Really...why must the routine test be around his vicinity and why go with Live amunitions ...

SAME FAILED APPROACH

Is This The Only Way?

Do not we all know areas of VIOLENCE that this military action is more suited for?
This is the approach that Yar Adua used on Yusuf's Boko Haram that gave us the Boko Haram menace of today.

It is what Abacha did to Saro Wiwa and Obasanjo did in Odi that birthed Niger Delta militancy

This same useless bluster in the Niger Delta by BUHARI is what PLUNGED NIGERIA INTO RECESSION when militants retaliated by bombing oil installations.

Osinbajo and co went and USED THEIR HEADS by using the PEACE, AMNESTY and POVERTY ALLEVIATION ROUTE and TEMPLATE DEPLOYED BY YAR'ADUA AND GEJ and for over a year there has been no destruction of oil facilities and now we are OUT OF RECESSION brought on in the first place by mumu leadership style of FAKE TOUGH BUHARI.

Today, in a situation where simple intelligent counter-argument and poverty alleviation and actual more inclusive National governing can pull the rug from under Nnamdi Kanu, the Federal Government chooses the routes and strategies that have failed us in the North East, Niger Delta and now...

Everyone knows I have never supported IPOB but in all FAIRNESS I ask how many people IPOB has killed for the EAST to be UNDER SIEGE. How many?

I warned immediately Buhari took power that bombing the Niger Delta would cost Nigeria. It took recession for them to see what we saw and spoke up over. Today again we are saying "end this PEACEFUL annoyances (not yet even an agitation) in the East by simply changing strategy and running an all-inclusive government.

Instead of simply ballancing appointments and projects, and giving assurances of ONENESS, this APC leadership thinks sending in the army to kill is a better solution.

Nnamdi Kanu is not special. In fact he is very flawed. That he could muster such followership is proof that there are very dry tinder for anyone to set ablaze. Like Tompolo and co replaced Saro Wiwa, so will many and even less refined people replace Nnamdi Kanu.


.We are watching

The blood thirsty vampires are in the east to drink Igbo blood but they do not know that Igbo blood speaks .

The ones they killed in 1967-70 is still speaking on Biafra hence the continued agitation.

Let them open fire on all they see. Blood actualises freedom.

This is headed for front page since its against Nnamdi Kanu.

Call me when it hits Fp

Lalasticlala Seun this article resonates with the case of Nigeria

STILL ON THE RESTRUCTURING MATTER

Let us make some clarification with places where the system has worked. And California is a dream come true. So quickly fasten your seat belts and enjoy.

California is the 6th largest economy in the world. Its economy is larger than that of France or Brazil.

The little problem is that California is not a country. It is a State in the United States of America. It has little offshore oil, yet its economy is larger than most States in the USA that are famous for their oil reserves, like Texas.

California generates much of its revenue from non-oil products. It found a way to absorb and domesticate much of the intellectual output from its premier University, Stanford University, into saleable products within its economy.

As a matter of fact, much of California's economy is built around Stanford University. So with this, Silicon valley developed.

I am sure you have heard of Silicon Valley at least once in your life. Now with Silicon Valley came companies like Apple, eBay, Cisco, Lockheed, Hewlett Packard (HP), Google, Netflix, Facebook, Oracle, Tesla, and the list goes on and on ad infinitum, and these are multibillion-Dollar companies.

The yearly budget of any one of these companies might be larger than the entire yearly budgets of some Nigerian States like Lagos, Kano and Akwa Ibom State.

I am taking about companies that are richer than countries. They are all in California. But that is just in the technology industry where the technologies and inventions spewing out of Stanford are caught midair and converted to money spinning enterprises.

There is also the entertainment industry in California. Yes, Hollywood is in California.

The US movies industry contributes about $504 Billion to USA's GDP. Hollywood, as you know, contributes over 70% of that figure. Most iconic movie studios are in Hollywood.

As a matter of fact, the "Big Eight" consisting of 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer), Paramount Pictures, RKO Radio Pictures, United Artists, Universal Studios and Warner Bros are, or were, all in Hollywood. These again, are multi-billion Dollars companies generating revenue for California.

Despite the above, California also thrives on Agriculture. As at 2014, California had nothing less than 77,000 farms and ranches raking in about $55 Billion in revenue yearly. It produces over 400 Agricultural commodities, a large chunk of which it exports. It is the leader in producing exotic fruits in America.

Its wine industry is unique. California wine is drunk with relish the world over. I used to drink some nonalcoholic ones too.

This is just one State in America!!!

You see, California actually had a choice of sitting back and striving to get a piece of the revenue generated from Texas' oil.

