The fools which you are bonafide member.

Why did you tell her to go to her state to contest while you want to do the same in another man state. Do you see how you are one of the fools.

Silly statement from an idiotic ninny. Where did she contest the senatorial seat, dingbat?

Nigeria which is the useless creation of British still standing today because the crude oil was not struck at the northern region of Nigeria.

NIGER STATE GOVERNMENT URGES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CONSIDER LANDMASS IN REVENUE SHARING

The Niger State Government is asking the federal government that landmass should be a consideration in the revenue sharing formula for the country.

The State Commissioner for Finance, Zakari Abubakar, disclosed this in an interview shortly after the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) led by its Federal Commissioner, Barrister Patrick Mgbebu Nworu, met with Governor Abubakar Sani Bello in a closed door meeting at the Government House, Minna.

Abubakar noted that the landmass of the state is the largest in the country with its topography having environmental challenges such as annual flooding, noting that the ecological fund for the State is not sufficient.

The Commissioner appealed that a certain percentage should be added to states that are challenged by environmental hazards.

He said the state is challenged by its size as opposed to the revenue that accrued to it, adding that if the landmass is considered, it will assist the state government to access and tackle the environmental challenges.

“In the consideration of the indices of revenue, the issue of landmass should be given a lot of weight", he said.

The Commissioner also pointed out that the number of Federal Roads criss-crossing the state is another issue that should be factored in the revenue sharing formula by the Federal Government.

The RMAFC Federal Commissioner, Barrister Nworu, said the commission members were in the state for advocacy and sensitization on revenue data and its management.

He said their mission in the state is also to get the stakeholders to know the value and the need to submit transparent as well as verifiable revenue data.

According to him, it is the commission’s mandate to formulate ways to allocate revenue from the federation account to the states and local governments.

I urge federal government of Nigeria to buzz off the business of revenue allocation and allow the states to manage whatever resources from the state. I know Niger State has massive landmass with uncountable mineral resources including crude oil.

you do not even want to know how many Ogoni died in the Biafran Concentration Camps the Biafran Soldiers forcefully deported them to after Shooting dead their leaders and accusing them of being Saboteurs it is well over the dead 4000 Ogoni you are arguing over here.

Elechi Amadi of Ikwerre the Annangs, Efik and the Ijaws reported exactly the same treatment at the hands of the Biafrans.

Read this account from a Niger Delta Chief

https://m.facebook.com/naijainfoman/posts/1139807712715827

Where were the Concentration Camps in Biafra? Did you refer to the same Elechi Amadi of Ikwerre who did not spend more than two months in Biafra when shooting war started? Elechi Amadi spend weeks in Ezebudele, Ukwa West LGA when the war started and sneaked into Nigeria when Port Harcourt fell into the hands of the Nigerian vandals. Maybe the peeps you mentioned in above post were talking about camps in Nigeria.

Only coward quotes a character who has never engage in mere wrestling match talk less a war. The so-called army chief does not have a boys company strategy to defeat an insurgent without a territory.

Almost all the over 300 ethnic group that makes up African most populous country Nigeria all have representatives in all countries of the world doing just fine politically, academically and financially on global scale without no noise

*Bianca Ojukwu a wife of APGA founder Ojukwu was denied senatorial ticket simply because she is from another Ibo state

* while countless Ibos have become state house of representatives members in Yoruba land and Commissioners , since 1999 20 years of democracy not a single Yoruba or Hausa man has held any elective office on Ibo soil


.

The above post makes Nigerians look and sound idiotic. There is no state in Nigeria where elective political positions are gifted to anybody. Ndigbo are known not be hero worshipers. Bianca Ojukwu, being the wife of late Emeka Ojukwu, does not qualify her to exclusive right on the senatorial seat of her state. This type of silly stream of thought had earned Nigeria the home of fools.

favor914:
Never heard anyone call Nigeria the basket of fools, that statement must have been specifically targeted at you, not Nigerians in general?

