Such an unimpressive country. Imagine our 'envoy' travelling to go talk with people who are killing us in their land!
How??
What for?
Is it to go and beg them to stop killing us?

Utter cluelessness

His Excellency the executive governor, of Edo State, Comrade Adams Aliu Oshiomole, and our dear mother Hajia Aisha Oshiomole, His excellency the deputy governor of Edo state and his able and beautiful wife, the wife of our ... the wife of the chairman of our great party Mrs Oyegun, our zonal national woman leader, our state woman leader, the wives of the governors with me and the wives of the former governors that are with me, and the ones that we met here.

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, we are here in Edo to see my sisters and mothers. The moment the executive governor started introducing some women to me, I know* that I am in the right place and I met the right APC women. ((crowd cheers)) This is what is called digital! These are digital women! I am so delighted to be here and I am overwhelmed by the reception I got from the women of Edo state.

We are not here to campaign but to say a very good thank you, a very very big thank you to my sister the wife of the deputy governor, the commissioner for women affairs, the wife of the chairman of the party, the zonal woman leader, and the state woman leader for the job well done they’ve been doing in educating the electorate in Edo state.

In each zone of the country we have peculiar problems; our problems differs*. For me in this zone, girl-child trafficking should be considered one of our problems, though I know there is unemployment. The unemployment is the major factor that contributes to brain drain and also the girl-child trafficking. General Muhammadu Buhari is a leader, he was a leader, he led Nigeria some decades ago, and he is coming back now to sanitise the system.

For those that are campaigning, saying that he is coming to jail Nigerians, I don’t know what their fear*, but they shouldn’t because we are all yearning for change. The insecurity of the country, the very very very bad healthcare system, lack of education and other basic necessities that people are lacking. I think they need somebody like him now, and already some years back he have* been contesting. They have painted him black using religion. I’m happy today Nigerians discovered that they use religion as a cover to loot Nigeria to nonsense*. They’ve grounded the country. Whoever talks to you about religion in this country, a politician that can talk to you about religion, he is a liar. He is a liar, he wants to loot! He wants to loot the little resources you supposed* to enjoy, so say no to politics, comparing it, matching it with religion to deceive people.

I’m here today to let Edo women know that when my husband elected* into the office of the ... president of the federal republic of Nigeria, all these are going to be history. The insecurity, the girl-child trafficking, suffering of the widows in the south-east will come to an end. There must be a design, a cultural design that can accommodate the widow, and then a design that can make the girl-child comfortable wherever she is in this country. She doesn’t need to leave her country to go and prostitute elsewhere. It is not her portion. Her portion is to have a moral, a highly standard* moral society for her to live, get married, have children, train them ... train them and also mould them to become the future of our leaders*.

We’re here today to also educate you and to let you know that the collection of PVCs is important. You collect your PVC and don’t sell it. Don’t ever sell it. Don’t ever sell it; it’s like selling your future again. When you sell it for five thousand, you won't see five thousand* again till after four years, which is too bad for you. Get your PVC, vote for APC, vote for freedom, vote for new Nigeria. Good security, good education, good health care, good road* and all the basic necessities should be given to you.

I thank you all for being here this afternoon, being under the sun for hours waiting to see me. Thank you so much, I love you all. Thank you, thank you so much.

Last week ... sorry last week we lost a sister, a mother, a former woman leader, Mrs Modinat Omoduwa. Can we have a one minute silence* for her…
((8 second pause))
May her soul rest in perfect peace. Thank you so much.

APC!! APC!! APC!! Edo!! Edo!! Nigeria!!

God bless you all.

Nigerian elite have too much economic interests in SA and SA companies operating in Nigeria. Some of their kids and grand-kids study & live there.

In the grand scheme of things, the death of a few thousands of Nigerians is regrettable BUT acceptable so long their own interests are intact.

The government might make a "knee-jerk" reaction temporarily but nothing major will change. Sadly those foreign countries know it by now.

We punch way below our weight internationally. Way below compared to where we were in the First & Second Republics.

The moment Nigerians realize that the political class do not care one bit about us
Then and then only will we fix this country

doctokwus:
But Fayemi denied attending the WEF claiming he went for a birthday or book launch.
This APC are so devilish. Even with pictures,including that he took with a fellow governor, Fayemi openly denied attending the WEF.
It's like a man being shown his own penis to prove he is a male,but he still keeps insisting he is a female while holding the penis in his own hands!
No people,party or individual can beat APC in lies.

Whatever works for her business, including the bogus title of highest paid, as if they got it from our Bureau of Statistics.
Funny people. No wonder we have an illiterate as our president.

