Reacting to this post that has gone viral on the Nigerian cyberspace about a comment made by the inspector general of police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris that he said that social media is for the criminally minded. First thing that came to my mind was how can he say a thing like that when the Nigerian police has several active social media accounts, EFCC, ICPC and all other security agencies have social media account both Facebook and Twitter. This comment generated a lot of controversy online to the point I decided to watch the video myself on YouTube to see how such a comment would spew out of such a high profile individual. Idris was purported to have said this while answering questions from newsmen shortly after attending a function in Abuja on Friday. The Police boss was asked what the Force is currently doing about restructuring the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) as more Nigerians are calling for the end of police unit. Responding, Idris who expressed dismay at the question, said:
“You see, you have to be careful about this clamoring. “Social media is a technology available to those that are criminally minded and we have to be careful on how we respond to this clamoring like you are saying.
“SARS is a unit of the police that I believe should be sustained, what we are doing is to ensure that they are properly trained, and we are providing facilities for them that will make work easy for them. But I have to tell you that they are doing a very wonderful job.”
Now after analyzing this video with my team, we see no where he said social media is FOR THE CRIMINALLY MINDED, rather he said it is a TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO THE CRIMINALLY MINDED which is true. English scholars can easily decipher this because they are not the same thing. What he said is correct just the same way people use churches and other institutions for criminal purposes, same way they use social media. So what the IGP said is very correct. I see no reason for controversy. The funniest thing about this issue is that many people who reacted to this claim never watched the video, they never took time to listen to what the IGP said they just concluded and started bashing him online. Please I know the security situation in the country is not so good and everyone is angry but let’s not heat up the atmosphere any further. I also call on fellow bloggers to be extremely careful with the way we pass our information around because the internet is very powerful. Techcapon.com has decided to clarify this ensure everyone gets the right information. Thank you
The IGP could easily have said"the social media is an available wonderful technology but it can also easily be used by the criminal minded to commit crimes" but i guess as it has happen severally the IGP talks before thinking instead of the other way round,op you are only doing damage control like one lawyer that wrote in defense of kemiAdeosun claiming that in law you can not be guilty of obtaining what you are entitled to by fraudulent means!,but in all with Apc i'm not suprised.
The question i want to ask u is dat; is it only card carrying members of a party that vote during general elections?
They have families and followers whose numbers can never be known...so it can't really determine much.
your view just confirm my fears,isn't it only card members of apc that are suppose to vote in this primaries?,why bring the general elections into it?,by the way we never hear of how many security were deploy at the polling units n we have not heard of balot box snatching or burning!,what about the cost of the elections n how the funds for it was raised,apc is full of deciet deception n propaganda so this whole thing still create doubts in descerning minds.
The announcement of results of the APC Osun State governorship primary is on...We will only announce the results for the top three candidates in each local government.
This system appears good eeven though it may be costly,by the way was it apc or inec that organised the primary elections,were balots printed,how was security provided at the polling units,were there candidate agents,how much did it cost n how were the funds raised?,there is the need for these questions to answered before we are decieve into another abracadabra ,APC is to full of deciet deception n propaganda,this direct method as good as it may be will certainly involve lot of logistics n cost ,if due deligence is not taken we may just be dealing with monumental avenue of corruption in disguise n buhari will simply claim he didn't know or benefit directly from it.
afobam: The direct primary system of election is currently going on in osun to select the apc's gubernatorial flag bearer for the October 2018 election and the current chief of staff to governor aregbesola, ( gboyega oyetola isiaka) is leading the polls. #ilerioluwa2018.
