juman:Is wrong to always make assumptions when facts are there. When APC took over from PDP AMCON revealed that 360+ debtors are being owed more than N3trillion. Are those always PMB's ally? |
Quality20:Because their water isn't suitable for the hydoro-power plant. This type of plant is situated in a river with specific waterfall pattern. |
RichDad1:This is Amaechi's job, FG in particular! |
Basicend:You mean the gang up crusade by US, EU and their Christian ally that destroyed Muslim Nations like Syria, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan to depend the interest of Christ is out of love? There is nothing hidden, those Christian Nations are into modern crusade just like their predecessors, killing millions people and u are here accusing few people who have gone astray and kill with no govt authority unlike IRA who kill with authority. The most ignorant set of people are mostly Christians who have very little knowledge of their religion but always holding bible they know little abt to their worship centres. Read very well and understand ur book, stop being dogmatic and see how violent it is! |
mrvitalis:Why did u leave the idiots and accuse innocent for the disaster u are Callling on ur people? Why do u choose to be dogmatic and totally brainwashed by the saying that food is from Benue and jos only, are those Hausa marketers from the mentioned states? Our population is too big for a state or two to feed a zone for a year. Almost all Northern land is farm and grazing lands. Are Plateau and Benue not North? If u are talking abt North, we don't accept that ridiculous religious biases. No matter our differences, North is North! No amount of ethno-religious sinister will change this narration. For us who travel a lot know very well that trailers are on daily basis moving in uncountable numbers from the nooks and crannies of North to the South full of foodstuffs and meat. Single herder have more than 1000 herds of cattles in his possession. Stop being delusional by listening to the lies of bigots! |
There are some things that should never be swept under the carpet. One of them is the death of 12-year-old Sylvester Oromoni jnr. The other is the circumstances surrounding his unfortunate demise. The news of the boy’s death and the manner in which he died caused national and international outrage which attracted a presidential statement. But, contrary to all the allegations peddled at the time, it appears there is more to the death of the 12-year-old boy than was presented to the public by Sylvester Oromoni Snr and his family. Unfortunately however, it appears all that was a show put up to divert attention from the main culprit(s). Sylvester’s family through their words, deeds, misdeeds and inaction within the period leading to the boy’s death surely have questions to answer. Having alleged that their son was apparently murdered after he refused to join a phantom cult, the older Oromoni clan made startling allegations after they oversaw their own poor management of the boy’s ill health and his death in their presence. The first allegation made in public was through a person identified as a cousin to Sylvester. This person accused Dowen College of negligence leading up to the young boy’s death. She alleged that the school lied when it said the boy had an injury while playing football. According to this cousin, the injury story by the school was to divert attention from the main issue which she claimed had to do with bullying at the dormitory. As if that was not enough, Sylvester’s father later joined the fray. With the aid of video clips and several interviews, he led the narrative that Sylvester was murdered. He conjured all manner tales to justify the allegations. He alleged, without evidence, that on his death bed, Sylvester listed five names of senior students who wanted to enlist him in a cult. Although he did not name the cult. He went further to say that for refusing to join the secret society, his son was subjected to serial and sustained beating by the five boys. Not satisfied, he added that his son told him that these boys forced him to ingest a liquid substance which he suspected to be poison. This was at a time that blisters occurred on his lips and mouth. As a result of this “confession”, Mr Oromoni engineered a blistering negative campaign against the school. But more importantly, he supervised a damaging and scandalous criminal defamation against not just the families of the five accused students but the underaged students themsleves. This led to the shut down of Dowen College by the authorities, protests by the public and the arrest and detention of the accused underaged boys by the police. Because they went public with these false allegations, they have damaged the social capital of all those they accused. The families and the students are now viewed as murderers and bullies. This is why the announcement by Lagos state government recently that every accused person has been exonerated has met with public hostility. Recall that the Lagos state police command had released the detained boys and staff of Dowen who were arrested in connection with the death.The police said they didn’t have any material evidence to keep