Movic1:
Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) vowed to continue the strike that started on Wednesday to protest the recent hike in fuel price by the federal government from N86 to N145.

Tell us the current situation in your area/environs.

The NLC should not be intimidated. they will try to use police and army against the people. That is the specialty of the Aso rock tyrant.

Sidewapcom:
I've tried as much as I can to remain silent over this chibok girls true/false saga.
I'm not for either true/false though.
Can somebody please explain to me how a 13yrs old hausa village girl passed through primary school(6yrs) secondary school(6yrs) = 12yrs.
Are they trying to tell me she started schooling at the age on 1yr?.
Let's further go back to history. They were kidnapped in 2014 abi?
2014 - 13 = 2001.
So they are telling me in 2001 chibok was so civilized that education was a normal thing?
Men and brethren, please if you must lie, do it with the fear of God.

Criticize me if you like, but please remember to tell lai Mohammed that this particular one didn't catch some of us

I've said my own

[size=15pt]There is no doubt the chibok crap is a SCAM!

Anyhow, the abookis that planned it are the ones looking for a way to rest the issue.

What has shocked me more is that there were 270 girls claimed to be kidnapped. Yet, we always see the same 6-8 parents crying or coming to Abuja. You then wonder if it's only these same parents that are concerned for their children? What about the more than 260 others? Infact if they came with their husbands, it should be about 540 people as just parents of the children there. Nobody knows where the girls lived apart from the 6-8 parents that always show up on TV?

Anyhow, na abookis sabi. Wetin concern me?[/size]

[size=13pt]Indirect rule was success in North, failure in East but in West nobody knew their stand till today, you cant say whether indirect rule was a success or a failure in West, everything about a people is sitting on the fence, unable to create a clear cut agenda and unable to speak with one strong voice.

In Confab, South went with resource control as part of the agenda, South East stood on resource control, South South stood on resource control, when it got to South West Lagos delegates where saying different things, yoloba delegates where saying another things(that everybody will control resources except oli), Afenifere was waiting to know what the North will say in order not to ruffle their feathers....this was how everything about resource control fall yakataaa[/size]

Abeg, How did Awolowo die?

Did he truly drink poison to escape prosecution for corrupt enrichment?

I think that is the height of cowardly deceit.

[size=15pt]The USA should use the money as aid for rehabilitation of Boko haram victims.

Buhari has ignored the victims of Boko haram violence and has instead focused on placating Boko haram members whom he sent to kill and pillage just to spite GEJ's regime.[/size]

[size=18pt]Excellent job by the militants.

Buhari imagines he will just annex the southern oil fields and distribute to his northern fulani people. Then send soldiers to shoot anyone that protests. Buhari is negotiating with Boko haram killing innocent Nigerians, but won't negotiate with someone fighting for the right of his people to their own resources without killing any Nigerian, even if they are fulani?

The next thing is to begin setting booby traps to deal with the soldiers if they don't leave the people alone and kidnaping those oyinbo expertriates for ransom[/size]

[size=15pt]Those that imposed an economic dulllard on us should see what they have caused.
However, the suffering is just starting. The dulllard doesn't care about Nigeria.In fact, he secretly hates Nigeria. He is ONLY concerned with how to enrich himself and only his own fulani group.[/size]

[size=18pt]The dulllard should send fulani herdmen.

He won't negotiate with owners of the oil, but he will reward Boko Haram terrorists with rehabilitation and assimilate them into the Nigerian army. Also Buhari wants to annex southern villages as free land for Fulani herdsmen to graze their cattle, while neglecting the victims of fulani herdsmen killings, just because they do not belong to his own fulani tribe.[/size]

[size=22pt]Pay off for acting well in the biggest SCAM in Nigeria's history.[/size]

[size=18pt]Northerners always like to tell silly lies, as if we are all fools and should believe them.

Corrupt Northern Nigeria army generals that have been ruling Nigeria will NEVER tolerate a situation 88% of oil wells are owned by oyinbo foreigners. But they want Niger Delta to tolerate 99% of their oil to be owned by foreigners from the northern Nigeria.[/size]

Does Africa still have dictators? Find out now, learn who they
are and where they rule.

