Instead of them to go and arrest the dullard petroluem minister who made the commodity scarce in the first place
Is that how you tell jungle justice lynching mobs to also do jungle justice to their LGA Councilors & Chairmen, governors and state lawmakers who made the petty thief jobless without money to push him into stealing
stanluiz: There is no economic sanctions that is imposed on Nigeria yet Nigerians are more suffering x10 than those countries that are under sanctions.
The currency naira has lost its value and naira is now like a tissue paper.
ASUU on strike. Price of goods has skyrocketed. Fuel scarcity. Students are not going to school because ASUU is on strike. High rate of crime and insecurity.
Yet the president is on medical vacation abroad wasting tax payers money. Politicians are looting endlessly. Etc.
We can't even vote for good candidate in presidential election because tribal and religious sentiments.

Outrage as FG abandons N140bn 2nd Niger Bridge ...Buhari should order Julius Berger back to site - Stakeholders
There is anger in the South East zone over the Federal Government’s abandonment of the N140 billion ($700 million) 2nd Niger Bridge. Investigations by The AUTHORITY revealed that the contractor, Julius Berger Construction Company, stopped work on the project which is being constructed under Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement since April 2015.
Concerned citizens of Eastern Nigeria and other stakeholders are appealing to President Buhari to direct the construction company to resume work on the project. After a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on August 26, 2015, the Director General of Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Aminu Diko, had hinted that work on the vital bridge would be suspended. Dikko said: “The communities around that area are clamouring that their lands have been taken and that they have not been compensated adequately. As a matter of fact, we got a letter from the Onitsha Traditional Rulers Council complaining that they have not been adequately represented in this transaction.”
As that was raging, the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole called on the former Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onolememen, to explain to Nigerians the whereabouts of the billions meant for the bridge as according to him, $700 million was drawn from the Sovereign Wealth Fund for the project. The bridge’s contract was awarded by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan during the second term of former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi. Onolememen had then assured Nigerians that the project would be completed before the expiration of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration in 2015 as part of efforts to deliver on the campaign promises of that government. But Jonathan lost in the election and immediately the contractor left the site.
The bridge is said to have been reflected in this 2016 Budget with hope that something tangible would be done to construct the bridge. All the several efforts made by The AUTHORITY to speak with the management, including the Managing Director of Julius Berger Construction Company, Mr. Wolfgang Goetsch, on why work was stopped on the project, proved abortive. Some stakeholders, however, claimed that the construction giant abandoned work immediately President Buhari took over the mantle of leadership about 10 months ago, following a presidential directive that work at the site should discontinue. An employee of the firm (name withheld) who claimed he was recruited in April 2014 at the site of the bridge, admitted that Julius Berger had stopped work at the project site since June 2015 due to non-funding by the Federal Government. According to him, the company only did soil texture and property evaluation before leaving the site with almost all their working equipment. “So, if the Federal Government is ever serious about the project, let it release the money for work to start,” he said.
Comrade Casmir lzukanne, who lives close to the project site, said: “We don’t know why they stopped work and we are not happy or feel comfortable with the Federal Government, because this is the only bridge that links the South East to other parts of Nigeria and it’s economic importance to our country cannot be quantified.” The Campaign for Democracy (CD) was emphatic on President Buhari as it called on the Federal Government to mobilise to the site of the 2nd Niger Bridge to end the marginalisation of Ndigbo. In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Dede Uzor A.Uzor, CD wondered why such a national project should be abandoned and politicised.
Other stakeholders in Onitsha, Anambra State asked President Buhari to direct Julius Berger to return to site to continue the construction of the Second Niger Bridge. The President of the Amalgamated Association of Anambra Traders (AMATAS), Chief Okwudili Ezenwankwo and the Chairman, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) Nze Emeka Umeagbalasi, among others, called on Buhari to direct Julius Berger to return to site. Ezenwanko said that he was hopeful that work would resume again at the site because he reliably gathered that the bridge was included in this year’s budget, which has just been passed by the National Assembly. Chief Anigbata, who also said that the bridge was reflected in this year’s budget, expressed the confidence that Buhari will execute the bridge because of its strategic importance to Nigeria and Ndigbo. He said that the Federal Government needs to put an infrastructure like the Second Niger Bridge on the ground to boost trade, commerce and agriculture. But Umeagbalasi expressed doubt in Buhari completing the bridge, given his disposition towards the Ndigbo, saying that they are watching him closely. He called on the Ndigbo, especially political leaders, rights activists and media practitioners to continue to mount pressure on the president so that he may have a rethink, even if he was not keen.
