musaibnabdul:
Fashola is a great man, but to turn the rot in Nigeria right now you need a man with the heart of steel, thats where Buhari comes. Fashola 2019 is a possibility

Buhari a man with the heart of steel? The lies you people try to sell is so not funny. The same Buhari that was kicked out immediately his VP went on Hajj? The same president that hid under the skirts of his deputy for two years? Maybe you dont know the difference between an insecure man and a man with the heart of steel. Bullies are weak people who try to hide their insecurities through bullying. Buhari is a chicken. The coup that kicked him out is the easiest since independence. They just waited for his deputy to leave the country and they kicked him out unceremoniously.

nickxtra:
Where is the deputy? Another constitutional crises if he was sworn in without a deputy.

He will choose a deputy. Not a constitutional crisis

MisterLongman:
Don't forget that Nyako also testified in court. He will be laughing at fintiri and pdp's foolishness.... And don't give me that crap that ngilari is a pdp member.. Nobody knows where he stand presently and I don't expect him to stay after pdp betrayed him

Some of you are so ignorant. Can't you see that PDP replaced fintiri because he would cause problems for them next year. It's all PDP affair. Not a win for APC

Why is APC trying so hard to take the credit of the FG in managing the ebola Issue? All the statements and coordination of the ebola issue has come from the health minister not LASG. its just shameful they can't give due credit to the FG where necessary. Bitter politics this is

So LASG managed the PH, Abia, ife cases too?

President of Civil Right Congress, Comrade Shehu Sani, on Monday ruled out the possibility of Boko Haram sect disclosing its source of funding and sponsorship to the Australian hostage negotiator, Dr. Stephen Davis.
Davis in an interview with the media had alleged the involvement of some prominent politicians, military officers and government officials in the Boko Haram insurgency.
Reacting to the Australian allegation on his facebook wall on Monday, Sani who also facilitated the meeting between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the group in Maiduguri in 2011 said it was impossible for genuine Boko Haram members to disclose to any negotiator the sect’s source of funding.
Sani, who dismissed the allegation said, “I have been asked by many people to confirm whether the statement credited to the Australian negotiator about the involvement of some people in the Boko Haram insurgency is true or false.
“The truth and the little I know is that it is very impossible for genuine Boko Haram top rank members to disclose to any negotiator their source of funding.
“Any negotiator who deviates from his acclaimed role of a broker and tried to seek information about their source of funding will likely be treated as a spy.
“How logical is it for the group to be sponsored by persons they consistently despised and targeted?
“The government has denied any link with the mediator and I believe the group will make their statement on the issue,” Sani stated.

sandijey: I started getting scared of naija since yaradua died. They never tell the truth. Never[b][/b]. Maybe they don't want people to panic. In a situation like this, nothing should be hidden. Ok so where did this new ebola case come from? Is it from the same sawyer or a different carrier? They shouldn't give us surface gist.

Why do some of you never read. Just a smple read through will help cure your ignorance.

Most APC people don't know how to read. Those that can read, obviously can't comprehend.

How can Ribadu have been disgraced when he voluntarily step Down?

Brahms: Big Lie!! The leading Politicians in APC were never PDP Member. Talk of Bisi Akande? Tinubu? Buhari?? El-rufai (Don't even say that!! He was never a card carrying member of PDP) ? Oyegun? If you're talking about the likes of Atiku, then you don't understand his role in APC.


Hey M0ron, APC was formed last year!


Talk of Sycophancy.. It's in you. Fashola Corrupt?? Aregbesola Corrupt? Oshiomole Corrupt?? Compared to those Niger-Delta thieves with heavy pay and little work.


That doesn't change the fact that he has an Apartment in Lagos. It's a known fact; Fashola is the Best Governor that ever govern a State in Nigeria.


I said it, you reeks of ignorance. Go check Achievements of Aregbesola and Fashola within the last few years.


Hey Villager, where I stay in Lagos, we run Water everyday. The last time the water wasn't running was 3 weeks ago, and it was off for 2days. Ketu, Lagos.

The only thing I hear always is that they will change Nigeria when they get to Aso Rock. But the golden saying goes, "he that is faithful in little will be faithful in much". APC has not been faithful in little so far and what makes it even worse, they all answer to one man's pocket. Even the so called maligned PDP is not in one man's pocket

Honestly, I will like to hear one reason why APC is better than PDP. Please don't give me that "Lets just try them line".

Change is Coming to other parts of Nigeria, come Valentine's Day!!

Is this your response? F9!

nuclearboy: Such a simple thing.

Its time to make the truth known OPENLY. Take the press to Bama township and prove those bastards haven't taken the place.

