Highly disappointed in the Bishop's comment on this matter. I pray he was misquoted.

No we won't! We are not dogs so we don't return to our vomit.

If the APC fails, we will try somebody else in 2019. PDP?? Never again!!!!

Perhaps they should have carried out their "flag raising" in peace instead of sending "brothers" to enquire from the soldiers what their mission in the area was.

Not supporting the idea of soldiers opening fire on civilians. But if I was a soldier, I would be a bit on edge if I was approached by a bunch of zealots enquiring about my mission in a particular area.

This matter should be throughly investigated.

This happened at Awolowo Way Ikoyi this morning. Some DSS officials forcefully arrested fuel black market sellers on the road and even beat up one of them that refused to be arrested. An eyewitness said one of the dealers was beaten badly and they tore his clothes.

Witnessed this palaver on my way to GTBANK this morning. They were Lagos State KAI officials not DSS.

The chap was a vulcaniser that was doubling as a fuel black marketer. He resisted arrest and was thoroughly manhandled by the KAI officials and the MOPOL personnel attached to them.

You've asked your questions, now let me ask you.

Go back and read that post of yours that I quoted and then read the whole report of the eyewitnesses who were there when the incident occurred.

Now, how does making tangential statements add to your argument or due to lack of what to say you just felt you should make a comment to register your presence on the thread?

Second, is it the plenitude of parental care that u received and your adulthood that made you not calm down enough to understand what really transpired at the scene of the incident being reported before making your self-righteous comment?

Third, is it because your line wasn't blocked that u do not understand how frustrating it is to register your SIM more than two or three times, receive the accompanying confirmatory text messages and still have your line blocked or are you normally this demented on a good day?

Ok.

I am really not in the habit of picking pointless fights online with faceless people. Look ahead for your entertainment.

Thank you and have a nice life.

nobilis:
I'm sorry, sir.
Are you okay?
Have you read through all the posts on here before making this your silly comment?

Was it NCC directive that people whose lines have been registered (severally, in some cases) should be disconnected?

Is it that you don't understand the frustration people have been trying to express on this thread or u just chose to be plain stupid and decided to expose your foolishness for the whole world to see.

Why do you feel the need to insult someone on an open and faceless forum to make your point?

How do the insults add value to your argument?

Did you lack parental care or get dropped on your head as a child or are you still one?

Is it the "frustration" of having your line disconnected that is impacting your ability to comprehend and hold a civil conversation or are you usually this obtuse on a good day?

My fellow country men sha!!!

In one voice we rejoice that MTN was fined heavily for refusing to disconnect unregistered line as directed by NCC.

In the next we are trying to burn down MTN installations for complying with NCC directives.

Seems MTN can never get it right with us....I pity them.

The truth is that marriage is not easy.

I like their approach because that is the same thing I do: Work on improving yourself and then work on understanding your partner; not on changing them. That is the winning recipe.

Dear Shadow Cabinet,

The Chief of the Army has informed Nigerians that the rumoured missing 105 soldiers are not missing but back to their battalion hale and hearty save for a few scrapes and bruises which is normal in an operational environment.

The army will never accede to your ridiculous demand for a list of soldiers that make up 175 Battalion because that would mean endangering the lives of those brave men and their families. They would also not furnish you with a list of their inventory so as not to expose details of their operational capacity to the enemy.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but there are no soldiers missing. You will be informed if such happens (God forbid) so that you can roll out the drums like you are doing now and go to town about how terrorists are routing our soldiers.

The war against insurgent terrorists is on course and we shall conquer by the grace of God.

Oga Dasuki, you and your "breakdown of arms purchases" should have showed up at the panel of enquiry.Instead of staying holed up in your house and pretending not to have received an invitation.

If you weren't invited, which invite did you reportedly ask the DSS operatives to leave with your domestic aides?

