Politics / Jonathan: Obasanjo Is The Boss Of Bosses… Ignore Him At Your Peril by samebony1: 9:27am On Nov 13, 2017
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has described ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo as the “boss of bosses”, saying any politician who ignores the elder statesman does so at his own peril.

Jonathan said this while speaking with Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation Magazine, on the 2019 election.


GEJ finally accepts BABAOBJ as the DON

It was PDP that was padding budgets and getting away with it. The coming of APC helped us to expose the evil.
PDP did not implement any budget 100% in the 16 years of misrule, otherwise they would not have been voted out

Politics / Curious Silence Of Anti Buahri Elements After 2018 Budget Estimates Presentation by samebony1: 1:57pm On Nov 08, 2017
After yesterday's 2018 Budget estimates presentation by PMB, most anti Buhari elements are maintaining a very loud silence.
Are they disappointed that PMB could stand the rigor of speaking for over 60 minutes without falling asleep
or that he made provisions of 10 billion naira for the 2nd Niger Bridge ?
I hope their problem is not that he increased provisions for the Niger Delta ministry to 53.89 billion naira
apart from 79.40 billion naira for the Niger Delta Development Commission
and another 17.32 billion for the East West Road.

PMB has shown that he indeed is up to the task of governing Nigeria

Politics / Fresh Trouble Set To Brew In Enugu Over E by samebony1: 9:40am On Nov 01, 2017
Alex Ekwueme, former Vice-President, has been admitted to the hospital after he reportedly collapsed in his Enugu residence.

The 85 years old second Republic Vice President was said to have gone into a coma soon after he collapsed.

The Family members who were supposed to inform the Enugu state governor of the development instead choose to call Peter Obi, ex Anambra State governor

According to a Family member “He was trying to get something from the table when he suddenly collapsed and immediately someone raised the alarm, we proceeded to revive him while cautious enough not to attract neighbours.

“When it became obvious that he had lapsed into coma, we rushed him to a hospital (unnamed) in government reserved area, but we were referred to Memphys Hospital by medical consultants who had critically examined his condition.

“When there was no sign of improvement on Monday afternoon, we rallied round and informed the former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, who is like a son, and he has been making plans to fly him overseas.”

The Enugu state governor was only informed after Ekwueme had been taken to hospital . Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, governor of Enugu state, who visited Ekwueme at the hospital, was said to have broken down in tears on seeing his condition.

Foreign Affairs / Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort Indicted On $75 Million Money-laundering by samebony1: 3:39pm On Oct 30, 2017
Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his onetime business partner and protege Rick Gates surrendered to federal authorities on Monday as the first charges from the probe of possible Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election were unsealed.

The pair appeared at FBI headquarters to be processed and left on their own recognizance after just a few hours.

The indictment against Manafort, 68, and Gates, 45, includes 12 separate criminal counts: conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) statements, false statements, and seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts.

The government alleges that at least $75 million was moved by Manafort to offshore accounts without declaring the income to the government. Form there Manafort allegedly withdrew $18 million to fund a lavish lifestyle, and Gates pulled another $3 million out.

Foreign Affairs / Catalonia's President Flees Into Exile by samebony1: 2:30pm On Oct 30, 2017
Ousted Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont fled to Brussels on Monday as his separatist movement collapsed and Spain's top prosecutor called for him to be charged with rebellion, sedition and embezzlement.

Mr Puigdemont had vowed to defy Madrid by turning up to work despite threats of arrest and even tweeted a picture of the presidential palace roof, but never appeared.

Belgian authorities had suggested that the ousted president could be granted asylum if he faced the threat of arrest in his home country, but his status is not yet clear.

Former speaker Carme Forcadell was also ordered to hand herself over to police. She was pictured arriving at the parliamentary palace in Barcelona on Monday where she announced the government was dissolving.

The extraordinary turn of events has shocked many in Catalonia, with unionists jubilant while many separatists reacted with a sense of anger and humiliation.

Catalonia is not a Spanish slave. They do not produce a greater share of Spain's GDP nor have a larger part of the population. Even Barcelona FC says they will still prefer to play in the Spanish La Liga if Catalonia breaks away. That says a lot about the motive of the so called pro-independent parties behind this move

This is the usual politics being played by a few who want to create a kingdom for themselves, thereby creating a new ruling class, while the gullible masses are manipulated to go on the street to protest.

You sound pained by my stance on the truth. Anyways it appears you stay in a remote village in SW or northern Nigeria and for this reason you are not aware of the 50 Naira media that yorubass control, whenever you get the opportunity to visit any of these cities Lagos, Abuja, Ph check the newspaper stands.

You will see the likes of PM news, Odua herald, the vioce, and many others some are even published and circulated in yoruba language, if you are yorubass whenever you visit lagos go the any of this under bridge where newspapers are sold, and verify these truths oshodi, ojuelegba, cms, yaba, surulere etc you will be amaze.

