What is the point of saving those huge sums in your foreign reserves when in actual fact you are still a consuming economy, what is the point of saving those huge sums when in all ramifications you are still going to dip your hands in there to offset some domestic challenges in the future because you refused to upgrade on your exports potentials over your import deficiencies. Get your PVC, Buhari must be kicked back to Daura.

Oblang:
And who is tagging yorubas hausa-fulani slaves? U mean those ipob nonentities who doesn't know what they want...

Yet you Mr Yoruba that claimed to know what you want in 2015 are now being embarrassed by your lord and masters the Hausa-Fulanis what a way to go

maasoap:
Well, I have this to say to them: if they have been paying 30,000 ghost police officers for so long, why can't them use this opportunity to employ additional real 30,000 police officers? And most of those ghost workers are usually on high salaries.

My brother you dey mind these bloody liars? Nothing like 30,000 yeye ghost workers here if there are they have been exposed during Jonathan's time and this useless government is only thriving on propaganda to appear they are working. A demonic government that is granting amnesty to Boko Haram, and even collaborating with them can never be trusted in the area of security.

AdamuAudu:
There is a saying that destiny can even be changed. Am wonderinf why apc has refused to change for better for once. As at today, no normal being will ever believe and take serious any stories from the apc government apart from the dye hard and core members like Lai Mohammed, Adesina, Garba Sheu etc. who will look straight into your eyes and say the colour of Nigerian flag is red, yellow and brown. Rubbish party with the most rubbish people.

God bless you, your family and your generations for your perfect understanding of the truth behind my submission and for saying it as it is. APC have been promising and failing and these low lifers want me to take such a miserable party on their words. No way

seunowa:
U are one of d reasons why ipob are tagged fools and low thinking pple..was he d only one absent at d meeting? So zamfara and osun state governors dat cud not make it to d meeting are also sidelined...slowpoke

So in your Mumu thinking now, Tinubu your god is now in the same league with Zamfara and Osun governors? I love your logic though not impressed. Comedienne of life you are

Sagay backs Danjuma’s self-defence advice, says law allows Nigerians to defend themselves

NEWS
Published on March 26, 2018
By Don Silas 

RELATED TOPICS: The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay, SAN, has backed the advice by a former Minister of Defence and an elder statesman, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (rtd.) that Nigerians should defend themselves against killers.
Recall that Danjuma had on Saturday at the convocation of Taraba State University called on Nigerians to use whatever means at their disposal to defend themselves against killers.

Reacting, Sagay told The Nation on Sunday that the law allows Nigerians to defend themselves from being massacred.
He, however, urged the Federal Government to investigate Danjuma’s allegations.
“General Danjuma did not say that the military is incapable. But he accused them of bias and not protecting the people deliberately. That’s a very, very serious accusation.

“And this is coming from such a senior man in Nigeria’s military – probably apart from former General Olusegun Obasanjo and General Yakubu Gowon, he (Dajuma) is the most senior former military officer we have – and he’s a man who has tremendous influence.

“He has held important positions – chief of staff, minister of defence – so, he won’t speak lightly. So, his allegation needs to be investigated.
“If there are elements within the military doing this, then the government has to take immediate steps to deal with them and put people who are responsible and patriotic in the positions.”
Asked whether resorting to self-defence by Nigerians would not result in anarchy, he said: “That’s an interesting point. It’s a point I’ve always made myself. It’s not an illegal measure for Nigerians to defend themselves. If you look at our criminal law, there is the principle of self-defence.

“If someone attacks you, and you feel endangered, and you defend yourself, and in the process you kill the person, the fact that you were defending yourself is a complete defence to any charge. The right already exists.

“So, I think what General Danjuma is saying is that instead of each individual exercising that right, they should begin to exercise it collectively in their communities. I think that’s reasonable too.

“There is breakdown of law and order if you’re in your house and someone comes and kills you. I think there will be less danger of breakdown of law and order if that person knows that the next time he comes to your house, all your neighbours would gather and stop him.

“So, I think it’s worse for people to lie down complacently doing nothing while they’re being massacred,” Sagay said.

delpee:
I'd rather have a young President in 2019. Recycled people should go and rest. I'm tired of the nation rotating in circles.

