There is no country in this Earth that values its citizens more than USA.

Sowore's wife is getting big support as a result of this. Big statement by Mr. Senator. The USA is watching,let's see what will happen to Sowore.

If you only have Nigerian citizenship, like myself, pity yourself and struggle to NEVER give your fruits Nigerian citizenship.

Mtchewww.

But it is okay if one US citizen kills other US citizens or residents in the name of gun violence?

What have the senator and Trump done about this? Or is the DSS evasion of a Nigerian court a more serious concern in the US than gun violence that has persisted for decades unattended to?

What we saw was overzealousness of security agents, which happens nearly everywhere in the world, including in the US.

Are you saying that policemen who harass or kill innocent people in Nigeria or elsewhere were directed by their governments to do so?

Nigeria is an evil forest. Before we will see a president that will find the egg of life go tey

You call Nigeria an evil forest because of what a senator from the world's most hypocritical nation said abi?

What has the hypocritical senator and his country done about the rigging of Trump's election?

The US claims to be a corrupt free nation but a chunk of looted funds from Africa end up in their economy?

What a heavenly forest! I don't blame people like you who aren't critical in reasoning... dem don brainwash una. Oya, go collect US visa as you help dem insult Nigeria.

Our ever wonderful public universities are ever ready to accommodate them
Rubbish

I am very certain you are a mentally unstable person.

We warned them, they all wanted Jonathan out because he has a lot of ***** in his cabinet.

Enjoy your president o

Say all you want but most Nigerians voted and support for Buhari.

We 'dash' you Jonathan, you can make him the everlasting President General of your Town Union.

We don't regret kicking him out. Only those who aren't ready to do legitimate work or lazy are regretting and in penury.

The problem with Nigeria is that a lot of people are not even educated, so the more you try to explain things to them, the more confused they are.
They know next to nothing about economic engineering, " how the economy works.", a friend rushed down to scream that Buhari had closed the border, the economy is about to collapse again, he was so furious.
I asked him how will the economy collapse?, he said the word is out on the street, everybody is afraid, price of rice and other items are going up.
A month later he came back, and I was like this dumbo is back again, he opened his mouth and said that the border closure was a blessing in disguise.
I was like how?, he said their warehouse is empty now, all the spaghetti and noodles that are not moving in the market have been sold.
I asked him what would have happen if the goods in the warehouse were not sold, he said his employer was already planning to replace everyone in the sales team.
I told him, that even if his employer sack and hire the sales team a hundred times, as long as the local goods are exposed to cheap foreign goods, that product will not sell and in the end, the bussiness will be shut down and people will loose jobs.
I told him that those who closed the border already factored this and other issues into consideration, before deciding to close the border.

I don't know where to even start thanking you from.

The points you made are salient. Number one of which is the issue of education. Sincerely, the situation is worrisome.

To emphasize how 'strange' many Nigerians are, the initial and still lingering protest against border closure tells that 'they' do not even have the capacity to recognize or distinguish good from bad intention. To them, so long the directive does not directly put money into their pockets, it is a bad policy. Should they bother about the macroeconomics? The answer is no because it does not 'concern' them.

Since the history of Nigeria, I can say without fear or reservation, that no single government decision has offered this much leverage to boost our economy while churning out hundreds of thousands of jobs as the border closure.

It's really pathetic.. People are not afraid of death when it comes to satisfying their greed.

My bro, it is really pitiful.

I believe it's greed 'cos there are millions of people surviving without engaging in pipeline vandalism.

I know people who take very good care of their families riding keke or okada.

Why would anyone want to end their lives like this?

SoNature:
While I am not his fan, technocrats who served under Goodluck Jonathan apparently remain some of the best brains that ever came out of this country.

Today, I've yet to pick out one professional whose impact is felt across the nooks and crannies of this country.

If Buhari's definition of governance (settling party loyalists with sensitive positions) is what democracy truly is, then democracy isn't worth it.

Buhari and his goons have taken Nigeria's leadership to an all time low!

Congratulations to Mr. Adesina!

This is an award truly deserved!

Mtchewww.

You made no sense at all.

Jonathan worked with the best technocrats indeed. I am certain you've never met one who is truly a technocrat nor understand the actual meaning of the word.

Jonathan's 'technocrats' such as Okonjo Iweala, Allison-Madueke, Adesina & co, who supervised the looting of our patrimony and came up with programs and policies that have no bearing on the Nigerian masses.

