Adminisher: I just love this President. The confab was an after thought by Jonathan to deflect attention away from corruption allegations against his government and his terrible performance against Boko Haram. In the heat of the pressure he hurriedly put together a jamboree that produced nothing. Abacha 's own was also the sane.
Let the National Assembly do their jobs. They can ammendments the constitution incrementally without the President. It is not in Buhari's oath of office and targets to restructure Nigeria. He did not promise it and he won't do it. Let our elected reps do the needful if they are really up to it
You surely speaks like someone who pass through school, but WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF GETTING EDUCATED.
Who in his right senses will not support THE RESTRUCTURING OF NIGERIA ALONG ETHNIC/REGIONAL LINES .
APC/BUHARI promised to create more than one thousand Employment opportunities within 1 year in office but the reverse is the case.
BUHARI provided more than 2 thousand unemployments within one year in office adding to the number of unemployed people in Nigeria due to his KINDERGARTEN ECONOMIC POLICIES.
eziokwubundunuwa: Everyone is assumed guilty till proven innocent in this situation. Borno people formed civilian JTF and fished out Boko Haram thereby proving they were not part of it. I expect Oporoza people to emulate Borno and use civilian JTF to fish out NDA in their mist.
NDA do not strap explosives on their body and BOMB THE CRAP OUT OF PEOPLE LIKE BOKOHARAM DO.
BUHARI IS giving AMNESTY TO HIS TERRORIST GROUP CALLED BOKOHARAM after killing thousands, displacing millions and destroying properties worth billions of naira while cancelling the Amnesty program giving to repentant formal militants, using oil revenues and you want IJAWS to keep mute and watch.
KINGinVAHALA2: They must not only produce tompolo but also Jonathan. And the Nigerian Army should also beam their search lights and go ransack otueke in bayelsa same way they are doing in gbaramatu.
The same way NORTH EASTH PRODUCED BOKOHARAM Sponsors
An attack on bokoharam is an attack on the NORTH-----BUHARI.
lonelydora: Buhari is not a magician. APC never knew the rot in our system was much during campaign. We have no option than to be patient with PMB to fix things gradually. PDP wasted 16 years, APC just wasted (so they said) 1 year. I believe in this administration.
Nigeria ga adi nma ozo.
It is only a fool who will not know that Kitchen should be hot.
And it is only a fool who does not know that there's absolutely nothing different between APC/PDP.
Obasanjo
ATIKU
ROTIMI AMAECHI. And many others are formal PDP members, they share in the 16yrs of RUINE.
Currently many formal PDP members are now governors under APC.
kropotkin2: Within the last six months, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, secured more than 140 convictions and recovered billions of dollars in stolen funds from unscrupulous individuals, the anti-graft body’s chairman, Ibrahim Magu, has said.
Mr. Magu spoke Thursday at a rally organised by the EFCC to sensitise Nigerian schoolchildren and teenagers on the perils of corruption to national development.
In a statement signed Thursday by EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, Mr. Magu said the agency also blocked several channels that people of questionable character used to launder their ill-gotten wealth.
‘‘In just six months of this year, we have secured over 140 convictions, including some elusive ‘high profile’ criminals. We have recovered billions of dollars worth of stolen funds and blocked numerous avenues of money laundering,’’ Mr. Magu said while speaking on a theme: ‘‘We Must Win The War on Corruption and Impunity.’’
Mr. Uwujaren later told PREMIUM TIMES that Mr. Magu meant “within the last six months”.
Mr. Magu said he is enlivened by the growing optimism of Nigerians in the fight against corruption.
‘‘Citizens are now more disposed to pre-emptively act against corruption; and where the act has been committed, they are willing to work with EFCC to fish out the criminals,” Mr. Magu said.
‘‘However, in order to ensure that justice is fully served to the victim, the perpetrator and the society, it is important for us all to continue to hold everyone in the justice delivery chain accountable.”
Mr. Magu urged the citizens to increase their scrutiny of the nation’s judiciary.
“Nigerians must also take more seriously their watchdog role over the judiciary to meet the yearnings of Nigerians for justice,’’ Mr. Magu said.
A former minister, Oby Ezekwesili, decried the miserable turn of events for Nigeria.
