PrinceOfLagos:Do you actually have a job or all you live for is just hating on a man you know next to nothing about? I wonder!! ![]() |
nairavsdollars:EFCC ![]() Is that how EFCC is used in your village?….to settle political scores? What a dumb suggestion!Some people are definitely not mature enough to live in a democratic country….they belong elsewhere…in the Jungle!! |
Lanrelagboi:Some people are working round the clock while others are waiting for Buhari to do concensus for them. They’re in for the shock of their lives! |
Abfinest007:Can you have a sitting President, the National Chairman as well as the incoming President in the same party ALL from the North in a country like Nigeria? I don’t know about you but many of us were never born slaves and do not intend to live as one under any circumstances! |
Puskas:Really? …..some people say Amaechi has never won any election, even in Rivers State let alone nationally. Looks like APC is about to place its fate in the hands of a rookie…..in a field where his conqueror Wike would also be playing ball. ![]() |
AbaLion:You wicked oo! I wonder if his family can still recognise him in that fake Fulani garb. Hehehehehe! ![]() |
Blankstare:No, I don’t think Kalu links Tinubu to his incarceration at all. He’s a good friend of Tinubu’s and the latter even visited him in the East after his release from prison…..but Kalu and Obasanjo do not see eye to eye at all. Who knows who is after his arse! |
cktheluckyman:He has really surpassed Tinubu or any other Southern politician in this….no wonder they locked him up for six months! ![]() |
mrvitalis:You really make me laugh!! ![]() |
mrvitalis:Where did APC win any “free and fair” elections in South East? Pls enlighten us o! ![]() |
Light78:Why Kalu? Is that not obvious? Kalu is the one bringing Lawan forward, singing his praises and saying 9 presidential aspirants will withdraw for Lawan. He also said he’s ready to be a sweeper at Aso Rock if Lawan becomes President. Does he not know that Lawan is also Hausa/Fulani like Buhari who has been on the seat for the past 7 years? So, it’s not a matter of hating on Igbos….you should get the facts right! Kalu is the one showing himself to be a bloody Hausa arse-licker! |
Salvador1:All that needs to happen now is for Tinubu to align with NNPP ….then APC will be completely buried in the North and in the South West…. that would be good payback for Buhari’s betrayal. |
PrinceMajestic:….and where does that leave YOU and your village people? Still nowhere in the scheme of things in Nigeria. Why don’t you guys concern yourselves more about that? ![]() |
osinbanjoisaliar:….and where does that leave YOU and your village people? Still nowhere in the scheme of things in Nigeria. Why don’t you guys concern yourselves more about that? ![]() |
IgOga:He’s not out canvassing because he knows he cannot get the ticket. Some of these so-called Presidential aspirants are just angling for VP or ministerial appointment….he’s of one of such IMO! |
CaptainAyub:I’d rather believe Oshiomole in this narrative!!! |
NobleAngell:Do you have instances to prove that Oshiomole is not righteous….or you just like to tarnish people’s names for no justifiable reason? Talking as if you’re bedmates with the guy. Cite thé cases you have against him or shut your gob man! |
PrinceOfLagos:Why are you not proud of your origin? An Igbo man claiming to be a Yoruba Prince of Lagos….how ridiculously mischievous!! |
PrinceOfLagos:….And so what? Who cares where they pitch their fickle and flimsy support? Did the Yoruba people support Obasanjo throughout his eight year presidency? I beg, leave matter joor!! ![]() |
Ttalk:How does he mean the insulting words? Would he have liked it if Seun had told the old man that he’s losing his brain? They should just stop inviting him to the Studio ….till he learns some manners and how to be courteous. Finito!! |
Amotekun777:Hate-filled prayers have a way of returning to Sender when they find no place to land. Beware you’re not inadvertently digging your own grave Sir! |
IgOga:Has Soyinka spoken about Deborah? What about Ayo Adebanjo, Oni of Ife, Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, etc, |
SARSCoV2:Nonsense! Can MC Oluomo even speak proper English? Give the people of Lagos State some sense pleeeeeease! ![]() |
SensualMan:Dreamer! Buhari was once reported to have said the North will never forget the putsch that killed their leading lights in 1966….you think anything has happened to change that mindset? Think again! In fact they’re playing Ludo with the entire South. Keep watching!! |
SmartPolician:If their action contravenes the Constitutional stipulations, someone can approach the Court and get them dragged out….same way elected Governors were dragged out when their elections were subsequently declared null and void. Nobody is above the law my friend! |
