It's now crystal clear that the North have turned their back on Buhari because of his cluelessness and "political know how" poverty should be eradicated .

Nigeria future is bleak under Buhari and if we don't kick him out in 2019, Sudan will be better than Nigeria .

Did you read the part where "a crowd gathered at the foot of the billboard chanting Sai Buhari"?

like for Obi and share for Osinbajo

Peter Obi is a good man. But he cannot stand Osibanjo in a debate. That would be like asking Obi to face off with Fashola in a debate.

Debates arent necessarily just about having points. There is also a measure of skill required to deliver eloquently and convincingly. Osinbajo is an accomplished and erudite speaker.

I have seen Peter Obi on 2 separate TV shows. One with the former minister of finance, Kemi Adeosun and the other with one Professor from the University of Abuja, can't remember his name. On both occasions, Mr. Obi struggled to put his points across convincingly.

He is a good administrator and business man. But I sincerely do not think debating and public speaking are his forte!

I wasn't even aware the Federal Government had released a list of the 50 people on the list.

No sane Shia that fears God will vote Buhari

Shiites do not vote in conventional elections.

They are a government unto themselves and are only loyal to their local leader in Nigeria and the Ayatollah of Iran.

No christian will ever rule south west only muslim ambode must be pushed out

You do realise Sanwoolu is a Christian right?

caracas:
Dumb heads every where
On the contrary this is actually what we want
cos the coast is now clear for ambode to move over to pdp .
Then in 2019 we wud tell u afonjas that we own lagos.
Let me see how he wud rigg out a sitting governor with huge support from pdp n igbos in lagos.
Not like 2015 where ur master rigged out jimi agbaje .
Ambode wud still remain lagos governor come 2019.
Mark my words .

If Ambode moves over to the PDP, he won't be a "sitting governor" by the end of October.

77up:
you can say that again

Igbos are very industrious and hard working.

Given their numbers in Lagos, you cannot discuss Lagos politics without discussing the Igbos for good or for bad.

englishmart:
And Godfatherism continues to thrive. It's quite shameful that one man will keep deciding the fate of over 10m people. The question is, how long? .

How can you ascribe the choice of "10 million" voters to 1 man?

Tinubu alone cannot elect the governor of Lagos. The people of Lagos can.

Tinubu can choose to back a candidate. The people of lagos can say NO and back someone else.

If the people choose to back the same person that Tinubu supports, is that not an expression of their choice? How is that Tinubu's fault?

I think we ascribe too much power to the man.

mybestlove:
Tinubu should be disgraced. Ambode has a right to second term. Tinubu single handedly imposing candidates in all south western states is like proving that everybody in Yorubaland is under his dictate.
If people are wise, they should dismantle this Tinubu dynasty as early as possible because if allowed to eat deeper in Yorubaland, the future could be difficult

If you dismantle the Tinubu structure, another one will rise to replace it.

"Nature abhors a vacuum."

The nature of our politics makes room for "power blocs" and "power brokers".

Tinubu has done a lot to gain the kind of influence he wields in the Southwest. He draws that influence from the people. When the people have had enough, they will retrieve their patronage and hand it to another.

[quote author=escodotman post=71655907][/quote]Yes we can all see that. That's why we feel sorry for you. Just keep it together. You will be alright soon.

By the way, have you identified any radio mast nearby you will like to climb in protest?

Orue!

escodotman:
I don't blame you at all, rather it is the stupid man I call a father who obviously refused to give ME a proper training while growing up and dumb mother who neglected her duties over ME. I'm suffering from a chronic bipolar psychiatric disorder for refusing to acknowledge an attempted suicide and continue to foolishly term it an ''peaceful protest'', therefore, I need to be checked at a psychiatric home.

Eiyaa...I understand. Sorry I was so hard on you.

Get well soon

escodotman:
It's obvious the kind of frustrated life you are living. Oh how bitter your life is and how foolish you are, comparing if you attempt to jump into a lagoon and the patriotic man having a peacful protest by climbing a harmless mast. Folks like you are the enemy of this country, you are ok with the stauts quo in which leaders are not accountable and citizens can not demand a better governance from their leaders!

