Look at these men meeting over insecurity when they can't utilize the resources at their disposal to help the people of their states. The number one cause of insecurity in Nigeria is poverty, unemployment and corruption.

Some governors are so either very wicked or just imbeciles. I don't know who Okezie Ikpeazu is, but Nigerians deserve better. It's a pity. He and others will surely pay for their actions.

Better late than never. Approaching the end of their second terms in office and nothing to show for it.

Dino has been traveling all over the place without entering church or posting such. My dear good people of Nigeria, this one na eyeservice and deceit. Elections don reach again oo, they don dey try to fool us again

As if it's in our best interest as the masses.

It's either you be fair and allow the video to play or delete it. You guys don't have anything to campaign with. We are not fools

Why would nairaland allow its moderators to be mischievous? This is plain character assassination. It's misleading and thus should be dealt with accordingly

No wonder he's been showing off with that white elephant project and promising a lot of things lately. Is a shame and also a pity that we celebrate mediocrity. These people don't really care about us. Only deceit

You people have been boasting about billions in revenue. What do you really have to show for it?

Please show us the pictures. Atiku cannot be in the USA without showing off loads of pictures. He showed us when he was in a restaurant in France. We need pictures

In what capacity? A family that has politics as a career. It's your husband that we want to see make those visits and not you madam

New Mexico House Majority Leader Sheryl Williams Stapleton resigned Friday amid a criminal investigation involving alleged racketeering and money laundering.

The Democratic state lawmaker has "unequivocally" denied the allegations but wrote in a letter to New Mexico’s secretary of state that she felt her resignation was in the state’s best interest, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican.

"This is a decision that weighs heavily on me, and which I have made after a tremendous amount of consideration of the best interest of the people," she wrote. "In short, because I must devote a significant amount of time and energy to fully defend against these allegations, I believe it is in the best interest of this state and the House of Representatives that my position as both a member of the House of Representatives and Majority Floor Leader be replaced with a representative who can fully and competently resume the tasks and duties that are necessary to continue serving this great state."

Her decision was supported by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Democratic leaders in the Statehouse.

"These are incredibly serious and significant allegations," Grisham said Friday. "I anticipate a rigorous and thorough law enforcement investigation."

The world has gone nuclear, but Nigerian current crop of politicians are ways backwards in both reasoning and understanding. They only thing they're good at is looting

We're a very rich nation both in human and natural resources. But the big problem, no matter how hard we to pretend, is that we are the poorest country in the world.

It's no longer news that the only professional language and orientation amongst our children these days is Yahoo Yahoo and how to scam people.

Yahoo Yahoo has become so attractive for people who ordinarily won't engage in crime. Our children now think that Yahoo Yahoo is a more acceptable way to go, since they are not physically robbing or kidnapping fellow citizens at gun point.

We should all be worried, despite our social classes, that our children have embraced the fast lane. Think about the effect several years from now. This is a bitter truth.

They put in a lot of effort and energy into crime, because all they see around them are graduates that have no jobs, and professionals including doctors, nurses, engineers, teachers, etc. who are unable to meet basic financial obligations.

In a society where things work, these children would have access to quality and affordable education, therefore, putting those aboundant good brains into better use.

We are blessed with untapped potentials.

We need to liberate and save our generation from the hands of this crop of politicians.
The only way forward is to put our destiny into our own hands.
God Bless

But this is toddlers mathematics. It's too fucking childish

The answer is definitely = 12

How can you use heap of cash as evidence? No evidence of bank transactions to show, no evidence of the payee of the cash to the account. No bank account statements to really know if such cash were actually in those account and if at all it was Deposited by Wike. All these things are easy to verify by ordinary citizens not to talk of security personnel. Nigeria police and APC will never change.

How can you provide bank statement when you know very well that BVN has been their worst nightmare.
You are obviously one of the several paid PDP media agents insulting our collective intelligence on the internet. it's a pity you guys are all over the place.

Na wao, had Jonathan continued beyond 2015, he would have really dealt with this country. check out the cost of the same bridge under Jonathan's PDP. Mind you, things were very cheap at that time.

