A greater thief than Atiku has not ɓeen ɓorn!
I enjoy it when I hear Nigerians say one politician is corupt, this other politician is not corupt..

According to Nigerian dictionary,(politics today CHOP I CHOP)' the word politician' means gang of thief's. It originated from the latin word

thugtitians I.e leaders of registered thief's and thugs. Havent you noticed that when they are conducting election it is no

difrence from when motor park thugs are conducting election it usually endup in blood letting

either polithugtiticians or motor parkticians .if you think they are not, try telling people like Wole Shoyika or, Emeka Ayonku

to join them and hear what these men will say(but if you are thinking of joining them don't go to them they will

discourage you.

Obasojo is my man any day like him or hate him he is character i love, not hypocrite.

I rember when Tinubu and our present head of state Buhari visited him at the beging of their campain

Buhari told Obasojo he was going to tackle corruption. Obasonjo replied "just go and do good job "We are not

saints you know this and stop this your talk about tackling corruption. Just go there and blame GEJ


Any time am around I would like to meet with falana a very respectable lawyer, what inform his opinion about

going to defend our president. for not producing his certificate.

I wish by now he could have been given a jucy appointment. after all, the promoters of the biggest

Scam of the century(BBG) were given jucy appoitment. people like Oby and falana will

never be given any position in this government because they belong to the group when you see something say something.

Corruption is the spice of life, if there is no corruption there will no politics and no polithievtians.

The way to go about this.is, join them, each time you make a very big kill come to the public and Blame the previous government.

Each time you come back from abroad where you have gone to invest your loot hold press conference at

The airport say there was wrought in GEJ government make sure you call his name. Finish it by saying Buhari

Is trying to fix it. never never say "The Government " but Buhari is trying to fix just the same way they do in most

banana republic. When you want to end your press meeting say Buhari is the only Nigerian that is not corupt

His body language speaks for themselve, then you round up by blaming GEJ. Before you leave the airport you will get fone call

inviting you for dinner. Being an ilitrate myself we all reason alike . If you see something say nothing. After all you are there for the loot.

And this government want to be seen as an incorruptible Government if am the head of state I will never appoint falana and obi in my

cabinet else I might end up serving Nigeria instead of serving my pocket

If falana and obi want to get job in this administration any time PDP or anybody accuses this administration

of corruption go to Court . your reward will come.sooner than you think.

If the army wants to wipe out that community they should employ option B. (Medical outreach )

the international community will not notice the genocide

The head of the medical outreach people will soon come out

to deny that nobody was killed and if you are claiming that somebody was shot show

the body (as the usual practice in SS\SE )

I will advice the army to employ medical outreach method since it is by force.

If it is a fishing community first give them fishing net or block making machine then invade their home

The Lagos State House of Assembly on Thursday passed the bill which makes the teaching of Yoruba language compulsory in schools in the state into law.



The passage of the bill was sequel to the bill successfully scaling through the third reading on the floor of the House.

The bill, among others, makes the teaching of Yoruba language compulsory in all schools in the state, both in private and public schools, by including it as a core subject at all levels.

State-owned tertiary institutions are also mandated by it to incorporate the use of the language as a course unit into their General Nigeria Studies (GNS).

The bill indicates a fine of N500,000 for a corporate offender while any shool in the state which fails to comply with the law faces closure and a fine of N250,000.



The bill was finally passed on Thursday with the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, ordering the Clerk of the House, Mr Azeez Sanni, to send a clean draft copy of the bill to the state Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode for his assent.

PoliticsRe: Jonathan Blasts APC Govt Again, Says APC Govt Full Of Lies by okenta2017:
Beress:
As the race for the office of the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, hots up, former President Goodluck Jonathan   again lashed out at the All Progressives Congress,  ‎APC led administration for running a government of lies and propaganda.

Speaking in Abuja yesterday while receiving in audience with one of the contenders to the Office of the National Chairman of the Party, Professor Tunde Adeniran and his campaign team, Jonathan declared that he made to say that the PDP did well from May 29, 1999, till May 29, 2015, when it handed over power to the APC, saying since then till date the APC Administration has done nothing for the nation.

