I take God beg una’ 2face pleaded. D’banj in response said ‘Sure! It’s going to happen’. Although Don Jazzy didn’t respond to the plea.

| Politics › The Rise And Fall Of Saraki-reply To Barcanista. by sultan457(op): 9:44pm On Sep 19, 2015 |
Saraki left
the PDP for personal reasons......not because he
wanted CHANGE. This is evident in his behaviour
since APC became victorious. APC trusted
Saraki, jilted Belgore just to please Saraki. APC
asked both Belgore and Lai Mohammed to
relinquish the state leadership to Saraki. While
Lai choicelessly agreed, Belgore left APC
because 'I can never be in the same party with
Saraki talkless of him leading me'.....Raji Fashola
spoke and appealed to his bosom friend Belgore
not to leave APC but the latter sought Fashola's
understanding on the fact that Saraki is not a
human being and that APC will regret having
Saraki in its fold. APC openly celebrated Saraki.
Saraki nominated every single political
appointments in Kwara......he took over the
structure of the APC in Kwara. APC narrowly
won Kwara with just over 100k votes above the
PDP. Race for Senate Leadership began. This
slot would have naturally gone to the SE had
Ngige or other experienced APC senatorial
candidate won but APC NASS conflict's
foundation was laid by the rejection of the party
in the SE! Therefore, 3 major lucky contenders
were jostling for the Senate President
position......Lawan from NE, Saraki and Akume
from NS all wanted to fill the vacuum created by
the SE. Buhari and APC preferred Lawan from
the NE instead of Tinubu's friend Akume and
Atiku's choice Saraki. Tinubu being a smart man
quickly asked his friend Akume to step down for
the Party's and President's choice Lawan.
Akume, another reasonable politician agreed!
Tinubu is not just a driver, he also know when to
accelerate and when to march the brake!!!!!!!
Atiku and Saraki kept on accelerating even when
it was obvious that the duo have approached the
zebra crossing!!!! A warrior that knows how to
fight that does not know how to run when
necessary will eventually perish in the battlefield!
Saraki and his pushers became arrogant and
resolute to disgrace the APC and the President
.... All appeals by leaders of their party did not
hold water. Saraki said he wanted due
process......therefore, the party organized a
primary election to please him......Saraki lost the
election and instead of staying within his team
and agree with the APC Senators decision, he
betrayed the APC and teamed up with the PDP
to steal the hard earned victory of the APC
through the back door. He wanted SP even if
heavens will fall. He eventually stole it while 95%
of his colleagues were away, he joined the PDP
to ridicule CHANGE. He did not stop there, he
made the PDP DSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha! What
wickedness  What a deadly traitor?? The
party was battling with the humble pie and
sought further reconciliation by asking Saraki to
give other leadership positions left to its
preferred choices, at least to calm nerves and
save the party from national disgrace...but
Saraki once again injured the party and
announced his own preferred choices behaving
like 'IGE ADUBI' who cares less whether or not
his mother or father died on the day of his birth!
The intention of Saraki became very clear to
APC......he wants to APC to fail, disgraced and
destroyed......he has gone back to his former
husband...PDP. But the concern of Buhari is
different from the APC's.......Buhari wants to
eradicate corruption but how can Kwara
Corruption King lead from the senate Number
one priority of Buhari administration has been
ambushed by thieves from the NASS.....Buhari, a
soldier and a war tested veteran will not give up
the fight to eradicate corruption in Nigeria. His
preference for Lawan has nothing to do with
politics but with policies! Saraki obviously has
constituted himself to be a clog in the wheels of
CHANGE. He has become the arrow head of
Business as Usual in a government of CHANGE!
Therefore his book of remembrance was opened.
His judgement became expedient.....Since he
wanted to be one of leaders in the government
of Change, he must be thoroughly searched.
Buhari the first leader has been searched.......
