empty barrel, we have no say right? so why r u obsessed and bi.tching about Yoruba? shouldn't you be happy the bogey man Yoruba is out of power? mumu, "quiet, determined and warlike" indeed. is that why your uncle the lobotomized weakling can't deal with security issues?

Beaf:
The difference is we ain't scared like you. We take on giants and conquer them. . . And we gats the keys to the cash.

Giants of the big big and wild wild creeks. Can you live like a desert warrior. Do you have stamina for days to be strong enough to fight without eating garri and akpu. hahahaha. Anyway, this will be a film show. Only Yoruba have been able to fight Hausa/Fulani to a halt. We will see what the mighty ND with numbers lower than Hausa/Fulani children who are jobless and can become child warriors in an instant will do. Not the fat, over pampered children in the ND who cant even far*t without assistance. Nothing against your war. Go on.

How many are the almajiri's in the North at the last count again? Oh yes, i think it was 10million. This is not counting their cousin's across the border in Chad. . The Almajiri's alone are more than the population of the whole SS. Let them quick, quick and start. This contraption needs to be shattered. I welcome it.

Oh Oyedepo should just shove it mate. When in such a religious country as Nigeria, pastors should be the one leading the revolution, they are the ones fearing it. Make everybody face their job until the time come. The only thing of importance to Oyedepo is tithes, let him keep that lane. When the time comes he will need the money to buy tv air time and new ways to scam the faithful.

Wow, this is major.

Beaf:
Its good to have a mouth sha. I guess Gideon Orka, Saliba Mukoro, Great Ogboru etc are all Yoruba's from Gangan and Oniparaga.
Dunce.

These dudes are all and still non entities. They did absolutely nothing except one baby coup that died before it started., leading to sudden execution. Yoruba's still had to come and clean up the rubbish, baby coup. Even the mumu great cannot win an election in delta state, drunk palmwine tapper. ode. rotflmao. See these mumu's. Anyway, na to dey grab popcorn, boli and epa dey laugh. Again, IBB is not even Hausa/ Fulani. Ode, you were dealing with a minority northern tribe and they still fried your yansh. Na Hausa/Fulani abi? It is well. Igbo's go chop the yawa too sha, because dey too dey answer ND. And other major tribes just know Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. Everything east of the SW is Igbo. So good luck.

Beaf:
No wonder it took Niger Deltans and Gideon Orka to send IBB packing from your midst in Lagos. Lol!
Maybe we will set up our capital there too, while you are in sidon look mode.

ROTFLMAO. IBB? You mothers were hiding like chikens. Who chased IBB? Yoruba!!! Even Jonathan was cowering behind IBB's babariga and did not want to offend him by declaring intent for presidency until we shut that dream down. You are just a bunch of noise makers. IBB is not Hausa/Fulani. Una never hear Hausa/Fulani wars before. Your small population will be depleted to 0. Those people . Any way, in God we trust.

This is good, slowly and surely the country will turn on its head on Jonathan. Do they forget where Jonathan is sitting? Surrounded by northern states. We hope they can take the backlash. Who fights terrorists anyway? A man with nothing to lose is the most dangerous weapon. They are simply inviting Boko Haram to come into ND and blow up the place. Who will lose? hahahhahaha. Northerner's do not have any oil infrastructure, and they know how to drag wars for decades. See Jos. All SWners should just go home and sit down look make we laugh. The number of Almajiri's that will overwhelm ND. hahahahha. Kaboom! . At least the country will soon be divided into 6. We can chase everybody to their respective regions. Yoruba's are muslims as well as christians and so are ND. This is not an attack against a religion or an ideal, this is an attack against an ethnic group. They have made their announcements and the Governor and the president are not doing anything about it. ok o. "Grabs Boli and epa"

What is the senate and the NIS doing about this? These Chinese companies should have their contracts terminated and must be asked to pay compensation. Nigerian senate needs to look into employee laws. A foreigner cannot do this in China and not end up almost dead. Are we now slaves in our own country? Very disgusting . Enforcing employee laws should be the next thing on the senate's agenda. Why are we working 12hours a day? How can foreigners come and beat us in our own country without any repercussion. Why is the police encouraging this? Mr. Abaniwonda should be sacked! And the chinese company should be heavily fined and made to pay compensation to those they have injured. All the injured should be encouraged to come out and take their case to court. All contracts that employees sign, must be in line with employee laws and employees must have access to such contracts/copies. This is slavery. Chinese enslaving Nigerians.

