Video evidence is coming in from eyewitnesses about violence being perpetrated at parts of Lagos and Rivers aimed at disrupting Today’s elections...

Case of Lagos
Yesterday we witnessed bullion vans entering the residence of APC chieftain, Bola Tinubu. Today, there’s violence, ballot box snatching and burning, sporadic gunshots and thug action being witnessed in Igbo dominated areas of Lagos to intimidate voters and disrupt peaceful voting. Where were the security officials when these happened? Was anyone apprehended?


Case of Rivers
There are feelers that Rotimi Amaechi is behind the violence in Rivers state. His former ally, Magnus Abbe, has also substantiated these allegations. What’s Amaechi’s intention? Perhaps to disrupt the entire election so he can effectively use federal might on another day where security can be more available to him and his thugs. Also, when election is postponed due to violence and intimidation, many voters usually choose to stay home in order to stay safe.

We voted in 2015 for a better Nigeria, but Nigeria under Buhari only got worse. Hope our votes today will be resolute and effective

God bless Nigeria

just shut up if you don't know what to say. APC members are being killed in the villages of PDP strongmen in Rivers State and you are here spewing trash. Na so una go waka too for una endervours since truth has taking a flight from your mouth.

Alex Badeh killers have revealed how they plotted the death of the ex-Chief of Defence Staff, Abuja-Keffi Expressway.

Badeh was assassinated on December 18, 2018, along Abuja-Keffi Expressway by some gunmen on the way from his farm. Badeh’s driver was also shot and his friend, who was also in the vehicle, was kidnapped by the gang.

One of the five suspected killers of the ex-Chief of Defence Staff, Air Vice Marshal Alex Badeh, has revealed his role in the murder.

The suspect, 25-year-old Shuaibu Rabi, a native of Bade area of Kaduna State, said he got N25,000 out of the money they stole from the late Badeh’s car.

Detectives from the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) have revealed that the killers of the former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Vice-Marshal Alex Badeh, used a Dane gun.

The arrested suspects had confessed to killing the retired military officer in order to dispossess him of money he supposedly wanted to use to buy farmland in the Panda area of Nasarawa State.

Rabi, Yahaha, Maube, Aliyu Usman, aka Ciroma, and Ibrahim Abdulahi have been arrested by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team, in relation to the crime.

Confessing on how they planned the attack on Alex Badeh, Ciroma said:

“There was a day I went to meet a man called Maube, who lives in Kare, close to Panda area of Nasarawa State. He told me that there was a rich man who had a farm in his area and he would need some boys to rob the man. “I contacted one Shuiabu who I met in Gitata Market and told him about the plan and he got interested and brought in his brother, Yahaya. “I took their numbers, and three days later, Maube called me and said that the rich man was in his farm on that day, saying that I should call my boys. I called Shuiabu and told him that the man was on ground and Shuiabu brought two persons: Yahaya and Baso.

“They met me at Gitata and Maube called me and said that the rich man had left the farm and was driving through Panda Road. Maube took a motorcycle and followed the rich man behind while I and six others, namely Alhaji Lamido, Galma, Rabo, Shuiabu, Yahaya and Baso, waited for the man at Zomgo area of the state, close to Buratai’s farm. “Then Abdulahi, who was carrying Alhaji Maube on his bike, brought two guns to us and pointed the vehicle to us, and we came outside and waylaid it. “We had four Ak-47 rifles in that operation. I brought two Ak-47 rifles and a single-barrel Dane gun. I got one of the Ak-47 rifles from a friend known as Rontumi and another from Rugumi.

The Dane gun belongs to me, and we entered the road and blocked the man’s convoy. I don’t know who among us fired the shot that killed him because three persons fired. “I went to the man’s car, opened it and found money in it. I gave the money to Ibrahim Abdulahi and asked him to give the money to Maube. It was the next day that we knew that the person we killed was a four-star general. I don’t know the amount that was in that bag because it was with Maube.”

