Lol. Lighten up guys....

I guess the PR guys at Chicken Republic believe in the "every publicity is good publicity" mantra.

Bottomline is that they got us all talking about their brand...although I must confess I cringed a little when I saw the advert yesterday.

Very bold and avant garde for a brand to so openly align with a struggle.

alcmene:
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, has challenged the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed to make public names of the 15 former governors and 55 Nigerians that he claimed stole N1.34 trillion between 2006 and 2013 or keep his mouth shut permanently.

In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said “The reality is that the All Progressives Congress (APC) Federal Government has destroyed the economy within eight months in power and rather than look for solutions to the problems facing Nigeria, Lai Mohammed and his cohorts are branding bogus figures about stolen money just to cover up their lack of solution to the country’s economic problems.”

The governor, who also described as disgraceful, bringing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh to court in handcuff, said; “Even the masterminds of Mandala and Nyanya bomb blasts, Kabiru Sokoto and Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche were not handcuffed when they were arraigned in court.”

Fayose said it was funny that close to one year after it won the presidential election, the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC federal government was still operating as if it was campaigning for votes.

The governor said: “They are turning governance to Nollywood, such that when one movie is about to end, they release another one. As it appears that the $2.1 billion arms deal movie is getting to an end, Lai Mohammed introduced another movie titled N1.34 trillion loot.

“Unfortunately for them this time around, Nigerians have become tired of watching the Federal Government movies, they now want reality. Nigerians are now aware of the scam in the $2.1 billion arms deal movie having seen that the amount those already charged to court were charged with is not more than N10 billion and $2.1 billion is over N600 billion.

“Therefore, Lai Mohammed must either tell Nigerians details of the 15 former governors and 55 people that he claimed stole N1.34 trillion, where the stolen money is kept and bring back the money or apologise to Nigerians for lying.”

While describing the persistent claim by the federal government that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) destroyed Nigeria for 16 years as hypocritical, Governor Fayose said Nigerians must begin to ask which party majority of those presently ruling the country under the APC government were between 1999 and 2014.

“Majority of those who ran the Federal Government between 1999 and 2003 under the PDP are in the APC government today. President, vice president, ministers, governors, senators and House of Reps members who were part of the PDP government are now in APC. Yet, APC keeps telling Nigerians that PDP ruined the country. This hypocrisy must stop,” he said.

The governor, who insisted that due process of the law must be followed in fighting corruption, noted that disobedience to court
orders itself is a criminal offence that is more grievous than corruption.

He said no amount of harassment and intimidation will silence opposition in the country, saying President Buhari and his men should
rather get used to the reality that opposition must exist in a democracy.

.....Says the Governor who is more known for his theatrics and demagoguery than for real governance...mtchewwww!!

The APC's performance may be considered sub par so far but the PDP could not find its bearing for 16 years even with more than triple the resources available to the current government.

If the APC fails, we will look unto God for another leader. But we will never return to the Egypt that was PDP leadership.

God forbid nonsense!!!

Whatever happened to killing someone in a humane way- just a single shot to the head.

Why are Nigerians so barbaric?? Why the craze for gore??

This is wrong in a thousand ways.

My brother, if you knew this guy, you would know he could not have gone any other way.

They say he who sows the wind will reap a hurricane.

What then do we say about he who sows a hurricane?

Bayo Ajia sowed a hurricane.

Hmmmm! !! Bayo Ajia!!!

This guy was a terror back in our school days. Sad to see him end up like this. Walked around and lived his life with an air of invincibility. Guess his evil ways caught up with him.

May God forgive him and have mercy on his soul.

If I was the Kwara State commissioner of police, now would be a very good time to ramp up security arrangements around the Ilorin and Offa metropolis especially all the higher institutions because this here dude was a ranking member of the local mob.

The police needs to clamp down now to prevent an anticipated surge in cult violence across the State's higher instututions of learning.

All she kept saying in that video was ,"my namesake "

If that's ALL you heard, you will agree with me that you have a major hearing problem?

kogirodent:
I repeat, PMB is not the saviour we want. Imagine, BBOG can now even confirm that GEJ was better.

Nope they did not.

The media was throughly unfair to this woman in heir reports by making her look like a monster.

In my honest opinion, she handled herself quite well. She even managed to keep her cool when her claim that she sent someone to meet with the group at the fountain 3 times, was rudely disputed by the crowd.

Perhaps they expected her to cry with the parents and she didn't.

He has refused to show up in court to respond to charges against him forcing the court to issue a warrant mandating the Police to produce him by any means necessary.

When they begin to hunt and hound him all over the place now, some people will begin to scream blue murder.

My Naija!

Seems to me the Nation Newspaper has reported this piece of news wrongly.

If the court said both parties should maintain Status Quo Ante Bellum, it means that the court declined the FG's plea to impose a freeze on MTN's funds.

Obiagelli:
I am not against the hashtag but the 9 million march

Oh of course that goes without saying!

