where are the lies? U guys are dunces...

Did it even take up to six months before the improvements in power supply in the country?

In the history of Nigeria, we peaked at more than 5k mw. Now. Is it his fault that your primitive clan is blowing up pipes that supply to the plants?

Are you guys deliberately dumb or just naturally stupid?

Adaure4ever:
so I have beaten you blue and black in your other profile "Oboy3" so you signed in with this one.
1. Before the white man came, Arochukwu Confederacy was very influential and powerful in the whole lower niger area, it is documented.. No ijaw mushroom kingdom was influential.
2. Before the white man came, there were people who beared the name Igbo in their names and villages like Igboukwu, Igbouzo, Akwuku Igbo, Igboeze, Aro-okeIgbo etc
is there any pre-colonial ijaw village that beared the name ijaw in it.
That means that your mushroom ijaw tribe is a pure colonial creation.. Everyone knows that.
3. In achievements, you people should go and compete with the Urhobos, Itsekili,
We are Not your mates pls in any ranking.
4. Even today, Obi of Onitsha, Igwe of Nnewi, Eze Nri, Asagba of Asaba, Ezearo of Arochukwu etc Are more popular and respected than Any ijaw mushroom monarch.
Is there any popular ijaw king in Nigeria? NONE, Mr minority.
5. Igbos had an ancient Igboukwu civilization, second oldest in Nigeria, is there any ijaw civilization known? NONE.
6. We are not your mates pls.. Shoe get size, go and look for ur size.. Even in the next 100yrs, you people will still be a minority tribe that exist in a poverty stricken creek.
I do not hate your ijaw tribe, hate is not in me for God is love but you guys are taught to hate Igbos during childhood and I will never give you that platform.

Adaure4ever:
so this is how little your pathetic i.q is?
Slave trade happened in almost all africa, the fathers/mothers of the yorubas slave descendants in brazil were taken from Nigeria.
2) Igbos or Ibos or Igbos have been mentioned many times before the colonizers came, e.g Oluduah Equinoh biography work.. There is no mention of ijaw in any precolonial article.
3) Arochukwu, Nri, Nnewi, Onitcha practised monarchy before the white man came but the rest of the Igbo clans praticed a Republican style with an Age grades system.
4) Igbo influence is felt outside Nigeria and Africa but ijaw begin and end in the poverty stricken creeks..
Igbo-ukwu is the second oldest civilazation in Nigeria, is there any well know ijaw civilization?NONE
5) we are proud that indirect rule failed in Igbo land, many wars of resistance against the british was from Igbo land.
6) even today, Obi of Onitcha, Igwe Of Nnewi, Ezearo of Arochukwu and Asagba of Asaba are more influential, respected and popular than any Ijaw mushroom monarchs..
Don't drag me back to this ur dumb thread. Thank me for a little lesson i just taught you.

Ariani:
Coolscott at it again.

Anyway, no one ever said that Igbani is Igbo language.

We know Igbani as the minority language spoken in Bonny villages by Ijaw people there, and Ubani Igbo as the Igbo language spoken by Igbo descendants who inhabit mainly Bonny township.

Many knew the last government for being corrupt and doubted their promise to save the amount of money to be realiazed from not paying subsidy. Those that fell in this category were not disappointed when SURE-P could not give an account of over 500 billion before the Senate. The Ribadu Committee was set up to look into oil marketers that got subsidy claim but diverted their imports or didn't import petroleum products at all, did the report see the light of the day?

And fashola, amaechi, used private funds for APC campaigns. Not to mention fayemi okorocha aregbesola and co. God will judge you severely. This is my prayer this morning. God almighty will punish you for posting false statements to mislead the public. The hunger pangs been felt in Osun Ekiti Imo Rivers may they haunt you. Both APC and PDP looted this nation with reckless abandon.

OrlandoOwoh:
I've come to realize that GEJ/PDP supporters have not come up with any reason, whether plausible or otherwise, why the removal of subsidy, as they're wont to make us believe, is wrong. Their only objection is because when GEJ attempted it in 2012, it's resisted. Na wa for una o.

I Voted Buhari And Even Made Sure Everybody Around Me Do The Same, But I'm Getting Disillusioned Now.

But Was There Really A Better Candidate?

We have every right to be angry over the herdsmen attacking issue.

On the subsidy issue, subsidies in themselves are not bad. In fact many countries use subsidies to give competitive advantages to their businesses. Countries such as the USA subsidise agricultural products and solar products and European countries subsidise production of chocolate, saving thousands of jobs locally.

In nigeria's case, managing our subsidy program is difficult because of corruption. It is the government's duty to fight this corruption and not throw the baby away with the bath water.

The situation during GEJ's and Buhari's tenure differs because of the fall in the price of crude. The main reason we have fuel queues is because we have no dollars to import petrol. Buhari is doing all he can to prevent a complete collapse of the naira, a situation GEJ never faced. If GEJ had focused on either saving or building refineries, rather than on populist programs such as sure-p and youwin, we wouldn't be in this mess today.

Buhari has chosen the lesser of two evils (from the nigerian perspective). He had the choice of firing government workers or removing subsidies to reducate the overall pressure on the naira. He chose to remove subsidies.

Will this policy be sufficient? no one can tell.

Will Buhari still have to fire workers to save the naira? Time will surely tell.

Why western countries always demand that countries stop subsidies on petrol is to reduce the amount of petrol been purchased globally, which will in turn lead to a reduction in prices of petrol in such countries domestically. Such countries are simply being self interested.
