Yes ignore mr. ODUMAKIN, he is accusing the incorrigible A.C.N and not the corruption laden PDP and GEJ.
When will this so called progressive stop this hypocrisy of "hollier than thou attitude?
A.C.N, CPC, PDP, MTN, GLO call it what ever you want are all corrupt as far as it is a political party in Nigeria.
Abi in congress PDP law makers earn more money than opposition law makers in their quest to bankrupt Nigeria with fat salaries and allowances?

Bunch of stinking hypocrites.
George Zimerman short and killed an unarmed black kid in cold blood and America pronouced him not guilty and citing self defence.
Insane society.

Unlimited hypocrisy by ACN, encouraging AMEACHI's anti party activity while a house of rep member will be punished by the same people with the same offence.
Mr. Yinker is indeed right.

ACN suspends Rep, 12 others for alleged anti-party activities
1 hour ago
• It’s a ruse, says victim

ECHOING the need for discipline, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Yewa-South Local Council Area of Ogun State has okayed the suspension of a member of the House of Representatives, representing Yewa South/Ipokia Federal Constituency, Abiodun Akinlade and 12 others, in the council area for alleged anti-party activities. 

  The affected persons were earlier suspended by their various wards.

A statement by secretary of the party in the local council, Mr. Sunday Areola, in Abeokuta Sunday indicated that Akinlade, the chairman of the party in Yewa-South Local Council, Yahya Idowu, Jelili Idowu, Amoke Haruna, Kamoru Hamsat, all from Owode Ward 1, were suspended.

  Others include: Chairman, Owode Ward 2, Yisa Asorowo; Chairman, Oke-Oda Ward, Atanda Ogundele; Vice Chairman, Oke-Odan Ward, Isaac Singbenu; Secretary, Oke-Odan Ward, Fatai Bamidele and woman leader in Oke-Odan Ward, among others .

  Though Akinlade could not be reached despite several efforts, Idowu described the decision as a “political coup de tat’’.

  He argued that the party leadership at the council level, which suspended them, did not go through due process and, therefore, its decision was null void.

  The statement read in part: “The meeting (that suspended them), which was attended by 79 members of the party, including the party’s leaders, elders and the executive members in Yewa-South Local Council, condemned the attitude of the affected members, which contravened the ethics and norms that are acceptable to the party and resolved unequivocally without prejudice to suspend them indefinitely”.

  It added: “The ACN leaders unanimously agreed to take this action to affirm the party’s supremacy over and above any person or group of persons and to maintain discipline in the party. The party thereafter mandated its Vice Chairman, Ayo Olanrewaju, to act as chairman henceforth. 

  “The affected persons, among others, were alleged to have secretly defected to the Labour Party (LP) in the state. In fact, Akinlade was alleged to be one of the four governorship aspirants of the LP in the 2015 polls”.

  Idowu insisted that he would continue to act as chairman of the party in the local council, saying: “Until a disciplinary committee invites us and listens to our side of the story, we will not talk”.

  He added: “It is a political coup de tat to remove me and Akinlade, they said we belong to LP but the question is: where are our LP cards? It is a gang up, we will be silent for now waiting for the state chairman Alhaji Tajudeen Bello to give direction on the purported suspension”.

Malaria vaccine ready in 2015, says WHO

1 hour ago
• Jonathan launches AU initiative on HIV/AIDS, Malaria, TB Monday

• Ethiopia hosts regional centre for diseases control

FROM the World Health Organisation (WHO) came cheering news at the weekend that finally a vaccine for malaria may just be three years away.

  The WHO said at the weekend that malaria vaccine trials are on-going on 11 sites across seven countries in Africa indicated remarkable progress, with signals that the world might have its first successful malaria vaccine by the year 2015.

  Experts say a malaria vaccine might offer the greatest hope of achieving significantly improved malaria control, particularly in Africa, where the ecological habitat is such that effective mosquito control has proved difficult or impossible to maintain.

  World Health Organisation’s Director in charge of Global Malaria Programme, Dr. Robert Newman broke this cheering news to The Guardian on the sidelines of the ongoing African Union Abuja + 12 Special Summit on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

  He stressed that there was no successful vaccine yet for malaria treatment, stressing that scientists have been on a search for a very long time.

  Newman said: “We should remember that most of the vaccines are against viruses bacteria. There are no vaccines as it is today for use against parasitic disease. There is a trial against malaria vaccine on-going in eleven sites in seven countries in Africa.    The name of that vaccine is RLTSS and preliminary results have shown efficacy in different age groups of anywhere and with 55 per cent efficiency in preventing malaria. If you think about the number of cases of malaria, the public health benefit of that could be amazing.

