Can you read again what you just typed?

Someone complained that access to his home is blocked and you are writing this?

Will the Party replace his car if he parks in another street and it gets stolen?

There should be a limit to partisanship!

if your car gets stolen,
take it as national sacrifice.
people even sacrifice thier lives for things very inconsequential compared to democracy.

are the pdp people riotous, stealing and raping women?
no?
them support and encourage civil society in your little way.

if it were an owanbe now, you would have gone to get your best agbada,
and joined the party.

we know but where is your proof?

for you to know, that i know what i am talking about,

there is white powder on the mirror.

IF THOSE LIVING IN NE ARE PART OF NIGERIA,
THE PRESIDENT SWORE TO PROTECT THEM.
IF HE CAN NOT, HE MUST PROVIDE MEANS FOR SELF DEFENCE.
IF HE DOES NOT, IT MEANS BOKO ARE IN CHARGE.

you are making a lot of noise and smoke,
but,
you are not making sense.

nigerians, in all parts of the country, are under constant attack by criminals like boko haram.
if you want the gun laws changed, then tell your riotious representatives to amend the law.
if you want your house burnt,
not even FDNY can help you.

did they arrest amaechi too?
he is the grand patron of cultists!

Olaolufred:
WHEN NIGERIA SOLDIERS WERE IN THE THREE STATES, BOKO HARAM DO KILL OVER 100 SOMETIMES.

I WILL NOT BEG EBELLE TO STOP THE SOLDIERS FROM LEAVING. BUT HE MUST PROVIDE AMMUNITIONS AND ALLOW EXTERNAL SOURCES TO PROVIDE AMMUNITIONS FOR THE POEPLE OF THESE THREE STATES.
THEY WILL DO BETTER THAN OUR SOLDIERS IF EQUIPPED.

HOWEVER, I WANT TO BELIEVE THE STORY IS UNTRUE, BUT IF TRUE, GOOFLUCK IS JUST LIKE A SCRAP OF ABANDONED RUSTY OLD CAR.
NOT FIT FOR THIS GENERATION.

do you want the soldiers or do you not?

guns are sold in the market.
our famed hunters and vigilantes have them.
go and get yours the way they got theirs and stand and fight boko haram.

So sultan write ISIS
and no advice Boko Haram wey dey him door moth?

star of david are two opposed triangles superimposed on each other.
there are no such symbols on [b]any [/b]Naira notes.

Is it not 200 again?
I had thought by now the number would have reached 2000!
I hope you are not counting anybody that has defected?
All defectees have case to answer.

kalu, your money o ti lo
(your money is gone).

By our constitution, the reason for the speaker's defection is recognize. Based on the current position only two arms of our government can remove the speaker.

I have more regard for the chief of my husband's village than for the amir of Kano or any other distant chief.

Tambuwal is free to defect and associate with any group of his choice.
However, in this instance, he has to vacate the pdp house of representatives seat.
A court has ruled there is no division in the pdp.


You guys are getting as ridiculous and lawless as boko haram.

corperscorner:
I think you are being misinformed here...

The action of the police is no where near justifiable 'cos I presume you as a person would feel bad if your gateman decides to lock you out of your house on the claim of getting an order from above.

Secondly, had it been the lawmakers never made that move to dash into the house at the time they did. Nigerian politics would have taken a totally different turn now.

Now a little education for you my dear; the intention of the President was to keep the lawmakers outside the complex so there would be an avenue to carry out an impeachment proceeding which would remove Tambuwal from being the speaker of the house.

Knowing fully well that Tambuwal who just defected to the APC is being seen as a threat to the so called President.

The police on the other hand are claiming they acted in response to previously given intelligence.......

Now the question is; who gave them that intelligence? If the response to the intelligence was to debar the lawmakers from gaining entry to the house, how did David Mark and some PDP lawmakers find their way in earlier.

Dont you think it would be more appropriate if such claimed intelligence report is being channelled towards the abduction of the 200 Chibok girls.

what those crazy reps did is no different from agberos engaging police in a free-for-all.
I do not know whether to praise the police for keeping calm in front of extreme provocation or lambasting them for lack of robust enforcement of the law.
If you feel that your rights have been infringed upon, you go to court. You do not resort to jungle justice.
If the PDP reps had decided to meet force with force, do you think tambuwal's thugs would survive?

And Tambuwal is no longer a member of the house; no body is talking of impeaching him.

