Saraki will postpone Amechi's screening to November 10 due to the fact that the Senate committee has not submitted the report on Amechi.

We are watching!

Olukat:
Pls read again!
He made the list of influential Islamic men
These are men that can order you to carry a pack of explosive
You don't find refined/noble people on such jihad list

God bless you!

Oladimejjy:
Buhari make the list of the influential men....




oya Wailers over to you....

How positively influential do you think he is? What value has he added to the North, not to talk of the Country? Even as President, he has been a public eyesore. He must be very influential in the Muslim world, though, and you should be able to use your tongue to count your teeth and know why!

TonyeBarcanista:
Let me start this piece by stating that the arrest and ongoing investigation of Mrs Alison Diezani Madueke by the United Kingdom Crime Agency is a welcome development. I shall continue to support public officers to answer to any allegation against them irrespective of political affiliation, religion or ethnic group. This article however is meant to clear the air on who is to take credit before supporters of president Buhari and APC accord the glory to Buhari.

UK Crime Agency Should Take Credit For Alison's Arrest:
The arrest of Allison was done by the UK Crime Agency acting on their own investigation, which only God know when they started. The EFCC never demanded for Alison's arrest, it was 100% UK initiative. In fact, the UK Crime Agency had to confirm that they started investigating Diezani since 2013 when Buhari was still in opposition http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/190970-we-started-investigating-alison-madueke-since-2013-uk-national-crime-agency.html

Why It Is Wrong To Credit Buhari:
The arrest of Madueke is not the first to be done by the UK government. Recall on September 16, 2005 the UK Police arrested then Governor Diepreye Alamesiegha for money laundry www.news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4253362.stm. The glory of that arrests that eventually led to his impeachment and imprisonment went to the UK and not Obasanjo's administration. The glory that went to Obasanjo was that it was his government that prosecuted him after he fled the UK- though he(Alams) was rather given a slap on the wrist. He still wanted in the UK

In May 2010, UAE authorities arrested James Ibori on the request of British Authorities after he had fled Nigeria due to being on the wanted list of the UK (2007) and Nigeria/EFCC (2010). Nevertheless, the credit went to the british authoritÍes and not President Goodluck Jonathan who had earlier ordered EFCC and Onovo-led police to arrest him. www.news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8680569.stm

Buhari Is Not Sincere With Anti-corruption
Since coming to power Buhari has been making probe rhetoric and has never shown the will. In fact, he has been drinking and eating with alleged corrupt officials like Amaechi, Atiku, Tinubu etc. Obasanjo in his letter once dared Atiku Abubakar to travel to the USA and see if he won't be arrested. Buhari is also yet to take action over the alleged corruption of Fashola as highlighted by Governor Ambode. In fact, the only case that's on the prosecution line is that of Saraki, which we all know was precipitated by political disagreement and not really because Buhari want to fight corruption. Buhari withdrew the EFCC's N2,8billion case against Sylva and even gifted him ticket for Bayelsa governorship election. In fact, Sylva was with Buhari during the Oct 1st celebration. Another is the case of Abubakar Audu, a right-hand man of Buhari since his ANPP days who despite his corruption case was gifted the ticket for Kogi governorship poll.

I make bold to state that the british would have arrested Diezani irrespective of who is in power. It is a shame that our so-called government cannot do things themselves but rely on the UK lead. Unfortunately, the properties and monies that will be seized will be added to the treasury of the Brits and their allies.

Finally, if Buhari want to fight corruption, he should start from home and we all shall support him. There are lots of ex-Govs, Senators and other public officials that has lots of indictment and cases to answer. He can't take the glory of another country! For now, he is yet to prove his hype.



May God Bless Us All

How come the UK government is always arresting southerners? Is there no Northern or Western public officer who ever gets involved in money laundering? I have never been fond of the UK. They have always wanted to use the less educated North to suppress the South and they will fail.

HungerBAD:
In as much as I want Wike out.

The DSS should also follow the rule of law, and bring a valid warrant of arrest. This is not a Military Junta anymore.

The rule of law should be respected.

The President is still operating as a dictator. And that's sad and bad. They arrest an opponent outside the country and sealed of her residence, after searching it in her absence. That's autocratic. They have left substance and started chasing shadows. And that won't cover up their ineptitude.

