If a grownup woman in the mould of Oby Ezekwesili fails to come to term with the reality of been used in the Chibok orchestra after more than 2 years of back and forth, then we should begin to question the intellectual capability of some doctorate degree holders in Nigeria.

BBOG simply means BringBackOurGovernment and the mission is fully accomplished. Can't this woman see the signs clearly written on the wall?

We hope the recession is not as long as Alibaba's original names.

The guy is really throwing Obaseki off balance. Obaseki said local govts in Edo state are autonomous, that state govt does not have any control on them and their finances but Ize-Iyamu just disgraced him with facts and figures on how the state govt of Edo state is blocking local govt finances and making them unable to pay their workers for u to 18months. Obaseki is getting scared.

That's the part that really got me cracking. The ease at which APC leaders tell lies is really worrisome. It's rather amusing that Obaseki was claiming Local Govts are autonomous in Nigeria when the reverse is the case. From all intent, Ize-Iyamu was more precise in his submissions and he seems more honest than his APC counterpart.

Caseless:
Trash!

Anybody that sums up the senator's exposé as trash is either mentally deranged or born with the DNA of stupidity and wickedness. You should have done a better job by telling Nigerians any point raised in the letter against Buhari's satanic administration that's not true. I am happy outsiders are beginning to take interest in unfolding developments in Nigeria but personally I want Buhari to continue to disregard people's complaints, it would definitely speed up his destructive end.

So Soludo has suddenly become PDP apologist? Wonders shall never end. Where was Sani when the same Soludo was campaigning subtlety for APC in the buildup to the last presidential election? Where was this Kano senator when Soludo lied about missing $30billion in Jonathan's govt, a false alarm that pitched Jonathan against the masses? Where was he when Sanusi lied that $20b was missing from NNPC confers? Only fools criticise others but flair up when given the same dose..

Descartes:
Garba Shehu is just clueless and has been having a hard time defending Buhari and his many gaffes

The man is just too petty, childish and full of pranks. Most of his speeches doesn't depict a govt spokesman who's mature, responsible and honest. Contrary to what Garba Shehu is making us to believe, Buhari's actions in the last 14 months have shown how intolerant he's to criticism most especially from the opposition.

If such a "conspiracy" was so successful a tool used to evict a sitting government, even though the likes of FFK who's responsibility it was to protect that same government knew it was a conspiracy, and yet did nothing about it, then two points were undoubtedly proven:

1. Jonathan's government must have been the most unpopular government ever in the history of humankind.

2. Jonathan indeed had the worst set of nonentities working with him- they knew what was being used to nail him yet did nothing to avert his imminent eviction.

Your submission glaringly proves you know nothing about intricacies of governance and power play that characterize this contraption called Nigeria.

Jonathan knew about the Chibok and Boko haram grand conspiracies but his love for a united country actually prevented him from taking drastic actions that would have plunged the nation into civil war. What's the essence of waging full scale war against those behind the plots and end up pulling the nation into a near crisis situation similar to that of June 12 era?

Chibok and Boko haram had both local and international connectivity all geared toward returning power back to the north and any attempt by Jonathan to use everything in his arsenal as a sitting president to fight the conspiracy would have led to the end of Nigeria. To those behind Chibok, it's either Jonathan left power or the nation ceased to exist.

These people are just too funny. So you voted someone who was reported to have likened the fight against Boko haram to a fight against the north simply because he promised to release Chibok girls? Someone who was nominated by Book haram to dialogue with the then FG but refused simply because he wanted to hijack power? Did you ask yourselves why he didn't make any move to stop Boko haram as a key figure in the north? Some Nigerians are just too illiterate.

obailala:
Another wailing thread devoid of common sense... A non-existent APC made up 36 governors as at 2010 I believe. In fact the same non-existent APC also took OBJ to court as far back as 2005/2006, they also took Yaradua to court in 2007/2008 and within months of GEJ getting to power in 2010, GEJ instantly started dipping his hands into the ECA and sharing the cash for his 2011 election. After distributing 49% of the total ECA cash, the same APC guys also charmed GEJ into swallowing the over 51% which was FG's share. Wonderful logic from wailing twerps! ... and these are the bunkums that accuse APC of passing only blames.

Not quite surprising. There's none of your posts that doesn't have element of deceit and vagueness. Only a warped mind will not attest to the roles Ameachi and the APC governors played in killing the ECA through propaganda and kangaroo court injunctions and I am sure you know the truth but choose to blindly support your evil party.

Besides, if you're looking for where GEJ invested the 51% FG share, pick your phone and google the numerous landmark projects left behind for Buhari's incompetent govt. The railway gauges (shamelessly launched by Buhari and Ameachi) are just some of them.

