The problem in this country is simply ,our leaders are selfish , heartless ,greedy and wicked . They want to retain power by all means . HOW ON EARTH CAN ELEVEN,I MEAN 11 OUT OF OVER 31 MEMBERS ELECT A SPEAKER IN BAUCHI WHILE IN EDO STATE 9 OUT OF 24 . THE GOVERONS NO SEBI PLAY POLITICS ,THEY ONLY SHOWS THEY DESPERATE ,INSECURE AND IMMATURE POLITICALLY .THEY WANT TO CONTROL THE HOUSE BY ALL MEANS .

the same way d president annioted Candidates emerged in nass...moreover those numbers dee form quorum... de should continue in the house and use a two third majority to redress it or go to court

Has Festus Adedayo criticised PDP , Saraki and Atiku this year?

go and ask google apc urchin

respect80:
So I posted the topic without reading it?

Guess you didn't notice I was the OP

leave them they fail to understand that the Senate president is not for apc alone...he was even voted by both pdp and apc and I wonder the useless logic of they campaign for him as in how...were they d ones who convinced the lawmakers to vote lawan

seunmsg:
He was not neutral. He supported Atiku in the last election. It is only normal for those who toiled day and night to get Buhari re-elected to protest such appointments. After the last US election, Trump was very disposed to appointing Mitt Romney as Secretary of State but members of his transition committee stood strongly against the appointment because Romney never supported Trump. That is how it is everywhere in the world. Elected officials must bring on board to assist them only people who shared in their vision.

and trump didn't appoint some democrat to his government right??

Blainz:
He was never neutral,he chose side and should stand by that side

and he had worked with pdp nnamani and apc ajimobi.... no wonder we stink in tribalism in this country...even in the United States republican presidents appoints some democrat and democrat some republican also...
not many knew adedayo self I read his brilliant articles and didn't took notice of his name...until Now... those who drag him are myopic minds who want silly pathetic praise singers nothing more...no wonder you watch TV these days and shallow minds parade as analyst on TV

respect80:
So who is the Mtn and who is the Etisalat in this case?

The man was just being nailed for standing neutral. He already confirmed that he was given the appointment based on merit after an interview session with Lawan.

One thing I strongly believe is that APC has just succeeded in making him even more popular.

You can take this post to the bank as we await what the future holds for him...

Such a talented writer deserves more.

do they know anything...bringing useless logic of you cannot work for mtn and this etisalat... the man was Just doing his job as a critical journalist.... it's like when Man Utd wanted to employ mourinho and some folks were looking at his attitude and mourinho told them he his mourinho despite they told him to sign a behavioral attitude he refuse and still got the job....here is a man who has worked with pdp nnamani and apc ajimobi how is he partisan... it's a shame that lawan allowed some unscrupulous element to railroad him..like u said they have helped his image grow more

in saner climes a dominanted apc house should not worry a pdp led governor of bauchi but we play crude politics of bitterness and the likes...same way some fools were protesting appointment of senate president...nonsense

linearity:
Anyone have more insight into this?

Were the 18 outside locked or came late? If they were inside, it is obvious that they would have defeated the first election.

2-3rd is needed in the Senate to form a quorum, so, if 31 is the the total member count; and they are using the same quorum permutations ( most Nigeria legislative body do); then both elections are null and void....it’s an exercise in futility.

wrong it's 1/3 that's needed to form quorum na una go de shout party supremacy and una no sabi anything...the ist speaker is legitimate...the second is not...they should have gone to court...11 out of 31 members form quorum to sit and elect speaker

Jmk9292:
The executive should allow the legislature do their thing..... They keep imposing and wanting to impose rubber stamps..

if Buhari can favor some persons for nass leaders why should governors not do same too...

sparko1:
The process for impeaching a Governor of a State in Nigeria is contained in Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution. Read, I won't quote for you!

and it said its national assembly abi?? una no well

Which Rule is that the penalty retake rule was just made this year Even the french themselves are saying the Match was Rigged & embrasssing for them Here are few top comments on the FIFA video, Notice they're not Nigerians�� but other Europeans & french��Even on "The Man of Match video, All are saying it was the Ref that scored

man shut up...and sleep...u and dos guys opinion is useless

Andrewkinggg:
When you speak on Messi, speak it with respect and deference.
I see it is travesty that Ronaldo is put in the same pedestal as Messi. Messi is way way way ahead of Ronaldo.
It's a big insult to say Ronaldo is better because he had won 2 trophies with his national team forgetting trophies are team achievements. Portugal won the trophies and not Ronaldo. In those 2 finals Portugal played, Ronaldo fired blank, he was completely inefftctive on the field.

