Because of your road trips that's why you want subsidy back?,show us one country in the world people are not complaining about cost rising cost of living from US to SA......I agree food inflation is higher than before but lower than when he came in.

Family loaf of bread is about $1.20

1 paint rubber of garri will last my family for more than 2 weeks $2.00

1/4 bag of rice that will last my family for a month is $8.00

Crate of eggs is $5

Kilo of chicken/fish/pork is $5

Beans is even cheaper than rice

Fufu,white yam flour etc $2.00

Pasta 80 cents

Etc.

Minimum wage $50

These aren't overly expensive as many of you obidients always want people to believe,I agree they cost more than the used to but you need to always reckon that people also earn more than they used to.....you would have cogent grounds to complain if wages didn't increase.

However,I don't understand why beef which is locally produced is so expensive,more than poultry or fish which is majorly imported also eggs that has a higher cost of production.

Somebody actually took time to type this gibberish!!

no one is selling Nigeria short or igbos shorts.. You could have called your community leaders any name you wish to umunna or whatever.. OHAneze no one has any problem with that name and no one is instigating anyone against anyone.. This thing happened in Ghana now souht Africa.. Those people can't tell the difference between a yoruba and an igbo we are all Nigerians and they will attack any Nigerian despite its ethnicity because they can't tell the difference.

What am against is you guys that are point fingers and accusing innocent people falsely and unnecessary.

In your characteristic folly you ignored the fact that in this thread alone multiple posters have been posting
"Don't do king overs...eas" and other nonsense
I really respect Murtala,Ibb and Abacha for doing the needful with una
You lo..t are desp..icable
Smh

We have to be very careful
This looks like the BRIBED wing of Ohaneze because Ndigbos know nobody crowns anyone outside of igboland
Propaganda like this is dangerous and should be curtailed

una no they tìre with this nonsense talk? Why didn't they arrest him when he went to hospital at Maryland in 2022?

Trump wasn't the president

tinsel:
Why do some people hate their country so bad that they will only want to hear bad news about the country ? I am confused honestly. Everyday some people wake up they pray for bad Nigeria for their own country. This has gone beyond politics. They prey for nepa darkness, for fuel price to rise, for que in the fueling stations and for naira exchange to go high. The same country they are in and will join in the suffering. They want Trump to come and bomb Nigeria even if it will affect them and their families. What is going on? It is beyond my reasoning

Your country imports fuel
Your country does not have steady power so it can't industrialize
Yet you are saying people HATE it

I support tinubu re election but i have very strong reservations about seto tinubu's campaign strategy and his visibility spouses very poor aesthetics, he needs to be reined in.......this city boy approach is on my opinion totally out of place and really depicts tge campaign in bad light based on the character of the individuals involved and how they go about it........ they really need to go back to the drawing board and restrategise.......you dont go around throwing affluence in people's faces and act like you own the whole place and everybody without attracting disdain and envy from the people.

Criminals do not care about optics
That's why the forgery part of the electoral act was removed

Even those that left ogbomosho and Ibadan to come learn about the sophisticatiion of the sophisticated were flogged mercilessly while crying on queues to get a sophisticated half loaf of bread in a sophisticated Lagos

Damn

You would see this report and think they are up against heavy machinery
Meanwhile it's local guns and motorcycles in APC states

And yes Anambra is APGA in name but Apcheat by rule
Funny how these moves hardly occur up north

PigTormentor:
So sad for the way they are being treated. But I'm to see that the story totally ignore an important information. How did they end up in the prison in the first place.
It's not an excuse but it should be part of the story.

[b]Suspect (File photo)

Twenty-three Nigerians are on the death row in Saudi Arabia. They may be beheaded any time from now. Besides, 11 are serving various jail terms for drug trafficking in the kingdom.

Another suspected trafficker is awaiting trial.

The 23 death row inmates could not be named for “diplomatic and sensitivity” reasons.

Unless President Muhammadu Buhari intervenes, the death toll could be higher, a source said.

The “late” response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to a memo from the Nigerian Consul-General, Amb. M. S. Yunusa, is believed to have contributed to the execution of a Nigerian woman, Kudirat Adeshola Afolabi about two weeks ago.

It was learnt that the ministry had been “diplomatically slow” in responding to issues connected with Nigerians.

