PoliticsRe: Code Of Conduct: FG May Drop Some Charges Against Saraki by samofson: 1:24pm On Mar 17, 2016
So they didn't know the difference between credit card payments and bank deposits ?? Shame shame shame.

That's an embrassment to the investigative team, I have always said EFCC investigative team is crap. Their investigation is never thorough and that's why these thieves always get away with it.

PoliticsRe: Poll: Buhari’s Approval Rating Slips by samofson: 11:49am On Mar 11, 2016
Alwaystruth:
Nigerians do not have any rights whatsoever to complain about PMB's style of leadership. Yes, good people make good
leaders and bad people make bad leaders. In about 170 Million people in Nigeria, the Nigerian people choose a certificate less person
who hardly can define common economics to lead them and now they are wailing all over the places. I live abroad and my prayer is that $1=₦10,000.00. Imagine in a country that boasts for first classic brains like Pat Utomi...Olu Falae, Dangiwa Umar, Nnamani, Elumelu, etc ..chose old soldier and dictator to lead them to promise land in the 21st century. Before you comes for my head...Can you name anywhere in the world even in the so called 3rd world countries, where you have a leader like Buhari's level academically?. If there should be world quiz among head of states and presidents today, won't Nigerians be disgraced by Buhari?.. Even in the West African sub-region, all their presidents are first class brains..Can anyone compare PMB to Ghana president or even Ivory Coast Alhassan Outara?. We voted a dictator and we are receiving in full his dictatorial tendencies, why are we complaining?. I remember certain people from certain tribe in Nigeria said during the elections,'' Even if PMB presents Nepa bill or bread label as certificate'' they will vote for him, which they did. Now..he has given us shit to feed upon and you all shameless individuals are complaining. For me, PMB has not failed his voters,after all he is a soldier and he is killing people everywhere as expected of a solder and a typical Nigerian politician and strongmanism. Take away...tribalism..religion..sectionalism...is our turn to lead and chop mentality.... You will find out from 1999-2016 Nigerians have voted charlatans into political posts at all levels...The only little exception was Yar'dua...and PMB is the worst among them all.
Chop knuckle!!!!!
Bottom line we are the problem . Our king makers have failed us. We have people who have the intelligence to lead but don't have the political clout. The Nigerian political sphere is filled with rogues. Many of these intellectuals don't want to tarnish their reputation by publicly associating with these rogues.

Come 2017 we should start hand picking people who are performance driven to go and represent us in government and the Senate in 2019.
We need to vote the rogues and comedians out!!
PoliticsRe: Court grants Badeh N2bn bail by samofson: 7:28pm On Mar 10, 2016
NobleAngell:
U must be joking.
No my dear the jokes on you. We still have to follow due judicial process so these thieves don't get acquitted on a technicality. He is presently not a threat to national security, himself or anyone so he has a right to bail.

lets see who will come up with a bond to cover the bail amount, that's were the story would get interesting.
PoliticsRe: Court grants Badeh N2bn bail by samofson: 6:02pm On Mar 10, 2016
NobleAngell:
This is absolute nonsense. Bail on what grounds? Being an orphan or having kidney stones? Quite frankly, I have lost respect for the judiciary and all its corruptible judges. I agree with Obj that the EFCC is just a toothless bulldog. They should save themselves the drama of having to arrest these thieves. They should just walk up to them and ask for their percentage of the loot and spare us the drama.
Its a bailable offence.

BusinessRe: Lagos Assembly Orders Relocation Of Mile 12 And Owode Markets by samofson: 2:22pm On Mar 08, 2016
How does relocating solve the problem?

Is there a market the size of mile 12 in the original plan for Ikorodu?

What about access, Utilities and security?

Have they considered that Ikorodu is currently experiencing a population explosion?

Moving the market with out addressing the real issue is like burying your head in the sand in the hope that the problem will go away.

The car is not more than 3 years old, that's an insult to Mercedes please tell us another story.

PoliticsRe: Saraki Buys New N330million Cars by samofson: 7:07pm On Feb 27, 2016
boluwatife66:
thats where you guys always get it wrong...i hate saraki more than you do, Dino melathief is our senator and i hate him like kilode, my problem with APC supporters is that they think everything starts and end with election. these men are all the same then someone will wake up and start say Nigerias problem is 16 yrs missrule of pdp as if Nigeria is 16yrs old....the only politician in Nigeria with our interest is Buhari...our problem is not party but individuals. else how do you explain that amaechi is now a saint while akpabio is not? stop this party and elections card....People like Dino needs to be stoned. i read how he ranaway from sahar a crew yesterday....this same man was riding bicycle during the occupy Nigeria crusade..now he is in NASS and he is showing us how stupid we are by thinking he is a saint because he is no longer a pdp man. as for igbos and their wahala they deserve everything they get
Apart from the bit about Ibo's U are 1 million percent correct.

