This one don’t know that abia state is an oil producing state.
Ikaeniyan0: How much is your Abia state contributing to the Nigerian purse? If not for one Nigeria, Abia will be in the class of Benin republic or Togo.
In US, it’s 4 yrs and it’s enough for them. They even have mid term election. We don’t do that in Nigeria. In US they don’t complain, the 4 yrs is enough for them. The president there don’t control the legislative arm nor the judiciary unlike what we have in Nigeria but u won’t hear them say 4 yrs is not enough. It’s only in Nigeria you’ll hear that bcs after capturing the Judiciary and the legislative arm they’ll start feeling like d almighty and will not like to leave office. Imagine a senator collecting 14million naira a month and civil servants mere 70k? This evil happening in this country is not normal I mean it. 14 million a month is not enough for u, y don’t u resign? U knew the amount senators are paid and u still contested later you’ll start wailing just like knowing that you’re electing for 4 yrs bt when overcome with the feeling of spoils of office you’ll start wailing dt 4 yrs is not enough. That’s rubbish naaa!!!! PLS DON’T CONTEST AT ALL IF U KNOW 4 YEARS IS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU!!!!!!!
DrTee1: On both counts, I understand and I agree with Mr Kalu.
Kalu might be a crook of some sort, yes. He might have been jailed in the past, yes BUT he is right on this one.
No politician of his status can survive on merely 14 million naira every month. That's about £7000 or so? Those who beg him for cash and the amount he has to spend to keep himself politically relevant each month is certainly more than that.
Secondly, he is right about the 6 year single term. This current style is not working. 4 years isn't enough to make any significant difference in office. The desperation for a second term as well as to install a successor often robs our politicians and political institutions of the necessary input to make our society move at the pace we need it to go.
Kalu is entirely right on the foregoing, in my opinion.
And since then aguiyi ironsi is still the president or always put gun on d heads of all the leaders we’ve had even the current one and told them not to go back to regional government as it’s the best for the country? Why do u people always like to shift blame from the one u supports? Sense is really far from u bigots. Meanwhile it was Gowon that stopped regional government and created states not Ironsi. Something told me u know but u prefer to shift the blame to an igbo man as a bigot you are. But if really u don’t know, go back to your school and retrieve all your school fees bcs it’s a waste. They only taught u bigotry and hate. Don’t let it consume you bcs till tomorrow yorubas and igbos still marry each other.
WorldRichest: 1966, before the first Igbo coup, and before Aguyi Ironsi cancelled the Regional Governments
Your actions here shows otherwise. Read first b4 u commented or are u among the copy and paste group? He got f9 in English but he has attained a height you’ll only dream of attaining in your life. F9 failure headed a bank, built a multi billion dollars business empire, ruled a state and attempted to rule a nation but you’re there hating on him while he’s excelling. Check yourself, don’t let hatred consume u.
porthouse7: person wey get f9 In English, person wey cry on national TV can never be better than me
CommonSense1967: Yes I did. Pandora pathological liar Obi is a Conman and a fraud. He knows that the perpetrators are IPOB terrorists but he won't call then out. He's been very vague in his choice of words deliberately. If this had happened in the North, he would have been very specific. I'm not surprised, he's a complete hypocrite just like most of you guys are. You are happy to talk about bad events in other regions of the country bu will shy away and do everything possible to diminish such events in your own part of the country. Obi's agenda is clear for all to see, even a dumbass can read and see his hypocritical ways of dealing with news out of Igbo land. In fact he only talked about this because Reno keep exposing his silence on such issues.
Jonjam269: Obingo is a failure in all ramifications. A man who performed woefully and failed in Anambra State as a governor for 8years. Its only obirodent miscreants over hyping their fake messiah and serial party defector.
I bet u didn’t read the post b4 commenting . U wouldn’t have exposed this your bigotry and hatred yet if u had read and understood the post. Shame on u!!!!!!
