The best part of the day has to be Udom receiving the President. I can’t imagine Rivers State Governor doing that. Udom deserves a lot of respect for what he did today.

Ugosample:
tomorrow they will blame the FG.

Who will want to invest in a state that is becoming increasingly useless by the day?

That generation is FINISHED and they don't know

I hear every boy there wants to "strap up"

They are simply following in the footsteps of their leaders. The Politicians there encourage these boys. When the only thing that comes out of a Governor’s mouth is violence,kill this, kill that, u shouldn’t expect much from the young lads.

Ugosample:
This is the story of a FINISHED $hithole.

Cultism and gangsterism is now celebrated and promoted

Everyone forming "rugged" especially in rivers state and Bayelsa.

Useless $hithole

Port Harcourt gradually descending to Warri where no businesses want to go to bcs of the volatility of the area. And the youths don’t understand that this has a ripple effect.

01mcfadden:
Then I ask, what then would be your gain?
What was his offense?

You are asking evil doers wat they derive from doing evil? Hmmmm that’s a toughee. Let me step aside and let those who pertrate evil respond

At this age and time, People still don't know the word is actually Louts and not Touts, and they employ these ones as Mods

You have succeeded in educating over 200 people for free. Kudos!!

chivic:
Was OK.But due to some fall out of the election and other judgement by the court on some of the cases it was necessary to fine tune it.Mind you even Tue Nigerian constitution is said to be OK but there is always need for amendment which is normal.

I don’t think most people are against the amendment. Peoples problem however, is the timing.

Buterflyle0:
so the Otuoke shepe brand ambassador deserves respect but Buhari doesn't?

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is a rètarded idiot with a brain filled with dry gin.

Come and beat me

I’m on your side here. Only that my arguments are devoid of insults. I can only say there’s no difference btw u and Nnamdi Kalu + his blind followers.

Buterflyle0:
If you think Buharu is as clueless as that Otuoke shepe brand ambassador then your zombiesm is on a whole new chart popping level.

If PDP are so sure they are popular then they should use the same bill they signed into law and used in 2015

My brother, buterflyle0 u can make your point without insulting an elder. GEJ still deserves some respect. You really don’t have to descend to the level of the person u are arguing with. Already the guy has spoken like a snowflake. He sounds like a pillock that has refused to listen to reason.

Kabeeru:
The issue was well explained BTW Buba Galadima of PDP and Festus Kenyamo of APC. It was observed that it was the right call by not signing the electoral. International convention had it that you cannot change the rules of the game less than 6months to the election

That aside. If we think reasonably, of which I know a lot of people here lack the capacity, amending the Electoral Act just few months to the elections the Act is supposed to guide doesn’t seem logical. What time does INEC have to take cognisance of the amendments. That aside. It’s bn 3yrs since INEC started preparations for the 2019 elections, and equally, it’s bn 3yrs since the 8th Assembly was inaugurated, so how come NASS just remembered that they need to amend the Act now.

deboysben:
Say no to election rigging

Buhari must sign the electoral bill if he wants a free and fair election

And u think the bill would guarantee free and fair election. Don’t be deceived bro

dumo1:
APC Senators, clogs in the wheels of progress

How so？ Do u even know the content of the bill

orisa37:
The NASS knows better.
And our Judiciary is always there to interprete. Results taken out of the Poling Stations before counting is ammenable to manipulations.

I disagree with your first line. Or maybe they know better to favour themselves and not the people they are representing.

MalcoImX:
In law, the difference between these two is enough to make you lose your case.

It all boils down to a matter of interpretation. The omission alone is very dangerous bcs if the literal interpretation is used, then it means the officer can announce results without counting. On the other hand, if the golden rule interpretation is applied, then what would be considered in interpreting that section is the intentions of the draftesman. What we will get at the end of the day is law suits upon law suits

NASS just needs to take time to draft this bill. It’s a very important bill that effects the very substance of our democracy. They had all the time to raise this bill, why do it 6 months to election. Now they are making it seem urgent, which, to say the least reeks of deceit.

TyrantInAsoRock:
Buhari realises his "12m votes already in the bag" is in danger he running away he think he's smart


Saraki and Co are part of the process in 2014 so they know


Buhari thinks he's god


He must sign this bill

He ’must sign the bill? Talking with so much authority. Since you have so much power u shd ask NASS why they initiated the bill just few months to the election where it is billed to take effect. These guys do not care about the electorates, just themselves.

Hizzy:
I mean Bazaar

; Care less about this thread but Bazaar ‘Banza’ is just hilarious

INVINCIBLECSP:
Karma Awaits U. Keep Quoting Me. U Will Soon Get It Raw. Stupid Buharist. Zombie

Sorry to disappoint u, I’m neither a Buharist nor a zombie. I’m just a reasonable Nigerian. U shd try bn one.

INVINCIBLECSP:
SHUT UP KID AND GO TO BED U DUMB HEAD. STUPID BOY, NO HOME TRAINING

You got what was coming to you for saying someone’s father is dead. How do you think the family members feel when they see such comments by pillocks like u.

Am I the only one never understanding what this man is mumbling?

Why is he always addressing pressing issues about Nigeria outside the country but keeps mute when in Nigeria?

I wonder why "journalists" in Nigeria always fail to ask pertinent questions.

