Common with them.

In as much I don't like tinubu and his politics, anyone can attend Swearing in of government appointments as it were as far as you get valid security clearance. So is not a big deal

Both yorubas and igbos and shameless and disgusting in their hatred for each. Uncivilised people, not all of them though, the shameless and Uncivilised and tribal bigots among the two tribes.

The fiscal deficit is a reflection of the fiscal reforms and transparency that this administration is committed to. I believe that in no distant time, we will get to a point where we will be able to fund our budget largely through our revenue and not through borrowing.

can some of you stop talking? Do you now see why everyone was shouting about the president and nass spending on luxury cars, private jet, yatch etc? You can't be earning 200k in a month and be spending 600k in month and behave as if everything is ok

favor914:
But Charlie you were amongst the idiots that supported Endsars to discredit President Buhari back then?

Our area father you were not aware of the consequences of your hypocrisy?

please keep quiet abeg. Read what he wrote if you have small sense left in you. Your comment is disgusting

Zooposki:
I don’t know why Nigerian men can’t control their prick. Any small thing una don begin shake like who them pour cold water.

maybe you girls should help the men to dress well. When you dress seductive, a man going through such habit maybe remember by dressing to engage in it. That man is probably fighting it

I'm so surprised that Buhari is better than Tinubu in all area. May God deliver Nigerians from Tinubu Government

UN will be shamed at the end. What about Israeli murdered and are still being killed? Israeli lives doesn't matter? UN is really supporting terrorists

What's the purpose of having all these important agencies with so many insecurities everywhere? Either the agencies are useless or the people there are useless., it make no sense

ShinnBet:
I believe his resignation had to do with the gun runner who was arrested in a second floor suite of the NLC building.

Either by direct omission or commission, this man did not do his job properly to the best of his abilities and oath of loyalty he took when assuming office.

what about DSS DG? If your assertion is true?

Throwback:
The saner clime is where you can go into a shopping mall and not come out alive, or take a bus or train trip and come out dead without any vehicular accident occuring.

Every breath can be your last in the saner clime.

I wonder what then the outlook is in the insane clime?

even without being told, you can guess who they're. In the saner clime crime do occur but will be caught and furnished but in the insane clime, the crime will occur, the perpetrator will walk free, rewarded as leaders or celebrated.

Same lagos style. Tinubu greed will destroy him. Abacha was worse than him, we all knew how it ends.

These idiots invited these bandits in incase they needed to physically overthrow Jonathan. Jonathan did not give them the chance and now the ant infested firewood they stole has invited lizards.

This world somehow get balance.

seunmsg:
Atiku and the other poorly educated IPOB candidate and their supporters have been crying over an ordinary merger of two NNPC subsidiaries. Those clowns out of either sheer mischief or outright ignorance always make very simple decisions look so complex and dubious.

What exactly is wrong with NNPC merging two petroleum retail companies? What’s the rocket science in this that Atiku cannot understand?

mums defending rubbish.

Chinjo2:
I trust Jonathan.
He will not fall into that trap.

exactly my thoughts, the man isn't a desperate politicians, they tried it in last election, bought form for him, he ignored and rejected them. They ganged up against him removed him, only to destroy the country and now they want him back.

Flat.head.

Is the greatest professor in Africa (Wole Soyinka, the noble Laurette, professor emeritus) that your kinsmen abuse daily not old enough to be your great great grandfather

But our joy is that whoever your kinsmen abuse is destined for greatness. So keep up the abuse.

why will I support anyone insulting Prof? To correct you my friend? I'm not igbo nor Yoruba but where I came from we respect elders so I will never insults elders as I know it's a cursed Biblically and traditionally, it shorten the life span of an individual engaged in it.

Foolishness and waste

DevilsEqual:

I learnt the first constitution was sole-written by Prof Ben Nwabueze and now another Emeka feels that constitution isnt cool


Emeka, most of your kinsmen already said they want Biafra, and that we are unity beggars, why dont u stop begging for unity and just allow the country disintegrate as per say na wetin una want

He should keep his opinion within the Ohaneze-Ndigbo crew

seriously, some of you are sick here. You called someone that can be your grandfather name without fear? My Bible talks about respecting your elders for your day to be long. We should be careful how we live our life

ValCon888:
You're a very big fool and an idiot. As a matter of fact, your ancestors are very useless for procreating up to your generation.

Look at this waste of matter and space. I don't even live in Nigeria, but you were quick to jump on my comment like a frog.

It is your likes that defend the very thieves stealing your children blind.