Chinese Expats Treat Nigerian Employees As Punching Bags

By SaharaReporters, New York

The Chinese kick Nigerian workers on the testicles when they are not submissive.[/size]

If you are a Nigerian working for the Chinese, you are at risk of losing your private parts, says Maaji Meriga, after he practically lost the use of his manhood while working to construct railway tracks in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, for the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), a major overseas interest of the Chinese government.

[size=14pt]The 62-year-old casual worker and bread winner of a family of 6 children was left potentially impotent when the company’s transport manager, Marcho Chin, popularly called ‘old soldier’, allegedly kicked him on his testicles and punched him on the ear to prove who is boss.[/size]

It all began a month into his job as a water tanker driver on January 29, 2011 at about 11:00am when Old Soldier asked Mr. Meriga to fill his tank and water the road leading to the CCECC yard, around Karamajiji Village near the Abuja airport. Mr. Meriga said while en route and spraying the ground, another Chinese in charge of drainages stopped him close to the yard and asked he fill two drums with water. He obliged, turned off the main spray machine, opened the side tap and began filling the drums when Old Soldier came and queried him.

“He said I am wasting resources, that I want to spoil the tanker. I told him that I can’t spoil it. He just went and opened the spray machine,” said Mr. Meriga. “I told him that it is his brother that asked me to fill the drums. I bent down to switch off the spray machine when he then kicked me from behind on my scrotum and testes. I immediately fell down. As I got up and asked him ‘master why?’ he then blew me on the ear before entering his jeep and drove to the yard.

[size=14pt]Mr. Meriga immediately reported the case to the company’s personnel manager, Mr. Austin, but was ordered out of the premises, without any medical attention given to him.[/size]

[size=14pt]“I reported at Karamajiji Police Station. I Unclad myself before the Police and showed them what happened to me. They saw my thing was swelling. I told them I am dying, I need,” Mr. Meriga said. “One officer followed me to the company but Mr. Austin told the Policeman he will not allow the white man go to station unless order comes from above.”

But several days later the order never came. By this time, Mr. Meriga’s left testicle had become swollen to the extent he was admitted for five days at the Garaku General Hospital in Nasarawa State. He was in need of urgent surgery as “examination of the testis showed grossly enlarged left hemi scrotum with marked tenderness of contiguous testis”. One medical record stated that an impression of inflammation was “made secondary to direct blow resulting from a beating”.
[/size]

[size=14pt]Regardless, the Chinese company had made it clear the Nigeria Police couldn’t do them anything; after all Mr.  Meriga wouldn’t be the first to receive a ‘Chinese kick to the balls’ and nothing would come out of it.

A year earlier, on February 5, 2010, another of the company’s water tanker drivers, Michael Francis, a casual staff for over a year, had on resumption of duty that morning told Old Soldier the pump of the tanker to be used to wet the ground was faulty. He was asked to manage it.

But later that day, the assistant transport manager, Mr. Lie, better known as ‘Bedebede’, wanted to reduce his daily wage as the ground he had been allotted was not properly wet. His refusal allegedly earned him a kick to the groin. He fainted on the spot and was subsequently hospitalised for over a week at Access Hospital located along Police Barracks Road, Gwagwa, Abuja.
[/size]
[size=14pt]“He held my shirt, slapped and kicked me in the joystick when I refused to give my wages card for him to cut some hours from the work I had done that day,” said the 29-year-old. “The pay is N600 a day and we can work from 7am to 5pm. I refused since it wasn’t my fault, because they can cut your money by half, then how much do I have left?”[/size]

The company had tried denying having any Chinese staff bearing that name but conceded when Mr. Francis produced a picture of himself and Bedebede taken together on December 16, 2009 at the CCECC yard. But again, the company’s Nigerian personnel manager, Mr. Austin, was involved in sweeping the case under the carpet. Mr. Francis resigned from the company on February 16, 2010 as he couldn’t resume work immediately after he was discharged, as the company had mandated. He was not compensated.

