Penguin2 and the other headless Peter Obi mob want to teach Tinubu’s lawyer how to defend his client and I’m not even making this up 🤣🤣🤣.

Like, how can people be this senseless? You’re supporting the petitioner but you’re trying to teach the respondent which case to quote and which one not to quote. What exactly is your business with how the respondent go about defending their case?

When you see the headless mob crying ceaselessly over a matter, just know they got hit big time. This is the third day of crying over Wole Olanipekun’s final address to the court. They are not even interested in talking about the final address of Peter Obi’s legal team because it’s as watery as the case they presented.

Those supporting Tinubu are happy with the excellent job Wole Olanipekun is doing. His final address to the court shredded every single issue raised in Peter Obi’s watery petition. The robustness of the defense is why the legal team confidently released the final address to the media even before adopting it in court. If them born Peter Obi legal team well, let them release their final address to the media like Wole Olanipekun has done.

😞I used to think you were very smart. But that's the embarrassment you endure for defending the indefensible.

Incase you don't know there are timelines allotted for all parties. PO's legal team has 7days to send their address (in response to that of Tinubu).

This is not a thread for tribal fights. This is a thread to encourage patriotism and the can do spirit of Nigerians. It’s a thread to promote our belief in the country. I have no other country other than Nigeria and I want the best for her irrespective of political affiliations. You need the the same mindset. Let’s leave the APC vs PDP/LP out of here, please.

You even acknowledge your tribalistic comments on other threads!
Sometimes I read your tribalistic comments and shake my head cos I am broken as to how even the so-called learned folkes also indulge in it.

Seun, the narrative (tribalism) you and this your platform is pushing out is so unfortunate 😞. I hope you don't regret it someday.

Have a nice day ❤️

Naso university exam questions suppose be... Relatable current affairs and not old set of questions used in the 80s.

If you forget, apologize. If you remember, post them and wish them well.
It doesn't cost much to say "Happy Birthday".

Not until they want to hound you for money, I think you can just give them their wish or apologize if you genuinely forgot.

Everybody go rest!

Official declaration in a bit! Abia State is finally free from bondage 🥺❤️🙏

The construction of the Lagdo Dam located in Northern Cameroon started in 1977 and was completed in 1982.

Due to the release of water from the Lagdo Dam in Cameroon, many Nigerian communities along the courses of River Niger and River Benue have been affected by floods.

The flooding which has claimed many lives and properties in Kogi state has also ravaged communities in Benue, Adamawa, Taraba, Anambra, and Nasarawa state.

In September, the National Emergency Management Agency and the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NHISA) informed Nigerians that “the Lagdo Dam operators in the Republic of Cameroon, had commenced the release of excess water from the reservoir on September 13, 2022.”

The agencies said they were “aware that the released water cascades down into Nigeria, through River Benue and its tributaries, thereby overwhelming communities that have already been impacted by heavy rainfall”.

But the flooding affecting Kogi state particularly did not start today. The problem can be traced back to the 80s when the Nigerian government failed to honour an agreement it had with the Cameroonian authorities.

*The Lagdo Dam in Cameroon*
The construction of the Lagdo Dam located in Northern Cameroon started in 1977 and was completed in 1982.

At inception, Cameroon and Nigeria had an agreement to build two dams such that when water is released from the Cameroonian dam, the Nigerian dam would contain it and prevent it from causing floods.

So, to cushion the effect of possible flooding from the Lagdo dam in Cameroon, the Nigerian government agreed to build a shock-absorber dam tagged Dasin Hausa Dam in Adamawa State.

*The Dasin Hausa dam in Nigeria*
The Dasin Hausa dam was supposed to be two and a half the size of the Lagdo dam, which was built to supply electricity to the northern part of Cameroon and allow the irrigation of 15,000 hectares of crops downstream.

Like the Lagdo dam, the dam project sited at the Dasin Village of Fufore Local Government Area of Adamawa State was supposed to generate 300 megawatts of electricity and irrigate about 150,000 hectares of land in Adamawa, Taraba, and Benue states.

But sadly, since 1982, the Nigerian government has yet to complete the building of the Dasin Hausa dam.

As a result, anytime the Cameroonian government releases excess water from the Lagdo dam, communities in Kogi, Benue, and northeastern states get flooded.

According to the spokesperson of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Manzo Ezekiel, the 2022 flooding is the highest Nigeria has ever had since 2012.

*The damages so far in 2022*
The flood in Kogi has displaced thousands of Nigerians resident in the Ibaji Local Government Area of the state. The area has completely been submerged for days.

About six persons have reportedly died including a toddler and over 600 hectares of rice farmland among several buildings have been destroyed.