  “But, the trial is not finished yet. That trial will finish in having data available in 2014. WHO is therefore, tracking the progress very carefully. We have experts committed to this. There are people who are looking at this.”

  Executive Director of the Roll Back Malaria Partnership, Dr. Fatoumata Nafo-Traoré said at the Abuja+12 Special Summit at the weekend that malaria deaths in Africa were down by one-third, compared to year 2000. 

  “More than a million lives have been saved from malaria since year 2000, most of them among African children under five years of age,” she noted. 

  She went on: “But we cannot rest on our oars.  African countries continue to face many challenges, both financial and technical. To make rapid progress towards the 2015 malaria targets, we need to hit our enemy hard in its strongholds in sub-Saharan Africa while keeping up the fight elsewhere on the continent. 

  Meanwhile, in a renewed attempt to tackle Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)-related deaths in the country, President Goodluck Jonathan will today launch a new initiative on HIV infection and eradication.

  The President will reveal his strategic plans as he opens the Abuja+12 African Union special summit on AIDS, Tuberculosis, malaria and other infectious diseases, at the International Conference Centre (ICC), Abuja.

Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, at a pre-summit launch of Treatment 2015 Initiative by Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) yesterday, said this demonstrated government’s commitment to the fight against HIV/AIDS, adding the gesture is Jonathan administration’s zero tolerance on AIDS death and infection, and to leverage on success earlier recorded in the campaign. 

  In preparation for the new agenda, Chukwu noted that President had some day ago met with state governors, ministers, development partners and people living with HIV virus among other stakeholders to discuss his draft and have it fine-tuned.

  In related development, Ethiopia is offering to host a regional centre for diseases control and prevention, the first of its kind on a continental level.

  Ethiopian Health Minister, Tedros Ghebreyesus, said that the country would facilitate the establishment of an African Centre for Diseases Control and Prevention (African -CDC) or Health Commission for Africa under the umbrella of the African Union.

You can suppress the truth only for some time, but no matter how long the truth must come out.

For Ameachi and his supporters welcome to reality 101.
Thanks to Orji Uzor Kalu who started telling the truth.

There is no hope for Nigeria, and latter someone will tell me JONATHAN is nigeria's problem, let's remove him through a revolution.

Court Convicts Governor Sule Lamido’s Son For Money Laundering
Premium Times - 58 mins agoNATIONAL, NEWS

Aminu Sule Lamido, the 34-year old son of Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for money laundering, was Friday convicted by Justice Fatu Riman of the Federal High Court, Kano, and ordered to forfeit 25 per cent of the undeclared sum of $40,000.
But the governor’s son won’t be serving any jail term. He will walk free after forfeiture of the 25 per cent of the undeclared sum.
Aminu was arrested on December 11, 2012 at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport on his way to Egypt for failure to declare the $50,000 in his possession. He only declared $10,000 to the Nigerian Customs Service.
When he was arraigned before Justice Riman on Monday February 4, 2013, Aminu pleaded not guilty to the charge and was remanded in prison pending hearing of his application for bail.
The charge against the accused reads: “That you Aminu Sule Lamido on or about 11th day of December, 2012 at the Mallam Aminu International Airport, Kano within the Jurisdiction of the Federal High Court while transporting in cash, the sum of $50,000 (Fifty Thousand Dollars Only) from Nigeria to Cairo, Egypt, falsely declare to the Nigerian Customs the sum of $10,000 (Ten Thousand Dollars Only) instead of the said sum of $50,000 (Fifty Thousand Dollars Only) as required under Section 12 of the Foreign Exchange (Monitoring and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act Cap F34 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 and Section 2(3) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 2(5) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011”.
At the resumed hearing on February 5, 2013, Justice Riman granted the accused person bail in the sum of N8million and two sureties in like sum.
In the course of trial, which got underway April 19, 2013, the prosecution called four witnesses and tendered documents which were admitted as exhibits. One of its witnesses, Sanusi Ahmed who is an operative of the EFCC, told the court that the accused person only registered $10,000 in the Nigerian Customs Declaration Form only for a search to reveal that he had $50,000 on him. He identified the Customs Declaration Form when it was shown to him. The document was accepted by court as exhibit 1.
The two witnesses called by the defence are the Chief Press Secretary to the Jigawa State Governor, Umar Kyare and the wife of the accused, Samira Aminu Sule.
At the last adjourned date, July 9, the court reserved ruling for July 12, after the parties had closed their cases and adopted their written addresses.
In convicting the accused person, the trial court held that the defence had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.