How far did Adesina's cassava initiative go? Why was Adesina unable to revitalize the fertilizer blending plants, in all his ingenuity? Can you recall their fertilizer - mobile phone initiative for farmers? Of what economic value was that? Where was Okonjo Iweala when Sambo Dasuki took over her role as Finance minister to divert funds meant for security to cronies and party men? Buhari's Presidential Fertilizer Initiative has ensured the revitalization of various blending plants across Nigeria. Unlike, cassave bread, our Nigerian rice has flooded every nook and cranny of the country, as production is said to have hit 5 - 6million metric tons per annum, according to RIFAN. Did you know that the cost of fertilizer dropped by around 100% with the implementation of the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative? Where was Okonjo Iweala when our foreign reserve was being depleted, thereby permitting a free fall of the naira? Did you know that the Jonathan administration borrowed to pay April 2015 salary - that was the very last month before he left office? Did you know that Jonathan left less than $30billion as foreign reserve but today we have over $45billion? Should I name Buhari's projects for you? Where were Okonjo Iweala and Allison Madueke during the oil windfall when others in OPEC saved billions of $? How much did they save?

https://www.nairaland.com/3016147/flash-back-okonjos-excuse-borrowing

Let's not go to Allison-Madueke because she can best be described as a disaster. Make I nor hear call her technocrat o. Abi, na because she be the first black ED of Shell? Does her conduct as minister not prove to any discerning mind that she was undeserving of her past accomplishments? Wasn't she a mere opportunist? What defines a technocrat are expertise and character.

Let me have the names of the loyalists that Buhari compensated with sensitive positions as you claimed.

Ololanla:
This is the kind of person we need to run the affair of the country not someone like Bubu.

Oga, make we leave matter abeg.

Na all of them be the 'cassava bread' people.

What sense does it make disbelieving him when there is a government in the state that can easily prove him wrong disgracefully by a single post or statement.

Use your number 6!

VERY pathetic situation.

Look at what poverty has done to Nigerians. Poverty turn Nigerians to monster

So, poverty is responsible?

I guess the affected are the last poor Nigerians...at least, there are no more poor Nigerians left.

tosyne2much:
I doubt if he's going to survive it. His chances of surviving is slim especially in a country like this

'...His chances of survival is slim in a country like this'

Abeg how's the country? Should we be emphasizing how the country is in this situation or blaming people who still vandalize assets to satisfy their own greed, irrespective of the risks involved?

Why do people never learn? I lost someone this year in an incident like this. Quite heart breaking! Are you aware that people still scamper to scoop fuel from fallen fuel tankers? Now, the question is, how can the country be with these kinds of people?

Mgbadike80:
While the government is busy wasting time on irrelevant and minor issues, their regime is going and at the end of another 4years, they would leave only debts, propaganda and suffering as their only achievements. Devilish lying idiots.

So, IPPIS is irrelevant and a minor issue?

Oga, no more sharing of money...make everybody go find wetin to do o.

Did we have a functional rail system in the past three decades?

Besides, we have coaches like that.

This administration deserves commendation.

Let's quit the bad mouthing. It makes no sense.

I just wonder what the LOAN will be used for After all the Tax collection and inflation in the country.... Yet we still seek for loans from foreign affairs, thus regime sucks

REMEMBER THIS IS NOT HATE SPEECH

Even if it is hate speech, we nor know you.... So happy hating!

BaaleOko:
STFU with the noise, the era of police brutality and unbridled acts of thuggery against unarmed civilians has been an act of brigandage gone too far, it was just a question of time before it had to be checked, if you act mad on my turf, best believe I'll respond with equal and more savage madness... Because you have a gun and wear a uniform doesn't make you exempt from the madness when jungle finally matures.

I don't blame you, dem just serve you food chop belleful this morning. Hope you don say 'mama thank ma, papa thank sir?'

Guyman02:
While they are busy establishing Universities of Transportation, Army and Airforce in the North, they are busy sending deaths and destruction to the SE knowing that some people who hate anything Igbo will defend them in the same social media they are proposing death sentence

University of Transportation, which groundbreaking was just done is now more important than the Maritime University already completed and in use in the South south; 2nd Niger Bridge that is steadily progressing; Itakpe-Warri Rail project which was redesigned to connect the Onitsha Main Market from Agbor running through the 2nd Niger Bridge; the Akanu Ibiam International Airport that is currently being expanded and upgraded; the completed Ikot Ekpene-Alaoji-Ugwuaji Switching Station and Transmission Line; the Lagos-Ibadan Rail project that is almost completed; the Zik Mausoleum project that was completed in 2018 having being initially awarded in 1996; the N500 million pension paid to retired, war affected (ex-biafra) police personnel granted presidential pardon since year 2000.....


Before you go ahead with talking more nonsense, I am a son of the soil, a bonafide, well-informed Anambra man. So, don't play your next ethnic card...'cos it is as good as failed.

I hate to do this but I have to. Isn't it rather shameful that we ask quite so much from Buhari the things we ought to have gotten from PDP or are we saying that there was nothing we gained from supporting PDP for 16 years because we seem to be lacking everything, actually. No, no, no, no....don't tell me we just did 'follow follow' with PDP for 16 years with nothing to show for it? Please, don't.

