Then TNC should be bundled and sold to capable private investors...I for one will promote any thing which is private driven. the record is straight on this all government owned institutions and agency always performed below expectation: formerly NITEL, Federal government owned schools, all Federal owned stadiums, Nigeria Airways, NNPC the list goes on.

soloehis:
A welcome development.. We say no to ex military men ..this is democracy.. Let civilians rule their world

Hypocrisy at its best...but the president is an ex military man. shior

ogundeleai:
The same manner pdp got over 400k in Enugun and APC got 10k for a whole state

Its only the delusional one's like you will believe your party is a national party. Even at the federal level, APC ideology is still ethno-religious in coloration...the hall mark of a regional party...one that wimps kins and religious sentiment to garner sympathy. Your really believe an average Fulani/Hausa to be a party loyalist? Then you n=must be born yesterday.

Afospecialk:
Asiwaju is the major nightmare for all PDP so I see no reason why PDP should hide their frustration against Asiwaju achievement


Let them keep wailing

The north are the major influence of political permutation in Nigeria. Tinubu is only riding on the self acclaimed god-like posture of GMB in the north. A man whose influence could not win election in political capital of south west...Oyo state. He could have backed Ribadu or El-Rufia against Atiku to test his delusional influence in national politics. Even with their federal might and open display of rigging and violent, they could not annihilate PDp. like i once said, wait till 2023 and let APC field someone from south and the mai gaski mantra of Buhari will not be factor then the true political weight of Asiwaju would be measured.

atakamus:
So how do we know if the the so called thugs are working for APC. PDP people are full of mischieve. They will be the ones to cry even when they are not innocent.

APC is in power, its only those in power that goes brazen in abuse of power. Why not arrest them if truly they are PDP stocks. A car loaded with thumb printed ballot was intercepted with no single arrest and no mention of the party on the ballots. And you are here theorizing what is obvious.

CEOwatazs:
I swear.... my point exactly. datx why am happy anytym aPC are humiliating PDP. d trth is dt pdp did worst Dan dx

Guy you should be ashamed of yourselves for always repeating this useless line...PDP did this so APC should do worse and i ask why you clamoured for change. Your argument looks like, because my dad did not send me to school so I will not send my children...becuase my dad is poor so i will chose to be poor. Instead of working to improve a mishap because such mishap has tilted to your favour under the guise of change mantra you would rather deteriorate it further and would engage all state apparatus to consolidate your tyrannic and barbaric mindset. Spit.

kufre2010:
One of the many wonders of INEC and APC in Kaduna State:

Accredited Voters: 1,428,895
APC: 1,044,710
PDP: 815,168

Total - 1,858,875.

Now, from the above, void votes are not recorded, the votes of the minor parties are not recorded yet, INEC has a super rising figure above the accredited votes after the end of the election.

Buharig only came to steal, to kill and to destroy.

Nothing is more corrupt than rigging of elections and no man is more corrupt than being a rigger. Buharig is too corrupt.
Nigeria is in a sorry State.

Please allow me quote you so i can have this in my data base.
Sincerely there are no honest men in Nigeria.

drtwist:
No sir. The cancel vote is 141k not registered voters o.check well to confirm

Oga it was so because over voting occurred.

alizma:
Lazy youths, all they know is press phone button to type nonsense. ask majority of those youths on twitter to give stage by stage details of electing and declaring a winner of an electoral process in their country, Nigeria and you will get the shock of your life.
why won't they mock INEC when they don't know the process.
to them, once there is a queue and people on the queue had thumbprint the ballot paper, the next thing is to announce a winner.

Oga your reasoning is inconclusive jaree

RealityShot:
in your mind you are the only one who has read them..


Kwantinu... He who thinks he is wise...

If you heard, you would not have quoted the ruins of the city without factoring the contribution of their philosophers to human kind. it was people like you who never believed in a just and equitable world where the pen should be mightier than the sword that contributed to its ruin. Power mongers and political rogues like we are having in the modern Nigeria society. shior.

