Aero are actually useless.

In February, I had to cough out an extra 13k to reschedule a 6.50am flight to 10:35am because I got to the airport at 6:25am instead of 6:10am. The flight eventually left at 7:10am. There was nothing I didn't tell them.....the guys refused to budge despite me reminding them of delaying me on an evening flight by over 2 hours in December 2014 without compensation or apology.

Violence is not the way to go though. I pity those injured and wish the matter can be channeled properly so they can be sanctioned appropriately.

Enough of taking passengers for granted.

Really? This is nice

The same folks who sought to destroy GMB are the same people who will sing his praise.

I foresee fayose and ffk doing a documentary on the incorruptibility of GMB soon

Imagine fayose questioning the health of GMB when its doubtful he (fayose) is even as fit as this man who taught GMB in school

Of course the kitchen cabinet will see to your safe and early exit Mr muazu.....

Nothing stops the coven especially when powered by pej and akpabio. Even gej can't save himself from them

You're a goner sir and I'm sure that's the reason for this line in your statement

"He however faulted the refusal of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to welcome new defectors, noting that, “It shows signs of how they will run the country from May 29 2015. It shows how they will not regard non APC Nigerians as part of their responsibility, which will be a shame."

I suspect muazu is planning a trip to APC office

ShangoThor:
Unfair comparison IMHO. Yes it is true, Bakare is brash and more confrontational however, Bakare is not very good at proffering solutions to problems. Watch video clips of them speaking. 170 Million Nigerians exist to moan about imperfect issues, but few offer solutions.

Watch clips of Osinbajo, and he is a breath of fresh air, plus he has added credence of deciphering and understanding issues from a legal perspective which will inform or shape legal and social policy.

Majority of Nigerians hate rules, but the changes required have to be enshrined in Laws.

I prefer Osinbajo anyday, an intellectual that not only explains the the nature of the problem, but also the reason why he has adopted a particular approach towards opting for a particular solution.

What else can I add to this? Nothing I tell you. You've said almost all.

I like bakare the critic but I prefer osinbajo the quiet achiever working behind the scene to shape plenty things in the GMB presidency.

Bakare is a talker but osinbajo is a noiseless doer

Whynotthetruth:

till then bro

Cheers

Whynotthetruth:
I don't want to stretch this any further but lai threw everything he could against Jonathan even before the emergence of buhari as APC candidate... PDP picked up during campaigns...so why cry foul when APC initiated it...notwithstanding Jonathan is the president... he never respected that office...he and APC derobed presidency...I wonder if Nigerians will ever respect that office again as you people seek now...APC has shown us the way

You think gej was insulted?? Take a trip through American need media and readers comments?? You'll understand what insult is.

I thank PDP for their campaign of hate as it only won more admirers to GMB. Wonder why the documentaries stopped

GEJ belittled the presidency without even remembering the crude style of Mrs president some folks just command respect by their aura, GMB is an example. The noise makers can keep making noise on NL.....the great man won't notice

Jonathan was termed corrupt because people including you felt his aides were not because Jonathan is...So you can't separate buhari from shehu not now not ever...

I'll leave you then to keep using Garba Shehu for GMB interchangeably

Jonathan was called corrupt because despite the glaring draining of the country's resources, his efcc couldn't secure a single conviction against a corrupt public official. Even bad OBJ secured a conviction against an IG from his tribe.

GEJ was termed corrupt because he still doesn't know stealing is a form of corruption.

I laugh when APC wants us to give buhari benefit of doubt which they never gave Jonathan...but unfortunately, karma is alive...buhari & APC will get as much support as they gave Jonathan... thanks

You don't have a choice my friend. You're free to make all the noise you wish on NL, you have my best wishes

I listened to an interview of NLC president on chanells today and he is very much willing and excited to work with GMB. Those who matter will give him the time and support he needs just as they gave it to gej. The workers, the media (minus AIT ), the international community etc. Even the ND militants are willing to fall in line.

So you my dear friend on NL, your shouts will only disturb me and others and I'll respond in good measure

Whynotthetruth:
Sorry, I don't wish buhari to fail but only analyse him based on his speeches and actions...don't get it twisted plzzz...