This looks ordinarily great,but some questions need to be ask,with the high figures been release what actually is the total no. of registered voters in osun,how many of them are card carrying members of APC?,the figures for this primaries need to be kept for future references after the elections proper,the Apc is too full of deciet,deception n propaganda.
what malami iis saying in essence is that the government intends to detained dasuki till death to compesate for the 100,000 lives lost!,for goodness sake if the apc/buhari government really have all the evidence against dasuki as they claim daily let them just put the man on open trial n punish him for his crimes,but the givernment wouldnt do this because they know they are lying,everything malami said up there is just mumbo jumbo without meaning,but of course apc/buhari worshippers e.g the donkey cunt like mouthed sagay would not see anything bad in it forgetting that there is certainly a tommorrow.
Sistar: Uhmmm in a country where 4 eggs is luxury. Please you guyz really need to get exposed. In the USA eggs is almost free so you can fry a crate hence why most of us travel out there .When we return we are always chubby. This is the height of POVERTY. Am happy for her...because if they were to be married he would have poured acid on her. Lesson to be learnt. *NO MATTER WHAT HER OFFENSE IS. NEVER EVER RAISE YOUR HAND TO HIT A LADY* My dear its better to be single and hardworking than to die because of marriage(with a poor minded mentality dude). No wonder the rich dont allow the poor marry their daughters. Omo na die o! REALLY! EXCUSE YOU And perhaps you feel like fighting face your guy mate. If na so God dey hit una..no body go remain for earth you know.
continue decieving yourself with grammer,theories n principles.practicals will shock you die.
Realdeals: Erstwhile Presidential aide Reno Omokri has published a new book titled ”Leah Sharibu: The Girl Boko Haram Left Behind”. In a tweet, Reno Omokri, who is a strong critic of President Buhari administration said readers will be shocked at the great cover-up by the Buhari administration.
Even though im not apc fan,oshiomole will earn my respect if this eventually becomes true n the votes really counts but i seriously doubt if this will be allow to go through,when the time comes all sort of imaginary reasons will be given as to why it is not feasible even oshiomole will be forced to swallow his words,im waiting time dont lie.
The 2018 Ekiti state gubernatorial election has traveled every which way. To be sure, the nascent democracy of Nigeria is flourishing. Our blossoming democratic journey is developing without question. The event in Ekiti state has made thinkers, observers and watchers of politics, both at local, translocal, national and international levels to begin to ask the hallowed question of: “what went wrong in the PDP moving retrogressively backwards from 16/0 in 2014 to about 12/4 in favor of the APC in a state that was known as a ‘broomless’ state in 2014?” For now, Ekiti is the only state in the southwest that is controlled by the PDP as well as the only state won by the PDP presidential candidate in 2015, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
The event calls for concern indeed. Like the legendary saying or maxim goes; “How are the mighty fallen? Gold has rust in Ekiti, what then would iron do?” Some will argue that the Presidency played a role and the military and police were pro-APC. That fact and was applicable to the PDP victory in 2014 elections, where the state was said to have been militarized. But we mustn’t rely on the same baseless emotional attachment to sentiments. Money was used, as a core factor, and both parties played the money politics definitely. The victory of Dr kayode Fayemi has been described as a hard fought battle by the presidency. That is true indeed.
CHALLENGES OF THE PDP THAT LED TO THEIR DOWNFALL IN EKITI STATE
1. IMPOSITION OF CANDIDATE: It was very clear, loud, and strong in the state the governor imposed his deputy against the wishes of so many members of the PDP. There were reactions, but Governor Fayose used his executive power to silence them. Some of the party members decamped or cross-carpeted to the APC. Some honourable members too did same. How then did you expect the PDP to come out victorious? If the PDP had remained united and unanimously chose their candidate without any imposition, they would have come out victorious in the election. A house divided against itself shall fallout.
2. LACK OF PAYMENT OF SALARY TO CIVIL SERVANTS IN THE STATE: There is a concept in Ekiti state known as ‘Stomach Infrastructure’. This is a nomenclature posed by the Fayose regime. No one is arguing about the authenticity of the stomach project, but paying the people their monthly salaries is very necessary. People are becoming wiser by the day. Any form of stomach analysis without bank alert to the workers ends in failure. The PDP missed it here, the same thing happened in plateau state. The government owed civil servants about six (6) months salaries into the 2015 elections, and they lost because of the owing factor.