RealityShot:
stay there and be reading "philosophy" from people whose nations have crashed and burnt!


where is Greece? Where is Roman empire?


throw all that shii out..


THIS IS NIGERIA...

Every great man is a great political thinker...lack of what has been bedeviling our society and psyche. Lack of also reflects in your poor judgment. we still read and practice what that same Greece and quoted introduced. we still read the works of great Greece thinkers: Aristotle, Plato from whom people like Thomas Hobbes and the rest sprang. You need real education.

RealityShot:
lol...


open your eyes and mind young man!


in 2017 .. Lagos port generated N750 billion


how much did all the SE states IGR amount to combined?


wise up!


they sided with buhari.. SS & SE sided with Atiku.. Who won?


remember same thing happened 4 years ago with Jonathan... Lol!


Buhari tried N/SE ticket severally.. It all failed!


shine your eye

North. North won for Buhari and not south west. South west can not boast of Block voting. You guys should stop commenting like kids. take a bit study of political philosophy.

Udantu:
Calm down inec has suspended it

It only amaze me when some kids thinks South south politics is a child's play; where could intimidate and suppresses voters as obtainable in south west. they are not key board warriors but physically combatant in nature. They would not condone half of what is going on in Lagos politics. the election would be re-conducted with vested interests all on the field especially genuine stakeholders whose party is fielding candidates. Pdp would deploy all its machinery to the sate especially after the general election of today. By then lets see how security agents would bully them together with various observer and monitor groups. lets see how Apc would be physically represented when it has no interest in Rivers. lets see how Ameachi and the Federal government would, after wasting the resources for today allocate another in the full view of every one watching when it has become obvious that they are the one backing the emergence of AAC. Rivers is not Osun state that could not defend itself. Akwa Ibom is a case study.

sangresan:
Is PDP Nigeria?

Some of you are toddlers anyway...

The roof of this country will be brought down if PDP fields a northerner in 2023...

Oga you will tell that to the North when the time comes...remember, politics is a game of interest.

luvmijeje:
And you all think PDP will be foolish to zone its Presidential ticket to a Notherner in 2019 after they would have already spend 8 years. In a party that has more Southerners as Governors. Governors who were angry that Obi, an upstart was picked ahead of them. Governors who are ambitious like every other politicians.

My brother the bitter truth is that Pdp is run on rotational system. as at present, under the pdp constitution, its the turn of the North. that they will continue to fill till a northerner exaust that turn. them fielding a northerner in 2023 si their last joker to win back aso rock... a card the APC played in 2015.

Call it an Ipob analysis i don't care...pragmatically I am for a party with a true national colour. A party that does not hide under the popularity of a candidate to garner votes...a party that could win with at least 40% in each of the six regions of the country. that is a national party. the beauty of democracy is the ability to make choice under no duress, intimidation or threat. Free expression of wills. With the APC is going about its political philosophy, it might end with only Lagos state in two general elections to come.

Lordofthewest:
Nah..This list is not complete they've tampered with the list, I see no chest-beaters on the list only lazy afonjas and almajiri northerners. why nau?

Mind you, the two northerners on the list are recorded with one or two legit sources to their wealth accumulation while those of my brother and sister from the south are shrouded in mystery:
1. A taxi driver and then a billionaire
2. A tailor of one first lady and then an owner of an oil block during same tenure
Questionable wealth

Corrinthians:
I would cut straight to the chase here because I have never felt so appalled by such brazen display of HATE in my whole life.

The 2019 elections have come and gone, and expectedly, there are the victors and the losers, and those whose mighty egos have been bruised, somewhat irreparably. Unfortunately, those who pride themselves as the beacons of literacy and civility have been the ones displaying the worst signs of barbarism and illiteracy.