In pains, distraught, and in urgent need of money for his operation, Mr. Meriga in February 2011 took his plight to the Brekete Family Show, a human rights radio magazine talk show, run by Ahmad Isah, who brought him and Mr. Francis on live radio to tell their stories.

“Nigerians are being brutalised by foreigners in our own country. In their country, this can never happen. We reported to the Human Rights Commission, Police, Ministry of Justice, everywhere. What has anyone done to the foreigners or the company? Nothing!” Mr. Isah lamented. “If you see how swollen his testicles were. He couldn’t do anything, he couldn’t wear pant, even to stand was a problem. I had to spend over N350,000 of my own personal money to pay for Meriga’s surgery and hospital bills at the National Hospital, just to save his life. The company did nothing for him. It is pathetic!”

Mr. Meriga petitioned the Commissioner of Police of the FCT Police Command on February 22, 2011, in a case of criminal force and assault. Eight months later, the Police spokesperson, Jimoh Moshood, says investigations are still on.

“The DPO Lugbe handling the case told me the matter has not being charged to court because the complainant went for medical treatment and has not returned for the police to conclude their investigation and charge the person to court,” Mr. Moshood said.

But contrary to Mr. Moshood’s claims, the Police in an unprecedented record time of six days had concluded the case in favour of the Chinese eight months ago, through Chief Superintendent of Police Olufemi Abaniwonda, the Divisional Police Officer of Lugbe Division.

CSP Abaniwonda declared in his report dated February 28 that as a “matter of fact, there is no case to be arraigned in court because no witness to facilitate the prosecution”. But Mr. Meriga had provided several witnesses whom the DPO dismissed as “hostile witnesses” collaborating “to see how they can make false claim on the Chineseman”. He then wrote that Mr. Meriga be warned to “desist in parading himself within the company”.

[size=14pt]CSP Abaniwonda further compromised his authority. He had received a letter from the Chinese company on February 28 requesting for his report on the case. Despite being a criminal case with police reports only to be given to courts of law, the DPO in a few hours quickly dispatched a signed copy of the 3-page Police report directly to CCECC’s Managing Director at Plot 215 Cadastral Zone, KM 10, Umaru Yar’Adua Way, Airport Road, Abuja. To please the Chinese, he wrote Mr. Meriga was never kicked in the groin.[/size]

The DPO by his actions effectively denied Mr. Meriga his right to seek justice for the assault he acknowledged occurred when he wrote that Old Soldier “slapped the complainant on the face as the complainant alleged”. The content of the Police report further suggests Old Soldier was never interviewed on the incident, as he was never identified by his real name, only described as a suspect named “Mr. Old Soldier”.

A lawyer, Nsikan Robinson, had also voluntarily taken up the case then. His best effort was to write CCECC on February 22, 2011 giving the company seven days to repatriate Old Soldier and Bedebede, pay N10 million compensation to each of his clients, and for the company to bear their medical expenses. Eight months on he says lack of funds and not fear has hindered him from instituting legal action against the company.

Very little has indeed being done in the eight months since Messrs. Meriga and Francis also petitioned the Executive Secretary, National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on February 16, 2011 and the Director General, Legal Aid Council of Nigeria on June 24, 2011.

Only once since July did Mr. Francis say a lady called him from the Legal Aid Council, a government agency which gives free legal aid, promising to call again to give him an appointment. The most the NHRC, which has constitutional powers to prosecute cases of Human Rights abuse, have done is exchange of letters with the Chinese company.

“We demanded a full response from the alleged company. The company’s lawyer wrote back referring us to the police report which rather blamed Meriga than the company,” said Lambert Oparah, the Human Rights Commission spokesperson, who said the commission has being pushing to settle the case by dialogue with all parties.

