I've consciously restrained myself from making comments on this Senators Remi/Dino' saga because I always want to stand and protect the rights of women, but at this junction, we should call a spade a spade.

The Stance of my APC friends on this issue is very annoying and if there's anything I detest about APC, it's hypocrisy. If Nigeria doesn't kill hypocrisy, hypocrisy will kill Nigeria.

Senator Dino is a personality that's very popular for his intermittent display of the five minutes madness syndrome, right from his days as a member of the House of Rep. This was well celebrated by the APC and he was a Hero during the GEJ era!

Senator Remi Tinubu on the other hand was the First lady of Lagos State for eight years and she returned to the Senate for a second term, not forgetting her husband has been in the corridors of power from time immemorial. For a personality in her position, who has been a VIP for a long time, her unruly behaviour in the Senate is not only worrisome, uncalled for, but a disgrace to whatever she represent. Haba, is she the only woman senator in the Senate? From Obanikoro, to Saraki, to Ekwermadu and now Dino, in sane Clime's, people would have demanded for her resignation.

There's time for everything. If she desired to be the Senate President, she should wait for her time. Lagos belongs to the Tinubus', so if she's willing, she can return to the Senate every four years like Senator David Mark, until she becomes the SP. She should be cautioned, because to every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Everyone cannot be a gentleman like Saraki, Obanikoro and the rest. If she has an unruly tongue, somebody possess an unruly behaviour. Hers is the first case of a woman throwing all caution into the wind as a legislator in Nigeria. She should be a good Ambassador of her party, the womanhood and her husband who's a National leader of their party.

My grandmother once told me a story..... My grandfather was the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti.... The Late Anirare Aladesanmi. She said there was a particular day, a boy and his parents were brought to the Palace to be punished for insulting the king. On getting to the Ewi, a man who will never justify the wicked nor punished the innocent, asked that the boy should be given the opportunity to speak before he pronounces judgement on him and his family. The boy began by telling the gathering how the Prince (the Ewi' son, who were worshipped like gods those days) started by insulting and cursing his father, the boy reiterated that when he couldn't withstand the abuse on his father, he too cursed the father of the Prince. The Ewi asked his son if the boy lied and the Prince responded that he was the first to curse the boy's father. My grandfather told the gathering that a father is a father, king or not, that since his son was the first to curse another person' father, the boy too possess the right to curse the Prince' father, irrespective of who the father may be. He asked that the boy and his family be released while his son should be severely dealt with, for having the effrontery to insult the father of the boy. She said, thereafter, no Prince or Princess dared go out of the Palace to misbehave.

Morals: If the King had praised his son and punished the boy and his family, other Princes and Princesses would have followed suit. Till date, the Aladesanmis are well respected wherever they are mentioned or appear.

At a time in this country, Patience Jonathan was a personality the APC insulted and ridiculed everyday. GEJ never reacted to qny insult on him and his family. Someone even called her Shepopotamus and the APC celebrated him, what goes around comes around.

Imagine poking her hand in the face of a colleague, someone's husband and father! If we continue to celebrate this, it's a disgrace to womanhood. A woman of her calibre should be reserved, cool&calculated, comported, a role model and not confrontational, impatient, violent or provocative.

Senator Bola Tinubu should caution her, because a child that goes out insulting other people's parents (Yoruba's call them Omo atiro) will succeed in taking curses and insults back to his parents. Respect is reciprocal, so is insults and violence!

The APC on the other hand should save the country, this dramas and national embarrassments. Nigerians are hungry and not bored. Enough of the Nollywood, Africa Magic scenarios between the Executive and the Legislative. Instead of addressing the economic woes of the country, the ruling party is engaged in disgraceful power tussle, from inception till date.

It's glaring Nigerians made the greatest mistake of the century, the day they adopted this negative party, with negative change, offering negative solutions to the challenges of the country.

Senator Dino Melaye, get a medical expert on the treatment to your five minutes madness malady. It's becoming unbecoming.

Wetin be my own sef?
Eran Oba lo mu isu Oba je.
APC vs APC....... All na change!!!

#Word

we have not had light in 3 days...

biko keep ur announcement.

Tinubu doesn't control the senate. If he did...Sarahi won't be senate president and would have been impeached since.

He is influential cow he sponsored a lot of the political office holders now. He is corrupt however. Extremely.


His influence is however nothing compared to that wielded by Obasanjo tho.

That Salary range thing.,...does it mean she will be the one paying me?

Actually....SR seems to always report things favorable to Tinubu...

Could his influence in govt be the reason SR has access to a lot of classified information?

We will never know...


Dino was wrong to say those things...very wrong...

But Remi Tinbu also calling him a child and thug is also inexcusable...

Is the Ooni now an Executive?


Why is he signing such?


This is improper!

[size=14pt]No be only Tortoise.....





Na you legs carry you reach that room....in other words...you no know when you begin run...[/size]

The guy is freaking correct...

all those replies are stewpid and a failed attempt at patriotism...


to even think that the guy has Africa in mind is commendable...means he would rather spend to feed Africans than pay a lot for a footballer...

sadly our African brothers cant read thru to get the underlining rationale...

and 100 million pounds is 46, 537,832,942.90 Naira...

47 billion Naira spent on feeding alone can feed the whole country for more than 5 years actually...


and thats Nigeria...imagine rwanda and ethiopia....

