This is a trash topic

If you are poor, why does the Senate take home more than U.S senators?

Why does the Presidency budget billions for their kitchen?

Why do they spend billions to rehabilitate every time?

Why do they spend billions on new cars every 2 to 4 years?

If you're asked to provide evidence/proof to back up your claims you will have none. Making such baseless accusations is an insult to the victims too.
You claim to know it's a terrorist attack but yet you can't say who or which group or even their motives.
Is this the first time a tanker has caused deaths in the south east? Nwane stop with the falsehood, playing victim and the tribal card won't get you no sympathy.
RIP to those who lost their lives.

Should Obiano step his foot here, we will deal with him, the
only good governor we have is Peter Obi.
Watch the video and have your say.

TUANKU:
Those making allegations of terror attacks should provide proof/evidence to back their claims up.
Fear mongering is not a good thing. Jumping to conclusions based on sentiments. A petrol tanker intended for terrorism would be utilised in a way to cause maximum casualties not just a handful of people.
You people need to stop these baseless claims except of course you have evidence to back it up.
RIP to the victims, in the name of Jesus son of nwa Chineke.

Onitsha Terror Attacks: Another fuel tanker explodes in Onitsha

Barely 24 hours after a tanker laden with petroleum products fell into a ditch and spilled its contents in Onitsha, Anambra, which led to an explosion, another tanker laden with fuel has collapsed in the state, causing panic.
The new tanker tragedy occurred in the early hours of Friday, October 18, 2019, in Amagba Phase 2, Onitsha area of the state.

At the time of this report, casualty figures cannot be confirmed nor can the cause of the incident be ascertained. But video circulating on the internet shows onlookers on the site of the exploded tanker.

As reported on Pulse, the Wednesday, October 16, 2019 tanker explosion incident, claimed the lives of five persons, including a woman and her child.

More so, more than 100 shops were reportedly razed and goods such as clothing and electronic appliances were affected by the fire.

Most of them are not Igbos. No true Igbo with the current political climate in Nigeria will throw up such rubbish. Today, I can authoritatively conclude that globemoney moniker is a comfirmed illiterate. If he is part of Obiano's media team then our governor has low standard for employment. His government seems to be an all comers affair.

Edoloaded:
Guy's this is really serious

This is one States budget in USA
And still some of you think Nigeria can be like USA anytime soon.


Nigeria's budget #8.2trillion naira = 22.6 Billion United States Dollar


New York's budget 175 Billion United States Dollar = 63.3 Trillion Nigerian Naira




And you guys are expecting Miracle from where

Lol.... at Nigerians...
They want economic growth, yet anything that will bring economic growth, they will kill because of tribalism

Nigeria is actually doomed unless it can somehow re-invent itself through a detribalized leader.
Right now, only a military coup may save Nigeria.
Only an honest military man with patriotic zeal may reset Nigeria and kill tribalism. I wonder if such patriotic soldiers still exist?

Onitsha was the biggest market in West Africa, everything in Onitsha was completely destroyed during the biafran war , if not Onitsha should have been more industrial than Lagos

Nigeria Has A New International Airport In Asaba
by
Andrew Curran
September 9, 2019

Asaba, the capital city of Delta State in Nigeria, is ready to receive international flights again after the Nigerian Government gave it the tick of approval. According to a report in CH-Aviation, the Government has fast-tracked this approval. Hadi Sirika, Nigeria’s Aviation Minister is reported as saying the airport met “requirements” and that the Government did not want to wait any longer.

Aero Contractors is one of a couple of airlines currently flying into Asaba.

Asaba is located nearly 500 kilometres due east of Lagos. A census held 13 years ago put the local population at about half a million people. Whilst Asaba has long had an airport, it was previously a ramshackle affair and most locals used Benin City. The ‘new’ airport was rebuilt between 2008 and 2011 by the state government.

While the idea of the airport was fine – connecting Asaba locals to wider Nigeria and the world, it was also very much a vanity project. And like so many infrastructure projects, the building process was torturous. Once some initial flights began in 2011, Delta State Governor was reported in FlashPoint saying;

“I am so happy with this achievement. My dream has come true and all those who criticized the project will now shut up their mouth”.

A difficult time for Asaba Airport
The first customer at Asaba Airport was Overland Airlines. Commercial flights commenced from Asaba in July 2011. At the time, Delta State’s Commissioner for Information, Mr. Christopher Ogeah said;

“Overland Airline is going to be the premier operator of this airport at the beginning and I can assure you that other Nigerian indigenous airlines are also going to join them and make this a lucrative route for the airlines.”