Because I make a comment every now and then on this platform does not mean I am suffering like your father.

don't mind him, they're government paid agents. People are dying anyhow just because of 1k Malaria drug they can't afford. Some resigning or sacked. A friend elder brother, an inspector in police committed suicide last time because he can't afford to take care of his family with his monthly pay. So many are seriously struggling and he is saying rubbish because of worthless 50k they paid him monthly that can't buy bag of rice

Don't mind tinubu and his stupid teams. Things are bad, instead of fixing it, they're here with useless propaganda. May God deal with enemies of Nigerians called Nigeria government

Flashback: How Ikenga Ugochinyere almost fraudulently scuttled APC registration in 2013

By Kumbi Aderibigbe

For many Nigerians watching the unfolding drama around the dissolution of the Special Investigative Committee set to probe the face-off between billionaire businessman, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and his refinery on one side, and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and the Nigerian Midstream Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA ) on the other, the involvement of House of Representatives members, Ikenga Ugochinyere, brings back distasteful memory of a time gone by.
Representative Ugochinyere is presently, Chairman of the House Committee on Midstream and Downstream. He was also the chairman of the Special Investigative Committee just disbanded by Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker of the House.
Set up by the House following recrimination and counter recrimination between Dangote and NNPCL and NMDPRA, the Committee was expected to impartially investigate the matter and make its findings known to the House for appropriate action.
At issue were Dangote's allegations that the NNPCL and it's partners, the International Oil Companies (IOCs)operating in Nigeria, were refusing to supply his refinery crude for refining, and that the NNPCL had opened a blending plant in Malta for crude refinement.

He also accused the NMDPRA of indiscriminately issuing import licences to marketers to import petroleum products into the country. Denying the allegation against it, the NMDPRA responded by accusing Dangote Refinery of producing diesel with sulphur content well above internationally specified standard.

These were the issues Ugochinyere and his colleagues in the Committee were expected to address but unfortunately, things took a different turn. Contrary to the expectations of the leadership of the House and millions of Nigerians who had become worried over the likely impact of the clash of key players in the Nigerian oil sector on supply of petroleum products in the country, Ugochinyere saw in the committee, a vehicle for promoting his narrow personal interest. He turned the committee into a one-man show, sidelining other members of the committee and writing press statements and addressing press conferences without their knowledge and involvement. The height of his perfidy was his unilaterally absolving Dangote Refinery of wrongdoing and calling for the sack of Mallam Mele Kyari, Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPCL, and Engr. Farouk Ahmed, Authority Chief Executive Officer of NMDPRA, even before the committee had commenced investigation into the matter.
The disbanding of the investigative committee by Speaker Abbas has assuaged the anger of Nigerians even though Ugochinyere’s conduct has left many nonplussed.

Those shocked or surprised by the lawmaker's antics can be forgiven because they know very little about his antecedents. To keen watchers of the Nigerian political scene, his behaviour is consistent with his character.

Eleven years ago, not very many Nigerians knew him or had heard of him but he was suddenly catapulted to national prominence in 2013 when leading opposition political parties seeking an end to the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) hegemony rallied to form a mega party.

They settled for the name, All Progressives Congress with the acronym, APC. As they crossed the t's and dotted the i's of the alliance before seeking formal registration with Nigeria's electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), a group with the same acronym (APC) but with the name, All Peoples Congress, immediately submitted a request for registration as a political party. The move by this group pitted them against the larger body of opposition political parties who claimed to have first come up with the APC acronym. They would also later apply to INEC for registration as a political party.

As the disagreement between the two groups raged, INEC after due consideration of the evidence before it, registered the All Progressives Congress as a party while declining to do the same for the All Peoples Congress. In denying the latter registration, INEC said it breached Section 222 (a) of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution as amended.

INEC's Director, of Public Affairs, Emmanuel Umenger explained that the commission had conveyed it's decision to the group:

“The Commission has written to this political association and had stated in very clear terms that they are in breach of section 222 (a) of the constitution with the additional explanations stated in the letter.

The Commission also observed that the submission made on form PA 1 does not contain the addresses of the national officers of the political association as stipulated and it means this association has the responsibility to prove, because these are the things the commission has observed and the law says if you do not meet any of these requirements you will not be registered as a political party.
“The commission has gone ahead to explain in its letter I have on my table. The letter we have sent today was duly signed by the Secretary to the Commission, Abdulahi Kaugama and it is self explanatory, the letter is dated 21, 2013 which was signed and collected by one Michael Ogani of APC", Umenger said at the time.
The letter as later made avaliable to the public and signed by the INEC’s Secretary, Alhaji Abdulahi Kaugama reads in part:

“Your application for registration as a political party dated 28th February, 2013 refers. The Commission has observed that your association is in breach of Section 222 (a) of the Constitution of the Federal republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) which stipulates as follows: “No association by whatever name called shall function as a political party unless; the names and addresses of its national officers are registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission;.

