senatordave1:
Its actually a lie or a simple truth over exaggerated.majority of apc senators are clearly with lawan and the highest that can support ndume if 15.he is not a likeable person especially with that boko haram.but if true miraculously,he will likely win.i prefer him to goje

which is ur source dat d senators want lawan... make dem allow dis guys elect dier pple goje lawan ndume are not even d best from dis guy's self...

mvem:
..was Ndume not indicted of sponsoring Boko Haram years ago

and yet apc gave him a ticket to senate if he is a senator he is qualified to be a senate president...let his colleagues decide dat de are d ones to vote dat day u or presidency and other party men won't vote...moreso it's an allegation which has not been proven yet

Quality20:
u ppl have chosen to be ignorant. So anything north is now hausa? Gombe and north east plus north central are not hausa states.. even kaduna isn't completely hausa

forget illiterate folks...who know nothing...d fact is d man is capable and e no better take im no go de mess around...Nigeria need serious education...gombe kaduna adamawa others get language...

tesppidd:
These APC guys are really foolish indeed.

They keep letting these PDP politicians play mind games on them.

When PDP were in power the party leadership always had a decision on who the SP and Speaker should be and they always had their way.

Why all of a sudden APC leadership want to do same and we hear manipulative and sentimental statements like;

"We will resist hijack of the legislature by Tinubu"
"Buhari should allow us choose our leaders"
"Hijack of the legislature by the Presidency"
"The legislature is independent"
"The legislature should be free of party imposition"


And then the very foolish APC members are falling for this blackmail and mind games from PDP.

Mumu people!

maybe u were not alive wen tambuwai became speaker against mukailat who was favored by pdp...2003 pdp wanted ekwerenmadu as senate president but nnamani won in a contest...so quiet no body here ll vote 109 senators and 360 rep members ll decide who govern dem in nass period

DemolaUnbias:
You said it all, their party manifesto is differ from yours, so let them decide what is going to be good to this nation, the current 8th assembly were not chosen and We all know the effects on Government and Nigerians

see wat delusion can cause even afta d voting proces was shown on TV u get mind say de were not chosen...ina na wa...

Phinity318:
Your opinions are quite valid plus this is a wake up call that Nigeria still has a long way to go in the football financial system. It's not a enough to set up a club without proper financial plans in place. What I raised was a general observation though, and No, I wasn't shouting. Lol.

check in saner climes wen som Madrid legends get issues madrid step in for dem Cos dem stand well...imagine if Rangers of enugu is a big franchise...yy shd we call govt...how about oder low individuals who are not popular like chukwu...a man lamented how his wife died before his eyes...in luth since doctors were on strike den...who go carry pple like dat matter for head...Nigeria need to have a functioning system...but no na to DE shout ipob afonja aboki pdp apc party supremacy...nass sabotage dis and dat....

Phinity318:
Apparently, this has nothing to do with life, lots of our folks back then who made lots of money didn't have a sound financial upbringing to make smart investment with their money. Rather money were spent on luxury, family, self and prolly women. Tell me how that person wouldn't get poor? Hmmm.

u guys shouting...wat he did with money...how much were players paid in his days compare to Now...even as eagles coach Wat was his salary and was it regular...til tomoro nff suspended chukwu...he was not sack...moreover in overseas d system makes it easy dat after playing u have something like pension to collect...i learnt ikpeba still collect such...this is reason we need to fix our system...today we run a football league wer most club are owned by govt...players have no contract...no plan to create a system for players to have pensions...so every player in Nigeria wanna travel out...it's well

[s][/s]

APC cannot the repeat the mistake last month. We will field Yahaya Bello, and Nobody will defeat him. We have learned from Sokoto, Abia and Benue.

This is Operation Show No Mercy. Bello doesn't even need an assistance to Win Kogi State. He is a fighter himself.

it's alright operation rubbish...u think na obj era be dis wey elections is brigandage abi...make we de see...

NgeneUkwenu:
Then you don't know Yayaha Bello. That man maybe incompetent, but he surely knows how to win election.

2 Senators from Zero for

7 House of Representatives for APC

23 House of Assembly members for the APC not even 1 for the PDP.

Forget that, if Ikpeazu, Otorm and Wike could win Election under this Useless INEC Chairman...Trust me the election will be a Walk over for Yayaha Bello.

