Let me just clarifying you on the function of the three arm of government

(1) the legislature :- make law for the state
(2) the executive :- implement the law
(3) the judiciary :- interpret the law

Now the executive is sadly with the responsibility of implementing repair of roads, provision of basic amenities, school and portable water

Now the tiv man has been the governor of benue state since the creation of the state

An average idoma keep blaming mark for underdevelopment of the zone, the question is what is the function of the state governor and the state legislature.

For your information David mark is the greatest idoma man dead or alive till date

The thing speaks itself. However, you are entitled to your opinion.

My friend please what is the job of a state governor in a state

Article II of the Constitution of Nigeria vests the executive power of the state in the governor and charges him with the execution of state law, alongside the responsibility of appointing state executive, diplomatic, regulatory, and judicial officers subject to the approval of the Assembly members.

A Senator by the Constitution has a duty to make laws for the good governance of the country which includes his Senatorial District and by virtue of his oversight functions ensure same is carried out. The Federal roads to Oturkpo is not exempt from Sen. Mark’s oversight functions.

He had scant if any regard for his father while he lived. Bukola Saraki lives under a course for that. No one sane laments the end to a feudal system!

This is a mess! He pretends not to know what prerogative of mercy means! That is where he really knows!!

Big Brother Is Watching You.

Like Kalu he is supposed to be in there but has so far stayed out by sleight and presently on a familiarisation preparatory to taking his place there not having repented of his bestiality.

Meanwhile the National Stadium Abuja is an eyesore!

edoairways:
Are you a Muslim or pagan?

That is not the issue here.

Asquare84:
Who told you that

The roads and public infrastructure he left unfixed while Senate President for years. How he visits the place is not unknown to his kith and kin. There is a God who will shove aside penance and confessions that bore no fruit of repentance on Judgment Day!

I guess the fire service got their early enough driving on the terrible roads Mark and his CO-travellers in the Senate he presided over neglected to fix! The Bible says that is a dress rehearsal for liars and the wicked!

what's is the he meaning of taqiyya

A Description in Islam, Taqiya or Taqiyya is a precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and practice in the face of persecution. A related term is, Kitmān, which has a more specific meaning of dissimulation by silence or omission. Wikipedia

In simple terms it is perfectly legitimate in Islam for a Muslim to lie, be deceitful or deny being a Muslim to gain an advantage for.e.g. Sign a University Handbook to abide by the Rules and Regulations of the Institution so as to gain admission only to turn around and scream blue murder to say one is being persecuted for being a Muslim! That exactly is what the guy has done. Ladies who marry Muslims on the promise of the Bridegroom to not force his Bride to be a Muslimat and to allow her worship she will are on their own since Islam permits the Bridegroom to later go back on his word on the ground that it was taqqiya! All are forewarned that when a Muslim appears to be tolerant of your freedom to worship what you will and still be your friend he plays taqqiya with you - he is deceiving you till he has an opportunity to show his true colour! That explains the story of many who have survived Islamic terrorist attacks when they say that close and friends and neighbours 99% of the time will be the ones to lead the attackers to them and participate in the slaughter of the simple! Beware! Check this thread and you’ll find a Muslim who accused me of persecuting him just because I pointed out the obvious that is, the taqqiya strategy of the said university student! That again is classic taqqiya! Beware! You do not hate a Muslim for that- only ensure you are circumspect in your relationship with a Muslim simply because Islam permits him to deceive you so long as it is for a perceive gain for Islam!

Guess we’ll need 1 Trillion Naira to “renovate” this!

WHO among the religious elites in Nigeria that would claim ignorance of the Islamic Sharia Law, especially when it is given adequate prominence in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, which is 20 years old, this December, except mischief makers, confusionists and bigots!

Sections 260 – 279 are devoted to explicitly to analyze the Establishment, of Sharia Courts of Appeal, Appointment of Grand Kadi and Kadis, Constitution, Practice and Procedure of both the Federal and States Sharia Courts of Appeal without creating any form of ambiguity and allowed governments at both levels to apply discretion in implementation!

Wikipedia classifies “Shari-ah” as an Arabic word, meaning “divination” and which refers to God’s immutable divine law and also defines Sharia law as a religious law derived from Islamic precepts of the Qur’an/Hadith and forming part of the Islamic tradition.

