Demmocrats:
Dogara: Wahali I swear to Allah, Tinubu i'm with you.



Saraki: Mtcheeew abeg someone should share item 7 (Food) make i eat, they think i get there time

Dogara would have used the word "I swear to God" not Allah because he is a Christian and not a muslim.

So 'Lie' Mohammed, what is the FG's number?

How about drug pushers?

That's nice.

But at what cost? Did he pay workers their salaries?

Which of the pump prices now? The N150 per litre we are paying now or the official N97 that is not available?

See his mouth as if they can even control any pump price at all... Mtcheeeew

Demmocrats:
It doesn't matter if the man is an ex militant, So what about members of IRA(Terrorist group) that got juicy post when the British government made deal with them.

And Mohammed Ndume the Nigerian senator who is facing trial over boko haram but got re-elected as an APC Senator and is a principal officer of the 8th Senate.

Is that how EFCC seals houses? Big NO!

TOEZOFFICIAL:
can someone educate me?...If someone is granted bail, d bail bond (money) is for who?

No money is paid. The surety will merely undertake to pay the said sum if the accused escape from justice.

ON THE CLASH BETWEEN THE ARMY AND SHIITES: Text of State broadcast by Malam Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, on the recent security issues in Zaria; 17 December 2015

Dear People of Kaduna State,

We have witnessed sad events in Zaria and a part of Kaduna metropolis over the last few days. As your Governor, it is my duty to address you on the incidents, and explain the events that preceded the tragedy of last weekend. We shall also outline how we intend to prevent a recurrence.

As you are aware, military operations have taken place in Zaria between Saturday, 12 December and Monday, 14 December 2015. There have been tragic consequences and needless loss of lives, and we extend our condolences to the families that have been affected. In this sombre moment, we have also directed that steps be taken to address the humanitarian fallouts of the operations. The State Government is carrying out after action review of the theatre of operations with a view to compensating those whose vehicles, real property and other assets were damaged as a result.

The Kaduna State Government has been informed that on Saturday, 12 December 2015, the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai, reported an ambush and attempted assassination at a roadblock mounted by members of Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky's Islamic Movement of Nigeria. Clashes broke out as soldiers mounted operations to repel the attack, remove the obstruction to a major public highway, and to contain and arrest the perpetrators. When the security agencies sent reports of the clash to me a little after 3pm on that day, I initiated steps that I thought could calm the situation. I called Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky on the phone to get his side of the story, and thereafter visited Zaria for on-the-spot briefing and assessment and visited the Chief of Army Staff.

The army and the police have since addressed the press on the security operations and the aftermath. We have also seen video clips aired on national television and online to show the extent to which the Nigerian Army tried to reason with the persons that were intent on obstructing a public highway without any justification. The avoidable weekend tragedy in Zaria has a background based on information available to the Kaduna State Government.

What the Kaduna State Government has learnt
Based on reports from government organs and security agencies, we have learnt the following:
• There had been tension in parts of Zaria since Thursday, 10 December 2015, when members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria were alleged to have attacked Gabari, a community on the outskirts of Zaria, in continuation of a dispute over a mosque. Like the previous attack, this second assault on Gabari also took three lives. The alleged bone of contention was that the El-Zakzaky movement wanted to take over a mosque they did not build in Gabari. The mosque had been sealed by the authorities following the collapse of the arrangements that had enabled various sects to amicably share its usage.

• In the last two weeks, the Islamic Movement of Nigeria has also illegally occupied federal roads. Over a period of four days, they took over one side of the federal expressway between Kaduna and Zaria, and the roads to Kano and Katsina. They entered schools along these routes, using them as rest and recreation points without notice or permission or any concern about the disruption of academic activities.

• The Husainiyah building, the headquarters of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, was put up without statutory title to the land, and in outright defiance of a stop-work notice issued by KASUPDA in 2010. When KASUPDA followed up with a demolition notice in the same year, the then authorities chose to look the other way, and allowed the sect to complete a building that had neither title nor planning approval, and which the appropriate agency had determined was in violation of planning and development regulations.

• The successful completion of this illegal building on a major road subsequently led to a pattern of inconveniences being inflicted on members of the general public. There were various reports and complaints that the sect was harassing members of the public, and inflicting hardship on commuters. At their headquarters and in other areas where Zakzaky’s movement had structures, they had tried to forcibly acquire the property of their neighbours; this is apart from subjecting residents to an illegal curfew.

