“In the case of cement, Nigeria used to be a net importer of cement, but the government set up a policy over a five-year period, which made it possible that today, we are a net exporter of the commodity.”

hope we can see how things are achieved, a policy over a five year period was set, which made Nigeria to be a net exporter of cement. But under this administration, everything must be achieved within 4 years, choking And destroying the economy.

Raypawer:
point of correction, eastern state, not niger delta, don't mix things up!

u are already being agitated unnecessarily Niger Delta development commission(NDDC) states like ondo, abia, imo are they not part of the Niger Delta, NDDC, since that's what u want to see. Even a child knows abia is in the east. Smh

Hakeem3:
does your own bible teaches you to always provoke other people just because they are not in same ethnic and religion path wif you?

the Bible doesn't teach provocation, u haven't answered my question, must people respond violently to provocations, must Muslims respond violently, is that what the Quran teaches.

SeeUrLife:
can u pls compare Bayelsa & Katsina in term of LGA nos & allocation received?

I have done that already in a previous post, bayelsa is a failed state, producing irresponsible leaders, the issue is no one knows the formula used for these sharing, or is it any president in power can decide to allocate to each state as he wills. As far as am concerned states under the NDDC should receive more but look at that chat, u begin to ponder how borno, jigawa, Niger, Kaduna, benue etc receive more than ondo, abia, imo, Edo.

AnanseK:
What a dunce! Anyway .....

animal u lack the ability to state ur opinion. Is that ur best. Nonsense

Sudden increase in allocation to northern states, even higher than a Niger Delta state like Abia. Wonderful. One Nigeria indeed.

Yet this people cant pay salaries, see even osun above almost all Eastern states, yet the governor is complaining. Look at bayelsa , Smh. Bad leaders everywhere

bashydemy1:
Use your brain for once, So because we should be allow to do what ever we want then i can start to insult you since i have the freedom to do so? won't you report me to Nairaland and ask them to ban me? Since there should be freedom of everything why don't start walking naked along the street. Why can't he write his father's name on the dog instead of someone else father's name?

use ur brain, if u can't stomach insults, u avoid the person who insulted u. So if I insult u, the next thing is to turn violent. I can choose to walk unclad, I can choose the name I want for my dog. Thats the freedom we should have.

MosquitoREBIRTH:
That is what it means to be proactive, rather than looking for how to investigate when the deed has already been done. Its quite unfortunate that most people, especially nigerians dont know the situation in Nigeria now. Any little thing can at this moment spring up voilence. So its better to arrest the situation than to start battling with "who killed who".

I understand ur point but we must not respond out of fear or intimidation, we cannot say because some people are highly violent then they should be treated specially, this was a case that could have easily been settled but with the response of the police, seems they did that out of fear for some persons, which shouldn't be so.

Azumy:
irrational person calling pple irrational mtscheeeew biko GB!

have u done that.

SpeedOfLight:
You are 100% right. Nigeria was tagged terrorist country because of two deadliest killing group in one country courtesy of Bokoharam and Fulani Herdsmen. The best thing to do is to group people with like minds together, because if we don't do it there must be conflicting request. Imagine this situation, you and your brother have a common resource and you married only one wife and give birth to three children, your brother married ten wives and give birth to thirty children, wouldn't you canvas to be independent on your own? Because if you don't do it by tomorrow they will swallow you with their conflicting request to that small common resource you were managing with your brother. My point, if conflicting request or what separates you is greater than what binds you what is the essence of lumping and killing one another? Shall we continue like this?

we cannot continue this way.

tundexijim:
The igbo that I know will do more than violence. Have u seen how they attack anyone that speak against their so called biafra or kanu on social media and to say they won't do worse in a real life scenario is an understatement.

am happy u said on social media, am sure u have no real life scenario to sight.

QuotaSystem:
Chinakwe has learnt his lesson and is now professing love for everything named Buhari. His brain is now reset to its default setting.

Public disorder has been avoided and peace continues to reign in the man's community and the market. All's well that ends well.

That's the power of corrective punishment. Mental pygmies can continue to rant.

ok .. try also not to rant, to avoid being a mental pygmy

tundexijim:
Nobody is afraid of hausa. U shouldn't get stupid jst because u want to show u ain't a coward. Now tell me again will the igbo celebrate anyone that write ojukwu or Kanu on his dog and parade it b4 them claiming ojukwu is his hero...

the Igbos I know will never result to violence or allow that to "likely breach public peace" or would the Yorubas result to violence.