A close observation of your submitted form PA 1 established that it does not contain the addresses of your national officers as stipulated in the provisions above. Consequently, the commission shall not register the proposed African Peoples Congress (APC) as a political party.”

The party accused INEC of conspiring with the registered APC to deny it acceptance but the electoral body insisted it acted within the purview of the law. It would emerge later that Ugochinyere was one of the key figures floating the All Peoples Congress as a means of preventing the All Progressives Congress' emergence as a political party at a time Nigerians were seeking a genuine alternative to the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to which he belonged.

A young lawyer, Mr. Chinedu Samuel Nwokorie, a 2011 graduate of the Nigerian Law School in Bwari, Abuja, blew the lid off Ugochinyere’s caper with his revelation in a newspaper interview that he was hired by Ugochinyere to scuttle the registration bid of the now ruling APC. Nwokorie told Nigerians in that interview:

“Ugochinyere Ikenga approached me sometime in February 2013 to put in an application for the registration of a political party by name African Peoples Congress,” Nwokorie said, expressing regrets and denying that he was a politician of any sort.
“He paid me an initial sum of N30,000 and later added another N50,000 and a Samsung Galaxy phone after I had filed the papers, with a promise that he was going to settle me after the party must have been registered.

“I filed the application in the honest belief that it was just another political party because even the application I entered at INEC only bears the name African Peoples Congress. The acronym APC was not included in the application.
“So there was no way I could have visualize, whether or not there was an ulterior motive in the registration of that political party. I was, however, surprised to see my name all over the newspapers, including the sample of the application letter I wrote to INEC.

“I wish to let Nigerians know that I am not a politician in anyway whatsoever. I regret the issues at hand and the dimension the entire thing is taking.”
The young lawyer who studied law in Cameroun before going to law school in Abuja added that each time he developed cold feet on the issue, Ugochinyere was always on hand to egg him on. He said:

“He keeps telling me not to worry, that I should be a man and that he would handle the matter. He also said that the real owners of the party would soon be revealed to Nigerians.

“Once again, I want to tell Nigerians that I just took a brief as a young lawyer and it ended there. I don’t know the sponsors of the party. The only person I know is Ugochinyere Ikenga, who gave me the brief.
“I got to know Ikenga through a friend. I thought it wise to come out and tell Nigerians the entire story because I keep receiving calls all-day through. My major concern now is my letter head, which is in the custody of INEC.

From the evidence above, it is clear that Ugochinyere has a history of involvement in dubious enterprises and of manipulating people to achieve his aim. After collecting what must be a handsome pay cheque from his sponsors to scuttle the APC'S registration plan, he shamelessly and unconscionably recruited a young and aspiring lawyer and paid him peanuts to put his fledgling career on the line.
For those in doubt of Ugochinyere's status as a hatchet and gun for hire, a March 16, 2013 report in Premium Times, a leading online news platform in Nigeria, lends credence to his ability to take on hatchet jobs. The report titled, "PDP disowns hatchet man, Ikenga; says ACN behind “APC” name crisis for attention", noted:

"Multiple media investigations have exposed Mr. Ikenga, a card-carrying member of the PDP, as the individual behind the formation of African Peoples Congress, APC, a rival controversial group seeking to be registered as a political party under the acronym “APC” already adopted by a merger of four opposition parties.

"The effort is suspected to be aimed at thwarting the new coalition, namely Action Congress of Nigeria, Congress for Progressive Change, All Nigeria Peoples Party and All Progressive Grand Alliance, seeking to form the All Progressives Congress.

"A figure well known to similar underhanded deals at the behest of the ruling party, Mr. Ikenga’s scheme this time, to launch the new party, has struck off intense crisis between the opposition parties and the PDP, accused of backing him.
"In a statement on Saturday, the PDP denied the allegation, a refutation it has repeatedly made. The party said Mr. Ikenga’s past, which saw him also lead a campaign against the current chairman of the party, Bamanga Tukur, had rendered him an “estranged fellow” who cannot be an agent of the party.

