Abusidiqu has always been a useless paid APC blogger just like Osun defender, they don't even try to disguise their lies.
Don't worry about us, a simple matter like toll or no toll cannot make us block the construction of that bridge.
Let it be completed first, then see if we will pay any toll.
We will cross the bridge when we get there (literally).

The amateur blog muddled up the article.
The 36 months completion period is for a road linking Kebbi and Sokota state, it was also announced on the same day.

Dude, that quote was made in hausa and completely twisted. The proverb or adage has an entirely different meaning. I am not Hausa but even i chose to research it. Do the same please.

What did you find out from your research?
Let me disgrace you and your fellow liars.

500GP:
YOU MEAN 2.8 MILLION VOTES, 5 STATES IN SOUTH WEST CANVASS FOR GEJ

HOW MANY VOTES DID SOUTH SOUTH /SOUTH EAST GAVE HIM?

Almost 12 million combined.
Yet the people who gave him a paltry 2.8 million make all the noise about being kingmakers and all. Even the North west and North centeral gave him more votes than the South west, though he lost in those zones.

My opinion:
1. This is the MOST PERFECT & MOST SUCCINCT summation of Nigeria's history, woes, and potentials ever!
2. Once again the Yoruba Nation will decide who 'lords over' over-centralized One Nigeria. But we are no fools. We mostly supported President Jonathan in 2011 and will mostly support Gen. Buhari in 2015 but the core question of our unfettered capacity to properly govern our nation within the Nigerian experiment remains at the height of our deepest desires.
3. And by God we will pull out of Nigeria if the General refuses to heed the words of wisdom.
4. To be honest, we have nothing really to lose in 2015. Jonathan in fact may lead Nigeria faster to the seemingly inevitable disintegration than GMB. We wait even as we plan...

But Yorubas did not decide who won the 2011 election na?
Your 2.8 million votes were completely insignificant when compared to the 22 million he got in total.
Stop the foolish unfounded hype.

Doyin Okupe, Reuben Abati and Reno Omokri are all working for their brother Tinubu.
I said it here long ago.

Fashola na BOSS!

Assuming Fash is a Christian PDP don enter soup cos pairing him with GMB is the best bet. Sure bet!

Nevertheless, GMB/Osinbajo 2015 jor!

But he was never in contention na, even if they wanted to go for a muslim, it would have been Tinubu.
APC does not rate your Fashola at all.

[s]All those trying to beef amaechi don't even realise dt dey are looking at likely d most influential politician in d next dispensation, if eventually buhari wins. Apart from compensating him wt an important post like d SGF or a lucrative ministerial portfolio, wt buhari's presidency and his contributions to it,he wud virtually b allowed to determine who becomes what in d ss.
When coupled wt his background and experience in d politics of nig,even tinubu's influence wud pale compared to what amaechi wud dictate in d ss region.I doubt if even d vp to b,osinbanjo can become as powerful as amaechi. I only pity d tompolos,wikes,seriason Dickson's of d ss. I see majority of dese pple, as is typical of nigerian politicians, changing allegiances to d APC after d hurricane hits dem.[/s]

Absolute trash.
1. Buhari isn't going to win the elections
2. Even if he wins, this isn't the military era where one man could be allowed to determine who becomes what in a region, Amaechi isn't a military man either.
3. The south south, especially Rivers state has some of the most stubborn people you will ever meet, so that follow follow mentality Tinubu is supposedly benefitting from cannot work there, not with Amaechi.
None of what you wrote above is going to happen.

That simply means more outstanding salaries for Rivers state civil servants as more of Rivers money is plunged into APC's campaign.

ZKOSOSO:
Guy! I know Olisa myself. Ask him. He was raised in the north Jos.

Being born there does not equate being raised there. He was raised in the east, from primary up to university level.

ZKOSOSO:
May God Keep Blessing this rare lawyer with a human face !! Olisa was born and raised in the north. So he knows it!!

You can see clearly that it takes a southerner who is born, raise and school in the core muslim North to really appreciate the thick discrimation that exist in this country put in place by ahmadu bello from the 50s till date!

Elds criteria for kids
Catchment area for adult students
Quota system for working class
Federal character for positions and promotions
Muslim/ christian for politicians and traditional institutions. Nearly all palaces in north arefor fulani muslims evenwhen xtians are 90% of the population, eg kafanchan, gwoza, mubi, zuru, all of fct palaces!!
North/south for president

Its almost impossible for a southerner born and raised in the north will not grow up with a sense of hate.

Now let's face this for once!! Are emirs supposed to be paid with govt money?? They are islamic leaders that only use Sharia to rule.
So they are like pastors, rev fathers,bishops etc. So why maintain them with govt fund??

He was raised in the east, Onitsha precisely.

Completion period of 36 months?

The man doesn't look 55 anyway, just as Tinubu doesn't look 62.
Football age is in action.

APC will go to any length to advance their course.
Party full of liars.

asha80:
Just wondering if imsg can build an owerri bye pass tiad that would connect Onitsha owerri express around irete to connect to obinze towards ihiagwa nekede and bust out at naze futo junction so that vehicles going to aba would not enter owerri proper.

All those places you mentioned are very much supposed to be part of ''Owerri proper''. With a more prosperous economy and an increase in population, they will be.

Bros, so those that has Niger-delta blood running through their vain are born liars abi? Bros abeg find one place go sitdown if u no get better tin to talk. I wish ur younger sister dey among those innocent girls wa Boko boys kidnap I wonder weda u for they talk like dis!

