This is good move from PDP... I have always known that one day GEJ will be vindicated from all the hideous propaganda fabricated against him by APC press to satisfy their gullible supporter.

Publish the handover note and allow the masses judge

By Emman Ovuakporie & Johnbosco Agbakwuru
ABUJA—-


THE House of Representatives, Tuesday, asked President Muhammadu Buhari to publish the
handover note of the former President Goodluck
Jonathan for the people to have the first hand
knowledge of performance of the past
administration.

The House resolved that publishing the handover
note would help to access the performances of the
past administration as well as helping the public to
know whether the country moved forward or
backward in the life of the administration.

The mover of the motion, Rep. Uzoma Nkem-Abonta, PDP, Abia State, had in the motion stated that it was the right of Nigerians to know what was in the handover note, noting that for now, the handover note was only known by government officials.

He also said that it would help to ascertain the
position of the treasury when the last administration handed over to the present one and also the level of problems inherited by the government in power.

Abonta further stated that the essence of the
handover note was to institute transparency and
accountability in governance, adding that it was in
line with the philosophy of President Buhari.

Omo! Try and see

no matter how much you try to suppress the true... Oneday it will surface.

Our president is so naïve as far as democracy is concern .

I smell lies!!! Igbo Enemies at work ...

Lordemperoris100:
Wow, i agreed.so tell buhari to Let us go

biafra

He said better off with igbos, not better off without igbos

danjumakolo:
Nna don't deceive Nigerians.
The Wikipedia story was told by a se apologists.
Truth is the biafran soldiers blew the bridge and ran to asaba to hide in civilians houses,most even took off there cloths and pretended to be civilish.
What do you expect?Of course,the Nigerian constitution for a sessionist was invoked on them.

You try that shiit again,you get the same treatment

From your write up it's obvious u have never been to asaba. The bridge is the only way connecting asaba and onitsha... If the biafran soldiers bomb the bridge, they ought to be moving back to onitsha and not asaba as u said. How can a man cut his head and run away.
Go and read and stop infecting the innocent minds with your baseless stories

Nigeria’s wartime leader, Gen Yakubu Gowon, says
“Nigeria is better off with Igbos.” He spoke while
delivering an oration at the burial service for Chief
(Mrs.) Chinyere Asika, wife of the former Sole
Administrator of East Central State; just as the
governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano,
described the deceased as a woman who exemplified the virtue of patience, charity and humility. The service took place at the All Saints Anglican Cathedral, Onitsha, Anambra State.

Gowon’s declaration was borne out of a deep
appreciation of the commitment and sacrifice of the
deceased and her husband, Ajie Ukpabi Asika, to the survival of Nigeria as one entity. The former Head of State recalled that when he proposed the post of Sole Administrator of East Central State, Asika told me, “I prefer to do this for the good of Igbo people.”

He went on: “I was struggling to get an administrator for the newly created East Central State when the name of the late Ukpabi Asika came up. He was then a lecturer at Ibadan. When we met, I did not know which one of us was younger. But he exuded strength of character and understanding, and wanted to start work immediately. I cautioned him to think about it. I told him, `you must consult your brothers, and your wife to know if you would accept’. I came away convinced that this was the man I needed.

“I did not know how to place his wife, Chinyere, but
when she arrived from Kenya, she plunged head-on
into the idea. She was a courageous woman, caring
and humble. I remember her efforts in “Otu Olu
Obodo”- a public service initiative which she used as a tool of empowerment for her Igbo kinsmen and women.”

Obiano told the children and the Asika family to
imbibe the virtues of patience, charity and humility
from Mrs Asika, while urging the congregation and
Ndi Anambra to remember “her good deeds and
pray for the repose of her soul.”

The service was attended by many prominent
personalities including a former Minister of Defence, Gen T.Y. Danjuma, who represented President Muhammadu Buhari.

OPCNAIRALAND:
If an army plant flag on your soil, it means one thing....we are your new rulers!

Biafra planted flag on ND soil and instructed them to start learning Ibo language.

Those who removed the flag are the heroes that rescued and saved ND, otherwise your lingua franca and national anthem today will be Biafran themed.

Ojukwu's deputy Effinog is frm Niger delta... Hope u know that ?

RepEnugu:
please,christine and wisdomguy4u is it possible to switch to law cuz am currently in my 100l mass comm in the uni though I applied for law initially but they gave me mass comm. now I want to know if its possible to switch over to law. thanks

Find out from your school authorities if it's done in your school. I know in some schools, if you get a high GP in your first year, you will be given the opportunity to apply for higher course if you so want .

If you are not careful , the newspapers will get you hating the people who are been oppressed , and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

Post the video or we don't believe it

Video of buhari saying all this or we don't believe it.

Post the video!!!

christinie:
A former neighbour of mine was sent home by her husband who alleged adultery. The man was convinced by their housemaid that the wife was a cheat. He sent her and her 3 female children packing and now lives with the housemaid. The lady admitted to cheating on the man because he had a live-in-lover in his base abroad and has a male child from that relationship.
She is seeking for a legal redress.
What would you advise her to do apart from going to court, going to the Min. Of Women Affairs, Human Rights centres , Multi Door Court and also reporting the matter to the king of her village (customarily). I told her that marriage is not by force, that the least the court can do for her is to order the man to pay for the children's upkeeps as children's interest is paramount in divorce matters and maybe her house rent. What is your take on this?

