Binikingdowm: I'm just done replying nairaland kids, just let them keep wallowing in ignorance.
Don’t mind them, what do they know about Ogbia people
I have attended Ogbia brotherhood meetings, their youth wing and I know everything about them. They are not Ijaw, they know that even the Ijaws know that as well.
adonis89: guy carry ur talk elsewhere . m an IZON man from d Ogbia extraction just like Asari who is an IZON man from d kalabari extraction and Timipre Sylva, an IZON man from Brass. We have similarities in our language
Ijaw and Ogbia don’t have anything in common, except the fact they lived in the same geographical region
If you an Ijaw man as you claimed, you should know this fact. Except you are a lier
nengibo: Ogbia is not and will never be edo or edoid , Ogbia as a language isnt edo or edoid, l to your history the founders of Ogbia are Okoroma and Oloi, both being Ijaw names, so the only way they could have come from Bini is if Benin was filled with people speaking and bearing Ijaw names, there have been men from the ogbia clan like Melford Okilo, king Amakiri, Goodluck Jonathan etc,
Quote from Gej He said: “It’s not just about me but about all the traditional rulers, elders and opinion leaders that are of the Ijaw ethnic nationality. We have been in touch to see that peace reigns in the country. Those of you that have followed my talks when I was here, my emphasis is that we need a United Nigeria and I always emphasize that Nigeria is great not just about the oil. “So many countries produce more oil than Nigeria nobody notices them. We are great because of ou crr size, the human resources we have, the diversity we have, if we fragmentize the country into smalycomponents, we will be forgotten by the World. “That has been my focal position and without peace there canot be development anywhere in the world. We are all working collectively to see that issues are resolved.” http://www.gej.ng/archives/827
I understand that from a tribe that has produced people like anini, the Edo ppl are in search of mentors, don't worry Gej and Izon otu will continue to mentor and carry everybody along
Shut up
The Ogbia people migrated from Benin Kingdom
It is well documented in their history, technically Goodluck Jonathan is an Edo man
NNEWIsuper: inferiority complex and illiteracy de worry u...no tribe in Nigeria is called Edoid, lmao...between (ebele) in jonathan's middle name is igbo , same reason we dominated his government...
Goodluck adopt that middle name to convince you gullible Igbos to vote for him and it works perfectly.
adonis89: 1diot shut up ur mouth, m from Oloibiri and m proudly Ijaw. Useless thread. To hell with your divide and rule tactics. We all belong to IYC. We have similiarities in our dialect. Aziba, Ayiba, they all mean same, padlock is called Igodo both in Nembe. So ur argument is neither here nor there.
Did you acknowledge the truth which I strongly believed you are aware of.
The Ogbia people migrated from Benin Kingdom
Goodluck Jonathan is not an Ijaw man
I lived with Ogbia people for 5 years, I know them
Ecstasy154: The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said it will no longer use cyber cafes for registration of candidates, beginning from the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
JAMB’s Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, said this on Thursday on the sideline of a meeting with proprietors of Computer Based Test (CBT) centres at the University of Lagos.
“We are no longer going to allow the cyber cafes to do the registration exercise for prospective candidates because they are extorting candidates and overcharging them.
“They also do services they do not have the capacity to do, coupled with the fact that there was no way of tracking them because they were not registered.
“Another major reason is the mix-up they create on the data of the candidates. Some will just ask the candidates to write their names and other details down for them.
“On accumulating such data, they now get all of them mixed-up, thereby creating problems for these candidates.
“We know there will be uproar because they make a lot of illegitimate money from these services, but we cannot leave the candidates at their mercy.
“Particularly when people will make noise that it is JAMB that was extorting them,’’ he said. The professor urged all prospective candidates to do their registration and access the board’s major services in any of its 718 accredited centres in the country.
Oloyede said the board would commence the sale of the registration form on Jan.3, 2019 and would span six weeks.
He gave the assurance that the general elections would not affect the sale of forms, adding that the board had adjusted its examination schedule ahead of the election.
“We thank INEC for giving us an early notice and so, it is expected that the exercise will be hitch-free,’’ he said.
He told news men that as always the case, there were special centres for visually impaired candidates.
He added that the board was already considering the introduction of a new technology for smooth conduct of the examination for such candidates.
“Next week, some of our officials will be in the United Kingdom where all the assessment bodies, who are attending to the blind, will meet.
“They will meet with a view to finding the best technology to use for these special candidates at a better price, because of the exchange rate.