holding them after the court had granted them bail. Later, a more scientific basis for dismissing the allegations was made public. The result of the autopsy carried out on Sylvester has revealed in detail why people should not rush into judgement when allegations are made. The two autopsies which were held in the presence of all affected stakeholders proved that indeed what the Oromoni family had saturated the public with was false. The autopsy showed that Sylvester was not beaten, did not ingest any poisonous chemical, and did not die through such cruel activities. Instead, the poor boy died of acute pneumonia and related diseases. He also had an injury on his leg which appeared to tally with the football story earlier told by the school and confirmed by other students. To buttress the point about the result of the autopsy, the outcome of the post-mortem which had Pathologists from the family and government plus law enforcement agents showed the boy was not poisoned. Details of the autopsy are already in the public space and are detailed enough. It completely exonerated all the accused – showing that Sylvester unfortunately had other viral diseases that had worsened since he was not given any proper medical assistance. This is apart from the injury he suffered while playing football. Nothing from the post mortem showed he was beaten or that he ingested poison. This is why the question must be asked, what then happens? Why will the boy’s family cook up the story of poison, cult and beating when medical examination and police investigation have shown otherwise? From my observation, and taking into account all the issues raised and answered through autopsy, police investigation and the Director of Public Prosecution’s advice, it is clear that the Oromoni family were negligent and indeed actively participated in seeing to the death of the young boy. I have gathered from sources within the family that the the Oromonis have a religious belief that disallows them from medical assistance. Looking through all their efforts to help their dying son, there was no serious attempt to offer medical assistance at any point. After they took him from the school, the boy was taken to a lab for x-ray in Lagos before he was taken to Warri. No record of him being admitted to hospital for proper medical treatment. They only ran more tests, apart from allegedly taking him to a temple for prayers. Having accused others of killing their son, the Oromoni clan had to hatch a plan to sustain the initial lie when they blamed the school. They resorted to manufacturing names to cover their negligence. The DPP rightly dismissed the allegation of the name listing. Even though Oromoni Snr had said this son told him about the names, but during police investigation, he changed the story to say that the boy told an unnamed “family friend”. It will be fair for the police to call in the Oromonis. This matter cannot be swept under the carpet. Evidence shows that the public has been deceived and a lot of people and business have been tarred. Oromoni Snr has to explain how he came about the names he alleged killed his son. He has to be investigated to uncover what exactly the family did or didn’t do which led to the boy’s death. The public needs to be told the sequence of activities from when the boy was released to the family and his eventual death. Why was Sylvester not taken to a hospital? If he was, where are his medical records? Why did they hastily misinform the public about an autopsy result contrary to what the specialist hired by the family found as shown in the toxicology result? Thus, with the scientifically proven evidence and facts, it is my opinion that Mr. Oromoni who MISLED THE DELTA STATE GOVERNMENT, NIGERIANS AND THE WHOLE WORLD WITH HIS CONCOCTED STORIES IS NOT A FIT AND PROPER PERSON TO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE. HE CANT CONTINUE TO USE GOVERNMENT PARAPHERNALIA TO INTIMIDATE INNOCENT CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. TO THIS END, THE DELTA STATE GOVERNMENT SHOULD EITHER CALL HIM TO ORDER OR DISENGAGE HIM SINCE HE IS BECOMING AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THEM. Kingsley, a public affairs analyst, writes from Lagos. https://dailytrust.com/what-will-sylvester-oromoni-snr-say-now |

Jack005:Unknown to u, Abdulmutallib reported the attitude changes he saw in his son to CIA and asked them to put eyes on him long before the incident! |
