PMB should resign

Why, because a mad dog barked?

Please I also need security this yuletide! Robin Hood boys are not smiling o.

7Alexander:
I think Nigerian journalists usually suck at reporting.
What was the circumstances surrounding her kidnap?
When was she kidnapped?
Where was she kidnapped?
Was she just released, or was ransom paid?
How was she kidnapped?

This is terrible reportage

And as for you, this represents Nigerian journalists' style of reporting events and happenings? Just search on the net you'll get every info you need on this

awelekiti:
cramjones, thanks for this information but note this. Having bad political leaders doesn't make Nigeria a failed state. It's up to you and I to shun money politics and vote them out of the system, starting from our various states, to the national level. Another problem ailing us is selfishness and ethnic bigotry. This would say he's yoruba, another would say he's ibo. America has more ethic majority than Nigeria yet, they're as united as ever. We all need to change our orientation in this country and be patriotic....from politicians to the people they govern.

This is like the first sensible post I've happened to come across on NL in quite a long time. YOU NAILED IT!

kassy777:
You are just telling us how things are but delibrately refuse to evaluate the entire system, how it is going. I can categorically mentioned to you that you are er of Buhari and his one sided goverment.

And this negates his point? Hmm

drnoel:


Yes I can be Nigerian but if I now say may everything happening in Nigeria manifest in ur life. Pls say "Amen"? Am sure u will feel ur village people have come for u?
Don't be naive or try to be silly. If Nigerians refuse to stand up to the people leading them and keep on swallowing every BS that is dished out at em nothing will change. Yes for now the country is one for men cos in saner countries many things Nigerians take for granted don't happen.

That's your way of ing your grievances, Nigerian?

drnoel:


U forget the supreme court decision that the party is what is voted and not the person. So electorates that voted a party into office should have their party representative there and not anyother party. In sane countries it is done differently. Nigeria is just a mad country.

"Mad country" live with it or you're free to leave. Just see how easy it is for some people to say rubbish about themselves. Yes you are Nigeria and Nigeria is You!

dougivilla:
Did any body notice that the AG said petitions involving Financial crimes were first written to him and he directed the petitioners to re-route same to the EFCC and NJC? Is that the new format?

Which petitioner directs petitions involving financial crimes to the Attorney General........ and why did the AG direct the DSS, ........ not the IC or EFCC or even the regular NPF to carry out the so called sting?? When will the prosecution (not all these naming and shaming aka media trial) start?

What is difficult in a petitioner obtaining an affidavit?? Not even the IG or the affected states' commissioners of police were involved/informed. The implication here is that like PMB, the AG only trusts the DSS to do what they need them to do.

These people are simply shameless.

What is all this hue and cry all about? What's wrong with the Police, Army, DSS, EFCC, IC etc arresting anyone for a crime suspected to have been committed? Abi since the arrest wasn't made by EFCC or IC the judges are innocent of the accusations?
It's appalling the basis for criticisms in this country. There are better issues to criticise!

Hmm, so you guys condemning the army over this development expected the govt to be clapping for the secession protesters? Or are they now sympathising with kidnappers, militant herdsmen and other criminal elements mentioned there? Your hatred for your country will consume you.
#truth.

Quite commendable

Whatever may be your views about this news I think it's pertinent we understand that it didn't emanate from 'EFCC News paper' or 'Buhari Magazine', the media is saddled with the responsibility of providing news and their job is what they're doing as can be seen.
I therefore wonder why some Nigerians kick and kick accusing govt agencies of 'media trial' even when due to FOI, the agencies have no choice but to cooperate with the media and release such information. Besides, it's your right to know. SMH

Shayetet13:


GETTING ARMS FROM RUSSIA WILL HAVE CONSEQUENCES. BELIEVE ME, NIGERIA DOES NOT WANT TO BE AT THE RUSSIAN END OF THE UNITED STATES

I think it's better to be on that "Russian end" if we can clear up this Boko Haram mess as well as ND militants etc. Safety first. We can't enjoy the so called diplomatic ties with "America and co" if we're all dead

Zetra:


all the people that do PDP rigging are now in APC .
So what's for the masses?
We need another party devoid of people that have done political prostitution_ or have served in any office more than 4years (old cargos), only technocrats and businesses minded

I couldn't agree more but ppl don't want to associate themselves with politicians who have no money to spray around (stomach infrastructure). Buhari is finding things this difficult probably because he was left with no other choice but to accept heavily corrupt former PDP mafias into his fold in order to win elections, since Nigerians didn't want a poor man or party to come before them for their votes.
How then can we get these tribalistic, religious and social class assassins to accept genuine technocrats who may not be wealthy enough or may be from an unwanted tribe or religion.