“However, those with Braille machines, they are available; we will give them and those who do not have, we want to encourage them, whatever best method available to us, we will deploy because we want to be as inclusive as possible.
“That is also why we have set up a committee of experts under Prof. Peter Okebukola, to look for all-inclusive methods to be able to attend and bend it to suit the purposes of all these peculiar candidates,’’ he said.
Earlier, while addressing the CBT proprietors, Oloyede warned that the board would not tolerate any JAMB-related materials in all the centres, especially question papers, as most often turned out to be fake, thereby duping innocent candidates.
He said that JAMB would also not hesitate to blacklist any centre that attempted to undermine the integrity of its examination through infractions.
“JAMB will continue to partner with you, empower good CBT centres to do things properly, as all essential services will henceforth be done by our good CBT centres.
“But to whom much is given, much is expected and so as we restrict services to you, you will be rewarded accordingly.
“But that does not stop there, as we will also beam our searchlight by tracking you also, to ensure that you remain in the right track,’’ the registrar said.
He noted that make-shift CBT centres too would not be allowed, adding that the board normally conducted an all year round examination for parastatals and agencies, and candidates for tertiary institutions.
“Do not pack up your centres and convert it to another thing, after the UTME, because we can come at any time for inspection,’’ he said.
Oloyede said that all the CBT centres must ensure that the dual screen registration process was followed strictly and ensure that candidates sign out by doing a thumb print that would ensure that data was uploaded and printed. (NAN)
kotv: Trump is a business man and a racist. He does not care if they clear out Nigeria. As far as we're black, that racist fool will sell anything to anymore without caring about how it'll be used. A USA citizen was murdered by the Saudi government. Just because he's Muslim and his family originated from Saudi Arabia, that racist fool marked his murder was irrelevant and continued his business with the Saudi Arabia. Don't expect anything from that racist
Shut up
That stupid journalist writing rubbish about Trump all the time in Washington Post is not a US citizen
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has been in the fore-front campaigning for the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket in the 2019 presidential election. He was cornered last week by journalists during the peace meeting held with aggrieved aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Marina, where he spoke on his involvement in the campaign to re-elect President Muhammadu Buhari. TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI brings the excerpts:
The 2019 Presidential election is fast approaching and with due respect to other candidates, it looks like a two-horse race between the APC candidate and incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari and the PDP Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. You have been in the forefront of campaigning for Buhari and why he deserves a second term. Can you tell us why you think Buhari should be given another term as President?
Just to be very clear, as an average Nigerian, not necessarily as a Governor now, I will pitch my tent with, endorse and vote President Muhammadu Buhari in this forthcoming Presidential elections on the basis that having crosschecked all the presidential candidates, I believe at this auspicious time in this country, the right person that can actually take us to the next level and the next trajectory of the prosperity and progress of Nigeria is President Muhammadu Buhari and I am very clear about what I am saying.
Apart from the fact that he has been President in the last three and half years, he has also been Head of State in the military era. But again, if you cross check all the other candidates, most especially the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), when you put both of them on a weigh balance, there is one that has integrity more than the other, there is one that is more passionate about Nigeria and Nigerians, most especially the poor than the other. So, if the question comes on why we are voting for Buhari, it is on the basis of integrity, on the basis of somebody who is passionate of which those two values are values that I also cherish and practice as the Governor of Lagos State. It is very clear that we are just like like-minds and I will obviously engage Nigerians that those two values are the values that can bring prosperity to Nigeria. You need a lot of character; somebody that has character is likely to create an enabling environment that can make this country to progress. But beyond character and integrity, you can see that in the last three and half years, we have made fundamental preparation to push this economy to its positive trajectory and that’s what President Muhammadu Buhari has been trying to do and Nigerians don’t understand.
If you have cumulative 16 years of disruptive infrastructural tendencies, there is no way one single tenure can allow a corrective measure of the infrastructural deficit, you have to create that environment to allow you to do that. Let me give one simple example. Today, we are having the reconstruction of the Apapa/Oshodi Expressway being taken on by President Muhammadu Buhari. This particular expressway which is more or less the nerve centre to the economy of this country has never been touched in the last 40 years. Of this 40 years, 16 years of PDP was inclusive. Within three and half years, we have been very bold and very adamant that you need to rehabilitate the Apapa axis for you to be able to push the economy of Nigeria forward because anything that happens around the Lagos economy has a positive trajectory to the nation’s economy as a whole. So, it’s very clear, if you see a government that decides that and says that, look, even in these years of abandonment, decades of abandonment, they want to take on this whole issue, knowing well that in another two to three years, it would be delivered, so they need to monitor it, giving it back to those who abandoned it is not a good course to run. When you look at the reconstruction of the Niger Bridge, it’s been on for the last four decades also, these are fundamental infrastructure. So it gives you more or less a very clear mind what this government of Buhari will do if he is taking on fundamental things that would push the economy forward. All we need is to support him and also make a whole lot of economic technocrats available to rally round him and take this country to the next level.
