are you human being?

Last I checked I was born of human parents. I have a naval so from all the empirical evidence I can gather yes I am a human being.

Why do you ask?

moninuola65:

sponsored by stupidity?
what's that mean?

It was an attempt at humor. I'm proposing that he excels at lacking sense in the same way an athlete excels at sports i.e. CR7. As a result the fictitious company "stupidity" is sponsoring him like Nike would sponsor an athlete.

The op must be getting a check for this kind of ignorance. You are sponsored by stupidity no doubt.

ShobayoEmma:
The only saving grace for Saraki from this saga is for Osinbajo not to become a full blown president hence Tinubu will have something to bank on then. How i wish both Saraki and Tinubu can go to hell. Osinbajo needs Buhari than Tinubu for now if you really know the kind of play on going for now underground.
Happy birthday to my very self.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OGA! Enjoy your day. Many more. Blessings fam!

This is an irresponsible response. If yoou comb through this forum you will find instances of blasphemous jabs at different religions and divinities, from Christians to Muslims, from Muslims to Christians, from atheists to all source of divine power.

So because some people are throwing feces like monkeys we should all join? I go out of my way to respect all. All I ask is the same courtesy.

Honestly what productive outcome could emerge from his initial disrespectful post?

Even Shuku okuko abiama knows this is not possible, potor goats will rather keep bleating upandan calling the abokii to do that for them.

Would you speak ill of Allah, Oluwa, Jehova, etc the way you spoke of Chukwu Okike Abiama? You'd be best served if you realized your transgression and apologized.

I've never understood this train of thought. Why not arrest all looters? This game of deflection is getting us no where fast.

Just castrate the animal

Death would be better. There's no place for that kind of evil.

Some people do not realize that it takes maturity and wisdom to say sorry for the sake of peace rather than a a superiority warfare which will help no one at the end. There is courage and strength in humility. Kudos to the minister for his courage and wisdom.

Bingo!

Typical afonja

You're a typical clown and a half. Ask around I'm as Igbo as Osadebe and ofe nsala. Nice try though.

I can respect him for realizing this is a fight he can't win. Say sorry, get the allocation he needs and then perform. If he is able to really erect some major infrastructure that's all that will be remembered in comparison to "winning or losing" an argument with the NASS. Well done for seeing the big picture.

The culture of laziness, get-rich-quick, corruption, and bending the rules has become too woven into our individual psyche to just be merely a political syndrome.

Ask yourself, are the agitators' state and local rulers doing any better than the FG in impacting communities despite the resources at their disposal?

What percentage of Nigerians steal electricity? How many don't pay taxes? How many offer and accept bribes? Is anyone their brother's keeper? How many Nigerians care about their immediate environment? The statistic is mind-numbingly offensive and jarring.

No institution is spared from corruption, from the temples of gods to the justice system, the corporate world....everywhere is rife with the Nigerian brand of aggressive wealth acquisition where the ends justify the means.

The rot is pervasive, yet some of the very miscreants who exploited the system are adding to the sound bites by claiming a populous movement.

Imagine Atiku and some state governors talking about restructuring. The greatest showboat, Fayose, is worth billions while Ekiti is slinking down deeper into the quagmire and rot of his antecedents and kleptomania.

FFK, the most racist, tribalist, combative, foul-mouthed, and sectarian public figure there ever is has been busy trying to fan the embers of hate, and yet some people believe he's talking about justice and fairplay.

Nnamdi Kanu, a maniacal demagogue with visions of his own personal grandeur, one who called for the wholesale slaughter of your fellow Nigerians, is now the mouthpiece of the collective destiny of the igboes.

If the leaders of the movement, if the caliber of people in the ilk of Atiku, Fayose, FFK, Kanu, and such other tainted and violent, dangerous men are the neo-vanguard of your idealist balkanization of Nigeria, then your movement is already collapsing under the sheer weight of its hypocrisy.

Fayose and FFK milked the Nigerian system dry. They are beneficiaries of both the rot and magnanimity of our failures, and they became so affluent in a society as rotten and broken as they depict. Yet when they lose power, they talk of restructuring and marginalization and war.

