GEJ enjoying his life while some people are having sleepless night because of him.

Like it or not, GEJ has earned himself respect.

Oga GEJ carry go!

You mean the likes of Dasuki and Nnamdi?

I first noticed how intolerable are leaders are in the face of opposition when the Bayelsa Senator, Ben Murray Bruce blocked me on Twitter just for criticising one of his common-sense tweets. And this is a man that has constantly been criticising almost every policy/action of President Buhari and the APC.
Recently in the midst of the recent rancour between Senators Dino Melaye and Remi Tinubu, I also noticed that the Kogi-born senator has also blocked me mostly for my criticising him or his master, Sen.Bukola Saraki through my tweets.
Sen.Dino Melaye is a man that has not only criticised leaders but succeeded in even pulling some down, yet no man has killed/ harmed him.
Why are our leaders so intolerable to opposite opinions?
Must we all support them?
Must we all be their stooge or perpetual sycophants?
I noticed that when you praise them foolishly, they seem to love you and quickly retweet,but when you attack their views, they hurriedly block you. This is really unfortunate.

THE Leadership of the Accord Party in Edo
state has warned the governorship candidate
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo
state, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and the state
chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), Chief Dan Orbih to steer clear from the
affairs of the party, saying that Don Pedro
Obaseki who has been dealing with them has
since been expelled from the party.
Addressing journalists yesterday, the state
chairman of Accord Party, Dr Samson Isibor,
stated that, “whereas Don Pedro Obaseki was expelled as an impostor,impersonation and a political liability, Joseph Omoregbe was kicked out for alleged sabotage.
"The party therefore appealed to the people
of the state not to be deceived by the antics of
the duo who flirt from one party to another as
often as possible.
“We also want to warn Ize-Iyamu, Dan Orbih
and their PDP cohorts to steer clear from our
affairs. If they are looking for cheap
popularity they have missed their bearings.”

And why was saraki,dogara and lasun, not summoned when they went against the decision of the party at first?
Why was dino not summoned even in the presence of a petition from sen.tinubu.
APC is not enshrining enough discipline in the party as regards the attitudes of her members.
I hope this doesn't tear the party apart.
People ride to victory on the party's platform and later behave like independent candidates with total disregard for the decisions and principles of the party.
While its necessary that the party reconciles its members and unite the party, the only way Nigerians can be reconciled is a thorough investigation in the padding allegation and prosecution of those found wanting.
Meanwhile I think all the implicated principal officers on the grounds of morality should resign.

The Anglican ArchBishop of the Enugu Province,
Most Rev Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuma on Monday
urged the President Muhammadu Buhari led
government to desist from further plot to
remove the Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike
Ekweremadu.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, led
administration had continued to rue the
emergence of Ekweremadu.
Speaking to journalists on the sideline of the
town hall meeting organized by the Federal
Ministry of Information in Enugu, Chukwuma
also insisted that “Nigerias is negotiable
because people are wounded; people are being
sidelined and this is what is causing this spate
of bombings by Avengers and all these people
who are agitators.
“The more you make Nigerians to know that
they are part of the government and receive the
social amenities and care, then there will be no
need for us to talk about restructuring.
“Restructuring will surely be done because the
way things are going, it has to be restructured.
South-East is the only zone that has five states. You have to restructure because without restructuring there will be marginalization.”
“We need to know that Nigerians are Nigerians;
to keep Nigeria as one is a task that must be
done, but Nigerians must be carried along
without any part being neglected in
appointments, in infrastructure, and even when
you see how they appoint some South-East people into government, it does not translate to
infrastructural development. It does not.”
He added that “this town hall meeting is an
opening for the Minister to tell the President
that we are not happy; we need to be carried
along, we need to be recognized.
“But we appeal to our brothers, let us be patient
and see what will happen and this town hall
meeting should not just be a jamboree, it
should be studied for implementation and
action to take place as soon as possible.”
On Ekweremadu, he noted that “What we are
saying is that APC should not be afraid of
Ekweremadu; Ekweremadu is a very simple
developing senator and out of all the senators
in the South East, Ekweremadu is the most, I
must say, loved, hard-working senator that APC
can make use of to develop Nigeria.
“We want to also express that it is unfortunate
that the governor of Imo State has continued to
insult him and we say that this is not right, he
should be called to order by the APC because
Ekweremadu was not elected by the APC and
election in the senate was not done by
governors.
“So, if a senator is going to survive in
the senate, that senator must come to pay
homage to the leading senator in the South-East.
“The governor of Imo State should tread with
caution, if he is an Igbo man, otherwise he is a
betrayer. I want to call him to order that if he
continues this way, the Igbos will deny him.
“Ekweremadu should be left alone to do his
work, he has been elected constitutionally as
Deputy Senate President and nobody can
remove him there. If they do that, it means that
this government doesn’t want the Igbos, then
you are calling for its secession from Nigeria
because that is the high ranking position we
have and we are all behind him and he has been performing, and he should be left to perform.”

