Politics / Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by OOA1979: 3:56pm On Jan 26, 2019
socialmediaman:
The President’s action of suspending the Chief Justice of Nigeria and swearing in of a new CJN in acting capacity unambiguously constitutes a removal of Justice Onoghen from office (whether temporarily or permanently) as the Chief Justice is no longer able to perform his constitutional duties.

Now, I understand that ‘smart’ people are trying to equate this to the suspension of Sanusi during GEJ’s tenure as president. Do you realize that in this case, The office of the Chief Justice does not report to the Executive arm of government?

Now, see what the constitution clearly states in Section 292, subsections (a) and (b):

The president can only remove the Chief Justice of Nigeria under one or two conditions:

1. Recommendation from the National Judicial Council

2. Voted by two-thirds majority of the Senate


Someone please tell us which of these 2 conditions occurred?

Is Buhari not truly a tyrant?

Your ability to search for the relevant constitution showed me you understand English ,
The President did not REMOVE , he is SUSPENDED........
So where did he break the law.

To suspend the CJN over allegations of misconduct? Buhari has the right...... But not to impeach
Since he has no decency to step aside for justice to take its course.

Politics / Clarion Call On The NORTHERN YOUTH by OOA1979: 11:51am On Jan 20, 2019
*SB JAMIL WROTE:*

*ARISE NORTHERN YOUTHS, ARISE!*
.
Call me a cyber bully but I must say the truth one more time.

Most Northern youths are like the kindergarten pupils, our brain is so fixated into believing one thing.

Our leaders made us believed that 'A' is for Apple alone.

Whenever you approached us with your 'A' for Aeroplane, we protested.

Just tell a Northern youth that a 70year old is enough for him because he has money or some sort of phoney 'Integrity'.

In reality he lacks the contemporary ideas of leading a modern world.

Northern youth would believe you and kill for the cause.

At a time when the Southerners are preparing their best brains for the future.

At a time when Southern youths are sponsoring Sowere's campaigns.

At a time when Fela Durotoye's Church is sponsoring his campaigns.
At a time when Kingsley Moghalu is being groomed by the Southern elders.
The North is stagnant as a statue.

The South is always 5 steps ahead of the North in terms of human and infrastructural development.

The debate that features Fela Durotoye, Kingsley Moghalu and Oby Ezekwesili yesterday would further convince you to the latter.

Up North, when an intelligent and courageous Ahmed Buhari summoned courage to lead this uncommon agenda to run for the highest seat, his fellow youths were the first to cast him out.

They'll swear by anything that he can not lead because the elders said so.
We've seen their (Northern elders) best performance at their youthful ages. Very agile and fast to respond to issues.

Yesterday the world saw three Southerners debating in a contest that must produce a Northern President. Yes, a Northern President!

We can pretend all we want but zoning still exist in our political space today.

Take it to the bank, 2019 presidency is zoned to the North.

Northern youths need to wake up. Enough is enough.
We must wake up from our slumber and secure our future so that posterity might speak well of us.

As for me I am voting for Ahmed Bee Buhari in the February 16th, 2019 presidential elections.

I urge my Northern youths to see reasons and join the struggle.

Arise my people, ARISE!

Its no more a news that as much as PDP is agitating for debate. They are only interested in the APC Presidential candidate becos of their knowledge of his slowness in speech which is the major ingredient for debate.
I expect them to show their superior plan by engaging the likes of Ahmed Buhari the name sake of the incumbent that has broken the ice pulling the veil off the stage for young aspirant to know they can make a difference, Tope Fasua who is vast in knowledge of the economy , Sowore who might come to stage with information good enough to bury the ambition of Alhaji Atiku the PDP candidate.
Who is really scared ? And what are they really scared of

Politics / Breaking News:presidential ELECTION 2019 by OOA1979: 6:12pm On Nov 12, 2018
People have asked the new politicians to come together and work on this project.

Many people believe that if all young aspirants can come together they will be able to defeat the oldies.

I have a slightly different opinion.

Even if all the new aspirants/candidates unite, we are still not sufficient to defeat the old politicians.

