SLAP44:
They were attacking someone who is singing against the insecurity?

How did we end up in the same country with these people?

The attackers knew what they were doing. Singer sang about insecurity and at the same criticized the dullard from Daura. The criticisms of mostly individuals from the north and APC did not sit well with the youths.

Dreamers.

They are most of the times the winners. In fact, they are better than backstabbers.

I guess the "Group of Igbos, Ndigbo Lagos(the umbrella body of the Igbo nationality groups)" could not be more correct. Ohanaeze Ndigbo is the world wide umbrella of the Ndigbo from all the geopolitical zone. However southeast geopolitical zone is different entity in the Nigeria's political color.

I will never vote this guy if he runs for any office in future. He tends to act before he thinks most of the time and he leans more toward totalitarianism than democracy. He is full of him sill self.

I am not very much sold on Oil and Gas thing in Nigeria. Nigerians tend to over talk about crude oil while overlook other areas which could be better than oil and Gas industries in future.

The only way peace and harmony can be restored among ethnic nationalities in Nigeria is through disintegration of shithole called Nigeria. The aforementioned disintegration will allowed diplomatic factors to set the standard of interactions among the nationalities. Nobody shall be forced to abode in country on the pretense of citizenship.

For the thread to be captioned El Rufia as the "Undisputed champion of the north" is a considerable insult not only to northern region of Nigeria but all champions of dog catchers. Bearing idiotic quote system introduced in the shithole called Nigeria, the stiffs such as El Eufia and Muhammadu Buhari would not have made a headline in a local newspaper.

How come the Federal Government, through the military took just one day to defeat Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Afara Ukwu, a community in Abia State but for years has been unable to capture Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau?

There is a difference between unarmed peaceful agitators and well armed terrorist. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB were unarmed and peaceful while Abubakar Shekau and Boko Haram are well armed terrorist group. In addition, the places of agitation are valued differently by the federal government.

I will never understand a colonel taking over the government ahead of a brigadier general... madness shaa

Once you reached the rank of General in the military, you have become a politician. In addition, the coup or successful coup does not follow the doctrine of chain of command.

NnadyAutos:
The worst civilian rule is better than the best military rule.

Absolute nonsensical. The most expensive and useless government in Nigerian history has been the democracy. The present government in Nigeria spend all the funds on everybody to the level of SAs in every category of the government. The federal level alone is bigger than the university while state level is dwarfs good functional secondary school in capacity. Yet the fundamental rights of citizens are very scarce as in the military regime. At least, on the maintenance sake I had taken military regime over this present government of Nigeria.

Akwa Ibom is the 5th highest producer of oil and gas in Africa & also the 3rd biggest GDP in Nigeria after Lagos and Abuja. So imagine if AKS was to be a country of its own..
Just like Lagos is the 5th biggest GDP in Africa..
Is no longer a secret that Nigeria and most African countries economy heavily depends on Crude oil sells..

According to Wikipedia..
Top 10 Highest producers of oil and gas in Africa..
1. Nigeria.... 1.9m BPD
2. Angola.... 1.7m BPD
3. Algeria..... 1.3m BPD
4. Lybia...... 1m BPD
5. Akwa Abasi Ibom kingdom.... 504k BPD
6. Egypt.... 490k BPD
7. Republic of Congo.. 308k BPD
8. Sudan...... 255k BPD
9. Equatorial guinea.... 227k BPD
10. Gabon.... 210k BPD..

With this ranking Akwa Ibom state, if allow the function like a country will even be richer than countries like Ghana, Gabon etc..
Note : Akwa Abasi Ibom kingdom and Lagos will arguably be among the Top ten biggest economy / richest countries in Africa, if they were to be a country of it own...

Lalasticlala, mynd44, seun we are waiting for you...

The bolded indicated some elements of delusion on the part of the poster. There was nothing such as Akwa Ibom before the state was created talk less a kingdom.

isthatso:
Democracy does not work in Black Africa because our levels of education and ENLIGTENMENT are not high enough to overcome the psychological burdens of religion, poverty, cultural and the tribal prejudices that overwhelm our thought process/actions and the pysche of the masses. In a democracy, the masses are the ones who vote and determine outcomes. Even in enligtened countries the masses are gullible, talk less of a country whose masses are encumbered by the issues Ihighlighted above. Can such a people ever deliver good leaders? NO!

Show me a truly functioning black democratic country...in Africa.

Please be informed that Africa is not Black Africa and there is nothing such as Black Africa. I beg to ask you what education and enlightenment are you on about in the above post. I guess one of the problems that besieged Africa is what you conjured to be education and enlightenment.

kikero:


It does not work like that.