I guess we get what we deserve all the time!

Well if this is true i think APC still has a huge mountain to climb before they can match PDP's rigging levels for 16 years

Keballl:


Your deliberate ignorance is disgusting. You shouldn't be posting on this board cos you are a very dishonest fellow.



http://dailypost.ng/2016/10/26/former-kaduna-state-university-lecturer-dr-john-danfulani-remanded-prison-criticizing-el-rufai/

So Buhari is now the Judge the remanded him

Yeah when you guys had an army of thugs to do the dirty job for you

Pavore9:


How many pictures of killed American soldiers do the U.S government release? No sane government shows the corpse of their soldiers killed by the terrorists, it is the terrorists that shows off the corpse of soldiers they killed.

You de mind the clown?

All this una big big hatters grammar you guys have been spewing here sef. Sometimes I wonder how I found myself in a country where it's supposed citizens would rather see it fall. Una well done oooo!
Every country has its history that may even be quite similar to that of Nigeria ;migration of ethnic groups into the present settlement, amalgamation etc yet we don't hear all these. It really is unfortunate the crop of youths we now have in this country. When youths of other countries are bringing about new innovations like Mark Zuckerberg, changing their lives and positively affecting others, some of you are busy wasting a 'generation' of time agitating for what your elders know will never be.
My bothers is that you guys are wasting your time. And the country's resources, as you'll always be saved against your misguided actions.
Please hate Buhari all you can but stop tarnishing the image of this country. Make we hear word ojare!

It's obvious they are trying to cover their cruel and evil looting tracks and some of us here see nothing wrong with this.
When it comes to such nonsense that would benefit only their pockets they'll be quick to do it with all the unity that cannot be imagined in this country, but if it were on a bill that would positively affect us they'll stall and speak big grammar.
The child marriage issue at the NASS (yerima) comes to mind

gidgiddy:


Yes this is Nigeria but the reality of Nigeria is a fraudulent one because it has illegally taken control of peoples lands without their permission. No level headed person accepts fraud, least of all people in the Niger Delta. Nigeria has illegally stolen their Oil wealth for decades and this theft has to stop. That is why they are blowing up the pipelines and destroying Oil installations.

Even the international community hardly ever criticises the Niger Delta militants because they all know that Nigeria is committing daylight robbery there.

Your forefathers never complained during the groundnut pyramids when agriculture was the main stay of 'Nigeria 's economy'. Well, enjoy the bombings since that's the best way you feel you should go, but Nigeria will surely remain Nigeria with or without these challenges. Every country has a challenge or another

NextGovernor:



You are the dumb ass dude. Court said provide your certificate instead of him to go to his wardrobe to get it once and for all, he employed 80 SANS with tax payers money to defend him and destabilise the judicial system. What is he defending in that simple logic of providing your certificate that won't take 10 minutes if he really have it.

What is more corrupt than this in a democratic system?

Lol I'll tell you what's more corrupt; the judge who fell for the antiques of the so called 80 SANs. If he had done his part without compromise then we wouldn't be talking about corrupt judges or certificate issues here now.
How I see it is that PMB is trying to make sure that he fixes every sector he can before leaving so that anyone who's coming after him will have to do it the right way and we'll all be better for it. You might think it's one sided corruption fight but you should take solace in the fact that this precedence he's laying will haunt any 'corrupt' member of this party and govt in future when he's out of office.

gidgiddy:


Wrong! When there was no Nigeria, who did the land and whatever in it belong to? It belonged to the indigenous people of the land. Just because some British profiteers came to west Africa to create an illegal and enforced union of unconsenting people called Nigeria, you turn around and say that the people have lost ownership of their land? That is absolutely laughable. As I said in a previous post, 'one Nigeria' is slogan that has been used to steal the natural resouces of the people in the Niger Delta for several decades.

But now this is Nigeria! You can only tell tales of history but here we are in reality, Nigeria!
And as I said earlier, You guys have been fooled by wicked criminal and greedy elements in your (Niger-Delta) region. They have access to whatever accrues to the region but makes sure nothing gets to the common masses there knowing quite well that Nigerians including Niger Deltans will always 'their own' kit and kin on the altar of tribalism and religious sentiments thereby pushing the blame to others. The moment you change your perception and reason differently about this you will see the need to begin your revolution with your own immediate leaders and every other thing will begin to fall in line.

Simply put : You guys have been fooled by wicked criminal and greedy elements in your (Niger-Delta) region. They have access to whatever accrues to the region but makes sure nothing gets to the common masses there knowing quite well that Nigerians including Niger Deltans will always 'their own' kit and kin on the altar of tribalism and religious sentiments thereby pushing the blame to others. The moment you change your perception and reason differently about this you will see the need to begin your revolution with your own immediate leaders and every other thing will begin to fall in line.