LFJ:
Whether the party is divided or not is not what Jonathan or anybody can act upon to remove the speaker, only the court of law can rule on that. That is while those who are intelligent enough are surprise at the reason while it so hard for Mr. President to apply wisdom instead of resulting to militant approch in solving constitutional issue.

you do not need any court to act on the provisions of the subsection.
Once a member defects, with no division in his party, the member ceases to be a member of the house and should leave.
the speaker then declares his/her seat vacant.

In Tambuwal's case, his seat shall be declared vacant at the next seating of the house.
shikena.

The house of Representatives is bigger than Tambuwal.
oppostion reps should stop dragging the house in the mud because of a man with questionable credentials.

pendicle:
What really are you lacking? Nutrients or comprehension?


Who declared his seat vacant? Oshiomole? The Edo speaker? The State CP? The thugs or political followers of the APC?

If a court as your clearly posted declared his seat vacant, it is left for him to seek redress and appeal. If what you posted yourself have no meaning to you how else will someone else educate you.

Let PDP go get a jugdement declaring hiS SEAT vacant even if na SHARIAH COURT, so far na court that is all.

A COURT NGWAKWE and not the Police IG or the DSS.

a court has already declared seats of defecting representatives vacant.
Tambuwal was the one that failed to declare the seats vacant.
do you want to re-invent the wheel?

If you defect, and the appropriate subsection applies to you, you are no longer a member of the house.
Infact, you will not show up at the next seating of the house when the "speaker" will declare your seat vacant.

In tambuwal's case, the house has to seat in his absence,
declare his seat and the seats of any other defaulters of the law vacant,
then proceed to elect a new speaker while INEC would schedule bye-elections to fill the vacant seats.

nduchucks:
Both Akinfenwa and Omisore are convicted criminals. OP admires them

who send Senator Akinfenwa, an Awolowo disciple, to jail and for what?

sophistication!

nedu2000:
I would expect the president to act 'less democratic' and show some veto power

and expose our troops to accusations of ethnic cleansing and war crimes?
One expects the Representatives to have asked the troops what hey need to wage the war better.
Perhaps more stringent State of Emergency than the president was asking for.

This APC are boko haram fifth columnists.
Any time the NA has boko haram on the ropes, the APC will rescue them.
Just now the NA has mobilized and is sweeping BH from Mubi and environs, BH 2 (APC) strikes again.
The funny thing is that they do it all in plain sight:
1) claim BH insurgency will ned when they win elections
2) tie NA hands up anytime they are dealing with BH.

it is a pity.

APC has pulled the rug from underneath the feet of Tambuwal.
What face would Tambuwal use to talk to the press about his membership of the House of Represenatatives when the APC is contesting the membership of some other defectees?

The simple truth is that all the legislators that defected from the pdp are all gone.
I am just sorry for them.
When the house of representatives resume, tambuwal will enter a black maria if he shows up.
Subsequently all the Reps who have prima facia cases, who defected from undivided parties, will be kindly asked to excuse the house for deliberations to continue.

focus7:
guy we are smarter than that. What do you expect Ribadu to say now that he's a lap-dog to GEJ, except you wants him to be strangle to death. Beside Ribadu is not a saint, record shows that he's double mouth.

very soon, saint Buhari will come out to give Jonathan a clean bill of health!
Afterall, Buhari told us all: Abacha is not kworrupt!

PerfectlyPerfect:
can anyone recommend new weapon upgrades for the military?

Everybody would like new toys.

The NA is adequately equipped to handle bokoharam.
They just need better concentration of men and equipment in the right places.
Or, they should stop allowing boko haram to decide the time and place of the battle.

The NA keeps allowing BH to recon isolated NA unit, then swoop on them with overwhelming force.

In Konduga, although BH still decided the time and place of battle, the NA was able to concentrate its forces: the place was a road between Konduga and Maiduguri.

In Mubi, BH decided the time and place. The NA was unable to concentrate its forces since there are numerous approaching roads to Mubi. The NA defenses collapsed without a shot being fired.

The NA needs to identify the enemy, locate them and take the battle to them, with artillery and pincer moves.

olapluto:
No, it is not just Ali Sheriff. Check out other PDP governed states. They seem to always have this thug back up. When PDP held sway in the SW, thugs and NURTW were in charge.

Were the gang wars a result of ACN's strategy to undermine the PDP leadership in the SW?
The current lawlessness and assassinations in Ekiti point that Tinubu's followers are versed in the acts of chaos.

focus7:
So Jonathan has a long history with corruption? No wonder he paralysed EFCC and ICPC immediately he assumed power, no wonder protects corrupt individuals, no wonder he pardoned Bode George and Alaimaesigha and even called him his mentor. Jonathan is the supreme master of corruption.

