Some people are just so clueless. An old proverb says u can only force the horse to the stream, u can't force him to drink water. Whether pleading with him or not, the decision for him to step down was his. He could have "Jammeh" the whole thing but h chose not to.

Wow!!! They are attacking this man from every angle. What happened to Dakuku Peterside when is played a role in the Mayhem caused in the Rivers State Governorship Re-run elections where one person was killed? Instead, he was given an appointment as the DG of NIMASA. Now the whole security apparatus are running amok because of an audio recording.

It is quite obvious that the FG is trying as much as possible to bring this man down. And a state of emergency is Rivers might mean more trouble within the state.

I truly agree with him. I was discussing with a Police officer, and when he told me how much he earns, I now understood why they engage in some illegality to make extra. Corruption is beyond recovering looted funds n media charades.

But he talk am last year n most came to past

Welcome to Nigeria, where we feed dogs at the expense of our workers.

What happened to the 70% capacity as earlier announced dis year?

I keep saying let the EFCC be audited and proceeds should be published my a completely neutral body. I'm very sure there'll be gory details about recovered funds n assets.

The man just had to his end of the year punch line lie. Continue baba, it's ur calling. There's indeed power in names.

It is a 50kg "BAG" of rice. Rice is a 50kg bag

**yawns** next Please!!!!

The marriage is just the sealing of another business deal.

Wise words for those carrying IPOB, ND, "Afonja", APC, PDP, Buhari, even Atiku for head on NL. Just wondering whether they'll even discuss politics there.

Good innovation. But how quick is their response??

I guess most people don't understand what this means. Their dismissal means they can now be prosecuted by a competent court of jurisdiction.

The hobbit should shut up already. Are we still in the period of excuses This people rode on th woes of the previous administration into power, they had a clear picture of what they were going to face. So coming every now n then to give excuse n still blame the previous administration for their underperfomance is a clear indication that they have nothing to offer Nigerians.

Gov.-elect Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, of Ondo State, said on Wednesday that the `enviable’ record of service of Gov. Olusegun Mimiko, would be difficult to surpass. Akeredolu said this when he led some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state on a courtesy visit to Mimiko in his office in Akure. He commended the Mimiko for devoting his time to the service of the people of the state, adding that his wealth of experience and advice would be needed for sustainable development. “We are here as indigenes of Ondo who are concerned about the progress and development of the state. “We all owe you debts of gratitude for your service to this state and to Nigeria. “Whether we like it or not, you have a track record that I’m not too sure many people can surpass because the early part of your life you have devoted to this state. “It is not something that is common and I hope I’ll have the opportunity of repeating it.” He further urged political leaders to emulate the kind of transition ongoing in Ondo State. Responding, Mimiko promised to continue to offer meaningful advice to the incoming governor at all times. He noted that ensuring peace was one of the greatest legacies of his administration and urged the governor-elect to sustain the prevailing peace for the socio-economic development of the state. Akeredolu was accompanied on the visit by some APC leaders including, Mr Ifedayo Abegunde, and Mr Victor Olabintan.

DSS raid loading... if it's wrong, it is wrong.

It's a welcome development. The power to appoint the attorney general just also be taken from the Fed govt. The fact remains that as long as the FG is directly funding all of them, they remain under their control

We heard this before biko

One question for baba at the top, have u started constructing one? Na 400 u wan do in 2 years...

Lmao, Ngige sef wan form relevance that he can deliver Anambra state to APC next year. It would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of needle than APC winning an Election in Anambra.

Why are there conflicting news about the outcome of the elections sef.

This woman keeps growing while some keep hating... *yawns*

Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division has granted an order of mandamus seeking the arrest and immediate sack of Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and his Science and Technology counterpart, Ogbonnaya Onu, over recent allegations levelled against them by two justices of the Supreme Court.

The applicant, Human Rights Foundation International, sought the order in its substantive suit where it prayed the court to compel the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to “perform their statutory obligations” by immediately arresting and prosecuting the two ministers.

The group also sought an order of mandamus compelling President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately sack both ministers “in the interest of the public and morality” based on allegations of attempts to influence court decisions as claimed by the two jurists.


A copy of the enrolled order made on December 1 specifically called for the disengagement of the ministers pending when they were cleared by a court of competent jurisdiction.
The plaintiff further asked for an order of mandamus under the reviewed Administrative Action/Inaction Procedure, to first seek and obtain the leave of court through an ex-parte application to properly commence the suit.

In the relief sought, the plaintiff raised the following questions: “Whether or not the allegation made by Justices Inyang Okoro and Sylvester N. Ngwuta in connection with the criminal-like invasion of their houses by the DSS on allegation of corruption, which the matter is already in the public domain, should be investigated and those arrested be prosecuted by the third and fourth defendants.

“Whether or not the allegation is a reasonable ground to warrant the 5th defendant, which is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and who claims that his administration is fighting corruption, to sack or compel Amaechi and Onu to resign from office as ministers pending when they are cleared of every allegation of corruption.”

Both justices had in two separate correspondences to former Chief Justice Mahmud Mohammed accused the ministers of attempting to influence court decisions in some election cases between 2015 and this year.

The matter has, however, been slated for mention on December 15.

Still surprised he is yet to sue for damages

The idiots have been bought over by the Spectranet and their likes. Spectranet increased their data price by over 70% also some ISP is withing the same price. But GSM service providers gave Nigerians affordable data prices with almost the same speed. So why not NCC mandate the ISPs to review their data prices to make high speed data affordable to Nigerians instead of trying to mandate GSM service providers to increase theirs. Competition should be encouraged.

These people are animals include that Hobbit in power. They feel their lives and the lives of their cows are more sacred than any other. It's unheard of that a leader pays invaders from another country for killing his own people. And these same people are the ones that stopped the payments of ex-militants who are crippling our economy at the moment.

What's the so called call for Atiku to be president in 2019? I see this man as a power hungry northerner who will just go there and be exactly like the bros there. Nevertheless, we don't want naija to break up, just to restructure the country end this system of govt that is marred with favouritism. There'll be no leader that'll come on there that one ethnic group won't scream Marginalisation.

I got this online. Funny but true.

Ikotun n Ikorodu

So much crap. No verifiable source. Loads of BS
