Counterigbolies:
no b Igbo u b again?

Typical example of the brainlessness I am talking about.

Just because I make valid observations about mismanagement of SS funds you automatically think I am Igbo.

For you information I am from SS, born and breed, and I've seen first hand the impacts and effects of corruption in the SS

As usual so many brainless people will praise this, as if it's something substantial.

We have had Niger Delta Development Commision
We have had Federal Ministry for Niger Delta
The Niger Delta states get extra derivation montly.

WHAT IS THERE TO SURE FOR ALL THIS?

The major cities in the Niger Delta (Warri, Assaba, PH, Uyo) not one of them a portable drinking water. None has quality roads and drainage.
Not a single Niger Delta state has a Cancer diagnosis ward

Yet the brainless will be cheering those that continue to keep them in poverty.
Cursed people!

TENHEU22:
Have you heard of the Canon Laws? You're hearing it for the first time I guess.

Cannon law Does not superceed the laws of the land as passed by Parliament. The OP was correct there is NO SUCH THING AS CHRISTIAN COURT anywhere in the Christian world.

OneCandleAway:
Rubbish. There's nothing like christian court. Where did they adopt that from among the Christian countries that brought Christianity to Nigeria. They just want to use Christian Court as a means to allow people be comfortable with Islamic Court or Sharia Court

Does US, UK have Christian Court?

You are correct. This is total and complete rubbish. If anything we should have be having our traditional courts based on native laws and custom.
How can their be 'Christian Courts' when Christianity itself is mega divided? Do Redeemed, Christ Embassy and Catholic see issues the same way?

Honestly people should leave Soyinka alone. He's 90 and has earned the right to rest and if he does not want to attack is pal Tinubu so be it.

It's for the youth of this nation to take their destiny in their hands. They are the ones who should be attacking this corrupt govt constantly and loudly. its THEIR future that is at stake. People like Soyinka have lived their lives and enjoyed Nigeria when it's was good. The youth have had their future stolen by corrupt elders, so it's up to them now to start fighting back. Forget about the older generation.
Gowon was head of state at 33, IBB was in the SMC in his early 30's. Sheau Yar'dua was number 2 in his 30's. 30 year olds today are making skits on Tic-Tok and you are waiting for a 90 year old man to come and fight for you!

The sad problem with Nigeria is that, while everything El-Rufai says is true, if he's president tomorrow he will even do worse

I have to say the stupidity of some people is off the charts. What exactly did Ijaws get from their alliance with the North? Ijaw resources were used to build Abuja, while the riverrine areas were left as polluted slums. Numerous Northerners like TY Danjuma ar3 billionaires from oil blocks. How many Ijaws own oil blocks?

NOTHING WILL HAPPEN

Nigerians just love to utter brainless thrash. If Fubara impeached, at worse there wil be some riots for a few days, the army will move in with 'Shoot at sight' orders and the matter will end. NOBODY is above the law

He will be a Senator within the next 10 years

fuckJones:
look at this one, obj is one of the worst president ever,

Boko Haram started under him.

Naira started decline immediately he took over, $1 was 22 naira throughout abacha regime.

Nigeria army kill more citizens under his government than any other government

Let's apply the 'Ronald Regan' test to this.

Are you better off today then you were in May 2007 when OBJ left govt?

ebubeson:
One of the best presidents of Nigeria.

During his regime, dollar may be less than 100 Naira.

During his regime there were several jobs.

During his regime there was no "mad" japa syndrome.

During his regime, there was better security than now.

In fact during his time there was actually 'Reverse Japa syndrome' People abroad started coming back to invest in the economic boom. It's truly amazing how far Nigeria has fallen from where he left it in 2027

Benin boys where dey tear solider slap, who be yeye policeman?

Fear of Benin boys na the beginning of wisdom!

Catapault:
More facts:

Edo was a village that became the capital of Japan in 1603 when a military commander Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Edo grew into a huge city with a population of over a million by the mid-eighteenth century.

The name was changed to Tokyo in 1868 when the Tokugawa Shogunate ended and the new emperor, Meiji, moved his residence there..

- The title of the Benin kingdom's top military commander was the IYASE.

- A 'Shogunate' is a district managed by an 'Ogun officer' of the type that manned Benin's regions.

The Japanese and the Edo people have a similar form of greeting which is Domo.

Domo in Edo means 'Greetings'.

Domo in Japanese is a way of greeting, and it can work as a 'thank you' in the Japanese world.

