Until ABU denies the statement of result sowore is in hot soup.This might be the end of Sahara reporters

My brother there is no way Sahara Reporters can be in soup on this case.

A classic defence against libel is that "a man who lacks integrity can not claim that his integrity or character was maligned". In other words, what you don't have can not be taken away from you.

If we assume without conceding that Dino graduated from ABU his claim that he had 7 degrees including those from London School of Economics and Harvard has damaged his position, legally speaking, since the 2 institutions have denied his assertion.

blackboy:
This matter no be blame on Saraki. I pay my boy to buy rice from Shoprite. He tells me it's 20k. I give him 20k if he goes to a local dealer negotiates 15k how is it my fault that the 20k rice was bout for 15k.

It's the clearing agent that messed up with the connivance of the customs at the Lagos port. Saraki is too big to be handling duty and transporting by himself.

u can't absolve Saraki of complicity in this saga.

The lack of payment of duty on the vehicle was brought to his attention but rather than ensure that duty was paid he wrote, by proxy, to the Customs requesting the release of the vehicle. That attempt exposed Saraki as one who wanted to circumvent the laws of the land.

Firefire:
Imagine the 'progrethieves' paraded as APC CHANGE agents?

If all this certificate forgery scandal is true, we can then conclude that... APC is a party of professional fraudsters and career rogues...

From their president who up till today has refused to produce his WASSC certificate to many fraudulent elements with certificate forgery in the party. How can they (known forgers) move Nigeria forward with their fish brains?

Can't you comment on issues without this PDP vs APC taint? Salisu Buhari and Stella Oduah had their scandals too.

When the two knights are still on the board.. omo wahala dey..

2 bishops with some pawns versus 2 knights with same number of pawns is a classical winning endgame for d 2 bishops.

Jabioro:
Tsunamis winds would blow opened many cans of worm.. the game of chess had just started. Let me see the best knight user.. the two queens has been cancelled ...

Don't you think Bishops will be deadlier in this open position. Knights are most suitable in closed positions.

neoclassical:
3rd or 2.1 apart, so in your thinking a 3rd Class holder should be selected ahead of a Masters degree holder ?

1. Was Msc the basic requirement for the job ?

2. Did the job advert state preference for candidates with 1st class or 2.1?

3. Was it stated in the job advert that the minimum grade of pass had to be 2.1?

If your answers to questions 1-3 above are all negatives then there isn't anything strange in your friend's selection.

tomakint:
You can't have a highly corrupt personality as Saraki heading the Senate and you expect corruption to die. One needs no soothsayer to educate you that the fight against corruption in the political turf of Naija is one tall dream. Magu should operate as Acting Chairman of EFCC to fish out these scoundrels.

It behoves on the President to send his nominees for confirmation as soon as possible to preempt this kind of games from the scoundrels in the National Assembly. If Magu had been confirmed before he showed his hand we would have been saved this drama.

Lexyteejay:
This of course is working in Lagos State. It would be great if same can be implemented nationwide 'cos this same set of pests are indeed a menace to the Ogun state prospective land owners.

Similar laws are already in force in Ogun and Oyo states.

TinaAnita:
And what stopped her from speaking up before Otobo came with her surprise package? Nawa o!

It usually takes one courageous lady to expose the sexual indiscretion of a highly influential man. That usually emboldens other victims whose experience might even predate that of the whistleblower.

Recall the cases of Bill Clinton, Donald Trump of the pu.ss.y grabbing fame, Biodun Fatoyinbo and co.

wayne4loan:
Under massive looting this same economy was the best in africa .... Who is fooling who?

Biggest economy on paper! The facts which we can't wish away are:

1. For the last 9 months of GEJ, FG borrowed to pay civil servants' salaries as revealed by NOI, the finance minister as she then was.

