I never understood why he previously included ChannelsTV and NTA as fellow respondents to his suit?

Is it a crime for a news station to report what the police force disclosed that Mr So So So is wanted by the police force? Or is he saying they shouldn't have reported what was factual news coming from the police HQ that they are declaring a certain man wanted? Or did the police ever deny that they declared him wanted as reported by those news stations?

His lawyer has suddenly grown some common sense and rightly revised the respondents to the suit as only the Police IG and the Force PRO.

Yes it is, but we launched it when we played England at Wembley in November 1994.

We changed our kit after the 1994 world cup from Adidas to Nike.

I believe we launched our Nike jersey when we played England at Wembley in November 1994.

Similar to our very first Nike Jersey in 1994. Same design type of Yellow and Black worn by Dortmund in the mid 1990's.

LordAdam16:
Buhari cannot arrest an ex-President. No one you elect in 2019 would be able to take us to that stage.

These things take time. Our democracy is only 19 years for crying out loud, and we are a nation clearly divided on religious, ethnic, and ideological lines. Where will you start? Or will you arrest GEJ and OBJ and leave IBB, Abdusalami, Gowon et al?

How will you convince the people in the Niger Delta and SW? How are you going to quash the inevitable uprising and politicians (and gun runners) taking advantage of the violence to perpetuate their sinister goals?

You guys talk like buff**ns like this is Europe. This is Africa where dictators rule, we hate ourselves, and can't seem to agree on anything.

Just because you live in a city and went to an underfunded tertiary institution does not make you a Gandhi.

For as long as I can remember, I've been voicing it here that we should restructure, that our problem is structural. You won't see that. Even before the recent uproar about the herdsmen menace from the Middle Belt, I've been voicing it here about the growing problem and how no one seems bothered. And how in my state for example, they receive regular supplies in the forest, harass farmers, rape women and even extort community members to give them permission to farm. This has been happening in my state since I learned about it in 2016.

But no, I'm concerned about GEJ who is not contesting in 2019. You are a F**L!

You think we all have the luxury to play bet9ja with lives and the economy. I live in the safest area of my state and I do not earn in Naira. I literally don't give a sh*t who becomes president. It doesn't even remotely affect my ability to earn or survive.

From OBJ to Yar'Adua to GEJ, I saw progress. We were going somewhere. We were solving the electoral quagmire, slowly improving infrastructure, diversifying the economy (oil represented 9% of the GDP), improving agriculture, and what not. They all made mistakes, but they also had their achievements, and each of them was an improvement over the predecessor. Then I see simpletons like you take us 30 years back because you are impatient, unrealistic punks with the IQ of an orangutan.

You want to live in a perfect world without doing the hard work. You think America, Britain, South Korea, China are all where they are by always making perfect decisions. Mao killed over 100m people. Washington scammed his soldiers of land owed them and had a black slave. The Chaebol in South Korea at one time controlled 75% of the economy, and to this day hold undue leverage over the government.

Yet here in Nigeria, you vote for a senile bigot who was sponsored by corrupt individuals and you expected him to arrest same corrupt individuals. How stup*d can you really be? You guys talk like children who have never followed the developmental progress of any current industrialized nation. Uninformed, uneducated riffraffs!

-Lord
You claim you saw progress from OBJ to Yar'Adua to GEJ? Yet the foreign reserves built by OBJ from $3b+ to $45b+ despite still paying $18b as foreign debt following $12b debt relief, and which Yar'Adua moved from $45b to $47b despite spending about $16b to defend the economy following the global economic crisis of 2008 - 2009, was what a clueless Jonathan reduced to $29b/$30b despite earning more from Crude Oil sales than all previous presidents combined between 2010 and 2015, with crude oil selling at over $100+pb for 4years out of his wasteful 5years.

That situation above is what you call progress that included the Jonathan regime?

So why didn't your master Jonathan restructure despite your wailings then?

So our democracy is only 19yrs so we need to wait till 200yrs to get to where US is now, such that by then we would still say our democracy is only 219years old while the USA is 400+years? Must we reinvent the wheel or do we not have a constitution to follow?

You are the dream citizen of a useless government. Always ready to launder the excuses made, because you also benefit from a system that is still deliberately "young and learning". You as a leader can never inspire any confidence in the citizenry - little wonder you would love an ineffectual buffoon president to continue in office.

And yes I hate Jonathan for the useless person that he is. That same uselessness and cluelessness he used to approach all national matters including the same Fulani herdsmen terror that statistically led to more deaths under his regime than we have had in this current useless regime, made even the Christian parts of middle belt sack the same Christian they had voted into power as president.