Recently, Wednesday, 25th December, 2019, the incumbent Chief Justice of Nigeria, advocated that Sharia education should be conducted in Arabic language at the university level for it to gain more prominence among the adherents but his postulation attracted a barrage of condemnations/vilifications from the social media subscribers, professional and religious bodies, who are programmed to oppose any thought or ideas from all quarters, high or low without bordering to interrogate or verify the integrity of such thoughts!

They delight in throwing away the baby with the bath water!


FALSEHOOD AGAINST THE CJN BY “LEARNED BROTHERS”!
Judging from his impressive resume and professional diligence, no critic can succeed to smear or impugn Chief Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad’s character as to classify him as an advocate for Islamisation Agenda of Nigeria considering the fact that he is an authority when it comes to analytical details of the Islamic Religious Laws and Jurisprudence, who studied and received the bachelor, master and doctorate degrees in LAW from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria between 1980 and 1998, and was called to the BAR in the year1981, the same year he graduated from the Nigerian Law School!


While We might ignore the ranting of illiterate users of the social media, We completely disagree with the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), which castigated the erudite legal luminary that he was neither a lawyer nor was he called to the BAR, contrary to the prescribed qualifications as stipulated in Section 261 (1) (2) (3) (a) (b) (i) (ii), with which he got appointments in his former positions as Judge of both the Sharia and the Appeal Courts respectively.
The Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria (MULAN), rejected attacks on the person of the CJN by Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), Afenifere, Ohaneze,Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE), Middle Belt Group and described the criticisms as an act of religious intolerance and advised them to desist from “fuelling Islamophobia agenda!

This 67-year-old Nigerian Jurist is the highest ranking judicial officer and Head of the Supreme Court, whose position was confirmed by the Senate on 16th July, 2019, is in no way a man of controversy, although some critics made mountains of his appointment following the travail and subsequent exit of his predecessor, Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen.


THE SHARIA EDUCATION ADVOCACY BY THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF NIGERIA!
Chief Justice Tanko Muhammad, who rose through the ranks was once a Kadi, and later a Justice of the Nigerian Courts of Appeal, made his presentation with mindset of encouraging more awareness of academic interests among Islamic Faith practitioners at the tertiary level in order disabuse the lukewarm attitude of academicians should champion and re-invigorate the noble cause through the language of ISLAM which is ARABIC and not ENGLISH!

CHRISTIANITY and ISLAM are the TWO major Faith-based religions that are very prominent in Nigeria with the former having greater number of adherents in the SOUTH, while the later holds sway in the NORTH. Since Sharia gained public attention in 1999, because of its inclusiveness in the 1999 Constitution, no Southern State adopted its tenets nor practiced its laws because THEY ARE NOT BINDING ON THE CITIZENS NIGERIA IS A SECULAR STATE – ie, a State without an adopted religion! It is also noteworthy that of about the TEN Northern States that “practice” Sharia, only Kano and Zamfara seemed to show some level of seriousness in the implementation of the law which traverses Islamic criminal justice, procedural matters, marriage and divorce, issues relating to children, financial legislation , among others.

WHEN DID IT BECOME AN OFFENCE FOR A NIGERIAN CITIZEN TO EXERCISE HIS/HER FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OF SPEECH OR OPINION? IS JUSTICE TANKO THE AUTHOR OF THE SHARIA LAW, WHICH WAS PRESCRIBED AS PANACEA FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE AND HAD BEEN IN EXISTENCE FROM THE TIME OF PROPHET MOHAMMED, FOUNDER OF ISLAM?

The CJN is a Muslim whose religion embraces the Sharia Law and has the fundamental right to express his opinion which did not contradict any extant law
From intensive and painstaking research – Sharia Law as practiced in Nigeria is LIBERAL and advocates good governance, sane society where rights and opportunities are apportioned in gender-friendly proportions to avoid infringements on any side.
The CJN believes that if Sharia Law was taught in Arabic instead of English at the tertiary level, the Muslim academia would be in better position to propagate the religious tenets adequately to reach out to more adherents across board.

Our research also clearly revealed that all tenets of the Islamic Faith, were geared toward social justice, equal life opportunities for all adherents and societies devoid of violence in all forms; but like in every society/community, some extremists or fundamentalist would step outside acceptable norms to oppose, disagree and kick against social and religious laws meant to ensure peaceful co-existence!


