nagoma: Are any of these deportees from ogun state. I hear they don't allow Fulani into ogun state. Or is it just Nairaland hate promotion posts?

My brother their is no hate here. Lets face the truth.

Yeah Lagos started now Ogun and I think it is necessary to maintain peace if the herders don't abide by the law of the land.

nifemi01: Not south east roads alone, most federal roads.

very correct.

oturugo: Imbe cile, you are acting like this because he has exposed all your fallacies. Abagworo's mother is from Rivers state. He grew up in Rivers state and currently works in Rivers state. what a loser you are, bastardh.

Oturugo aka Ngodigha aka Andre Uweh why do you keep changing IDs like phone line You dey craze for head ?

Ola one: Stranger, your friends are many in here oo.

lol fstranger chai !!!!

terrible in Iwaya

PointB: I am still waiting for her to as 'thank' me for 'exposing' Gbawe. But then, my job is a thankless task. The good thing is that Desola is free. And Katsumoto is not buying the Tinubu/ACN saintly bullcrap.

PointB it was never about you. An average man on the streets of Lagos should know that Tinubu is a fraud. The down fall of ACN is upto Tinubu. Even before he started campaigning against tinubu my stance has always been cleared

dayokanu: What about Igbos who claim they are 60m in a country of 150m

Gbawe the way you support Tinubu knowing clearly how corrupt and two mouthed he is, it is amazing

fagamite: Too late though. I wish there were more people as thoughtful as moi.


Just say it: I am better than a psychic!

;DFstranger I have always seen it. I hope likes of seant02, demdem etc too would wake up

CHESSBOARD: Alj Harem, where have u been, Now they killed ur boss u don surface

who is my boss ? it is clear the FG are incompetent. The FG is a joke.

am glad desola has opened her eyes Tinubu is not better than OBJ

By JOSEPH ERUNKE
ABUJA—The Federal Government, yesterday, rebuffed criticisms against the introduction of N5,000 note in the country, insisting that there was no going back on the decision.

Similarly, the government insisted that, notwithstanding fresh facts that have been unearthed by the Vanguard to prove that Bakassi peninsula belongs to Nigeria, and which were concealed during trial, it will not appeal the 2002 verdict of the International Court of Justice which ceded the oil-rich peninsula to Cameroon.

Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, conveyed government’s position on the issues, Tuesday night in Abuja, while speaking as a guest of People’s Forum, a programme organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ.

His position was in apparent response to the resolutions of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the Nigeria Bar Association which had variously urged the Federal Government not only to appeal the ICJ judgment but also halt the planned restructuring of the country’s currencies by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.

Maku also said those who have so far commented on the issues at different fora, were expressing their views, noting that expression of views was the fundamental right of every citizen in the country.



He said the resolutions of the two chambers of the National Assembly on the issues, asking the Federal Government not only to appeal the ICJ judgment on Bakassi but also direct the CBN to stop its proposed structuring of the country’s currencies, were not binding. He argued that only the law made by the National Assembly was binding on both the government and its citizens just as he said that the apex bank, being independent, should be allowed free hands to do its work like others in the developed world.

“A resolution by the National Assembly is not an Act. The National Assembly makes laws but the laws are different from resolutions. While the laws made by the National Assembly are binding on the government, including citizens, the same is not with resolutions. Resolutions are not binding on government as they are just positions of the legislators. The government can say yes, we have seen your position but this way is better”, he said.

On the Bakassi peninsula, the minister said shortly after the ICJ verdict, the Federal Government had since signed agreement with Cameroon not only to concede the Bakassi to it in accordance with the ICJ verdict but assist in resettling, as well as give protection to indigenes of the area who wish to remain in Nigeria.

“It is surprising that this issue is coming up again, this case was in the International Court of Justice for long and after years of legal arguments by both Nigeria and Cameroon, a judgment was passed in favour of Cameroon, and Nigeria, in respect to the ICJ judgment, came out and signed an agreement that it had honoured the judgment. Nigeria and Cameroon are neighbours and have a good standing relationship. The two countries have been living together and will continue to live together for ever. They have been peaceful with each other for long. It is not at this time that they should begin to have problem over issues that should have been amicably resolved. So, I think Nigeria’s position is still in conformity with the outcome of the International Court of Justice”, he said.

The minister charged people to try to harp on issues that would promote peace and harmonious co-existence instead of those that tend to cause unnecessary tension, saying what Africa needed for rapid growth and unity was peace among member countries. “Between Nigeria and Cameroon, there are several communities which members are Cameroon and which members are Nigerians; so I believe we have a duty to promote peace among ourselves, between the two countries”, he added.

Speaking on the planned restructuring of the currencies, the Information Minister said the CBN, which is responsible for the planned action should not be crucified as, according to him, its head, Mr Sanusi Lamido Sanusi had not misled the country in any form.

He said the CBN boss meant well for the country, citing the action he took few months after mounting the saddle, which, he noted, had reformed the banking sector today and built customers’ confidence as well as provide efficient service delivery in the banks.

“I think the way the Central Bank of Nigeria has been able to manage our economy without borrowing, is quite commendable and should be appreciated”, he insisted.

The minister said no action of the apex bank as regards currency restructuring in Nigeria’s history had come without criticisms, saying at the end of the day, the same people who had stood against it would see reason and begin to applaud the development. “When the N20 note, N500 note and N1000 note were introduced, people said they were not good for our economy but after the whole thing, they began to see reasons”, he noted.

He said the Economic Management Team endorsed the restructuring bid after the CBN boss was able to convince the team with his explanations on what the country stands to gain in carrying out the action, and urged every other citizen to do same.

“I think we should allow the Central Bank of Nigeria to provide leadership, give us what they are to do, it is not a matter of opinion poll but it is a matter that the experts know what they are doing. See the way he (Sanusi) took us through the period of financial meltdown, we were able to survive the situation without borrowing. The Central Bank has exuded a lot of confidence that we should give them support”, he charged.

However, there were insinuations that President Goodluck Jonathan may agree to reverse his administration’s plan to introduce the 5,000 naira note. The President was said to have met with the leadership of the National Assembly hours after the stormy sessions of the Assembly on Tuesday and assured that any “approval given in this regard can be reversed since it is the wish of the people”. It is unclear whether the president has issued a directive to that effect.

good one Jonathan, I still believe in you. then only problem is that you are not a man of your words

Onlytruth: You disappeared for a long time. Wetin happen na?

We would need you to campaign for Nnaji because you are a militant campaigner!
You have only ONE vote, but you can get 3000 votes. That is one of our strategies.

been busy my brother good to know onlytruth is fine.

Militant ke I am not like Beaf that is a paid professional. If I see potential in someone I would campaign for the person providing reasons and counter-reasons. For example I know Nnaji is not bad but so is likes of fashola and co so as time draws nearer water would find its level. The only problem is likes of you that want Igbo president rather than a good president.

Onlytruth: Would you vote for a Barth Nnaji?

That is the caliber of men we shall parade.

dont mind voting for him, yeah i can campaign and vote for him.

btw long time my brother onlytruth

does not matter so long as he does the right thing then he has my vote. Whether Igbo or fulani I guess Nigerians could careless right now. We just want a nigerian president. thats all

ngodigha aka andre Uweh aka Oturugo why ?

killayut: Oloshi , mu bien fin . Oya what did I say ? Interpret it. ( Clue ) It is Ijaw I typed. You see that We Ijaw also call you Igbos Oloshi. It makes Yorubas our brothers.

we need to form a new word for them. the words on the streets now is Igbo

Oloshi is too much

[quote author=free_soul]but ijaws are cowards too. that is their bond of brotherhood
useless ogogoro heads make good partners to oil soup heads aka Yoruba[/quote] proud Yoruba nigerian

oturugo aka Andre and co quit ventilating on who is Igbo or not. Once you have made your point leave haba 65 pages on who is igbo and who is not.


If you bare Uche Emeka Nneka etc go to anypart of the world and say you are not Igbo, you would be laughed at.

Ngodigha1: Homo, why are you wasting your time in this thread. You are neither Igbo or Ijaw, so what is your biz. If you are that intelligent to post here you would have written a rebuttal to Killanut's claim of Lagos for the Ijaws and 5 hundred thousand in Ondo state.
Get back to your rat hole.

Andre Andre, Long time no see. How is madam na and her my niece and nephews ?

Why are you angry at me ?

Go back to wherever you came from.[/quote]Haba My blood brother why do you disown me each time I speak the truth . gwa onye obuna ezi okwu.

You cannot disown me you mad man . We are brothers whether you like it or not. Chikena

Oh Ngodigha1 has liked your post I am expecting more likes from other Andre Moniker

[quote author=One_Naira]GO BACK TO WHATEVER VILLAGE YOU WERE HIDING IN. NOONE HAVE TIME FOR YOUR BS IGNORANCE ON THIS THREAD.