To think this was the same retar.d I had campaigned for on social media when the Northern cabal working with Turai Yar'Adua had sidelined a vice president who should already be working in active president capacity. However, within 8months of his 1yr inherited presidency, I had seen his many follies and heard the many lies of his regime to know that this was a national disaster about to happen if elected to a full 4years term in 2011. Jonathan did not disappoint me in being weak and corrupt. He disappointed those who voted for a Christian and a Southern minority, but they rectified their earlier mistake and sent him back to his village where an educated dunce can afford to be king without wrecking the country and celebrating corruption as if it was a beloved endangered specie even while campaigning for reelection. Just as Buhari did not disappoint you, he disappointed those who saw him as the last hope of his decayed generation of politicians. He has been weighted and been found to be utterly useless, waiting to be transported in a wheelbarrow back to his village where he can be whatever he chooses to be without constituting a nuisance to the growth of the country.

Today, even a useless Buhari has managed to put our foreign reserves back in the 40s of billion USD, to the shame of the clueless moro.n whose cabinet employees convinced that if $20b that ought to accrue did not accrue as alleged, then America must know about it because dollars is their currency. As such no money was missing since the Americans have not declared their currency as having a shortage of $20b, so the president should disregard such allegations. The dunce fell for it and embarrassed himself on national TV.

Buhari is a disgrace and I hate him the same way I hate any useless employee who has been afforded the opportunity to make a deep impact but disappointed without remorse, but never you try to whitewash the moro.n who was rightly sacked by those who were disappointed in their decision to vote him into power on sentiments of "I had no shoes".

Again I repeat, you are not bothered that corruption is ingrained in our DNA or that the government is unserious about fighting it. Your only grouse is that the party you love and through which you have access to the proceeds of corruption, is no longer in power and you are now angry as you are hungry. You have no positives to contribute to national discourse, just regrets that the corrupt Jonathan was not allowed to continue in power so that public money will continue to flow, while the foreign reserves dry up to zero, and the government continues borrowing money to pay federal civil servant's salary.

The dude has no shame.

He does not even care that corruption has continued thriving under Buhari. His only grouse is that Jonathan should have remained there so that corruption can thrive without the hypocrisy evident in the Buhari regime.

Is it a crime if Buhari could have taken us to the stage where an ex president can be arrested and where corruption at the very corridors of power is not tolerated. Buhari could have but he has refused and has become a failure.

But this dude is not even desirous of such a socially and democratically developed Nigeria. He has no positivity when it concerns his own country. All he wants is "let us all be corrupt without restrictions". "And let the political party for which I am a sycophant, be the corrupt government in power so that my hungry stomach can be fed"

That is all he stands for, nothing else, nothing positive and selfless. His agony at not having Jonathan remain in power knows no bounds.

You funny Nigerians always decide when it's favorable to classify and individual as igbo and when not to...on a normal day half of those men you mentioned above there won't be classified as Igbos by you, you will classify them as niger deltans.

The truth will always remain the truth... calculate the percentage of the Nigerian leaders that have ruptured this geographical region called Nigeria, you will find out my initial post stands.
Where did I classify any of the people I mentioned in my first paragraph as Igbos? I only gave you a litany of looters who are neither Yoruba or Hausa-Fulani that only came to your mind because of the news report you read.

While I stated clearly that the looters who have been ruling Abia state are Igbos.

I also hope that when you read about Olisah Metuh's N400m and other hefty sums of money he is being charged of laundering, you were quick to post that Igbos have been the ones looting Nigeria dry?

Or did an Igbo have to be president for Metuh or Anyim to have joined the looting of Nigeria?

Or do you want me to direct you to the post of a notable Igbo tribalist who tried to prove that Igbos have had better political power in Nigeria than Yorubas, but only ended up proving that Igbos shouting marginalization are only shedding crocodile tears and by extension had contributed more than Yorubas to the mismanagement of Nigeria?

The Two ethnic groups that doesn't have to be forgiven for the embezzlement of public fund by other ethnic groups in Nigeria are Hausa-fulani and Yoruba.

These two ethnic groups are the greatest problem of Nigeria in all sincerity. Nigerian political corrupt practices started with these two ethnic groups in all sincerity.
You have forgotten Olisah Metuh, Tony Anenih, DSP Alamieyeseigha, James Ibori, Anyim Pius Anyim, and Diezani Allison-Madueke are not Yoruba or Hausa-Fulani?

