Lol it is only the Senate president who can declare his seat vacant. After INEC finishes their Abracadabra they will still come to the Senate. It is only when the Senate is satisfied that he can be recalled. Obasanjo in all his abracadabra could not get rid of Naaba.Make I hear word jare.

If the IGP or the COAS wants to lose their jobs they should send any of their men close to the Senate. You really don't understand how powerful the Senate as an institution is once there are united

You think GEJ didn't know what he was saying when he said Nigerians would consider him an emperor if he used 10% of his presidential powers?!

I pray you will get the kind of President you wish for one of these days. He would turn out a Machiavelli kind of person and maybe just then you would understand how powerful the President can be.

Talking about the IG or COAS losing their jobs, Magu has not lost his job as acting EFCC Chairman the last time I checked!

Ishilove:
Friedplantain? Your English is plenty

You're correct though. I don't know if it is hunger or lack of enlightenment causing this

Friedplantain is totally correct in his assertion that hunger isn't the cause. I will like to add that Africans just like freebies even when they can afford those stuffs. It explains why a senator collecting allowances and all manners of perks would still be enjoying retirement benefits as a former governor.

The second reason is just that Africans always prefer to be wicked either to animals or fellow men. Or is hunger responsible for the many lizards that are stoned to death daily by African children, just for fun?!

So there you have it, insatiable greed and embedded wickedness, are the reasons for these things.

PaChukwudi44:
The same way INEC ignored the court order is the same way the Senate will ignore INEC when there are through with their abracadabra. Dino will continue to sit tight in the Senate irrespective of what comes out of this illegal exercise

You guys overrate the Senate cum senators in our democracy.

Pray that the senators would ignore INEC if Melaye is recalled and let the elements in the national Assembly continue their macabre dance.

Should the executive arm decide to deploy the security agencies to enforce the outcome of the recall process I hope you will not cry foul.

The senators should allow the process to go on without prejudice to the rights of Melaye to approach the courts if he feels aggrieved.

Urging a state of anarchy would not do the lawmakers any good. The executive controls all security agencies.

Saraki and co should thank their stars that they aren't dealing a mean person like OBJ or Wike or Fayose. If those characters were the President the minority would become the majority and Saraki, Melaye and co would have been removed.

I think it's high time we butcher this entity called Nigeria already
or at least let the Igbo go
restructuring is only like delaying the inevitable since it seems that's what everybody wants

even as a Yoruba man, I think its better we split up already
let every man be for himself and let every region have 8ts fate in its hand

Methinks restructuring and choosing quality leadership devoid of ethnic colouration is the way to go.

By balkanizing the nation, no one gains anything. If care is not taken the criminal elements will emerge as leaders in the divided regions and the problems will persist.

There are subtribal cracks in each ethnic group that can be exploited by the thieving elites of each ethnic group.

I urge all the youths to shun name calling and I particularly call on Seun and other supermods to discourage people from using this platform for ethnic bashing.

I got some of my chess interest and ideas from Dapo Adu, way back in Abesan estate in Ipaja Lagos in late 80s and early 90s. Though, i was not really playing then but i was always behind my cousin and Dapo Adu playing chess. Dapo Adu later represented Nigeria at international competitions and for some of us who had passion for the game it was an opportunity for us to develop more interest for the game. Later, i started playing as amateur among my friends and the game really helped my conceptual skills and ability. The game is called GAME OF LIFE.
I wish i could have more time to play chess like i used to before, the last serious encounter i had with chess was when myself and team-mates at FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC ILARO Ogun state was to represent my school for the chess championship at NIPOGA at AUCHI POLYTECHNIC in the year 2003/04 NIPOGA GAMES, ever since,
i have not had any serious game with anyone due to many challenges of life as i grow up. I wish i could play with someone of like minds and not boastful players anyway.

Dapo Adu is a great chess mind. That left handed dude! Laughing out loud. Whenever he was winning a game in masters 1 then he would cough to attract people's attention to his board!

