Why can't they just lunch the attack in abuja.

Do you mean using rocket launchers to launch rockets that would hit Abuja from the creeks or invading Abuja from land and air. I think this people are probably talking with both local and foreign military advisors.
I still don't know what gives buhari confidence that he can defeat the militants. Whoever gives the advice not to tow the line of peace is a real devil.

Some folks think it would be like 1967 thing where some people were resisting in the jungles or anambra and imo with Russian and Egyptian pilots dropping bombs and killing innocent civilians while the world looked elsewhere

simplycarro:
Buhari will not succumb to cheap blackmail. Do your worse.!
Start destroying the SE now with the help of the NA
Nonsense.

No body is asking him to succumb to blackmail or threat all people are asking him is to allow peace to reign, Nigeria is already in the woods with N400 exchanging for $1, foreign investors pulling out of the country, local investors not finding foreign currency to continue their business, Nigerian students stranded in foreign schools, Nigeria oil not having enough buyers.

Buhari should just allow peace to reign and not add to the problems of the ordinary man on the street whom he is not even ready to assist.

With the dollar exchanging for N400, investors pulling out of the country, businesses finding it impossible to source for foreign currency to do their imports and now the militants threatening to ground the oil industry and someone would call this change.

simplycarro:
Nope, the government will not succumb to blackmail and getting hold to ransome.
If you want to destroy the SE because of one miscreant, good luck .

The South East even if it is destroyed will be rebuilt by the owners to be far better than other states.
But my fear is that by the time soldiers start loosing their lives in thousands, the federal government will bring a starvation policy to kill innocent women and children rather than fight biafran army, that is everybody's fear.
So for the umpteenth time buhari should release Nnamdi kanu so that peace will reign.

solid3:
Bring it on. They will soon know the exact experience that has made their parents kept quiet.

I think buhari should let peace reign for once.
By the time this boys start blowing up oil pipe lines and attacking military and police institutions and destroying public infrastructure the whole nation would suffer it as oil export would go down while a lot of military and police men would die.

There is nothing much Nigeria military can do except as usual kill unarmed youths or seek the services of South African mercenaries or Russian or British military.

But by then the economy would have taken a big hit with foreign investors running out of the country. While the military institution would look for a way to remove buhari for throwing the country into chaos.

simplycarro:
All this just because Jonathan lost an election to a Northerner.
Igbos and their sympathizers should allow peace to reign in Nigeria.

Buhari should release Nnamdi kanu so that peace will reign, buhari should pursue Nigeria's economic woes and leave tompolo, what really is too difficult to understand about this.

bamdexfarms:
and who will buy the products in the south east? because most Igbo don't even live there!!!!.... if you want him to invest there, then all igbos should relocate home so that there will be market for his products.

Who buys innoson, Union battery, aba shoes, Nnewi spares parts in the east if the market is not there, the way some of you people reason sometimes is really disgusting.

Herald47:
Dats true,the difference between imo and osun state is,imo govt is broke but the civil servants are bubbling because they have other investments that they use to support their earnings from govt,that is to say they don't totally depend on govt,but osun govt. is broke and the civil servants is also broke becaure they failed to diversify their source of income,they totally rely on govt.

Both imo and osun are APC states, we can vividly remember how churches rallied to raise bailout funds and donate food for osun people.

Imo state is broke because their igr cannot sustain their huge wage bill, that was why the reduced the size of their civil service.

But osun is bankrupt, because after paying the loans and other liabilities what remains cannot pay nepa bill for the government house.

This is really a funny appointment, making a former bank MD the SA to the minister for budget.
If this is not the height of misplaced appointment then it is just too glaring a sign of incompetence in selecting ministers

It is BMB all the way

dikeigbo2:
Welldone sir,keep it up sir,last time you gave out some portions in all silverbird buildings and outlets to showcase all made in Aba goods at free costs,that alone is real patriotism at its peak,,bless you Sir

This man has done for the present generation of igbos and niger deltans what even some of our governors and ministers have not been able to do.
God bless Ben Bruce.

isblog:
I think he still makes common sense anyhow u look at it. How many of the issues raised on the floor of the Senate house have been addressed? He takes to his twitter handle and a lot happens... Aba made goods are now trending, people now look inwards for solutions to our ailing economy and country.. I seriously don't think he reasons like obanikoro.. Truth be told, he (Ben Bruce) has made a lot of sense in recent weeks..

