Engine caught fire!!!
This aircraft flying locally are disaster waiting to happen.
After 2 heaven and he'll experiences I have committed myself to ABC, Chisco, GUO and bonny for now. No local flight within Nigeria for now

Lawyers walking out on a Judge?!!!!
Are you sure they are lawyers?
Did they know why they bow to a judge and why he is called 'your lordship?
Those lawyers have lost it. Desecrating the judge and in its entirety the Judiciary which they are a major stakeholder.
they should have been guided by one of the pronouncment from one of the appeal court. Judges that the CCT ought to have continued the trial AS LONG AS THERE IS NO INTERIM INJUCTION RESTRAINING THE CCT

It is like a sergeant walking out on a general .
Woe to that sergent

The very height of wailing!!!!

tochukwuifeduba:
African must be liberated from mental slavery impose on them by white supremacist ..why is it too hard to accept that God is from Africa race??

Blasphemy!
Did you say 'God' ?
Ok your god is igbo, this Biafra nonsence has exposed your naviety and foolishness.
My God is omnipotent, omnipresence, omniscience.
My God has no end nor being, he DOES NOT BELONG TO ANY TRIBE OR RACE, YET ALL TRIBES BELONG TO HIM.
Please kneel down now close your eye and start asking for forgiveness. Do it right now or hell fire is beckoning.

Chanchit:
See as wailers run enter this thread, well you guys need some encouragement news like this, so enjoy it. Though its a lie sha, there's no new party any where. The only new party is PDP as you've all seen their new name. Atiku has Always been an Outcast in APC so he can go ahead to start PDF abi wetin dem call am.

God bless you my bro. Even the wailers know it's is a lie. Handwork of Atiku and PDP

Bugatie:
Their aim was to oust Jonathan by whatever means possible. Now they have power, they seem confused of how to use it.

Your username though

Wailing wailers.
Why cry more than the berived.
Tinubu is not complaining, even the SGF is thanking Tinubu for getting the job.
Tinubu is a nationalist, wise and selfless leader.
God will continue to bless him.

BlackrulesDworld:
Seccession is what will need in the zoo, its obvious we ain't one.

Ironically it is your kindred that have decided to Zone it to the North. It's show you are OYO

Beremx:
It is called "car sickness" o! I always have the nausea feeling anytime I travel a long journey but I don't vomit all the time.

Next time you wanna travel,take a tablet of Avomide before boarding. It will not make you vomit.

You are right it is called motion sickness it happen especially travelling during daytime. Avomine tablet will help

Dasini:
I totally disagree with some of these nomination, dogara shudnt be on that list, same with saraki and even president's wife. There are more powerful people, movers are shakers that deserve to be on this list bt omitted. Even the positioning are wrong. How can saraki be more influential than tinubu and obasanjo. Who knows dogara, aside the speakership, even Osinbajo, these guys are just building profiles. If u place them in top 20, I agree. Outside kwara state, saraki has no influence. I stand to be corrected many Nigerians know dangote than saraki. Having a political post does not make you powerful than some people. Influential people may not necessary have political power. We've seen people who were never in any office but wierd absolute power and influence, that the political office holder stil lick their asses and bow to them. Who carried out this survey? I totally disgree, it is a concorted for selfish reason.

My brother I agree with you 100%. Saraki and Dogora are living in delusion grandeur if they think this is power. Even Ameachi welds more power than Saraki. Abdulsalam is more powerful than GEJ.

Ops you don't know PMB at all

I have never met him, but the way he came out as mouthpiece of the opposition in the last election shows he has got real substance.
Under intense pressure, intimidation, harassment he was calm, articulate and focused.
Even the PDP spokeman Olisah Metuh cannot hide his admiration for him.

BALLOSKI:
He won't go that far just to dorge extradition.

Come off it, he had gone further to escape arrest in the past

Sarakii and PDP are still using the same old tactic of blackmail and divide and rule. It game over for them.