Go get your PVCs! Be active, join new and viable alliances/parties. Work from the grassroots. Hard work pays over time.

Mention that highly influential youth that you know that can defeat a Buhari in 2019 pr the party apart from PDP that can face APC headlong in a keenly contested election please.

Actuarydeji:
Tinubu is more intelligent than BM. He knows what he is doing.

You are one of the major reason why the Yorubas are tagged Hausa-Fulani slaves. Always running away from the truth when there is no point doing so just like how the elders did in yesteryears and it landed them in big poo. Tinubu has been sodomized by the Fulani or let me say his Fulani masters in Abuja.

Atiku is the best option for now at least you can hold him on so many things, let me borrow from a nairaland we here:


Atiku In His Own Words;

Below are what Atiku said with his own mouth and you have the right to query or question or probe him on this, you have your conscience intact, so you be the judge yourself;

 “People say I became rich in government. It’s a lie. I had hundreds of millions of dollars in assets declared in 1999. I was able to personally bankroll the Peoples Democratic Party back then, so surely, I was not poor.” (Atiku responding to the allegations that he enriched himself while in office as Vice President)

“I Go Dye, I’m not a messiah. I do not promise Eldorado or $1 = N1, but I always ask that we should look at the economic progress we made under my leadership and what I am doing in private business and judge me by those.”  (Atiku's response to "I Go Dye", a Nigerian popular Comedian, on why he is qualified and a better candidate to become President of Nigeria)

“As VP, I assembled what is arguably the best economic team ever in Nigeria. It was made up of young, world-class professionals, who came home to work. Some of those professionals are now political leaders, governors and world leaders in their own right." (Atiku's influence on the economic development of Nigeria as the Head of the National Economic Council revealed here)

 “I remember the only corruption indictment against me was a white paper which was cooked up by our own administration overnight to including the very EFCC that I helped found and other cabinet ministers, which I challenged in court. The court rightly dismissed all those indictments as being mere political, and till today nobody has ever indicted me of corruption.” (This was his defense against the indictment cooked up against him by Obasanjo and EFCC which is yet to be proved by EFCC till date in any Court of law)

“For example, between 1999 and 2003, oil prices then were hovering between $16 and $28 yet we managed to pay up salary arrears from decades back, clear up our national debts and build up foreign reserves. Our Gross Domestic Product grew at the fastest rate we’ve seen since the return to democracy.” (Despite decades of military  rule, the Obasanjo/Atiku era brought Nigeria out of the woods based on "working economic policies" Atiku helped set up)

 “I regret that I had that disagreement with my boss. Some say I was disloyal, but I looked at the events in Zimbabwe recently, and it gives me confidence that I did the right thing fighting the attempts to elongate the presidential tenure beyond eight years. If I did not win that fight, do you think we would be having a discussion on young people getting into leadership today?” (His stand on why he had to fight the illegal Third Term ambition of his former boss, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, which would have set a bad precedence for future administrations)

“I went to the World Bank and met a bright lady, convinced her to come back home, and she became a star in our government. To show you we had effective leadership, the same lady could not replicate her exploits under a different government,”  (On his discovery of the one and only Madam Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former, Minister of Finance)

 “In my home state of Adamawa, for example, I’ve created over 50,000 direct jobs and 250,000 indirect ones. We are the largest private employers of labour in the state, only second to the state government. It’s not a lot, but it does help reduce unemployment. Who do you think are holding those jobs? Yes, young people.” (This is Alhaji Atiku's direct and indirect impacts on employments as an individual)

"What is happening in Nigeria is that as a nation, we are caught up in a modern-day Malthusian Trap. For years, our population has been growing faster than our Gross Domestic Product, bringing us to a point where we have an ever-increasing population competing for resources that are not keeping pace with population growth." (Alhaji Atiku's submission on the state of the Nation under Buhari while making his keynote address at the  Silverbird Man of the year 2017 Awards Night)

"It may sound simplistic, but if Nigeria can assemble a leadership focused on getting us out of this Malthusian Trap by gradually reversing the trend where population growth exceeds GDP growth, many of these challenges we are currently facing will slowly but surely fade away." (Atiku's blueprint for the way out of our current surging populations versus our depleting Gross Domestic Products as a Country)

