Untrue! Many substantial donations are from foreign government to advance their interest but do it by patronising their local businesses. In our case, we have company manufacturing and some assembly cars but our government chose to strengthen Japanese economy instead of ours. Yet the government doesn’t know how to create jobs

Common young man stop behaving like this .
It is increasingly frustrating to teach you guys simple things. That is why you are defending
this nonsense.

Worst of all you don’t even understand what I wrote.
The HIV/AIDS you cited as reference, whose interest is the USA protecting ?
Who manufacture the drugs ?
Which economy benefits from the donation the most?

They plan to appoint Gov Lalong as APC campaign DG with the intention to use him for their TAQQYA programme on Christians.

@Lalong, they said, you are not competent to be a VP, but you are being programmed to be the campaign DG for a Muslim-Muslim ticket. Such is the traits of Judas Iscariots. Such is the character of the christian who manufactured the weapon used to conquer Turkey.

Christians will not buy the smelling hypochrisy. Lalong is the only a STOOGE that the masterminds of the Islamization propagators want to use as cover.
All Christians should be wary of the antics of the likes of Gov Lalong, who are Christians at daytime but hobnob with Islamists at night. Those who are close to Gov Lalong should warn him to decline the GREEK offer.

If Governor Lalong chooses to accept this Esau's porridge, we will excommunicate him from attending any Christian gathering and where he does, he will be booed off stage and be petted with pure water in any church or christian congregation he attends.

A united Christian is what we want and that is what we shall get.

Provide a link where the agreement was signed

Family sources confirmed the death of Balogun, who became IGP in March 2002, to Daily Trust on Thursday night, but did not go into details.

Born on August 8, 1947 at Ila-Orangun in Osun State, Tafa Balogun, was the 21st Inspector-General of Police. He was a member of cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Course 3. Having worked in various Police commands throughout the federation, and earning his promotions as at when due, Tafa, was at a time, the Principal Staff Officer (PSO) to former Inspector-General of Police, Muhammadu Gambo, Deputy Commission of Police Edo State, the pioneer Commissioner of Police in Delta State. He was also CP in Rivers and Abia states.

Tafa, a fellow of the premier highest military institution in Nigeria, the National War College, later became the Assistant Inspector General of Police A.I.G Zone One, Kano, from where he was named the 21st IGP of Police on March 6, 2002.

His infamous trial drew global attention in 2005. On April 4, 2005, Tafa Balogun was arraigned at the Federal High Court, Abuja for stealing and laundering of over $100 million in his three years as Inspector General of Police from the Police treasury.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) under Nuhu Ribadu brought 70 charges against him, covering the period from 2002 to 2004 when he was the Inspector General of Police. He made a plea bargain with the court in exchange for returning much of the property and money. He was sentenced to six months in jail.

Judge Binta Nyako said her sentence reflected that Balogun was a first offender and had shown remorse. He was directed by the court to pay N500, 000 on each of eight counts charges totaling N4 million.

His trial was full of drama. One of such was when he collapsed on his seat on June 29, 2005, at the Abuja High Court.

The former police boss, who pleaded guilty to eight of the 56 count-charges directly affecting him, was convicted and sentenced to six months in each of the charges, which is however to run concurrently.

He was released on February 9, 2006 after serving his sentence, part of it at Abuja’s National Hospital.

$76000 per Capita: Key Points To Learn Specially From the US Economy

Well in all honesty it would be difficult ....but achievable tho

To do that he must have have 25% in all southern states to stand any chance that's 17 ...7 to go
Abuja , nasarawa, Jos , taraba , Benue , Kaduna ...then he has to get 25% in kogi or Kwara or Adamawa or gombe or Bauchi ...

Is it possible yes it's very possible but would require a lot of work

Obi needs to spend 25% of campaign time in middle belt , 25% in south west ( close to election ) 25% in north east and Kaduna

Then south south and south east should get 10% north west should get 15% of his time really

Benki003:
He doesn’t need 25 percent in 24 states his getting 80 percent south east 60 percent south south 25 percent nc and the 20 ne

Agreed with who?


If you understand governance, you will know the difference between mere talk, promises, agreement and enforceable business contracts.


There are actual document relating to P&ID and Mambila.
Where are those for the Niger rail line and which companies were involved?


Don't muddle the water, Nigeria took loan from China under some terms of repayment.
There is no "mess" involved, either we pay as agreed or they take over what they have built.

All these talk are unnecessary.
Just bring out the evidence of contract documents signed in 2013 for $1.96 billion dollar rail to Niger.

Another "Jonathan made me do it" Fake news.
Nowhere in that article was a contract awarded.