The government on the other hand did not also help matters. I would break barriers and protocols and deal directly with the people in that region instead of continuing with criminals who will continue to embezzle the incentives given for the benefit of the region rendering innocent people poorer and turning them against me. Ie if I were to be in power.
Between : please give democracy a chance! The military came and didn't help, but ever since democracy returned in 1999 the bombings started, as if to say 'we don't want democracy' we prefer military regime when they use force without looking back'

Be wiser my brothers

I think you guys are just wasting your time and energy for nothing! Total resource control as you put it is certainly never going to happen. It's just gonna continue till you get tired! So go on!

Well, I would have taken her words serious if she was a real woman some people reasoning sef

Two things :1) it's either you're for or against the unity in diversity of this country.
2). It's either you're for or against the fight against corruption in this country.

You shouldn't expect the same modus operandi every other government had employed in the past yet without positive results.
I and I think people like me voted in Buhari for bold actions like this. Obviously he's not even thinking of the next presidential election nor does he care if his life is at stake.

Except you are or sympathise with ipob or are pro biafra or the division of this country, you shouldn't but see the wrong in what this guy does on his blog. If kanu is arrested why not this guy? We should preach peace and togetherness rather than defection and blood bath.[color=#006600][/color]

jaymejate:
Easy to make peace with your brothers than with a total stranger.
Gej was a stranger to them.
You're brothers.

Not surprised

. Hmmm I see just as Jona was 'able' to negotiate with his "brothers" the ND militants "who were responsible for the gross epileptic power supply throughout his tenure"? Some guys reasoning shaa

Abcka811:
Don't tell us that Buhari does not know what and where he is going. If he likes, let him arrest all the supreme court judges, he is not fighting corruption. What he is doing is to have his way thereby trying to hide his incompetence. Even if he remove all the judges, come 2019 election will still removed him. If he likes, let him replace the courts with his Fulani lawyers and take them as the new Judges.
If Buhari knows what he is doing let him go after Amaechi who is the greatest and highest financier of Buhari election.
Until these apc big thieves are arrested no body will take Buhari serious. What he is ding is to scarter the system and make a repacement with his co-thieves and those who will give favour come 2019.

. Taken, but what about the Judges, should their alleged corruption issue be forgotten since Amaechi isn't yet behind bars? Just wondering shaa

kcnwaigbo:

It is the responsibility of he who alleges to prove.The DSS must be able to prove the monies were proceeds of a particular corrupt activity. You don't take someone's money and ask him to prove he didn't get it through corruption, the law doesn't work that way.I am however sure the judges would be ready ti explain alternative sources of their income but the law expects the DSS to prove that the monies were sourced from corruption and not the other way round

. I disagree with you here ; DSS says the judges have got monies more than judges should, if the judges think they should have such monies then they should prove it. Besides, the DSS claim to have overwhelming evidences and petitions against the judges, so they should quietly go and at least hear and see those evidences and deny or defend themselves if they feel they are being lied against instead of hiding under NJC to shy away from the Justice they should be upholding. Abi dem de fear their own court room?

ivandragon:


you just had to resort to insults didn't you?

they didn't come with grinders (like that's the only way to crack open a safe) but they came with equipment to take down security doors?

you think the DSS won't have prepared for the possibility of these guys having safes in their houses based on the experiences of other security agencies?

have you ever had the misfortune of being robbed & your safe busted open before your very eyes?

look, you may wish to defend your opinions, but dishing out insults when you were not provoked is a very warped way of responding.

Lord have mercy, why on earth are you guys endlessly arguing over this? The DSS have said what they did, if anyone doesn't agree with them, it's his opinion though it doesn't change what has happened. My opinion: if the judge is there present and is expected to open the safe which he 'locked' I don't see anything wrong with that. If they decide to take a safe to heaven to open it up, how is that an issue? N500m was discovered in an earlier investigation on the said judge according to DSS so that should answer the question of where they found that amount without opening the safe. What will be will be. The Buhari istration is here to stay and until 2019, which unlike most other politicians, he's probably not even keen about especially judging from his 'toes stepping' actions. I'll vote for him again if I have to and even if he doesn't win again. Shalom

WOCKHARDI:
And the Executive will still take them to court where he expects other judges ( not corrupt) to decide their case. OR, maybe, he has already convicted them.
What else is TYRANNY?

Except I didn't get your point well enough, I thought the 'fight' was against some judges who are allegedly corrupt but not the whole of the judiciary. Abi na all the judges follow chop egunje ni?

Please someone should please add me up on what's app and send me that president Zuma's picture. Thanks. @Topic I pray for much more success for the betterment of all of us
