Iys not the journalists fault , the kids should have been taken to an outer parameter and fed properly if the authorities were better positioned , it shows the airport isn't the best of interest to the ordinary mans child , a large educational institution would have profited them better with cheap affordable education

Omo na true o. I have never seen an igbo begga, yoruba people own na co-operate begging like those women at events or social functions, they even give you flowers to put im your clothes sef. Na hausa pple gan gan dey do this pass. But the fact that igbo children or pple can't be found on the road side begging says a lot. Poverty in the north is too much.

Is not an apc matter. Northerners have always been poor and always begging even with the fact tgat most powerful positions in nigeria is occupied by northerners. There is something inherently wrong, maybe cultural or religious beliefs. Like why you go born 15 children marry 5 wives and you earn less than 300k monthly. Their OT needs reset.

Sadly, this is fake news and a fabricated story.

One Obi supporter concocted a story about a sacked journalist with no source, no name of the journalist or the agency they work for, just a baseless tweet with no substance, but as usual, the gullible people are running all over the place with the rubbish fake story.

Good to see the kids eating food regardless of how they get the food, the fact remains that a thoughtful person gave the kids food to eat.

I don't even know how kids eating or offering kids food to eat is a bad thing.

The sad habit and culture of badmouthing and criticizing any and everything is really sicking and getting out of control.

Not sure why the Journalist was suspended. He was merely reporting an event...
As for the kids, if they are not orphan? Where are the parents? Why are parents failing in their responsibilities.. You born pikin, you must be prepared to take care of their welfare and needs unless you are impaired by disability and pooe health... Too many fathers and mothers having children for self gratification but they do not care and are emotonally absent... These persons should be held accountable and penalised.

The INEC and the National Assembly (NASS) should know this:
“If the Nigerian Laws can allow Voters to download and login to a Secured ‘ONE-USER-PER-DEVICE’ Type of Voting Software or App, where ONLY ONE voter can login and synchronise his details on one device alone before the election day, and also vote ONLY on that same device he had already earlier logged-in before the election day,
then Nigeria can achieve a perfect REMOTE Electronic-Voting Option for Voters In Diaspora.”
Inec and Tinubu will still find a way to cheat the system.

We now know that the INEC is the main Villain.

The new amendments to the Electoral Act will remove lots of powers of decision on the most-important things from the INEC.


Meanwhile, the cheating they did with the BVAS/IREV is still chasing them around..

A “political” airport that will end up be grossly underutilized…smh undecided

The only SE state classified as “educationally disadvantaged” instead PRIORITIZED the use of a reported N36 billion to build an airport when Enugu Airport (itself underutilized btw) is EASIER to reach than MMA Lagos Airport is from several parts of Lagos. Imagine how many primary and secondary schools (which is essentially basic education), and perhaps even vocational schools, could have been built and/or renovated with N36 billion.

One thing is very clear at the moment..

Localized voting is almost equal to disenfranchising a lot of us.

As for the Churning out a lot of FAKE votes using IT-experts, that one can be very much controlled when proper VOTER-AUTHENTICATION MEASURES are incorporated into the Voting-Software or Voting-App..

The Voter-Authentication measures inside the BVAS exposed a lot of Fake Votes.
That's also the same way it would expose lots of fake Computer-Generated Votes that wete entered through the Remote Voting System.


The only genuine problem here is that INEC might register lots of Non-Nigerians into the INEC’s Register...
Which they had been doing all these while.
And there had not been a good solution to that problem yet,, other than trusting on the INEC to do the correct thing by themselves, which I now totally doubt they can do.

Bro it seems you're not getting me.
If we decide to do diaspora voting then note that it won't be about electronic voting alone. Nigerians in western countries are exposed and can use the electronic means for voting, but what about Nigerians in poorer country where many might not have access to internet? Do you think it will be fair if they are excluded because we decide to do electronic voting online (note this is how the ruling party will argue this case, then later they will introduce other voting means for those here here).

Now this is where the problem starts, what's the entire population of Nigerians in the UK, US, Canada, Australia and other advance country? Are they up to 5M? note that this is the population you're relying on based on they are exposed and might favor your candidate.
Now compare them to the population of Nigerians in Sudan(that already has 5M o 😭), Niger, Chad,Mali, Benin Republic, Togo and bordering countries, these are diaspora too.
This will definitely be adding up to more than 20M individuals ( now what's even the total voting population within Nigeria self, 90M and then this is about 24% of our entire country votes).
What all this goes on to show is that either legitimately or illegitimately there's no how diaspora voting will favor you, instead it will even widen the crack and give massive advantage to the ruling parties and people from the north since they can easily control this massive diaspora....
Why diaspora voting seems good on paper, let's strengthen our local voting system then we can talk about diaspora voting. If you want to vote in Nigeria then come down here to vote, you can't be abroad and determined who will be ruling people here for now.

The journalist should not have juxtaposed the hungry kids picture with the launch of The Airport.

Each State needs a functioning Airport , PERIOD!

Absolute nonsense! Kobe City, with a GDP of over $100BN, has only one airport of her own, but you say states with a GDP of less than $1BN should have airports of their own?

All of Africa is run from Europe, the only reason that airport was built is cause it serves a particular need for the Europeans that run Nigeria, And if you and or your children think anything about Nigeria is cause of you, you and or your children are dreaming.

As one European Scientist who is among the scholars the rulers of the world consult for advice put it, dont be fooled into thinking we are going to allow everybody in the world to achieve European standard of living, and his exact words were "that will be like a pack of locusts descending on the earth "

If the Europeans have thier way those kids are more likely to get the poison jab well before any state support for normal life.
But they need the infrastructure, not the people.

The other you blamed Europeans for Nigeria's inability to have constant electricity but said the same Europeans allowed other African countries to have constant light. Now, you accuse Europeans wey get issues in Ukraine for being behind the construction of a nonsensical airport in an impoverished state like Ebonyi. You don't blame the governor or the House of Assembly members, but Europeans? Honestly, you conspiracy theorists accord more influence than usual to Europeans who cannot point Ebonyi on the map of Nigeria.

TheMensch:
Let's look at it from this perspective:

Imagine you are the journalist.
You saw children eating from crumbs,
You took out your camera,
You snapped the poor children,
You posted it on internet, and then turned out to blame the "government" for what exactly?
Can't you take responsibility for once in your life?
Imagine if you dipped your hands in your pocket and brought out at least #5000 (which is very small to you) and gave those children to eat without making noise,, won't it be more humane than publicising the faces of those poor children?
And everybody here is even blaming Umahi that he should not have built an airport...God have mercy. See the kind of people I'm sharing the country with and we expect to have any kind of development...

E WE STARTED THINKING OF WHAT WE CAN DO FOR NIGERIA INDIVIDUALLY!!!
That journalist should be sued for defamation of minors and be made to pay heavily to their families.

The journalist who took a picture of the child waiting to be eaten by vultures had a flight to catch. He later committed suicide. And so what? How does that concern Enonyi, one of Nigeria's poorest and most primitive states, building an airport? Is that the kind of mumbo-jumbo research you conduct? So, to you, building an airport in Ebonyi when Enugu, Imo and Anambra are close by is what will bring development to Ebonyi?

That's why I'm not moved any time those data boys come online to hype politicians for building flyovers when human capital development is very low e. g Akwa Ibom state under Governor Udom administration.