I'm very positive that the President himself would not endorse such a pointless exercise.

Obiagelli:
I came across this hashtag and i was like what is going on here?
Looks like the usual suspects or their copycats are back again, it is barely a year into the present administration and we are marching and printing t-shirts for what exactly?
There's massive work to be done and this administration has not even gotten into 5% of it and we are marching?
We should be careful not to create an all is well impression to this administration, our job is to put them on their toes, we should not tolerate mistakes, incompetence or outright impunity (the presidential BMWs).

Are we going back to the days of TAN ambassadors, Fresh air crew, bringbackourgej or the 9 million March for Abacha.

We appreciate the good work the government is doing but going on a march is pure sycophancy.

IT 2016 NIGERIANS, RECEIVE SENSE.

Methinks this hashtag came about as a response to the several anti Buhari ones calling out the President for his perceived "tyranical" approach to the anti corruption movement.

I do agree with you however that we must be careful about creating the wrong impression that it is time to relax.

There is still soooo much to do.

DONSMITH123:
DEPUTY President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu has warned that continued detention of the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh was designed by the Federal Government to gag the mouthpiece of the opposition.

Ekweremadu who stressed the need for the All Progressives Congress, APC led government to be cautious against the trampling of the opposition and total disregard for the rule of law in the guise of anti-corruption war, said that with this development, the country was fast descending into authoritarianism, adding that it spells doom on the nation’s democracy.

In a statement signed yesterday by his Special Adviser, Media, Uche Anichukwu, Senator Ekweremadu who reaffirmed the PDP’s support for a genuine anti-graft crusade, however, decried a situation where such crusade becomes a calculated attempt to decimate and silence the opposition, while members of the ruling party with serious corruption allegations go about their businesses.

The Deputy President of the Senate who was speaking in the light of the continued detention of Metuh, Senator Ekweremadu said,” the continued detention of the PDP mouthpiece was an attempt to gag the opposition and therefore unhealthy for democracy.”

Warning against the corruption of the anti-corruption war, he argued: “An anti-graft trap that catches only members of the opposition and those with axe to grind with the government of the day is compromised.”

He called on the nation to denounce and resist the prevailing situation where people are held in custody against the directives of the courts and laws of the land, insisting that there would be no justice without the rule of law.

I agree with the DSP. Mr. Metuh should quickly explain to the EFCC how he came about the money allegedly traced to his company's account so that he can be released.

I miss his press releases....

In other news, where the hell is Governor Fayose?

And in other news:

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/6671/iran-religious-persecution

Let Iran mind its affairs and let us manage our own.

I don't understand....did the Army use flame throwers during the clampdown?

Apart from the audio testimony of the faceless "soldier" who claimed he fired 500 bullets into the air without hitting target, how is this video different from the ones that have been in circulation?

Why was there an attempt to obfuscate the aspect that had to do with the mob obstructing a military convoy. So now the hatchet and cudgel bearing and "Ya Hussein!!!" chanting people are not part of the mob? Perhaps they were planted by the soldiers

And what's all this talk about "innocent and unarmed civilians"? Did that mob look harmless and unarmed? Since when did machetes and clubs become feathers or white flags of peace?

Perhaps the Army may be accused of going overboard with their response. But I sincerely cannot in good conscience blame them for that after seeing how another of such sects has become a national challenge due to the pussy footing of another administration.

Practise your religion in peace! If your religious practices begins to impinge on my own rights to security in my country, please do not expect me to stand by and let you get away with it.

YES I would!!!

mekaboy:
Why then did OBJ say Buhari was not a good administrator? OBJ is more educated than PMB and has always strived to learn more. Has buhari engaged in any learning since 1984?

How will he now understand the dynamics of today's governance and economy?

If level of education was such a good signpost of how well a leader would perform, Nigeria will be near el dorado by now.

We have had an Obasanjo who you say is more educated than Buhari; we have had a Yaradua who used to be a university lecturer; then we recently had GEJ who is a Ph.D and also used to be a university don.

Let us not forget that the economy was largely managed during their era by no less a person than Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, a harvard trained (abi na oxford sef) and globally acclaimed economist, overseeing the economy. Yet inspite of these eminent and very educated Nigerians running our affairs, we are where we are today....broke and teethering on the precipice of an economic depression.

No my brother! A sound exposure to formal education is highly desirable nay necessary for an aspiring leader. But It takes a lot more than education to run a country, especially one as complex as Nigeria.

How and why does a post like this which is obviously false, make front page?

Gozipa:
tunba Dele Momodu has disclosed that the intervention of the Orangun of Oke Ila, Oba Dokun Abolarin, stopped him from replying the insults hurled at him by Davido (David Adeleke) and others over the baby mama controversy.

This became known in recent reply to one of the tweets of his followers; Momodu disclosed that Oba Abolarin ordered for his ceasefire from the parties involved.