2. Under GEJ, most states became insolvent, to the extent that most states could not pay staff salaries.

In the face of this indubitable facts, i ask, who did "being the largest economy in africa" epp?

azimibraun:
Nigerians won't appreciate any pretentious protest from a group of selfish artists No more easy dollar exchange rate to fly about and no more politicians throwing money about inviting you guys for private shows N1m for just 30mins and you guys are protesting. S of B.... Shoot your videos in Nigeria, put your kids in naija schools and tell your white in-laws and babe abroad you want to stay back for a while and rebuild your country.

God bless you my brother.

I like 2face for his lyrical exploits but he is least qualified to convene this kind of protest for the following reasons:

1. In 2013 Godswill Akpabio, as Governor of Akwa Ibom, reportedly gave 2 brand new Prado SUVs to 2face and Annie, as wedding gifts.

2. Same Godswill Akpabio, reportedly sponsored 29 delegates to Dubai for 2face's wedding in a sheer display of financial indiscretion, profligacy and squandering of state resources.

3. David Mark, the Senate President as he then was, reportedly gave 2face a brand new Ferrari estimated at N47 million Naira then (as wedding gift).

2face and his ilk did not consider it necessary to protest the unnecessary profligacy and bad governance back then!

I will rather a protest against bad governance is convened by seun, kitatita, modath, firefire, sarrki or tonyebarcanista!

TonyeBarcanista:
Only those that understand the sacredness of life deserve to live.

Your post yesterday was spot on.

While i was about commenting on that post i changed my mind as the quality of thoughts expressed on the subject became appalling.

Several people, who had shared political ideologies and camp called you names because you spoke your mind!

What is wrong in the President going on leave which he is entitled to?

Is it not laudable that the President transmitted powers to the VP (Now the Acting President) via a letter written to the National Assembly? You may recall that the Yaruadua's debacle arose because he didn't transmit Presidential powers officially to GEJ and he did not communicate to the National Assembly that he was proceeding on leave thereby creating a vacuum in the office of the President.

In the current instance we should resist the temptation of being used by politicians to heat up the polity.

The 10 days of the President's leave have not lapsed and until then Osinbajo remains the President of FRN.

It would not hurt us to wait for 10 days.

Dubby6:
Money talks mehn

if premium times made a mistake it was good that they retracted the article.

Besides, premium times is not known to easily retract statements made by the news outlet. The case of Buratai (COAS) readily comes to mind.

For them to have retracted their earlier statement, they must have been convinced beyond doubt that Ajimobi's daughter is not the owner of that IG handle.

JeffreyJamez:
If someone as seemingly educated as you are is involved in a scheme like this then I need to speed up my Visa processing because there is truly no hope for Nigeria.

Good luck with your PH and GH

My brother, the future of this country is bleak.

Nigerians complain about unfavourable forex which is depended on the value of our imports and exports yet we are importing everything from toothpicks to ponzi schemes.

How has mmm increased our GDP?

How many employments has mmm created?

What are the value addition opportunities that mmm offers our economy?

It is understable if the speech credited to the bishop was made by an ethnic champion. A man of God ought to be more circumspect for "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal..."

seun, lalasticlala please help move this to front page for the necessary attention.

Good day Nairalanders. This morning my wife's personal car was impounded by VIO while she was being driven from a meeting by a family member. A ticket of #20,000 was issued because the family member who drove the vehicle didn't have LASDRI.

I had thought the issue of LASDRI is restricted to commercial vehicles and professional drivers. I sincerely need to hear from people with sufficient knowledge on the working of this LASDRI before I decide on the next line of action.

The mods can help to push this to the front page for wider coverage and feedback. I believe a lot of people can learn from this incidence.

TonyeBarcanista:
Ogas, nobody owe Jonathan or the South any apology for 2015. Politics was played and a particular people won, while others lost. Losers must move on and plan for next election while winners must be prepared to face the next battle.


PDP vs APC in 2015 has nothing to do with north vs south. Both are pan-Nigeria parties.

TonyeBarcanista, this is about the best post of yours that I have read. People often forget that we can disagree to agree. On both sides of the divide, people exercised their inalienable rights to vote for candidates of their choice in the last elections, I wonder why some people feel that everybody should have voted for their candidate(s).