Let me put my opinion of the the current FG having acted reasonably in proper perspective:

The timelines for the FG vs P&ID is summarized below:

1. FG and P&ID signed a contract in 2010
2. Contract was that FG would provide pipelines and other infrastructures and deliver natural gas to P&ID
3. P&ID was to build a processing plant
4. P&ID was to provide free processed gas to FG for addition of 2000 MW of electricity
4. Government did not fulfill it's side of the bargain
5. 2010 - 2012, FGN refused to reasonably engage P&ID
6. 2012: P&ID dragged FG to arbitration tribunal in London.
7. 2012-2015 FG made no offer for settlement to P&ID
8. July 2015, the arbitration tribunal concluded on Nigeria's liability based on repudiation and judgement was reserved.
9. Jan 2017, the tribunal read the judgement it reserved in July 2015 by ordering Nigeria to pay $6.6 billion.

The foregoing is to put issues in perspective.

Now between May 29 2015, that Buhari was sworn in and July 2015 that judgement was reserved, there was little or nothing FG could have done.

And after reserving judgement, parties to the suit would have to wait to hear judgement to know their next line of action.

The guys who acted unreasonably were those in government from 2010 to 2015.

P&ID said after spending several years preparing for the project, the project collapsed because the Nigerian government did not build a pipeline or secure a supply of gas as stipulated in the agreement.

With the ensuing crisis unresolved even after proposing an amendment to the agreement, P&ID commenced arbitration against Nigeria in August 2012 in London, UK.

In May 2015, while the arbitration was still ongoing, P&ID agreed to settle the dispute upon payment of $850 million by the government, according to documents seen by TheCable.

However, President Goodluck Jonathan, who was about to leave office having been defeated in the presidential election, provoked by P&ID’s offer, countered, but indicated they would hand over the negotiations to the incoming administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The arbitration award was made two months after Buhari assumed office in 2015.

The bodies of at least 74 migrants have been washed ashore in western Libya, in the latest tragedy along the dangerous trafficking route to Europe. The Libyan Red Crescent posted photos of dozens of bodies in black and white bags lined up along the shore near the western city of Zawiya.
A spokesman for the aid organisation said there were still bodies floating out at sea as the agency had no way of retrieving them. He said the migrants were all adults, mostly from sub-Saharan African countries, and all but three were men.
The UN migration agency, the International Organisation of Migration (IOM), said the dinghy had set off on Saturday with 110 people on board. The agency said traffickers deliberately took the engines from the boat and then abandoned it to drift.

$9.6b judgment: How P&ID snubbed Buhari’s $600m offer

According to the fact-sheet, President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo separately approved negotiation with Messrs Process and Industrial Developments (P&ID) after the Arbitration Tribunal awarded $6.597billion to the company. The two leaders at various times offered $250million and an improved offer of $600million to the Irish company.

The Vice President gave the approval on April 18, 2017, following the recommendations of the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mallam Abubakar Malami (SAN), which included a negotiation with P&ID.

Also, President Muhammadu Buhari directed the Federal Government’s team to meet with P&ID counsel on July 12 and 13 in New York.

Based on Osinbajo’s approval, the AGF and the then Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, and a delegation along with counsel Chief Bolaji Ayorinde, SAN, on May 16, 2017, met with representatives of P & ID and its counsel to negotiate the judgment debt.

The government team initially on May 16, 2017 succeeded in negotiating the judgment debt from $8.4billion, to which it had risen, to $600million.

But P & ID rejected the offer on the grounds that what was agreed on to be executed was a Draft Stay of Enforcement Agreement and not a Settlement Agreement as proposed by the Federal Government.

The Federal Government offered $250million which P&ID rejected.

The document said although a former Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN), recommended an amicable settlement with P&ID, the “ proposed settlement broke down.”

The government said the “settlement could not be reached before the time for report of settlement elapsed, therefore proceedings resumed at the Tribunal for determination.”

Hate Buhari all you want, it is your inalienable right. However, cut the man some slack for uncovering this heists and fighting hard to make sure that the country does not pay some dubious contractors and their collaborators.

Now, if you ask me if I am completely happy with Buhari, it will be a capital NO.

But the truth is that, with respect to PID and this other case mentioned herein, the government of the day has acted reasonably.

Politics must be set aside when the need arises in the interest of the nation at large.

Your numbers don't add up.
Does not change the fact that indices show IGBOs are the majority criminals holding Nigerian passports in all hotbeds around the globe with direct reflection on innocent Nigerians.
IGBO criminals are the game changers and a small boy or girl like you cannot change the reality!

This latest South African attacks (and previous ones) can be directly linked to IGBO criminal activities in the last decades in South Africa - fact!

She's out there doing her thing and making her dreams a reality. I'm happy for her, at least no more monkey dey work baboon dey chop.

j1mmy:
Most bad experiences and attacks on Nigerians is a direct result of the activities of IGBO criminals in those countries, address this to IGBO leaders instead of applying the "Nigerians" label to it!