Some Peoples Democratic Party’s
youth operating under the aegis of
Youth Forum For Democracy in Osun
State have advised a chairmanship
aspirant of the party, Chief Raymond
Dokpesi, to return the fund allegedly
traced to him from the National
Security Adviser’s Office to the
Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission.
The PDP youths in a statement
issued by their Secretary Olajide
Adam and Public Relations Officer,
Mathew Alao, in Osogbo on Monday
said Dokpesi was not fit to lead the
party at this time.
The PDP in Osun State is divided into
factions as a result of the last
congress of the party in the state and
the group berated Dokpesi for
visiting Senator Iyiola Omisore and
neglecting the Soji Adagunodo led
faction of the party.
The PDP youths said the party did
not need a politician, who was
accused of stealing blind the nation’s
treasury to lead it if the leaders
wanted the people to believe in it.
The group said the alleged anti
peace comments made by Dokpesi
showed that he was not competent
for the position of the chairmanship
of the party.

AFTER 3 decades of elusive search for hy­ drocarbons in the Lake Chad Basin where the Federal Government spent about $340 million and additional N27 billion, in seismic expedition, Nigeria looks set to continue its crude oil exploration in the North East region.
Has Buhari Been the president of Nigeria for the past three decades?

What's the best way to monetise wordpress?

This is a youth abi?
If this is what we are going to see in this new party, then its a big fraud from the beginning and that's why it will make no impact.
I was expecting they will bring up someone in his early thirties and not this 'Obasanjo'.
I advice the party changes its name, its not late now.

“In 2008 and 2009 similar incident happened and Gbaramatu was affected. We elders and leaders intervened and we got amnesty,”
“Today we hear that federal government is planning, already talking or negotiating with militants and nobody has consulted us.
“That will not work. These children are our children and we cannot fold our hands when they are being attacked and pretend not to notice.
Chief Edwin Clark
Ijaw Leader
What if Northern Leaders should come out boldly like this to also support and defend Boko Haram Members and Herdsmen as their children, what will Nigerians say?

mazichika:
have you forgotten that there was court judgement that nullified sheriff's emergence?
Sheriff has no case.

But why are you guys so jittery of Iyamu?

Ize-Iyamu has no capacity to make oshiomhole jitter.
Lalasticlala enlarge this debate Jor
Pastor Ize-iyamu is shattered and scattered already

maestroferddi:
Instead of writing crappy pieces like this misguided article, why not channel your energies on how APC would stem the tide of an imminent defeat awaiting the party in Edo State.

In any case, why would PDP not having a candidate at the forthcoming election be your headache if you know your left from your right?

The other day you succeeded in getting an asinine speculation moved to the homepage...You want this trash projected as well?