The igboes want power and affluence on a platter of gold; they want the presidency and the key to the resources and influence it entails handed over to them. It doesn't work that way. It's a democracy; field someone halfway decent and take your chances at the polls. You can't sulk and throw tantrums if you cannot win elections; nor should you harbor a persistent victim mentality for a war you started and lost almost half a century ago.

The yorubas have no reason to complain: they held power for 8 years, but what did they do with it? All OBJ did was cultivate another generation of looters, and set in motion the tragedy we see before us now.

And currently their man is running affairs at the top while they hold key positions. Lagos has enough IGR to not even need much of its federal allocation. Why isnt Lagos like Dubai or New York?

The minority tribes are also misguided; democracy is a game of numbers where there are only 2 sides: the minority, who will have their say, and the majority, who will have their way. You can't have democracy any other way. Your damnation is your numerical status, which is no one's fault.

So this rampant aggression is a collective assault at democracy, and yet we insist it's here to stay. Why wanna eat your cake and still have it?

Is it my fault as a muslim northerner if your leader screws you out of your rights? Is it your fault if the endless retinue of Northern leadership impoverished my society while they wallow in stupendous wealth?

Is it my or your fault if the Akpabios and Amaechis and Wikes and Odilis impoverished their own people?

Start at the grassroots, where your angst and suffering began.

I hope you don't expect me to argue with you. We are on the same page. The game and the players are both at fault. But as we all know when things get tough people resort to any all options as a means of escape. And as always there are people waiting to take advantage of the desperation in the masses.

Kanu was a nobody babbling in a basement in the U.K. A few years ago but PMB and the APC have made him a folk hero through their various mistakes, missteps and inaction.

Once again I'm in more or less total agreement with what you've written. Well said.

A couple of self-deluded demagogues making noise does not equal dominoes falling, whatever that means.

We sneer at the tepid warmongering of nonentities.

What starts as a whisper can quickly become a roar. Nothing is working and people are quickly losing their patience with a broken system that is refusing to be fixed. It only takes a few to grow into many. Keep looking down on the dissenters if you please but daily their numbers are swelling.

The dominos keep falling. Nnamdi and Buhari look at what you have done...

Both sides of my family have made me proud. 1st the Obi Abgogidi yesterday. Now Igwe Nri today.

He thought he was big time but now he will experience the major leagues.

mkasum:
somebody please call a doctor this nigga needs brain reset

First let us pray for him.

Don't be fooled. Zuckerberg bought an island. Gates has a home that cost 9 figures. Buffet has a private jet.

The good professor has returned fire. Let's see how the ex-gov will respond. Can he explain the debt with little development? Utomi did as I expected and didn't even resort to the "tout-isms" that usually litter our political landscape.

Utomi, who had served as a Secretary of the State Government, said Uduaghan and some 'elements' in previous governments sabotaged his efforts to contribute to the development of the state.

The economist and Uduaghan have been known rivals who at any chance to speak publicly on issues concerning the State would slam each other.

The former governor had, in an earlier reaction to a berating statement made by Utomi, advised him (Utomi) to contest the post of councillor in his ward, instead of aiming to be the next governor.

Reacting to this, Utomi, in a statement made available to Punch on Sunday, July 23, accused Uduaghan of misappropriating billions of Naira of Delta State's funds.

He dared the ex-governor to render an account of his stewardship including the abandoned Independent Power Project in Oghara that gulped over N20 billion.

Utomi said there is nothing to show for the power project.

He said, "While I agree with the former governor that our conversations of today should focus more on the future than the past, we must recognise that the damage done to Delta State by the mismanagement of its finances and resources still plague the state as we speak. Uduaghan's legacy is a sad reflection of this awful chapter of our history.

"My comment on optimal debt-to-revenue ratios is verifiable and those who have the ability to do the mathematics are all over the place. It was a comment made to draw attention to and prevent the worsening of a problem that is still ongoing; because in spite of the bailout funds from the Federal Government, and the huge windfall from the Paris loan refunds which now stands at over N24bn, the Delta State House of Assembly has approved over N18bn as loan for the Okowa administration this year alone. In fact, a N13bn plus loan request was recently made to the Delta State House of Assembly.