Until such is done, people will keep wondering what the truth is but if you do that, the senator will be shut up for good

They font have to prove anything. Nobody else thinks otherwise except APC people who have been supporting Boko Haram

LFJ: OP, can you honestly tell me why you want us to remain one party nation? If you think we deserve an opposition party but what we currently have is you problem, then you need to keep your mouth shut until you provide us with alternative. Those who are currently in opposition party are Nigerians like you, if you can do it better, Nigerians will be very happy to follow you, until then please pocket your opinion about opposition for now.

You have successfully said nothing. Can you stay on topic or move on please

Soloter: @op, I've not met a blatant conscienceless liar like you. at present, which state in this nation can you compare to Lagos and Rivers? During Duke's tenure there was no APC. Akpabio used brown envelopes to buy that award. APC is the party chanting the slogan ; "One man one vote" and "every vote must count" I like APC because it's a party of repentant criminals who are in every sense better than active criminals (pdp). if at all the federal government does anything reasonable today it's because of the pressure from APC. bros, APC is better compared to pdp.

There is no APC state that has conducted a credible election since 1999. Thats a sad fact. The last Lagos and Kano elections were charades. Edi state was a disaster. It doesnt matter what APC chants. Its just rethoric! Akpabio did not buy any award., He is the best governor without a challenge. Even Rivers people are insulting Amaechi because of Akpabio.

You made me laugh when you said APC is a party of repentant criminals. How, when and where did they repent? If they repented according to you, why are they porting back to PDP in droves? I am glad you even admitted they are criminals in the first place

sheymaziggy: Before you jump into conclusion, compare apc controlled state and pdp controlled states, make your comparison and answer your questions yourself.

Did you not see the comparisons I made in the original post? Please read again

1. Almost all the leading politicians in the APC today are former PDP politicians who managed and squandered Nigerian resources
'
2. The APC since 1999, have never conducted free and fair elections in any of their states

3. The APC states are all terribly corrupt with huge debts and nothing to show for it

4. The best governor between 1999 and 2007 was a PDP governor, i.e. Donald Duke of cross Rivers state. The best governor between 2007 and now is also a PDP governor, i.e. Goodswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom state

5. There is no APC state where the governor has met the basic requirements of governance by providing basic health care and quality basic education.

6. There is no APC state where the governor has provided basic portable water to its citizens

The only thing I hear always is that they will change Nigeria when they get to Aso Rock. But the golden saying goes, "he that is faithful in little will be faithful in much". APC has not been faithful in little so far and what makes it even worse, they all answer to one man's pocket. Even the so called maligned PDP is not in one man's pocket

Honestly, I will like to hear one reason why APC is better than PDP. Please don't give me that "Lets just try them line".

In my books, Buhari is a pretentious anti-corruption fighter. The trajectory of a man's journey in public life matters. For the follwoing reasons I can not vote for Buhari

1. He is an oligarch who does not believe in equality before the law. The way he jailed Lateef Jakande, Jim Nwobodo, Ambrose Ali, Pa Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Ayo Ojewumi on cases that had no foundation and allowed Awwal Ibrahim, the then Niger State governor, who was arrested in Heathrow Airport in London with 14 million pounds sterling and several millions of Niara and dollars to be under house arrest is my evidence. He also allowed Shehu Kangiwa, Sokoto State Governor who conducted and supervised the famous Bakolori Massacre of poor peasant farmers whose land were appropriated without compesation to remain under house arrest.

1(a) Ayo Ojewumi became blind as a result of his imprisonment over false charges and died shortly after.

1 (b) Prof. Ambrose Alli also became blind as a result of this false imprisonment. When he died, he had only one undeveloped plot of land to his name.

1© Pa Adekule Ajasin was never the same after his eventual release and remained sickly for the rest of his life. Whe he died, he never had any property anywhere in the world except the one he had built from his sweat as long term teacher and school principal in Owo township.

2. He put in place a retroactive law that killed three men, innocent men in my book, by public execution. He left untouched an alleged well known drug baron in Ibrahim Babangida who later overthrew his government.

3. He jailed Ndukar Irabor and Tunde Thompson of the Guardian on stories that were factually true under Decree 4. He had told the Nigerian journalists then that it did not matter whether the story reported was true or not, if his regime did not like it, the writer would go to jail.

4. He supervised the smuggling of 53 suitcases filled with cash througth the MMA against the protests of General Tunde Idiagbon and ironically, Abubakar Atiku, the then Director General of the Customs who later became the Vice President and a compromised politician himself. This smuggling of the suit cases were supervised by his ADC, Col. Mustapha Jokolo.

5. He jailed Fela Anikulapo -Kuti on trumped up charges under emergency law which prompted the sentencing judge to confess that he was ordered to do so and apologised to the late musician. It was Buhari's administration that said it has "decided to deal with this Fela problem once and for all."

