I have decided to excuse you on Boko Haram as GEJ is ready to exterminate them now. I am also not interested in you equating $ to =N= nor am I keen to see you stabilising oil price because you really cannot.[/size]

The problem with a lot of Nigerian youth is that they are lazy, very lazy. Same applies to our journalists.
I do not know of other countries, but see the fee for Canadians - Nigeria High Commission in Ottawa displayed on their website below:

Oby is a Redeemed Pastor. The only issue is that she has not been fair to "pulpit ethics" and the expectation of "her calling". The one very reason I still respect Pastor Osinbajo in spite of politics.

My opinion though!!

ideology:
Wait o o
Na today …

TINUBU IS FROM OSUN, we saw they way he ensured Rauf won.

FASHOLA FROM EKITI

YOU ARE NOW PROTESTING AMBODE, yes He said for Ondo state.

But It didn't start today,since 1999, it's also on record most of the exco members and advisers are not from Lagos state

Therefore, Lagos is truly "NO MAN's LAND" Shey you agree now!!

I remember my service year in Toro Local Government Council in Bauchi State (sorry I won't disclose year). The council was usually active once allocation was received. What happened was that the money was usually brought to the LGA chairman's office and shared - raw cash. Each unit head or departmental head as the case may be would come forward to carry his share to his team, etc. Thereafter, the LGA becomes a ghost establishment with only Corpers and a few employees. My friend who was also serving in Ganjua LGA, said the same scenario was playing out over there. It was so disheartening that I had to redeploy to Bauchi Town to join one of the Banks to complete my service.

Really, there is "no corruption" in the North. What they have over there is "sharing or looting of allocation". On the other hand down South, we want people to be accountable. Accountability means that every eye is on you, so if you steal the money, others will shout. You are most likely to face the authorities. In the North, it is "RANKADEDE".

clara472:
Official documents obtained has revealed that only 292, 878 voters were accredited in the April 11 governorship elections in Rivers State while Wike was declared winner of the election with a total of 1,029,102 votes, representing 87.77 per cent of 1,228,614, conjured number of total accredited voters. It therefore means the Independent National Electoral Commission in Rivers awarded Mr. Wike votes almost five times higher than the actual, authentic total number of voters accredited with card readers and Permanent Voter Cards.

If the five governorship candidates challenging the credibility of the April 11 governorship election in Rivers do not withdraw their cases from the election petition tribunal, Mr. Wike may need a miracle to come out of the election petition tribunal victorious with the available evidences. The Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Kayode Idowu on Friday confirmed that manual accreditation was not used in any state for the April 11 elections.

obasanjo is one man that has given his all to this nation. He is well respected statesman in Nigeria and abroad. But I think the biggest mistake he made in his life was giving nigerians the CLUELESS one as a president. And today his godson has successfully became the number1 corrupt leader that ever ruled this nation.


Gej, it will never be well with you, prosperity will surely catch up with you and by God's grace, prison will be abode after may29. Amen

You just wake up in the morning to start abusing someone who did you no personal harm all because you can hide your identity over the internet!! Do you ever know that it is the simplest thing to do to unmask you?

What on earth did Jonathan do to some of you? OBJ that you are praising is now 'trending' as a money launderer, the same offence he accused Ibori and Alamesigha of, yet he is your hero. The way it is I am not too sure if your 'hero' would not have some explanations to make before Metropol. You and I sure know that the UK will not sweep this your hero's case under the carpet. Lets wait and see if sacking of Ms Anne Welsh will halt UK from investigating this allegation.

When some of you end up in a bad way, no one would know the cause of the disastrous end.

[size=18pt]Joke apart, there is need to reinvent PDP. I think they need a new name, the earlier suggestions were made jokingly. I suggest the new party should have a name that reflect our diversity. Something like;

Neighbourhood Socialist Party (NSP) [/size]

As if some Nigerians were in South Africa fighting xenophobic crime when INEC ordered that elections should be carried on with or without card readers functioning or in the event of failure.

[size=18pt]Has anyone wondered how 2019 would be like if IBB moves in as PDP presidential candidate?[/size]

Just wondering!!!