Let him remind them that no man, no man should fight for a god. And also advice northern governors to start free compulsory education, to enlighten them more.

tundexijim:
Is there anything they are demanding from u that u need to give in to? Inside of u what do u think was his intention when he write a name on the dog and went on to display it where the hausas are dominated. The guy is jst lucky those hausas didn't take law in their hands..

that's the issue people are now afraid of Hausa's because they feel they hold the monopoly of violence, exactly what they want to instill in us, "fear". Why would you use the word lucky on the man because those guys didn't take law in their hands, are they supposed to. Even the police is now responding to fear and intimidation, if not this case wouldn't have gotten to this stage.

QuotaSystem:
How? It's more like YOU polarized the case.

It's your irrational bias against northerners that is affecting your ability to digest the crux of the case.

Goodbye.

who brought it to the media me or the police, it's also your irrational bias against easterners whether Igbo ijaw ibibio, that is affecting your capacities to critically analyse this case.

Ok, just like the have brought the culprits who killed the woman in Kano, Abuja and others. This is another case that would go south, with the perpetrators walking freely, I am interested in hearing from the sultan, he has been somehow vocal these days

Hakeem3:
IGNORANCE is truely a problem...these northerners will be on their own peacefully going about their business..some miscreant will be looking for ways to get them upset hence leading to serious fighting and unrest..you are here spilling rubish from that dustbin you call mouth..if they start to retaliate now they will say muslims are terrorist muslims are not peacefl muslims ar this muslims are that..mtcheew good riddance to bad rubish.. that fool will rot in jail for like one month so he will have sense ..

so Muslims must respond to every provocation and retaliate using violence. is that the peace and tolerance your Quran preaches.

QuotaSystem:
His action was criminal, it went beyond just being irresponsible.

"actions which harm another person or harm his property in his presence, or actions which are likely to provoke such harm". Such harm like his property or the person. Now how is the naming of his dog likely to harm the man or his property. Yes the man misbehaved by writing the name on the dog. But the way the police responded and polarised the case, makes it look like the police are even afraid of some set of people.

fineboynl:
with a lot of impunity. their brother is in charge.
this are intentional act and not by mistake.



the case of a Niger Delta Man who names his dog buhari.

northerners and westerners shouldn't undermine the Niger Delta. we are not weak when it comes to violence. no body has monopoly to violence. we have more northerners and westerners in the Niger Delta more then Niger Delta in those region.

under the law of federal republic of Nigeria the man who names his dog has the write to names his dog whatever name he likes. and write anything he like on his dog. Nigeria of today keep on talking of national tolerances and we are one.bla bla bla and let us live together. but with what we are seeings some groups of elements have total immunity to bridged this saying. no tolerance and they keep on talking about provocative statement as naming a dog buhari.

we are watching carefully. anything shouldn't happen to any Niger Deltas in any part of the country under the name of blasphemy and provocative statement in this circular country we are not in a Muslim country. we won't take it likely. our son Jonathan received a lot of provocative statement from northerners and westerners but he tolerate everything under the metro to live in peace and unity as one Nigeria. we will not take it when we are intimidated. if anything happens to that man it will worsen the already division the Niger Delta is currently against Nigeria government.
horror and violence pass each other when it truly starts so it's better to avoid them.


as far as we are concerned our brother is been intimidated and should be paid for compensation no whee in the world things like this happen on a circular state like Nigeria except you guys are telling us some part of the country is already slamized.

a word is enough for the wise.


its best to allow the sleeping lion lay.

Nigeria is in trouble, to even think some people are supporting all these nonsense is worrisome, the same set of people who said even if someone produces NEPA certificate, people who have attained giant heights in education. So much mad happenings in this country.

MosquitoREBIRTH:
Do you know a new employee of a bank was sacked because the first time he was taken into the bank's vault, he shouted, "omo see money"? He was fired because that guy has the tendency of being a thief. Simple!

that's a private business owned by an individual interested in making maximum profits, so if he was in the ministry of finance, he would be fired because he has the tendency of being a thief.

QuotaSystem:
This has nothing to do with violence and everything to do with irresponsible provocation.

Does it have to cost you an arm to be respectful to your neighbors?