3. DISCONNECTION FROM THE PRESUMED GRASSROOTS CONNECTION OF THE PDP: Governor Fayose has over the years been bragging about his grassroots connection. Let be clear on this point, it is very easy for the governor to gather youths in the Ado Ekiti metropolis to walk with him. It is another thing for him to have huge acceptability in all the remaining sixteen (16) local government areas. If truly he controls the grassroots as acclaimed, why didn’t they deliver his party in the just concluded elections? There was an election in Anambra state and the governor won the election because of his massive link to the people at the grassroots. Gov Ayo Fayose says things that never exist. In all ramifications, he lacks that grassroots connection in totality.
4. PRESUMPTUOUS PROPAGANDA: It was very worrisome to note that while Dr Fayemi was busy working hard to victory, the PDP camp were busy looking for propaganda to sell in other to gather or get sympathy. In politics, one thing is sure, number. Instead of gathering the taxi drivers and motorcycle riders in Ado Ekiti by the governor, he would have been busy in one of the local government that day mobilizing and campaigning for PDP. Another off strategy of the PDP was the police incidents teargas. Instead of the victory walk, he should have gone to an interior local government to campaign. Insulting the president was another mistake that was unnecessary. The PDP in Ekiti failed to work. Rather was basing on propaganda to lure in the international community for possible intervention. That’s not good and correct at all.
5. WEAKNESS OF THE PDP CANDIDATE OR WEAK MOBILIZATION OF THE PDP CANDIDATE: While the APC candidate was busy working for his victory, the PDP candidate was just in government house receiving instructions and allowed his boss to do the work for him. He was not showing any meaningful seriousness to the people of the state on his capability and agility to lead. He forgot that his boss is not going to be the governor but him. There was a disconnect between him and the people. All what Ekiti people sees was Fayose. It is not Fayose they want to hear or see buy the governorship candidate. He never acted on his own to show the people his ability, he depended on the popularity of the governor. That’s not correct.
STRENGTH OF THE APC 1. Identification of PDP weakness: The APC maximized the loopholes discovered in the PDP. They took advantage of the weakness of the PDP candidate. They heard what they people said about his inability to represent himself. It worked for them, congratulations.
2. Blocking of PDP strongholds: The governor-elect did his homework very well. He lost to the PDP in 2014 and decided to study and understudy the system again. He knew the strength point of the PDP in the state and decides to block them from area of strength. He also knew the local government areas he was popular in and build the bond there solidly. The PDP failed to do this. They were busy doing mouth work while Fayemi was working.
3. Past experience knowledge: It is said “once beating twelve shy” the governor elect knew how it feels to lose. He vowed to work hard and avenge the disgrace while the PDP was busy sleeping on past glories of 2014. Experience worked and aided the victory of APC. Inexperience worked against the PDP. Lesson for all to learn from.
4. Military and police: it is arguably to say that same thing was done in 2014. Both parties are guilty of this. So the APC claimed they are doing something the PDP did while in power. Onlookers and observers described the APC use of military as worse. But the military and police has declined colliding with APC. They have said time and again that they are apolitical. If the PDP did it home work correctly, they would have won. Many states have succeeded in past despite military presence. As a political scientist, we look into the polity with our political microscope and political eyeglasses, to think deeply into the political jamboree and rigmarole in the state. We look beyond propaganda and political correctness. We investigate happenings to proffer solutions.
As discussed above. Other states governors are advised not to repeat the mistake make in Ekiti state. The fact that you are a seating governor doesn’t mean you can’t be unseat. Political gladiators and leviathans must learn to work for themselves, not allowing others to work for them. Ekiti state has been described as an uncommon state of surprises. The PDP needs to seat up in the forthcoming Osun election. If the learn from the Ekiti mistake, they may come out victorious. Security maybe much but only the strong would survive the political drill. APC is a ruling party, but the hard work of the governor-elect spoke for him. This victory is about grazing reserve, cattle colony or ranches, rather it is about the people of Ekiti.

