As usual, one of them will claim he obtained a bank loan. He will tell his gullible party members that he has just 150 cows , sorry 150 tubbers of yam( ondo people are farmers not herdsmen). Then after wining, facts of his Asokoro mini estate will emerge. His children will suddenly graduate from the most expensive school in UK. His wife will wear 10million naira wristwatch, I repeat wristwatch, to his inauguration.

Ondo people are wise. Nobody will fall for your lies this time

Its a lie. where is the light? Brandishing figures yet no light to show for it. I have said it before, Buhari is a lazy, clueless man. Providing electricity is now rocket science. SMH

Good news for Ondo north people. I believe thousands are also preparing to decamp to PDP in Edo very soon.

APC plan don dey fail small small. POI defeating Obaseki before voting starts sef

AntiWailer:
Prove that Buhari stole our money to send them to school or stop disturbing yourself.

Anybody could have sponsored them to school. They could be on scholarship.

This does not justify anything.

Who sponsored them? Who granted them scholarship? Zombies!

klax:
So buhari has be rigging election since Or what do they mean by Buhari will not rig the election?

APC always speaking ironically.

''Buhari is now a democrat''. It turns out to be false.

''Buhari is not corrupt''.-Then he could not declare his asset properly.

Every of their statement is a lie, back to back.

Please try the rigging o. Anybody that advises you guys not to rig the election must be a fool

Even with your rigging, POI will still defeat Obaseki

NgeneUkwenu:
Some people Will cry on the election day....especially all the Ipob posters above.....

So many juveniles on nairaland nowadays. Small boy like u
Any way, Obaseki is wasting his time. Fraudseki should face his fraud case.
POI is the next governor of Edo state

LessNoise:
whoever wins should improve where his predecessor failed.....Politics is not a do or die affair......we need to go back to the basics

Please tell your folks in Edo to vote Ize-Iyamu the PDP candidate. Obaseki will use Edo state allocatin to import international prostitutes to Edo state.

You have lost already! The election is a formality.

esan1:
APC should just talk to buhari or else their name would soon bé sorry

He would soon be the first president to be impeached in Nigeria. Afterall, he was a COUP PLOTTER.

AntiWailer:
You crossed the constitution.

and keep promoting ur ignorance.

If you want to take side, use your brain.

That is serious.

Buhari has crossed the constitution already with his actions. They will impeach him!

Mynd44:
Actually, the Senate is over playing this. They invited the AGF but the AGF went. They forget that as ling as the AGF sent someone to represent him there, he has honored their summon as the person sent acts in his stead.

If this report is true, it will only divide the senate more and the lose more power and respect as people will see them as a bunch of unruly and unserious people.

What are you saying? If Buhari invite the AGF, will he send a representative?
Instead of Buhari to focus on bringing peace to Nigeria, he is busy creating conflict everywhere.

nickxtra:
I think this man should rather face the pulpit and work for God, where he will be guided by the Holy Bible, instead of his selfish ambition to rule Edo State by all means, where he will be guided by shrines, lies and immoralities associated with Nigerian politics.

Why didn't you tell Osinbanjo to face the pulpit and forget about VP. Is there any law baning Clerics from contesting? Abi Ize-Iyamu popularity don dey scare una?

POI all the way!

iflywithbuhari:
That is a big fat lie, coming out of the Atiku funded BOT PDP buffoons club. INEC is yet to announce or state to the public, what they intend to do about the PDP double gubernatorial crisis. The INEC spokesman, Oluwole Osaze was on Raypower 100.5FM today, and he said that they would wait for the clarification of this problem from the final court judgement. He made no mention of a supposed rejection of submission form. Stop spreading senseless lies, and wait for the courts to decide who truly will be picked as the authentic Edo PDP gubernatorial candidate.

Lie Mohammed is that you?

More heartaches for APC. zombies how far?

gwales:
We the people of North East don't care what if the president decides to make his appointment 101% northerners as long as that would make us to sleep well and not been attack by Boko Haram. We thank the president from saving us from the clutches of Boko Haram which Jonathan in his effort to exterminate the people of North East allow Boko Haram to fester so as disenfranchised them from voting. But God in his infinite wisdom empowered the people to defeat pdp and Boko Haram. And by 2019 apc and buhari doesn't need to campaign in those areas because pdp have been declared persona non grata.
Let the wailing continue

Olu Onagoruwa was Abacha's Attorney General. He supported Abacha's every move until Abacha killed his son.