The Presidency should have acquired the complete schedule before traveling. They were sloppy and Prof should not pay for their sins.

seunmsg:
Ambassador Joy Ogwu as Nigeria's permanent representative to the UN is saddled with the responsibility of preparing the presidents meeting schedules and itinerary during the general assembly. If it is true that she deliberately refused to include the boko haram response event in the presidents schedule, then she should not just be blamed, she should be sanctioned or removed.

He said ministers are noise makers. So why is he appointing noise makers?

I am sure the delay was because he is constitutionally bound to appoint a minister from every state, not only the North. Maybe he doesn't like the idea.

omenka:
Just imagine this criminal presiding over the affairs of the nation's second strongest institution!! And just to "spite" the ruling party (as the Chief Wailer once confessed was the reason behind his support for the man's bid for senate presidency), PDP supporters would see nothing wrong with the criminal and call this a "witch-hunt".

This man ought to be cooling his heels off in some dingy cell in Kirikiri.

What about the one presiding over the executive? If we want to fight corruption, let's not witch - hunt, come to equity with clean hands. This is a shameless fight against Saraki because it is very obvious even to the stupid that they are fighting him for occupying a position they don't want him to occupy.
In the end, Nigeria is bigger than them all.

Billygee2u:
he is the man to emulate,
may God raise another revivalist like prophet Joseph Ayodele

Are you so blind you cannot see them all around you, doing greater works! The glory of the later will always surpass the former.

This order is best for the North East.

freecocoa:
Seriously though, the day people start using their brains instead of listening to fraudsters masquareding as agents of the illusion called God, only then will their lives be less complicated.

The fool says in his heart that there is no God.

I'm beginning to think the story about his smoking hard substances is true. What's the problem with Emeka Ike?

The corrupt cannot honestly fight corruption. Corruption is not only looting. Accepting loots is also corruption. Falsifying documents to gain personal benefits is also corruption. So Mr President's hands are tied.

The President appointing someone that has been working with him is the height of nepotism and insensitivity. We pray the president succeeds but he should stop acting like a bigot.

This appointment is akin to appointing Buhari to run Nigeria at this age and time. He is overwhelmed.

RapLawd:
Tell that to goons that have never to the northern part of the federation!

That's what I thought as well and that made me recommend a Northerner for one business deal. Money was wired to him and he embezzled it.

BMedia:
The North is over 70% of Nigeria's land mass, over 60% of the population, and has the highest number of states. What's the complaint.

You forgot to state that the North is the most educationally backward. Also the land mass does not translate to higher population unless you are counting the cows and goats, as well as those from Niger and Sudan, etc.

PassingShot:
China, USA and other major powers are experiencing this same issue.

This is partly what GEJ bestowed on us. It will get better by the passage of time.

You didn't disappoint Happines87. Wow!

Rubbish!

Is It PDP that said Fashola should drill two boreholes with N139m? Etc!

The truth is that God is a God of Justice. Buhari is making so much noise deceiving the gullible but what he failed to realize is that information against him and his sponsors will not be hidden forever. Dirt about him and his cohorts will soon become undeniable.

My advice: fight corruption totally but don't exclude yourself and your cronies, because you can't. God is watching!

This man is there to govern not to fight Jonathan.

brainpulse:
Not almost, grounded

The same sheriff that grounded this country years ago. Remember?

Without the collective responsibility of all Nigerians, you'd still come out here and say the same things about APC. Corruption and bad leadership will not continue if the people change first! The state of the nation is caused by wickedness of the people, from where the leaders emerge. Every leader was once among the people!

natureblack:
"A presidency source said...."

"A source said....."

"a report said ....."

"a reliable source who asked to remain anonymous said...."


A lot of sources saying a lot of things lately.

Maybe it was the source that told them reptiles are moving freely in the compound. Very funny.

One thing Nigerians should know is that this is Government property: so one VP comes and goes and another will take His place and start occupying the building. So it's not a bad idea.

Did he say the same thing to OBJ?

Mr President and his handlers should stop playing to the gallery and get to work. Nigerians are being deceived to think work is on going. Is corruption all we are going to be hearing about for 4 years?

Why this interest in Jonathan and his administration?

This man is fast becoming a nuisance.

IzonOwei:
The early church would preach contentment, and separation of the church from the worlds politics and madness, but todays church would preach prosperity and the acquiring of material wealth as an evidence of being a servant of God, and also getting immersed in the worlds politics thereby bringing reproach on The name of God and His Son...

Ignorant post! Was Nairaland created from heaven? Why are you here?