The deceptive OP even added the "$1.96 billion" phantom cost for a project that was never officially considered.

If you think I am wrong, kindly provide the contract documents, the companies involved and the budgetary allocation.

Buhari administration has come under attack over its plan to construct a rail line from Nigeria to the Niger Republic, a project some have described it as a “misplaced priority”.

Although Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, said the rail line will end at Nigeria’s border with Niger and not extend into the country, those against it still believe it is not worth the $1.96bn investment.

Among those that have kicked against the project is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which said in response that “the problem of this regime is that it has never got its priorities right”.

“What is the economic benefit of this project to Nigeria,” Kola Ologbindiyan, PDP spokesman, had asked in a media interview.
Interestingly, the rail project was first conceived during the PDP administration in 2013.
The government of the then-president Goodluck Jonathan had announced plans to construct a rail line from Zaria in Kaduna state to Niamey, the capital of Niger Republic.

Then-Vice President Namadi Sambo, who made the announcement, had said the rail line will run through Zamfara, Sokoto and Kebbi states.

When he visited the emir of Zazzau at the time, Sambo had said: “I am glad to inform you that rehabilitation of the rail line from Zaria to Kauran Namoda has commenced. I am equally happy to state that rail services from Kano to Lagos are in progress.

“The survey on the new rail line from Kauran Namoda to Sokoto to Birnin Kebbi has begun. We hope to link the rail line to Niamey in Niger Republic.”

Now that the project has returned to the limelight, the president said it was part of a masterplan in an agreement signed in 2015 between Nigeria and Niger, and coordinated by the Nigeria-Niger Joint Commission for Cooperation.

How beneficial is it to Nigeria? Shehu had said the rail will help both countries harness raw materials, mineral resources and agricultural produce.

“When completed, it will serve domestic industries and play the role of a viable transportation backbone to the West African subregion, starting with the neighbouring Niger Republic for their export and import logistic chain,” he said

I am asking this because I know Nigerians. Since I can remember, every democratic administration is presumably worse than the last.

During Obasanjo's era, people cursed him and said Abacha's administration despite the brazen thievery and tyranny were better years.

(skipping Yar'adua for obvious reasons)

During Jonathan's era, google labelled him the most cursed president on the planet while many labelled him a clueless drunk. Everyone agreed Obj's years despite trillions syphoned through NEPA were better.

The curtain on Buhari's administration is gradually closing and it's safe to say most people attribute any problem to Buhari even if they trip on a flight of stairs and break a leg. Again, we all agree Jonathan's years were much better.

I'm afraid that regardless of the outcome of the forthcoming elections, nothing really changes. If and when the value of the USD comes down, the value of products and services in Naira remain exactly where they are waiting for the next increase in USD value to further increase prices. This is a prime product of a failed state. I remember during Jonathan's last years, all sorts of charts came up just like now depicting drastic price changes compared to when he was just a vice president.

I know this is a very pessimistic view but can you blame me? They say more than half of our population are youth. This means in less than 20 years, our population will double. We don't even have plans for that!

I wonder how you can proudly market Tinubu and don't look stupid. Kudos to all those youths out there rooting for him. I understand your own sentiments and allegiance.
Some people have got balls you know, even in hardship u are still campaigning for same people that are already suffering you for the past 7 years with a loaf of bread for #1000 now, damn! Shine your eyes, suffer no de tire u?
We currently need a vibrant, competent, pragmatic and compassionate president to move this great nation in the trends it ought to be. Not some old outdated greedy men, insisting on ploughing us into gerontocracy. Everyone must do the right thing this time around for the future of our children and generations. #WECAN

This is the history of how the Fulanis subtly gain domination over the Hausas.

The historical fact will help us to actually know the contribution of British to Nigeria woe just because of their selfishness.

THE HAUSA STRUGGLE AGAINST ENSLAVEMENT
Most Sunnis and their scholars are Fulanis using Islam to keep the Hausas in perpetual bondage

The first charismatic Hausa leader to unite his people against Fulani overlords was a scholar by the name Abd al – Salam , another Hausa scholar by the name Dan Buya joined him. His movement started around 1818, shortly after the death of Usman Dan Fodio. At the time, almost all Hausa people lived in slave camps and over 60% of them were vassals of the Fulani feudal overlords…. Another large faction were turned to chattels and sold to the Ottoman traders. The revolt by these clerics to take back their lands started at Sokoto and spread from Sokoto to Kebbi and Zamfara. Sultan Bello was the ruler from Sokoto. He declared the leaders of the revolt as apostates. They were both defeated in battle and assassinated.

