Don't blame the media aides bro. We all know they are professionals. PMB I think didn't read that part, he was actually free styling when he made the blunders.

There is really no excuse for this blunder I swear down..

It is well though.

PMB will make all Nigerians proud at the end of the day trust me...

God bless Nigeria

GogobiriLalas:
What a hero, what a champion! May God bless this woman...and for all of you opening your cowardly mouths to insult this girl, may the suffering of the people of Zimbabwe be avenged on your head and that of your weak generation.

MaziOmenuko:
She ended the show to give her time to step up to international journalism. You have no idea how many international news houses have contacted her to be there eyes and ears across Africa since after the confrontation.

That single event has shaped her career for good.

spenca:
I can't believe you just said this , it is none of the worlds believe if BOKO Haram kills everyone in Nigeria then. Journalism has no bound. FYI Mugabe didn't close the show she decided to stop because she couldn't handle the emotions of words she got from people

haqueurate:
Its really ok, that judas is showing up early. At least we know he is from his father (pdp), we need to quickly ldentify the rest of his cohorts so we can mark them as anti progressive change and keep them were they belong. We know they wont roll over and let the masses win, nope they need to keep the country failing so they can continue to rip us off. The extremely wealthy, selfish and corrupt politicians, trying every thing to keep the status quo (coup inclusive) but time has changed, we are watching them in 3d ( this no be clueless regime). Let them start raising yeye bills or deliberately block babas progressive laws and see

biafransoul:
Bro, you're so wrong.I am just saying the bare truth and not playing the ostrich like most of my brothers from the SW. Who sent the security that barricaded the National Assembly , Have you asked yourself who called the meeting, who sent the letter that the senate should be convened by 10 am and who eventually was absent from the meeting??....... We know the game being played but you guys are so 'sophisticated' and will never learn. Please, help me tell Tinubu that this is not the local league anymore but the champions league. It was so funny that the much touted political genius crashed out at the preliminary stage.

callmenow:
This is party politics. There will always be power blocks. Buhari cannot do anything about it. But wait a minute. Apc was not a party as such, but a union of power mongers. I see a power struggle between ATIKU, TINUBU, TAMBUWAL and SARAKI for 2019 presidential election. I predict that ATIKU will attempt to use Pdp structures, as well as TAMBUWAL. TINUBU will be schemed out due to 'power shift'. SARAKI will be marginalised. However, SARAKI will become irrelevant when he is impeached before the next election. At the moment TINUBU is the most angry man in apc, because of buhari's attempt to sideline him and his group. Apc has ten men that can destroy the party if they chose. Remember that these men can buy up the entire judiciary before lunch time if they wish. Buhari has been betrayed and humiliated publicily by his people. Buhari has been showed to be a LAME DUCK President. Nigeria will therefore be a lame duck country. Buhari seems to be in office but without any power. At last people realise the 'change' they were spouting for.

lurther:
But Gbajabiamila was the arrow head of the emergence of Tambuwal in 2011.

So, Tambuwal could not reciprocate this kind gesture by Tinubu and Gbajabiamila when they needed him.

Hmmmmmmmm!

And they have been blaming the Igbos for their woes in the just concluded National Assembly Elections.

North and their Divide-and-Rule Politics. They destabilize the southern region knowing fully well that the igbos and yorubas are educated and sophisticated to always fight for superiority. When they achieve their aim of dividing the southern region, they use their high numerical number to clinch any position they want.

donphilopus:
You may call Saraki's emergence bravery, but I call that foolishness. Saraki can't lace Tinubu's shoes when it comes to Politics. Saraki shall surely regret his action. Let's see how he would head the Senate till 2019.

ideylaff:
You just done get it... Most of the stolen money is taken out of the country meaning UK will help trace and prevemt capital flight

Just allow the PM to land first na LOL

2n2k:
For posters querying the figures of 57 and 74, here is your answer

At the commencement of inauguration, only 57 senators were present. Since they were deemed to form a quorum, the clerk called for nomination to the office of senate president. Only Saraki was nominated and therefore returned un-opposed. There was no voting for the office of senate president. The 57 votes credited to Saraki are the numbers of senators present at that time, not that they voted for him.

After his (s)election as Senate president, he was sworn-in and the process of nominating and electing the deputy then began. By this time, more senators-elect had come into the chamber to increase the initial 57 to 74 and they participated in the election of the deputy senate president.

Rotimi47:
Lie! Malaye lied as he and Saraki had planned it along with PDP members, how will you say an election is legal when many members Have not been sworn in? Is there no specific time for all the members to be sworn in? There is but they didn't wait for that time to laps. What they did will soon bite them sooner or later.

softwareman:
Dino should ask himself a simple question. Why is PDP and its supporters celebrating?
I have a guess.
THEY CAN SEE THAT TO KILL A RAT, THEY SET THE WHOLE HOUSE ON FIRE. RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE TOO BLINDED TO SEE THAT HAVE CAUSED GREAT DAMAGE TO THEMSELVES.

ayindejimmy:
This man should just shut up and watch his back.
51 APC senators were not present but 20 APC senators voted Ndume? So he doesn't know simple Arithmetic again. Does APC have 71 senators?
What happened was an APC senator nominated Ndume but the APC senators President didn't vote for him. Including this traitor

donphilopus:
This man should just keep shut lest thunder fires him. He 'dashed' out the Deputy Senate Presidency slot to PDP and he's here blabbing. The respect I used to have for Saraki and Dino Melaye has just diminished. I love the way Ndume was treated. He never knew Saraki had met with PDP Senators to offer them the 'Deputy Presidential' slot. He thought he had played fast on his fellow APC Senators to emerge the Deputy to Saraki. He may have dumped Saraki by now since his 'supposed' slot was freely given to Ekwerimadu and Saraki is in for a long thing.

