software man: But at least Jonathan's transformation agenda has completely transformed the country. !

or you want to tell me you are not breathing the fresh air already?!!

I breathe the air alryt, and it is filled with toxic gasses from my generator and those of my neighbors!

Fresh air my foot! Which president says something like that as a campaigne gimmick

Imagine the pittance, yet we operate a bicameral system and have over 40 ministers with their respective retinue of aides, assistants and advisers!!!

Sick country with sick leaders!!

Seems the presidency is in it's harvest season of lies. From the first lady to ministers. So pathetic.

Thesame folks that ought to bring glory to the country are thesame people bringing shame and disrepute to the country.

Olugbenga Ashiru claimed Amnesty International
apologised for the content of its report.

Amnesty International (AI) has refuted the claim by
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olugbenga Ashiru,
that it apologised to the Nigerian Government for
‘factual errors’ contained in its 2012 report.
“When amnesty was here, they said they were sorry; if you are sorry, you say it outside, let people know. I have given them the invitation to come and open an office so that when they write, it will be factual,” Mr. Ashiru said on Tuesday at an international conference on “Human Rights, Human Security and Conflict’’ organised by the Institute of Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR) in Abuja

Responding to PREMIUM TIMES enquiry regarding Mr. Ashiru’s claim, AI Deputy Africa Director, Lucy
Freeman, said her organisation is “deeply
disappointed.”

“Amnesty International has never – publicly nor
privately – apologised for any of the contents of the
report and stands by its research, conclusions and
findings, 100 per cent,” she said.

“In a meeting with the Attorney General in Abuja on
1 August 2013, Amnesty International reiterated its
concerns about grave human rights violations
committed by the Nigerian security forces and
received assurances from government that it was
conducting investigations into them,” she added.

Instead of spreading falsehood, Ms Freeman said,
“the government should be demonstrating its
commitment o human rights by investigating
credible and serious allegations of human rights
violations by its security forces.”

Mr. Ashiru’s claim sounded curious at first because AI had published a statement last November in the
wake of Federal Government condemnation of the
report.

“The attack by senior Nigerian officials on an
Amnesty International report that documents human rights violations by the country’s police and military is a diversionary tactic – shooting the messenger when the security forces should really be concentrating on putting their house in order,” the statement read.

“The Nigerian government and the security forces
should recognize that the population will not be truly secure until everyone in Nigeria can be confident not only that the risk of attacks from Boko Haram has been reduced, but also that they will not face human rights violations at the hands of the very state security forces mandated with their protection,” the statement added.

The roach is back from his sabatical! Welcome!!!

And wtf is political about this

Mr Aboki: Amaechi should give the following conditions for negotiation;

1. The President must stop being a bitcharse and stop sponsoring Wike and the likes.

2. Patience Jonathan will never step another foot in Rivers State for the duration of their tenure. Even if the President in on an Offical Visit.

3. CSP Mbu must first be made to face an Orderly room trial and then dismissed from the Police without benefits..

4. Bipi and the other 4 that tried to unseat him must kneel and kiss his ring and call him 'Godfather' on Natioanl T.V.

5. From henceforth, whenever the President has beef with him, he must call him and talk about it like men, instead of acting like a cvnt and bitching..

I concur!

MightyThor: Why wont they reject it? they know what they are getting for doing practically noting and in true Nigerian Fashion they rather continue with it than effect a change to suit the current economic situation of the Country.

They feel that they are being made the scapegoat? Now they have started pointing at other excesses in the country, real typical Nigerian, they use others to justify their own exccess,

Ogene explained that the idea was laughable
because the N150 billion allocated to the National
Assembly was only a small fraction of this year's
N4.9 trillion national budget.
“Rather than blaming the National Assembly for the
poor finances of the country, the questions that
should be asked are: Why do we need up to 40
ministers? Why do we have up to 10 aircraft in the
presidential fleet? These are the issues that should
be taken into consideration instead of saying that
one arm of government should be shut down,” Ogene
stated.[i][/i]

Imagine this Guy,
so you know that 10 planes are too much for the presidential fleet? (Yet our Petroleum Minster still charters jets for official tours,SMH what a waste)

So you know that 40 ministers is too much yet you say nothing?

So you know that 150 Billion for the National Assembly alone is a fraction of the yearly budget for the whole country, yet their are Infrastructure to be developed, Agriculture and Education are stagnant among other problems yet you are happy taking a "fraction" for your pockets!

You compare your selves with American Congress, did you compare the economies of both countries as well? whereas they can afford to the extravagant (which they are not) we can not afford to be, yet the greed of our National Assembly will not let them propose a reduced salary scale, rather they will take till there is nothing more to take again.

I hope Oby continues to propose such radical ideas, maybe, just maybe if we try it it will work. They should get their lazy a$$ of those heavily padded executive chairs and do other things with their lives. They can even get some practical feel of normal day to day activities of the ordinary masses. That can even help them propose better people oriented laws and bills in the house.

