Penguin2:
Nobody showed enthusiasm, Mrs Bigot.

Just accept that you and your husband can grab power but you can’t grab people’s hearts.

Ndi ala!

Ndi lose and loli

ShenTeh:
If they are that sure, let her or and her husband walk unaccompanied on the streets of that nursing school.

Which president does that?

Earthstorms:
You are assuming that the source is illegal.

The man might just be scared of declaring such amount of money to Nigerian officials.

He can be followed and killed to steal that money from him. It has happened before where police killed someone just to steal the money they found in his car.

If such money is legit he will wire it through the bank. He doesn't want to be tracked.

Juoflife1:
I don't understand this. Will someone be arrested if they declare huge amount of money? He should have told them he's been
living in the US for a long time and saved his money in cash. Is that a crime?

You must document your source which will be verified. No man that earns legit money will bring in $299k cash. Even the country of origin will not allow it. This is illegal money and the man is aware.

Earthstorms:
These efcc people are not serious.

So a man brings in 299,000 USD,

You counted the 299,000 USD and found out that 250 USD out of 299,000 USD is fake.

If a man want to bring in fake currency, will he bring in only 250 USD as fake out of a total of 299,000 USD?

They simply counted the money the man brought in and picked out 5 pieces as fake just to find something to charge the man with.

Bringing foreign currency into the country should not be criminalized, the penalty for such should be made clear, either a fine or forfeiture of the fund is adequate.

Just because a man did not declare his own money should not be reason to want to jail a man, it is not like the man is taking the money out of the country.

Story.... it's like this all over the world. If you are bringing in any amount in cash that is more than $10k you must declare it so that you can be interrogated on the source of the money and your reason for bringing such amount in cash.

The man knows that the source of the money is illegal that is why he hid it.

aikyg:
Greed and stupidity! You have $299,000 of real dollars and you now decided to add $250 of fake dollars. Even if you discovered the fake $250 and after you bought real $299,000, you could have just destroyed the fake $250. Village people!

Bringing $299k in without declaration is an offence. He's aware that the source of money is illegal.

Rexymania:
Why always this man? This man duh suffer for Nigerians hand

The fools are just exploiting his humility and call to do all these nonsense. He has all the powers to lock up these people and throw the keys into the ocean.

If they trace the person behind this, arrest and lock him up forever then the same haters will say that a pastor didn't show mercy.

ogbonti:
On the contrary - Benue, Plateau, Kogi etc People with all the trouble of Fulani herdsmen attack do not consider themselves northerners but middle belters, what nakes you think a party that us strong in Sokoto will be strong in Adamawa and Taraba? stop these your fear mongering- Presidentialism is not working, eeeed to try something else…

haba your stockholm syndrom is to anothet level - 25 years of going through failure, you want usto be stuck in it

Nigeria is not matured politically for Presidential system-


These fools here saying they do not want parliamentary system here fail to realize

1. There will be a shadow cabinet that means, the opposition will be payed and politicians will be more relaxed not to defect to ruling party

2, There will robust debates always before money is spent and no one President can capture all the arms of government as we see now

3. Elections will be cheaper to conduct because you are only focused on your federal constituency and not the whole country

4. This will attract the best and the brightest members of the society to represent their people - Drug lords and criminals wont make it there

5. The shadow cabinet brings in a better opposition not like what we see now where politicians only wait for the next election

6. The Prime Minister is the Head of Government and the President has powers too to check mate the Legislative arm so there is balance

7. It is not a winner takes it all situation - coalitions exist and every party tries to outperform the other to gain the people consent always

8. The President and the Prime Minister (who are members of different parties must work together) not One man becoming a King over all

9. Tribal Marginalization will reduce as at least 95% of all tribes will have a chance to seat at the Federal Parliament with their Representatives

10. The Institutions like INEC, Police, Army , CBN etc are stronger in Parliamentary systems due to strong oversights.


It was during Parliamentary system we had 23 years old Matthew Mbu become a Federal Ministern in this Nigeria - Can that happen today?

With Hundreds of Billions of Nigeria required to contest Presidential election ? so when that All powerful President emerges, why will he

any 23- year old who did not contribute anything financially substantial to his campaign?

Why are you wasting your time explaining. Majority do not understand. Presidential system is very expensive. The military brought it because it makes the center strong. Everyone agrees now that the center is too strong and overbearing.

DrWokili:
"A bill for an Act to alter the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, to provide for the office of the Prime Minister as head of government and the office of President as head of state and to provide for a framework for the mode of election to the said offices, has passed second reading in the House of Representatives, News360 Nigeria reports."

INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON HOW TO ENCOURAGE THE LOCAL TALENTS, INVENTORS, FARMERS, AND THE STRUGLING MANUFACTURERS TO PRODUCE WHAT WE CONSUME IN NIGERIA, THEREBY CREATING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL EVENTUALLY STRENGTHEN THE FARMISHED NAIRA, THESE MAURADERS IN THE GARMENT OF LEADERS WILL STOP AT NOTHING IN THEIR QUEST TO EXPAND THE BUREAUCRACY THAT CAN NOT BE SUSTAINED BY THE SHRINKING REVENUES. THANKS TO SYSTEMATIC CORRUPTION THAT SUCKS THE FUNDS!

FEDERAL UNIVERSITIES ARE BEING CHUNED OUT WHILE THE EXISITING ONES ARE DIPLATED. THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMISIONS ARE BEING ESTABLISHED TO CREATE AVENUES FOR STEALING. WHAT WILL BE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE RELEVANT MINISTRIES AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS?

ANOTHER NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISION IS TO BE ESTABLISED TO CONDUCT LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS! THESE RULERS THINK THE BEST MAGIC WAND TO RESOLVE THE EXISTENTIAL CHALLENGES THREATHENING NIGERIA IS NOT TO MERCILESSLY CONFRONT CORRUPTION BUT TO CREATE THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE?

ARE WE SURE THESE LEADERS DONT NEED MENTAL EXAMINATION? THESE LEADERS ARE THOUGHTLESS AND VERY SICK UPSTAIRS! NGERIA IS A THEATRE OF JOKERS. I THINK THE BEST WAY TO MAINTAIN SANITY IS TO STOP READING THE NATIONAL NEWS.

Just agree that you don't understand the parliamentary system. Ask for explanation

athaboi:
what is the meaning of all this commission exactly...very unserious country

Gradually we are headed towards regional government which has been the desire of the south. It balances development and takes care of unique needs.

Slimm01:
Tinubu just rushing to achieve all his aims within first term because he is skeptical he may not return for second term. Opportunity comes...but once. Lol.

Your abaribe that has been there for donkey years what has he done for the South East? Only showmanship

press9jatv:
Ezekwesili is virtuous woman

Virtuous? Meaning....

Davoski001:
We are at war. As a man in this life, you must believe in something, you must fight for something… identify yours!

Ask any biafrian that was an adult during the civil war. Ask the Congolese, Sudanese and Ukrainians and they will tell you what war look like.

Believe in Obi? Never.... I believe in my God and self. I'm fighting for my tomorrow and not any Nigerian politician.

Davoski001:
Kanu ? lol. You must think I’m stupid to believe a man who says a president was changed from Buhari to Jibril.

Nigga, trust me, anything happens to Obi unjustly, nor be cho cho cho. You go see the war you go believe. Even the army they intend to use, there would be war amongst themselves.

On my own part, if na Wetin go end me, make e BE.

Have you seen war before? If you see war you no go invite war. Obi dey carry his cross. He want to add to his profile "president" not my profile. The one wey him be governor before wetin I gain? Abeggy

Wahala. Is the man a horse 🐎

Davoski001:
If e sure for you , let anything happen to HE Peter Obi first, then we go know how far from then on ..

Wetin go happen? Na so una say for Kanu. Where he dey for almost 10 years na? My people sabi beat chest eeh.

shortgun:
Who is Onanuga to warn Peter Obi?
The tribal bigot should know how to turn in his circle.
Where's the lie in what Peter Obi said?
Has democracy and the economy not collapsed under Tinubu's government?

How??

Maxymilliano:
The gathering storm ....

Indeed the Tsunami that swept Jonathan out of office is building up against Tinubu

This one is a lie. Parties merged to defeat Jonathan but in this case only individuals are merging.

Sermwell:
Your brain cannot process this kind of conversation! Go and look for something else to talk about

I only asked questions in response to what you stirred up.

Sermwell:
The judge doesn't have any business receiving honour from any school until he retires!
How will he be unbias in a case involving Unical?

Is there a written law? So a judge shouldn't have friends? How will he be unbiased in a case involving his friend? Throughout his career there should be no friends but enemies?

Are they talking of coalition of politicians or coalition of parties? Coalition of politicians will not win election. Only coalition of parties will. Unlike the birth of APC all the politicians involved have no parties that they control. So how will they win? When there's coalition of parties their governors and other people in elective offices will move with them. This is how they will win election. If they move alone the members of their parties will go their own way.