Osinbajo the second leader has been
searched.....so why will Saraki the 'third' leader
avoid search You cannot eat your cake and
have it!!!!! For those who said why saraki? Keep
your mouth shut. Saraki wants to be number
three and therefore, his cupboards must be
opened, we must know his condition and
fitness......if he passed this current test, then
CHANGE will admit him but if he fails......CHAN
GE will purge him........ This is not a joke!
CHANGE has come to Nigeria and he who must
come to equity must come with clean hands!
And that is what we mean by Common Sense

| Politics › Tribunal Decides Gbajabiamila’s Fate Next Month by sultan457(op): 5:36am On Aug 28, 2015 |
Lagos—The National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal
sitting in Ikeja, will on September 29, 2015 give
judgment in a petition filed by the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, candidate in Surulere Federal Constituency I
of Lagos State, Mr. Tony Ashikodi, challenging the
declaration of the House of Representatives Majority
leader Olufemi Gbajabiamila of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, as the winner of the March 28, 2015 poll.
The three-man panel, lead by Justice C.U Anwuka fixed
the date after listening to the submission and adopting
the final written address by parties counsels.
Ashokodi, through his lawyer Mr. Kalu Onuah, is
challenging the victory of Gbajabiamila and alleged
irregularities during the election, which he said, breached
the provisions of Independent National Electoral
Commission’s, INEC, approved guidelines for the polls.
At the resumed hearing of the matter yesterday, the
petitioner’s counsel submitted that Gbajabiamila was
not duly elected or returned by the majority of lawful
votes cast at the election.
He urged the court to void the election by reason of
manifest breach and violation of the Electoral Act 2015
Election Guidelines, adding that a fresh election should
be ordered and to be conducted by the INEC for the
constituency.
The petitioner had alleged irregularities in the conduct of
the election, stating that “the final figures in the tally of
results the Form EC 8C(i) were cancelled and altered with
a view of declaring Gbajabiamila the winner of the
election.
He also said the 14,351 received by the APC candidate
was whimsically changed to 21,715 while 16,079 earlier
recorded for petitioner was changed to 14,550.” cc: www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/tribunal-decides-gbajabiamilas-fate-next-month/ |
| Politics › Orubebe, An Elevated Thug – Oshiomhole by sultan457(op): 11:20pm On Aug 27, 2015 |
BENIN CITY—GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, has described Mr Godsday Orubebe, former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, as an elevated thug and a political jobber, who is out to make noise as a means of getting his next meal ticket. In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Peter Okhiria, the governor in reaction to Orubebe’s fresh attack on him, said: “Reading Godsday Orubebe’s infantile outburst saying that the governor of Edo State is a “garage boy,” easily exposes the boondocks orientation and lowly mind of someone, who almost plunged the country into political anarchy in the last general election. Oshiomhole vs Orubebe It easily underscores one of the reasons why the Goodluck Jonathan administration failed abysmally to understand the nexus between promise and performance, between problems and solutions, and above all between prosperity and poverty. “Orubebe is no more than a common tout and political thug, too illiterate to know the difference between a “garage” and a “motor park,” recruited by his paymasters as Deputy Director-General of the 2015 Goodluck/Sambo Campaign Organisation, and agent provocateur to truncate the last elections. But for the maturity and sound leadership orientation of Professor Atahiru Jega, Nigeria would still have been reeking in utter anarchy and political protestations. “With such indecorous conduct coming from a man who ostensibly is an “Elder’ of a Church, calls to question the whole essence of his character, personality, upbringing and spirituality. That singular conduct of his at the election is a living symphony of his egregious blunder, absurdities, incongruities and oddities, all of which are attributes of touts always desirous to make their voices heard. “It is due to his amnesia that he forgot to understand that as a Nigerian and Governor of a State, Oshiomhole has statutory right to go in and out of the Presidential Villa to discuss issues that affect Edo State. Former President Jonathan was President of Nigeria and not President of his party, the PDP. He was under obligation to attend to all parties and persons irrespective of their political affiliation. “The real problem of former President Jonathan was having people like Orubebe, who pigeon-holed him as president of the Ijaw nation and prevented him from appreciating the enormity of the challenges facing the Nigerian nation. To further compound the challenges was the dénouement of his unruly and thuggish imputation during the elections, such tendentious character index that is now synonymous with this Niger-Deltan.” that notorious script; such a shameless role by a shameless father who was supposed to be a role model for good parenting.” Source:http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/orubebe-an-elevated-thug-oshiomhole/ cc:lalasticlala |
| Politics › The NPF Is Now Used To Promote The Name Of Mountain Of Fire And Miracles Church by sultan457(op): 10:18pm On Aug 27, 2015 |
The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Church seem to have
employed a clever ploy that will potentially turn
members of the Nigerian Police into mobile billboard for
the church (see pictures*), and help it to promote its
name and logo- at the tax-payers expense. The church
donated hi viz string vest to the police with the declared
intention to save lives- by making them to be seen in the
dark. This should ordinarily be applauded as an
important initiative and a good example of why
religious bodies help the nation. However, the devil is in
the detail. No one needs to look too closely before seeing
clearly inscribed the name and logo of the church printed
on the string vest.