You are an imbecilic cretin for thinking you know "folks like me" cos of a couple of banters on social media.

Like I said, since you claim to be more patriotic than "folks like me" please look for the closest "harmless" radio mast around you and begin to climb in the name of "peaceful protest to demand better governance".

Oh and before you begin to further share your obtuse view on the kind of "bitter and frustrated" life your father is living, take a look in the mirror. There...that's "frustrating and bitter" staring right back at you.

escodotman:
Exactly what you should have said to defend your Buhari government instead of trying to justify illegality by equating climbing a mast as ''attempted suicide'' and turning the constitution upside down.

In your myopic view, anyone who holds a different opinion from you has to be a "Buhari supporter."

Dafuq out of here with that nonsense.

If you cannot comprehend the simple fact that there is a clear difference between a "peaceful protest" and criminal endangerment of life, property, and security, I cannot help you.

Why don't you go and attempt to jump off the 3rd Mainland Bridge in the name of "peaceful protest" and see how well "the constitution" will support your actions?

Please I have better things to do with my time than engage in pointless banter.

Have a great life.

escodotman:
What a joke. How is climbing a mast equates ''attempted suicide'', in your own law? Is the mast an electric pole? Besides, the guy said he was protesting and not attempting suicide.

Ehen! They were protesting by climbing a radio mast within the Presidential villa right?

He has been charged to court. Let him go and explain to the judge how peaceful protest and climbing a mast within the Presidential villa work together.

It is well.

Timil:
An Israeli man has named Nigeria a terrible country after spending a few years in the country, read his statement below and the replies he got....

"I'm an Israeli that lived in Nigeria for 5 years working on an agricultural project in Plateau State.

Nigeria is no better or no worse than any other country in the world. Every country has it's advantages and dis-advantages.

The leadership is the biggest Nigerian problem with rife corruption and lack of basic humanity.

The Nigerian people are suffering from a lack of leadership and too much religious dogma.

One of the main problems with Nigerians is that they are too tolerant of their politicians. No strikes or protest marches for justice. They have come to terms with the fact that they have to bribe a government official, customs officer, police officer, immigration officer just to progress in life."

The replies he got from Nigerian's and foreigners......

Source: https://www.quora.com/?digest_story=84391720

Where in this write-up did the man call Nigeria a "terrible" country

The man clearly stated that "Nigeria is no better or no worse than any other country in the world" and then went on to state what he felt the country's main issues are.

Very stupid headline. "Headless lady found dead!" Please how else would a headless person be found if not dead

Secondly, that is obviously an accident scene so what do you mean by "it is unclear what led to the incident"?

Thirdly stop posting such gory images on social media! If you must, make sure you tag it "graphic photos" so people know to avoid it if they do not have the guts for it.

[quote author=escodotman post=71561024]Is this a joke? Peaceful protest is lawful in the constitution![/quote

I doubt very much if climbing a radio mast within a highly secured area can be considered a "peaceful protest".

Attempted suicide, even in the name of peaceful protest, is considered a crime against the state.

Yambee:
APC always embarrassing Nigeria.

Buhari is 84 years old, wears an adult diaper,is nearly lifeless and sleeps at any opportunity he gets both in public and private.

So that he does not keep making a fool of himself in public,they chose Obaseki to accompany him, to give Nigeria a young face.

Look at the young man they sent?he went there and converted the UN floor to his bedroom,and he became lifeless too like his leader.

APC with lifeless people.

I don't know about the other things in your post, but I would like you to share one picture of PMB sleeping in a public gathering...just one.

Please stop spreading falsehood!!!

hor=wanted2018 post=70604723]The Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, has condemned the reaction of his subjects in humilating the senate president and described their action as an abomination maintaining that any attempt to politicize the Ojude Oba Festival will not be acceptable.