"This month of February 2018, according to the World Poverty Clock, Nigeria has just overtaken India as the world’s capital of extreme poverty. There are more extremely poor people in Nigeria than there are in India, a country that has six times Nigeria’s population." (Alhaji Atiku affirming the grim situation Nigerians found themselves in under the Buhari-led administration)

"After contracting for five consecutive quarters, Nigeria came out of recession in the second quarter of 2017 with a GDP growth rate of 0.55%. In the third quarter, we fared better with 1.40%. While this looks somewhat like we exited the recession, the reality is that when you factor in our population growth rate of 2.3%, which is one of the highest in the world, have we really exited a recession? Technically, yes, but in reality, it is doubtful." (Atiku's humble but concise statistical analysis of the true picture of our economic status as a Country)

“When people do not have jobs and the means to start a business are beyond their reach, they are incrementally much more likely to engage in criminal behaviours like terrorism, kidnapping, militancy and armed robbery." (Atiku bringing to the open a simple reason why violences have taken over Nigeria landscape)

“According to the African Development Bank, in 2017, 18 African countries grew their Gross Domestic Product above 5%. Nigeria, which was number one in 2014, was not amongst these nations. We must figure out what has happened in the intervening years between 2014 and 2018 and fix what went wrong." (This is the height of gross ineptitude on leadership as His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku, gave an expository revelation on how Nigeria fell from the top just within 3 years of APC's leadership)

“What happened to brilliant initiatives like the YouWIN programme which gave Nigerian youths the training and funding to start their own businesses?” (The One Million Dollar Question His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku is asking this rudderless APC's government)

“Let me say this: The Restructuring that I, Atiku Abubakar, envisions, will see no state receive less money from the federation account than it currently does. I hope that will ease the anxieties of some who oppose restructuring. Restructuring will not cheat you. It will free you." (Alhaji Atiku's stance on restructuring)

“When I was in government, we reduced recurrent expenditure by introducing the monetisation policy and by privatising many government enterprises, especially those that were consuming resources without generating revenue. Those policies have been bastardized today and we have seen a ballooning of our recurrent expenditure and shrinkage of our capital expenditure. We must return to the basics.” (Atiku showing the wrong approach of this APC's government in the area of fiscal policies)

“We have to enact laws to prevent leaders from diverting public funds from the public health sector to the treatment of the elite in the best hospitals abroad. If you can afford it from your own private resources, then pay for it. But do not make the tax payer pay for it." (This is Alhaji Atiku demanding that laws should be made to ensure that our leaders are made to pay for their health related issues anytime they seek medical attention abroad and not from public funds)

“We are in critical times, and as I conclude, I want to urge a paradigm shift in Nigeria. Our elite are treated in Europe. Big Brother Naija is being broadcast from South Africa and Nike is unveiling our FIFA World Cup Jersey in London. Is this the extent to which we have outsourced Nigeria? As far as I am concerned, if it concerns Nigeria, it must be done in Nigeria, not abroad. Not abroad.” (Atiku promoting "Made in Nigeria for Nigerians" ideology)

All What Atiku Is Saying Is, "Judge Me On My Track Records In Political And Business Careers And Not On Innuendoes"

buhariguy:
I am only replying from your signature

Then you don't really understand my signature then "Jesuslovesyou"

buhariguy:
if they can do this to my saviour Jesus Christ, after shouting hosanna, they forgot all the wonderful things he did, all the miracle.

But today it is the same idiotic pigs of Biafra and a failed PDP that hated

So you are now comparing Buhari to Jesus now? I never knew it has degenerated to this for you. It is well with your life

YAKUBU GOWON ADVICE TO BUHARI.

There was corruption in Nigeria when Awolowo built Cocoa House, TV station and the first university in Africa

There was corruption in Nigeria when IBB built Third Mainland Bridge, built Aso Rock, National Assembly Complex, turned Abuja into our Federal capital territory.

There was corruption in Nigeria when Obasanjo brought Gsm, banking reform, police reform, civil defense, There was corruption in Nigeria when Jonathan introduced BVN and PVC, built 12 new federal universities, revamped railway lines, made Our economy fastest growing in Africa & third in the world.