Ben Bruce is about the only reasonable senator in the national assembly, he joined politics out of self conviction to serve unlike the numerous senators who are filling up quota requirements of their states. He emerged from a back ground of an accomplished business man unlike some senators who are their on the grace of a god father who expects returns.
Ben Bruce type has finally proven to some weaklings that bayelsa has brains and intelligence and not drunk fishermen as was sold to the public by some desperate political parties.

Evathyst:
There he goes again! The twitter Senator!


He never makes his common sense on the floor of the Senate, but disturbs our peace here on twitter. Little wonder someone said he looks like Obama but reasons like Obanikoro.

So what are your remaining senators who make common sense on the floor achieving.

There is still massive killings in the North East, the downward spiral slide of the Naira continues with out any resistance, while your senators are busy with mundane issues and the usual blame game on the past administration.

If the South East states and South south states can close ranks and cooperate on certain economic projects then there would be zero reliance on oil.

Key among infrastructure should be a deep sea port, an international airport hub, key health institutions, key world class educational and research institutions.

History will never forgive people like Amaechi and oshiomole.

What is so gallant about the Nigerian military. If Nigeria was a United States then the military institution would have killed more than 2/3 of the population and would have lost Alaska to Russia Texas to Mexico and Florida to the Cubans without a single gunshot

Ahmeduana:
BECAUSE THE GUY HAVE WHAT YOU LACK IN YOUR UPSTAIR, AND THE GUY THEY THINK WITH HIM BRAIN WHILE YOU THINK WITH YOUR JOYSTICK.

As if you have any meaningful thing in your brain

omohayek:
The true mark of cluelessness is blaming Kemi Adeosun for two areas of policy over which she has no control. It takes real ignorance to blame the finance minister for an FX policy which is actually set by Godwin Emefiele, the head of the CBN; she also had no hand in the NSE's difficulties, as the CEO of the Nigerian Stock Exchange is a man named Oscar N. Onyema.

Then what is her work as a finance minister if she cannot over see government parastatals under her.

vainfairy7474:
such a shame!!!

Go and quote this to awolowo, obasanjo and co and stop suffering from selective Amnesia

How this beauty queen married this guy is what I still can't figure out.

Who or what really is the fallen heroes or sheroes of Nigeria

The first coup seems to be the the most effective and efficient, just 6 majors struck and demobilised the ruling structure.
The second could is not a coup in technicalities but is rather a genocide. Coup and genocide are 2 Different things

ajoguegbe:
Ok more international celebrities you didnt know were Igbos

Bishop T. D Jakes:
In the 2003 PBS program African American Lives, Bishop T.D. Jakes had his DNA analyzed; his Y chromosome showed that he is descended from the Igbo. Read his biography on Wikipaedia.

Forest Whitetaker
Have you ever watched, The Last King of Scotland? The guy that acted as IDI Amin-Forest Whitetaker is a confirmed Igbo man. According to Wikipadia, " Whitaker said that a genetic test indicated he was of Igbo descent through his patrilineal line" On April 6, 2009, he was given a chieftaincy title in Imo State, Nigeria. Whitaker, who was named a chief among the Igbo community of Nkwerre, was given the title Nwannedinamba of Nkwerre, which means A Brother in a Foreign Land.

Please how come all three of them took a picture together, could it be coincidence or the coming together of people of igbo origin which I have often prayed for and imagined.

Igbos who fail to reinvest in the east choosing to put all their eggs in the Lagos basket should expect more than this.
This is only the beginning of the drowning of igbos in the lagoon.
For the umpteenth time igbos should start divesting and investing 50% of their investment in the east, there will be nothing more than appealing to some people of igbos coming to shed crocodile tears of how the lost N20m in demolition of shops and houses.

tsdarkside:
you people have too much hubris...or else you would always think twice....then 30 000 igbos murdered in the north before the civil-war would still be alive today...you started killings in nigeria....fact: yorubas surpass you in population,,,stop loosing your brothers and sisters out of foolishness...

30000 igbos were murdered in the North, how is that a headache to you.
The nation of Israel is less than 10 million people how does that give Nigerian tribes with higher population an advantage over them.
The Jews lost 6 million people in the second world War, how has that diminished their importance when compared to people who did not loose any one.

tsdarkside:
i know after some time your warriors will get too bold,and try to challenge everybody....

Why are you loosing your peace over another man's headache, is it not the same Nigeria army that is busy with boko haram for several months.

And most of the owners of the shops are still in the east on holidays.

Who killed PDP and why was it killed