Phone calls, text and email messages to the Chinese Embassy in Nigeria, including Mr. Wang, the embassy’s representative in Lagos State, went unanswered. But the Chinese company through their solicitors, Paul Attayi and Co, categorically dismissed Messrs. Meriga and Francis stories as “gold digging exercises” and told the Human Rights Commission that they should go to court to seek redress.

[size=14pt]“Our clients are prepared and determined to frustrate this exercise. Our client is prepared to defend itself against such frivolous and vexation claims with fanatical determination,” said Mr. Attayi while stating that the company “recognises and protects” the rights of all employees as contained in their employment letters.

But employees of the company who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal say their working conditions are greatly abused and the worst in the construction industry. Most workers say they don’t have employment letters and have remained casual labourers for months, some years, thus being denied such benefits as health insurance and pensions.[/size]

[size=14pt]“If you say you can use a machine or you can drive, they test you. If you pass they give you a form you fill there and return to them before you start work. They don’t give you a copy,” said one labourer. “In 40 people, maybe five are staff, the rest are casual. They keep promising they will staff us. A lot of us are getting injured but because we are not staff, company will not take care of you. Our Nigerians in company management are not helping us. What can we do? To find work is difficult. We just have to accept.”
[/size]
When Mr. Austin, the company’s personnel manager was contacted on Messrs. Meriga and Francis case, he feigned ignorance of them stating: “I don’t know very well. Actually we have many cases on ground but I can’t recall now. Are they our workers?” On the illegality of the company engaging people on casual labour for extended periods, he quickly said, “that’s where my statement stops”.

A successful surgery was performed on Mr. Meriga’s testicle on July 7. He is still on medication but says he doesn’t take for granted anytime he has an Attention. Some months back, his manhood was dysfunctional. His case is one of justice delayed is justice denied as he is losing faith in Nigeria defending the rights of its citizens at home and abroad.

“I don’t think Nigerians can go to China and behave like that and go free. I want Nigeria to follow the law and give me justice,” Mr. Meriga says.

I have never seen in any war where an opponent expects the person he is fighting with to feed him. And carries on the anger for almost 40years.hahahhahaha. funny shi*t i tell you. Dont start a war if you dont have plans on how to feed yourselves. Food is the fastest way to break anyone. If you never chop, where you go get energy to fight. Instant surrender.

[size=14pt]Senate: FG overspends subsidy fund by N1tr[/size]

[Senate President David Mark]

The Senate yesterday asked its committees to investigate how the Federal Government overspent the budgeted funds on fuel subsidy by up to N1.1 trillion since the beginning of the year.
About N240 billion was provided for the subsidies in the 2011 budget, but so far government agencies responsible for running the scheme have spent up to N1.3 trillion this year, the Senate heard through a motion moved by Senator Bukola Saraki yesterday.



The Federal Government has planned to stop the subsidies starting January, but this is facing criticism from labour unions, opposition politicians, lawmakers and many prominent people.

Ending the scheme would inevitably send petrol prices shooting up to about N150 per litre from N65 per litre.

In the motion co-sponsored by 13 other senators yesterday, Saraki said instead of spending N20 billion each month on fuel subsidy as budgeted, government spent up to N165 billion in one month alone in breach of the budget law.

Saraki said government has so far spent about N1.3 trillion on fuel subsidy this year, translating to 700 per cent above the budgeted sum.

He said reports by some prominent foreign economic journals and the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has revealed how volume of fuel imported into Nigeria is inflated fivefold and then smuggled out and sold at higher prices in neighbouring countries after collection of large sums of money as subsidies from the government.

“Fuel subsidy as it is being managed today has become a risk to the entire economy. The implementation of the 2011 Appropriation Act will surely be in trouble waters if a variation of N1.2 trillion arises as a result of the level of expenditure incurred on fuel subsidy so far.

“Although N20 billion was set aside for subsidy on a monthly basis in the Appropriation Act 2011, in August 2011 the total figure expended was N165 billion of which the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) was N88 billion and the Independent Marketers was N77.7 billion.