/

Cs Nigerian journalists peddle FAKE NEWS ( In Trump’s voice). Most Nigerian journalists are incompetent, to say but the least. The international stage is better for TRANSMISSION.
And u said ‘pertinent questions’, trust me, they don’t know the questions to ask, or they are either asking one sided questions, and worst is, at the end of the day they misconstrue what’s bn said.

bluegrass07:
So he can't address it here in Nigeria? This man takes the Nigerian media for granted. . . .to you journalists, continue to suck up to them.

Nigga plss, does Nigeria have a media? Brown envelop collecting journalists that can not even do a good cover of a story

fayluv1:
Dis story is so fake, six figure for monthly upkeep, dis must be lie Mohammed

I’m still dazed trying to figure out which sort of home is being ran with six figures monthly. If u are not a political office holder whom by virtue of his office has to be entertaining visitors everyday and giving handouts, then this story is fabricated at best. Stay true.

OP, I commend u for this piece. Just to add and support - AK 47 still remains one of the best assault rifles out there. Very much effective with NATO runs. The fight against BHT cannot he won by the Army alone, the Airforce needs to be actively involved. Air support is one of the advantages they have against the BHT. If the Airforce had been making rounds, circling all the Army camps, that attack wouldn’t have occurred. The Nigerian Army on its own needs to have camps in more secured areas. At least create a defensive parameter. Nothing stops them from setting up a higher ground and putting a sniper there, and some watchers using binoculars to survey the area at all times . I’m sure they know all these things but do not want to employ them.

OP only u can make this decision cos nobody knows the kind of woman you are dating. My take on the issue- You shd understand that most Nigerian girls are engaged in this act u are condemning, perhaps for financial gratification and whatnot, but as soon as they get married they quit. Some however, still continue in the act. The temptations these women face everyday from these men is a lot, and the women who are easily enticed with material things fall head over heels for these men. Just recently, a Senator asked for my woman’s number and even offered her his card but given that she’s faithful to me and she’s not easily bought with luxury she turned his request down. We even jokingly talked about her playing his game to get money from him. Having said that, I think you shd have a talk with her. And again u know the person u are dating, if u think she’s materialistic and u cannot provide her with some sort of luxury, trust me, she’d go back to that lifestyle even after marriage. Shine your eye!

cyberguy72:
Military wud take over if APC continues with this charade called election.

You shd applaud yourself for that little notion. Hope u would have said the same if PDP had won.

Tunadexy:
Bro if Olamide's song isn't appreciated, it'll be like he sang rubbish

But it won’t stop him from singing. A lot of Nigerians don’t appreciate Efe Money’s song but my man is still doing his thing, doing what he has a passion for. Although it gives great joy when people appreciate your work, it pushes u to want to do more. You work is great whether Osibanjo likes it or not. He prolly thought him taking it would mean he would have to give u cash. But all the same, your hustle go pay.

Pls help me understand this, so your passion for art is based on people’s approval? Nice drawing by the way.

Nigerians like politicising everything. My worry though is the youths who are bashing the govt., for this act. I’d like to think that the operatives were merely doing their job. He flew in a private jet into the country, and security measures need to be taken to ensure he hasn’t come in with any contraband. He is Atiku, yes we know, but he’s not above ferrying contraband. Moreso, I’m sure his jet was inspected by the Emirates while he was there. Without any form of prejudice, Atiku is petty, always seeking for cheap sympathy. NIGERIAN YOUTHS BE WISE

Pekele007:
If this true, APC will suffer in Rivers then.


Cos Abe will team up with Wike to finish anything APC in Rivers.

Wrong, my guy. APC Rivers is already strong as it is without Abe

gare:
That's it, which Abe is goner, you are very on point, forget all this road side analyst that don't know anything coming to nairaland to make noise.

To be fair, you most certainly sound like a road side analyst to me.

MrWondah:
I don't think bashing a lady for knowing how to cook or not should be a priority here. I don't care if a lady knows how to cook or not, in fact I don't like ladies cooking for me, except they insist. I find it difficult not to find fault in another person's food, the reason I hardly eat out. I prefer taking a girl out to my place. I Cook for you, you enjoy yourself.
As long as a lady is willing to learn I don't care. But if she is not willing to learn, that's her biz not mine.
But the truth is some girls feel intimidated when a guy cooks better than them.

I usually don’t comment on sections like this but when I saw this one I felt I shd just give u my one penny advise. Congratulations by the way for knowing how to, something a lot of us can’t do. However, I must tell u, it’s bad if u start finding faults in people’s cooking esp., your gf/wife. It’s a thing of pride for an African woman to cook for her man, and for him to like the food. If u start finding faults, it dents the very substance of their pride. Forget all these people calling u husband material. You have to appreciate your woman’s food whether sweet or not. In your case, since u cook, u can teach them so they can cook to your standard.

Nigerians thinking America is Nigeria, SMH.There’s clear separation of powers in America. The Executive nor the Congress cannot influence the US Department of Justice, especially in a high profile case like this one. If they do what signal are they sending to the world. If truly Atiku has bn invited, he is definitely meeting with the DOJ first. His cohort, the congressman, has served out his own term, Atiku cannot walk free, unless charges are dropped, which is unlikely. Maybe a bargain, whatever that would be