President Buhari this morning delivered his keynote address at the 20th Anniversary of the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague, Netherlands.
After just going through buhari's address at the ICC 20year celebtations,something in me tells me that the ICC may have actually invited buhari technically for evidence gathering which may not neccesarily lead to conviction but to form a basis of fact,like getting his authentic voice recordings n other facts,buhari's statements in his speech especilally paragraph 8 will also be very valuable,is it not even rather suprising that just a single world leader would be invited to such an important occassion moreover a buhari under whose regime countless killings n masacres keep occuring with high suspicion of goverment implications,but lets keep our fingers cross life is full of twists.
ejiaga11: Fayose's brother Isaac took to Facebook to alert the public that the life of Gov. Fayose is in danger.According to him,security officials have blocked Ekiti Govt House.He wrote...
'As we speak, all the mobile lines of His Excellency Ayodele Peter Fayose has been blocked, and 1,000 Security officials blocking the Government House in Ekiti State. Nobody can leave the Government house as we speak!We are all being held Hostages in the Government House .
We fear our lives, and the life of the Governor because they want to kill him!
All the Television Stations and Radio Stations in Ekiti State have been shut down!Media houses have been compromised . Please help us to share this message to people that can help us. We are all in danger!Please don’t let Gov. Fayose die'
All those who are hailing this clear impunity should remember that the social media never forgets n there is certainly a tomorrow,instead of us to be clamouring for true change n improvements in all our national life some people are cheering this retrogression,leaders make history by correcting the past ills of their society n setting new standards of governance but wirh buhari/apc it is deciet,tyrany,vengeance,lies n suppression.it is time our electoral prrocess is completely computerized,the card reader stuff is just celebrated trash but i doubt if the buhari/apc supporters will see anything good in that,our laws need to be change concerning the use of the securities,i will suggest that the president should appoints all the security heads subject to confirmation by the senate,large scale deployment of the security should also require senate approval,the removal of the security heads should also be by retirement,death,incapacitation or by simple majority approval of the NASS,the president should be strip of the absolute control power over the nations security establishments.
A twitter user took to her TL to share a Whatsapp convo she had with her Male Bestie. She narrated the story to her friend sharing screenshots of her conversation between herself and her male Bestie. According to her, the guy whom she claimed wasn't suppose to ask for sex because she had earlier told him everything about her ex, heartbreaks and failed relationship, yet he had intention to fu.c.k her and run.
But this matter self na wa, how can a lady expect a male Bestie not to feel like knacking?
seunmsg: Some people will watch the video from BBC a d still call it propaganda. Fayose has not paid salaries of civil servants this year but he has the money to bribe voters with 4k each. This goes to show how wicked the guy is.
They first woman silently mentioned fayemi n the other one looked over her shoulders and mention pdp,my judgement here is that the money is been share by Apc/fayemi but with advice to the recipient to implicate pdp if asked,just carefully analyse the actions of the elderly woman n the younger one to see who was been truthful,but by the special grace of God Apc/fayemi are loosing tomorrow.
So Sahara reporters were too dumb to ask questions right?
Same way the BBC reporter obviously asked those she interviewed and they resoundingly said PDP was bribing with 4k.
Were you deaf that you did not hear them say PDP?
Your doom na tomorrow. Wait and see
but the elderly woman said they were been paid to vote for fayemi,is fayemi pdp?,some of you thinks you can fool every other person,i dont blame you ,you have to earn your BMC allowance but Alc/fayemi are loosing tomorrow by God's grace.
