"To look at us as Muslims and ask us to vote Peter Obi is the biggest disrespect.

The person we clearly know never liked us, we knew exactly what he did to our people when he was a Governor.

Campaigning for Peter Obi in the North belongs in the dustbin" pic.twitter.com/Z8282oOe39

Judemarco31:
Stop spreading false narratives, I support the Bill, most of the preachers and those hawkers creates inconveniences and discomfort to travellers. In developed countries you won't see such but it is only in this part of planet that we claim to be more Christians than Pope but our atrocities are nothing to write home about. Even Bible made us to understand that there is time for everything.

FSBoperator:
No be only.

Even your Obi is against resource control and he made it a cardinal campaign point to northern politicians and elders in Arewa House .

Why did no single SE state join Lagos, Rivers and Delta to take FG to court over VAT collection and sharing formula?

You guys contribute nothing but nuisance .

FSBoperator:
Which oil and gas production is going on in your SE?

Stop confusing the entire SS to be part of your Biafra .

Richtaiwo:
Be specific and stop mentioning the South as a whole because you can't speak for the entire South. Simply say South East, then tell us how the North is leaching on your South East resources.

FSBoperator:
There's hardly any production in the SE .

That place is dead .

Primary suspects are the Muslims in the Army, and Police.

90% of them are most likely sympathizers to terrorism due to their religion affiliation.

Hopefully when you become rich, you will get a lesson teacher that will help you with spelling.

Neoteny:
No child is government property. The government's interest does not go beyond whether a crime was committed in her death.

They ought to call it coroner's inquest and not an autopsy, especially given the hazy circumstances of her demise. The the inquest could reveal if she died a natural death or otherwise; if cause of death is indeterminate or foul play is probable then an autopsy may be recommended by the coroner to establish actual cause of death.

The inquest should involve anyone who was around her close to her final moments, including the principal of the residence, i.e. the minister himself.

He should have acted like the drug baron who lives in criminality and given them tickets even if they did win in free and fair election
That is why SE will never vote the drug baron because we uphold integrity and not criminality

You just confirmed everything the guy said in the video.

You people are something else!

Lithiumite:
Which obstruction does frsc remove......you have state traffic management agencies like lastma,trace,EDSTMA etc,you also have the police which still has a traffic unit in every state...... FRSC standing on the roads obstructing free movement is an aberration under the law.

Cj4charles:
Imagine how a human can lie.... and the police have not started making arrest? Now imagine this happened in a poor man's house, and tell me where the man will be by now... different laws for different people, we really still have a long way to go as a country

They Presented The Girls As If They Are Runs Girls, These People Were Inside The Plane With Me- Umahi

Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi has expressed his displeasure over the portrayal of Mary Habila and her colleague who were on official medical duty at his residence as runs girls.

Speaking on Symfoni TV, Umahi said, "I don't want to dwell on it too much, because I'm mourning, it is like losing a daughter. And I laugh when they call her a physiotherapist. They presented these girls as if they were runs girls. These people were inside the plane with me and my immediate staff. We flew together. It is not as if they even came separately. We all flew together to Lagos. And this was not the first time," he said.

Sen. Umahi also revealed details of Mary's final hours, based on an account provided by her boyfriend.

He alleged that the boyfriend said that while in Lagos for a conference, Mary called him to say she was bleeding from the nose.

According to him, Mary's boyfriend advised her to report to her supervisor, knowing the supervisor would insist she seek medical attention but Mary reportedly did not want to be a burden, and instead looked for a nearby hospital on her own.

Umahi said he has since asked the police to retrieve her call log so investigators can establish exactly what was said in her last conversation with her boyfriend.

MrPresident1:
You have no data on the most corrupt or redundant. The FRSC has reduced carnage on our roads. That is a fact.

Stop making sweeping generalised basesless staments without concrete facts and statistics