The lady is working on a documentary which isn't out yet but this incident was during a diplomat visit...

I am not vilifying shehu outside of buhari...he's buhari quasi-self...I was only showing how skewed your argument is...

Finally, hate and bile campaign was started by APC via lai Mohammed... the only reason I became singularly disenchanted with them...PDP only took it up generously in retaliation after these folks battered Jonathan image with lies & propaganda... it blame PDP for being reactive than proactive in that measure....and allowing APC control over most media houses...hence, APC dictated what the public should read and not read....

Its good you don't wish GMB to fail because if the heavens are falling, it won't be the problem of one family

No matter how you twist it to be, GMB is very different from Garba Shehu..... the same way I don't believe GEJ is obsessed with Lai Mohammed's undies like ffk is learn to differentiate the man from his messenger.

On the issue of hate campaign, Was there anytime Lai wished GEJ death? FFK did countless times

Was there anytime Lai wished GEJ cancer? PDP did and their agents on NL propagated it countless times

Was there anytime Lai insinuated that gej killed patience mother who had a fatal crash? Or gej killed his own sister who died of sickness? PDP through their satanic documentaries told Nigerians GMB killed his wife and daughter

What hate and malicious campaign could be worse than these? My friend, pls don't let's go there. Nobody no matter how vile and despicable has vilified the person and family of another politician the way PDP did against GMB yet the man didn't take it personal, what more do you want from him my friend?

GMB has shown he's bigger than the low lifers trying to bring him down and I believe that's the stance he'll always maintain

Whynotthetruth:
1)Jonathan was vilified by APC because he exercised his presidential powers of granting pardon to criminals(council of state includes APC governors & buhari who never stood against such prerogative of mercy being extended to these guys) but praised buhari for working with men like amechi, saraki, tinubu who keeps looting their states dry to support him and also remain relevant in politics...

The difference should be very clear to you my friend. Alamieseigha was CONVICTED. Why not tell gej to prosecute all those guys you mentioned then you can condemn GMB if he brings them close.

That shouldn't be too difficult I guess

2)Obj brought kashamu and used his money and clout to fight OGB but now, that the man wanted independence, it is remembered he was a drug baron and not worthy of leadership..

How does this concern GMB my friend? What does he have to do with an indictment of the guy by the american judicial system?

3)APC said PDP are thieves while they are saints...so they must keep being saints or exposed for who they are...Note, that all Nigerian problems in the name of leaders are all in APC now...

Really?? So no more crooks in PDP I guess? Continue

Pls help us expose the criminal activities of APC members. If they all end up in jail, the better for Nigeria. The future of Nigeria and its well being is more important to me.

4)Talking too much doesn't stop you from being a dictator... eg Rochas of Imo state...buhari talks too much and most times, his speech precedes his thoughts...

He wasn't talking much before, you guys said its because he was sick and will soon die. Now he's talking, you say he's talking too much and is a dictator. What exactly do you want my friend?

You must be a mind reader to know his speech precedes his thoughts.

5)We have many credible young Nigerians starting from me...let him dig deep and he will see them...Many who believe in their name than pecuniary games...

You were there yet gej chose a 76 year old as Defence minister? You were there and PDP chose an 82 year old as BOT chairman? You were there and gej chose a 78 year old as campaign director?

If gej didn't see you fit to come close to him inspite of your fanatical support for him, why should GMB choose you?

6)Babaonechance is here...Tell him to stop denying his campaign promises and throwing up flimsy excuses always...Those pointers were there when he was vilifying Jonathan but he felt he could it...the time is now...babaonechance

Which of them has he denied? Making $1=N1

You gat jokes. If you stay on this trajectory, I won't stop you my friend......you'll stop when you tire

Whynotthetruth:
Yes, I believe Dokpesi more who would have gotten in contact with his management team and culprits of incident...The lady in question here was vilified but later granted free access after buhari gave orders maybe due to the uproar from this incident...

It is very myopic and it proves garba as incompetent that he will grant a press release in favour of his boss without first ascertaining exactly what happened par adventure he wasn't there personally at the time of the incident...And this can't be possible hence your explanation holds no water...

Buhari should know this is democracy and he will get as much support as he gave Jonathan... As much bashing as he gave Jonathan... this is law of nature...karma is real...