He stated that since then the APC Administration has nothing to show as an achievement ‎ but rather It has been ruling through lies and deployment of hi-tech propaganda to cover up its misrules.

‎Jonathan who cited instances to back up his claim challenged the administration to a public over his submission

According to him, “PDP administration for 16 did well and will continue to do well but this administration has done nothing, the administration is full lies and propaganda.

“In the power sector we did well to revive it, a state governor cruised our government, saying that any serious government should be able to fix the power within six months, today APC has been power for how many years? Fortunately, the then governor is in the APC Government as a Minister.”

Jonathan, however, said that all hope was not lost as the PDP would go all out and put its house in order for it to return to power come 2019 since Nigerians have been able to see things for them on the differences between that APC and the PDP.

“With the rate at which people are coming around to associate with a Party that lost elections, it shows that the people still believe in the PDP, with the numbers and calibers  of the People coming out to vie for the seat of the National Chairman and offices of our Party, it shows that our Party still have another chance.”

He declared that for the Party to get it right and regained its lost glory, it would need a competent, reliable and courageous  National Chairman ‎who would then lead the Party to victory come 2019.

According to Jonathan, “the contest for the office of the National Chairman is very interesting, this is healthy competition, many of the aspirants have been coming here, this will allow the delegates to choose the best among then at the Convention.

“However, for the Party to make a headway, we need a National Chairman that will select credible and reliable candidates for various elective offices at the various level of governments from the Presidency to the Councilorship.

“We need a National Chairman who will be courageous enough to call the President to order if he wins the Presidency and the President is going astray, he must not be someone when the Party takes a position on ‎issues, he will change.

“We need a National Chairman who will rule the Party democratically and carry others along, in fact ‎, the National Chairman is the leader of the Party, it is not the way around.”

Jonathan disclosed that with his long interaction with Professor Adeniran and testimonies of other Party leaders, he possessed all it needed to lead the Party at this critical point of time and wished success in the race.

He, however, advised the Party members and the aspirants not to allow the Convention to cause another crisis in the Party, saying that the contest should be seen as a family affair.

In his remarks, Professor Adeniran Stated that initially he was not interested in the race but the need to rebuild and reposition of the Party ahead of the 2019 General elections prompted him to join the race.

Prof Adeniran Said that he would in the race to make that to regain it’s lost glory and give Nigerians the real dividends of democracy that have eluded then since the PDP lost power in 2015.

Speaking earlier, a member of the BOT of the Party, Prof Jerry Gana and the Director General of Tunde Adeniran Campaign Organisation, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gaban extolled the virtues ‎of Adeniran whom they described as the best man for the job based on his records of service both in the Party and public service.

PoliticsRe: I Am Disturbed By ISIS’ Support For Boko Haram - Buhari by okenta2017: 4:46am On Oct 20, 2017
AYLiveSHows:
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, October 19 admitted that he was disturbed and surprised by the claim made by members of Boko Haram sect about the support they have been receiving from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Vanguard reports that Buhari however said he was happy that his administration had been able to prove that it could contain the insurgents.

The statement by his senior special assistant on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, revealed that the president at a joint press conference he held with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey after their talks in Ankara.

“We were very surprised and disturbed by the claim made by Boko Haram on what they have been getting from ISIS. “We know we will be able to contain them and we have proven that we can do it. “We are very pleased that Turkey is in a position to assist us and has been strengthening our educational and health institutions,” Buhari reportedly said at the press conference.

According to the statement, the two leaders agreed to strengthen cooperation between the security agencies of both countries to counter terrorism. Buhari said he was ‘‘very pleased’’ that the defence ministers of both countries held extensive discussions on developing new strategies for counter-terrorism.

He said: “We are very pleased with the progress of the meeting so far and we are going to wait for the details of meetings between the two countries. “We will as a result of the meeting between the ministers and officials of both countries strengthen rapidly whatever their recommendations are.”

Commenting on the degradation of Boko Haram in Nigeria, the President said the improved security situation in the North East was an eloquent testimony to the efforts of his administration in combating terrorism since he came into office in May 2015 Buhari said the two leaders also discussed the prospects of increasing their bilateral trade, which has exceeded $779m in the first eight months of 2017.

