Goodluck to Mr. Mba. I only hope the new man is as articulate as Mr. Mba and brings as much or even more finesse to the role.

So Ribadu is now in the same party as Fani Kayode, Alams, Bode George, James Ibori, Patience Jonathan and co.....na wah o.

Smh.

From this story, it is clear that the arrested fellow is no terrorist...just another hapless victim of our growing national paranoia and fear of anyone that answers a Hausa or Muslim name.

The way terrorist cells are structured, there is no way a foot soldier will have the kind of details this "terrorist" is reported to have given the police. Foot soldiers are usually given the barest information to avoid them singing if they fail in their assignment and are taken into custody. What you don't know, you can't disclose.

Besides, that device the guy had around his neck looked more like some discarded vehicle part than an IED.

E be like say Naija police don beat nonsense and bastard into the poor guy body, e don dey tok nonsense.

All the same, kudos to the security men for been on the alert.

Eldavido1: Hyundai sonata 1.5m cheap is u ask me!

I don't think they will sell the locally assembled Sonata for as low as 1.5million naira.

The prices internationally range between 21k - 28k USD minus cost of importation and clearing.

Truth is that a brand new car trumps a tokunbo of a similar brand anyday. I just hope Stallion will not be selling stripped down versions of these vehicles in Nigeria.

I especially hope they are not cutting down on standard safety features like Airbags and ABS.

Fantastic development though.

Ngeneukwenu u r a marrafackin mad man....or woman!!!

MRbrownJAY: @OP
can someone tell me what will havinf fighter jets and tank would do against BH?! you dont fight terrorism in your own country with fighter jets and tanks, you fight it with intelligence on the ground, [b][/b]secret services that actually work so that you can infiltrate these cells and expose them.

You mean not the type that wears mask and arrests opposition politicians at midnight or issues flippant statements on national tv?

Alas we are done for

That's the only type of secret service we have

Nairaland....the new bastion of comic relief for Nigerians home and abroad

I assume this "suspension" is just something to jolt the striking doctors into returning to work.

I hope it works...the strike has gone on for too long.

Successive governments have shown that the only language of negotiation they understand is strike. So we are going to continue to endure these inconveniences for a long time to come.

I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist. But there is definitely more to this whole Ebola hoopla than meets the eye.

Nayoanalytical: The best thing is to put Lai Mohammed behind the bar,he talks too much.During OBJ's regime,could he have spoken this way?He should thank his God that Mr President is a gentleman.

The Ogar of DSS is well educated and refined in her presentation.None of these APC guys is educated and that is why they make hell of noise.

I listened to her on Channels TV's Sunrise programme this morning. Sadly, while Lai Mohammed may be given to crying wolf sometimes, he wasn't too far off the mark this time.

She sounded a lot like Fani Kayode with her flippant responses to the posers thrown at her by the presenters as she attempted to defend the DSS' activities in Osun during the allegations. She made wild allegations against the APC without any verifiable proofs.

If Marilyn Ogar is a representation of the intellectual and operational quality of personnel we have in our elite secret service, then it is no wonder we are where we are security wise.

May God help Nigeria.

Obiagelli: i will give up on nigerian politics if this guy goes to the pdp.

I gave up on Nigerian politics a long time ago.

1wolex85: simple question, nobody has answered.

Why are we borrowing 1bill dollars to fight bokoharam if the excess crude account has increased?

Someone who has a logical explanation should please post.

Don't mind all this jokers pulling statistics from Okonjo Iweala's powerpoint presentations as usual.

JEITO: Sanusi lamido sanusi following the footsteps of Abacha since 1759

He went to sign an agreement that brought Islamic banking into Nigeria.



Since then......

All he did was conclude the work that Soludo started during his tenure.

Na person like you go baff salt water to prevent Ebola...

Errrrr...why does this document look like it was typed on one of those manual typewriters from 1960 popular with those itinerant typists usually found close or within the precincts of most of our High Courts?

ROSSIKE: IT IS PURE SUB-STANDARD RUBBISH WORK.
EVERY DRAIN MUST be covered, and covered in such a way, with solid concrete, and form a pedestrian sidewalk which nobody can ''open'', with the drains accessible to the authorities (workmen) only through vents built on the side of the road (between the road and sidewalk). It is only when you build substandard rubbish that you see all this nonsense of open, stinking drains and somebody needing to 'clear' the drains and all that filthy nonsense.

Chief the drains are covered. The work up to Mile 2 was handled by Julius Berger who have a reputation for doing quality work.

kettykin: how much is Oby Ezekwesili donating

She is not a billionaire.