We need to vote all of them out regardless of party affliations ...these people don't have Nigeria at heart at all
PoliticsRe: Saraki Buys New N330million Cars by samofson: 6:49pm On Feb 27, 2016
No senator should mention anything about buying naija again!!!!! What's the use of the photo up with innoson and all the fan fare about promoting naija made products when these very rogues go and purchase foreign made at the first chance they get.

The house of assembly is a joke!!!! Come 2019 we need to vote all of them out PDP and APC alike ...they are all there for themselves only.

And the fools keeps saying money no dey
PoliticsRe: Anambra Adopts New Technology For Long Lasting Roads by samofson: 12:24pm On Feb 27, 2016
KINGwax007:
stabilizers are not 'trials'... the result is all over the world. the only problem is that Nigerians are not privy to this secret chemical. most Nigerian roads are constructed without these additives. And that was why Julius Berger has been almost the leading road construction company for decades! We all say their road lasts longer: but the secret is the additives. the stabilizers!!!
These is nothing new about stabilizers. It's being used on FG roads for donkey years. Maybe it's new to state roads. I think the technology required for erosion zones is raised roads seating on piles.
HealthRe: FG Unveils Free Health Services To 100 Million Nigerians by samofson: 9:36pm On Feb 26, 2016
How will this be achieved? how will the government fund this?

How the FG pay for the drugs, doctors and equipment to be used by these PHC's?

Before we start to jump for joy lets ask how the FG intends to achieve this, saying you will or may doesn't mean anything these days.

If there is a Journalist that has this ministers ear please ask him how he intends to achieve this.

PoliticsRe: Where Is Tam David-West? Nigeria Needs Him Now To Defend Himself! (pics) by samofson: 1:20pm On Feb 21, 2016
banmee:
As far as I am concerned, he said nor did anything wrong. He gave Nigerians what they wanted to hear. All politicians all over the world do it. It is up to you to ASK how the government intends to make it happen. The onus is on you to do due diligence before voting.
Totally agree. We keep saying this one said this that one said that, did we ever ask how they planned to achieve whatever they said prior to elections?

Policitians know Nigerians very well we never ask the right questions then we start complaining after the fact

People say PMB only talks while he is abroad, well that's because our journalist don't have the kahunas to ask the right questions.
Did anyone really believe Tam David West when he said that huh Let's stop deceiving ourselves we the Nigerian citizens are too gullible abeg

I see this man losing his job soon cos he just told anyone who cares to listen that Buhari lied to Nigerians.
The guy already nows that he will lose his job that's why he is trying to save 'his'face. He is 100% correct. There is nothing zero based about hte 2016 budget proposal.

Anyone who understands budgeting will know that they got it totally wrong.

SETI666:
Let's us not decieve our selve,those are not made in nigeria cars.the cars were and assembled in nigeria and then labeled innosun.did innosun made the engine in nigeria?
No commerical car company manufactres all the parts of thier cars, the car parts are manufactured by specialist companies that make certain components of the vehicle e.g the company that makes the dashboard could be different from.the one that makes shock absorbers.
All the parts are then shipped to the assembly plant were all the parts are assembled by the car company.

Hope this helps
PoliticsRe: Innoson Delivers Official Car To Ben-bruce (photos) by samofson: 8:01pm On Feb 15, 2016
Even if it's propaganda or for show, this is the type of politics our leaders should be playing.Ben Bruce saw a low hanging fruit and plucked it.

This would have been an easy win for any political party to score cheap political points. Kudos to Mr Bruce for having the foresight to come up with the promotion of made in Nigeria.

People castigating him should come up with their own ideas instead of just giving a horse a bad name in order to kill it.

I believe the change should come from the top. All official cars, buses, trucks etc owned and leased by the FG should be naija made going forward.

Don't know why our leaders cant see this as an easy way to boost industry and improve on the current state of our economy.

PoliticsRe: Tope Aluko Escape DSS Arrest As Channels TV Staff Helps Him by samofson: 6:25pm On Feb 01, 2016
Even if it turns out to be true , the guy is not a credible witness . Lawyers will eat him for breakfast. He lied under oath so whatever he says about the matter now worthless.

