Politics › Re: Femi Taiwo Responds To Reno Omokri's Allegation About Election Results Server by Reptyle(m): 12:48pm On Jul 16, 2019
livebyday:
How is that Savage?

You do understand what it means when someone asks you to sue them?

If Femi is certain let him sue

Why are you calling him names ? As an adult one expects more coherent enlightened responses and comments from someone your age

Who did he impersonate? You do understand what impersonating means right?

Why hasn't Femi gone to court to sue Reno for this so called slander ?

One thing I know fully well as someone who works in Tech , you cannot erase a server digital footprint and infact all works and refreshes and deletions leave traceable digital footmarks which is why Femi will never ever sue Reno
Why is Reno looking for someone to sue him? Isn't that diversionary and detracting from Atiku's case before the tribunal?

What is the aim of presenting his "evidence" on social media when he can simply share them with Atiku's legal team to bolster Atiku's chances of overturning the election results at the tribunal?

Ok lets agree with Reno that "Femi" is complicit in INEC's attempt to obstruct justice by "deleting a server". How does Reno's evidence on Twitter and his decision to wait to be sued help Atiku's case?

Let's also stretch further and pretend that we agree that the chap's decision not to sue Reno means Reno is right. Hurrah!!! I take it that means that Atiku will now be sworn in as President tomorrow right?

My brother, the truth is that Reno has nothing that looks like hard evidence anywhere. He is creating pointless drama on social media as a way of fleecing Mr. Atiku of his money

Reno is been clever by half.

That tweet that started with "For the avoidance of doubt...." is a technical play seeking to indemnify himself from possible legal implications of his lie.

The INITS guy was clear: I NEVER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANY SERVER USED FOR COLLATING RESULTS BY INEC.

What Reno is failing to tell us is exactly what the server he highlighted in his tweet was used for. Was it the server used to collate results by INEC?

If yes, then I doubt Reno will be presenting such evidence to fuel a media trial/campaign to sway public opinion. It would be presented in court to buttress Mr. Atiku's case that has been floundering so far.

If the so-called server highlighted on the tweets wasn't used by INEC to collate results, (and I suspect this is the case) then what is the point of Reno's "expose"huh

Mr. Atiku's entire case rests on one leg: which is that INEC had a server that recorded him as winner of the 2019 elections. INEC concedes that there was an initial plan to adopt electronic transfer of results which fell through at the end of the day. Bottomline: INEC doesn't have any server anywhere housing any election results. The onus is on Mr. Atiku to prove with concrete facts that INEC has a server...in court and not on social media like Reno and the rest of Mr. Atiku's army of "e-nfluenzas" have been trying to do since the elections were concluded.

Mr. Atiku made a sentimental appeal to the judiciary a few weeks ago, that they should feel and reflect the pulse of the nation in their judicial pronouncements. If he thinks this appeal is enough to sway the judges at the tribunal to overturn a presidential election, then he has another think coming. Judicial pronouncements are made on the basis of hard facts...not on the basis of the pulse of the nation.

People like Reno thrive in selling hot air and false hope. If Atiku isn't wise, people like Reno will keep riding on his ignorance and desperation to fleece him of his money and end up ridiculing him before the rest of the world.

Politics › Re: Herdsmen Convert Ondo Forest Reserve Into Militia Camp - Punch by Reptyle(m): 7:11pm On Jul 14, 2019
Staro:
Fresh facts emerged on Saturday that herdsmen have converted the Ondo Government reserve located in the Odigbo Local Government Area into a militia camp.

This indication buttressed the widespread claim that killers of Mrs Funke Olakunrin, 58-year-old daughter of the leader of pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, were herdsmen who sneaked out of the reserve to rain bullets on the vehicle she was travelling in.

Olakunrin was killed on Friday as the gunmen ambushed vehicles on the highway and abducted some commuters. Her maid reportedly sustained some gunshot injuries during the attack.

Killers of Fasoranti’s daughter have their base in the forest, say villagers

A former senator who represented Ondo South Senatorial District at the Senate, Boluwaji Kunlere, said hoodlums had been operating around where Olakunrin was killed for a long time.

He said this in an interview with one of our correspondents in Lagos on Saturday.