BREAKING NEWS:
Heavy shooting at Ukana West 2 as APC chieftains Nse Ntuen & Emmanuel Sunday Akpan escorted by soldiers cart away election materials. Corpers posted to work there are running for dear life and crying for help. The same team have already snatched materials at Ekpenyong Atai and Odoro Ikot. Where is the security promised these corpers and the materials?
Must Akpabio and his gang spill the blood of innocent people including corpers to win elections?

show evidence and stop calling names without proof.
the momen you mentioned akpabio you became a party tool. next time say it the way it is with video or pictorial evidence.

Pweezy:
Why risk so much for 25k, i doubt this story.

You need to be on the street to know what pple can do for as little as 1k.

some years back a friend experienced same in phc. he told the family the day he was coming to pay for the land but he did not tell any of hos friends he was going to pay for land. the owners of the land asked for cash so they can share accordingly. he was attacked and almost killed on hos way to the meeting venue. Tbh, the story sounds real.

hahn:
There is tribalism here too

Bro you just said the plain truth. Funny but true...

To be honest I do not see this as an instruction fron the govt. Nigeria is a totally rotten state. every office holder is corrupt. Do not be surprised to hear later that the pvc part of it is coming from one useless party man or even opposition member. you never can tell when it comes to Nigeria matter...

Jaqenhghar:
LMAO. An idler talkibg of time. SMH

You remain a hypocrite . you can live with that busy body.

Jaqenhghar:
See shithole reasoning. I bet you are the types who excuse robbery because the victim bought an expensive car. Or was flaunting his wealth. In your wisdom people shouldnt spend their money or be free to do what they want

hypocrite have little or no space for my time. useless animal look inward befor you point that leprosy finger at you dead vessel.

dominique:
That photographer must be a rapist or a potential rapist and must be arrested at once. Psychos like that must never be allowed to mingle with normal people

The way he said it was wrong but how come non of you condemn indecent dressing in our society.
indecent dressing is like someone who put money on his car dashboard with the windows down in a public place. the person that will eventually collect (or thief) the money may not even be an established thief. the whole tin get as e be if you say make we follow the matter reach ground. this has noting to do with self control pls.

daddytime:
Huh...

Some people with investment ideas sha...

How and why would Osaze think to situate a hotel as a retirement investment on Erediauwa or anywhere outside of the G.R.A in Benin.

Everyone needs to get financially literate. I did this course and forever glad I did.

The hotel is not a retirement investment. he built it and gave it to his relatives to manage and take care of themselves. it's a one story building with a very small car park. I have been there a few times. the place does not befit the status of osaze in any way.

tesppidd:
This issue has gone on and on and on.

Both men couldn't put pride aside and work for the party.

Abe is equally guilty.


I have not seen that politician in Rivers, and in Nigeria at large who doesn't try to impose his successor.

Wike and his supporters have mouth to talk and accuse Amaechi of imposition and godfatherism.

1.Last year's local government elections; Wike handpicked 99 percent of the chairmen in the 23 LGA's.

2.The 2019 PDP primaries for assembly, reps and senate; Wike handpicked 99 percent of the candidates contesting from next week.

3.By 2023 Wike will handpick his successor.

So Amaechi is not doing anything extraordinary.

Sometimes when consensus is done, the leader of the party most times has the biggest say.

What we now have is a Magnus Abe who now feels very big; as big as Amaechi. And cannot be dictated to.

Abe should be more humble in dealing with a man who is bigger than him politically.

APC has got 2 senators and some legislative seats and political appointments because Amaechi singlehandedly made it so.

Yes it is true that someone like Odilli made Amaechi and Amaechi cannot be seen haggling words with Odilli in the media.
This is between Abe, Wike and Amaechi; and in-between the 3 of them, they have benefited more from Amaechi in terms of political patronage.

Abe and Wike cannot fool everybody, they can only fool some.

We know the role that Wike played when the problem between Amaechi and Abe was just beginning with that very first judgement.

