Greatm... oil is bad for our environment I wish the oil market will collapse

Oshiomole cannot fight his way out of this situation. Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed. If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .

Hmm

I don't even know how my lagos oga and chairman would survive this Coup de tat , but as it is Osinbajo as a Christian looks like the brightest candidate with a strong muslim candidate so as to avoid muslim/muslim ticket.. 2023 would be interesting

Yes Osibanjo have strong support from the North, because he visited the North many times and he understands them well maybe because he is humble and simple. He is a pastor but he somehow have connections with the Muslims. As for the Lagos landlord his body language shows he will not support Osibanjo, but kingibe was telling him indirectly that Osibanjo will bring in the Christian voters the Yoruba voters and the North. And the SW governors don't like Osibanjo. Hmmm 2023 will be tough

solmusdesigns:
you still don't get it, buhari is the head of CPC faction, Tinubu is the head of ACN factor.. Buhari cant do a damn thing right now but nod his head because like buhari naturally his, he like to hide his true nature, and use decoy like idiagbon and now kyari while he forms ignorant... but Oshiomhole took the game to his AsoRock and held a press meeting there, its either Buhari comes out for or against one must happen

Lol.... You're one of the people who understands current political climate in Nigeria, I meet in nairaland.

Mtsww

solmusdesigns:
see if you want the video I have it, again press recorded oshiohmhole departing Blantyre Crescent wuse, heading to gowon crescent asokoro .. I believe you know the address I am telling you

Yep... So I think Buhari basically nodded his head as usual when he don't want to listen to something... And he probably didn't say anything except I will look into it as usual

So sad RIP

solmusdesigns:
Igbere tv posted it (that one got his press pass through Orji Kalu,) Punch posted another one, and Vanguard, Oshiomhole proceeded to hold his press briefing at the old FEC hall downstrairs of Buhari's current office and now you are telling us Bashir Ahmad SA new media, who takes pics from Bayo Omoboriowo is now a press chief to have manipulated oshiomholes video

what I'm saying is that the timeline of Bashir's twit, punch news and the meeting didn't add up

Hahahaha. I don't even know what to type

solmusdesigns:
Liar.. all state house Press correspondent posted same picture

the source is Bashir and the guy from igberetv The moment protocol processed Buhari and Oshiomole meeting they runs to social media and posted it. Buhari didn't meet Oshiomole at the time Bashir twitted

Hahahaha.. didn't I said it yesterday. Bashir posted old pics of oshiomole and Buhari on Twitter, before they Meet. Because he saw the protocols okayed the meeting. Punch and vanguard make news out of it. APC is bigger than you now, oshiomole 2023 is different game. PDP almost won Kano, they even did who knows. Sokoto, bauchi, zamfara All PDP including South east and South South. Do u think if PDP did their home work perfect and run a good campaign they will not return to power¿ I will not say why but any Yoruba man that supports Oshiomole doesn't understand politics and don't want to see Yoruba man as president in 2023

udy821:

Those people who want to see destruction of Nigeria will only destroy themselves. Nigeria is bigger than them. There ancestors knows this very well, if you don't agree take sniper and ask them.

udy821:
u hv not still answered my question. why is a bag of rice that was #8000 a bag before,is now #25000 a bag ? Everything has gotten out of control.pls why? #8000×3 = #24,000.

Ask this 3 International economic organizations the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Trade Organization (WTO). Because increase in food and other stuff is global not just Nigeria

Misinformation.. don't push this to vast audience Google is sanctioning website for Covid19 conspiracy and misinformations

Good one Babajide. Lagos is not anymore a slum city

johnyace:
The Witcher is quite entertaining, I loved their portrayal of the storyline.

9/10

really

Ehiscotch:
It's just sad that some ignorant persons will still read only the headline of the story, attack the FG with silly comments — even worse are the ones who would read and still say crap.

TBH, the past administration really did a lot of disservice to this country with shoddy contracts, especially in the power sector.

thank you for THIS.. their only interest is FTC to irritate people

Speech as Nigeria Military Head Of State (1983)
Muhammadu Buhari

In pursuance of the primary objective of saving our great nation from total collapse, I, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari of the Nigerian army have, after due consultation amongst the services of the armed forces, been formally invested with the authority of the Head of the Federal Military Government and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is with humility and a deep sense of responsibility that I accept this challenge and call to national duty.

As you must have heard in the previous announcement, the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1979) has been suspended, except those sections of it which are exempted in the constitution. The change became necessary in order to put an end to the serious economic predicament and the crisis of confidence now afflicting our nation.

Consequently, the Nigerian armed forces have constituted themselves into a Federal Military Government comprising of a Supreme Military Council, a National Council of States, a Federal Executive Council at the centre and State Executive Councils to be presided over by military governors in each of the states of the federation. Members of these councils will be announced soon.
The last Federal Military Government drew up a programme with the aim of handing over political power to the civilians in 1979. This programme as you all know, was implemented to the letter. The 1979 constitution was promulgated.
However, little did the military realise that the political leadership of the second republic will circumvent most of the checks and balances in the constitution and bring the present state of general insecurity.

The premium on political power became so exceedingly high that political contestants regarded victory at elections as a matter of life and death struggle and were determined to capture or retain power by all means. It is true that there is a worldwide economic recession.
However, in the case of Nigeria, its impact was aggravated by mismanagement. We believe the appropriate government agencies have good advice but the leadership disregarded their advice. The situation could have been avoided if the legislators were alive to their constitutional responsibilities. Instead, the legislators were preoccupied with determining their salary scales, fringe benefit and unnecessary foreign travels, et al, which took no account of the state of the economy and the welfare of the people they represented.