“There are a lot of potentialities in terms of investments and a lot is being done in the educational and health sectors in Nigeria. “These will be strengthened and I assure you that Nigeria is prepared to accept Turkish business people to come and explore more of Nigeria’s potentialities,” the Nigerian leader said. In his remarks, Erdogan said Nigeria had great potentials and remains “a global actor in terms of economy, demographics and its peacekeeping records.”

He indicated that Turkey was interested in investing in Nigeria’s electricity, refineries and gas sectors, adding that increasing the flights between Turkey and Nigeria would further improve commercial and people-to-people relationships. On the fight against terrorism, the Turkish leader said: “There is no difference between Boko Haram, Fethullah Terrorist Organisation or Daesh , which have all killed, inflicted pain and hardship on innocent people.

All of these organisations are hordes of murderers that feed on the innocent people, and in the fight against terrorism, we will stand with our Nigerian friends, and we are ready to share our experience and provide all kinds of support. “We also expect the same cooperation from Nigeria in fighting against Fethullah that murdered 250 Turkish citizens last year.”

Yes. Bia Ikaa sounds so much like bia ukaa in Nnewi dialect. They both have the same meaning. I have also seen a picture of the Gabonese president as a child in the midst of other refugee biafran children flown into Gabon during the civil war. His igbo origin was also part of the political topic debated by the oposition during their last election. Sao tome and cote devoire also have a population of biafran children who can no longer trace their families in Nigeria.
During the civil war we tagged those children by making sure each of them carry an identity card however maybe they were removed at

point of entry. or those who adopted them, decided it was no longer relevant that was why the boy who said he was from Imo couldn't

say more than that .Each time I remember this I weep for them.

War teaches us great lesson it is a period you will know who are realiy your enemies . Because in peace time you will never know

who your real friends are. That a man harbours you and you thrive does not mean he loves you. Your responsibility

is to show appreciation. by keeping to the law of that land.and saying thank you but don't get carried way. The Igbo men you find today

are quite different from the Igbo men before the civil war.. The igbo of today are sell out, they dont love each other only love for

quick money which was not there before. During the days of GBOMOGBOMO the Igbo's never experienced it.because

there were no need for that because they were hard working and they believe everything should come

through hard work.. If you are an Israelite among nations you will begin to pedal carefully. After the civil war 20pounds, everybody

wanted the Igbo man to remain that way. No appointment no support from any tribe of Nigeria (political) untill Babangida

could have it no more. When IPOB was drawing that their stupid map, I knew either there was no member of their family

that fought in the civil war that will tell them what really happen behind the secene . or they are just raising fund.

If you want to succeed in any thing, be constructive in your demand don't insult whoever does not agree with you

make him understand that your view differs from his, don't insult a whole tribe because you don't know who among

that tribe, that working behind the secene for you . Do you no that Wolesoyinka is a Yoruba man but he was lockup during

the civil war for supporting Biafra.. I personally do not support IPOB but I became sympathetic to them

when they were tagged terrorist leaving the Fulani herdsmen. When I discover that people around me want to take over my

sweats should there be crises, I will begin to be careful in all that I do.

Follow the Fulani's you will learn a lot from them. You will see that killing and slaugthering will increase very

soon in Benue and Jos environ , this has nothing to do with grassing but to achieve what Zik could not allow

them do then, by installing Emir of Jos and makudi. They now controll the army. General Bello is to make

sure that is achieved. Benue/platue are not weak as every body might think. They are only getting carried away by the slogan "WE THE

NORTH"" , not knowing that they are like igbos in the mist of ALELUYA. In war of genocide you create false hope

of security for the people you want to attack by firing on air , creating an impression that the people

who are coming to attack are being attacked, lets go to bed. When they are off guard they will be attack.and the casualty will be

maximum.

When next such thing happen forget sleep that night and don't disclose anything to the army. We dont know

who will pass your location to the people who will make the killing.

Some of them who were living in payan before the civil war came back home after the civil. Could you believe it, most of them

came home with 'old News paper nothing more.' some of them could not trace their village because the land mark

'Trees' used in identifying their family house has all gone, many of them left when they were young.