Dictators can be found in many parts of the world. Presently
there are over 30 dictators ruling, but almost half of them are
located in Africa. More precisely, currently there are 14
effective African dictators. Some of them rule for quite long
periods of time. In addition to the list of the top ten dictators of
Africa of all time, you can find some fascinating details on
dictators in general.

Here are some interesting facts about
Africa and its dictators:

https://naij-ask.cdnprof.com/questions/23979-4acaac-1.jpg


Amazingly, but Africa has at least 10 dictators, who ruled
their countries for over or almost 30 years in a row


https://naij-ask.cdnprof.com/questions/23979-7a1921-screenshot-6.jpg


★The longest ruling dictator of Africa is Teodoro Obiang
Nguema Mbasogo from Equatorial Guinea (35 + years)

★During his rule Guinea has one of the highest national per
capita GDP with one of the lowest levels of life for people

★Some dictators claimed they had extraordinary abilities or
mystical powers in their possession

https://naij-ask.cdnprof.com/questions/23979-307ad2-screenshot-7.jpg

★At times dictators banned the activities they did not like, for
instance, fishing

★Others would put to jail people with foreign names or do not
let TV folks call by name anyone, but themselves

★Most dictators attached some extravagant titles to their
names, such as Kings of Life or creators of Universe


10. Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo

Ruling: 1979-
Country: Equatorial Guinea
This is the winner on our list of the longest ruling dictators in
Africa. He has occupied the top position in the country for over
35 years. Teodoro replaced his uncle, who terrorized the
country for 11 years. It seems like his ruling is less cruel than
that of his relative.

Over the last years the country managed to attain the highest
level of GDP per capita. At this, the majority of people are still
living in extreme poverty.

https://naij-ask.cdnprof.com/questions/23979-f4bb62-1jpeg.jpg

9. Robert Mugabe

Ruling: 1987-
Country: Zimbabwe
As some others on our list of Top Ten dictators of Africa this
dictator was elected by Zimbabwean people. As it often times
happens former heroes turn into dictators. Even though the
first election was fair, the majority of the consequent ones
were not. He has been reelected over and over again.

Mugabe has managed to do much good for the black
population. He has opened new schools and achieved
significant growth in agricultural and industrial sectors. He
was mostly accused of being racist towards the white people
in his country.

https://naij-ask.cdnprof.com/questions/23979-988315-1jpg.jpg

8. Sani Abacha

Ruling: 1993-1998
Country: Nigeria
Nigeria is lucky enough to have a pretty short period of
dictators’ ruling. Along with the military juntas of the 60ss and
70ss, Sani Abacha is one of the few cruel rules in power.
Colonel Abacha held in terror not only his political opponents,
but the entire country as well.

His has imprisoned and murdered Moshood Abiola, who won
the fair election and later on murdered his wife. He has
installed quick and terrorizing regime in the country and was
accused of breaking human rights and bereft people of their
right to elect, right to possess the land and of money.

His rule was marked by high level of corruption and he has
made his family extremely wealthy. At this, somehow he
managed to significantly reduce Nigeria’s external debt and
magnificently grow its foreign exchange reserves.

7. Said Barre

Ruling: 1969-1991
Country: Somalia
Here is another lasting ruler in Africa. He came into his power
through a military coup; although, unlike many other coups,
this one was a bloodless one. 22 years of his rule were marked
by numerous transgressions against the human rights. People
were taken to prisons, kept there with no trial, raped, tortured,
etc.

Large portions of population were restricted in their ability to
move from place to place. All the political opponents of the
ruler got persecuted and murdered. Such crimes prevented the
attempt of Barre to obtain help and support of the US
government.

6. Charles Taylor

Ruling: 1997-2003
Country: Liberia
This ruler is widely known for abusing the power entrusted to
him. He was selling guns in exchange for “blood” diamonds. In
2012 he was sentenced to 50 years of prison. He was also
accused of committing crimes against humanity leading to
multiple human deaths.