If anyone tell you the reason Buhari is not working is because he inherited corruption, tell them great leaders don't blame people and events for their failures. They simply accept responsibility and move on. Ask them, what has Buhari done after all the fake promise of fixing power in 6wks, reducing pump price to #45 naira, making N1 equal to a $ 1, stopping Boko Haram etc. It's a shame.

                    
The inferno truth is, corruption started from heaven when Satan violated a privilege given him. That never stop God's works.

He waited for God to create man and brought his lawlessness and corruption into the garden of eden.

God wasn't moved. He introduced a redemption plan; The Savior was born, sadly, Judas Iscariot was there.

Not discouraged yet, He gave us God the Holy Spirit.

If anyone tell you the reason Buhari is not working is because he inherited corruption, tell them corruption is rooted in the DNA of homo sapiens ( Latin: wise man ) because we are just mere mortal infected with a virus of good & evil.

Yet, great leaders don't blame people and events for their failures. They simply accept responsibility and move on.

#InecWillNotCountPrayerPointsButVotes. Please, strive and endeavor to collect your PVC.

buhariguy:
just imaging you be among the 70,000 fake officer, and buhari did this to you, how will hunger depart from your house.

I know you are one miserable sergeant Komo misbehaving up and down, we are talking about the contract scam of $26 billion at NNPC when your lord and master, Buhari is the minister of petroleum resources, we are talking of over 8 million souls once gainfully employed taking care of their families and loved ones suddenly flushed into the streets unemployed under your lord. We are talking of state of anarchy Nigeria has been reduced to under your lord. We are talking of extreme hunger and hardship in the land under your lord and master and here you are spewing nonsense with that your Mallam head and goatee

TheCabal:
Sorry, I do not drink alcohol. So, please pardon me for respectfully declining your invitation to beer parlor politics.

Unfortunately your lame attempt to dodge a simple chance to prove yourself right had been seen with your unnecessary excuse on your alcohol consumption. Sail on beer parlor man

Stupid and fake news that can't be verified, the foolish government is trying to divert attention from the real matters arising so as to project them that they are working when there is grim situations of hunger, poverty, insecurity etc on ground

TheCabal:
If APC can survive 2019, Nigeria is half way to the promise land.

PDP is the worst looser, I have encountered my whole life. And, the perpetrators, are getting so impatient they have begun to show their hands.

Like sharks smelling blood in the water. First it was Obasanjo, then IBB, then TY Danjuma. All these men are PDP founding fathers, paranoid because they have been severed from the umbilical cord from the Nigerian booty.

TY Danjuma, is one of the beneficiaries of the Abacha regime, he owns SAPETRO. And, of 2011 was on forbes as the 21 richest man in Africa, he has stakes in OML 130.

These old men have been growing fat while Nigeria was bleed dry and now things are changing; they fight tooth and nail.

Obasanjo personally snuffed the life out of Ajaokuta steel mill.

Probably you know more than what we don't know about this failure called Buhari, you may do well by scoring him on a scale of 10 on these;

1) Power supply
2) Agriculture
3) Electoral reform
4) Fight against Corruption
5) Fiscal policies
6) Employment Rates
7) Unemployment Rates
8 ) Educational Developments
9) Growth and Development Indices of Nigeria
10) Forex Impacts To Our Economic Growth and Development
11) Internationalizing Our Physical Potentials and Resources
12) Balance of Trade 
13) Security Framework of Nigeria
14) Decentralization of Powers To Accommodate grass root developments
15) Respect for Rule of Law
16) Working System of Government
16) People Oriented Policies Channelled Through the 3-Tiers of Government
17) Free Press
18) Buoyant Aviation Sector
19) Enduring Manufacturing Sector
20) Welfare State For the Citizenry

GavelSlam:
Get out.

It is fair game for you and your type to call one BMC but once we defend ourselves it's the biggest shame in the world.

Do your worst.

Easy General Gavel am I hitting you that hard? Did I call you BMC crew?

This is very nice and commendable

GavelSlam:
If only you could touch it.

