Disinfectant or shine a light in the lungs.
It is what it is.
It'll be gone by Easter. When it gets warm. Xi told me.

To summarise......" And nothing will happen..."

Fayemi sez as President he would ask these retiring failures to name their successors.
In other words he will choose their protégés to continue failing.
Does Fayemi have a mind of his own ? Or is everything to him abt media image and "progressive" positioning ?
A completely gutless ditherer.
He'll be as bad as PMB, just spks better.

Top 2 in worst gov league table.
And that swing has perhaps 5 degrees of rotation.
Spent abt 3 months in Abuja governing by proxy on "sick leave".
Wants to overturn state consensus of rotation for the governorship. On his whim ( selection for concealment of looting ).
Even a disabled Suntai (RIP) has more capability than this village hut "architect".

Comedy night @ DHQ, headlined by "Sar-manjor Burutai" as a General.
-Free entry for babes.
-Bring your own bottle.
-Colorado tolerated, perhaps necessary.


How did this man pass promotion exams ? Spiritually ?

Self fulfilling prophesy.
Polluted waters and land bc of prior systematic unethical practices by oil majors slowly eroded all employment opportunities driving youths to engage in illegal refining which in turn increases pollution which in turn leads more to engage in the illicit trade of artisanal refining which leads to greater pollution.
Exhibit A of the leadership failure of FGN over 5 decades and counting.
This area will not recover it's natural ecosystem for a century or more. The question is whether Nigeria as a country will survive that long.

Chief of Army Staff version of "transmission, I mean transmission, commission, I mean.....transmission."

Watch his interview with Sakur on Hardtalk. You will know this man is incapable even of writing this admission of failure. Yet is very loquacious when it comes to addressing unarmed marching Shi'ites or #endsars protesters.

"International actors" now is the reason for the 'untechnical victory' BH and affiliated jihadists are having a field day ?

PMB needs to be evaluated. Why ? Bc he believed all this man's assessments for so long. Or he was misled. Or both. Bc there is no way this chap should still be in a job.

Chairman of "state capture" and political double cross has spoken.
Who assigned him this gig ? Is this the wages of (dis)loyalty to the party ?
And same Saraki will turn around and recommend himself as best placed "unity" candidate for PDP in 2023.

If failing upwards was a person, you'd see Burutai's picture as illustration. Actually, tag all the service chiefs and NSA by that phrase.

I thought you couldn't get worse than Ihijerika but here we are.

To know how inept Burutai is, watch his HardTalk interview with Stephen Sackur.

Ppl on here praising Kaduna becoming Abuja.
The next 3 governors will not be able to repay all the loans this governor has incurred without massive, business- hindering taxes. Couple that with incessant insecurity.
Even maintaining these by-passes to nowhere without tolls will be a challenge.
El-Rufai has beggared future leaders of the state on the paved road of his presidential ambition.
Nice pictures though

Some Trumpets suffering acute covidiocy will come on every Trump quoted tweet to tell us, frm Maryland Bar and Grill in Nnewi not Md, USA, that "CNN sheeple", should know that "demon-crats, Da Deep State, liberals, China and snowflake simp f'tards" "Dominion'd" their way by FRAUD to "win" the election.
I don't know why they believed using Breitbart words would make their ranting any more persuasive in our climes.

Democracy works when the actors have the stigma of shame in the electoral process to admit defeat. America's democracy was stress-tested and has emerged battered and unexceptional.

Wait till that guy in Cameroon/Uganda refuses to concede, citing Trump. It's only then we'll know how low in credibility America sank under Trump.

In August, El-Rufai said "Power should move to the South in 2023".
In November, El-Rufai said "Zoning will not solve Nigeria's economic woes".

Believe this Janus on any issue at your own peril.
He positions as the wind blows, posing as progressive when it suits the public mood and metamorphosing into a fundamentalist an hour later. His autocratic tendencies don't remain submerged for long, however; like his decision, bc of expediency, to run a Muslim-Muslim guber ticket diktat ; Or his neglect of his Southern constituents in the appointment of commissioners ; Or his advocacy of Fulani shibboleth of generational revenge ; Or his umbrage at being disinvited to the NBA AGM when he has spent his entire governorship persecuting lawyers with spurious lawsuits designed to intimidate and silence criticism and ignoring court orders in his treatment of Sheikh Zak Zaky
Now he has a credibility issue like the entire political class and twists in the wind looking for a relevant subject to stay in the public eye.
His state is a prototype for the process of "somalization" of Nigeria. "Seemingly" prospering urban areas and ungoverned space of banditry, ethnic strife and lawlessness beyond.