• Government also received reports that the Islamic Movement of Nigeria acted like a parallel state, with total disdain for the formal structures of the Nigerian government and little regard for the rights of non-members. Whenever community, traditional or political leaders invite the sect to dispute resolution meetings, they often declined the invitations. In addition, members of the movement are alleged to openly carry and use offensive weapons.

• Following the Zaria incident, Shiite members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria have tried to upset the peace in parts of Kaduna. The security forces have responded firmly to the situation in the Tudun Wada area of Kaduna Metropolis. Violent actions by sect members on Tuesday, 15 December 2016, included the use of Molotov cocktails and petrol bombs against the security forces.

Judicial Commission of Inquiry to be established
As the security operations in Zaria are wound-down, the Kaduna State Government is persuaded that it is vital, for reasons of accountability and transparency, that a factual and authoritative account of the events be painstakingly assembled. The Kaduna State Government has therefore decided that under the powers conferred on me by the Tribunals of Inquiry Act, a Judicial Commission of Inquiry will be established to examine the remote and immediate causes of the Zaria incident. This inquiry will be open and will enable all allegations and claims to be tested with judicial rigour. The government will act promptly on the conclusions of the inquiry, and forward recommendations requiring action by the Federal Government to Mr. President. Details of the composition and terms of reference of the judicial commission of inquiry would be made public within the next two weeks.

Commitment to security and constitutional rights
In the meantime, Government reiterates that it cannot permit an escalation of lawlessness. Therefore, civil security patrols, supported by the military when necessary, will continue to enable the state to maintain order, reassure residents and keep the peace. Our government continues to invest heavily in security as a foundation for the successful execution of our economic and social agenda to develop Kaduna State.

Fellow citizens, Kaduna State has witnessed too many upheavals in its recent history. These tragedies have taken too many lives, maimed people, destroyed communities and hurt development. We all should jointly say no to actions that divide people, reject conduct that ignores or violates the legal and constitutional rights of others and oppose practices that contest the prerogatives of state institutions to safeguard and protect every citizen.

Everyone has a fundamental right to their faiths and beliefs, but no one has any right to practise their faith in ways that diminish, distress or inconvenience others. And no one can be allowed to justify unlawful and anti-social behaviour on the grounds of religion. Only conduct that conforms to the Constitution and the laws of the country is valid, and it is the duty of the state to vigorously enforce that. No responsible leader or institution should teach their followers differently.

Henceforth, no person or group, under any guise will be allowed to block any road, obstruct public highways, occupy public facilities or inconvenience citizens in Kaduna State. Anybody that needs to march may do so, but they cannot take over public facilities or disrupt social services and commercial activities in Kaduna State, and any march or procession can be undertaken only with the prior knowledge of, and protection of the police to prevent the breakdown of law and order.

The Government wishes to assure every resident of Kaduna State that it is committed to fostering harmony, maintaining law and order and keeping the peace. Our Constitution rightly protects the freedom of worship, as well as the right to liberty, security and the pursuit of happiness. Everyone is entitled to these rights equally. We swore to uphold the Constitution, and our commitment to these values is unwavering. We will similarly protect these rights evenly.

We urge all citizens to be vigilant as they go about their normal activities, and to report any suspicions or concerns to the appropriate authorities. Let us all redouble our commitment to sustaining the peace, and to uphold each other in our God-given humanity.

While the crisis raged, the Kaduna State Government visited Zaria, and issued appeals for calm and peace. We have taken our time to make this formal broadcast due to the imperative to gather as much information as possible amidst the welter of conflicting claims, the urgency of restoring peace and the need to consult with the federal authorities.

God bless Kaduna State
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
May the souls of the departed find peace
May the Almighty God Restore and Preserve Peace throughout our state and country, Amen.


Cc: seun, lalasticlala pls do the needful

PassingShot:
Is Dasuki not being properly tried in court of law according to our constitution already? That one has even been taken beyond common sense reasoning. Not so?

Yu just showed how ignorant yu are. The Criminal Procedure Code guides Dasuki's trial and not the constitution.

As it is with our criminal system of adversarial, it's the prosecution (in this case the Federal Government) that must proved it's case against Dasuki BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT and a PRIMA FACIE case established against him before he will be called to defend himself.

Heehehehehehehe...
And this case will take like 30yrs from Federal High Court to Supreme Court if not 40yrs.