MY QUICK TAKE.
===========
In all honesty, culture and tradition of the people should not be mixed with politics. But how do you describe Saraki's appearance as a special guest alongside a few other lawmakers loyal to him to a festival few months to the general election and also coming when he is about to publicly declare his presidential ambition. Many people are asking who paid the appearance fee? The Awujale should not be blamed in anyway because he may not even know the antics of these politicians. Saraki wanted to test the waters, but unfortunately, the people sent a clear signal that they don't want him. Coming to Ijebuland with people like Dino and the twitter guy six months to election to test the microphone is not acceptable to the people. I trust the Yoruba people when it comes to politics. You can't use them for any political gains. Saraki and his clique are holding our dear nation to ransom by opposing very clear and good intentions of the president. The INEC budget and other burning national issues are pending, but they have the time and space to gallivant around the country to attend jamborees. They will keep meeting the masses everywhere they go to. In the last few days, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso could not find any hiding place as people follow him with the shout of "Sai Buhari" anywhere they find his shadows. Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal got the same treatment by his own people, in his own local government. When Senator Isah Hamma Misau raised his hand to shout PDP, the same crowd he rented replied "SAI BUHARI, Bamayi sai mai gaskiya". Alhaji Sule Lamido got the shock of his life when a rally he organized in Jigawa turned against him in a state that he was two time governor. The truth of the matter is that people already know who their enemies are. To pretend is to be mischievous. The Awujala should have known that inviting a politician in such event must get a political response. These characters can only get cheers in some particular region of the country. But they will certainly find no ventilation to where sophistication dwells as politics.

BoneBlogger:
Honesty really pays. An award ceremony has been hosted for the two exceptional staff of Halogen Security,Francis Emepueaku and Achi Daniel, the security guards at the multi level car park of the Murtala Muhammed Int'l Airport, Lagos, who returned a bag forgotten by a passenger containing large sum of money and expensive items. 

Daniel is a father of four from Delta State while Emepueaku hails from Anambra.

With all the accolades that have trailed their uncommon display of honesty and integrity, including a commendation from President Muhammadu Buhari, for forfeiting temporary wealth to gain an enduring honour, they both seemed subdued by the ‘five minutes of fame’ when they were yesterday unveiled to the media in Lagos.

The duo were yesterday honoured by their company in recognition of their rare integrity and professionalism. Daniel and Emepueaku, in the presence of family members and friends, were awarded the sum of N250,000 each, scholarships for diploma in security management and plaque of recognition.

Source; https://www.nationalhelm.co/2018/08/airport-guards-who-returned-bag-of-dollars-finally-honoured-photos.html

It is a win - win for everyone at the end of the day.

Owner of dollar got his money back; the security men were decently rewarded and celebrated and they can go ahead and spend their 250K with peace of mind; their employer gets some accolade for the honesty and integrity displayed by their employees. This means more business for them; even the airport authorities get an opportunity to shine and Nigeria as a whole get a chance to tell the world "Everybody no be criminal"

All is well that ends well.

This beautiful snake was killed in Ologi community Bayelsa state, who knows the breed of this snake should please let us know about it because I even almost stepped on it thinking its a wire till I see it move swiftly, we eventually killed it though.

Extremely rare specie of snake highly sought after by snake collectors. This one would have easily fetched you between 3000 and 5000 USD on the international snake market.

Next time, try and capture it alive.

AutoReportNG:
Lagos State Government says it has taken delivery of 300 new buses into its Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) fleet to boost public transportation services in the state.

The Commissioner for Transportation, Ladi Lawanson, said in Lagos that the new buses were part of the 800 buses paid for by the state government. The 300 buses would be on Lagos roads from Oct. 1, the commissioner said.

“The most important thing is that the buses will start rolling out from October and we are not stopping at that and we won’t stop at 800.
“All 800 buses have been paid for but they are not bought off the shelf, they are produced in batches.

“The state government, being an enabler, made a financial commitment for those 800 to come in.

“But we have a firm agreement with the bus company that we are going to build up to 5000 buses in the next three to four years,” Lawanson said.

The commissioner said that the bus company had also expressed commitment to establish assembly plant in the country to provide jobs and for easy maintenance of the buses.

“That is part of what we knew we had to resolve from the old ways we have been acting.