Have they forgotten that those who didn't vote for their candidates today may vote for their candidate(s) tomorrow.

x240:
Maybe you need to scroll back up and read the article again.

Oil companies world over are cutting employees. Canada, Norway, UK and Russian owned Oil companies are streamlining staff strength to weather the low oil prices. Is it a Nigeria problem alone? Is Buhari the one governing UK. Or is he the president of the US where in Alberta alone over 40,000 jobs have been lost since 2014 due to oil.

You lots here can't reason and that's the bane of the country. Basic economics tells you that some jobs are not forever and come with high risks and your current employability depends on current prices of that commodity your employer deals in. It's not rocket science.

Yeah, the economy may not be fairing better but what does a logical person do? What's the principles of a good problem solver? They ask for the real problems and try and find solutions to it.


Why is Nigeria always at risk when the price of oil goes drastically down? Same thing happened 2007 to 2009 when oil price traded around 35 to 50 before shooting up back.

I shouldn't waste my time because a lot of you are lost causes .


$2300 is now 1 million naira. That's awesome news for some people. But wait what do you see there gloom. It's a matter of perspective. A smart person is always positioning himself for the good benefits....It is a fact many Nigerians are shallow.

China is daily devaluing their currencies to boost trade, tourism and so on but the almighty lazy Nigerians want theirs to always be overvalued so they can keep importing rubbish. Sit in front of their tokunbo tvs, eat made in thailand rice, wear chinko watches, plait brazilian hair and idle away doing nothing.

Fantastic perspective about the devalued Naira. My brother, some people are making tons of money right now. While some people are seeing the cup as being half empty some people are seeing are seeing it as half filled!

freshvine:
She wickedly suck the guy of his finances, now you still want the girl to use a friend to her supposed boyfriend to get him into jail?

Answer me, when was the right time for her to release the punny?

Did the devil appoint her to terminate the guy's destiny?

I only expressed the position of the law and not my opinion.

Did the girl steal from him? She didnt commit any crime if the rapist freely, of his accord, gave her material gifts. Let us even assume the worst case scenario; if the girl stole from the rapist he ought to have reported to law enforcement officers and not resort to self help.

missjahiniekpe:
Maybe you raped the girl and brought it here for your fellow rapist to justify your actions, how can you watch a girl beg for that long and not intervene? What if you were brought to the scene to remedy the situation?

Actually, on a scale of 100%, the OP is 90% likely to be the rapist. However, assuming without conceding the fact that the OP is not the rapist, he is at least a potential rapist for objectifying women. He betrayed himself by saying that he had money and could get any woman in bed; such mentality is what brings out the bestialty in rapists when they are refused sex after flaunting their wealth.

Sorry OP, not all women will get laid with your cash.

Beamborla:
From his original post, he did not commit any crime against the law but he has committed a great crime against humanity. He didn't aid nor abet the act, he actually turned his face.

My opinion, though. What I understand

Unfortunately, your opinion is at variance with the law. The OP, like every other citizen, is duty bound to report any criminality that he is aware of.

Unfortunately, the OP's friend is a felon and the OP is a potential accessory after the fact for the following reasons:

1. He promised to wade into the matter by advising his friend (the rapist) to compensate the victim monetary with the intention of helping his friend to escape prosecution.

2. He is justifying the rape action of his friend by saying that the rape was a direct consequence of the lady accepting material gifts from his friend, the rapist.

3. He was present before the rape occurred and did nothing to prevent the criminal act.

These are enough grounds for the OP to be put behind bars.

JoeCutie:
You deserve some respect, first, because you showed (me) respect in your response.

Second, the point you made is as cool as the way you made it.

#RESPECT.

Double respect to you my brother. We all should keep holding our leaders to the highest possible standards.

#MAXIMUM RESPECT.

JoeCutie:
Have you noticed anything strangely sweet and peculiar with all these fights in the NASS?
Senate: Saraki Vs Buhari = APC vs APC
Senate: Dino Melaye Vs Tinubu = APC vs APC
Reps: Dogara Vs Jibrin = APC vs APC.
Their house is on fire!!! Their own case go worse pass that of Babylon. It's gon be so apocalyptic!

