Was her petition as a judge or as a concerned citizen of the state?

Who cares where they are from Jupiter or Pluto or what they worship, as long as they are competent and chosen based on merit?

We are more concerned about resolving the issue of corruption, laying of proper framework and building of endurance institutions and systems than investments for now.

When corruption issues are resolved, we shall have our funds repatriated to us, which can be used to jump start the almost comatose economy.

Any impatient investor that cannot see the importance of tackling the corruption issue and laying of proper framework as the first of the things to be done, should take his funds to Ghana or Benin republic

God bless Mr. President.

I did not waste my vote, unlike in 2011.

That is one of the dividend of the presidential visit to White house.

God bless Mr President. He is just everything the Drunken Master was never able to be.

The nightmare of corrupt officials, their family members, supporters and sycophants.

I forgot.....saTANoids and wailing wailers inclusive.

There is nothing like SUG. It is Student Union (SU).

Another name for Aregbe is fraud.

He was more particular about changing of school uniform than payment of the exam fees.

What a governor!!!!!

Its unfortunate that Nigerians who want to true democracy will be the one tongue lashing someone who was duly elected according to the Nigeria's democratic process. We would rather support Tinubu who is ready to usurp all the powers in the presidency, senate and house of rep through the back door (a disturbing show of shame).

My opinion, support democracy all the way, Saraki was duly elected he should be allowed to function. If he messes up, he should be thrown out according to Nigeria's democratic process.

Tinubu should be put in his place, he should realize that this is not AC or Lagos where he does the hand-picking. obviously, his definition of democracy goes by contrary to the peoples definition.

Ekwerenmadu should be probed and if found guilty, he should be thrown out but if innocent we should rally to support him too.

We have to have a very clear mind in making sure only the true democracy we voted for prevailed in this country. We will not allow anybody whatsoever to hijack it because of individual or party interest. NIGERIA IS BIGGER THAN THEM ALL.

WORD.

UncleJudax:
Hahaha. Why

Consult your map and history books.

Pain indeed when minorities are dancing azonto in your houses declared a ban adorned properties, they even renamed your town, renamed your streets etc

Alas, you are here blabbing like the Mengistu that you are.

Park well jare by joining your mates in Okija Shrine.

proxillin:
[size=28pt]And your tribe cowardice and bigotry is written in dungs. Weere[/size]

Despite that we conquered you and enslaved you.

We taught you how to spell your names.

Su.cks to be one of this criminal minded covetous lots that were known for dancing round a pot of boiling human being.

ArodewilliamsT:
Why should the remove it. The north owns 100% of kwara and kogi. The Fulani conquered and took over the those land. They even have Emirs there and you want to deny them their birthright? Are you a thief?

See this flat.head nyamiri.

Human beings are talking, orango tang too is blabbing.

Realisticman:
Then remove the Ebiras and other tribes that also migrated to the western part of Nigeria.

Migrated you said.

Who asked them to migrate into our domain.

Kwara is 80% yoruba apart from Bariba and Nupe speaking areas.

Kogi is 15-20% -- all the Yagba LGAs.

Realisticman:
Is there no facts available? Check out the map bellow on the issue of land mass .Then on the population let us also check the latest census. Or conduct a new one.

Remove yoruba speaking areas from Kwara and Kogi.

I just love this president and his swags.


PMB, the nightmare of all corrupt Nigerians and saTANoids.

The Judge is not in any trouble.

All her claims her verifiable:

1. Is Opon Imo not a fraud? What is the relationship of the chief promoter of this project and the Governor?

2. Aregbe collected loans to finance projects from inception to completion, why were the projects not completed? Where is the remaining funds?

3. Are the costs of the projects not over bloated?

4. many civil servants retired in 2012, how come the wage bill of Osun State keeps sky rocketing despite non-recruitment?

5. What is the relationship between the beneficiary of the monopolisation of the school uniforms and the Governor?

arm4u:
PDP is very right.
Only kids and those who wait for monthly handouts will jubilate over the madness of Buhari and his CBN.

They are choking life out of international business.

Let me educate you folks.


We have a service which we procure from overseas,
we have a client in Nigeria who needs the service;

We pay our vendor in Dollars, so our client has to pays us in Dollars.

The business is transacted in dollars, We am not thieves.
We have nothing to do with oil let alone oil money.
We are not laundering any money for any body.

The policy has barred our client from paying using dollars.
Yet, We must pay our vendor in dollars.
Those of you who are haling it should explain to us how we can continue our business.

This archaic and myopic policy will simply snuff life out of our genuine efforts.

It is like banning cars because armed robbers use it to operate.

You can force Naira to improve in value, but you cannot force the economy to grow,


Well, am I surprised?
Didnt Buhari jail Fela for coming into Nigeria with Dollars he earned from handwork.

Do I blame Buhari?
Has he ventured into any business?
What does he know about money?
Did he not despise the business men when he visited the US?
Like somebody said, we have a celebrated illiterate as President.


Al I can say is, shame.

You must be an ignoramus that does not know a jack about what you are writing about.