This is because to rescue Nigeria is not a one-sided affair. It is a collective. Everybody will have to agree to work on this project and work on it together.

The call must be on everyone regardless of ethnicity, religion, political party ideological affiliations, gender parity and age bracket.

I can never castigate the old on resolving Nigeria's issues. We all have our fair share of the blame.

However, we need a renewed hope, believe and dream. To make this work, we need to present new ideas to be driven by new politicians who will be completely guided and guarded by our laws and in total submission to the masses.

I want us to also know that not all the new aspirants share thesame ideology and political approach at resolving some of these challenging realities bedieveling our nation.

Dr. Peter Obi coming to the North and the West to campaign?* *What an insult?

I think we are making some progress, a few months ago Emeka would never have sent a unity campaign message like this. Thank God the emergence of Peter Obi as Vice Presidential candidate in the Zoo is beginning to change the narratives.

Unity of all the peple of the country is good but when campaigns for election start in earnest, the candidates will move across parts of the country to canvass for votes. I wonder what Obi will tell the Northern people especially the Hausa and Nupe Muslim community why as a governor in Anambra he decided discriminate against them by demolishing their markets, like the Northern Goat dealers Market , Arewa Park , Arewa Onion Dealers Park etc
Many people aspiring to become Nigeria's next president are not just on a great quest but also a selfless and brave one.

Unfortunately, most of us only understand the Nigeria situation from a certain view point.

You cannot be in Lagos and think you know Nigeria. Neither can you be in Sokoto and believe you have a general overview of the complexities of our challenging realities.

Below is an excerpt from my interview with Daddy Freeze of CoolFM 96.9 Lagos as we discuss; Religion, Cattle herders and how we can leverage on our comparative economic advantages.

I don't have all the answers but I am willing to work with all those that can sincerely work on this project to get us out of this quagmire.

When he goes to Yoruba Land he will have to explain a similar action too at
Osogbo Park , Akure Park and Ilorin Park.

These parks at Bridge Head have been in existence since 1977 but he decided to demolish them in an attempt to force the non' indigenes ' surrender their businesses to indigenes.

As a popular and influential trader himself in Onitsha he instigated people not to lease or sell their land to non indigenes.

The Sultan Sa' ad Abubakar and Etsu Nupe together with the GOC 82 Division personally visited and pleaded with him to give them time to look for alternative places but he refused. The demolition of all their business structures and six Mosques were carried out. Many of them had to relocate back to the North.

A lot of the people of Yoruba community especially the Kola Nut dealers had to leave too.

There is another person who tried to intervene, a certain Minister of National Planning from North West. He was a deputy governor in CBN. One Yoruba Muslim cleric who leads prayer at Uga Street Mosque, Fegge area in Onitsha was in Mecca performing lesser Hajj and was in the same company with the then Minister of National Planning, he was complaining bitterly about the discriminative stand Obi was taking around that time.

With crude at $80/bbl and exchange rate at N305/$? (special fx by FG for importers)

A barrel of crude is about 159 liters of crude.

Just dividing the $80 (N24,400) by 159 liters already gives a price of N153.4/liter without any processing.

So, by the time you factor in refining and transportation costs, THERE IS NO WAY the price will come as low as the 85/90 naira price PDP are claiming to reduce the price to.

But the unfortunate blockhead yoots won't see thru the lies but keep screaming Atikulooting.

Politics / 2019: BETWEEN Buhari , Atiku & Ahmed Buhari by OOA1979: 11:57pm On Nov 02, 2018
If we truly love Nigeria, I implore all of us *- both Pro & Anti Buhari -* to calmly, digestively and honestly go through this submission. Its from a friend's




This is a spot on essay : *BETWEEN BUHARI AND ATIKU: The Nigerian reality*

Posted By: A. Adaba On: October 21, 2018 In: News, News Update

There is a battle for the soul of Nigeria. Whoever wins this great battle will determine whether Nigeria breaks away from the past and becomes a truly prosperous and value-oriented country or we continue with our philosophy of survival of the fittest, pretending to be a giant economy based on weak economic fundamentals.

