Lol. This is not the first time. EFCC have shown that they act based on instructions.
Timipre Silva is chilling. Orji Uzor same..Amechi, Fashiola etc

Oshiomole really betrayed everybody. He was just using Labour to get to power...and align with the same crooks

Oshiomole had a lot of us fooled with his labour activism! The guy is as materialistic and power hungry as they come! The fact that he's short, ugly and always spoiling for a fight makes his case all the more hilarious!

truthfulparrot:
Why do PMB take delights in associating with men of questionable character? It is so sad that we now have to go to court to compel EFCC to investigate APC politicians that are accused of corruption!

I wept for my country!

For the simple reason that he needs crooked men to help him win the next elections! Tinubu and Oshiomole are remorseless, yet efficient election riggers!

If we feature our 'best eleven' as you suggest (even though it would be the best for Nigeria), those gaining from the present status-quo of federal character and quota-system would loose out, and this is why they would spill blood before they allow it happen!

Ibegtodiffer:
Buhari is perfectly Crafty. Buhari plays the victim while killing you. If Buhari doesn't leave power by 2019, then those who will vote for him should be ready to share in the guilt of massive blood letting that will suffice. #myonekobo

Like they care!

pol23:
I can't see Tinubu and Amaechi on the list.
FFK was tried and case still pending.
Dansuki's case shows the world Buhari is an unrepented Dictator...Court don already grant the guy bail,yet Bubu no release am.
I'm not supporting corruption,I'm castigating witch hunt and violation of Human right.
If Dansuki's found guilty by the court of law,He should be jailed...you don't keep someone in prison for 3 years without a court charges..
That's wrong.

That's why when i see him on the news, all smiling and shaking hands with sycophants, i just laugh! That man is pure evil!

His first concerns are Islam, the core muslim north and his close circle of friends and relations; then giving a few crumbs to the Yoruba so they can be convinced to vote for him again in 2019; then the Niger Delta (though this one is the more you look the less you see ) to keep the oyel flowing; then the rest of us poor sods bring up the rear! And as far as he's concerned, if we don't like our situation...then tough!

Ogbuefi2020:
3 in the south and 2 in the north is a regional anomaly which we ourselves will complain against if it favored the north. Maybe enugu will be matched with another one in the north in the next phase.

So you've bought into this their lie that everything in the country should be done on an equal 50-50 basis? I had a feeling they were seething during GEJs tenure at the recognition given AIIA, and the neglect it's getting under this wicked administration now begins to make sense!

Enugu was the regional capital of the old eastern region, yes or no? If the answer is yes, then why the fuc/k has its airport been downgraded to 2nd tier below Kano, Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt?

On the day of our so called independence, how many regions did we have, and were they split evenly between the north and the south? While you dumb southerners were sleeping (that's if you're actually Igbo), the north has craftily made it the norm...the convention that everything should be shared on a 50-50 basis between the north and the south! And they always end up cheating even further when they put it in the useless constitution that unproductive land mass and population should be a criteria to be considered in the allocation of resources! They even went the extra mile of removing the highest oil and gas producing parts of Igboland and placed them in Rivers State just to 'deal with us' further!

Fact of the matter is that the south SHOULD have more int'l gateways than the north b'cos it's the goose that lays the golden egg! The only criteria should be economic viability, and historical/political reasons, not any 50-50 nonsense! Enugu was the capital of the old eastern region at independence, and to now downgrade it to be below that of Lagos, Kano and Port Harcourt is just wickedness!

You see how 'one Nigeria' is working against Ndigbo? Anything being done in Alaigbo now has to be watered down because part of the funds would be used to do similar stuff in the north to 'balance things out'! If there's no city or state in the north ready for said project/investment (and since we take 2nd pickings after Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt and Abuja as you're alluding to), then we have to wait our turn like 'obedient slaves'!

coputa:
Wrong!,Nigeria does not have the highest number of poor people in the world.Nigeria operates capitalism,where you are allowed to own the universe.it's no ones fault,grab as you can.it's a free economy.