Why are Africans like this? Gosh.

since it's about irresponsible provocation, it's not the duty of the police to imbibe responsibility on citizens or the duty of the police to teach people not to hot tempered. If that's the case all irresponsible and disrespectful cases would be handled by the police.

yemdogg:
Goodluck Jonathan was even more defamed than this and yet we didn't see the police harassing people.

Chapter 4 of 1999 Constitution has been raped.

u can just imagine the nonsense, el rufai a governor now, used all manner of derogatory and insultive words on a sitting president. What did the police do, wasn't that inciteful and capable of breaching public peace. Some people believe that Nigeria is their kingdom and all others are subject to their whims and caprices

cole265:
Igbos should be allowed to have their own country. They no longer can reason well.

then what is the shout for unity, why insisting they must stay. People who reason well are not violent, irrational, murderous and always get provoked easily always. it would be marvellous if Igbos are left to go so that you can live with such people. Since they are the ones u describe as reasonable.

caesaraba:
I don't get why a lot of these guys quoting you are trying to make you see reason. NL and it's endless stream of attendant losers feeling like they are worth a nickel. I actually blame the Hausa guys for taking the matter to the police. They shoulda just mobbed the idiot as they'd have done in the past so people like you can come online wail properly.
His bail is a paltry 50,000 Naira go and pay (or form a group to pay for him). You'd wonder why civil society groups aren't championing his case as opposed to other percieved persecution cases but of course his name is Iroko so hitertho functional brains from a certain region will take a vacation.

The guys in Zamfara did it the old school way, y'all still complaining. What do you really want? To provoke people intentionally and not expect a response? Go and read the facts of the case again and see why the first person to quote you said your post made you look stupid. Have a nice day.

Please don't reply, I'm not a contestant in your nonsense Nairaland e-battles. *unfollows thread*

supporting violence, I can see how u reason, just look at u wrote "the guys in zamfara did it the old school way" no sanctity for human life. If u can't control your temper it's ur problem, if u are provoked either u find ur way or u cause ur own provocation it's very simple and not resulting to violence no one has monopoly over it. Ur post what does it make u looking like, stupid or what.

If u don't want a reply state ur opinions without quoting me.

We get and pay for everything for ourselves in this country, what has taxation done for Nigerians, yet this tax govt keep on taxing, this is as a result of having a government composed of short sighted and antediluvian people.

When he meets religious leaders he should please advice them no man should fight for a god. And advice the northern governors to introduce free compulsory education.

attackgat:
It is the times we are in, NIgeria entered a period of tyranny the moment Buhari came to power. An Igbo man is sent to jail jail for writting Buhari on his Dog? Wonders shall never end! Clear case of nepotism

we are in trouble in this country, giving in to negative lifestyle of some particular people. Likely to cause breach of peace my foot.

TheArchangel:
He didn't breach any peace bro, LIKELY TO CAUSE BREACH OF PEACE is what he is being accused of. Nigeria is indeed a necrotizing fasciitis- a flesh eating bacteria.

He is yet to commit the damn crime. Like accusing someone of " likely to rob or fight or " This is preposterous indeed.

what this means now is that I cannot do what I decide to do because some set of persons are violent.

Chanchit:
I don't think you guys get it, he has caused breach of peace already even on the Internet, there's no more peace concerning this matter, everybody have been giving their opinions.

the response of the police promoted what ever is being witnessed concerning this issue. A matter that should have been settled easily. U cannot say we should give in to violent persons for peace to reign.

bkool7:
"The charge read, “That you, Joachim Iroko, aka Joe, and others still at large, on Saturday, August 13, 2016, at about 5.30pm at the Ketere area, Sango, in the Ota Magisterial District did conduct yourselves in a manner likely to cause breach of the peace, by writing a name, Buhari, on a dog and parading same in the Hausa section of Ketere Market, Sango, thereby, committing an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 249 (d) of the Criminal Law of Ogun State, Nigeria, 2016.”


Please next time, read the post b4 commenting. It makes you looks stupid. I have extracted the above portion to enlighten u

"likely to commit breach of peace" ur support for fascist ideologies might make u more stupid. You would likely be kept in prison custody because u are likely to steal, without u stealing. If anyone cannot stand insult he should vacate the place immediately, we cannot say because some animals are violent we should give in to their demands.