How come those who like to scream, in coarse voices, that
religion should be kept out of politics/government, of
imposition of shariah and islamisation have all
disappeared into thin air? How come that those who
have advocated that we turn religion into a hobby (that
religion belongs only in peoples minds, homes and
mosque/church) have not risen up in horror of this most
brazen attempt by MFM to colonize the state police.
Imagine the furor this would have generated if a NASFAT
has done exactly the same thing. I will like to know
exactly what those town clowns who spent countless
hours trying to malign Muslims and claiming to
educate the nation on the secret Muslim plan to Islamise
the country through the presence of Arabic inscription on
the notes, and the introduction of Shariah compliant
(among other outrageous claims) really think of this
"trojan horse". I will really love to watch the drama.
Aside the need to keep the police force and its men
professional and neutral, it is most important that the
police authority unequivocally rejects any attempt to
portray it as inextricably connected with or aligned to
the church. We should not only desire to see a police force
that is free of such a romantic branding, the police
authority is obligated to ensure it is not so.

| Politics › Buhari To Probe 2nd Niger Bridge Contract by sultan457(op): 7:13pm On Aug 26, 2015 |
The Director General, Infrastructure Concession Regulatory
Commission (ICRC), Aminu Diko, on Wednesday,
disclosed that the Federal Government is scrutinizing the
contract cost and conditions surrounding the Second
Niger Bridge project.
Diko, who spoke to State House correspondents after
making presentations to President Muhammadu Buhari
at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, stated that the Ministry
of Works has been asked to review the contract cost of the
project.
He also said the Commission has also identified some
errors in the project.
He said: “The second Niger Bridge is one of the projects
that we discussed with the President. We did say yes it is
in the commission for regulatory oversight. We have been
discussing the transaction with the ministry of works.
But before it can be finalized, the commission has to give
a certificate of compliance, but we haven’t given that
because we have seen a lot of issues that we are
uncomfortable with.
“We are talking with the ministry of works for them to
correct it. The communities around that area are
clamouring that their lands have been taken and that
they have not been compensated adequately.
“As a matter of fact we got a letter from Onitsha
traditional council complaining that they have not been
adequately represented in this transaction. These kind of
issues, we are not saying that something has not been
done properly but we need to be convinced that these few
problems are sorted out properly.
“We will also talk about the actual cost of the bridge,
eventually we have asked the ministry of works to review
it and justify how much the project should cost.”
However, since the emergence of President Buhari, there
have been growing fears, especially from prominent Igbo
leaders and built environment experts that the Federal
Government has dumped the construction of the project.
The bridge which was flagged off on March 10, 2014 by
former President Goodluck Jonathan is expected to be
completed in 48 months (March 2018).