TheLawAsItIs:The article below may help some of us see the wisdom in the idea of “Resign to Run” for all elected officials. As previously noted, nothing stops any country devising ways to create a fairer and more equitable system of governance suited to her people….that includes Nigeria! Pros and cons of "resign to run" laws for elected officials 10.13.16 POSTED IN PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENT NOTE FROM ROBIN: This is another post from our Public Sector Industry Group. Welcome, Ray! Ray Poole During this election season, we thought it would be timely to bring up what are commonly referred to as “resign to run” laws. So-called "resign to run" laws require that before an elected official may run for a different (usually, higher) office, he or she must first resign from the current office. Presently, five states (Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, and Texas) and several cities (including Dallas, Philadelphia, and Phoenix) have such laws. Although it may seem odd to someone in the private sector to have to quit one's current job before seeking a promotion, in the public sector context there are a number of good reasons to have such rules. First, there is the fear that an elected official seeking another office might neglect the duties of the office currently being held. For example, in 2008, nine members of the U.S. House and Senate sought the Presidential nomination. They missed between 12 percent and 50 percent of their congressional votes while campaigning. Woman Indignant….flickrCC.DavidJohns "I have to quit before I can run for higher office? Why, that's un-American!" There is also the concern that elected officials seeking higher office may misuse governmental resources, including their staff, for campaign purposes, as well as the concern that they may give short shrift to their current constituents while being overly solicitous of the constituents they hope to represent. Finally, advocates of "resign to run" laws argue that elected officials may unfairly leverage their present position against other candidates, while retaining their current positions as a fallback. That said, not everyone favors "resign to run" laws. Opponents of the laws argue that they make elections less competitive because those whose ultimate goal is a higher office may no longer seek lower offices first as "stepping stones." This could also deprive the candidates of helpful governmental experience at lower levels. Perhaps even worse, constituents may lose all representation for months-long periods if their elected representatives have to resign before running for another office. Finally, opponents argue that "resign to run" laws discourage many qualified individuals from seeking higher office. Most of us will never run for public office, much less run for one while holding another. However, it is good to be mindful of these requirements. Although few officials have been prosecuted or removed from office for violating "resign to run" laws, political opponents seeking political advantage routinely hurl accusations that candidates have violated the laws. |
Kalashnikov49:What a wasted life…..sorry for you o! ![]() |
TheLawAsItIs:Lots of them my friend…..check out the following: Canada Colombia Salvador Guatemala Honduras Mexico Paraguay Armenia Israel Mongolia Philippines South Korea ……this list is not exhaustive. There are lots more. In any event, Nigeria should adopt any system of government that suits its own peculiar circumstances regardless of whether it’s done in other parts of the world or not! |
simplesearch:Just because the Constitution allows it doesn’t make it right. When people who still have some degree of inner sensitivity perceive “unfairness“ in any situation, they see it as a moral duty to speak out. This is how Constitutions get changed or amended to give a semblance of equity, fairness and justice in the running of governments in order to create a more balanced and just society. Why should Presidents and their VPs, Governors and their Deputies, etc, sit in office while contesting for another term with private individuals who do not have similar access to government perquisites at the same time? If enough people speak out against such unfairness (like Sowore is doing now) the Constitution can be changed to a single term of 5 or 6 years which will remove this kind of absurdity in governance! |
Buckeyemedia1:Go tell that to Sowore ( who is already screaming for the same thing) as well as other presidential aspirants who are having to fork out their own money to fund their personal aspiration. We are here talking of morality and fairness….it is somewhat different from ‘right’ or ‘constitutional provision’. Hwvr, dullards like you cannot know the difference because what should serve as conscience within you is already dead wood! |
Puskas:To be fair, Osinbajo should take it upon himself to resign even without being asked. Is it fair for him to be using State apparatus to feather his own nest? ….flying State-owned aircraft all over the place to promote his own personal ambition? Was that part of the bargain when he was being voted as VP? Shame no dey catch the Pastor at all? ![]() |
PrinceOfLagos:Your comments are ALWAYS sooo infantile. What’s the point comparing Jonathan and Tinubu? Are they age mates, class mates or soul mates? It’s only the God-forsaken country called NIGERIA that brought them together in the same space but each has his own path to follow in life and there is no reason whatsoever to compare them or to expect Heavens to rain EXACTLY the same blessings on both of them. Each to his own my friend. Stop being childish! |