MUST ANYONE CONDEMN ANOTHER’S RELIGION IN A SECULAR STATE- ESPECIALLY WHEN IT DID NOT ADVOCATE VIOLENCE?
At XMAS, President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the gruesome murder through beheading of 11 Christian hostages, who were abducted in Bornu State, by a faction of the Islamist Boko Haram, fighting under the banner of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), which claimed retaliation for their leader who died during US raid in Syria in October, 2019!
Although ISWAP deliberately timed the senseless killings to coincide with Xmas to infuriate Christians with the intention to cause a religious war but, President Buhari pleaded with all Nigerians not to allow the dastard act to divide them as a united nation.


US PLACES NIGERIA ON “RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION” WATCH-LIST!
Shortly before Christmas, Friday 20th December, 2019, the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, announced that his country has placed Nigeria on its Special Watch-List (SWL), of countries that engage in severe religious persecution!
What an irony of fate! The same US sent its troops to raid Syria in October 2019, killed scores of ISWAP leaders and their ranks only for the terrorist group to murder CHRISTIAN S in Nigeria at Xmas instead of attacking the US Military Base!
Wikitionary defines Islam as, “a monotheistic Abrahamic religion followed by Muslims that is based on the teachings of Muhammad and the Qur’an.”


CONTROVERSY OF SHARIA: SINCE 1999!
HOW MANY STATES PRACTICE SHARIA IN NIGERIA? ABOUT TEN.
ANY NEGATIVE IMPACT OF SHARIA LAW ON CHRISTIANITY OR OTHER RELIGIONS? NO OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION.
HOW HAS SHARIA LAW FAIRED IN ZAMFARA, KANO & OTHER SHARIA STATES? NO PUBLIC RESISTANCE FROM MUSLIMS WHO ARE SUBJECT TO THE LAW!
NO RELIGION PREACHES VIOLENCE, discrimination, tribalism, hatred, nepotism, hate speech, intolerance, bigotry, etc, but LOVE!
CRITICS SHOULD NOT DISMISS THE MESSAGE AND THE MESSENGER WITHOUT VETTING THE AUTHENTICITY AND BENEFITS OF SUCH INFORMATION TO THE SOCIETY IN A DEMOCRACY SUCH AS NIGERIA, EVEN IF THEY WERE CONTROVERSIAL!
“Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.’’ (Prov 11:14)

I don't know why anyone would choose to go to a university where he/she can't practice their religion in peace

He is using Taqqiya.

For years you were opportune to legislate at the very highest echelons and had the ears of The Senate President but there is nothing to show for all that as the Ajasa Ipo-Isanlu-Kabba Road which is about the shortest route to ABUJA from the South West remains in very bad condition it is impassable. In the result most of the towns in his constituency have become ghost towns without commercial power that comes with the good roads they don’t have. What a life!

REVEALED! WHY DUMO LULU-BRIGGS IS AFTER HIS STEP MOTHER

The outrageous publication published on Facebook on December 30, 2019 at 12:20pm and circulated in the media by Uche Woke (who goes by the sobriquet: Uchman Dela Rosa on Facebook), a media aide to Dumo Lulu- Briggs alleging that Dr. Mrs. Seinye O. B. Lulu-Briggs murdered her husband, smuggled his remains to Ghana and deposited same in Ghana in the absence of his children is a false and malicious publication that defames her. She and her husband were on the trip to Ghana on the said date December 27, 2018 with two of his sons and a host of other persons. She believes that it is shameful that a chief would allow his media aide to refer to his father as dead at a time he knew he was well alive.

The said publication (https://www.facebook.com/100000305836627/posts/2874646485888851/? d=n) further states that the widow of High Chief O. B. Lulu-Briggs went to court to stop the children of the deceased from accessing the body of their father, her husband, for burial; that “she hurriedly organized an autopsy without following all the lawful procedures and guidelines meant to guarantee transparency that was ordered by the court”; that being “concerned about wealth, she read a certain 'Will' before burial, relocating companies and packing properties belonging to O. B. Lulu- Briggs to unknown destinations.”

Dr. Mrs. Seinye Lulu-Briggs categorically states that all of the above allegations in the said publication are untrue and part of a wicked plot by her son Dumo Lulu-Briggs to cast her in bad light and stigmatize her person as a wicked widow with the primary aim of rubbishing her husband's legacy and undermining his Last Will and Testaments.