Your type is rare on this forum. nothing can be truer than the truth. too many overfed babies who know little or nothing about Rivers politics here. Thanks for this truth you wrote up there.

Sometimes blaming buhari for putting only his pple in position of trust become difficult with actions like this. inasmuch as I hate talking along tribal lines, u just can't fault me if I call the inec guy an igbo man who abused his position because of money...

Learn to read and understand before quoting me...

You are the one who did not understand what you read. you want to twist what he said out of context by all means. what the man said is clear. no need for argument.

Thumb printing has been going on in Abia govt house for days now. Infact it has been on in almost all the south south and south east states. while in the north, pple were offered 10k to thumb print for APC. I laugh sometimes when pple call one party a rigging party. reality is all man dey hold him stronghold.
card readers dey most govt houses as we speak. both APC and PDP. I an only say whoever wins has more genuine supporters in addition to rigging.
Las Las we nor need all this crap. this democracy is not working and will never work. I stand for military take over that will usher us into a true democracy. if you feel me say.

livelymatilda22:
Did you noticed that one of them asked for the exact month the election will be conducted?

If it was stated then that the election will be postponed after 6 days, why will be be asking for the exact month?


Like the guy said, he didn't doubt that he said the election will be postponed.. He is only concerned the the topic was edited to show "6 days"

This is a very clear statement. he said the election will be held after 6 days. this means 1 week after 16th of February which was the original date. if it was going to hold in another month he wouldn't have said after 6 days.

Buhari was right about the "Lazy Nigerian youths" comment.
God!!!. who do us dis thing. see dem jump into conclusion just like that.
I think the yoots supporting atiku are the real zombies if you ask me. How on earth can you believe such things. this is a very good reason why the "lazy yoot" tag can't go away in a hurry.

junnyjake:
Of course! And the more you look at it, the more pissed you get.

So, long as there are people benefiting from the effects of terrorism, we'd never see its end. The heavy budget allocation to security makes this succinctly clear.

Absolutely. ..

junnyjake:
Very apt bro!

The era of slavery really did a lot of irreversible damage to our pride and psyche in general. Else what can really explain our willful submission to those manipulative imperialists?

it's funny really. they sell us guns and tanks to kill ourselves and set up a court in the Hague to try us for war crimes. they set up the United Nations that is more interested in who heads a govt of a sovereign nation than one which will prevent the war from happening thru equity and justice.
ever wondered what this world will look like without war and terrorism? that's not what they want. they need a reason to remain relevant and continue in their master slave relationship. funny, really funny..

junnyjake:
Absolutely!!

I even suggested we have an atheist president, you could have imagined their reactions.

But, thinking about it, I don't think we have enough to repel foreign interference since we're at the moment indebted to them.

If it's in their interest that we practice democracy, I'm not sure we can withstand their pressure.

True talk bro.
It's a bit complicated really. I believe it's also in their best interest that we remain the way we are. Very selective and oppressive pple from the west. They condemn gaddafi for running an autocratic (stable) govt but embrace Saudi Arabia who does same, even worse. They want Asad out but pamper the likes of Paul biya to continue because he is their puppet. It's really complicated. Let's hope that with emerging power blocks like China and Russia, someone will rise someday and call their bluff. I stand with you on the atheist personality. Too much hypocrisy. ..

junnyjake:
You must have expunged this from my mind, whenever I tell people this, I'm seen as a devil.

With time it will start making sense to them. Let's wait and see how it will all pan out in a few years to come.
The decay is deep. We must tell ourselves the truth. We have passed the level were a written set of rules will straighten our paths. What we need now is someone who will deliberately and purposefully hold everyone to account for their actions and inactions. One who does not know tribe, religion and region. To move this nation forward we need a man that is blind to our pettiness and trivial disposition.