“In the first three months of the year both NNPC and the Independent Marketers did not exceed N62 billion monthly but within the last three months figures have ranged between N150 billion and N186 billion,” Saraki said.

Speaking on the motion, Senate President David Mark said the scheme has been hijacked by a cartel operating like Mafia. “Whatever they do is completely exclusive to them. They are very few and 95 per cent of us don’t know what is happening. It is important to investigate the subsidy to know whether or not it has achieved the aim it is set out to achieve,” he said.

Saraki said illegal expenditure on fuel subsidy diminished the power of the National Assembly as the organ of government responsible for appropriation of all public funds.

Debate on the motion soon became a debate on whether to remove fuel subsidy or not.

In his contribution, Senator Ibrahim Gobir (PDP, Sokoto) opposed the proposal to remove fuel subsidy.

“The issue here is about misappropriation of funds in the management of the subsidy fund… I believe that if we look at the management of the fund, it may even be that we don’t need to remove the subsidy after all,” he said.

But Senator Heineken Lokpobiri (PDP, Bayelsa) said the time has come for fuel subsidy to be removed, as “subsidy has only benefitted a few people and it has to go. The people that it is meant to help have not benefitted from it. In my area fuel is sold far above the N65 approved rate.”

After the debate, the Senate asked it committees on Downstream Petroleum Resources, Appropriation and Finance to investigate the whole fuel subsidy scheme and report back.

Last week, President Goodluck Jonathan wrote to the National Assembly on government’s intention to stop subsidising cost of fuel in the country. State governors have already announced their support for the plan.

The outcome of the investigation launched by the Senate yesterday is expected to influence the position that it would take on fuel subsidy.

Fuel subsidies have been a long-standing policy for Nigerian governments to ease the cost pressures on the people.

Ending the subsidy has been met with widespread optimism by international investors, who believe it is inefficient, fuels corruption and holds back the country from reforming its downstream oil sector, Reuters news agency reported.

But many Nigerians view the subsidy as the only benefit they get from living in an oil-rich state and say they would like to see the government cut costs from wealthy politicians before asking more money from subsistence workers.

Captain save an underwear bomber. Is this man mad?

If they were truly serious they will simply choose well known and respected Nigerian entrepreneurs and personalities from around the world, and then create a grant in which up and coming entrepreneurs will show their ideas, and the one chosen by the panel will be given a grant. The grant can be in N20m packages. This will help a lot of brilliant entrepreneurs do something with their ideas or  expand on whatever company they have started. This board of entrepreneurs can also serve as mentors to the winners to help them become sucessful. We have a lot of these people for a panel all around the world that can fill up this panel and help in allocating the money to the right people. In conjuction with NTA. At least NTA will get some money from the viewership and they can like to upgrade their graphics/programming and give their presenters pronunciation/voice lessons. . If done well almost 2500 people can create jobs for hundreds of thousands if they are encouraged. The grant can be divided into Sciences, Arts, Business, Agriculture, engineering, health care research e.t.c. Not a reality show by FG, will Jonathan say "you are fired?". What a joke. Idea is good, execution is a disaster.

. Who says you need common sense to be a PhD, World Bank executive or Nigerian minister? And who came up with the bright idea to put a refinery in overpopulated places like Lagos and Rivers? . When there are places like Ekiti, Ebonyi or Borno? . Are they planning on reducing the Nigerian population? Do we have human beings as leaders or robots? buhahahhaha. Comedy.

They even took the gateman. ROFLMAO . What forging can a gateman possibly do as alleged.

hahahaha, Goodluck is trying to become a dictator. Freedom of speech too is going to be affected. Goodluck, look at what happened to your predecessor's who tried to stifle freedom of speech in Nigeria. History always repeats itself. I hope the senate and HOS reacts to this. Goodluck is pushing his luck.