CommonSense1967: Pandora pathological liar Obi is just like the rest of those Igbos. Hypocrisy is deep in their DNA. They are only goo's at calling out problems that they se in others but always blind to their own deficiencies. As much as they complain about bad governance in other parts of Nigeria, you will think that Igbo land is Eldorado by now. It is in fact the worst. That's why they all want to migrate out of Igbo land and almost no one is thinking of relocating there from other parts of Nigeria. The Agulu packaged fraudster is a typical tribal and religious fanatical bigot. His only agenda is promoting Igbo agenda and false delusional superiority.
This one don’t have sense at all and he lacks understanding. PO called the killers terrorists and the white man who I don’t know if he was contracted to launder this rubbish regime’s image is saying it’s not a terrorist act but a mere kidnapping or robbery just as it happens in other countries. U don’t have sense so u can’t comprehend that.
Their rift was caused by destruction of shanties beside a river which madam patience resisted. Destroying of shanties in a water way at okrika or where exactly I can’t remember again.
Agugbadin: Unfortunately your write up is not fact based.I think he clashed with Jonathan because he did not support padding of fuel subsidy.
And the one that’s in power now is doing well right? Electric bill for a 3 bedroom flat is now 60k and it will keep on rising and you’ll keep on hating on PO. The one you’re supporting doesn’t know anything about leadership, accept it or not.
The event happened in south east, so they have to repeat the news 5 times so that it will go viral enough. Don’t u know dt crimes in south east has to be sensationalized enough in order to demonize the region? To them security in south east doesn’t concern the FG/tinubu. It should be blamed on the people. South east people should do something to end insecurity in their region. The president is not the chief security officer of the state, the governor is so he has to do something to end the insecurity.
jmoore: This news had made frontpage three times with different headlines.
That’s true. Even all the skull miners in south west are from anambra. Rubbish!!!!
hopexter: That’s a lie bro. Anambra is known for all sorts of nonsense you could think of. Which state is tarnishing the country’s name with Drugs all over the world? It’s Anambra and not Ebonyi or Abia. Is it the same Ebonyi that is causing the killings, terrorism and kidnapping in Anambra? Keep pointing fingers and blaming others until your state collapses instead of holding the criminals in your state accountable.
Yes that’s true. Israel should fold their arms as terrorists keep an attacking them until they annihilate them. U terrorists supporters will be jubilating as it happens right? U guys are not happy now that Israel are counter attacking them, I know.
uunwanaobong3: IRAN HAS JUST TESTED THEIR NUCLEAR WEAPONS UNDERGROUND ON SATURDAY THAT IS WHY EARTHQUAKE SEISMIC ACTIVITY WAS RECORDED ON IRANIAN DESERT,......NO WESTERN MEDIA WILL TELL YOU THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE HIDING TRUTH FROM THEIR PEOPLE.
IRAN HAS A MEANS OF DELIVERING THIS NUCLEAR WARHEADS TO ISREAL WITHOUT INTERCEPTION.
IF ISREAL ATTACK IRANIAN NUCLEAR WEAPONS SITE AND OIL FIELD WHICH WE EXPECT THEM TO ATTACK, IT WILL NOT AFFECT IRAN BECAUSE IRAN IS A BIG COUNTRY...... BUT WHEN IRAN RETALIATE, STRIKING AT ISREAL'S INFRASTRUCTURES IT WILL BE BRUTAL AS ISREAL LAND-MASS IS SMALL, IT WILL BE SO DEVASTATING ON ISREAL AND AS SUCH ISREAL WILL BE FORCED TO NUKE IRAN AND THAT WILL BE THE END IF ISREAL.
IRAN IS A LARGE COUNTRY WITH SO MANY ROCKY TERRAIN, AT LEAST THEY HAVE A SLIM CHANCE OF SURVIVING 70 NUCLEAR WEAPONS ATTACKS WHICH ISREAL HAS AT THEIR ARSENAL.... BUT ISREAL STAND NO CHANCE OF SURVIVING JUST 10 NUCLEAR ATTACKS.