On their part, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Igbo monarchs and other stakeholders, called on the Federal Government, to as a matter of urgent national importance, resume work on the 2nd Niger Bridge. The Coordinator of the Seven States Chairmen of Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), Mazi Alex Okemiri, said the suspension of work on the project stands tall among the injustices against the Ndigbo. He said the project had become a huge fraud against Ndigbo by successive administrations in the country. Ohanaeze said the abandonment of the project had seriously undermined and sabotaged economic activities in the South East geopolitical zone which is known for trade and commerce.
In the same vein, the Chairman of Umuahia North Traditional Rulers Council, HRH Philip Ajomiwe, called for the immediate resumption of work on the abandoned project. He described the suspension of work on the project as “very shocking, painful and unbelievable”, considering the economic and strategic importance of the Niger Bridge to the Nigerian economy.
Ishilove: All they know how to do is collect and collect and collect, while they give only hardship in return.
If people who (should) know allow them to get away with the collect & collect & collect, why won't they do so? When the people who know work tirelessly to educate & enlighten those who don't know currently until they have a critical mass of knowledgeable people, will the few in government be able to collect, collect & collect easily while giving only hardship in return
Ekejoestar: I asked the question when I saw the post on frontpage few days ago, but nobody deemed it fit to give me an answer.
Why would you toll a bridge that is of economic importance to Nigeria.
We were talking of building a modern bridge that will have a ship under pass but here they built analogue bridge and want to use noise to block our ear
How can a country with the highest number of children out of school, with extreme poverty ahead of India's 1.5 billion want to build a "modern" bridge. What kind of nonsense priority is that? Why do poor people generally like to flex with things that they can't afford Na swear abi na curse? When Anambra, Delta and the other 34 state governors have all children in free primary & secondary schools with enough teachers, then we can think of building OURSELVES a modern bridge instead of borrowing money and skills from the chinkos et al.
OfoIgbo: That is the only structure Buhari has completed in this second Niger bridge thing, after 7 years of his presidency. GEJ only did 5 years, so Buhari has no point against GEJ, afterall Buhari couldn't finished the bridge within 5 years of his reign
BabalawoPikin: Till then bruh.. The hate people got for igbos will calm when our darling BAT shows up.. Tinubu is comingm. Baba sharp sharp. Not that slowpoke in aso rock. Jagaban no be anybody mate
Please how is the Jagbajantis who pees uncontrollably in his pants better than the olodo he packaged as Nigeria's messiah seven years ago? What is the difference between six and half a dozen
Olarewajutv: A video, which has now gone viral on social media shows the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress and former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu with suspected pee stains on his cloth during a visit to the Awujale of Ijebuland.
Tinubu, who was seated on a black leather couch alongside some other party stalwarts had risen to give a speech but his attire had soaked from behind, particularly at the butt area.
The politician's security aide was seen constantly holding his nose while looking at the wet area as another woman immediately wore her face mask as the Asiwaju rose up to speak.
This has piqued the interest of many Nigerians who insisted the wetness of the attire at the spot was urine. Others, however, argued that it might be sweat resulting from the long period of sitting on a leather couch.
Meanwhile, there have been concerns over Tinubu's presidential ambition considering his health challenges.
Recall that last month, Tinubu had informed President Muhammadu Buhari of his ambition to contest the position of president in 2023.
Tinubu also paid visits to some Northern states including Niger and Katsina to sell his ambition.
He had also met with the former dictator, who annulled June 12, 1993, presidential election, General Ibrahim Babangida, over his plans to be President of Nigeria. Unconfirmed reports said Tinubu took a long time to get off the aircraft when he visited Niger State, and that he had to be assisted to get down.
There were also allegations that he had to visit the toilet many times on the flight back to Abuja, which is about 20 minutes.
SaharaReporters had reported that Tinubu, amidst his ambition for the 2023 presidential race to succeed Muhammadu Buhari, spent over four months patronising hospitals in France, the United States and the United Kingdom where he underwent several surgeries.
He was flown out of the country some days to Christmas in 2020 to Paris, France.
The APC leader returned to Nigeria on January 24, 2021, after a month absence from Nigeria.