If your client rendered a service to you in Nigeria or wherever and your obligation for payment is due, are you not meant to just fill Form A with relevant documents and such fund can be sourced through CBN at the official rate and transferred accordingly to such country.

Some jokers will come around to tell us that the ban is targeted at their trading business that is killing employment in Nigeria.

Diaris God ooooooo

SegunAdewole:
Oduarewanistan is our future! Oduarewanistan we want. Biafrans must go.

Omo y1bo Biafra is your lot.

Rubbish write up.

Please mention the biggest Dam that Jonathan built? The writer is talking of rice production all year round and the press is a washed with the Rice Importation Waiver Scandal? The same president ordered the Minister of Finance to withdraw USD1billion from national coffers to finance his campaign, which was clearly stated by the same Finance Minister. What an achievement by a dumbo daft Drunken Master of Otuoke and his sycophants.

The same Railways privatisation you are praising Jonathan for was started by OBJ. OBJ drew the master plan and paid the first instalment to the Chinese. The same PHCN reform started under OBJ with the turnaround of Kainji Dam, building of Afam V and VI, olorunsogo Power plants and other IPPs. They were only completed under jonathan and he commissioned them.

The Airport renovation he is celebrating clearly showed that the contractors did shoddy jobs. i do not know know whether Enugu International Airport is an Airport or Waterport? PH Airport is already leaking. Same as MMA1. Why on earth should we celebrate such criminality?

Even the blind knew Jonathan was worshiping corruption on his 2 kneels. Pension Scam Fraud, Stealer Oduahgate Scandal, Subsidy Mega-Fraud, oil theft and many wanton looting were the other of the day under the very nose of the supposed most powerful president in the world.

Yorubas work smart, rather than hard like jackal and we care less about any bastar.d. Anybody that is pained can jump inside the lagoon.

All those rubbish about American blacks are hogwash and utter bullshi.t. They should take full responsibility for their behaviour and actions. Likewise any other group mentioned in Nigeria in the write up. The same economic hardship facing a child in Abakaliki is the same that the one in Saki or Bodo or Ogoja or Kondunga and Kaura Namoda are all facing. Some just make it a point of duty to continually whine about it on a daily basis, while some take up the challenge silently and make something out of themselves despite the challenging, herculean and daunting situation.

sunnyb0b0:
Neither do I have anything in common with uncircumcised philistines like you.

How can I wail when my state and indeed my region is top on MDG achievement?

How can I be wailing when my region has the highest cut off mark for admission into Unity schools because of excellent performance

How can I wail when my region has the highest number of JAMB, WAEC and NECO registrants?

Why should I wail when my state has continually come out tops in WAEC and NECO year on year?

Why should I wail when my region has the highest number of candidates to gain admission into tertiary institutions?


Why, why, why should I wail?

that same God forsaken region has the highest number of Cain descendants wandering within every nook and cranny of Nigeria.

That says it all about the gully eroded region. Your cursed region contributes nothing apart from crime to this country.

sunnyb0b0:
Are we not wailing together?

you and whom?

the person wey im own don spoil, dey always look for crowd to join am!!!! We no follow join you for wailing.

We do not have anything in common. Whether during the time of my forefathers or now!!!

how has the burning of Nigerian Flag stopped Aba from being part of the Sovereign Nation of Federal Republic of Nigeria instead of the ''Jungle of Biafra''?

Which long shadow?

Maybe in the jungle of Biafra or the gully eroded land of the dawning sun sha!!!

seunmsg:
This thread will remain very relevant for the next 4 years. It will be used to shut the mouth of the group that usually play the marginalisation and victim card. What goes around comes around. Karma is indeed a biatch.

Please always bring back this thread at least every quarter for the next 4years.

Their Drunken Master of Otuoke started the marginalization method of presidency and it must continue under Buhari.

They will wail for the next 4years. Someone should advise them to calm down before they run out of tears by December 2015.

I run through the thread gave me a new sense of satisfaction for booting the daft Mandela of Otuoke out of power. I now realised while South Beasterners are more pained by the loss, more than Jonah-daft himself.

Former House of Representatives Committee Chairman on Power, Mr. Ndudi Elumelu
| credits: File copy


The crisis rocking the opposition party Peoples Democratic Party took a new turn on Friday as its workers further accused the members of the party’s National Working Committee of being “too corrupt.”

The angry workers also accused the NWC members of demanding N1bn bribe from the Governor of Kogi State, Idris Wada, before giving him the party’s governorship ticket.

Governorship election will hold in Kogi State in the last quarter of the year.

The workers also alleged further that the NWC members demanded and received N750m bribe from Mr. Ndudi Elumelu with a promise to give him the PDP governorship ticket in Delta State early in the year.

Our correspondent learnt that the money was returned to Elumelu after ex-President Goodluck Jonathan got wind of the incident.

These and other allegations were made at a press briefing organised by the workers at Wadata Plaza headquarters of the PDP in Abuja.

The PUNCH had, in two exclusive stories, revealed the plan by the NWC to sack 50 per cent of its workers and also cut the salaries of those to be retained by the same percentage. In response, the workers accused members of the NWC of squandering N12bn in nine months.