Police carry VIP wives bags. Are you immune to this disease ? Why will you not take up Shehu Sani's market walk challenge, sans body guards ?
"They'll do anything for clout....."

Snowflake blizzard incoming.

If what is written on the wall behind the suspect was written by Police, and is a sign of their attitude, it seems they were "encouraged" to catch this fellow.
May the Omeri family get justice.

Reconciling what exactly ?
Any committee in which Saraki is appointed as a chair always ends up being manipulated by him to his advantage, either financially or politically or both.
Frm his time as Chairman NGF to Senate Presidency to directing Atiku's latest failed Presidential election committee.
What msg does the party seeking to be an alternative to this shower currently in power hope to send when they keep rewarding this navel-gazer who betrays as readily as a woman sans culottes?
He has nothing to offer.
And it appears the party has not recognised the significance of the widespread discontent that culminated in #endsars. The party has to have a root n branch reform, the like if which none of these compromised individuals could dare suggest. Eg, party financing.

We can even conclude with a high degree of confidence what a committee of 6 that has 4 Ex Govs, all of whom failed in their states but for 1 (open judgement) will arrive at. A governor frm the North should be the flag-bearer. And Saraki will contest as sure as night turns to day.

PDP have dug their own grave. They refuse to learn frm their defeats and tell the truth to themselves. Despite all the own goals APC keep doing.

Her inconsistencies and rumor-peddling frm past reporting make her "journalism" unreliable at best and salacious and tawdry at worst.
Reputation matters when dealing with such serious issues in which the accused could face international sanction. Yellow dog reporting of the type she peddles in cannot be relied upon and, as this administration is showing, they are very adept, even for "live" events, at discrediting negative news as "fake".
Instead of her to be more professional and upping her game, she's out here "clout chasing".
Was she going to credit other media houses in unearthing the truth in her reportage ? I can bet she had no such intention.
2020. The year of the narcissist.

The Australian military is in the process of charging highly trained Special Forces soldiers engaged ON OPERATIONS against Taliban insurgents with "war crimes" for the killings of 39 people who posed NO THREAT to the soldiers. The panel of inquiry determined that there were failures of command and control at the team, unit and command levels and the killings were a part of "blooding" operators with "kills".
In one incident, witnessed by an attached US marine, someone taken prisoner was topped because there was no more room in the helicopter to take them back to be interrogated at the main base.

Compare and contrast this show of shame at the #endsars judicial enquiry in Lagos. The protesters posed NO THREAT and yet we've been fed a catalogue of lies from who authorised the deployment of soldiers to whether the soldiers were even present to whether the soldiers used live rounds or blanks to the number and extent of casualties to who/where has custody of the victims to social status of the bodies held by LASG. I emphasize that Lekki was not Helmand Province, an active battle space.

Also recall that in the US, the Defense Secretary REFUSED a presidential request to DEPLOY the military onto the streets of US cities being menaced with random looting under the guise of protests.

Australia and the US ; Nations of laws.
Nigeria ; a nation of outlaws masquerading under "constituted authority".

Sensationalist headline.
He will not be cleared by the EPL to buy such stock bc he will "bring the game into disrepute"
At least i hope so as a Gunners fan. Even D'gote, we don't want his kind of "investment". His would be federal govt shares.
Of all the Man U fans in Nigeria, not a single one has had the liver to be flagged as wanting to buy into the club. It's always Arsenal.
Arsene, see what you caused ?

Military intelligence.
An oxymoron.
On full display.

obailala:
The person I quoted inferred that Buhari has borrowed alot from China and would soon sell Nigeria to China. I simply corrected that misleading notion by pointing out that ~90% of Nigeria's current debt to China was incurred by Buhari's immediate predecessor; this is one fact I'm sure 99% of folks commenting online are ignorant of. You proved me right by starting your response with "fat lies", I had expected a smart person to ask me to substantiate my claim with verifiable data, but instead you proceeded to a totally off topic rant on the economy booming or not booming.

Of course one wouldn't expect you to understand the effect of a 70% drop in oil revenue for an oil dependent nation; the only part you understand is that power changed from A to B and then the economy stopped booming, so therefore it must be a political issue.


Too many educated but ignorant fellows across Nigeria.. A smart person would have stayed on the topic and asked for evidence of my claims. But you just exposed your mental power here.

Source for assertion ?
And I noticed you gave an excuse as drop in oil revenue. I thought OBJ had debunked this notion that Nigeria can only function with high oil prices.
Also, is it wise to continue borrowing with depressed oil prices ? How much has been spent on all the agricultural initiatives started by this regime ? Where are the record customs and FIRS revenues this govt has touted ? Indeed, where is the 00's of billions recovered by Magu ?
These are substantial sums added together.
Are you not concerned by the incessant borrowing ? And the lack of accountability ? Or was this your expectation of this govt's change agenda ? With this govt's penchant for being economical with the truth would believe this govt's figures re the economy ?

