Ortom adopted Fayose's strategy and took it up ten notches.

Ortom has absolutely nothing to brag about when it comes to good governance. Dude has accummulated the most debt in Benue state, raising the state's debt profile by over 300 percent of what was accummulated by his predecessors combined since 1999.

His predecessors built roads, housing estates, teaching hospital, medical college, general hospitals across the state, etc. Suswam left the state with three months owed. When Ortom was campaigning in 2015, he wept in a Catholic church over the suffering of the people for the three months being owed. Today, the same man is owing between 3 to 9 months (tertiary institutions and medical staff alongside some MDAs, 9 months) to workers, while pensioners are owed 72 months!!

When he speaks, those who have no idea what he's doing to his state would be clapping for him, and this is the encouragement he gets to keep doing evil.

While denying the state all that, his private Oracle Business Empire has been growing in leaps and bounds. So much so he even built for himself a polytechnic in the heart of Makurdi township. Wherever he manages to put some asphalt on ground, you need no one to tell you he's purchased acres of lands around the area.

That is who Ortom is- a very strange character rooted in sheer wickedness. No state deserves such a man for a governor.

It's impossible to build anything in a state that is being terrorised by Fulani bandits or terrorists. The state cannot produce wealth because it farms have been overrun by Fulani cattle herders and bandits.

There is no doubt that Ortom is corrupt, but the fundamental problems in Nigeria are deeper than corruption, we are watching the complete colonisation of the country by outsiders that are being enabled by the sitting president.

Ortom has been one of the few Nigerian that has block government policies to control state resources such as the Water Resource bill

I watched Newsline on NTA yesterday. This man has four wives and 19 children. The family is poor and the kids beg on the streets.



1. There should be a law banning poor men from marrying more than 1 wife.

2. Another law that makes it a criminal offence for a poor man to have more than 2 kids.

There should be a law banning any poor man from marrying..... period. I only got married after I bought my house.

Yoruba will crawl back to regional politics where they have always belonged once Buhari leaves office. They clinged on Buhari to come to national politics ridding on "igbos are enemies of the north" propaganda. But everybody eye don open now

Regional politics is the first stage of regional Restructuring

Bashir El -Rufai is an idiot.

His statement claim that David lied on his application for asylum, hence in Bashir's own word David Hundeyin is a liar and not a homosexual.

David Hundeyin lied that he’s a homosexual so he can have asylum.

ajumma:
imagine homo David coming on twitter spewing trash. He has finally meet his match

So you believe that he is a Homo?

How will you feel, if I called you a homosexual without any evidence?

festacman:
This is pure lie. As his follower on Twitter, David Hundeyin is not particularly LGBTQ enthusiast in his tweets. Besides, he doesn't have rainbow flag on his bio.

The fact though is that ACTIVIST David Hundeyin is a rude and conceited gadfly but the INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST David Hundeyin is top-rated and his works are topnotch.

His only problem is not being able to build sacredness around his personality by relishing a tumble in the mud with even 'pigs'. Going much lower to confront a low, rubs off on his works and may eventually erode his relevance.

Would have been better for him to focus on investigative journalism with a withdrawn disposition that will mystify him and his works. Well, we all have our personalities and foibles.

David is great guy, nevertheless. Well, somebody he is until his investigative bomb explodes near you.

I agree David is a brilliant investigative Journalist, but he can be very uncouth in his communication and gets involved in unnecessary debates that divert from his subject matter.

On his alleged sexual preference, Nigerians are known to say anything to get out of "the Nigeria", that El-Rufai's father has created.

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is a Fulani elite, he does not speak for the North which includes Hausa, Kanuri, Christian and many smaller ethnic groups.

I am not an Igbo man and I don't believe Peter Obi can fix Nigeria, especially with Nigeria's hopeless constitution, but it is imperative that we all support Peter Obi's presidential ambition to send a message to the Fulani elite and their southern supporters that they are not born to rule.

All Peter Obi needs to do is win well in the South and Middlebelt to enforce and presidential run-off.

