If the Lions cannot be taken care off in the zoo, better to release them to the wild. Even the in wild their chances of survival is 50:50 in this condition. The competition is great but at least they can fight to survive.

But this isn't new .......Oby's prayer against air NIGERIA is the normal everyday prayer that her kinfolks have been quietly and outspokenly being prayed against our NIGERIA ever since Jonathan lost then the Genesis of the cries for Biafra....... Its in their genes!

One of the problems of this country is that we have short memory. This same woman was on Jonathan's neck on Chiboks girls and brought the issue to international recognition, then she was not an Igbo woman. She was then well supported by your likes who see everything Nigeria on the lines of tribe, religion and politics. I don't expect you to understand the basis of her comment because most people have forgotten the various effort in the past to set up a national carrier. Has the issues which made those efforts to fail been resolved? You can see what is happening in the power sector. If the policies and structure are not properly put in place, we will continue to go in circles. I believe that is why she made to comment.

Dollabiz:
ohhh

It seems that when some people identify themselves with this party called APC, they just loose their sensibility completely. Jerry is one those who worship APC and their leaders and we know why. It baffles me how everything that come of out of the mouth of APC foot soldiers is full of lies, propaganda and deceit. He should have known to speak with evidence.

It is very unfortunate that Rochas chose to absent himself on a day an important deliberation and decision is needed. His actions are well documented and he will get the result in 2019 elections. He surely decided not to attend the meeting because he would have been the lone voice supporting donation of land to Buhari herders Ltd

Everybody have their styles or ways of doing things.
That lady has her style,Emmanuel Macron has his style,Trump has his style,PMB has his style.
There should be no basis for comparison.

What is Buhari style?
This is how leaders inspire a nation to achieve greater heights. You have to be seen among the your people. You can see the plain sincerity in her. Because of her I have support Croatia this far in the world cup.

Omoboricash:
Most of these politicians rode on the popularity of PMB especially Sheu Sanni. He has been contesting since the time of AD. Now we won the election on the popularity of Buhari. Let wait and see 2019 would be interesting

May be he is disillusioned like many who supported Buhari in the last election. Buhari has a cult followership in the north due to what he is or seem to represent to them. Shehu sani is one who speaks up when he sees thing going wrong and the president has surrounded him self with those who alienate him from the people and true position of issues.

The President and his party have not managed the 2015 elections success well. The primary aim of the party prior 2015 elections was to get GEJ out and therefore entered into all sort of alliance with all sort of people. The party had no strong principles or manifesto, and the president is even denying some of the campaign promises. The leadership style of the president and his party as a whole is not inspiring. We all know these politicians are after their selfish interest but the president failed to unite his party by tactful and pragmatic words and actions.

Deep animosity will continue to pervade in areas where tribes feel that land and right to existence has been taken away. What we have done of the years is treatment of symptoms and allow politics to mix up with the whole issue especially with this government.

The black Africa is cursed with bad leadership. We have leaders who turn rulers and never listen to the people. Until we begin to understand the fundamental right of a group of people to pursue their common destiny, we will never respect one another and appreciate the advantages of diversity. We have been bonded by colonial masters, sewn with faulty constitutions, that were never agreed by the people and in some cases manipulated by a stronger group for selfish reason. When will black Africa get it right?

deolu2000:
I hate the way we leave facts and concentrate on mediocrity in this country, I can boldly say that Sen Abaribe knows the consequences of standing surety for an accuse person, so why is everyone making it seem like he was being persecuted unjustly? He stood surety because he was ready to bear responsibility for the actions of the accused, and now that the accused has abcsonded then the Senator should face the consequences of his action.

The fact is that the case is in court, why arrest him for same issue that is already in court? I expect you to demand due processes in our national life because that is what strengthens our institutions. He knows the implication of standing surety for Kanu. Remember that prior to the invasion of Kanu's home this same Abaribe and some other leaders in the east were having meetings with Kanu, to make him drop his hard stand on Biafra.

fratermathy:
Nigerians should chill abeg. Football is not mathematics. I agree that he missed superb opportunities but which player hasn't ever missed opportunities? Even the almighty Messi and Ronaldo have missed many opportunities, including penalties, in this world cup alone.

Odion should be left alone. The Super Eagles played well but their best wasn't simply enough. I hope they learn from this.

I completely disagree with you. He had two big chances and wasted both. The second one coming from the hand of Rojo was a complete mess. In world cup you just have take you chances. Stop this self adulation otherwise this players will not raise their game. Have you wondered why the Argentine players were so happy? reason is that the backlash would have been so unbearable for them back home.

Boss13:
Former President Obasanjo has said he will comply to any probe. He has expressed his willingness. What I don’t understand is why has the probe not begin? I think Nigerians deserve to know what truly transpired in the power sector during the Obasanjo era and what is currently going on in the power sector now.

On the other hand, APC was a party that claimed to run on the anti-corruption campaign. First, there have been no successful convictions yet. No guilty pleas. We hear about backyard recoveries, but the amount is yet to declared to the public. The perceived corrupt people in APC are holding political offices and enjoying life. This is not anti-corruption campaign but a charade.

These politicians are taking Nigerians for a ride.

APC is a confused party, without any vision. Their mission is to ensure that they stay in power as long as possible.

maasoap:
Government didn't kill them and didn't send anyone to go and kill.
To stop killings like this, we need to address the issue wholistically. Not just shouting in the media when the killings made the headlines. We need to start asking questions like: what prompted the killings like this? We need to address the root cause. Ozubulu killings comes to mind.