This story is about the monumental corruption the happened in the hey days of GSM in Nigeria. This story has been floating around the internet for a few days now but none of our media deem it fit to publish considering the names mentioned. A quick background before I post the original story:

Strive Masiyiwa for those who don't know is the Chairman of Econet Wireless - a Zimbabwean and one of the richest men in Africa. He is a staunch Christian and one of the very few African businessmen who do business the right way and invests largely in African countries. ECONET Wireless for those who don't know, was the first GSM network in Nigeria and the first GSM call in Nigeria was made by Mr Strive Masiyiwa himself. For most Nigerians who has been around since the beginning of the GSM revolution, ECONET Wireless changed to, Vodacom then to V-Mobile, afterwards to CELTEL and finally Bharti-Airtel.

Here is the backstory by Strive Masiyiwa (PART 1 OF 4):

It’s time to play by a different (ethical) set of rules (Part 7) Nigeria 1
___Sometimes the price can be very high in the fight against corruption.
I had the privilege of making Nigeria’s first GSM phone call back in 2001 when I called the regulator to say, “We’re live!” Who would’ve believed then that Nigeria today would have more than 167 million mobile phones?!

It all started out as a very exciting new chapter for enterprise in Africa. Shortly after President Obasanjo was elected, the new government announced an incredibly transparent international auction process for three national mobile phone licenses.
To participate in the bid, you not only had to raise money, but there had to be a member of the bidding consortium who was an experienced GSM operator. Econet Wireless met the requirements because of its experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Our Nigerian partners, which included state governments, local banks and high net worth individuals, were financial investors. The largest shareholder had only 10%. That was the written agreement.

I managed to assemble a consortium of 22 investors to put up the money needed to bid. Our shareholders were all Nigerian, mostly institutional investors including leading banks and two state governments, Lagos State and Delta State. The license cost us $285m and was the most expensive license ever issued in Africa at the time. This was 2001.

We considered the investment not only about putting together a network, but also about building a nation. We knew it had the potential to transform Nigeria’s entire business and social architecture.Most of our investors had between 1-10% shareholding. Econet Wireless Nigeria had only 5% of the shares, but that was fine because it was 5% ownership of a very big pie.

As the "technical partner and operator," Econet was the company with the expertise to build and operate such a business. Our financial investors recognised this, and also allowed us to receive 3% of the turnover as our fees. This was standard practice in the industry. We were one of the winning bidders and they gave us just six months to set up business and get our network operating. We were under a lot of pressure but our network was live two days before the others! Customers were pouring in. We were number one in the market with an estimated 57% market share.

Then came the fateful day when I was told that our company must pay a total of $9m in bribes to senior politicians (in state government) who had facilitated the raising of the money to pay for the license. I refused to authorise the illegal payments. Meeting after meeting was held to try to get me to agree, but I would not. The money would not be paid as long as Econet was the operator and I had signing authority.
James Ibori, the Governor of Delta State, was demanding $4,5m be paid to him in his personal capacity. He was one of the most powerful men in the country and had a reputation for violence. When he heard that I was refusing to approve payment he issued an ultimatum:
___"Pay or I will chase you and your people out of the country." I refused.

The shareholders met and voted Econet Wireless Nigeria out of management. They cancelled our management contract. James Ibori and his colleagues personally attended the meeting to remove us. After the meeting one of them (a prominent local businessman even today) came up to me and said: "Unfortunately for you, God does not have a vote." I had to withdraw all my staff and their families: 200 people in all. We left Nigeria.

Most of our people had to be retrenched. The loss of the contract almost drove us to bankruptcy as a group. They invited a big international operator to replace us as technical partner and operator. They changed the name of the company from Econet to V-Mobile.
Within days of their arrival, the managers of the new operator signed off the payments demanded as bribes. Then what happened?
A few noble Nigerians had both the integrity and courage to carefully collect all the documentation on the movement of the money, and pass it all on to me.

___There’s a saying worth remembering in uncovering the trail of destruction that is corruption: “Follow the money”…
I bided my time... then I wrote a letter to the United States Department of Justice!
It was 2003.

To be continued…

Abeg write to the EFCC and stop boring us with propaganda, don't distract our president

you just have to be a yoruba man or woman to understand than no matter what we know how to sort out our differences.

The truth is yes. But PMB has been begged by past heads of state and the Abdulsalam peace committee. Hence GEJ and Patience will not be prosecuted but will return some of what they stole.

