LegendHero:
Cows have strayed to his house before and he made a statement then that they were arrested. I think he did the interview at the same BBC then.

However there is a signpost on his property that reads that cows that trespass will be killed and I think they should have followed up with that and kill those cows that trespassed and get the Fulani herdsmen arrested for trespassing on his property.

They should have killed the cows and arrested the Fulani herdsmen....

Are you sure that you are well?

Beremx:
That the cows strayed shouldn’t be taken likely. Be watchful and vigilant of their next visit. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Enemies of peace!

That Serves The "Two Fair Thieves" Right
As For The Escaped One He Should Go And Sin No More Because If He Continue He Probably Will Not Live Again To Tell The Tale!

I am not against people paying for their wrongs.

However, jungle justice is a big NO for me.

Why then are we protesting against police brutality when people can be killed in this manner?

[quote author=Baawahala post=98811109][/quote]That is your analysis.

At least you called them votes...

Funflipper:
But he couldn't have achieved that all by himself. If it wasn't for tinubu, amaechi, oshiomole and co, the slug in aso rock would have been cast into the books of history even before the last election.

Even without these people Buhari had always hit between 6 and 10million votes in presidential elections.

Go check the records between 2003 and 2011.

The individuals you mentioned did help but the leverage had always been Buhari himself. Of course, they helped him in order to further their own political aspirations. That is how it works.

Tinubu became a national leader of a ruling party, and today a frontline presidential hopeful; Amaechi became a top federal minister while Oshiomohle led a national ruling party.

This was what they all worked for. However, the biggest factor in achieving all of these, undoubtedly, is Muhammadu Buhari.

FortifiedCity:
You have been talking trash lately.

Oga, believe it or not... That's a statement of fact.

Give me the name of one person in Nigeria that can muster 10million guaranteed votes even before any presidential election is conducted?

aryzgreat:
Owner of Channels TV?

No.

John Momoh owns Channels TV.

Google could have done this for you.

oluwasegun007:
Instead of them to be putting their house in order against next election...

They are busy fighting...

Later they will be begging bubu for IG position.

Igbos are their own problem.

I have always said it.

I feel Duncan Mighty is a better musician. Till tomorrow people still play his music.

Nor be lie!

I like Timaya a lot, but Duncan is better.

IamRichards:
Condolences to the bereaved family.But Okowa no dey try at all for governance.

My condolences too.

So, na this man born that failure of a Governor?

Okowa is a clear case study of disaster in governance.

HolySpiritFire:
Alas! Dangote is not as smart as the public thought!
SMH.

Exactly.

It clearly punches the deep seated 'thinking' that successful people succeeded for being smart.

Even the most unsmart could encounter stupendous wealth and success.

Without prejudice to the virtues of hardwork and ingenuity, riches are gifts from the unseen Creator.

Of what good was / is Obasanjo himself to Nigeria?

Obasanjo is one of the worst things that happened to Nigeria.

DonBenny77:
True but some fools will call him out for being "broke"

Na the matter be dat....call out even when it is the plain truth.

I wonder what the jobs of the drugs enforcement agencies are.

ValCon888:
Only Nollywood actresses build houses, buy cars, fly to Dubai, and throw housewarming parties.
With the exception of Funke Akindele and a few others, the term "Nollywood Actress" is another name for the word "Óloshó."

I often do not go with sweeping comments like this. But when what has been said stares glaringly as an open truth, I can't help it.

Na only women dey act film for Nigeria?

IduNaOba:
Damn!
Aka ná asa ụchụ World wide

What nonsensical praises are those?

JovialJune:
Lol one thing I love about Trump is he doesnt give up easily, he cannot be tamed, bought over, or pushed to a corner, his word is his bond, he cannot be victimised or cower in defeat, he obviously sees failure as a minute setback,

Goodluck to him in all his endeavors.

He is too full of himself and irrational.

There has not been anything presidential about him.