Or no be Igbo men dey rule for Abia state since 1999?

Okotie Eboh who as a minister was already stealing public funds and also converting government property as his own private holdings even before independence, is neither Yoruba or Hausa-Fulani.

Azikiwe who was already fingered in corrupt practices with his own bank as a premier of Eastern region prior to independence, was also not Yoruba nor Fulani.

You just like ranting without basis. Haba!

Dem use am swear for you?

So because there are fanatical Christians, it's okay to vote in an Islamist in a secular country. Your stupidity never fails to amuse me.

And what makes you think any Nigerian, dead or alive, can arrest an ex-President? Why are you so annoyingly naive? Nigeria never reach that stage, you simpleton. No wonder you believed Buhari will end corruption. DUNCE!

If you don't answer my questions, I'll just keep striking through your replies. I answered your questions, answer mine or run away like the dullard you voted for who was scared sh*tless to have a debate.

Buhari relied on morons like himself to take power in 2015. We'd continue exposing your folly. You want to remove Buhari with your one inconsequential vote. Awon noisemaker!

-Lord
So you believe Christians have a right to be fanatical, while Muslims must be moderate? Or a Christian president who was gun running with the private jet gifted to the CAN president is a good choice in a secular country

Again you do not surprise me that you believe it is an impossible task to arrest an ex president when such has been found culpable for corruption while in office. I already said that you do not aspire to anything noble, patriotic or selfless. Your only grouse is that your own camp of thieves are out of power. That is your only grouse. You do not care anything for rule of law or patriotism. Your hunger and insatiable greed can never allow you to be objective about any matter.

Jonathan also relied on moro.ns like you in 2011 despite our pleas that his 1yr presidency had shown him unfit to rule Nigeria. Those who were objective realised their folly and sacked the same clueless man they had earlier voted despite our pleas. Now another retar.d is at the helm, and he will also be sacked without any apology given to the previous retar.d that was rightfully sacked, nor will any remorse be shown his sycophants who are now hungry and cannot understand why they must not eat from a Nigeria that must remain corrupt for their own benefit.

Can you remind me the presidential debate that Jonathan attended in 2011. Was he scared shitless then, yet you still voted for him, despite knowing he was just an educated dunce?

I even recall that sometime in 2008/2009, a notable newspaper had an article where it reported that some Bayelsan women went to visit the family of vice president Jonathan in Aso Rock. Upon enquiring from the educated illiterate wife where her husband was and how life in the presidency was faring, Patience Jonathan lamented that her husband was busy reading newspaper as that was the job the power hungry Turai Yar'Adua had assigned to Jonathan. Even Turai saw that the PhD wielding Jonathan was an educated dunce that had to be brought up to speed on national and global affairs that required an intelligent mind. Jonathan's wife eventually dwarfed Turai in being hungry for power when her own husband became president.

You are a disgrace to every sane mind that believes the world can always be better than what they inherited. Your mental shackles can never be broken.

All you cry about everyday of your miserable life is that a shamelessly corrupt Jonathan was not allowed to continue.

Why are you so miserable that you did not have a 2nd term to benefit from the corruption of Jonathan?

And who told you we needed his apology as the grand patron of corruption, when we knew we could sack him as we bloody hell did? Did his campaign for re-election that was hinged on projecting himself as a lover of corruption, stop a corruption riddled Nigeria from sacking him?

The patriotic people that sacked Jonathan whose cluelessness made the very regions that had voted him in 2011 to rather vote Buhari in 2015, are also determined to sack Buhari who has also shown that he is as useless as the corrupt Jonathan

Cry like a baby from now till forever, Jonathan remains a useless human being who was sacked and who a useless Buhari refused to prosecute. Jonathan will never come back to office, please try and deal with your misery.

His civil servant wife is still fighting over ownership of tens of millions of dollars that should be her retirement benefit from civil service?

Olisah Metuh is still suffering for the billionaire status Jonathan almost made him.

Kindly answer the below puzzle.

If Olisah Metuh and Tony Anenih both insist they gave their account details to Jonathan, how did the NSA get this account details to pay public funds into those accounts?

Is the ONSA the personal bank of Jonathan?

When will your hero of democracy go and provide his input having been subpoenaed upon the request of Olisah Metuh who is dying slowly. Or is your hero of democracy scared of an institution of a democratic society?

Awolowo was the premir of the Wester region and ZIK at the same time was the premir of the Eastern region during regional administration in Nigeria.