There is nothing special in the ruling IMHO.

From the article, the supreme court only ruled on a technicality in the process of making the law. It did not rule on whether a ban on homosexuality impedes the exercise of the civil rights of Ugandan homosexuals. Therefore if the lawmakers are still bent on outlawing homosexuality, all they need to do is repackage the bill and this time ensure they form a quorum as required by law and the ban will be right back.

The truth of the matter is that for as long as Uganda has a President that is anti-gay and not favorably disposed to accepting western values and a people that are largely anti-gay, homosexuals in Uganda are on a very long thing.(No pun intended )

It is a shame how every serious issue in this country is reduced to a PDP vs APC argument or a PRO-GEJ vs ANTI-GEJ discourse.

A rally of the magnitude planned by this youths to hold in ABuja is ill-advised at a time like this. I hope they see reason and either postpone it or hold it in a safer state.

The rally does not have to hold in Abuja for it to make the necessary point that they support GEJ and want him to run in next year's elections.

theoctopus: For your information, the PTF probe showed Buhari was corrupt. That was one reason he shunned the oputa panel and he went on to say Abacha was not corrupt to hide his own corruption. He is a crook

Yet this government and previous ones before it have not been able to use the results of this your fictional "PTF probes" to jail or at least impugn Buhari's integrity all this years.

Instructive.

HH: Enough has been said how Nigeria would have collapsed if the Bomb blast in any way hurt Buhari. It appears enough attention and protection is given to these "big Boys" in naija. What about the over 4000 innocent people killed by boko haram without government concern. aint they important

Were you not in this country when this government and its agents alleged that Buhari's loss of the 2011 elections led to wide spread carnage and the murder of 100s of innocent Nigerians and youth corpers serving their country in the North of Nigeria?

If an ordinary election loss could spark off such madness, what do you think Buhari's death in a bomb blast would cause?

Face it man...it is a good thing the man wasn't physically affected by that blast. Even Asari Dokubo with all his media sabre rattling broke out in a cold sweat at what could have been if Buhari had died in that blast.

Buhari is not more important than the thousands who have died from bomb blasts. But he would have immediately become the face of victims nationwide and triggered severe crisis across the country. Don't forget he has rabid followership even outside the North.

EasternLeopard: We warned you guys that Sanusi enthronement will open Kano's gate to BH

Most of you do not know that Sanusi is an educated Jihadist

You sound very excited about the Kano bombings.

If I was a conspiracy theorist, I would conclude that you and your gang are the ones dropping bombs in Kano and blaming it on BH just so you can brag about how right you were about how you "warned you guys that Sanusi enthronement will open Kano's gate to BH."

I could also conclude that your gang is now using female bombers to help government conclude that all of the missing Chibok girls are a lost cause as they have been radicalized and converted to a ready kamikaze Islamic army.

Kai! Thank God I am not a conspiracy theorist o!

JACKOFALTRADE: You seems happy. slowpoke!!!
So, your people had to attack an Islamic school. . . To prove some shits.

Did you just feel like insulting the poor fella or do you have issues with basic comprehension?

Now they have switched to using women for their madness.

But wait o!

If a male suicide bomber kills himself because he has twisted hopes for an eternity with 72 virgins at his beck and call, what does the female suicide hope for

So who has been tweeting nonsense from the Asari Dokubo handle?

When I saw the picture of that "dan daudu" been circulated as the mastermind of the Buhari attack, I knew we had been sold another load of bull crap!

The speed with which our security agencies "arrest" and parade suspects after each bomb blast is suspicious. Makes one wonder how come they are unable to stop the attacks before they happen if they are that good.

We have lost our humanity as Nigerians.

Onlinebizexpert: [center]NOTE: AM NOT IN SUPPORT OF EXTRA JUDICIAL KILLINGS[/center]

You are not in support of extra judicial killings From your post, you could have fooled me...

idumuose: Buhari knows if doesn't win 2015 election,then he can never contest election again because age will no longer be on his side.

Therefore it is very possible that Buhari will employ all the tricks in his arsenal to win public sympathy including hiring some touts to pull those stunts in Kaduna.

If he could hire criminals wearing the garb of Mossad to Kidnap Dikko then what stops him from hiring some hoodlums to bomb his convoy.

It is logical for anyone to suspect foul play (even though I don't) in the attempt on Buhari's life. Thank God he did not die.

I hope you will be fair enough to also suspect foul play if a similar attempt is made on the life of the President or any other senior member of this government in the PDP and people begin to allege that it was a suicide attempt on his part to curry public sympathy.
