For me it was F style sha.

Mine was F, I remember trekking under the sun with frozen lolly/ice kongi in my hand.

What is your style of hanging back in school?

They are doing the obvious.

Obiagelli:
Maybe they actually don't have evidence to arrest him. This actually the essence of this thread.

So no evidence? Certificate, sickness, Jega want to rig, islamisation, northerners want our oil wells and so on,what is next?
Look we all know Tinubu is very corrupt and no one except the general is free from that sin called corruption, but should that stop us from demanding our right or vote any bad government out? For me I want change across board from APC states to PDP states so that they will know that people has the power not they the politicians.

Obiagelli:
I read a lot about Tinubu's "atrocities" and with the recent AIT documentary, i have come to wonder how did Tinubu get here?

Is it a case of greed?

Is it not knowing when to stop?

Is it mere propaganda?

Is it better business sense?

Below is an article written shortly after Tinubu left office.

We should have asked our presido why he has not get him arrested and tried for corruption instead of sponsored Ducumentary.

They can't defeat BH but they can rig election. SMH for Nigeria.

You are?

GboyegaD:
Waiting to read what his apologists has to say about this. GEJ is an extreme weakling.

Ohooooo! Opposition has paid him to paint our presido bad.

ROSSIKE:
Why not Arik? He should be flying on a NIGERIAN airline at first choice. As a presidential candidate, no less is expected of him.

. You said Arik
When you know Nigeria bussines and compromise issue when money is involved. The plan will just crash and Arik will buy 20more plane immediately.

What will I say?

Ummmh this PDP can just use anything for politics. So NLC delegates skewed toward north now.

Do you think she is the only one preaching hatred? Watch the campaign very well, you will know hatred is the bases of a particular party.

It is only a fool that will believe that APC is behind it.

Sometimes I wonder why the government takes us for a fool and spill some lies that even 10years old can't believe. Are we that foolish as a citezen or what is going on?

Ok

Honestly Nigerians needs to question the ruling party, why will they allow people to suffer only to start performing magic in six weeks b4 election.
If we are wise we should know the magic will stop after election and we will be back to square one.

I think PDP is done with election prosponement because they have been able to control the obvious massive defeat of Jonathan. Can we say they are still safe from the defeat? I don't think so but if election had taken place last month, Jonathan and PDP would have lost massively.

This is good.

Some manufacturers in the country have said that the increase in electricity tariffs will force them to shut down their operations in the near future if development is not urgently addressed.

Different producer groups of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria on Wednesday said if the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission failed to revert to the old Multi Year Tariff Order, the industrialists would have no option but to down tools.

Speaking at an enlarged stakeholders’ forum in Abuja on the revised MYTO 2.1, the manufacturers argued that the new order had led to an astronomical increase in electricity tariffs, a development they said was capable of crippling their operations because consumers would not be able to absorb the commensurate rise in products’ prices due in an already saturated market.

NERC had announced that following the conduct of a special review, it approved the revised MYTO 2.1, which came into effect on January 1, 2015.

“A major highlight of the MYTO 2.1 is a six-month freeze from January 1, 2015 on tariff increase for residential consumers. The increase in tariffs will only affect non-residential consumers; that is, commercial consumers of electricity,” the Chairman, NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, had said.

But the Coordinator, Steel Manufacturers Group of MAN, Mr. Felix Okojie, stated that all producers across the country were shocked by the quantum leap in the new electricity tariffs approved by NERC.

Asked what would be the reaction of the manufacturers if NERC failed to revert to the old order, Okojie said, “We will shut down our operations. Tell me what else you expect me to say. If they insist and we cannot pay the bills, then the only option open to us is to close down the factories. And then, more Nigerians will be thrown into the labour market and insecurity will increase.

“I agree with you that the action will be too extreme, but that is why we are asking NERC to rethink because the action they have taken now is completely anti-progress. It doesn’t help the Nigeria Industrial Revolutions Plan; it goes completely contrary to all these concepts.”

He argued that electricity tariffs in the country were among the highest in the world, stressing that most developed and developing nations were considerate of the rates given to consumers.

Okojie said, “China, India, USA, Russia, Angola and some other African countries that have stable electricity pay between N3, in comparative terms, to N21 per Kwh. But here in Nigeria, we don’t have constant electricity and power firms are demanding N28.28 per Kwh.

“We have more darkness than light and yet pay high tariffs, for what? Is it for darkness or for light?”

He explained that most manufacturers had made their long-term projections based on the MYTO order laid out for 2012 to 2017.

“The MYTO 2012 to 2017, which was meant to run for five years, formed the basis of our members’ long-term planning, which NERC’s sudden increase has now seriously interrupted. This is because we were not informed of the revocation of the MYTO order. We consider this sudden action unfair to our members.”

Okojie stated that residential customers were indirectly paying the new tariff despite claims by the commission that they would only begin to pay in July.

