I doubt. he is just incompetent...

PMB is cunning... but he is not intelligent or smart enough to grasp the rudiments of governance.

hence his resort to crude tactics better suited for the Victorian era, which includes having a retinue of praise singers who sing his praises even when they know that things are going astray...

How he holds the nation spellbound with his subtlety is still a mystery.

kingpersia:
Thank God every secrete thief in this country will be expose, all those who hide behind walls and rubish others will also be rubbished, and in 2019 every hidden corrupted and evil minded men will be trampled upon.

Is this fantasy or reality?

ivandragon:
simply shows PMB has no clue what is going on in his inner circle much less the wider view.

Very true. Seems to be an old trait.

Hiploko:
your case has no remedy because it is powered by religion

I don't think it's about religion. The guy simply lacks conscience.

DropShot:
Guy, why are you trying to avoid being quoted? Only cowards do that.

Common sense dictates that the Senate should prove beyond doubt that Magu is corrupt by releasing the purported security report of DSS relied on to reject his nomination.

Firstly, it's the duty of the DSS to send the said report to the president been an agency under direct supervision and control of the executive. Secondly, publishing the report on the pages of newspapers or through other means will amount to media trial which EFCC itself is been accused of. The Senate has promised to send the report directly to the president.

There is separation of power in democracy
The president can't meddle in the affairs of the house

One wonders if you really take time to digest any topic before lunching your net into the ocean of commentary. The underlining point is not about Buhari upholding the doctrine of Separation of Powers but the unexplainable fact that such damning report was not discussed with the president (who's is the C-in-C) before finding its way into the hallowed chambers. It also portrays Buhari as a double faced leader who probably ignored Magu's atrocities and still sent his name to the NA for confirmation. Try not to reason like a robot.

The seeming passive camps of pro and anti supporters of Buhari's government came to life during the week when the nation was awoken to resounding gongs of corruption allegations against two prominent serving officials of the APC-led adminstration by the country's legislative arm. To some, these latest graft allegations are no less different from the ones hanging on the necks of Buratai, Lawal Daura, Jafaru Issa and other close aides of the president who are still walking freely despite alarming graft offences they allegedly committed. Others however hold the strong belief that Mr. President is under immense pressure to prove his doubters wrong by sacrificing both Babachir and Magu to enhance his anti corruption image. While pontificating over Buhari's likely next line of action, let's consider the following scenarios:

1. In an apparent bid to save his neck from the tags of incompetence and complicity, Mr. President ignored budget padding allegations raised by Jubrin against leaders of National Assembly despite concrete evidence to that effect. Pursuing the case in the reasoning of the president would have portrayed him as an incompetent leader who signed a padded budget into law. It would have further indicted him for not putting his house in order before sending the appropriation bill to the NA for confirmation So, the president took the easiest escapist route by simply telling the world that the 2016 Budget was not padded. Would the president toe the same line in Babachir and Magu's cases?

2. Taking point 2 above into consideration would the president go ahead to accept Senate's rejection of Magu against the backdrop of been blamed for not thoroughly screening him before been sent to the NA for confirmation?

3. Will the president live with or ignore the shame of been bypassed by the DSS who chose to submit Magu's indictment report directly to the Senate and still take pitch his tent with the legislators?

4. Will the acceptance of Senate's recommendation not solidify the position of many who believe that Buhari is not in control of his government?

5. If the president choose to damn all consequences by sticking with both Magu and Babachir, what does this portend for his anti corruption crusade and 2019 aspiration (if any) lest we forget the damaging effect of Sanusi's $20 billion missing NNPC money allegation on Jonathan's 2015 reelection bid.

niyilagun:
Why confusing us again

Simply because some people derive pleasure in confusing others and Falana is a genius in that regard. This is a man that supported freezing of a sitting governor's account just because he hates Fayose. That man shouldn't be taken serous any longer..

NgeneUkwenu:
Wike Is Time Is Up!

He Will End Up In Disgrace!

I had thought that by now, your mischievousness pre and post 2015 elections would have vanished after seeing the disaster Buhari has become. Anyway, asking you to repent is tantamount to asking Satan to accept Jesus in his life.

Lest I forget, thousand of Buhari, Ameachi and APC can't do jack to Wike, take it to the bank.

Every sane mind knows EFCC erred in law by freezing the account of a sitting governor in an apparent violation of the constitution. Many people closed their eyes from the anomaly simply because it involved Fayose, forgetting that such precedence sets the tone for future anarchy. Successive presidents would use the infraction (if allowed to remain unchecked ) to deal with any governor who's opposed to their presidency. This judgement is a welcomed development.

SillyMods:
Buhari has been able to expose those who looted and raped Nigeria without mercy, including Mama Piss. Something the Ineffectual Buffoon could not even dare.

A student who comes home with a woeful or excellent result didn't record that result on the day he brings it home. He/she has actually recorded that performance probably some months/years back. What he brings home to his/her parents is only a confirmation of what s/he has sown in those past years.