How could you have heard anything tangible about human nature when you have foolishly believed the crap about Chinese military prowess which surpassed that of USA? You are a live example of reason Nigeria is called basket of fools. By the way, which isle do you belong? I hate to cross words with a person I had to regret later.

CilicMarin:
Those are the ipob yoots supporting Trump....If Trump loses tomorrow, you would see them attacking America on daily basis. They did it under Obama they felt Obama supported Buhari.

They are the most deluded set of homo sapiens anywhere in the world.

Why are you concerned with IPOB instead of the subject matter of the thread? This is one of the reasons Nigeria is called the basket of fools.

IPOB are a bunch of low IQ, jobless youths. Believing the con-man Nnamdi Kanu that he will bring "Biafran Lefelendum" from UN in October! Go ahead and continue boycotting elections in your own state and keep waiting to vote in the Nnamdi Kanu "Lefelendum". But don't complain about the politicains you refused to help us change.

If election is held tomorrow, Nnamdi Kanu will deceive all of you to go and play futbol and eat ofe nsala, and NEVER to VOTE! As your Lefelendum election is just around the corner! What oxyM0r0ns!

All the anti-Biafra candidates are allowed easy victory as Governors and Senators. The very next day, if Police shoots you or you are unlawfully harrassed, they very first people you hope will come to your aid? ~ The Governors & Politicians!

The same people that Nnamdi Kanu deceived you that your boycott to allow the wrong people to become Governors was more meaningful than nominating an IPOB cordinator and voting him in as Governor! You guys are hilarious!

If you voted your IPOB cordiantor as Governor of Enugu state, do you think he would keep quiet while police and army gun you down for no provocation at Emene? ~ NO! He would speak and fight for your rights if an IPOB person was the Governor. But, Nnamdi Kanu told you to boycott political participation, therefore STOP expecting Igbo Governors or Politicians that you did not elect to fight for you!

You bloody IPOB cowards should learn to stand and fight like men, not always running away to look for one Igbo leader or another to blame online or on radio Biafra. You guys are pathetic!

Talk is very cheap!!! It is better to stand for something than to fall for everything. If you can arm the IPOB and, at least, show Nigeria you are not a basement coward as you would want us to believe, the IPOB could surprise you.

Joe Igbokwe is the classic case of the useful idiot of course he is ashamed of his agbepo (shitpacker) appointment. Ben Akabueze is a Tinubu boy but he respects himself and today he is Federal DG, Budget office

When you betray your own kind so recklessly and run your mouth like a bastard nobody can trust you. Yorubas don't trust him, Igbos can't stand him. His own townspeople in Nnewi think he's a clown and they don't respect him at all. In public gatherings in Uruagu, Nnewi where he is from, if Innoson, Ifeanyi Ubah and co come together, Joe Igbokwe dare not show his face there because they will shun him. He should stay in Lagos and be cleaning his gutter biko

Ndigbo can denigrate Yari.ba all we can but one thing about Yari.ba is that they are very cunning. Yari.ba can spur you to destroy your thing only to abandon you later. In fact, a useful idiot is an understatement.

Nine directors in the federal civil service have failed to scale through the first stage of re-sit examination conducted with a view to appointing new permanent secretaries, The PUNCH reports.

Out of the 23 directors that participated in the examination that took place on Monday, only 14 were shortlisted for the next round.

The PUNCH had reported exclusively on August 14, 2020 that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), approved that re-sit examination be conducted for 23 directors in the federal civil service with a view to appointing four among them as permanent secretaries.

The directors were among those who took part in the last exercise that led to the emergence of 12 permanent secretaries on June 16, 2020.

The 12 permanent secretaries were appointed out of the 16 approved by the President, therefore leaving four vacancies.

They had emerged from the list of 91 directors who participated in the second stage of the qualification examination and the 41 that took part in the final stage.

According to a circular by the Head of Service of the Federation, Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan, the President approved re-sit examination for directors who did not make the final list in June, but are from Kaduna, Kebbi, Rivers and Zamfara states.