That isn't how politics is played bro. Don't tell me that our claim of being the elite and sophisticated ethnic group in Nigeria is a scam....you mean say even 'gwari' (no offence intended) better pass us?

You want to say you aren't aware that there is a Federal University in Otueke or that Buhari completed the multi billion naira Central Ogbia Regional Water Project within 2 years in office, which former president Jonathan couldn't complete in about 4 years?

What destruction and death are they sending to us? Isn't it a shame that a market like Ochanja doesn't have a fire service attached to it, despite goods and trading worth billions transacted weekly? What has been done since the unfortunate fire incident? Do we now have fire services in all the large markets in the SE? Who is responsible for putting these fire services in place in the SE? Is it the Yoruba or Fulani man?

Bro, let's stop this reckless irresponsibility... It won't do us any good. Every time, 'Hausa and Yoruba hate us', do we like ourselves and how much? Can you freely eat and drink in your village when you visit? Try it this Christmas and let's see....or have our villages being taken over by people from Daura who want to poison and kill us all?

Bro, whenever there seems to be a problem.... start your check from 'within'.

Beosten:
Painment! Python only dances, it doesn't kill...

Go ahead with making foolish comments as if you don't know the enormity of killing a law enforcement officer.

You guys just don't know anything...that is tantamount to declaring a war in case you don't know.

Buhari lenient sha....bro, if na me be president....chaiiiiii (in Sam Loco's voice).

Since 2015, ALL developments about the South of Nigeria, is ALWAYS in the FUTURE TENSE!
While projects in the North are started and completed right under our nose.
Buhari and his fulani kidnappers, una welldone o.

Did you even read what you typed?

For starters, do you even know which part is North or South?

Has the Ikot Ekpene-Alaoji-Ugwuaji Switching Station and Transmission Line not been completed? Is that in the North?

What about the Nnamdi Azikiwe Mausoleum project in Onitsha? Has it not been long completed? Are you aware that the project was first awarded in 1996?

Did you know that Buhari's Presidential Fertilizer Initiative is responsible for the revival of the Ebonyi State Fertiliser and Chemical Company Limited (EFCCL), creating jobs and boosting the supply of fertilizer in the Southeast?

Did you know that pensions were paid to Retired War-Affected (Ex-Biafran) Police Personnel in 2017? Buhari paid N500 million to clear pensions arrears that had not been paid since their presidential pardon in 2000.

These are projects in the SE, not even the entire south as you mentioned...I can give you more if you want.

Oga, let's not go there 'cos you really won't have anything to say.

Coldie:
I see nothing wrong with siting the uni in Katsina.

As far as there would be one too in the south Rivers state to be precise.

All I see wrong is why construct a train from Katsina to Niger republic when the East does not have one.

Both the north east and south east in fact the entire Eastern part of the Niger doesn't have any single rail project.

Oga, the Itakpe-Warri Rail line, which will be set for full operation early next year, will pass through several towns, including Agbor which is 70km East of Onitsha.

The design of the 2nd Niger Bridge has already been modified to include a railway at the center. The plan is to link the rail in Agbor through the 2nd Niger Bridge to the main market in Onitsha.

So, please do not say what you do not know.

When they caught Maina like a wild animal, there was no ethnic undertone?
Adoke is about to be bundled back like okrika cloth, no ethnic bias?

You should have asked the EFCC to wait till the Ohaneze gives them permission. Nonsense.

My bro, I am from Anambra state. This matter don taya me.

This is one thing I hate to admit. I don't know why we condone stealing in the SE and SS so much, as if we are all thieves.

Dasuki has been in incarceration, you will not hear Northern or Sokoto youths in the media saying it is witchhunt or taking over any government establishment in a protest.

Two northern governors and tons of ex government officers from the North are in jail.....same reaction of 'let them answer for themselves'.

Ohanaze is just there doing nothing. They can't call the youths to order neither can they put together initiatives to address this despicable notions, ideologies and practices that tend to put us all out there as a people who condone criminality.

Edu3Again:
This group that u are scared of them to leave Nija?
They tried 1967, u came & declared war on them.

They tried again 2017 & u sent in the Army.

You dey this group

Oga, better keep quiet, especially about the war.

Yes, because you know next to nothing about it.

For the starters, go and find out who declared the war of 1967...

PDP if u dont push for electronic voting u may not win any/major election again.

If u like prepare the hardest for 2023 u will not win.

You know the reason.

U go to tribunal u waste your money.

PDP deserves the losses and failures they are getting, whether rigged or not.

They had 20 years to prepare Nigeria and Nigerians for greatness and prosperity, but failed woefully.

Can a party that raised N27billion for her own National Secretariat building, which was valued at N16billion (that's after inflating it o), but couldn't complete the project, be relied upon to build a nation?

Isn't it a shame that PDP, after 16 years of being at the helm of Nigeria, still pays rent for Wadata Plaza?