There is NOTHING happening in Nigeria today that was not forewarned or predicted some years back. Sanusi said his own. Bismark Rewane said his own. Soludo said his own. Even at very late stage, madam Puff-Puff said it that Nigeria should prepare for tough times ahead when the useless woman and the IB were already borrowing to pay salaries in early 2015 at $75 per barrel of crude. Did anyone think tough times meant merry making times?

Make una keep wailing. At the right time, we will answer you.

But Buhari has not been able to expose the people that used N270 million to cut mere grass at IDP Camp. He has so far failed to nail those milking Nigeria through his imperialistic and lopsided forex policy (according to Sanusi). He failed to expose the governors that grounded their respective states to finance his 2015 election. He turned his eyes away from the secret CBN and FIRS recruitments involving top members of APC. Stop fooling yourselves.

sarrki:
Jonathan history will remember you Negatively

You and dasuki allowed boko to grew wings

Karma will catch up on both of u

Mouthpiece of Satan, can you simply answer the following questions:

1. Was it Jonathan that created Almajirism in Northern Nigeria, a social menace that bred poverty and religious exremism?

2. Did Jonathan prevent northern leaders including emirs from calling their subjects to order and nipping religious intolerance in the bud over the years?

3. Were you in the country when northern elders fought against State of emergency in the areas ravaged by Boko haram, asking Jonathan to remove soldiers from the streets?

4. Were you around when Buhari and other northern politicians tagged the fight against Boko haram as a fight against the north?

5. Were your senses still intact when APC and some northern elements worked against designation of Boko haram as a terrorist organisation?

6. Did you hear about fifth columnists working for northern politicians, who constantly leaked military intelligence to Boko haram during GEJ era?

May God punish you and other elements blaming Jonathan for the spread of Boko haram in Nigeria.

Maduawuchukwu:
My own is that if Buhari losses Come 2019, he should do what his contemporaries like GEJ, John Mahama and Jameh have done. But will a man who massacred people of opposing faith(the shiites) like Nouri Al-maliki of Iraq do so? Time will tell.

Don't wait for time to tell anything brother. This Buhari WILL NEVER handover to the opposition if he losses in 2019. It's so evident. The best he will do is to relinquish power to a surrogate military junta, a decision that would take the country back to the dark ages. Buhari would have declared war on Nigeria if he hadn't won in 2015.

Goke7:
if PDP deserves another chance, then PMB lot of folks are despising deserves second, third, fourth and twentieth chance in your own words.

We must all be careful what we wish for!

How many chances did PMB have before winning the presidency in 2015? Think about it.

Sibrah:
PDP already had four chances, how can God 're-give' a second chance?

If God in His infinite mercy hadn't given you second, third, fourth, fifth and even twentieth chance, you would have packed up as a mortal. So, everybody is living today by Heaven's unending second chance. Ok!

ijustdey:
PDP trying to feel relevant.....







the party is just breathing because of SE and SS....

They're still relevant. If not, ask Buhari and his footsoldiers including INEC and Abang why they are working round the clock to destabilize the party.

I don't know how Nigerians expect someone who did not show simple remorse for the death of Corpers and other Nigerians in the aftermath of 2011 elections to feel their pain for 'ordinary hunger'.

A conscientious and humane leader will strive to improve the living conditions of the citizens rather than complicate it.

Opinedecandid:
No point pretending.

Well done, GEJ.

I concur 100%.

Though the ex-president hasn't told us the reason for his decision to stay away, I nonetheless think that's a smart and sensible move. Don't ever dine with serpents and chameleons. Simple.

yarimo:
That is your problem, my problem is EFCC should remember your case after your tenure.

Buhari and EFCC aren't God, so stop threatening Fayose and let the future take care of that.

The person that condemned Obasanjo to death in 1997 is no more but the Ota man is still hale and healthy today.

HtwoOw:
Even if you apply the the heads of our heroes past shall not gree for you


Eleriibu somebody

But your satanic party (APC) can beg somebody like Orji Kalu, a man under EFCC prosecution to join its fold? I think you're sick.

Besides, Fayose is not a scammer and deceiver. He won't fit into APC conmen structure.

Though I don't usually take Sanusi serious having been confirmed as a serial alarmist, the APC and Buhari must pay for taking the Emir's words on the so-called $20b 'missing NNPC money" hook, line and sinker, without confirming its veracity, and using same to rubbish Jonathan. People in this government are just shameless.

SUMMARY:

1. Contrary to the widely held belief, Niger Delta crisis is not the main contributory factor to the nation's recession since the oil sector only constitutes less than 15% of the GDP. The president and VP are wrong to always premise the economic woes on plummeting oil revenue.