A video has emerged of a guy, presumably an Atiku/Obi supporter, rebuffing a beggar who approached him, simply because the beggar is of Northern origin! More surprising than the brazen display of hate towards a destitute, are the comments which have trailed the video, especially on this forum. To those who seem to applaud the callous and shameful display of RAW HATE, the beggar deserves it because they aided the reelection of Buhari.

Now, the following questions arise, and these are questions a human with the heart and brain of a human, should ask themselves.

1. Majority of those who claim the election was a sham and that the actual winner is Atiku/obi, what more evidence does one need to prove they dont believe themselves when they say that?

If indeed you believe Atiku/obi won the election, isnt it then likely that AT LEAST 40% of those northerners voted them? We are talking about millions of people here. Allow that sink for a moment.

Therefore, if millions of those people did vote Atiku/obi, then, chances are there's a healthy probably that person towards whom you are directing your hate actually voted the same candidate you voted!!! How then do you justify your HATE for him?? Can you see how hate blinds reason?

2. If you claim Atiku/obi won but rigged out, what exactly concerns a beggar with rigging? Would someone who rigged an election be on the streets bagging? Do you think any of those people seen in those disgusting videos where folks were thumb printing rims after rims of ballot papers would have anything doing in the streets begging? Do the people you saw in those videos look anything like these beggars to you?

3. We take pride in our religion as Christians and those who are seen applauding the barbaric act are same folks who claim to be Christian's and speak of some phantom islamization agenda. Now, what I would like to ask is, what part of our religion encourage such acts of wickedness and hate? Isnt LOVE itself the greatest virtue of Christianity? Or is there some other brand of Christianity out there which we are oblivious of?

As a matter of fact, both frontline contenders to the office are from THE SAME REGION AND RELIGION, so why have we chosen to become so embittered by the loss of one of them? Or is the reaction born more out of Obi's defeat than it is Atiku's?

We thought we had seen it all as per the hate these folks are capable of after jonathan's loss, but from what we are seeing, it is instructive that we the good citizens of this country brave ourselves for the worse. Unfortunately, those pushing us to the precipice happen to be the most dispersed people across this country. There is hardly any corner of the country where you dont find their kith and kin doing business. What then do they think would be the fate of their loved ones if shiit hits the fan? What exactly is there to gain from this show of shame?

The APC endured opposition for sixteen long years under which period they suffered needless damages and oppression by agents of the state. We never saw them demonstrate such vileness. Why then is it so difficult for the pdp and her supporters to stomach just FIVE YEARS of opposition? Had the supporters of APC acted the way we see these guys act today, would there really be any country left to scramble over today? What is there to gain from burning down a country to whose leadership you aspire? Are you planning on ruling over her ashes?

I think it is time the government of the day uses all the resources within her powers, especially with the incoming NASS, to bring some sanity into the social media space before it consumes the country. China is doing it and heavens have yet to fall!!! As a matter of fact, one is tempted to think Nigerians aren't civilised enough to have access to social media if the things we see there every day is anything to go by. Ironically, the people who boast of being civilised are the ones pushing the boundaries of hate on the internet!

There should be a clampdown on those propagating hate in whichever form. If they can't learn to accept defeat like civilised humans do, then they should have no business having their inflammable opinions broadcasted to the general public. Let them keep that pollution to their nuclear families.

Thank you.

Oga if there need be a clamp down, it starts from
1 You the op because you couldn't comment or profess your opinion without mentioning a particular tribe. When does the opinion of one or two person of a tribe represent the general belief of that particular tribe. the way you marshal your points itself is hate
2 the clampdown itself will end up bringing this forum down cause i bet you this forum has created more divide than inter ethnic relationship resulting from its comments section.

For future purpose, I presume we concentrate on the card readers machine for election. Any given area where card readers malfunctions, I believe a new date and time should be set aside and a functional machine provider for that purpose. This will go a long way to minimize the incidence associated with card reading excuses. our law should only, in this age, allow card reader for election.

