Separation of powers. The president in his capacity can not choose the senate president. It is illegal. The senate president is elected on the floor of the chambers by a majority vote.

What an ignorant statement. Law maker that doesn’t understand the law.

Look at this one. It's like you haven't been to PortHarcourt before? Lol. Then you would know the meaning of kidnapping.

The state government are getting security votes. So what are they doing with their money? Abeg go and sit down in one place.

Kagawa10:
That's the problem with you guys. Always feeding on lies and your fears. Whether these fulani men were later released or not, what's important is there is now peace in the state. If Ortom had done such at the beginning, there wouldn't be so much death in Benue today. Fact is Ortom doesn't care about the welfare of the people in the state. A governor who has failed to pay workers salaries for years definitely doesn't have the people at heart.

Come to think of it, these fulani miscreants are no different from the miscreants in SS that kidnapps and kill. They are not different from the bandits in the North that kill their fellow Fulanis to steal their properties like we have in Zamfara. They are basically miscreants that need to be curtailed by the state government but people like yourself always make up bullshit just to induce fear into people's mind Abeg, let's do better.

Kagawa10:
Fact is the police won't work without incentives from the governors. Their salaries are payed by the federal government and as such are answerable to thy federal government alone. They ain't suffer heads that could be deployed anywhere by any governor except they are payed.

This same herdsmen issue happened in Ondo state recently but Akeredolu was quick to nick it at the bud. He formed vigilante group to work with the police who were also funded. A fora was formed which had the presence of the vigilante men, police and even the Miyetti Allah leaders included and they were able to decide ways to curb the mess and arrest the culprits which they did eventually. But I tell you this issue wouldn't have been easily tackled without enough funding from the state government. Had it been our state governor had waited on/cry to the FG to help, it would have amounted to nothing except to cause more uproar and sentiment from various sides.

That's why Ortom should be blamed for this, not Buhari. Ortom and his likes are just Useless.

I can bet you that as long as it's NTA, Buhari is already aware of the questions.
I can also bet you that it can never be aired Live. It may seem to Nigerians like it's live but it would have been coming delayed to allow for editing and cutting off of his goofs and obvious signs of senility. Why do you think buhari always goofs whenever he travels abroad? Because the likes of Shehu Garba, Femi Adesina or Festus keyamo can not get the foreign media to edit their interviews of him.

Even the presidential debate coming up, Buhari's coming is only premised on his aides and media handlers muscling the debate organisers like Momoh into giving them the questions ahead of time as expo. Should they fail at achieving this before the date, Buhari will not come

Today in history:
Do you remember the 2012 fuel subsidy removal rally and
strike?
If you have forgotten, it took place from Jan 6-12, 2012. It got
to a peak on Jan 8, 2012.
Background fact
January 1, 2012, GEJ led FG increased fuel pump price from
N65/ltr to N141/ltr so that subsidy can be totally removed!
Voila! # OccupyNigeria protests erupted in Lagos and some
other cities. NLC, TUC, Save Nigeria Group, civil society
organizations, Nollywood celebrities, ACN and opposition
Politicians etc took turns to address the rally at Gani
Fawehinmi memorial park at Ojora, Lagos to denounced the
subsidy removal. The strike paralyzed the country economy
for about one week.
In the midst of the strike, FG backtracked and reduced the
pump price to N97/ltr after series of negotiations with the
Labour unions to call off the strike.
Fast forward to 2015.
PMB led FG said subsidy was a fraud, that there is nothing like
subsidy. They promised to fix the refineries, that Nigeria won't
import fuel anymore. Has it been done? NO!
May 2016, PMB increased pump price from N97/ltr to N145/
ltr, claiming Subsidy has been removed. No rally, no protest,
no strike from actors of 2012 strike .....even from
Nigerians! # Jazzed ?
NASS found out that FG has been paying subsidy
unappropriated!
Suddenly, the lid broke, FG was paying subsidy , despite
claims of its removal!
FG claimed it was Nnpc that was paying and not FG
NNPC says they are not paying subsidy, but it's "differential",
after more pressure from suspecting public, they renamed it
"under recovery" .
Oil marketers threatened to stop importation of fuel in Dec
2018 if their "subsidy" payment was not paid. FG quietly paid
.
Guess what, this year, subsidy funds is in the 2019 budget!
N1.1trn! .. as they are tired of defending indefensible
Question: Why are we not buying fuel at N97/ltr all these while
(from 2016) when FG is still paying subsidy?
Where are SNG, NLC, TUC, Civil society groups, Nollywood
celebrities, eminent participants etc ?
Who is occupying Nigeria today?

DavidLion:
As a Yoruba man and one of those who voted out Jonathan, I wish to remind every Nigerian why we mobilized against PDP in 2015 for someone no sane man would have voted for in 2011. We voted Jonathan out because the level of corruption and Boko haram terrorism was already out of hand. No citizen should live with that and intact no one deserves to live with that. Back then PMB was the packaged by APC as the better option. Now we have tasted the APC administration for 4 years and we have discovered that it is one which is based on underground corruption (eg Ganduje), government irresponsibility towards terrorism (incessant Fulani herdsmen massacre of indigenous people), selective prosecution of the opposition for corruption, impunity, intolerance to criticism (such as we tasted early in the regime, oppression and brutal suppression (zamfara killings, ipob protesters, unarmed Shiite civilians), and many other antidemocratic practices and stances. In addition to all these points, the current administration is one marked by irresponsibility since inception, always blaming everyone else for glaring incompetence from Malians to PDP to Libyans to just about everyone else but themselves. We have to ask ourselves, should this continue, must this continue? No, Nigerians must keep voting out incompetence. We should wise up to the fact that its no longer about Buhari or Atiku or Okonjo or Hashim or whoever. Nigeria is about us: we the downtrodden people who are only useful to the politicians on election day and who are simply pawns and rungs on the ladder to success and power. I may not particularly like Atiku as a person, but I believe that for now his proposed policies are better for now. If after 4 years he proves to be a liar like this administration is, we simply seek a better option. Anyone educated enough to be on Nairaland should know this.

People fail to understand buhari is trying his best.
This man has taken Nigeria forward compared to GEJ time!
Sai baba till 2023
The only good leader in Nigeria history!

ZKOSOSO:
Buhari is in Choir Rehearsals......with Osinbade n OshimOLE.

Leading OshimOLE and Osinbade (wear where were) in Xmas songs

He doesn't care if Zamfara is taken by Fulanis Jihadists aka bandits.

Provided Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta states are intact.....

dalongjnr:
for those that doesn't understand, they protest and burned their LGC secretariat,blocked roads,burned tyres and destroyed public peace.
The rule for peaceful protest is very clear, u most write and notified the authorities (security) await their approval before the protest, so that security cover be provided for the protesters.
The security men are unprofessionally and doesn't applied rule for/of engagement. It's sad that the guys in uniform are killing the lives they are supposed to protect.

ARIINI:
Thank you for your response.
I strongly believe there no categories of truth. The truth is the truth.
We, humans, are the ones that paint the truth to suit our whims and caprices.

No where in the scriptures do we see where the kingdom is given to those who are "violent", or who resort to self-help. Thanks again.

ARIINI:
You do not protect yourself from evil, dear. That's God's business, not yours. And He's promised all manners of protection for his children.
At the very moment you accept God as your father, He stretches his protecting wings over you.

John 10:28-30
Psalm 127:1
Psalm 140:4
Psalm 91

May God bless you, dear