May thunder fire anybody that Supported Otorm and Ikpeazu and wants Yahaya Bello to be voted out...

when dat time come we go know...abia benue is not kogi...lets allow kogi decides bello fate...sm of u said apc no fit lose oyo and e happen...kogi case is one ethnicity might work...bello is not from d majority tribe and from situations negative stories pass positive from his side...once pdp get a popular igala man dat might be d magic since ethnic politics na still Issue here... for bayelsa apc is on ground based on performance In d recent elections wining one senate seat rep seat and sm state house seats...it's gonna be tough hw pdp handles d primaries ll go a long way to determine hw e go be for dem...let d process be fair dats d koko

Neoteny:
See Plateau that almost voted in a sickly old man just to spite APC which they label as Islamic party.

who finally won don't be sick apc did well in plateau and North Central de have rights to dier demands but then let the nass members decides who lead them dee shd be elections since apc no wan do proper zoning...

so wase wan betray North Central to accept deputy speakership...its gud John dyegh is running for d position...i neva hear south east for any position or d apc pple for nass from south east na goats all of them be....apc sha we are watching them

iberrylee:
He said the truth about what PDP would have done, if you don't agree with him then argue with your destiny

and apc won 2015 elections...onilu is mad apc lost simple with instrument of coercion is he talking about...election is over let us rest...if apc is democratic like she claims why is nass elections a tug of War why are they trying to impose leaders on nass...why not allow everyone to contest freely and fairly...why hoodwinked gullible minds with d nonsense of party supremacy that's is not real in d ist place...

AndroBlaze:
The only place I agree with you is the "what a country" part where we have folks like you that cannot rise beyond primordial sentiments.

Now addressing some of the unfortunate things you said, from my understanding the NJC can not have more than 2 sitting SC justices at a time (in this case Onnoghen and Tanko). For this case none of them was involved as the dishonourable Onnoghen was suspended and Tanko did what Onnoghen was suppose to do by stepping aside and letting mostly his retired senior colleagues mull the petitions.

From the outside it does seem that most of the NJC might be majority Northern and probably majority muslim. However this did not stop them from reccomending when due Onnoghen to be CJN and the fact we now have a Christian/Southern tilted SC it is because these same "jihadists" reccommended every single SC justice you see on that bench. So are you able to see the stupidity of bringing religion and even ethnicity into this?

Now dealing with the Yaya Bello situation, he will fail unless he has any valid petition or court case against his state judge suspending him. Over and over again it has been shown that the Abia situation and Tanko's are not similar as a valid order suspending Onnoghen was shown to Tanko before he agreed to come in an "acting" capacity. Tanko said this and even the NJC recognised the superiority of the constitutionally recognised CCT when it comes to declaring assets by failing to make any prouncement on the trial.

But you knew all of this before, you and your likes just wanted me to repeat things you know but will never accept due to primordial sentiments you don't even attempt to overcome.

u see now it's only d cjn dats head of njc from supreme court justices...d cjn appoints about 19 members of d njc while those like president of court of appeal are members by virtue of their position...which ever way u luk at dis issue politics did more damage to it Dan necessary...just like how salami was ridiculed as president of court appeal during goodluck regime so also onnoghen has been ridiculed...let posterity be the judge anyway....i wont say much to it...

Jiang:
Them do themselves as well, if not, S.P go don belong to them, and akpabio dispite his flaws actually tries for his state & people. But them backstab d nigga

If you think this does not affect you, then you no get brain, cause the kind slot way S.P get when it comes to jobs openings like CBN, NDIC, FRSC, FORCE & federal agencies is almost 2-3 times that of regular senator


Those people suck at politics

u guys are living in fool paradise to think akpabio would have becom senate president moreover why ll akpabio decamp to apc...Wat was he looking for in pdp...akpabio committed political suicide simple and short u gauge d pulse of ur pple to take some critical decisions

AndroBlaze:
Very poor article with silly conclusions.

After failing to win the tribal war they have now turned it to a religious one , even after someone has just inadvertently shown that the Christians are more than the Muslims on the SC bench.

