Please where are all those south Africans spewing trash Nigeria don relegated una oooooooooo.........
That is a lesson that no matter what Nigeria is still and will still be your master don't forget we save the ass of your heroe #ProudlyNigerian

kettykin:
There is nothing we will not see or he in Nigeria's zoo, accusations with out substantial evidence or proof, till date Nigerians are yet to see the promised change, free lunch for school kids, stipend for jobless youths and the extermination of Boko-Haram, all we hear is accusation against pdp members without evidence.

take it easy bro four years is a long way to go

What exactly did Nigerians want with the way we politicise everything and attach sentiment to every issues left one in oblivion if truly if Nigerians desire change attributing every case and people indicted of corruption as witch hunting is nothing but leading the way back to Egypt may God help us.
Please mr. Saraki go and answer your name before the judge

this guy call shekau is joke and a first grade clown if Buhari is a liar them him is what? he should show himself now and to say the military are not winning the war shows he is frustrated even though he exist no more
Op source please

IF you are merely a highly casual observer of events, you may not even have noticed the war. One explanation is probably that your news medium does not know, either. That tells you how serious, but exciting, this war is going to be. Reporting a war is unlike reporting education, government or the National Assembly. Compared to war reporting, those are like writing a blog: you can (almost) sit on your recliner—your television remote control in the other hand—and do it. To report a war, you need War Correspondents: citizens of courage who understand the dimensions of trying to share the dimensions of a conflict with the larger world. They also know that the blood that is shed is not always that of the enemy. A war correspondent does not make you accept a war; he makes you understand its essence. He understands that the war is too important to be left to the soldiers. A war correspondent serves the war with the dinner, if there is one. The war correspondent is the missing element of the coming war, and we must have him if we are to understand its sweet savagery enough to swear, on behalf of our children, “Never again!” I am talking about Nigeria’s anti-corruption war, and never again the false peace which preceded it. But a true war is dangerous if it lacks historians dedicated enough to interpret and document it. To be clear: sometimes, war correspondents do not come back. I don’t mean physically, but psychologically. A war needs men and women who have that special capacity that is beyond casualty- counting. A war takes its toll, but the reason why some war correspondents appear to have been lost in the war relates as much to its dimensions and nuances as to the actual fighting. Nigeria, corruption: these two words have occupied the same headlines and sentences for so long they seem to be Siamese twins. Now, for the first time, they get inserted between them, in practice, the smaller one, war. The word is small until you think about it, or remember that the war has been described as one for the soul of the nation. This is a three- dimensional one that has no real boundaries. No, it is not about the Goodluck Jonathan administration; no, it is not about people who have served in public office; and no, it is not about who is alive and who is dead. Think: if you are a Nigerian, and you have held public office, you are in the fight, somewhere, even though it may not at first appear to involve you. A war correspondent may call, or connect you. If you are a Nigerian and have held no public office but are related to someone who has, you are in it, somehow. If you are a Nigerian and have held no public office, but have worked in a public office or serviced such an office, you are in it, somehow. If you are not a Nigerian but have worked in official proximity to a Nigerian official or office, you are in it, somehow. If you have worked in a state or local government capacity but have retired or become incapacitated, a war correspondent may call you on account of documents received from a certain federal pensioner in your area. Think about it: a pardoned convict, former Bayelsa State Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha (DSP), is currently on a campaign of self-vindication. In press interviews, the man who reportedly fled the United Kingdom in a woman’s buba, gele and high-heels blames his impeachment and conviction not on his corruption, but on a conspiracy led by President Olusegun Obasanjo. DSP does say anything about his corruption issues with the Metropolitan Police in London, or how he imagines they were recruited into the conspiracy, or about his assets in the United States that were subsequently seized by that country. What if those UK and US issues seeped back into the war, and a war correspondent called Mr. Goodluck Jonathan—who as President not only refused to claim DSP’s assets offered to Nigeria but pardoned the man—and Jonathan called Mohammed Adoke, who was his Attorney General? Think about it: if they probed the Abacha loot saga, Olusegun Obasanjo is certain to testify; he has said he left $2bn, £100m and N10bn in cash and property of Abacha’s money when he left office in 2007. That means they will call Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala, who has said that government recovered only $500m; and her successor in the Ministry of Finance (2006), Nenadi Usman, who said five Ministries received the funds for 50 projects. This means war correspondents can call a lot of people involved with a lot of offices and funds and projects. Projects: If they probed the Second Niger Bridge, the East-West Highway, or the Transformation Agenda, Pandora’s Box? And if they probed Wale Babalakin and his Bi- Courtney Consortium over the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, would Jonathan’s Works Minister Mike Onolememen and his staff be called by war correspondents? If they probed the Sagamu-Benin Road, would recent Works Ministers from Tony Anenih through Adeseye Ogunlewe to Onolememen testify? If they probed Patience Jonathan’s $13.5 million EFCC 2006 seizure, will a war correspondent call former boss Nuhu Ribadu, who announced her “clearance” years after he had left the commission? Think: Senate President Bukola Saraki, who has enjoyed hide-and-seek games with law- enforcement since his governorship of Kwara State ended in 2011, has finally been charged by the Code of Conduct Bureau. As soon as he heard the charges against him, Saraki—like DSP—declared them to be a witch-hunt. That is particularly interesting when you remember that the Senate, Saraki’s playpen, recently claimed to be probing EFCC chairman Ibrahim Lamorde for allegedly diverting a trailer load of recovered funds, over N1 trillion’s worth. It is also significant that the CCB is after Saraki for crimes allegedly committed between 2003 and 2011. The same agency has conveniently ignored as many as 14 former governors recommended to it by a 2006 federal Joint Task Force for prosecution. The ICPC, which treats blindness with eye drops, is also now conveniently looking into the finances of (some) former governors. Think: what if they investigated military and security chiefs who supervised various Houdini and whodunit budgets; Ministers who financed beyond Ministries; and former governors who claimed to have no accounts overseas but who somehow managed to own property before and during their governorships? Yes, thunder is rumbling in the distance, but an anti-corruption offensive has not begun. If that happens, the anti-corruption outfits, despite their activism, can expect to play as much defence as prosecution. If there is a war, they can win legitimacy not simply from the authority of the law, but from their record. But the war, if it comes, will be the province of the “war correspondent.” That is what I call every citizen who acknowledges it as the chance of a lifetime. It will be an intricate, intertwined and complicated process, but a contact sport in which, by participating robustly but fairly, the ordinary citizen can determine his future. www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/09/wanted-war-correspondents/