Can't just stop loving chess! Shout out to my chess pals Odion Aikhoje, Dapo Adu, Bayo Babalola, Bayo Adegboyega, Rotimi Dashaolu, Bunmi Olape, Rotimi Ajele.

Meanwhile, chess is under reported in Nigeria. For instance, how many people know that the first Olympic gold medal ever won by Nigeria was for Chess by Odion Aikhoje at the chess olympiad? Lots of people would recall Chioma Ajunwa but not Odion.

Nigerians do not celebrate anything that is cerebral! We would rather talk about mundane things!

Anybody up for a game of chess can pm me even though i've been away from competitive chess for eons I'm always willing and able.

Copy ruggedtimi, Jabioro, vicfuntop, Patheos, SmellingAnus

whitebeard:
I have seen badass chess players that are dull academically...!!

Perhaps such people paid more attention to their chess than academics. Chess can be addictive.

SycophanticGoat:
Exactly my point!!! If the puppet was standing on the side of the Christian devide he came from and if nothing, just condemned every massacre meted out to Christians, I'd have loved him more than anything in this world.

But the docile mofo just stayed playing dumb while blood flowed in the land. Even if he gets kicked out, I wont feel pity for him, one bit!

There is an adage that says "until a person has the sword in his hand it is worthless to ask for his father's murderer".

In the Bible Moses was planted in the household of King Pharaoh until it was time for his manifestation. What do you think would have happened to Moses if he had manifested before he was fully empowered?

Wisdom profiteth in all things.

For that applicant to get most of his spellings correct, has a good vocabulary. I think he's only fooling around using sentences. The graduate is not dumb but the question is why would He do such a thing?

What if he looked up the spellings of those words while he was writing the application! I have had the misfortune of dealing with some lousy applications and memos.

kingjabz:
That doesn't mean anything
It's just like having accounts in different banks

It means a whole lot. Emphasis is on "7 Fake Credit Cards".

Name the Governor or keep shut

But if they name the governor some people will call it media trial. I think the decision to name him and his cohorts in the court is fair enough.

lloyds:
Since Pastor Adeboye raised the prayer against kidnappers at June HL service, we have been seeing different arrests.
I believe it's God at work.

Are you people suggesting that, prior to this this time, Pastor Adeboye deliberately refused to raise prayer against kidnappers until the June HL service? Knowing fully well that, at his say so, all these kidnappers could have been caught earlier, one wonders why he didn't raise the prayer earlier considering the several lives and properties that have been lost to kidnappers.

In any case, we need to ask ourselves how many other things are going wrong because Pastor Adeoye have not raised prayers about them at the HL services.

You can't ascribe the good things that happen in Nigeria to the efficacy of Pa Adeboye's Prayers without linking the bad things that happen in Nigeria to "lack of efficacy" of his prayers or outright refusal to pray about those things.

ShitHead:
This is humanism at work...fuuckk church tithes and offerings. This's how we should sow our seeds, tithes and offerings. This is piratical Christianity.

My brother you have said it all. What is the point in living if you can't affect your society positively. At the end of it all, we would all be reduced to skulls and bones, so whatever we can do to help humanity let us do it while we are in flesh.

Luukasz:
Hey bro, most of em in the US are living a comfortable life

Some of those panhandlers or beggars in the U.S aren't living any comfortable life. U.S is not utopia and when the shit hits the fan and you can't pay your bills no friends and family to help u out.

Some Nigerians are stucked in several cities of the U.S and they wish they can come back home but they can't because of shame.

Kip kwiet. Hear from the other party first judge agbalowomeri

You can do with exhibiting some manners! What is it about the name calling? The anonymity that the internet provides shouldn't allow you to jettison the "omoluabi" values and ethos.

I am not in support of beating women. That said... Young ladies should learn to say NO without verbal assaults​.... You never know who you are dealing with.

The lady's tales doesn't add up... I suspect she verbally assaulted​ the poor guys and they lost it completely... I am always amazed at how ladies talk or act like this​ world is theirs just because some bloke asked them out...

