PoliticsRe: N5.9b Water Project Rots In Otuoke, Ogbia - Bayelsa - Jonathan’s Town by Cantonese: 8:04am On Jan 29, 2020
Talk about corruption. With 5.9b for water and it packed up almost immediately. Was there no maintainance agreement with the contractors?

If it was a federal government project how did it become Dickson's issue? Where is the minister in charge? Where are the contractors? Why would they stop paying staff salaries? How did it suddenly become private property with some people collecting rent? Could Jonathan no complain to government? Apparently Jonathan has done nothing about it since he has good water in his own compound.

Na wa for this country sef.
PoliticsRe: PDP’s Jerry Alagboso Wins Imo Supplementary Election by Cantonese: 7:38am On Jan 29, 2020
Racoon:
This is how the APC have been winning election by remote control.Anytime they sense defeat, they will use subterfuge to circumvent due process.Thanks to the resolute determination of the INEC officials.Too bad.
So you can see how they use the Police, arm twist the judges, use EFCC, thugs and money to secure positions.

It is difficult to see where the APC government is leading this country with so much lies, propaganda, threat and failure.
With the kind of politics and politicians that we have it is difficult to see this country achieving greatness.

Gone are the days when your tribe or race did not really matter. The Yorubas, Hausas and Fulanis opened our eyes to racism. The way it is how can we prosper when all we now know is "my people", "my community", my this, my that.

Nigeria truly needs sanitisation.
CelebritiesRe: Juwon Awe Killed By Suspected Herdsmen In Kwara by Cantonese: 6:20pm On Jan 28, 2020
Amotekun should be allowed to commence operations.

We must have return of Bakassi in the South east. Another version of regional security in the South South, especially in the Port harcourt axis.

Another version in the North central is needed.

The North east and North west are already covered by hisbah, civilian JTF, army, police, airforce, civil defence, ex service men and ex herdsmen. So they do not require another version of Amotekun there.

You are right. The viciousness in his face makes it appear like the useless husband was owing him before. Or maybe the husband snatched the lady from hin when they were younger Who knows he might have been servicing the woman secretly or one or more of the woman's children was by him.

He is the O/C killing. Looking at his face he appears like he is a professional human eater or human flesh merchant. He even resembles a vampire. Certainly the police will arrest him. As picture no dey lie we can see that he was in charge of the killing. Through him other killers like him and the man who shot his wife in that community would be found and dealt with severely.

PoliticsRe: Femi Adesina: Bombing Has Reduced, Nigerians Should Be Thankful by Cantonese: 2:14pm On Jan 27, 2020
Almost 5 years in governance and we still hear about the looting and corruption in Jonathan's government. What a big shame!

For me nothing has changed so far. It is the same proverbial "old wine in a new skin". Buhari make pro boko haram comments politically to hound Jonathan out of office before 2015. Under his watch we have witnessed serious embarrassments to his government by boko haram. We have witnessed the infiltration of ISIS into Nigerian soil. We have witnessed the break up of boko haram with a faction joining ISIS to form ISWAP. Boko haram has large swaths of territories in the north. Herdsmen increased their tempo with mass murder of innocent citizens. The south west chose to improve security in their territory with Amotekun and the attorney general claiming it is illegal.

Just like Reuben Abati under Jonathan, this Adesina man has proven to us that journalists should not be trusted to tell us the truth. The moment they find juicy positions in government, they show the other side of who they truly are. Hopefully when this government leaves he will remember to write something good about the leader if he finds a position in another government.
PoliticsRe: Buhari To EU: We Will Defeat Boko Haram With Civil War Experience by Cantonese: 9:13pm On Jan 25, 2020

FamilyRe: Son-in-law Impregnates Mother-in-law Who Came To Take Care Of Newborn Baby (pics by Cantonese: 5:32pm On Jan 25, 2020
Possibly the baba would not have been the father of the deceased Faith. Perhaps Faith's mum found herself in that situation but quickly arranged herself with another man and produced Faith. Mr. Kwange seeing Faith from his wife accepted the child.

Faith too faced the same predicament. She had her son after four years of waiting. So one may just say that Mr. Kwange has fertility challenges.

However it is the matter settled itself. The son in law got himself a wife. He should continue the "marriage" jeje and continue taking care of the two children.

LiteratureRe: Chimamanda Adichie Vs Arthur Eze: A Documentary By Chimamanda by Cantonese: 7:29pm On Jan 23, 2020
Nodogragra4me:
He rejected the kingship. He was supposed to mount the throne. It was their turn to produce the igwe
My brother remember the proverb that says "in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is the king". With his wealth and political reach, could the kingship have gone another way? How can you prove that it was their turn to produce the Igwe? The late John Nebolisa moved all the moveables to become the king of Awkuzu, when it was not the turn of his clan to produce the king.

As a king how would Arthur Eze have been able to manage his business, politics and kingship. Do not let us deceive ourselves that his money played the largest role in getting the kingship to his family. What is more? Who would have opposed him in his community?

Just like one person observed earlier, he has the money, but Chimamanda has the pen. Do not forget the role of courage in battles. If the people of Abba and Ukpo and surrounding towns have always feared the "mighty" Arthur Eze, there now is a "small" Chimamanda, courageous enough to take him up.

