Are you not tired of tribalism yet?. Kaduna is not an hausa state and they clearly deported hausas back to hausa states. Tribalism will kill Nigeria.

Must you inject tribe?


Lagos is a state, not a tribe. Kaduna is a state, not a tribe. 


And opining observation and tribalism are 2 different things.


Ease up on the tribal trigger happy and paranoia sentiments sometimes.

We should be able to air our views and opinions without baseless and unnecessary labels and accusations.

I wonder why  NLers are not fuming and going bunkers, maybe because this story no emanate from Lagos state.


Anyways, make I comot go eat my amala.

Absolutely nothing to criticize here.


Unfortunately, criticizing anything and everything naija just for the heck of it is fast becoming a fad.

One more time,


I stand by every word, counter or keep quiet.

I'm not falling for your racism nonsense bait so find some other BS to hop on,

Gibberish and delusional rubbish as usual,

You're free to spin and break it down to your level of understanding and comfort.


I stand by every word, counter or keep quiet.

I clarified that already so quit jumping. The keyword is leaders, not necessarily elected leaders. 

Let me repeat myself one more time?


Specifically, what did your local leaders do to save his life?  I didn't say anything about the international community.

Quoting ambiguous and irrelevant  financial numbers is mute and redundant simply because it has nothing to do with mismanagement, looting, stealing, incompetency and share neglect in the delta. You guys can not always sweep the bad including  folks like Ibori and alamco under the carpet while continuously pointing fingers and blaming other people.  Be honest with yourself and to the discussion.

I welcome great educational performance by kids all over Nigeria but please, post your kidnapping result numbers by numbers if you gonna brag about it and excuse incompetency and neglect in the region.

States are equipped with more than enough power to promulgate and enforce environmental laws. Ignorance of responsibilities and obligations is no excuse, other states are doing it so what's your point besides defending and excusing bad behavior and blind ethnicism. This is your state/land and you have legal tools at your disposal to protect it.


Shell got sued.

Shell ponied up 15 million bucks

Shell didn't say the land they were accused of destroying belongs to the feds,not ogoni land so no culpability

Shell didn't say Ken was not from Ogoni land so they ain't responsible.

Seriously, I don't get you guys. what really is your point? We all know looting, stealing, mismanagement and dereliction of duty is a sad way of life all over our dear country, including the delta.

Why is it so hard for you guys to accept known truth and understanding?

We all criticize and bad mouth shenanigans in other parts of the country so lets quit the silly defensiveness and highlight the same shortcomings in our backyards.


Now, please tell me Ibori didn't loot the delta dry

Tell me alams didn't loot the delta dry

Tell me how many schools, hospitals, roads alams and ibori collectively built and commissioned?


Oh I forgot, it's the feds Job.

Negro please,

I'll take that back because the key word here is leaders, not necessarily elected officials.


Now please tell me what they did to save his life?.

Also, who stole your allocations? the feds or your leaders?

Who refused to educate your kids? the feds or your leaders?

Who refused to protect your environmental? the feds or your leaders?

So ND people killed Saro Wiwa too? Jesus!

Feel free to spin as much as you want, what ever makes you snore louder at night.

Tell me precisely what your elected officials did to save his life.  


I wrote more than that, but as usual, deception and  factual fraud dey bother you,

I truly pity babapupa for not realising that Saro Wiwa was the most powerful leader in the ND when he was executed by the FG in collussion with big oil. I really pity such ignorance. Nobody was more peaceful or intellectual than Saro Wiwa, there was no greater respecter of life. Nigeria got kicked out of the Common Wealth for that crime.

The Ignorance is obviously the other way around. Sounds like you're hallucinating too.

Are we debating Ken's peaceful  nature or the fact that delta region leaders didn't raise a finger when he was getting railroaded, instead, they colluded to have him killed. He got killed because his justified and rightful activism was disrupting environmental desegregation, your leaders and the fed's free flow of stolen crude and money."