Measuring about 1,590 metres long the bridge whose
construction cost was put at N117, 860, 700, 741.82, VAT
inclusive, forms part of the 11.90 kilometer length project.
Although, officials of both the Federal Ministry of Works
and Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, have severally denied
reports that work on the project has been discontinued,
Vanguard had earlier gathered that only skeletal works
are ongoing as most of the workers have allegedly been
retrenched by the contractors. Source: www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/buhari-to-probe-2nd-niger-bridge-contract/ |

| Politics › Alleged N1trn Diversion: Probing EFCC Boss Is Illegal, Says Senate Unity Forum by sultan457(op): 6:58pm On Aug 26, 2015 |
The invitation of the Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde, by the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, was on Wednesday, criticized by the Senate Unity Forum led by Senator Ahmed Lawan. The Forum said the invitation was illegal and a breach of the Senate Standing Rules. It said there is no record indicating that the petition by Mr. George Uboh, was presented to the Senate in plenary. It asked the Senate leadership to halt the ongoing probe of the EFCC by the committee. The Forum made its position known in a statement signed by Senator Ahmed Lawan, Senator George Akume, Senator Abu Ibrahim and Senator Barnabas Gemade. The statement said: “The Senate Unity Forum hereby declares that the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions probe of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde is illegal and a breach of the Senate Standing Rules. “In standard parliamentary practice, a petition is routed through either a Senator or a member of the House of Representatives. Upon receipt of such petition, the representative will inform the presiding officer of the chamber and, thereafter, present the petition in plenary. “Upon presentation in plenary, the presiding officer will invite the Senator/Representative to lay the same petition on the table in the chamber, which automatically becomes a public document. “Thereafter, the presiding officer will refer the petition to the appropriate committee for consideration upon which it would be returned to the Senate in plenary. “In this regard, nothing of the sort happened. Senate proceeded on recess on August 13 and it is not on record that the petition of Mr. George Uboh, accusing Lamorde of diverting over N1 trillion recovered from some corrupt Nigerians, including the former Bayelsa State Governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, and the former Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun was presented to Senate in plenary.” The Senate Unity Forum urged the Senate leadership to halt the probe of the EFCC. source: www.vanguardngr.com/2015/08/alleged-n1trn-diversion-probing-efcc-boss-is-illegal-says-unity-forum/ |
| Politics › We’ll Defeat Fayose Without Federal Might- Ex- Speaker by sultan457(op): 6:27am On Aug 22, 2015 |
A former Speaker, Ekiti State House of Assembly, Femi Bamisile, has said that the All Progressives Congress won’t rely on federal might to defeat Governor Ayodele Fayose in 2018 governorship poll. Bamisile, who has declared his intention for the governorship seat, said the party would embark on serious and widespread mobilisation to woo electorate. He spoke on Friday during a courtesy call by his campaign team on the APC’s State Working Committee. Bamisile said, “We are not going to rely on President Muhammadu Buhari or federal might to win the coming governorship election. We have the capacity to defeat Fayose on our own. “In the June 21, 2014 governorship election, we lost to the PDP by a margin of over 80,000 votes. But in the presidential election, it reduced to about 50,000 despite that Fayose did not allow some of our members to campaign. “With this, it was evident that the APC in Ekiti is very strong. I want to assure our leaders that we will win the next election convincingly. But we have to work seriously for it so that we won’t disappoint President Buhari.” Bamisile stated that he had started monthly distribution of free petrol to commercial motorcyclists operating in the state, adding that other critical voting population would enjoy similar gesture soon. The State APC Chairman, Chief Jide Awe, represented by his deputy, Mrs. Kemi Olajide, and a leader of the party, Chief George Ojo, praised Bamisile for coming out at a critical time to give the party a strong voice. Awe urged him to shun violence or any campaign of calumny in his aspiration. He assured that the party will give all the aspirants a level-playing ground and won’t impose anybody on them.