[img]5. Omar al-Bashir[/img]

Rulign: 1989-2009
Country: Sudan
As a matter of fact, this dictator has been elected by the people
and thrice occupied the presidential post of the country. During
his rule several wars and military conflicts have taken place
with over 400 thousand people killed in them.
This politician planned and carried out genocide against
certain ethnic parts of the Sudan population, such as
Zagwaga. In 2009 he was arrested and put to trial for creating
various crimes against humanity. He has stolen huge sums of
money from the country (over 6 billion US dollars), which were
later on found on his bank accounts.

https://naij-ask.cdnprof.com/questions/23979-8cdb9f-1jpeg.jpg


4. Hissene Habre

Ruling: 1982-1990
Country: Chad
Some men manage to do more in just 8 years in power than
others in 30 something years. This dictator’s rule was short,
but he managed to do much harm to his nation. With over 40+
thousand people killed and systematic torture he got high up
on our list of top ten dictators of Africa.

He has established a unit called DDS. It worked as his
personal Gestapo. They could shoot, lock up or torture people
or kill entire families. They had the absolute power over people,
their lives and bodies.

Former prisoners and survivors of this “godlike” ruling man
have decided to go for justice. They collected proofs and
opened a case against the dictator. It took them almost 20
years to get Hissene to court. 2015 would be the year when
this dictator goes to trial for all he has committed. It is
attained by the strong will and undesired to give up of his
former victims.

[size=18pt]Buhari is worse than all these men.
Buhari simply believes in killing his perceived enemies or getting his fulani herdmen to do the killing for him.

Either way, somebody must be killed.[/size]

[size=18pt]If they like capture or detain whoever you like,

Fulani herdsmen or Niger delta Avengers are from Libya! - Buhari

The issue is that northerners should stop polluting the Niger Delta and sharing all her oil wells among northerners.[/size]

[size=18pt]The core difference between Obiano and the other former governors is that Obiano, just like Godswill Akpabio believes in doing everything to international standard.

The other governors in their mind believe Anambra is a village and therefore anything they do is never done at international standard, but shoddy village standard. Obiano like Akpabio believes in doing all his projects to international standard, which makes them truly stand out.[/size]

Uduak2019:
SS and SE...take a cursory look at the projects below, and tell me if we are still part of Nigeria. All I see is North and SW

[size=18pt]The truth is that they won't even implement those projects for SE and SS.
They will either award the money to themselves using fronts in useless construction companies they will engage for the job or they will outrightly refuse to implement those specific projects concerning the SE and SS. [/size]

[size=18pt]O'l boy, Buhari is shameless.

His wife, Aisha Buhari was indicted for corruption in Louisiana, USA.Google it if you doubt it.
But he doesn't talk about that. But focus on diezeni another man's wife. Pretending like he is clean of what he accuse others of.[/size]

[size=18pt]I agree dividing Nigeria isn't the best solution. However, it is the better solution in the present circumstance.

It is better to divide Nigeria than being under internal colonization by the northerners which breeds continuous violence and crises.

If Nigeria was concerned about the well-being of every Nigerian, not just the fulanis, then every Nigerian will be fighting to keep Nigeria united not just fulanis. [/size]

What concerns you if a bigot hates you?

He will die and Igbos will still inhabit their land.

if he wants to try, let him send fulani herdsmen to go and kill again.
Allah cursed Nigeria with the fulani.

Nothing a dulllard says surprises me

[size=18pt]Bloody LIAR!

Chibok nonsense is a scam orchestrated by Buahri to discredit GEJ.
...... and Buhari is trying so hard to bury that issue.[/size]

i think the exchange rate is N197 for $1.
Where did you get that $320 stuff? Abi you are a thief or you mean baba is also lying about the true exchange rate?

Haba!!! Too many secrets and lies everywhere .

I am happy buhari removed subsidy.
But why is he hiding the fact?

Everything around Buhari is always done with so much secrecy.

Naija will shine eye after Buhari has completely ruined all its economic future by 2019.
It appears Fela was right. Black people are "original sufferheads". They will always suffer in poverty from bad leaders.

Nigerian naira is finally on a free fall crash!!!

God save Nigerians from the hyper 10 digit inflation coming with this!

Allah punish the Daura dulllard and emiefiele for ruining a once vibrant economic powerhouse on African continent.

The Duara dulllard is completely ignorant about how modern economies work.
He will collapse Nigerian economy by the time his voodoo economic policies run full course.

Nigeria has a culture of hailing criminals and villains as heroes.