Mayorofodemu:Everyone wants to peaceful coexistence and unity among his people but the unity u are calling is politically useless at voting points, u can't call for unity just for the hatred/envy of others not for the progress of ur people. Power and hands of friendship must always be extended between North and South. Your political science shouldn't be limited to paper and emotions; elites and political class are united on purpose because power has to be shared from Presidential seat, SP, VP, Speaker and other positions. Nigerians should call their Governors accountable rather than being distracted to FG for everything. If justice is served at all levels these uncalled hatred in disguise would have never exists. OK assume the unity exists in the South. What will happen if power shift is strictly adopted and the united North give Presidential ticket of APC to SW and accept VP while PDP give it to an Easterner? Power can break even a family talk less of Presidential seat. Interest.... interest.... interest! As a self proclaimed activist, u need to know that we need good leaders who can give us hope than advocating for emotional unity that can't in anyway bring a better leadership to us. If u are talking about the state of Iraq and Afghanistan, u need to first talk abt those who invaded, killed millions of women and children and underdeveloped them in the guise of modern crusade. Iraq was one of the major sources of knowledge of science, philosophy, mathematics, astronomy and medicine when the whites were never known at all; this is civilisation! |
Mayorofodemu:Uniting because of ethno-religious hatred can't give fruitful union. If u aren't content with the system then go and hug transformer. North will rally behind a Yoruba man come 2023. You don't need ethno-religious alliance for this struggle but concrete political alliance which exists between North and SW. You can't spend all ur time in nairaland insulting and abusing Yoruba Muslims and expect to unite with Yoruba for power play. Don't just be dogmatic by accepting every lies they feed to ur empty head in religious congregation. You need to know that population alone can't give north the power they hold in Nigeria bcoa the permutation of winning Presidential election requires that a candidate must win atlwast 19 states across the y geopolitical zones with 25% votes. No matter how low u rate people from far u can't know them until u go closer to them. North is beyond ur delusional perception and dogmatic brain! HISTORY OF NIGERIA'S LEADERSHIP DISTRIBUTION BASED ON ETHNO-RELIGIOUS AND REGIONAL BACKGROUND Below is the data that calculated the years Nigerians are ruled under religious, ethnic and geographical location considerations. 60 years since independence, Nigeria was ruled by: 11years Obasanjo- Yoruba 9 years Yakubu Gowon-Angas 8 years IBB-Nupe 6 years GEJ-Ijawa 6yrs Nnamdi Azikwe-Igbo 5 years Abacha-Kanuri 9 years Buhari (+2yrs military regime)- Fulani 3 years Shagari-Fulani 2yrs Yaradua-Tuareg 6 months Agunyi-Ironsi-Igbo 2years Murtala, Shonekan & Abdussalam-Fulani, Yoruba & Hausa. If calculated along religious line, it can be seen that Nigeria was ruled under Christians Presidents for atleast 32years while Muslims Presidents ruled for 29 years. When calculated along geographical location, it can be seen that South ruled for almost 24yrs while North rule for almost 37yrs. Yoruba ruled for approximately 12years, Fulani ruled for less than 12yrs, Angas ruled for 9yrs, Igbos ruled for 6yrs, Ijaw had 6yrs, Kanuri had 5yrs, Nupe had 8yrs, Tuareg had 2yrs while Hausa had 1year only. North-Western presided Nigeria for about 18yrs, South-West presided for about 12yrs, North-Central enjoyed approximately 18yrs, South-South presided for 6yrs, South-East had 6yrs while North-East are still struggling to get to the apex position and still not agitating for it. |
Saturn444:The military did not write any constitution — apart from promulgating the enabling decrees. On November 11, 1998, Abdulsalami inaugurated the Constitution Debate Co-ordinating Committee (CDCC) to “pilot the debate, co-ordinate and collate views and recommendations canvassed by individuals and groups and submit report not later than 31 December 1998”. It was not headed by a soldier but by Justice Niki Tobi, with Dr. Suleiman Kurmo as deputy chairman. There was no single military man on the committee. They went round the country to collect memoranda from the public through town hall meetings in Benin, Enugu, Jos, Port Harcourt, Kaduna, Kano, Ibadan, Lagos and Sokoto. They excluded military formations. After all the frenetic debates — up and down, north and south, east and west — the Tobi committee submitted its report to the military government. Tobi said: “In the light of the memoranda and the oral presentation on the 1995 Draft Constitution, it is clear that Nigerians basically opt for the 1979 Constitution with relevant amendments. They want it, and they have copiously given their reasons for their choice in the different memoranda and oral presentations. So they recommended to the Provisional Ruling Council the adoption of the 1979 Constitution with relevant amendments from the 1995 Draft Constitution.” Abdulsalami accepted the recommendation. When the 1999 constitution was finally published, three of them sat down and placed it side by side with the 1979 constitution. They then did a clause-by-clause analysis. The trio were: Mr. Victor Ifijeh (the current MD of The Nation newspaper who was THISDAY editor then), Alhaji Yusuph Olaniyonu (SA to Senate President Bukola Saraki who was THISDAY politics editor at the time) and THISDAY features editor. They did a word-for-word reading and laughed themselves to stupor: this is pure plagiarism of the 1979 constitution! There were only a few notable differences in the two documents, such as the 13% derivation for oil-producing states and the number of states in the federation. While the 1979 constitution spoke about 19 states, 1999 said 36 states, logically. They were only reflecting the realities on ground. FEDECO in the 1979 document changed to INEC in 1999 constitution therefore it can be concluded that the 1999 constitution is a replica of the 1979 constitution. The biggest irony abt the contentious nature of our constitution is the vicious condemnation of the 1999 constitution by some prominent Nigerians who mostly took part in the previous constitution starting committees or got favour & protection by the system. Those who believed that the constitution was imposed or dictated by military are just insulting the wisdom and character of their forefathers for accepting what is imposed on them by chairing the committee and drafting what they reject! |
