Last night Zambian leader Michael Sata, a longtime opposition leader who was finally elected president in 2011, died after an illness, the Zambian government said Wednesday. The Cabinet held a meeting to discuss a political transition, which would include elections within 90 days in the southern African nation.

Few hours after his death, a white man who was Zambians vice president becomes the interim leader of Zambia and there seems to be no problem from the people of Zambia about this development.

Now my question is, Do you think a white man can become the president of Nigeria in the future?.

Can true Nigerians rule Nigeria?

We have people from Niger and Chad laying claims to their right to rule Nigeria since 1914.

When will they reach Yola? I get friend Dia o!
Shebi we have a cease fire with them?

Lets continue the ceasefire until they enter Abuja. Lol...

Anambra needs an airport, what do you guys think?

Anambra needs an airport and a sea port. But we live in the realty where funds are limited compared to our wants.

Therefore we must write up our scale of priority. A refinery will help Anambra create good jobs, support industrialization and IGR than an airport right now. So an airport at this time may be deemed wasteful.

The bad thing is that in the African's mentality, tolerance is a mark of weakness. That is why you should sometime order some hard knocks on those that mistake your tolerance for weakness.

Religion of Piss....

FreeGlobe:
indeed! my age is not in question. the thing here is for you to do your job of defending obi with verifiable facts. If you said obi fought crimes in Anambra which crime has Obiano devoted his first six months in fighting? need I remind you that kidnapping was at its peak during Obi's tenure? Can you compare the present security situation in onitsha now to what was obtainable during Obi's tenure? What exactly did obi do?

Silence they say is the best answer to a fool. Incase you haven't noticed yet, sensible people here have noticed your senseless blind arguements and usually ignore you.

Truth is that whether he provided verifiable facts or not, you will never accept any positive thing about Peter Obi even when it is obvious to the blind. That is why your age comes into question due to your very childish immaturity. For you, if one isn't praising Ngige, then he must be a paid Peter Obi's agent. So pathetic.

Many people don't even bother responding to you anymore, even when u use your poorly disguised cuche moniker. Getting you to reason is more like responding to Musiwa's "do you see the difference" repeated questions.

OkijaAmaka:
Pls whoever that is close to him so tell him to ban

Posters and Billboards ooooooo

Signposts and Banner oooooo

Ban street trading and indiscriminate display of wares outside the shops

My people in this thread, I greet you.

On this Okada issue, while we should try to secure people's livelihood, the entire state must not be held back by the interest of very few persons. Who might not even be from Anambra.

The government should have a meeting to advise motorcycle part manufacturers that it intends to move forward. Consequently, 6 months to 9 months grace period should be given. After the period, okada use for commercial transportation in at least the 3 major urban centers of Onitsha, Awka and Nnewi should be banned.

Obiano should concentrate on completing the refinery. It is better to complete the refinery first than wasting money building airport when an economic spinner like the refinery is in danger of being abandoned.

Like Amaechi does not know he can't even secure 2000 votes in his LGA with his level of failure and defection to a party unpopular with his people.

Ok, let me help Amachi shout so that i go collect my own share.

"PDP don't steal Amaechi "billion" votes oh! Amaechi commands massive number of followers!!!

IPMAN to call off strike as Government Warns Marketers to stop Exploiting Consumers

The warning strike embarked upon by the Independent Petroleum Marketers (IPMAN) in Anambra State on Thursday October 23, 2014 is expected to be called off today, Friday October 24, 2014 following the resolution of the immediate concerns raised by the marketers at a meeting held earlier today at the Government House, Awka.

However, Anambra State Government has warned the Independent Petroleum Marketers (IPMAN) in the state to ensure that their members desist from exploiting unsuspecting customers with high pump prices and dispensing of products with maladjusted meters at Filling stations. The warning came in the wake of the “Weigh-and-Measure” spot-checks carried out on October 20 and 21, 2014 by members of the Committee on Petroleum at some Filling stations in Awka and environ.


Speaking on the outcome of the exercise, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Oil & Gas, Ms Ngozi Okoye said that the exercise became necessary to sanitize the operations in the Petroleum Downstream sector in Anambra State, and further ensure that Ndi Anambra get value for their money whenever they purchase petroleum products.