Dr. Mrs. Seinye Lulu-Briggs recalls that the trauma suffered by High Chief O. B. Lulu-Briggs in standing in the dock as an accused person, watching his son and friends prosecute him for fraud and trying to wrestle the company he founded from him over 2 decades ago, was enough to have killed him. Fortunately, the great man survived that, including serial heart attacks, lived for many years after and continues to live on today in the hearts of those who love him.

Dr. Mrs. Seinye Lulu-Briggs is amazed at the character of a son who gives share transfer documents to his father who at the time was battling a heart attack in order for the ill man to sign over his shares to the son as he (the father) was being rushed overseas for treatment. What other purpose could that have been for other than in anticipation of his father’s death? She is further amazed at the audacity of the son who would later refuse to handover the share transfer documents back to his father when God saved him and he survived the heart attack. For the High Chief to have survived that heart attack could reasonably have been quite upsetting for the conspiring sons as it complicated their plans. Perhaps, it is the same reason the son saw, addressed and consented to his aides address his own father as being dead while he was still alive.

Beyond taking the necessary legal action to protect herself against the serial, ill conceited acts of libel and defamation by acolytes of her son Dumo Lulu- Briggs, she wishes to reiterate the following
1. Her husband, High Chief O. B. Lulu-Briggs, died in Accra, Ghana, on the 27th of December, 2018 shortly after arriving for his annual vacation.

2. All seven Children of the High Chief were at the mortuary on the 29th of December, 2019. Thereafter the family including Dumo saw their father’s body at least two times. Dumo has not denied that he arranged with the managers of the mortuary to make a casket with which to convey the body of his father for burial. He and his elder brother, Senibo, returned to the mortuary and inspected the casket that was delivered there.

3. The allegation that Dr. Mrs. Seinye Lulu-Briggs killed her husband, High Chief O. B. Lulu-Briggs, began after she was threatened by Dumo Lulu-
Briggs, her stepson, right before his Pastor that if she didn’t give him four legacy assets namely: Moni Pulo Limited, Sombriero House (her matrimonial home), Rachael Hotel and the O. B. Lulu-Briggs Foundation he would go public with an allegation against her that she killed her husband.

4. Dr. Mrs. Seinye Lulu-Briggs told Dumo Lulu-Briggs that he knew she didn’t kill her husband and that what he wanted would mean setting aside her husband’s Will. She reiterates that told him she had no powers to do so, that moreover the Will provided for the well-being of his Children, grandchildren and future generations, of whom Dumo’s first son, is the only grandchild mentioned by name and bequeathed with a property in the Will. She however agreed to gift 50% of her shares in Moni Pulo Limited to all seven children of High Chief O. B. Lulu-Briggs, which Dumo demanded for himself alone. He accepted the offer and later declined it in writing.

5. Dr. Mrs. Seinye Lulu-Briggs also told Dumo that most of his father’s assets were bequeathed to a Trust that he had set up by himself during his lifetime. As such, she had no powers to cancel the Trust and or redistribute the said properties as Dumo would have wished.

6. Failing to satisfy his untoward and unreasonable demands, Dumo Lulu- Briggs wrote a petition to the Nigerian police falsely alleging that she killed her husband.

7. Dumo Lulu-Briggs approached both the Police and a Magistrate Court in Ghana to organize an autopsy that did not provide representation for Dr. Mrs. Seinye Lulu-Briggs, who is accused of murdering her 88 year old husband.

8. To protect herself and ensure the autopsy process was fair to all Parties involved, ie. both the accused and the accuser, she went to court to ensure the autopsy process provided and guaranteed representation for her, her accuser Dumo Lulu-Briggs, the Nigerian Police and the Ghanaian Police and it was done.

9. Dr. Mrs Seinye Lulu-Briggs and Dumo Lulu-Briggs had two representative pathologists each. The President of the Nigerian Medical Association, Dr. Adedayo Faduyile, was one of Dumo’s representative Pathologists. To this day none of all the six Pathologists involved in the autopsy, including Dumo’s representatives, has queried the process which was conducted by the Ghanaian Military at the 37 Military Hospital in Ghana.