“Part of the company’s agreement is to establish an assembly plant here to provide more jobs for Nigerians and solve the problems of maintenance and spare parts,’’ he said.

This is very commendable from LASG.

My fear? Maintenance. We don't ever seem to get that right. The planned assembly plant from the manufacturer should have been established before the buses rollout on the streets.

But as usual with politicians, it is election season and there is an eagerness to "launch" as many projects as possible without clear plans to ensure sustainability.

Saraki is well within his legal right to aspire for the highest office in the land. But somebody needs to hold him down before he finally dances naked in the marketplace.

Someone should tell him to stick to his time-tested role as "ruling party disruptor-in-chief" and continue to enjoy the misplaced adulation of his coterie of twitter praise singers rather than embark on this one-way journey of self-demystification.

Anyway, I am sure he isn't under any illusions of getting the PDP ticket. If he is man enough, let him adopt one of the other 89 political parties and throw his hat in the ring.

http://thenationonlineng.net/saraki-asks-court-to-restrain-agf-ig-others-from-unlawfully-removing-him/

Absolute nonsense! How do you ask a court to rule against an action that has not been carried out?

It is the job of the police to PREVENT crime and not the courts.

What they should seek from the courts is an interpretation of the said Section 50(2)(c).

Asking the courts to restrain Senators from removing their leader is an aberration and cannot stand in law. If the Senate President is removed and he feels it was been done against the dictates of the law, then he can approach the courts for redress.

What kind of one-sided news report is this? No attempt to even get a quote from a member of the APC to balance out the report.

I always thought the Daily Independent was a national newspaper though owned by James Ibori, a PDP top brass.

I guess I was wrong.

When one looks at this situation dispassionately, this suspect should be lying on a hospital bed in a government hospital rather than the cold hard floor in the open. He can be chained to the bed to prevent the possibility of escape.

The man may have slipped into a coma and even though he is a suspected criminal, he deserves to have his life saved, after which he can be tried and punished for his crime.

How in your dumb brain is that a smart move? So, how does Buhari's absence absolve him of his role in this saga? Dumbass speaking like the dumb APC your dumb brain voted into power.

No need to insult someone for making his point.

PMB's absence from the stage while any of the shenanigans in the Senate goes down is called "Plausible Deniability".

Femi Makinde, Osogbo

The Deputy Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress in Osun State, Azeez Adesiji, on Monday led eight members of the State Working Committee of the party and 6,200 members of the party executive at local government and ward levels to join the Action Democratic Party.

The APC leaders and their followers were received at the Chairman of the ADP, Toye Akinola, at the secretariat of the party in Osogbo amidst jubilation.

Adesiji said the mass defection was caused by the alleged nepotism; impunity and unconcerned attitudes of the decision makers in the party and the state government to the citizens of the state among other reasons.

He said, ” I, Alhaji Azeez Issa Adesiji and other State Exco members wish to make it known to you all about our defection into this new credible alternative party because of impunity and undemocratic practices witnessed in our former party, the All Progressives Congress. Osun State which is unbecoming of an acc,aimed progressive party.

” Among the 780 local government executive in APC in Osun State, 580 are moving with me the deputy state chairman of the party to our new party, the Action Democratic Party,

” Also, among the 8,632 executives at the ward level in the APC, 5620 are also joining the train to our new party, Action Democratic Party.”

The chairman of the ADP in the state, Toye Akinola, said he was happy with the mass defections of politicians from the ruling party to the opposition party.

He said other politicians from the APC and other political parties had informed him of their decision to join the party soon, saying they would all be accommodated.

He urged the people of the state to support the governorship candidate of the party, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, who he said would rescue the state from suffering with the support of the people.

Please what is the official population of Osun State...or "State of Osun" as they call themselves

israelmao:
Yet they said, They are not losing sleep and they are not bothered about defection.Just tell me,what is another way to lose sleep and be bothered?

Well, if you really think about it, it seems it is those that defected that have refused to find sleep.

Case in point is their plan to "keep vigil" at the National Assembly tonight. Do you see any APC member in those pictures?