I'm going end this argument once and for all. Most of us has seen Okocha and Mikel Obi played. Okocha has played in the highest level of football with the national team but has failed to lift the continental nations cup whereas Mikel Obi has lifted the Nations Cup. My question is who is the greatest Nigerian Player between these two?

Let's know who knows their football.

see this one typing shit again...did okocha not win afcon 94.. and must everyone be skilful like okocha to play ball... Mikel for over a decade has done enough to rank as top ten Nigerian great of all time

GoTV:
In life you can't have it all. Life itself is full of up and down moments. As great as Ronaldo Delima who won many trophies with Brazil including World Cup, he couldn't win the Champions League which players like Daniel sturridge won recently despite playing for almighty Madrid filled with super stars. Jay Jay okocha as good as he was never won the African footballer of the year award which fringe players like Adebayor and El-hadji diouf won.


Many of you trolling messi's predicament with Argentina are doing so due to high expectations and unimaginable standards he sets for himself. He's a victim of his brilliance no doubt but never forget winning trophies is not exclusive to a player effort. Football is a team sport but i wonder why you all blame messi when he has been unfortunate to be with paper weight team mates. An injured Ronaldo won the Euro cup due to the fighting spirit of the Portuguese players (credit to Eder) after Ronaldo led them to finals with his goals. Same as the recent nations league which guedes delivered and Bernardo silva emerged best player.


Ronaldo is the arrow head of the Portuguese team no doubt but his team mates deliver when he's not in charge, unlike messi whose team mates are big names on paper but play terribly despite his efforts to inspire them to glory. Higuain missed 3 decisive one on one chances against Germany in 2014 finals before gotze scored, chances fringe players like guedes and Eder converted to win Ronaldo the international trophies you all troll about. Everything in Argentine football must not be delivered by messi. It's a games of 11 players so why place the burden on only messi as if Portugal fields only Ronaldo against other teams? When Elder and guedes scored to win the trophy when it mattered most, you guys ignore their efforts and give all praises to Ronaldo. When Argentina team plays badly even if defenders scored own goal all blame goes to messi. Haba guys, what level of hypocrisy?


This is not to defend or absorb messi of his involvement in the failure of the Argentine's team to win a major afterall he missed a penalty against chile in previous Copa finals, but i think we are too harsh on him with unreasonable criticisms.

I hope Majority of you guys criticizing him have achieved all you desire in life? I hope there is nothing again you which to achieve or conquer? Can you have it all in life? No. Even Atiku with all his billions stills dreams of being a president. You can't have it all. Ronaldo is fortunate to be in a team with winning mentality, unlike messi. Despite all Cristiano Ronaldo has won in his career, he would also wish to have a world cup medal which players like Giroud won without scoring a goal. There is always something left to chase and achieve. Despite all this challenges It doesn't dispute the fact that messi is indeed amongst the greatest players to play the game.


Had he naturalized to spain like diego Costa during their golden era of winning euros and world cup, this debate of who the greatest is would have been buried. Even if Argentina wins this year's copa America, you Ronaldo fans will still troll messi to win another international trophy to match Ronaldo's two. Nothing messi does will ever satisfy you people.


He's a victim of his brillance. Simple

you called a player who Marshalled Senegal to world cup quarter finals 2002 a fringe player... and yet you want people to buy the thrash you are selling here on Messi... so long some of you think Messi is ahead of Ronaldo this tiring argument ll continue... even if I think Messi has been unlucky to win an international trophy at least a copa America...cos the German deserve their 2014 trophy...but if u Argentina team should be blamed then Messi should share in it simple...and please diouf is no fringe player...even adebayor who qualified a tiny Togo to 2006 world scoring over 11 goals.... okocha lost African best to formidable stars...in fact the only African best okocha could have won is 1998 he lost to hadji of Morocco....

