God1000: I know we all have our choices and preferences due to several factors and most times due to tribal affiliation.
We all need someone from our tribe that will bring development and provide Jobs by pulling strings when necessary which I consider nepotism though, but that's the sad story of Nigeria. As a public office holder in Nigeria, you are expected to do certain things for your people, or else they will hate and insult you for neglecting them.
But beyond all these, we need a leader/leaders that have the interest of everyone at heart, someone that cares about all and sundry, not ethnic bigots we currently have.
So many desperados are already warming up, we need to be circumspect this time otherwise this country will remain a mockery and laughingstock among nations of the world forever.
It's time to be clinical, dispassionate, objective and neutral in everything we do. So guys who do you think has the democratic credentials and expertise to lead the most populous black nation on earth come 2023? All we are asking for is good governance and democratic dividends, someone that will listen to the yearning and aspirations of the people.
BluntCrazeMan: Watch out the Second Paragraph of the statement as released by the Anambra State Ministry of Information..
Are they being diplomatic and sweet-talking with a “proscribed terrorist group”??
Of course they can now suspend the sit at home directives after all the election have been won and their aims achieved, we knew all this while that the sit at home order were politically motivated, let's see if they can be twice lucky in 2023
jaybenugo: The daughters of Charles Chukwuma Soludo, Adaora and Ekene, have sent their father congratulatory messages on his governorship election victory, IgbereTV reports.
Corporate2020: Dr. Iyorchia Ayu is a useless bastard, son of a thousand fathers. When the 3rd Republic was heating up while the idiot was Senate President, the Senate wanted to pass a resolution to declare the continued stay of the evil and now senile wheel chair bound IBB as illegal, Iyorchia Ayu refused blatantly. So, the useless man was forced to resign. Ahmed Ebute was then elected as new Senate President. Ahmed Ebute declared IBB a usurper and told IBB to leave. Ahmed Ebute was later arrested and jailed by IBB, but his name is forever written in Gold just as IBB's and Iyorhchia Ayu's names are written in Blood in the minds of Patriots.
Iyorchia Ayu will betray PDP and sell PDP's votes to APC. Tinubu can buy anything including Iyorchia Ayu's wife, mother and children and the traitor will gladly sell them.
Bloody full, your opinion here is irrelevant, the deal has already been struck, you can go to hell fire
okrote4real: BUSTED: Sponsor Of Pro-Buhari Protest In New York Identified As Businessman And All Progressives Congress Party Chieftain, Nasiru Danu I
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasiru Haladu Danu sponsored the pro-President Muhammadu Buhari protest which was recently held in New York, United States, SaharaReporters gathered.
Danu was said to have single-handedly ensured the payment of $50 per hour to over 50 men and women who came out for the rally.
"The 'One Nigeria' protest which is pro-Buhari was funded by Nasiru Danu. He funded all the Pro-Buhari hired crowd at the United Nations General Assembly in New York," a source told SaharaReporters.
SaharaReporters also got the copy of a mail written by one of the organisers of the protest titled, ‘I need 50 people men and women for tomorrow morning 50$ a hour (sic) (Midtown East)'.
It reads: “Good evening, I need 50 people men and women, preferably black, to come support and cheer for a black government official at the United Nations headquarters on midtown East Manhattan at exactly 11.30am. The whole gig will be around a hour (sic) and a half to 2 hours, you'll be compensated on the spot by me 50 dollars a hour. Text or call me asap if interested 7184130053 for more details, bring more people if you can please. See you all tomorrow.”
Checks by SaharaReporters showed that the phone number attached to the email belongs to one Ogundare Olukemi who is said to be based in New York, United States.
From further checks, the main sponsor, Danu had over time identified as a die-hard Buhari loyalist and has enjoyed the support of the Buhari administration.
His flagship company, Casiva, which is also into security, civil and mechanical construction, supply, and procurement, was listed among the 15 consortia/companies awarded the 2019/2020 contracts for the exchange of crude oil for imported petroleum products by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.
Information about Casiva Limited on its website reads: “Casiva Limited is an indigenous company offering services in Procurement, Project Management and Logistics, committed to delivering Solutions and Services for Construction, Oil & Gas Industries, Security equipment, and accessories; as a total solution provider for all your security requirements."