We all know the wider Niger Delta issue is recognized as a shameful humanitarian crisis, it is also recognized as a mismanaged region full of corrupt elected officials and sons of the soil. That; you can not run away from or sweep under the carpet.

The feds are not gonna tie your shoes for you or tell you how to build roads, clinics, schools and hospitals with your money, that's the responsibility of your elected officials.

Delta region leaders are the most prolific looters in Nigeria,


Ibori is from the same region right?

Alamco is from the same region right?

Odili is from the same region right?

And Timipreye Silva is equally corrupt,


You really don't sound to me like an honest person, you've brainwashed your self into thinking and believing that all the ills in the delta leads to Abuja and the delta region is leaderless. Also that money/resources stolen by the likes of Ibori and Alams doesn't belong to the people of the delta and they don't have to account for it. They don't have to lift a finger to protect their people and environment, they don't have to build schools and hospitals, it's all the evil federal government's fault/Job.

Yeah, only daft, disingenuous and dangerous people blames just the feds for the problems in the delta.

How clever! They can't touch the oil wells or flow stations, but they can "enforce" anti-pollution laws. You are the one obvious person on NL that hates ND people (and it shows), so without fail you come up with all sorts of weird and madcap ideas.

Death sentences? "Shell pays out $15.5m over Saro-Wiwa killing" http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jun/08/nigeria-usa
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/92632

Your other comment above was too ridiculous for me to expend energy on.

You're quit to jump on and criticize other states and their leaders when they do wrong (Tho' sometimes your criticisms are baseless and without foundation) but will do anything to defend obvious BS and shameful practices by elected officials and other misguided people in the delta. 


Unnecessary defensiveness and blind ethnicism  by any means necessary is dangerous and counter productive. You are not helping yourself, your are not helping your people and Nigeria in general.


Do you hate other states when you point out their shortcomings? You're making no damn sense.


Ken (RIP) was not a lawmaker, he didn't have law making and enforcement capabilities, he was not the CEO of any state so it was easy for the government and the oil comps to get to him and your local leaders didn't say or do anything to save Ken because they were all complicit, they were part of the system that killed Ken, they were all in the pockets of the oil comps.


One more time, each state in Nigeria has law making and enforcement capabilities and as pointed out, other states are doing it, Delta leaders are not doing it because they are on the take and they always have been. They just don't give a sh*t.

That's just the sad truth my friend. Deal with it!!

You're beginning to sound like an attention seeking alarmist. You did the same thing with Tinubu the other day by changing the Title of the news article.

Questioning a dead man's religion is a new depth and shameful low. Use your best judgment and pull yourself back sometimes.

Respect a dead man's wish and quit the foolishness.

Just got back to into the UK from Houston and LA. Those places never cease to amaze me. The road networks there are excellent. Flyovers and roads that are several hundred metres above ground level. . . with several levels of roads above each other. . .

Our leaders are just idiots. They travel to these places everyday and do not learn anything. After enjoying the comfort and beauty of the US infrastructure, they come back to Nigeria to terrorize the poor citizens on our narrow death traps called roads. Its a shame, a big shame

There's a reason why they have endless freeways in houston, well, that's a different story,


In Nigeria, we have no business building our roads with asphalt. Just like in Nigeria, it  rains a lot in Houston so they build their roads and bridges with concrete.

If you think that Bayelsa can somehow go and start fixing oil wells or digging around flow stations, its either you're being mischievious, wicked or are just plain dull. Perhaps you don't even know that the oil companies are powerful enough to pass death sentences with impunity.

Please stop the deception, that's not what they're asking them to do. It is not their job to fix oil wells but it is their job to pass and enforce anti pollution laws. They have the power to fine and or lock up offending comps and we all know the reason why they're not doing it, they are simply in the pockets of the oil comps at the expense of delta folks.


lol @ Pass death sentences, e get as e be with your thinking and sense of rationalization sometimes.

Your argument is ridiculous.

All oil operations are owned 60% by the FG. Can Bayelsa give the FG an ultimatum?