Why are people like this in this country?

the Supreme Court is different from the NJC...so wats ur fuss here...apart from cjn who heads d NJC how many of the Supreme Court justices are part of the NJC? maybe u can ansa dat...u left area wer d writer said d njc ll have to bow to bello request to have kogi judge removed since de decided to resort to political solution to dealing with onnoghen case...a precedent has been set already dat d executive can throw weighty allegations on d head of judiciary seek ex parte order remove and appoint another...de ve gone to validate tanko acting appointment without njc recommendation in d ist wen d same njc removed a judge in abia who was appointed without njc recommendation...well let's be watching anyway...it's the judiciary wahala...if d legislature like de shd also allowed outside forces dictate who leads them...what a country

IamD18:
This rubbish and devilish act is mostly common with Igbos.

Selling lands to travel, killing brother because of land, killing father because of land, burying juju to fight for land.

I just don't know why a grown man who should be struggling and hustling to survive and make his people proud will be depending on his father's land.

Spit! May we never birth a stupid, lazy and devilish son like this.

una don start with nonsense tribe calling...

kadaria amazes me to have lampoon yari and left out Buhari... Buhari commands d Armed Forces appoint d ig who deploy state police commissioners...when pple kip shouting let's review,rejig or restructure our system de say we are mad...if u call yari and leave out Buhari u are a blatant hypocrite simple...

MetaPhysical:
Please stop commenting on political matters until you have studied how goverment and parties in democracy operate. Im shocked to read the bold.

There is a contract in civil society and its between the powerless people and a powerful government. There is need to balance the relationship. Counter-balances are set up to act as voice of presence for people interest so the government does not oppress them. That counter-balance is what Legislature is. Thats why we call it People's House.

The Legislature is not just to police government, they are also to cooperate with government and make its social policies smooth and to author laws that will improve society and encourage its growth.

How do people choose who will represent them? There is risk. Those you hire to protect you could turn out to sabotage your interest and make delivery of good progress difficult and stunt growth. So the system introduces brokerage, or a safety-net to protect against saboteurs.


Partisan Parties are the brokers (Insurance, so to speak). The safety-net people have to ensure that representation is satisfactory. When people are not satisfied they change their brokers and vote a different party at next election.

This is why on ballot paper you voting the party...the true power broker!

I hope you understand the relationship now.


On opposition, I will let you do your own study and learn what it is. I cant feed everything to you. You will become a lazy youth.

u are so ignorant and I can't help u...u no reach to teach me...i read political science and understand wat nonsense u think wanna explain...let me make it clear party supremacy is rubbish in a presidential system...it work well In a parliamentary system...buhari can decide to appoint a non apc person in fact he can pick a pdp person if he feels dat person can do d job...d law is clear on hw nass leaders can emerge...de are voted by dier colleagues simple...d American system in dier law d vice president is senate president so in American Senate d party In majority in senate contest to have majority leader since d VP is senate president who only vote wen dee is a tie...it's bullshit for a sm few persons to hand pick nass leaders if it must be done d entire caucus must be carried along and agree...how can few pple be shouting nonsense party supremacy...up and down and trying to educate u u de tel say I no understand something...nna If dee is any body who needs education it's you who is uninformed...in America wen Pelosi became speaker d majority leader post was voted for Pelosi was rooting for a particular person but d guy lost and hell was not let lose...if u guys don't like democracy protest for a monarchy to be established so that d president can do Wat he likes....

MadamExcellency:
Your idea of party discipline in Nigeria is delusion.

APC can only threaten Lawmakers with lots of garbage of corruption.

APC is a party and not their constituency. PDP voted against third term. PDP impeached Patricia Ete, PDP override OBJ veto on NDDC and the Party didn't do anything.

Moreover, voting for parliamentary heads in 9th Assembly will be by secret ballot hence Oshemohle threat is inconsequential.

it's those who are uninformed dat swallow that nonsense called party supremacy...it work well only in parliamentary system...cos d party those in alliance form govt...in presidential dee is no official opposition so wats d nonsense of party supremacy...

StOla:
In a country that is not ethnically heterogeneous, we would have the challenge we face with zoning political offices.

A minority leader should by right become the Speaker once his party becomes the majority.

He who led in opposition, would continue leading when now the party in power.

But that is not practical in Nigeria for our own peculiar reasons.

it's merely conventional dats all...pple are quick to quote Pelosi case dee was no elections cos every member accepted her...but her successor was voted for despite her wanting the previous chief whip to take over but another person won by elections... to becom majority leader leader...if gbaja win majority votes den he become speaker if he loses den heaven shd not fall same for lawan...

see am na shebi naso dem mud sling onnoghen...makin him guilty even when d courts have not pronounced him guilty

DimFemmy:
You and ur entire family are very mad for all dis rubbish u just alter from ur stinky mouth... What stupid statement? Can't u think b4 typing.. Scallywag.

jonnyBee:
You should be spanked cos you don't leave there and don't know anything about that state. Private sector economy virtually collapse under him. He careless about the public except him and his family.