I will like to begin this article in a rather controversial way by submitting that Nigeria has no economic problem. What many “experts” and social commentators have glossed over is the fact that our economy has for many decades been driven and inflated by the proceeds of corruption.

A report, titled “Collective Action on Corruption in Nigeria, a Social Norms Approach to Connecting Societies and Institutions,” revealed that close to $400 billion was stolen from Nigeria’s public accounts from 1960 to 1999. The report further added that between 2005 and 2014 when PDP was in power, over $182 billion was lost through illicit financial flows from the country. We may therefore be talking about an economy that has been driven by about $1trillion of illicit money over 5 decades, if we add the private sector corruption.

The Nigerian economy is simply now contracting to a level devoid of the heavy inflows from corruption and unethical business practices, which over 80% of the population have grown used to as the norm. We failed to lay a solid foundation for a sustainable economic growth and even destroyed the economic foundation laid by our heroes’ past. Most of our industrial estates have been converted to religious estates, our comparative advantage in agriculture has diminished. Our huge youthful human capital we were proud of has consistently deteriorated in quality.

If truth must be told, what we urgently need in Nigeria is national reorientation that will be hinged on Lifestyle Adjustment Program (LAP), especially by the so-called “elites” and “middle class” in the society. We have developed a weak middle class from a very faulty and weak economic structure, primarily driven by massive supply of money from the proceeds of corruption and with high velocity which made almost every single person in Nigeria a beneficiary of the culture of corruption. We have created multi-millionaires and billionaires from the proceeds of corruption and a good example is Alhaji Abubakar Atiku who is now vying to be the President of Nigeria. At the base of the wealth of a significant number of the middle class or elite class in Nigeria there is proceed of corruption or unethical business practices. The impact of these on the economy is beginning to reduce because of the necessary adjustments being made by the current administration and it is causing the personal wealth of these classes of multi-millionaires to reduce and the same impact is felt across all spheres of our national life. Corruption is no longer at the scale that it used to be, and we are all feeling it and throwing tantrums.

Over the decades Nigerians have been used to unmerited and unjustifiable income. You do a supply contract and make 500% profit. You import substandard products and make 200% profit. You don’t import any petroleum product, but you collect government petroleum subsidy. You win government contract, collect mobilization fee and simply abscond with it. In all of these, the “elites” also evade tax and levies in every aspect of their economic activity. Government has been used to unaccountable free money from the sale of crude oil without thinking, without adding any value or without being a good negotiator. Doing business with government offered the greatest return. The proceeds of corruption trickles down, the multiplier effect is amazing, and the citizens benefited from it one way or the other while we destroy the future because we fail to create a real middle which class which is the backbone of any economy. We all felt cool with the situation and hoped that our own “breakthrough” would come someday.

This situation made many Nigerians to live far above their means. We build houses we don’t need, we live in neighborhoods our real income cannot afford, we send children to schools we cannot afford. We throw needless lavish parties, we buy cars we can ill afford under normal circumstances just to impress. We spend lavishly on imported goods. We create a large population of “runs” girls by throwing ridiculous money at sexual and social pleasure. Everybody in Nigeria wants to “belong”, at any cost and with speed.

Rather than pay tax, Nigerians pay huge amounts as tithes and offerings from proceeds of corruption, hoping to bribe God. In reaction to the huge revenues recorded by religious centers, religious leaders build huge structures that require a huge amount of money to maintain. We produce more churches and pastors than we produce SMEs. The religious leaders pray for the congregation to have “extraordinary breakthroughs” in an economy that is not extraordinary. Pastors buy private jets and live luxury lifestyle from the proceeds of the tithes and offerings from “breakthroughs” which is often corruption. This is being threatened. Little wonder some of these religious leaders are now in camp with certified corrupt and immoral persons to bring back corruption.

Even the high rate of crime in the country is part of the consequences of decades of corruption. It has created a huge inequality in the society that it has become survival of the fittest. This was the country PDP left behind and the foundation upon which they built our economy. Unfortunately, shame is making most of the so called “elites” and “middle class” Nigerians not to accept the reality of their current positions and are therefore unwilling to adjust their lifestyles.

