Its rather unfortunate.

I weep for the country. Buhari was the best man for the job during the last election.
There was no doubt about it.
From my abode that morning, I jumped for joy as I sang d national anthem with INEC on TV as the old General was declared.

I said to myself, welcome to a new Nigeria.

Fast forward to now, its not just appalling, its disappointing, its shameful.
Buhari has been more than useless, to imagine this was the first president I ever prayed for in my life. I believed so much in him but not now. He is a disgrace, and has betrayed all those who trusted him.

Don't quote me and say I shouldn't be insulting adults or d president.
Cos if obasanjo was called all sorts, GEJ was labelled anyhow, nothing stops us from tagging PMB as deserved.

Let's leave trabalism or politics out. Buhari so far has Failed!

Two questions for Mr. Photography President.

1) If you appoint me for a position and I take 6months like u have taken to set up my cabinet with no immediate momemtum and/or result, won't you boot me out?

2) We know Nigeria was really messed up before you came in, but we expected that you Mr. President knew that but when you know you couldnt perform, why did you force yourself on us?

Yes you forced yourself when you kept coming out and even cried on national TV when you last lost.

My pain, anger and worry is, if d election was to take place again, I will still go for you Mr. Retired General despite how old and useless you have proven to be, so the question is, which way Nigeria? shey none of us get sense ni? Haba mana!

My friend, you have spoken well. Nigeria disease is called 200 millions mumu, as in MUMUISM led by MUHAMMADU Daura cow baba.

Buhari is a BORN TO RULE FULANI MAN with entitlement mentality.

Buhari unfortunately for this country, is an analogue phone in a smartphone era.

Rearing cow and selling the same is different from running a large economy like Nigeria.

He only became President because of Religion, Region and Tribalism.

'He who lived by the sword will die of the sword'

APC ASSOCIATION OF PROPAGANDIST CRIMINALS, they lived by Propaganda and propaganda will consume them eventually.

They are now angry because others are using their 'tools' better than them.

The wife has been in the USA for 'Omugwo' for the past 3 months ? who is looking after (servicing) Rochas, the dud cheque issuer?

AINATOLULOPE:
[size=15pt] [color=#FAA737] I have wanted to ask...

All these Senators following Saraki every where like he's the one feeding them..

If he's eventually found guilty and sent to jail, will they follow him to jail too?[/size] [/color]

This is part of wishful thinking and ignorance of Tinubu's Noisemakers.

The ccb Tribunal sentencing power does not include imprisonment.

So, if by accident, he is found guilty, the maximum penalty is removal from office/banning from politics

Even APC ASSOCIATION OF PROPAGANDIST CONFUSIONIST apologists knows and accept that Saraki trial is political because he became SP. If he just remain quite as a senator, APC will have left him alone. It was Tinubu who was behind the mud slinging of all his 'enemies' .

The question OBY should have asked. APC is that 'Why did Apc allow Saraki senatorial ticket and given the party structure in Kwara state' ? Or are they claiming not to know Saraki well documented history? APC is a bigger fraud than Saraki.

And APC are using both the media and the judiciary to 'persecute' Saraki. Saraki in return is using his office as SP and super majority to send messages to the executives and the judiciary.

OBY should therefore stop running one sided Twitter commentary. Saraki unlike Tinubu knows how to play political chess in Abuja. Tinubu only know how to play Ludo in Lagos.

I hope the connected people are not hounding and bullying bloggers?.

Is there a prima facie case of blackmail established? Or is it just a case of defamation?

The former is criminal whilst the later is civil.

The penalty for civil matter is not imprisonment unlike criminal matters.

The fact that bank manager has money and connection should not stop the truth being told where there is proof of the illicit affairs.

Bloggers must publish the truth whilst the big guys in society should not use police and the courts to harass bloggers and journalists to cover the truth.

SenseiX:
Not a fan of Buhari but the interviewer was rude. I still don't understand the fascination of Nigerian leaders with giving foreign media interviews at the expense of local media.
PS-When will Nigeria elect an eloquent and smart president like the Fasholas, Ribadus, Okonjos et al. Listen to Kenya's leader Uhuru Kenyatta speak and you'll certainly want to hear the point he is trying to make.