Hahahahahahaha, and it pained you then abi?
Take heart, pray well this time again before u see this one as FP too
Thinking an Ize-Iyamu will win Edo is simply loading your wailing potentials after the polls
Get ready to blame or accuse Buhari, INEC, APC,oshiomhole etc after the official announcement of results.
For the now, boast on while we kindly watch unfolding events.
At first u guys claimed that Obaseki was moving around the world without campaigning at home.
Now that he was been campaigning all the nooks and crannies of Edo state,with massive crowd and lots of defectors, you are still giving yourself hope.
I hope your name wasn't on the membership register that a PDP decampee brought the oda day?

WATCHOVER:
Childish comment.
Osho is too small for that man to crush.
I don't think you understand Edo politics.
If you are observant you will discover that since Ize-Iyamu left the APC in Edo Oshomhole has been struggling.
Just of a recent scene in Ekewan, around Zabayor will tell you how APC have divided.

Let's keep our fingers crossed
If INEC doesn't strike out Ize-Iyamu's name from her list, the result of the poll will surely increase your wailings since u hv chosen self-ignorance over where the dire will obviously swing

Where money flows, love flows No money, no love, no happiness

AmericanQuarter:
Who told you Obiano is spending money in Edo? Don't you know that the governorship candidate sponsors all these?

Its amazing the way u deceive yourself
So u tink Osaro will pay for all the expenses of Obaino and his team?
Its like saying Obaseki paid for all the expenses including the security votes of all the APC governors that graced his campaign?

smellingmenses:
Op is it your name that PDP submitted to INEC?

INEC only claimed to have obeyed the court and its law.
Don't be surprised if INEC on Monday withdraws the name of Pastor Ize-Iyamu in line with this judgement

When Sen.Ali Modu Sheriff was brought forward by Governors Wike and Fayose among other PDP chieftains as the only man that can help the party win back their lost states, the presidency and reposition the party, I sincerely queried this risky act by the new PDP leaders.
But ofcourse my little voice and pen was overshadowed.
PDP leaders have chosen Sheriff because they believed he had the money, the connection and knows the secret of the APC and President Buhari, being an inlaw to president Buhari and an ally of the president way back in ANPP.
But sooner than we expected, the whole thing backfired mainly because of clashes of interests regarding the party's chairmanship and who flies the flag of the party.
These crises have affected the fortunes of the party generally,including its chances in this year's Edo and Ondo Governorship Elections.
With series of pending court cases fighting supremacy, both Makarfi and Sheriff went ahead producing separate Governorship candidates for one party.
For Sheriff- Mr. Matthew Iduoriyekwemwen
For Makarfi-Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu
After this, the Makarfi camp almost appeared to have won with INEC recognising her governorship candidate because she monitored her faction's Governorship primaries and relying on a court order from Portharcourt (the home state of Gov.Wike,one of PDP's new breed of leaders).
"The commission (INEC) said that it decided to reject , the list based on the fact that it did not monitor the primary that produced the faction’s governorship candidate, Mr. Matthew
Iduoriyekwemwen".
Late luck smiled on Sheriff when an Abuja court on thursday gave a judgement in his favour as the authentic chairman of the party and nullified all that took place at the botched convention of the party,including the emergence of the Makarfi-led caretaker committee.
“Parties have an uncompromising duty
to obey court order until it is set aside.
The Lagos Division made orders on May
12 and 20, forbidding the PDP from
removing the Sheriff-led Caretaker
Committee. That order is still subsisting.
“Having regard to the order of the court,
PDP had no lawful authority to hold the
convention that led to the emergence of
the Markafi-led Committee.
“The convention was unlawfully held and
the Caretaker Committee was unlawfully
and illegally appointed and could not
take any legal decision for the PDP in
view of the subsisting order of the Lagos
Division of this court.
“Consequently, any action taken by the
Markafi-led Committee, including the
purported mandate for legal
representation in this matter is hereby
declared illegal.
“If the Markafi-led Caretaker Committee,
as apostles of impunity, missed their
way to the Port Harcourt division of this
court, that court could not have
conveniently assumed jurisdiction to set
aside the earlier decision of the Lagos
Division.
“I hold that the Port Harcourt division of
this court cannot make an order to
neutralise the potency of the Lagos
Division of this court dated 12 and 20
May“
“Ali Modu Sheriff is the National
Chairman of the PDP. Any decision not
taken by the Sheriff-led Committee is not
binding on the PDP” (including the nomination of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu) ¤ bracketed words mine
Justice Okon Abang
Federal High Court Abuja
Recall that a high court had earlier ordered the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) to only recognise candidates endorsed by the Ali Modu Sheriff-led National
Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party for the governorship elections in Edo and
Ondo States.
However, the Makarfi-led faction countered it with another strange injunction from portharcourt.
With the recent superior judgement (“I hold that the Port Harcourt division of this court cannot make an order to neutralise the potency of the Lagos Division of this court dated 12 and 20
May“) given by Justice Abang, the Makarfi-led faction loses the chance of producing the party's gubernatorial flagbearer.
The Sheriff faction also lacks the statutory powers to produce the governorship candidate as INEC never monitored her governorship primaries and Sheriff never abode by the statutory 21 days notice of conducting the governorship primaries.
Technically, for now, I think PDP has no governorship flagbearer in Edo State for the Sept.10 governorship race.

