Politics › Re: Photos; Bukola Saraki Poses With The Elected Principal Officers Of The Senate by Themandator: 10:06pm On Jun 25, 2015
IlekeHD:
He has never denied being Yoruba. His mom is from Oyo state.
Saraki, starting from their late dad are fulani... The father was the former chairman of Northern elders forum before he passed on.... The name means nothing more than a reference... Amaechi bears a yoruba name as well

You are a confirmed dullard!
The position of Chief Whip has been reserved for the SW.

Also, the HoR may not be able to sit successfully if Gbaja is not given the position of house leader.

Mind you, Tinubu's loss is NOT equivalent to Yorubas' loss.
Isnt Saraki Yoruba himself?
The HoR is 'owned' by whoever is the speaker... Before July 21st Atiku and Co would have worked out another way to out smart their rival.


Then they will wait for a convention in the near future and sweep Tinubu and his gang out of the party executive.... Tinubu is planning though but he is up against not just his fellow co-travellers but also an Obasanjo that can't live in a country with another fellow Yoruba exercising influence that is beyond his reach

It seems I'm now believing the Members of the House of Reps more than our Senators. Hadn't been Saraki was the Speaker and tries what he's trying in the Senate floor, in the House chambers, I believe he would have been laid to rest by now. It wouldn't take a member a second to accost him and hurt him. You may call that legislative rascality, but it's welcomed in times like this.

The Party has the SAY on who is to be the Majority Leader and all that, all the Senate President or House Speaker has to do is just announce the list submitted by the Party.

Ahmad Ali, who was the Former Chairmen (7th) House Committee on Justice was asked to leave the House of Reps and contest (Kwara) State House of Assembly Seat. He won and he was eventually made the Speaker. Who aided that? The Chief Godfather of Kwara Politics (Saraki). He believes in imposition in his State but doesn't believe in it at the Central because it wouldn't favour him.

As usual, PDPians would invade this thread and commend the duo (Saraki and Dogara). My question for you guys is: "Did Tambuwal refuse to announce the names submitted to him by PDP in 2011 as Principal Officers?" If NO, then y'all (TANdroids) should shut that bleep!
why would he announce the names as submitted when we are in the era of change .....shoudnt he be creative?

What a myopic statement. So PDP supported Saraki without anything in it for them? As far as Saraki still want to retain that seat, he must continue dancing to the tune of PDP.

So therefore, he's only postponing his doomsday.
Because it is pdp it is doomsday. Whatever kept Tambuwal in the lower chamber will be offered. It can never be the impeachment of Buhari or the sale of Nigeria.

He played his hand too early in the game, and on top of that, he's still proving to be stubborn. Now everyone knows how desperate and ambitious he is. He'll be easily tamed.
Saraki on the contrary is consolidating his grip... Do you imagine those who are going to emerge will sit down and plot his impeachment? Nope.

The ex govs who make up a sizeable percent of them are his former colleagues... Who are used to be in charge... Do you imagine they want to be dictated to by party leadership that is bent towards one leader? Nope.

When he finally names the committee chairmen he would have completely taken over the Senate.... Neither the south east not south south will ever back
his removal so also are the senators from ekiti and ondo as well as his zone not forgetting that he has the support of Atiku, for whatever it is worth.


Buhari is not ready to throw money around and the money is not even readily available and those with personal resources like Amaechi don't know their future yet.


Even at that, in the event the cash is available, who are you gonna bribe, Akpabio with influence over his fellow senators from the state or the former govs?
Put money into the project and the Buhari presidency gets his first anti corruption test as it would be exposed and the public would expect him to act.

APC or the Tinubu faction will have to live with the idea of a strong and independent minded Senate president and speaker.... Buhari is not in any way in harms way either way.

I have said this times without number :it is a northern affair... No president will allow alternate power centre in any guise... Individual or party supremacy.


Neither the north nor Buhari will tolerate a Tinubu supervised clearing house called party.... If anyone believe Buhari is angry with Saraki 5hat person is a fast class political mugu
Politics › Re: Atiku, Kwankwaso, Tambuwal & Saraki Are The Biggest Losers by Themandator: 9:03pm On Jun 23, 2015
change49ja:
I can't but laugh everytime I hear people say Saraki with the help of Kwankwaso, Tambuwal & Atiku outsmarted Tinubu to become the Senate President. I actually believed these quartets 'shot themselves on the head' with their miscalculations. They formed an alliance in order to bring Tinubu down not knowing that they were actually destroying their long term political career. No wonder Kwankwaso is singing a new song. No wonder Saraki is going round the clock to beg ex-presidents/head of states to intervene. No wonder Atiku is screaming his undiluted loyalty to Buhari. I believe Tambuwal feel so ashamed of himself right now. It's not a secret that these men aspire to become the President of Nigeria in 2019. I strongly believe Tambuwal and Kwankwaso both have a very good chance come 2019 but I really doubt if that'll ever happen again with the event at the National Assembly and most especially their disrespect to the party and the president.

