[size=13pt]Is there no way anyone can caution this man to stop drawing the Yoruba nation on the ground?

What is all this?

Is this the result of having a showman (Dele Momodu) as a friend?

The departed Ooni and the late Emir of Kano were long time friends and business associates, it was not this type of slave-master relationship. Even at that, their affairs were more in private than these public show of docility.[/size]

seunmsg:
[size=13pt]It goes to show that the Ooni stool as grown from just being a Yoruba obaship position to one of national importance. The position is so important that the choice of who mounts the throne next is now a national concern. [/size]

The above notwithstanding, I personally disapprove of the campaign methods of prince Aderemi. The ruling house he came from is not eligible to present candidates in this particular contest, so, his candidacy is not valid. He should stop lobbying politicians to help him bypass the existing rotation policy.

Abi iru ki wa leleyi bayi o o Eledumare?

You people can come up with just anything to justify subservience.

Did Sanusi himself pay visit to anyone in the South West publicly like this before his selection as Emir?

Now that you have elevated the stool to 'Ooni of Nigeria' where are other princes (of the other ruling houses you mentioned) going up and down? Can we see their pictures?

When tomorrow, one historian in Bayero University comes to assert that the Ooni stool is determined by them will you come out here to dispute that?[/size]

[size=13pt]Is it the same 'omnipotent' Buhari we are being told needs protection now?

When did he become a weakling who requires protection from mere mortals?

How can a god need protection? How can anyone bring down the government of a 'supernatural'?

Is there another Buhari we don't know or does this guy just choose to be a m o r o n on his own volition?

This guy must thoroughly be investigated. This is what they do when they've ran out of ideas. Trying to justify 'dullardry' with senseless insecurity claims.

Oga or Madam writer(s), paranoia will not help you, Buhari must live and fulfill all his promises, in less than 100 days 'we are already experiencing the Nigeria of our dreams', no single hair will be removed from Buhari's head.

He must live, you people cannot plunge Nigeria into another round of savagery in the name of power. Anyone wishing, praying, planning for Buhari's death at this time and subject Nigerians to unending bloodletting will meet with utter ruination from generation to generation.

Only God knows how many people the bloodsucking savages will slaughter because of this paranoid, totally deranged writer's claim. What they planned but couldn't achieve during transition is being tried now when there's relative tranquility politically.[/size]

BekeeBuAgbara:
This is what Bishop Kukah talked about, he advised Buhari to face work and stop chasing shadows but Apc supporters started insulting the gentle man.

[size=13pt]They are putting all their hope in their messiah. It won't be long before they know how far[/size].

KoloOyinbo:
So this guy does not believe in looted funds? The totally honest PDP regime did not rip off the country for the last 16 years? Where has he been living? Which Nigeria?

When you are used to democratic changes of government and how the world actually works you will realise that even in the west (used to normal changes of power) it takes at least two years for a government to progress beyond the policies put in place even by a honest predecessor in power for 4 years. This government must contend with 16 years of corruption.

Have this discussion in a reasonable and realistic timeline!

Welcome to democracy!
Welcome to the real world!

(100 days - what mumu would expect that to be a realistic timescale? OH - a mumu who did not believe corruption was rampant in
Nigeria - obviously!)

[size=13pt]
Is that not why they appoint those who will assist them in time in order not to waste time unnecessarily?

Are you adjusting the 'timescale' to two year now?

We will wait it out. Any amount of time you need you must have it so you won't give any excuse that time was what you lacked.

If you like give a hundred year 'timescale'. We are here. [/size]

You are still here dreaming.

Where will you run to now? The prognosis is not looking good really.

It seems the dullard is even using style to give up and admitting his lack of capacity. Imagine he is calling on the ELITES for assistance. The same elites he has been smearing?

Nigeria not a rich country – Buhari http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/nigeria-not-a-rich-country-buhari/

How will you his disciples do it now? No money; the treasury is 'virtually empty'; the country is not rich, and now it's looking like American is not 'willing' to 'help' trace and release the 'looted' $150bn with them, even though they have 'given' the list and the account numbers to Adams Oshiomhole.

How will you guys have your monthly N5000 now?[/size]

No one yet on Tinubu's political sponsorship has ever failed.

If you know one please point them out!

Saraki's trouble is internal demons in his own spirit. They have led him to defy the #1 and #2 leaders of the land. In addition he is at odds with the ruling party. Do the maths....Tinubu is the least of his troubles.

ORACLE1975:
The question is credibility. President Buhari got elected on the over whelming desire of Nigeria for the rule of law and end to impunity. Saraki has a pending serious corruption allegation against him and his wife. Saraki presidency of Nigeria senate is a national embarrassment. APC just like PDP is a combination of evil doers and saint wannabes.
Saraki and David Mark represent the selfishness and corruption of our government in totality.
Tinubu is not a saint. But he represent the possibility of the changes that are possible. The change in government today were the result of all members of the APC family.
One man stood out for special thanks for the original strategic management of the master plan, that man is Tinubu. Tinubu and Buhari were the combination that brought about the change we have today. For better for worse APC is in power..
Saraki lack of understanding of public relations and respect for constituted authority shall continue to land him in hot water.