There is no justification for this battery. If the lady in question verbally assaulted them they could have verbally assaulted her too supposing they wanted to be childish or they could have walked away if they were matured.

JeffreyJamez:
I have always said it that the problem of Nigeria is not unemployment but under employment. There are​ jobs but​ the pay is nothing to write home about. Most graduates go abroad to become either security guards or valets all because the pay is good. That's the difference between Africa and the western world. When you see them saying they have reduced employment by so so so percentage do you think its by office jobs?...hell No!!.. it's mostly menial jobs,but no one complains because the pay is very okay. The problem of Underemployment in Nigeria needs to be taken seriously.

Sadly the problem of unemployment and underemployment might not be taken care of soon for the following reason:

The youths that should be demanding for better governance are blinded already by ethnic and religious bigotry, as well as foolish sentiments premised on political affiliation. That is why you would read comments as foolish as "shey na only him loot?", "as long as you have not arrested all the thieves from the other parties/ tribes then you must not arrest the thieves from my party/ tribe.

Such asinine remarks explain why Nigeria is in this parlous condition.

donaldinho111:
lol....Buhari that a fan can blow off...

A dead GEJ is far precious than Buhari of 1984 & the present.. Baba recession

You are free to diss Buhari as much as you want and i will join you on that but how you guys continually defend GEJ (man who gave over 4 billion Naira to Attahiru Bafarawa for spiritual cleansing) is disheartening.

ephi123:
This is really sad. So some brainwashing is involved, else they would find a way to escape rather than blow themselves to bits.
Why are these so-called trainers not volunteering themselves?



What a horror! And these girls are fellow Nigerians. We live in a really crap country. This is no country.

Not just brainwashing, they equally subject the poor souls to drug abuse to turn them into robots.

hotspec:
Why haven't they arrest d grass-cutter yet? EFCC is fast becoming like d OBJ era- silencing d oppositions

Let them silence all oppositions as long as those silenced are guilty of the crimes they are accused of.

As for those shouting Amechi, Tinubu & co., those ones can be investigated & prosecuted by another government, if the current one refuses to act.

All public looters, whether APC, PDP or any other party, will not know peace.

That is why we have to be careful in explaining the scripture

I completely agree with your submissions and that is why i copied u.

Jacksonville:
Nigerians! Don't be too quick to cast your stones. Some hidden truths are known only through revelation. Take it or leave it.

It's normal ponder on this, as it isn't written where David's mum was a "harlot", but this is coming from a man of revelations. Some truths are revealed to those whom God trusts. It's left for the receiver to tell the world or not.

Revelation 22:18
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book"

With the verse above God had foreclosed the permission to add to the scriptures by any so called Apostle, Pastor, Evangelist or 'man of revelations'. The punishment for such crime is expressly stated in the quoted verse.

kingsouthie:
What about that mutallab guyhe is very much educated, exposed and financially bouyant..its more about false belief than mere drugs

You will recall that Mutallab himself couldn't bring himself to detonate the explosive before his pant caught fire. You have the elites and ground soldiers among them. To brainwash and turn the foot soldiers to zombies their elites deploy use of drugs and dehumanization as weapons of control.

Christians have been kidnapped and transformed into suicide bombers by these criminals.

If it was about beliefs alone Shekau should have engaged in suicide bombing to go and claim his 70 virgins.

Mologi:
very graphic.....



but how convincing could their sponsors have been to make them feel happy killing others.

What a wicked set of people!

Under the influence of drugs those girls would do anything.

Their abductors would most likely have exposed them to drugs as well as dehumanize them to the point where life/living itself means nothing to those girls.

positivetaught:
sec 171(1) refer to by osinbanjo clearly states the offices it affects, Efcc a creation of an act of the national Assembly not included, the senators r right.let's not be unnecessarily biased.