For these quartets, their long term political ambitions to emerge as the presidential flagbearer of APC is as good as dead on arrival.
Was hoping to read a well thought out opinion with supportive evidence of happenings in the political arena but alas, it was just a bitter losers mindset and wishes.

Buhari won't run in 2019. That clears the way for another northerner who will most like form an alliance with the 2 southern states betrayed by the other members of the southern flank.

Badgers14:
PMB's decision is very plausible. Except from Boko Haram infested states, i see no reason why military should be on the streets.

The streets are for the police becuase they are better trained to interact with civilians in day to day activities unlike the military.
In theory but in practice, give it to the Military... Our police doesn't doesn't inspire confidence....

Christianity Etc › Re: Kidnappers Release Winners' Chapel Calabar Pastor, As Bishop Oyedepo Curses by Themandator: 7:25am On Jun 23, 2015
bushdoc9919:
A Kernersville, North Carolina woman has chosen to forgive the abductors, who kidnapped her at gunpoint.

Susan Patrick told her remarkable story over the weekend at Kernersville's Calvary Chapel.

Three months ago, two men walked up to her while she was unloading goods from her car. Police later said one of the men had a gun.

"They proceeded to make me walk down my driveway, down my street and picked me up and put me in my trunk and took me away," Patrick told the congregation.

The men had planned on robbing her. But she quickly called 911 and was rescued by law enforcement authorites within minutes.

Police have charged three teenagers in connection with Patrick's kidnapping.



[size=14pt]Patrick called the incident "the longest 15 minutes of her life," and months later she says it still haunts her.

"It's not how great your sin is or how bad you messed up, but God has grace and mercy for everyone," she told Winston - Salem television station WXII.

"So the same kind of grace and mercy that He shows to me for the little things I've done, He shows to people who have done much and far worse," she explained.[/size]

While the teens were waiting for their trial to begin, Patrick said she sent all three of the men a copy of the Bible to read during their incarceration.

Her persistence and her prayers may have been answered. One of the men is now attending weekly church services held at Calvary Chapel of the Triad's satellite prison ministry.

"I think it's awesome because that means that God is working in that person's life," Patrick explained. "There's no question about that."

So? In this instance, 5 of the 8 man kidnap gang has finally joined the commission... One of them is named Tony.


Only God can make Paul out of these Saul, like in the bible

The kidnappers called to make their demands and the bishop left an instruction to be put through whenever they call....


When they eventually did, he curse them for daring to enter the church for such purpose... He said this, the bishop, on Sunday.

Brainwashed and blinded. Comparing a tree to a human. How more dumb can people get.
And Jesus comparing himself to a tree of life is what? Jesus didn't say he will pray for the branch to receive virility but cut off.. To be cut off is to be condemned...

matt 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;....Jesus went through the greatest pain ,he was mocked,beaten and nailed to a cross but He never cursed those who did it to him...Stephen the apostle was stoned to death but he never cursed stoners...Paul was locked up ,beaten and persecuted yet he never cursed..even the early missionaries where condemned to death but they prayed for those people...Christ teaches forgiveness... sometimes I wonder if Nigerian pastors can withstand tribulations and persecution at all...they have become so used to enjoyment and power that they even curse other people made by God. Apostle Paul was once a persecutor and he was among those that killed Stephen.but he later repented and helped spread the gospel to the gentiles (us).do ever stop to wonder what would have happened if Stephen cursed his persecutors of whom Paul was among? 95% of people who support this either they don't understand Christ teaching of forgiveness and are still based on the Mosaic law or they are blinded by sentiment because he's their G.O..... my question is thus 'HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR CONGREGATION NOT TO CURSE WHEN YOU CURSE TOO WHEN YOU'RE PROVOKED....well we all need the mercy of God
This long epistle is pointless and needless. Every good Christian must be a good' 'curser'

Jesus is the vine and you are the branch and any branch that produces worthless fruit shall be cut off... He didn't ask you to pray for the Vine to be fruitful or you know better.


And the person saying he cursed a tree and not human... Is he a tree to refer to himself as the Vine?

Nigerians and their lie lie stories.
I was there when the pastor gave his testimony and this aerial assault was not part of it.


He actually called one of the kidnappers that have his life to Christ by name, Tony,demanding that he comes out but the guy refused.

You and everyone that gave you a like just advertised your ignorance of how government works.

It is Buhari's responsibility to appointment every of his VP aides and can equally fire them, if he has reasons to do so... This is not about being 'strong'


The vice president can only recommend, if he has a good working relationships with the President, otherwise, his worst enemy can be appointed as anything to him.