It didn’t quite work out that way. Reportedly, by 2013, Asaba Airport was doing steady business. The Delta State Government was quoted as saying the airport was handling on average 260 flights a month and 6,880 passengers a month. At the time, both Overland Airlines and Arik Airlines linked Asaba with Lagos and Abuja.

But in 2015, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority stepped in and downgraded the airport’s capacity. According to The Guardian, the rundown runway, taxiways, lack of perimeter fence and poor personnel training meant larger jets like 737s could no longer use the airport, limiting scheduled passenger services to Overland Airlines’ ATR72s.

Restoration work at the airport

In 2016, work commenced on restoring the runway to a decent condition. Turboprop flights were able to keep operating for most of the time the work took place. The runway is 3.4 kilometres, theoretically able to take a 747. Like regional Governments everywhere, the Delta State Government had big ambitions for their airport.

Now the Nigerian Government is satisfied, the airport is able to safely get back to business and land jet aircraft. Whether the airport attracts any international services beyond ad hoc charters and publicity flights is another matter.

EgyptAir had a short-lived service between Asaba and Cairo but that appears to have been discontinued in March 2019. The primary customers now appear to be Aero Contractors and Air Peace who fly to Lagos and Abuja. Overland no longer flys in.

It has been a tempestuous short life for Asaba International Airport, but Africa is in dire need of good aviation infrastructure. Issues with funding, governance, and management have held Asaba back. If these issues can be sorted, Asaba International has half a chance of developing into a decent airport.

Fourteen Churches in Zamfara State, in Northern Nigeria are now facing demolition threat by the state government, which claims that there are too many Christian worship centers in the state. Zamfara state, which spearheaded the adoption of Islamic law in northern Nigeria contrary to the country's secular constitution, is predominantly Muslim, populated with less than a five percent Christian population.

The Chairman of the State Christian Complaint Commission, David Ishaya said last week in an interview in Kaduna, northern Nigeria political headquarters, that the State Commissioner of Lands and Housing, Alhaji Hassan Nasihu gave the directive for the demolition.

Among Churches slated for demolition in Gusau, the state capital, are the branches of Deeper Life Bible Church, Mountain of Fire and Miracle, Assemblies of God and Winners Chapel whose leaders have been invited for a meeting ahead of the demolition.

Apart from churches in the state capital, the Anglican Church in Kaura, Namoda, has been sealed up following disagreement over the ownership of the land of which the over 30 years Church was built.

Ishaya quoted the Commissioner for Lands, as saying that there was need to drastically reduce the number and curtail the growth of Churches in the state.

The Catholic Church and the Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA) according to the Commissioner have enough land to themselves and the other denominations should merge with them.

"Life in Zamfara is traumatic for Christians" the Chairman of the Christian Complaint Commission stated arguing that contrary to the state government's propaganda, the Sharia legal system was meant to annihilate Christians in Zamfara state.

He said Christians in Zamfara must be allowed to live as free citizens and practice their faith as provided for in the country's constitution.

Muslim extremists destroyed several churches and a pastor's house in the latest religious violence to hit Nigeria's northern Kano state, church representatives and rights activists said Friday, May 21.

One of the buildings and the pastor’s house were set ablaze on the premises of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) at Kwasam, in the Kiru Local Government area, while another building under construction was demolished, the church said.

Local Christians estimated that over 100 young people were involved in this week's attacks in the predominantly Muslim area.

Reverend Lado Abdul, who chairs the ECWA in Kano, linked the violence to youth who had abandoned the church after they "were converted to Islam." He said local Muslims objected to the presence of his church in the region.

Right group Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), which has closely monitored the case, said the ECWA Church leadership had earlier been forced to appear before a Shari’a court.

INDIGENOUS TRIBES

"Since its members are from tribes indigenous to the area, the church argued that the land on which the church stood was their inheritance, adding that they had nowhere else to go. Nevertheless, the court ruled in favor of the complainants."

Earlier the Baptist Church in the area of Banaka, Takai LGA, was also destroyed on May 15, CSW said, adding that "The church has now faced demolition on four separate occasions."

"After the previous demolition, a group of Christians from Kastina State paid for the construction of a new building, and also drilled a well for church members to use. However, during the demolition, the well was blocked off completely," CSW said in a statement.

CSW National Director Stuart Windsor National Director said the demolitions "violate Nigeria’s constitutional and international legal undertakings to uphold religious freedom and freedom of assembly."

While nobody was injured in these incidents, the attacks have underscored mounting tensions between Christians and Muslims in the country, where thousands have died in recent years in sectarian clashes.

Can anyone dispute this information?

Yet, nobody was trying to politicize it. But in a southern state, it suddenly becomes a highly politicized game.

Una papa for dia!
