The least nigerian government should have done is to abstain but Buhari has shown he is a bigot imposing his religious view on the rest of us

A Christian leader wouldn't have done this...we need an unbiased leader

Demmzy15:
You didn't answer my question, where was Israel during those times. In case you don't know history, Jerusalem was controlled by the Canaanites for more than 1,000 years, the Jews only controlled it for around 250 years. Muslims have controlled it for more than 1,000 years.

Israel wasn't even existing during the lifetime of Jesus

So by your saying... occupation of land automatically equates ownership?
Does occupation by Romans and Muslim-Arab now equates ownership?

Israel wasn't existing how exactly?

Does the fact that they were ruled by the Romans eliminate their existence?

How does the fact that Nigeria was colonized by the British eliminate our existence for the 99years it happened?

The very people you refer to As Palestinians are Arab occupiers . They occupy the whole of North Africa and some middle East, but you Palestinian sympathizers never ask them to vacate those places ,you are more interested in Jerusalem?

The Bank that should have Federal character that doesn't have it is actually first Bank... They use to rotate the MD across the regions but this days...

Demmzy15:
Mumu, Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Bethlehem is an Arab city with an Arab Christian mayor. Muslims make up 65% population of Bethlehem. You Christians are stucked with your Bible, you don't read outside it. Since the departure of christ, that's how far Christians know.

If you call Palestinians Arabs that simply means they are settlers in the Land...any Arab in Jerusalem is either from Lebanon , Jordan or Syrians.

As the time Jesus was born,Arabs had no inheritance in Jerusalem...so your analogy is faulty as well

Demmzy15:
Where was Israel when the Romans massacred and chased Jews out in 70 AD? WHERE WAS ISRAEL WHEN HITLER KILLED 6 MILLION JEWS?

There will always be a "remnant"

You can never destroy the remnants... that is there covenant with God

Out of the ashes they will rise!

datribune:
U ar a Mumu Christian Taliban that does not read.
Educate urself & understand what d UN & d world majority are saying - Israel must stop being a rogue state & respect d same UN resolution which brought it into being.

It is a shame that illiterate, Bible thumping Christian Taliban like u think it is a Christian/Muslim issue. It is d issue of illegal land grab by modern-day Israel, a country of mainly Zionist settlers who ar not indigenous to d land of Palestine but ar Europeans who fled frm oppression & anti-semitism they suffered in Poland & other European nations only to come & settle down in Palestine.

Why should Israel respect UNITED NATION?

When has it become the occupation of UN to chose a Country's capital?
As in was it UN that chose Ankara as the capital of Turkey?

That thing that Edorgan is looking for ,he will soon find it.

Your daughter doesn't have a father ni

Tension In Cross River Communities Over Superhighway by Blue3k2: 5:49pm On Dec 01
•Residents, groups tackle state over

destruction of farmlands, non-compensation

•No community or individual will lose out, says govt

From Judex Okoro, Calabar

On assumption of office as governor of Cross River State on May 29, 2015, Professor Ben Ayade promised to execute three signature projects in the state: a 260-kilometre superhighway, the Bakassi Deep Seaport and a garment factory.

The superhighway was billed to start from the proposed deep seaport at Esighi in Bakassi Local Government Area, run through the Cross River National Park and terminate at Katsina Ala in Benue State. Experts have estimated it would cost N700 billion or about $3.5 billion.

Six months later, President Muhammadu Buhari, on October 20, 2015, performed the ground-breaking ceremony of the project.

In 2016, the state government budgeted N200 billion for the superhighway and a modest N600 million for rural roads.

However, two years after, the project seems to be bogged down by administrative bottlenecks, just as it is being rocked by protests and criticisms from non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and host communities.

Investigations by Daily Sun revealed that over 14 NGOs and some environmental experts have petitioned the Presidency, through the Ministry of Environment, against the superhighway.

According to the experts, the Cross River superhighway should not be constructed because of carbon emissions and global warming.

Some individuals, including Fred Kwame, African regional head of World Wildlife Fund International, Switzerland, John Robinson, executive vice president, Wildlife Conservation, USA, Hazell Thompson of Birdlife International, UK, and Odey Onyamas have urged the federal government to halt the project.

At the public presentation of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the Cross River superhighway held at the Channels View Hotel in Calabar last year, the NGOs argued that Cross River had some of the best preserved rain forests in Nigeria, including the Cross River National Park and the Ekuri Community Forest.

These forests, they alleged, were under threat of being destroyed to make way for the superhighway. They noted that the road could be rerouted to preserve the communities as well as endangered species.

While disagreeing with the EIA presented by the state government, the groups insisted that the proposed project would jeopardise considerable investments by such multilateral funding agencies like the EU, UK DFID and the US Fish and Wildlife Service in the state.

They said an international environmental firm that studied the EIA discovered 27 major errors in the report.

The state government recently said about 90 communities, 140 homes, 50 farms and over 800 persons would be affected by the superhighway’s construction.

Following the report, the federal government gave 23 conditions that the state must meet before commencing the project. The conditions include re-routing and realignment of the superhighway, reversal of revocation order and compensation, as well as resettlement and restoration plans for people whose properties have been destroyed from the outset of construction work.

Four months after the conditional approval was granted the state, stakeholders are complaining about compensation for affected persons and communities.

Mr. Odey Oyama, executive director, Rainforest Resource and Development Centre (RRDC), one of the leading NGOs in the state, noted that, “Part of the superhighway still falls within the gazetted boundaries of the Cross River National Park, especially at the Oban Division.”

He expressed worry that, up till date, the list of communities and persons to benefit from the compensation has not been compiled and established in compliance with the provisions of the Land Use Act, No. 6, 1978, and the Land and Allied Matters Act.

Three communities, Ikot Okpo Ene, Ikot Ndarake and Ikot Abasi Efiom, in Akpabuyo Local Government Area, lamented alleged humiliation being meted out to them by the Ayade government. They said since their homes and farmlands were destroyed, they have become beggars, exposed to untold hardship.

Leaders of the communities, including Chief Emmanuel Okon, Chief Bassey Efangha Okon and Chief Silver Effiom Duke, alleged that, besides the destruction of economic trees and the clearing of the forest, the roofs of buildings have also been pulled down by windstorms.

They said: “We are not against the superhighway. We are not against development. But we want the government to pay us compensation for our ancestral homes and our source of income.

“Since January 6, 2016, when the government destroyed our properties without consultation, we have recorded higher incidents of youth restiveness and crime due to idleness and lack of reasonable source of income. These untold hardships have quickened the steps of many to their graves,” they said.

One of the victims, Mr. Felix Okon, 62, said: “I lost my palm plantation when they started the project and that is my only source of livelihood. I also lost my house to windstorm. I have no roof over my head anymore, all because of the superhighway. I am not against the project but they must, as a matter of urgency, do the needful, because it’s already too late.”

After destroying other people's daughters now you want to keep your own ?

The fastest way to rehabilitation of a career dead politician in Nigeria is:

1.set up a committee and make the person the chairman
2.appoint him as an ambassador even if he is 80years
and even if it's ambassador of IRAQ
3. Make him head of a money spinning agency like Nigerian Custom