What worked for APC was merger. Coalition is very loose and cannot work. Merger is not even easy. In Nigerian political history it has only happened once and that is APC. Don't be fooled by the figures of 2023. So many factors played in. No federal might for all the candidates. Even PBAT's party even worked against him. The Igbo and Muslim Muslim sentiments worked for Obi. Again the element of surprise helped him. PBAT didn't believe that Obi could pull such weight. Going forward PBAT will oil his machine very well waiting for Obi. For example Obi can never come close to what he did in Lagos in 2023.

Therefore the present coalition is coalition of confusion. They should start planning merger ahead of 2031. The field will be more level then subject to the performance of PBAT.

This Obi's sweet love 💕 affair with PDP. Everything PDP now is beautiful. OBJ, Atiku, Yaradua and Jonathan are the best. The same party that he condemned in 2023. Politicians are politicians. No difference.

Does it mean that opposition means condemn everything that is done by the party in power? Whether good or bad? Don't discuss with the government? Don't offer ideas? Is this the Nigerian brand of opposition?

Atuero:
Lolz
Why then must he be given a seat near Wike knowing fully well how controversial Wike is in the current polity?
Sometimes I just wonder what Wike stands to gain from controversy

A man that keep on bragging of how he supported politicians all over the country with River state money and the government looks away from that.

Nigeria can never get better a Tinubu government

He must sit one million miles far from Wike even if the university invited him to honour him like Wike abi?

Racoon:
Nigeria's democracy fared relatively better OBJ, Yar'Addua, Goodluck Jonathan. However, since the advent of these current demons in government, it was more of increasing lawless autocrats and tyrants.

Nay.... OBJ operated like a boys company. Changing Senate presidents at will. Removing governors at will. During his time you dare not go against his will. Even ordinary local musician that sang Nigeria jagajaga, he fought him. That was why he never agreed with his vice. Hatred blurs objective.

ElevationD:
If he could pay salaries among others as was stated, what makes you think that such bill among others, was not brought to his attention?

With the way the country is run, please point us to the direction of a sincere leader presently among those in power.

As a sponsor has he not got the right to pay what he wants to pay? It's the height of hypocrisy and deceit for a private citizen like me to have paid my ground tax up to 2025 but a party that ruled for 16 years to be owing theirs for 20 good years.

ElevationD:
When the said billions were raised in 2014, Wike was the minister of education. After the 2015 election, PDP as a party went broke. It was openly stated that Wike financed the party solely from that period. One of Wike’s right to his now vexatious PDP presidential ticket, was his sponsorship of the party. The question to Wike should be why he failed to pay the ground rent of 28.5 on behalf of his then beloved party?

If Wike did not have the plans to destroy PDP from within, why did he not pay the bill and get the party to refund him. His position as the minister put him in advantage to push his so called beloved party to sort out the bill.

The truth remains that Wike is deeply aggrieved with PDP. His only objective now is to retain his position. If he will do that, he must ensure that BAT wins Abuja and Rivers state in 2027. Whatever happens to PDP is no longer his business. He must destroy PDP from within. As far as he is is concerned, he is an APC member in disguise.

Extremely biased comment. Was Wike the chairman, secretary, chairman of bot, financial secretary etc? As mere sponsor is it not what was brought to you that you will attend to?

A party that ruled but couldn't pay the ground tax of her national Secretariat for 20 good years. What is the claim of such party to sincere leadership?

Oloniyan:
Are you from Usi Ekiti?

Nay... from Owerri West

When she opens her legs just close your nose 👃

96ACE:
Same way everyone wanted to be president before Buhari emerged.

Nay.....it was carefully planned. Leverage on popularity of Buhari up north and use BAT to galvanized the south especially south west. Allow Buhari to first run and BAT later.

Collapse the parties into one.

Which parties are you collapsing into one now? Who amongst them will be ready to step down for the other? Who is the powerful rallying point up north and south? Who will be ready to spend his money heavily without being the presidential candidate?

Unlike Jonathan, they will face a powerful political thinker backed by federal might. My brother leave political noise makers and think.... think think.

AgroBizSolution:
What an unbelievable statement... Which community will make such edible a forbidden?

It's forbidden in my community too.

96ACE:
Jonathan a southern president underestimated the power of coalition and paid heavily for it, Tinubu another southern president is facing another coalition, one that’s even going to be more stronger than that of 2014 and all you can say is that they’re disgruntled. Don’t worry at all, just chill and watch history repeats itself.

This cannot be stronger anything. Everyone of them wants to be president.
