Now I know Nigeria is sitting on a mighty keg of gun powder waiting to explode. Major Orkah and his gang were men who saw through tomorrow.

Afriifa:
If you think Nigerians are civilized enough to live together in one country then, you are damn wrong.

that's a prof talking, not just any prof but a former Vice Chancellor of a reputable University..

issues like this constitute the reason why Igbos want a separate republic. because this shithole of a country is of no use to them when one region usually show their imprudence with impunity.

my people from the south west aren't helping matters because they felt they are better of than those from the south east.

the middle beltans(benue) have learnt their lesson in a bitter way.

the Niger Deltans should step up and seek for their independence..
we are not slaves. we are not second class citizens.

if a prof would render such statements because of what he believes(knows) to be truth, what are you expecting from the common people in the region?

ask yourselves South-Westerners!
ask yourselves South-Easternes!
ask yourself Middle Beltans!
ask yourselves Niger Deltans!

is this the country our forefathers wanted us to live in?
if our forefathers made a mistake, why not correct it for our next generation when we still have the chance..

Afrifa Said So!!

PDP were lucky not to have made him their national chairman.

yns4real:
A former presidential aide from Adamawa State on Saturday officially decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party to the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).

Ahmed Gulak, who was political adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan, and later tried unsuccessfully to become PDP’s national chairman, said he was leading “42,000” people to the ruling APC.

He said they were “forced to leave PDP” by “impunity and lack of internal democracy”.
“Members of the PDP numbering 42,000 across the 21 local government areas including party executives have today wished to formally dump PDP and join APC officially.

‘’With this development, we formally bury PDP in Adamawa state,” he said.
“Though we are not like others, who kept decamping when their dreams and ambitions were not met.
“Constitutionally we have the right to leave and join any other party. Former President Obasanjo had earlier left PDP and tore his party membership card.

“So also former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; it could be recalled had first left PDP and joined AC that later metamorphosed to ACN. From ACN, Atiku returned back to PDP that he first left and before you know the former vice president again cross-carpeted to APC and now left to PDP again.

“So everyone has right to change if they feel disenchanted and we have made consultations with our people who asked us to move to APC.

He said the government’s “degrading of Boko Haram terrorists” was enough to justify the defection.
Salihu Mustapha, APC North-East chairman, said the decamping was a result of the good work of the APC administration.
“All federal roads have been awarded for rehabilitation while some have reached concluding state of bidding for awarding by federal government,” said he.

Reacting, the state PDP chairman of the party, Tahir Shehu, said their defection would be a big relief to the PDP, saying, “most of them were lured by Governor Jibrilla Bindow for juicy position while others have skeleton in their cupboards, and they were afraid of EFCC’s hammer.”

I know say the pass mark for south go different from north to balance the thing.

No fewer than 150 federal civil service deputy directors, who sat for promotion examinations, failed the test, it was learnt yesterday.
Head of Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita broke the news at a quarterly meeting with organised labour, conducted by her office in Abuja, on Wednesday.
Mrs. Oyo-Ita also announced that a court injunction on the promotion of the 2014 1 of directors in the administration cadre of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies has finally been lifted.
She said the lifting of the injunction would enable the civil service administrative positions, which were filled by officers in acting capacity, to be filled by substantive directors.

“I am particularly delighted to inform you that the issue of promotion for the 2014 batch of directors in the Administration Cadre has been finally resolved.
“The lifting of the court injunction on this issue also led to the conduct of examinations for 2015 – 2017 batch of directors in the same cadre.
“Over 290 Deputy Directors sat for the examination out of which only about 140 were successful. I am certain that going forward, the civil service will ventilate itself and officers will be rewarded for hard work.
“With this, we now have a solution to the issue of dearth of Directors of Administration in MDAs. Departments, which were hitherto manned by officers in acting capacity, would now be manned by substantive directors,” she said.
Mrs. Oyo-Ita also addressed the issues of service delivery and a conducive working environment for staff.
“The issue of a conducive working environment for staff that has been raised by organised labour is very dear to my heart.

“To achieve this, I have set up a committee on office allocation and expansion with a focus on maintenance, rehabilitation and expansion of office allocations to MDAs,” Mrs. Oyo-Ita said.