Maxymilliano: DEFECTION to another Party INVALIDATES a Certificate of Return. Any sane person with a sense of law and order, knows Umahi and his Deputy don't have a case
As simple as ABC, except that with Bubu's lawless body language, these things are no longer as straightforward as they ought to be. Quite sad for the supposed man of integrity voted to fight corruption. Very sad indeed!
franchasng: lol, Nairaland Muslims love Russia more than Russians. They know more about Russia and Ukraine more than a Russian journalist.
Jihadists, all they love is to see blood spilling all over the world for them to feel fufilled in their religion. Despite Russian oppression of Ukrainians, Ukrainians aren't turning to suicide bombers and becoming global terrorists, compare that with Palestinians, Syrians, Yemenis and Afghanistans, you will understand why the world is standing up for Ukraine
They don't remember how USSR invaded Afghanistan and was defeated after years of fighting. They also forget how Putin massacred Muslims in Chechnya while the US/NATO saved Bosnian Muslims from Christian Serbs. Why are they so forgetful
Islie: Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom on Monday accused Bala Mohammed, Bauchi State governor, of being a terrorist.
“I am beginning to think that my brother, the governor of Bauchi State is part of the terrorist Fulani organisation that is terrorising this country,” Ortom said while addressing journalists in Makurdi, Benue State capital.
“Why do I say this? This is the same governor who took the oath of office to protect the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This constitution does not leave room for allowing foreign herdsmen to come in without valid papers,” he added.
He also referred to the assertion by Mohammed that herders should carry AK-47 to defend themselves as being “unconstitutional.”
“His recent outburst that Fulani herdsmen are justified for carrying AK-47 to protect themselves. I don’t know where the constitution of this country allows that,” he said.
Ortom, therefore, called Mohammed to render an unreserved apology to Nigerians and learn from the provisions of the constitution that, land both territorial, forest, and aquatic, are vested on the governor of a state who holds them in trust.
Mohammed’s comment on armed herdsmen had earlier triggered a wave of condemnation from his counterparts and Nigerians alike, increasing calls for the prohibition of open grazing.
RacistProudIgbo: Thunder fire you terrorist Buhari. He is a bastard from Niger Republic.
Is that why El Rufai paid the illegal migrant Fulani killers
shariff84: We’ve paid some Fulani to stop killings in Southern Kaduna – El-Rufai ON DECEMBER 3, 2016
Kaduna State Governor Mallam Nasir el-Rufai has said his government has traced some violent, aggrieved Fulani to their countries and paid them to stop the killings of Southern Kaduna natives and the destruction of their communities saying that the renewed violence is carried out by bandits.
El-Rufai made this known while fielding questions from some select Journalists in his office in Kaduna.
He said: “For southern Kaduna, we didn’t understand what was going on and we decided to set up a committee under Gen. Martin Luther Agwai (rtd) to find out what was going on there. What was established was that the root of the problem has a history starting from the 2011 post election violence.
“Fulani herdsmen from across Africa bring their cattle down towards Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria. The moment the rains starts around March, April, they start moving them up to go back to their various communities and countries.
“Unfortunately, it was when they were moving up with their cattle across Southern Kaduna that the elections of 2011 took place and the crisis trapped some of them.
“Some of them were from Niger, Cameroon, Chad, Mali and Senegal. Fulanis are in 14 African countries and they traverse this country with the cattle.
“So many of these people were killed, cattle lost and they organised themselves and came back to revenge.
“So a lot of what was happening in Southern Kaduna was actually from outside Nigeria.
jerseyboy: YORUBA WILL LEAD ALL OUT OF NIGERIA YORUBA NATION THE LIGHT ONTO THE BLACK RACE.
Was that why Awolowo allowed himself to be used against Biafra in the civil war, only to be replaced by Shagari after he was no longer useful to the owners of this Niger area that is Bubu's Fulani Republic of Naijeriya, FRN
gidgiddy: Many people are still hoping and praying that he will one day speak to his herdsmen brothers, killing people all over Nigeria, in Fufulde, which they all understand
Rather than speak to them in any language that the killer herdsmen understand, he is asking that Omoale in Aso Rock to tell us to give up our ancestral land. What a waste of bunkum!
awakeupcall4all: The Presidency, yesterday, charged those against the administration’s ranching and colony programmes for herdsmen to rethink, noting that they are better off living with the ranches and colonies than dying through the persisting conflicts.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina, speaking on an AIT morning programme in response to a question on ancestral attachments to land said: “Ancestral attachment? You can only have ancestral attachment when you are alive.
If you are talking about ancestral attachment, if you are dead, how does the attachment matter? The exhortation from the Presidency came on a day Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, said that history would be harsh on the present administration if it failed to stop the mass killing of innocent Nigerians.

