haha is Alassane Ouattara not gbagbo

memory lost,noted

African leaders and their zombie idea,what's the meaning of the gap between osinbanjo,and gbagbo and obasanjo,while gbagbo chair is set on top of center rug,with space both sides,17th century idea.

midas touch in business, is synonymous with people in Eastern Nigeria, so not surprise.

That's none of ur bizness,ur intruding into his privacy by encroaching on his territories by this act,even snapping him,thereby putting asunder what God has joined together, if the wife is a nairalander and of deeper life ministry, and ur also displaying busy body,by taking paracetamol for another person headache, not knowing if he is trying to capture a style, his wife will display for him,in conclusion we have so much to worry about than this issue, but it looks irresponsible/ungentlemanly to expose porn pictures or video public.

Ur opinion, Ur poems.

which law are they going to applied to remove ekweremadu,because the constitutional required numbers to impeach him,will required PDP members supports,which is a daunting task.

Why is the media posturing as though Saraki needs Buhari more than Buhari needs him. Truth be told, Buhari needs Saraki more than Saraki needs him. Antagonizing the Senate president could be the bane of Buhari's administration. As it stands, saraki has little to nothing to lose in not having buhari's support, but same cannot be said of Buhari. The headlines should ideally sound this way: SARAKI REFUSES TO SEE BUHARI. My advice to PMB is to go back to talking terms with the senate president, especially now that the window of opportunity is still open and the later is respecting the president's office and humbling himself. A time would come that the senate president would be tired of all these contemptous attitude from the president and APC and would then make both know the kind of power the head of the legislature, a seperate arm of government, wields.

l concur with ur points,buhari really needs saraki and dogara most,than they need him,with opposition in their support, they can rundown their tenure without winking a hook abt buhari,and still given Pmb some punches across, just like Tambuwal and Jonathan, even tambuwal laugh last.

He did not perform well in the north,were he allowed underage voting, but then overall, he tried, no man is 100% perfect, he merit ministerial portfolio like internal affairs, labour or works and housing.

APC government, confusion and controversy, is like sugar and tea.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, (NDLEA) has arrested an international drug peddler from Ozobulu, Anambra state.

The agency discovered three clandestine laboratories used for illegal production of methamphetamine built by the dealer Chukwunwendu Sylvester Ikejiakwu , aka Blessed,.

The illegal drug factories were detected in Anambra State South East Nigeria. A suspected drug kingpin Mr. Chukwunwendu Sylvester Ikejiakwu aka Blessed who was arrested is said to be the owner of the laboratories and leader of an International Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO) that recruits and sponsors drug couriers to China, Malaysia, Turkey and Italy.




NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive, Ahmadu Giade said that sufficient evidences had been gathered on the suspect to ease his prosecution. According to the NDLEA boss who described the arrest as the latest outstanding operational success recorded by the Agency, “the Special Enforcement Team (SET) of the NDLEA has concluded a model investigation of an International Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO).

The Agency apprehended the suspected leader of a drug syndicate in his country home at Ozubulu after thirteen months of intense surveillance. Three additional clandestine laboratories that produce methamphetamine had been discovered in his home town in Anambra State”.

Giade stated that based on intelligence report received on April 23, 2014, a high level covert operation commenced on the suspect Mr. Chukwunwendu Sylvester Ikejiakwu aka Blessed of Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State.
“The 37 year old suspected drug kingpin was found to be deeply involved in Unlawful Exportation of illicit drugs, Unlawful Assembling as well as running of methamphetamine production laboratories in the Eastern part of Nigeria. He shuttles between his country home in Ozubulu, Nnewi and No. 2, St, James Close Ajao Estate Isolo Lagos where he resides in Lagos for his drug business” he added.

The Agency equally uncovered that Chukwunwendu Sylvester Ikejiakwu aka Blessed is the Group Managing Director of Blessed Group of Companies. He hides under the cover of motorcycle parts business in running a drug cell that has international affiliation. His companies include Blessed Benita Global Limited, Ideal Motorcycle Company Limited and God’s Special Enterprise Limited. He specializes in recruiting and sponsoring drug couriers to China, Malaysia, Turkey and Italy. He also pays his couriers an average of $5,000 dollars per trip.

He runs the clandestine methamphetamine laboratories in his premises located in Akubuezem Nnewi, Anambra State. It was gathered that he hired one Raphael who is a professional methamphetamine cook to work for him. He pays him five hundred thousand naira (N500,000) for his service and seven hundred thousand naira (N700,000) for the purchase of precursor chemicals per production cycle. The production capacity per cycle is 14kg.