“To the best of our knowledge, no member of the PDP is involved in the formation of any other political organization, neither are we interested in the activities of any other Party,” the party said in a statement signed by spokesperson, Olisa Metuh.

“The alleged involvement of one Ugochinyere Imo Ikenga in the formation of the other APC has no bearing whatsoever on us. From our findings, Mr. Ikenga’s recent activities, including his unsavoury attacks and illicit campaign for the dissolution of the the Bamanga Tukur led National Working Committee makes him an estranged fellow and therefore can never be an agent of the PDP in anyway.”

Eleven years down the line, he has perfected the art of manipulation and honed his predilection for scheming into an art. Men like Ugochinyere are a menace to society and must be stopped. It is good the investigative committee he turned into a cash cow has been disbanded. It is just a start. Speaker Abbas must go a step further to remove him as head of the Committee on Midstream and Downstream for if he doesn't, it will only be a matter of time before he makes his next move.

assuming he succeeded in making inec denied them registration then, we won't be where we are today. APC is a disaster

LocalStandard1:
What do you know about Elon Musk? A very very success American billionaire, the richest person in American and the world. With a very controversial life, past, opinions and political views in America too. Right? Correct!

Let me add some more about the story of Elon musk.

He is actually a White South African born and raised and during the Apartheid regime. His father is a wealthy and obviously privileged person of European descent.

Now observe this reality. Elon Musk is born of privilege and enjoys same in a very unjust country, he then moved to a similar country with similar history and became so success. But Elon Musk is not the most intelligent, strongest or hardest worker in America. But very lucky and highly privileged. And because he's White European descent is at the fore of his success, both from his origin in South Africa and then America.

Now Elon Musk is almost deified by the whites in America even with his background, especially among the Republicans and 'conservatives' particularly.

But my dear African, let us now observe the story of Chidimna briefly.

She is born in South Africa (unlike Musk in America), only knows that country as her own but is now facing so much extreme hate and share malice from not only the Black South Africans but even Africans, and Nigerians too, for every reasons, albeit unproven, under heaven. She faces hate even among the so-called Black Americans. No support from anywhere but malice!

Have you yet seen why Africans are always last in all areas till now? More examples...

At one time the Muslims from the middle East, Ottomans, Persia and North Africa ruled Europe. They practically colonized the Europeans and enslaved them for hundreds of years, just like the Europeans today to Africa.

But Europe, unified by Christianity, came together under a single European supremacy ideology and not only pushed the Arabs and Muslims back, but conquered them and the whole world and then set their eyes on Africa. And till now you're a slave to them, now through mentally that is.

Now let us talk about Chidinma and the South African mentality.

There are millions of Asians (Chinese, Indians Arabs etc.), Europeans, Americans, South Americans, Australians, New Zealanders in South Africa. Occupying every, I mean every, areas of the country even politics. Direct immigrants from Asia and Europe are elected into political and public offices in South Africa. One British even registered a political party in South Africa and is gaining popularity. A Chinese woman is elected in congress in South Africa, more than 2 million illegal Europeans in South Africa today doing far better than the millions of the Blacks and comparable to the White South Africans

Today in Nigeria we've seen how a governorship aspirants got bullied, attacked, denied, rejected and many more because he has an Igbo mother. We've seen how Nigeria sinks into the abyss because even now the average Nigerian, African Black person, still thinks, expresses himself, sees himself and regards his fellow Black person with the mentality, mindset, and emotions of a caveman, primitive cave entity.

Since I discovered and acknowledged this mentality in me too and actively seek to change it my life has never remained the same again. From a total orphan, who never knew or even seen the pictures of his parents, owned nothing and hungry, I rose above the majority and even in my twenties today I could see a future better than most for my self.

That is why Africa, Africans, Nigeria and the people are not and will never be successful and break the yoke of this penury and servitude and puppetry to everyone else. And even if an african is a Pastor or a Nobel laurete and Professor, as is the case of Enoch Adeboye and Wole Soyinka respectively, their minds is still stock in primitve tribalism and hate for the next African, jealously and misplaced negative emotions.

Your hearts and mentality towards yourselves is your biggest limitation to your societies. The story of Elon Musk compared to Chidimma is prove of that.

I'm 95% sure you're an Igbo and it shows in your write up. You Spoke very well but implicate yourself in the bolded. The major destroyer of this country are the igbos and Yorubas until you guys decide to change your mentality and stop disgracing Nigeria Nigeria will be better for it. Tribal hatred run in Igbo and Yoruba blood no matter how you want to make sense, they still enslaved themselves mentally with bitter hatred.