Jorussia:
.fayose should go and bury his head in shame.He is has seen the handwriting on the wall that there is nothing he can do to stop fayemi's confirmation. fayose said he has called the house of reps members from Ekiti,to support fayemi's confirmation, we all know that the house of reps don't screen minister, so who is this loquacious media governor ( fayose)trying to deceive?

He spoke to house of reps and senators, please give the man some slacks.
This is why I love the south west politics
1- if you are good even your enemy will be at peace with you
2- if you are good the elders will mediate for you despite your mistake

When corrupt men ride the pulpit what do we expect
Saraki playing GEJ and PDP politics of religion and division. This strategy failed GEJ because God cannot be mocked.
Saraki your days are numbered.

You captured it so succinctly.

The problem is you want the good of Nigeria yet you say you want to be on your own
You don't trust yourselves and the other tribe you interact with you profess to hate them
You are not united and yet you want to break away from a united nation
You have not been exemplary in governing and caring for your own when you can be monitored but you feel that when you have sorvenity you will be better
You claim other people's land is a no man's land yet, your own land is not a no man land
Your investments are scattered in the land of your perceived ememy yet you couldn't have the courage to develop your own land will you carry the properties when you break
My submission is that this Biafran movement is a fraud, aim at the gullible to impoverish the undecerning.
Every one has it weakness so a you, because you are not the president hate has eveloped you
Because Nigeria had been lawless and impunity had rained you feel it must not stop yet you know that stiffer measures obtained elsewhere to enable the local economy to grow.
I stand to challenge Kanu and all clamouring for Biafran to give me 5 agenda that will sensitive accelerated growth of the region if they are on their own
My hat is in the ring....

Thank God it is igbos in diaspora. We at home that have felt the economic and mismanagement brunt of previous admin, like you our darling, amiable PMB. Continue the good. They stole money and ran out that is why they are spewing this trash, Please like you told those in Benin republic tell them not to come home or else you will deal with them. Anyway I know the good ones will know you are trying to build a nation like the one they ran to and are enjoying good amenities

Rexology:
Some people talk as though they are God. Your comment revealed your biter hatred for Saraki, but I have a bad news for you. They that wait for the down fall of Saraki shall be utterly disgraced, may God continue to give you and your likes long life to see Saraki soar like an Eagle.

No not at all my brother. Sincerely I don't hate him, to be candid I actually feel for him. maybe my objective part of me is overriding the other part. I'm being true to him. I will give my brother the same advise. No bad feelings

Postponing the evil day. This is not a legislative or solidarity war. It is judiciary and law which respect no one.
It is not because I like or don't like your face it is about towering facts and evidences.
Head or tail it will be difficult to survive. The die is cast, you've decided to fight till you could fight no more trusting God, your arsenal and luck.
Goodluck and let's see

Your intro was excellent but the body and the conclusion.... I don't know where to place it
Whar is your submission? That you are happy with the senators?
My own is time will tell, it will take only God for Saraki to survive on that seat. I see his political career as well has many other politician coming to an end when the corruption trial kicks of.
Both ways whether he resign or stay put Saraki will be humiliated, he chose the latter expecting a miracle and shifting the evil day

This is a new Nigeria.
Have you taken out time to read the charges?
Have you at any time from the inception of the charges heard Saraki deny or clarify any issue on the charges except when dock that he had to deny and we all know what lawyer always tell the accuse.
The persecutor is as grounded as Saraki 28 lawyers
On this one the evidence are towering and Saraki is at check, on this one it will be check mate.

I voted for APC during d 2015 election hopin dat they will transform nigeria,but i regrect doin dat becos Buhari nd his APC members hav nothin for nigeria nd her citizens.from one big mistake to ander worst mistake..infact Buhari is abig fool nd can not b in any compared to jonathan.i think Buhari should just enroll in adult education beco he has nothin u upstairs

On what basis are you making this submissions? On the basis of hate? Can you truly swear that you voted for him? Please this forum is for mature minds

It takes a man who is not corrupt, or have no shade of corruption to face the world leaders and speak anti corruption.
PMB like an elder he his, giving other world leader advice.

Metuh is sleeping on a bicycle on this lone trip of his.
1- PDP is dead
2- he is yet to undergo a necessary 'Opposition spoke person course from Mohammed
3- his use of word shows he is too self centred and not in tune with the need of Nigeria