"Deltans need to be aware and decry this type of heavy debt burden, especially as there are no commensurate development projects or programmes on the ground to justify it and to aid repayment in future. Governor Okowa was right to raise an alarm about the over N600bn debt that he claimed to have inherited. He has however proceeded to increase this debt burden by over N60bn of his own. This is only further mortgaging Delta State and the future of our children."

Utomi also refuted some allegations made against him by Uduaghan that he did not contribute to committees he was appointed to chair during his (Uduaghan) administration.

The former governor had also alleged that Utomi did not use his international and national connections to attract development to the state.

Utomi said, "A good councillor would have done much better for the people than Uduaghan did as governor. There is extreme misuse of the opportunities available to Delta State. It will take a serious and truly capable government to vigorously tap its potential and create jobs for our teeming youths. This is one of the many reasons why I believe Delta State needs new political leadership in 2019. Deltans are not meant to suffer from the jeopardy of a clueless administration, especially at this critical phase of our existence.

"I would have imagined that Uduaghan will be very sober and saddened by his legacy of mismanagement and gross wastage that he left behind in Delta State. Trying to spin his poor record in the hope that Deltans would have forgotten so soon is a failed attempt to rewrite history. Undoubtedly, he knows that only few Deltans speak well of him and it is his pain to struggle with that reality.

"As he grapples with history, what is more important to Deltans today is how we can rectify the wrong policies, decisions and actions of the past, so that we can create a government that would not only meet the needs of our people today but guarantee a better life for successive generations.

"This is the task that I have offered to commit myself to between now and 2023. We are looking forward to 2019 with hope and renewed zeal for the beginning of a 'New Delta' teeming with opportunities and alive with possibilities."

Utomi, like many other politicians and stakeholders alike, are embarking on subliminal and unofficial campaigns ahead of the 2019 political dispensation in the country.

guy especially in this season of uncertainty, I believe there's so much capital flight.

And now they want N200=$1 for "pilgrims." These people have no shame nor love.

Desyner:
I prefer dangote to the british investors cos he will reinvest the proceeds here unlike the british investors.

Real talk. Politicians already provide enough capital flight.

The end of his Immunity Clause should bring interesting news stories. We all can see his lack of honor in the affairs of Imo State but to have cold hard facts will be something to see. There is a special wing in Hell for public office holders who steal from the masses. May Amadioha shave his head with blunt razors.

Utomi usually keeps it classy. But for this guy I want him to take off the gloves and go full on motopark tout on this useless looter. A man who left nothing but debt in one of the richest states is talking about someone else's flaws? Only in Nigeria. He should be somewhere in shame. We all know how ND goes loot but most have something to show. This man just ate and left a hefty bill. Utomi descend upon thee.

Wow! You don't know Gani Fawehimi? You must definitely be a Young Chap! Yet you write Matured. I think they should teach about that Man in schools
Gani Fawehimi was a Lawyer extraordinaire. Had his chambers etc.. But he takes on the government like Fela Kuti. He fought General Babangida to a stand still, Refused all their Bribes for him to stop Criticizing the government and was a Regular Visitor to the worst of Nigeria's Jail.. Far away in Gashua...Hot like a Furnace. They will Chain him like a Dog and taken to rot in such prison believing that will either Kill or Silence him forever. And whenever he was Released, he was back at it Criticizing General Babangida. He later died a Free man from Lungs Disease which his family believes he got as a Result of his frequent visit to that horrible Jail. General Babangida once said there are only 3 People he Respects or have a very high regard for and one of them is Gani Fawehimi. His type is very rare cos he is Bold and fearless. He tried to tackle them through the Law and Courts they controlled via corruption. He was one never to give up. He fought to the very end. Yes this same man floated a party and despite his good resume, Nigerians didn't Vote him, they will prefare a corrupt person later.. Gatto to now, am on the Bus on my way to London. Catch you and remain positive

Ps: That's my Blue Shirt showing lol... People are tired sleeping and am on NL chatting

Now I most certainly have to read about this man. Blessings in your travels fam. Peace.

She is a certified presidential material. The APC would be smart to present her as either their candidate or Osinbajo's rumming mate in 2019.

Who would be mad if this was who Arewa was saying must finish their 8 years? We never present our best.