Saint Ribadu has proclaimed no such incident happened.
Do not make up facts to suit your imaginary world.

What has this [b]ALLEGED [/b]incident got to do with the then Governor Jonathan not running Bayelsa well?

Do not forget he met a full blown insurgency by MEND when he assumed office and the rest of Nigeria was suffering from depleted oil revenue.
Governor Jonathan single-highhandedly brought the insurgency to an end and that was why the political intelligentsia promoted him to vice president.
The problem with some of you is when you eat bellyful, you forget how hard life is.
And when you are hungry, you forget it takes effort to cook.

Obviously, many of our countrymen and women cannot reason.
The fact that we hear a lot of disinformation from official and suspicious sources should have made us all wary.
But see, a lot of us have swallowed the unverified and un-collaborated "story" hook, line and sinker.

It is like when someone is accused of witchcraft and people let their imagination and fears run wild.

walemoney007:
is not possible for an ijaw man,itsekiri,benin,efik,ikwere etc to live togeda..

we do not know that.
what we know is that ijaw, itsekiri, benin, efik, etc cannot live in peace with igbo, yoruba, hausa and so on.

Wetin persin no go see for nairaland, op did you post the wrong article or is it that thing again?

I am going to impeach him!
How can he allow this fulani to be killing our people anyhow?
he is a goner!

Recently, Chief Akande claimed that Senator Omisore borrowed from their campaign fund in 1999. As an insider, could you shed light on what happened?

Akande is a pathological liar. He is my personal friend. We were very close in government. To have said that, I think he is a disgrace to our generation.

I was the chairman of the party in Osun State. In the first place, I made Akande the governor. If I had insisted I wanted to be governor, we would have gone to primaries and he wouldn’t even contest, because he ran away as soon as he left prison. He said he wouldn’t play politics again. Then, I was bringing our people in Osun State together, first in my house in Ibadan. Then at a time, we had to move to Ayo Fasanmi’s house in Osogbo, because we said it would not be good for Osun State political affairs be decided in Oyo State.

So, I brought all of them together in the days of Abacha. Then, the people said I should be the chairman. And I said no; Akande who had been the deputy governor and vice-chairman of Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) should automatically be chairman in Osun State.

Then I led a team of three: Professor Kayode Adedeji and Sola Akinwumi, to meet Akande in Lagos to ask him to come back. He said he didn’t want to participate in politics again. After I had organised everything and the ban on politics was lifted, Akande now came; and I still gave him the chairmanship.

We called the meeting of state congress to Osogbo. And I remember that Akande had once told me that I would be the governor of Osun State. Let me not go into the detail, because he ditched me; though I don’t mind because I never wanted to be governor. So, we called the meeting of the congress at Osogbo Presidential Hotel. Then, they said those of us who wanted to be governor should raise our hands. Because he had spurred me on earlier, I raised my hand.Omisore, Lere Adebayo raised their hands; nine of us. Then, Akande suddenly raised up his hand; the man that told me to go and be governor; I was surprised.

Then, they asked us to go into a room and come out with one name. When others had gone, I called Akande aside and said Bisi, do you want to be governor? He said Moji, mi I fe se, sugbon won ni kin se (I don’t want to do, but I was asked to do it). I said ok, do you want? He said yes and I said it was well, because I have been praying to God to let me know if I should be governor. I said thank you God, you don’t want me to be governor.

Then when we got into the room, we decided to pick one person and I told them that being the oldest and the one who started the political movement, I would explain the hierarchy. Papa Awo was the founder of Action Group (AG) and he became premier. He was founder of UPN and he became presidential candidate. Bola Ige was chairman and he became governor. So, the man who automatically becomes our chairman takes the party’s ticket. But I, Akinfenwa, step down for Bisi Akande. Akande nearly collapsed. Then Omisore said aah, eyin agbaagba yi, e o dara o; ibi ti e gba yo si wa yi o dara o (you these elders have shortchanged the younger ones). So, all other stepped down for Akande, except two; Salami and Biola Morakinyo.

Then I called Salami outside and begged him. I said when you wanted to be governor under zero party, I sponsored you. We have a system. Then, he said akuko nla o fe ki kekere ko (the mighty are subduing the vulnerable). The he said he had stepped down. You know when I was senator, he was also a senator. I was the AD leader in the Senate. And we always held meeting in my office.

Morakinyo too, I begged him and prostrated for him; he insisted and said we had to go to Ibadan to settle it at Bola Ige’s home. Then, I wrote a communiqué; the decision of nine of us; we all signed it and that was how Akande became the candidate.