“During a search on one of the laboratories at his Nnewi house, 2.615kg of liquid methamphetamine was found inside a yellow plastic jug and 250grammes of crystallized methamphetamine concealed in a white transparent polythene bag. Methamphetamine laboratory equipment seized from his house include the following; One (1) approximate volume measuring scale, Six (6) heating filters, Six giant conical flasks, industrial tubes and cups of sodium hydroxide. Others are containers of iodine, Acetone, Hydrochloric Acid, weighing scale, masks and hand gloves among others” the NDLEA boss added.
Also recovered from him are paraphernalia for drug concealment similar to the ones seized with drugs at the airports and land borders.

They include an electronic weighing scale, assorted artifacts, laptop bags, motorcycle parts, air compressors, bus and truck mirrors, araldite and Atiso paint, processed brown envelopes and impulse sealer. Others are transparent packing nylon and carbon paper, tower foil paper, needles, threads, super glue and many more.

The suspect had two (2) Nigeria International passports and one Ghana passport all bearing his photographs with different names.

Details of his three passports are as follows; Ikechukwu Sylvester Chukwunwe, Nigeria passport with No: 04272646; Samson Odinakar: Nigeria passport No: A03472814 and Anthony Yeboah Frank, Ghana passport No: H2437245. Two other passports belonging to suspected drug couriers were also seized.

While surveillance on this criminal group was ongoing, the NDLEA intercepted 23kg of methamphetamine on February 19, 2015 along Badagry expressway, Lagos en-route Cotonou. The seized drug was ultimately traced to Chukwunwendu Sylvester Ikejiakwu aka BLESSED. One AZUBIKE is now standing trial at the Federal High court Lagos in respect of that seizure. Some drug couriers sponsored by him have been arrested and are in prison custody in China, Turkey and Malaysia.

Some of the assets believed to be purchased with drug proceeds had been traced. “We are investigating over sixteen bank accounts belonging to him in different banks. He has a Toyota Venza with vehicle registration No AAA 18 BP, a Peugeot 406 with vehicle registration No FST 587 AS; a Q5 Audi four runner with vehicle registration No EPE 546 CF and a Toyota Sienna SUV with vehicle registration No KRD 399 CG.

He allegedly bought a piece of land at No. 21A Joy Avenue, Ajao Estate in 2009 at the cost of twenty five million naira (N25,000,000) and rebuilt it in 2012 to three (3) story building at the cost of ninety million naira (N90,000,000) only. He also bought a property at No 2 St. James Close Ajao Estate for seventeen million naira (N17,000,000) and built a five (5) bedroom duplex on it at the cost of twenty five million naira (N25,000,000) only.

The illegal drug activities of the suspect have grave economic, social and political consequences on the nation. Methamphetamine production generates toxic waste that pollutes the environment and exposes workers, neighbours and guests to health hazards. Young and active youths are used as drug couriers to smuggle produced drugs outside the country. This is in addition to creating local drug addicts due to availability of the drugs at affordable cost.

Some of the drug couriers he sponsored are languishing in jail in China, Malaysia, Turkey and Italy. Some are believed to have died in foreign prisons. Besides, Nigeria has suffered international embarrassment due to arrest of our nationals abroad
Notwithstanding the challenges, Giade said that the era of in-depth and analytical investigations have come to stay in the NDLEA. A solid foundation has been established and we shall continue to build on the existing structures. The Agency shall ensure that this case is diligently prosecuted and all assets traced to the suspect and his group is forfeited to the federal government.

He reassured members of the public that no drug baron shall go unpunished. At the most expedient time, more drug barons shall be exposed and prosecuted. I wish to thank the officers that took part in the operation and urge them not to relent as every outstanding performance shall be rewarded.

Old news,ain,t u tired of this news.

frisky2good:
Although I have not been able to confirm if the passport being circulated online by that website that is now practically synonymous with blackmail is genuine, I will base my argument on the assumption that "IF IT HAPPENS TO BE TRUE". My reason is simple: If it is found to be false, No case. It is only if the passport is confirmed to be genuine that we need to waste time deliberating on what the constitution says about the matter.

Now, what makes an individual a bonafide citizen of this country?
According to the constitution (section 25),

25. (1) The following persons are citizens of Nigeria by birth-namely-

(a) every person born in Nigeria before the date of independence, either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents belongs or belonged to a community indigenous to Nigeria;

Provided that a person shall not become a citizen of Nigeria by virtue of this section if neither of his parents nor any of his grandparents was born in Nigeria.

(b) every person born in Nigeria after the date of independence either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents is a citizen of Nigeria; and

(c) every person born outside Nigeria either of whose parents is a citizen of Nigeria.