The Hausas were organizing for a second revolt when Lord Lugard showed up. Hoping to use his influence to sack the Fulani rulers, they enlisted en -masse into his army and formed the first battalions of the West African Frontier Force (WAFF)… Lugard betrayed them after the successful campaign and gave the land of the Hausa people back to the Emirs on the condition that the Emirs agreed to be vassals of the British. The Hausa people protested and tried to pressure him to replace them with Hausa rulers. He refused and believed that the Fulani, being a non negro race would be supposedly more intelligent people to work with in a system of indirect rule. In his journal, he wrote…. ‘The Fulani are an alien race of conquerors who had in turn been conquered. It would constitute danger to the state if they were ousted from their positions. Their intelligence enables them to appreciate more readily than the negro population the wider objects of the British policy….’

Shortly before independence, another charismatic ruler rose from the ranks to free his people from Fulani rule. He was also a scholar by the name Aminu Kano. He shared similar philosophies with Awolowo on socialism and emancipation of the masses. He argued that the talakawas were an exploited group in the North and swore to abolish both the emirates and privileged class known then as Masu Sarautu. His rising profile posed concern for the British and for a second time, they made laws that disenfranchised the Hausa people. They created an electoral college in the North with laws that gave the emirs the final approval of any elected member into the legislature. With this law, they silenced the voice of the talakawas championed by Aminu Kano and frustrated his revolution.

In the 70’s, another Hausa cleric emerged and rallied Hausa people, his name was Mohammadu Marwa, nicknamed ‘Mai Tatsine. He deviated from many of the Sunni teachings and declared himself an annabi (Hausa ruler). The title in Hausa is reserved for prophets with divine inspiration..... He swore to rid Hausa land of the Fulani elites and the nobility that exploited the local rulers for over a century. Like Aminu kano, he drew a mass following among the talakawas. His movement was violent. He had weapons smuggled into Kano for a revolution that started in December 1980….. Shagari government used the military to fight the movement and killed over 5,000 people. The group was fearless and stood their ground to the last breadth…. Major Haliru Akilu, one of the commanders sent to restore order in Kano observed that the fanatics never retreated, even when they were overpowered. They were bolder than the guerillas we read about fighting in Malaysia or in the jungles of East Asia’

Mohammed Marwa was killed shortly after the revolt . ( It was said that at death, his body did not decay and this futher inspired his followers). A More brutal successor came after him. His name was Ali Suleiman (Musa Makaniki). He led a more violent uprisings in Kaduna and the most violent of all postcolonial Hausa revolts in Yola in 1984 which left thousands of people dead and thousands more homeless. Buhari ordered a ruthless crackdown on the group in Yola that led to the death of many members. Musa Makaniki fled to Cameroon to escape death by hanging and stayed in exile for many years.

The current cleric standing for the Hausa masses is El Zakzacky. Most Sunnis and their scholars are Fulanis using Islam to keep the Hausas in perpetual bondage. SHEIK IBRAHIM ELZAKZAKY is a Hausa man, and of the Shiite Islamic sect. He is believed by the Fulani hierarchy that, if left unchecked, he can cause a major set back to Fulani domination which have lasted for more than 200 years. Which is why he is being hounded by the Buhari Fulani regime.
Unlike the other previous leaders of the fight for freedom for Hausa people, El Zakzacky had western education and his movement started with intellectuals in the ranks. He finished with a first class degree in Economics at ABU but was denied his certificate. In a country where the Northerners enjoyed the privilege of a quota system, he could have lived a good life by pledging allegiance to Futa Jalon rulers…. On the contrary, he chose to stand up for the injustice done to the Hausa people for over a century. Like the cleric before him, he deviated from all Islamic laws that bound them to Alien rulers that exploited the natives to form the nobility. His struggle is not about Islamic ideals, it is about freedom for Hausa people and rejection of Fulani nobility. His rhetoric is strictly centered on it and the government they greatly influence at federal level.

The emirs are alien rulers. Like the British who left at independence, they need to vacate the Northern kingdoms and give Hausa land back to its ancestral owners who have been seeking redress for injustice done to them by the Jihad of the early 1800’s.

‘Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.’ ( John F Kennedy)

Make all fanatic go kick GP tank. I can never be scared of Christians no matter their numbers or where I reside so if they are scared of me then they should search their conscience cos even if I dominate as muslim, I would never impose religion on anybody cos I know it's from the heart neither can one impose his own on me no matter his faith.

Allah already said in the Quran.

" I worship not that which you worship , "Nor will you worship that which I worship."
Practice your faith as you deemed fit while I practice mine. Imposition of religion is never an option only true acceptance from one.