OP, saying that the APC zombies and their masters are useless and foolish is grossly an understatement. From their positions and stance on national issues, one can easily deduce they are bunch of heartless, unconscientious, ill-mannered, dishonest and uncultured individuals. If you're looking for agents of Satan on earth, turn to your left or right-they abound in APC.

Association of Political Conmen. Why are you taking pills for other people's headache? Was Modu Sherif not a founding father of APC before parting ways with the party over leadership tussle? If the law of nature is taking its toll on Wike, then APC should expect doublefold of karma for using DSS and other security agencies to persecute members of opposition. Didn't Oshiomole (Go and die crooner) prevent PDP from using state stadium in Edo? Didn't Buhari use soldiers to stop PDP convention in Rivers? APC can play prank of sainthood with Nigerians a million times but nobody can ever deceive God.

Falae's link with Dasukigate was established over a year ago yet EFCC only found it fertile to prosecute him now. For a govt that scored less than 30% in its performance rating, script of staggered prosecution will never be found wanting in their library of prank just to keep Nigerians busy till 2019. The nation is bleeding economically and in the area of security but our govt is window-dressing with fathom fight against corruption. This country is in wrong hands.

Osyabj:
Dambazul and Burantai are change agents despite their alleged past infractions. AGF, Malami, may chose not to prosecute them. He may ask them to make restitutions quietly. It is called "Prosecutorial discretion" It is allowed worldwide including the US.

However, any member of the Pipeline destruction Party, pdp members and their puppets in NASS, in persons of Saraki and Dogara, who is caught in a corruption scandal MUST be docked, publicly humiliated and destroyed.

People like you are the ones been unconscientiously used by the devil to propagate disorderliness, chaos, confusion and enmity in the world and I can only imagine the magnitude of evils you must have unleashed in your family and community with this warped mindset. Prosecuting a set of people while leaving others to walk free for the same offence is what's called selective justice which obviously attracts dire consequence. If you doubt this, ask question about the case of prophet Eli who was busy judging Isreal while overlooking the atrocities of his children. His end was anguish and death. The same fate will befall Buhari and anyone who consciously supports his selective prosecution.

Firefire:
Media noise.

What is the state of Dambazul and Burantai + Bukola Saraki ?

Buhary corruption fighting is BOGUS and farce.

Good question. Maybe we should also inquire about the fate of Jafaru Isa (Buhari's associate) who was accused of receiving money from Dasuki the same way FFK, Dokpesi and others did. Heaven is watching Buhari's govt with rapt attention.

Let any mentally demented zombie counter or dispute just one of the salient points raised in this article.

"It's better to loose power and gain honour than to gain power and loose honour".

***Words on Marble***. Hope power mongers are learning fast from unfolding events in Nigeria. God is wonderful!

searchng4love:
This abang guy is destined for a very great fall

Abang may end up like Justice Salami of the Salamigate era. We can vividly remember how the later was touted as an alleged willing tool in the hand of the old ACN.

Chairman of scammers. So this man is now hinging Nigeria's economic recovery on Dangote's refinery. Oyegun should be reminded that even under an APGA controlled Federal Govt, Dangote and any other investors would still have built refineries. After all, it was under a "clueless" PDP administration that the telecom sector was liberalised paving way for the entrance of MTN, Glo, Econet and co. Instead of telling the nation how far they have gone with Turnaround Maintenance of old refineries and building new ones, Oyegun is bragging over a private investor's initiative! Anybody expecting Nigeria's fortune to turn around under APC govt is on a wild goose chase. These people don't have anything to offer. Nothing!

OrlandoOwoh:
Shut up! Muhammed Ali could be regarded as a talkative for always shouting "I'm the greatest". I guess he was a bad man.

Who's this? You're mad. I mean you're incurably mad. Why not keep quite if there's nothing useful to say. Everybody has his/her personality, so does Jonathan. Please keep the stewpid analogy to yourself.. OK?

IDnoble1:
Why did he respond immediately the allegation was raised against him then? Try to be objective for a while.

Very funny. So you expected him to have kept quite? I am through with you.

OrlandoOwoh:
When would you people allow GEJ to speak for himself? Stop being "abobaku."

A good man is not known to be a talkative. Those who believe in his good works and personality often speaks for him. Please can you just shut it up!

12Monkeys:
Coming from this useful idi0t who said an individual is better than institutions.

Omojuwa, your career is on suicide watch because in a tyrannical pseudo democratic Nigeria, your opinions are irrelevant.

You speak of democratic tenants but remained blind when your APC rigged, blackmailed and terrorised their way into Aso Rock and here you are spewing crap lamenting that the tyrant you help campaign for is now showing his true anti democratic colors.