It could have depended solely on Federal allocation to survive so that every month end, it will send its Commissioner of Finance to Washington DC to receive monthly allocation so that it can barely pay salaries of its workers and nothing more.

Then San Francisco would resemble Angwan Lambu in Keffi, Nasarawa State or Ajegunle in Lagos. And there certainly would not be those beautiful sights and sounds that make California what it is today.

But No, not California. Not America. California gives to the center and, because of its wealth, despises the idea of depending on it for survival. The Federal Government actually needs California to survive, not the other way round.

You see, America is structured in such a way that States must look inwards to exploit their wealth for the good of its citizens.

There is no free lunch for the lazy States. There certainly is no commonwealth. But there is your wealth, if you can create it.

Under American Federalism, you are the captain of your ship. But again, you are also the waves upon which the ship will sail. That is America!!!

The Local Government, the government closest to the grassroot, is deliberately made the strongest level of government. Items like Variances (adaptation of State law to local conditions,) Public works (yes, public works!!), Contracts for public works, Licensing of public accommodations, Assessable improvements, Basic public services are all left for local county governments to handle.

The State handles weightier matters like Property law, Education, Commerce laws of ownership and exchange, Banking and Credit laws, Labour law and professional licensure, Insurance laws, and Electoral laws, including parties and Civil service laws.

Items that the Federal Government, the center, handles affecting the States, are actually very negligible.

Nigeria on the contrary will never do well unless we restructure. We pretend to have a Federal system but we are actually operating a unique form of unitary government, and it is weighing the polity down.

Can you imagine a country where the school curriculum is regulated by a national central body and States have no powers to vary or amend their curriculum?

So, if the rest of the developed world is light years ahead in what they teach their children from primary schools, and our Minister of Education has absolutely no clue, the States must be burdened with antiquated school curriculum until such a time (if we are lucky, before rapture perhaps!!) that we have an Education Minister who would realise how far behind we are and bring the curriculum up to date.

Just take a look at the science curriculum for Grade students in advanced countries and you would cry for Nigeria.

I recently read of a high school in Japan which has amended its curriculum to include robotics and drones technology.

IN HIGH SCHOOL!! But some of our Professors here may not know anything about Robotics even!!!

Students are still taught the very prehistoric rudiments of physics and chemistry in our schools. And this is even in the few schools that teachers and students still meet in the classrooms!

For the few public schools that are lucky to have labs, all you see are miserable nameless creatures trapped in formalin, to which nobody ever pays attention.

These creatures suffer a double jeopardy having suffered the first misfortune of being caught and preserved in formalin in Nigeria, and then thereafter completely ignored, even in death!

And because the control of our curriculum is central, there is nothing States can do about this. Thanks to Educational Ministers like Adamu Adamu.

You would think this is not a problem until you understand that Nigerians spend over ONE TRILLION NAIRA every year to study abroad.

You see, the reason why you have Cambridge, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Oxford, etcetera is not only for academic excellence of the citizens of the countries which have these schools.

No!!! They invest in their institutions so that they can earn revenue from foreign students from countries like Nigeria which has destroyed its educational system.

And when groups like ASUU and NARDS embark on strikes to correct the anomalies, some regional robots perch the elites with insults for standing for a better Nigeria, just because the President dresses like them.

Abroad, schools are so important to society that the economy, business and lifestyle of whole Cities and even States completely depend on or revolve around schools.

What would the city of cambridge be without Cambridge University?! Or Cambridge, Massachusett without Harvard University?!

These cities depend on these Universities to survive.

And imagine that Nigeria had invested in its Universities and was earning $1billion Dollars a year from foreign students seeking to study here, who would be fighting over oil in the Niger Delta?

How many car manufacturing companies would we have in Owerri near FUTO where students are constantly doing and selling their research products to burgeoning engineering and manufacturing companies?

Recently, three students in Sweden conducted research and came up with a product that could improve wear and tear on tyres. The product became so successful that Volvo had to partner with these students to patent the product.

Now when this product hit world stage, can you imagine how much revenue Sweden would earn from these product?

Do your research, most of the world-class products we buy today off the shelf, at great cost, were invented by University students.

As you are reading this, do not forget that without Harvard University, there would not have been facebook, and this our interface would have been impossible.

But our students In Nigeria are not entirely without inventions. We invented the Pyrates Confraternity, the , the Eiye, the Vikings and what not!!

Some students resume school with guns and bullets, rather than books and scholastic ideas, as though academic institutions were a war college.

Some Lecturers fly criminal colors as do students. And when the turf war begins, people die in droves.

