the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar has placed an order restricting movements within the boundaries of Ekiti State with effect from 6pm on Thursday (yesterday) June 19, 2014 to 6am of Sunday June 22, 2014.

lozanni:
Impunity whether under GEJ or under PMB is impunity and all right thinking persons must oppose it through legal and other non-violent means.
Its Fayose being restricted today; if everyone keeps quiet, it could be you tommorrow (circumstances can change overnight, ask Diya the number 2 man under Abacha) or it could progress to unlawful detentions of the opposition.

Thought u mentioned Ekiti state earlier?

APC Governors Barred From Traveling To Ekiti For Campaign Rally

Nigerian opposition governor was detained on Thursday by security forces on his way to campaign in the southwest Ekiti state before a local election this weekend, an official said. Rotimi Amaechi, one of seven governors to defect last year from President Goodluck Jonathan's ruling party to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), was detained in neighbouring Ondo state while making his way to his airplane.

"He was stopped ... by military personnel who surrounded his convoy and said they had superior orders from above to not let him depart from that location or continue his journey," Ibim Seminitari, information commissioner for Amaechi's Rivers state told Reuters. The airplane had been impounded, she said. "He is still at that location as I speak to you," she said
In a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday by APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said at least three governors – Adams Oshiomhole of Edo, Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers and Rabiu Kwankwanso of Kano – have so far been prevented from making the trip.



It said the helicopter that was to ferry Governor Oshiomhole from Benin to Ado-Ekiti was refused permission to take off from the Benin Airport, while the plane that was flying Governor Kwankwanso to Akure was denied permission to land.

Checks and balances are needed in a democracy.
Fayose should head to court, that way we can get the judicial pronoucement on the threat to impose a travel ban on a sitting Governor in a democracy; it will also help to deepen our democracy and further help to protect the rights of all citizens.
However, Fayose should pay Ekiti state workers their salaries; you cannot see the log of wood in your opponent's eye and ignore the beam of wood in yours.

Firstly, the success of any Administration translates into the success of most, if not all Nigerians.

By this last year, as a diehard optimist, I was cheering, hoping and dreaming of good, responsible leadership.
Uptil September/ October last year, I was still hopeful.

Buhari's comments about 95% and the 5% quickly betrayed his mindset,..that it was deja vu all over again.
No lessons learned.
People, leaders with that kind of mindset have a very very predictable way of dealing with national issues, and so far, he has been on script, almost verbatim.


Ever since , the entire facade has been unravelling.


I don't know why Buhari should be considered to be above criticisms, considering that he and his supporters did so much of it just a little more than a year ago.

We need to criticize our leaders more, a lot more.
It is our previous docility and apathy that has worked against us in enthroning good responsible leadership over the many decades.

We need to demystify leadership.
Leaders need to fear the people they lead, not the other way round.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference .

Lol.
He doesn't owe you a speech by speech analysis to prove anything.
He came to his conclusion after listening to the speech.
Millions of people reached same conclusion.

I , personally, even with my harsh criticism of this government, had an expectation that his speech would have been more reconciliatory, more humble, more recognition and acceptance of mistakes made in the past 12 months, taking full responsibility for current economic situation under his watch, and promising to consult more, listen more and do more.

Buhari is sure turning out to be a tragedy of misplaced trust.

TPAND:
Whew...Oturugbeke.

This is economy crippling mission number 1. Boko Haram were killing and taking lives... We were feel remorseful these ones are blowing pipelines and it seems to be affecting every Nigerian and the economy.

ND Avengers I beg you in the name of Baba God... Make una accept dialogue with FG.

Buhari please give these guys more money, opportunities and jobs like GEJ and Yar A'dua did.

HardMirror:
This happened January last year (2015), but I want to share my experience because of the lessons therein.

It is a Mazda pickup I use for my Job (I have an engineering company), so it comes in handy when moving materials to site.

Before the day of the accident, about 2 weeks before then to be precise, one of my workers took the vehicle out and had an accident with it that damaged the front axle of the vehicle.

Mechanics around the area were unable to replace it immediate so I decided to take it to lagos for repairs.

Unfortunately I had a contract in osogbo I was yet to complete.

Instead of taking my other vehicle (a Lexus which was not going to be suitable for site work), I took the pickup despite it's wobbly front tires.