The money was said to have been realised from the sales of nomination forms during the contest for elective offices in the party in 2014.

The workers said this in their response to the letter sent to them by the party’s National Secretary, Prof. Wake Oladipo, on Wednesday.

Oladipo had, in the letter, informed the workers about the decision of the NWC to cut cost and that even those to be retained must also bring a letter of certification from their state chapters of the party before they could be absorbed.

Asking how a buoyant party with more than N12bn could become beggary in just nine months, the workers said all the members of the NWC, led by its Acting National Chairman, Mr. Uche Secondus, must either resign or be sacked.

They said the political fortunes of the party under the current leadership of the NWC had dwindled and that in order to save the party, Secondus and other NWC members must resign. The workers, who were led by their leaders, Ngozi Ezeh (chairman), and Dan Ochu-Baiye (secretary), said at the press conference that the members of the NWC were in a mission to kill the once buoyant and popular party.

Ochu-Baiye said, “It is no longer news that the political fortunes of the PDP have continued to dwindle since the coming on board of the present NWC in March 2012.

“The party under the current leadership of Secondus as Acting National Chairman and Prof. Wale Oladipo as National Secretary has been systematically and deliberately dismembered and it is being led to the morgue in preparation for its final burial.

“Never in the glorious history of our great party has its fortunes been so hopelessly mismanaged by an inept and dishonest group whose sworn mission is to permanently destroy and liquidate the lofty organisation that facilitate the current democratic dispensation.

“The current NWC members are only hanging on because of the obscene and bizarre bazaar which they have subjected the purse of the party to.”

The workers alleged that the many atrocities committed by the NWC members were responsible for the abysmal performance of the party during the last general elections.

They said, “We make bold to say that responsibility for the abysmal outing of the party should be located directly at the doorstep of the NWC members due to the following reasons: Criminal imposition of unpopular candidates and mind boggling extortion of aspirants.

“An example here is the yet to be resolved allegation by Ndudi Godwin Elumelu, who paid whopping N750m to the NWC to obtain the governorship ticket of the party in Delta State. There are many other victims.

“The same scenario is being played out in Kogi State while Bayelsa State is in the wings. In Kogi, it is widely alleged that the incumbent governor was requested to cough out the sum of N1bn to the same NWC to retain his ticket.”

The workers also accused the NWC of non-release of campaign funds to state chapters and embezzlement of proceeds of sales of nomination forms. They said there was no way any political party could undergo a high level of tortuous mismanagement and would still win elections.

The workers said the NWC members must tell members of the party why they compelled delegates to pay the sum of N10, 000 each into a private account of a company called Morufi Nigeria Limited.

“We are aware that over N1bn was realised from this fraudulent exercise,” they added, calling on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to arrest and investigate the NWC members for the alleged fraud.

They asked if it was the same PDP that was once led by Dr. Alex Ekwueme, Chief Solomon Lar, Chief Barnabas Gemade, Chief Audu Ogbeh and Dr. Amadu Ali.

“Is the party still as formidable as when it was led by Prince Vincent Eze Ogbulafor and the erudite Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo? Is it the same Party that was victoriously managed by Dr. Haliru Mohammed?” the workers asked.

They also accused the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, of engaging in anti-party activities.

They alleged that when Metuh lost in his ward and polling booth in the November 16, 2013 governorship election in Anambra State, he openly campaigned for and supported the candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance against the PDP.

“He again lost his ward and polling booth in the state Assembly elections of April 11, 2015,” the workers said.

But Metuh dismissed workers’ allegations and described them as baseless.

He said the PDP workers were being sponsored by the All Progressives Progress.

Metuh said, “Their (the workers) call is baseless, falsehood and contrived. They are only playing out the script they were handed by the opposition, the APC.

“Our party is aware of plots by the APC to infiltrate our members and create confusion within the party and that is what these aggrieved staffers are doing.

“How come it is now that the PDP has become a thorn in the flesh of the ruling APC and its government at the centre that these kind of internal protest are sprouting.

“The real issue is for the Director General of the Department of State Services, Lawal Daura, to resign and also for the acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Amina Zakari, to quit.”

The Kogi State Governor, Capt Idris Wada, told one of our correspondents that it was untrue that members of the NWC of the PDP demanded a bribe of N1bn from him so that they would facilitate or give him ticket as the party’s candidate for the forthcoming election in the state.

In a response by his spokesperson, Mr. Eddy Jacob, the governor advised those making such allegations to find a way to address their problem and stop dragging his name in their internal problem.

Jacob said, “The allegation is false. If the workers of PDP have issues, they should find a way of addressing them and should not drag the person of Capt Idris Wada into what is an internal crisis in the party.

“It is unconceivable that they will make such allegation against Wada. Wada is prepared to face the election and would not accept victory other than through voting process. So I do not know where they are coming from. I advise them not to drag Wada’s name into what I think is an internal party issue”

Elumelu, when contacted over the telephone, declined to comment on the issue, saying he would only entertain questions in a face-to-face discussion.

He said, “I usually don’t talk to the press on phone; I prefer face-to-face communication. I picked the call because I always give people respect by picking their calls.”