Since May 29, 2015 when Buhari assumed power, there is this pattern exhibited by him with respect to his pro-Northern appointments. We may laugh over it but it should call for serious attention.

I wish to lay to bring to the public's attention list of key military appointments under Buhari as President, and how he has technically turned Nigeria Armed Forces into Northern Armed Forces. Find below list of key officeholders under this administration.

1. C-in-C of The Armed Forces... Muhammadu Buhari/North

2. National Security Adviser.... Gen Munguno(North)

3. Minister of Defence... Dan Ali(North)

4. Perm. Sec Min of Defence.... Alhaji Danjuma Sheni(North)

5. Chief of Defence Staff... Gen Abayomi Olonisakin (Southwest)

6. Chief of Army Staff.... Gen T. Buratai(North)

7. Chief of Air Staff.... Air Marshall Sadique Abubakar(North)

8. Chief of Naval Staff... Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe (South)

9. The Nigerian Military Secretary (Army)....Major Gen. Mohammed Garba(North)

10. Commander, Brigade of Guard.. Brig Gen Musa Yusuf(North)

11. Chief Defence Intelligence... Gen Saliu Usman(North)

12. Director Air Intelligence... AVM Shehu Adam(North)

13. Director Military Intelligence... Brig Gen AH Sa'ad(North)

14. Director Military Information... Brig Gen Rabe Abubakar(North)


NOTE:
1. Only two key positions are held by people from the South, held by Southwest(CDS) and Southsouth(CNS).

2. The Position of Chief-of-Defence Staff is more or less a ceremonial office, as the occupant commands no real commanding power. Non of the Service Chiefs report to him, they all report to the President Directly.

3. The only influential position given to the South is Chief of Naval Staff, However the Navy is the 'least influential' among the three services of the Armed Forces.

How does appointment benefit the common man that desire good governance. Its a shame this is coming from a youth that plans to lead this nation someday.

Appointments benefit the common man because he is indirectly represented. If Buratai is a shites he wouldn't have ordered the zaria GENOCIDE. If he were Igbo he wouldn't have slaughtered hundreds of igbo boys who were on peaceful demonstration.
Please, no matter how sweet Mrs Aisha's Halburton's rice is, It will end up in the toilet.

obiageIi:
I'll cry out only when I see projects skewed to favor some. Buhari was voted to fix Nigeria and he's got just 4yrs.

Zombies will neves cease to amaze me

You did not cry out when members of Buhari's inner circle were exposed for their fraudulent purchase of dubai properties, 10 million naira wristwatches amongst others.

You did not cry out as the economy is nose diving

You did not cry out as Shites, Igbo, Agatu amd others are executed.

Worst things have happened and you did not cry out. Will you even cry out at all? You are looking for projects when your people are being killed by govt backed forces. SMH

With so many tribes in Nigeria, every tribe and region ought to be represented at the centre to avoid distrust, tension and conflict- that was why Federal Character was established to prevent this problem.

Our President, the commander-In-Chief of the Association of Deaf Persons OF Nigeria( ADPN) will never listen. He is insensitive and wicked.
To date, he remains the only head of state with a deputy (Idiagbon) from the same religion. He wanted a muslim vice president in 2014but was forced to drop the idea.
Buhari will never change.

Don't say you ain't warned or informed.... I advise you to port straight-away to APGA!

The flag bearers are Gen. Dubaitai and Mrs Aisha Haliburton.

We say we no dey vote for APC in Edo state. Abi na by force?

You are warning us? APC's intimidation of voters will not work in Edo state. You saw what happened in Bayelsa ba?