The companies in Lagos aren't owned by the FG. You are quick to label people dumb and clueless, but you're showing little grasp of the situation on the ground.

Quit the absurdities. It is still the state's job to draft and enforce environmental laws. Obviously, you and the leaders in the delta have little or no knowledge per your enshrined legal capabilities.





New Lagos Model City Law Compounds Federal Secretariat Crisis.


While the landowners claimed that the land upon which the property is built was surrendered decades ago on the basis of its use for overriding public interest and should rightly revert to them if such use was no longer for the public, state officials argue that federal officials and the owners of the property must to go through a certain planning and development process before the intended transformation can even be considered for approval

http://happylagosian..com/2009/05/new-lagos-model-city-law-compounds.html

State governments have no business cleaning up pollutioning FG concerns. There is zero merit to that argument.

Has Bayelsa changed? Believe me, it is almost dramatic.
However doesn't say the mansion is a good idea; even the governor himself didn't sound too sure of that; except that he was completing a project that was started by ALAMs (and which the current VP steered clear off). So, time alone will tell.

There are strong arguments on both sides.

Always making silly excuses for kinsmen sake.

But it is the state's job to design, pass and enforce environmental laws, they're are either dumb, clueless, incompetent or just don't give a shit about what they're charged and took oaths to do.

Other states are doing it. Just go to Lagos and see what fashola is doing with LASEPA and their environmental laws, even local governments in Lagos enacting laws to protect their environment.

Pollution: LASEPA gives companies14-day ultimatum

Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to all companies operating in the state to submittheir Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) or have their companies shut down.

NIMASA, LASEPA to trail vessels in Lagos dumping operation
By Seye Olumide

AN apparently clandestine operation involving extensive discharge of oil sludge through unmarked vessels into coastal waters has apparently been thriving close to the Snake Island area of Apapa in Lagos.

http://omi-gbigbonacollective..com/2008/07/nimasa-lasepa-to-trail-vessels-in-lagos.html

If Tinubu installed Fashola, don't you think he will somehow pay him back with contracts?. Nothing in this life is for free, you know.

I see your point. @ the same time, label me gullible if you must, I don't picture Fashola dolling out state funds, contracts and perpetrating corrupt practices because he took over from an alleged embezzler.

So far, I have no reason to smear or throw dirt at Fashola.

Tinubu sure 419'ed Lagosians with that Sunburn deal and I'm sure  Fashola is staying away from it for a reason.


Well, Fashola is a practical and reasonable man, he'll come up with some kind of use for it.

Dumb ass southerners,


These clowns up north got their game wrapped tight. They are in effect running the same regional government they're campaigning against. They're administering the north like a regional entity and they speak with one voice, they do whatever the heck they want while yeye southerners dey play bystanders. There's nothing like northern states, the north is basically a self ruled region.

They are playing us like mumu,

lol @ made for NL sensationalism.

The news article was titled "FG, UK at loggerheads over Tinubu, Ibori, Attah" but you disingenuously ran to NL just to bait with your own twisted and made up sensationalized title.



Una no go kill pesin sef with this overplayed  puerile stuff

Delta people know the cause of their problems. Hint; no one has ever seen Governor Sylva drilling oil, neither does Bayelsa own oil wells. . . Laughable The FG owns 60% of all oil concessions, the other 40% is held by oil companies; Bayelsa gets a monthly stipend of $30 million like any other state.

They wouldn't find any use for your sort of narrow minded thoughts and suggestions.

Lets keep to Bayelsa state.

You still dey lie to yourself.

How do you justify blowing up innocent people while your leaders dey blow money on useless and non productive ugly monstrosities?


Btw, delta states allocation for last July was like 9 billion. (90 million Dollars).

And Bayelsa's dropped from like 10 billion to 4 billion (40 million dollars/silva dey pocket 10 million) because of militant activities.

Unfortunately for MEND and other violent elements in the delta, sometimes when you tink say you dey hurt other people, your people go suffer too. Not MEND of course, I heard they're laughing their ways to the bank with dead innocent Nigerians blood on their hands.