Another very dumb move. So now Nigeria will be flooded with fake drugs, fake products, weapons and all sorts of things. Wow, the brilliance of the economic team set up by Jona is mind boggling. Are we really sure that these over pampered trash that we bring from all over the world under the disguise that they are from "elite" schools are not better off being just professors? They seem to lack ability to apply themselves in common sense environments. This is like one step forward, one million back. Now all the terrorist groups will have free opportunity to import anything, as long as they can bribe the right person. Goodluck Nigeria.

1luvkipsus:
I read the story this morning in the dailies and i felt really sad. In my place, an 80-yr old man must have gotten grown up children, grand children and even nieces and nephews who would never allow him/her go through the stress of queuing on a line for a so-called pension. How much is the money after all?? They give him 10 times that money every month. Honestly speaking, I'm not happy with the Yorubas when it comes to taking care of their elderly ones. Too bad!!

Let me borrow a Quote from corky for you:

"Your ridiculous little opinion has been noted"

If you have American citizenship (ATL Girl), your dreams have just died, ended, destroyed. . . finito.

Will this not be a house that will qualify for being valued at N1billion, as per the prices we see by the scammer real estate agents on NL? . N45m. FEEDEEFEE FOWER!!!!

very very funny thread. Yea, this move is very very unbelievable. It just wont work. Is this all World Bank madam can bring to the table? What a shame. There is nothing in place to ensure a safer transition. All this big grammar you people are blowing, tell that to the people that live on 2 dollars a day who cant afford to come on the internet and be rational or blow grammar. When they handle all of you here, una go know sey water don pass garri. Food is too damn expensive already because we import everything. Goodluck to you, Goodluck to Nigeria. Presido better put on his thinking cap. You have adviser's yes, but you make the ultimate decision. Not every advise is good advise, at the end on the day it will be Jona's job on the line when chaos breaks out. .  . In the mean time i want to say a special thank you to Father and Mother of 2mch for the alternative plans they made in 2mch's life. Goodnight, sit tight nigerians.  

At least they were caught and the police did their job. So maybe some police work in Nigeria, while some dont.

My OP title was changed. If the posters are smart people they will not only read the thread title but the title on the article. I didnt change anything from the newspaper, but the mods may have for clicks. Now, the fact still remains naira is dropping in value. It is about N160+ to a dollar, they expect it to be close to N200 to a dollar by december which is not too far away. cheers.

Beaf:
You want to declare Lagos an independent country, yet you wish the FG to wipe your arse. The FG gives the states more than enough free money (money they don't deserve) to sort themselves out locally, clean themselves up and create jobs.

If your state cannot create jobs from the free money the FG gives it, then what right do they have to make poor people homeless? In fact, what does it do with all that dosh?

What will we hear next, that the FG should come feed you and yours 24/7 for free, while you chase poor people out of town? Maybe the irony escapes you.

There you go, doing round about poo. If the FG knows that they cannot support the human traffic, then their robots should stay out of SG business. ANd if the FG oyel warriors want to control the oyel, push and create fiscal federalism. I wonder why the hesitation. Please expressly make it happen. I have denounced your claim that Lagos will collapse. But you are here trying to spin the crap again. The fact remains that as Lagos is part of Nigeria, it will bear the burden. It is up to the FG to reduce that burden by creating opportunities across the board for their citizens and stop making them live like animals. If people are doing all of this to survive then i wonder the impact of this oyel money you are screaming. Even vocal slender one of your brothers was living in a dump in Lagos to survive. He left the heavenly delta, with oil money flowing on the ground to come and live like a criminal in Lagos. Searching trash to survive .A delta boy, but oyel money no touch im tongue. So Mr. Elepo. just disappear and keep quiet when SG's are making do with the resources at their disposal. Like i said, it is late, good night. Singing out, 2mch.

Beaf:
Lol! Dude, this getting even more entertaining!
If only Nigerians like you will learn to read, they wouldn't make such ignorant statements in public, all you have to do is use google really.