"Obiano has done everything with nothing" - ‪#‎Crown‬ ‪#‎Prince‬ Of ‪#‎Benin‬ Kingdom, ‪#‎EDO‬ State.

Dream on
Its allowed
But we know that APGA is a branch of PDP
And they both will be defeated.
Go and check the profile of the Edo APGA candidate.
He was the immediate DG of PDP Governors Forum.
He will be betrayed by Edo voters same way He desperately betrayed the PDP
Most importantly, I think Obaino needs to settle down and prepare for the battle ahead of him next year.
APC and PDP have vowed to dislodge him.
Wasting money in Edo state will be regrettable when his battle begins

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved a
13-member Governing Council and 10-member
Board of Trustees for the cleanup of Ogoniland
in Rivers.
The Minister of Environment, Mrs Amina
Mohammed, announced this in a statement by
Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Dr Bukar
Hassan, in Abuja on Saturday.
The minister said the structures would ensure
inclusiveness, accountability, transparency and
sustainability of the exercise.
Mohammed acknowledged the concerns raised
by stakeholders on the perceived slow pace of
the clean up, saying “Nigerians have a right to
voice their concerns”, but called for patience.
“We have responsibility to deliver. The launch
was the first step in a 30-year journey. We
continue to make strides toward the
implementation.
“We ask for patience as we lay solid
foundations for the cleanup. The context is
complex and stakeholders are diverse. All must
be taken along”, Mohammed said.
According to her, Buhari remains steadfast in
his conviction to see Ogoniland and other parts
of the Niger Delta cleaned up.
She said the ministry was working with the
Ministries of Petroleum Resources, Niger Delta,
NDDC and key stakeholders in implementing
the UNEP report.
The minister said the exercise was a collective
responsibility and urged all the Niger Delta
communities, especially the Ogonis, to support
the remediation and restoration efforts of
government.
The UN report estimated that the cleanup of
Ogoniland could take up to 30 years with the
initial remediation taking five years and the
restoration another 25 years.
President Buhari inaugurated the clean up on
June 2 at Bodo in Gokana Local Government
Area of Rivers.

You should be happy that they aren't using private jet for the campaign

biafranqueen:
7.5 years have passed and this clown has not turned out any major project.
He is lucky it was only PDP flag they raise and not machete.

Its shameful how u could easily fall for such lies.
Please next time the campaign is on, please go to a public viewing centre to watch it live,so that you won't embarrass yourself with this height of ignorance.
This same op never saw when an entire PDP ward defected to the APC at the same rally with their entire member register

With the N9billion loan he collected barely two weeks ago, I can light up the whole Africa.

