give all stakeholders a sense of belonging. to you sanity means creating division, hate, ill feelings and distrust amongst the citizens as a result of discrimination and lopsided appointments. It is ok with you now that Buhari is doing it, make sure it will be ok with you when another president maybe from the south or from another party does same.

Reski:
Igbo's have this hatred for anything or anybody that is not of igbo extraction. That is why the nickname Nigerian jews befits them perfectly.
Secondly even if Buhari gives all the ministerial slots to the southeast they will never support his goverment. Because their hatred is not born out of the fact that they want good governance or a better Nigeria or beleive in the same principle of federal character they are shouting about or the unity of Nigeria (hypocracy of the highest order).
Igbo's should play opposition. besides even if igbo's are not given a single top position heaven will not fall and buhari will be re-elected again in 2019 without their votes.
Igbo's are not the largest or the most important ethnic group in Nigeria. So trying to please them is for me is a waste of time. Let them wail cry or whatever infact even secede Nigeria will continue to succeed with or without them.

Are you for real ? So why did OBJ get more votes in Igboland than even Ojukwu ?
Stop hating, please !

HungerBAD:
IF only we knew that the entire world was watching us, we would have realised that it is too early to begin to derail the anti-graft war, which we all agreed upon a few months back.

This is the very nature of most wars – they start small like the proverbial madman’s fire, where he claims to have only struck a match here; but he knows nothing about the conflagration over there.

Except we act fast, the theatricals we see today are capable of many perhaps unintended consequences – our war against corruption is at risk; and our once-revered institution of the National Assembly may also be consumed.

At the higher echelon of our society, we see a grand design to start a scattered fight that will be raging in multiple fronts at the same time. The fight will be so scattered that it will become uncontrollable. The emerging scenario portends a frightening glimpse:

There is an alleged case of forgery of the Senate Rules against a section of the Senate leadership; The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is questioning Mrs. Toyin Saraki, wife of the Senate President, over some stupendous wealth accumulation when her husband was the Governor of Kwara State; Senator Godswill Akpabio is currently being investigated by the EFCC over allegation of corruption while he was the Governor of Akwa-Ibom State.

Like the case of engineering the engineer instead of his engine, a petition against the EFCC boss, Ibrahim Lamorde, over corruption charges suddenly lands in the Senate. A fast probe is ordered into the petition; in a manner suggestive of people running away from an approaching tsunami; the Senate Committee starts hearing the petition and in the meantime, the Committee walks due process on its head.

This has irked some of the Senators and there is a big division in the ranks of the Senators. Suddenly, there is now an unholy alliance between Senator Akpabio with his group of PDP Senate Caucus on the one hand, and the Senate APC Unity Forum, on the other. The alliance is against the Senate Committee probe on Lamorde. And so suddenly, too, we see another very unholy alliance between Lamorde and Akpabio. Both men are now on the same page and a possible plan here could be some horse-trading on the Nation’s fortunes.

Apart from the fact that the petition against Lamorde failed the test of due process, it was like spitting into the mouth of a man who was already intent on vomiting. Apparently, Akpabio saw a window of opportunity in the ensuing confusion and built a connection supportive of the old aphorism that an enemy’s enemy is a friend – all in a conspiracy against Nigeria! The foregoing narrative is what we call rumble in the jungle.

These are politicians who are yet to know that it is not always smart to be smart. Nigeria must act quickly to stop the looming embezzlement of public trust. None of our fights against corruption shall be lost to intrigues!
For a start, Lamorde must step aside immediately to allow for proper investigation of the petition against him.

Again, Lamorde has ostensibly outstayed his welcome in the EFCC, having held sway since 23 November 2011. The point has been reached where he might even be unable to answer the supplementary questions. For instance, was this the same man under whom the EFCC went to sleep during the Jonathan era only to engage the speed gear as soon as Buhari came in? History shows no mercy for duplicity. His continued stay in the EFCC would clearly be a hindrance.