What errant nonsense are you displaying here now the dude you are quoting may even be a senior man to you in all aspect but choose to be humble being on a faceless forum and the next thing "splash some miserable 12 pieces of $20 bills" on your table to impress? I am disappointed in your open gaffe, you better delete that miserable picture before you are roundly tutored and lampooned.

isbish:
Personally I feel safer now than when Boko Haram used to bomb every motor park, churches and mosques anywhere they feel like.

In my opinion, the issue of Fulani Hardsmen has been used as a political tool to distabilise this government esp since PMB is Fulani. However, I agree the Fulani Farmers clash had long been in existence and bulk of the blame is to the Fulani because of how their cattles have destroyed farm produce.

I feel sad for this country and we the citizens because our minds are often skewed and partially judgemental based on our likes and dislikes. On this note, we are a collection of failures as citizens because we are just a tool in the hands of these politicians to achieve their selfish goals.

The day we all realise and refuse to be used and dump will be the day our political emancipation will surface and lead us to voting good candidates to lead us.

You must have a special degree in lying almost related to that of the Devil!

What a way to go PDP it seems it is no more darkness in the camp of PDP, they are beginning to see the light now. I love this concept!

The choice is yours, security is everything! Think about it, if God had not secured Heaven with His Holy Angels you can imagine what Lucifer would have achieved during his "coup" with one third of heavenly angels he was able to convince. When you are in your own Country and you are treated like a leper, common criminal, third class citizen etc then it is time to sit down and weigh the options beyond political purview and consider the fact that "peace is the foundation of increase (development)". This simply means, as it is in Nigeria under Buhari, Nigeria is no longer a safe place for her citizens as you can see in the last drama at Dapchi where one of the deadliest terrorist groups in the world had the effrontery to enter a supposed "militarized zone" up North to drop off innocent girls they claimed they "kidnapped" in broad daylight after the army authorities claimed they allowed it so as not to "mess up" a planned agreement between them and Boko Haram ( a deadly terrorist cell) to enter the town uninterrupted 2019 is fast approaching and we are yet to see anything especially from the angle of the Chibok girls who have suddenly been forgotten perhaps because they were "kidnapped" under Jonathan that is why they (APC movies producers) have to act their own "Dapchi Girls Version" to score some political cheap points.

Is Nigeria a safe place to live under Buhari? you know the answers already. Reflect on this!

Nodogragra4me:
That's your next president come 2019

Tell that clown the truth. If he likes let him go and hang in his dingy room. Atiku is Nigeria next President!

........and this is what Osinbajo has been reduced to? The man is wise indeed

adadike:
The things we see in the creeks eh?

My dear no be small thing oo...... This is like play to the real show

Firstpage:
You wake up and sleep thinking about Tinubu. How I wish you could think about your father like this. His life wouldn't have been useless. Keep towing the same path.

Someone said you were raised a sodomized orphan so I can tell why you talk like a fatherless child.

Mumu news, no person will allow one Mumu Tinubu stooge in the person of Olusegun Abraham to become governor in Ondo State. Tinubu is going down across Southwest so also are his stooges.

Even the name alone Sule Lamido doesn't sound Presidential. Atiku is ok for me!

I thought this piece will be pushed to the front page for reference sake but I have been vindicated on the character, Buhari, right from the beginning. Lalasticlala, do it now!

This is it! It is crystal clear that more dissenting voices will start to spring up to cause more confusion on the fake Dapchi girls return, imagine this badly scripted play by a moronic government. Boko Haram had been technically defeated this I have been hearing since early 2017 and yet this same Technically Defeated Boko Haram (TDBH) have the nerve to drive in broad daylight (in a place expected to be a militarized zone) to drop off some girls they "kept" to their master in Aso rock for a job well done. It shall not be well with any soul chanting 'Sai Buhari till 2023', Amen!

They will be firmly resisted come 2019 this I can assure you just keep exposing them the compilations are ongoing. It shall not be well with any soul that want this demonic government of tormentors headed by the despot, Buhari, to continue till 2023. Amen

TonyeBarcanista:
Northerners are for PDP

My brother you just shut up that clown's loose mouth with that intimidating picture truly, PDP is the party to beat in 2019!