“Nigeria is a country that the whole world agreed had incredible potentials to be one of the leading countries of the world. As a matter of fact, at the time of Nigeria’s Independence, many around the world took a bet that Nigeria was the black nation that would likely put in hot pursuit all other nations of the world in terms of greatness that it had.
‘‘Sadly, 56 years after Independence, when some of those nations that took a bet on Nigeria look at what has become of the country, they ponder what has gone wrong. But what has gone wrong is what the EFCC has been established to tackle,’’ Mrs. Ezekwesili said.
Apart from youngsters in primary and secondary schools, Clean Hands Campaign drew a mammoth crowd of civil society actors in the fight against corruption, including Citizens for Anti-corruption Corps, Rivers State and the Patriotic Forum.
adeyemi2015: ND Avenger is following Nairaland on Twitter. It's obvious they are reading and paying attentions to the responses of the Nigerian Youths on their activities. I think we should admonish them to embrace peace, Nigerians ain't smiling at the moment, and they should stop compounding the challenges facing the Country at large! We need peace to achieve the Change we asked and voted for! Enough of incessant Bombings!
Peace is not guaranteed for as long as you keep STEALING FROM PAUL TO PAY PETER.
I want to use this opportunity to encourage and congratulate NIGER DELTA AVENGERS for the GOOD WORKS THEY ARE DOING.
NIGER DELTA HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTROL THEIR OIL AND NIGERIA SHOULD RESPECT THAT, IF THEY WANT PEACE.
- In international law, a sovereign state is a nonphysical juridical entity that is represented by one centralized government that has sovereignty over a geographic area.
-International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population, defined territory, one government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other sovereign states.
-It is also normally understood that a sovereign state is neither dependent on nor subjected to any other power or state.
Issues:
- They want install their people and control our resources. E.g Jonathan would be their Prime Minister or President - MNC's would be paying them taxes and royalties, there would be lots of cash available to them. - They would still not be richer. Their predicaments would not improve. Even pollutions would increase thereby degrading their natural sources of livelihood. - Issues of legitimacy would arise and the Western powers would do the needful. - Nigeria and its Army would deal with them accordingly in line with global practise. - Rise in militancy is expected in the region various groups would emerge for example Bini's, Efik, Esan, Ibibio, Igbo, Annang, Oron, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Yoruba, Isoko, Urhobo, Ukwuani, Kalabari and Ogoni would join the fray. - Economically, our Naira would still be a unifying currency for Nigeria and the so called sovereign state. - My brothers from the South East would be divided along the lines of joining or remaining in one Nigeria
What nonsense Jonathan sef
I believe you pass through school but WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF GETTING EDUCATION.
mrkayusfit: By now the Niger delta skies ought to be filled with helicopters and bomber Jets from the Nigerian airforce so they can do reconnaissance and possibly eves drop on the militants by monitoring their communications. These ragtag militants from the 5% region should not be allowed to hold the country to ransom. Buhari should give a shoot at sight order to the military so the avengers can pee in their pants. if not for the innocent people living in the Niger delta, I would have recommended a total leveling of the region if necessary. We the SW and core North are the only region not disturbing the peace of Nigeria. The 5% people are just a pain in our asses.
That's to show you that the 5% are the engine room of Nigeria.
oduastates: This man impresses those who are naturally predisposed to his childish/low IQ antics . this man is a senator for Christ sakes . He should be preferring solutions in the National Assembly.
I will end up by posting the characteristics of the dumb supporters by borrowing from a blog post on trump
This man speaks Like A Third-Grader. Do you know why he’s appealing to stupidd people? Because he speaks their language. He uses small words and short sentences, and has the general thought process of a child in the third grade .Maybe the fact that he “talks plain” appeals to you, but shouldn’t a senator be pushing bills in the NA ?
An educated mind will use SUPERIOR ARGUMENT to counter a statement.
But GULLIBLE MINDS attack the messenger instead of the message.
thegrinch: Young man, may I advise you to Apply some common sense when it comes to Matters of God? The poster you quoted might offend you... Learn to differentiate between the Man and God.
Abuse the man, Curse his Pastor, call him a Wailer, or a Zombie, A Dullard or an ineffectual buffoon, it doesnt matter, but Dont use God as your Chewing Stick.
Your God is an ASSHOLE, YOUR GOD IS an INEFFECTUAL BUFFOON.