Awolowo achieved many Firsts in Nigeria from the first TV station, first skyscraper, first modern stadia, industrial estates like Ikeja, Ilupeju, Mushin, Matori, Apapa industrial estates, these estates are still responsible for a huge chunk of Nigeria's industrial output. Lagos state is Nigeria's industrial base because of Awo's vision, competence, and superior management skills. These achievements are yet to be replicated by any government in Nigeria, state or federal.



ZIK as the premiere of the eastern region achieved nothing, I mean nothing, he left then nothing, no industries, no commercial or economic achievements and this is the reason why generation after generation of SE people must leave the SE to work, find jobs and seek survival in the SW. Their forefathers and past generations ate from Awo's achievements and the present generation must also leave their towns and villages to look for their daily bread in the SW.


The only thing they are ahead of is their own delusions and flawed imagination.
So in essence, Zik contributed to making his tribe a clan of refugees who must forsake the wretched homeland for greener pastures in the midst of those they hate, but who they hope will tolerate them.

The Igbo men were celebrating an achievement of attending a black university that was irrelevant then and has continued to be an irrelevant university till today.

Meanwhile at that same time, even Yoruba women were already attending world renowned universities in the UK, talkless of the Yoruba men who had been attending world class universities and contributing to the growth of Yoruba land before the 1900's.

Those Universities ranging from Cambridge to Oxford, to London, to Edinburgh, are still world renowned till today and rank way higher than some Negro university that was and remains unspoken.

Even Femi Fani Kayode's grandfather was already educated as a lawyer at Cambridge long before Azikiwe found himself wandering through a Negro school in the USA. At the time Yoruba's were studying in notable schools in the 1870's, the Igbos did not even know how to read and write. By the time Yoruba's already had 2nd generation doctors and doctorate engineers before 1900, the Igbos had only started wearing the socks of the British on their heads. By the time the Yoruba's were already clamouring for a University in Yorubaland, the Igbos had only began coming to Lagos to work as houseboys for the British colonial officers.

if Azikiwe wanted to assist his fellow Igbos to attain foreign university education, why not put them on a higher pedestal than the unknown university he attended? Then he even had to gloat about such mediocre achievement in his own newspaper?

Like I will always say, I still blame Ajayi Crowther for teaching Igbo bushmen how to letter their own language. Else, we would have not had any catching up that has always occupied the Igbo mind. A catching up that China Achebe was also ecstatic about.

Same old same old... No head is going to roll for this.... The already stolen money shall still be re-stolen.

GEJ was called clueless because ppe believe he was never aware of most of the evils done under his nose.....but to say Bubu is yet to wrap up prosecution on any corruption case, speaks volumes about someone who's sole campaign mantra was kwarupshion.

As a matter of fact, GEJ was bold enough to at the long run, cut Oduah down.... Maina, ex SGF... all of them full ground.
GEJ at the long run after over 12months had passed since she was investigated by the HOR, he cut Oduah down into a PDP senate ticket that led her straight to the Senate Chambers instead of a criminal prosecution.

What a rewarding way to be cut down for corruption?

He then cut up a corruption convict and former political mentor called DSP Alams, and ensured he got a senate ticket of the PDP in Bayelsa.

If we want to talk about those who were bold to sack their own cabinet employees and senior government officers, we will first mention Obasanjo, whisper Yar'Adua, then hiss Jonathan and Buhari.

Everybody knows the true answer to your question. And this guy was initially given options to voluntarily return his discovered loot, bit by bit just like others on plea bargaining. But he was full of sh!t, was arrogant until the offer was taken off the table.
He arrogantly demanded to be taken to court. That he rightfully earned money from Jonathan for a publicity project he did for Jonathan and for which he gave his bank account details to Jonathan, but he did not reject or protest when his account was credited by the ONSA.

Upon reaching court he began all manner of evasive tactics like "the judge was my law school classmate", " I need medical care abroad", etc.

When he eventually realised he was alone in deepshit, the arrogant Metuh started begging to be allowed to return the corruption money he got from the ONSA. A priviledge that had already been taken off the table.

Now despite employing the power of the courts to get Jonathan to testify as a witness, Jonathan has abandoned him as no one is ready to admit that they willfully facilitated a corrupt transfer of public funds meant to fight terrorism, into the account of a publicist who had done a private job for candidate Jonathan.

Charly68, it is too late to beg to return money you had been begged for long to return. Metuh stood his ground and requested for the court, now he his courting justice.