He was responsible for his own fall.

TooNoisy:
I can bet that most of the women soldiers will be from the Southern part of the country.

The Northern girls don't join the military; yet Hell-Rufai will take Southern girls to go defend his people against terrorists he and Buhari are supporting.

Stop being a petty tribalist!

In the military, there is no such thing as gender.

Go and slap a female soldier on the road na...make she reverse your life with her fist.

lastmessenger:
This is a set up. Believe me its a set up. I pity those ladies because anyone who falls into the hand of the jihadist will pay with her pussy

This one brain don off o....

Inkling:
You did not hear of him because there is nothing coming out of the office.

We are not dragging about seniority here.

The decisions of COAS we decide if the insecurity that has bedeviled the current Government will end soon or not. Therefore, favourism should not be the factor use in selecting it, Lamidi Adeosun is still far better - I forget that Yoruba Muslims are also infidels

Lol.

This one thinks the COAS makes decisions in isolation.

He runs his decisions through the CDS, Defence Minister and the C-in-C if you do not know.

Since the nonsense you wrote...'the COAS decides when insecurity ends bla bla'. Na him get Nigeria be dat na...

Greenback:
You don't know nada n you got no idea what the more intelligent inkling is talking about otherwise you should have know that the COA staff is more powerful than the others including the queen of England of a COD staff.

Lol.

Inkling:
Defense chief is ceremonial bro.

How many time did you hear anything about the former one throughout his tenure?

There is no such thing as ceremonial in the military.

Your senior is your senior.

Perhaps, you should do a simple research to find out who the most senior military officer in Nigeria is.

All you guys do is complain over nothing.

How does hearing about him a million times or just twice change the fact of his superiority over the COAS?

Let's not do this abeg, it's petty.

Inkling:
Defense chief is ceremonial bro.

How many time did you hear anything about the former one throughout his tenure?

What is this one saying?

See the dumb question you are asking sef.

This is a simple case of who is superior, and has more powers.

That is why you guys don't learn.

What do you mean by ceremonial?

That's how they kept mouthing 'common commissioner' on VP Osinbajo, yet Buhari handed over to him while he was sick and abroad.

futuregovernor:
Shut up

You sharraap!

If you guys ain't fools you'd realise that the CDS position, which Buhari handed a Southerner, is superior to the COAS.

Mumu people! looking for worthless attention.

Inkling:
Hmmmmm

A real Nigerian Muslim (Fulani Muslim) see non Muslim as infidel.

You only succeeded in making yourself as foolish as Reno, with this kind of comment.

Which ranks higher between the positions of Defence Chief and Army Chief?

Who is now the infidel? You or Reno?

Adults will just open their mouths and speak like kids.....mtchewww.

OyigboUpdate:
I hope they are killing us cry will not start?

Leave them...

He is hailing them from the UK abi...Lol.

It is true bro.

I am currently in Sapele.

Oton, is currently, a no-go area.

AustineJohn908:
Ok o. keep being igbo, I'm from the South south and I know we want to handle our own resources and grow in our own pace and if our governors steal well part of life.

Mtchewww.

You want to manage your resources indeed.

What have your Governors, over the past 20 years, achieved with the 13% derivation that accrues to the region.

The South south region is even the worst in terms of leadership rascality and corruption.

AustineJohn908:
See bro if peaceful restructuring doesn't happen, forceful one will. I'm thankful oil will be worthless in a few years, let me see how worthless oil can help Nigeria economy of 200 million people.
Now is the time to restructure, let each state or region control their resources and pay dividends to the centre.
let reduce the power that is in the centre..

By the way, how aren't the Igbos ready yet? you see why I said you Yorubas and North are scare of the Igbos rulling?
In the 1980s buhari stint as military President, he stopped the construction of a Lagos metro rail line. just check.

Igbos aren't ready to lead Nigeria.

I am Igbo before you start brandishing your half truths again.

