Yyeske:
This was my worst fear already unveiling right before my eyes, Osinbajo must be be too weak to have allowed it come to this.

What would he have done that won't have resulted in the lost of lives and property in the region? As it stands now, if NK is arrested, it would require force to tame his diehard follower.

This is exactly what I feared would happen.
Gradually the struggle in turning inwards towards brothers.
Is there anything we could do to forestall this before it gets out of hand?
Obiano may be lenient now because of the forthcoming election, but believe me, after the elections, whether he wins or not, he won't tolerate this insubordination and that may spell doom.

AmuDimkpa:
I don't believe Igbos are divided. Biafra is something every thorough bred Igbo man learns to love from childhood and would jump at her realisation. However, his methods and hate speeches are against what some of us believe in. Going to the West and North is like telling the world that he is not serious about the agitation but just wants to cause unnecessary trouble.

I mean his approach recently

AmuDimkpa:
Exactly my thought . I don't really understand what he is going to Lagos or Kaduna for. Is he going to a Yoruba land to talk about Biafra or the North to tell them he wants to destroy a country they don't want to disintegrate. I don't know if he has advisers but this is one of the most foolish things ever. It is even an insult for him to take his gospel into other people's regions, especially people who do not believe in the ideology. Really disappointed in his approach, I think the gods are making him deaf.

The gods that are making him deaf should please focus on him alone and spare other well meaning Igbos scattered all over the nation.

My worry is that the worst harm is about to or may result from the best of intentions.
As we speak, the Igbos are even more divided than united concerning this agitation.

Why go to Lagos at this time? Have you fully sensitized the Eastern states where many are still not in support of IPOB? Not even a visit to Asaba yet.
Clearly, this is a trap. NK knows going outside the Eastern states may trigger violence or resistance from the FGN or the usual 'i-don-kia' attitude from the near non-existent government we have in Nigeria. I guess the FGN had been calm knowing arresting/sentencing him may trigger violence that will definitely lead to the death of many innocent/ignorant ones. But NK doesn't seem to care about the lives of his people, after all he has said it's Biafra or death. A leader should care about the lives of his people. You may say 'there is nothing wrong with his protest as long as it remains peaceful.' How do violence break out? Is it not from quarreling/name calling that people move to exchanging blows?
Please NK, the world is not coming to an end tommorrow. There is plenty of time to strategize and set other logistics (territory, allies, economic policies, political structures, etc) in place before provoking a violent agitation. For the sake of a few innocent ones, please slow down and listen to the voice of reason. The world is watching!

obonujoker:
If your leader was sensible, it wouldn't have gotten to this level we are in now...

Could you please suggest what could have been done

"No person resident in Rivers State and sees what we are suffering from the APC Federal Government..."
In my opinion, (APC Federal Government may not be doing well but) if those resident in Rivers state are suffering, it is not the Federal Government's fault unless they deny you your monthly allocation. FGN is not stopping you from taking good care of your people.
Take charge and deliver good governance to your smaller domain and leave FGN to grapple with their larger domain with their numerous challenges.

Sapiosexuality:
So what are you saying?

I am saying that;
- we should all join hands against corruption and corrupt government/non-government officials irrespective of our ethnic, religious or political affiliations.
- Asari, in a sane country, would have either being in jail or executed, and therefore should quietly enjoy his new-found ill-gotten wealth and not to be talking as one who has authority.
- that Dazani should be tried and if found guilty, made to pay for it.
- $90 billion is nothing compared to what those our ogas see and steal in years in Nigeria.
Finally, that we youths should begin to think right - without sentiments and prejudice if we are going to be any better than the people we criticise.

jomonic:
You can never attain probity or uprightness in the society when the prefects of anti-corruption themselves are of the same stock if not worse as their targets. Never!!!

Agreed.
But let's start from somewhere. Government continues. When these "prefects" are done with there 'catch our enemies' approach of fighting corruption, the next set of prefects should go after them (I mean that from my heart), with time the consciousness of fighting corruption in its real way will come instead of ignoring or abating corruption.

Sapiosexuality:
To me, it doesn't make any sense. I personally suspect Deziani to be a thief but I also know, from the figures reeled out, that certain persons and powers like Osun Defender she mentioned while still a Minister are after her. I strongly believe there is something she denied some persons that resulted in these media focus. If Abacha stole 30 Billion Doellars Nigeria would have crashed.