You will surely have your day in court....I can't wait to hear your explanations.

omolami:
It baffles me to observe that Buhari in a flagrant manner disobeyed court of competent jurisdiction's order to allow Dasuki seek health care outside Nigeria despite several warnings and NASS watch him. Does it mean Buhari is above law , does that also mean NASS is collaborating with him on this illegality and impunity? Buhari must be checked of dictatorial tendencies.

...Maybe because they know something you don't...just saying.

Strange nonetheless.

Very good move.

But what if what may have been mistaken for an assassination attempt was an impatient motorist trying to overtake the slow moving convoy of the Deputy Senate President?

I say this because I honestly find it difficult to believe that an attempt was made to ram the man's vehicle and no shots were fired by neither the would be assailant or the DSP's security details.

Could it be that the so called "foreign mercenary" driving the would be "attacker's" car was just one of the numerous foreigners that dot Abuja, who was probably exasperated by the slow moving convoy, and just wanted to overtake and go on his way?

I wonder why people will prefer to believe a speculative newspaper report over a press statement with verifiable facts and figures.

Like Mr. Adesina said, I have learnt not to believe everything I read or hear in the news because there are always 2 sides to a story.

Thank God he escaped.

Just wondering why his fully armed security details did not engage these "mercenaries" that kept trying to crash into the DSP's car.

If there was actually an attempt on his life, he needs to have his security details changed and have them investigated for complicity.

The Guardian Newspaper also apparently fell for the same hoax.

Something as ground breaking as a successful head transplant will be on all of the major news channels like CNN, BBC, etc.

Do a research online.

http://www.snopes.com/media/notnews/headtransplant.asp

Naaaaah this must be a hoax.

A pioneering head transplant is in the works and has tentatively been scheduled for 2017.

A lot of research is still ongoing and they have a willing guinea pig but the team is still been assembled to make it a reality.

I just Bought Fuel N120. After Buharu Had Paid Billions "Non-Existent" Subsidy!

Who is fooling who?
Where is Tam David Waist (sorry I mean West).

Where is occupy Nigeria?

Where is the Media?

Where is the gang of "progressives"?

We fought as hard as we could in 2012, supporting Jonathan to remove subsidy.

Corruption is a system not individuals.
The illiterate occupying Aso Rock will surely jail some individuals to appease "gods of the land": gullible and myopic Nigerians.
Soon and very soon, this fanfare will be over.

Nigerians will learn that public opinion do not put people in jail.
I don't care who goes to jail, neither do I care who is made a scape goat.
They ought to have known that what turns around turns around.

I am only concerned about the future of the gullible generation who will rather clap and cheer over nothing.
Trust me, jails and even death penalty will not stop people from stealing public funds.

Not when the system is corrupt!
We don't need strong men, we need strong institutions.

When people fear the "body language" of Buhari today, what happens tomorrow when he is gone?

He is surrounded by th very corrupt, the same people that ruined our chances of being great.
Well, there sins are forgiven because they are "progressives"

Shame on this generation!

Congratulations!

All these half baked lawyers parading themselves as silks nowadays sef! How can he be denying something that was transmitted live and rebroadcast by all of the major media outlets? How can he deny calling the action of the judge "judicial rascality" when a video of his statement outside the court building is all over the internet? See the bloody coward who cannot even stand by his statement but wants to represent the person of the Senate President.

Buhari Verification Number

This is funny but could be taken wrongly.

I attended the recently concluded National Economic Summit in Abuja where the Vice President stated clearly that the government intends to fulfill all of its campaign promises especially those that have to do with the welfare of Nigerian youths. He specifically mentioned the payment of unemployment benefits and the meal-a-day for school pupils as 2 promises the government was working hard to implement. He noted that the quick implementation was been hampered by the government's drive towards stabilising the economy and ensuring a revenue stream that would ensure the sustainability of the welfare packages once implemented.

The motion that was raised in the senate by the PDP legislators seeking to "compel" the federal government to commence payment of unemployment benefits was mischievous and deserved to be shot down as it was. Where will the funds to do that come from?