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was born on 21 October 1956 in Kwankwaso, a village located at Madobi, to a Sunni Muslim Fulani family. His father was the village head of Kwankwaso with the title of Sarkin Fulani, Dagacin Kwankwaso; he was promoted to the District Head of Madobi with the title of Majidadin Kano, Hakimin Madobi by the Kano Emirate Council of Emir Ado Bayero CFR, LLD, JP.[6]

If he likes, he can wear only elastic pant to the court. That is his problem. The ruling on hijab has been stamped and sealed. Are these lawyers not good enough to defeat the Muslims lawyers at the court?

These people shouting now are the cause of the case. Why were those ladies harassed with their hijabs? At least only few of them were using it then. Why can't they be ignored? But your hatred for Islam led you to this level.

It is very hard to defeat a supreme court appeal that had 3 Muslims and 2 Christian judges. Nigeria is walking into the realm of anarchy and destruction. Religions of all kinds must be kept outside government institutions including schools and establishments.

Before u talk rubbish Why don't u take a stroll and find out how well petrochemical have been functioning since it was privatised

How much is the Indorama generating?
How are you measuring its success?

You haven't answered why privatising the power plants has been a disaster
You haven't answered why privatising ALCON, AJAOKUTA, PULP companies have been a disgraceful disaster.

Corrupt governments cannot implement successful privatisation

zionmde:
No rather only naive Nigerians believe refinery cannot work

Mark it somewhere that refinery will work in less than 12 months after it has been privatised
Go and read the history of indorama petrochemical u will understand better

Just like the Privatise Electric Power Plant

Tinubu’s university certificate is no longer the bone of contention but perjury. Great. At least, we are making progress. We’ve all agreed now that he went to university and graduated. So, the issue of educational qualification for the office of the president is settled.

Now to your perjury claim, I want to believe you’re well aware that perjury is a criminal offense and as such, it is only a court of competent jurisdiction that can make such a pronouncement and not social media jurist and obituarist.

In case you have forgotten, a certain Dr. Dominic Adegbola sued Tinubu in 2013 for this same forgery and perjury you’re talking about and the court promptly dismissed the case. This is the link from 2013: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/06/alleged-certificate-forgery-court-dismisses-suit-against-tinubu/amp/
If you want to try your luck again, you are free to approach the court. You will lose just like those that tried before you.

What about his age , access to his high school certificate will provide details of his real age

opalu:
In this same Nigeria
Dr Alex Ekwueme a cerebral Doctor was Vice to a Primary School Teacher Shagari
Dr Goodluck Jonathan was Vice to secondary Teacher Yaradua
Prof Yemi is vice to Buhari you know it all.

So why will Kwankwaso be feeling too big to be Obi's VP? Is it by age or anything? Kwankwaso graduated from HND as an Engineer. Everyone knows that.

Yaradua was a Polytechnic lecturer with a master's degree.

The Fulani are born to rule, notice that all major government officials and politicians in the North are Fulani's. Buhari, Yaradua, Shagari and Kwankwaso are all Fulani's

What kind of stupid country is interested in Primary and Secondary school certificates especially if you already have a university degree.

If he is a trained lawyer with a degree from ABU then that should suffice. He should only provide his school certificate if it is required to confirm his date of birth due to the lack of a birth certificate.

1stGenAmerican:
I’m sure you’re right because the stories being produced by Nigerian bloggers are completely different from the stories from British media outlets that were given statements by the UK police.

I will stick with the UK media and ignore the Nigerian bloggers because the majority of them are unfortunately paid-up agents. Poverty has been weaponized in Nigeria.

Does the Nigerian law allow buying and selling of body organs?

Why are the majority of politicians and government officials in North Fulani?

Fulani makes up less than 4% of Nigeria's population, and the Hausa almost 28% but you rarely hear of a government official, politician or emir that is Hausa.
If the Fulani were White we will be calling out Racism or Apartheid, the reason why there is so much poverty across Nigeria is due to the suppression of the right of the majority population in Northern Nigeria.

Justice Tanko is a Fulani, born on 31 December 1953 at Doguwa - Giade, a local government area in Bauchi State, Northern Nigeria.