So, if you move away from infrastructure and you are looking at investment in agriculture, a very clear example is LAKE Rice, it was just to prove a point that we can do local production of our own rice and project our own revenue of which the FG and of which President Buhari has been critically supportive of. So, we just need additional one or two years to allow us to do that and then importation of rice would become a thing of the past.
When you look at things that have to do with inclusive governance, you know all these TraderMoni and allowing SMEs to have access to interest free loans is what you mean by inclusive governance. PDP never did that for 16 years, so why will you now say the PDP candidate is coming to do inclusive governance? There are therefore clear examples why we must all rally round President Muhammadu Buhari and give him that second term for him to be able to consolidate on all the things that are very dear to us; the things that would grow the GDP of Nigeria, the things that would enable the poor to have access and create more jobs and also allow the economy to move forward and in terms of what we have in fiscal and monetary rates and policy, it is important that those are the things that the President just needs from Nigerians to be able to push this country forward and that’s why anytime any day, the candidature of President Muhammadu Buhari is the best option for Nigeria right now.
President Buhari in 2015 campaigned on the basis of improving the security situation in Nigeria especially in the North East. How well do you feel he has fared on this front especially with the recent unpalatable reports of attacks and skirmishes in some parts of the country?
Security is the number one achievement of this present government of President Buhari. When he came into power in 2015, the security situation in the North East was not what it is now. Look, people might want to be politically funny and trying to create stories from nothing, but the truth is that what we had in 2015 and the relative peace we are experiencing in 2018 in the North East are totally two different things. This 2015 security crisis was handed over by the PDP to the Buhari administration. Against all odd the country had regained lost territories and the enemies have been pushed out. There is relative peace in the North East and the truth is that Lagos, of which I govern, is the most secured city in Africa right now. Is it possible for me to do it alone? Of course it’s through the support and assistance of President Muhammadu Buhari. So, if there is anybody that is ever going to talk about security, the peace that we are enjoying and the protection of lives and property in Lagos is a reflection of the Federal Government’s desire to keep Lagos safe. So I am going to urge all Nigerians to continue to stick with the All Progressives Congress and the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, because in terms of security, within the context of what we met and what we have now, Nigeria has been peaceful and in order to sustain that, you need to keep that government in power and that’s the more reason why we should vote for Buhari in this coming election. https://www.independent.ng/buhari-best-option-for-nigeria-right-now-ambode/
Galaxyowerri: In the UK yesterday, there were calls for the prime minister, Theresa May to resign because some people in the UK are not happy with the way she is handling the brexit, same thing is happening to Macron in France over something as little as increment of diesel price!!! But in Nigeria, an old man who has failed in all ramifications still has the effrontery to be going for reelection and as if that is not enough madness already, there are still some re.tar.ded people who are still supporting him!!
On what basis is Buhari going for reelection in the light of all his failures??
Nigerians are some of the worst citizens any country can have and it is not a surprise that we have become the world's capital of poverty, diseases, illiteracy, deaths etc and this is because both the government and the citizens are grossly irresponsible.
If only a fraction of all these madness were to happen in sane climes, the president would have long resigned or forced to do so but here he is still on his seat like nothing is happening and is even going for reelection and promising them next level Next level of what please If the current level is this bad, how will the next level be
IT SULKS TO BE A NIGERIAN!!!!!
Blacks are the most stu.pid humans on earth.
They support him because of tribe and religion
Yoruba because their son is VP
Hausa and Fulani because their son is the president.
I have finally come to a conclusion that blacks are subhuman.

dukie25: We now rely on foreign press to tell us what is actually happening in our own country. Shameful.
This news is coming from the dailymail UK, just like the previous one we got from Reuters.
Nigerian press are complicit in the news blackout of the goings on in the north east? I'm beginning to think Buhari shared the $1billion with newspaper owners instead of using it for weapon procurement.
spiceadole: He thought It in Nigeria where a man can raped and kill a lady, get away with it and nobody will do anything except blaming the lady for hanging out with man for money.
I don’t think he killed her�
