pakirisuitesphc: This is a picture of pastor Kumuyi coming down from luxurious limousine, there is nothing wrong if you have worked for God genuinely like Baba Kumuyi, but some of his members with their doctrine will condemn this as affluence and worldliness. Looking good is not a sin.
Make una scatter ooo. This government will soon send the military to come open fire. That’s always their solution to people agitating for better life and accountability.
presidency: HIGHLIGHTS: President Muhammadu Buhari #UNGA76 Address, Friday September 24, 2021:
Opening:
The President congratulates UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres on his re-election and thanks him for re-appointing Nigeria’s Ms. Amina Mohammed as Deputy Secretary General.
On Covid:
PMB now speaking about Nigeria’s Covid Response (this year’s UNGA theme is “Building resilience through hope - to recover from COVID-19, rebuild sustainably, respond to the needs of the planet, respect the rights of the people, and revitalise the United Nations).
President Buhari says Nigeria has gone from only four Covid-19 testing laboratories at the start of the pandemic, to more than 140 labs today, and built isolation centres and emergency hospital wards in record time all over the country.
Nigeria has also trained more than 40,000 health care workers on Infection Prevention and Control, and established 16 infectious disease treatment centres across the country.
“I would like to reiterate my call for a fairer and more equitable distribution of vaccines to all countries so that, together, we can fight and contain the pandemic… It is imperative to underscore that no one is safe until everyone is safe.” — President Buhari
“At the heart of Nigeria’s post-COVID-19 response is the Economic Sustainability Plan, which has a major component, called the Agriculture for Food and Jobs Programme where we seek to leverage suitable technologies to build a resilient food system for the country.” — President Buhari
On Small Arms and Light Weapons:
“Nigeria remains deeply concerned over the illicit trade, transfer, and circulation of small arms and light weapons. Their excessive accumulation and uncontrolled spread in many regions of the world are having devastating humanitarian and socio-economic consequences, especially on the continent of Africa.” — President Muhammadu Buhari
On Nuclear Disarmament:
The President assures that Nigeria will take active part in the forthcoming Review Conference of the Nuclear Prohibition Treaty + First Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, scheduled to take place in Q1 2022.
On Terrorism:
“Boko Haram terrorists group, though fragmented by internal strife and weakened by our defence forces, is still active and preying on soft targets. Nigeria will continue to work closely with UN Counter-Terrorism bodies and entities with a view to bringing this scourge to an end.” — President Muhammadu Buhari
“Nigeria has spared no effort in addressing the challenges of terrorism posed by the activities of Boko Haram in North-East Nigeria and the Lake Chad region, as well as banditry in the North-West and North-Central Nigeria. The Nigerian Security Forces have recorded considerable success in the fight against terrorism. As a result of the renewed vigour of our military, many terrorist fighters are voluntarily surrendering to our security forces.” President Buhari
On Climate Change:
The President assures that Nigeria is continuing its transition to a low-carbon economy, consistent with achieving the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals.
“We intend to build a climate-resilient economy that effectively aligns with the SDGs and that has great potentials to unlocking the full opportunities in different sectors of the economy, while protecting the resources for present and future generations.” — President Buhari
On Trade:
“Fair and equitable trade would eventually eliminate the need for aid. My country and indeed all African countries do not intend to stay indefinitely looking for aid. All we need is a fair and equitable system of international trade.” — President Muhammadu Buhari
On Debt:
“There is an urgent need to consider expansion and extension of the Debt Service Suspension Initiative to include all Developing, Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States facing fiscal and liquidity challenges. In addition, a review of the eligibility criteria for debt suspension, including outright cancellation, is needed for countries facing the most severe challenges.” — President Muhammadu Buhari
On UN Security Council Reform:
“No reform of the United Nations system is more urgent than that of the Security Council. Stakeholders around the world are asking how such power could be concentrated, with scant representation. The intergovernmental negotiations have taken too long, some 15 years. We must avoid going in cycles… It is unreasonable to expect unanimity in this matter. The issue, indeed, is about justice, not unanimity...” — President Buhari
On the Middle East:
“Nigeria encourages Israel and Palestine to re-engage in dialogue based on relevant UN resolutions and Initiatives. The two-state solution has the support of the international community and is widely acknowledged as the path to lasting peace.” — President Buhari
On Chancellor Angela Merkel:
“Let me close my statement by paying special tribute to a great and humane internationalist, and an exemplary practitioner of multilateral cooperation. I am speaking of Chancellor Angela Merkel of the Federal Republic of Germany. As she exits the stage, we wish her well.”
On Nigeria and the United Nations:
“Nigeria re-affirms its faith in the United Nations and is further resolved to continue to work with all Member-States for peace and security, development and the protection of human rights.”
— Presidency Office of Digital Engagement (PODE)

Absolute trash. Did he comprehend the contents of that speech or he was just there to read it? Listen to him talk about small arms proliferation even when he is the purveyor of it. Talking about Bokoharam which he is the chief sponsor and therefore not ready to deal with them forcefully. He has refused to brand them as terrorists after killing members of the military, innocent men, women and children. Spits!
Useless government. Dem think US is same as Nigeria where people are denied the freedom to express themselves. The idiotic government officials should have been arrested for infringing on people’s rights to assembly and self expression.
Another Avenue for choplation. Very wicked and funny set of people. The youths that you keep killing, can’t give jobs to and really have never cared for.
Dagger111: See the big snake my boys killed in frontline 2 days ago. Wanted to post it on Tuesday but i was so busy with conference here and there.
