Tinubu is not in charge of the military.

He didn't order the military to fire at protesters.

Sanwo tried saving them by announcing a curfew but they refused to listen.

Sanwo-Olu and Tinubu tried saving them by ordering LCC to remove the security cameras and to switch off the floodlights and electronic billboards so that the darkness will provide good cover for the massacre they knew was about to take place?

The blood of those innocent youths killed at the well coordinated Lekki massacre will be on your head for justifying this tragedy. I weep for Nigeria

Kobicove:
These protesters derailed a long time ago...what is the justification for attacking private business concerns?

I'm surprised at how naive Nigerians can be. Didn't you see unmarked brand new land cruisers with men in suit ferrying paid thugs.to different parts of Abuja to burn and destroy cars and attack unarmed protesters?

Didn't you see this same attempt in Lagos few days ago at Alausa and some of them were caught and they mentioned the name of a certain Mile 12 fulani market association leader as the person who mobilised them?

Doesn't it look too curious to you that the protest which was completely peaceful and orderly all over the country for almost 2 weeks, should all of a sudden in one evening in Jos, Lapai in Niger State, Kano, Benin, and Abuja would be simultaneously disrupted by paid thugs?

There was no protesters at any of those banks. Fulani okada riders and scrap metal collectors, and mai-guards who all reside in the Lekki and Victoria island area were mobilised in a well coordinated attack to burn those magnificent bank buildings to create the impression that the protest has turned violent. This is to justify government determination to forcefully put down the protest.

Please grow some sense.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/10/fsars-reforms-guilty-officers-arrested-set-to-face-disciplinary-action/

A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba said the IGP reiterated that some of the officers who have been found to be unruly and unprofessional in their dealings with the citizens, particularly the youth, have been arrested and are already facing disciplinary actions.

1. You only arrested "some of the officers". How about the remaining ones?

2. You only arrested those found to be unruly, how about those who committed murder and killings. Abi unruly is a more serious crime than murder?

3. Why not publish the names of those officers arrested? Better still why not parade them? After all if police arrest people who went clubbing, or who who stole somebody's goat, or engage in Yahoo Yahoo, they usually parade them

The courtesy call to the IGP by the minister and everything both of them said are all arranged to deceive the public as usual. It's all part of Buhari government's policy of lying to Nigerians.

Nobody has been arrested. SARS and all their criminal activities will not stop. Tomorrow, you will still read another sad news of people being killed and extorted by these crooks with AK-47

SmartProf:
It doesn't matter as long as they are still following themselves physically. Is Instagram now their marital home?

Exactly!! As long as they are following each other in zi oza room, there is no cause for alarm

jrusky:
I swear bro these liars are legend. I never knew Nigerian could lie these much till Buhari came to power that those liars you mentioned above started raising their ugly heads.

Its a big shame.

I wonder how a man can claim to be upright and Incorruptible, but relishes the company of liers, and never ever prosecutes or sacks anybody close to him who steals public funds.

Show me your friends, and I will show you who you are.

Hunchogee:
The right question shoukd have been, what factory do we have in the whole of calabar, since the rest of that cross river state is dead and ruined?

Everyone can now see why nobody should take some of these ignorant internet trolls who have never left the backwaters of thier villages seriously.

In your ignorance, a full grown Nigerian in year 2020 who doesn't know that Akwa Ibom is not in Cross River State, and that Calabar in not capital of Akwa Ibom. I'm ashamed of you, and I feel sorry for Nigeria

Abeg, don't quote me again, cause I will just ignore you. I thought I engaging an enlightened fellow

backtalkG:
Misplaced priority

Please show us the properly placed priority of your own state, so others can celebrate with you.

Don't allow hate and jealousy to kill you ooo

You have not controverted any of the facts I stated about specific roads in the town, instead you are feeding us tales of where you and your sister live.

Pulling down valiant efforts of other people's state because of pain and hate.

Oya post pictures of what your own governor is building in your own state, so we can compare. If you don't have any, then don't quote me either.