What has come to fore now is that the government of President Mohammadu Buhari has significantly reduced the flow of funds from corruption which is the foundation upon which all our economic and social activities were built. That is what PDP and the nay-sayers define as “incompetence”. Buhari is simply not “competent” to allow the country to be run as usual, he is not “competent” because he has refused that money should be shared and not invested in critical infrastructure. If we genuinely love this country, we would support the continuation of this administration so that we can all come down from our high horses and do a lifestyle adjustment program (LAP) which would make us live within our means as decent citizens while we push hard to grow our economy with solid fundamentals.

Undoubtedly this process of breaking from the past hurts just like every healing. We only need to endure and think of what is in our collective long-term interest. Our current socio-economic orientation is not how quality nations are built and this is what makes PDP’s rule for 16 years a calamity of unequal dimension in the history of this country. If we go back to that era, in a few years this country would be unsafe for all of us. Our future as a nation will be in danger.

The choice in 2019 is a choice between President Buhari’s deliberate strategy of correcting the faulty economic foundation which over the decades was significantly driven by proceeds of corruption or electing Atiku and returning to the era of massive corruption-based economy with all its risks and consequences which includes lack of proper justice, unsustainable socio-economic lifestyle, survival of the fittest, a society largely divided along the line of oppressors and the oppressed.

Buhari’s strategy requires reorientation, requires the moderation of lifestyle by many elites who have become oppressors of the masses. Buhari’s strategy is for the long term good of all, especially the oppressed, the weakest and the most vulnerable in the society who should not continue to survive on the crumbs that fall into their hands from the huge amounts being stolen but enjoy decent infrastructure. The huge inequality which we witnessed in the era of unfettered corruption breeds no good.

It is difficult to trust Atiku and his associates who have invested substantial amount of money obtained through proceeds of corruption on his obsession for power since 2002. Our foreign reserve is growing. We cannot afford to leave that in the hands of desperate, self-centered and vicious capitalists. Corruption will be more sophisticated if Atiku becomes president. He is a business man whose first objective will be to recoup his investment and stabilize his businesses and that of his associates. They will be more focused on themselves and a few that are fortunate to be close to them. Yes, the crumbs will trickle down and everybody will be happy in the short term, but that is not the way to build a nation.

Atiku’s restructuring claim is deceptive. It is simply a ploy that can only be swallowed by the uninformed. The Executive arm of government can do very little on restructuring based on the nature of our constitution. It is the legislature that can make it happen. Painting himself as Alhaji Restructuring is a sign of dishonesty and desperation. We simply need a National Assembly of people that understand the issues in Nigeria, people that are willing to make sacrifices and are committed to taking this country to a higher level. Atiku was hand in glove with Bukola Saraki to make this 8th Assembly a clog in the wheel of implementation of the programs of the ruling party APC. The executive can only recommend to the legislature it cannot on its own cause restructuring to happen through executive orders. Nigerians can only trust Atiku at their peril. He will throw everything at this election just to get access to our treasury and our commonwealth and recoup his investment. He’s in it for the money.

The calamity visited on Nigeria by PDP for 16 years can never be transformed in 4 years. The progress made by President Buhari may be slow but it’s better slow than reckless. I’m indeed genuinely very worried about Atiku presidency. He’s a business man who sees politics as business. Nothing in Atiku’s history suggests that it is his love for Nigeria that is driving him and his associates to invest so much of illicit money in this obsession. It’s simply a business decision for him.

We need to start rebuilding our economic foundation for the future by first reducing the influence of corruption on our GDP, which became significant during the military regimes and continued to grow under PDP. This is the only way we can know the real value of our economy and begin to lay a solid foundation that would ensure sustainable growth and prepare a great country for the coming generation. President Buhari has done very well on that. We must understand that it is impossible to eliminate corruption, we can only gradually reduce it. The big achievement is to continue to reduce the volume over a period, reduce the scale and get it to a level that it becomes less attractive.

The second step is massive investment in infrastructure. I am particularly excited about some of the projects of this administration. The Lagos/Ibadan rail project, for instance, which is planned to link up to the north via Kaduna is impressive. Such projects lay a solid foundation for general prosperity. If this had been done 10 years ago the multiplier effect of not doing it will not be haunting us today. With that rail line comes new investment opportunities, real job creation and increase in disposable income.

