Violence mars Bayelsa re-run

Prudence asks: “How can we claim that this is an effective nation with the ability to administer peace and security? Scores of people got killed amid the thousands of police and military personnel acclaimed to have been deployed in the name of an election in one tiny state.

This reaffirms the belief most people have, that life in Nigeria is not worth ten shillings. And what is the presidency saying about it?

Big Easy: “Dickson must fight. It will be unreasonable if he loses this election.’’

Amara: “There is no way APC will win Bayelsa election. They were rejected by the people of South South and South East.’’

Samal54: “For APC to win in Bayelsa State is unthinkable.’’

Yorubaparapo.com: “Funny.”

AriseNigeria: “How can one think or ever think he or she can suppress a rising sun.’’

Sunkanmi: “Our politicians should be called to other. They shouldn’t take the election as a do- or -die affair.’’

Lulu: “A lot of us leave the more important issues to dwell on ephemerals. Why do we still see power as a do or die affair? Until we see governance as service to the nation, our challenges will continue. What is the size of Bayelsa that a simple election cannot be conducted?

Of what benefit have the previous administrations been to them?’’

Don’t plunge Nigeria into crisis, PDP warns EFCC

AriseNigeria says: “This administration has failed in its avowed fight on corruption as soon as the fight became selective. 95% of Nigerians want the prosecution of corrupt officials, and hold no sympathy for them, but when you shield criminals in your camp and go after small gang of pocket pickers, then we have to question your motives, sincerity and integrity, and commitment to fighting corruption.’’

Adeboladey: “Who and who are in the president’s camp that he is shielding? If the EFCC doesn’t prosecute the people that have been in power since the inception of democracy, then who would they investigate? Please put sentiments apart, we voted for Buhari, and he is doing exactly what we want. If you have evidence against any member of his cabinet, bring it out and let’s see.’’

Green: “Corruption will always fight back. Take it or leave it, Buhari is doing what we voted him for. Jail as many criminals as possible.’’

Emenike: “How much has Buhari recovered and where has he channeled the money, let him tell Nigerians.’’

Emen: “Don’t be deceived by those who said thy are fighting corruption.’’

Adeboladey: “You are in an imaginary paradise, wake up from your slumber and start taking actions.’’

Ralf: “Catalonians in Spain are doing it now. Remember, that Yugoslavia broke up into Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serbia, Montonegro.

On Biafra we stand.’’

Joeben: “Please arrest all the rogue elements, prosecute them and throw them into jail. We can’t continue to run this country amiss.’’

Victor: “Disgusting. These people have no shame at all. You must refund all the stolen money.’’

Poor hygiene, poverty,
ignorance fuel Lassa fever
epidemic in Nigeria

Amador says: “As the epidemic fury explodes, the National Orientation Agency has not found it necessary to educate the people with jingles on basic health and hygiene principles like hand washing, etc.’’

Prince: “Our declaration of poor hygiene, poverty, and ignorant as the causes of Lassa fever, a disease that virus is connected with, is very limited or fixed. We should also ask for information about the emergence of the virus.’’ It is said that Lassa fever was discovered the first time in the 1950s in West Africa. Why did it not exist in West Africa before this time? If it is associated with a virus, why did the virus not exist before this time? Where did the virus come from? How did the virus come about?’’

Kester: “Even AIDS was a militized virus from the moon developed at a military laboratory in Bethesda, Maryland, USA. The WHO vaccines were used to spread it. When people are not proactive to vigilantly protect themselves and swallow foreign propaganda hook-line and sinker, that is what happens to them. Presently they have invaded us with toxic genetically modified crops. The health effects will appear in a few years time.’’

DSS arrests Faleke, Audu’s son

Cajaegbu asks: “Is this the right thing to do?

Is that the right way to resolve the political logjam in Kogi?

Just wondering!’’

Naira&kobo: “Its like APC wants to silence the two because of the election issues. If this is not dictatorship I don’t know what it is.’’
Odioko: “I am a firm supporter of President Buhari but would be very disappointed if this news is true because it would be clear that someone is trying to muscle Faleke out of the system.’’

Omotosho: “If you have been following recent revelations, you’ll agree that indeed, Nigeria needs a Buhari right now! One man collected N2.2b for publicity while several states could not pay workers’ salary and you say things are okay.’’

Ukwachinaka: “Why is it that all the offenders are members of the opposition?‘’
Best: “Because they were in power for sixteen years. They could not have shared money to the major opposition. Money was also given to smaller parties to campaign for them.’’

Jim Nwobodo abandons Anglican Church, re-marries in Catholic

Amador says: “That is his private affair and needs not make news. People would rather be interested in why he left PDP for APC last week.

Even then it’s still his choice even if he decides again to apply for instance for Russian citizenship and dump Nigerian passport. Personal decisions are personal.’’

Ikorodua: ”He is irrelevant in the scheme of things in Enugu State.

We pray that this time around, this wedlock would last for the remaining years of his life.’’

Ebuka: “What is to be celebrated in this?’’

Frank: “The church is not a political party.’’

Great: “What lesson is the Roman Catholic Church teaching us here? Is it that a man can dump his wife and pick another at will or that the

Church doesn’t have the capacity to call a big man to order?’’

Chiedozie: “The Church should not sell its birthright.’’

Nwabueze: “The Catholic Church is bigger than any individual. Irrespective of his shortcomings as a man, there is always a rule in the church before administering any sacrament, be it marriage or ordination no matter who you are. Once you meet the criteria set by the church, you are accorded the sacrament. Again, the Church is a place of reformation.

Father Mbaka: Petulant priest or foul prophet

Loveontopover says: “Leave Rev Mbaka alone! He is Nigerian and for that he has the right to free speech. So, if anyone is aggrieved, the person should turn to the law courts and seek redress. Mbaka was the only priest in Nigeria who was strong enough, damning the consequences, to tell Jonathan he was not ruling Nigeria according to the will of God nor the will of the people.’’

Prince: “Has Fr. Mbaka sought wisdom about fuel subsidy, VAT and devaluation of our currency? I think that he should tell Buhari not to do any of these.’’