Calculating:

Basher8583:
Very true bro. However with regards to the other side of the world, I know a Dr that comited suicide because of a failed project that totally embarrased him and his entire research work. They can be real crazy at the other side too.

to that's what humanity can bring... the Society have a way of making us failure with certain parameters...in things fall apart unoka was seen as a failure cos he couldn't farm like his peers but with his flute to entertain pple I doubt if he would be a failure in dis present Age.... more so do we even care for each other again in dis Time...families are now strangers to themselves pple carry large burden alone and no one cares

DimFemmy:
Na your family dull.

u are very stupid if u can't discern a statement can't u ask...which bad I do to ask hw highest in a class of a subject which on normal scale pple shd get from 70 for those who work hard....in fact u are mad for dis reply wat nonsense

Basher8583:
If you know Mr Zubair very well like i do you will know that the man did not commit suicide. He was my project supervisor back when I was a student of his department.
Very strict man. The kind you wont want to catch you cheating in the exam hall (your own don finish be dat). No abeg Im sorry. He's straight to the books. He reminds me of Buhari alot. I sincerely felt sorry for myself when I found out he was to be my project supervisor. But after a close work relatiinship with him I latter found out who he realy was.
A very perfect gentle man though rather straight jacketed.
Very honest. He used to say: "if you work hard and do everything we learn here and more I will give you the maximum marks you require" and he was true to his words
He was too humble. Lived a simple life. Was not materialistic. Had no time for women, girls or booty.
Did not collect any gratification from anybody at all. Couldnt be bought over.
Finally he's a man that will never compromise or play politics so Im not suprised he has not too progresed in that department.
Nigerian factor demands you kiss ass to rise to the top. Its sad.
So if he resigned im sure it could be for want of not compromising at all and maintaining his stand which I know him for.
But for sucide. Nah! he is not an unstable man to think of such.
RIP my favourite lecturer.
Went to UI some time back to see him and appreciate him with financial gift but as usual he would refuse it. The man never changed. Very consistent fellow.
He will be missed. Adieu

his type are very rare...people like him survive well in the other side of d world not here...

tete7000:
Dr. Jeje and Zubair are not the same. Both taught me and I can tell you they are not the same. By the way Jeje is a Phd holder with a bad attitude, Zubair in terms of attitude is a better person. Always wonder why Zubair man didn't make it up through the ladder. He showed stint of brilliance and apart from Prof. Bamiro he is one of the exceptional lecturer I passed through in that university. All I was taught in algebra and differential equations by him remains ever green in my memory to date, but I know the way our systems are set up, it takes more than brilliance to rise. Ass-licking, eye service, etc earn more than hardwork.

Jeje taught me fluid mechanics and was such a bad lecturer, one I don't pray my children encounter. The result of that course for my set would not be released until the middle of the next season with so much pressure exerted on the man. He later became the HOD of the deparment where he served at a time and if not for the intervention of the senate of the school, he would have graduated less than half of more than 80 students. A very vindictive man who hates the idea that many students wanted to go away with 2.1

Once again, may the soul of Zubair rest in peace. If that man has been elsewhere, who knows he might have made it through... I wouldn't know what happen to him though, but from experience as a post-graduate student later in the same system, I know frustration abounds to kill the faint-hearted...

u don talk am finish this is why African society is backward...no one care about hard work any more dats yy dis days kids care less about education or going to school...when with a laptop and sm juju u can ride jeep...u go to d western world.. having a summa cum laude or ist class is a normal thing but here it's a miracle.... Nigeria has killed him...any one who knows chinwenzu and how he wrote the west and rest of us should find out how he got his PhD abroad...wat chiwenzu did dee wouldn't have been possible in Nigeria...may zubair rest in peace

DimFemmy:
I think I scored 51 back then 2006..and I was among those who scored highest.

so he himself was a sadist too...51 for mathematics na so una dull reach

is really true this guy was on a PhD for over 15 years if it's true why did he not try another school to get his PhD must it be UI ?? the sadism in our institution nawa...this is how Africans underdeveloped Africa no longer how Europe underdeveloped Africa