See Tweet
http://gossipersnews..com.ng/2016/01/babymama-oba-abolarin-stopped-me-from.html

It says a lot about the kind of person Chief Dele Momodu is when it took the intervention of another adult to stop him from engaging in roforofo fight with a child young enough to be your son.

It is bad enough that he intervened so publicly to the extent of calling out Davido on social media. He needs to act his age and allow the matter to rest before he disgraces himself further I beg.

He can play the role of an elder and protect his family's interest without necessarily creating an uproar on social media.

fx45:
I'd love to see a comprehensive list of corrupt APC men being prosecuted. Till I see something close to that, then the entire process is a charade

If these "charade" is going to ensure even a handful out of those that have committed crimes against our nation see the insides of a prison, then it is all good.

kleek:
This is ridiculous, lets try another question. I think this one is actually harder but you guys might be better at these types of questions. Try and find which one completes the pattern.

Hint: The patterns are vertical, look for the pattern in columns of blocks.

The answer is option 3

betterABIAstate:
the DSS arrested him and saw this picture, why didn't they refute it.

The DSS kept shouting how he was arrested in a brotel and this picture was out, did punch follow DSS to the site of arrest? Who could have come out with a picture of arrest if the DSS?
Do you have a brain at all?

The DSS did not create nor circulate the photoshopped picture so why refute it? That's what Mr. Kanu ' s lawyers are for.

Secondly, the DSS never said he was arrested at a brothel. They said he was arrested at the airport road Golden Tulip hotel with a woman, lodged under a pseudonym.

Though the Golden Tulip hotel is rated a star below the Sheratons and the Hiltons, it is very far from being a brothel.

All you who support Mr. Kanu need to learn to distinguish between statements made by online trolls and formal.statements issued by the government.

captain247:
I can't refer to your initial post cos I didn't mention you in my first comment. Besides you that study law very well since and cannot deduce ordinary meaning of fighting for human right of freedom simply because of your wicked nature to oppress the minorities turned its meaning to be treason.

Look here boy I don't have time for your shit so fuckuf

The Igbos are by no means a minority. They are one of the 3 major ethnic groups in Nigeria.

jusRadical:
You are talking about the courts?



I thought that pm is a superman that has no regard for the courts.

Is this mtn's case not a case of corruption?


Is the money involved not more than that of dasuki?

Why is he afraid of taking on mtn as he is doing with dasuki?

Errrr....how does the MTN case equate to corruption

MTN was accused of breaching an agreement and penalised by the regulator accordingly.

MTN found the fine unacceptable and approached the courts to ask for a reversal of the penalty.

How does that in anyway equate to corruption?

Perhaps you.need to read up some more on what corruption is.

So u r encouraging the act

These men are old men

I mean some one in his 50 there about

Wat do ppl gain from masturbation

I really want to know

Sexual release.

It's quite the same as what you gain from actual sex.

MTN has not REFUSED to pay the fine.

They are pleading their case before the courts.

Neither.

degamonn:
I have been waiting all this while for the explanation why a journalist from AIT was not part of the crew that interviewed the president during his media chat. This is unlike the normal tradition. could it be as a result of face-up between the proprietor of DAAR group and FG?

Don't be ridiculous!

The presidential media chat panel membership has always been rotated among senior representatives of various media houses.

Even the NTA was not on represented on this panel.

shatap dss did not re-arrested kanu rather they refused to obey the court so stop twisting facts to suit your bigotry be informed

Ok.

FILUX:
Buhari once sayed he will make this nation ungovernable and he did just that in goodluck administration, is that not a treasonable act? Let him kill him and lets see.

President Buhari NEVER said he would make the country ungovernable for anyone. That was said by Mr. Lawal Keita...a senior member of the PDP.

His statement was a response to internal crisis in the PDP about the candidacy of ex-President Jonathan in the 2011 elections.

Instructively, President Jonathan had all the opportunities of pursuing a case of treason against Lawal Keita after he won the elections but chose not to.

How is that President Buhari's fault?

DeviIhimself:
what of the high Court that granted an unconditional release

It was an unconditional release from the earlier detention order. It was not a restraining order on the DSS to prevent Mr. Kanu ' s re-arrest and re-arraignment on new charges which is what the DSS has done.

If Mr. Kanu had agreed for his plea to be taken on the new charges of treasonable felony, perhaps his lawyers could have argued a fresh plea for bail. But he gave up that right by questioning the integrity of the court and forcing the judge to stand down from the case.

Mr. Kanu as it stands now is not been held illegally. He is been held for a capital offence pending when the chief judge will reassign the case to another judge so his plea can be taken and perhaps bail requested and granted or declined.

Mr. Kanu himself understands that bail cannot be applied for and considered by the court without his plea been taken and that is why he told the court that he would rather remain in jail than subject himself to a court whose integrity he could not be sure of.

His lawyers know that also. They just choose to play to public sympathy to arm twist the government perhaps.