In another circular dated August 31, a copy of which was obtained by our correspondent on Tuesday, Yemi-Esan disclosed that 14 of the 23 directors were successful and would be taking part in Information Communication Technology Test fixed for Wednesday (today).

It is from them that four new permanent secretaries, one each from Kaduna, Kebbi, Rivers and Zamfara states, will emerge.

MelesZenawi:
The protesters carried placards with inscriptions, inluding: ‘What we need is development, not secession.’ Together we stand, divided we fall.’ ‘Together we stand and love one another.’ ‘Believe in one Nigeria.’ ‘In one Nigeria we stand.’ ‘We are for unity, don’t beat the drum of war



Always afraid of staying alone.

I tire for these people..

Anything secession always give them goosebumps.

I really do not know when agitation for independence equates to war. These jackasses must understand the union as in Nigeria is not unity.

frankyychiji:
If you read between the lines, you will notice Joe is not very proud about the role he is given. But in the nature of Tinubu boys, he can't complain or reject it because that would spell doom for him, moreso when he's not an indigene.

His is role is a duplication of the role played by commissioner of works .

Joe Igbokwe provides easy avenue for Yari.ba peep to unload malice on Igbo. What an insult. You could not be more correct. Roads, drainage systems and many others fall under the management of commissioner for works.

This is a welcome development. Fulani people are trying. It's just their herdsmen who are causing problems for everybody and damaging the image of the good ones among them.

If the so-called developments were coming from Igbo people under a Nigerian government led by Igbo people, every dumb fool in the shithole called Nigeria would have been shouting Igbo domination all year long.

Among those that stole spots in history an African man, Kaycee Madu, an Igbo man that became the first black man to hold the position of Canada Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Alberta Province.
Kaycee Madu, whose real name is Kelechi Madu, was born in 1973 in Okrika Nweke, Ahiazu Mbaise Local Government Area, in Imo State, Nigeria. He graduated from the University of Lagos (Unilag) with a bachelor of law degree (LL. B)

Kaycee, a black immigrant and Canadian politician under the United Conservative Party moved to Canada and his wife, Emem. For her postgraduate studies at the University of Alberta... https://54history.com/the-first-black-man-to-become-canadian-minister-of-justice-and-attorney-general/

I hate the lack of intellect when people equates Africa to Black. What happened to the first African to hold the position of Canada Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Alberta Province? Kaycee Madu is an Igbo man and the son of the soil. He is not a descendent of slave and should not be referred as "Black".

"Splitting Nigeria" will not solve anything

The underlying problem is still gonna be there

It's that underlying problem we need to deal with

I really do not know what informed this deluded statement that "Splitting Nigeria will not solve anything". The underlying problem you alluded in the above post would disappear with Nigeria. There are too many nitwits in Nigeria who pass as compatriots that will readily vanish the moment Nigeria is disintegrated. Why would the NBA of my country even dream of extending invitation to a goon named El-Rufai for anything?

gtown:
Most of you like wallowing in delusion. It is true that the two regions have more number of lawyers than the north, but to say that they have best lawyers is self delusion. And to have added that north would regret splitting from the over grown for nothing NBA shows how uninformed you are in upstairs.
Do you know the best Law chamber in West Africa today is own by a lawyer from the north? If you don't know you can go verify this fact. We can't compete with the south in term of number but in qualities we are up to the task.
By the way, the splinter group is made up of not only lawyers from the north but across, even though nincompoop like you are all over giving it a northern agenda coloration.

What were the criteria used to determined the so-called "Best Law chamber in West Africa today is own by a lawyer from the north"? Without quota system, northern region would have countable number of lawyers on a human palm.

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has commissioned the Phase 1 of the Umuibe-Umuokereke--Ntighauzo-Ibeme Ring Road in Obingwa Local Government Area of the State completed by his government, Igbere TV reports.