Obaseki and Oshiomole will lose their polling booths to PDP

Blessedward:
send me ur number i will call u after d elections and ask u howfar.Oshiomole is not a pushover like Sylva...lets see how how a shattered family can defeat incumbency.
By hook or by crook,d candidate declared by INEC as d winner carries d day.d number of supporters or votes cast will b absolutely insignificant.
Expect d military to do their jobs well d way it happened in Anambra three years ago,Ekiti two years ago and Rivers just last year.Trust Oshiomole,d Nigerian army and d DSS.Atleast no party has d monopoly of rigging.
My good friend i have to remind u dat d results are already written and kept safe to be unleashed as at when due.d papers dat will b paraded on dat in d name of original result sheets wil b there just to formalize everything.
Bruv I have to remind u also dat ur suddenly denied HERO Ali Modu sheriff is playing his role perfectly well just d way d script was written in case of any litigation.
Finally bro APC has wisened up to understand da elections are NOT won in Nigeria.U just gat to b declared winners then d sore losers pay d courts courtesy visits.PDP did it s will APC.so advice ur bruv POI to reserv enough and spend less.
THIS IS EDO 2016...not Anambra 2013 Ekiti 2014 or even Rivers 2015.
D game began long time ago.PROUDLY AUCHI !!!

Ize-iyamu wining Edo state is not the beigining. Its a continuation of radical changes sweeping APC off.

PDP have been silently embarrasing APC. Ask MamaTaraba, Amaechi and lately Sylva. If you guys like, buy the Judiciary, deploy military and dss. The will of the masses will prevaill.

Thanks for reminding Nairalanders that APC is an evil party that rigs election. Keep on campaigning for PDP.
POI all the way!

I hope this your cry will not result to headache because PDP as at now have no candidate and it may be an exercise in futility for your Pastor Ize-Iyamu when court finally settled the dust and place PDP where it belongs. I think what you need to be so concern about now is how Makarfi will win the case at the Appeal Court than concern yourself about APC in Edo. If Sheriff came out victorious, your pastor campaign will be in futility. Continue praying for the game to favour Makarfi and stop having headache about APC.

When a court sacked Ikpeazu as Abia state governor, did APC lay claim to the seat?

Makarfi faction will win at the end. And should the worst happen, any PDP candidate will win your ugly creatures at poll. APC is dead in Edo state.

Lie Mohammed organised such drama during Bayelsa governorship election period and APC wept at the end of the day.

Election is won by serious campaigns with good vision and agenda just as Ize-Iyamu is doing not by acting drama.

Edo voters are not stupid. This is an insult to their inteligence and APC will not be forgiven.

Lost souls! APC needs to grow up. We have passed this propaganda stage. Your lies and theatrics won't save you this time.

If you like act your drama in Benin republic or cameroun, we will not fall for it. APC is dead and buried in Edo state.

Come september, we will vote Ize-Iyamu as the governor of Edo state.

God bless POI. We will sweep him out for you. As we made Oshiomole gov, so will we make Obaseki a loser by sept.
POI is the only choice. Vote PDP

Millions and Billions wasted yet no development in Edo state. Oshiomole and his godson are wasting their time. POI all the way!

Nobody go elect this failure.

