Please don't make this kind of post, you're a businessman for God's sake..

Reno Omokri, former aide to ex-president to Goodluck Jonathan has given reasons he has been silent on the outcome of Kogi election.

Omokri on Monday announced that his silence was as a result of the attitude of Nigerians towards him and the likes of Femi Fani-Kayode and Dino Melaye.

Describing Nigerians as being ungrateful, the former presidential spokesman further announced that henceforth he will stop criticizing President Muhammadu Buhari government and concentrate on evangelism.

According to him, Nigerians deserved the Buhari-led government.

As a Muslim, if you don't pray to Almighty Allah then you're not a good woman and do not deserve to be the mother of any body's children.

Fear Allah and observe your prayers. I support your husband's measures 100%. If it was me, we wouldn't be together now as I can't allow to mother my child.

How would some Nairalanders have reacted to this story if it was in Nigeria? Probably call their motherland a zoo, huh?

BUT the your Qur’an says otherwise..

The Qur’an tells us: “not to make friendship with Jews and Christians” (5:51), “kill the disbelievers wherever we find them” (2:191), “murder them and treat them harshly” (9:123), “fight and slay the Pagans, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem”

(9:5). The Qur’an demands that we fight the unbelievers, and promises “If there are twenty amongst you, you will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, you will vanquish a thousand of them” (8:65)...

You're translating this out of context. Please read the interpretation first before you make any comment.

I like it that nobody is saying APC has rigged the election the way PDP has been doing since 2003. PDP miraculously secured votes higher than the number of registered voters in various polling units across the country.
Going to court cannot give PDP victory in the Osun election, because it has been one of the most free and fair election in the history of Nigeria. Peaceful and no single individual casting ballots for an entire polling unit, like it happened in 2015 general elections..

[quote author=yns4real post=70823320]•Senate president says quest not a betrayal of ex-VP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may have to pick its presidential flag bearer in next year’s election from the Northwest geo political zone, The Nation gathered yesterday.


With over 18 million eligible voters as at last February, the zone has the largest voting population in the country.
It is followed by the Southwest with over 14million voters.

The Nation gathered that the main opposition party is taking notice of the situation and may settle for one of its presidential aspirants from the zone at its convention next month to slug it out with the incumbent, President Muhammadu Buhari in the February 2019 poll.

Buhari is on course to emerge as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate later this month.

Presidential aspirants of the PDP from the Northwest are Senator Ahmed Maikarfi, Alhaji Sule Lamido, Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, former Special Duties Minister Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, former Kano State governor Ibrahim Shekarau, former Sokoto State governor Attahiru Bafarawa and former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso.

The implication is that the likes of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar from Adamawa in the Northeast and Senate president Bukola Saraki from Kwara State in the Northcentral stand a little or no chance of getting the PDP ticket.

Party source said yesterday that Saraki in particular may be facing formidable hurdles already from the PDP and the Northwest geo political in his bid to fly the party’s flag in next year’s presidential election.

Saraki formally declared his presidential aspiration in Abuja on Thursday, citing pressure from Nigerian youths.

However, party source told The Nation yesterday that the former Kwara State governor has a long chain of barriers to be broken to achieve his ambition.

One of such is the suggestion by some PDP members that the party’s presidential candidate has to come from the Northwest zone for the PDP to stand a good chance of defeating President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari is from Daura, Katsina State in the Northwest.

He commands a cult followership not only in the zone but across the northern region.

Pressure is mounting on the PDP leadership to narrow down its ticket to the Northwest as it is the only way to compete with Buhari.

Kwankwaso from Kano State in the Northwest is one of the leading advocates for the PDP presidential candidate coming from the Northwest.

Kwankwaso’s view is shared by many in the party.

Their argument is that the only way to whittle down the votes of the APC and its candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, in the zone is for the PDP to pick a candidate from the same zone.

Several interest groups from the zone are now promoting the view point in the party.

Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Friday shortly after obtaining his nomination documents, Kwankwaso said: “everyone knows that the bulk of the votes come from the Northwest and it would not be wrong for anyone to suggest that the PDP candidate should come from that zone.

“You all saw from the last general election in 2015 the number of votes from Kano alone. So it’s just normal to expect the candidate to emerge from the Northwest. That is the only way to defeat them (APC). But this is my opinion because everybody has their different opinions”.