No ministry official was willing to comment on the allegation yesterday.

The Consul-General wrote twice to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chief Geoffrey Onyeama, on December 3, 2018 and February 6, 2019, raising the alarm over the plight of Nigerians in Saudi Arabia.

He said the nation should endeavour to use its diplomatic bond with Saudi Arabia to seek pardon for all our compatriots condemned to death and for those serving various jail terms.

But more worrisome to the Consul-General is what he believe is the security lapse at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Kano, which is being used for massive drug trafficking.

The envoy admitted that there is a drug syndicate at the airport.

He alleged that the syndicate in cahoots with greedy airline officials at MAKIA were checking in extra bags containing prohibited drugs.

He said members of the syndicate had been using particulars of innocent passengers and baggage tags to smuggle drugs leading to the arrest of Nigerians who had no links with drug trafficking.

One of the memos said: “Furthermore, it is with humility that I bring to the Honourable Minister‘s knowledge that, sadly, there are a number of Nigerians arrested for alleged drug related offence who are currently in detention at Dhahban Prison (Male Section) and Madina Prison (Male & Female Sections). Mission was unable to gain Consular access to them as the host authorities have flatly refused to grant permission for such despite several requests to that effect.

“Following the outcome of investigations carried out by both the NDLEA and the Nigeria Police (Kano State Command) the Honourable Minister may wish to note that:

“There exists a criminal syndicate collaborating with greedy officials of some airlines at MAKIA, notably Ethiopian and Egyptian Airlines, who connive to check in drug-laden bags, using passenger’s particulars without their consent or knowledge;

“Nigerian victims of the activities of these criminal gangs were arrested and detained in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for drug trafficking offences they did not commit;

“The outcome of investigations by the Nigeria Police and NDLEA absolved these victims of complicity in the crime of peddling drugs into the Kingdom. The investigations further established beyond reasonable doubts that the victims were unaware of the drug-laden baggage that were checked in bearing their particulars by unknown persons at MAKIA, Kano;

“All the suspected culprits had been apprehended and a case of criminal conspiracy, breach of trust and drug trafficking has been established against them, hence, they were arraigned at the Federal High Court, Kano;

“There are 24 Nigerians who were condemned to death between 2016 2018 for drug trafficking in contravention of the Kingdom’s Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances Control Law issued under Decree No. M/39 dated 8/7/1428AH;

“There are 12 Nigerian women currently serving various jail terms at Dhahban prison for drug smuggling.

“Meanwhile, the following drug traffickers are serving various jail terms:

a) Halimat Oyebanjo Oyaya – 10 years

b) Sherifat Shawni – 4 years

c) Limata Ahmad – 10 years

d) Halimat Isah – 5 years

e) Olubumi Adejarani Olaniyan – 10 years

f) Omobolanle Funke – 15 years

g) Nuratu Bolanle Yusuf – 15 years

h) Maryam Ibrahim Tanko – 7 years

i) Rahma Abdulkarim 20 years

j) Nuratu Yusuf Abike – 20 years

k) Bolaji Kehinde – 10 years

I)Yasirat Abolanle Salau – awaiting trail.

“There are a number of Nigerians accused of drug trafficking incarcerated at various Saudi Prisons but the Mission was unable to undertake consular visits due to refusal by the Saudi authorities to grant permission for such visits despite repeated requests and

“Drug smuggling into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by Nigerians has reached an alarming proportion and all hands must be on deck to check this menace.”[/b]

I don't like it when Yorubas try to deny their decision to align with Northern Nigeria to stop Igbos from seceding in 1967.

If Yorubas were fighting for the so-called invasion of their land, they ought to have stopped the moment they chased Igbos out of their perceived Yoruba territory or even tell Gowon to let Igbos go with their region while they, Yorubas continued with the one-Nigeria with the North and Midwest, wasn't that supposed to be the case?


On how Tinubu has been destroying the fabrics of Nigeria; are you not a Nigerian? Can't you see the dangerous, toxic, nepotistic and divisive politics Bola Tinubu has been playing ever since he became President even though he has always used same to hold down Lagos state even before 2023 Presidential election.