There are other criteria but let me stop here. Now, I do not know where Bukky was born but I know his parents were born here in Nigeria so he's a Nigerian ...........right?


Ok, let's continue.

What makes a man with a British passport become a Non-Nigerian? The constitution has the answer.

28. (1) Subject to the other provisions of this section, a person shall forfeit forthwith his Nigerian citizenship if, not being a citizen of Nigeria by birth, he acquires or retains the citizenship or nationality of a country, other than Nigeria, of which he is not a citizen by birth.

Please read this sentence very well because in this case if Bukky was either born in Nigeria or Uk, this section does not nullify his Nigerian citizenship.

Having established that Mr. Saraki is a bonafide Nigerian citizen, let's go to chapter IV (NATIONAL ASSEMBLY)

Qualifications for Membership of National Assembly and Right of Attendance

65

(1) Subject to the provisions of section 66 of this Constitution, a person shall be qualified for election as a member of:

(a) the Senate, if he is a citizen of Nigeria and has attained the age of 35 years

And what (concerning citizenship) disqualifies an individual?

66

(1) No person shall be qualified for election to the Senate or the House of Representatives if:

(a) subject to the provisions of section 28 of this Constitution, he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than Nigeria or, except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly, has made a declaration of allegiance to such a country;

Since we have established that Saraki is a Nigerian citizen by virtue of his satisfying the provisions of section 28 of the constitution of the Federal republic of Nigeria, I conclude based on the facts available that Saraki is qualified for the position of Senate president.

Taiye Taiwo and Mikel Obi has French and British passport respectively, while Austin Okocha and Dan Amokachie has Turkish passports also, has it ever affected them not to represent Nigeria? NO,then saraki has no case.

this one no be issue, so many of us has dual ship,just like given birth to ur child in USA or Hong Kong, as a Nigerian residing in Nigeria, training ur child in schools overseas, then tommorow people will say he is not Nigerian, that's fallacy.

don't wake the sleeping lion, by touching his tail,what about buhari certificate, still in our memory, or tinubu drugs and corruption scandal, I siddon dey watch.

These pictures were taken today 28th of June 2015 at 7am.

These pictures depict the deplorable state of Okota road. What is even most disturbing is the fact that this road is not listed as part of the roads earmarked to be fixed by the LASG.

http://insidemainland.com/checkout-the-roads-lagos-state-have-scheduled-for-repairs-in-your-area/

l mentioned this road okota - cele road yesterday I saw the list of soon to rehabilitate road in Lagos state, meanwhile the reconstruction of Ago palace way has been abandoned, after initial eye service or gra gra by ambode,abi APC.

am always distracted in church. Especially when the service is taking too long to end and I have a game I want to go and play and it's going to start soon. sex is another thing, am always distracted when am expecting a babe especially when sex is sure. Even when its not yet time for the babe to come. Always thinking of how it's gonna be right from church.
Let's say am always distracted in church by many things I can't mention here.
help! How do I stay focused in church

immaturity or youthful exuberance is the curse.

Tinubu looks better off wearing cap and smiling than laughing.

chiefololade:
Most of the people ranting don't know the meaning of helipad

A helicopter landing pad (helipad) is a landing area or platform for helicopters. While helicopters are able to operate on a variety of relatively flat surfaces, a fabricated helipad provides a clearly marked hard surface away from obstacles where a helicopter can land safely.

Cost less than 5 million naira, compare it to cost of fuelling SUVs from Katsina to Daura in four years.

To everybody quoting me wrongly, I didn't say they won't fuel helicopter, what I am saying is the cost to build a helipad is reduced compared to the cost of fueling SUVs (jeeps) that will carry him from Katsina, the state capital that has airport to his hometown in Daura. In both cases, fueling of helicopter is compulsory.

helicopters can land easily on grass planted land or concrete cemented marked out zone, that won't obstruct pilots view.

madridguy:
Best response from a nairalander over the helipad saga.

Re: FG Builds Helipad For Buhari In Daura by Rawani: 7:48am
Building a helipad which will allow the President fly to Daura directly from the villa will be a cheaper option than using the Eagle One Presidential jet to first fly to Katsina and then moving the entire convoy by road to Daura, a trip that is repeated for his return as well.

Let's keep in mind that the soil in Otueke is loamy, in contrast to the sandy Daura soil which would raise dust when landing that could disastrously block the pilots visibility. The construction cost of a helipad is about N2 million.

