Please and please do not be biased and answer my question with all sincerity and unbiasedness. 1. If it is said that the functions of the DSS includes the prevention and detection within Nigeria of any crime against the internal security of the country. 2. The protection and preservation of all non military classified matters, concerning the internal security of Nigeria. 3. Such other responsibilities affecting internal security within Nigeria as National Assembly or the President as the case may be deemed neccessary. The question now is this: Which of the following should be the priorities of the DSS? 1. BOKOHARAM INSURGENTS 2. THE AKWA IBOM GOVERNMENT HOUSE 3. THE EKITI GOVERNMENT HOUSE cc: lalasticlala and seun |

Politics / Kogi: At Last, The Power Shifted. by nairaminds(m): 9:04pm On Nov 29, 2015 |
KOGI: AT LAST, THE POWER SHIFTED. It was twenty four years, three months ago and exactly 27th August, 1991. A state called Kogi was created by the then Babangida Military Administration and after enormous agitation from the people of Ebira and Kabba/Okun who were hitherto in Kwara State. The Igalas who were heavily dominated by Idomas in Benue State had cause to also agitate for creation of Okura State. At the end of the day, Ebira and Kabba/Okun won their agitation for Kogi State while the Igalas failed to achieve their own Okura State. In order to end their domination by the TIVs and Idomas in Benue state, they were merged with the Ebiras and Kabba/Okuns to be part of the new Kogi state. The Ebiras and Kabba/Okuns welcomed the Igalas with open hands as brothers and sisters, not knowing that they were inviting big time enemy in to their house. The Igalas became to Ebiras and Okuns in the new Kogi state as the Tivs and Idoma were to Igalas in Benue state. The Ebiras and Kabba/Okuns were actually warned of the tribalistic and power mongering nature of the Igalas but the former took the warning for granted because of their love of hospitality. No sooner did the Igalas settled down in Kogi state that things began to nosedive as their true colour started unveiling. Between 1992 and 1994; 1999 and 2003, the Ebiras in Kogi central and Kabba/Okuns in Kogi west allowed their 'brothers' from the Kogi East(Igalas) to take the first slot of leadership as Governor of the state thinking that in subsequent years ahead, the Igalas would allow them same opportunity in reciprocal gesture. This was never to be because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Igalas became strong and politically domineering, forgetting how they were pushed out from the old Benue state, having served as "Agatu" (Labourers) to them for years in the past. Every attempts made by the central and west Kogi to have taste of leadership was rebuked by the Igalas from the eastern Kogi. When Prince Abubakar Audu, an Igala man, now late, became the first Executive Governor of the state for six years, he introduced sentiments and divisiveness in the politics of the new state. He brought about tribalism by locating every single project in his eastern axis. He infiltrated the central and western axis of the state and caused sharp hatred among the willing internal collaborators for no just cause other than selfishness and vaulting ambition. This seed planted by the first Executive leader of the state grown and continued to germinate with the subsequent leaders. It is therefore, not surprising that the tribalism, selfishness, animosity, injustice and hatred created in the state by the first executive governor were also adopted and continued by the subsequent governors as Alhaji Ibrahim Idris alias Ibro and presently, Captain Idris Wada who incidentally are all from Igala land of the Kogi east. This made an average Igala person and even some internal collaborators from other parts of the state to think slavery that the Igalas are born to rule and nothing will make power shift from them. Prince Abubakar Audu who was the first executive governor of the state and left government some twelve years back was still to emerge winner of the recently conducted governorship election in spite of his low performances and high level of accusations had he live to witness the conclusion of the inconclusive governorship election. May the soul of the late Prince Audu live in peace and may Allah, the Most High forgive his sins and grant him Paradise, amin. To further illustrate the tribalistic despot and selfishness of the Igalas, when the late Audu'replacement was sought by INEC, the Igala APC caucuses suggested Mohammed Audu, the son of the late Audu since according to their myopic selfishness, the seat of governor of Kogi state is hereditary and meant for them. If this is the case, it beats one's imagination why election is then conducted. From all indications, it appears that the National Working Committee of All Progressive Congress has done the expected by endorsing the first runner up in the still valid Primary of the party conducted on 29th August 2015 in person of ALHAJI YAHAYA BELLO ALIAS FAIR PLUS to replace the late Audu. Bello is 40 years and well experienced man from Kogi central of Ebira. All attempts to insinuate hatred against him has not worked and will not work. Let people think about God and stop thinking about people with their devilish simpletons. With the adoption of YAHAYA BELLO as replacement of the late Audu, the best thing has happened and no one has done this but the Almighty God who gives anything to whoever He wishes and at any point in time. As we await the formal announcement of YAHAYA BELLO endorsement by NWC of APC, it is axiomatic to think God on what has happened so far. What people think cannot happen is happening and will happen by the Special Grace of God, and when God has spoken, nothing else can happen in contrary. The power shift is happening and will happen. Even if the outstanding votes are diverted elsewhere, which is not possible any way, it will not stop what God has destined to happen, which is the inevitability of POWER SHIFT. When unexpected happens because expected hardly happens, nothing we can do but to say THANK YOU LORD Indeed,THANK YOU LORD. cc: lalasticlala 4 Likes |

Politics / Tribunal Declares Aisha Alhassan Victor In Taraba by nairaminds(m): 1:32pm On Nov 07, 2015 |
NIGERIA has got its first ever elected female governor after the election appeals tribunal declared Senator Aisha Alhassan of the All Progressives Congress (PDP) as the duly elected governor of Taraba State this morning. After the April 11 elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec) had declared Darius Ishaku of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the Taraba State governorship contest. However, Senator Alhasan rejected the result and lodged a suit with the election appeals tribunal claiming the polls were marred with irregularities. In April, Professor Kyari Mohammed, Inec's returning officer in Taraba State, said Mr Ishaku scored 369,318 votes to emerge victorious. He added that Senator Alhassan came second with 275,984 votes, while Chief David Kente of the Social Democratic Party polled 29,966 votes to come third. Since then, the matter has been pending before the election tribunal with senator Alhassan claiming that the results ascribed to Wukari, Donga, Takum, Sardauna, Zing, Yorro, Kurmi and some parts of Ussa, Karim-Lamido, Bali, Ardo-Kola and Lau local government areas were not acceptable as they did not reflect the true results of the votes cast. This morning, the tribunal agreed with her and sacked Mr Ishaku as governor, declaring Senator Alhassan the duly elected governor. While the case was pending, Senator Alhassan was nominated or a ministerial position by President Muhammadu Buhari and subsequently was screened and cleared by the Nigerian senate. Following her victory at the tribunal, President Buhari will now have to nominate another minister from Taraba State. According to Senator Alhassan, all the complaints about the irregularities and abuse of the election guidelines were promptly reported to Inec but that no action was taken. With her victory, she will become the only female among Nigeria's influential 36 state governors. Nigeria has never had a female governor before, although several states have women as deputies. Between November 2006 and February 2007, Anambra State deputy governor Virginia Etiaba served as governor following the impeachment of Governor Peter Obi but an appeal court nullified the impeachment, also nullifying her tenure as a governor. http://www.nigerianwatch.com/news/8138-nigeria-gets-first-ever-female-governor-as-tribunal-declares-aisha-alhassan-winner-in-taraba- cc: lalasticlala 2 Likes