Finally, have you heard osundefender, Punch, Leadership,premium times, saharareporters, nations, tvc, etc complaining of being barred or insulted or witch hunted or whatever by Jonathan... one is a democrat, the other is wannabe but more at home with dictatorship

Pls don't twist it. Daura visit happened before this incident so GMB according Lara courtesy is in tandem with his style as large hearted person.

Call Garba what you will....it makes no difference to me. I voted and believe in GMB....not Garba Shehu

We all know you wish GMB to fail. No problem as long as he gives it his best shot. You can see how GMB ignored the pedestrian and childish antics of AIT, Fayose, FFK, Metuh etc.....the guy is a general trained to have a thick skin. Let them continue the attacks as long as they don't engage in physical sabotage....that's where you'll confirm he's truly a dictator

However he leaves Nigeria after 4 or 8 years will be ours to enjoy or endure

Whynotthetruth:
In trying to justify some lies, we turn logic upside down and make ourselves look ediotic...How do you see Shehu Garba granting several press releases without even consulting his team par adventure he wasn't there personally during the incident...Can he talk without getting the full details so as to know how to defend his boss...What will be available to him is same thing if he were there and it was an official event of the president-elect with diplomats that they wanted to cover not his bedroom affair ...so how can shehu not be there as media head...nawa ooo for una...theVoice even you?

I've explained the Garba angle in an earlier response. There is little GMB had to do with it. Lara owoeye wise already gave us synopsis of what its like for a hateful media outfit to visit GMB and she has only good stories to tell. She's coming out now because she knows that family that gave them good reception despite the hostility of the neighbours and aides couldn't have given any useless gag order.

Why can't you believe her? Would you rather believe dokpesi the PDP chieftain who obviously has a lot of capital to gain from these?

Whynotthetruth:
agabal23 introduced you as someone who's isn't sheepish like other APC minions...don't prove him wrong ...If buhari fits into those pictures you painted of him above...Believe me, 95% of the people he's dining and wining with today won't be allowed near him...More so, he won't be throwing excuses around as if those challenges weren't there when he was campaigning against Jonathan... He won't be talking too much by now rather he will be doing some introspection and sober reflection on what lies ahead... I see him running a government of propaganda like Rochas... Believe me, most people will tolerate all the reasons for which they feel Jonathan is bad under buhari because of propaganda & lies....Imperfections of Okupe & co were stamped on Jonathan but you wanna take away buhari from his media crew...Impossible...they are a mirror of their boss...thanks

I'd always seeing you as someone with a fine level of thinking too.....pls don't disappoint me

Where will buhari get folks to work with? How could he have gotten there without the political class? If Tinubu is a mirror of GMB, are Buruji Kashamu and Alamieseigha mirror images of GEJ?

Even in your church, you have devils, so how much more among politicians? The most important thing is that he...the head is ready to cause and effect a change. Let him get there first. His transition committee headed by the widely acclaimed and celebrated honest Joda was made chairman because he truly wanted probity to lead, you and friends went to town shouting he appointed an old man. You guys didt factor it in that old man is one of the last crop of truly cerebral public servants with a good record.

You're complaining he talks too much....do you want him to shun and not talk to visitors who won't keep away? So you can accuse him of dictatorship again?

Its not his fault that Nigeria has few honest men. Let him start hid govt first....before you kill him.

Whynotthetruth:
theV0ice and APC warriors...

Be sure, that before Dokpesi(AIT owner) issued his press release he would have contacted his management team at AIT to know the true position of things and the facts...

Also, kindly remember that both the press release justifying the barring of AIT and the one condemning it later were all given by same man; Shehu Garba.

APC also condemned and encouraged all media organization to cover buhari and his activities...

Would all the above be possible if the event didn't take place

Today, You all are using Facebook post as authentic source because it supports your sentiments. Hope you will accept same source when it contradicts or condemns your sentiment too...

BTW babaonechance continues with more excuses; don't expect miracles from us because oil price is falling and when I promised to stabilize world oil price; I didn't know that war in Syria will continue

I don't even need Lara owoeye to speak up before I know GMB gave no such order which is why I never bothered to post on any defence thread. GMB didn't treat the useless, childish, hateful, beerpalour gossip of a documentary with any seriousness, so why should I? Tinubu sued, Osinbajo threatened to sue. Can you point to any link where GMB showed any concern about it?