Angelacruz:
I live in uyo while my sister live in eket.I have been to eket countless time.I bet u dont even know where Eket is but i will ignore you.My last mention

Angelacruz:
U are right.Eket roads are very bad

You are a lier from the pit of hell. Sitting down in NL to type falsehood. A town you don't know and have never visited. Eket has some of the best intra-city and inter-LGA roads. The roads linking neighbouring Onna, Oron, and Ibeno/Esit Eket LGAs are 100x better than what most state capitals can boast off. These roads have no single pot holes. Take a trip and cure your hate and pain.

Sometimes you can feel the pain and jealousy when people compare the pathetic nature of thier villages and how badly thier own governor is performing. When they see top class infrastructure and strides in another state, they start throwing stones.

Your bad belle will not change or reverse the giant strides Gov Udom Emmanuel is making in his state. Channel your hate to your own governor

Bonatheripper:
Looks like primary school stadium in Abuja or Kano


Hahahahah

I can feel your pain. Kpele.

Please give us the name of the primary school (government or private) in Kano and Abuja that has this kind of edifice, we all join you to celebrate.

Can Kano build this kind of structure when the governor, Ganduje has converted the state's allocation to dollars and stuffed bundles of dollars into his agbada? Shameless people

Iyoocartel:
Iyooooooo cartel

See how beautiful it's looking in pictures, if you go there physically now you'll see cows (number 1 citizens) being trained there.

Have you been there? A stadium that is still under construction. Perhaps you saw the cows in your dreams, or you are referring to Abuja National stadium or the ones in Kano and Katsina which have been shamefully converted to grazing reserves.

FarahAideed:
What does Eket need a 17 thousand stadium for when there is a huge one wasting in Uyo .. .? Instead of using the money to open up roads and bring pipeborne water

You are not in Eket to know what the people need. To the best of my knowledge, I have not seen or heard of one single man from Eket complaining about this project. You cannot feel the pinch in a shoe worn by another man.

In the North, governors spend thier resource to construct huge mosques and sponsor thier people to Mecca, whilst there are no schools, hospitals, roads or industries. And the people like it like that. To every Mallam, his kettle.

Learn to appreciate good things from another State so that hopefully, good things can also happen in your own state

In Nigeria, the only entity allowed to commit crimes is government. The only organization permitted to break the law is law enforcement agencies.

Are you surprised that we are retrogressing rather than progressing as a nation? The pace of retrogression has significantly accelerated in the last 6 years

SLAP44:
Witch hunting exercise.

Is it not in this same country that the government gave several trailers of expired rice to many south west states to eat? Till today, nobody has sealed the federal government and no government staff has been arrested since then.

jrusky:
Reading new thing today about the fatty chin bulldog looking Garba Shehu was once a paid liar under past government.

No wonder he is a unrepentant liar machine. Very interesting!

One very striking character of this govt is thier deliberate policy of recruiting professional liars to deceive and churn out propaganda on the people. From Lauretta Onochie, to Femi Adesina, to Lai Mohammed, to Shehu Garba...... The list seems endless

Righteousness89:
Reno!! Reno!!
Hahahaha hahahaha..


One Reason I love Reno is His Detailed Presentation of Facts.

You Hardly Hear Reno speak without Tangible Record to Show..

Hate Him or Love Him, you have to Respect that aspect of Reno..

One solid strength of any defender of truth is facts and historical consistency.

By the same token, the biggest weakness, and the most debilitating factor that Nigerian ruling political class capitalize on to perpetrate horrible leadership and misrule on the country is the short memory of the people.

Even atrocities perpetrated by this same Buhari govt just last year have all been forgotten by Nigerians. Does it surprise anyone that El-Rufai, and Garba Shehu were PDP sympathizers serving and defending OBJ govt with thier lives. Now they claim all the atrocities we are witnessing under Buhari's govt was actually perpetrated by a govt they were active participants. Key actors of this govt are really shameless

Arrewa:
God bless our northern Governors!

Modernization of Almajiri school is the best thing to ever happen to the north!

These children now have a future!

Among them we have future public officers!

Among them we have future leaders!

The north is gradually heading to the right direction!

Why must the focus of Northerners always be on the bolded. Their highest aspiration is always to land govt job, sit in government offices, drive govt cars, live in govt houses, go for treatment abroad on govt expense, etc.

