How such basic argument with facts and numbers makes you upset and become reckless and uncouth beggars belief. The FAAN Boss is giving you the reason why FAAN will not accept to run these white elephant projects by the time those states dash them to operate.

Why did they agree to run state Airports 🤨 ? They were supposed to be in the process of concessioning their airports to the private sector. Lol nothing about this situation makes sense.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) says the state-owned airports are an additional burden on its finances and projections.

Some of these airports were handed over to the Federal Government through FAAN after construction.

they breached the agreement . Looking like its gentleman agreement that has no legal binding. The technology in 1950s and 1960s when the dams were built is not same today. The builders could have told them it can be built without it affecting our dam. For now we should still be selling to others

They breached a non binding agreement? The government hasn't reacted at all publicly. None of the countries recognize any agreement since there's no treaty to speak of. Do you know the year who signed the agreement or when it was ratified? There's nothing forcing Nigeria to sell electricity to these nations especially if they aren't paying.

Honestly it will be better when they do start building their dams like Niger Republic is doing. It turns out their dam will make them independent of electricity imports. As you said they the technology isn't the same anyway and they supposedly talking it over with countries downstream.

ednut1:
Go to mainstream office in abuja ( operator of kainji and jebba) they have a copy of the agreement lol

Why did you say it's a gentleman agreement if there's a copy of agreement? Lol this would make for an interesting FOIA if you're correct.

Is Nigeria also forced to provide neighbouring countries with electricity to prevent them damming river Niger up stream?

ChatGPT:
There is no evidence to suggest that Nigeria is forced to provide neighboring countries with electricity to prevent them from damming the River Niger upstream. However, the construction of dams on the River Niger by upstream countries such as Mali and Guinea can potentially affect the flow of the river downstream, including Nigeria.

Franking:
Thanks.

This raises more questions. What have successive governments from Obasanjo to Buhari done to about the inadequate transmission capability of the country?

One is forced to buy into some conspiracy theories. Nigeria is truly an embarrassment.

The craziest part is government officials perpetuate these to the public. Even when a simple Google search would tell you Niger Republic is building a dam. People will mindlessly tell this lie like NPCs.

ednut1:
impact of one dam is not the same as having 5 dams there. I once audited the company operating kainji and jebba dams. Na dem engineers tell us

You stated the electricity is sold so these won't build a dam. Obviously that isn't a deterrent not to. The other three can do so if they please since there's nothing legally preventing them from doing so.

ednut1:
we are selling to them so they dont build their own dams on river niger. If they do then kanji dam don cast

Are you aware Niger Republic is currently constructing Kandadji Dam?

Wembanet:
Is River Niger passing through Togo?

Nope.

BeardedmeatR:
I'm not on Arewa Twitter. If you are there, you would agree this argument has been raging there for some time now and have even made front page here.

Even the documentary titled zamfara warlords made front page here.

You're not on there, but you're confirming it? I watched that BBC documentary. I don't remember it being about them disliking Fulani's in general but the criminals attacking them with impunity.

Gagare1:
You have found one who wholeheartedly agrees and is even among the fighters for Hausa liberation from Fulani deception.

Mun gaji da 'yan ungulu da kan zabo.

Finally I've seen one after all these years.

BeardedmeatR:
The Op started by saying the argument was raging on Twitter between the duo. The Hausa people you are waiting for their response are not here but on Twitter.

He posted no proof of these interactions. You're free to post the Twitter threads if you witnessed the interactions.

Still waiting on someone to explain why a uniform tax policy is better than state deciding their own. It's weird how much people like uniformity in the federal republic if Nigeria. Even if the states need to improve tax collection there's little chance they'll all demand the same rates taxation. Honestly I believe the reason everyone is more obsessed about resource taxation is because they don't want to think these sort of taxes.

Lol every bloody tribe speaking for the Hausa. Some please wake me up when a Hausa comments and agrees with these sentiments.

helinues:
I am not in support of Ekeremadu's criminal behavior .

You are not getting my point. Their reactions about Ekeremadu's sentencing is political. It's all about 2019 election which Ekeremadu did not support Obi.

Some of them have been claiming Gov Soludo should forget about his reelection, and whenever I asked them what if he performed wonderfully well, they still say they don't care, what then is the sin of Gov Soludo? Because he did not support Obi.

Link those 2 scenarios together and see the reason why some of them are happy about Ekeremadu's sentencing

Those who supported Kanu, Simeon Ekpa, ESN and UGM yet claiming they don't support any criminal activities

You're just projecting it's about Obi because you're concerned about him. Half the comments I read lambast him for not setting up medical infrastructure at home. Also remember they didnt cry for him when he was assaulted in london either. This was before Peter Obi ever came into the picture. Yeah, they do support those groups for different reasons. One man's freedom fight is another man's terrorist.

Soludo being potential denied reelection is just democracy in action. If they don't feel represented by him why does he need to stay in office? They clearly support labor policies, so there's going to be a natural consequence to going against it. If he preformed well he better be savvy and have receipts to show he's the better option. This one reason I don't worship at the alter of democracy.