He knew that "if you stop to kick at every dog that barks at you on your journey, you'll not go far" Garba shehu is a young man who hasn't seen what GMB has seen in life so he could get his nerves worked up over trivialities. What do you think will ruffle the feathers of such as GMB? AIT should continue with their lies if they so wish.

Only a child expects a miracle from the govt of GMB. The difference between gej and GMB is that finally, we have

A frugal president
A president who knows corruption will kill Nigeria if Nigeria doesn't kill it.
A president not given to materialism or primitive acquisition
A president not afraid to take responsibility and make the necessary difficult choices

These are what starts nations on the part of recovery and I'm very optimistic that we will get there....no matter how long it takes.

Whynotthetruth:
And Dokpesi didn't ascertain the true picture of events before condemning it...Guy! you're better than this biko

He is AIT owner and chairman. AIT has an MD. Whom do you think handles the day to day running of the outfit?

Hope you know dokpesi is a PDP chieftain...what did you expect?

Whynotthetruth:
Yes he did...No media/security crew will undertake such audacious stance without some overt/covert signal from the boss...Both the justifying press release for the barring and its subsequent condemnation were issued by same man; shehu garba... pele

Nigerian ambassador and deputy were withdrawn from SA. Do you think GEJ gave the order?

Whynotthetruth:
Who did

Have you heard of overzealous security operatives before? Lara spoke glowingly of the reception they got in the GMB home, so when did he give the gag order?

2 aljazeera staff were detained by the NA for 2 months. Who detained them? Who gave the order?

Could it be the commander in chief named GEJ?

Whynotthetruth:
Shehu Garba(head of buhari media crew) had two press releases and APC did too but to you it is still a propaganda against babaonechance...pele

Did their press releases indicate GMB gave any such order?

Whynotthetruth:
How about the press release by APC, buhari media crew as led by shehu garba etc

Did the press release admit GMB gave the gag and barring order?

omenka:
Hope that hopeless beggarly anacephalous Protection seeking ministerial aide job seeker after reading this still comes around to prattle endlessly about the Amiable General (as he used to refer to him) trying to "sneak in Decree 4 through the back door".

Whatever it is, I like what happened to AIT. I hope they get served much more bitter pills to swallow until they are cured of their cluelesness.

Afterwards, they can then explain in court how Buhari killed his own wife and show evidence of his sponsorship of terrorists.

Nonsense.

The thing baffle sane minds I tell ya...

How can a thinking man believe GMB killed his wife and also killed Fela's mother who died 6 years before GMB took office?

Splashme:
[size=18pt]
APC are shameless liars. This facebook piece is a mere fabrication from one APC e-dog.

Eventhough he claims those of us who do not work for AIT are ignorant, is HIGH CHIEF RAYMOND DOKPESI too also ignorant? [/size]

Did gej not claim ignorance of the Moroccan king phone call debacle? [size=18pt]was he also lying?[/size]

Did gej not also deny knowledge of withdrawal of diplomats from SA? [size=18pt]was he lying as usual then?[/size]

Dokpesi might not actually know what transpired exactly and might have spoken as a the PDP chieftain that he is

They keep making noise. Are they expecting GMB to just sleep in daura till may 29th waiting for gej to bring the keys to aso rock to him?

In any serious organisation, handing over is a very serious issue. How much more for a large, multi complex entity like Nigeria with our peculiarities?

A serious govt can't joke with it and obviously the GMB administration is trying to start on a very serious and determined note.

If gej has nothing to hide, why change the initial date of MDA's submission of notes from April to may 14?

GEJ their hero and idol, pls act like one.

I'm glad Lara Owoeye-Wise can come out to clarify the issue.

GMB didn't lift a finger when the childish, beer parlour gossip peddled as a documentary was being aired. Is it now that even AIT knows that 'parade don change gear' that he'll be trying to bar them? From what? Why would he want to bar them from seeing the obvious failure their campaign of calumny turned out to be?

In fact, GMB should allocate a room to AIT in his daura home so they can be living witnesses of the lifestyle of a family with plenty of decorum and sound African family values.