ALL HIS 2015 SECRET RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING IN CUSTOMS TRAINING COLLEGE KANO
EVEN HAPHAZARD 2015 PROMOTION INTERVIEWS. WHERE 1900 OFFICERS OF THE SAME RANK ( ONE STAR'S) WERE MADE TO SLUG IT OUT BECAUSE DIKKO WANTED TO PROMOTE HIS CANDIDATE'S WHO ARE JUST ONE YEAR OLD COMPARED TO SOME 5 YEAR OLD OFFICERS.
BUHARI SHOULD PROBE THE ILLICITLY CONDUCTED INTERVIEWS.

[size=13pt]That's what Buhari is known for. He asked for the registration of his kinsman but suspended another person for a similar 'offense'.

phyllosilicate:
I could remember how Okonjo Iweala was shouting how Nigeria was broke, how Nigerians should tighten their belt because of the falling price of crude oil and that Nigeria would borrow to be able to finance the 2015 budget. But in just 3 months almost 60% of the Budget has been generate just from petroleum products alone, not including revenues generated internally and other export.
IF THIS MUCH COULD BE GENERATED WITHIN 3 MONTHS WHEN OIL PRICE IS ABOUT $50 PER BARREL, WHERE WAS OUR MONEY GOING TO WHEN IT WAS $110 PER BARREL?

[size=13pt]Ogbeni, do you people have any analytical skills at all?

This is the figure for the entire country. The money goes into the federal account for the entire country. The federal government budget of N4trn is just a subset of the the total figure.

This is part of what the whole country shares. The federal government plus the 36 states and 774 local governments. You would have to add all their budgets together for better understanding.

And the report stated the percentage of shortage compared to the same period last year. Will you just open your eyes and read before you jump into hysteria?

Why is so difficult to comprehend simple things for you guys.

Okonjo-Iweala's assertion was recently corroborated by your dullard god who said all the notions of Nigeria being a rich country are false.

Why are you people so easily deceived with figures. [/size]

[size=13pt]This dullard in Abuja lacks the capacity to comprehend democratic tenets. Placing everyone under security watch-list was the same strategy he used to ruin Nigerian economy for 20 months in the early 80's.

Now justices (even of the highest court in Nigeria), journalists, religious leaders, traditional rulers, students, businessman, political opponents and online contributors are reportedly under heavy security surveillance, not because they are aiding the country's foreign enemies but for doing their work lawfully, just because the dullard has nothing to offer.

How about putting the economy and Boko Haram under security 'watch-list' to save the citizenry from their acute despondency?

Nigerians will massively resist turning the country into a police state under any guise. We fought the military to submission, this is a battle Buhari can't win.

If the APC forcefully resisted the declaration of emergency in a war ravaged north east, there's no single justification for this surveillance program in a peaceful atmosphere. The same APC made a damning allegation of sniper sponsoring against the last government.

In a democracy, security operatives protect the people and not intimidate them. The judiciary should not be intimidated to pervert justice against Buhari's political opponents.[/size]

Well the constitution doesn't talk about ethnic groups but states. The drafters of the constitution recognize that the best brains do not live in one village.hj

[size=13pt]The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Section 14 (3)

"The composition of the Government of the Federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs shall be carried out in such a manner as to reflect the federal character of Nigeria and the need to promote national unity, and also to command national loyalty, thereby ensuring that there shall be no predominance of persons from a few State or from a few ethnic or other sectional groups in that Government or in any of its agencies."[/size]

Denn:
What does the constitution say as regards ministerial appointment?

Extract of the constitution- section 147
147. MINISTERS OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

(1) There shall be such offices of Ministers of the Government of the Federation as may be established by the President.

(2) Any appointment to the office of Minister of the Government of the Federation shall, if the nomination of any person to such office is confirmed by the Senate, be made by the President.

(3) Any appointment under subsection (2) of this section by the President shall be in conformity with the provisions of section 14(3) of the Constitution:-

provided that in giving effect to the provisions aforesaid the President shall appoint at least one Minister from each State, who shall be an indigene of such State .

Despite keyamo's argument that we are not mandated to have 37 ministers simultaneously from different states (fct included) but over the tenure of the president, it must be noted that the constitution requires the president to appoint ministers and ensure the appointment is distributed within all the states of the federation

[size=13pt]Pat Utomi is one of the many pseudo intellectual showmen we have in Nigeria. Their strength is in media interviews and other packaging not in any academic publications or thorough research that can help Nigeria.

Utomi calls himself a professor of 'political economy' without ever knowing what politics or economy means. How many intellectually oriented books has this guy written to add to the body of existing knowledge in his 'field'?