Uhuru Kenyatta eloquence and charismatic leadership is one of the reason Obama was very proud to go to Kenya for Americans to see a different Africa.

Buhari is never a leader whether in 1983 or 2015. All his ministerial nominees are ten times smarter, eloquent than him. He is just a figure head.

mcjoe007:
I still don't know the crime we Nigerians have committed that the world hates us.nice one though,

We have no leaders. Religion and tribalism govern us. That's our crime.

Osinbajo should becareful of bow. It is used by deceptive people.

OBJ did it to GEJ few weeks before he was kicked out of Presidency.

El rufai is an unrepentant Fulani born to rule supremacist.

Abbycite:
I think we are doing a deservice to our nation with the kind of screening going on in the senate. So far so good, I av not seen a proper screening. Even the few questions posed to some of them are very silly questions.

Nothing like.....'u said this some few years ago, what is your view on the matter now'......

Thank you for a wonderful observation. The Senators are very unintelligent. They couldn't even hire research assistants to dig up info on the nominees upon which they will be able to ask serious questions.

And the President and his Daura team are lazy, they should indicated to the Senate 1 or 2 portfolio each individual nominee is being considered for.

The Senators are equally lazy like our youths. All they shout from the house of comedy is BOW AND GO.

Shame on non leaders

olapluto:
Nigeria's best. I have listened from minute 1. Impressed beyond words.
I hereby nominate Fashola as presidential candidate for 2019.

If Nigeria is not a nation of CONFUSIONIST, religion and tribalism, he should have been the President.

With all due respect to Buhari, he can 'sing corruption' but he hasn't got what it takes to be a leader of this country whether in 1983 or now in 2015.

But, this is Nigeria. The land of the BORN TO RULE even Tinubu knows that Fashola will outshone him when he goes federal, anyone remember Adeshina, the President of Africa development bank?

In a normal pregnancy, it takes 9 months for child birth.

APC = ASSOCIATION OF PROPAGANDIST CRIMINALS

Anytime people think of the negatives of APCheats, two words come to mind

LIES and PROPAGANDA.

They have used it as a weapon to win election but it will ultimately destroy them, maybe in 9 months or maximum 2 years.

Ghandi12:
I am worried this menace has defied all strategies. Annihilating them would have been the best and absolute solution but they have already permeated the fabric of the society that more tact approaches need to be evolved.

Obviously, killing them is not putting an end to their activities neither is the olive branch being offered them by the FG making them change their ways.

President Buhari needs to put BH and North-East as the most important issue in the nation. There can never be any meaningful progress if we continue having internal war of our people on our people. He has initiated some measures but cerebral approaches need to be developed, experimented and results constantly monitored.

People need to be told the truth - no one stepping on Nigerian soil is safe from possible attack from the new methods being adopted by the insurgents. They poisoned drinking water and suicide is nothing to them, they can poison food, and do much worse to anyone and anywhere in Nigeria.

+ Awareness should be serious and consequential. We need to stop deceiving ourselves - we all should panic as the threat is real from Maiduguri to Abuja to Lagos to Port-Harcourt.
+ Government should continue the friendly methods but care for and keep a good surveillance of those who are laying down their arms.
+ The popular motivations among the insurgents should be scientifically analyzed. These motivations must be diluted.

This is an opportunity to use all the budgeted Security Billions to equip and motivate security personnel especially those directly involved in NE and other troubled spots. Modern security is powered by technology and not human.

- All potential attack location should be put on security code red at least for the next 6 months
- Heavy technology areal and ground monitoring should be adopted.
- Nigeria Satellites or contiguous ones should be kept busy all over NE as long as necessary.
- Millions of wireless cameras can be installed in less than two weeks all over strategic NE locations. 100s of movable control rooms for surveillance can be fabricated within 2 months.
- 1000s of wireless alarm network system can be installed in strategic location connected to control rooms.
- Security operatives trainings should be more technology driven than brawn powers.
- Security operatives should be retrained, motivated and given all due benefits.
- People who have no business at all being security operatives should be paid off immediately.
- All reported threats from citizens should be assumed real, immediately investigated and no apology is required for false alarms.
- Police stations and environs should be equipped with modern CCTV cameras, control rooms, alarm networks and other modern communication gadgets.