Long story short, I was getting used to driving this vehicle despite it's poor state.

So on this day I was driving at 120km/h and the vehicle didn't feel wobbly. So I kept the high speed. All of a sudden there was this large pothole ahead. I could not brake sharply so I tried to maneuver to the shallow portion of the pothole.

Next thing I knew, the vehicle was spinning out of control.
Next the vehicle somersaulted!

Now you would wonder why I am posting this in the religion section

People say we atheists would run back to God at the point of death.
Blatant delusion. I am absolutely not afraid of death. INFACT, I am prepared to die young. Don't care about living old.

I came out of the wreckage with the vehicle upside down and people were praising God. I was smiling to myself. They kept saying it was God that saved me blah blah blah.

Note: this was my second major accident as an atheist and in both, I never thought about God, heaven or hell.
[/b]

I travel a lot and I see people praying everywhere living in fear of death. Even on airplanes, you see people praying. Shouting Jesus every time the plane Vibrates (turbulence or air pockets).

It makes me wonder what freedom religion especially christianity and islam has given people.

You travel by road it is even worse. I was once in a bus where 3 different people asked us to close our eyes for prayers as if the first prayer was not enough.

You see people coming to give testimony in church as if people who die are not religious too. Even people going on evangelism die in accidents.

So who is really free? The Atheist or Theist? After all, it is said that you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free

kenonze:
I Don't support situations where ministers will be making reference to GEJ administration when we all talking about CHANGE.
However Mr President has to look into this Accommodation wahala. Its getting to a yr and we are still talking about Accommodation.
In which ever package the Accommodation should come, let PMB fix it in his own term. To me its embarrassing.

Luciferlove:
I dont have time to read your long epistle...What you refused to tell us is that while Chibok girls was political the Ese story was driven by passion and afliction of a poor mum.

seguno2:
When will these DISTRACTIONS end?
Can we expect governance anytime soon?
No fuel!
No power!!
No money!!!
After one year of change?
Where are we heading

Ariani:
The same political arrangement that made Adaka Boro the Student union president in an Igbo dominated pre war UNN.
The same political arrangement that saw the emergence of Obong of Calabar as the head of the Eastern region house of chiefs, ahead of Igbo traditional chiefs like Eze aro, Eze nri and Obi Nnewi.
Same that allowed a Fulani man to stand elected as the Mayor of Igbo capital city.
You are dabbling into what you know nothing about. I understand that as a Yoruba, inter ethnic politics is hard for you to grasp, seeing as the Yorubas never had to deal with anybody else in day to day living other than their fellow Yoruba people.

cocoduck:
Yes you are right that Zik was the one who brought this mess, the evidence being also that Nigeria would have gotten independence in 1957 but the north opposed it then zik said he would not allow independence if the north did not partake, them the independence was postponed till 1960, that action provided the Brits all they needed to do what they wanted.
As for a country where a tribe can be 50% population is entirely feasible, even with the minor tribes winning a presidential election, it all depends on the organization of the country, BTW you can not be termed minor when you are in your ancestral compound, it is impossible, but in Nigeria to show you how absurd this country is, it's the norm, a situation where your origin is more important than where you reside is a good recipe for chaos. Your place or residence should be first not place of origin for a country to be united.

Ariani:
It was not the British that imposed one Nigeria on us, it was the Igbos. The British gave us the opportunity to go our separate ways during independence, the Hausas and Yorubas were ready to go it alone, but zik and his tribesmen said no,

There was never a time Zik or anyone had the power to disintegrate Nigeria, the British never made the disintegration of Nigeria an option. I find it funny when Yorubas assign mystical power of Nigeria disintegration to Zik.

If you have an independent( not Ibadan press) print evidence of the British ever offering Nigerian regions the option of independent existence, Post it here let me see. This Ibadan propaganda had lasted a lot, it's time it's totally debunked and expunged.

The North wanted to continue under the British rule, they were delaying the independence day, Zik worked to hasten the independence day. How exactly does that equate to Zik having the mystic powers of dividing the British Nigeria.

During a national conference in 1954, the party opposed a call to include the right of secession – a stance which was later exploited by the North and the West to deny the East the right to secede in the Nigerian Civil War. It had argued that the country was not a league of forced nations and it would be ruinous to include such right. The policies of the party, from its inception favored a countenance of determined expression for self-government and nationalism. The major aims of the party taken on subsequent campaigns at home and abroad were as follows.