Ayo Fayose is a fraud star. He's using his noise making as a form of distraction from his inefficiencies in government. Has anyone taken the time to actually listen to him whenever he's talking? No single substance. He's just empty

Stories about GEJ's ineffectiveness does not make it to the front page, even when they do, it's not at break neck speed as stories about Buhari.
That makes me wonder if nairaland has been seriously compromised as some people remarked.

Victor Olabimtan, the former speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly (OSHA), who was abducted last week on his way from Akure to Abuja by armed hoodlums in military camouflage, has recounted his ordeal in the hands of his abductors after spreading four days in captivity.
Mr. Olabimtan addressed journalists this weekend at his Alagbaka residence in Akure, the Ondo State capital informing them that he was traumatized while in the custody of his kidnappers.
The ex-speaker and governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) disclosed that his abductors who wore a police and military uniforms and scared him and the other occupants of his vehicle with sporadic gunshots at a road block.
"It was exactly, 6:35 P.M. We arrived to an area, and I was hearing heavy gun shots, I immediately asked my driver what was happening? I saw those who were shooting and they had the uniforms of the Nigerian Army and the police force,” Mr. Olabimtan explained.
The former speaker explained that he thought he the army and police were exchanging gun fire. However, it quickly became apparent that the men were in fact armed robbers. The men went from vehicle to vehicle collecting money from various passengers. Once they arrived at Mr. Olabimtan’s vehicle he gave them the cash he had on his person. The men initially left Mr. Olabimtan to threaten others for money. However, they quickly returned shouting for the oga.
"They asked if I was the owner of the vehicle and I replied ‘yes’ because they were pointing gun at me and they instructed me to stand up,” Mr. Olabimtan recalled.
He revealed that his abductors dragged him by his waist to the bush and gave him a dirty slap in the face intermittently when he tried resisting them.
"They dragged me by my waist to the bush, even when I wanted to resist, they gave me a dirty slap and my eyes turned blue immediately I had to obey and followed them.
“While they were dragging me into the bush, lots of things were coming into my mind, I was asking myself that they could be Ritualists. They collected money from us, and we began the journey into
the bush by walking about 30 minutes before asking us to stop,” Mr. Olabimtan said.
He described his fears of being shot by his captors, and his attempts to resist. Unfortunately each attempt to resist was met with a beating. The former speaker was robbed of all of his valuables, even his shoes.
"[By] 8 P.M., I was walking barefooted because my shoes and other valuable things in me had been removed and began following them [the kidnappers] while some of the captors were in the front and
others were at the rear, guiding us.
"By 11: 30 P.M., we arrived at a secluded spot and they instructed us to laid face-down. I was watching them secretly and noticed that it was the money they raked and looted during their operation that they were sharing amongst themselves. They came back and told us that everyone is sleeping at this spot till the following morning,” he described.
Mr. Olabimtan said that his abductors who were all graduates and fierce looking could only offer him a bottle of coca cola, bread, and stream "dirty" water to drink during the four days he spent with them.
The former APC governorship candidate recalled that his kidnappers forced all those who were kidnapped alongside him to trek barefoot to various locations and climb mountains before settling down in a big pit where they were hidden from the public.
"At exactly, 4 A.M. they instructed us to be on the move for another journey until 11:30 A.M.
“We climbed and descended two mountains before they [the kidnappers] hid us in a pit until the following day.
“The next day they asked each of us how much we had in our bank account to bail us out. I told them, I didn't have money in my bank account. They asked me, whom I knew that could raised money to secure my release.
"Immediately, they set my own bail out money to N20 million, while others that were kidnapped to were billed at N5 million and N7 million but I asked why would my own money be N20 million and they replied that I am the Oga (Boss), pointing at my exotic vehicle,” Mr. Olabimtan stated.
He went on to describe that he had hidden any sort of documentation which would alert his captors to the fact that he was a former gubernatorial candidate. He later requested the privilege of calling his son.
Eventually, his kidnappers began to negotiate a ransom. Throughout the negotiations the abductors continually threatened Mr. Olabimtan’s life.
He was eventually released once his ransom was paid. "They [the kidnappers] told us, we have been bailed out but I told them to do me a favor that I want to call my wife, and they obliged me. My wife confirmed that the money had been paid in Abuja,” Mr.
Olabimtan explained.
Once the payment went through he and his fellow captives were released. The kidnappers
subsequently fled, although Mr. Olabimtan noted that the police were able to kill one of the abductors.