Yakubu Dogara, you had better go and die your die...in peace, before this Jibrin-force will die you...in pieces.

Nigerian politicians...walking corpses. Ndi nwuru anwu na-aga ije

The reason why PDP was voted out of power is because Nigerians were not impressed by the way PDP treated every issue, including criminal infractions, as family affair.

It is to the credit of APC, that the party allows members to slug it out in a self cleansing process.

The APC as a party has many shortcomings but a lot of Nigerians would rather this party than one that covers up the sins of its members by "rebasing" (pun intended) issues of national importance as family affairs.

dre11 kindly update the topic of your post the former female minister's identity is not shrouded in secrecy anymore. Sahara reporters have identified the person in question to be Stella Oduah.

TonyeBarcanista:
Just yesterday(30/06/2016), it was reported that a certain Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court(Abuja division) issued interlocutory injunction restraining INEC from recognising the PDP Edo State primary election conducted by the National Caretaker Committee led by Senator Ahmed Markafi that produced Pastor Ize Iyamu as duly elected candidate. In the same interim ruling, the so called judge also instructed INEC to recognise the arrangement that was organised by former party chairman Sen Ali Modu Sheriff and his friends.

AN ABSOLUTE IRRATIONAL RULING
In all sincerity, what kind of judgement is that? Which judge that knows his/her worth would give such a judgement when barely 24hours after another Judge Valentine Ashi of Abuja High Court had ruled that the 2014 PDP Constitution Amendment that Sheriff and his team were making claim of was illegal, null and void, and in violation of the Electoral Act? When did Justice Okon Abang of Federal High Court (Abuja) assume the power of a Superior court to Abuja High Court that it constitute himself into an Appeal body?
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/206099-court-sacks-modu-sheriff-pdp-chairman.html

Is Justice Abang not also aware that Justice A. M. Liman of the Federal High Court, Portharcourt has barred Sherriff from parading himself as Chairman of the party in May 24, 2016, and had fixed July 04, 2016 to rule on the suit brought to him by Sheriff to vacate the order? Is it not the ruling that prompted INEC to insist on recognising the legitimate mandate of Markafi led Caretaker Committee, and even went ahead to monitor the Edo Congress and primary by the party leadership?
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/court-bars-sheriff-as-pdp-chair-orders-recognition-of-markarfi-led-caretaker-committee/

It is unheard of in any democracy that an High Court Judge will arrogate an appeal privilege to himself to overrule the judgement of TWO courts of coordinate jurisdiction. Why do people flagrantly abuse the law? What is the rationality behind the order? Justice Okon should wait for his promotion to Appeal Court bench if he is so eager to be an appellate Judge on High Court Judges.

I trust INEC to confine the order into the next available trash can.

SHERIFF IS CHASING SHADOWS
It will be in the interest of democracy and the country for Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to wait for the July 4 verdict of the Federal High Court, Portharcourt, and to head to Court of Appeal to appeal the ruling of the Abuja High Court that barred him from parading himself as PDP National Chairman instead of chasing shadows by running to Justice Okon Abang that has NO POWER to overturn another High Court judgement in order to obtain a null and void judgement.

THE REAL PLOT OF ALI MODU SHERIFF
Like I did mention to a friend on Palmchat, I don't need a prophet to know that Ali Modu Sheriff is doing what he is doing in order to create anarchy within the camp of PDP Governorship candidate and the incoming Governor of Edo State, Pastor Ize Iyamu. One don't need a prophet to know that the plan of Sheriff is to see that INEC/Court disqualifies PDP from the election to provide an expressway to the would-be defeated APC unsellable candidate Godwin Obaseki and the outgoing Governor Adams Oshiomole(but it is dead on arrival)

Make no mistake, Sheriff is aware that the Electoral Act stipulates that party must inform INEC of their Primaries 21 days before the said date, and mandates INEC to monitor primary election of parties. It also mandates delegates to participate in the Primaries to elect flagbearers. Sheriff is very much aware that his camp did not meet ANY of the criteria spelt by the Electoral Act, and anything done by their group is as good as waste of time and resources. Hence, their scheme is to see that the law is manipulated to give their faction legitimacy, after which INEC will decline to field PDP candidate for not meeting criteria, and thereby allowing the APC a one way space. They will NEVER succeed.