Next time dont be to emotional always stand by the side of truth dont be corrupted by the lies of this administration.[/s]


There is much virtue in keeping quiet when you lack intelligent thing to say.
If only you understand the concept of community newspaper or provincial newspaper, you would not have advertised yourself in this mode. As I said earlier, I will attempt again to educate you, IF THIS IS POSSIBLE

In every community in the world where literate people exists, you are bound to find local newspapers that cater ot the peculiar needs of such communities. In the North, we have Dessert Herald, Kogi Graphic, in the South South , we have National Network, Ibom Nation, Global concord and others. In Lagos state,we have Oriwu Sun in Ikorodu and others.

In the East, there is the Biafra Herald and Abia Facts newspaper to mention but a few. But least I forget, IFOB Newspaper circulating in the South East and Delta.

Doublecheck:
Yes, it is true that The Igbo's and their SS neighbors control the bulk if the major dailies but the reality is that yorubass and majority of northerners can not afford to pay 150-250 naira to read them so they settle for the low budget 50 naira journals which yorubass control and dominate.

The term Lagos - Ibadan does not connote the major dailies it is simply a dipiction of the propaganda journals which yorubass control so OP i hope i have been able to educate you, please feel free to call the mods to close this thread since your logic is flawed and you have little understanding of what you write.

Thank you.

It is obvious that your response flows from a prism tainted with tribal bigotry and self-inflicted primordial mind set. But I will attempt to educate you, assuming that is possible.

Politics / Intels Apologises To FG Over Termination Of Pilotage Agreement With NPA by samebony1: 11:34am On Oct 20, 2017
Gabriele Volpi, founder of Intels, has apologised to the federal government over the dispute that resulted in the termination of his company’s pilotage agreement with the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).

The agreement had allowed Intels to receive revenue on behalf of NPA for seven years
Reacting to the incident, Volip said Intels will “comply with the directive of government” and transfer all the revenue collected from the boats monitoring and supervision services in Nigerian maritime waters to the TSA.

“We want to apologise to the federal government and NPA over this disagreement with Intels. I was not personally involved in the negotiations with NPA, but we apologise for what has happened,” Volpi told THISDAY.

“We intend to comply with the directive of government and transfer all the revenue to the TSA because we are a law-abiding company.

Furthermore, Volip said Intels remained committed to the development of the Badagry deep seaport.

“We are committed to co-operating with the government and NPA in the development of Nigeria’s maritime sector and this includes the Badagry deep seaport,” he said.

“The Badagry deep seaport is a massive undertaking which will cost billions of dollars and will be the biggest in Africa and would turn Nigeria into a regional hub for ships bringing goods to the continent.

“It will also help to move a lot of shipping activities at the Apapa and Tin-can Island ports and help to decongest Apapa, so we are serious about our investments in Nigeria.”

Atiku Abubakar, ex-Vice President, is the co-founder of the company.

Politics / South South & South East Control Nigerian Nespapers by samebony1: 11:23am On Oct 20, 2017

It is not uncommon for people who felt aggrieved by items featured in Nigerian newspapers to resort to the old line of Lagos- Ibadan press axis.
They would like the gullible majority to believe that most of the newspapers in Nigeria are controlled by the people of Lagos and Ibadan, in Oyo state. But a cursory glance of the list below shows that most of the 12 mayor Daily newspapers in Nigeria as at today are controlled by non Yorubas. Of these number,

Yorubas control four
Delta State control four
Ibos control three
While Hausa/Fulani control One

Combined, the south south & south east control seven of the major nespapers.

Have they forgotten that there is a Federal university already in Benue state.
Where do they expect funds for the university to be sourced from, are they ready to volunteer their jumbo allowances to run the school ? Why was this Bill not tabled by David Mark when he was Senate President for Eight years.

Politics / Osinbajo Not Running For 2019 Presidency by samebony1: 9:55am On Oct 10, 2017
Nigeria's Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who has served as acting president for much of this year, said on Monday he had not given any thought to contesting the country's next presidential election in 2019.

Nigeria has faced heightened uncertainty over whether President Muhammadu Buhari plans to contest the next election. Buhari, 74, took power in 2015 but has been absent for much of this year due to illness.

Osinbajo, a 60-year-old law professor, served as acting president during Buhari's absences, succeeding in calming tensions in the oil-producing Delta region and pushing small steps to improve the business climate, including foreign currency reforms. Some business leaders say he could provide stability by running for president himself in Feb 2019.

Asked at the FT Africa Summit in London if he had considered running, Osinbajo said he hadn't thought about it, adding: "None of that is on the cards".

Osinbajo also said that militants in the oil-producing Niger Delta region no longer posed a significant threat to oil production.

He said Nigeria had lost as much as 1 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil production last year amid militant attacks on oil and gas infrastructure, which is concentrated in the southern Delta region. It was now pumping roughly 1.85 million bpd and climbing toward 2 million bpd. That is closer to its top production of around 2.2 million bpd.

Still, he added that Nigeria needed to diversify its oil-dependent economy and take advantage of the resource while it was still in high demand.

"We don't have all the time in the world with oil," he said. "We have to use oil while it makes sense to do so."[/b]