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was born on 21 October 1956 in Kwankwaso, a village located at Madobi, to a Sunni Muslim Fulani family. His father was the village head of Kwankwaso with the title of Sarkin Fulani, Dagacin Kwankwaso; he was promoted to the District Head of Madobi with the title of Majidadin Kano, Hakimin Madobi by the Kano Emirate Council of Emir Ado Bayero CFR, LLD, JP.[6]

helinues:
Well both Osinbajo and Obi would have been good but as the 2 major political parties have denied them their tickets, na to work on the reality.

Obi's only on the ballot to mark register, the main election is between Tinubu and Atiku

I think the smaller parties will have an impact. If you accept defeat then you will be defeated, there are other parties like NNNP, LP, SDP and APGA that are building the infrastructures to take votes away from APCPDP.

popez:
I keep telling people, Tinubu will be eased out of national politics after 2023 elections. Everybody, including Yorubas expected him to back Osinbajo who has a greater appeal across board, younger and educated. But greed blinded his reasoning. His few paid supporters are now finding it an extreme task marketing him to Nigerians.

What is Osinbajo's appeal, tradermoni, Buhari houseboy,

We need investors in our lucrative charcoal business and we also have hundreds of acre of farmland for mechanized maize and cassava farming with a view to maximize profit by expanding the current scope of the business venture.

Pls check my profile for contact details

The charcoal business is not good for the environment, you are cutting down Nigeria's remaining rainforest for today's gain. Please don't invest in a business that has caused deforestation and poverty.

Go into the coal business and import coal from Eastern Nigeria.

Federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke should be imprisoned for the large-scale Malabu oil deal fraud

The cable headline is misleading , PO never denied that he said that $20 million and is now worth $100m

All these you mentioned were not born into slavery, whatevet that means. They are indigenous peoples. However, the Pygmies of Congo are escaping into the forests for fear of extinction.

They were conquered and enslaved, and their descendants were either wiped out or enslaves. The Pygmies in Congo are being exploited and abused across central Africa.

MURIC is right on this matter.

It's on record that the first Law Firm in Nigeria were set-up by the trioka of FRA Williams, Remi Fani-Kayode and H.O Davies in Lagos.

Chief Babaremilekun Fani-Kayode was a great politician who moved the successful motion for the independence of Nigeria on the floor of the House of Representatives in 1959.

Earlier in 1956, Hon Tony Enahoro had moved the motion for Independence but the motion was never passed as discussions about the planned Independence were thwarted by members from Northern Nigeria who wanted the British Colonial Masters to continue to rule till when the North will be ready.

In 1958, Hon Ladoke Akintola also moved a motion for Independence but that motion was also killed.

Instead of praising Fani-Kayode for moving the motion for independence in 1959 let's analyse the compromises that he gave to the North, that have since left this country in a precarious state today.

If you really Know IGBO people you ought to understand that Political elite are not really appreciated , unless you have exceptional values that will make majority of them have a rethink.

You can never hold IGBOs down for years on end with useless Propaganda and malicious actions against them. As for Ploticians like..

Uzodinma
Ekweremadu
Orji Kalu
Governors of Enugu/Abia/IMO/Ebonyi (THEY ARE ALL RETARDS)..with their useless SENATORS/HOUSE OF REPS etc..they are inconsequential.

IGBOs are republican in nature and will Never Bow to useless miscreant druggie vagabons like the vastard below , that is adored by sub-miscreants with the brains the size of a walnut...spits!!

Ekweremadu has exceptional academic and professional qualifications but he is still a common thief.

The Igbo community usually emphasise academic excellence as a measure of a man, but forget that good character and honesty are the most important qualification of a man.

An African American has his niche cut out for him; no one can begrudge him that. So, it is with any other culture.

Every culture and society that have been born into a slavery hierarchy have struggled to impact politics and economic development from the Aborigines in Australia, Hutu/pygmies in central Africa, Hausa in Northern Nigeria and Native American in the Americas.

Not the same...

The Whites are the majority, they have dominated the political and economic landscape for all USA's existence, hence the introduction of the Affirmative Action Program to support disadvantaged minorities

Northern Nigerians especially Fulani elites and the Hausa are considered the joint largest ethnic group (subject to debate), they dominate the political and economic landscape and yet are disadvantaged.