PMB doesn't gad. You wailers can go hang.
He hates you for making him contest 4 times, only to get there and be sick for half his term.
He thinks you're "lazy yoots" and if he saddles your generations with debts, perhaps shame can motivate you to "work". He'll be long dead.
He thinks you should keep "kwyet" and do as you're told or stay in "ze oza room".
He thinks Yahaya Bello is the epitome of youthful leadership in Nigeria.
He thinks Igbos are easily manipulated by appealing to their ambition for the presidency.
He thinks Yoruba are politically expendable.
He thinks Middle Belt is Arewa conquered territory.
Like I said, he don't give a damn. Wanna protest ? Ask the Shi'ites how that turned out. Sirika is like a son. He can jolly well do as he pleases

He was tasked to bring 2 governors with him for his VP slot ambition or was asked " what is your electoral value beyond tiny Ebonyi ?"
So Umahi targets the most vulnerable PDP governor electorally.

When they tactically by-pass him by some obscure party rule of which he was not aware, or rig him out in their primaries for OUK, he will start wailing or turn pastor.

Leaders from 15 Asia-Pacific nations on Sunday sealed one of the biggest trade deals in history, seeking to reduce barriers in an area covering a third of the world’s population and economic output.

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, or RCEP, marks a major step forward for economic integration in the region, and follows almost a decade of negotiations.

Economists said the deal, the first trade agreement bringing together China, Japan and South Korea, could add almost $200bn annually to the global economy by 2030.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/nov/15/china-and-14-asia-pacific-countries-agree-historic-free-trade-deal

Meanwhile 16 Asian countries just signed the RCEP to form the biggest trade block in the world with 30% of global GDP and 30% of the world's population. The US and EU are excluded. The idea was an ASEAN idea not China's b4 ppl start asking, but China decided it was in its interests to join as a counter to Obama's strategy of economic strangulation via the TPP.
Also, without the US, Asian countries of ASEAN have signed the non-US CTPP since one of Trump's first acts was to withdraw from the TPP without offering an alternative.
MAGA- make Asia great again.
These 16 countries have basically coupled their economies to China (potentially) without a single currency or flag or even a parliament. Take note EU.

He drove through a crowd of his supporters on his way to golf
He doesn't gaf about them. Couldn't even stop to address them. Yet wants to unend his country's democratic precedents bc of his narcissism. And his sense of privileged entitlement.
Twitter is salvaging him atm (and his snowflake supporters having a white rage meltdown)
They can dish it but can't take it.

Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and his supporters will still back him. Even he remarked at their cult-like devotion.
I get the impression that for some of them, Trump was that kind of reckless bet, you know, someone to shake things up ; that's why his presidency was accompanied by the most far-fetched conspiracy theories. From paedo-gate, to Epstein, to his taxes, to the impeachment saga,to flag etiquette, to BLM, to Mueller's investigation, to Soulemani bombing, to him even catching the "hoax" covid. White America is raging against the dying of the light that is Trump, the classic New York huckster.
Believe America on any issue at your peril.

Let him start by paying his due taxes.
The revenue alone from that will fund infrastructure projects which will create jobs which will....etc etc.
The man is a leech on Nigeria. And uses his potential for "job creation" as his mantra for the gullible.
A country of 220M ppl reliant on the monopoly of 1 man business. Make it make sense.

Stockholm syndrome.
The victim believes his oppressor actually loves him.
Ask Kanye

Let me echo Bashir's garrulous tweets where he went about threatening rape of someone's mother and other such deplorable comments...
"(Dangerous) attempts to appear to not be an ethnic chauvinist in public has consequences". Ask Didiyata, who till date has not been found.
If this girl tries to leave this relationship, that is when she will know she is Igbo.

Vaccines currently on trial don't give continuous immunity. The SinoVac trial gave initial results of <30% immunity beyond 6 months. There is also a credibility problem with a Chinese vaccine.
As for the Pfizer vaccine widely touted, you have to ask why Avigan has not been used as a stop gap ? Also, Remdesivir has been widely used in India. The problem with the latter two is that they depend on early and accurate diagnosis and Avigan does have embryonic side effects.
Osinbajo always seems ready to kowtow to the great powers and never seems to make reciprocal demands in return.
And how will PMB's admin pay for it ?

As long as the Secondus NWC is in charge PDP will continue to haemorrhage support.
They have cast a blanket of hopelessness on the party and should be politely handed their hats.