Kriss216:Your opinion is ethnic bias but in reality what can Governor do when he doesn't have any power over security personnel? Reno is so stupid for calling an anarchy that can't be won. Even if it is Woke, he can't do anythiy because the power belongs to those who have it. Being chief security as a Governor is just formalities! |
Brendaniel:Because the officers in Ogun shared the same upbringings with SARS officers who used to harass, extort and intimidate their brothers in those areas unlike the background of those in Sokoto. Honestly, moral training play significant role in the conduct of armed officers in Nigeria! |
olaric: datola:Unknown to u, Salami was Chairman economic advisory council of PMB since 2019. President Muhammadu Buhari has constituted an Economic Advisory Council (EAC) to replace the administration’s Economic Management Team. 1. Prof. Doyin Salami – Chairman 2. Dr Mohammed Sagagi – Vice-Chairman 3. Prof. Ode Ojowu – Member 4. Dr Shehu Yahaya – Member 5. Dr Iyabo Masha – Member 6. Prof. Chukwuma Soludo – Member 7. Mr Bismark Rewane – Member 8. Dr Mohammed Adaya Salisu – Secretary (Senior Special Assistant to the President, Development Policy) Immediately after assuming office, these same people advised him to remove both fuel and electricity subsidies and increase VAT, that was how VAT was increased from 3.5% to 7.5%. |
Holywizard:Take ur ethno-religious hatred somewhere. In the same US Trump did what can't be done even in jungle at the end of his tenure! |
Cognitivereason:Go and check if what is happening in other Northern states affected the two states I quoted! |
demitola:What did he do that didn't get the nod of his boss? |
anseeda:Atiku! |
cuba62:I don't know why u always see religion as a tool in ur foolishness. It is the same religious fanaticism that pushed u to carry arms and start killing ur brothers all because a Northern Muslim is a President! With Nasarawa, Kogi, Kwara, Niger as Muslims majority from 6 North-Central states how do u expect a Southern Christian to unite and win Presidency if South-West who are Muslims majority will play the same card? Is it not hypocritical to insult, abuse and hate Islam or Muslims and expect an alliance with SW when they're in reality majority Muslims? Ponder well! I think some Muslims groups have sensed ur sinister and have been ahead of ur it and started thinking of fielding Tinubu with Muslim-Muslim card come 2023 and the permutation may yield winning. Only fools think there is divide and rule tactics in Nigerian politics when in reality it is voting pattern that win elections. Election can't be won in a single region or zone but votes has to be at least 25% from at least 19 states across the 6 geopolitical zones not region or 3 zones from one region! Many people in the North who are Muslims have dumped the idea of playing religion in politics but ur fanaticism and excessive bigotry may likely set everything back! |
onobatere:KANO is second most secured state in Nigeria after Jigawa. Go and check the monthly insecurity report of either NBS or newspapers reporting monthly killings across the States. |
Truthisunique:Almajiri system is a culture being preserved by Northern conservatives, though bad! Dangote's great grandfather, Alhassan Dantata is a product of almajiri system, Abdussamad BUA's family is a product of the stunt system, most wealthy KANO business men from Kantin Kwari and other markets are product of the same system but to the ignorance of many Northern conservatives a lot of things have changed and the system should be modernised to match the current reality. No state in Nigeria has planned well for her youths in the past 10yrs like KANO especially in education and empowerments! |
aribisala0:You need to learn from fact not bigotic congregation that gives u bias information. KANO had more industries than Lagos and Ogun combined before our return to democracy. KANO had the largest textile industries in Africa. OBJ killed power sector and laid pipeline to Lagos and Ogun deliberately. His a only uphold moral principles of society. What differentiate human and animals is decency and sense of reasoning which we try to uphold. KANO women are end masse into fashion, design and clothing technology. Women are into Farming and own uncountable number of businesses. |
aribisala0:Even if baby is appointed Nigeria's President that baby would set a good side of his reign. If I give u such similar statistics u may think pmb is outstanding. Alleging Northerners poor governance is a pure hypocrisy. If u want know how ur people's leadership capacity is then check the history of ur zone's governors! |
[quote author= post=109005506]Anambra alone has bigger economy than Kano markets and industries, reason why this country is stagnant because we are not frank to ourselves, how can Kano generate more VAT when three states are oil-producing states, 6 breweries alone pay huge amount to Federal government or the breweries doesn't list states generating those VAT Each commercial bank branches pay huge VAT to FG Anambra alone top Kano in numbers of commercial bank branches, let alone all the branches in southeast, same with airlines[/quote]I have never seen ignorant, delusional, uninformed person like u on nairaland.If u have never been to KANO u should stop this nonsense assumption and paper comparisons. Only Lagos and Ogun have more industries than KANO. If not because of OBJ's wickedness, no state could've matched Kano's industries. You can put 30 Onitsha in KANO markets alone. Largest textile market in Africa is in KANO, largest food stuff market in Africa is in KANO, 80% of the rice u called foreign rice in Anambra is from the same rice processing companies in KANO, KANO has largest population in Nigeria but u are so absurd to count few breweries and useless two-by-two shops as industries. If not because of characters like Ganduje how on earth can u spit this nonsense. Today, I was at Anambra and I know the place very well but u ho have never been to any place in KANO is making unrounded analysis! |
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has banned Nightclubs and prostitution in the state. Wike gave the order in his New Yesr broadcast in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Wike banned nightclub activities including nighttime trading and street prostitution especially along Abacha road and surrounding streets particularly in the Casablanca area.https://dailypost.ng/2022/01/01/gov-wike-bans-nightclubs-prostitution-in-port-harcourt/
|
If not because we went from Abacha regime to his regime, obj would have been a total failure. He did little despite meeting the country in a period when there was no much opposition, no hope. He destroyed the Democratic process that brought him to power, there were many assassination linked to him despite him being saved from Abacha wrath and made President. He became rich from less than N400k to more than $5b. Yaradua was the only President we could have had in the last 23yrs ![]() |
nabiz:What is international politics? All Nations have their political culture and approaches. In Nigeria, where Igbos only exist unless as migrants somewhere you are extremely primitive. Igbos don't know how to manage Nigerian politics. The dumbest of all politicians in Nigeria can win election in advanced Nations. Politics in Nigeria need lots of consultations, collaboration, extending hand of friendships but not insults, abuse, threats and all sort of mediocrity ur people do. Power isn't given on a platter of gold! |
Golan007:God bless u. Those who make such comments are very obvious an their hatred for Islam and North is out of this planet, their intolerance is acute! |
The same hypocrites will attack Hisbah ![]() Most Nairaland criticisms are ethno-religiously bias! |
Rev Father Matthew Hassan Kukah, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, has said despite his criticism of the Buhari administration, the president has not stopped picking his calls. The cleric, who is one of the notable critics of the government of the day, has on several occasions, accused the president of nepotism. Addressing journalists at St Bakhita Catholic Secretariat in Sokoto, on Friday, Kukah said he has maintained a cordial relationship with the president. Kukah added that his concern with the rising insecurity, killings in the country and “despotism” prompted his criticism of the administration rather than hatred. “If I pick up my phone and call Mr President now he will pick it up. The other time he missed my calls he called me back and we greeted each other. “But you know some people cry more than the bereaved. In a developed country, when you speak the truth you will be celebrated. Look at how people are celebrating the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu, but here people tag you as an enemy of the government.” Kukah also endorsed the refusal of the President to assent to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill, noting that political parties should be given the chance of how they will select candidates for election. https://dailytrust.com/kukah-despite-my-frequent-criticisms-buhari-still-answers-my-calls |
Patrioticman007:May God bless u. Those celebrating atrocities on Palestine and Arabs through Israel illegal attacks will be the same to condemn it on others. They're so ignorant that they don't know how deeply Jews hate christians and Christianity. History has shown that Arabs were never defeated by crusaders, therefore modern crusade will also fail woefully! |
Tumbulum:Unknown to ur ignorance, every Muslim believe in this. Infact, any Muslim who doesn't believe in what the emir said isn't a true believer of Islam! |