But States can do nothing about this because some of these Institutions are controlled by the Federal Government.

Even for the ones controlled by States, you still can not do much because the security apparatus is controlled by the Federal Government.

The Federal Government will provide or withdraw security from the State, depending on whether it is happy with the sitting Governor or not. The cases of Rivers, Plateau and Lagos States are apt examples.

So every year, all sorts of characters are vomited from Nigerian Universities to take their place in Nigerian society. So you have Judges, Lawyers, Engineers, Doctors and so forth whose first and primary allegiance is to their cult group, religious group, ethnic group or other sectoral prejudices, before the Country. The multiplier effect of this, is a treatise for another day.

But suffice to say that as long as this problem persist, let us forget about Silicon Valley in Nigeria, because there will never be a Stanford University here to provide an infinite supply of ideas and prodigies to feed the invention value-chain!

Nigeria cannot wake up from its slumber today because it cannot lift its head above prejudices and sentiments.

The entire weight of its existence is concentrated in its head. From the viewpoint of government, the weight is In Abuja. From the viewpoint of revenue source, the weight is in the Niger-Delta. We need to urgently restructure and evenly distribute this pressure points and weights to diffuse tension in Nigeria.

We need to revisit the exclusive legislative list in the Constitution and systematically reduce the responsibilities of the Federal Government vis-a-vis the States.

Resources have to be handed back to the States that generated them but place an obligation on each States to contribute an agreed percentage to the common Federal purse to service obligations of the Federal Government.

There is no reason Education, Policing, Prisons (only people convicted of Federal offenses should go to Federal prisons!!), Ports, Inland waterways, natural minerals, even Marriage (yes, English form of marriage!!) and so many other items should be the concern of the Federal Government.

We will never develop with such weight that weigh us down at the center!!!

Nigeria can never raise its head in the comity of nations because of the sheer weight of the head.

There is more to say, but scarcely any time. But to emphasis the point I have been labouring to make, may I say again that there is absolutely no reason or need to fight for oil in the Niger-Delta.

There are so many things that can bring more revenue to States in Nigeria than oil.

South Africa has no oil, but it has Gold, and is richer than Nigeria.

Let us fight for a system that will promote both equality and equity.

Let us restructure Nigeria now for national development, peace and progress.

Lol, very funny. Lol

Had a friend who could not approach hospital for over 8 months for fear of the result. He promised heaven a Bentley if he comes out clean.

Today he is back to business after the test.

You are addicted to sex with whores that's a problem you need to address first.

Whatever your result comes out to be. You won't stop. It's an addiction you need to deal with. The images of how the several customers you have there give it to you won't just leave because you did test and result came out.

Bro...life is too sweet when you have money to be toyed with in the hands of strange women.

Okay na

Ok

Yea

Nigeria will be swallowed up soon. We are at the Brink and it's ticking...

Soon and very soon. The center won't be able to hold

chatted today with the military attache to an embassy in Nigeria today in a breakfast table and inquired his opinion on Nigeria and all the political wranglings. Restructuring and quest to secede by South East.

He said Nigerian government is not strategic enough.
Force has never worked and won't start working now.
He said their position on what is going on in South East is DIALOGUE and respect for human right.

He said his government has written to the government of Nigeria suggestin solutions since August last year but never got a response and he said he was sure Nations have written too.

He said there are about 7 nations currents seeking to secede and UN and regional bodies are observing their approach. Only Nigeria seeks to use force and it won't work. It is natural to compare their approaches and question why Nigeria will apply force.

I reminded him that Palestine quest for true state and that of Saharawe are strongly supported by the current president. His response shocked me. He said, more reason all of us are surprised at the double standard. But we are closely observing it and reporting back home.

I asked him, do you envisage war.? He said yes. Force will push people to the wall and military action will trigger civil war. He said war will balkanize Nigeria. Dialogue will save it.

Why will war balkanize Nigeria? I asked. He said, the interest of the global community always determines where their military goes. All wars going on today has vested interest in them. Nigeria's oil which is one of the best but was barely known in 1960 to 1970 is now known. That will define interests.

I have kept thinking of our discussion all day. He has been in Nigeria since 2010 and now understands us.

Imagine that the op took the pain of researching to run another man's business down. And it's possible his own family is wallowing in abject poverty.

Time For The Ipob Miscreants To Match Their Chest Beatings With Action!

IPOB is not dumb. They will change strategy. One thing movement of military will achieve for IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu is that Anambra election will suffer it. People will be disgruntled by their presence when Bokoharam and Fulani herdsmen men carry on unabated.