Another formidable obstacle to Saraki’s aspiration is the perceived disposition of Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike who is seen by many as the de facto leader of the PDP.

Wike, chief backer of the incumbent national chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus, is said to be the number one supporter of Tambuwal’s presidential ambition.

It is understood that there is an agreement between him and Tambuwal that he will be the Sokoto State governor’s running mate in the presidential race if he gets the ticket.

Wike’s disposition on the PDP presidential ticket is suspected to have informed Secondus’ hurried exit from the venue of Saraki’s formal declaration for the presidency in Abuja on Thursday.

Secondus had led other members of the national executive committee of the PDP to the event, at the invitation of the organisers unaware that Saraki had a different agenda.

It was gathered that neither Secondus nor the organisers of the event had the slightest inkling that Saraki was going to take advantage of the forum to declare his aspiration.

Apparently rattled by Saraki’s ambush, the organisers were forced to issue a disclaimer the following day, expressing their disappointment and embarrassment at the action of the Senate President.

Meanwhile, the Senate president is continuing his consultations with socio-political and interest groups across the country.
One of his aides who does not want to be named said yesterday that he met with the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) headed by Chief Edwin Clark, the Yoruba group – Afenifere -and a group of northern elders led by Prof Ango Abdullahi during the week.

He, however, did not venture comments on the outcome of the consultations, saying Saraki only briefed the groups and explained his decision to join the race.

“You don’t expect it (consultation) to be a one-off thing because you are required to lay all your cards on the table through sustained consultation over time”, the aide added.

My presidential ambition not a betrayal of Atiku, says Saraki

Responding to questions yesterday on Saraki’s ambition, his chief spokesman, Yusuph Olaniyonu dismissed speculations that Saraki betrayed former vice president Atiku Abubakar by joining the presidential race.

“No aspirant’s presidential quest is a betrayal of any others”, the office of the Senate President, Senator Olusola Saraki has said.
Some of Atiku’s supporters had expressed surprised that Senator Saraki is challenging Atiku who once helped to mobilize support for him to become Senate President.

He asserted that such assumptions are wrong, unjustifiable and baseless.

“Betrayal? How? Was there an agreement that ‘you will support me for this, I will support you for that?” Olaniyonu retorted yesterday when he met The Nation.

He added: “were they not in different political parties before?

“We know that some people have an agenda in all this; they have an agenda on everything concerning Senator Saraki and there is no point responding to whatever misinformation they wish to spread.

“There is no betrayal whatsoever between the two eminent citizens.

“Are Governor Tambuwal and Senator Saraki not even much closer than the relationship between the former Vice President and the Senate President?

“Governor Tambuwal and Senator Saraki are more of brothers but as true democrats, the two of them are in this race and they do not have any problem with one another over it; whoever wins the presidential ticket would get the support of the other,” he said.

According to the Senate President’s spokesman, all PDP presidential aspirants, including Senator Saraki are now working out an arrangement to ensure a rancour-free process.

“The agreement that they are working on now is such that whoever wins the PDP presidential primaries, all of them will rally to support whoever wins.

“In fact, what all of the PDP presidential aspirants are concentrating on is that they will all work together and ensure that there is an open, free and fair presidential primaries.

“They are trying to ensure that the process is very free and fair for all and that whoever emerges will not be a source of bitterness because the outcome would have been the result of a genuine process.

“PDP presidential aspirants are working together to ensure that all of them forge a united front and that there will be no reason for the ruling party to see any of them as a potential ally.

“They are working for a credible process and all of them are going to support the eventual winner.”

PDP is ignorant of the state of the polity in Northwest Nigeria. All of the presidential aspirants from the northwest taken together cannot command 30% of the support enjoyed by Buhari in the region. The North doesn't care about who is contesting against Buhari or where he is from.

We're sharing the Abacha loot because Switzerland says she would only return the money if Nigeria agrees to pay the money directly to the poor.

You're only displaying your ignorance posting this comment..

These defections will not change anything in the political configurations of the Far North. People there adore Buhari and will vote for him regardless of who is with him among the political elites in Nigeria. Those who desert Buhari from the North will be seen as Traitors and will be punished come 2019.