There are actually two flyovers in Abakaliki under construction to ease traffic flow within the city

I am my mother is from Aboh and my father from Ogwashi ukwu.

I always tell Yoruba propagandists to leave us the neck alone. We know who we are. Until Okowa took over, you guys made sure you frustrated every attempt for an Anioma man to rule. suddenly We are SUPPOSED to be yorubas.

patrick89:
I think I won't be commenting on this website again! I knew some day, things like this will surface! we have not learnt our lessons! and that's very bad! we need our own media! we need our own media! time shall come they will boycott anything SE if we do not invest in media! what we are doing here is like rent! we are Tennant here, I urge every software developer, to embark on this vacuum, create a forum, where Igbos will feel like landlord, I have ideas on how it will work for an effective engagement! contact me if you're interested, I have ideas on how it's going to look at to be attractive...

The way their mods had been banning us while promoting anti-igbo threads should have told us something.
Anyhow, we need to act, but i always say thinking ahead before the dooms day happen is a virtue. I don't think we can immediately create another platform and get everyone here registered and on board so quickly.
However,We do need to create our own which is easy to register and post pictures.

The same thing we have been saying about our people divesting from the north NOW, which ALWAYS falls on deaf ears. Someday, it will all be an emergency but it will be too late to quickly divest.

Seun,
Use Nairaland to agitate for good governance and equal treatment for all Nigerians. It is the least you can do for a country you profess to love.Simply banning the talk about Biafra since it is a hot topic in nigeria is like saying you don't want to hear the name Buhari mentioned in nairaland. It isn't enough to say you don't want someone to leave, while you ask them to bear the unbearable.

Biafra OR Lower Niger Congress area shall emerge as a country, unless Nigeria restructures and give every part of the country a sense of belonging.

Wole Soyinka is a sage and he aptly put it that you can only defeat an idea with a greater idea. The only thing that will make sense for someone being increasingly enslaved in his own country is to remove all forms of enslavement, injustices, inequalities practiced in Nigeria against different citizens based on ethnicity or religion.

Unless Nigeria truly resolves to be one country in truth and deed, it cannot survive as one entity while oppressing sections of its territory and people from that area.

For N600 million ni?
O'l boy, Imo state has suffered!!!

OreMI22:
local content is about giving the job to IDC if they have the capacity instead of Julius berger or another foreign company.

Now if IDC will have to use streetpoles and beams on the bridge which isn't locally available, they should import it and use standard materials. Instead of fabricating crap at Awka blacksmith shop and delivering substandard sh.t to us in the name of "local content".

A good example of local content is to look at INNOSON motors. Whatever can be locally obtained at very good quality such as batteries, etc, he gets them locally. but things like engines, he imports because no company in Nigeria makes engines. He does not go to Mgbuka to ask the mechanics to fabricate an engine for him to make it local content. That is true local content, not making things substandard to call it "local content'

my sister, thank you for explaining this fine concept. local content does not mean it should be substandard. IDC is a local company, but its doing a standard job, just as Julius berger would have done it in Uyo or Abuja. That is local content! Let us use local companies if they can achieve the same result and the same quality.
"local content' isn't an excuse for substandard.
Local content is about supporting our local industries when they make the same thing at same standard as oyibo companies.

How many of us will drink locally brewed medicine for typhoid fever which is made with raw goat urine, if it isn't made to international standard of refinement?
But we will all take the medicine if orange drugs or a local company makes the tablets in the same formulation and concentration as the one made in England or Germany. That is what local content is. not making substandard things and excusing it by saying it's local content. we want to support our local companies to perform at international standards, not do shoddy things and expect us to accept it by telling us it's "local content". i love that IDC is proving itself to be just as capable as any foreign construction company in Nigeria.

Chino and a friend from the State House of Assemble visits Awka flyovers to see first hand the level of work done. I must confess this infrastructure is a state-of-the-art masterpiece even Abuja is a learner here. I was made to understand by the contractors that Kwatta flyovers will even be greater than this in outlook..

This is great.
One hopes they maintain the high quality of work by using great factory made street lights such as the road below.
Instead of having local welders to fabricate street lights such as those that Peter Obi installed along Zik avenue Awka.
Those welders tried, but once you see factory made street lights like below, you'll know the difference when compared to local welders fabricated ones.