You will not only wail but gnash your teeth.

Good points. Shameless people like Omojuwa should have stylishly gone underground instead of striving to be relevant. They write and speak like intellectuals but allow their sense of judgement to be overridden with primordial sentiments. Omojuwa just like Dele Momodu is nothing but a sycophant whose views on national issues, at least for now, should be confined to the nearest garbage bin.

Buhari and his demonic security aides are just suffering from guilt conscience. An evil doer will naturally nurture the fear of been harmed due to atrocities committed in the past. When a tyrant used Boko haram as ladder to hijack power, it's natural for him to be afraid of his shadows thinking that someone will pay him back in the same coins. Jonathan is a gentleman, not a "baboon will soak in blood" personality.

If this is true, someone should do a background check on the officer's family. Either his parents or close family member must have died of suicide in the past. Perhaps the authority should be proactive in ensuring that he doesn't take his life due to frustration because only a suicide candidate or someone suffering from acute madness would put up such post.

HungerBAD:
Interesting.

The Government should not waste Nigeria's manpower investigating this man,he should simply be locked up as an economic saboteur.

This Militancy started from Bayelsa,when Goodluck Jonathan was the Deputy Governor,and he introduced this settlement of these RiffRaffs when he became Governor.

When he became President,him and his militant kinsmen had an open season on Nigeria's treasury.

Goodluck Jonathan had one Key to the Central Bank,and Tompolo had the other one,while Asari Dokubo was the Gateman to the Vault.

Goodluck Jonathan knows these Militants,they have been peppersouping together from his Deputy Governorship days.

Arrest Goodluck Jonathan,and Militancy in the Niger Delta will die a Natural Death.

I guess the first drop of water in your mouth at birth was that of stup1dity. You can as well go beyond ordinary rant on NL by writing a petition to the police for Jonathan to be arrested. If Buhari really has the gut, let him arrest the ex president instead of media noise and propaganda..

Truth be told, if APC/Buhari can deploy one quarter of the energy been wasted on the opposition to tackle national problems, the country would have been better than its present state but characteristic of Satan their mentor, their only agenda is to destroy. The country is doomed if APC succeeds in turning Nigeria to one-party state

HYPO PO.....

BABY GEH SIPPING TEA AUGUST 14, 2016 AT 2:58 PM
Life is so dramatic…….sometimes the best way to respond to critics is to allow them walk in your shoes for a day….Before the elections, APC and her supporters had ALOT to say about EVERYTHING and its interesting to see how a year after victory, they have been unable to do anything.
1.Fashola stated that any serious government would solve power issues in 6months and nature with its sense of humour gave him the ministry’s portfolio, its been over 6 months and well the power issues haven’t been solved
2. Amaechi and Fashola led the governors to take the FG under GEJ to court to challenge the Excess Crude Account so they could force them to share the money, they have won and suddenly complain so much about how the last government didn’t save. I laugh in Karma.
3. Subsidy was removed in 2012 and the current APC founding fathers and supporters and “cashtivists” took to the streets, Buhari was on record saying there was nothing like subsidy. You can imagine my surprise at Buhari’s led FG complaining last year that subsidy payments were to0 high…..Huh? what subsidy?
4. GEJ was corrupt but Nigeria’s economy was recording 7% growth, I mean we were the “N” in the MINT countries- the ones to watch closely after the BRIC countries. We rebased and became the biggest economy in Africa, NOI managed to keep inflation down throughout……. APC and her supporters said all these achievements were only on paper. Now we are in recession, why cant they also achieve these same feat “only on paper” as well? (“Oil prices are low” blah blah and 20 other excuses….Go check what the prices were during OBJ’s time)
5. APC and her supporters said GEJ bought no weapons to fight Boko Haram, GEJ and Dasuki stole everything, It is instructive to know that APC announced a “technical defeat” over Boko Haram in December without purchasing any weapons. Its either one of 2 things: GEJ actually bought weapons or APC quietly stopped funding BH, aim had been acheived…… Meanwhile Hadiza Bala and Maryam Uwais have been handsomely rewarded, madam Oby Ezeks…how far?
6. You all call GEJ corrupt today because he signed the FOI Act, NGOs could make FOI requests to ministries and get data, data they could interprete depending on how much Bourdillon was willing to pay…..SLS said 20 Billion was missing, its funny how a year after, the APC hasnt found the missing money. Maybe it was another phantom accusation that they knew the masses would buy, afterall Nigerians are an emotional bunch. 1+1 =2 0r 5 depending on who’s asking. BudgIT has sent several FOI requests recently that have been ignored by this administration. Opacity is back, The corruption you dont know about can’t kill you right?….
7. Remember when APC said GEJ was sheilding Stella Oduah, Deizani and Abba Moro? I wonder what we can say about Buratai, Amaechi, Dambazzau, Kyari Abba et al
8.APC says be Patient with Buhari, do you expect him to do Magic, its only been a year and a few months……I say Bullsh*t, Remember when Y’all when to occupy in January 2012? how many months into GEJ’s adminsitration was it? People wrote off GEJ after the subsidy protests……what happened to Patience then….?
9. Lets not talk about the illegal hires or should we….?
10. lets not talk abot the much derided GEJ’s locomotive trains that have been launched with fanfare. or should we….?
I could go on with more examples but im sure you’ll all be bored…..
Anyway, APC stated on the eve of the elections that it would form a parallel government should they fail to win the elections, its quite clear that APC was indeed more prepared to be opposition than to actually take up the responsibility of governance. APC stated unequivocally that Nigeria was in a mess and would disintergrate if GEJ won. You don’t make such statements if you haven’t accessed the situation so its really BS turning around to say something different after winning, Mr Party Chairman, its either your party is full of decietful liars or you peple are simply unprepared for governance.
MY THEORY- APC was only a special purpose vehicle with one aim- REMOVE GEJ. With each passing day, it becomes clearer that APC had no plans no ideology, it was only a bunch of self centred politicians waiting for thier turn to have a go at the National Cake. It was never about the Masses, it was never about service, It was never about Love for country. It was never accountability.