...BUT TEAM IZE IYAMU AND EDO PEOPLE CAN'T BE BROKEN
However, it is my pleasure to inform Sheriff and his friends that apart from the fact that the great Edo people want NOBODY but Pastor Iyamu, the PDP led by Markafi enjoys every form of legitimacy, and the process that produced the pastor met every requirement of the Electoral Act. Hence, the plot to deny Edo people the opportunity to bring their leader to power in September is Dead on Arrival.

To God be the Glory, Edo people, Pastor Ize Iyamu, and PDP are in high spirit and shall never be broken. Edo shall make history to be the first state to Change the Change come September 2016. Power shall return to the people.




May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria
God Bless Edo State and Edo People

TonyeBarcanista honestly you need to at least tender an apology for the initial post where you attempted to launder SAS image and where you declared that he was the Chairman that would lead PDP to Eldorado.

You can't blow hot and cold at the same time.

obi58:
This post was published on the 21st of March surprised it is just making news.

As regards the selection criteria or process, it is unfortunate that it was not made public so that it will be in the the best public interest as opposed to the select few.

Also I'm wondering.... If according to the write up Jamnagar produced 1.2m BPD and Dangote is to produce 650k BPD, how come Dangote is to the largest in the world? For those of you in the know please pardon my ignorance and enlighten us.

Recruitment into a Company is not guided by the same rules that guide recruitment into the civil service.

Companies don't have to tell the public how they recruit their employees.

dammytosh:
I dnt understand oo.

They should shoot themselves and say it is an internal affair.

Forgery is against Nigerian Law

Dammytosh I must commend your doggedness and patience in educating simpletons who are demonstrably uneducable.

If the Senate claims the alleged forgery is an internal affair then a man who battered or murdered his wife can equally claim that the IG can not charge him to court claiming internal affair based on the illogical reasoning of these senators.

Again, why are the accused afraid to go and test their defence in the law court if they truly believe they have a water tight defense, at least our jurisprudence would be further enriched.

The executive have initiated a case in the law court against some legislators, the third leg of the governmental tripod which is the judiciary should be allowed to decide the case. That is how a lawful society runs. The accused senators are acting irresponsibly by denying the judiciary their adjudication role. It is trite that the lawmakers make laws, the judiciary interpretes laws and the executive enforces laws.

TippyTop:
I wrote same thing earlier today. She can't be arrested as long as she carrys a diplomatic passport.
For those who claim Sudanese president was arrested in South Africa even though he had diplomatic immunity, this case is different.
Sudanese president committed crimes against humanity which meant he could be arrested anywhere in the world.

Didn't Fayose and everyone connected with this rumour know about diplomatic passports! People challenged the woman to travel to the U.S and she is doing just that.

For your information, Senator Buruji Kashamu has diplomatic passport and he wouldn't dare travel to the States; as a matter of fact he declined the free ticket the Yanks provided by way of extradition.

dondavinchi:
APC mole in PDP ur plan with d ruling party to destroy d PDP will nt worl

Bros I hope you aren't insinuating that Fayose, Wike and other PDP governors who made Sheriff the PDP Chairman were in cahoots with APC to destabilize PDP.

I recall several people including some APC Chieftains, Fani Kayode and Doyin Okupe saying that SAS wasn't fit for the Chairmanship of PDP given the label he had as the founder of Boko Haram but nobody listened.

In fact SAS supporters called anyone who criticized that appointment names.

SAS is a self inflicted pain by the PDP; any attempt to tag him an APC mole is a futile attempt at revisionism.