dougivilla:
I only responded to the person that said PMB is not aware of the ''arrest'' order on saraki.

Talking about false assets declaration, kindly tell us the value of a land yet to be located in port Harcourt. Does this qualify as an asset?

May God save the two faced CCB and Nigerians!

funny enough

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused
the Peoples Democratic Party of openly launching
a counter-offensive against the efforts of the Buhari
Administration to rid the country of impunity and
corruption, but warned that the opposition party
will fail in its attempt to take Nigerians back to
Egypt.
”Saturday’s Press Statement by the PDP is
nothing but a thinly-veiled frontal assault on the
relentless efforts of the Buhari Administration’s to
clean the Augean Stable of the last PDP Federal
Government,” the party said in a statement issued
in Lagos on Saturday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Lai Mohammed
”With its statement that is nothing but an
unabashed support for impunity and corruption, as
well as its major actors, the PDP has now
confirmed itself as the official ‘poster boy’ for
corruption in Nigeria,” it said.
APC said the long-winding sophistry about the rule
of law, democracy and personal freedoms is aimed
at couching the PDP’s abhorrence and disdain for
the fight against corruption in democratic cliches,
especially now that the battle is gradually hitting
the PDP where it hurts.
The party said for the PDP’s National Publicity
Secretary himself, the persistent onslaught against
the Buhari Administration is neither altruistic nor
informed by any belief in higher values, ”because
the allegations of corruption hanging on his own
neck, from within his own party, is a clear
indication that he is mortally afraid that the wind
will soon blow hard enough to expose the fowl’s
rump”.
”Neither the PDP as a party nor its spokesman
have the moral authority to condemn anyone, least
of all a President that is working hard to rescue
Nigeria from the abyss to which it has been
plunged by the former ruling party.
”For the PDP to brush aside the latest revelation
that a government it sired could not account for $
700 million from the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF),
or the fact that the party could not account for
billions of Naira in its own campaign funds, and
then launch a frontal attack against a reformist
government, is the height of shamelessness.
”For the ethically-challenged spokesman of the
same morally-deficient party to continue to spew
trash under the guise of opposition politics is
totally provocative and absolutely unacceptable.
Worse still, the lack of focus in the labyrinthine
statements being issued by the opposition party
has confirmed the prescience of the APC’s offer to
the PDP’s spokesman to take a crash course in
how to speak for the opposition,” it said.