Kunlere said, “I beefed up security in the area when I was in the Senate. I gave 13 Hilux vans to the police divisions in Ondo South Senatorial District and gave motorcycles to the Department of State Services for surveillance.

“I think the police do not have the manpower to ensure adequate security in the area. The expressway (Benin-Ore-Sagamu Expressway) is where the major problem is. The spot (Kajola) where they killed Baba Fasoranti’s daughter falls between Odigbo and Okitipupa Local Government territory.

“The people living close to the area said Fulani herdsmen had taken over that area and there was a time a bishop was abducted and the police rescued him in that area. Herdsmen are all over the forest. We see them between Omotosho and Igbotako. They graze their cows on the road and strike and they run back to the bush.

“They have been operating there for long but the attack on Baba Fasoranti’s daughter was given a wide publicity because of the man’s influence. The downtrodden have been suffering there for long. There was a time that they exchanged gunfire with the police between Omotosho and Ore in the afternoon and they ran away when they discovered that the police would overpower them.

“When they attacked Chief Olu Falae’s farm then, the police said it was bush burning because of the fear of Abuja. They want to attribute this killing to armed robbers but the locals are saying the killers are herdsmen.

Some residents of Kajola town in the Odigbo council area who spoke with SUNDAY PUNCH insisted that some Fulani herdsmen terrorising the area were residing in the forest in the area.

One of the residents identified only as Mr Ola said the herdsmen behaved as if they were above the law, adding that it was not the first time they would perpetrate the act in the area.

He said, “They destroy our farms at will. Their cows always eat up many of our farm produce. We have reported several times to the police but no action was taken. We heard gunshots yesterday (Friday) and it is a common thing in the area. We call on the government to provide adequate security to protect our lives and property.’’

Also, a farmer in Kajola village who gave his name only as Mr Aliu, also said bandits had invaded forests surrounding the village.

He said there had been many criminal activities going on in the forest and nobody stopped them.

Aliu said, “The herdsmen that struck on the expressway yesterday (Friday) stay in the forest around the area. That is not their first time and that is how they operate. We have reported to security agents but nothing has been done about it. We are helpless. Government should come to our aid.”

Another resident who spoke on condition of anonymity also reiterated that the reserve in the Odigbo council area had been inhabited for long by herdsmen.

He said though the reserve belonged to the government, community members now use the place for farming.

The resident, who is a prominent member of the National Association of Odigbo Local Government Students, said herdsmen rampage started in the area at the same time it became rampant in the country.

He said, “Villagers are aware of the activities of herdsmen in the area. There was a time herdsmen cut the wrist of a farmer who confronted them when they took their cows for grazing on his farm.

“The DPO of Ore Police Station intervened in the matter and spoke with members of the community. The vigilantes have had to confront them many times. The vigilantes later constructed a shed in the community and take turns to ensure security in the area. This is a development that is known to people in the community.’’

Every killing in the south is attributed to "herdsmen". Every killing in the north is attributed to "gunmen".

Like every other thing in Nigeria, the media has found a cheap way to sell newspapers: just sit in your newsroom in Lagos or Abuja and cook up the sensational headlines. Push Nigeria to the brink and make a profit.

The scam will be completed in a few days when the Nigeria Police will capture and parade a few hapless individuals in the name of "herdsmen". A few pictures, more sensational headlines and then we can all go back to sleep until the next unfortunate victims of "herdsmen" in the south or "gunmen" in the north. Then it is just a case of rewind and replay.

No further investigation; case closed!

No one is calling out the police or the government to thoroughly investigate the case. All you read are personal attacks and parochial nonsense.

God bless Nigeria.

Politics › Re: Shehu Sani Calls For New Census To End Estimated Figures by Reptyle(m): 4:29pm On Jul 10, 2019
Despirado121:
Former Senator, Shehu Sani, has called for a new census to be conducted in Nigeria to bring an end to estimated figures, Igbere TV reports.


United Nations’ estimates puts Nigeria’s population at over 201 million.


Mr Sani who used to represent Kaduna Central at the National Assembly tweeted on Wednesday that a new census would help update the nation’s figures.