He's right! Nigeria has overtaken India as the country with the most miserable poor in the world!....Happened just recently under the watch of the Daura despot!

CSTR1003:
These are some of the few people enjoying the Nigerian dream at the expense of millions.

And this is why they don't wanna hear anything 'restructuring', never mind total disintegration! Anything or anyone that threatens their firm grip on power will be neutralised as can be seen in the case of Abiola, Kudirat, Ken Saro-Wiwa and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu respectively!

DREAMZZZ:
Men afang and edikang ikong does it for me oo

And they're healthier options too...packed full of vegetables!

lovat:
I'm from aAnambra the home of Onugbu and Ofe akwu but after I tasted aafang soup, I swore to marry from Akwa Ibom.

Anyone elses mouth watering at the thought of all these delicious Igbo delicacies...or is it just me?

Kokolet11:
hahaha please if they dont reduce it what we happen?just enjoy one nigeria biko.

I agree with your hard-hitting sarcasm!

Some of us are either blissfully ignorant or pretend not to know that the political-economy of Nigeria is rigged against Umuigbo and Alaigbo, and this would include the aviation sector as well!

Why do you think since the coming of Buhari and APC that AIIA Enugu is no more mentioned in the same breath with the airports like Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt like was the case when GEJ was president!?

Even this little one AIIA is seeing courtesy of Yar'Adua and GEJ, it's paining some people like hell! It's getting close to a decade now and the new terminal is still an empty shell...almost still at the stage GEJ left it!

I wonder if those glass panes damaged in a storm about two years ago have finally been fixed.

Money can't buy taste!

ariesbull:
It hasn't nothing to do with the president, don't blame him, the blame should be on the low security apparatus in Nigeria and the police should up their game and not president

Hehehehe

Don't blame the president abi? But if it's something positive now, you'd ascribe it to Buharis' magical powers to get things done!

All bloody grammar! How come there's no pictorial evidence of what his gov't has done these past three years?

Notice how nobody is excited about anything concerning Abia State or its governor anymore? The guy is a big disappointment!

The only thing i can say he did was doing up a few roads in Aba. Nothing spectacular!

TylerDurden:
[s][/s]

Buhari never attended any Council of State Meeting!

He attended i think once in GEJs regime when they were going to discuss the forthcoming 2015 elections.

Yyeske:
The question to be asked is this, who gave IPOB the mandate to speak for the Igbo people? Remember we have BIM, BZM, Bilie movement, Ohaneze youths and several others agitating for Biafra but who mandated IPOB to speak for Igbos?

You're asking a daft question?

You may just as well ask who gave IPOB freedom of speech and assembly? There's one way to confirm once and for all if IPOB speak for trhe people: conduct a referendum!

Even the stay-at-home on the 30th may done last year and this year (no matter what you may think of its level of compliance) indicates IPOB have some level of support!

hardywaltz:
Useless talk.
Nnamdi Kanu betrayed himself with his useless Ego

Since when did having 'ego' become a sin punishable by death? Blood has been spilt all because of 'ego' and you don't see a problem with that?

Keep on being evasive to the truth just because said truth doesn't serve your selfish purposes!

nwakibie3:
They wont rest if they dont mention jonathan. Why didnt he try to get obasanjo yo confer the title to his father? Ndi ara

These peoples hate is real! What's the purpose of this 'revelation' if not to give GEJ a bad name and leave Buhari coming out of this smelling of roses! It's just political, childish and wicked!

He's talking as if it was him and his families right to get the award given to their father posthumously!

So he approached Buhari as well, and he didn't do anything in the first three years, only to do it a few months to a general election, and you think his intentions are noble while GEJ is the devil abi?