Ride on GMB.......na God give you

When pastor Bosun of RCCG was busy circulating CD that warned Christians against voting GMB, the cry babies cheered them on.

When FFK was forming christian and screaming GMB was BH sponsor to push Southern voters against him, they didn't cry.

When a renowned mog in Lagos threatened to open the gates of hell against anybody who voted against gej, the cry babies forgot to cry.

Now that their idol lost, they won't let the world rest. I'm sure Alhaji Tanko has been asked to return the mobilisation fees he collected since he failed to convince people to vote his paymaster and because money don enter voicemail, alhaji is trying cover up tactics.

Let them keep on crying if it makes them happy

AlfaSeltzer:
op even if all those absentees voted, yoruba betrayal would still have allowed buhary to win

the problem is south west

stop blaming our people

When will your confusion stop?

Sometimes I'll hear how inconsequential Yoruba votes are since GMB defeated GEJ by only 600,000 votes in the SW. Sometimes like now, you're saying Yoruba votes cost gej the election.

When will you be man enough to apportion blames to yourself?

When have you and the Yoruba ever voted along the same line? Did the Yoruba accuse you of betrayal when Igbo voted Shagari instead of Awo? Did they raise hell when you voted Tofa instead of MKO? When MKO even defeated Tofa in his home state of Kano?

O son of Lucifer, when will you be man enough to accept responsibility? Even the SS are not winning this much

Ezemust:
In my opinion something urgent need to be done to the political conciousness of the Igbos as a whole.A drastic measure is needed to curb the unbecoming mindset of the Igbos concerning their political life. This past election was a strong wake up call for the Igbo.it had opened many blind eye to see the reality on ground.and now that the reality has hit us on the neck,i think we need to stand up and realise ourself.we need to make use of the daylight in search of the black goat before darkness befalls us all.we all need to make up our mind on our wants and in uniform agitates for it.in other word,let stop sitting on the fence and acting up the NEUTRAL. WHEN i went home from the North to my state Enugu for the presidential election did i realise the malady of a situation the igbos place themself in term of politics.the situation was so sordid to the extent i became a make-shift preacher.i have to shout out my voice and explain things out to this VAGUE people. I was mad.i was really mad at my people.why wont i be mad when this people develop a political mentality of I DONT CARE ATTITUED?WHY wont i be mad when men with pvc will rather choose to tape their palm win on election day instead of going out to vote?why wont i be mad when young ladies with pvc will rather stay at home and gossip instead of going out to vote?why wont i be mad..........why wont i be mad.........why wont i be mad?and do u know what was their excuse:?I HAVE NOT VOTED BEFORE,THE GOVERNMENT DONT FEED ME.MY GOD. Imagin this:-while going home i was worried knowing that my vote is lost due to change of enviroment.now after landing in my home of fourteen people,eight of them with pvc.on the day of election only my uncle went out to vote.the others dont even know were they kept their pvc.and this are people praying for gej to win.i was scared to the bone.wahala dey.what is this?how are you going to win when every hausa man with pvc is goner vote in this election?in Igbo rural areas i lent 60% did'nt vote. In my humble opinion i think drastic measures is paramount.there's a need for a strong wave of arwearness to hit the ground running in the East.i think wat is helping the North is the media.and we can copy from them.lets put more effort in using the the redio stations across the land to educat our people.whe we unite against this unbecoming issues we can all win together.

I'm very glad with your honesty as per the bold. You and I had an argument where I mentioned something similar to the bold to u.

The average Hausa/Fulani no matter how poor or illiterate gets serious about elections. I wouldn't have registered in 2010 if not for the thought that I might suffer some consequences if I have any dealings with govt. It wasn't because I planned to vote but thank God it added to the votes GMB got. What right would I have to complain if I didn't register or vote?

Udengs Eradiri said "its only in this region(SS) that people expect to be paid to register and vote" with such mentality, how do you make your voice heard in the power equation? Until we southerners realise that democracy is a game of numbers, we would keep blaming everything except ourselves for our inability to make the change we desire.

I told my colleagues that gej will have problems because they and others don't have PVC but they confidently told me gej doesn't need votes to win. They believed as an incumbent president, the Army, police and INEC will work for his victory.