SaharaReporters learnt that in 2016, Danu’s company was awarded a contract for the provision of pipeline security and maintenance services along the Kaduna-Kano and Zaria-Gusau segments.
Danu, was in March 2021 accused of conniving with some top officials of the Nigeria Customs Service to defraud the Nigerian government of N51 billion, meant to improve Customs revenue.
Danu is an arrowhead in what is now known in some quarters as President Muhammadu Buhari’s oil mafia group.
A source said the fraud, which implicates the Comptroller General of the NCS, Col Hameed Ali (rtd), was named “Revenue Assurance Fraud" by some officials of the agency.
He however denied the allegations through a March 6, 2021 letter to SaharaReporters by his lawyer, Bose Olanipekun of Wole Olanipekun & Co.
In 2019, Danu made headlines when he was reportedly arrested at Heathrow Airport, United Kingdom, for an alleged passport scam and money laundering.
He was reportedly caught with a fake Malta Passport and in his possession, more than £200,000.00 in cash.
Danu, who hails from Jigawa State, is currently the traditional title-holder of ‘Dan Amanar Dutse’ in the state.
Video Shows Alleged Recruitment Of Pro-Buhari Protesters
In a video seen by SaharaReporters, some Nigerians in the diaspora agitating for self-determination accuses the Pro-Buhari protesters of collecting $50 per hour.
They are heard explaining to the Pro-Buhari protesters that killings are going on in Nigeria as the protesters are seen going into a room and coming out with T-shirts.
They also appear like hired foreigners.
A voice could be heard saying, “They hired them for $50 per hour and gave them clothes. As you can see, they are doing the transaction inside that place.
“The ‘One Nigeria group' is giving clothes to these people inside that place.
“You can see that most of these people are not Nigerians, they were hired."
Another voice added, “Nigeria is a terrorist country, the government of Nigeria is killing people. The Nigerian government is a wicked government. It is tyrannical.”
The Pro-Buhari protesters, were however unbothered as they go in and out of the ‘transaction’ room.
This newspaper recalls a report from September 21 stating that pro-government Nigerian protesters who countered groups agitating for self-determination in New York, United States were paid $50 per hour.
One of the people involved in “the deal” told SaharaReporters that the “One Nigeria” protesters were promised $50 for one hour and $150 for three hours to be at the venue of the protest and to show support for the Buhari regime despite the glaring failures.
“One of the organisers of the fake 'One Nigeria' protest who bribed some Nigerians with the money is Haruna Bello,” a top source revealed to SaharaReporters.
Also, a woman confirmed that she was contacted by the organisers of the “One Nigeria” protest but she declined.
The source said the organisers requested a copy of the identity card of those who would be joining the protest which caused an uproar and made some people back out of the protest.
She said, “I was invited for the pro-Buhari protest. The organisers promised to pay $50 for one hour and we'll be there for three hours. The person did not know we are Oduduwa adherents; we played along as if we didn't understand him. He explained that he was given a contract to do it but yesterday, it became an issue.
“Nigerians who initially agreed later had an issue with the organisers because the organisers of the pro-Buhari protest said those who would join the protest must tender their ID cards, a copy would be made and taken to the Nigerian House but those ones refused because an ID card in America is very significant.
“With that, the organisers had to quickly go and look for any other Nigerian they saw or those who had no legal papers yet and who are in need of the $150, that they would take them to the venue. It was a staged protest. It was $50 an hour for three hours making it $150.”
Two Nigerian groups with conflicting ideologies confronted each other in New York over the President's visit.
The groups had converged at the Nigerian House on 42nd Street, 2nd Avenue, airing opposing views about the issues of insecurity in Nigeria and its unity.
The protest began as President Muhammadu Buhari arrived in New York for his scheduled activities for the United Nations General Assembly.
The One Nigeria group members carried placards on which were written, “Stronger together”, “Unity in diversity”, “Genocide in Eastern Nigeria plain propaganda”,
“Nigerians want national unity, not secession”, “Nigerian Christians not targets of genocide or ethnic cleansing”.
They were, however, opposed by some anti-Buhari protesters who had been organising protests for days calling for a referendum to determine the fate of the country.
The protesters who are calling for self-determination alleged that the members of the One Nigeria Group were “fake” Nigerians hired to display the country's flags and take pictures.
Naijabad: You will be shocked at what will happen before December.
Our voices have been heard.