chosengocap:
The best candidates were this evening on # ThePeoplesDebate ,
but the truth remains that no matter how salutary, ambitious,
poignant, effulgent and clearcut your ideas may be, they are
unachievable with our present structure and with the 1999
constitution.
Even world's best leaders like Lee Kuan Yew, Barrack Obama
and Thomas Sankara put together, will fail woefully in Nigeria
with our current atavistic structure.
Nigeria has a structural problem which must be solved
structurally.
# Mycountry

For me., sometimes, I tend to give the constitution a breather. I think it's a people's thing. There's no constition that will change a civil servants penchant for corruption or restrain a vastly illiterate society from ass-licking a (thieving ) politician. Nigeria has passed that stage a long time ago. We are too divided in our opinions that as long as the constitution is written by a man we (lawyers and all) will find a way around it.
What we need at this point is self restrain and purposeful leadership.
By Self restraint, I mean telling ourselves the truth as a people. There's a big followership problem in this country. As for leadership, we must be careful what we wish for. I feel very strongly that no civilian (constitutional ) govt can navigate us out of this mess. We need a conservative dictator to set things in the right direction. One who will initiate a new pples constitution.
This may sound funny but, look closely and you will see the point in it.

gidgiddy:
If Apapa and Tin can Island pprts erre closed and everyone forced to use Calabar or Igweocha(Portharcourt) Yorubas would be screaming blue murder by now

It will interest you to note that 93% of the proceeds from those ports goes to the federal govt/fulani caliphate. Even if the ports are reversed down south , lagos will still serve the vast majority. The port at Onne (Igweocha) is up and running bit the igbos expecially, prefer lagos.

Nwodosis:
It may be among the Atiku's idea of restructuring, let's join hand and vote him in.

Who controls the Onne port today?
You think atiku will share that with anyone?
Just wait and see how he, Atiku , will hide under the cloak of bureaucracy as a reason for not achieving restructuring. Even the confab by JEG couldn't see light of day talk less of atiku who maybe faced with an opposition NASS.

Hmmmmmm..
Will vote for the dictator cos that's what we need at this point in time. A thief will just carry everything wey we get and even kill us join if we try to stop am.

Odili went comatose after his 8 years rule. Amaechi has tried to be relevant after his 8 years. Wike on the other hand is calling Cole an errand boy. Let's see if he, Wike , will not support his successor (errand boy) to take over from him. He should also watch out for the banana peel Odili and amaechi stepped on after office.

98% of posters above did not read the body of the news. No wonder buhari said naija yoots are ....

Nonsense and ingredient. ..
Since the bribery (lobby) of the Americans by atiku I hardly believe whatever comes from that part of the world. If the Americans mean well for us why serve us with a different spoon . You can't say we are corrupt on one hand and same time say pardon the accused with that same mouth. Haba.... set a standard and abide by it since una think say na only una sabi something.

senatordave1:
That is why i still maintain that Amechi is far better than wike.let me see how atiku will clear rivers votes

The whole thing is so bad at the moment. Amaechi towers higher than wike in all aspects. No need to compare .

One cold Heneiken for u

Correct bobos. I collect the Heneiken fast fast.

paddyofboss:
Igbenedions lineage ain't supposed to say anything when it comes to.standing on a beam balance of truth and integrity, after Lucky n his people finished Edo state . I wonder why sane Nigerians still vote that man's lineage into public office Esama also tried to be Oba by claiming to be king of Benin empire in the UK. Yet this one is laffing at lifeless Buhari for claiming to be Mr Integrity. Both Buhari, Atiku, and all of you supporting the scum of society are mad

Abeg tell them my brother. Osasu is the daughter of Lucky Igbinedion. Every idiot go just dey open their mouth anyhow. In a sane society, this foolish girl for dey go visit her parents for prison every weekend. As for bubu and atiku , na Same one chance . Nothing will change.

A few days ago an Agofure bus was attacked, Driver killed and passengers abducted. Now this. Truth be told, Wike dismantled all the security apparatus amaechi put in place for reasons best known to him. It's on record that amaechi chased these criminals down into the creeks and Rivers State became peaceful. If you lived in rivers state during that period you should know what am talking about.