For God sake does it have to get this disgraceful low out of desperation by Apc? is this constitutionally legal?,those who are in support of this should think of tomorrow.
dainformant: A Customs official would be thanking his stars after escaping death at the hands of angry mob in Apapa area of Lagos state. It was gathered that the Customs personnel and his colleagues allegedly killed someone in the area because of "smuggled rice". The young men in the area mobilized themselves and descended on the officer they could catch.
The Customs officer was beaten black and blue and also injured in the process.
A video posted online shows the moment the officer was begging for his life after being left bloodied.
Some youths restrained their colleagues from further beating the man as they decided to leave him because of his status as para-military personnel.
with this kind of attitude by nigerian youth,i wouldnt blame any security personnel for refusing to take any risk to go the extra mile in doing their job,imagine people happily caling for the death of the custom officer not minding that most likely the actions of the smuglers on been caught led to the killings,truly what we nigerians need is ruthless iron fist to match our unruly behaviours.
There you have clear in the constitution,one of the requirement for president is,one has to be educated up to the SCHOOL CERTIFICATE LEVEL OR ITS EQUIVALENT n not just going up to form 5,principal letter of recommendation or nepa bill,therefore buhari should dust up the certificate tthe military claimed had been found or else come 2019 even a battalion of SANs will not safe him.itse sagay,festus keyamo n all the zombies should take note.
LibertyRep: He should be able to meet the requirement easily.
The problem, however, is that he might be rearrested immediately after meeting those conditions. It does not appear that the government wants him roaming free, however little it might be.
Those who are goading the government on the violation of fundamental human right and disregard for court orders should realise that those who hold the handle of the sword today may find themselves at the other end of the same sword tomorrow.
Dasuki should not go scot-free if he indeed helped himself and his cronies with public fund, just let his prosecution be done within the ambit of the law
Exactly,but when you say this the zombies will declare you an enemy of the state n supporter of corruption forgetting about the tomorrow.
I’ve been prompted to write a detailed review about Video Assistant referee (VAR) Technology following heavy criticisms of VAR from Nigerians and Africans alike. Africa have been bundled out of the 2018 world cup tournament and a lot of Nigerians think VAR played a key role in kicking Africa out of the tournament. Some even said VAR technology was introduced to eliminate African teams from the World cup ! In this post, I will explain VAR technology better and give deep insight including instances where VAR technology was used and how it favored African teams.
What is VAR and how does it work ?
Video Assistant referee is a team of three people who work together to review certain decisions made by the main referee by watching video replays of the relevant incident . It is a major innovative way to minimize human errors made by the referee during a game. VAR is football’s first use of video technology to reach more correct decisions.. The team is comprised of the video assistant referee himself (VAR), his assistant (AVAR) and a replay operator. They are situated in a video operation room which is essentially a room full of monitors offering different camera angles. The VAR team have the best viewing angles and full access to all 33 cameras in the stadium and communicates with the referee via a special fibre-optic radio. The VAR has no power to overrule a decision, he can only review a decision by the referee and help him make a but the final decision is made by the referee himself.
What are the rules of VAR ?
The video assistant referee team supports the decision-making process of the referee in four critical game-changing situations:
1. Penalty decisions and offences leading up to a penalty including foul leading up to penalty 2. Goals and offences leading up to a goal. 3. Direct red card incidents only. 4. Mistaken identity
Did FIFA introduce VAR technology just because of the world cup ?
CAPITAL NO ! VAR have already been in existence since last year with Italian Serie A and German Bundesliga already using the technology. The only reason the English premiere league are not using it yet is because more than half of the club voted against it. It’s only a matter of time before they join other leagues who have implemented it.
Can VAR also make a mistake ?
Yes it can ! No technology is 100% perfect. I'll give instance where made mistakes in the world cup. However, I can say with full confident that VAR is 90% accurate. 90% accuracy in any exam is excellent and I commend FIFA president Gianni Infantino for introducing this excellent technology into football. If the English Premiere League choose to remain in the stone age, that’s their problem.
Instances where VAR was used in the World cup and their verdicts according to top football analysts.