Food Security: What Manner
of Country? In a Whatsapp group with some
friends who all qualify as middle-class
Nigerians, one person said he has had
to increase his ‘allocation’ for feeding
at home. A bag of rice now costs
N16,000. In December it cost N9,000. Another friend based in Port Harcourt
interjected that N16,000 is a good
price — it is apparently N24,000 out
there. A quick check through Jumia
bears this out —a 50kg bag of Royal
Stallion rice costs N22,500. If middle-class people are complaining
about food prices, it is frightening to
imagine what is going on with the
85% of Nigerians who survive on $2/
day or less. One must ask — what
manner of country allows this kind of thing to happen just like that? This
behaviour says a lot about Nigerians
and how their leaders in particular
behave. Here’s a chart of global rice prices in
the last 1 year. Rice prices have gone up since
December but only by 15%. And if you
say the problem is due to forex, that is
the point I am going to make. Is the Nigerian government powerless
to do anything about the steep
increase in the price of a staple that is
eaten by almost all Nigerians? The
price of rice is one of the few things
that is guaranteed to affect almost all Nigerians. Nigeria is going through
very difficult economic times, why
allow the price of rice to go out of
control if you are a government that
can do something about it? The anecdotal stories are not good.
Last week, The Guardian ran a story
about an increase in theft of cooked
food in Ilorin According to Alhaja Hamidalat
Olawale at Sango, “I was cooking
around 5.00p.m. in readiness for the
breaking of the fast for the day. It was
beans and I decided to use coal pot at
the open backyard. I had added all the food condiments and was waiting for
the broth to dry up. But to my greatest
surprise, I did not see the pot of the
beans again. “I was shocked discovering this. What
amazed me was that the thief did not
come for it before it was ready; he or
she came when the food was ready
and we were already salivating,
meaning the person must have been closely monitoring me.” Another victim, an undergraduate of
the University of Ilorin, Anita Bazuaye,
said it was her pot of soup that
disappeared beside her window.
“It was painful because as a student,
it was difficult for me to get money again for another soup. In fact, when I
managed to start cooking again, I did
not leave the place until I had securely
packed the pot inside my room.” Things are rough. People are losing
their jobs and at the same time are
being squeezed by rising food prices.
There’s no point rehashing the story of
the recent shocking tomato price rises
on account of the tuta absoluta pest. In March, Audu Ogbeh, the agriculture
minister, vowed that the government
was going to ‘stabilise’ rice prices in
April. The Federal Government said on
Saturday that it would stabilise the
price of rice from April to make it
affordable to everybody in the country. The Minister of Agriculture and Rural
Development, Audu Ogbeh, made this
known while declaring open the 2016
National wheat farmers field day in
Alkamawa village in Bunkure Local
Government of Kano State. Mr. Ogbeh said the stability of the
price of rice would be very viable due
to its demand and affordability to the
people from April. No such thing has happened and the
minister is simply unlooking his own
words now. How The Other Side Does It Serious countries go to varying lengths
to keep food prices stable. It is the
least a government can do in difficult
times. And it is useful for reasons of
self-preservation as well —a spike in
the price of staple foods can kick a government out of office. In 2013, freezing weather destroyed
30% of UK wheat harvests. For the
first time in a decade, the country was
forced to import wheat to prevent a
spike in prices. The cold weather has devastated
wheat crops across the country,
forcing Britain to import more of the
grain than it exports for the first time
in a decade. The ruined harvests, which have cost
farmers £500million, will force Britain,
traditionally a significant net exporter
of wheat, to boost imports by more
than a million tonnes. In 2014, excessive rains in France
destroyed wheat harvests. This meant
that France, the biggest wheat
producer and exporter in Europe, was
forced to import wheat France’s rain-hit wheat crop has
delivered the first shock of the
2014/15 season: the EU’s top grower
and exporter is buying Lithuanian and
British milling wheat to mix with its
unusually poor-grade crop to meet contracts signed before the harvest. French exports exceed those of Britain
and Lithuania on the world market,
but a wet summer has meant France is
set to produce more wheat for animal
feed and less higher grade bread-
making grain this year. The imports are the latest signal that
France might struggle to retain its
market share of milling wheat exports
this season because a large part of its
crop is failing to live up to its
traditional clients’ criteria. During the past 13 years for which
Reuters has records, France has only
once imported significant amounts of
Lithuanian wheat. This year in Brazil, a bad harvest
affected beans production. The
government’s response was to remove
the 10% import duty on beans FEW Brazilians get through a day
without eating beans. They gobble up
3.4m tonnes a year, a ladle a day for
each person. So when prices rise, as
they did by a fifth recently after bad
weather damaged the domestic harvest, they gripe. On June 24th the
government suspended its 10% tariff
on imports. Blairo Maggi, the
agriculture minister, hopes that
Chinese and Mexican farmers will fill
the leguminous gap. You can find various other examples
where countries faced a challenge