It's also interesting that in Modern day Nigeria it's only the Bini monarchy and monarchy's that descended from the Bini monarchy like Warri and Agbor, that have the tradition of the first son being the heir to the throne. Practically all the other monarchs in Nigeria are selected by king makers. First son heir to the throne is the same as Japan.

There are also clear similarities between traditional Japanese and Edo attires.

We must remember our historical knowledge is quite limited and anything before the 1700's is more or less a blackhole. The similarities between Edo and Japan's culture are too striking to be dismissed. At the very least, it seems there was some form historical interactions between the 2 cultures with one influencing the other.

kokoA:
IBB was head of state then, he could still have imprisoned him for years and later set him free. Na all the people wey plan coup dem dey kill?

You simply don't understand how the military operates. Do you think the other officers executed did not have close friends across the armed forces? How would they have reacted to see their friends executed, but Vatsa spared, simply because he was IBB's friend? That would have lead to a breakdown in discipline. A military leader can't be seen to apply favouritism and hope to maintain the chain of command.

It makes you wonder what is the point of making mega money? Is it not better to make enough for you and your family to have a good life, give the kids a good education and some money to start their lives, but not all these billions? It just leads to so much grief and stress when you pass on

She has lost her sight
He has lost his leg

Evil people must always pay for the ways.

Nonsense!
Babangida always said he was in full command of his environment. Now he's saying that his minister of defense took the decesion to annual a presidential election without his approval, yet he went on National TV to announce the same annulment.
Now he tries to put all the blame on Abacha. What shameless corward!!

Please let's learn to leave ethnic sentiments aside and reason with logic and facts. Weather you support Tinubu or not, it's clear the economy is finally stabalizing. The Niara seems to have found a stable trading range against the dollar. This is mainly due to increassed crude ouput and aso the reduction in refined products to the local refinairies. A stable(ish) Niara in turn leads to stable(ish) inflation as we remain a mainly import based economy.
It's been rough but as Tinubu approaches his second year in office, there are finally signs of stablility in the economy. If the govt can now build on this with security in the North and reforms in the power sector, by this time next year we may have an even better story to tell. Let's put hands together to rebuild our great nation.

Governor that can't even speak English, what do you expect?

Please keep my Edo state out of your mouths. We have now business with you people.

Smallie business will increase even more. At this rate both mother and daughter will be doing runs to raise money for application form

I see nothing wrong with this. If you want to run a church get a premises and follow the correct procedure. In the developed world do you see churches inside residential houses? Nigerias simply hate following the law

Sale of Panadol will rise in the North because of this news

Iam an Edo man, and this article is nonsense. No commissioner is sacred regardless of who nominated them

epainos:
Dey play. Both Yoruba and Igbos are tribalistic....not only one. Guy, South South will never unite with South East. Never. Rather, they will prefer to unify with South West. South East is a nation on its own. Why do South West and South South always have a way to go along together but South East cannot. And do you think South South will ever want South East to bully them again? Dey play.

Chi do you even know how to read? Go back and read what I wrote, slowly

So na SS and SW dey finance this country!! If only the Yorubas were not so trbalistic, I would advocate a SE SS merger. That would be a very powerful and rich nation.

Maybe the Islamists have a point after all. It seems to me that sadly, women need to be strictly controlled.

This only works if the kids will also be taking their JAMB and WAEC in Hausa, else they'll be at a distinct disadvantage

tommy589:

No more Father Christmas. Europeans allies to carry their own cross.
Interesting times ahead for NATO

You do know that the only NATO has actually gone to war, was to support the US in Afghanistan after 9-11? Many European soldiers died in that conflict. Left to me NATO should be dissolved. Europe will step up to the plate and take care of it's own defense. In many cases European weapons are actually superior, but NATO procurement always favours the US. Let Trump go and deal with Mexico. Europe will be fine

free2ryhme:
Pulling out of the WHO weakens global health cooperation, especially during pandemics. Exiting the Paris Agreement reduces U.S. commitment to combatting climate change, potentially influencing global environmental efforts. Both moves can damage international relationships, making it harder for the U.S. to lead on global issues.

Let everybody stand on their on their feet. Mankind existed for thousands of years before the USA existed. Up till the end of WW2 the US was a very insular nation and they are simply going back to their true nature. Hopefully this will continue after Trump.

The way UK is going in a a few years time, they'll be speaking Yoruba, igob, Bini in Westminister!

Sanusi should have kept quiet. It's unbecoming for a first rate traditional ruler to speak the way he did. You will NEVER hear the Sultan of Sokoto, Oba of Benin or Oni of Ife speak like that in public. He has not done himself, or the institution he represents any favours