“The last national census was conducted in 2006; its high time we conduct a new census in order to update Our figures so that we can end this “about 170m, about 180m, about 200m” guesstimates,” he said.

A census is indeed desirable.

Yet to be seen however, how a census will hold successfully in the midst of intractable security challenges across the country.

Best the FG focus on resolving the security challenges first before undertaking any census. If the present government makes significant progress in addressing the security challenges, perhaps the next administration can make a census the core of their development policy.

All those soldiers wey fight for civil war no dey wan take ear hear say one person dey threating the unity of the country thru religion or politics. Dem feel say dem don invest too much tears and blood to keep the country one so anybody wey do anyhow go see anyhow.

If they can put a face to the disturbance, they will pick you up and lock you away.

An all-out civilian president like GEJ would probably seek out a civil way to achieve a negotiated peaceful resolution for this impasse. But soldiers like Obasanjo and Buhari who fought in the civil war have very little patience for that kind of settlement.

Now this situation is getting out of hand and the FG needs to urgently adopt a more civil approach to resolving this matter before it degenerates further. No one is saying free Zakzaky outrightly. But let the man have his day in court and follow through on the decision of the court. They can release the man and put him under 24 hours surveillance. There is an urgent need to defuse the ticking time bomb.

May God's true wisdom guide all sides in the conflict.

This is nonsense talk. Courts do not reach decisions based on the "pulse of the nation". They do so by weighing the facts and arguments presented by the contending parties and rule according to the law of the land.

This erroneous position by Mr. Atiku is the reason why his party has flooded the media with all sorts of propaganda in a bid to skew public emotions and manouver the so called "pulse of the nation".

Kolewerk!

We deserve better than Buhari. But Mr. Atiku isn't an option. By the grace of God, he won't be President.

If the story is as stated by FFK then the General is lucky he only got removed and dismissed for disobeying a direct order from his superiors to transfer the suspects to Abuja. He is a general and should know better.

In the military, you obey orders when they are given whether you like them or not. If you choose to disobey a direct order because you don't like it, you will.be charged, tried before a court martial and punished.

Punishments range from loss of command, demotion, dismissal to even jail and in extreme cases, death sentence.

The armed forces isn't a place where you have a personal agenda. Once your agenda doesn't align with the common agenda, jettison it and fall in line.

kerzhim:
Thats the appropriate thing to do actually.... But i am expecting him to charge Busola Dakolo for Defamation. I will assume that he is guilty of the allegation leveled against him if he fails to do that.

Busola as well should also report formally to the authority, not the social media gra gra.

This will be a slap to the Christianity, if nothing is done.
But isn't that a bit unfair to put the burden of proof on him to prove his innocence?

I thought the maxim is "innocent until proven guilty" and not "guilty until proven innocent".

Even the law says that he that alleges must prove and places the onus of proof on the accuser.

I agree with you that he probably should go to court as one of the ways to clear his name, but that isnt the only way of clearing his name. In order words, if he chooses other ways of clearing his name, that shouldn't be considered as proof of his guilt.

Dude was obviously never a member of the church. He was only a bench warming attender.

Coming to church every Sunday doesn't make you a member of a church. It is bearing responsibility within the church that confirms you a member. That is why it is called "service".

You aren't a member of your family just by blood or because you answer your father's name. You are a member of that family because you carry some responsibility and contribute within the family.

If your father or any other member of your physical family is accused of rape or stealing or any of those other vices, I wonder how many of you will join the mocking crowd in lynching your father publicly. While you might not condone the act, you definitely will not be amongst the mockers. At worst, you may not defend him, but you will also not openly castigate him.

How then is this actor's action ok? How do you lead a protest against a man you probably called Pastor and revered just last week.

respect80:
The Festus Adedayo They Thought They Could Pull Down -By Festus Adedayo


I was just informed a few minutes ago of the withdrawal of the appointment offered me as the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Nigerian Senate President, Dr. Ahmed Lawan. I had hitherto enjoyed every of the diatribes provoked by the appointment.