Thank God you are only dreaming. And besides, it is hard for anyone or government to kick against the pricks. Go and read the history of the church: it is the most powerful organization in the whole world, more power than any known government and the UN.
If you don't know who you're dealing with, ask Saul of Tarsus!

kpez:
Same thoughts here bro except as president, I'll make all religious affairs government matter! That is all tithes and offerings in all religious sects payable to government! And all pastors and imams etc occupying government offices and getting salaries like other civil servants and all yearly audits carried out as at when due. It will bring a lot of sanity into the system as people will truly worship God! I the days of old as seen in the Bible, governments controlled religion so where and when did these thieves break free?

Adekdammy:
Some of my observations about the EARLY CHURCH and the MODERN CHURCH

The EARLY CHURCH, men saw their life styles and called them CHRISTIANS but the MODERN CHURCH perhaps through our carrying of bible men will assume we are CHRISTIANS because there is no correlation between our lives and the Christian faith.

THE EARLY CHURCH according to the scriptures shared everything they had in common but THE MODERN CHURCH it's all about to your tent o ye Israel

THE EARLY CHURCH appoints men who are full of faith and Holy spirit into position of authority but the MODERN CHURCH appoints men who are full of cash and influence into position of authority.

THE EARLY CHURCH message is all about reconciling men back to God via the gospel of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ while the MODERN CHURCH message is all about come to my church.

The EARLY CHURCH influenced the world but this days, THE MODERN CHURCH is being influenced by the world.

We pray this day that the Lord will rekindle the fire and revival as of old in the church of today so that the church will be a guide to the nations again in Jesus name, amen.

Have a blessed day in His presence. Maranatha...He cometh soon.

You are so wrong!

If you read read your bible very well you would know that it is the Lord that is building His church. And I know He is doing a very good job. But you, by your post, think He is not doing a good job, and that He left the church today worse than the early church.
If you also study your bible very well, you would know that the glory of the later house is far better than that of the former. Besides, the path of the righteous is as a shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. In other words, the church is better and more effective today than it was back then. The church will be better next year than it is today. That's how it works. Why? Becaue the Lord who builds His church neither slumbers nor sleeps.

Stop looking at the wrong thing. If God was looking at the sin of the world He wouldn't have sent the Lord Jesus to save the world. So when you look at the church, look with the eyes of the Spirit.

The early church shared what they had in common, but that was not a commandment. When the Apostle Paul came on the scene, the church had grown spiritually and numerically, so they were no longer doing that. The Apostle Paul took the work of the ministry to another level and to distant lands outside Israel. So the church had grown beyond 120, and so couldn't be sharing things in common. They now had churches here and there, and were not even meeting at the same place.

Don't find yourself saying that church is worldly, and worse than the early church. That's not the way the spiritually minded talk. Do I mean there are no challenges in the church? A thousand times no. But we share the word with those who are facing challenges to their walk with the Lord and pray for them, adding that which every joint should supply, and thereby cause growth and development in His body. Don't join the devil and spread evil words about the church.

God bless you.

JeffreyJamez:
How many billionaires have gone to pray on the mountain?

And how many of those billionaires are citizens of Heaven?

No uninvolved person can make such claims. Even America or the UN cannot make such claims.

So go ahead and meet with them to shield their swords until you're gone. But just know that God will punish evil and wicked workers.

Buharifan:
A man loved by his people and neighbours, but hated by the TANoids, just like the two posters above me.

You must be kidding!

http://www.travelstart.com.ng/blog/10-reasons-why-lagos-is-better-than-abuja/

You may need to review this post. Lagos has affordable and expensive locations and Abuja also has expensive and cheap locations. Besides, Abuja transportation is far cheaper than Lagos. And abuja also has several alternative means of transportation. Etc.
Abuja is far far better than Lagos. I've lived in both cities and I prefer Abuja.

tintingz:
Very true and well said OP.

Lagos is the heartbeat of Nigeria.

You wanna entertain yourself come Lagos and see shows for yourself.

From the conductors to the agberos to the market women, shout out to our igbo brothers in alaba market and our Hausa brothers in mile 12.

It's only in Lagos our southern neighbors are claiming the land, the no man's land.

Lagos belongs to the Yorubas(the trademarks is everywhere) and to Nigerians, no man's land ko no man's yansh ni, make una g
Abuja go claim the land.

Village man!

dustmalik:
This doesn't stop the ongoing investigation over forgery.

As well as Buhari.
Maybe that's why he is delaying the appointment of key officials. They want to install puppets in the national assembly so they can have a free ride.