So if indeed someone was raped, ur reaction is to say lol and find it funny? This guy should be examined mentally

which kain unveiling be dis?


na inside bush dem dey unveil now? and no club official even dey dia...shuuuu

this buhari govt sef!

CBN always turns to firstbank for these kind of clean up operations...

Abiru was until March, the ED, Corporate Banking, FirstBank and Ahmad is on the Board of FBN Holdings...parent company to Firstbank...

both firstbank appointees

mike has chopped it!!

Buhari has ruined the economy....

i pray the economy can recover from his 4 year tenure...


#unbelievable!

he ll play and develop under pep no doubt...i expect his goals ratio to improve under him...

Trone:
Is that Pastor Paul Adefarasin?

May God forgive you.

so what is the lesson from this story?

kenkenn:
Is that thing a mansion?

Is there any major Road or street in Lagos, Abuja and PortHarcourt that you won't see more than 18 exotic buildings far better than that?

People will not allow Ben Murray Bruce manage his mud house.

Can Ben Murray Bruce not afford that cheap building on his own as a business man?

Mtcheeeeeew!

#


i tire oooo.... with him being a former DG of NTA...close to government and running a successful brand for decades...we should now be questioning his ability to purchase that ordinary looking house?

even wizkid's house is bigger than this!


Are some people scare of BMB?

i supported PMB voraciously at the last election...at the next election...this guy gets my vote if he is going for presidency...

#iagreewithcommonsensesenator

davodyguy:
Do you have any empirical proof that I work with Tinubu? If you have none, go look for job. Its too early for this abeg



Your evidence that Tinubu instigated a legal action for forgery is what? WTH is wrong with you people? So any criminal must be allowed to go free, provided he/she doesn't support Buhari? WTF?


Saraki desecrated that office since refused to step down from day one. He's rather fighting to stall trial, than to prove his innocence.

The proof i have is on your utterances...they are all fours with Tinubu apologists...

Tinubu didnt institute the forgery action...but he is the 'shadow director' behind the whole facade...am sure you can figure that out...if not...#itshelpless. And we all know he has sworn to retaliate saraki for standing against his VP bid.....


so saraki should just step down cos your paymasters dont want him there?


chai...3 years more...

davodyguy:
This show of shame by saraki has to end some day soon.
The has no principle and he's shameless.

David Cameron resigned based principles
Saraki is facing criminal charges on multiple fronts. If he has dignity, he would at least step down for investigation and trial.

Here he is, fighting dirty. In fact fighting in the mud. Shameless man

Is that what Tinubu and your paymasters say you should propagate?


Tinubu and PMB have lost the way and thats why Nigeria isnt moving forward. rather than focus on how to improve the economy and face the Avengers...they are on a sworn mission to remove saraki using all aparatus of the state shamelessly.


and the way Adesina is writing...disrespecting the office of the senate president with almost vulgar language is a shame to this country...

4 years is not so long...in fact...its just less than 3 years...continue...

angels09:
launch impeachment proceedings against PMB. Wield your legislative power for once!

i tire o...

when obj was president...he dared not try this with the senate...

koboko69:
Mr Lawyer...sued for what exactly?

for defamation.

Please kindly move it to front page.

oga..its not always u wear ur bank's official bank color. most banks insist you wear it at ceremonial events and Mondays...so forget your logic..

StOla:
I doubt that the Murray Bruce family can be accused of being too wasteful or elitist to the point of wrecking themselves financially.

Yes they will enjoy their wealth and not live like paupers, but i doubt any of them own a private jet or have kids schooling at Eton or any of the expensive universities. Everything known to the public about their lives seem to be achievable by any very comfortable middle class family in Nigeria, despite their own very wealthy status.

I however like that they have reacted to this episode in their lives as a business oriented and sane individual would.

Business can always go bad when a lot is staked on an unstable investment that goes south, but also give huge returns when the score is right.

all business have up and downs...with Nigeria's economy, most business are going down...banks are making collosal provisions and even foreign ones are closing shop...emirates...british airways etc...its not cos the Bruce guys have not done well...they are recruiters of Labour...they should be supported not crucified...

All of you haven't seen the bigger picture yet.

at the time of the election...the MD of Zenith... is the current CBN Governor.

That should tell you why Zenith wont mind the guys in the picture be used as scapegoats...they want it to die immediately else Emiefule is indicted...

Why the NSE and CBN hasnt compelled Zenith to release a statement beats me...NSE diclosure guidelines say u must release a statement within 24 hours of such news hitting the media!

I understand CBN's angle....their boss is involved![/size]

bejeiodus:
The lawyer needs to be upbraided by his employer--Muiz Banire for casting aspersions on Ben. Ben handed his companies to AMCON without any fuss, so, why deride him for owing? A decent lawyer should not speak in that tone of voice. The overall tone of the report was subtly denigratory.

i agree with you. who gave that lawyer the right to say those things? he could be freaking sued!

besides...basic law tells you a person is different from a corporate personality...the person owing is silverbird not senator bruce...how dare that lawyer accuse him and his bros of 'living large'...

mind u i am a lawyer....a corporate lawyer... and this is enough for him and his boss to be sued...total unprofessionalism!


imagine him also hitting union bank for having a shaky capital base...


unbelievable!

so na the mumu wey make her reduce her bobby be that?
