valentineuwakwe: true talk my governor....you are well grounded..Lagos state is growing n thanks to ur vision. ...indeed the hand shake across the niger will work this time around..
If yi bos don't get over ambitious with their foolish sentiment and moral inconsistency. Lets wait and see if it will trully last.
Threebear: She gets lots of opportunities due to her father's influence and squanders them all. A talented person with half the opportunities that have been bequeathed to this girl would have been bigger than wizkid. Mtchew!
Nonsense anybody can achieve this and more if you work hard and do not put money first against passion and fear of God. No wonder yorubas the only people keeping Nigeria one in good fate are progressing light years ahead of the wannabe empty noise makers.
whether you like it or not this will not erase the fact that all yi bos are criminals and can never do clean work. trying to force it on others will not remove the obvious. Lobatan.
PrettyCrystal: There is tension in Benue State Commissioner following the gruesome killing of seven Fulanis who were lynched and burnt by irate youths in Gboko area of Benue State on Wednesday (yesterday). Multiple reports have it that soldiers have been deployed today from Abuja to Gboko, Benue State after crisis.
The victims were said to be travelling either to Okene in Kogi State or Taraba State when criminals attacked, killed and burnt them to ashes.
Troops have currently stationed themselves in the region in order to prevent any reprisal attack.
An eye for an eye makes everyone blind. This is really tragic. This is what happens when government does not act when killings are perpetrated with impunity and government pretend nothing is happening. Anachy is slowly creaping into the north and the government playing ostrich with everyone's life must be alert that it does not lose absolute control of the country. Lobatan.
Farmers, Miyetti Allah and Traditional Rulers in Imo state have signed an agreement in Imo state that the owners of farms destroyed by Herdsmen will be duly compensated.
The pact was signed at a meeting held at the Imo state Police command on Monday. The meeting was fruitful as it was also agreed that there would be compensation for herdsmen if any cattle was killed. The Imo state commissioner of police, Ezike Chris presided over the meeting.
Giving remarks, He said;
"We have agreed that our mechanism at the local government level comprises of the chairman of the constitution committee, the DPO, officer in charge of SSS, traditional rulers, representatives of the farmers and herders.
That the committee should be strengthened in the twenty-seven local government areas in the state so that they will be able to receive reports of incidents and try to solve those problems. That the police and other security agencies should redouble their efforts in identifying these herders of unknown origin who operate especially around Okigwe area, find out whether they are coming in from Abia or Enugu. To ensure that criminal offenses are committed that they dealt with according to the law.
We also agreed that the issue of justice and fair play will always come into being. The cattle is not a person. Cattle is an animal and it must always be an animal.
In case cattle strays into farms and destroys farms the committees at the local level must ensure justice is done through appropriate competition. If farmers or any other person go to kill cattle, the committee should also look into it and ensure that justice is done, the moment justice is done to both wings there will be peace in the area.
Ohaji/Egbema was mentioned to be a safe haven for herders. Incidentally, the area has been carved out as a new area command."
Chairman of Miyetti Allah, Audi Diko also tendered an apology to farmers in the state over the destruction of their farms by Herdsmen.
historyworld031: You are a little bit retarded. Bendel was not liberated by "yoruba gallant soldiers". The situation was a civil war and there were Edo, yoruba, haussa and all in the federal army. Murtala Mohamed and Ogbemudia were the military officers in charge and none of them is yoruba. What do you even mean by "Edo are denying yoruba" ? What is there to deny ? I am asking myself who keeps brainwashing you yoruba ? Edo have never been yoruba and never will be, nomatter how you rewrite your "history". As if their is anything special to edo than crime and olosho abeg commot if you no get anything to say. History will soon be rewriten the ijaws will soon show you who is the boss.

Yoruba people hard working and dedicated well organised .....Until the biafrans come with them yamayama. Its a shame our leaders who supposed to maintain the tempo were austracized and killed for nothing. This can be brought back by the omoluabis if they become resolute and remain focused. Stop relying on Nigeria that is on a one way journey to failure because of greed among all players.
South West must flush out these herders sharp sharp they must not be allowed to come back. We can survive without their kwashiokor cattle through importation of good breeds of cattle and creating omoluabi runned cattle ranches that exclude these murderers.
Is it that these people don't care about human life? They kill people at will and without pity. What a people...