Dasuki and saraki was the first sacred cow here all from the north am sorry to bring ethnicity into this but the truth is a thief is a thief regardless of where he or she comes from and i hope my fellow brothers and sisters from the south will understand this in time to come

chukwudi44:
Saraki's trial will take years to be decided as it will eventually get to the supreme court!! Saraki might end up appearing in court tommorrow but the trial would be adjourned to a later date

Let wait and see

Sometimes i wonder if Saraki is a law maker or law breaker if he can not simply obey the same law he is making then there is a problem.............whether witch hunting or wizard hunting Saraki should go and clear himself before the law is he too big to appear before a judge

dougivilla:
DSS arrests INEC official: PMB has no hand.

Naira is loosing value everyday: No pmb hand.

CCB arrests Saraki: PMB has no hands in it.

Refineries commence operations: Kudos to Buhari

Improvement in power supply: Buhari's body language is responsible.

Good people, great nation. I hail oh!!!!

please stop confusing yourself everyone knows when things goes right in the country the president will take the glory so also will the blame be accredited to him if things goes wrong however the topic of discus here is saraki and the CCB not PMB and i believe the language is clear and the crimes the CCB are charging Saraki with is no business of PMB abi how is false asset declaration the business of PMB...............

..........."He that goes to equity goes with clean hands" all this noise will not save saraki and what is the business of PMB in this is he the CCB, EFCC, ICPC or DSS these agencies are doing their job abi dem say na Buhari dey investigate saraki ni. i just love this episode of the season that we ate right noe in Nigeria #thiefcatchthief

How then should a sitting arrangement in the examination hall be if not like this to me this is not new come to Fed Poly Kaura Namoda and you know that examination is a true test of knowledge

some people are just shameless. if obj is a devil incarnate is he the one who ask you to shamelessly dressed like a woman to laundered money?? this man called DSP is a disgrace to his generation well why will i put all the blame on him off course not our generation who keep on celebrating the old generation of thief dhould also shear in the blame. A thief caught in broad daylight stealing is now being refers to as GOVERNOR GENERAL of there nation what a pity indeed Jonathan has no money

Reading through the news from may 29 one may arguably agree that corruption as indeed eaten deep into our country system which no doubt as been the reason the country growth and development as been on a slow motion since independence, corruption may still be attributed to poor governance and bad leadership or should i said the reverse is the case but whichever way the dice turn the result will still be that corruption is like a plague that as befallen our great country, those that goes into public service no longer sees selfless service as a motivating factor rather their stimulant is what they will get out of the service which they never offer in the first place.

However, this might have been the reason president Muhammadu Buhari has throw up the hat to fight corruption and his administration to see an end to this menace that as ravaged our country for long. what then should the president do or how should the president fight this monster remain a question many Nigerians are still pondering on even when it is a common knowledge to overwhelming number of Nigeria's population that corruption is our common enemy and to kill it will requires a joint effort of all yet some are still reserved and some keep on condemning every effort and action taken by the president to curb the strength of this demon. Recently labour unions (NLC and TUC) throw their support for the war against corruption crusade of president Muhammadu Buhari and agitate capital punishment for any convicted corrupt person but there as been divers opinions on this some quarters in the country are saying capital punishment is bizarre and as not stop corruption in the countries they have been used that imprisonment should be enough punishment for those fund guilty. The recent outburst on this was that of the FORMER Commissioner of Police, Chief
Ikechukwu Aduba (retd), who described the call of death penalty for treasury looters to check official corruption by the labour unions as bizarre and unrefined though many including state governors has aired their different opinions on this which some aligned their self with the call of the labour unions and some giving a condition as, if it suit majority of the people.