We did that in 1966, and 1983, and seven years later, we had new looters in charge each time.

Go and join a party, or form one and be the change you seek. Army rule is an ill wind that blows no good.

In 1966, most Nigerians did follow through to ideological change pursued by the boys. Instead, some goons pushed the shithole called Nigeria into the slippery path of abyss.

The first guy is just 25 years old. I stand to be corrected thou

It is not possible to be a Colonel in any army at 25 years of age.

Temibi:
By Obafemi Babajide

As Nigerians go through the pang of lockdown, with little or no palliatives in some area and no monetary compensations all over; and with a President and Commander-In-Chief of Armed Forces who is widely adjudged as upright and stern when it comes to matters of corruption; in fact, his negative dispositions to corruption had largely won him the sobriquet; Mr Integrity [mai gaskiya] among his people.

But in the face of this dwindling economy and serious hardship with a possibility of depression in the economy setting in which is currently facing the citizens of the Nation, it became pertinent to ask, if it takes only integrity to rule Nigeria and get the economy working again?

In 2015, when corruption in Nigeria became so endemic, so thick that it could cut through a piece of ice, a different coalition of aggrieved politicians came up with the idea of merging up. They collapsed structures to form a formidable team that could beat the best of existing political structure. Although they flew together, they were birds of different colours. It was crystal clear that, as many add predicted it, things were soon going to fall apart. And fall it did after they had gained power.

To many Nigerians, it started looking as if they had made the wrong choice in voting a septuagenarian. The General looked as if he had lost his steam to age and those cabals who surround him, power play, deals and who gets what when and how watered down peoples expectations of the new government.

To many, six months without coming up with the names of his cabinet was enough to adjudge Buhari as not serious. Would we have expected him to bring down the host of heaven to rule with him? Certainly not!

The list of those who made it eventually to PMB’s cabinet, to many Nigerians was not worth the wait. Except for just very few names who had shown brightly before and very few who could be termed technocrats, nothing was new. As a matter of fact, it was a list of names people had expected to make the list. So, why the long wait after all?

The General won his second term bid albeit a not too free fair or robust election, this time around, the integrity mantra was although played again, it was not as captivating as it was in 2015. Nigerians wanted more than integrity, they wanted the country to work, they wanted ease, which was not going to come easily anyways.

With the current in house wrangling, power tussle and inanities, one might take a guess that aside taming corruption, the man at the helms of affairs might have nothing much doing with the economy. In actual fact, with the hustle for 2023 being played so much in the open, the fight against corruption might just be forgotten so soon.

Goodluck Jonathan was sent out of power on the altar of the huge corrupt practices going on under him and also, that he was too soft and indecisive; he was also seen as leaving major decisions to the hands of the three women [two in his life and one in his cabinet], to make huge decisions. But with this niggling economy of the Nation and some flashes of corruptions, does it not look as if a dog was given a bad name in other to hang it?

In truth and fairness, one could still see rays of hope through a few progressive ministers working to deliver on the mandate of the portfolios given to them. A lot of those remaining, however, are square pegs in round holes. 

It is now too obvious that, although we needed an incorruptible leader who will be fair to all, we also need someone who is fairly tuned to the trappings of the present social-economic movements and issues. Someone who understands the jet age language, someone who could easily sway, someone who could process information swiftly, set the balls rolling and proffer a quick response to yearnings and aspirations.

With the biting lockdown and no solution in sight as to when the economy will come up again; it is crystal clear that integrity alone will not deliver good governance, administrative savviness, a swift but bendable leader with an updated and upgradeable administrative capacity will do. Nigeria’s problem is not only corruption, there is a huge deficit in leadership and followership. We need a total overhaul, we need to look deeply inward, and we need a leader who can manage both the corrupt, the incorruptible and those at the verge of becoming corrupt.

Obafemi writes from the top of "Akogba" hill in Ekinrin-Adde

Obafemi Babajide and people who remotely tagged the dope called Muhmmandu Buahri a Mr Integrity [mai gaskiya] are dingbats. Only a fool did not know that Muhammadu Buhari was a product of corruption. He joined army under shrouded circumstance hence nepotistic tendency. A hyena can simply not change its spot.

Graxie:
This senior army officers just dey use the juniors as scale goat for money.

They hardly see junior officers as human beings.

Enenche will soon come out to release a statement claiming the man deserves to die.

It's not about the Nigeria army; it's happening all over the world; humanity is gone.