I was told it was the most discussed issue in Nigeria in the last few days. Of course, it was not humanly possible for me to read the over 5000 tweets and thousands of comments on other social media. As at the time of writing this, the issue was said to be the most-discussed in Nigeria on the social media. Said to be the brainchild of some hired Rottweiler dogs loyal to some lords in the APC, a campaign dubbed #sackfestus adedayo was mounted immediately and within hours, had given birth to thousands of recruits. Many of the commentators who took liberty to harangue me have no idea of who I am and went on a railroaded binge to dress me in an alien robe.

Of a truth, I am a venomous critic of President Muhammadu Buhari, with no apologies. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Adams Oshiomhole, Ibikunle Amosu, Bukola Saraki and several others have been on the receiving end of the unkind temper of my pen. But call my attention to five pieces I did in dispraise of Tinubu, I will call yours to the three I did in his praise, at very grave danger to my life and career, even though Tinubu can’t pick me up in a crowd.

Someday when he and I meet, I hope to tell him the consequential bullet I once bit for his sake. Since 1998 when I began column-writing, I have a graveyard of public personalities whom my cudgel has whiplashed for perceived infractions in power. Give me 10 pieces I wrote in uncomplimentary review of President Buhari, I will give you 20 I did in utter vilification of Jonathan, his ministers and those close to him. Jonathan never raised a voice against me. One thing my traducers don’t know is that I have no attachment to those criticisms. I am like a prophet; once I deliver my message, I move on.

What those who are vilifying me for always writing against government should have done was to rise from their laziness and conduct an x-ray of my writing. In my close to 20 years of public sphere intervention, I am a rabid anti-establishment person. I believe that in establishment lies the plague of the Nigerian state and my writings reflect this much. Even though I am everything but a saint, I believe that government should reflect the highest moral echelon of society and those who run it should make covenant of chastity and fidelity with themselves.

More fundamentally is that my pen knows no friend or foe. Very early in my writing career, I learnt that I could go far in the people’s heart if I sided with the public against government. This was abetted by my philosophy degree background which teaches me to always look for disorder, even in order. I am a natural pessimist and see pessimism in optimism. Anyone who does a critical assessment of my journey as a columnist will see this without any equivocation.

I doubt if any government has received greater unfavourable reviews from my pen than the Olusegun Obasanjo government. His ministers were weekly captives of my acidic pen. His Chief Press Secretary, Chief Tunji Oseni, upon once inviting me to the monthly Presidential Media Chat, told me to my face that he regretted inviting a rabid anti-Obasanjo journalist like me to the event. Chief Bola Ige, God bless his soul, was the first recipient of my column’s bile in the government. He wrote Page 9 while I wrote Page 3 of the Sunday Tribune, with his Uncle Bola’s Column, even as Attorney General of the Federation.

A few weeks after the ministers’ inauguration and they were given Wardrobe allowance, I flagellated all of them, including Chief Ige, a known acolyte of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who owned the medium. When Chief Ige reacted to my attack and spoke of me in bad light, I took him up again and almost insinuated that he was senile. Rather than take further umbrage, he apologized to me. This was the Ige who, one day when I went to his house, in the company of other colleagues, once commended my writing.

Very scant people know that the governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, is my friend. A few weeks ago, I rudely dragged him to the public square over his decision to cancel the N3000 school fees in the state, so much that those who know my association with him asked if there was a dissonance in our relationship. If you rummage through the archives, you would see lacerations on the body of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, products of my unkind jabs. It began from 1999. If I have written 100 articles referencing Abubakar, we may barely find three that are positive about him. Apart from seeing him on the television, I probably saw him once in my life in the crowd.

Former governors Niyi Adebayo of Ekiti State, Olusegun Osoba, Adebayo Alao-Akala, Rashidi Ladoja received unkind tackles from me. I am very close to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State; the day I felt his decision was against my people of Akure, I wrote against him. Rummage through the archives, you would see how I pounced on Senator Bukola Saraki severally with my pen; you would think we once sparred over possession of same woman. The truth is, my writings are political party and tribe-blind. I detest injustice, politics and run away from politicians as much as I can. One thing you cannot accuse me of being complicit of is the vermin that has eaten into the fabrics of my journalism profession. While I am not a saint, I have never blackmailed anyone in my life and I have very scant veneration for the god of Mammon.