The extension of democratic principles and advancement of the interest of the people of Nigeria and Cameroons under British mandate.
The imparting of political education to the people of Nigeria in order to prepare them for self-government.
The provision of medium of expression for members of NCNC through which they would endeavor to secure for Nigeria and the Cameroons, political freedom, social equality, religious toleration and economic activity.

Sctests:
The Imperialist British have ZERO resources but use their house niggars in the colonies and ex-colonies to control the resources there.
That's why they always recognise those ex-colonies the way they left it anytime the liberators and seccesionists wants to change geo-political map of those ex-colonies.

Go and read the book- Biafra: Britain's shame by Auberon Waugh a journalist who was on ground and about wrote for The spectator, a British tabloid. He documented the evil that Britain represented in Biafra and the British government engineered his sack from his job.
Him and his pro-Biafran colleagues took it up and won damages for unfair dismissal.

His book on British evil in Biafra was even banned from being sold for sometime. That book cannot be SHIPPED to Nigeria as we speak.

In the eyes of the British, Nigeria still remains the Royal Niger Company-their war booty, (Today, even the US cannot interfere in Nigeria matters without British consent) and the British sponsored the war against Biafrans so that companies like shell can have 40% of your resources while their good hausa and fulani house niggars take the rest.


It's simple logic but can the 'One Nigerianist' buffoons in the south especially understand?

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to understand reality.[2] Common symptoms include false beliefs, unclear or confused thinking, hearing voices, reduced social engagement and emotional expression, and a lack of motivation.[2][3] People with schizophrenia often have additional mental health problems such as anxiety disorders, major depressive illness or substance use disorder.[4] Symptoms typically come on gradually, begin in young adulthood, and last a long time.[3][5]


Schizophrenia is often described in terms of positive and negative (or deficit) symptoms.[27] Positive symptoms are those that most individuals do not normally experience but are present in people with schizophrenia. They can include delusions, disordered thoughts and speech, and tactile, auditory, visual, olfactory and gustatory hallucinations, typically regarded as manifestations of psychosis.[28] Hallucinations are also typically related to the content of the delusional theme.[29] Positive symptoms generally respond well to medication.[29]

Just listen to urself, did the last administration give them dollars? The right economic policies would liberalize the forex market and we'd move in the right direction. When you support a dullard, you become worse than a dullard

amyzon:
The thing is that our government will never stop playing politics and govern this country. The only lasting solution to this problem is to free this sector completely. Legalize those small small illegal refineries. Let any one who wants to refine get his equipment and refine, sell crude to them. Train them if u want and regulate the quality. With dat u will stop vandalism, create alot of employment, correct all this forex problem, constant power supply, and build our gdp

bender79:
So naira has become shit...

frenchwine:
zombies above me would never cease to amuse me. How they jump to government's defense all the time makes us believe they are paid per post to defend the government. These guys are asking for assistance in sourcing forex, the forex market which fg goofed by shutting down and some nitwits are saying what I don't understand. Later you would crawl back to your miserable hole, no light, no fuel, no food. Your only consolidation is that you have charged your phone at a vendor which enables you come online and spew thrash

The rescued girl is not the same girl on the pic.I don't know why people are pretending to be blind (1)The distance between the two ears of the gal in the pic is wider than that of the rescued girl.In a simple analogy,if u drag a picture sideways during picture editing,the face will appear stretched in East West direction.(2)The girl in the pic has flat lips that can close perfectly while the rescued girl has pointed lips that closes partially.(The rescued girl has pointed nose while the girl in the pic has flat nose.There other factors such as complexion,age as at when she enrolled for sure.

linuxuser:
Your post brings up some points to address.

1. WAEC have a standand from region to region you said?. In that wise one picture is allowed in the north and another in the west of south?

2. In what language do they do their english/maths/bilogy/physics/accounting/government in the north?. All these are done in hausa language? if someone cannot speak a language, how would that person be able to do a comprehension and essay in that language?

3. How old is this girl now?

4. How long did she walk from the forest to where she was found?
5. Was she carrying her 5 months baby with her while escaping from the forest or she later went back to pick the child up?
6. Where was the so called husband found too? In the forest or nearby?

Before asking us to rejoice in deception, please help with the above and then we can take your words for serious.