BluntCrazeMan: Ok naa. .. .. Meanwhile, let me scatter this thread small. .. .. I don laugh taaya since afternoon when I saw this. .. The Hungry Yam-Eaters In Anambra Are Already Getting Very Angry That the incoming Government wants to take away the Yams from them. .. ..
The same way that Bubu has taken the promised yam of 2023 president from the sick man who stole the past, present and future of Lagosians in bullion vans instead of employing them to deliver governance outcomes like water, education, healthcare, roads, sanitation etc
Wazobia2216: They are quick to post arrested but the media had to go agog before we could see the picture of Abba Kyari in court with handcuff ooooooo
I put it before you that if the FBI had not expose Abba Kyari, the north wouldn't have!
Well shall, everyday na for thief one day na for the owner of the house!
This regime will forever be remembered for their injustice!
That is Buhari’s Fulani Republic of Naijeriya, FRN where the 97% are sacred cows and the 5% are hunted down. The Divider-in-Chief of Aso Rock is doing well.
Backbencher2: All true, but Nigerians love subsidy. Too much. Politics aside.
Informed people like you are also Nigerians. Why don’t you do more to create a critical mass of similarly well informed Nigerians for a country that works better for us all?
BKayy: Ndị ara. They have now realised that lies cannot help them. They have come to accept that they were tricked and used by the West.
Since the start of this conflict, all intellectuals including economists from USA have all condemned the West for tricking Ukraine. Russia has history, agreements and everything by their side. The west have nothing but their wicked ambition of taking control of the entire world. The truth is that one man cannot rule the world. Even if one man can, it shouldn't be those that want to shove their gay sexuality down the throats of everybody. Don't get me wrong, I don't have issues with gay people but I have issues with the West making unconditional acceptance of such abnormality a must.
For those that don't understand. The agreement before the fall of Berlin Wall, was that NATO even though they are not prepared to let go of their imperialism should not move an inch towards the East (Russia). They should stop at Germany and maintain their allies in Europe and eternal slaves in Africa and beyond. What happened? For the past 20 years, Russia has endured watching NATO deceive and encroach. Something no country with the capability to defend herself has ever endured.
As for the ignoramuses always posting in zombie language "... Ughh u..Kraine is.. A sov...reign.. Natiiiooon" You shouldn't be worried about something that will never happen. The global imperialism of the West can never be complete. Somehow, nature has a way of stopping it. Today it is Russia drawing the line. Tomorrow might be Biafra or Oduduwa Republic. Who knows.
You should be concerned about the freedom of Africa from the Western project. The subjugation that our ancestors fought and failed. When exactly will UK and France hand off from Black Africa? For the past two months, Mali took the bold step by kindly asking France to hands off from their economy and territory, do you know what followed? The entire West especially those that took part in the Berlin conference started threatening Mali with sanctions. The one wey pain me pass na ordinary Norway of 5m people that I am sure that Anambra State is more populated than is questioning Mali's audacity. Mali, a country of 20 million people. They couldn't contain such boldness from a black nation. But until today, I haven't seen any attention to the Mali situation here or their media. They want to suppress it so that other black Africans won't be motivated.
Are we not the real ndi aras who want everything without doing anything? Is that how it is in our own communities? If you don’t see any attention on Mali in the western media, why not create our own global media as the Arabs have done with Al Jazeera? Whining, wailing and crying can only get us some tokens. It can’t get us enduring respect and prosperity. How easy is that to understand?
Backbencher2: Landing cost in June 2021: N232. Landing cost 6 weeks ago : N282 Landing cost last week N330.
Government cost of petrol since late 2020..N162.
Matter of difference between landing cost and set price of petrol...which is why subsidy rises.
Simple solution...which we should have done since 1993....remove subsidy. Not done, because if we had done that in 1993....by now, fuel would be over N400, and food, and other prices rise. Governments, especially this one, too scared to do so.
The Jonathan government wanted to do it in 2012 but political considerations made Buhari, Tinubu and other APC people rally against it. If Jonathan’s 2012 deregulation happened back then won’t we have extensive local refinery capacity exporting to neighbouring countries as well as lower prices with employment implications like we have in the telecoms sector, which also had initial high prices?
Backbencher2: That happened because Buhari made NNPC the sole importer of fuel, meaning that the loophole of 'importing' that was used to embezzle subsidy money was closed...meaning that NNPC took on itself the burden of subsidising fuel...and government paid up the equivalent of the subsidy NNPC spent to them so that they won't collapse.