Buhari if you can't protect these people, let them create their own country...cos I'm not sure you are their president..I seriously doubt that.
Tell them! tell them! Omoluabi tell them. Yorubas don't hate they only want a fare share of the Nigeria fro the good of all but look at what we have. Crooks and evil people whom Yorubas will work hard for only to turn round like dogs, that they are, to bite. We have lost so many forward looking leaders(Chief Awolowo, Mko Abiola, Baba Rewane...etc) that hausa/Fulani and Igbos especially have betrayed in their regular trade mark. We overlook serious matters in the name of one Nigeria and small, small these negative people continue to encroach on everything that make us egalitarian and as people of valour. It is a shame even mare edo people will have the effontry to deny Yoruba because of jealousy, forgetting how the Yoruba gallant soldiers liberate their sorry arses from the usurpers from Biafra land. Yorubas have to really think because we stand to lose even more than what we've lost in the past if we continue this way. My five cent.
benben1000: Yoruba let go of this evil country you are holding onto so that all these manmade problems will stop. These useless accidents happening across the country will not stop until this cancer of a country is divided so that we can properly take care if ourselves. Is it 50yrs enough to attest that things will never get better.
Tell them! tell them! Omoluabi tell them. Yorubas don't hate they only want a fare share of the Nigeria for the good of all but look at what we have.

Wikinaija: Roads rehabilitation gulps N480m As Anambra declares work-free day for funeral Tony Okafor, Awka
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, has said President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to giving a former Vice President, late Dr. Alex Ekwueme, a befitting burial.
Ngige spoke on Sunday at Ekwueme’s hometown in Oko, Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State after inspecting facilities for the burial of the late VP.
He said Buhari had committed about N1bn on Ekwueme from the day the Federal Government took over his medical bills to date.
While saying that road rehabilitation alone in Anambra State and neighbouring communities of Imo and Abia states in preparation for Ekwueme’s burial had gulped about N480m, Ngige said Federal Government was not leaving anything to chances in ensuring that the Ekwueme family enjoys the role their late patriarch played in building a better Nigeria
He said, “You know that I belong to the Ekwueme family; I’m part of that family.
“I’m in various committees and subcommittees for the burial of this great statesman. I can tell you authoritatively that Mr President (Buhari) is committed and passionate in ensuring a befitting burial for Ekwueme.
“If he doesn’t come for the burial himself, I’m sure the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, will be here for the burial as a matter of right.
“So, I’m here to inspect the facilities in preparation for his burial; and I can tell you that I’m satisfied with the progress of work.
“The Federal Government is doing rehabilitation works on Amawbia/Ekwulobia road, up to Uga and Akokwa in Imo State.
“We’re also doing road rehabilitation on Oko/Umunze road up to Ibinta in Abia State.
“I know the cost of all this, not less than N480m.
“The Federal Government is building the mausoleum, which will contain a modern library and other facilities and I also know the cost of that too.
“And remember that the Federal Government took up all the medical bills of flying him abroad and bringing him back to Nigeria from London upon his death.
“The cost of hiring an air ambulance is not a joke. So, Buhari has honoured this Igbo son in all ramifications.
“He has committed not less than a billion naira in this project because he is passionate about it,” Ngige stated.
The Minister added that the Federal Government was considering naming a national monument after Ekwueme to immortalise him.
Similarly, the Anambra State Government has commenced works on internal roads in Oko and environs, preparatory for the burial.
Briefing reporters, a Senior Special Adviser to Governor Willie Obiano on Inter-Party matters, Chief Ben Obi, said a virgin four-kilometre road had been created in the area for easy movement during the funeral.
He said parking bays had been created in about six points, where shuttles would be provided to ferry mourners to the funeral venue, while St Mary’s Catholic Church, Oko, playground would serve as a helipad for the Vice President’s visit.
Meanwhile, the Anambra State Government has declared Thursday this week as a work-free day.
In a public service announcement by the Secretary to the Anambra State Government, Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, all markets and businesses in the state would be closed on that day.
The announcement read in part, “As part of the funeral arrangements for the late Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Dr. Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme (GCON), Anambra State Government hereby announces that … Thursday, February 1st, 2018 is work-free day in Anambra State.
“All markets and businesses will be closed on that day to enable Ndi Anambra, friends, associates and well wishers to pay our last respect to the late Vice President.