Why not such aspiration like producing future engineers, medical doctor, lawyers, finance experts, biochemists, pharmacists, research scientists, entrepreneurs, etc. Their worldview always begins and ends on dependence on govt. When they call them parasites, they will protest, but they are admitting it with their own mouth.

These ones that are overgrown with weeds and the walls are cracking already? Are those structures really new? If yes, Why are the walls cracking so much? Where are the students?

Me I have learnt to take anything put out by Ganduje and Buhari's govt with a healthy dose of scepticism, because of their love for spewing lies and deception. They just went to one existing primary school to take pictures after school has closed to deceive us as usual.

If they truly built and started new almajiri schools, they will be very proud to show us the children in class. After all, they have thousands of Almajiris that they deported among all the Northern states during outbreak of Covid-19 earlier this year.

Why build new ones anyway, (if they are really new)? Why not simply reactivate the better equipped almajiri schools that Goodluck Jonathan built for them? GEJ's almajiri schools had real students complete with free uniforms, books, and computers. It is the same Northern governors and thier so-called leaders who discouraged thier people from attending those schools, since it is against their culture

Please don't disturb Buhari with such trivial things like stretcher and ambulance. The man is busy with more important things like building a $1.9 billion railway to his ancenstral village in Maradi, Niger Republic

Enjoy the change you all voted for. Una never see something

HeadShot:
Buhari Nigeria...

Disaster everywhere

Where's the ambulance... With all the billions earmarked for healthcare annually.. they placed him on the carton treeking to a clinic...

When Yusuf buhari is using helicopters to cruise round Abuja...

Useless country
Tinubu and his Yoruba Muslims will be chanting sai barber all because of a phantom 2023

Who has ever heard of this voodoo Kano-Katsina-Maradi Corridor Master Plan, which didn't exist until Buhari took office in 2015?

Minister for Transport, Rotimi Amaechi gave one set of justification yesterday. Garba Shehu has come out today to give a different set. You people can keep lying to yourselves.

Aba and Onitsha alone generate over 100 times more import/export economic volume than the entire Niger Republic. And they pay thier import duty unlike Niger that always asks for huge duty waivers. Why is Buhari's govt not rushing to construct railway to those places if leveraging economic gain is the motive?

International trade indeed. How much goods does poor landlocked Niger Republic import that we should go and borrow $1.9b to build railway deep into thier country?

A poor drought ravaged country that depends on Nigeria 100% for fuel and free electricity. Can you show us the section of that railway in Niger that Niger has spent thier own money to build?

Who doesn't know that Buhari is just spending Nigerian money to help his kith and kin in his ancenstral village of Maradi?

Have you forgotten that officials from Maradi came to join Buhari in his 2015 election campaign?

You cannot efficiently evacuate goods to towns and cities your country by importers in Benin, Makurdi, Jos, Aba, Onitsha, Bauchi, Maiduguri, etc, yet you are rushing to spend heavily to help a foreign country.

If $1.9billion was invested in internal rail system within Nigeria, or in building primary and secondary schools and in Northern Nigeria, would that not solve the embarrassing almajiri and out of school children begging in traffic in Abuja, Lagos and all over Nigeria?

Arrewa:
The obvious economic rationale is to encourage Niger to make Apapa port its main port for import/export using Lagos - Kano Rail line.

Whoever has the most efficient Rail System to deliver move goods and services between the targeted countries and the Atlantic Ocean takes the biggest pie of International trade from them.

ikorodureporta:
Do they even have the raw materials to produce those things??
Focusing on their availability wl b better, like using Palm fronds for broom, mats, oil etc

The best raw material for making toothpick and pencil is bamboo. Bamboo grows naturally in the wild throughout the entire Southern Nigeria. You can also use gmelina or any softwood. Gmelina forest thrives in the huge forest stretch from Edo through Ondo and also in Cross River State

You should ask them of the status of Lekki-Epe Expressway and Lagos-Badagry expressway. Both have been abandoned by Bola Tinubu's construction company, Hitech

sevenhundred:
they are complaining because, this just another sakamaje project that can never see the light of the day, money already gone, 5years after where is Lagos - ibadan rail?