God bless Nigeria

Thank you for all that you've said, unfortunately APC and Buhari were using Boko Haram as a political tool to campaign to grab power back to the North.

Politics by the North has ruined unity and peaceful existence in the country.

Now that Boko Haram has turned against their 'paymaster' let us see how they are going to respond.

In a twist of fate, FULANI MAN value his cow more than human lives, so expect a serious reprisal killing by Fulani herdsmen.

Another APCshit achievement apart from 'BROWN ENVELOPE WITH NO LIST'

Children of propaganda carry go, nothing do you

Keneking:
What if the list is stolen from Saraki's office before Tuesday

There is NO LIST.
Nothing inside the envelope handed over to Saraki. It was just an empty brown envelope for TV photos.

Government of propaganda. You can win elections by propaganda but you cannot govern by propaganda.

APC = ASSOCIATION OF PROPAGANDIST CRIMINALS

Buhari is saying: good job Bukola, don't open that envelope because there is nothing there. I am still thinking of the names to forward. I'll replace it before Tuesday. Say you know that I have to perform Nolloywood drama at 4.59pm yesterday.

Saraki say: Mr. President I know, I am sharp boy you know. As soon as I received the envelope I knew it was just for the camera and not to be opened. Sai Baba. You are one of us full time politicians. Nigerians think you are magician.

Nnemuka:
Envelope has now turned to list ehkwa?
GMB has scammed all of you. how can he promise us ministers by september only to send List on the 30th?
ndi ara

There is NOTHING in that envelope. This President is NOT sincere with the people of this country, they will eventually swap the envelope for another one between now and Tuesday.

Why waiting for close of business of the senate and 4.59pm TO COME AND HAND IN AN ENVELOPE that the Senate President cannot open in front of the whole country via news media and in Senate chambers to be read..

Envelope handing over is NOT the names of ministers who should have been screened and confirmed by now.

WE have a federal constitution, but the military with the likes of Buhari basterdise it and the nation was being run like a unitary state.

I have said it before, only fools will hire a 73yrs old grandfather to be the CEO of a big and complex business when he is the head of 'NOISEMAKERS'

Pidggin:
What if it was the other way around, will she force him to cater for a child that isn't his? Mufu man

Actually the man wouldn't know about it or have a choice because the baby will be the child of the man from pregnancy

On a serious note, the man needed to be sanctioned. Why not take the love child to his own mother instead.

Cow baba.

Two words for Buhari

Incompetence and clueless.

By law, we still don't have a government.

Leopard can never change it's spot.

He can wait until 11.59pm on 30th of September, so that we can see that he knows how to beat deadline!

And we will lists of nominees of NOISE MAKERS send to Senate which can take up to Christmas.

The man is a dictator and he is used to sole administration. Leopard can never change it's spot.

CHANGE backwards is what APC ASSOCIATION OF PACKAGING CRIMINALS are offering. No idea in governing.

Every decision of Buhari so far is ultra vires and will be nullified in court of law if challenged.

Just reading the original Facebook posting of Seun Kuti confirms he is a semi illiterate like the cult celebrated Buhari who is an unrepentant coupist criminal with no official proof of formal education according to the constitution.

Seun Kuti wrote 'politicians being PERSECUTED' and not Prosecuted and I totally agree with him.

Matter happens in 2003, CCB and EFCC and others sit quietly but the man now becomes SP, 'must go to the docks' to humiliate him to score cheap political point because they want to remove him as Senate President.

I care less if all the politicians are put in prison BUT it is always a charade for government of propaganda by propaganda.

A prominent Katsina elder statesman was on Tuesday shocked to his marrow when his trailer load of rams as Sallah to Muhammadu
Buhari was outrightly rejected.