The person who nominated me for this office under contention will bear me witness: I told him point blank when he intimated me of the proposed nomination that I had sworn never to do the job of a publicist again in my life, after my two experiences in government. It is a job that almost asks for your life; where you have no respite of any kind. More importantly, all my life, I have never lobbied for any office. Second is that, I believe that my stints in government have almost killed the deposit of writing talent in me. Judging by my beginning as a writer, today I should be one of Africa’s most-read fiction writers.

Meeting Senate President Ahmed Lawan in Abuja rekindled my hope in Nigeria. Like me, he is tribe-blind. He is also very unassuming and cerebral. He interviewed me and another candidate as if we were in a doctoral defence class and settled for me as his choice. Nigerian politicians have a lot to learn from that gentleman and his politics of blindness to tribe and political party affiliation. He told me he wanted excellence and would pick whoever among us he saw as equating that score.

I have read all manner of lies concocted against me on the social media by politicians, all because they want this job at all cost. I do not have any problem with that. One post said Tinubu gave me a Lexus jeep. Those who are close to me know how mendacious this is as I have never even entered such Luxury in my life. That I was considered for the job is enough happiness for me and that, in my life, I would see a Nigerian like Lawan who has such pan-Nigerian mindset, is a great accomplishment.

I was told the job has been withdrawn. I thank Lawan for the offer. He will be my model of a good Nigerian forever. If those who spearheaded the attack thought it would silence me in my bid for a good country, they have another think coming. I can never be silenced. I will always advocate for a good country; whether it hurts Buhari or anyone.

If I had finally settled for the job, I would be doing it at a great cost. I am right now a student of the Nigerian Law School and the rules forbid my working while a student. I would have had to walk away from a painful studentship I embarked upon last November that will come to an end in about two and half months from now. It is providence in action that I am not going to have the job.

To those who spearheaded it, I have no space in my heart for any acrimony against them. It has further strengthened my belief that we must rid Nigeria of hate and politics of the stomach. One thing that Nigerians who read my column should be rest assured of is that I will never waver on the side of power or any politician in government for a pot of porridge. According to Bob Goldstein, “a principle isn’t a principle until it costs you something.” I am happy that this is what my quest for a good society, through my writing, has cost me. This is my creed.

https://thenigerialawyer.com/the-festus-adedayo-they-thought-they-could-pull-down-by-festus-adedayo/
Well crafted and constructed drivel if you ask me.

Adedayo should learn from Adeniyi, Abati, Adeshina and the likes that it is a taboo to defecate in a pool and turn around to drink from that same pool

It was wrong for the Senate President to even consider you for a role in a government you treat with such disdain. It is even wronger for you to have considered accepting the role. There are a lot of non-partisan, competent hands that can be brought in to do the same job.

Pick a side and stay true to your ideals and creed...if you have any. angry

chelseaeternity:
From: collinsuchendusblog.com

Governor Emeka Ihedioha has reversed the status of the newly converted Imo State University of Agriculture and Technology, Umuagwo, to its earlier polytechnic status.



The immediate past governor of the state, Rochas Okorocha, at the end of his administration elevated the polytechnic to a university status and appointed a Vice Chancellor.



Okorocha moved the polytechnic to Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of the state. However, in a statement issued in Owerri, the state capital by the Secretary to the state government, Uche Onyeagucha said that the governor has reversed the institution to its original status.



The governor, according to the statement has appointed an acting rector, following the retirement of Wance Madu.

The statement reads “the visitor to Imo State Polytechnic, Umuagwo and the Governor of Imo State, His Excellency, Rt. Hon Emeka Ihedioha CON, has directed the immediate reopening of Imo State Polytechnic, Umuagwo for normal academic activities.

“Resultant upon the expiration of the tenure of the Rector who has since proceeded on terminal leave, the most senior academic staff in the Polytechnic Dr. Paddy N. Njoku is hereby appointed the Acting Rector of the Polytechnic effective from today June 10, 2019.

The Polytechnic community and all Stakeholders thereof are advised to cooperate and accord him all necessary support.”

Even if the Ghana rail construction is not the same as Nigeria's, it has always been so for project executions in Nigeria compared to other nations
Before we conclude we have been scammed and so as not to end up comparing apples to oranges, it is important to get the full technical details of both projects.