It is section 171(2) that lists the offices which the Act affects as follows:

(2) The offices to which this section applies are, namely ¬

(a) Secretary to the Government of the Federation;

(b) Head of the Civil Service of the Federation;

(c) Ambassador, High Commissioner or other Principal Representative of Nigeria abroad;

(d) Permanent Secretary in any Ministry or Head of any Extra-Ministerial Department of the Government of the Federation howsoever designated; and

(e) any office on the personal staff of the President.

In a court of law, a lawyer who knows his onions will argue that the EFCC Chairman is covered by 2d as highlighted.

Saharareporters are full of bullshıııt
Even if her story is true she was not raped,she and her gang (SR) are cheap blackmailers.

If the Apostle slept with her then it behoves on him to come clean and accept responsibility and I tell u this story will end.

Pastor Wale Oke once had a similar issue but he owned up and people quickly moved on. Men of God are human and sometimes err; the refusal for some MOG to accept their fallibility and human nature does not bode well.

This is not about Sahara Reporters and it is not about whether Otobo was raped or not.

Agimor:
Thanks to the proximity between Lagos and Ogun....

kudos to Amosun on the development of physical infrastructures especially roads. The proximity of Ogun State to Lagos State didn't just happen today. Why didn't OGD take advantage of same.

Let us appreciate when deserved and give knocks when necessary too.

NubiLove:
These people just have hate for Nigerians.

They don't just hate Nigerians they have their reasons. Usually these attacks are borne out of misdirected aggresion.

Many Nigerians are giving us bad names out there. They make money in many criminal ways and they still flaunt their ill gotten wealth in the faces of their hosts.

Shout out to all those making us proud legitimately.

dragonking3:
People are being locked up for spreading defamation news against politicians. Do you know that El rufai locked up a famous person for spreading falsehood about kaduna killings? Am sure you don't know ,so now you know. Defamation of character is a criminal offence

Defamation of character is not a criminal offence, it is a civil offence (kindly consult a lawyer, if in doubt).

Audu Maikori's case, which you referred to, is not applicable here for 3 reasons:

1. Audu was arrested for attempting to cause violence and public disorder. His arrest had nothing to do with defaming El Rufai.

2. The legal remedy available for defamation or libel is to sue for damages.

3. Christ called believers to a higher standard of perseverance and faith. "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers".

What this means is that the standard of unbelievers should not be the standard for christians, most especially, a man of God.

Surely, the hand of God is not too short to deliver.

In this light, I appreciate Pastor Adeboye's and some MOG's approach to issues of this nature.

IamAirforce1:
She got what she deserved.

All you peeps who derive joy in tarnishing people's image, may such fate befall you guys.

People told a lot of lies against OBJ, GEJ.

A lot of people are equally spreading falsehoods against PMB on a daily basis.

If these leaders had locked people up, how many nairalanders would have remained free.

bkool7:
I never thought i will see when people will be begging a PASTOR to forgive

What if a church member ask this pastor for advice on someone that has wronged her, is this the kind of advice he will give ?

It is so sad that even some christians would support any conduct of any MOG regardless of whether that conduct has biblical basis or not.

Jesus was accused of casting out demons with the power of beelzebub (another evil spirit) but he never got anybody arrested.

Some MOG will hide behind apostolic cover and accuse people of being witches and wizards and they are never sued for libel and defamation!

One even attempted to slap "witchcraft" out of a poor little girl while the congregation cheered him on. Yet nobody sued him for battery and assault!

It is really pathetic.

Weyrey omo, that's the useless daughter of never do well special adviser on political matters to Osinbajo. If he can't advise his daughter, what Good advise can he he do to the No 2 citizen of the nation. Bunch of money eaters. Figure head political office holders

That language is uncouth. Has Ojudu or his daughter done anything, either in private or public capacity, to warrant such attack? The man paid his dues as a professional journalist and his appointment is a recognition of his hardwork.
When the world would honour and recognize your hardwork and talent, may one idiotic cretin not refer to your daughter as "weyrey omo".