Lol he should of done his crimes in Nigeria if he believed the punishment was too harsh. In Nigeria the same crimes nets a much lighter sentence. Fun fact he was in the senate when the law was passed.

helinues:
Just wondering why Ekeremadu's people who could have rallied around him during his predicament are the one championing his sentencing.

What exactly is Ike's sin that made his people to turn him into an outcast?

Are you telling us they should support his criminal behavior? If that's the case tell us why. Name the criminals you support.

These same actions aren't even legal in Nigeria. Remember he presided over this law when it was being debated. He should of spoke up said he wants organ buying & sales legal.

Yeah they'll be jailed. This sort of crime won't have the UK government running to temper justice with mercy. The same crime here only carries a year in jail and a small fine.

It is not illegal to buy organs in Nigeria as long as it is consented to.
Ekweremadu's ignorance cost him his freedom, no smart person
goes to UK for transplant.

Don't get yourself locked up. It's Illegal in Nigeria as well.

Allocation and Use of Human Organs.

helinues:
Not all those politicians are exposed.

I'm not understanding this response. Can you elaborate?

helinues:
To err is human.

Just pitying Ike's present predicament

He has plenty of money. He can still go pay for a kidney in Iran.

helinues:
It's unfair to mock Ikeremadu in his present situation.

Ike acted as a parent. Nobody is above mistake.

I just hope FG, ECOWAS assembly would do something even if to reduce his sentencing

Most parents especially wealthy ones don't risk there freedom acting this way. Did you know he could of legally went to Iran to conduct his business?

Omihanifa:
When can't thesame ekweremadu use his influence when he was in the senate for 23 year to make the government build at least one good hospital in the country. All they know how to do is to loot. Do you know how many people that have died as a result of our bad health care system?

It's not legal to buy organ in Nigeria. A good healthcare system doesnt change that fact.

Another lesson is Ekweremadu's should have sponsored legislation to make buying organs legal in Nigeria. Next option go do you business where its legal.

LocalStandard1:
Over populating and cramping out an area is not enough to call it a "cities" my petite friend.

Can you state the difference between a city vs a big LGA?

jaeyking:
How would you legalize such in this country that lacks human empathy.

Na death sentence u don sign for people be that na

I can see that scenario playing out. Human empathy is not why most people obey laws. It's more about deterrents for bad behavior like Jail or a death sentence. I would assume the doctors wouldn't want their medical licenses stripped or thrown in jail like the foolish one that followed Ike Ekweremadu. I'm pretty neutral on the issue.

I noticed alot of people feel bad for the Ekweremadu's. Currently Iran is the only country where its legal. Ike Ekweremadu was in the Senate when National health act was passed. There's no proof he supported the organ trade until he was caught in the UK. Should Nigeria Legalize organ sales like Iran has?

They received a 9 year sentence by not going to Iran.

WE NOW BEG FOR FOOD AND TRANSPORT FEE TO GO TO WORK AND WE CANNOT PROTEST BECAUSE IT’S AGAINST THE POLICE REGULATIONS.

Lol they're robbing people because there's little to no consequences for doing so. The government not paying alleglly isnt the reason. You're not ready to protest the government because of regulations but you're ready to extortion people knowing it's against the law.

DrAda:
With the alarming increase of violence and personality disorders occuring around the world, one can't help but wonder if COVID-19 and its vaccine are responsible.

Are you sure it wasn't the effects if social isolation due to lockdowns. That makes more sense to me saying a respiratory virus is making everyone violent.

CodeTemplar:
may be you can start by defining wealth for us.

Assets minus liabilities.

This why most of yall don't send your kids to public school 😒. Even the ones praising the governor performance won't. These schools are like most of the public sector institutions yall avoid.

maasoap:
Abeg, rest. We're operating federal system of government and I guess you don't understand what that means. That's where your problem lies

Lol don't run away from the question now clown. It's in the exclusive Legislative List so it means it's under the exclusive domain of the Federal government just like creating new states and police. Now cite the law you're referring to.

maasoap:
A governor has power to declare holiday in his state, no ambiguity in this case

Cite the section of the law you're talking about. Everyone talks but nobody walks the walk.

1999 constitution
Schedule II. Legislative Powers
Part I. Exclusive Legislative List
51. Public holidays.

Saao:
is because u lack common sense that's why you can be jumping upon and down on every conversation. I wonder why you quote me. If you have personal issues with him, make u statement and stop quoting me. My sister maybe death, yes, this is not a life you have either. Get a life. This is not life young man, life of hatred will destroy you. I can be sympathetic with any work.

I lack common sense because I exposed your emotional logical inconsistencies? Is me telling you not to drag your dead sister into an argument hateful. I'm not sure what hateful comment I made towards you. I quoted you to show you Ekweremadu's was foolish and crooked. He had the option of helping his daughter by going to Iran instead going to jail in the UK. He even got his wife and a doctor roped up in his madness. I'm aware you can be sympathetic to any fool since you identify with them.