Sengal vs Colombia – Senegal denied penalty VAR: Yes
Verdict: Correct decision
South Korea vs Germany – Kim goal awarded after initial offside call VAR: Yes
Verdict: Correct decision
Mexico vs Sweden – No penalty for Hernandez handball VAR: Yes
Verdict: Correct decision
Nigeria vs Argentina – Nigeria denied penalty VAR: Yes
Verdict: Correct decision (Yes it was poor defending by Rojo, the handball was however not intentional)
Iran vs Portugal – Iran awarded penalty VAR: Yes
Verdict: Wrong decision (Unintentional handball)
Iran vs Portugal – Ronaldo awarded penalty VAR: Yes
Verdict: Correct decision
Saudi Arabia vs Egypt – Saudis given second penalty VAR: Yes
Verdict: Wrong decision
England vs Panama – Kane awarded hat-trick VAR: Yes
Verdict: Correct decision
Belgium vs Tunisia – Hazard awarded penalty VAR: Yes
Verdict: Correct decision
Nigeria vs Iceland – Sigurdsson blunders late lifeline VAR: Yes
Verdict: Correct decision
Brazil vs Costa Rica – Neymar dives for a penalty VAR: Yes
Verdict: Correct decision
Iran vs Spain – An offside equaliser VAR: Yes
Verdict: Correct decision
Sweden vs South Korea – VAR-assisted penalty decision VAR: Yes
Verdict: Correct decision
Was VAR really against African teams ?
From the analysis above, the answer is a BIG FAT NO. VAR made the right call almost in all the games. The only mistake VAR did in an African game is between Egypt and Saudi Arabia which analysts recognized but it’s not an African witch hunt. It was South Korea’s late goal, confirmed by VAR, knocked Germany out of the FIFA World Cup yet they didn’t cry wolf. VAR made a mistake against Portugal yet Portugal qualified. Lack of quality and preparation caused Africa to exit the world cup in such a disgraceful manner. You cannot give what you don’t have !
please stop the nonsense about "unintentional",once your hand(s) is extendend away from your body n comes in contact with the ball it is hand ball n a foul simple n short,why was iran awarded a penalty against portugal then?.
Yemi Osinbajo, professor of law, SAN, is an accomplished professional. Unlike many of our politicians, he has a second address. In other words, outside of government, he can survive, and survive with panache. Before his current position, he was the Attorney-General of Lagos State for 8 years. He performed excellently.
Prof. Osibanjo, is also a senior pastor with the RCCG. He was the pastor in-charge at the Banana Island road branch, Ikoyi, Lagos, of the church. As the senior pastor of the church, he was known for his humility, frugality, and godly virtues. Osibanjo, unlike most of his colleagues who will seat in their high offices and delegate evangelism to others, was always on the roads, accompanied by his wife, Dolapo, preaching the gospel of Jesus. He is a self-effacing man!
VP Osinbajo, was not looking for a job when he was nominated by president Buhari as as running mate. President Buhari, on a mission to rescue Nigeria at the time was looking for a partner who is a man of proven integrity and honesty. He found in Osinbajo, the qualities he was looking for. He wasted no time in naming him after meeting him in Abuja. His choice, was a master stroke. Many Nigerians, received the news of his nomination with joy, and pledged their support. Buhari and Osinbajo were elected as president and vice-president of Nigeria under the APC, a party the opposition PDP, and CAN had described as a Muslim party. Some openly expressed their disdain with Osinbajo for accepting to serve under Buhari, a perceived Muslim extremist. They asked: why would Osinbajo a Christian and pastor, agree to serve under a Muslim?