10. The Ghanaian Police in a letter responding to a needless protest by Dumo Lulu-Briggs given that the process didn’t go as he would have wanted (ie. as a private autopsy) confirmed to him that the autopsy was done according to the set standard.

11. The autopsy report is now being blocked by Dumo Lulu-Briggs from being released. He has instituted an appeal against its release.

12. Dr. Mrs. Seinye O. B. Lulu-Briggs has not moved a single property to any unknown location and has no need to do such.

13. Dr. Mrs. Seinye has no desire to stop the burial of her husband. Her appeal against the judgment that ordered the Ghanaian Police and the mortuary to release her husband’s corpse for burial was because Dumo went to obtain the body without complying with any of the pre-conditions imposed on him by the court. She maintains that if he complies with the Court-ordered pre-conditions, her appeal will be withdrawn.

14. Dumo Lulu-Briggs was ordered by the court to give the following binding unconditional undertakings: “That the delegation led by Chief Dumo Lulu- Briggs that will convey the body of the deceased to Nigeria, should include two representatives of the Plaintiff/Widow, who should be part of the delegation that will convey the body to Nigeria; ”That the family of the deceased, led by Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, will give a binding unconditional undertaking that, under no circumstance will the family allow or suffer the Plaintiff/Widow to undergo any cruel, inhumane or barbaric customary practices in Nigeria, when the body is conveyed; “That the family, led by Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, will further undertake that the Plaintiff/Widow will be ably represented in the burial and funeral preparations, and will be allowed to play her role as a widow mourning her deceased husband.” The court went further to order the filing of the report of the autopsy done on the deceased, which has been done. But the release is being blocked by an appeal by Dumo Lulu-Briggs.

15. On the 3rd of June 2019 Moni Pulo was invaded by the Police based on a false petition written by Dumo Lulu-Briggs. Workers were assaulted and properties were destroyed in the cause of the invasion. The operation was reminiscent of a similar invasion of the Company by Dumo Lulu-Briggs in 2002 during the lifetime of his father, High Chief O. B. Lulu- Briggs. The company has now taken measures to ensure such an action is never repeated and that staff of the company receive the protection and safety they deserve in an environment that guarantees it.

It is important to state the above for the proper understanding of the reading public. Mrs Seinye Lulu-Briggs now aged over 60 years loved, lived with and cared for her husband for over 2 decades. He passed on at 88 years having survived many near-death scares. It is unthinkable that anyone, much less, a son she also loved as a son, would accuse her of killing her husband, simply because he wishes to have what wasn’t given to him. She is being framed in the mould of a wicked African stepmother and maliciously stigmatized for simply being a woman lacking the right to own or inherit property. If she, being human can be this vilified without committing any crime whatsoever, what then could have happened to dogs and cats that inherit property from their owners in other climes if they were in Nigeria?

O. B. LULU-BRIGGS FOUNDATION CELEBRATE THE ELDERLY AT NEW YEAR

The O. B. Lulu-Briggs Foundation held its annual New Year Party for Senior Citizens at the Foundation’s Biokpo Recreational Center for the Elderly in Abonnema. Speaking during the event, the Chairman Board of Trustees of the O. B. Lulu-Briggs Foundation, Dr. Mrs. Seinye O. B. Lulu- Briggs said the Annual New Year Party for Senior Citizens is organized under the auspices of the Care for Life Programme, the Foundation’s flagship program which has been supporting vulnerable elderly people across Rivers State since 2001.

Dr. Mrs Seinye O. B. Lulu-Briggs, who was represented at the event by the Executive Secretary of the O. B. Lulu- Briggs Foundation, Ms Dakoru Okujagu, expressed her thanks to the beneficiaries for the kind messages she and her family had received since her beloved husband, High Chief Dr. O.B. Lulu-Briggs, OON, DCF, DSSRS, Iniikeiroari V, translated to glory just over a year ago. “Most especially, I appreciate the prayers. They have greatly comforted and strengthened our family particularly in the face of the internal strife we are passing through. We trust God that in His time our Opuda’s body will be laid to rest,” She said.

