ijawman4all: @peistein where have u seen God if not through his servants. God gave u a brain because he believes you make use of your descretion. That ur father is a lecturer doesn't mean you would not tell him the truth.

Peinstein: Simply put, ASUU members booed the reverend father. God didn't state it anywhere in the bible that lecturers shouldn't go on strike, neither did the rev. father state that his advice to call off the strike was from God. He has his opinion on national issues just like the Lecturers.
Stop attaching the name of God emotionally, the strike might seem to have overstretched its importance, yes we agree, but let God be

ROSSIKE: Lovely pic.

idumuose: We are waiting for Lai mohammed to comment or issue a press
statement on this incident.
Of course the blame game will start and sure,APC will point
accusing fingers at PDP.
Afterall PDP has been using the EFCC to harass the living day
lights out of Lamido and his sons.
I will not be disappointed if monday's headline on the nations
newspaper is captioned "Lamido's missing passport traced to
PDP'-- Lai mohammed.

joromi: The greatest Warlord ? ? ?

I thought he ran away and left his fellow warriors on the battlefield ?

Dr2great: The soul of Africa has not departed please! There are so many souls living in it. Shioor! Everybody just want to talk

SalvationMopol: I may not be in the literary field but achebe's works truly emancipate the common man but if he cud be compared to achebe,that i dnt know

ROSSIKE: Yes, he is our Mandela. You don't need to be jailed for 27 years to be a 'Mandela'. Which other Nigerian president has expanded agriculture, fixed the railway, remodelled 22 airports, repaired thousands of miles of federal roads, transformed the power sector, banking sector, telecoms, construction etc, all within a space of 2 years ?

payless: Off to Abidjan............

lygn19: Is either u re plain stup'id or an ediot, for u no to knw dat Buhari staged a coup once.

Billyonaire: Your logical fallacy is ad hominem

Billyonaire: You didn't have to bold your fonts to be read. It indicates that you want to be read at all cost. It also indicates that you are shouting. Yes, I have read what you put out there and I can assure you that it makes a lot of sense to you, but for me, its balderdash, gibberish, and emotional outpour unrelated to the thread and not measured to anything on scale.

Now, I challenge you to react to my post intelligently and I shall endeavor, if I feel like, to respond to you. By the way, address me with respect.

Billyonaire: Sometimes I wonder why some people who don't even have shelter of their own in Lagos are more Pro-Lagos, than us Land Lords in Lagos. What PDP, Lagos State Chapter is opining is fair play and equity to PDP Councilors (In Lagos State), to develop their constituency (In Lagos State), for the constituents (In Lagos State).

The Comparison is merely and fact fully necessary because (our) Lagos Governor, seems to play politics on Party and Tribal lines against the tenets of micro-democracy in the very Microcosmic Lagos.

Can you tribal Yorubas cease to be stupid 99% of the time?

here: The question is did the party who feel wronged go to court,did they pursue it to the top?
Let me be frank with you,most SANs in Nigeria dont want their names on cases with much publicity and they fail.
Atiku's case is different from Gov. Amaechi to me.Now the question is "when they approach the courts what will be their prayer?"
Once a court grants this which it'll without hearing the other party,the Gov stands removed.He'll appeal by himself as his new party might not have a ground to,the appeal might go six months to 1year by then we are almost at election he is no longer in control of party structure in the state and anyone who wins primaries gets the state.His judgement will come even if in his favor but the tenure has elapsed.
My opinion though.

gratieao: No you would have tell him to ask AWOLOWO how to achieve death easily

tensor777: Truth is that they are still being owed money

niyisky: LATEST WORD ON DR EMMANUEL FASHAKIN's ARREST BY SSS - by: Rotimi Fashakin - 30th November, 2013

Dear friends and Compatriots,

It gives me immense pleasure to formally announce to you all that Dr Emmanuel Fashakin was released at exactly 6pm yesterday (29/11/2013) after over 13hours of arrest and detention, without food or the courtesy of water.

He went through a horrendous ordeal in the custody of the SSS.

There was an attempt to force him to 'implicate' himself with prepared statements. He refused! After his arrest, he was searched to see if he had an equivalent of N5Million on me so that a charge of contravention of currency regulation could be brought against him.That also failed.

The major charge against him was that he expressed, on his facebook page, preference for military rule since President Jonathan is leading the country precipitously. How, in a supposed democracy that should entrench plurality of opinion, that should ruffle some feathers is left to be seen by keen watchers!

I must use this medium to thank all the good people out there, who have brought much pressure on the principalities in the land to prefer the culture and tradition of repression of the citizenry as a default governance of the affairs in the Polity.

The Almighty God deserves all the Praise that all through Emmanuel's travails, favour and mercy were not in short supply. The American Embassy also showed immense courage in asking that a man who holds the american passport be treated with utmost fairness.

Barrister Bamidele Aturu, a Nigerian whose unquestionable thirst for social Justice, deserves much commendation.

The initial call in the morning was to his wife who passed the phone to him. The spontaneity of his response will continue to leave deep impression on me. And to all of you: the unflinching advocacy and condemnation of that show of turpitude by the SSS, clearly showed that all is not lost for Nigeria. Indeed, the multifarious pressure from the various segments drastically reduced the detention duration from 30 days to a little over 13 hours!

I do hope that this sordid saga will be laid to rest completely and not discourage Nigerians in diaspora from stepping into the land of their nativity.

I thank you all.

Rotimi Fashakin (Engr.)

taharqa: Do you have proof that the man was 'arrested' because he 'insulted' the President??

taharqa: Yr head correct....

Built2last: PDP is suffering cracks now which is better for them to restrategise early next year. my greater fear is the APC which will suffer implosion as the election approaches next year. Power sharing, party leadership structure and presidencial candidacy will implode APC.

Just watch and see.

Idi Amin: I thought he has dumped his Nigeria citizenship for Benin Republic so why raise alarm. Come, Festus Anumanu Keyamo, keep yourself busy with useful issues