Even then, NNPC cannot sustain the subsidy, so from time to time, price increases occur. This might be one of those times.
If the loophole is blocked, please why is subsidy increasing despite Bubu's rumoured integrity
Pierocash: In terms of fuel scarcity,the Buhari government has scored more than 97% far more than the previous administrations. Since Buhari came into power, fuel scarcity became a thing of the past unlike previous administrations especially Gej, and Obj's Regime
Have you been living under Aso Rock with ears and eyes blocked since May 2015? Or why did you say this falsehood?
MaxInDHouse: You people just reason like babies, so you are comparing the time when the world has not agreed on terms and conditions of relations with today when there is lots of organizational arrangements to unite all nations.
Was there anything like United Nations back then? After the Roman empire the world has been working towards becoming a global family but back then it was the survival of the fittest, that's why God first of all sent a powerful message to all the nations occupying Canaan that His people are coming to take over the land He swore to give Abraham and his descendants. Note that the Israelites had a specific portion where God asked them to stay, and since their God could free them from the hands of the world's most wonderful nation of that time no reasonable individual should dare dragging lands with the worshipers of such a God after all it's not the whole earth He demanded for His worshipers to practice pure worship!
So learn to distinguish between irrational land grabbing and what God demanded back then.
Was there anything like the United Nations when Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3 that you quoted were written? Meanwhile the Jewish God is not worshipped by almost half the world populsation in China and India, so.................
Where were they and what have they been doing when Jehovah's Witnesses were teaching their own members not to participate in WARS? Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3
Zonefree: No one cares about El rufai and his useless core whatever!
Unfortunately the terrorists run this Fulani Republic of Naijeriya, FRN that Luggard's amalgamation has turned into.

Just like the USSR after their failed Afghanistan invasion
Collapse of Soviet Union
1. Collapse of Communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe (1989) 2. Détente: Cooperation between Superpowers - During the Cold War President Nixon and Brezhnez conducted SALT (Strategic Arms Limitation Talks) conferences and signed a treaty limiting the number of missiles each country can have.
3. USSR and Afghanistan Cooperation/Détente Ends • 1979-1988 • USSR backed the Afghan government; the US backed the Mujahedeen rebels • US boycotted the 1980 Olympics in Moscow • 14,000 Soviet dead; 1+million Afghans –Over 5 million Afghans fled (more than 1/3 of the population) –10-15 million land mines still in Afghanistan –Soviets withdrawal defeated 4. - Soviet economic collapse - Nationalism in Warsaw Pact countries - Tearing down of Berlin Wall - Breakup of the Soviet Union Collapse of Communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe
5. Nationalism in Warsaw Pact Countries 1. Gorbachev’s pullout from Afghanistan and his policy of Non-Intervention gave rise and momentum to Warsaw Pact nationalism movements. 2. Soviet/Warsaw Pact countries resented Soviet control and wanted to direct their own governments. 6. Tearing Down the Berlin Wall 1. East Germany elected a more moderate Communist government, but many not satisfied; allowed people to leave East Germany 2. November 9, 1989 – the Brandenburg Gate opened and people began tearing down the wall 3. Tearing down Berlin Wall symbolized and helped lead to fall of Communism in Eastern Europe; East Germany & Czechoslovakia 4. Gorbachev and President Reagan given credit for being most responsible for the end of the Cold War
7. Ronald Reagan: U.S. President 1980-88 “Tear down this wall” 8. Brandenburg Gate Fall of the wall news broadcast 9. Soviet Economic Collapse 1. Over-spending on arms race weakened government & economy 2.Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev tried to reform the USSR economy in two plans a. perestroika – restructuring of the Soviet political and economic system - Weakened Russian economy in short-term b.glasnost – “Openness” freed public access to information after decades of heavy government censorship 3. Gorbachev encouraged reform in other 15 Soviet Socialist Republics: new countries 4. Hard-line communists attempted a coup against Gorbachev – failed 5. U.S.S.R. crumbles; Gorbachev = the last leader of the USSR 6.Boris Yeltsin, with support of many who wanted continued reforms, becomes President of Russia Mikhail Gorbachev U.S.S.R. Boris Yeltsin Russia
10. Break Up of Soviet Union 1. Soviet Republics, one-by-one, broke away from Moscow and declared independence. 2. 1989-90: The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R) was dead.