6. He convinced all the northern political leaders against allowing the National Identity Card program because according to him, this would unravel the myth of Northern population majority

7. He is an Islamic fundamentalist, the Bin Laden of Nigeria, who told his northern followers never to vote for anyone who was not a muslim.

8. He is a coup plotter.

9. He has never been able to account to Nigerians what he did with the 20 billion Naira of the Petroleum Trust Fund of which he was the chairman under Sani Abacha.
9(a) He has not been able to point to any project that he prosecuted outside the Northern Nigeria with the so-caled trust fund.

10. He was in full support of all the atrocities of Sani Abacha against the Nigerian people. There is no single record of his criticism of Sani Abacha during those dark days when Nigeria was on precipice. It shows that he is a patriot of convenience and as such unfit to lead the country.

11. Buhari, as part of his tribalistic practices placed President Shagari under house arrest inside a palatia mansion in Ikoyi while he locked up Shagari's Vice, Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri Prison. Shagari is Hausa/Fulani like him while Alex Ekwueme is an Igboman.

12. Ikemba Emeka Ojukwu, another Igboman who returned from 13years exile just a little over a year then was as well locked up in Kiri Kiri Prison by meanhearted Buhari.Up till today we are not told what was Emeka's offence.

13. Busari Adelakun died of ulcer because Buhari refused him to be taken out of prison for immediate medical attention.The then Governor of Ogun State,Bisi Onabanjo suffered similar fate which we were told led to his untimely death.

14. Buhari ransacked the house of our late sage, Obafemi Awolowo and confisticated his International passport. Which civilized democratic society would elect the likes of Buhari as President,the same individual who overthrew an elected President? Never!

15. Plus Buhari having Sam Mbakwe in jail, went for one of Mbakwe's wives. He established himself again for what he was/is letting Mbakwe receive in jailhouse news of the death of another of Mbakwe's two wives. One (I can't remember his name now; Odenigbo?) also died in jail.

16. Buhari's henchman and sponsor, CPC governorship candidate for Kano State, is Mohammed Abacha, the same person that had/ran a personal killing squad, co ordinated the killing of Kudirat Abiola & attempted to kill Ibru; and also stashed money in underground tanks, all less than 13 years ago, Nigerians have very short selective memory. Shame!

17. Buhari discriminated against persons from other ethnic groups/faiths; and that as PTF Chairman, he employed an overwhelming number of Fulani/Hausa/Moslem people at the detriment of other groups and concentrated PTF projects in the North. If in doubt read El Rufai's testimony where he wrote about Katsina boys who used the money they made at PTF to bankroll Yar'Adua's election in 1999.

18. Buhari is unforgiven. When he "took over" by coup in 1983, even remembered an article written a very very long time ago by Bisi Onabanjo ('The Mallams are coming') and a later one in which Onabanjo wrote that people should watch out for that "gangly officer from the north" after Buhari gave a no holds barred speech at some Army function where he was reported to be very openly pro Fulani and pro Islam to the exclusive of all else and also talked about termination of democratic rule. For that, Onabanjo got one of the harshest jail terms and treatments.

19. Buhari intolerance is worse than Obasanjo's. When he was adopted as the ANPP's candidate on the night of the party's Primaries without prior warning to the other candidates and a few of them protested, Buhari got up and made a speech that those people must be disciplined. I subsequently saw him on BBC's "hard talk" and he frightened me and the interviewer with his archaic and fundamentalist intolerant views. His understanding and articulation is very much in doubt.

20. The evil genius, IBB and his crew similarly ran rings around Buhari. On the 10th anniversary of Abacha's demise, Buhari said that Abacha stole nothing from Nigeria! Despite millions of Dollars recovered from banks around the world and the Abacha family signing a formal agreement to return over $1 billion dollars, Buhari still said that Abacha's stealing remains an unproved allegation!!!! Why? Because Abacha set Buhari up like an emperor and let him use oil money from the Niger Delta to develop the North without supervision or questions.

21. Buhari snubbed the same Nigerians he now wants their votes by refusing to appear before Justice Oputa Truth and Reconciliation Panel. Despite the fact that Buhari knew how inportant reconciliation is to the stability of democracy. Buhari has never apologised at anytime.

22. Buhari executed Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26). To put it quite plainly, one of those three – Ogedengbe - was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. and At the time Ogedengbe committed the crime it did not carry that punishment. If we must live as civilised citizens we must go by the rules. Article 11.2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reads: "No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on account of any act or omission WHICH DID NOT CONSTITUTE A PENAL OFFENCE, under national or international law at the time when it was committed. NOR SHALL A HEAVIER PUNISHMENT BE IMPOSED THAN THE ONE THAT WAS APPLICABLE AT THE TIME THE PENAL OFFENCE WAS COMMITTED. Killing people with retroactive laws is not the civilised thing to do - and for as long as we will have people who refuse to see the truth only because their heroes are inching to rule when they have not purged themselves we will continue to wallow in misery.