Speaking further, Mrs Seinye Lulu-Briggs said the annual New Year Party for treasured senior citizens was the first and most special of the foundation’s annual programme of activities. According to her, “Through it we demonstrate the importance of what our mission to serve and cater for the under-served means. We make sure we promote a sense of belonging amongst the aged members of our communities by honoring and celebrating them, even as the programme takes care of their material and spiritual needs. Since the establishment of the Foundation in 2001, we have hosted this event on New Year’s Day to ensure that we usher in every new year in a celebratory and joyful manner with the blessings of our senior citizens.
“As many of you know, the O.B. Lulu-Briggs Foundation began its operations in 2001 with the ‘Care for Life’ Programme. Its mandate is to provide holistic care for senior citizens who want to remain active and independent after retiring from service in their chosen professions, many of whom lack the economic or social resources to take proper care of themselves, and/or whose families lack the financial means to care for them.

“The programme provides healthcare, care giver visits, monthly food supplies/or a daily feeding programme, monthly cash stipends, clothing, spiritual care, and social events (such as today’s party). These services are provided directly to the beneficiaries at their homes and at our purpose built Biokpo Recreational Center. Our goal was to build a community of support that empowers and upholds the elders covered in the programme to live fearlessly in dignity, safety and peace, enjoying due recognition, love and respect across the community free from abuse, neglect, criticism, discrimination or victimization. Presently, the Care for Life Programme covers 120 beneficiaries from 10 communities in Rivers State, namely: Abonnema, Abua, Buguma, Etche, Illelema, Krakrama, Obonoma, Okpo, Port Harcourt and Tema.”

Beneficiaries of the Care for Life Programme, who were all adorned in beautiful clothes and had a great time of praise, worship and celebration also thanked the O. B. Lulu-Briggs Foundation for consistently caring for them. “What the Foundation has been doing for us is fine. We are thankful. Let nothing be able to stop it so it can be forever,” said Pa Robert Ajumogobia Bestman, one of the beneficiaries of the Care For Life Programme.

Pastor Princess Emmanuel delivered the homily during the event, which had as its high point the cutting of the New Year cake by the beneficiaries of the Care for Life Programme.

Dumo Lulu-Briggs was ordered by the court to give the following binding unconditional undertakings: “That the delegation led by Chief Dumo Lulu- Briggs that will convey the body of the deceased to Nigeria, should include two representatives of the Plaintiff/Widow, who should be part of the delegation that will convey the body to Nigeria; ”That the family of the deceased, led by Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, will give a binding unconditional undertaking that, under no circumstance will the family allow or suffer the Plaintiff/Widow to undergo any cruel, inhumane or barbaric customary practices in Nigeria, when the body is conveyed; “That the family, led by Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, will further undertake that the Plaintiff/Widow will be ably represented in the burial and funeral preparations, and will be allowed to play her role as a widow mourning her deceased husband.” The court went further to order the filing of the report of the autopsy done on the deceased, which has been done. But the release is being blocked by an appeal by Dumo Lulu-Briggs.

15. On the 3rd of June 2019 Moni Pulo was invaded by the Police based on a false petition written by Dumo Lulu-Briggs. Workers were assaulted and properties were destroyed in the cause of the invasion. The operation was reminiscent of a similar invasion of the Company by Dumo Lulu-Briggs in 2002 during the lifetime of his father, High Chief O. B. Lulu- Briggs. The company has now taken measures to ensure such an action is never repeated and that staff of the company receive the protection and safety they deserve in an environment that guarantees it.

It is important to state the above for the proper understanding of the reading public. Mrs Seinye Lulu-Briggs now aged over 60 years loved, lived with and cared for her husband for over 2 decades. He passed on at 88 years having survived many near-death scares. It is unthinkable that anyone, much less, a son she also loved as a son, would accuse her of killing her husband, simply because he wishes to have what wasn’t given to him. She is being framed in the mould of a wicked African stepmother and maliciously stigmatized for simply being a woman lacking the right to own or inherit property. If she, being human can be this vilified without committing any crime whatsoever, what then could have happened to dogs and cats that inherit property from their owners in other climes if they were in Nigeria?

Of all the posts read here, nobody made any relevant or valid point...shame on our lazy youths

Adoke is back in the country to explain his involvement in the malabo oil scandalous deal and one of the witnesses is Jonathan himself. Once the witness is dealt wit, case closed. Nigeria, which way? Okay, Nigerians plead read the below...

The controversial $1.3 billion deal revolves around “OPL 245,” which is believed to be the most valuable oil field in West Africa.