I am waiting for the forceful restructuring.

AustineJohn908:
You're behaving like you not in this same Nigeria where the Yorubas, The Northerners are scare of an igbo man ruling...weren't you hear when before 2015 election the Igbos where the Igbos voted in the majority for Buhari not towin simply because they were scare.
There is everything wrong for a state to secure permission from the centre govt before embarking on a capital project...it just like saying maybe New York have to secure permission from the American Govt before doing any top project.
It is everything wrong because the FG might reject it for any reason whatsover, maybe because Mr President is having some problems with Mr Govtnor. then the state suffers for that reason.
Because Education or sanitation haven't been given top priority doesn't mean other top project shouldn't go on.
Do your remember the Lagos rail system which the Lagos State govt wanted to build but had to go to the Buhari led Govt to ask Permission and permission wasn't granted and that project have to come to a halt, today Lagos State is suffering for it. that rail line would've solved alot of issues currently confronting Lagos transportation system today.

When we restructure the country, a new Constitution will be unveiled. a constitution that will hold those Governors or politicians to ransom. even if they like they should've a blood connection to Mr President they will still be arrested and persecuted.
A constitution whereby the judiciary will be free of the fg influence.
Imagine a constitution like the United States constitution where institutions of the state are powerful and not even Mr President can stop them from investigating and persecuting corrupt individuals.

If they're rails linked to the SE why then is the easterners clamouring to have rail linking their state either to each other or to Lagos?

If we keep the system of feeding from the centre states will not live up to their full potentials cause they will always be waiting for centre money. but when we restructure, each region will go back to the drawing board. on how to make money to sustain themselves and this will in turn make electorate vote people that have their well-being at heart.

Maybe, you have another Nigeria that I don't know about.

Restructuring is a no no for me.

Almost everything you are saying here is unfounded and strange.

Which rail did Buhari prevent Lagos from constructing?

The judiciary in Nigeria has allowed corruption to swallow her. The FG isn't their problem.

You call the collosal political miscalculation by the Igbos 'fear of the North'? It is not. They only hate Buhari, and that is their cup of tea.

No one just wakes up and begins to rule Nigeria. The Igbos aren't ready yet. It has nothing to do with anyone being 'scared' of them. Do not mistake absence of mutual trust for fear. There is mutual mistrust everywhere....all over the world.

AustineJohn908:
And all these stuffs about accountability, Transparency and rounded development can't take place if every one is scare of who is in the centre. is a fulani man that is the president, the Igbos will be scare, if it an igbo man the north will be scare or if it a Yoruba man the Igbos will be scare. it doesn't make sense

And what I'm saying about Police chief defending an offending police man is that the police doesn't answer to the state Govtnors. check these SARS officers and what they did in Anambra state and you will see what I'm talking about.

About the development part. do you know Akwa ibom state needed a FG approval before we could begin building the seaport? so that's means if a President comes in that don't like my state he can make sure approval aren't given for capital projects that will develop my state.
Do you know Ex governor Akpabio spent allot of Akwa ibom money in building power plant to power the whole of Akwa ibom but when time came we had to send this Power to the centre so the whole Federation will share it? So it means if state A doesn't invest in power it will still reap the harvest that State B is supposed to reap?

Do you know a Regional Govtment would've made sure that say South south region is linked up by Rail lines instead of waiting for a federal govt to link it up.
Check out the East, they're begging the FG to link their region with Rail, don't you think a regional govt of theirs would've done that by now?

Because the first Regional system was dissolved doesn't mean it was wrong, it shows the military leaders of that time were short sighted.

If we don't restructure today we will all suffer tomorrow, Oil is becoming worthless and soon it will worth less than 10 dollars which will not be enough to offset our bills as a nation.
The truth is that when we restructure now eery region will start planning of life without oil money(Daddy's money) and so leaders that will come in will have to think of where to get money from, and there will be less stealing. Lazy leaders won't go in any longer (especially those outside the oil producing Regions/states)....
For all our good, we have to restructure now.