Dont be so sure of that. Bubu has the knife and yam. He is not a honest and gentleman like GEJ

I thought they said he is Mr. Integrity?

Thats why they didnt make him the AGF because he will extend the boundaries drawn for him. A anti corruption war that is moderated from higher quarters can never succeed.

@POLITICSNGR

Foremost Human rights lawyer, Chief Femi Falana has said that the fight against corruption in Nigeria is being sabotaged by officials appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.

Falana disclosed that the anti-corruption movement is being marred by the appointments of corrupt individuals in public offices.

He told Thisday;

"No doubt, the Buhari administration declared a war on corruption. But the regime is currently sabotaging the war through the questionable reinstatement of highly corrupt public officers. Apart from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, other anti-graft agencies have been tactically castrated by the Senate which has refused to confirm the members of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and Code of Conduct Bureau. The national assembly has also failed to pass the bills for the establishment of the Anti-Corruption Court, Whistle Blowing Bill, Proceed of Crime Bill etc.

The Buhari regime has not mobilized and involved the Nigerian pon. Hence the people have not joined issues with the legislators on the refusal to pass the necessary bills to fight corruption. By reinstating and retaining corrupt public officers the regime is encouraging corruption to fight back. The APC controls the majority of the members of the national assembly. Yet the assembly is dedicated to the frustration of the war against corruption.  Out of the 21 states controlled by the APC, only Kano state has an anti-corruption agency."

OfficialAwol:
Is there no way out?

My candid opinion is that we need to take steps to make the process credible. And one of the measures to take is to review the voter's register for Kano and other identified locations and do physical examination to screen out adolescents.

Mariangeles:
[s]You should be ashamed of yourself.
if you're going to quote me next time, at least act civilized...

The society don reset many people brain. Any little thing, they unleash their bitterness on you, using insulting words. The insult you receive on this forum tells you every where is charged and boys are no longer smiling.

middlebeltboy:
the midget fake pastor is on rampage these days

Thank God he even owned up that they could not deliver on their promises. Lai Mohammed said they made 3 promises to fight curruption, boko haram and improve the economy and that they have fulfilled all.

BiafraIShere:
I pity those shouting go and get your PVC up and down, buhari has already started rigging the election with kids, Chadians and Nigeriens. Even the INEC official is saying nonsense, if they could be allowed to get PVC is it the election proper when politicians are desperate that they wont be allowed to vote when they have their PVC with them? Who is fooling who in this sh!thole

This were the votes that made Buhari win the 2015 elections. Under aged voters.

sirequity:
https://www.headlineng.com/underage-persons-registered-inec/

Now this has been exposed and it has gone through all the processes without being corrected, what is INEC going to do now to correct the error to avoid bogous figures being declared again? We saw similar pictures during the 2015 elections. What is their plan to correct this before the next elections? Thats what we want to hear.

OfficialAwol:
Did what?

I'm happy PDP finally found its voice. And INEC should answer the salient point raise by PDP.

Who issued the minors with PVC?

Imagine the picture above. The INEC official sees that an adolescent is standing before him and still goes ahead to clear the almajeri to vote. It is obvious now where the two million votes that decided the 2015 elections from Kano came from.

I dont think Saraki is fulfiling any condition to be accepted by PDP. He is a big fish and will be accepted anyday. It could be his own way of getting back at the executive for all the assault on him using the CCB. But on the other hand, whats the fuse of the presidential election coming first or last if our people are honest to themselves?

LordAdam16:
Oga, it will be sent to Buhari. Of course Buhari wouldn't sign it. Then it would come back to the Senate and they'd veto it. The Executive and/or INEC may take the case to court, but the Judiciary will back the Senate.

This is prolly part of the preconditions Saraki et al have to do before PDP accepts them. Or it could just be Saraki et al making sure they secure their mandates regardless of what happens to Buhari. It's every man for himself.

-Lord

I will applaud them when they attack killer herdsmen with same precision.

PrettyCrystal:
Confirmed multiple reports have it that Augustin Agulegbu, the chief security officer (CSO) to late and dreaded serial killer Johnson Igwedibia fondly called Don Wanny - is dead. According to reports, Augustin was shot dead by officers of the department of Department of State Services (DSS) early hours of today.

The kidnap kingpin and mass murderer, Don Wanny was killed in his hideout in Enugu state earlier this year.