I WONDER IF THEIR SALARIES WERE DRASTICALLY CUT, IF THEIR WILL STILL BE A MAD RUSH TO GET INTO THESE POLITICAL OFFICES?

You've sed all I wanted to say and more. Spot on!

Like hobby, like wifey!

Omexonomy: you this idi0t what i am trying to prove is that they are all thives (gej and fashole) fighting for their pocket not for the mases. M0r0n death is the last thing i will wish so i sh.i.t on ur head.

Pele.

In summary, you just told us Boko is Haram!

Biggest dunce I'd ever seen!!! Tufia!!!
Somebody just raised some very serious questions and the first thing you do is to bring an ethnic dimension into it!

I spit on your grave in advance.

BrightCar: YOU ARE VERY NAIVE. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION OF NIGERIA?

See Ode with capital 'O'!!

cachal: Pej and Jang has the same mental disorder, they keep calling everyone their son.. Amaechi carry on Jare.. ignore this good for nothing noise makers..... so he should leave his primary assignment and pay you a visit so you can snub him abi!

U dey mind her? Not every Nigerian is ready to caress her overbloated ego.

Amaechi did the right thing.

chilecharis: I don't think people should still fight even wen issues like death comes up...Amaechi i smell heartlessness in u oo! if u r PEJ and ur own state Governor behaved like Amaechi,tell urself d truth,u'll feel bad.

Why would he visit her
Her Ego is like a big visible tumor on her face!
He doesn't wanna present her with a grand oppurtunity to make herself seem like she's his Jesus on earth!

He damn right did the right thing!

If I ever get a change to preside over this country, the first bill I'd sponsor would be that making creation of any "office of the first lady" a treasonable offence!

taharqa: It was actuali written about 3 years ago in 2010, just b4 d last election. And NO, it is still very Current; d points, and d HYPOCRISY, I mean..... Abeg Bros, Excusu me, make I laugh small

Wanna know the actual definition of that word, ask Aniko Briggs and Asari Dokubo, and Doyin Okupe, and Oh, the King of all, REUBEN ABAtI!!!!!
















When you are done doing all that, take a look in the mirror and smile....you'd see another smiling right back at you.

texaco1: He is useless and he has nothing positive to contribute again other than inciting and inflammatory statements.
What did he contribute to elimination of boko haram and to putting a stop to their activities

And what use is your father, and your extended family put together, to the country

Old decomposed article!!!

Recently, he was queried by journalist over his new romance with Buhari et al and his response was that only a fool wouldn't change his opinion when faced with new hard facts!!

Mods, I duff my hat for you guys! Smh.

Demdem:
Did u read the part where he applauded Amaechi for ensuring the independence of the judiciary and enough finance for the states judiciary?
My best guess till I hear from the govt, they were not invited or better still the evil wike stole their invite

Where did u get ur story from? When did Amaechi ever had issues with NJC as regards what u stated?

Leave all those PDP e-janitors. They can only but decieve a few.

taharqa: So because Ameachi failed to Impose his choice as d Chief Judge of the State, and was correctly overridden by d NJC who insisted on following d setdown rules to appointing Chief Judges, Ameachi decides to boycott a State Judiciary function. The Executive completely boycotting d State Judiciary over failure at try to controlling it- now, that is something I hv NEVER heard of b4 in d chequeched history of obodo Naija.....

I bet you were still a foetus when Jonathan brazenly refused to carry out the recomendation of the NJC to reinstate the suspended ex president of the Court of Apeal. Thesame NJC that recomended his suspension which the president carried out with the speed of light!

I believe in you peoples' books, not showing up for an occasion, even though attending such or otherwise is one's prerogative, is a more serious offence than disobeying a judicial virdict. I'm not too suprised though given how you guys succeeded in turning maths on its head making 16 greater than 19 and 5 greater than 2/3 of 32!

Something you "hav NEVER heard of" indeed!

There's no diference between her and her hobby. Little wonder he cant call her to order. They are both utterly vindictive, petty and unbelievably childish.

I'd hold my tongue until im sure this is not another big white elephant with huge tusks strollin past enugu enroute lagos.

Yungwizzzy: they could not afford #92billion where did they get #400billion from??

In naija, 19 is less than 16. And 27 is less than 5. It therefore follows that 400 is less than 92!

payless: She came to deliver the message to .....President in Waiting................. (fill in the blank)

Fashola is the annointed candidate to......Flush out Cluelessness and Mediocrity from Nigerian Polity...........

Am i right?

In other news, executive looting continues...

Gbawes: Amaechi please shut up already, we're tired of you. You can relocate to the SW and please take Chidi with you.


Don't forget the mace. Thanks.

Shameless semi-imposter.