These political gladiators are deceiving themselves by thinking that they can mar or make Buhari’s reelection in 2019. The masses here in the core or Far North, for whatever reason have deep trust for Buhari, that is why those that associate with him get people's votes regardless of their past history.

With what's happening now, it is easy to predict that 2019 is going to be so very interesting!

It's all vanity upon vanity
And to think that the current president once described Abacha as a saint makes me shiver..

Same thing is happening right now
Mass looting amid high praises
Yusuf Buhari has choice hotels in Dubai today
These people are jokers[/quote]You should criticize Donald Duke too. In this interview, he said that Abacha abhors corruption

Hahahhhh! I don't see no civil societies in these pics. All I see are some sponsored bitter assholes protesting against a relatively fair election in Ekiti. You fools are wasting your time. The US government will not be moved by your stupidity..

Fayose ruled like a dictator. I would have been very surprised if he had won by proxy.

He's one nasty asshole who think he can ride over Ekiti people as he would his goddammed donkey..

Only fools and people with distorted mind will agree with this myopic minded Pastor. The Nigerian Christians, especially those in the South know that the Hausa-Fulani have no capability what so ever to colonize other tribes or ethnic groups in Nigeria. If this can be possible, it must be the South colonizing northern Nigeria. The Southern part of the country are more developed, more developed and more capable relative to the Northern part of the country.

So what this dumb ass is saying is only bullshit!

This will be a great achievement for Nigeria, Morocco and West Africa as a whole. The project will guarantee thousands of jobs and easier access to energy for hundreds of millions of people. For this work, Buhari deserves accolade.

Alhamdulillah! Congratulations to him and his family. Islam is the true religion of Allah! And even the Holy Bible, in its original form testifies to that! Allahu Akbar!!!

Please forgive his ignorance. GEJ does not have a good understanding of the English Language, especially when he's high on booze.

There's nothing like mockery in what Akufo-Addo said

The governments of over 90% of countries in the world would have canceled the match with Congo. They would know they would be made to account for the decision to go ahead with the match should anything go wrong.

But things are different here in Nigeria. The government can easily get away with it even if a thousand people died as a result of such a decision. Sad!

Omokri is fast becoming a SADIST and is loosing the capability to reason. I am beginning to symphasize with poor RENO.

Gather some probable cause (evidence) and then report her to the authorities. Lesbianism is outlawed in Nigeria and those engaging in the act are liable to go to prison. I am confident a few years behind bars will bring her into focus

A false heading? Actually those were Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau supporters protesting against his arrest and prosecution in the court of law by the EFCC. Mallam Shekarau is alleged to have collected 950mn Naira out of the Diezani loot.

Although the man Buhari has not accomplish even 20% of what we expected of him when we were queuing up to vote him to power in 2015, he has performed relatively better than each of the previous administrations, particularly in terms of infrastructural projects. So a high five to PMB..

Not surprised anyway...Hausa is the second biggest language in Africa..

Nigerian Army troops of Sector 1 Sub-Sector A, deployed at Yelwata while on routine patrol arrested 10 herdsmen destroying farmlands at Tse-Tigir and Tse-Ndugh villages in Benue.

The effort of the Nigerian Army to fish out criminals and protect farmlands in Benue State and it environ in the ongoing Exercise Ayem Akpatuma is yielding tremendous result as troops of Sector 1 Sub-Sector A, deployed at Yelwata, while on routine patrol arrested 10 herdsmen destroying farmland at Tse-Tigir and Tse-Ndugh villages on Monday.

While in the act of destroying the farmland the herdsmen sighted the aggressive troops and fled into the Bush. The determine troops pursued and arrested them.

Items recovered were five motorcycles, two machetes, some assorted charms and N120,000. Suspects and items were handed over to the Nigerian Police for further necessary action.

The Nigerian Army said in a statement by its spokesman, Brigadier General Texas Chukwu, that it is determined to fish out criminals and recover weapons used in killing innocent citizens, adding:

“Therefore the public is please requested to cooperate and support the Army on the ongoing exercise.”

The Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, has revealed the real cause of Boko Haram insurgency and herdsmen/farmers’ clashes in the country.

The lawmaker attributed the menace to the depletion of natural resource, disrespect for human rights and the rule of law.

He said the factors were major setbacks to prosperity, peace, security and sustainable development in the Commonwealth.

