Omoh! Come see APC strategy but their plans will not work!

Why? He shouldn’t have fixed the road?

What are president’s elected to do my brother?

Looking Decent and dignified. Growing older with grace.

In another 4 week’s time you will be 73 years old. You are looking so well preserved and beautiful, thanks be to almighty God.

Thank you for the National Hospital Abuja. It was your idea and your project, you raised funds and made sure it happened with your active supervision. All those who came later, both the Presidents and their wives did nothing for Health or for anything. Some built hotels and big buildings in Yenagoa, in Lagos and in Abuja. We still have the only national hospital in the capital city. Thank you Ma.

How did you come to the conclusion that Federal government built the market? Must everything be about tribalism with you guys?

The construction of this market started about 25 years ago by one of the Military Governors of Nassarawa State. I am sure it is still not finished. The market is at Maraba and was almost an abandoned project.

adekanmbi1986:
They traveled from Benue to Ogun.

Benue breeds criminals that are branded as Fulani herdsmen by the southern Nigeria media who have Intense pathological hatred towards fulanis and their related kinsmen. That is the fact.

benedictnsi:
Same way Buhari can never be a good leader if you ask me

But he is the only one working against you thieves.

Leadership for thieves is not easy if you are not a thief yourself.

Sai Buhari!

IPOBS have always hated democracy. Remember the ethnic cleansing of nigeria leadership.by the murderous IPOBS lead by ifeajuna and Nzeagwu. That was the first and bloodiest attack on the country's leadersip. We are still suffering from it and this old man Wabuze os calling on his tribesmen to repeat it.

Biafrans and their empty threats.

The python is still around on standby.
Play the music and it will surely dance.

escodotman:
Sagay will continue to always spew out rubbish and trash in order to justify his pay cheque to his pay masters in Aso villa while he continues to be a disgrace to his legal profession. It is only in Nigeria government will choose court judgements which favour them to obey and disregard others which do not favour them.

You and your masters are desperate to reverse the progress made in fighting corruption. Magu will stay as acting chairman and fight you the icons of corruption in the senate. We are not returning to the times when stealing was not corruption.

Paperwhite:
Why will it be correct since foolanis are his bloody kinsmen .And people are expecting Buhari's government protection in this self-inflicted carnage? To your tents Oh Nigerians.

Ignorant people like you are increasing hatred amongst the population.

It is the job of the security forces to bring criminals to face justice and a population of 65 million cannot be designated as as criminals by an anonymous evil person like you.

You must be happy That the Rwanda you are planning for Nigeria is starting. 7 Travellers we’re fished out from a commercial vehicle and roasted in broad day light because they are Hausa/ Fulani. Your plans are to see ethnic cleansing especially in the north.

Snow02:
the person raising the alarm wan spoil Buhari and his brothers market abi??

The person raising the alarm is the person planning the attack.

It is part of the plan to blame the invisible imaginary Fulani Herdsmen before the evil ones launch their mischievous murderous attacks.

Homers123:
The look on the face of that man in the Blue suit sha.

When you are the only man in a crowd of 100 women …sorry for Magu

[quote author=jrusky post=64697764]I agreed with everyone in this picture but its only Magun or Mangan i disagree with. What is he doing their, is it to cook up more fake billions stolen by MADUEKE isn't₩[/quote

With Magun you can catch them in the act. To have Magu there is sensible thing to. Remember that magun works best in the SW.]

Homers123:
The look on the face of that man in the Blue suit sha.

I hope you are clean

What's wrong with these Biafrans?

hammer6F:
HAD GEJ BEEN ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITH THAT SORT OF INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT.

AS OF TODAY, THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA WILL CATEGORISE NIGERIA AS AN EMERGING SUPER POWER.

In your wildest dream.

The world knows GEJ as " The ineffectual buffoon".

Mary Slessor didn’t finish her work in those parts. They are as they were in 1880.

victorazy:
If she can speak English fluently.

f

Perhaps more fluent than you.

These criminals have weapons with.them, they killed a bus driver. They didnt have cows with them.But instead of calling them criminals or robbers or murderers you are calling them herdsmen. And you believe this is the right way to establish justice in the land?

Nonaira1:
Secondly, your obasanjo president snitched loudly on the act of your niggerian government regarding igbo.

Let me post it for your viewing pleasure

"My friends who are not from the East of Nigeria where Igbos come from often ask me why there is so much anger in the East and among Igbos. Some wonder why, despite the famed Igbo” wealth’ and enterprise all over Nigeria, the people still complain that Nigeria is unfair to them. Some insinuate that the anger comes from the loss of the 2015 election by Jonathan who the Igbos heavily backed.

And why is it that the current generation of Igbos are so angry as to contemplate carrying arms against the country? With lots are following Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB with his secessionist message. Those not following may despise his antics and rhetoric but are sympathetic to his underlying message? And what is that message? That Igbos don’t feel wanted in Nigeria. That decades of official marginalization and discrimination should be stopped or they would be ready to take their chances in a new nation.

First, for those who think this is all about Jonathan and Buhari. It is not. Igbos were disappointed that Jonathan did not win. But those whose candidates lose elections lick their wounds. It is allowed. It happens when your candidate loses election. Why did the Igbos invest so much emotions in Jonathan, a non-Igbo Ijaw? It was more because of the fear of their experience in the past 50 years. Nigeria has placed an embargo on any Igbo man becoming Nigerian president. Jonathan was the next best thing. Other parts of Nigeria have supported their sons to the presidency. Some have bombed Nigeria into submission to get their son to Aso Rock. Igbos have little capacity to blackmail Nigeria to the presidency. They chose Jonathan as their “Igbo” . But that’s not to say that they are angry enough because he lost to contemplate going to war on his behalf. Jonathan was not really the model of a President you would go to war for. And his Ijaw people have accepted his loss. So?

Igbo anger has been building up in Nigeria since I was a kid in the 70s. As kids, we made choices in our school years based on the narrative of the Igbo place in Nigeria. We knew of the glass ceiling against Igbos before we were out of puberty. After the civil war, despite the “No winner, no vanquished” program, Nigeria placed glass ceilings and no-go areas for Igbos. The war reconstruction program was observed more in the breach. There was the “abandoned” property program that was introduced to drive a wedge between components of the former South-East Nigeria. While the country was too embarrassed to put the discrimination program down in an official gazette, it was there for anyone who cared to look. It was evident in the Igbo police officer who stayed in one position while less qualifies juniors progressed to become his bosses. It was evident when no Igbo qualified to become the Inspector General of Police, or leader any division in the armed forces. It was there when ‘ sensitive” or ‘lucrative “ positions were shared in Nigeria and Igbos were conspicuously absent. It was there when Igbos were only fit enough to be made Minister of Information until Obasanjo came to power. And even recently, it was there when Buhari appointed 47 people to man the critical roles in his government and no one from the South east was there. Any time there is a federal appointment in Nigeria, its usually the east that shouts. It was there from Buhari first term to his second term and anyone in-between.

The Igbo elite called it marginalization. Other Nigerians countered by saying no part of Nigeria was getting enough. Marginalization was universal. But they forgot something. The Igbo cry of marginalization was official policy. It was expected. It was programmed. And occasionally, key government officials let it slip that Igbos should not complain. After all, they fought a war with Nigeria. Talk about No Victor, No Vanquished. There was a Victor alright. And they were reminded of that at every turn. Every appointment. Every national project. Nigeria was only pretending. Igbos were licking their wounds and complaining and the rest of Nigeria was too busy to notice.

Go to the South-East today. Since the 70s and the oil boom. Nigeria has invested in commercial industries across the country. None has been sited in the South east. None. Refineries, Steel Plants, Cement Firms. Any Industry. The South East was systematically de-industrialized. Even when it was the best location for any industry, there was always a reason why it should not be sited there. What this means was that any Igbo man that wanted to work in a commercial federal establishment had to leave the east. Add this to the indigenization policy of the early 70s that pushed the Igbos out of private companies. It meant that international companies also avoided expansion into the south east. The Nigerian Breweries, the Dunlop and other such firms sited their plants outside the East and only set up distribution centers to sell in the region. This is one of the main reasons the exodus of Igbos from the zone accelerated after the war and continues to this day despite the hostility they face in certain parts of Nigeria. And why most became traders and commercial business men. Because access to organized work either in the government, government commercial institutions and even commercial institutions were limited.

The only industrial enterprise in the east are built by easterners; Nnewi, Aba, Onitsha. These are Igbo indigenous industrial cities.

This has been the practice since the end of the war.

In addition to this, the Federal Government has systematically made it difficult for Easterners to do commercial business even in the East. The Federal Roads in the East are some of the worst in Nigeria. The Eastern Sea ports have been made ineffective. It was a war to get the Enugu Airport upgraded to an International Airport. The former Finance Minister shed tears on the day the first International Flight landed in Enugu. Yes, Okonjo Iwealla cried! Recently, it was only the South East that was conspicuously missing in the New Railway Plan of the Federal Government. Nigeria has 6 regions. And one was missing in a national railway plan. Incidentally, Igbos who reside here are the most itinerant in the country and would benefit most from a national transport plan. Even our President changed the plan to include his village but a zone of the country was not included.

When you go to the east, despite the lack of federal presence, the presence of police all over the east tells a story. They mount road blocks and make it difficult to have commercial activity. Recently, Customs has joined. And lastly the army. It is an occupied territory. They extort money. They intimate. They recently have started killing.

Nigeria has made the east unlivable. Purposely. Carefully.

I am often in conversations where people accuse the east of being clannish. That while we are welcome in all parts of Nigeria, outsiders cannot come to the East. My question is: why would you come to the east? To do what? There is no business to do in the east. Nigeria has ensured that. Why would someone from the South West of Nigeria go to the East to invest? No one would prevent you. But it hardly makes commercial sense. Nigeria has ensured that. Those from the North are there in droves. Igbos love to celebrate with cows. And the cattlemen go there to sell their cattle. No one molests them. In my village and most villages in the East, they live unmolested. But those are the only people who can find commercial reason to be there!

So those who wonder why Igbos are angry, wonder no more. While most would not dare carry arms against Nigeria, don’t under estimate the level of disconnection and anger especially among the younger generation. Nigeria is made of nations that came together to form a country. No nation will like to be in perpetual servitude. That Nnamdi Kanu’s supporters starred down army tanks with sticks is a sign that the next generation will be ready to fight bare hands if necessary to stop Nigeria treating the Igbo nation as second-class citizens. There will be fiercer and angrier Kanus in our immediate future if Nigeria does not officially stop the “vanquished “program against the Igbos who fought the civil war. You cannot preach unity and indivisibility of the country on TV and all your actions point at discriminating against the components of the country. It is as dangerous as it is foolhardy. Let those who preach unity walk the talk and stop open discrimination of their countrymen. History has shown that you cannot decree peace. You cannot decree unity. You cannot force any group to belong to a country by force, it may work for a time. But never sustainable.

Nigeria has a lot to look forward to as a united country. It also has enough for the regions and nations that make up the country. Our diversity is a blessing. Our failure to reach our potential is caused mostly by the internal contradictions and the inability to build a fair country that can bring out the best out of her component regions. Those who shout most about loving Nigeria today are mostly those its current unfair structure favor. But Nigeria will continue being as strong as its weakest link. And the weak links are all there to see. The East is one of the weakest links. Until it stops being a weak link, Nigeria cannot truly make progress."

A huge perfect example on the hinder of your niggerians on trying to subdue igbo is the SEDC propasal by the SE leaders. Remind us again, wtf happened to it and why your shithole opposed it despire their proposal wouldn't cost any non SE region a dime?

Now I'll say this loudly for you miscreants. The second Nigeria divides and biafra is declared and igbos can control every aspect of her development, you'll see igbos LEAVE IN DROVES!!!!!! Quote me on it anytime, any fucking day. The first biafra is a HUGE HUGE perfect example. Remind us again, who invaded it to drag them back?

Cry me a river my friend. I know it will pain you. The truth always hurts. But instead of posting this inarticulate disorganized thrash why dont your request a more lettered Ipob brother to respond on your behalf? When they respond let them go beyond the 1970s down to january 1966 and they should study the federal government programs and plans before spewing rubbish like you saying that SE is not in the plan for the future railway system.

��Sometimes, we don’t need to argue, we can just let the FACTS and FIGURES do the talking.

��Compare PMB’s starts with GEJ, etc��

Kindly read this analysis below

2011-$99 billion
2012-$94 billion
2013-$84 billion
2014-$77 billion
2015-$21 billion (January-May)
*Total-$445 billion*

*Source:*
OPEC Revenue Fact Sheet and Energy Information Administration (EIA), a statistical arm of the US Department of Energy for various years; and my estimates.

*Outcomes in 5 YEARS:*
a) External reserves declined from $47 billion in 2013 to $29 billion in 2015;
b) Savings depleted from $21 billion in 2010 to $2 billion in 2015.
c) Federal Government borrowed $2 billion to pay salaries.
d) 24 States of the federation bankrupt -could not pay salaries of workers, could not repay debts and other contractual obligations.
e) accumulated arrears of workers salaries and pensions, running into billions of Naira.
f) accumulated contractors debt such that all major construction works stopped.
g) NNPC technically bankrupt.
h) Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) at its all time low. Declined to $3.1 billion in 2015 from $8.8 billion in 2011
i) Nigeria's Credit Rating downgraded
j) Massive capital flight: industries relocating to neighbouring West African countries.

*Nigeria real net oil export revenue: 2015-2017 (under PMB)*
Oil price $45 per barrel average
Loss of 1.2 million barrels per day due to disruption by the Niger Delta Avengers

2015-$16 billion (June-December)

k) Looted funds recovered running into trillion Naira mark and ploughed back into the budget.
l) TSA the plugged loopholes of waste and swindle of public funds, now N4 trillion.
---to mention just a few

*Bottom line:*
a) Those looking for a magic wand, here it is. Using $52 billion or 12% in TWO years to achieve what Jonathan could not achieve with $445 billion in FIVE years.

b)Only an incorrigible hater will say that Nigeria is not making progress, with the acute resource constraint and the multiplying challenges facing the country.

c) Rather we should endeavor to pray that our God Almighty does not allow us to see the kind of “stealing that is not corruption” that Nigeria had ever witnessed.

Nonaira1:
Igbo have said what we want and we have said it LOUD as it can get. Who's fault is it that you people keep lying to yourself and playing ostrich? You are the ones busy listening to those greedy "igbo leaders" rather than paying clear attention to what igbos have screamed LOUDLY that we want. We don't want your presidency, we want our of your shithole to create a nation that present good governance, not all this childish backwardness that Nigeria practice and call government.
How much clearer do we have to get?

Noise makers with no shame and no guts. You want to create a nation but when the Arewa youths requested you to leave before October 1st , you swallowed that false pride and came begging. Who is stopping you from building your nation. All you need if for your ministers, legislators , security personnel , students and traders to move back to your tiny enclave. But you will never do that , you would rather sit tight spilling arrogance and insults and pretending that you want Biafra.

Perge:
Dead cattle does not equate or avenge for the thousands of human lives you all scumbags have wasted in Buhari's shithole Nigeria

It is still jungle justice and you are justifying it. There is no proof that the owner of this cattle killed anybody or even destroyed sny crops.

He is right. "No group can produce a President for Nigeria without negotiations". But the Igbos are experts in insults, especially the IPOB louts on Nairaland. Let's see how insulting other Nigerians even billions of times can give you a President.

dannypaul:
u didnt read what the money was spent on? capital projects therefore its not a waste.

the roads will be ever useful afterwards

Do people have to die before we build roads? How many km of roads were built to bury a serving president YarAdua?
Nigeria must resist being sucked into this primitive retrogressive culture of reckless spending for the dead while the living are suffering.

yaki84:
The cost of hiring an air ambulance is not a joke. So, Buhari has
honoured this Igbo son in all ramifications.

This ngige is just a complicated compendium fool.
Why bring tribe to this national leader?
Someone who was a vice president n constitutionally is supposed to be taken care by the fed govt, n this foolish short shitholean is talking as if govt of buhari is doing him a favor....

Umaru YarAdua was the serving president when he died. Nothing like this waste was incurred by the government for a so called … honoring the dead.

These wretched looking youths with Dane guns may just be hunters, as this is their hunting season.
I hope they are actually investigated thoroughly before judgement is passed. But I am afraid they may face official lynching by our incompetent Police encouraged by a hateful ignorant public.

So where are the cattle? How can they be Herdsmen without cattle?

Why are they not armed robbers or bandits or just criminals ?

Can you be described as a farmer even though you have no farm?

Another media propaganda from apc rodent zombie, one useless bittered mod will come and hid my comment now

You can never please IPOBS. Hatred is in their blood.

This was forwarded to my face book page on January 27th 2015. That is almost exactly 3 years ago, as the hypocrisy is intensified and being aggressively perpetuated , that observation is still relevant. Please read on ;

"If Buhari was pictured attending a mosque, and it was reported that the Imam said 'he would open the gates to hell upon those who oppose Buhari', and Buhari sat there and said nothing, what do you think many people would be saying today?If Buhari was pictured going to different mosques and kneeling before Imams, as part of his campaign, what do we think the comments would be?If Buhari was pictured going on pilgrimage to Mecca, surrounded by a retinue of fawning Imams, what would the response be from Nigerians?If Buhari invited senior Imams from across the country to a meeting with him, to discuss the elections and his campaign strategy, what would the Nigerian people think?GEJ has done all the above, and we are told he has a right to do so as a committed christian. Buhari has done none of the above yet he is called a religious fundamentalist with a plan to turn Nigeria into an Islamic nation.Please examine the facts so we can honestly decide who is acting like the real religious fundamentalist? Who is using religious faith as a political ploy to get votes?No pastor, Bishop, GO, Reverend Father, Imam etc etc is GOD. They do NOT have the right to tell you who to vote for. Go out there and support the candidate of your choice.
Make your choice based upon who will give you and your children a better life and a better Nigeria."-
TRUTH IS PRICELESS. Vote out the bigots and shame their Prophets and Bishops, tell Oyedepo that God is the God of righteousness, HE is God of all flesh, HE hates corruption and despises those whose watch encourages corruption, usury and insecurity.
We shall VOTE the CHANGE ticket and hell will not roll over.
God Bless Nigeria.

Who is talking common toad. If southern Nigeria unit and they forget their difference they will always be on top of northern.

Southern Nigeria to unite - Future impossible tense, my friend.

I wish these criminals so called law makers would all defect to another country.