GEJ was not responsible or in the circle of those responsible for his father and step-mums death! If he's looking for a culprit he should look no further than Buhari! When the election was annulled, at the time what statements did Buhari make on the matter? When MKO was locked up, what did Buhari say at the time on the matter? When his father was murdered, what did Buhari say on the matter? Instead he went and worked for the same man responsible for his fathers death, making him (Buhari) guilty by association!

They should enjoy themselves and leave GEJ the fuc/k alone!

Anyway, i don't expect any less from Kola Abiola....after all the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

shekauvsbuhari:
Foolish money. Foolish people that cant develope their own place. If I am one of de afonja people, I chase all of U them away from lagos or push them into the lagoon for disturbing the peace of the indegenes. Let them come and develpoe their own place and stop being a nuisance in another man's land.

Shut up and support the actualisation of Biafra! Then you'd be rid of them forever.

'Another mans land' indeed! What of another mans oyel that you're leeching on?

biafranation:
Igbo boys and money. They have purchased over 80% of Eko city. Afonjas keep hating...

Then they're stupid...no offence!

Jaideyone:
power imbalance my as$

buhari did all these in 3yrs is the south west

-lagos Ibadan expressway (65% completed)
-lagos Abeokuta express way (started this year)
-shagamu ikorodu road (started this year and progressing steadily)
-lagos Ibadan rail (to be completed this year)
-abiola finally got a national apology and GCRF. he has been declared winner of the election and his family will now be paid all the dues they deserve.
-national stadium and state house marina handed over to Lagos state.
- fg gave support for the ibejulekki seaport and dangote refinery


pls tell us what Jonathan did for us in 6yrs. I don't want to hear that power imbalance crap.

even if someone from Egypt can develop my state I'll gladly vote for him.

tell us how Jonathan developed the south west. since your own region doesn't care about development. the south west does.

what did Jonathan do to develop the south west in 6yrs. tell us pls

So assuming for the sake of argument GEJ did nothing for the south west, you mean you lot had a crystal ball in 2015 to know a Buhari would do more for the south west than GEJ did for them? What exactly did you know about Buhari in 2015 that the rest of the south didn't....or was it just a case of playing hateful, tribal politics b'cos your son was the VP candidate at the time and you felt GEJ was favouring Igbos a bit to much and not keeping to the post-war script of sidelining and humilating them?

You come across as being quite fickle, easily led and breathtakingly gullible! Have you asked yourself why your god Buhari didn't accord Abiola this 'honour' in 2015..in 2016...in 2017, and a few months to the 2019 elections he suddenly gets a epiphany and realises Abiola deserves the highest honour in the land and a public holiday to boot!? Dude, get real for chrissakes!

You do realise the Lagos-Ibadan job was started during GEJs tenure don't you? What credit do you give him for that?

We have a so called 'nation' in which a hateful, murderous despot treats one part with derision and disdain and curries the favour of another part for electoral purposes (basically playing one-against-the-other), and Jaideyone and his ilk don't see a problem with this since he's dealing with the people they hate!

At least you can't argue that GEJ favoured the SE unfairly against the SW in infrastructure can you? I believe GEJ could have done more for the south in general, but this inaction was not done out of vindictiveness and hate as is the present case with Buhari vis-a-vis the SE! GEJs problem and mistake was that he wanted to win over the north and in the process we down south got less than we should have! You could argue that Buhari is doing same with trying to please the SW, and i'll say fair enough! But i'll then go on to ask why he's playing one part against the other and why he's favouring the SW over the SE? Could it be b'cos he feels the SE wouldn't vote for him in 2019 and hence they can go screw themselves? I hope you can now see the difference between him and GEJ; GEJ knew the core muslim north didn't like him and were most likely not going to vote for him in 2015, hence he then set out to try and win them over...the vindictive and hateful Buhari is doing the opposite!

On the bolded, you couldn't have chosen a better analogy! You've already gotten yourselves a Pharaoh from Egypt that is buying you over with materialistic stuff while having his hands stained in blood!