AT LEAST YOU DONT SEE THE PEOPLE OF BAYELSA COMPLAINING!

But they do blow up/kill/slaughter fellow Nigerians for their leaders and other people's transgressions.

Innocent people died @ Atlas Cove.

I am not defending anybody, I am merely saying that we shouldn't always see the worst in everything. Are the people of Bayelsa not deserving of such a monument or is that exclusive priviledge only reserved for Abuja?
Go anywhere in the world, the quickest way to regenerate an area is through the built environment. I'm praying that similar regeneration can take place in Ajegunle.

This your come back is even worse.

You don take poll around the delta to ascertain that the delta folks will rather have this meaningless waste of tax payers resources instead of meaningful projects like schools, libraries, clinics, hospitals and jobs?

Of what use is your so called worthy monument when your people are lacking common basics and life's necessities?

Is this what  MEND is needlessly slaughtering innocent Nigerians for?

Your thinking get more than K-leg.

I really hope it's a joke because this is nothing but madness.

CNN are Wrong, dem dey talk lie. Gloryland Castle is a state tourism project. The house doesn't belong to Sylva.


"Our plan is to dove-tail the Gloryland Castle into the wider vision of Yenagoa of the immediate future, which will be a showpiece city for all Nigerians and the rest of the world to come and enjoy life with a lot to see,” he explained.

Why are you defending the indefensible? Like Alamco said, "I did it to show that it can be done" not because the good people of the delta go benefit.

lol @ tribalists screaming tribalism. who 1st mention tribalism inside this thread.


Is it a secrete that there are bad leaders in every corner of naija and what's so bad about stating obvious facts like simply because of tribal affiliations, people point fingers at other people and Ignore and excuse rotten and bad leaders in their own backyards?


We like deceive ourselves too much sha,

These guys are dumb and unsophisticated illiterates anyways,

Medic abducted during surgery

Print print Email email Share Share


A medical doctor, Charles Attah, was, on Tuesday, kidnapped while performing an appendectomy at the Aku General Hospital in Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State.

An eye-witness told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu that Attah's kidnappers stormed the hospital on Sunday in a Peugeot car and picked him unchallenged.

The witness said the kidnappers, who were dressed in suits, shot sporadically on arrival to scare people before taking their victim who was performing the operation on a female patient.
When contacted, the Enugu Police Command's Spokesman, Mr Ebere Amaraizu, said he was yet to receive details of the incident from the Igbo-Etiti Police Division.

He said, however, that the police had intensified efforts to combat incidences of kidnapping in the state.

No comment!!!

I am enraged, very angry that the moderator of this forum would allow some imbeciles to be calling one of the leaders in this country a gorilla. I am real real outraged that people from other race (tribe) can be depicting someone from my Yoruba race as a gorila and the forum moderators allow this to carry on.

Do you know that this man has children?
Anyway for all of you that depict this man as a gorilla na your papa and mama be gorilla.

Imagine if a Yoruba guy start calling an Igbo, Nigerdelta or Hausa leader names, this forum will be jammed by the ignorant Yoruba haters for unnecessary and silly comparison (you will even be luck if you are not cut off, like they cut me off), but because it's Yoruba they are doing it to, Yes it can stand is that not so?.

You can abuse Obasanjo as much as you like, but if you don't want the curses of elders come on you on and your family please stop calling him gorilla.

It beats me why this thread still dey stand.

Na so I receive PM from  one NL mod talking about some tribal nonsense, Obviously he's  was being disingenuous, bias, blind or just failed to look at the threads on the main board and the hate filled tribal contents. They only notice when you answer back.

And these people are so thin skin that den go run straight to mods the minute you begin respond.

aboki, stop getting paranoid and delusional, you'll be alright

you for don tell the bobo say you won become his aboki instead of fabricating fake racist outrage just to get his attention.

I hope you're happy now since you don become his aboki, lmao.

of all people, beaf too dey call pesin racist, wonders shall never end. lmao.