Since the opening of the Lagdo dam in September, 3,274 people in Benue state have reportedly been affected while about 1,213 houses are reported to have been destroyed.

In Jigawa, a total of 92 people have died from flooding, while 651,053 persons in six local government areas have been displaced by floods according to Nigerian Tribune.

*The MoU that solves nothing*
Meanwhile, years after its failure to build a dam to address the perennial flooding issue in states and communities along River Benue, the Federal Government of Nigeria has made a futile move to forestall the recurrence of the 2012 devastating floods.

In 2013, Nigeria sent a high-powered delegation to Yaounde, Cameroon’s capital to deliberate with the country’s authorities and to demand a commitment from them on how to address the periodic flooding in Nigeria caused by their Lagdo dam.

At the meeting, Nigeria and Cameroon signed a memorandum of understanding, which entails information sharing between the two countries about rainfall and how to manage the release of excess water without leading to flooding disasters.

It was also agreed that before Cameroon opens its dam, it must issue an early warning to enable Nigeria put proactive measures in place to prevent the destruction of lives and properties.

It is in compliance with the MoU that the Central African country usually deems it necessary to inform Nigerian authorities about its intention to release excess water from the Lagdo dam.

This arrangement, however, has failed to sufficiently address the flooding issue in Nigeria.

In November 2019, the Director-General, (NIHSA), Engr Clement Nze said the Lagdo dam authorities did not inform Nigeria before they opened the dam which released water for three weeks.

So, rather than completing the construction of the Dasin Hausa dam, which is said to be 90 percent completed -to prevent flooding- the Nigerian Government prefers to annually put Nigerians in Kogi, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Benue, and some states in the northeast on red alert before the water released in Cameroon finds its way to their communities.

So many kids here on nairaland like the two above. Declaring an event a state of emergency doesn't mean declaring the state lawless, it simply means declaring the event a national interest which needs to be accorded urgent response.

Your hate for OBi is killing your sense of human sympathy. People are suffering.

Kindly read this report below on the cause of the flood and tell me if this shouldn't be declared a state of emergency.

My kind of man. Epic response!

What a country

US �� still de build 50km road and bridges?

Draft must have errors naw.. but the fact and truth still remains undiluted

All these yeye lie and stories. Mtchewww.

So you didn't know during entry but only after you finished and saw blood ? Lai will be so disappointed in your lies.

This one de talk story

Barcelona2021:
Nigeria has a Toyota assembly plant; Elizade motors.

An assembly plant is different from a car stand for sales. Elizade is the leading automobile sales private company in Nigeria dealing mainly in tropicalized Toyota Brands.

https://www.elizade.net/

"We are a typical case of one who's chasing rats while his house is on fire. The regime has put so much energy in coercing everyone to sing One Nigeria, as if it brings special benefits. We are not working on things that could make One Nigeria a natural song, instead we are creating doubts and distrust, both by actions and inactions.

Even in developed nations, thers are pockets of agitations, but achieving strategic objectives of a nation state mutes those agitations; unfortunately our political leadership is more concerned with amplifying agitators.

We have been losing in various fronts, Nigeria seems to be the only big country in the world that is never taking seriously; something to think about".

COPIED!

As Nigeria’s secret police and politicians celebrated attacking Sunday Igboho’s home and arresting Nnamdi Kanu, Toyota was commissioning an assembly plant in Ghana to sell more cars in Nigeria.
The ceremony took place at Toyota Tsusho Manufacturing Company Limited at Freezones Enclave, Tema.

Ichiro Kashitani, president and chief executive officer of Toyota Tsusho Corporation, announced in 2019 that the company will start assembling its vehicles in Ghana from August 2020.

The decision to establish the assembling plant in Ghana was announced at the 7th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 7), in Japan, where President Muhamadu Buhari had, in a meeting with Kshitani, asked Toyota to establish a plant in Nigeria.

Akufo-Addo had said the signing of the MoU with Toyota Tsusho falls in line with the vision of making Ghana an automotive hub for West Africa and the larger African market.

Volkswagen, Nissan, Sinotruck and Katanka are other vehicle brands have sited assembly plants in Ghana.

In April, Hyundai and KIA, South Korean multinational automotive manufacturers, announced plans to establish assembly plants in Ghana by the end of 2022.

In recent times, Ghana, Nigeria’s neighbouring West African country, seems to be the preferred destination of foreign investors.

How they manage to do elections without bomb blast still baffles me. Just negodu comment by a sitting governor of Bubu's Country home.

He will express shock as usual and Shehu or Femi will try to re-explain the deleted tweet to sugar coat it. Evil gunment

I love the guy but the truth is i never hear his song. I believe you know what i mean by hearing his song.
So, the chief never blow yet but i pray he does pretty soon.