Indeed, turnaround management is not an easy task. It requires patience. President Buhari, being the chief driver of Nigeria’s turnaround also need to make leadership adjustment and quickly too. There is the need to be more decisive in the areas of security and national orientation. The negative publicity of the President and his administration emanates from what he has done or failed to do in these two areas. The President needs to rejig his executive team. The National Orientation Agency needs to be revived, redirected and well-funded. You cannot succeed and sustain this type of turnaround management without a virile national reorientation campaign. That is the biggest error of this administration and I hope and pray it will not come to haunt it.

In all, a President Buhari is a better fit for our current challenges which are more socio-political than economic. Atiku is too desperate. He cannot lead the change from our past culture he is a major beneficiary of. We would simply be the laughing stock of the world if we make a certified and well documented corrupt person the President. Atiku carefully chose his running mate, another capitalist that would gladly look the other way in matters of corruption. In 2017, Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano alleged that his predecessor, this same Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013. Is this the type of combination we want to entrust our future in their hands? The good news is that nobody in the PDP camp has accused President Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo of corruption now or in their past. Would we rather throw this value away and opt for people with questionable character and wealth?

Let’s shake off the curse on this country once and for all. We should not be carried away by what Atiku is saying. His former boss, Olusegun Obasanjo has documented his appraisal of Atiku in black and white and the whole world has read it. *Nobody knows Atiku better than Obasanjo, notwithstanding his unconvincing “forgiveness” of Atiku. Obasanjo’s well documented objective appraisal of Atiku is simply that he is not fit for public service. Nigerians beware!*

We need a fresh hand, I submit we need Ahmed Buhari

Politics / Re: 2019: ‘i’m In The Race To Win, Not Splitting Any Votes’ – Oby Ezekwesili Insists by OOA1979: 11:14pm On Nov 02, 2018
19Ebisco:
The presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Obiageli ‘Oby’ Ezekwesili, has reacted to claims that her candidacy will only result in splitting votes originally meant for the big political parties.

Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education rejected this notion, saying that her presidential ambition stands as a credible alternative to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“I don’t know why anyone will think it makes sense that I’m here to split votes. I am here to answer the call of majority of Nigerians who are living in abject poverty in the midst of abundance. I am running as a credible alternative to the Siamese Twins of failure that the #APCPDP represents – that is precisely why I am in the race be President,” Ezekwesili said.

“It is high time the ruling elite know that they have a fight in the hands – and the fight is not against me – it is against the hundreds of millions of people out in the streets with no assurance of food, shelter, and other basic amenities. That is the fight that they are in, and I can assure you that they – Nigeria’s failed leadership – cannot win,” she added.

There are insinuations in some quarters that Ezekwesili’s involvement in politics is a ploy to split votes in favour of certain presidential candidates, a rumour that has been denied by the former Vice President of the World Bank for Africa.

Ezekwesili’s insists her campaign is positioned as an alternative to the two main parties which has continued to exhibit incompetent leadership and grand corruption in all its activities.

So if a thief change his name it's good enough for you to consider him ?

Probably a Buhari family member too ashamed to join his uncle in apc.
This is part of the reason we are where we are , The third paragraph clearly wrote KONTANGORA NIGER STATE, NORTH CENTRAL ....... Isn't it clear enough it's just a name. Maybe all Evans are related to the Evans the kidnapper?
Let's intelligently Google his name and know his antecedent...... I just did that now

It is a noble idea, however, it will be the most Foolish step to take at this material time.

If you are a righly knowledgeable student of Politics and History, You'll understand that all other political parties are regional. That is, they lack the appropriate national structure, and resources to to grab central offices.

Don't let emotion get in the way of your meticulous thinking. Weigh the REALITY.

I suggest those new parties and individual concentrate on expanding their structures, creating the needed frameworks and carrying out extensive consultations. and recruitment of members and followers.

Politics can't be played by emotions and sensations.

Nice observation but, we are the national face and requirement for this parties. If we start discussing this other options and leave out this old brigades. They will go home. We are the Change we require