So finally, going by your logic that the Yoruba/SW didn't vote for GEJ in 2015 b'cos he did near fuc'kall for them, we can use same logic to say the SE shouldn't vote for the Pharaoh Buhari b'cos not only has he done fuc'kall for us, but he's even added jara by sending out his fulani soldiers to murder hundreds of Igbo youth! If i hear any Yoruba or Buhari minion trying to convince Ndigbo to vote for Buhari come 2019, not only will i invite you to use you 'logic' on them, but i'll also tear them a massive e-slap for good measure!

Cheers mate!

Jaideyone:
you are very foolish for this comment.

the west voted Jonathan in 2011. after 2009-2015 the only thing he did for us is Benin ore road.

so tell me why we should have voted for him again in 2015 when he didn't give us any meaningful development.

by the way mention one road Jonathan repaired 100% in the south east in 6yrs!!! don't even mention Onitsha owerri cos majority of it was done during Obasanjo and yaradua.

mention one road Jonathan did in the south east. I'm waiting

For you to boldly imply that you'd vote for Buhari in 2019, given all you see happening in Nigeria and all you know about the mans bigotry, vindictiveness, pettiness and hate, it just goes to show how defective your moral compass has become, and how you throw commonsense out the window on the prospects of material gain!

GEJ wasn't perfect, neither did he do as much for the SE as he did for say the north! But the fact that Ndigbo were still prepared to vote him in again should give you an idea that their decisions and priorities were not based on materialistic gains....on naira and kobo, like you're implying is the case with the Yoruba/SW! You're implying the Yoruba/SW are prepared to vote even for the devil himself if he gives them token material benefits (while ignoring their hated competition) not minding the purity or otherwise of his intentions!

Ndigbo voted for GEJ out of a sense of redressing the decades of power imbalance in the country....decades that has seen the core muslim north unfairly hold on to power the most; they voted for GEJ b'cos they felt the Niger Delta minorities needed to feel they were part of this country...equal stakeholders, and not slaves of the caliphate; they voted for GEJ even though he hadn't done as much for them by way of infrastructure b'cos they believed they would get a fairer deal in his second term; they voted for GEJ b'cos they knew the antecedents of the main opposition candidate, and today everyone can see they have been vindicated; they voted for GEJ b'cos they knew Buhari to be a despotic, nepotistic, vindictive, certificateless and heartless man who had a big question mark on the status of his health!

Cheers!

BluntBoy:
Well-said, bro.

I don't know why people continue to see this thing as a Yoruba thing.

I can't understand how somebody will just wake up and decide to make a decision that would impact a lot of lives negatively. I had a lecturer whom we called Baba Ike during my master's program. The man is an alumnus of Obafemi Awolowo University. Whenever the man referred to OAU, he always called it University of Ife and refused to call it OAU. That is how strong the bond is. I can't understand why these tribalists keep on seeing the rejection of GEJ's gift as hatred of Yoruba for GEJ. Unilag has alumni from all parts of the country and I can bet that none of them liked the change. The name "Unilag" alone drives thousands of prospective candidates to choose the school as first choice. Why would anyone just wake up one day and rename such a university. It is like renaming University of Nigeria Nsukka to Nnamdi Kanu University. I am sure even sympathizers of Kanu who are alumni of the university will reject such a gift.

Dude, if by Mazi Kanus' efforts Biafra is actualised, i wouldn't mind the new country being named after him sef, never mind a mere university!

All this just points to how much you value MKO! You're free to say MKOs efforts and sacrifice is not up to having UNILAG being named after him, it's the pretence and hypocrisy that one finds annoying!

Anyone know the names of these SANs? How come there's no mention of who these SANs are?

The north (that is core muslim north) are only dominating b'cos we down south are proving too smart for our own good!

Show me any southerner supporting Buharis' reelection and i'll show you a smartarsse!

OreMI22:
The 33 artillery army barracks in Onitsha needs to be relocated to somewhere at Nteje to be able to respond to emergencies in Onitsha or Awka.