What is the nature of both terrains? Are there rivers on the route that would need the construction of bridges? Are there hills or mountains to be tunneled through? How many train stations need to be built on the route? How available or cheap are construction materials? What about the cost of manpower? Also, what are the exchange rates of the local currency to the USD? There are these, and perhaps so many other factors to consider before we home in on corruption as the reason for the disparity in cost.

For example, the cost of building a 3 bedroom bungalow on a swampy and unstable terrain might cost as much or even more than the cost of building a duplex on a dry and stable terrain. Let us not always be so quick to ascribe corruption where there might actually be none.

Ihedioha has started walking down the same road that Ambode walked that led to his downfall.

Yes, the monuments are a waste of public funds by an administration that couldn't get its priorities right. But now that they have been built, it is equally a waste of funds to destroy them. Also for an administration to make that its first executive action shows the same lack of priority as the previous government.

I hope Ihedioha realizes the ton of work he has ahead of him and stops faffing around to avoid stories that touch.
Crime › Re: Stephen Bradley Mell Puts His Private Plane On Autopilot To Have Sex With Minor by Reptyle(m): 10:10am On May 24, 2019
CreepyBlackpool:
So how did they now know he put his plane on auto pilotundecided



btw, did he force himself on the girl??
Everything that a pilot does on a plane is recorded and can be tracked. What that means is that investigators can easily get information from the plane's onboard computer. Besides, if he was flying a plane and still had time to have sex with someone, methinks it is only commonsensical to conclude he must have put the plane on auto-pilot to do that.

By the way, the said girl he slept with was 15 years old...at that age, the law recognises her as a minor. That means that the law doesn't recognise her ability to give consent or engage in consensual sex. If you sleep with a 15-year-old in saner climes, YOU WILL GO TO JAIL. It doesn't matter if she wrote her consent on a piece of paper and signed it.

Television is a veritable tool for desensitization and peddling disinformation.

Children and even adults should be wary about what they watch.

Celebrities › Re: Ebuka Obi-Uchendu: Umar Ganduje's Reelection As Governor Amazes Me by Reptyle(m): 4:15pm On May 07, 2019
To be frank, Ganduje is one of the better performing governors in Nigeria. He has performed relatively better than most of his fellow governors including the current joker in Lagos.

As for getting caught in the act of corruption, it should have cost him his position regardless of his record of performance. That is how it is in more developed climes. But here in Nigeria, I guess the reverse is the case. Moreso when one considers the sad fact that his other non-performing colleagues are probably stealing much more but just haven't been caught on camera.

Nice thread.

Is it possible for you to post a sample all-inclusive cost analysis for setting up small take-off poultry for say about 200 birds?

That would be really helpful for someone looking to start small and scale up production as profit rolls in.

Tobi Bakre's mother has been slammed by a life coach, Solomon Buchi, over comments she made while giving marriage advice to couples.

In the video below, Tobi Bakre's mother could heard saying women should not bother about their husband's whereabouts. According to her, doing such will only give them more problems.

Why do people always feel the need to seek relevance?

What is a "Solomon Buchi"? Why would I listen to a boy who graduated from "Heritage Polytechnic" barely 7 years ago and is yet to figure out his own life, but prides himself as a "life coach", over a woman that has been married for 29 years and raised children?

The woman is not a professional marriage counselor. She has been married for 29 years and managed to make it work, so she gave advice based on her own experience. She wasnt forcing her opinion on anyone. Yet this boy feels the need to run his mouth about a woman probaly old enough to be his mother.

I know that courting controversy on social media is one of the recent ways to gain relevance. But there really should be red lines.

Travel › Re: Osita Chidoka: Disparity In Air-fares At Nigerian Airports by Reptyle(m): 4:20pm On May 02, 2019
I just checked on Ethiopian website and this information is incorrect.

Mr. Chidoka's information is false and misleading. Airlines rarely ever have a fixed rate for any route. You can buy a ticket for a particular route for an amount now and someone else will buy the same ticket for higher or lower within an hour from when you bought yours.

The man is educated and exposed and should know better than spreading stuff like this online to further the skewed narrative that Igbos are somehow being dealt the shorter end of the stick.