A combined team of troops of eighty-two Division Nigerian Army Enugu and personnel of DSS Rivers State Command raided the hideout to arrest him and his other accomplices. They attempted to escape through the back exit of the apartment and were shot down by the eagle eyed troops in the process.

The notorious gang of criminals murdered 23 peace loving citizens of Omoku in Rivers state when they were returning from Cross Over Service at about 1:30am on Monday 1st January 2018.

The CSO of Late Don Wanny who was amongst the 32 Cultists declared wanted by the State Security Council was killed following accurate DSS intelligence.

I dont see why an 18 seater bus will be fixed with a fairly used (belgium) tyre. These are the consequences.

Okanokan:
Tinubu will be demystified, humbled and retired after 2019 elections, he wont know what hit him. He's stretching his luck too far.

A leader does not know there is problem until he looks behind him and finds that all his followers are no where to be found. Tinubu has not looked back yet and so thinks all is well. In 2015, he joined forces with Buhari to save Nigeria from Jonathan. In 2019, he will join force with the same Buhari to save Nigeria from Buhari. I wonder what will be the campaign theme this time around but I know say na only mumu ashewo dem dey deceive 2 times.

aolawale025:
From all indications, even if he runs in 2019 buhari would be a reluctant candidate. APC can pressurise him to anoint another for 2019

I prefer a president who will preside like OBJ in terms of being in charge and not one that will allow an unelected cabal to take decisions on his behalf. Thats ruling by proxy. Yar Adua was in charge until he fell sick before the cabal took over. Baba is around yet a self centered cabal are runing the country to their own benefit.

No wonder they want to build a rail track to Niger. The Niger people are always welcome because of their electoral value to shore up votes.

ellalina:
I was in daura and I heard the story that buharis father was a heardsman from niger who came for greener pastures
Although he was very rich as he came with lots of cawul and his family
He was about the richest person in daura and this explains why our baba loves cows so much
Have you guys also wondered why there are so many foreigners in the north
Our borders are so porous that the guys sneak into Nigeria to avoid bribing the immigration with 1500
No lying visit the northwest and see for yourself
One they come in, they get voters card and BAM
They become Nigerians

Its getting close to when these herdsmen, whether killer or innocent will be chased from our various areas since the authorities seem not to be able to check their activities. If IPOB was behing this, I am sure the full weight of the armed forces would have been unleashed on them. In 2019, we will have a choice of stopping this or allowing it to continue.

This is no longer daily again, The increase of killing and butcering in Fulani Herdsmen is now every hour, Another woman from Urhobo has been macheted by them while she was farming this morning around 7.30am in ofunwengbe community, in ovia south west LG of Edo State

The elderly woman was with her daughter when her ear was also cut off..

According to the woman, the Fulani herdsmen entered her farm and met her working before she knew what was happening, the herdsmen were trying to rape her by pointing gun at her but for her determination and boldness, she was able to drag the gun from him.

During the process of dragging the gun, another one of them used her machete to butcher her and her child.
The child has since be taken to the specialist hospital in Benin.

In negotiating this, I am sure the terrorists must be millions of dollars richer to enable them buy more arms to fight back and the viscous circle continues.

@POLITICSNGR

Barely 48 hours after the release of three lecturers of University of Maiduguri and 10 police officers’ wives by the Boko Haram, President Muhammadu Buhari has summoned an emergency security meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting which started at about 11.00 a.m., is attended by all service chiefs and Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris.

It was observed that the Minister of Interior, retired Lt. Gen. Abdulrahma Dambazau and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, might brief the Council on some security related matters.

Some heads of para-military organisations under the ministry were also seen at the venue of the meeting.

PoliticsNGR gathered that the release of three lecturers of the University of Maiduguri and 10 police officers’ wife by the Boko Haram sect on Saturday might be part of matters to be discussed at the council.

It would be recalled that the Department of State Services (DSS) on Saturday briefed President Muhammadu Buhari on the negotiated release of the lecturers and police officers’ wives.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, who announced the release in a statement in Abuja, recalled that those released were abducted by suspected Boko Haram terrorists at  Magumeri in Borno.

He said their release followed series of negotiations as directed by President Buhari and was facilitated by the International Committee of the Red Cross.