The youngest governorship aspirant in Bayelsa state, Moses Siasia has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, regretting that young people have no future in the party. The 35 year-old Chairman of multi-billion naira business empire, Mosilo Group, in a statement, stressed that the leadership of the PDP in Bayelsa has isolated him because he chose to champion the cause of the youths. “I always wanted to see a PDP that will transform into modern day realities and a party that places high premium on the YOUTH who are the engine room of any nation but the more I pushed for youth inclusion in all affairs of the party, the more I was isolated. There was always greater emphasis on money politic rather than ideological prospects. I have carefully watched over the years and have come to the painful conclusion that the PDP is not ready to change its old ways of imposition, godfatherism and gangsterism,” he noted in the statement. Read full statement below: For many years now, I have been actively involved in supporting successive governments in my beloved country Nigeria. I have always believed that every citizen needs to support their government for such government to succeed which was why I supported the governments of late President Umaru Musa Yaradua and that of Goodluck Jonathan. I had thought that by supporting these two governments, I would have fulfilled my patriotic duties as a citizen of my country. I have continuously done my best through my various contributions towards governance in Nigeria through my organization “Nigerian Young Professional Forum (NYPF). I joined the PDP when one of my overzealous cousins went to my ward to talk about registering me there. I later found the idea to be a very good one and was excited about the whole idea of party politics and making a difference. I continued to be actively involved in party politics from 2013 till date and the more I got involved in the politics of the party, the more discouraged I became. I saw that so many things were not been done properly and I always wanted to advice and make corrections but the more vocal I became, the more they isolated me, may be because they felt I was a threat to the business as usual way of doing things. I always wanted to see a PDP that will transform into modern day realities and a party that places high premium on the YOUTH who are the engine room of any nation but the more I pushed for youth inclusion in all affairs of the party, the more I was isolated. There was always greater emphasis on money politic rather than ideological prospects. I have carefully watched over the years and have come to the painful conclusion that the PDP is not ready to change its old ways of imposition, godfatherism and gangsterism. After the elections, it became very obvious and clear that Nigerians had rejected the PDP because they were tired of seeing the same old faces doing the same thing for16years. Faces that the people were convinced are corrupt and cant bring the desired change to the people. The people wanted new faces and something new. The PDP had a clear chance of redeeming its image in the eyes of the Nigerian people by injecting fresh ideas and fresh faces which would have automatically rebranded the party and restore confidence in the party. I had presented myself to the party on many occasions urging them to use me as that face with a perfect case for Bayelsa State but the party has failed to take advantage of this great opportunity. The PDP had every opportunity to rebrand and rediscover itself after its defeat at the just concluded general election but I can now see they do not wish to change or evolve. I, have, therefore, today the 22nd of August decided to leave the party for ideological reasons. I can no longer stay on in the party because they do not have respect for my generation or me. I have nothing personal with the party and will continue to respect her but I think young people have no future in the party.