We must quickly shop for a no-nonsense replacement for him. This replacement shall be someone who understands the nature of the war before us and work as such – We must kill corruption before it kills us!
The Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, should have known that a conflict of interest situation was waiting by the corner to ambush him – sitting in judgment over the case of the man in whose hands was the case of corruption against his wife?
We question the rationale behind the Senate constituting itself into a court of first instance in the fight against corruption.

Evidently, the accusations against Lamorde are weighty enough to warrant thorough investigations. This is a case in which the Chief Executive Officer, Panic Alert Security System, PASS, Dr. George Uboh, is alleging that Lamorde failed to remit over N2.051 trillion recovered by the anti-graft agency between 2004 and 2013 to the federation account. Uboh also speaks of the diversion of another sum of more than N1 trillion by the EFCC.

Uboh’s petition should be sent to where it rightly belongs – the EFCC, an EFCC without Lamorde. The undue haste with which the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions went into the matter bespeaks the Committee as acting out a script that had been written elsewhere. Still more ludicrous, and indeed nauseating, is the fact that a particular Senator who appeared more like a back-man, and stayed glued, to Mrs. Saraki during her visit to the EFCC is now in the frontline of Lamorde’s prosecution (or persecution?) in the “Senate court”.

Where is justice coming from?In the particular case of the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Akpabio, the EFCC is investigating him on series of petitions by the Abuja-based Law Firm of Leo Ekpenyong and Associates, alleging that while he was the Governor of Akwa-Ibom State, he abused his office by stealing public funds from which he built sprawling estates in many parts of the country.

In this apparent rumble in the jungle, nothing shall be left to chance. Every case must be religiously prosecuted!
Lest we forget, Uboh’s conclusion is instructive: “If I am right, arrest Lamorde; and if I am wrong arrest me”.

We are reminded that it is not a crime to render service to one’s fatherland. Those false alarmists out there whose stock-in-trade is to deliberately smear others who serve their people must also be adequately punished.

Under Buhari/APC government:80% appointment to the North,20% appointment to the South. 90% EFCC harassment to the South, 10% EFCC harassment to the North. CHANGE !!!!

raayah:
I personally don't mind dishing food for my husband but if I cannot do it because i'm busy. He should understand.

Men are not babies.
They should be able to plate their own food.
Its better because you will be able to access the amount of food you want instead of sending your wife up and down.

Since its marriage, communicate with your husband. Tell him you are not comfortable and suggest a better way of serving his food. I would suggest putting the food in a big dish while your husband serves himself from there.


It seems you already do this. You are doing all the housework and cooking meals for him and he is still asking for "complete service". I think you married a baby. If he is hungry, he will plate his food. I think there is a bigger issue in your marriage.

What could be more important than dishing your husband's meal for him ? Eeh ? Have you ever heard the saying that the closest route to a man's heart is through his stomach ? Ok, don't do it , until someone else begins to do it for you.

agarawu23:
Majority didn't vote for buhari because of his campaign promises.

We all know our politicians are liars and that will not stop as far as democracy is concerned in Nigeria.

PDP made promises too which they didn't fulfil.

Only God that can make a promise without failing you .

So, in essence there is NO CHANGE yet ?

jeremiah4321:
So again can't we handle dt iN Nigeria??

He and other injured people were taken to the National hospital for intensive care.
Remember that the accident happened on his way to the airport to catch an international flight. So he must have gone now for the same reason he wanted to go before the accident. Please calm down.

modelmike7:
Distractions everywhere. PMB has more better things to do than engaging you al waivers in words. Nigeria must be great again.

And to you,Nigeria being great means norther domination and inslavement of the south,right ?

seunmsg:
Too early for them to be running helter-skelter and holding clandestine meetings. Once investigations are concluded, each of them will be called to give account of their stewardship before a court of competent jurisdiction.

The wise ones among them better start preparing to return back what he/she looted so as to get a lenient plea bargain. Organising themselves into an association of ex ministers with the intention of fighting against the ongoing war on corruption is an effort in futility. Most Nigerians are with the president on his war on corruption.