According to Newsrescue, President Buhari, a native of Katsina is reported to have immediately directed that the trailer be turned back and returned to the sender without delay.

This development further confirms Buhari’s statement during his swearing-in ceremony, where he said he belonged to everybody and to nobody.

Just recently, WashingtonPost adjudged President Buhari as the least corrupt leader in Africa.


http://dailypost.ng/2015/09/22/buhari-reportedly-shocks-longtime-friend-rejects-his-trailer-of-rams-as-sallah-gift/

Just recently, WashingtonPost adjudged [b]President Buhari as the least corrupt [/b]leader in Africa.


They quoted washington Post that said 'LEAST CORRUPT' - means that he Buhari is still corrupt

Few observations on this proceedings

1.There are more SAN than the charges in this case.
2 The Tribunal has no sentencing power to imprisonment
3.The issue of jurisdiction has not been decided by Court of Appeals or the supreme court.
4.The prosecution are just intrested to see Saraki in the dock for photo opportunity
5. The timing of the prosecution suggest persecution and political undertones
6 . Even if Saraki is found guilty. and the Tribunal ruled that he must vacate the ( SENATE PRESIDENCY) he will certainly appeal and the matter will be in the Supreme court until 2023.
7. If Saraki were to be removed as Senate President , then Ekweremadu becomeds the Senate President.

Shout One naijeyira.

It must be GEJ ?

APC ASSOCIATION OF PROPAGANDIST CONFUSIONIST

what is Buhari and his APC noisemakers doing? Oh, they are fighting corruption and criminality by their body language. yeye people.

ochejoseph:
HOW APC INTENDS TO FINISH OFF SARAKI (SEE SEC 24 OF THE CCT LAW)

Section 24 (3) (b) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and tribunal.

23. Powers of the Tribunal to impose punishment

 (1) Where the Tribunal finds a public officer guilty of contravening any of the provisions of this Act, it shall impose upon that officer any of the punishments specified under subsection (2) of this section.

(2) The punishment which the Tribunal may impose shall include any of the following-

(a) vacation of office or any elective or nominated office, as the case may be;

(b) disqualification from holding any public office (whether elective or not) for a period not exceeding ten years; and

 (c) seizure and forfeiture to the State of any property acquired in abuse or corruption of office.

Appeal might buy him some but members of the APC in the Senate should start shopping for a replacement the game is up because Buhari has already pacified members of his nPDP block in the APC with ministerial nominations, Atiku knows his own files of (stealing) might soon be dusted so he is likely to leave Saraki to his fate  this is a fight Saraki will have to fight all by himself .......

http://resourcedat.com/document/code-of-conduct-bureau-and-tribunal-act/

Nigeria is a comedy Republic. ICPC or whatever they are called, are now bringing 2003 matters in 2015 simply because the man has more to lose from negative publicity whether or not is found guilty.

Whilst I don't hold brief for Saraki or any alleged corrupt public officials, I think this is clearly witchunt that will ultimately backfire.

Even if he is tried and convicted, he will probably appeal and the matter will be in the supreme court for another 8 years.

SNAIL BABA
Cow Baba

You will notice that a BORN TO RULE FULANI man have
no regards for others especially people from other regions. He doesn't trust No igbo or Yoruba or anyone in the south.

Also, his 'people' are Northerners ONLY. He speaks to them on BBC HAUSA SERVICE in HAUSA

If Buhari has his way, Hausa will become our lingua
franca.

The only thing Buhari has going for him is that 'in land of the blind, one eye man is the King'

Fulani born to rule is the beginning of this country problem.

criminalmindz:
friends and colleagues from every part of the nation and some of my best friends are not even from my side of the country.