Akhigbe Courage, why do you always carry Niger Delta matters on your head?
Your Edo state was added to the original Niger-Delta by Obasanjo the same day he added Abia, Imo and Ondo, but you will never hear people from those states scream ''Niger Delta'' on the top of their voices like you do because they are proud of who they are.
There is absolutely nothing Niger Delta about Edo, geographically or otherwise.
When push comes to shove, the real Niger Deltans know themselves and you aren't one.
Be proud of where you are from.

Collynzo9:
Each time a thread like this comes up, Boko haram releases a new video few days later.
We should be expecting a new vide any moment from now.

Hahahaha I said it.
It didn't take long, did it? Just 3 days later.
www.saharareporters.com/2014/12/17/boko-haram-leader-shekau-releases-new-video-vows-attack-emir-sanusi-kano

Very very poor.
Not a Presidential combination at all.

Schematics:
Stop it. Which way could he had presented it? Does Ayogu not know that Orient is already drilling oil in Anambra?

My take is that the clown Ayogu just want to play to the gallery.

Andy Uba presented the matter very well. The only reason I found that made the bill to be stalled was because of NBC ongoing delineation. Very soon they will be through with it and as we already know 98% of the oil fields are all in Anambra which is why there is drilling ongoing right now in Anambra.

Andy Uba should have told the house how many barrels per day Orient currently produces from Anambra, together with other details that qualifies Anambra as an oil producing state.
Instead he was babbling about what GEJ said more than 2 years ago.
His presentation was poor, that is the truth.

laBarca:
Which is very bad and unfortunate considering that they are of same tribe. The Igbo Senators should have first discussed it within themselves, agree and then lobby other members first before bringing it to the floor. Our legislators though...

Andy Uba messed up, it is as simple as that.
He didn't present the case like someone who even went through elementary school.
I would have been the first to shut him up if I was there.
Fûcking disgrace.

honeric01:
You have problems with comprehension? read again!

Tell me what you understood Mr perfect comprehension.
They were clamouring for oil that was recognised as being produced form Delta state, how can you present that to me as evidence that Edo currently produces oil?

Arysexy:
Senate did not reject But suspended the enlisting till boundary demarcation complete their task.

Igbo haters already masturbating.

Ayogu eze, iwe nwanne adirokwa eru na okpukpu.

Ayogu Eze did nothing wrong, Andy Uba or whatever he calls himself presented his case like the stark illiterate he is, it is such a shame that his constituency has a person like him representing them.
Instead of him to give details of how many barrels of oil Anambra currently produces daily, he cited the fact tha President Jonathan declared the state as Oil producing in 2012 as his reason.
That was pure crap.

honeric01:
Educate yourself

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/11/edo-youths-vow-resist-pumping-crude-oil-edo-delta/

You need the education a lot more.
Your link proves what I said, Edo state no longer produces oil.
The Youths in question were angry with Seplat for supposedly ceding oil from their land to Delta state.
It shows that they are desperate to latch on to that oil producing status.
Read your links properly before throwing them around.

9jacrip:
True.
I am just wondering if every state, even with the tiniest production of oil should be part of NNDC

No they shouldn't be part of the NDDC, just let them keep whatever ''tiny'' revenue that comes out to themselves.
As I've proven in previous posts, Ukwa west alone makes more money for the FG than is given to Abia state as a whole.
If Abia is allowed to keep their oil money to themselves, they will have 10 times more than what they receive from the FG, same goes for Imo. Even if the revenue is shared among the 5 eastern states, each of them will still receive far more than they currently do.
Unfortunately, they have to share their wealth with unproductive states like Osun, Oyo, Ekiti etc.

9jacrip:
Really?
Then how does Edo get rated to produce much more than Imo and Abia combined?

Where did you get that from?
I will like to see it

honeric01:
Choi!

Can you back this up with facts?

Edo cannot boast of 1 barrel today, that is enough fact.

When Shell shut down production of oil in Ukwa west LGA of Abia state in 2011, they were losing as much as N400 million per day, (N12 billion per month).
www.thetidenewsonline.com/2011/09/26/shell-shuts-production-in-abia-rivers/

9jacrip:
It does but with the 13% derivation it gets only Umuhaia North is the only place to show for it?
Either it has 30,000 oil wells, the fact that it accounts for less than 20% and gets part of the 13% makes no sense.
Its output cannot even sustain just 2 states from the gully erosion ravaged South Least.

Shell produces 25 000 barrels of oil per day from Ukwa west LGA of Abia state alone.
Even if you peg oil price at $50 (N8000)per barrel, you will still be getting as much N200 million a day from that local government alone.
That is N6 billion a month from just one local government and one production company.
How much does Abia receive from the FG monthly?

ilugunboy:
How can you be sure of that when because of this issue...lives were lost and the crisis prompted a committee to be set up.

When you look at it as a neutral person....you will see that you are jumping the gun by labeling Anambra an oil producing state at this time.

Allow the committee to submit a definite report and let's see.

The are disputing one or two oil wells that fell close to the boundary but others which are undisputed are currently producing.
It is simple English.
Anambra is an oil producing state.

9jacrip:
I have done that but apart from Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Edo. The others are generally brushed aside or mentioned in passing.

My inference from the above is that the 5 states actually bear the weight of oil profuction and the other states cannot even sustain Nigeria alone with whatever oil they produce.

Lastly, I generally do not expect an oil producing state to be dead like Abia is. It should be merged with Imo, honestly.

This shows how Ignorant you are.
Ohaji/Egbema LGA alone in Imo produces more oil than the whole of EDO state

9jacrip:
Thank you.
I have not been able to find a link to back up this claim of yours though.
And with the deepest reserve and oil all over they account for less than 20%.

Even if it is just 5%, it is still worth a lot more than they receive as revenue under the present arrangement.