The guy is very lousy, he could have leaked this information directly to the DSS if he really wanted to come clean instead of going to Channels.

I want to believe DSS already have this information , what he is saying is not new to them but proving it is were they are struggling .This lousy guy just made the case even more difficult to prove.
PoliticsRe: EFCC Arrests Abumere Joseph Osagie, FIRS Director For Tax Fraud by samofson: 2:09pm On Jan 30, 2016
So many arrests no conviction . EFCC lawyers need to step their game up and our Constitution is too lax on corruption. EFCC needs to invest in very intelligent lawyers or esle na only arrest arrest we go dey hear.

9 months gone and not one conviction. No high profile case that has actually progressed to trail.Na so so bail hearing bail hearing.

Our judicial system needs a kick in the back side ...too damn slow and the floored constitution which was written to confuse rather than clarify has not helped matters either.

anonimi:
You clearly do not understand the game of DECEPTION that has been used to hold power over our entire country.
Go and confirm that the Secretary or so position in ACF is always held by a Christian minority in the north. Then do the math.
No need for any calculation here. Is Ameachi from the north? Because a position is allocated to a Christian minority FROM THE NORTH that means they would accept a southern Christian as one of their own....hmmm I am getting youhuhhuh

Even if it's a game of deception as you put it, these Arewa guys never ever cross that line and there is no neeed to do so at this point because they are the ones in power.

I stand by what I said about constructive criticism.
PoliticsRe: You're Now One Of Us - Arewa Thanks Amaechi For Cancelling Proposed Maritime Uni by samofson: 11:49am On Jan 26, 2016

No matter how much you kiss their ass3s, they will never consider a southener as one of them. They would never even come our publicly to say that.

OP. Please practice constructive criticism and not bad propaganda.

EducationRe: Ongoing Project At Nigeria Maritime University, okerenkoko warri southwest (Pics by samofson: 6:08pm On Jan 22, 2016
realborn:
It is not about how a maritime school should look. It is about having buildings befitting a University environment in tandem with the amount disbursed for such purpose. If we cannot replicate the feat of yesteryears seen in old generation Federal Institutions, we should at least have a scaled version of such schools.

The design and quality of construction look very shabby and poor. I am sad, because more could have been achieved with the much they must have claimed to have spent.

It is high time we clamored for an end to mediocrity in Nigeria. I am a member of the Construction Industry and it feels really sad.
At this point the design is immaterial as construction has already commenced . Yes there may have been a better design and syenergy between buildings but we have what we have.

I think instead of focusing on design we should focus on the completion of the project so it can be usedto train the people and help to create revenue for the people who live in the area.

From what I have seen this project is in the construction stage, stopping it now would amount to a great waste in resources and short sightness on the part of the present government .

As Universitis are not only a place for education but they also provide revenue for other people that live in the area. It's an easy win for the present government. .I hope they can see it that way instead of clouding their judgement with personal vendettas.
PoliticsRe: I Don't Have Any House In Dubai- Fayose by samofson: 11:23pm On Jan 21, 2016
Am I missing something? Or is it only PDP members that were allowed to own properties in UAE?

The anti graft war shouldn't be one sided. That said it's not a crime to own property abroad as far as u didn't use illicit funds to purchase it.

How are they going to prove tht these properties were bought using illicit funds?

I think we are fighting the wrong battle, lets focus on our economy. We need a state of emergency on the economy. ..people are crying, the policies are crippling business by the hour. Please PMB should refocus or else we will become like Zimbabwe in the next 2 years.

U learn everyday in this naija .stamp duties are normally for immovable properties,credit card transactions (ireland) securities,bonds etc.

I have never heard were your day to day bank transactions are charged a stamp duty yax . What is Nipost even providing that they have to charge this tax ?

Or are we now in 1939? If they have called it galaxy back bone or IT services Tax it would have been more believable but stamp duty tax in 2016!!!!! Give me a break.

What exactly do they want PMB to sayhuh? He has said he feels their pain and he is working to find the girls, do they expect to release classified Intel on the workings of military intelligence?

PMB has never been an emotional man, he faked emotion during the campaign. The guy can't keep faking it. BBOG are doing a great job in bringing awareness to the plight of the parents but they need to understand that showing emotion or saying eyahh doooe will not bring the girls back.

Whether the reception you get is cold or not , the goal should be for whoever is in charge to bring this case to a conclusion.
The government has not forgotten, soldiers are dying everyday in the fight against boko haram, stop making it look like they don't care.