He said, “The truth is that all of us are operating the new order because we are either landlords or tenants. You will notice that where you were paying N1,200 before, your January bill will now be about N5,000.

“So, indirectly, they have started taking the money, which they promised that it will be in six months. Why are we fooling ourselves?”

The Executive Chairman, Sunchi Integrated Farms Limited, an Enugu-based firm that specialises in hatchery, feed mills and soya oil refining, Mr. Sunday Ezeobiora, said the new tariffs would ground the company’s operations if not reversed.

Ezeobiora said, “We wish to state that the current increase in tariff by 94.62 per cent for the C2 category as approved for the Enugu Electricity
Distribution Company by your commission is beyond our absorption capacity and will halt our operations and render our workers jobless.

“We cannot afford to pay our January 2015 electricity bills based on the new tariff and still remain in business. We, therefore, plead that the implementation of the new tariff order be halted pending wider consolations with agro-allied industries.”

Defending the revised MYTO 2.1, the NERC chairman stated that it was approved because it would help provide clarity as to how prudent costs would be recovered by efficient operators.

Amadi said, “The Electric Power Sector Reform Act, 2015 obligates NERC to ensure that every efficient operator recovers prudent costs of producing and supplying electricity. At the same time, we are also obligated to ensure that tariffs are fair, reasonable and affordable.

“Because the fundamental drivers of costs in this industry – inflation rate, foreign exchange, cost of gas and available quantity – could change quickly; there is a minor review of the tariff structure every six months to re-index the tariff to these changing fundamentals.”

He, however, admitted that the tariffs that businesses and industries were paying for electricity in the country was high and advocated for the production of embedded power by firms that had the capacity to do so.

Amadi added, “Truly, the cost that businesses and industries pay in Nigeria is high. But the highest portion of this cost comes from self-supply of electricity. If power from the grid is stable and adequate, we will see significant decrease in the cost of energy.

“How to increase energy supply to industrial and commercial consumers in Nigeria is the most important and urgent challenge we face.”

Following it bomber to bomber.

Right now, I think we need anti terror war equipments especially the one that is design for desert warfare.

worthytalk:
He should as well contest in Denmark. GEJ is busy canvassing for votes across the country especially SW like a serious student preparing for exams while Buhari is busy gallivanting the whole world like a fugitive. Tomorrow when GEJ is declared victorious APC will start shouting scientific rigging.

I don't think he needs to run up and down like gej anymore, it gej who needs such because he has to convince people his second term will not be like his first term. GMB is already accepted everywhere apart from se/ss, so it is gej that needs to keep begging and that is the main objective of the election postponement.

dhardline:
Buhari said he would not contest again after he lost the last election....Buhari is also a shameless deceive liar and looser.

At least Buhari was man enough to admit he said such thing and gave a good reason for his uturn, what about our honourable president who claimed all Nigerians are liars that he never said such a thing. I think he is just full of deceit, almost everything about this man is deciet.

No sir, you were playing politics with it, you knew perfectly that Nigerians are emotional and you allow it to affect them at the same time you were selling different stories to Nigerians( religious, opposition, Sanusi, some elements who does not wants you in power etc) you allowed it to gain cheap political point/symperthy. You only changed your story now that you realised Nigerians are not buying it any more.

Thought they said he is in the hospital.

We know their plans for Jega and election rigging things but God is above them and their election rigging plans will fail. God punish PDP and their enslavement mentality.

What is going on with PDP, it seems everybody is deceiving each other.

Ijaw Leader and a front line supporter of President Goodluck Jonathan, Chief Edwin Clark, has accused some national leaders of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party of being insincere in their attitude towards the second term ambition of the President.

He also accused them of following the President to his campaign rallies instead of going to their home states to also galvanise support for the President.

Clark stated this in Abuja on Saturday while playing host to the PDP Aspirants Forum, who paid him a courtesy visit.

The visit was aimed at expressing their ‎grievances over how the party treated them (PDP aspirants ) in the last primaries in various states.

Clark said he was particularly sad with the way the PDP governorship primaries were conducted in some states, especially in Adamawa State.

He said, “Everybody was ready to hold the governorship primary in Yola. People were waiting in Yola for the primary and the PDP brought the primary to Abuja overnight, hired people from Nyanya and others.

“Whereas, they held the congresses in Yola, they later resorted to hiring people to attend the primary here in Abuja.

“There is injustice in the party. Some of the national leaders don’t want the party to succeed and they are disloyal to the President.

“I have asked them to go to their states to campaign, but they refused. They are following the president everywhere. Some of them want the party to fail.”

He begged the aggrieved aspirants not to leave the ruling party for the opposition, the All Progressives Congress, saying the party had nothing to offer Nigerians other than to enthrone a Northern President.

Members of the group hinged their grievances on the ground that the party did not hold primary elections to nominate any of its candidate‎s, saying all its flag bearers were appointed by their godfathers.