Perhaps if Senator Ben Bruce of the PDP and his cohort in the APC like Dino Melaye and Shehu Sani make good on their own campaign promises to lead the charge for the reduction in the pay currently due to legislators, the savings can be channeled accordingly into funding the federal government's welfare programmes.

Senator Ben Bruce takes a shot at President Buhari,he says "6 months is 1/8 of a 4 year tenure. If you are still blaming your predecessor after 6 months, when are you going to ever deliver the goods?"
This is a serious one .

Errr....says the Senator whose only action since he joined the Senate is joining the PDP caucus walk out during the ministerial confirmation hearings last week.

Talk of a kettle calling the pot black.

He does have a point though....President Buhari needs to step up his game. Time is running out.

yomalex:
Can you read what you typed again? So it's okay for a company to come to Nigeria and disregard our laws? The fine had been stated before the offence other networks complied but MTN refused

Yes, I read what I typed. No I am not saying it's okay for a company to come to Nigeria and disregard our laws.

If you really read what I wrote, you will also notice that I did not say it's okay for a company to come to Nigeria and disregard our laws.

onatisi:
see question smh

There are always 2 sides to an argument. My question might seem silly to you but if you weren't so angry with MTN, you will realise that while the network messed up by activating unregistered lines, (note that ALL of the networks were guilty of this by the way. Just that MTN had the largest chunk by virtue of their been the largest network) the NCC also failed in its duty of regulating the industry by not noticing that MTN and all of the other networks were activating unregistered lines. This issue only became one because of the advent of Boko Haram and more because of the recent kidnap of Chief Olu Falae.

If you weren't so angry with MTN, you will realise that there are over 10,000 Nigerians that benefit directly or indirectly from that business staying afloat. I am not arguing that any business local or foreign should take Nigeria's laws and regulations for granted, I am just saying that there are always 2 sides to an argument and the matter should be addressed more holistically.

The cure for a headache is not a beheading!

Atlantian:
You are ignorant. UK Passport holders travel visa-free to hundreds of countries including Nigeria.

I agree with you...but Nigeria is not one of those countries that UK passport holders enter visa free. Matter of fact, it is very difficult for British citizens to get Nigerian visas. I know this because by virtue of my job, I bring in a lot of consultants from the UK and i know the stress I go through to get those visas approved.

I assure you that if Mr. Kanu applies for a Nigerian visa on his British passport, it will be declined given his history. It is thus logical to assume that he indeed travelled to the "Zoo" using his "Zoo" citizen passport.

How did the NCC expect 5 million lines to be disconnected at once? That would have created a crisis of national proportions.

Where was the NCC when the 5 million lines were been registered?

tochukwuifeduba:
Oh infidel we are coming thou shall not wait long we are merely putting the world on notice before we march

Putting the world on notice?

That sounds like a man who has been boasting of how he plans to beat his neighbor to a pulp suddenly calling out to passersby to help separate the fight before it even starts.

I have nothing against Biafra though I am of the belief that we are better off together as one Nigeria.

But if Biafra must secede, it must be done peacefully to avoid needless casualties on both sides.

Justice has never been served through war.

All of the service chiefs including the IG of Police fly on the Presidential fleet jets.

Nice going.

But how did Mr. Wechie, who I assume is based in PH, make it down to Abuja within 1 hour of receiving notice of the senate hearing

Double standard is when Buhari sends EFCC, CCB etc after saraki bc he is not his desired SP, but nominate Amechi whom Rivers state govt set panel indicted for embezzling 53billion naira belonging to the state.

Why didn't buhari put Amechi nomination on hold till he clears his name, after all there are still nominations to be made later?

I guess it all depends on where you stand.

Saraki ' s trial is before a court of law; Amaechi ' s trial is before the media.

Saraki is Senate President recognised by the President and enjoying full paraphernalia of office even though "he is not desired SP" while according to you, Amaechi cannot be appointed minister though he isn't under trial in any court of law.

I say innocent until proven guilty; you say guilty until proven innocent....In some cases.

See what I mean?