JUST GO BACK TO WHEREEVER IT IS YOU'VE BEEN HIDDEN OUT AND TAKE YOUR STUPIDITY WITH YOU.[/quote] LMAO Oh i miss NL

One Naira my brother, you go just have hypertension and die ontop nothing

agbotaen: shut your dirty igboic mouth up.igbo ethnic or any other ethnic group was founded as a result of british influence.and one thing an ika person does not want to be is igbo or igbon.okenyen igbo ni,i wu oseka le ozuor,emeni ushin ro,nte ebon enyin e gi kwaese.makeni onu wu igbon.get an ika person to translate this message for you and that goes for those of your kind.this is owa dialect of ika.
ika is an ancient culture and we are proud of it.and it is definitely not igbo culture .

my brother the moniker Ngodigha1 is the same as Andre Uweh on Nairaland. He is an iddeiot from Imo or anambra state .

I was telling the same iddeiot that Agbor is not Igbo he was arguing. I showed my agbor friend and he laughed and shock his head at the rubbish Ngodigha1 writes on Nairaland.

I find this discussion very funny and have opened this bigots to the REAL WORLD. The only realists on Nairaland had always been ChineyeN and Abagworo but I dont know what happened to Abagworo. All of a sudden he started living in "Onlytruth and Ezeuche's" world of fantasies.

First of all Ijaws are a separate ethnic group. Forget this brother rubbish you Igbos throw around so as to expand your lands. They are totally separate from Igbos, Yoruba and any other ethnic group.

Secondly, I think Ijaw Citizen accessions are very correct. Killayut is just twisting history a bit cuz I have met some PH boys and I am Awori myself from a royal household but who would blame them they learnt how to do it thanks to Igbos as well. BTW Killayut it is good you are teaching me my history, I never knew I was Ijaw andd I thank you for letting me know, BUT I MUST MAKE MYSELF CLEAR NOW AND THAT OF THE PEOPLE I WOULD RULE IN YEARS TO COME THAT WE ARE YORUBAS and NOT Ijaws. I am not saying this to spit anyone but the facts on ground are clear. You can confirm what I am saying by going to any Awori village. As for the words thing, my brother I totally disagree with you. If any yorubas were the ones that influenced Ijaw Language. Unlike many other ethnic groups, DIFFERENT DIALECT HAVE DIFFERENT WORDS FOR THE SAME MEANING. Words like Oloshi, Oniranu, alinishese etc all means worthless in yoruba. We do not have a particular word for any particular thing, we might have upto 20-30 yoruba words for the same thing we are describing. This is no influence as not all yoruba have one dialect. Not all yorubas were part of the first anf second generation empires. Some of our ancestors were conquered and forced to convict while others were seen as ara ita/ara orun etc (aliens). But I know this would not change your views on how you see Ijaws influence "Aworis". We have 4 major yoruba clans along the coastal regions of Nigeria the Anago/Nago which are Ogu, Aworis ( I am in this category ) then Ilajes which include mahins, then Itsekiris , Ijebus too. Again just to educate you as well, no disrespect my Ijaw brother.

Also Yorubas dont discriminate against anyone, at the end of the day everyone is trying to protect their own interest just as the Ijaws are doing. There are NO indigenous Ijaw population in Lagos, it is a fact among the clans in lagos. Now with that said killayut, it is a free world and you dont see Nigerians discrimate against another just cuz they are from certain part of the country it is a myth. At least the places I have been to.

I think its time to wake up and smell the coffee my Igbo brothers. Your best allies are the ones you hate the most.

There are still serious power outage in Yaba area. I still cannot see any improvement. Like yesterday they low current almost damaged some of my appliances.

Na wa for ppl oh

Ngodigha1: Piggy, your cowardice has no limits. You only surface when Igbo igbo or ndigbo is mentioned. Why are you cowards always afraid of the yorubas. Sbeezy, Dayo, A.Harem are all yorubas and none of you cowards have bothered to write a rebbuttal to their claims. You fools are lucky yorubas are not your neigbours in the east or else they would have chased you fools out of the creeks and into the atlantic ocean. Fools.

can you shut it ? When have yorubas ever chased anyone ? Have you forgotten we yorubas are cowards according to silly Igbo flat heads like yourself so please continue because it always better to be a wise coward than a chest beating Igbo like yourself.

btw longest time Andre

alamkah: Always not in a hurry 2 comment on critical issues like dis. Dis same man save nigeria from total collaPse of some of our banks years back. Criticism trailed d proposed action then. He went on an 2day d man was. Vindicated. I don't want 2 join d majority of those callin 4 sanusi head. Its too early. Time shall tell!

bro that was a different issue. I WAS a die hard Sanusi fan but trust me this particcular policy got to be the dumbest he has ever made. Quote me anyday. It is so irrational there is no logic behind it. None of us need to be an economist PHD holder to see a common tread among countries with higher denominations and those with lower.

may we they watch nairaland is very interesting