The military will sure harass and probably kill innocent people and simpathy for IPOB increases. Amnesty international and the world is observing. move if you ask me

If you want to make front page. Create anti-ipob or Anti Biafra topics with kangaroo sources. The mods masturbate on it.

Jokers

The lawyer lost his application when the judge struck out his list of applications to restrain IPOB.

Here is the punchline

The judge only granted the order of substituted service on Kanu and IPOB, and refused all the other reliefs sought by the applicant and asked that all parties in the suit be put on notice.

In refusing to grant the other reliefs sought by Ndubuaku , the judge said that the Federal Government had the capacity to ensure that elections held in Anambra.

Substituted method of court notice is a global practice. When courts can't reach an individual or groups they even publish on newspapers.

These guys are jokers

oladeebo:
Another method of substituted service is "service by publication" also called "constructive service" in some jusridictions. Service by publication is used to give "constructive notice" to a defendant who is intentionally absent, in hiding, or unknown

The applicant prayed the judge for many things but he struck it out on the basis that FG has mandate to make election hold.

Read

The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Tuesday granted the request seeking to serve court processes on Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) through substituted service.

The court, however, ordered that other respondents in the matter, namely: the Inspector-General of Police, the Commandant General, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the Attorney-General of the Federation be served personally.

Justice B.O. Quadri gave the order following an ex-parte application by Mr Richard Ndubuaku for an order of court for substituted service of all the processes of the court on the defendants by publishing them in two national newspapers.

Ndubuaku, who made the application through his counsel, Mr Smart Iheazor, also asked the court to make an order restraining the respondents, whether by themselves, members or agents from disrupting the forthcoming Anambra election.

He also asked the court to make an order restraining Kanu and all members of IPOB from interfering, intimidating and harassing all registered and eligible voters in the Nov. 18 Anambra election.

He further asked the court to prevent Kanu and IPOB from mobilising its members either by threat or undue influence to scuttle the election, pending the determination of the originating summons.

Iheazor told the court that his client premised his application on the grounds that Kanu and IPOB had severally made utterances and threats which were published in newspapers which they had not denied or retracted.

“From the antecedents of Kanu and the activities of IPOB, they are capable of carrying out their threat.

“Serving the processes of this suit on the them by publishing in two national newspapers will bring same to their knowledge as it will be dangerous and difficult to effect personal service on them.

“The applicant has several businesses and business interests and houses in Onitsha and Awka with over 100 staff that will be affected if the threats of Kanu and IPOB are carried out.”

Iheazor further explained that the applicant was almost 70 years old and may lose all his life investments in Awka and Onitsha and may not withstand the destruction of his life long struggle.

The judge, however, only granted the order of substituted service on Kanu and IPOB, and refused all the other reliefs sought by the applicant and asked that all parties in the suit be put on notice.

In refusing to grant the other reliefs sought by Ndubuaku , the judge said that the Federal Government had the capacity to ensure that elections held in Anambra.

He adjourned the matter until Oct. 10 for hearing.(NAN)

Why didn’t you mention this in your earlier post if not for mischief.

The court, however, ordered that other respondents in the matter, namely: the Inspector-General of Police, the Commandant General, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the Attorney-General of the Federation be served personally.

Substituted Service Definition:
A method of delivery of a court document on a person other than in-person and generally subject to pre-authorization by the Court.

"Where for any reason it is impracticable to (personally) serve a document ..., the court may order substituted service, whether or not there is evidence that the document will probably reach the person to be served or will probably come to the person's attention or that the person is evading service.

"Substituted service of a document is effected by taking the steps that the court has ordered to bring the document to the attention of the person to be served."

This simply means that Nnamdi Kanu & ipob had taken their struggle too far beyond the legal reach!
And this will cost the Biafra struggle dearly!
oladeebo

Keep deceiving ignorant and gullible minds.

Courts adopt all methods necessary for notice dependent on prevailing circumstances.

So how is it a blow to the IPOB struggle. The notice to Kanu can be served to his lawyers if they are his established counsel in any existing case and their office is in Abuja here.

Kanu will be in Abuja as his case opens this month.

Can you now stop masturbatin and deceiving people

okay

DocHMD:
This cantankerous illiterate pro-abooki anti-Biafran mongrel who can't decipher the meaning of Bail "in like sum" even if it's surgically implanted into his thick cranium wants to be taken seriously on his scrutiny on Kanu's educational achievements? Maybe his pea-brained zombies-in-arms can help take him seriously.

punchline. infact upper cut, smack down

This country will break one day. It's inevitable

17th of this Month Nnamdi will be in Abuja.

It will be an interesting day

You go fear chinchun Suu.