Infidelity is a good ground for divorce in marriage... What you told her is the right thing.

Lol :DLol

Oh! Mere rumour

Buhari it's not all about talking to satisfy your gullible supporters, it's about action

*Express worries over exchange rate, resolve to
meet President

By Henry Umoru

ABUJA — THE 36 state governors cried out,
yesterday, over the worsening economic crises in the country and the failure of the Federal Government to release to them the bailout promised by President Muhammadu Buhari sometime ago. The governors, who operate under the aegis of Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF, at their meeting which started Wednesday night and ended in the early hours of yesterday, complained that the
comprehensive relief package designed by the
Federal Government to salvage the economic crisis of the states was yet to get to them.

The governors also expressed concern over the
exchange rate of the dollar to the naira as well as
other foreign currencies which has affected the
nation’s economy. President Muhammadu Buhari
They have, therefore, resolved to meet the President again over the issue.

It will be recalled that President Buhari had approved a $2.1 bn intervention package to help bankrupt states pay salaries. Twelve of the 36 states of the federation were said to be owing their workers more than $550 million in salaries and allowances, with some workers not paid for seven months.

Briefing journalists after the meeting, chairman of
NGF and Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari,
said that the Federal Government has not bailed out
any state under the bailout arrangement as
publicised, stressing that what the state got so far
was the monthly allocation from the Federation
Accounts, Allocation Committee, FAAC and the
dividends from Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas, NLNG.

Governor Yari said: “This is also to inform our friends in the media that the Federal Government has not given any bailout to any of the states. What had been shared the last time was monies from NLNG and FAAC. As we have been saying, rather than look out for bailout, we have been looking for all monies that are in the coffers of the federation to be brought together for the purpose of sharing.

“The CBN governor raised some issues that taking
the monies from those accounts, most especially as
our reserves are going down, will affect the exchange rate and as well put pressure on the naira. So they decided to make the naira available or its equivalent so that these can be taken as loan for some of the states that are complaining about payment of salaries.

“The Federal Government has, however, not given out any bailout yet. But we have been deliberating on how best the intervention will be done quickly so that we will be able to settle the issue of salaries and other operations of government in the country.” According to him, the resolutions reached at the meeting were:

*To discuss with Mr. President to seek lasting
solutions to the worsening macroeconomic
challenges confronting the nation, especially on
foreign exchange stability.

*The forum pledges to work with Mr. President to
ensure coherent policy actions that will create a clear policy direction for the country and stimulate
domestic production.

*To collaborate with the Federal Government to
ensure that the National Health Act is operational
and the on percent funding for primary health care is provided for in the budget.

Winna01:
st"pid question

I wonder what you are looking for in a joke forum...

A new way to bombard gullible Nigerians with lies .... Maybe boko haram should open their own radio station.

If Nigeria military is defeating boko haram, they don't need radio to make the masses know.

Like seriously , Dating a slim girl could be confusing a times,u don't know if she needs love or food.

aariwa:
I wonder why a beautiful thread like this is being derailed by mostly non lawyers.Op I am a lawyer in a federal govt.agency just like you&our parent ministry is fed.ministry of justice. Basically we prosecute cases on behalf of govt.pls I have two questions.first is it a must in the filling of a charge to depose to an affidavit that investigation has been concluded in the case,also will such affidavit be tendered in court in the course of the trial.Secondly is filling and serving proof of evidence on a defence counsel a must in a trial?Thank you.

Looking at your first question, I have never heard of affidavit of investigation. what's need to be done is charge the accused to court after investigation and provide the court with compelling evidences discovered during investigation incriminating the accuse. The onus is on the court to decide if the evidence tendered is enough to convict the accused.
In the second question.. The prosecution is mandated to provide the defence counsel with all evidence obtain against the accused during investigation.. This is in other to help him prepare his defence brief .

ABUJA-Former Deputy Speaker, House of
Representatives, Hon. Chibudom Nwuche has urged
President Mohammadu Buhari to remove oil subsidy, saying that is the only way to tackle corruption.

Nwuche said that the continued subsidization of
petroleum products will only benefit the rich while
the supposedly poor masses get poorer. The former Deputy Speaker spoke to Journalists in
Abuja at the weekend. He called on the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN and the organized labour to support the president for the removal of the subsidy.

According to him, the subsidy does not also benefit
most people in the south east and south south zones of the country.

He said: “I used to be in the Oil and Gas sector before going into politics. I believe that subsidy is not good for Nigeria. I say this without bias in the sense that those who benefit from the subsidy are not the poor. It is those traders who engaged in slope, who engage in round tripping that benefit from the subsidy.