The PDP Senators should know that they were the greatest losers yesterday. Out of the 57 Senators that were present at the hallowed chamber of the Senate during the 'sham' Election, only 8 of them were APC Senators. If a PDP Senator had moved a motion to nominate a fellow PDP Senator (say David Mark), he would have won the contest hands down and Saraki would have felt betrayed by now (which would have gladdened my heart). Saraki betrayed their trust in him when he defected to APC, he also betrayed APC's trust when he shunned the meeting convened by the President at the ICC and went to the floor of the Senate, they (PDP) should have also betrayed him by electing a PDP man as Senate President. I would have preferred it that way. PDP goofed!

Maxymilliano:
Robert Clarke is on his own ...



Dethrone Saraki at your peril.

omonnakoda:
Let us forget Tinubu. I believe Saraki would probably have won at the Plenary.If he can get 57 votes he would probably win.But he appears too desperate and has shown he lacks integrity.We have had enough of all these sorts of gimmicks.How can a new senate start day one on this note and the country pretend everything is okay. Buhari would be naive to allow such a precedent stand because they would use the same magic to impeach him one day. What all reasonable Nigerians want is an election by the full senate. A senate president that gets there by these crude means can be expected to pass legislation in the same way. we saw this in several states and are hoping to put a stop to it . The Senate situation is quite different from the House of representatives. It is totally immoral and I will leave lawyers to debate legality but we do not want any more of this PDP magic.
The way to put Tinubu in his place,which I support by the way, is to disgrace him with a clean vote. Saraki has history of betraying even his own sister and has sold his inheritance for a bowl of soup. I do not see him lasting a year

omenka:
Hahaha. I see you've toned down your rhetoric from that of unparalleled confidence to cautious optimism.

What happened on the floor of the Senate yesterday was the mother of all illegality, and if Robert Clerke could say so, then indeed there's a big case to answer. Saraki himself knows he isn't home free yet.

When I pointed at Enwerem's case and Okadigbo's yesterday, you guys called me a fool and a sore loser. Here's someone of immense wisdom by all standards validating my position.

The next few weeks are gonna be quite interesting.

*Ps: Enough of the Tinubu this and that. This isn't about Tinubu, it is about the law. Must the law be broken in such brazen manner simply because one wants to spite Tinubu?? You guys should start thinking like adults for God's sake.

sweetgala:
GEJ did not fix Lagos Ibadan express way, may sango punish you for such an absurd lie.

That road has been in a poor state for over 20 years , and the contract was awarded as far back as 2005

abdulwastecx:
saraki is even more yoruba than say a yoruba man from ekiti.
ilorin is an outpost of old oyo, people oilorin speak undiluted yoruba language.

Bukola father is an opportunist that is not an indigene of ilorin, he came into ilorin to learn arabic from Ogun state.

Yes saraki is 100% a yoruba man

raumdeuter:
This is what happens when some people are averse to knowledge.

You first stated that the name Saraki had no meaning in Yoruba until I took the pain to educate you.

Events that happened over 200yrs ago

Do you know that 200yrs ago there was no city in the place called Ibadan today. Yet today over 2 million people point to Ibadan as their homeland did these people drop from heaven? Didn't they migrate from somewhere before they started reproducing?

There are many people of Yoruba ancestry living in Ghana, cote d ivore, northern nigeria for over 100yrs and have assimilated into the local population and some still associate with their Yoruba ancestry.

The people of Yoruba ancestry living in Brazil today are they Brazilians or Yorubas?

Is Emmanuel Adebayor Togolese or Nigerian?

But check the link below and search for Saraki in it

Who is Yoruba? Oduduwa himself was born outside present day Yoruba land.


Where your ancestors 200 years ago came from doesn't matter. Most people migrated freely in those days

I know many people who according to history their ancestors came from far to settle and become indigene today.

There were many exchanges between ancient kingdoms

In some part of Oyo and Kwara state there are people whose ancestors were hunters and marabouts from Bariba and Songhai empires

There were many interactions pre independence between yorubas and people north of the Niger that's why our dressings are similar even certain words in both languages

raumdeuter:
Saraki doesn't sound same as Pataki

One is do-do-mi the other is do-do-do

I'm core Oyo and with deep understanding of Yoruba

Saraki means important person like Gbajumo

In a sentence: Gbogbo Awon Saraki ilu Ibadan lo people pejo sibi igbeyawo Ojo ATI aina