According to Ngozi Okoye, the spot-check was a warning exercise meant to call the operators to order and also remind them of their responsibility to the consumers. She said that “part of the oversight function of the Committee is to ensure that accurate pump prices and meter measurements are complied with by the marketers. The Committee, in the course of the exercise, inspected 22 filling stations and detected various sharp practices and meted out immediate sanctions like sealing-off pumps where necessary to deter further occurrence.”

She explained that of the 22 Filling stations inspected, 16 of them had their nozzles seized because their meters reflected unacceptable readings ranging between 20.60 litres and 24.00 litres for a 20 litre measure. The implication of this action is that an unsuspecting customer who innocently paid for 20 liters actually got 16 litres instead, thereby being cheated by 4 litres. The customer has therefore paid more for less. She also confirmed that some unscrupulous operators made attempts to bribe the team in order not to take drastic action against them. These were rebuffed and appropriate sanctions applied.


The Senior Special Assistant observed that IPMAN members embarked on a warning strike to protest the spot-checks, amongst other claims. She further stated that as a listening government, the Committee has held meetings with the marketers in order to understand their grievances and resolve the impasse amicably without compromising on the approved and accepted industry standards. She further confirmed that the consultative meeting with the Executive members of IPMAN will be a continuous exercise going forward.

So it wasn't even about taxes! The marketers had gone on strike to protest their right to cheat the people? What effrontery !

Nigeria needs a consumer protection agency. Nigerians are just cheated left, right & center and nobody protects the people!

seanet02:
You need to google search what Federal system of government is all about. Then you will understand the word "addendum of state administrative functions"

Exactly !

The LGAs have continued to be a drain pipe to waste 20% of the national budget! No single LGA ever embark on street building, gutter building or even building more elementary schools! It is all done by the state governments. So what do the LGAs do with the 20% federal allocation ? Except to share the money each month and wait for the next month's allocation to arrive and be shared.

The op must be one of those councillors looting this nation thru the dysfunctional LGA system

This is the total Airport Passenger Traffic Statistics for Q1, 2014.
For domestic passengers, Owerri and Enugu ranked 4th and 5th respectively in the nation. Owerri is not doing badly at all.
On the International angle, the AIIA Enugu recorded 8,912 as against the 12,500 it recorded in the last quarter of 2013 when it began International operations with just one airline.

Single-airline fatigue I suppose

Chidoka should do something about this and quickly. Is anyone in the know about the Turkish airline Enugu timeline?

The decision to combine Enugu and Kano has discouraged a lot of people. The option of first flying to Kano before embarking on one's trip is very very frustrating and senseless. Many prefer to go through Lagos than that.

Where is Asaba statistics here? It is one very busy airport.

I doubt the credibility of this report........Or what do you think?

**Senior politicians of a major opposition party are helping in transferring money from Al Qaeda to Boko Haram.

The acclaimed negotiator for the Islamic terror group, Boko Haram, Dr. Stephen Davis has announced another alarm about the kidnaped Chibok school girls.

Mr Davis accuses opposition politicians of hindering the freedom and release of the Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram in April this year.
Further to the delayed release of the girls and the reasons for it, he warned that if the girls are set free without the leaders of Boko Haram either reined in or their sponsors stopped, Nigeria should expect an endless orgy of abductions by the same group in future.

In an interview Davis granted a UK news network, Channel 4 few days ago, he stated that: “The Nigerian opposition politicians sponsoring Boko Haram have to be stopped if hundreds of local girls are to be saved.”

The credibility of the platform given to Davis was an indication that international support for his allegations is rapidly gaining acceptance. He claimed to have been frustrated by a number of unsuc­cessful attempts to secure the abducted girls’ release, and alleged that from the Nigerian media, he saw an undeniable connection between the Chibok girls’ fate and cutting off the funding that is Boko Haram’s lifeblood.