But Nigerian economy is/has been crashed already na.
What does recession mean?
In case you don't know, $90 billion is nothing go those in the oil sector.

Note. I am not saying she stole that amount please.

jomonic:
Remove the log from your eyes before turning to the speck in the eyes of another. Are you one of them

One of who? Those who support corruption? No. Those who crucify someone for stealing #5,000 while I steal in millions? No.
Since none is a saint, should we allow the armed robbers, kidnappers, drug peddlers, etc go free?

Where is the place of morals in our society today?

netflicks:
Take corruption out of the country u cause chaos...leave it and everybody will live in harmony...Its more like a tradition..

My broooother! The thing tire me o.
I remember Nigerians use to say our major problem was corruption and that once that was dealt with everything will be ok.
Were we expecting that;
- what has been "more like a tradition" will just go away in 4 years?
- those who will fight the corruption will be 'saints' or imported from the moon?

Sapiosexuality:
Lol. That's like Nigeria's 4 years budget. That's my problem with Magu's EFCC and most Nigerians who claim to be educated. Somebody is accused of stealing 90 billion dollars and automatically she becomes a thief. What happened to the courts?

When I was still a corp member, a guy who served 3 years before me told me that Okonjo-Iweala stole 33 Trillion Naira. Lololol. Deziani could be a thief but no Nigerian, Dead or Alive ever stolen 90 billion dollars. No Nigerian, Dead or Alive, has stolen up to 30 Billon dollars. Some people can't reason. If you steal 30Billion Dollars, Nigeria will crash. And 90? Smh.

Did you just say "If you steal 30Billion Dollars, Nigeria will crash?" Alright, the amount she stole is not up to that, but do you think all the amount looted by others including Dasuki is not up to that? If you think so, then you underestimated how rich Nigeria is but if you believe it's up to that, then why are Nigerians 'wondering'/crying about recession and blaming the present administration?
Nigerian budget is just estimations, not real figures. Not even the Accountant General of the Federation can effectively determine how much inflow Nigeria generates.

nobleblood:
Did bubu answers his own allegations. Nobody say she did not steal. We all know she does. But so have all those APC. No matter how much they shout thief. We all know they just want the money to change account that's all. Not one is interested in their crap. Anyone who is taking this men seriouse is the real fool.

So what should we do to be wise? Support the one that has been exposed because we hate the one that exposed the crime?

jomonic:
Asari is right. The biggest hypocrites in the world are Nigerians. For example an APC supporter recently told me in an exchange that Fayose lacks intellectual capacity for his role as governor. The exchange came to an abrupt halt after I requested him to compare and contrast between Fayose and Buhari on intellectual capacity basis. He could not as there's no basis. All the men who plundered Nigeria are working free today. They are excused because they created space for the present unjust political order. Therefore Jonathan's government alone must bear the brunt of critical review and punishment for mis-governance of over 5 decades.

So what is your point exactly?

“The CSO to the President is an 'ordinary' policeman, who I assume, is just a little over and above my own CSO. I am a governor, a governor of a state. I felt that was an insult...

Ordinary? It's ok o.

Oya, Lare, grab your keypad!

ofuonyebi:
One thing is clear in this matter:

We have an Acting President who had integrity and principle

A Leader who knows where is going and cannot be hoodwinked

to perform bids for a robot and self-glory and vengeance seeking Governor

Ofuonyebi...

mavinc4u:
Mad for doing what exactly? He only played maturity by following him, as for me, I will ignore him and walk out on him, who is he?

He is Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. Tha A.g President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Please who are you?

wristbangle:
Well... the level of corruption is still the same as far as concern though the countries ahead of Nigeria in the index may have cases of more looming corruption practice.

Then Nigeria is not as bad after all.
Those Nations have citizens...Nigeria can only change if we change.

smartty68:
And you're happy over our position bah

Obviously, the statistics is wrong about Nigeria. Now tell me what you or any other person can boast of as a Nigerian...

Listen dear, what's bad is bad nothing can dispute that. Sin is sin no matter how small it is.

When your favourites were in power, we were consistently among the top four. Then the statistics were 'good' or bad which ever way we look at it, the world saw us and related with us that way. Now, the same organization has told the world we are 'changing' but that is bad news.
Try and be positive, it will help you alot...

Nne5:
Good news.