“All those attending the commendation ceremony, including various social, cultural, religious, political, professional, educational, market men and women, and all other groups are to be seated by 10am prompt.”
Born October 21,1932, Ekwueme died on Sunday 19th November 2017 at a London hospital
He served as first elected Vice President of Nigeria from 1979 to 1983 under a former President, Shehu Shagari.

adeblow: Climate change may be blamed for shrinking of fadama areas which reduces vegetation in those zones, even if I don't support PMB, this statement may not be far from the truth
You have not seen anything yet. The Bible, the living word of God warns about what will happen to lands where the blood of innocent are shed with impunity. Now when the result of their violence begins to manifest, they want cattle colonies. This is madness that must not be allowed in yoruba land and other federations except north where these animal humans belong.
...omoluabi is uncommon you may spell it wrongly as you wish na ya wahala. We know that this matter is not false claim or drug business of the flat worms I mean flat ones.
zoedew: President Buhari is a clannish President and therefore ill-suited to govern Nigeria not to talk of having a second term! Ranching is the solution but he pretends not to know that!#BuhariResign
No wonder Nigerians rejected this bigot tribalist severally until GEJ worst presidency really offend the sensibility of Nigerians for them to make an erroneous decision. Buhari no second time to a bigot like GEJ.
That is why this formula of turn by turn North and South rotational presidency is dead on arrival. It's a pity that this archaic system has gone a long way to foist useless unqualified individuals on Nigeria and its people. The way forward, re-engineering of the entire constitution, the judiciary and retwicking of existing laws and the reorganising of the legislative arm of government. Burning issues such as restructuring, war against indiscipline, corruption, nepotism, tribalism, unemployment, ...must be pursued with renewed vigor. It is then that Nigerians can realistically say they will begin to enjoy the dividend of democracy. Easier said than done, in Nigeria today with so much decadent, as we see today that will be threaten to quickly undo these good plan as fast as they are rolled out. It then usher in an alternative for each regions of the federation to resort to self determination in order to desengaged without a war and if greedy north wishes to go their violent way tbe rest of the federated unit must unit to deal with this vamins. Lobatan.
.....and why the our in the story? Talk for your myopic self. Abeg why Nigerians like jumping from frying pan to fire sef? This guy has nothing to offer than corruption and mal-administration.
Rochas2023: When North finally learns kidnapping from the South
That is how bad Yi bos are to the collective health of Nigeria...... only good at one thing crime. Igbos started this wicked crime in Nigeria and pass it on to their wicked brothers in crime the northerners.
THE operatives of the Federal Special Anti Robbery Squad (FSARS) have arrested a staff member of a new generation bank, Christian Amechi, who allegedly helped fraudsters to steal millions of naira from customers account using a string of impersonators.
Amechi, who until his arrest, was serving at the ATM customers service unit, of the bank in Victoria Island Lagos, is currently being detained at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Lagos State Police Command.
He was arrested penultimate Wednesday along with five other members of the syndicate. Together, the gang had allegedly removed over N20 million from accounts belonging to different customers.
Those who were arrested along with Christian are Oyozoje Joseph, 30, Nelson Matthew Eugari, Henry Omogbemi, 31, and Ene Mona Gabriel.
Luck ran against the banker after the police team arrested the leader of a gang of pickpockets, Akeem Apejoye, in Lagos. In his confessional statement, the pickpocket told the police how Amechi and his gang encouraged him to continue to steal phones.
Akeem told the police that the gang’s interest is mainly the SIM cards of stolen phones.
After his arrest, he led the police to the homes of those who had been collecting SIM cards from him.
Though, he denied that he was not in the know that Amechi and his group used the SIM card to steal money from the accounts of customers, he said that the group often bought drinks for him at beer parlour joints whenever he ran into them.
He said that they all grew up in Ajegunle and that he enjoyed being in the company of the gang members, particularly at weekends.
“I used the proceeds which I made from picking pockets to open a boutique in Ajegunle. My shop is located along Ojo Road,” Akeem told the police.
Narrating how his gang removed several millions of naira from victims account, Amechi said that all that was needed for the illegal transfer to succeed was the customer’s SIM card, stressing that any account holder who does online transaction has his or her BVN number stored on his or her phone.