What will happen other than your IPOB masquerades moving from house to house forcing people not to go out there by destroying their livelihood, a futile venture
Fahdiga: GEJ will make the mistake of his life if dare leave PDP for the satanic APC
He is still in the saint party what have you done for him since he left the presidency other than frustrating him on every move he made, simple governor of his home state you can not allow him to produce, the upper echelon of the party is being kidnapped by thugs,
Nice....but first create or outsource for a loan shark verification app. The app will have an interactive section for details verification rather than you going manual with WhatsApp process....what if WhatsApp becomes none accessible in future!?
@SENIORWRITER
Confused man high on German weed, are you fighting a religious war or you are struggling for the emancipation of your people
valentineuwakwe: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has appointed the Deputy National Chairman (South), Yemi Akinwonmi, as its acting National Chairman.
Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP Spokesman confirmed the development to newsmen on Thursday.
Akinwonmi was affirmed as the National Chairman after the National Working Committee closed door meeting in Abuja on Thursday.
He confirmed the reschedule of the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) for Saturday.
Ologbondiyan said “Elder Yemi Akinwonmi was unanimously affirmed as Acting National Chairman.
“We will be holding our caucus and another NWC meeting tomorrow preparatory to holding our National Executive Council meeting at 12 ‘O’clock on Saturday.”
PDP crisis: I’m authentic National Chairman taking over from Secondus – Akinwonmi
The confirmation is coming after a Rivers State High Court ordered the national chairman, Uche Secondus, not to parade himself as the national chairman of the PDP.
This PDP self na wao, so what was all the brouhaha about the acting chairman of the APC Mala Buni being illegal and not fit to conduct Congresses, why taking Buni to court when you also intended replacing your elected chairman with an acting chairman
Anikulhapo: Appointing Ishaq Oloyede, a professor of ISLAMIC STUDIES as Registrar of JAMB has been his greatest undoing so far. Oloyede is completely clueless and looks lost in his new position.
How will you appoint a man who studied Islamic studies to head JAMB? JAMB registration process is now a mess, imagine a whole town having just one registration center, aspirants made to undergo hardships just to register for JAMB all because a man who studied Islamic studies was chosen to head JAMB which is reserved for people who studied Maths and Testing (which Dibu Ojerinde studied)
Foolish write up, what so special about JAMB that a professor or a university luminary of any caliber can not head, you people are always sentimental when ever you see the words Islamic, North, Buhari, stupid bigot
FarahAideed: Buhari had never achieved anything useful for anyone ..Even father of the groom he failed to appear
Gentle man don't comment on something you have no idea of, in Islamic marriage the bride and the groom's parents are usually represented, not necessarily by the real parents but any responsible close associate of the families or even a community leader of their respective communities, we call them wali and wakil, so there is nothing wrong in Atiku Abubakar representing Buhari
dasparrow: And where is Yusuf Buhari's mother Hajiya Aisha Buhari, our first lady? Why would she miss her son's wedding? Just asking.
Did you see any woman in the pictures abve, here up North wedding is majorly a male affairs, if you want to see her go to the reception ground or venue for the Budden kai
Aidejay: The wedding of Buhari's son has occupied the headlines, when a student of the university of jos was murdered and the while jos north is under intense security pressure with people evacuating in doves so as not to be calculated among casualties. But a wedding is priority now.
So because some stupid idiots ambushed innocent citizens and slaughtered them in cold blood Buhari's son should not get married, were you not the same people that praising the murderous militias last week that it was a revenge attack, hypocrites
Ballack1: With Buni as chairman,the congress will be nullify sooner or later
On what ground will it be nullified, you people are making so much noise about the legality or otherwise of the APC care taker committee, have you for once sat down to go through their constitution, if the constitution of their party gives room for such provision then there is nothing someone can do, not even the supreme Court
In onithsa/ Asaba_ second Niger bridge In Lagos_ Ibadan: modernized super railway Enugu international airport 9 mighty dam project completed Your children in primary schools are presently fed by government You must have knowingly or otherwise receive trader money or market money or covid 19 alert 39000 km of roads either completed or at various stages of completion across the country You now have steady electricity to run your business Your aged parents in the village get N5000 every month as stipend The long queue in our filling stations have suddenly disappear, no more panic buying of fuel Nigeria has regained her dignity in the eyes of the international community, no more Yahoo boys Etc etc etc etc