However, recent events are making me to have a deeper reflection and I wish we- Southerners in this instance- can have some kind of introspection. Out of 25 appointments made so far, 18 are from the North, 3 are from the South West, 4 are from the South South while the South East has ZERO appointments. A tweet which I saw today stated that “southerners are only competent when it’s time for elections but northerners are competent in terms of governance” and this made the following thoughts run through my mind:

1. Only Southerners have been accusing fellow Southerners of corruption. Oshiomole has been attacking Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as if Ngozi turned down his marriage proposal. The same Oshiomole tried to make nonsense of Akinwumi Adeshina’s successes in the agriculture sector. Ambode tried to pull Fashola down and successfully smeared him with stains. Maybe that’s why Fashola did not get the Chief of Staff role. I’m yet to see a Northerner accuse another Northerner of corruption, even when they belong to different parties. The closest a Northerner got was when the new Kano State Governor attacked Rabiu Kwankaso but he quickly sheathed his sword and even disowned previous reports of attacks. Why are we like this?

2. Are Southerners the only ones who are corrupt? Were there no northerner heading the ministries and parastatals? Did the outgone Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko not have an alleged case of certificate forgery but he still served out his tenure until he resigned voluntarily? I’m not in support of corruption under any guise but the fight against corruption must not be seen to be sectional.

3. How come it’s easier for the President to believe that Sanni Abacha was not corrupt in spite of recovered loot while it is so easy for him to believe Goodluck Jonathan is irredeemably corrupt?

4. I still remember that aside from God, Tinubu made Tambuwal what he is today. The same Tambuwal would later call Femi Gbajabiamila ‘incompetent’ and rated Dogara as more competent. The same Tambuwal was propped up by Tinubu, a Southerner against a fellow Southerner, Mulikat Akande. Obasanjo was very key to denying Goodluck Jonathan a second term. A good number can still recall how OBJ tore his PDP membership card in public glare. The Northerners find it easy to support themselves but we are always pulling ourselves down. Babangida Aliyu, Sule Lamido and all the other Northern Governors including the former PDP Chairman Adamu Muazu often times refused to campaign for Goodluck Jonathan openly and many times even espoused the virtues of the opposing candidate on the rostrum!

5. Southern leaders and Presidents pull down Southern business men but prop up Northern ones. How many people still remember how Obasanjo ran Mike Adenuga out of town but both Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan made Aliko Dangote what he is today. No northern leader goes against their own. I dare to put it on record that President Buhari will never go against Aliko Dangote for any reason.

6. How come OBJ pardoned Salisu Buhari, the ex-Speaker who forged his credentials and he later was given an appointment as a Governing Council member of a University and heavens did not fall- but when Goodluck Jonathan pardoned Alamieyeseigha it became one of the major issues counted against him? Is there one rule for some and another rule for others?

7. We find it easy to raise our voices in support of the deportation of Buruji Kashamu but have no qualms with Atiku Abubakar strutting around the corridors of power.

8. Only Southerners find it so easy to abuse their elders when they voice opinions not in tandem with the popular opinion. We find it easy to diss Afenifere elders and call them ‘Afenifebi’ while hurling expletives and curses at them. We even abuse our kings and priests. Northerners will never abuse an Emir no matter how unpopular what he said is. Can you imagine any Northerner raising his voice against the Sultan? In spite of Tanko Yakassai, Balarabe Musa and Dangiwa Umar’s perceived support for Jonathan, northern youths did not abuse them. But our own youths run down our elders on social media while our educated elite also support the act.

These are some of the thoughts that have been running through my mind. I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I do this at the risk of being labelled an ethnic bigot. The point however is that Southerners have to get their acts right. We have to put our house in order. The bickering must stop. Let’s engage our emotional intelligence. Let’s not allow others to exploit our tendency to self-destruct.

The answer to southern unity is simple but not easy. Stop the infighting between IGBO' S and YORUBA' S. Until that happens, the south inspite of their educational advancement will continue to be slaves to the BORN TO RULE FULANI MAN.

coolitempa:
Abi o..... ....let us be honest with ourselves and not let the wailers box us into supporting daylight deception....buhari is fast losing support even before he got started......first was the goofing on the 97% stuff in America....very un-presidential and even if he felt it....he should never utter such....then we have the asset declaration deception...then the one meal lies....then the BH matter remains the same....then the extremely lopsided appointments......then no policy direction with no ministers..then anti-corruption which is the only ongoing mantra....even that one sef na wire - just noise.....Dasuki is clearly a personal vendetta....IMO he has done nothing wrong....Buhari is showing himself up as not being able to understand what modern governance is all about...

