APC - More suffering!

If Fayose lacked adequate understanding of international politics, the Muhammadu Buhari is a dunce in both local and international politics. For since Buhari came into office, he has thrown the country into chaos and isolated Nigeria through his draconian activities. Today Nigerians are more divid d than ever and shunned internationally because of this government, Buhari has become a pariah among world leaders.

Na their problem.

Bishop Oyedepo has just seen the light. Biafra must be a reality, willy nilly, Gen. Buhari.

Afonja betraying another Afonja. Lekan betrays Sowore!

What's the difference between Commissioned Officer and non Commissioned Officer?

The OP should please give me the phone number of the architect that drew the plan. I have a 90ft by 150ft land to build similar building. Thanks

Busy bodies. The sitting room is clean and decent. What do you expect Mr. Otedola to put there, a Macpro Computer or iPhone 7. Old people have their ways of doing things. They like it that way. QED. On the side, what have you provided for your mom this Christmas? Finally, Femi may be spending million on his mothers healthcare and upkeep.

Ayo Peter Fayose is the most kind hearted Father Christmas unlike that very wicked and evil lanky man spreading hunger and deaths in the land.

Still protesting after the reversal, conc Osogbo Weed at work.

Looking for the effects of recession in Nigeria, look no further. You have recession starring you at face in that Buhari's pictures. That's recession personified!

And these mammoth number of people turned out to "look" at the construction work. Say no to joblessness.

Musa Lawal , stop cowardly afonjaism.

It's time to ask Prof. Wole Soyinka to step up to the plate and be a man by publicly tearing up his American Green Card. No room for long grammar. But he will not do that cause he's cowardly Afonja.

Afonjas exporting their evil products everywhere on earth.

Please after you visit Hollywood, try to visit San Fernando Valley to star in one or two adult movies to rub it in on the Kannywood hypocrites who wanted to confine you to the kitchen and bedroom. Those Imams must be told we are not in Stone Age.

Angry and vindictive midget!

Dullard learns English Literature.

The Daura Dullardd rewarding Afonjas for their unrivaled subservience and servitude!

Useless trash. This is a very old story with pics!

Sai Baba, Sai Baba!

This is a deliberate act against the Idoma nation. First the Buhari Libyans massacred the Idomas. Then they kidnapped and killed the first Idoma Catholic priest. Now another priest has been kidnapped. Folks, please read the handwriting on the wall.

Name Checkers Association has concluded its investigation and returned verdict as NORMAL.

Meanwhile. Jalekun Omitawoju Yisau and nine other defendants. Three others, former Director of Institute of Agriculture, Research and Training (IART), Professor Benjamin Olufemi Ogunbodede, Zaccheaus Tejumola and Adenose Clement who were charged alongside the convicts before Justice N. Ayo Emmanuel of the Federal High Court , Ibadan, Oyo State, maintained their “not guilty” plea.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Arrant nonsense from the OP.

The CBN policy is to effectively bring about a duo parallel rate at the official market.

This will lead to officially devaluing the naira and thus see a fall in the naira.

There will also be diversions of forex by those approved to source at the subsidised rate of 199 since why should I bother importing raw materials when I can simply sell the forex I get from the CBN at a subsidised rate at the black market?

This is just another foolish policy that will create avenue for quick money for those allowed to access forex.

The only solution is to float the damn naira already in an open bidding auction.

I think you're the one talking arrant nonsense.

1. What do you mean by "duo parallel rate at the official market". I know English Language is not your mother tongue. So I forgive you.

2. Of course Naira has been devalued because floating Naira means that the currency worth would be determined by the market. The market has always said that N197/$1 by the government was overvalued. The real value of Naira is what we would see from Monday.

3. There's no diversion. Those appointed by the government would sell dollar at market rate. There's nothing like N199/$1 again.

4. With this policy, you can't round trip or speculation is reduced.

5. Naira is already floated.

In as much as I'm a stern critic of Buhari administration, I applaud this monetary policy. Still I blame the government for waiting for 10 months before it's implement thereby wasting foreign reserves and engendering massive corruption. We should blame the Dullar.d himself. He said that he must be convinced before he would devalue Naira. Who now convinced him to float Naira. Maybe, his London doctors have successfully opened his blocked ears and he heard reasons for the first time.

Is it not the same Ooni that I met in a nightclub with Obafemi Martins and some babes in DC last weekend?

Amnesty accuses Nigerian army of killing at least 17 unarmed Biafran separatists

Fri Jun 10, 2016 12:01am GMT Print | Single Page
LAGOS, June 10 (Reuters) - Amnesty International said on Friday that Nigeria's army last month killed at least 17 unarmed members of a group calling for secession from Africa's most populous nation, but the military dismissed the allegations as unfounded.

An army spokesman said Amnesty's accusations, the latest in a series of allegations of impropriety levelled against Nigeria's military in the last year, revealed a bias that undermined its credibility.

Amnesty's report -- which it said was based on details from eyewitnesses, morgues and hospitals -- says soldiers opened fire on members of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) and their supporters in the southeastern city of Onitsha during the build up to a march in late May.

The human rights group said the killings took place during a security operation in the early hours of the morning shortly before the march when the military raided homes and a church where IPOB members slept.

The army issued a statement in which it said troops had to "resort to self defence" after IPOB members attacked security agencies with "firearms" and various weapons including dynamite.

It said five members of IPOB were killed, eight wounded while nine were arrested.

"These efforts were in order to de-escalate the palpable tension as well as ward off the apparent threats to lives and property in the general area," it said.

Secessionist feeling has simmered in the southeast since the Biafra separatist rebellion tipped Nigeria into a 1967-70 civil war that killed an estimated 1 million people.

It flared up again last year after IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu was arrested and detained on charges of criminal conspiracy and belonging to an illegal society. He remains in detention.

Amnesty said its investigation showed at least 17 people were killed and nearly 50 injured, adding that "the real number is likely to be higher".

"Information gathered by Amnesty International indicates that the deaths of supporters and members of IPOB was the consequence of excessive, and unnecessary use of force," said Amnesty, which urged the government to investigate.

The contents of the report were rejected by army spokesman Sani Usman. "The allegations are unfounded," he said.

The report is the latest in a series of accusations levelled at the army by Amnesty.

Last year, Amnesty said more than 8,000 people died in detention during a crackdown on Boko Haram and that soldiers killed hundreds of Shi'ite Muslims in the northern city of Zaria in December.

"Amnesty is losing credibility," added Usman, who accused the group of being biased against the army. (Reporting by Alexis Akwagyiram; Editing by Toby Chopra)