This ignorance is on the same level as the Ebola salt therapy!

AZeD1: Its not about America alone, its the fact that our National ID shouldn't bear the logo of a company talk more of a foreign company.

What is wrong with your card bearing the logo of a company? Stop being an illiterate villager my friend!

You have to weep when you see a thread like this. How ignorant can this OP be? So the mastercard and visa card you use from your bank should be destroyed because mastercard is an American company, shouldnt it? Please what other information exist in the new ID that doesnt exist in your current bank account?

This is becoming very ridiculous from some naysayers

If you are interested, why not pick a form and contest against him. How do you win an election by blackmailing your opponent not to contest? You sound like you are one of those throwing bombs so you can blame him and stop him from contesting

Why are some of you become propaganda tools for BH. BH is a cowardly group that attack innocent citizens on border towns and you come here to celebrate them. Why are you promoting their propaganda

And has Boko Haram taking ascendancy over our military?

CityNG: Celebrate the mothers choice not to breastfeed. It's not a requirement.

It is a requirement. Using formula exposes the child to health issues. The immune system will notbe able to fight sickness properly

That is not a 3 day old baby. A 3 day old cant see or hold anything firmly. The muscles have to develope. At 3 days, the face will still be squeezed. It takes about 2 weeks for the face to normalize. Thats why new born babies normally look old in their faces during the eerly days.

I have been laughing so hard at the bitterness coming from some APC supporters and bigots. This Akpabio achievements is really paining them badly. See how far they are going to try and discredit it.

Leopantro: i believe you. knowing the ability of the government to lie through their teeth, i don't believe this news. unfortunately, nigerians are so gullible



how can you dischage someone who was in this condition two days ago

This is a report from a media house, not a government news briefing. Must you criticize everything?

thegoodjoehunt3: I think our government and the health ministry wants it free of charge. I wonder what the 1.9 billion naira released by President Goodluck Jonathan is for.

Why are you posting nosense all over this thread? Why would the government want it free of charge. Please try and make sense or dont post at all

duni04: Bros these things are not stringent. Ebola itself as a disease has not been fully understood. Its exact mode of transmission and life cycle are still understudy. To say its mode of transmission is difficult sounds naive as ebola is about the easiest disease to transfer to someone else. You get ebola not just by contact with a carrier, but also contact with things a carrier has already touched. People are mistaking the body fluids contact to mean contact with blood, it way easier than that.

This is ignorance. Most viruses only live a few seconds outside their host. The HIV virus for example, only lives about 4 seconds outside the body. You are spreading ignorance here. If you were right, Liberia and Gunea would have recorded more deaths since February. You can see even from the number of deaths from those countries that the disease is not spreading to thousands of people because the disease does not spread like some of you try to portray it

RedBenson: I'm not a virologist and i may doubt or not doubt thier claims but virus i know is more aggressive in transmission than others. Not necessarily until the carrier starts showing symptons.

Dont spread false information. The virus can only be transmitted when the infected person has fully started showing symptons. The virus is dangerous because there is no cure yet, but its mode of transmission makes it a bit difficult to transfer. The biggest problem in its spread is ignorance and irresponsibilty on the part of the carrier

Giannakopoulos: FG quarantined her and she could still travel,then the word "quarantine" has to be redefined to us by this our unserious FG.

Before you continue your politics, just know that the quarantine center is run by the LASG not FG.

omicron: Abeg Mods change the title of topic to something...not sth that suggests that it's already a fact that Nigerians are unserious. You aint doing our image any better.

At least ask '' Why Are Nigerians Seemingly Unserious''

They are two different questions altogether.

The OP and his thread are the most unserious thing I have encountered today

You talked of the Arab spring like it was a good thing. Cant you see what those countries have turned into? Is that what you want for us? we reject it in Jesus name!

Why is this unserious OP trying so hard to make people sad? OP, people dont want to be sad you hear. And many of the stories of doom and gloom you hear aint true you hear. Nigeria is not as bad as some want to paint it. We have our issues but most still eat 3 square meals a day. We dont commit suicide here if that is what you want to see. Abeg, take one Alomo and cool your head. You are too serious joor

Lordlexyy: That's what he is. The joke is on you to disprove his integrity and honesty. His stallion qualities are chronicles for us to see except for folks who finds fault when there is none. He remains the only leader so far in the history of this country that nobody has been able to bring any charges against. If you think there's any both as an head of state and ptf chairman, oya mr. Find fault, do justice to my curiosity.

You are a joke. Buhari was a crook who declared that Abacha was not corrupt., How can a man who presided over billions of PTF funds and squandered it be a man of integrity and honesty? You too are a joke. Dont mess up your thread bro
