The Federal Government on Tuesday extended the Eid-il-Fitr holidays to Wednesday and Thursday.

This is contained in a statement issued by the Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau in Abuja quoting the directive by the President General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, the Sultan of Sokoto, to the effect that the ‘Ramadan fast continues today (Tuesday) as a result of the non-sighting of the moon’.

Dambazau noted that the Federal Government has now declared Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th July, 2016 as Public Holiday.

Civil servants and workers in good companies will savour this news. How about me? Mixed feelings!

Not at all. The wailing wey I dey observe so worse pass headless chicken own so don't bother

Like I told you in march 2015, I voted GEJ and he disappointed me. The presidency is a marathon, not a sprint and buhari has till 2019. If he does same, by 2019, I'll burn my voter's card and bid goodbye to participation in Nigerian politics

May be you should just burn it now. To be honest even though I want it differently, I have not seen any sign. The direction. Every action is actually a reaction. All baseline actions have worsened the situations on ground.

GMB does not want opposition. Any opposition to him is opposition to his "fight" against corruption.

A government without a credible opposition...

OBJ is my kinsman but he did worse to the opposition than pmb has done. It was so 'good' Tinubu was the only one standing and we know at what cost to him and Lagos.

The problem is that PDP is useless as an opposition. I made the following statement on a thread on April 1st 2015

"Opposition politics is dead in Nigeria because those gifted in it have been pushed to the centre"

PDP is the reason why buhari looks like an untouchable. You're doing propaganda and you're mixing halliburton case of 1994 with igate case of 2006 to 'nail' Aisha?? Geez!! What idiocy?!!

I also predicted in April 2015 that the real opposition that will shake buhari will arise from within apc (forget saraki abeg) if things don't truly change. I might yet be proved right

As for burning the card, I've bought matches. I'll wait 6 months more to see if I'll buy petrol

OBJ was attacking opposition within and without. He did not spare his party members. This guy sees APC members as untouchables. Burantashi's case is the latest. Ontop Burantashi, they are asking UK to help them confiscate Amosu's properties in the UK.

PDP as opposition was doing well until Olisa was arrested. Their style was civil. The remaining voices in the PDP have been arrested and siege has been laid around Fayose. You don't need a magnifying glass to find a skeleton in the cupboards of a Nigerian politician who has been in a position of authority.

So the incumbent can dismantle any party especially when the party has been in power at the centre.

Anyway sha, a man who is 73 years old, and got his certificate 63 years ago (1953) is very smart. He got his waec certificate at the age of 10. I believe he should be able to sort Nigeria out

I will give you fuel at the rate of 500 naira per litre

And PDP was justified to lose their senses because olisa metuh was arrested for receiving stolen funds? Do you know how many years Frank Kokori, Shehu Sani, Lam Adesina etc stayed in prison for doing nothing but complaining about tyranny? I really don't blame olisa and co. They were chopping for 16 years. Jail isn't nice.

My friend, as a class monitor in secondary school, I never wrote my own name or close friends names in noise maker's list. Did u?let's stop pretending buhari is meant to be an angel. What would you have called him if he turned on Amaechi immediately he came in? Hero or traitor? Your anger isn't that he refused to catch Amaechi the thief. Your real issue is that he didn't give you a reason to laugh at Amaechi

Donald Trump is 70, Hillary is 69, Sanders is 73. How old did u say buhari was again? My dear, leave trash for lawma abeg.

If pmb was OBJ, Fayose would be in jail and Wike would have been ejected no matter how many rivers indigenes died or judge is assassinated. Buhari still dey learn work.

As for fuel, I'm very happy buying at 143. Keep your supermarket fuel

Firstly, You did not get the gist of the 73 stuff. It is not about age. It is about getting his waec at the age of 10.

I was asenior prefect and my friends hated me because I spared no one including my boy who was supposed to be immuned.
Where I work now, my friends respect themselves when I am involved because they know, there is no sacred cow in my books.

I did not talk about Amaechi. It is a more difficult one. I talked about Burantai AKA burantashi? We are talking about a man who rode to power on the back of Integrity. These excuses should not come. Unfortunately, I don't like to derive joy in the misfortune of another but Buahri should have lived up to his name. I would have been singing his praise and no person would have complained.

Why is Burantashi having a field day? Why is that no one said anything about Fashiola. Tinubu is a god in this government and he is very smart and covers his tract anyway...

But there are clear cases he would have taken care of to establish his maigaskya tag

Agaba, you're forcing me to do defensive work. I can still picture buhari wearing a sky blue babariga with kwankwaso sitting by his right saying before the TV cameras trained on him that he got his waec 53 years ago. Where did you see or hear 63 years??! These kind of childish propaganda portrays the 'opposition' as grossly unserious!

Really, the Burantashi case is neither here nor there while Amosu had clear cases of funds diversion under him so what's the point? I'll read up the Burantashi matter tomorrow to get the full gist because I've really being sad about the country to care.

I always laugh when you guys keep crying about Tinubu. A man left political office 8 years ago during which gej was president for 5.5 yet its buhari you expect to dig up dirt on him? What stopped GEJ from taking him down? After all ibori was dealt with.

Sorry for using the class monitor analogy. I forgot we were discussing Nigerian politics. I told you about that mai gaskiya issue then and I asked you whom you expected him to work with even if he was Jesus Christ. Buhari isn't a saint and this point was well trashed between us before the elections. What stood him out from.others was that he had opportunities to lay a stupendously wealthy future for himself and family (like Danjuma, Babangida etc) but he didn't take them. That quality is rare.

Were u actually thinking he'll take the bait and turn on his supporters? Relax agaba. This isn't a romantic movie.....its real life. There isn't one unencumbered Nigerian that could have helped buhari get the presidency. Let's get real. He had to work with the devils that were available.