with food supply and responded to it.
In those 3 examples, if nothing had
been done, consumers would have felt
a big spike in prices. If you can keep prices stable, it is important that you
do so and not just leave things to get
out of hand. The Nigerian Response How has Nigeria responded to this?
Well, if you can call it a response, the
government has acted in its usual
callous manner and made things
worse. First, there was the stupid policy of
putting punitive tariffs on rice imports
in the name of spurring local
production. This only led to a quota
game. As I’ve written previously, a
report shows that only 1% of Nigerian farmland is irrigated, compared with
28% in Thailand. If you want to boost
local production, that’s the problem to
fix. Simply banning imports or raising
tariffs will only boost smuggling. But in the face of rising prices, the
government has not said anything
about reducing the pointless tariffs. It
is just looking while Nigerians take
the body blows of 100% price
increases. When the Central Bank banned 41
items from accessing official forex
sales last June, rice was the first item
on the list. The ban remains in place
which means that anyone who wants
to import rice has to source forex from the black market. Even the stupid rice
import quotas have been suspended
by the current government as it has
not issued any quotas since it came
into office last year. People are now
trying to import rice using expired quota papers. What about Customs? In March,
Customs again banned rice imports
through land borders. Then a couple of
weeks ago, the Ogun Area Command
Comptroller, one Waindu Multafu, had
this to say about rice smuggling Rice has become a staple food. It is
the most smuggled item because of
the financial benefits accruing to the
smugglers. “People smuggle rice to
avoid payment of Customs duty,’’
Multafu said. “There is no place in our warehouse to
put rice again. Though, we are making
efforts to dispose the ones we have in
the warehouse,’’ he told NAN. Multafu
said that the command was doing
what was right and expected of the officers and men of the command. The
controller said that the command
generated over N3 billion in the first
quarter of 2016, adding that the
amount exceeded what was collected
in the corresponding period of 2015. All he can see is smugglers. Rice is not
uranium that is used to make nuclear
weapons. It is food for people to eat.
Even as millions of poor people have to
deal with doubling of prices, all these
Customs guys care about is chasing smugglers. He knows it is a staple
food but to him that only means
financial benefits accrue to smugglers.
He even boasts that their warehouse
is full of rice and that they seize rice
from smugglers every day. They used to discourage eating
dream but with the way this
administration is going anywh
food abeg chop 9:50 PM - 4 Jul 2016 301 59 Shakabula @muna_nz Rice prices are going up. Government
keeps a ban on access to official forex
to import rice. It also keeps punitive
tariffs in place on imported rice.
Customs is seizing rice every day and
piling its warehouse with seized rice. Prices continue to go up and people
are feeling real suffering. This is not the behaviour of people
who are normal. It is the behaviour of
sick minds who either do not know
what they are doing or are too callous
to care, or both. In April, the President
‘ordered’ the release of grains from the ‘strategic grain reserves’ to
alleviate some of the price rises. In
reality, there is nothing in those
‘reserves’. They were built in locations
that were determined by political
considerations and then contracts were awarded to fill them up. You can
guess what happened after that. How did Nigeria get to the point
where people can be suffering and the
response from the government is to
intensify that suffering? What is so
special about rice that it has come to
this? It is food and people need to eat! In the name of an idiotic policy, no
amount of suffering can be too much.
At a time when rice prices have more
than doubled in a few months, what
manner of country are you when your
Customs is chasing people bringing in rice and filling its warehouses with
food that people need to eat? It is important for Nigerians to reflect
on this kind of behaviour that does not
care for the suffering of tens of
millions of people. How can a
government be so unresponsive? Is it
waiting for the problem to simply go away even though it can do something
about it? The definition of food security is not
that you produce all the food you need
yourself. It is having different supply
sources for your food. Weather can
easily wipe out the harvest in a
country — food security means that you are able to respond to this
problem by importing what you need
and ensuring that people do not have
to bear any painful price rises. Food is
so basic that it needs to be taken care
of to allow people focus on other things. The same thing happened with
tomatoes. Pest destroyed the harvest
and prices shot up astronomically. The
government was looking and making
noise. The only thing they contributed
was to inform us that the name of the pest was ‘tomato ebola’. The CBN did
not think to remove tomatoes from
the banned items list. The National
Assembly was indulging an outright
crazy man and giving voice to
conspiracy theories about tomato imports causing cancer. They also had
time to plan a trip to inspect tomato
factories in China. I ask again — is it normal for people
to behave in this way? Is it normal for
a government to watch its people
suffer from rising food prices and
intensify that suffering? How did we
get to this point where this kind of self-righteous wickedness has the full
backing of the state? I despair