Nne, is that you?

Dear Dino.
Greetings.
Let me start by stating I do not subscribe to sponsored/politically motivated recall (i.e, if that's the case), you should know that it is the duty of INEC and not the court, to declare "that the petition forwarded to INEC was invalid and of no effect..that it was signed by fictitious, dead and none existing persons."
Let them do there constitutional duty afterwhich, you can go to the court if you so wish.
Hope you will pray thesame court to stop the conduct of election in your senetorial district come 2019.
Accept my warmest regards!

RoyalUc.

Gradually...

modsfucker:
The hawker don become Fayose's property now, so keep off.

Fayose's property? Who is Fayose!? Do you know who I am!? If you want to know, go to my village and ask of my father's compound and if they don't know my father, ask of my mother's father's and if they don't know, then ask of the guy who is tall, dark and handsome

So I should keep off? That's not fair o...

modsfucker:
Apparently A hawker

Guy, please can you hook me up to her? I'm seriously searching o...

smartty68:
How pathetic that the posters above me actually fell for the lies

*Leaders who don't respect his/her people
*Leaders who are self-centered
*Leaders who are not transparent
*Leaders without visions/mission
*Leaders who can't define what leadership is
*Pasts and present leaders failed
*Nigeria is a lost Nation.
*Its citizens are gullible and can't defend what's right
*Citizens who applauds criminals just for mere gratifications

I shame for Naija.

Just a day trip by those cretins has caused Nigeria millions of Naira/Dollars.

Buhari needs to resign or die overseas or patronize Made in Naija Doctors. We just can't continue to be applauding failed leaderships and hoping that one day they'll fulfill their empty promises which won't ever happened.

There was a country!!!

I usually ignore this type of comment but I can't help but respond to this.

Do you have a father?
In all honesty, has your father not failed you (if not, you won't be here), your family, village, state and nation at large?
What sort of bitterness and hatred will grip a soul to this level?
The person you are talking about is somebody's father. His children are all doing well. He has gotten to the highest level in this nation twice. In my rating, he is already accomplished.

My advise.
- Be careful what you wish others 'cos it could come back to you.
- Be careful what you post online 'cos it will be dug up against you in the future. No matter how well you plan your life, you don't know where you will be tomorrow.

Awaiting the usual...

The guy seems to be diehard PDP supporter.

Politics aside, whether they are comparing themselves against themselves, the result is commendable and should encouraged.

Just like someone said up there, we pray and hope the revenue will be used judiciously.

tuniski:
It not tenable to be blaming pdp for apc's impotence. In fact, it is an admission that pdp's worst is better than apc's best! Afterall, they are nothing but hiders/gang behind buhari. The buhari is now demystified as a disaster!

You are managing your home and someone keep saying he can handle it better, small time your wife poisoned you so he took over the home; from that point everything went from manageable to bad, worse and worst. All the wife hears is that the poisoned husband left the house in bad shape. What nonsense!

Ok o...PDP's worst is better than APC's best!

I am neither a member nor supporter of APC but i was not comfortable with the comparison.

I've not see any road or any other public infrastructure built by PDP that APC destroyed.
Not even a working policy was outrightly repealed, as a matter of fact, most of the policies and executions of this government are adopted/inherited and modified where necessary (education curriculum, agricultural blueprint, railway project, TSA, etc) from previous administration unlike what is happening in the US with OBAMACARE.

For now, the major difference btw both parties is the level of impunity and unbridled looting which characterized the PDP

Yyeske:
Who asked you if you support that albino Nnamdi kanu, if you reside within Anambra, just sit at home and make sure you take enough nsala and chilled Hero lager.

Oboy...you don dey make that thing hungry me now.

You are a great guy!

tuniski:
ApC too needs to apologize for deceiving nigerians then quit cos of incompetence and hypocrisy . PDP's worst is better than APC's best!

I agree that APC's handdling of things in recent times has been shrouded in secrecy and thus, qualifies as deception but "PDP's worst is better than APC's best?" Sincerely, that's not true. APC has being in power for two and compare their mess with that of a people that ruled for sixteen years? I don't think that'll be fair.
APC's 'incompetence' is pronounced because of the high hopes we had and their unrealistic promises.
Very importantly, the system was already headed for ...let me just hold my peace.

APC = PDP - (Makarfi, et al +/- Sarraki, et al)