I see you are trying ever harder to derail the topic, because your arguments are quite childish, weak and defeated. Please forget all these agbero diversions and face the fact that:

No you are trying and have been trying to derail the topic since your first comment. You first talked about how it was elitist or morally wrong. Then you went off tangent and started spewing crazed shi*t about Lagos collapsing. And then further went mad*d about emissaries. So dude, who is crazy? . Wipe your mouth again, oil is leaking. You cant do your nonsense maradonna with everyone. The fact remains and back to topic, the FG is responsible for creating incentives, jobs and opportunities in every corner of the country. If this were in place people will not debase themselves by living in dumps and shanties, while oil warriors remind everyone else that they are at their mercy. Focus on doing your job which is deceiving the populace, but the truth remains. It is late, and this argument with you is unnecessary because you will keep arguing as your principals are now in the spotlight. Mr Elepo.

Beaf:
Stop being jealous of a place that fate has excluded you from. And stop trying to derail the topic, because your arguments are a failure; just admit that it is wicked to make people homeless, especially if those people are poor with nothing to fall back on and nowhere to go. It is evil, sir.

It is called maintaining law and order. If land and houses are given to everyone that breaks the law, then what are we really saying and what message are we passing across? Nigerian's dont know what an orderly society should be like. We have moved away from the hunting and gathering stage. The people that pay their rent and taxes have a right not to see the menace. There is nothing elitist about it or wicked. The fact remains that if the FG provided jobs and equal opportunity across the board, all these people will not come to Lagos and be living in shanties, when they can be comfortable at home. This is a fact. It is a trickle down effect and it must start at the top. which is the FG. Face facts and stop shifting blame. And trying to bring down the efforts of someone managing the small land that is available.

Beaf:
Of course the likes of the Ooni of Ife are now Hausa's because they are in PDP! Dude, you are really outta sight!!!
I didn't realise you could be this hilarious. Those people are far wiser than you because they can see the stark realities on the ground; there might be flowers and decorations in Lagos, but those things will not sustain even the psychedelic concept sustenance for a country.

The only thing that generates money in Nigeria is oil, every other thing is a sad dream at the moment. Even the current diversification of the economy is being driven by oil, no part of the country except the SS and Anambra are ready for a split; it is that realisation that caused your folk to send emissaries in their wisdom.
It is left for your likes to spew crazed psychedelic stuff thats distant from reality to justify the maltreatment of the poor and the bulldozing of their homes. Whereas, everything is paid for by the FG.

Oh yes, those emisaries have a right to demand what is truly theirs. Afterall, they sold the SW on a platter, and a deal is a deal. Now if you are so self assured, since your principal a Niger Deltan with all the oil in the universe is at the helm of affairs why is he not campaigning for fiscal federalism? Of course you find every thing funny, but oil champion abi merchant, if you think you are sooo self sufficient, ask for fiscal federalsim now. . People have been demanding, uncle Jona has been dodging. See, wipe your mouth the oil is driping.loool. You are the one saying crazed shit. You buy the people's conscience, you pay up.  Mr. Spin doctor, your crap is failing. Go and drink more oil and come back. . Elepo

arsenefc:
Does he look dirty to you?

His clothes are always well ironed and there is no evidence he has body odor or halitosis. I think he is clean too, No?

Did you get a new job? you were quite neutral.

Beaf:
Carrying the rest of the country?
Dude, every last part of Nigeria is an oil parasite. You carry nobody, tell me another new one, cos this is getting quite entertaining!

. Delta has a population of about 300,000. Forget what you heard in the polls but the can still steal N944m to renovate some 10 classrooms. Imagine a population of over 8million and the budget they will require.hahahahah. joker. No state in Nigeria carries the weight Lagos carries. Even Kano is bigger than Lagos by far. So if the SG does things to make life tolerable all you ridiculous jokers should hide.

lagcity:
yeah Mr Jona really put a lot of mileage on that jet . and now they are trying to throw the same Tinubu under the bus.

If it was a Yoruba that did what Jona did, you will see them opening multiple threads calling the person a traitor. Imagine now, they have the mouth to laugh and say nonsense. When they were shaking from fear and doing frantic travels all was well. Well, i hope the SW has learnt their lesson. It is the only region that is hardly swayed. 2015, is another year.