We await there final comprehensive reports and recommendations as regard the elections. This will avail us the opportunity to appraise the steps being consolidated from the 2015 election reports and recommendations of observer groups.

The Publisher of the online Daily Nigerian newspaper, Jaafar Jaafar, has appeared before lawmakers at the Kano State House of Assembly investigating the bribery allegation against Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.

PREMIUM TIMES published stories from the videos, sourced from Daily Nigerian, which showed the Kano governor receiving bribe in dollars at different instances. The total bribe is said to be about $5 million from persons believed to be contractors to the state.

Although the state government has claimed the video was ‘cloned’ our experts confirmed the authenticity.

Mr Jafaar also stood by the content of the videos when he appeared before the lawmakers at a public hearing on Thursday.

During his cross-examination, he refused to disclose the source that provided him with the video-recording of Mr Ganduje while collecting the bribe.

Earlier, Amnesty International had requested that the Nigerian government ensures the security of Mr Jafaar.

Below is the statement Mr Jafaar made before he was cross-examined by the lawmakers. He also presented material evidence, a hard disk, and other stuff.

STATEMENT BY PUBLISHER/EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF DAILY NIGERIAN AT THE INVESTIGATIVE HEARING OF KANO STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY ON GOV. ABDULLAHI GANDUJE’S BRIBE-TAKING VIDEOS PUBLISHED BY THE ONLINE NEWSPAPER

I, Jaafar Jaafar, am a member of the Board of Directors of Penlight Media Limited, the publishers of DAILY NIGERIAN do hereby submit this statement in answer to the invitation extended to me by the Investigation Panel of the Kano State House of Assembly.

Introduction
1. The DAILY NIGERIAN made a series of publications pertaining to the receipt of several videos of His Excellency the Executive Governor of Kano State, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje collecting of bribe/kickbacks from some contractors in Kano State.



2. Consequent upon the publications, we received an invitation dated October 18, 2018 with reference number KNHA/ADM/VOL .I/04 from the Kano State House of Assembly requesting us to appear before it in the conduct of its constitutional functions as contained in Section 129 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

3. The invitation letter also requested that we submit a written statement containing the incidents pertaining to the investigation.

4. Below is the narration of our understanding of the events as it relates to the videos.

The videos
5. More than two years ago, a contractor friend of mine complained to me that the governor had been receiving kickbacks, ranging from 15 to 25 percent, for every project executed in the state from contractors.

6. We then agreed to plant spy cameras on his kaftan lapel so that he can capture the brazen act in hard evidence. He captured at least 15 clips, nine of which fully showed the governor’s face, body and hands collecting bundles of dollars.

7. Before DAILY NIGERIAN publishes stories, pictures or videos on its website (www.dailynigerian.com), the editors subject them to rigors of verification to establish their authenticity or otherwise.

8. In the case the video clips in question, our in-house technical expert, the editor-in-chief and editorial adviser certified that the videos were original and not doctored contents.

9. Experts from Amnesty International Nigeria, BBC and PREMIUM TIMES also watched the clips and certified their authenticity before we went to press.

10. The first video was published on October 14, 2018 comprising two clips that occurred on two different dates as shown on the videos themselves. The video showed the governor receiving bribe from a contractor in foreign currency specifically the monies were United States Dollar denominated. The video also showed his Excellency tucking these monies under his flowing gown and putting them inside an envelope.

11. We are willing to share the content of the video without any form of editing to assist the committee in its investigation and to share the full clips of the others that were published to the Committee in the cause of the performance of their legislative function



12. We thank the Committee for deeming it appropriate to invite us to make representations before it in respect of this matter

13. Thank you.

Jaafar Jaafar

Editor-in-Chief
, Nigeria.

Can't imagine the majority of respondents to the post weighing their support to the evil ills of exam
malpractice yet yell when someone is caught of corrupt practice. I see; we seems to complain when a particular issue av no bearing on us but fall on the supportive side when such issue replicate our ways of live, shame!