But if the former pilice chief said death penalty is bizarre for treasury looters how then is it beeing use for amed robbers who only steal from few individuals and which the effect of their action is felt by few, for every naira stolen from the government coffers it as an adverse effects on many who are denied the access to which such money is meant for many have died of poor healthcare facilities, starvation, unclean water, depression, accident due to devastating state of our roads many are denied good education poor power supply has crumble many businesses these are not because government does not or did not allocate fund for these amenities to be in place but because some greedy individuals have siphon the money meant for it yet this former police chief and his like did not see treasury looters as thieves and murderers who could deserve death as punishment well if death penalty is seen to be too much for treasury looters then armed robbers should also not be sent to hang after all they both commit the same crime of theft.

It will be agreed that not so many Nigerians can sing the country's national anthem, though not too good for the country but the truth is not every Nigerian child can sing the national anthem words for words right from the primary school pupil up to the undergraduate in the higher institutions if in doubt call on your neighbor's child to sing the first stanza of the National anthem and you will be shock to hear the blunder that will come out like the rattle of the gun. Well who will blame the poor Nigerian child if even the law makers can not sing the country's anthem correctly, few years ago on one of the national tele network news a lawmaker was asked to sing the national anthem it was so embarrassing to hear the lawmaker sang the remixed of the "Arise o compatriot" but of course a poor education on that may have caused his bluff that very day. However if awesome number of the Nigeria citizens can not sing the first and second stanzas of the national anthem how many then can sing the national anthem of the first republic which i called "The Independence Anthem" and i tend to ask How many of you can sing this
#Nigeria we hail thee Our own dear native land, Though tribes and tongues may differ In brotherhood we stand. Nigerias all am proud to serve Our sovereign motherland.

Ecobank shey una don hear (kaura namoda to be precise) CNB should also do something about blind ATMs, debiting without dispensing cash, unnecessary alert charges and also the issue of interest

MrMcJay:
The initial part of your post shows the type of upbringing you have. Hence, I'll skip that.

What experience did Obanikoro have in Military administration that GEJ made him Minister of State for Defence?
What experience did GEJ have in leadership that he became Nigeria's President?

We are talking of track records of achievements that would turn the country around and you are talking of Universities and Polytechnics. GEJ has a 'PhD', can you state a single achievement of his while he ruled Bayelsa?

There are administrative heads and political heads in Ministries. The Minister is the Political head, while the Perm. Sec. is the administrative head. Mind you, many of the Perm Secs. are Phd holders and Professors, hence your logic collapses on its face.

There are many factors responsible for the economy being this way and Ministerial politics is just one of them. Afterall, who was the Minster of Power when electricity Generation surpassed 5,000MW?

May God bless you for you just said my mind.

"it is not FG that is building the road it is the Cross river state government"


*Building the road"


Dis guy wana kill me wif English ooooo

sorry it is "constructing" are you happy??

Dejohnbull:
Bro sometimes our leaders lack leadership (iq) he left aba-ikotekpene-uyo-itu-calabar 160km max, with high economy values to calabar-akampa-ikom-abaomege-makurdi, with less traffic if he archives this in four years i will call him PMB

it's a pity that you don't understand the post despite it is written in pure English
NB: it is not FG that is building the road it is the Cross river state government

Nigerians with their religious bigotry.
First let say the news is true which with all sensibility it is not what is the big deal if the church is relocated
secondly must there be a church and mosque in the Villa?
Thirdly must the church be close to the President lodge? out of vast land in the villa is why will any president built a mosque or church near the lodges in the villa not to say the president lodge given that Nigeria is not a one religious state
Fourthly what if an obatala worshiper becomes Nigeria's President will the chapel still hold it ground? and what if he decided to build a shrine in the villa
to be sincere many Nigerians are hypocrites and a bigot we claim to be religious yet injustice rule our land we claim to be holy yet corruption and impunity as become an institution in our country, yet claiming religious, so sensitive about it if i may ask is this God's commandment? if rapture were to take place today how many of us shouting and claiming to be religious will make heaven? why are we dividing ourselves on irrelevant things the headline reads the President is under pressure but the question remain who is pressurizing the President? #amtoobigtobefooled

Dr.Wikipedia[b]. He is always a dictator in classes he probably might not have adequate knowledge of his subject his lecture materials are directly copied from Wikipedia. you dare not ask this type of lecturers question

PassingShot:
Unfortunately, many Nigerians are too gullible to understand the difference a focused and determined leader can make.