If you doubt me, go back and make a google search about: Jimmy Agbaje of PDP being accused of being Omo Igbo as far back as 2015 and 2019.....it will be a total dishonesty on your part or on the part of any Yoruba man or woman alive today to deny that Bola Tinubu divided Nigeria so badly along ethnic lines even more than Buhari that started it

They love believing in lies
It's amazing really

Yemmysworld91:
I don't agree with you but I respect your opinion. I don't remember any issue rearing it head from the south east as of 1999. Massob came with obasanjo presidency.
But will the south east and the south west ever unite in this political game?
In your second paragraph, you just mentioned one point most South Easterners don't agree with , the fact that they need to work with other regions if they want the disintegration.
The north remain politically savvy, the south west is trying but can never be politically united. But the south east ehn.. Make i leave am there

If una accept the truth e no go do una anything na
This living in lies and delusions is doing your lot a lot of harm
Smh

Igbo people go dey these people mind 24/7
This is beyond obsession o😂😂

Diplomatic what??
Ahahahaaha
The only and i repeat the only reason the north agreed to that nonsense was because the entire country was tired of northern presidents
Throw in the fact they knew Obasanjo will beat Falae hands down
Abiola that was busy sponsoring coups
🤣🤣🤣
Again you guys are hilarious 😂

Seems IBB did the right thing in 1985
Nothing else to say

He has always been an APC member for years but comes to Nairaland to pretend to be a neutral observer. I've always known him as a paid pretentious propagandist on this platform.
Just look at the weak damage control he's trying to do here

It's shocking

Better. I was forced to create this thread this morning.

These people knew our opinion/ideology are entirely different, yet they are not interested in respecting it apart from coming online to be attacking others daily.

Wait isn't that what you do on a daily basis...
Never mind

New York Times Did Not Say That A Screwdriver Seller Provided Targetting Intelligence For The Sokoto Missile Strike.

Strangely some people have claimed that the New York Times said that a screwdriver seller in Onitsha provided targetting intelligence for the US missile strike in Sokoto. The paper/article never said any such thing (I will post the full article on this thread).

Clearly these people did not read the New York Times article. I wonder if it's because it was behind a pay wall.

In simple terms this is what the article actually said.

1) Emeka Umeagbalasi set up several NGOs including one called International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (or InterSociety for short).

2) He, his wife and his friend are the only members of the board of the NGO.

3) He rarely goes to northern Nigeria where the insurgency is raging.

4) Yet he was publishing numbers of Christians that have been killed in the insurgency in the north.

5) Here's an example of what that means. Remember that some Muslims girls were kidnapped from a school in Kebbi State late last year?

https://www.nairaland.com/8563474/teacher-killed-25-girls-abducted

He listed them among Christians that have been kidnapped.

He has never ever been to the school before.

6) When the reporter told him that the girls were Muslim, he said that the government changed the names of the girls in order to deceive people.

7) Any time this guy hears that there has been an attack in the north, he'll list the victims as Christians, without even verifying if they are actually Christians.

8 ) It is this man's figures that Senator Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and other Republican politicians are citing as the number of Christians that have been killed in Nigeria.

9) That's why they are saying that there is a Christian genocide.

This thing is so easy to understand.

This one has finally shown his APC membership card

This is really sad

Gumi, who has long advocated amnesty and negotiation for bandits, further claimed that Fulani herdsmen had lived peacefully with other ethnic groups for centuries and are only reacting to injustices they suffered.

He urged the Tinubu administration to unify and rehabilitate the armed groups into the army instead of launching military offensives against them.

OsunOriginal:
Good move... What does he want to achieve with all the senseless posts and noise? Turn the country upside down because of the fanatical ethnic clashes over land (painted as persecution against christians) as if the whole of Nigeria is Benue - a remote farming land which is not up to 1% of Nigeria. Isn't there a governor (a pastor) in Benue to report to? He wants agents of destabilization to destroy the country's economy and throw 240 million people into endless chaos. Chaos that would worsen the situation of the people the short-sighted illiterate thinks he is defending.

I can't believe someone actually wrote this nonsense
That author was right
You guys are really fantastic birds
Chai!!!

Why is that is the gremli.n.s that are celebrating Kanu's conviction?
Is there something they are not telling us😄😄
Uwazurike did biafra before kanu
They areso many pro biafra groups that celebrating one man's conviction borders on insanity if you think it will quell that agitation