“I grew up in Ajegunle and I know almost all members of the gang. I knew them on the street, but I was introduced into the business by one of my friends known as Osey Boy and DJ. I attended the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, (UNN). I read Banking and Finance. I am an ATM card system analyst.
“Osey Boy and DJ are referred to as the gang “shooters”. What it means is that they could remove bank secret code numbers, particularly the BVN from phones. The moment any member of the gang laid his hand on stolen SIM card, they would dial the USSD number and with this they would access the owner’s BVN. That is if the owner does online banking. Once this is done, they will send me the six last digits with which I could access the owner’s account.
My job is to ascertain how much is in the account and at times help transfer money to the person who provided me the information. The gang could then transfer at least N200,000 per transaction into their own account from where they will have easy access to the stolen funds.
“The gang pays me between N10,000 to N15,000 per transfer and I have lost count of how many of such transactions we have done in the past. In all, I have made at least N150,000 and I used part of it to upgrade my certificate,” he said.
Chris, as he is fondly referred to by his gang members also revealed that, aside helping the gang to generate information of account holders, he also provided the gang with telephone numbers of victims.
He disclosed in his confession that, at times, the gang would do a welcome back of some of the telephone numbers he generated.
His words: “What happens in this case is that the original owner of the line would not be able to make or receive calls. All calls or text messages on such numbers can only be accessed by the person who did the welcome back.
The gang members are staff of Telecommute Tin Providers. This people are the ones who do the welcome back for the gang on any number to be profiled.
“My greatest pain was when my aged mother came to see me when I was in police custody. I pray that God will give her the heart and courage to bear the pains because I know that she will be going through so much pain right now.”
Another member of the gang, Oyosoje Joseph, an engineer who graduated from the University of Lagos, said he had made well over N10 million from local fraud.
The 30 year old who resides at No. 80 Adekeye Street, Ajegunle, said he joined the gang out of frustration.
As at the time of his arrest, the suspect had over N5 million in one of his accounts. It was learnt that the suspect is also presently being hunted for by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).
An account he operates with one of the new generation banks has been frozen. Another suspect, Henry Omagbemi, 31, is said to have operated a network of bogus names to launder the proceeds. A police source said that members of the gang were all involved in a scheme to defraud account holders of millions of naira.
‘Accounts belonging to people with large balances – in some cases several millions of naira were targeted. To identify those rich accounts, Amechi, an employee of a new generation bank was recruited to help the gang. As an insider, he would then assist in breaching the security protocols in order to steal the money.
The money would be transferred to accomplices who would swiftly transfer the money through a number of bogus businesses before the money would eventually disappear” the police source said.
Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Chike Oti, confirmed the arrest. He said that one of the victims lost more than N2 million after a member of the gang used a fake welcome back telephone number in the account holder’s name to set up two transfers over three days.
A customer with N200 million in the bank only escaped becoming a victim when they were arrested.
Yi bo Yi bo Yi bo how many times I call una? My own be sey make Nigerians no dey give money matter to evil biafrans. Give them work that needs the use of hands only.
Time to protect a recalcitrant prodigal son of yoruba. These evil northerners knows he is an impediment to their evil plot to twick the constitution in their favour. Aren't they known for self serving in the history of Nigeria? Yorubas watch this space.
olayinka00: According to information reaching us from the state house correspondent, reported that Barrister Adebayo Shittu who was wearing one of the caps with the inscription '' Continuity 19: Muhammadu Buhari/Osinbajo’, brought a Ghana must go bag containing campaign hats meant to share between Ministers and other government functionaries at the meeting. He was about to start distributing it when the SGF Boss Mustapha, walked up to him and stopped him.
The Communication Minister, is chairman of the Muhammadu Buhari, Support Group in the South West, then handed over the bag to the council’s secretariat staff members, who are in charge of distributing documents and other items used by FEC members.
Last Saturday, Shittu inaugurated the South southwest zonal office of Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Organisation in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Shameless jobber, shittu that is useless to himself that upon all the money he's stolen he can not do any thing tangible with it not to talk of being useful to Nigeria.
Blingblings: Buhari why? Honestly Benue people should form a militia and protect themselves because its obvious the government cant do that. Was it not the other day that Buhari said these herdsmen will be brought to book? Na real wa
Every region in Nigeria should finance and fund a militia group to deal with these barbaric Fulani people as the central government cannot be relied on to do the needful whenever military action is needed as the military is in the control of these vagabonds.