[size=18pt]In Fashola's voice "... this traffic situation was caused by GEJ..."[/size]

[size=14pt]These are some suggested names they can chose from:

Breaking News: Plateau state has bid to buy out Benue state and make it a local government.
This is coming after the news that Suswan cannot pay Benue salaries again. Now and in the future.
Incoming governor of Benue state is confused about what to do and is willing to allow the emergence of the old Benue-Palteau state!
One thing that will delay the deal is that Jang is handing over power to opposition governor who may probe the buyover of Benue state.
Nassawa indigenes are urging Al-Makura to make a bid for Benue state but the governor who just got relected is reluctant because that will reduce the number of Fulani in the state.
In Anambra, Obiano who has about 3 years to go has put in a trade by barter bid for Imo state where Rochas has not paid salary for 13 months!
The state is broke and some Imo indegenes are writing protest letter to Pope, ICC and Ecowas to save them from renewed Anambra hegemony.
Enugu people say they are happy to have finally gotten Anambra and Imo people off their backs and that Rochas can starve Imo people like Awolowo if he wants!

pheeeew!

When is Osun up for sale? I have some institutional investors who want to acquire Osun because of her Opo-imo and world's tallest drum

Illiterate president of All Progressive Consequence

I foresee Amaechi pulling APC down if care is not taken. Amaechi is not an Abiola that Umaru Dikko told that "presidency is not for sale to the highest bidder ..." after bankrolling the NPN project. He made them and he will destroy them either with his utterances or alliances.

The man is not finished yet. Just watch the next scene coming soon. Who says he cannot reconcile with Wike?

Amaechi can never be satisfied and as usual he will bite the fingers that are feeding him now.

All these above are quite Laudable Sir. , but they aren't a function of who is gonna be The next Governor of Lagos State + Oba Akiolu of Lagos has busted your arse big time with our Brothers from the east, and they are not smiling.

Great achievements. However, a Tinubu's cashier, you are not good enough to be Lagos Governor. We have seen how Fashola performed in his first term and rigmarole in his second term.

When next you want to come back, leave Tinubu out of your campaign.

To re-echo the Oba of Lagos "You can never be Governor of Lagos ..." We, the people have chosen JK for Governor

helinues:
The fear of Buhari is the beginning of wisdom

Did you read to understand? Those refunds were made in 2008 and 2013. For 8 years since those refunds were made, Oyo State never inquired from EFCC who made the refunds. Please, read with understanding. Peleeee ooo!

Why are some Nigerians so lazy at reading? I do not see anywhere those letters and drafts mentioned Ladoja. The cheques and drafts were dated 2008 and 2013, not related to Buhari regime or election. If anyone should get credit for the refund, it should be GEJ regime as those monies were refunded in his time. Also the letter attached is from Oyo State Government to EFCC.

Question, why did it take Oyo State Government 8 years to request EFCC to furnish them who paid the money? Is the First Inland Bank still in existence today

Someone seems to be scared of Ladoja in Agodi House

I foresee blood shed.

Please, let the battle be without curses/abuses.

Just articulate your cases.

may God help Buhari to keep Nigeria together, otherwise, ...

According to Dictionary.com, a Nation can be defined as follows:

"1. a large body of people, associated with a particular territory, that is sufficiently conscious of its unity to seek or to possess a government peculiarly its own:

2. the territory or country itself:

3. an aggregation of persons of the same ethnic family, often speaking the same language or cognate languages.
"

From above, it is clear that Nigeria can hardly be called a Nation in its true sense. My reasons are as follows:

Taking definition No. 1, do we that dwell in this geographical setting called Nigeria possess the "sufficient consciousness of our unity"?
or are we just a geographical expression as indicated by definition No. 2

I am more inclined to tilt toward definition No. 3. This is because most Nigerians would first of all claim their "Ethnic Nationality" before acknowledging their Nigerian Citizenship. In fact if it was possible for some ethnic groups to possess their own Passport, Driver's License, etc. the ethnic blocks would prefer that to that of Nigeria.

I want to ask your opinion, can we call Nigeria a Nation? If Yes, which of the three definitions best describes us? If No, what can we do to create a "Nigerian Nation"?

Please, I am interested in intellectual discourse and not ethnic war and abusive language.

Amaechi is smelling defeat already! Shame that a sitting Governor is the one fomenting trouble in the state he is supposed to be the Chief Executive

It is interesting to see how the Nigerian youth and 'the masses' have been deceived and are about to be dumped where they truly belong; in poverty, cry for another change and later begin to fight themselves. Some of us saw the handwriting on the wall and warned the "Change Agents" but lo, it was not heeded.

Now do not confuse my write up as that of a sore loser. I am not a politician nor "Prostitucian" new word for political prostitutes
Before March 28, 2015, the masses of Nigerian (of which 80% are youth and children), chanted and clamored for change. They wanted the corrupt PDP administration to go for a new party APC. Unfortunately, the name APC and PDP do not make the difference but the gladiators in these parties do. So, when I begin to see and hear of people decamping and the same masses jubilation, I pity for my country men and women.

Today, there are only few, may be two or three politicians remaining on the Nigerian landscape that have nothing to do with running Nigeria. The rest are "Prostitucians". My fear is that with just these few Nigerians who are also members of the 'about to become' ruling APC, there are no longer opposition. The opposition then are now the masses that struggled and chanted for change. All over the landscape all you hear about is decamping and and abandonment. I hear that the latest brides in APC are Dariye, Useni, Kalu Orji, Gemade, Gbemi Saraki, etc. The list goes on and on. The question then is where is the opposition? If all these people and those who had earlier decamped to APC are now saints, then PDP was actually a party of Saints. By implication, I saw no reason for the "Change". The truth is that there will be no change. Rather you have the same people that ruined Nigeria surrounding a Buhari that would be overwhelmed very soon. In fact, I am foreseeing Fayose decamping to avoid impeachment. Again, I sure that if Doyin Okupe, Dezianne, Fani-Kayode, Ibori decamp today, APC will absorb them and they would become Saints.
This is where we now find ourselves.

Let us now check out a few of the gladiators of the incoming APC government:

Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT): Brief Resume: The Jagaban is one of the few politicians in Nigeria. He started as SDP senator in the Third republic, then AD Governor, then AC and leader of ACN and now leader of APC. BAT has the unchallenged reputation of being the first governor to depose his two deputies (for daring to challenge his decision) and send them to political oblivion. He is arguably the "Landlord of Lagos". The Obas are said to be subservient to him as he orchestrated appointment of most of them and can remove anyone at will. Tinubu's company Alpha-Beta is said to control about 30% of LASG Internally Generated Revenue. With APC gaining control of the centre, it is rumored that he has demanded the exclusive rights to appoint - Justice Minister (Femi Falana/ Gov. Fashola), Petroleum (Omamofe Boyo), Aviation (Kayode Fayemi) and Finance (his former Commissioner for Finance, Mr Wale Edu). He anointed his former Accountant-General Akinwumi ambode to take over from the incumbent Fashola in Lagos so as the preserve the "legacy". His wife is a serving senator, his son-in-law a House of Rep member, his daughter as Iyaloja of Lagos. This is in addition to his demand for Oil Blocks from Buhari. It is estimated that by 2019, the Tinubu dynasty would be Nigerias biggest economic powerhouse.

Olusegun Obasanjo: Brief Resume: Formerly PDP leader. Ruled or ruined Nigeria for 8 years with nothing to show except political brigandage. OBJ as he is popularly called is now adviser to Buhari and is said to have secured the rights to nominate three ministers. He had nominated Charles Soludo. OBJ cannot be said to be a politician but a prostitucian. He has the reputation of being the first Nigerian to tear his party membership card publicly. In civilized climes, such actions are punishable. no one would expect to see Jimi Carter, Late Julius Nyerere, Late Nelson Mandela, etc, act in such a manner.

Bukola Saraki: Brief Resume: Formerly PDP governor for 8 years and PDP senator for 7 years. Joined APC just one year ago. Saraki is being propped to become APC (Change) Senate President. This man ran down Societie General Bank and emptied Kwara State treasury and he wants to be Senate President. Saraki cannot be said to be a politician but a prostitucian. This is the man who seeks to be Nigerian #3 Citizen in a corruption fighting administration.

Soludo Charles: Brief Resume: He was named Governor on 29 May 2004."Board of Directors". Central Bank of Nigeria under PDP's Obasanjo regime. Retrieved 12 January 2008 after accusation of bribery involving Securency Pty Ltd of Australia and officials of both the CBN and the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting (NSPM) Plc over the supply of polymer substrate to Nigeria. Behold your next Finance Minister.

Rotimi Amaechi: Brief Resume: Formerly PDP River State Speaker for 8 years and PDP Rivers State governor for 7 years. Emptied Rivers State treasury to finance Buhari campaign. Saint Amaechi is being selected to become Secretary to the Federal Government. Amaechi cannot be said to be a politician but a prostitucian. Alas, our next SGF, a tout and head of Rivers State political thuggery.

Femi Gbajiamiabila: Brief Resume: Femi has been a member of the Tinubu's AC/ACN/APC inner caucus. He is being tipped as the Speaker House of Representative having been in the House for the past 12 years. In 2012, "The Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila admitted that he was indeed sanctioned by the State of Georgia, United States of America, for “professional misconduct and negligence” over the sum of $25,000 belonging to a client. In order words, he stole a client's money under false pretense. Hear him, “Let me state very clearly that, yes, I was sanctioned by the Georgia Bar Disciplinary Board for professional misconduct and negligence due to an unfortunate ethical violation that took place about 10 years ago in 2003. There are no ifs, buts or ands about it. This man seeks to be Nigerian #4 Citizen in a corruption fighting administration.

Atiku Abubakar: Brief Resume: Atiku Abubakar's wealth and political influence dates bak to early '80s when he served as Comptroller General of Customs. Thereafter, he became the Shehu Yaradua's PDM candidate for the botch Babangida transition programme. He later emerged PDP VP for 8 years. He has variously been a presidential candidate or aspirant for PDP, AC, and APC. He is one examnple of AGIP (Any Government in Power). Today, he is a staunch member of the "Change Initiative". Atiku cannot be said to be a politician but a prostitucian

Saint Mohammadu Buhari "Baba GMB" Baba won the presidential elections after four consecutive attempts. That was great. He promised to fight corruption. Yes, he may mean well for Nigerians, but I doubt his capacity to fight corruption. My fear stems from the assertion made by the Pastor Bakare that Baba's government may be likened to "Ali Baba and the 40 thieves, advising him not to allow many of those who facilitated his election to be involved in governance'. The burden on Buhari and his avowed commitment to fight corruption may be impeded by the forces that brought him to power. For example, Rotimi Amaechi was said to have doled out Billions to finance the Buhari's project. same goes for Tinubu, Saraki, Atiku, Kwankwaso, etc. To fight corruptions means that you do not repay these "LOANS". Question is from where would Baba repay these people from. Our Treasury In his anti-corruption chant, Buhari is a lone-ranger. If he messes up, the cabal will extinguish him.

The New Opposition Party (PDP): With the spate of decamping massively taking place, the new opposition party PDP may not be around to play that role. It is right thing to do now by decamping to APC after you lose your election. At the end the PDP would like not have any strength to challenge the ruling APC. The implication is one-party state. In a one-party state, the MASSES are the opposition while the politicians rule over them. This was the state of affair in Chile under Pinochet, that was the state of affairs in Libya under Gadafi, same as it was over the Arab states before the Arab spring. So my friend, do you not think that the Nigerian masses have played into the hands of their RULERS

Military: In the past, it was fashionable to call in the military. Today, things have changed.military intervention is seen as an aberration.

In conclusion, I am sorry to 'take the wind off your sail' by telling you all who cared to read this that we cannot yet shout "UHURU". This is the time to get ready for the real demand, which is the true CHANGE. These politicians cannot change, especially now that they are all in one party - APC. If Buhari attempt to stop them they will extinguish him. The National Assembly wage bills cannot be lower than what it is now. The price of fuel cannot come down below N87.00. Let nobody deceive you, you will pay more for electricity that would not be there. You will still provide your water, pave the road to your house, pay more taxes, pay higher school fees. So friend be prepared.

I rest my case!!

Please, if you have anywhere to stock oil, do so now. From June 1, 2015, the oil wells in SS/SE will be shutdown till further notice. The North made GEJ administration ineffective with Boko Haram, so this is tit-for-tat. What is good for GEJ should be good for Buhari.

If you hate this, go and ...