But Government did not protect them either. We all surrender the right to protect our ourselves to the government and that makes the protection of lives and property a primary responsibility of the government, otherwise there will be severe transgression on the weak. What is happening in the middle belt is a clear attempt of genocide and suppression of the indigenous people of that area. The problem we have in the black race is our inability to predict the future,hence we don't proactively deal with today's issues objectively with the future in mind.
The failure of the Buhari government to first recognize and protect the right of the indigenous people of the middle belt is the main problem. Cohabitation should not be forced on any persons or group of persons but rather it should take a natural part of mutual respect and understanding. Period

Everyone is just bothered about figures been thrown around in the just signed budget, but we are not tasking the government on the performance of the past one. If 80% of all our budgets were implemented, we won't be where we are today. Of what use is it to have a fine and agreed document without sound implementation. Nigeria need to know what was budgeted on infrastructures last year, how much was released, what level of completion they are currently and what more is required to completion. It is surprising to know that funds for projects are often returned to federal purse after a fiscal year.

BigBelleControl:
Eyah! So Pedro's would be affected. Where will those oloshos display thier wares. Social club should welcome more merchants.

That shouldn't be your major problem, they will always find their way else where for greener pasture.

Buhari of reckless utturances and Obasanjo of bad mouth. It is good for the country that this people never unite.

Buhari allowed this killings to fester for too long. And now they are shedding crocodile tears. Will their tears bring back the death to life or comfort the bereaved. When they should have impressed it on their boss to do something drastic they all kept quiet. Bunch of charlatans.

I don't have a problem with Police or EFCC chasing down these criminals but my worry is on the methodology. More innocent persons will fall victims of wrong arrest. Arresting people indiscriminately and labelling them criminals is another way of perpetuating corruption within the police system. If you have not been a victim you may not appreciate my worries. The youth within this forum should be proffering result oriented applicable methods of curbing the excesses of this criminal group.

While we can agree that hooliganism is bad but match official should be careful not to incite fans by poor match handling. If the extra time has been exceeded why did he allow play to continue. The fans knew how badly the home team needed the 3 point fighting relegation. Well the team is already headed for relegation because anything okorocha touches goes bad. This was was the only team never relegated in the Npfl before the leprous hand of okorocha. The season before relegation from the npfl he swore not to be aware of the team financial crisis. Well let him sell the club and use the proceed to settle the fine after all has he paid pensioners?

Oya Buhari supporters please interpret Femi's press release, most Nigeria youths are lazy to comprehend.

rusher14:
But you should know many Nigerians don't read. And when they do they don't even understand.

As clear as the write up was, you see people chasing shadows leaving the meat of the matter.

Most Nigerian youth of recent times will always chase shadows. You can tell the effect on how our society has become...... this country is doomed if nothing drastic is done.

Some people in this forum will be like "That cannot be Owerri under Rochas goverment, this write up and pictures must be from past government. Hater of Okorocha and APC is at work. Okorocha and his son in-law has support of Imo people" to build more statues and substandard roads. Abeg make 2019 come fast

tesppidd:
Lol

Here's PDP playing to the gallery.
They dared the federal government to release names of the PDP looters which they obliged.

Now instead of proving them wrong they are coming out with their own list.

Nigeria is in trouble.

There is nothing to prove, PDP have accepted they looted when in power, but some of the looters are now in APC, so why is their names not included in the fg list? He who comes to equity must come with a clean hand.

HomeOfMe:
Give Lagos the federal capital,that's all. Lagos deserves to be the federal capital which was taken away by IBB.

No what about starting a new capital in Rivers or AkwaCross. what has federal government invested in SS to decongest Lagos? Many other states through their reps will not support this because they will see it as disincentive to investment in their area. They believe Lagos has enough to sustain growth.

muykem:
The governor is right on this.

You will also agree that the oil producing states should have been accorded special status from the early days of oil production in Nigeria. Is there any state in the SS that have received national investment like Lagos and Abuja?

Both parties are evil and same, who are the so called APC member? are they not majorly the cross carpeters? Let them get washing their dirty linens in the public. It is good for the masses to know. He who come to equity must come with a clean hand. If APC cannot not be wholistic in all the corruption cases and not only the NSA ATM, which certainly should include the like of Amaechi, then they better keep the list to themselves.

I remember very well in 1983 when I saw the vehicle in Onikan national museum, since then I never cared going there again. MM was part of the set of people who has put us into this dysfunctional state. He can't be my hero.

This government is a fraud, everything they do and everyone in it is corrupt. But it baffles me why some people out of political sentiment will never see anything bad about this government. All we get every day is complains and references to the past government. Thank you madam for speaking up.

nairavsdollars:
Igbos are their worst enemies

You mean the Igbo Governors and political Leaders are the enemies abi?

Tonymegabush1:
This country is divided and rooted deep in tribalism

And this present government helped to divide us further. One will have expected that after the elections, concerted effort will have been taken to unify us better by words and action. But what did we get till date. When they leave power tomorrow Lai or Adeshina will blame it on certain misery powers in Aso Rock.

doctokwus:
I understand while some people cheekily say we need to be recolonised by the whites.
As far back as 1960,see how beautiful that place still was,with no sack of refuse nearby.
But in the first picture of 2018,despite the minimal improvement,which is even mainly due to higher camera quality,there are clearly seen 3bags of refuse by the same square!

Welcome to Nigeria of one step forward and two steps backward.