2. Lopsided foreign exchange policy is substantially responsible for the lull in productive activities in the manufacturing, agriculture and other sectors of the economy which constitute the remaining 85% of the country's GDP. In other words, Buhari's economic policies are the main reasons for the recession.

3. Even if hostility in Niger Delta ceases and global oil price rebounds, it doesn't guaranty our speedy recovery from recession since our GDP growth is not mainly galvanised by oil revenue inflow.

Suurulere:
Just wish him happy birthday and leave the rhetorics.

"Stealing is not corruption."- GEJ

"President Jonathan lacked the goodwill to save."- Okonjo-Iweala

Son of Lucifer, can you just shut it up? Always twisting facts to whip up sentiments. Jonathan never said stealing is not corruption in the manner you and other mischievous elements are brandishing it and at no time did Okonjo Iweala ever accuse him of lacking the will to save. She was ostensibly referring to the governors led by Ameachi and Fashola who dragged the ex president to the Suprrme court for not sharing the ECA fund. So stop lying and be real for once. You better concentrate your venom on Buhari who claimed Abacha was not corrupt but celebrates recovery of his loot from Switzerland and other places.

Lest I forget, happy and glorious birthday to Goodluck Ebele Jonathan the architect of modern day democracy in Nigeria.

Here they go again! Can Shehu Garba tell the world why Boko Haram will choose to release 21 Chibok Girls without any ransom, yet continues to kill other Nigerians in droves via suicide bombing? Can he also tell us if the lives of Chibok girls are now important than those of Colonel Alli, 38 missing soldiers and other Nigerians murdered in cold blood by Boko haram?

For your information, stopping Boko haram from holding territory in any part of the country is never a mean feat, no militia has the power to continually occupy any territory without eventually succumbing to the superior firepower of Nigerian Military. Boko haram held sway and hoisted their flags before 2015 elections because of northern complicity including statements made by Buhari and other leaders who tagged the fight against the sect as a fight against the north. At a time during Jonathan's reign, the north was ready to wage a civil war to stop military presence in the north. They only began to realise their mistakes after power shifted in 2015 but Boko haram continues its deadly activities.

Until this govt tell Nigerians the whole truth about Chibok girls abduction and release, they would never experience peace.

But every fear expressed in the "hate speech" has manifested in Buhari's 15-month reign. They said he's a bigot and sectional leader; he has proved to be one. He was accused of been sympathetic to Boko haram, no single Boko haram leader arrested in the last one year has been prosecuted .They said he's not intellectually and economically sound; he has plunged the country into recession under one year in office. There's none of the issues raised in the so called hate speech that hasn't come to pass, so who's now vindicated?

Politicians often think all Nigerians suffer from memory loss. This shameless minister claimed he didn't engage in physical struggle with anybody during his tenure as governor in Rivers but he invaded the State House of Assembly in a commando style causing commotion and preventing lawmakers from performing their legislative functions. Amaechi is turning Rivers into theater of war just because of election while Buhari is pretending as if nothing is amiss. Let's pray APC does not pull Nigeria down because of power.

From the look of things it would take a miracle for Hilary Clinton to win eventually. The tide is massively in Trump's favour.

The moment INEC acceded to the request of National Assembly and promptly fixed the reruns for Dec 10, my instinct told me something was in the offing. Without any doubt, APC in connivance with INEC massively rigged Edo gubernatorial election. The delay all this while was to perfect the rigging of Rivers elections. Nigeria needs divine intervention from APC darkness.

WORDWORLD:
OLADD,

Can you remember precisely the date the CHIBOK GIRLS were announced to have been 'kidnapped'?

It was on the 14th of April 2014.

Can you remember what else happened on that same day?

The Nyanya bus station mega bomb blast happened on the same day. When you read through history of Democracy, the sstruggle for power at all cost. HUMAN LIVES are but a stepping stone to for those who lust for POWER. And what do they use this power for. TO OPPRESS!!!

ALL THIS CLOUDING THE AIR WITH THE PROPAGANDA OF TERRORISM IS ALL IN THE BID TO ESTABLISH AN IMPERIAL EMPIRE BY THE VAMPIRE EMPIRE, THE U.S.A. THEY SEE NOTHING IN THE SPILLING OF THE HUMAN BLOOD. ONLY FEW PEOPLE SEE BEYOND THEIR NOSE....................ITS WELL CALCULATED IN THE DIRTY GAME CALLED POLITICS. ITS ALL INTERNATIONAL POLITICS FOR CONTROL AND DOMINATION.

This documentary may interest you too title: WHY WE FIGHT. Written and Directed by Eugene Jerecki. Its a video.

Is it not curious that the same USA has been hobnobbing with a particular section of this country while neglecting others in the last two months? I am not a tribal jingoist (and would never be one) but the handwriting of their evil machinations is just too bold for those who choose to see. Nigeria needs prayers.

Paperwhite:
This is another insight to the "Chibok girls" debacle.God bless you well.

Many thanks. God bless you too.