Name Aso Rock After Gen Aguiyi Ironsi, Ohanaeze Youths Urge Buhari


FIFTY years after the first military
coup d’état which tragically claimed the life of
the then Head of State, Late General Johnson
Thomas Aguiyi Ironsi, Ohanaeze Youth
Council, OYC, has called on the Federal
Government to immortalise the slain Head of
State.
Ohanaeze Youths argued that the late Ironsi staked his life for the unity of the country and
therefore deserved to be immortalized and given his proper place in the annals of Nigerian
history.
Ohanaeze Youth Council, in a press statement issued by its National President, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, expressed great regret that 50 years after his tragic death, the Federal
Government was yet to immortalise Ironsi
“who staked his life to unite Nigeria”.
OYC suggested that the Federal Government
should “name the nation’s seat of power, Aso
Rock after the late Head of State in
recognition of his invaluable sacrifices for the
unity of Nigeria.”
According to the statement, while the
masterminds of the heinous act “are still
moving around and parading themselves as
statesmen, the members of Aguiyi Ironsi's
family have continued to wallow in pains and
poverty.”
OYC therefore enjoined the Federal and as
well as the various State Governments to give
attention to the welfare of the family to
assuage their pains.
Meanwhile, the Aguiyi Ironsi family is
organizing a memorial service in Umuahia to
mark the 50 years anniversary of the tragic
death of their father.
According to the matriarch of the family and
wife of the late General, Lady Victoria Aguiyi
Ironsi, a church service will hold today at the
Mater Dei Catholic Cathedral, Umuahia, which
will be followed by a reception at the family
house.

These links (sources) are very much unreliable.
Anyway, take these pictures and gather the remains of the burnt car and head for the tribunal.
But surely u won't win the case.

I have posted lots of issues on this budget padding stuff involving Speaker Dogara.
He should sue me too.
Infact he should sue all of us commenting of this post now on nairaland

exclusive87:
Game of politics always a game,,,,
The best option for him is to GO Back to his Church and continue from where he Stop.... Cox Politics have just played him

I am sure the church may reject him too because he has been so compromised.
I am of the opinion that this can denounce his faith because of politics
is that then a real pastor?

Its nolonger news that the Federal High Court in Abuja has sacked Sen.Ahmed Makarki, confirmed Sen.Ali Modu Sheriff as the authentic chairman of the PDP, nullified all previous activities of the Makarfi caretaker committee including the resolutions at the Portharcourt Convention and as well cancelled the rescheduled PDP convention in portharcourt.
By the granting of these prayers by Justice Okong Abang, Pastor OSAGIE IZE-IYAMU is nolonger the party's candidate, but Sheriff's Matthew Iduoriyekwemwen.
Is anyone still doubting that PDP will definitely lose both the EDO AND ONDO Governorship Election as long as Sheriff is alive?
Meanwhile, i dedicate the bravery and sagacity of Sen.Ali Modu Sheriff to the ever swagalicios Oshio Baba

Barrister Prosper Esegbue, former
Chairmanship Aspirant of the
Peoples Democratic Party in
Ukwuani Local Government Area of
Delta State, has defected to the All
Progressives Congress (APC) with his
supporters numbering over 1000.
The former PDP chieftain, who
addressed his supporters during the
defection ceremony at Obiaruku,
maintained that he decided with his
followers to move to APC after
realising that PDP had nothing more
to offer Nigerians having destroyed
the country for 16 years.
The legal luminary explained that
since the inception of democracy in
Nigeria, it has been the same old
story from the PDP, whereas, they at
the leadership positions have failed
to address the plights of their
electorate, instead, they continue to
fill their pockets with stolen money
to the detriment of those they are
made to serve.
He lamented that even workers
salaries had not been paid for one
and a half years after, as other social
amenities needed by the good
people of Delta State were also not
forthcoming.
He revealed that a reception party
has been arranged for him and his
overwhelming supporters from
Ukwuani at the state capital by the
leadership of Delta State APC and at
the National level, predicting that
better days are ahead for all APC
controlled States as well as the
national level.
Barrister Esegbue called on all
Deltans particularly the people of
Ukwuani Local Government Area to
have faith in APC for total
transformation and change to the
people, appealed that they should
give the government of President
Muhammadu Buhari maximum
support, and have patience with his
government.