Even God had to partner the cruel pagan king, Cyrus of Persia to help rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. The beautiful ones are still not born you know?

What should bother you is whether FFK, metuh, amosu, Baden etc received stolen funds or not. When PDP comes back to power, I expect them to help us retrieve whatever APC crooks steal/stole.

No bro, I am not forcing you.
May be you did not see the caption about Buhari receiving his classmates of 53 set and a picture to go with it. if you want the picture I will show you. You can google it anyway. If he said 53 years ago, it is part of the inconsistencies.

I agree with you that no politician is free. I even said that in my last post. Which is the reason why it is laughable he is fighting only the APC PDP.
Burantai is not a politician but the story is that he benefited from arms money just like Badeh and Amosun. He was accused of owning 2 houses in Dubai. The army did not deny that rather in his defence, the said he bought them with his savings. How laughable?
Later, the Army said that it was those officers who were forcefully retired because of armsgate that made the revelation so that they won't go down alone.
Why is the EFCC not arresting Burantai?


GEJ's method of corruption fighting was blocking loopholes. He was building institutions. Buhari is here to self serve without thinking of what is happening under his nose and what will happen when he is gone. By the way, I said it would be difficult to nail Tinubu. If you touch him, a whole lot will go down.


It is always funny when you say he did not acquire wealth. How can you say that when he has refused to declare his assets publicly like he promised.

The statement he made about his asset before election was different from the one after just 2 months down the line. He is not an honest man sir. You should have known that and so many things point to that fact in this present administration.

Someone wrote this on facebook.

.....With due respect, it is now clear that Buhari does not even understand Nigeria. It is now clear that being a fine, firm and battle-winning soldier, free from apparent corruption and drive at achieving the good for Nigeria, all by yourself, all in your wn view, is nothing other than self serving.......

The highlighted is it. He is better than others in concealing his corruption. Even he did not acquire as much as Danjuma, of course he had no oil well like Danjuma, he had so much more than people knew about. He is embarrassed to let people know he had deceived them into believing he had only a house in Kaduna, one in Kano that he borrowed money to build and a mud house in Daura, when in actual sense he had upto 5 houses in choice areas and even a plot of land in PH...

TBH, I have no sympathy for those guys as a person. If they did not conspire against GEJ, they would still be free today. Imagine if such monies were released for the election? Nigerians are buyable and you know that. Even in the North, such monies would turn heads in PDP strongholds. No they wanted to keep the money to themselves and I am happy they are in for it.

You see agaba, even in your obvious dislike for the man, you should know when tabloids make errors about 'facts'.

If Burantashi partook of the armsgate, I expect info on how much he received and how to be all over the news media now. More than enough wikileaks outfit in Nigeria. I only hope its not like your famed $300k matter?

the famed "goat and yam theory" I guess? Agaba, don't make me laugh. Building institutions by giving Dasuki the keys to the treasury? Building institutions by converting Fidelity bank to oil sales clearing house? Why were you and GEJ scared of the 'lot that will go down' because of Tinubu? Is Nigerian destiny tied to his balls? You and others with your unhealthy fixation made Tinubu the enigma he's become today.

My dear, money that can be concealed so well in this 21st century is not money. Did he convert this money to cowries and bury them in an evil forest? I thought you guys see him as a dullard? How come the dullard seems to be wiser than all of you in hiding evidence?

You'll soon make a legend out of buhari with this your fruitless and untiring search for his hidden billions

Agaba, the Hausa cobbler who uses his money to buy a standing space in a dirty cattle truck for a 15hour trip from PH to kano to vote for buhari CANNOT BE BOUGHT. Which conspiracy? GEJ was beaten fair and square. The fact that we we are for sale in the south doesn't mean same in the north. I lived and worked in the north so I know.

Its we the enlightened ones that refuse to accord importance to elections but are the loudest crying when things don't go our way. You must beg and pay a southerner to register. You must cajole and beg him to go collect his card then pay him to vote for his candidate. Udengs Eradiri, the former IYC president said folks in Bayelsa were asking money from him to go collect their voter's card TO VOTE FOR THEIR SON!

Oga, You will always have a counter argument for whatever point I raise even when you know it is the truth. I have answers to your dogo turenchi but I no get strength to type it here. It won't change your nairaland mind even if it will touch your soul. Buhari case don taya me. In fact e don even taya you. He will continue like this until only the fulani moslems can shout sai baba. Good luck..

I hope I am wrong for the sake of the common man.

You're getting it wrong. Its not about having counter arguments, its about correcting wrong notions.

What is the truth about saying buhari said he finished Secondary school at 10years old in 1953 when the fact is that we all know he was in the 1961 set and he's repeated it (and even his set mates have) several times while newspapers too have published it?

You're right I don tire for buhari on some of his actions and inactions and you know I admit this even in our off Nairaland chats. However, there's a difference between criticism from a genuine interest in progress and criticism from rabid hate stemming from ethnic and religious bigotry and I'll never be part of that kind of group no matter their prospects or goals.

Those who criticize out of hatred are free to continue but I trust you don't believe the idiots who assume every buhari online supporter is Yoruba or every Yoruba man supports buhari or every Igbo or ND man hates buhari? Also don't believe the imbeciles who assume all Igbo wish the country disintegrates or all Yoruba support one Nigeria.

Whether Nigeria falls or succeeds, GEJ is enjoying his life and buhari will enjoy his too. Its the citizens that'll be left to pick the pieces or share the dividends so every sensible adult must wish the country success for our sakes. I've always known you subscribe to this idea even if we disagree atimes.

The beauty of democracy is that every man is at liberty to hold a different view or opinion.