With people like you around, Nigeria is destined for greatness. Pls keep it up and God bless you.

Though unreasonably lengthy and expectedly vague, I had to reluctantly read through this latest Garba Shehu's epistle simply to fulfil all righteousness and accentuate the truism of a local adage that says "if one does not buy lies, it becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible to buy truth". No matter how the President's spokesperson tries to "pad" his words, it would never erase the fact that Buhari's govt has so far failed in all ramifications. Now to the specifics;

1. President Buhari in his inauguration speech at Eagles Square told the entire world that Boko haram would not be said to have been defeated if its sponsors are not arrested and prosecuted. Garba Shehu should be reminded that until that is achieved, any claim of the sect's defeat is nothing but fallacy.

2. The president may enjoy rave of eulogy from Nigerians in diaspora but his rating at home among different strata of the society is nothing but appalling. Maybe Shehu needs to walk far away from the villa just to have firsthand feeling of Buhari's street rating.

3. Boko haram and NDA attracts more attention than the exploits of Adeosun, Ngige, Fashola et al simply because the former hit their targets and walk the talk in contrast to the "I WILL" rhetorics from the arguably incompetent ministers.

4. If in the face of the alarming scams and padding claims trailing the 2016 "Budget of Change", a govt spokesman still tries to ascribe some similitude of competence to Buhari and his cabinet, then Nigeria is simply in wrong hands. In saner climes, the 2016 budget should have been trashed to a nearby refuse bin. If I were Garba Shehu anything that brings up the 2016 budget as a point of discuss would be stylishly avoided.

5. Garba Shehu won't just stop amusing himself. He spoke about Buhari's effort to diversify the economy yet the govt has so far preoccupied itself with oil exploration in the north. What an irony!

6. An finally, can Garba tell Nigerians the benefit derived so far from reducing Ministries/parastatals from 46 to 24?. Has the cost of staff and other overheads reduced as a result of that decision? Has it improved service delivery in whatever form?

Nobody derives pleasure in criticising governments but if we must move forward as a nation, fables from the stables of people like Garba Shehu must be thoroughly watered down or else we would be mistaking a rotten banana for an overripe one

When people in the age bracket of 10-40 tell lies, it can easily be attributed to life adventures but when an adult of 77 years old (a supposed elder stateman) revels in barefaced lie and prank, then there's a huge problem. I am sorry but this man is a liability to Nigeria.

Oche211:
Even though it's wrong of him to boycott the debate, it has however been proven that no be he who goes to the debate arena dey win the election.
GEJ is a typical example.

And you think there's any sense in this statement? The result of winning election by intentionally boycotting debates is what Nigeria is facing in the last 14 months. It's a pity there are still people like you who will never learn from history.

Anybody that took and still takes Tinubu for his words must be a clown. Can anyone mention any poverty alleviation programme he embarked upon throughout his eight-year rule in Lagos?

Traditionally, Tinubu has a way of shipping out when the chips are down. He hopped out of Nigeria after tactfully landing Abiola into trouble in 1994. So, it's not surprising that the man has gone underground after fostering this untold hardship on Nigerians. Such an unrepentant imperialist.