As a result of our inability to cultivate financial discipline and prudent management of the economy, we have come to depend largely on internal and external borrowing to execute government projects with attendant domestic pressure and soaring external debts, thus aggravating the propensity of the outgoing civilian administration to mismanage our financial resources. Nigeria was already condemned perpetually with the twin problem of heavy budget deficits and weak balance of payments position, with the prospect of building a virile and viable economy.

The last general election was anything but free and fair. The only political parties that could complain of election rigging are those parties that lacked the resources to rig. There is ample evidence that rigging and thuggery were relative to the resources available to the parties. This conclusively proved to us that the parties have not developed confidence in the presidential system of government on which the nation invested so much material and human resources. While corruption and indiscipline have been associated with our state of under-development, these two evils in our body politics have attained unprecedented height in the past few years. The corrupt, inept and insensitive leadership in the last four years has been the source of immorality and impropriety in our society.

Since what happens in any society is largely a reflection of the leadership of that society, we deplore corruption in all its facets. This government will not tolerate kick-backs, inflation of contracts and over-invoicing of imports etc. Nor will it condone forgery, fraud, embezzlement, misuse and abuse of office and illegal dealings in foreign exchange and smuggling.
Arson has been used to cover up fraudulent acts in public institutions. I am referring to the fire incidents that gutted the P&T buildings in Lagos, the Anambra State Broadcasting Corporation, the Republic Building at Marina, the Federal Ministry of Education, the Federal Capital Development Authority Accounts at Abuja and the NET Building. Most of these fire incidents occurred at a time when Nigerians were being apprehensive of the frequency of fraud scandals and the government incapacity to deal with them.

Corruption has become so pervasive and intractable that a whole ministry has been created to stem it.
Fellow Nigerians, this indeed is the moment of truth. My colleagues and I – the Supreme Military Council, must be frank enough to acknowledge the fact that at the moment, an accurate picture of the financial position is yet to be determined. We have no doubt that the situation is bad enough. In spite of all this, every effort will be made to ensure that the difficult and degrading conditions under which we are living are eliminated.
Let no one however be deceived that workers who have not received their salaries in the past eight or so months will receive such salaries within today or tomorrow or that hospitals which have been without drugs for months will be provided with enough immediately. We are determined that with the help of God we shall do our best to settle genuine payments to which government is committed, including backlog of workers’ salaries after scrutiny.

We are confident and we assure you that even in the face of the global recession, and the seemingly gloomy financial future, given prudent management of Nigeria’s existing financial resources and our determination to substantially reduce and eventually nail down rises in budgetary deficits and weak balance of payments position. The Federal Military Government will reappraise policies with a view to paying greater attention to the following areas: The economy will be given a new impetus and better sense of direction. Corrupt officials and their agents will be brought to book.

In view of the drought that affected most parts of the country, the federal government will, with the available resources, import food stuffs to supplement the shortfalls suffered in the last harvest.
Our foreign policy will both be dynamic and realistic. Africa will of course continue to be the centre piece of our foreign policy. The morale and combat readiness of the armed forces will be given high priority. Officers and men with high personal and professional integrity will have nothing to fear.

The Chief Justice of Nigeria and all other holders of judiciary appointments within the federation can continue in their appointments and the judiciary shall continue to function under existing laws subject to such exceptions as may be decreed from time to time by the Federal Military Government. All holders of appointments in the civil service, the police and the National Security Organisation shall continue to exercise their functions in the normal way subject to changes that may be introduced by the Federal Military Government.

All those chairmen and members of statutory corporations, parastatals and other executive departments are hereby relieved of their appointments with immediate effect.
The Federal Military Government will maintain and strengthen existing diplomatic relations with other states and with international organisations and institutions such as the Organisation of African Unity, the United Nations and its organs, Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, ECOWAS and the Commonwealth etc. The Federal Military Government will honour and respect all treaties and obligations entered into by the previous government and we hope that such nations and bodies will reciprocate this gesture by respecting our country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Fellow Nigerians, finally, we have dutifully intervened to save this nation from imminent collapse. We therefore expect all Nigerians, including those who participated directly or indirectly in bringing the nation to this present predicament, to cooperate with us. This generation of Nigerians, and indeed future generations, have no country other than Nigeria. We shall remain here and salvage it together.

May God bless us all. Good morning.
The speech is fresh like it's was today.

lkdolz:
Please there is no semblance between the war the US is prosecuting and boko Haram insurgency. Yeah guerrilla warfare is difficult to fight but do you think Americans will allow anyone to desecrate their sovereignty, relentlessly killing it's citizens on American soil non-stop for 12years? Hell no.

yep the far right terrorist

Lol. The cervical spine I guess

thinkmoney:
I was following you with keen interest, until i noticed you were mumbling jumbling facts. Its obvious your issue with Ojukwu stems solely from is perceived handling of Sarowiwas agitation. Nobody is perfect. that is one side of Ojukwus life. Sarowiwa wasn't even a factor during the war, but it's a known fact that many minority tribes in the eastern region sold out too easily to Gowons government. this could have gotten Ojukwu offended. Biafra had justifiable reason to seek secession when it did. and it was even as a result of referendum. Ogonis representative gave their nod to the idea.

why Ibos see everything through the prism of Osu cast system

Because Ibos see everything through the prism of Osu cast system

The best candidate

Hahahaha
