“Evans Vanishes”, “So, why are we wasting our time? Let us move on…” | Our top 10 quotes from the past week

This week eh! So much drama. Not only did we come within five minutes of having a new Commander-in-Chief (Acting), Lagos also got terribly flooded and in the middle of all that, someone though it’ll be a good idea to scrae the nation about Evans with two words… Just enjoy these quotes we curated while we managed not to drown in everything (no pun intended):
“I see every politician now says restructure but I disagree. I also think the acting President was wrong to say that Nigeria is insoluble. There is nothing sacrosanct about Nigeria. It can blow up anytime. It’s an artificial creation, which was made in 1914 and when it was amalgamated we were not there. It was amalgamated in the interest of the colonialists.”
The former NBA President, Olisa Agbakoba spoke with press men in his upscale office in Ikoyi on Tuesday about the explosive “future of Nigeria”.
“What is happening in Kogi, in respect of Senator Dino Melaye, as far as this constitution is concerned, it is an exercise in futility… In 2010, this parliament amended the constitution regarding section 69. It states that the number of those who are supposed to have requested his (Melaye) recall are supposed to line up somewhere in Kogi, while Melaye and his lawyers and each person would verify their signature… So, they need to come back here and convince each and every one of us that they have done the correct thing. Unless they do that, they cannot even give effect to it. So, why are we wasting our time? Let us move on and allow them to waste their time.”
Senator Ike Ekweremadu explaining the Senate’s stance on Senator Dino Melaye‘s recall; to which the Senate President Bukola Saraki then responded:
“I really don’t know why a lot of efforts are being wasted on this issue. These efforts should have gone on more important things.
It makes you wonder if the people of Kogi West felt an overwhelming need to apologise to exercising their rights over these elected servants after hearing this chastisement.

“This is a personal, private matter. What does my having been with a girl have to do with the public? You know the normal thing. People ask for unreasonable things, and if you deny them, they try to blackmail you if they have a way,” Ibrahim, a former governor of Yobe State.”

Senator Bukar Ibrahim’s epic response to the leaked tape showing him naked and dressing up with two unknown women.

Fashola should know that he is dealing with the National Assembly of Nigeria, not of Lagos. If the job is too much for him – the ministry is too big; it comprises three ministries, which are works, housing and power; if he cannot adjust, then, he should do the honourable thing. He should so the needful.”

Senator Danjuma Goje (Gombe Central, APC) is clearly pissed at the Minister of Works, Power and Housing if he had to bring this to the plenary after a three-week recess the way he did.

“El-Rufai will be the next president of Nigeria. The process of normalising him and erasing all horrors of his dastardly reign has begun.”

@Pa Ikhide on Twitter. His reference to “normalisation of El Rufai” was in relation to his stance on the #KabaFest argument that happened on the platform before the Kaduna Book and Arts Festival.

 

Ayo Balogun, Wizkid tweeted on Wednesday and while it is yet unclear if he meant this as a diss, the reactions on Twitter point to the fact that he meant it as a subliminal jab at Davido who sang about his “Yankee passport” on a new single with Olamide.

 

North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life? Hard to believe that South Korea and Japan will put up with this much longer. Perhaps China will put a heavy move on North Korea and end this nonsense once and for all!”

Tweeted President Trump on Monday night.

To which the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un later responded:

“American bastards would be not very happy with this gift sent on the July 4 anniversary… we should send them gifts once in a while to help break their boredom”.

Now we know what actually  causes wars.

And finally, before Lagos woke up drenched yesterday, someone somewhere had already planned to give the nation a scare:

“Evans Vanishes” was the major headlines of one of the major national newspapers even though that wasn’t exactly the case.