A so-called professor who can open his mouth so wide urging a confirmed dullard to go ahead and disobey the constitution of Nigeria. How can anyone who went to school at all be calling for a lawless action? Is Utomi now a supreme court justice interpreting the laws of our land?

The constitution was clear about ethnic balancing of appointments in the country. It is unambiguous. The same constitution went ahead to establish a federal character principle and a commission to boot. That is, it must not only be obeyed, the principle must be enforced. These were as a result of past experiences which led to restiveness and frictions in the polity.

Does this 'professor' know what inclusiveness mean? Does he realize that he can't even try that in his own village in Delta much less his local government? Nigeria went through a civil war sparked by complications arising from issues like this. For God's sake, a region threatened (and they carried out the threat) to make Nigeria ungovernable because of 'marginalization'.

Who awards professorship to this kind of fellow? What exactly does professor of political economy mean?[/size]

Five minutes of rompy sex has bought a career academician an accommodation in prison. Now he is to pay a whooping 250k for bail excluding the legal bill by his attorney and the disrepute as well as the fact that his job would most likely be on the line.

250k could have given him a steady supply of campus girls if he chooses to live a loose life.

250k could have repackaged his wife and made her more sex appealing. Now he is to pay the money with pains and without thanks.

Goons thinking with their dick from time immemorial

[size=13pt]Oga, it's a bail bond.

They don't pay immediately if at all it's necessary to pay.

That's just the amount his surety pledged to pay to court if the accused failed to show up in court (if he 'jumps bail').

It's not like the 'bail is free' type of our friends in black.[/size]

bushdoc9919:
The argument you make is a good one. It is also the reason why we have never been able to fight corruption effectively in Nigeria since Independence.

You Nigerians, the minute a corruption probe begins, you shut it down by saying that ''Why should they probe our son?" Indeed.....we should probe as many people as possible. But we have to start from somewhere....and we have to accept that it will be a time consuming process.

But to answer your question as to why they should probe your son....perhaps it would be better to point out the fact that should your corrupt son be found guilty....it may mean that the corrupt is replaced with the incorrupt...meaning better things for your region/tribe.....and perhaps may stimulate more tribes to get rid of their corrupt leaders....

But then again....this is the country where a corrupt governor who is in jail has people praying for his release because......

[size=13pt]Let the probe begin and less of talking.

In four years time, Buhari himself would be preparing for prison, this time in his old age.

No matter who takes over from Buhari after his tenure in 2019, even if it's Yusuf his son, he will still be probed.

Successive administrations always blame the preceding ones, it won't be different in Buhari's case. All his Sai Baba slaves wont be able to save him. By then, they would have been pauperized by his policies that they would be shouting for another CHANGE.

There's something in Buhari's destiny that attracts prison; he sends people to prison and he is in turn sent to prison. [/size]

As far as the clown is not in charge and his circus of criminals have been rendered jobless, Nigeria can only change for the better.

[size=13pt]Maybe you don't know, some people's definition of Nigeria getting better does not include waiting for Buhari's government 'unemployment' bailout of 5000 naira MONTHLY.

Some Nigerians are actually independent of government handout.

Mr Man. When you forget something, there's nothing you can do about it until you either remember or you are reminded. Human memory do fail.

Admit you are human. It's a virtue to admit one's mistakes and limitations. It will only earn you respect and adoration by reasonable people.

You said you couldn't remember when last a minister of state for petroleum was appointed from 1999 and you were gently reminded. Instead of you to take the reminder like a man, you jumped to a spiral argument about OPEC which was clearly out of the way.

StOla:
I can see I was talking to a moronic pork.

He said he does not know what manner of subsidy is being paid because he refused to accept that we need a cash subsidy system to even sell imported products locally.

He finds it appalling that we have to pay a subsidy at all.

You and your family are already living the curse of having Buhari lead this country well. That curse will never depart from your family. The more the country progresses the more sorrowful you shall become.

[size=13pt]You will probably die in your slavery if you don't get deliverance fast.

Even if they report that Buhari beheaded your parents you will still publicly defend him for doing that. You will tell the world that your parents deserve to be beheaded by your god because he is 'leading your country well'.

Pathetic! [/size]

Bluetooth2:
It was because Obj made himself the minister. Did he ever lead Nigeria outside the country to perform the duty of a petroleum minister ? NO because he won't be recognized !

So the whole responsibilities still falls on the minister of state. Was there anytime we had both ministers as cabinet members ?

[size=13pt]Good you remember now.

Your memory malfunctioned earlier.[/size]

StOla:
He refused to acknowledge what the present government of that time could not even articulate convincingly to anyone with a calculating mind.

That it even exist shows that the government has been short-changing itself.

Wait for Buhari to unveil his model for the importation of deficit oil we cannot refine locally, then you will admit that the subsidy as it existed then was a fraud only served to a misinformed president surrounded by brilliant thieves.

[size=13pt]You are a cursed liar!

Buhari said he didn't know what subsidy stood for.