The lawmaker said these in London on Monday in his speech at the opening session of the inaugural Commonwealth Parliamentarians’ Forum, ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of State and Government Meeting scheduled to hold in the British capital in April.

According to him, the protracted Boko Haram insurgency and herdsmen/ farmers’ crisis were “practical examples of how natural resource depletion and inequality adversely affect security and prosperity.”

But why are their no pictures of the destroyed farms. This news doesn't make no sense, just like the FALAE Farms - herdsmen saga. I think the soldiers scared the little kids and they could only opt to run away. But diaries God Ohhh!

Cut legislators’, ministers’ salary by half, Sanusi tells Buhari

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II, the Emir of Kano, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to review the salaries of members of the National Assembly and ministers, with a view to creating more jobs for Nigerian unemployed youths.

According to Guardian, he said this yesterday while urging political office holders to make sacrifices and salvage the country from its current economic downturn.

He argued that if the salary of each member of the National Assembly was divided into two, it would go a long way to provide more jobs for 70,400 jobless Nigerians at between N90, 000 and N92, 500 monthly salary.

Sanusi gave the charge through a statement addressed to President Buhari, while also lamenting that the salary of military personnel, who are defending the country was only N49, 000 with some of them lacking accommodation.

He said: “Where is the change? Change should start with the National Assembly. A senator receives N36million monthly. If this is divided into two, it comes to N18 million.

The second half of N18 million can be used to create jobs for 200 Nigerians, each earning N90, 000 monthly, When you multiply 200 people by 109 senators, this will give 21,800 Nigerians gainful employment.

In short, 200 Nigerians will be able to live a comfortable life on half a senator’s monthly salary.”

Further highlighting the disparity in the standard of living of public office holders, particularly the legislators, Sanusi argued that a member of the House of Representatives receives N25million monthly.

“Half of that amount is N12.5million, which is enough to employ 135 Nigerians with a monthly salary of N92, 500 each.

https://www.headofsocials.com/2018/02/12/cut-legislators-ministers-salary-half-sanusi-tells-buhari/

It is obvious the man Buhari has failed to bring any form of the change he promised. We had thought change like the one the emir just spoke about was going to happen. And we were wrong!

Yet, I am likely going to vote Buhari in 2019. I am yet to see a better candidate proposing to contest the 2019 Presidential Elections.

Anyone angry about the likelihood of me voting Buhari should kiss his a***s

According to reports, these are hundreds of anti-open grazing marshals which are being trained in Taraba state following the Fulani herdsmen saga which has been rocking the nation. The marshals are reportedly being sponsored by the Taraba governor, Darius Ishaku and are being trained at the NYSC permanent Orientation camp suburb of Jalingo, the state capital city of the state...

Meanwhile, despite protests, the anticipated anti open-grazing law has commenced in Taraba with herdsmen still going about their normal businesses.

The state Governor, Darius Ishaku, said the law has come to stay and nothing would stop its full implementation despite warnings issued by cattle breeders in the state.

Governor Ishaku stated that the law would be implemented “gradually to make room for the herdsmen to get more used to the idea and familiar with the working of the system while the government also tries to put in place the necessary infrastructure.”

They are going to learn how to shoot, aren't they? I think if they teach them how to shoot them and give them arms, then there's a breach of the constitution.

The things this government does will continue to baffle me. Imagine what $496million Will do to our Infrastructural, educational, agricultural and health sectors.

So which one do you think is more urgent, providing security of lives and property or infrastructures?

resurgentxtian4:
El-Rufai is one of the most deadly strain of Fulani bigotry and lethality. We Christians all over Nigeria should never let down our guards while seeking ways to amicably settle this Fulani insurrection. We should deploy our resources to see that our Christian brothers all over Nigeria (especially the north) are protected from the ongoing carnage. A stitch in time saves nine.

Selah.

I just read a hate speech. Do this shit in the US or China and you will be detained and prosecuted.

I am saddened by this incident. The loss of lives anywhere around the world is something to grieve and symphasize about. But it is obvious my fellow Nairalanders here do not value a Hausa-Fulani lives. When a Fulani is killed people seem to be okay with that. But when suspected Fulani people kill everyone expresses outrage and rain abuses on the entire Hausa-Fulani race and their religion. This is unfair and pathetic!