| Politics › How Boko Haram Entered Nigeria-This Day by sultan457(op): 6:58am On Aug 10, 2015 |
Senator representing Yobe East senatorial district, Bukar Abba Ibrahim By Omololu Ogunmade in Abuja Senator representing Yobe East senatorial district, Bukar Abba Ibrahim, has disclosed that contrary to beliefs that Boko Haram started in Nigeria about six or 10 years ago, the sect had actually been in existence in the North for over three decades. According to him, the sect had been in the country since the 1970s following the killing of its spiritual leader in Egypt in 1970 by President Gammal Abdel Naseer. Ibrahim, who is a former Governor of Yobe State, said the sect came as a religious ideology and not a political movement. The senator, who serves on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) made the disclosure to journalists in Abuja. Furthermore, he said the sect which began as an ideological movement against western education and some other western ideas including democracy, first arrived in Minna, the capital of Niger State, before moving to Kano, Yobe and finally settled in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State between 2001 and 2002. Ibrahim added that it was not yet a full blown terrorist group at the time. He explained further that Boko Haram militants are not political thugs constituted by some politicians, saying rather, Boko Haram dislikes democracy as a western idea. He said: “The History of Boko Haram dates back to 10, 15 and even 20 years or more ago. This thing didn’t start six years ago as largely claimed. It started much, much earlier than the six years. Boko Haram is a philosophy driven by a warped religious ideology. It is strictly an ideology on ground in some parts of the world for quite sometimes now. “It all started, we were told, in Egypt during the reign of Gammal Abdel Naseer who died in 1970. Naseer beheaded the leader of the Boko Haram Islamic sect in Egypt in 1970, an action that made his followers to scatter to other parts of Africa, especially the North and West Africa including Nigeria. “When they came to Nigeria, their spread started in Minna, now the capital of Niger State, up to Kano and some other areas before moving to Yobe, and Maiduguri where they permanently settled down and later turned out to be a full blown militant group because of the high-handedness of the Nigeria Police against them. “Police in that part of the country started killing some of them even at the grave yard while carrying out burial of some of their dead ones which consequently made them to become fully militant by first taking arms and ammunition against the Police and men of other security agencies and by extension, the Nigerian state. “Boko, meaning, western education is haram, meaning, prohibited, forbidden or unacceptable is just an idea that later turned to be something else. It has nothing to do with being employed by politicians or being used as political thugs but the issue of youth unemployment worsened it further by the unemployed youths serving as large army of recruitment for the insurgents”. He recalled the level of destruction that Boko Haram insurgents had carried out in North-east in recent times, noting that it will take 20 years to rebuild the people and places affected. According to him, no fewer than 6,600 orphans were camped in only one location in Yobe State besides over 200 primary schools burnt by the insurgents in the state alone “So many government structures have been destroyed. More than 200 primary schools have been destroyed. There are 6,600 orphans in a camp alone. “I’ve not seen my house in the village for 18 months now which I learnt have even been bombed down by the military during their war against the insurgents who earlier seized the property and drove people away from the village (Goneri). Two hundred and seventeen of them are presently staying in my house in Damaturu among who are 40 primary and 50 secondary school pupils that are now schooling in Damaturu,” he said. He expressed hopes that like other similar groups in the past, Boko Haram will become history moreso that it is allegedly partnering the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) Source:www.thisdaylive.com/articles/how-boko-haram-entered-nigeria/216981 source: 1 Like |
| Politics › Former NSA Dasuki’s Father Discharged From $4,000 Per Night Hospital Treatment by sultan457(op): 7:00am On Aug 08, 2015 |
Deposed Sultan Ibrahim Dasuki, the father of Nigeria’s embattled former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, was on Thursday evening discharged from a hospital in the United Kingdom where he had spent two months at a cost of at least $4,000 per night. The hospital, the London Clinic, is the same facility where the Ooni of Ife, Oba Sijuade Okunade, died late last month. Nigeria’s former leader, Goodluck Jonathan, was also treated there for stomach ailment a couple of years ago. The older Dasuki’s Sokoto home was searched by Nigeria’s security forces during his stay at the hospital as they looked for evidence of corruption against his son. The former Sultan was admitted to the clinic at 20 Devonshire Place, London W1G 6BW, two months ago. He was first treated in the Critical Care department before being moved into a self-contained palatial section of the hotel where he was discharged tonight. The cost of the former Sultan’s hospital stay was borne by the former NSA, who is embroiled in a weapons scam which took place during his tenure at a crucial time that Nigeria faced the insurgent group, Boko Haram. Following SaharaReporters’ exposure of the scandal in weapons procurement involving Nigeria and Israel, the ex-NSA released a bunch of photos of what he claimed were sophisticated weapons he purchased to fight Boko Haram. Sambo Dasuki’s position however contradicts that of a former Chief of Defense Staff, Alex Badeh, who claimed Nigeria had not purchased any significant weaponry since 2006. In the past several years, the Jonathan made heavy budgetary provisions not only for the Ministry of Defence, but for the Office of the NSA, but they have not been accounted for.