Did I hear you say investigations are still on-going? Why then have they been adjudged guilty by you,APC and Buhari already?

joseph1832:
Venture Africa and Jobberman are just hyping Fidelity Bank for their own personal benefit. I see no reason what so ever why Fidelity will come tops above GTbank, Zenith and others.

This write up just gave us abstracts without pinpointing what graduate/executive trainees take home at the end of the month, their welfare packages, leave allowances, bonuses etc.

All VenTure African and Jobberman focused on was just abstracts in other to boost the reputation of Fidelity Bank. I'm even not surprised that a poster above me said she joined the bank just because of an advert she saw, imagine that, an advert Not that she was given quality service when she went their but because of an advert.

I want to believe that many Nigerians are not easily deceived by abstracts rather than real facts.

The award is not for the highest paying bank. it is for the best place to work in. These are two different things. In fidelity bank, the staff are not driven into early death because of target.

abu12:
[size=15pt]buhari shld forget about that bridge, because that 2nd niger bridge is a pet project for PDP, buhari shld focus on his campaign promise which is security, fight against corruption and job creation. He shld leave the bridge for pdp, so that they can use it to campaign by 2019 to south east people.

Baba never promise to build 2nd NB during his campaign [/size]

he didn't promise to build SNB yes, but the federal government is already building it so he doesn't have to stop it. Must we go back to the era of abandoned project? After all, he promised 5k per unemployed graduate, free food for students, $1 ==N=1,which one has he started? I didn't say achieved, mind you.

babadem2much:
This to me is a welcome development, cuz residents of that community are yet to be settled, the have to accertain the durability n cost. but ppl will complain bcuz they are in a hurry, but if it is completed in 6 months time n colapse with lives we will still complain

He should just go ahead and compensate the people, he doesn't have to stop the project. besides, they didn't say the people were not compensated, I heard not adequately compensated. Talking about integrity and quality of the bridge, for crying out loud this is a project that Julius Berger is not only executing but, also investing heavily in so who is deceiving who ? People can now see why most SE people wanted GEJ to continue instead of PMB.

experimentist:
Mr David Mark I hail oh, how market..

why you dey fear to enter the place? enter the place nor,no look uche face



I dedicate this FTC to all Buhari supporters, cheers.

He should be allowed to testify from his sit. He should be accorded personal recognition the nation's number 3 man for 8 years.

It is only in Nigeria that we don't respect our leaders.

Mbkite:
A new page! Everything started working since PMB took over. Am not saying he is the one making things to work but, all I know is that things are working better!
QED.

SAY a little truth and shame the devil. Give credit to whom it is due. It is GEJ auto policy that you are now enjoying. It is GEJ initiative and breakthrough which you still find difficult to acknowledge. May your glory never be denied and given to another person. Amen!

Joavid:
Some Nigerians are stupid funny. Look at them saying 'its his money, he can spend it as he likes' 'I don't care'

EFCC suppose touch light this guy.

Nigerians don't buy albums plus his music is wack. I can't remember the last time he was invited to perform at a show.

His record label is just a front cos there are no artist signed unto his label and if there is, they don't bring in much.

So, were and how does he make so much money?
The highest paid Nigerian musicians don't have so much as this guy - I know cos they all flaunt their stuffs.

The guy has been consistently busy performing at international shows across the world. He has touched almost the countries on the globe. Mind you he is paid in foreign currency for those shows. He also has a lot of sponsorship deals. MTN is one of them. Chill,God has blessed him. Just pray for yours.

Saraki is a british citizen by birth, he never swore allegiance to uk. Saraki is also a Nigerian by virtue of his parents being Nigerian citizens. So he never changed his citizenship at anytime. Nigerian law allows dual citizenship. In that form,there was no question like do you enjoy any other citizenship apart from Nigerian so, you cant actually accuse him of concealing his UK citizenship.

jcross19:
Bad belle everywhere!!!!!. If they should trace this organisation well , you will know they are have been bankrolled by one stupid opposition. If fashola has a clean record and the quality to hold the office then do needy.

Did you say the same thing when OKONJO IWEALA was accused? Let them investigate him first, and if he comes out clean then elevate him.