Then use the ares that is the 33 artillery brigade in Onitsha for a university.

This issue of the so called Nigeria army taking up prime land in or close to the perimeter of the city centre is something i don't understand! Why do they have to be so close or in the city centre?

The 82 division in Enugu is another one....imagine what we could do with all that land if they moved these people to some place else. It could be used for a massive state park for leisure and relaxation!

Reward for a job well done!

Ever wondered why there's been no convictions of any big shot politician until now....3 years after this admin' was sworn into office, and so close to the 2019 elections? It's b'cos they were getting sick and tired of PDP taunting them that they've had no convictions for corruption since being sworn in in 2015, and so they can have something to present to the masses during the forthcoming campaigns! They went for 'dispensable' individuals who they know that if they're convicted and sentenced nothing will happen! They also went for members of their party, just so they can say they're not favouring one and targeting another b'cos of the party they're in! When are they going to convict and sentence Tinubu, Kalu, Timipreye Sylva, Amaechi, etc? Or are they saying these individuals are whiter than white and have no case to answer?

These convictions are possibly a precursor to the the big ones: OBJ, Sule Lamido, Shekarau....individuals that had the temerity to challenge the 'lord and master'!

The fact these flurry of convictions are coming now, so APC/Buhari can use them for their campaigns just goes to show the level of 'independence' the judiciary has! This level of 'independence' was also evident in how Justice Binta Nyako reversed her earlier pronouncement that IPOB is a legitimate organisation and started acting out Buharis' script as instructed to!

This is the sole purpose of leaving this topic in the politics section and rushing it to the front page...to sit back and wait for the usual pathetic Igbo haters to come do their thing! They know anything Bianca or Ikemba is bound to draw them out of the sewer!

Notice how all the unprovoked abuse on the person of Bianca Ojukwu is left up with glee? But if i respond now, they'll ban me faster than the speed of light!

madenigga:
And by councidence al of dem are yorubas.

There's a token Igbo dude included!

jahsharon:
We now know who was and is still more powerful between Tinubu and Goatluck. Goatluck made a pronouncement on UNOLAG and Tinubu overruled it. Now, Buhari has made his pronouncement on June 12, even the Court cannot overrule it.

This is to show you that all these affirmations of love, reverence and respect for Abiola and what he stood for is all opportunistic grandstanding and playing to the gallery!

Where else in the world is someone good enough for the highest honour in the land, and good enough for a public holiday taken in his honour, yet he's not good enough to have a university named after him!? Even Awo that hasn't been accorded this much honour by the federal gov't has a university named after him!

Your kind rejoicing here that Tinubu and co coerced and cajoled others to reject the naming of UNILAG after MKO....it's either your happy because you really don't think MKO merits the honour or you're happy b'cos you felt it would 'shame' and 'embarrass' GEJ, not minding the fact that MKO merited the honour! Either way, you don't come out of this with your honour and integrity intact so wipe that smirk off your two faces!

flexyrule:
Reno is like an hungry lion, looking for APC members to devour.

Every action, move and statement is responded to with an immediate evidence-backed counter action, move and statement.

I think he already has all his arsenal-like responses prepared down awaiting immediate deployment.

He's giving them close marking! That's why they hate his guts!

Adaowerri111:
So Ambode is busy making Lagos great and that Useless Governor is in a meeting with His Useless Boss Buhari and the rest useless APC governors, Rochas is a plague to Imo state.God bless Ambode, God bless Lagos state.

If Okorocha had in Imo the kind of funds (and even challenges) Ambode has in Lagos, by now Owerri would be like Dubai! His major handicap is paucity of funds...and for a oil and gas producing state like Imo is, this just goes to show how the political-economy of this shithole had been rigged in favour of some and against others!

I have my issues with Okorocha for the poor quality of most of his projects, but i don't doubt his vision for Owerri if not the entire state!