Something tells me that Chimamanda will prevail in the battle for that piece of land called a market.

Cheers bro.
PoliticsRe: Maerskline Plans To Dump Lagos Ports For Onne Port, Stakeholders React by Cantonese: 11:02am On Jan 23, 2020
With Maerskline relocating so is Safmarine I guess.

Other large shipping companies like China shipping, etc should toe the same path.

Very clearly certain leadership policies have bestowed undue advantages to certain parts and tribes of this country to the detriment and systematic underdevelopment of others. Imagine the greed and unfairness of the southwesterners and fulanis in their attempt to retain federal power in 2023 with their well calculated effort to stop the restructuring of this country. We see why they clamour to hold on to power and kill themselves.

With the undue advantage of the ports in Apapa and Tin can billions arrive into tbe accounts of Apapa local government and Lagos state every year to the disadvantage of other states with sea ports. With the under utilisation of ports outside Lagos, no growth.

Take the case of Onitsha. For several years we have heard stories of plans to dredge the river. Without the dredging of the river, ships cannot get to the east, whereas there is a sea port there. It is not in doubt that the biggest port users in this country are the south easterners with a lot of the cargoes going to the south east. Now the cost of transportation, which is the exclusive domain of the northerners nd southwesterners has become unbearable. The effect is the high cost of goods in the market. Also yearly communities on the bank of the river suffer severe flooding. Nothing has been done now and there is no hope for that.

Rather than ensure goood functioning ports, government allowed bonded terminals as a way out. With bonded terminals a few people smile to the bank daily. Even the bonded terminals no longer receive cargos as they are faced with the same traffic problems.

Badagry should be developed for effective use. That way importers within Babagry road can choose the sea port when they ship their cargoes. If shipping companies spread destination sesports, ease of business improves. Southwest cargos can come here to the southwest and south eastern cargoes can go to Onne, Onitsha, Warri, etc. That will boost the economy of the states and employment would be created. Ports in Lagos would be decongested, traffic would improve and truck queues would vanish.

We know what to do in this country to make it better, but we always put greed and tribalism first in all that we do.

LiteratureRe: Chimamanda Adichie Vs Arthur Eze: A Documentary By Chimamanda by Cantonese: 8:19am On Jan 23, 2020
Every reasonable person hopefully loves his/her community and would be easily willing to help and defend the community.

Is Chief Arthur Eze amassing the lands for personal purposes? This question is very crucial bearing in mind that he installed his brother as the king of the town. Apparently the Eze family holds his community by the jugular.

Is Chimamanda in this struggle to extricate her community from future servitude under a neighbouring community in these comtemporary times, or is she doing this to establish a personal legacy in her community?

In the end I think that in spite of the court rulings over that disputed area, reason will prevail before there is an outbreak of war between the communties.

Lastly the police should remain very neutral in this matter for lasting peace to be put in place.

PoliticsRe: Amotekun: Afenifere Accuses Tinubu Of Doublespeak by Cantonese: 8:02am On Jan 23, 2020
GoTV:
sad As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i think this amoketun issue is being hypocritically blown out of proportion to expand hatred for other tribes especially the Fulanis. Why must we Christians be the brain behind the vast support for Amotekun when the Nigerian constitution is clear about the roles of the armed forces and police in the security of the country? Why must we form an ethnic militia to target fellow Nigerians when the constitution guarantees freedom of movement and doing business nationwide as long as we are Nigerians? What we fail to realize is that the south east cheering on Amotekun sees its as a synonym for their biafra agitations and they will rather support anything that will disband the relative peace and unity of Nigeria. The IPOB sympathizers will be the one to cry wolf when Amotekun starts targeting their tribesmen who commits various crimes in the south west. MURIC recently condemned the killing of a CAN pastor and sympathized with we Christians, how many Christians will condemn the killing of an imam or Muslims? Instead we rejoice when tragedy strikes them forgetting we are all humans before religion. Instead of emulating our Muslim brothers who have remained silent on this issue of Amotekun, we Christians are disturbing the cyberspace with hypocritical comments. Amotekun will never see the light of the day as long as we remain one Nigeria. It's a bad policy and a tribalistic security outfit aimed at persecuting other Nigerians. On behalf of we Christians, i condemn Amotekun. Let's learn to live in peace and harmony sad
Hahahahahahahaha. But we can all see through your smokescreen bro. You are not a Christian neither are you a Yoruba person.
Lesson to be learnt: Never join the wrong crowd to condemn what you know nothing about.

Wow!
Durbar hotel never belonged to Abacha family. They actually were two of them sited in Lagos and Kaduna. The Lagos branch was rebranded Festac 77, located at Mile 2, Amuwo odofin area. Abacha took over the hotel using proxies. It was a federal government owned property. Abacha's looting capacity has not been matched by any Nigerian. He also took over a piece of land in Port harcourt GRA belonging to a prominent Nigerian. He built a glass house there and at his demise the property completely built then was restored to the original owner by the courts.

Abacha family should just bow their faces in shame. El Rufai should be commended please.