Well they're witnesses to how that confidence played out....

Adams Oshiomole once said sth I would always remember:"If a man says he is king,call him king, when he dies,we would know who he is".

I understand my bro

nortcentrallord:
I am well aware of that news. That was in 2013 and we all condemned that even thought is also well accepted that there are reservations to that law too. For example, matters bothering on national unity and security are off the FOI. Between 2013 and 2015, there has been a lot of transformation or gradual change as to the understanding of the FOI bill on both the side of the government and the press hence I haven't heard of such incident until recently where Ait was restricted to cover the president elect which clearly to me a direct payback to the incidents of the campaign period. I don't see anything wrong with AIT airing those documents during before the elections. As I said earlier, Ait is a media house and I expected apc to have even said they approached Ait to advertise or air some advocating documents but they refused. I never heard GEJ complaining or baring any media house. Even on social media, people call him all sorts of name not minding the Nigerian pride associated with the seat of the presidency. In a country Like Nigeria @ this stage, we need media houses like channels and we need more daring media house like Ait and sahara reports.

AIT told blatant lies against GMB, yet the good man regarded them as non existent. How can AIT air a documentary that portrays GMB as the killer of Fela's mother when every ediot in Nigeria knows the woman died in 1978? 6 years before GMB took office? How can they air a documentary insinuating that GMB killed his wife and daughter? Where is the honesty in their idiotic journalism?

Anyway, GMB didn't ask them to be barred. Overzealous aides did it and he has cleared the air. If he didn't complain during the campaigns, is it now that he has won that he'll be bothered? If they like, they can keep up with their false news, scoops and documentaries....Nigerians have options.

On your FOI issue, i keep wondering how true the gej admin is to FOI if they could keep the PWC report hidden from Nigerians including NASS for over 5 months despite all protests?

doctokwus:
Not to forget during GEJ's time several newspapers were physically confiscated and recently 2 aljazeera journalists were detained for days in Borno state,without even an apology from d military high command, talk less d CinC.
This is not a GEJ bashing thread,neither is it a praise thread for GMB,its just that I have not heard of any president,eventhough still president elect, having come out to literary endorse d right of journalists,despite some misgivings, to do their work,no matter where.
As I said I maybe mistaken in my assertion.

I understand bro. Don't mind the revisionists.

I just wanted things put in proper perspective before haters of GMB will write God to throw him in hell while GEJ gets bequeathed with a sainthood. We are still grappling with their delusions of a 'Nobel piss price' for him because he was forced to concede electoral defeat

Who knows what else they'll come up with?

Who said miracles do not happen??

Even Mark of the "telephones are not for the poor" fame finally identifies with the masses in their misery.

But is he just knowing?? After 16years as senator and 8 years as senate president?

Hypocrites in high places

Good thinking

nortcentrallord:
The FOI bill already granted that permission to the press so don't make it look like the statement by buhari was a landslide achievement of any sort.
Now that buhari has distanced himself from the actions of his aids as I expected him to, where are the blind supporters who feel 'Napoleon is always right'? I believe elections are over and we should leave the partisan thing alone rather than taking sides or else the reality will soon dawn on us.

See the FOI govt police doing their bit of 'Napoleon is always right'

http://www.punchng.com/news/police-detain-leadership-journalists/

Overzealousness can creep into subordinates a times. Cut GMB some slack. The guy has dropped his khaki uniform and military swagger stick. Let him be

ManUtdholic:
Inconsequential thread
Goodluck ursherd in d new dawn for press
So his official statement meant to quickly dissociated himself after testing d water and realised it was shallow has done nothing but to give him a benefit of doubt(which u don't need during gej administration) concerning his relationship with media

The gej govt had its moments acting like a dictatorship

http://www.punchng.com/news/police-detain-leadership-journalists/

Let's not become too hypocritical here

GEJ their hero.......BURUJI KASHAMU their role model.....SERIKI their mentor

See how much GEJ wasted on his failed reelection....

If their rigging plans had sailed through, this Seriki would have brought another bill of N700m claiming how much 'work' they did to 'win' Ogun for pdp

You guys must vomit the millions you chopped by fire by force