In particular, he emphasized the role some “senior politicians of a major opposition party are playing in channeling money from Al Qaeda to Boko Haram. ”
He argued that “these individuals are bank-rolling the group’s brutal activities to create instability ahead of the February 2015 Nigerian general election. There would be an endless cycle of evil if the Chibok girls are freed without the group’s sponsors being stopped. It would simply lead to many more young women being taken in their place.”
A uk online report noted that: “The need to tackle terrorism at its source rather than simply through military action has been major news in the UK for close to a month. Some military chiefs recently grabbed national headlines when they announced that cutting off the financing that keeps terror groups armed and dangerous is key to the overall strategy of winning the war on terror.”

Davis further cautioned that: “Tackling the moneymen behind Boko Haram must be an essential part of the West’s anti-terror approach. At the same time, those politicians implicated in the terror funding scandal must be investigated without delay.

To do otherwise would mean unleashing untold trauma and devastation on hundreds more innocent Nigerian girls. To these young women and their families, the cost of further inaction would be incalculable.”

Nigerian are not in doubt of this revelation. it is a shame!!!

Boko Haram members are someone's brother, friend and Neighbour. Join Hands To Win The fight Against Terror: Report any suspicious activity to the law enforcement agencies, as that will save lives.

The white guy may be saying the truth. But I believe his intention is to blackmail people to pay up or he would mention their names. It has nothing to do with love for Nigeria.

Let him advise his fellow Australians, we don't need oyibo help. They never genuinely help when it involves Africans.

Now that they have fresh abunas to jump. On, can they release the Chibok girls to go home?

Of course the APC e-thugs will keep quiet because the N200 million naira for 2 beds was stolen by their cohort.

It's called APC selective anti-corruption rant

henrychubayo:
is this a true pix of Enugu or do u want to sabotage enugu. I ask cause I know that okada is no more in Enugu. Except if the pix are not recent or may be a part in enugu where okada still Operates.

Please don't respond to that sad thing. He goes around attacking Igbo threads with lies. We know the picture isn't Enugu because okada does not operate in the city.

The House of Representatives Wednesday mounted pressure on Federal Government to decisively investigate the killing of Nigerians in Dubai which has in recent times become very common.

The House gave one month to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nigerian Embassy in Dubai to conduct a thorough investigation and report back to the House.

E be like say dem don kill senator or politician pikin. That is the only time that killing Nigerians is unacceptable.

I was traveling to lagos by car,passed owerri onitsha expressway down to onitsha then took a break to see places around the city,my phone was flat if not i would have supplied this thread with some cool pics.

Me sef, I was in Onitsha but my phone died!

It is hard to trust Nigerians in this type of business issue. While one welcomes the breaking of the DSTV monopoly to ensure affordability and better service, I fervently hope this action isn't born out of a desire to help their own companies break even.

I am just happy that government have a plan about our environment. Thank you schematics for this.

The first sign of a responsible government is usually the determination to make the environment habitable. Akpabio's first task was to fix the Ibom square and plant flowers around the major roundabouts in Uyo. It was an initial sign of a leader uncomfortable with a dirty, disorganized state.

Willie is truly a great leader and he is working to fix the state!

Congrats Okwute!
Although I am sad that you left APGA, Victor Umeh left you no choice but quit.

We are grateful that you led our state out of self inflicted darkness and chose a visionary successor to carry the torch of development. For that, we are eternally grateful.

Haiti needs help to modernize its agriculture.
Sugarcane plantations, Rice fields must be revived again to create foreign exchange for essential commodities as medicines and other goods.

Haiti deserves help if we can give it.

What happened to the railings?

[size=14pt]Corpers of southern extraction should save their lives and leave the north during and immediately after the elections.

Buhari has not condemned his fanatics that killed the corpers the last time, there is no doubt that they will do it again knowing that he supports the killing of southerners and Christians.[/size]

[size=18pt]Goodluck Jonathan is the only TRUE democratic leader Nigeria has had.

He does not assasinate opponents simply because they disagree with him

He does not target any ethnic group for marginalization simply because they didn't vote for him.

He plays politics without bitterness.

These cannot be said about any former Nigerian maximum rulers or their Quasi-democratic counterparts.

For me and my family, it's President GEJ in 2015. [/size]

I was so afraid that she would be cajoled to stay away from serving her people by wicked corrupt people who enjoy having incompetent riffraffs in sensitive positions of influence.[/size]