Osinbajo threw himself into the job with dedication. As a senior lawyer, he knows the limits of the powers of his office. He knows he is not the president. He knows that he must remain loyal to the president, and do the jobs given to his office by the president. With a president on his seat, the only thing he can do is to advice the president. He cannot insist that his advice be followed. In the absence of the president, he becomes the Acting president. We are all witnesses to how he brilliantly and efficiently held the office in the absence of the president. He travelled to different parts of the country to reconcile the government with certain parts of the country. He implemented policies that strengthened the naira against the dollars following the positive outcome of his negotiations with the leaders and militant groups in the SS part of the country. He created a pervasive sense of unity, and remained loyal to the president by attributing everything he did to the president.
Osibanjo, is highly trusted by president Buhari. The president is so comfortable with him that he ceded the management of the nation’s economy to him. For a every critical assignment or mission, he is the go-to-man of the president. He has visited many conflict areas on behalf of the president. Many will remember that he is the first to visit and commiserate with communities that has been attacked by the Fulani Herdsmen. After the attacks on some Benue communities leading to egregious deaths and destruction, VP Osinbajo visited the state more than once in a month. He attended the funerals of some of the victims of the attacks, and gave a heartfelt address on that occasion.
Recently, VP Osinbajo, has come under attacks by some pastors and their supporters. Many are questioning why and how he can still claim to be a Christian and pastor, and remain in the government out to eliminate Christians and Christianity. They are calling on him to quit. This is to say the least, uncharitable!
Many of the pastors, making these calls, will not even consider resigning from their positions in their churches no matter how bad things are. They will also, no brook any opposition from any pastor under them. Any pastor under them that holds a contrary view on issues will be removed on the direction of some spirit. This is the truth! The same people are the ones asking Osinbajo to stand up and confront the president. I’m not against Osinbajo confronting the president, or resigning from his position if he thinks there reasons to do so, that is his call to make. I’m against those attacking for not leaving in pursuit of their narrow and selfish objective. VP Osinbajo, is not in government as a pastor. He is there as an administrator whose actions and inaction, are governed by the laws of the country. He took an oath that imposed a duty on him to be fair and just to all, irrespective of their tribes and religion. He is the vice-president of Nigeria, not of the Christians in Nigeria!
If the pastors, believe that Nigeria should be governed by Christians only, they can form a Christian party in Nigeria, and contest elections. This is the situation in some European countries. In 2019, VP Osinbajo, maybe on the ticket with Buhari hopefully, and we have the opportunity to decide his fate.
What many may not have adverted their minds to, is what the situation could have been without the moderating voice and influence of Osibanjo. If Mordecai had been in the palace to counsel Esther, the Jews would have been destroyed from the counsel of Hamman.
Let me conclude this piece by advising the pastors and their supporters to, spare Osinbajo from the needless attacks. The Muslim community is standing solidly behind Buhari, who is the leader, and on whose desk the buck stops. We are tearing at our own. The pastors, should devote their energies in raising up righteous men who will takeover the affairs of the country, and set us on the path to sustainable development. VP Osinbajo is not perfect, only God is!
God bless Nigeria.

There is one major reason why i don't think that i will ever value the personality of osibanjo even though i have always view him with scepticism,osibanjo prides himself as a proffessor of law n a christian pastor,the major reason why there was insistance for a christian vice to buhari was fear of the religious agenda of buhari n hence the need for a christian to serve as a watch dog n checkmate,osibanjo coming from tinubu created doubts right from the beginning,the one incident that has proven the uselessness of osibanjo is the leah sharibu case,osibanjo is the second in command n therefore in the know of the federal govt actions concerning the dapchi kidnapped girls if he is not then that is a catastrophe.The only reason leah is still be held is because of the refusal to renounce her christian faith,the leah issue is a direct challenge n test of osibanjos faith n integrity as a pastor, proffessor n commitment to protecting the christian intetest which is the major factor responsible for his position today but what have we seen,a disguasting display of feeble mindedness n cowardice.we all know what would have been the result if the situation is reversed,the christendom from all the country n indeed the world n heavens will be shaken to its roots if osibanjo boldly challenge the federal government to ensure the unconditional release of leah within 14days or he shall resign but im sure he would rather die than to that,this also remind me of the chibok parents who were decieve to believe that buhari will get back there girls but till today even the few that were released no one can actually say anything about there issue,so you may have earn you pay for your efforts at osibanjos image laundry but he is failure already but is anyone even suprised?.