It has got nothing to do with population size. Access, opportunity and power play the main roles. If you check, you'll see that the recent arrivals in the USA have more PhDs than the earlier arrivals, but the children of the 1970s generation are more into sports and entertainment. Just as you wrongly indicated, the Hausa may be more in population than the Fulani but the latter may have greater access to political power and education.

I also said that the Whites have dominated the political and economic landscape. Black Americans have been placed at a cultural and economic disadvantage, that is hard to escape.

He had the same goals with Tammy Abraham last season, don't know why Chelsea sold Tammy.

He played fewer games due to football injury

There was a time the SW had political leaders that believe in social development and moral value, the likes of Awolowo, Jakande, and Peter Enahoro(sic) went to prison for their political beliefs.

So the people are ignorant and sell their vote for a loaf of bread, ignorant people will do things because they don't know any better. This is the time to work the street and start an education program and grassroots engagement to educate the people that selling their vote is the reason why they are poor.

"I freed a thousand slaves, I could have freed a thousand more, if only they knew they were slaves".... Harriet Tubman

The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress in Saturday’s Ekiti State governorship election, Wole Oluyede, on Wednesday expressed regret for joining politics, following the turn of events in the poll.

He said, “Ekiti people have chosen the leader they want by collecting money to vote and they should not complain of lacking basic and social amenities in the future. The problem Ekiti has now is that the people are poor and that was why they could buy their conscience. That was what All Progressives Congress used in gaining the heart of many people.

“More worrisome is the fact that the people do not want a solution to the problem of poverty. That was why even when we came with an agenda to address the poverty confronting them, they still expected us to buy their votes before we could help them. The winner is not the best, but he is the one the people deserved.

It is called the Affirmative Action Program, and it is done all over the world. California 1976/1977, a white dude who had a higher score than a black dude was denied admission into medical school due to Affirmative Action. The Caucasian fought his case to the Supreme Court, and got admitted to the medical school.

Dear Christians, especially the Yoruba
Christians, what is the matter you have
with Muslims? Honestly, the way some
of you are going about religion calls for
serious concern. Some of you are
fanatically attached to your religion. Yet,
you pretend to be moderate and neutral.
Wallahi, if Yoruba Muslims should
behave the way some Yoruba Christians
are behaving, no Christian will ever
become governors in Oyo, Osun, Ogun
and Lagos States. Those states have
higher percentage of Muslims.
There was a time in Osun, which is a
predominantly Muslim state, had a
Christian as governor (Olagunsoye
Oyinlola) and a Christian as deputy
governor (Erelu Olusola Obada). Did
Muslims complain? No! We did not even
care about their religion. I remember
how happy I was the day Oyinlola won.
Are you telling us that we are fools?
After all, Awolowo (a Christian) ruled
Yorubaland while Akintola (another
Christian) was the Premier; no Muslim
raised any eyebrow. I don't want to speak
much on this issue. God bless Nigeria.

Religion has never been a problem within the Yoruba race, unfortunately since the introduction of political Sharia laws in Northern Nigeria religion especially Islam has been political.

Religious differences are now impacting the SW, especially with the introduction of Islamic values in secular schools in the SW, I can understand why this is happening due to the collapse of Nigeria's moral values but I am concerned with the politics of imposing Islamic values in Nigeria schools system.

You just have to look at the imposition of political Sharia law in Northern Nigeria and how that has regressed the standard of education and development in the North.

Akeredolu is beginning to annoy me.

1. One day after the attack he said the culprits are from Mali

2. One week after he countered the federal government's claim that the culprits were iswap, asking for evidence

3. Now he says it was terrorists

So why counter the government's earlier report? Is there even a difference between iswap and radical fighters from Mali?

You are lucky, you are not from Ondo state. Akeredolu salaries to state workers. The Yoruba elites have neglected the SW for their corrupt and selfish interest.

Terrorist across the SW is not something, problem is that they refuse to confront Buhari, Tinubu and Osibanjo