Time my friend can change a lot of things by the time PMB four years will elapsed Nigerians will know the difference...........
NB: the deference between "here" and "there" is "T" which is TIME

i have read many comment about this issue and sentiment aside PMB has not utter a word concerning this nor did he take responsibility for the improve power supply when asked what he did concerning the improved power supply he simply said he told the investors to give Nigerians light or return the money the benefitted from the government and to be fair it is not all issues that requires money some only requires a decisive leader who will not tolerate impunity which led to what we are seing in our refineries and improved power supply

twoondei:
You obviously don't know. And yes, I am very educated.
So get the cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills so that the next time this happens, you'll make an effort before the victim dies on the way to the hospital. ]

I don't know if you are a doctor and if you have i think you need to go back to school for you to prescribed i first aid method for a patient who already is in the hospital where she could be treated with the best facilities she may required please save me all this crap of cardiopulmonary resuscitation of a thing just as i said earlier i pray it will not happen to you or your family member

an outrage of anger is already burning in me how can a doctor refuse to treat his patient because of common IDcard and that doctor took an oath.
knowing that the deceased sister is a lawyer and not making a case for the action of the medical staff makes me even more angrier though suing them will not bring her back but it serve as a deterrent for future occurrence. may her soul rest in peace

twoondei:
May her soul RIP.

And effective resuscitation is done on a flat surface/floor.

That's probably why they met her body on the floor.


I see everyone throw stones at doctors already. Every death that happens in a hospital is always pinned down to a doctor's fault. Let's take a chill pill please.

This girl was ELECTROCUTED!! No doctor will watch anyone die without making attempts at resuscitation. Nigerians will die from a fatal road traffic accident and still blame the doctors for not resuscitating at the mortuary.

Besides, the record officer would probably have asked for the ID

"And effective resuscitation is done on a flat surface/floor". really i can't believe this is coming from someone who supposedly is educated. i pray such will not happen to you and your family for you to clear your ignorance

you can also make money by doing assignments and researches for students................that as helped me alot i no go lie

[quote author=michaeltotti post=37882891]lolz.what dr and prof impact is diff.as in d people lecturin d bsc differs from d hnd.so how on earth should they nw converge and b equal?[/quote
the title is the difference? oh! what an argument please pardon me i don't know you being taught by a professor automatically makes you a genius what a debate!!!

michaeltotti:
lolz.same lecturer!!!permit my ignorant oo.do we have proffesors in polytechnic.

not equivalent.let indivudual brain talk

Funny..........is professor an academic qualification

It laughable hearing people saying or even thinks university is better than polytechnic what we fail to understand is that education is education whether poly or uni apart from the courses polytechnic don't offer such as medicine, philosophy, sociology, humanity and co there is no difference between the two, if you study engineering, architecture, quantity survey, Building tech and other technological related courses in the university you are only deceiving yourself to think you are better than your polytechnic counterpart because you but use the same books, tools, machines, and even the same procedure to study an architect in the polytechnic is an architect in the university we both use the same architec bibble (archi data), time saver standard, Barry construction e.t.c we are both taught how to arrange few lines together to create functional spaces so to think you are better than me because i am in the polytechnic is nothing but a deceit. The only way all this dichotomy can stop is when we ourselves respect each other imagine in a family if the older brother attain his education in the university he sees is younger brother as inferior simply because he is in the polytechnic forgetting that knowledge is knowledge and what makes the difference is the individual brilliancies and not the name uni or poly. If not madness you study in the polytechnic and your certificate reads Bsc ABU zaria and you think you are superior to your classmates who holds HND after being taught by the same lecturer under the same facilities in the same environment? my friend you are a dreamer! As long as we keep disrespecting ourselves the government will continue to pay a deaf hear to say the least

Yes, I know. I was talking about the part that gave exceptions. The part in inverted commas that ends "except otherwise expressly approved".

They should've made all revenues go into the TSA, without exception.[/quote
i think u r misinterpreting dat part "except otherwise expressly approved" doesn't mean some money will or are reserve