The scam is being investigated in Nigeria, Italy and Netherlands due to the participation of oil giants Shell and ENI.
Below are 12 things you should know about the controversial Malabu oil deal:
1. Former petroleum minister, Dan Etete, who was appointed by late dictator Sani Abacha, acquired “OPL 245” through his company, Malabu Oil and Gas Limited while in office in 1998.
2. The deal was struck only five days after the company was incorporated with three shareholders; Mohammed Sani Abacha , Kweku Amafagha (a fake name created by Etete) and Hassan Hindu (wife of a former Nigerian High Commissioner to the UK).
3. Etete illegally awarded himself the oil block and paid only $2 million out of the $20 million legally required by the state.
4. The oil block, which is said to have about 9 billion barrels of crude oil, was sold to Shell and ENI for $1.3 billion in 2011.
5. However, Shell and ENI did not want to deal directly with Etete, who had been convicted in France for his part in a separate money laundering scandal, so they sent the money to an account belonging to the Federal Government of Nigeria in JP Morgan bank, London.
6. The Federal Government of Nigeria, under the Goodluck Jonathan regime, then transferred $801 million of the money into accounts controlled by Malabu and Etete in Nigeria.
7. The money was then allegedly shared to various public officials in Nigeria as bribes while the government got only the sum of $210m USD as signature bonus on OPL 245.
8. Officials accused of receiving bribes in connection with the deal include, Goodluck Jonathan, former Nigerian Attorney General, Mohammed Bello Adoke and former petroleum minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke. The accusers have no strong evidence to prove their points and Mohamed Sani abacha, a fulani man is a very strong force in Nigeria today. Buhari, who also served under Sani abacha regime might be fingered as one of the witnesses as days go by...it would be very interesting meeen. I'd urge Jonathan to fortify himself with Niger delta militants and security forces from that region who are loyal to him for now, because these people no dey give up easily oo.

You got the groove! Uncle Fortunatus is the pseudonym for Goodluck Jonathan in the files of the Italian Investigators and he points to a lot to know!

That is exterior now...
The interior might be Cool and okay than the outside look

Search the Internet net and you’ll see the pics of the interior which is as bland and classless as the exterior and surrounding area. Not surprised though - it is representative of the woman of the house.

Thegeneralqueen:
Which ball him dey ball a whole President for that matter with this kind of house It's so classless and it looks too cheap for a President to living in this kind of house if your father is a President and you approach me to be your girlfriend with this kind of house I'll just slap you don't you have class ?

From the first day I saw pictures of that house I felt the same way. It doesn’t have to be grandiose or overly expensive but it should have some class! A box-like structure that looks like an overstretched block of flats is not a good showing for the residence of a former President!

Kuginzi:
My advise for u is; face your religion, & I face mine. Because neither your propaganda nor your hatred can deter Islam. Islam is the most widely spread religion in the world. So to avoid high blood pressure, face your business. You can do us nothing!!!

Exactly what I wish Islam and Muslims in all of Nigeria will do! Live and let live. Worship what you will and let others be at liberty to do same!

Khaleell001:
Where did you read that from?

Islam. does not believe dying for foolish causes it rather emphasize the need to strive to just.


There's no where in the Qur'aan the "word" taqiyyah was used and encouraged.

I am thinking you are mistaking shi'ism (shi'ite belief) for the main Muslim belief.

Well, the fact speak for itself Sir.

Kuginzi:
You're ignorantly displaying your hatred against Islam with lies and deceit. Pls learn about Islam with sincerity by removing that stigma of hate against Islam from your heart, then you'll know the truth. Islam is a religion of peace.

It is clear for all to see and the verifiable statistics are available in the print and electronic. It is classic taqqiya when confronted with the cold and bare evidence of the violent and intolerant essence of Islam for the typical Muslim to say that others hate Islam and are intolerant of the belief system and that’s not the truth!

Shameless thieves wanting to keep their loot! So conscienceless and brazen! They epitomise the housefly who stubbornly insists on going down six feet with a corpse only to be buried with same on a journey of no return! Their eyes will open shortly when the people on their own rise up against their profligacy.

Kuginzi:
Take it easy!! No one wants to die

That’s Taqqiya you are deploying at me! For something considered a cause worthwhile more than one person will want to die! Islam offers something for which anyone who subscribes to the belief system would want not only to die but throw himself at death!

We were typically slow giving her room to strategise