'What an elder will see sitting down, a young person cannot see it climbing the tree'.

Buhari is a Fulani born to rule supremacist and cannot change. people usually get progressively worse in old age unless they educate and re-educate their minds. unfortunately some 'young people' did or does not want to see this fraud coming.


All shout against GEJ was 'CHANGE OF POWER TO THE NORTH' and nothing more. with all his 'weakness and 'corruption', GEJ is not any less better than Yar A'dua.

For the North, it is about the Presidency and power they 'loaned' the south.

Now they are talking of merit, when for every qualified Northern person , you will find at least 10 in the south. The evidence is in the development in the south compared to the North.

Northern Nigeria is for the elites only unlike south where we push everyone to get educated and get emancipated but I guess Almajiris is will of 'Allah' .

Buhari is simply a waterdown version of Abacha who just want to be President but abdicating his responsibilites other than serving Northeren agenda

The good news is that there was never 'one Nigeria' and there is unlikely to be one. It is a dream but it looks like it turning to a Nightmare

Earthkumy:
Ethnicity is one problem everyone know Buhari with and he promised not to change: to put hausa above everyone Nigerians as their slaves. So no Buhari supporter should claim ignorance. Those who voted against Buhari gave that reason for not voting him.

Infact, the only time Buhari laughs or feel comfortable is when he is on BBC Radio Hausa service.

I have said 1 million times here, 'IF YOU PUT LIPSTIP ON A PIG, IT'S STILL A PIG'

This is a man who is a coupist criminal and nothwithstanding whatever the mitigating circumstances are, dislodging a duly elected civilian government in 1983 via guns is a criminal offence and He has NOT APOLOGISE and does NOT see a reason to apologise.

Apparently, by being elected, he feel 'vindicated' especially with fools who said that 'even if he produces NEPA bill, we will vote for him'

Buhari is a fulani man, and in Nigeria, the Fulani elites are 'BORN TO RULE' and that will NEVER change.

You cannot give what you don't have. The man who was justifying Boko haram is not a friend of Nigeria. All the lies he told during the campaign are coming out.

Smooyis:
Lopsided if you ask me. Many are saying that they do not mind in as much as they deliver. This kind of attitude is what begets sycophancy.

They have forgotten that no one is complete. PMB from my distant observation is weak in the area of having a national outlook at choice of human personnel around him. Call it tribalism if you like.

His advisers are not helping him by letting him know that Nigeria is too big for appointments into key national positions to be confined to a region.

For me, am not a blind supporter.

Well said.

All the southerners don't understand that Buhari is more interested about the North as opposed to Nigeria.

Buhari is a BORN TO RULE FULANI MAN.

If anyone/President from the South attempts this type of appointments, then the Northerners will be up in arms and make the country ungovernable for Southern President.

So, is Buhari claiming he cannot find 3 decent people in the SOUTH?

He is in breach of Federal character spirit, same as he is taking forever to name his cabinet.

Something called. DULLARD came to mind in describing him.

Orji Kalu is saying Rankadede magida Buhari. And he then make a joke in Hausa language.

That was the only reason Buhari was laughing like a man with a new bride.

But both of them are Conmen.

dapsonlou:
You Didn't Even bother to read the Post, His mother's Father is the Premier of Western Region Alhaji Dauda Adegbenro, his own father is the Son of Ooni Adesoji Aderemi Tadeniowo, Who is also my Grandfather. It's not our turn, Its going to The Ademiluyi because their grand father was deposted in 1930, Alausa Adewuyi Was chosen, but he Past the Throne to his Younger Brother Sir AdeSoji Aderemi, because he was Educated an Oxford university graduate . Alausa Adewuyi became the baba Isale of Ife. At the Time he was the Richest black man In Africa.

Ademuluyi are from Lafogido ruling house. It was the turn of GIESI ruling house before Olubuse 11 who ruled on behalf of Ogboru ruling house.

Unless the king maker's are going to skip Giesi family again, it is definitely their turn.