“Which subsidy of petroleum products? People are
buying the products above the controlled price. I
don’t think you can buy AGO at the official price in
Ekeremor or in Ahoada. “The price is determined by the middlemen and the dealers. So the subsidy they are paying is to enrich those people to buy private jets at our expense. IPMAN and the rest of the Labour unions should come together and support the president to remove subsidy. It is a waste of money. It is fraudulent. It is allowing corruption.”

Nwuche who was a former Federal Lawmaker
between 1999 and 2003 also appealed to present
Buhari not to forget the people of Niger delta in his
government. He specifically urged him dredge the Calabar sea port and site projects in the zone to develop the area.

“We want the Buhari’s government to see our people from the South-South as his people. The South-South has traditional alliance with the north until today.That alliance was strengthened from Tafawa Balewa’s time. Our people will give his government all the support he needs to realise his objectives for Nigeria. In return we want him to take us as his own and assist us to site projects in our area.

“To empower our youths, many of whom are jobless and to empower our businessmen who didn’t get any patronage from the government for so many years. For instance, if you look at the South-South, the major road from the Refinery in Portharcourt to Bayelsa, Yenagoa to Benin the road is not good, nothing has been done and as far as Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers State, the road is in a total disrepair. “We urge him to assist us to make that road function. And there is also the issue of Calabar Sea Port which is important to us. Our traders have to land their goods in Lagos and then pay an additional cost by road to take them to Portharcourt and the East. That is not necessary. We want them to dredge the Calabar port and make it functional to be an International Sea port like in Lagos. It will help Nigeria and it is also even nearer to some parts of the North than Lagos. Those from Benue State doing business get their goods from Lagos.

“If the Calabar port is made functional, they can get
their goods from there, likewise some parts of the
North. So our priorities should be to dualize and
repair the road from Calabar to Akwa Ibom through
Aba to Portharcourt, then through Ikot Abasi to
Portharcourt and then from Portharcourt to Bayelsa
to Edo State.

“These are the major routes in the South-South and
that is where the oil production and distribution to all parts of the country is carried out. He should also ensure that our people are given their fair share of appointments at the federal level because we are one country and we have our own problems in the South- South”, he said.

What a big LIE! Business competitors at work. This was exactly what they did to indomie . Pple are so daft to believe any claim they hear without thinking outside the box

MrMcJay:
Weren't you the one calling GMB Daura Dull.ard and lately, Buhari?

I'm surprised you are drawing government salary and still calling the President names.

I'm a legal practitioner (Real Estate, Corporate and Investments) and I'm ashamed of you. Keep your bigotry within yourself and don't advertise your reprehensible scruples online.

*Spits on thread.

Shut your trash mr man... If truly you are lawyer, you ought to know that the constitution grant every citizen the right to freedom of expression and right to have a personal opinion in political matters. You are such a big idio:t for attacking someone bcus she has a different opinion with you. I put it to you that you are not a legal practitioner.

She should just pick the shi*t up and run out of the stage b4 the blood starts dripping down her legs..

Agents of the federal government on Thursday night arrested suspected masterminds of Radio Biafra, a
broadcasting platform calling for the secession of the south-east from Nigeria.

The signals were also reportedly jammed after initial failed attempts, but the station is still broadcasting on the world wide web, making it practically impossible to block its
broadcasts.

On Friday, it announced that it had launched
another station, promising to launch 50
others.

According to checks by TheCable, another radio station called “Biafra 24 Radio” has hit the airwaves pushing the same message of “freedom of Biafraland”. The radio station said it is running with the motto of “bringing Biafra closer”.

Radio Biafra in its Friday morning broadcast
promised to launch 50 other radio stations to
push for the “freedom of Biafra”.
Both Radio Biafra and Biafra 24 radio were
live online as at Friday morning, while
residents of Port Harcourt, Rivers state, were
said to be having difficulty accessing the
station.

Joseph Udofia, one of the residents who
spoke to TheCable, said of all the stations
broadcasting in Rivers, none is Radio Biafra.
“The 97.6FM was the former frequency (and)
they claim to have moved to 102.1FM, but I
can authoritatively say that nothing is being
broadcast on that frequency now,” he said.
The location and local frequency of Biafra 24
Radio could not be ascertained.
Earlier, the Nigerian Broadcasting
Commission (NBC) through the permanent
secretary of the ministry of information,
Yemi Folasade-Esan, said the commission
had jammed signals of the station.
The station came out almost immediately to
debunk the claim.

Radio Biafra, which refers to Nigeria as a
zoo, said the government is being unfair to
them, claiming that Buhari promoted “Radio
Chanji” when he was seeking power.
“Radio Chanji was floated by Buhari and the
APC, unregistered, to oust (President
Goodluck) Jonathan. Yet Radio Biafra is
registered and they want to stop us. Why do
you need the United Kingdom, the United
States, Israel to stop Radio Biafra?” the on air
personality queried.

He accused the government of trying to
sabotage its operations by telling Tune-in
Radio, an online platform, to shut down
Radio Biafra.

“The government told tune in to shut it down,
what they do not understand is that tune in is
just one of several listening ports. Tune in
after much pressure have now restored
Radio Biafra back to their platform,” he said.