Even with all the huge military budgets year after year, they can’t provide military boots to the soldiers. It shall never be well with Burantashi Buratai.
vedaxcool: But GEJ paid for the bridge? A bridge he couldn't build in high oil prices and "best" economy. Lol hateful ipob terrorists are just PDP slaves trying to restore their looting kingdom. This bridge was promised for 16 years.
51 trillion naira could not build the bridge.
Have brains for once. Something serious is being discussed but you must turn it into politics and IPOB. Abi IPOB chop ya mama?
Sleekfingers: Shebi, most nigerians mumu never do....buhari is there to reset most nigerian brains with hunger, nepotism and division.....by the time buhari finish dealing with nigerians.....if dem born dem well make dem vote for another idiot like Buhari in 2023.......
Omonigho1976: for his information it was not the north that removed Jonathan cause they tried twice and failed. It was when Tinubu brought the southwest in alliance that they were able to get power, so I laugh anytime I hear these northern illiterates beat their chest that they have the numbers.
Gbamm! But I hope lessons have been learned by some.
MrSamsung: The most foolish thing for a Southerner president to do is not replicating PMB's nepotism x10 so that any Notherner that would ever become president again would know that they are consequences to the things you do.
When PMB was doing it many of them did not vehemently opposed it and backtrack thier support but onseeing that the next Southern president has the same moral rights to replicate what PMB did, they are now saying this. Alas they are nepostic that they are even building a naval base in the desert.
"You don’t play cool with fire and your enemies. They must be mutual respect, else you lose both your respect and existence".
Southern politicians are useless, weak and stupid like Jonathan who did more for the North so that he will be liked by them. Our Southern politicians don’t have the balls to repay them with same treatment. Imagine someone like Tinubu, Osinbajo, Rochas, Uzodinma or Umahi doing as you suggested. Never!
meolaniyi: This People think they have sense. They want to bring him back to complete 4yrs and return back to the North
But he is not clever enough to realize the game about to be played against him and the South. If he takes the bait, as I am sure he likely will if offered , they will surround him with some evil Northerners like El-Rufai who will frustrate him all the way through to make him look worse than his first coming.
Telekinetic: I’m waiting for the Buhari Media Cows and the Online Fulani Terrorists to comment
Most of them will read this and pretend they did not see the article. If it’s about Igbo matter you will see all of them out in full force with the full assistance of few misguided South Westerners.
And as you can see, this article is not considered important or front page material by the so-called moderators. But Bobrisky and Toto Dike is more newsworthy to them.
The Northern Elders Forum has said that it regretted that it got rid of then President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 elections to vote in the incumbent, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
The group expressed disappointment that Buhari has let down millions of Nigerians including members of the All Progressives Congress who trusted in his leadership prior to the poll six years ago.
NEF, therefore, said that the next President of Nigeria should be one who would act in the “opposite direction” of Buhari, who hails from Katsina, North-West Nigeria.
NEF Director of Publicity and Advocacy, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, spoke on Tuesday when he featured on Arise TV’s ‘The Morning Show’ breakfast programme monitored by The PUNCH.
He said, “Is there any Nigerian who is not disappointed in President Buhari including diehard APC people? Is there anybody who would not tell you he wished President Buhari had done much better?
“We raised huge expectations, we told people, ‘Get rid of Jonathan, put Buhari there, he would fix corruption, he would fix insecurity, he would fix the economy’ (but) look at where we are now.
“How can anybody say they are happy with the record of President Buhari, even the people very close to him would tell you that they wished he could have done much better and he could have done much better and he hasn’t.”
Next president should act in opposite direction of Buhari’
The group’s spokesman said Nigeria needs a President who would act in the “opposite direction” of Buhari in terms of economic policies, security, amongst others.
“So, what we need to do now is to get ready to elect another President who would go in the opposite direction, a President who has a vision and a clear idea of what governance involves rather than just being a President. So, I am disappointed and that is why today, I am actively involved in trying to see that a new leader emerges in getting Nigerians a new lease of life,” Baba-Ahmed noted.
The PUNCH had reported that the group which was actively involved in the emergence of Buhari said that the President has failed in the two critical areas of security and economy and as such has “nothing new to offer” Nigerians. NEF had called for the resignation of Buhari in December 2020.
Goodluck Jonathan: Ex-Gov, ex-VP, ex-President
Jonathan, 63, –of the Peoples Democratic Party, was Nigeria’s Vice-President between 2007 and 2010. The former Bayelsa State governor assumed position as the President in 2010 after the death of then President Umaru Yar’adua, a two-term governor of Katsina State.
Jonathan subsequently contested the 2011 presidential election and won but lost his reelection in 2015 to Buhari, a former military head of state between 1983 and 1985.
Though out of Aso Rock, Jonathan has been seen working closely with the incumbent in his role as Special Envoy of the Economic Community of West African States.
With the 2023 elections fast approaching and the clamour for power shift to the South, Jonathan, who has the legal right to one more term as Nigeria’s President as the constitution permits all eligible Nigerians to be in office for two terms of eight years, has been receiving entreaties from the APC.
lalasticlala: As shared by Odinala Ndi IGBO @enyinnayaibeka:
"This is the Federal road connecting Abia state and Akwa Ibom state. The Umuahia/lkwuano-lkot Ekpene road. A very important connect link in the socioeconomic life of the peoples of the two states. The local government is called Ikwuano LGA located at Isiala Oboro #What a shame!"
Ehen! I no talk am before? 2023 will be like 2015. A new coalition will emerge to defeat APC and PDP. They are both useless - especially A Party of Crooks (APC).
Depressed101: they should expose the sponsors themselves since they know them and stop playing with the intelligence of Nigerians
And the current government will be doing what then? Even UAE is doing a job this government is suppose to be doing. Doesn’t that tell the whole world that this government is complicit and sympathetic to Bokoharam?