Speaking while commissioning the project which is part of the statewide project inspection and commisioning tour tagged "Kinetic Abia", Governor Ikpeazu said the construction of the road was just the beginning of other road projects to be done around the area.

He further disclosed that the second phase of the road project would stretch to Akpaa and would be completed before December this year. He assured that the contractor would equally deliver quality work on the rural access road.

Also speaking, the Commissioner for Works, Dr. Bob Ogu assured the people of the area of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu's commitment to commence the second phase of the road which would terminate at Akpaa.

He stressed the need for the people to protect the road and assist the contractor to achieve government's goal of fixing it.

Earlier, the Transition Committee Chairman for Obingwa Local Government Area, Chief Kingsley Nnaji commended the Governor for constructing the road. He informed that the road cuts across the five wards of Agalaba clan in Obingwa LGA and expressed the hope that the second phase of the road would be expedited.

Meanwhile, Governor Ikpeazu has commissioned the second phase of the Umuene-Obikabia Road and unveiled the Ururuka statue installed at the Obikabia Roundabout constructed by his administration. Speaking while commissioning the project, the Governor described the road as strategic as it will boost economic activities around Aba and its environs including Isialangwa North & South areas of the State. According to the Governor, the road is now an alternative route to Aba and Umuahia.

The Deputy Governor, Sir Ude Oko Chukwu, while speaking at the event expressed joy that there is a significant positive change in the area and commended Governor Ikpeazu for putting smiles on the faces of Abians by fixing the road.

The Governor and his team also inspected other roads and projects including Egege Road in Aba. The tour is expected to continue tomorrow.

Joe Igbokwe, the Leader of Igbo Apc members in Lagos.

Is a gutter manager!!!! Yari.ba peeps know how to deal with dumbass such as Igbokwe. This fool could have been more gainfully employed in my compound without publicly denigrating his Igbo people than being a gutter boy.

This is open indicted of Nigeria and its armed forces. A retired soldier cannot pay his bill and evicted. This silly gesture by Burantashi is a dumb joke and attempt to deflect responsibility of the silly country called Nigeria.

There is one thing I like about certain characters from northern region of Nigeria in context with Nigeria. If they felt anything from Nigeria, including Nigeria itself, has stepped on their ego, they will plot to destroy the thing. The southerners will be trashed and packaged into a trash bin in Nigeria, yet they foolishly behaved like nothing has happened. There is one particular section in the southern Nigeria along with dummy minorities that guarantee this silly behavior from northern region of Nigeria. If these goofy northerners insist on forming another NBA simply because one goofy fool from northern region was uninvited, I urge every fool in Nigeria to accept the disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria. Enough is enough!!!

EASTSIDE is correct o
its hard to see an Anambra family in Imo state,in my hood akwakuma,there is only one Nnewi there and us,but here in Awada,obosi,one would be forgiven if he think hes in owerri


hmm

It is very hard to know or understand the age of certain posters on this forum. When Anambra State was created, there was acute shortage of qualified staffs in the state. The school system in Anambra State was at point of collapse. Civil servants and teachers were shipped to Anambra State to help during its formative years. I am not surprise to see more Imo State people in Anambra State than otherwise. Imo is Anambra is Abia is Enugu is Ebony.

EASTSIDAZ:
@ Abagoro, you must be insane. Anambra is the beginning and end of Igboland ..now go dive into Onitsha River Niger. Awka is a young state capital and its coming up strongly with the UN Habitat Masterplan. Its one city I have seen with modern edifices, cool and serene with boisterous hospitality in the recent time.

2/3 of imo state people are living and earning a living in Anambra state. 97% of investment owners at Onitsha Bridge Head drug mart are all people from imo state. You should be grateful that we harbored you lost ones. Go to Nnewi its the same story of imo people all over the place.

Its will shock you to know that no single ANAMBRAN family is living in the entire imo state.. But you ediots are all over Anambra making living, making money and enjoying freedom, unlike your place there is kidnapping and criminality from jobless youths.

It good to hear but a very ill-informed postulation.