Kano-Niger Republic rail line: PDP, CSOs, others attack FG as FEC approves $1.96bn project
‌
• 248-km rail to link Kano, Katsina, Jigawa states to Maradi, Niger Republic

The Federal Government on Wednesday approved a $1,959,744,723.71 contract for a rail line that would link Nigeria to Niger Republic.

The approval was given at a meeting of the Federal Executive Council presided over by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, told State House correspondents at the end of the meeting that the money approved for the development of the proposed rail line linking Kano-Dutse-Katsina-Jibia and to Maradi in Niger Republic was inclusive of Value Added Tax.

The rail line is designed to connect three Northern states – Kano, Katsina and Jigawa states – as well as seven senatorial districts.

The 248-kilometre line is expected to aid the transportation of crude oil to Niger Republic.

But the opposition Peoples Democratic Party and some civil rights groups took a swipe at the Buhari regime, saying the project was a misplacement of priority in a country facing intractable problems of insecurity and harsh economic conditions arising from hikes in fuel price and electricity tariff.

Besides the rail project, Amaechi disclosed the council also approved the award of contract worth N3.049bn for the design, manufacture, supply, testing and inauguration of one railway crane for the purposes of clearing rail tracks during accidents.

ikorodureporta:
pencil, toothpick factory

It seems strange to you that a state government will try to manufacture such basic things rather than continue to import from China abi?

Your minister for science and technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu promised those things in 2015 to win election, so far they have not been able to build anything, not even toilet paper manufacturing factory

Vulcanheph:
Whoever you are please save your strength and stop Arguin with Zombies....

I'm just tired of the twisted thinking of these people. Are they blind or so thoroughly brainwashed that they can't see the damage these people are doing to the country?

Golan007:
What did PDP give you for 16 years?

Shameless people.

And what has APC given you apart from poverty capital of the world, huge suffocating loans, multiple fuel price increases, electricity tariff hikes, VAT increases, POS transaction levy of N50, bank transfer fee hikes, waterways appropriation, land seizures under false pretense of cattle colony and RUGA, levies of every description, galloping inflation, highest unemployment rate in history of Nigeria, kidnappings, herdsmen killings, nepotism, unbridled corruption and stuffing of babanriga with bundles of dollar notes which was defended by Buhari, etc, etc?

And they have managed to achieve all these in just 6 short years.

You and all those who defend this monumental failure in governance are truly shameless.

So they have Hisbah (State Police) that can arrest people instead of Nigerian Police. However, in the South, they said Amotekun and IPOB cannot operate. Even ordinary vigilante, they are afraid

Why must Nigeria take huge loans to finance the section that terminates at Buhari's ancenstral home in Maradi? Why can't Niger Republic finance the section that runs through thier own country?

Rosskii:
Use your fcking head. The line runs through Nigeria 99.9% and only happens to terminate at a stop in Niger.

Are you aware there are intra-continental rail network lines outlined by the AU which should see every African nation connected by rail by 2040 or thereabouts?

This is what happens when you dumb idiots don't read or research anything, and only limit yourselves to useless and stupid ethnic battles and hatred.

If it wasn't clear before that Buhari has more affinity with his kith and kin in Maradi, Niger Republic, this is another proof.

He is taking $1.9 billion chinese loan to construct rail line to a poor landlocked country where his ancenstral home is. The rest of the country will be saddled with the pain of repaying this loan for generations to come. You can now understand why officials from Maradi came to campaign with him during the last election.

What is the economic value of Maradi to Nigeria, when there is no rail link between Aba-Port Harcourt-Benin-Lagos? When will Southerners wake up and remove the scales from thier eyes?

The 24hr electricity Niger republic is getting from PHCN they are not paying a kobo for it. What kind of country is this?

Vulcanheph:
I just hope this is fake news.....

It's not fake news. It's was on TVC news this evening. It was one of the decisions of FEC meeting today presided over by Buhari. See picture below

Ugaboy:
Hope they wont abandon it

That only happens in Lagos where Tinubu's company Hitech is the sole contractor for all road projects.

Hi-Tech has effectively abandoned Lekki-Epe Expressway project started over 16 years ago under Fashola administration.

Rivers is not Lagos!!