The issue of arbitrary estimated billing can still be corrected with the use of the old meters, it's just a question of encasing the meter with strong metal sheets with locks, a small glass space for reading,the whole construction should be in a way that will make it impossible for disconnection n reconnection of the feeder cables from outside simple, the problem had been the issue of illegal connection by passing the meter, we are just creating avenues for exploitation with all these unnecessary attempt to mordenise when a very simple technical idea would have been effective.
No ipob post dey complete without the usual pointless, needless, thoughtless and empty shallow and empty chest beating...
lmao...
Even if na one job den create, that's your fellow countryman or woman with a job.
Btw, they are currently dredging River Niger as we speak so go tell dem say we no dey home...
To zombies like you, everyone who's view does not tally with yours is ipob, for your information I'm a northern Christian minority ,I don't n won't support buhari because of his clear bias in thought n actions but in his continued bias he would eventually n inadvertently work to the benefits of those he thinks he want to place at disadvantage, you have your reasons for supporting him but continue, now go ahead n insult me again.
NafeesaAA: PMB has promised to uplift the country through economic revival, signs of that are becoming obvious by the day.
Heavy duty equipments are seen moving to Baro Port for the completion of Baro Inland Water Port.
When completed, the port will create over 2M jobs
Thank you Baba.
ordinarily this would have been good news even though the talk of 2million jobs is just thrash of political propaganda, the issue is has the dredging of river Niger completed down to the open ocean? if this has not been done then it's all just a wild goose chase, I know buhari is very desperate to give his kinsmen strong advantages in every aspect of the nation's affairs but it's not just by desire or might but by strategic thinking, planning n execution, northerners will be shocked to realize that effective inland water transport will actually favour the southerners especially igbos better than anyone else, just think of a functional inland port at onitsha n the igbo dominance of the import export business, so it's not a bad idea after all.

iheanacho ighalo may have Bleep up but that was a penalty, you can only talk of intent if the ball was last played by your opponent n your hand is not extended away from your body at the time of impact but certainly not you playing the ball against your own extended hand when not been pushed!,it was undoubtedly a penalty n a clear case of bias n outright cheating.
franchasng: We lack pace, we lack energy, we can't mark, we can't pass ball accurately and we can't even score open goals. People shouting FIFA and Referee ojoro, how? must we score by penalty
Watch Senegal team, even if they lose, if u are a Senegalese u will be proud of them watching how dedicated, agile, fast and determined they are.
Our players don't even know what to do with ball when they get ball. Run, they can't run. Chase, they can't chase. Mark ball, they can't mark. Score goal, they can't score , ah ah how una wan take score na
I don't know why we keep playing the same useless, dull football since ages, we need to start training on how to play energetic, fast game if we intend to go far in FIFA senior world cup anytime
Musa is the only player in the team that deserves to be a footballer. Others are just plain idiots strolling around pitch.
Iheanacho and Ighalo deserves to be banished from Nigeria; two useless strikers and they still got signed with millions by European teams, mhen life is just luck and destiny. Because if not luck and destiny how can Iheanacho and Ighalo become international footballers playing in European clubs and earning millions while some hot players die in their village wretched
If life isnt about luck and destiny how can a dull, heartless person like Buhari become a military general and later the president of 190 million smarter people
My people no kill yourself in life o, whatever u will be, u will be it whether u are good or bad simple
Thank you, you just spoke my mind, many times I have raised these observations in my hood but the so called patriotic supporters would not let anyone rest with Mikel this n that stories, just see how morroco played Spain even with just pride at stake, if it were Nigeria I'm sure we would have lost by 4-0.