This is the most irrelevant comment I have heard since this problem started.
When Lady Patricia Eteh, the former speaker of house of reps Was being unseated by Bankole and co it was not just a fight that broke out, but a law maker died from heart attack in the chambers, were was PENGASAN?
When the fuel subsidy crisis was hijacked by the so called "occupy Lagos" this jokers (PENGASAN) says they were going on total strike.
Then the "occupy your resources" started in the niger delter, we ask them to go on strike but never to come back to our oil fields, they simply chickened out.
Let the strike begin we are waiting.
Mophose.

Pls if you don't have any important thing to do around Town in PHC, keep off from there 4 now, there was a shoot out some mins ago @ Lagos Bus stop, yet to knw d reason 4 d shooting. Thank you.

Niger state governor Aliyu has told the whole world that he is ready to negotiate with GEJ, and some people in the south are still indifferent. Wish them luck sha, but hurricane GEJ will sweep every body from badagery to Maidugury come 2015.

Finally they are confessing that team GEJ can't be broken and they is no vacancy in ASO ROCK till 2019.
Aliyu has just told the whole world that he is supporting GEJ but his interest must be protected.
Please someone should send this good news to Ameachi.

Aliyu is a strong politician and trust me he is nursing a presidential ambition. So having done the 2015 political risk analysis he has realise that GEJ is unshakeable hence he is giving up and wisely buying or negotiating his way into the GEJ project 2015,
That will keep him politically relivant by 2019. Smart guy I must say.
So we are officially adding Niger state to GEJ states.

D last time na OBJ d lafam, now na GEJ, make d guy just forget politics and enjoy his loot.

But what still baffles me is why a government would freely enter into an agreement and at the end fail to honour it. Doesn't smack of responsibility at all! That this is not the first time it is happening simply annoys me! For how long shall we continue to toy with the future of our youths in such recklessly irresponsible manner?




ASSU made the said agreement and forced government to sign it through strike during YARADUA'S tenure. It is crazy asking for a whooping 93Billion yearly allowance. The moment the FG approve it the states uni will ask for same and Students will be the once to pay for ASSU greed.

Arrogance if you ask me.

At Demdem, calling a man that is smart enough to become the president of Nigeria retarded is the mother of all foolishness. Because even if you are given more 10 life-time you would hardly be an LGA councillor.
On topic, this is Abarti's office am sure he is still preparing his script.

Same way they ruined NTA. Poor pictures, poor sound etc. Hell I can't watch that station.

Front page tins.
This space is not for sale.

Now that Tonto dike is going to gel watin go hapen to Seun? Oger sorry oh na samuel I been want write, my keyboard no get delete key, sory sir.

Now dat TOnto Dike is going 2 gel wat will happen to Seon?
Ogar sorry oh, na samuel I been want write my keyboard no get delete key sir.

Now that Tonto Dike is going to gel what will happen to Seon?
Oga sorry oh, na Samule I been want write my keyboad no get delete oh.

You need to see the attacks I received some years ago when I wrote a thread on NL advising people to build houses instead of involving in unnecessary expenditure.
I realised many people have made up their minds to remain tenants irrespective of their incomes.
So I am not surprised at the nagative comments here.

Dear governor Ameachi, there is also a need for absolute local government autonomy in nigeria which you and your governor's forum have blocked.

You are such an opened hypocrite, now that you are feeling the heat you have suddenly turned a crusader for human right defence. The same human right you have been viola ting in rivers state unchallenged.
So is true even the rich cry.

Ameachi is confused. How can you tell the whole world that the police prevented rivers people including a senator from coming to pay you a courtesy visit? Find another lie sir.

Average song, but the last time I checked Dbanj says he left mo-hit to America so that he can make wolrd class songs to win grammy awards.
But all the songs he had been churning out including the mako sa with Fally Ipupa will hardly win him a nigerian award talk less of a grammy.

This is one reason why I like some Americans. They can do anything to acquire fame. The guy has practically thrown away all his family and every body he knows, and betrayed his country and has achieved his fame.

The whole world now knows EDWARD SNOWDEN.

So na only organising secretary them give Rochas?
God please let this be true and GEJ will just nail it.

I am highly disappointed with this Kelly Handsome dude. He kept repeating Nigeria is waiting for his album, Africa is waiting for his album. Below average.

Please time to dance to my wedding tone giving to me by the one and only P square called "personally"