SO IF AMERICA IS A TRUE FRIEND, THEY SHOULD CALL THEIR MAD DOG ISREAL TO ORDER IF THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR SURVIVAL..... ISREAL IS A VERY SMALL COUNTRY, THEY SHOULD NOT BE DOING WHAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY DOING. IT IS NOT TO THEIR INTEREST THAT THEY ARE PICKING FIGHT WITH EVERYONE, THEY WILL BE DESTROYED.
Lebanon bombed Israel first and Israel gave them what they’re asking for. Are u aware of that? Egypt and turkey didnt bomb isreal so isreal won’t bomb them. Or u want isreal to fold their hands as they keep on receiving bombs?
lapazi: Israel wants a wider conflict that will destabilize the entire region. This will eventually trickle down into other conflicts. It’s just a matter of time they hit Iran directly like they’re already doing in Lebanon.
Even the Christian dominated south Lebanon was hit, this region has almost zero hezbolla.
Ultimately they’d get the ww3 they seem to want so bad. Why I say this is that when they hit the likes of, Egypt, Turkey- they won’t take it lying down.
Cho cho cho cho cho as if u know what you’re saying. What stops u and your evil apc from prosecuting PO for domiciling state fund in his bank as u said? Talking loosely is bad!!!!
Throwback: Atleast she has paid back part of the money she stole when she was in office.
She returned N23m, while the rest of the N2.5b that the corrupt Jonathan directed CBN to send to her, can now be used to fund Labour Party and Peter Obi to give us a "New Nigeria".
Peter Obi has not returned all the interest on the shares for the profit made when he deliberately domiciled Anambra State funds in Fidelity Bank that he was the former board chairman.
“Companies earning less than 50m will be able to claim back vat expenses”. Is that not funny to u? Does that not sound funny to u? Guy, u failed it in that area. Correct yourself. Evidently, u don’t know what VAT means.
1Hover1: The funny thing is that most people commenting here have not and did not watch the interview before commenting.
If they did, they would see that VAT is not increasing for EVERYTHING, in fact, essential items bordering on food, health, housing, education and transport will have VAT removed totally (which is the area that affects the greater number of Nigerians). An example he gave was that, how many Nigerians do buy a new car...these are the kind of items that will see VAT rise to 10%.
Companies with earnings bellow 50 million will be able to claim back VAT expenses.
Sure it's still a proposal which came about after consultations with interest groups. People can still make thir contributions before it is passed.
Is that not the only thing you APC people know how to do? Increasing taxes, taxing d hell out of the people and looting the money made out of the tax. Pls increase the tax to 50%. We must survive u apc wicked people. I pity those that supports this evil party.
Where did u hear otti said he’s currently paying 18k from this interview? What’s wrong with u ppl?
Richtaiwo: Nawao. So out of the 18k monthly salary, dem still dey deduct? Unintelligent handle mobs are coming to defend it, yet they call others slaves. Is it that the meaning of slave has changed?
You’re uncertain about allowances but you’re also a minister receiving d same allowance. Just tell us u don’t want to mention it bcs it’s higher than your salary simple.
I support those rallying against violent protest but I support protest.
Umedia: A group gathered in the Alausa area of Lagos. They say they are not protesting but "rallying against violent protest" #EndBadGovernanceProtest #EndBadGovernance
Sense is far from this one or your father, brother or husband among those benefiting from this corrupt era?
EreluRoz: Citizens should learn to hold their governors, senators and reps accountable, not everything is Mr president's fault. Na your representative Dy kill una most.
Please let's all shun the protest and excercise some patience, things will be back to normal soon.
VisioDirect: Please get your children to stay away from any Olympic-related event, it's satanic, it's all about mocking the Creator and humanity. Below are some of the pictures from Olympics that the media will not show you;