Hefemale:
This is wickedness and I don't think this will go down well with his followers. NA should be prepared for another deadly terrorist group.

Did yu said Nigerian Army or Nigerians? Abi yu be Chinese?

kilokeys:
I know stupidity is evenly distributed amongst the population... But unfortunately , the North East has more than their share..



When I served in Taraba.. I unethically aided a student (female) during the waec Maths theory part.. With the construction question.


Only for me to come some moments later to see my arcs and fine lines redrawn with the pen..

Me : wtf, why?

She : Sir Sir, e no clear.. I con use beero do am so that e go clear

I rest my case

Thunder fire ur entire family.

I am from Adamawa state and in 2005,I attended the Nigerian Law School in Victoria Island Lagos where I saw the worst of human comprehension in the Yoruba.

It's a good thing but that is not CAN please. OP should not spread lies anyhow.

But I thought they said he was brutalized and his house destroyed?

PassingShot:
Common sense dictates that Dasuki has to prove his allegations. As simple as ABC. Not so?

Same common sense is required to prove the allegations against Dasuki abi it's the usual double standard?

Stolen:
Provide prove and tell us how they attack Army chief. Tell us if they set bomb or fired a single shot. Liars!

They have moved from denying the pic to making nonexistant claims and speculations.

They would have been Boko Haram etc? Is it not the same Boko Haram that Buhari said an attack on boko haram is an attack on the North?

Do yu know what it means to engage the army? The Nigerian Army is a symbol of authority. The singular act of blocking road is a criminal act. The Act of resisting arrest is also flawed not to talk of the sect firing at the military with weapons before they were overwhelmed.

Super1Star:
According to the constitution of the Federal Republic, the FG is meant to provide cars befitting a president to all ex-head of states every 3/4years.

If this is the case, no crime was committed.

When was the last one bought?
And which constitution provides for that? It's never in the Nigerian constitution and has never been. It's the in the RMAFC Runemerations for past leaders.

Cheapest bail ever. Will be perfected latest trrw. Wanna bet?

doncaster:
I thought bail is free in Nigeria or is this bail different from police bail. Somebody in the know pls.

The bail is free. The surety pays the N400 million if Dokpesi jumps bail.

DaFlash:
Those set of people are nuisance everywhere they are, online and offline

They are boring

He never wore this clothing at any time until after the Presidential elections.

I know him for over 15 years.

EroticAngelina:
omg... does he really av the power to do dat??

Yes he does. It's a state run agency.

GMan650:
Since our Number one citizen said he isn't in support of it then we should be rest assured it isn't going to see the light of the day.

#No to party fanaticism
#Yes to better Nigeria

He never said so. He said if it's not against the Constitution, he will assent.

Yahaya Bello's deputy is whom?

Realisticman:
Court is a free place. Yahaya Bello is the APC candidate simple!

Even when Audu's deputy said he is not his deputy?

Force Number 10458, yu are in big shit for engaging in illegal duty. Thanks to Timaya.

ezeagu:
Look at the number of billionaires in the north, their ancestry, and the condition of the north, that's all I have to write.

Is Dantata from a ruling family? How about Dangote? Atiku nko?

obailala:
But newspapers usually have different frontpages for different regions... How is this a new thing?....The Vanguard or Guardian newspaper circulated in Lagos may typically have a different frontpage and different news content from the one sold in Owerri; this is not a new thing.

I am not aware of any violence or attempted violence in Rivers state yesterday however.

Exactly!
because of distance in distribution, most newspapers have printing press in the north and south with different stories.
Imagine a paper printed in Lagos and then transported to Abuja, Kano or Sokoto. What time will it get to readers in these areas?
It will certainly be stale news by then.
Even Bubu has 2 media aides; one a Northerner and the other a Southerner.

Bobbystanley:
Time for Wada to decamp to APC.


You know,Our politicians can do anything to remain in the Corridors of power

But I would suggest the give Yahaya Bello the ticket since he was second in the last Primary election in which Audu won instead of wasting time, energy and resources conducting a new primary election.

The Electoral Act 2011 provides for how primaries must be conducted. It's not just that simple as yu said.

Segadem:
She doesn't look like an Hausa.

She is not. Danbaba Suntai is not a muslim

dominique:
Lols how do these people do it. Few times I watch Yoruba magic, I set my phone camera to capture the gunshots in their subtitles but it goes away so fast.

Pause?

SaiBuharii:
I'm a Christian and I know this people do not represent Islam.

They are?