They can do more than just recommend, they can sack a governor, though its haven't happened in Nigeria before but the constitution empowers them to.

can you quote the section of the constitution that empower nass to recommend sack of a legitimate elected governor in Nigeria maybe we can learn...

helinues:
Unforgiven minds...

If he is credible enough for the post, why not allowed him to do his job.

Garba Shehu was once a critic of Buhari, infact he worked for Atiku for years.

Abati was a fierce critic of GEJ but he later became GEJ spokesman... many guys Rollin with PMB today Neva thought him good enough to be president the story is different now...even Aisha Buhari still critique her husband has that stop her from being his wife... abi some of this apc urchins wan talk say if a pdp gorverno give them work dem no go collect am.... the man is spokesman for senate president not apc simple

sparko1:
Are you saying the house can't recommend the suspension of the Local Government Chairmen? Because that will be your subjective opinion!

can national assembly recommend sack of state governors?? it's the constitution that empower these guys to act I blame

ibibiogrl:
even the french themselves are saying it was cheating from the penalty calls Infact the Whole World are calling it the MOST Rigged MATCH EVER! Watch the FIFA highlight on Youtube by clicking on the link on the bottom of this video

go and sleep abeg...against Ukraine for under 20 Var and that rule favor us...there is nothing like rigg here

sparko1:
Everything is Buhari with you guys, Oyo governor dismissed the Local government Chairman not up-to 48 hours of his swearing in (without consulting the house by the way, not that you noticed), but no problem, he (Kwara governor) gave reason (Misappropriation of funds), even went to the house and asked for their recommendations, remember the house comprises of both APC and PDP.

With this point I say shut the F up!

keep both governors are wrong no play side here reason why the NFIU bill is not yet uhuru to me

lmm4real:
But honesty is there any law that regulates their dress code. People are just too serious in the country.

e tire me oooo...we gloat over unserious thing...like how agege greetings to Buhari cause issue....there is no official dress code for parliamentarians.... in UK they mostly wear corporate...in Nigeria people dress traditional corporate etc so this is no news

nurez305:
Why is okocha not always recognised in African football

everyone can't be recognized at the Sam time

Rednaxelot:
In short, Samuel Eto’o has prevented JJ Okocha from being among these Ambassadors. If Eto’o hadn’t won the two AFTY ahead of Okocha, he would be considered

go sleep must de pick okocha...

kenzysmith:
shut up joor if u follow history u will kw our female national team ve not gone past d group stage since 20yrs ago let give this white coach 2more years when last did we won a match at the fifa world cup? Let ur hatred for the white not make u see hw we improve defensively.

same 20 years ago that an indigenous coach took us to the quarter finals and you are talking thrash here....

I can see you lack sense of decurom or u are stylishly stupid...ismala mabo a Nigerian took falcon to quarter finals of 1999 world cup...dennerby has done nothing and if we even make it to second round we will definitely be out since we might likely face USA or Germany...your comment is so shameful foreign coaches are overrated many times simple

naturecures:
well said. the same rubbish applies to Rohr at World can cup AGAINST Argentina.. see no NIGERIAN or black coach will sit back and take those pressures lst night without making at least one substitution in the lacking area. untill yesterday I never understood the true meaning of racism. this white guys should be fired. our coaches shoud sit tight upgrade themselves and stop their nonsense corrupt behaviours whenever they are opportuned.

have they not been doing well...keshi won afcon in 2013 took us to second round world cup... he was not given an improved contract...he was later disgraced from the national team...what was omagbemi offence after 2016 nations cup when it was even NFF who erred in owing our players...
we value anything foreign...see how much we pay rohr and dennerby and not as if we don't have those who can do the jobs...South Africa has an indigenous coach and she is doing well French,USA,germany,England,Japan,Norway all have indigenous coaches and a winner ll emerge from these teams...foreign coaches are overrated sometimes...
we have the likes of siasia,amuneke,amakpakabo,finidi etc who can do super eagles job with the Right templates...for falcons omagbemi, akide,nkwocha etc can do the job

Beverlyjean:
Leave all those stories on twitter...the ref and var team were absolutely correct... A Nigerian player was in the box as well when it was taken the second time... U guys dint complain when the under 20 team played Ukraine and got a penalty and when we missed, he was asked to play again cos the keepers feet were not on the line and he received a yellow card as well...