NIJJAking: REPENT NOW EVERYONE OF YOUR SINFUL EVIL WAYS OF LIFE TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR ETERNITY IN HELL FIRE,,,,,,JESUS CHRIST LOVE AND WARN YOU TO REPENT AND CONVERT NOW TO CHRISTIANITY TO AVOID HELL FIRE WHEN YOU DIE,,,,God made you to be with Him here and in eternity,,,,you are not a mistake creature,,,be wise dont gamble with your eternity
ionsman: You don't have sense. You think recovered funds are just used like that? There are processes. Educate yourself and stop being confidently ignorant.
The one who needs education is you. but in actual fact, what you need is honesty and not education. Stop selling your conscience for a penny. Judging by the rate of unemployment, skyrocketed price of goods and services is ENOUGH EVIDENCE to show we have MEDIOCRE MINDS managing our economy.
Coming online to INSULT OUR SENSIBILITIES BECAUSE OF THE LITTLE CHANGE YOU GUYS COLLECTED FROM APC is not FUNNY.
DaudaAbu: Come oh.. is it cumpolsary that only FG that hav to build power plants?
Are states not allowed to build their own power stations due to their natural endowments ?
Pls anyone that know how this thing work should let us know.
Because am surprised that countries that are in the forefront of solar panels manufacturing and usage are cold countries but we, with all the sunshine and what have you are still struggling to generate light and accept solar as a source of generating same in large scale
That's why we are clamouring for REGIONAL GOVERNMENT whereby every zone will take charge of their destiny and develop at their own pace.
For as long as we are practicing UNITARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT. states will always depend and takes others from ABUJA.
bloodyBLOGGER: they protested for biafra. Few months before, this same set of people queued under the scorching sun to vote in the NIGERIAN presidential election.
Which one do they want?
Why is it that YOU CAN'T DO WITHOUT BIAFRANS.
ARE YOU THAT LAZY?
DON'T I HAVE THE RIGHT TO DIVORCE YOU as a husband or wife.?
If you can't do without BIAFRANS, then I must confess YOU ARE A BIOLOGICAL MIST-AKE.
FOR AS LONG AS BIAFRANS REMAIN IN NIGERIA, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND BE VOTED FOR.
mrvitalis: Negotiating with them is what Brought us to this mess in the first place for me it's a no no, even if we produce 0 barrels per day
Also block there arm supply from the sea engage them in gun battles very soon the are bound to run out of ammunition
But FG is ever ready to NEGOTIATE WITH BOKOHARAM TERRORISTS afte killing over Two thousand people and displacing millions and destroyed properties worth billions of NAIRA!
madridguy: PMB: No terrorist group will ever hold Nigeria on ransom again. Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, if you think Nigeria Government should dialogue with lazy guys that are just after their selfish interest then you don't want progress for this Nation.
If the NDA want anything from the government, let them come forward but thinking they can hold Nigeria Government on their kneels is No No No. Nigeria Army is up to the task, they are dealing with Boko Haram so NDA are just children looking for awoof money to flex their lives.
Note: Before you quotes me, don't tell me NDA are more sophisticated than Boko Haram, because they're nothing but bunch of coward, they attack oil installations and run into their hiding, let them wait for the Nigeria Army if they have the balls.
Bunch of lazy saboteurs.
Bokoharam had already gotten what they want, which is a return of power to the Core North.
So I don't know where and how the Army is dealing with them.
Buhari is busy releasing Bokoharam captives in droves and you are telling me Buhari is dealing with them
This reminds me of 2011 in kaduna state... Just 1 fight between one igbo chemist owner and a Hausa mother. ..the whole igbo traders in kaduna state refused to open shop for 2days due to cowardice ,they where afraid the Hausa will strike, in kaduna here igbo people can't live together with Hausa people because they know will suya them if they misbehave, igbo people have shown times without number that they lack respect and proper home upbringing they exhibit this trait everywhere they are, why for god's sake will you dare stop someone in his/her ancestors land from displaying goods when you're displaying yours. ..giving orders to someone in his land imagine this arrant nonsense they can't think talkless of trying it over here in the North. Igbo are more of coward than the Yoruba tribe if you don't believe come down north and see. Igbo respect your hosts please silence is not stupidity or lack of violence but just for the love of peace.
Stupidity is when you sentence a person to jail without hearing from his own side of the story.
KWARA STATE IS STILL UNDER CAPTIVITY TILL THIS DAY.