This is a 'clueful' decision which is highly efficient, especially as it significantly reduces the cost of governance.

no be only 2m,na 100k

SO THE IGBOS THAT ARE BOASTING OF ENGAGING THE NIGERIAN ARMY FOR THEIR Biafra FREEDOM CANT EVEN ACCOMODATE ORDINARY UNTRAINED BOKO PRISONERS WHAT A BUNCH OF COWARDS EMPTY CHEST BEATERS

kontinu ur dick riding as I can also see in ur profile picture and never get tired,but avoid insulting Igbos, because we are tribe after God heart, Jewish, we don't answer acronyms that debase us,or depicts us as a slut,and any conspiracy against us to bring sorrow instead of joy or development will always be exposed and resisted by us.

Smooyis:
What of ejigbo axis and isolo to ikotun road?

even okota- cele rd

is there any special incentives guiding the President, that we continue hearing lamentation from DSS,relieving their job of guiding the president should not create such pain,as long as their salaries is not affected, except they are scared of being sent to boko haram enclave.

Good minister articulate good ideas,policies, road map,and use his authority to enforce, supervise,monitor to ensure the actualisation of the programs.

Good for them. End time loading.....

Gej was criticized up to his bedroom, with different abusing name, with different caricature pictures mimicking him,but he hold on to his tenacity,now is still morning for Pmb,oya afu nke tulu father, very soon south west will join the chorus, in bashing him.

kodded:
Any alliance that reached it goal will definitely breakup..........





...........Not surprise about the commotion in apc, their goal was to clinch the power, now that they have done that, disagreement will come in, and final breakup



So much for Change

...Smh ...

comradeship in this situation don't fades away easily, division has been created,and they will run down the tenure together, saraki and dogara will rather click with the opposition,considering the required numbers of opposition is enough to withstand impeachment,thereby dancing to their whims and caprices,any crack that will bring division in opposition will be avoided, in order not to allow opposition join forces with party faithfuls.

owobokiri:
This is the APC legacy that will ultimately destroy Nigeria. 2 sections of Nigeria that contribute almost zilch to the national coffers somehow ganged up to grab power and have been acting as if they are on a mission to 'teach everybody else a lesson'. . , grabbing all positions for themselves while utilising resources from other areas to foot the bills. . This country is a multi ethnic sttate. Her composition demands a well entrenched system of decentralisation and devaluation of power. Buhari and gang don't seem to get this. .

PDP warts and all, implemented a very strong-nerve calming zoning system that gave every section of this over troubled country some sense of belonging. Tinubu and buhari said that was wrong. Now, we are back to the days of the winner takes all and its attendant mayhem. How will they militants react to this news? How will the political leaders from the oil producing east handle this evil reality? WITH the exception of the boko haram madness, we have had relative peace in this country all through the jonathan years. Now we are going to watch this peace sacrificed on buharis alter of tribal chauvinism.. .

Ultimately, there will be a push back , because nobody is ready for any sort of internal colonialism from a bunch of administrative misfits representing a parochially conservative culture.. . If you can only stand a government/administration populated from top to bottom by your tribal siblings, get yourself a tribal republic!!! I don't know why some people are desperate to force-fed others with their nauseously retarded tribal hubris in this unfortunate country. These people are slowly nudging this country towards a civil war with their wayward ambitions.

What am still imagining or asking, if this Niger Delta oil is the other way round, been founded on northern corridor, there won't be a Nigeria, talk less of having southerners working or occupying the top echelon in oil associated organization, meanwhile buhari is busy scavenging the desert in the north in search of oil,as the first task he ordered on assumption of office, while oil deposits has since been found in Anambra state, which i don't think is yet to be explored, due to bureaucracy around it,rather than see to is take off,he is commiting resources on wild goose chase,which previous northern rulers has done without result.

Dollyak:
What can I say. I really am losing faith in this country. A country where freedom of expression is prohibited is not a country to die for.

but freedom of expression is not prohibited in 9ja,rather we have freedom of information (foi)courtesy of GEJ.

APC senators should reconvene and Impeach him now!

Where does he expect The President to submit the List of his Ministerial Nominees??

Why Must He Close the Chamber?
#UnSeatSarakiNow!

Is baba ready to submit ministerial list? what is holding him since,? has the list now turned to list of life? so precious to him is the list,that he his holding it close to his heart,looks funny,that's what u get with old mentality.

I watched it from the beginning, when a rep moved to the Mace to grab it,while the speaker was smiling, suddenly a brawl arises within the mace stand,while some were carrying placards written NIGERIAN VOTED YOUR PARTY, others were shouting PDP power,and shielding the speaker, this APC undemocratic norms is something else.