We just had a single plan to defend all thru and that was not a smart approach

your head de there..against Ukraine the rule favoured us at under 20... dem no see that one...i don't get the emotions here people are even calling the commentator who was fantastic bias same way some folks blasted kadaria Ahmed for doing her job during presidential interviews at elections

QuickStandard:
Oboy!!! .

This is serious.

The dude wearing only shots made me laugh.

Osho!!! How market

abi na but there is no wrong in wearing shorts to seating..since no uniform for the house

20Leave5:
I believe it was a quorum

so why did the rest not attend...naso some pple go somewhere when ekwerenmadu became DSP 2015 and they were blaming saraki

HabuD:
Its understandable how Nigerians got sentimental over the match and blamed ref, VAR etc, but u have to ask urself, with the kinda defensive set up were u expecting nigeria to get a result from a highly attacking side like france. Though i was somewhat impressed by their defence, i knew deep inside that it was only a matter of time before they slipped up and allowed france to take the advantage. Even when the nigerians had the chance to take the game to france they still preferred to go back and defend! Against a highly attacking team like france that also had home advantage?
Now on the goal, fact remains that the referee was faultless. There are rules to every game, and even the goal keeper was allegedly told the rule before the penalty was taken. If both feet are off the line u receive a yellow card and the penalty is retaken- thats the FIFA rule which was explained to the goalkeeper prior to the penalty. Truth is, no matter how sentimental the ref wud have wanted to be, she just had to be neutral and take that courageous decision. And that was a cleAR penalty btw.
And moreso, i even thought the ref was actually more favourable towards nigeria on the whole. The team got it all wrong in their first match against norway which they could have easily won if they put up a good defensive display like they did against France.
Please lets put sentiments aside, that team never looked like they were in for a fight against france, and going defensive against an attacking team who also has the home advantage was suicidal. There was no way they could have lasted the whole 90mins!

the only sensible comment I have read here...we really had no other plan then defending even if we would defend how about using the pace of our front guys oshola,ordega and oparanozie..
dennerby again showed foreign coaches are overrated...ngozi ebere had a yellow card from ist half and was always on the back foot a good coach would remove her for a fresh leg...if we were much discipline like this against Norway maybe we would have qualified and not wait for permutations now...for those crying ojoro continue

Excuzeme:
You are righ tin EVERYTHING you said but like most Nigerians (most Black People), we seem to ALWAYS MISS THE POINT!

- Why is it that when an African team is playing, we always have an ALL-WHITE officials? Why not have a mix of say 4 Whites and 3 Africans?
- Did anyone notice that the useless referee also reduced us to ten players even before the Penalty was taken?

Now, that is me, talking like a typical "Black man".

The truth that we miss is that Africam Players have developed skills and strngth but they faill to develop BRAIN (Smartness!)
-As the game was progressing to the 70th minute, l told my frineds that they shoudl watch as these referees would MANUFACTURE a goal for France....and so it happened
- Before that goal, our players were wasting chances and just kicking the ball upfront, at no particular player.
-Even the Right side defender could not make a proper throw-in, at that level.
- Our players were so sloppy that my mates were all urging that we just switch channel and watch something worthwhile because it was so annoying.
- France did not paly fantastic at all and we should have beaten them if we had players that are SMART and had SENSE! They were just too sluggish (like their Male under-20 failures!) and unserious. Just wasting the ball all the time.

We employ all these foreign coaches who dont really add much value to our team, at exhorbotant cost and instead of them to develop the "smartness" of our players through psychological mentoring (know what to do under various cricumstances), they just try to make them play like Europeans when it is obvious they dont have the mentality, style and speed of Europeans!

I atually think we should ensure we dont take all these illiterate players to a workd cup because it appears that EDUCATION plays avital role in the sucess of players and teams or otherwise, we shoudl employ Psychologist to help them mentally.
Football is not just about Skill and Strength, you have to PLAY SMART because White people will always be racist and conspiring against black players, always.

BTW: What and where are those bunch of Ediats who played the Male U-20 World Cup and that their Bribe-taking Coach who took a bunch of runts to the World Cup to disgrace Nigeria's image? I know they would have slipped quietly back into the country and disperse to enjoy their Dollars.

the only gud tin u type is smart plus how we rely on white dudes the rest are rubbish...