Why is it that Kano, Kaduna all these sharia state keep sharing money for VAT they don't contribute in? same VAT their sharia police keep destroying bottles of beers etc.
If you don't see restructuring can solve that then I can't help your case.

These are just theories. They hold no real significance in how things truly work.

You really just talk about things without facts. How can you say that Kano and Kaduna do not contribute to VAT?

What has the dwindling oil fortune got to do with restructuring? Do states not have a responsibility for IGR generation already?

I do not see how the police not answering to the Governor affects anything at all. Ask how well the Governors have faired / are fairing with the funds and powers currently at their disposal. Aren't they the real reason the country is moving at a snail speed? Tell me, if we have 36 + 1 hyper working units, who would really care about any center? How well are the states applying the resources that they receive and generate?

There are rail links to the SS and SE, so I do not understand what you mean by 'begging' the FG for rail link up.

Why should any sane Nigerian be scared of the man at the center? It makes no sense.

There is nothing wrong with the states requiring approval to execute power, airport and / or seaport projects. These aren't Nigeria's
real problems. Are these why we have unending corruption? Is it why the public school systems are failing? What about healthcare and sanitation?

Is it why politicians are acquiring stupendous wealth and properties across the country and abroad, to the detriment of the masses? What has restructuring got to do with dishonesty in leadership?

AustineJohn908:
Ok na. keep postponing it. saying it nonsense. when push comes to shove and we are all tired of the country..we go divide.
but we're telling them now, save Nigeria from division by restructuring and bringing in a new Constitution.
A constitution where it won't matter the state you originate from but if you have live in a particular region or state for up to 10 years you can contest for election and vote to, be you white, brown, black, Christian, Muslim, Jewish etc. as long as the people there vote for you just as how it is done in develop world like the USA, UK, Germany etc.
A constitution where a region will have it own national guard(USA type) which will answer to the regional governor only. and the state leaders( like mayor ) will control the police..which entirely will be made up of people that is from the state or have live there for more than 10 years and swear allegiance to that state .
A constitution where institutions of the state will have enough power to even investigate a president ( Trump and the Russia election Saga)
A constitution where they won't be immunity for the Governors/ Mayors of any region/ state


A constitution where they won't be asking for Religion, State of Origin, language etc(Like the USA)

A constitution where each state will control their resources and make money from it and give a certain agreeable percentage to the centre govt. so each and every state/ Region will grow at it own pace not being slow down by a particular region.
A constitution where the federal Govt will only control the army, airforce,Navy,immigration, Foreign affairs etc..
A constitution where each state/ Region will build and supply it citizen power. so if Region A refuses to invest in power it won't affect region C.
A constitution where the state Govt or regional govt will invest in their own rail lines without having to go through the FG.
A constitution where they will be security for the people and they won't be scare of the fulani if they're in power.
A constitution that will make the FG very weak and the regional govt stronger....so the Igbos won't care who is in power or the north won't care cause they control their own resources and do what they like.
A constitution where every state will have it own supreme Court, high court etc with it own laws....just like the USA.
Every state law differs.
A constitution where even the police chief or govt will not be able to defend a Police man who kill extrajudicially etc.
A constitution where election will be free and fair and any politician who is caught committing election fraud will be dealt with and will be ban from ever participating in any election ( can vote but never be voted for) Politicians head go clear by force.

Bro when will restructure like this, our mindset will restructure too. no one will be blaming any region or state for it woos.

Is that your take?

I don't see any reason for a restructuring.

If regionalism was so perfect, what caused the country to go into a civil war?

Which constitution empowers a police Chief to defend an offending police officer?

Please, let's stop these unnecessary sensationalism.

How does states having their own Supreme Court affect the common citizen? Won't these courts still be hijacked by the states?

Governance is about accountability, transparency and rounded development.