Do you know what it meant to be a soldier? I wonder how he escaped with his life. In a thick of battle especially to retrieve the bodies of fallen comrades, a combatant still has the effrontery to question his\her commanding officer. He should have been shot on the marshal ground. He triggered a mutiny with a dumb question. Military is not meant for cowards.

When any Nigerian writes and it includes crap such as Hausa-Fulani as ethnic group, I immediately stop reading the junk. If a dumbass writer cannot figure out there is no ethnicity in Nigeria such as Hausa-Fulani, how would he/she know the facts to transmit?

Imjustagirl:
This story funny sha. I laff taya. Former Governor now a yahoo yahoo. Scamming women upandan

Most of the governors and so-called leaders in Nigeria came from yahoo yahoo. Have seen any of them go back to their profession after their term ended?

godofuck231:
it's been on for ages, these women are on guard watch for fuckedup hajis trying to score 100 virgins in heaven, in most cases these milfs do the killing and send them to he'll, their sniper units are so deaf that it makes the men feel cheap, don't Bleep with them!

You are spot on, bro.

Gjrich:
Culture is different in many places,what is acceptable in your county may be an abomination when you get to another country.
This is the case with the people of Isreal as it is the only country where women are allowed to walk around with M16 Assault rifle.

Located in the Middle Eastern country on the Mediterranean Sea, Isreal is regarded by most people ranging from Jews, Christians and Muslims as the Holy Land because of its biblical background. Some holy sites are located in Jerusalem. Isreal is a country with many biblical background, and they are said to be loved by God.

Every Israeli whether male or female is enlisted in the military for at least one year, just like NYSC in Nigeria. They are all trained to handle weapons. .


Recently, pictures of Isreal women surfaced online where they walk around with M16 assault rifle, and this spark a lot of outrage and reactions from social media users.

Here are some of the reactions

A Twitter user who goes by the name OnyangoOngoya said “The most paranoid people in the whole world. A thief or criminal is always worried their victims might pay back”

View pictures in App save up to 80% data.

Another Twitter user who goes by the name Daddy Lewa said “If the women could carry rifles around like this, then what do u think the men will be carrying? Lol pls”

The bolded is completely nonsensical crap. A thief or criminal is not worried their victims pay backs rather their victims worry about repeated robbery.

This doesn't validate what you wrote.

Not everyone carries weapon about. Don't misinform people!

Do not mind the lazy Africans with skewed stream of thought.

asha9:
Is it not Imo state? Count me out of Biafra if Imo state will be part of it. Imo state is such a cursed backward shithole state. Nothing is working in that state.

Imolites are rude, uncouth, barbaric etc. so what they have just done is not new to them.

Imo women are prostitutes, Imo men are useless and worthless. They mostly engage in armed robbery and kidnapping, no wonder Imo state is the state with the least employment opportunities in Nigeria. Evilforest, your attention needed fast.

If Imo State women are the same as women in Nigeria and are prostitutes, then your mother as a woman from Nigeria is a P…. By the same token, if Imo men are useless and worthless as you posited, then men all over Nigeria are useless and worthless including your F…..

Jeromejnr:
Don't mind those snowflakes. They are the ones responsible for dividing America yet they put the blame on Trump.

I want to see their reactions in November when he wins.

The same moronic dingbats who shout Trump is dividing us will turn around and say I am black or white. The phrase, black and white, which streamed out of slavery remains the most divisible factor in USA. Some fools in USA will embrace being colored and yet forgot that "White" is a color. The idiocy of the so-called "blacks" in USA does not have a boundary. The straits of this idiocy can be seen in Africa where virtues give way to stupidity.

tamdun:
With the political world focused on the Democratic convention Monday night, President Trump looked to steal some of the limelight by saying that he will seek a third term if he wins reelection.

During a rally in Wisconsin, the president lied to a cheering crowd, telling them that he deserves eight additional years in office because, he falsely claimed, his campaign was spied on in 2016—an assertion his own FBI refuted in a detailed report.

“We are going to win four more years,” Trump said. “And then after that, we’ll go for another four years because they spied on my campaign. We should get a redo of four years.”

But Trump has one problem: the Constitution. The 22nd Amendment says, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”

How did Trump lie to the cheering crowd?

Africans are most idiotic creatures on earth. The silly attitude of most people from RSA on the issue of authorities in Ghana and Nigerian shop owners is one of the reasons I had rubbished the crap "Black Lives Matter". The whole shenanigan is idiotic because no human being is either black or white. Black is one thing on a color chart and cannot be a human. It is unfortunate that most Africans do not have brain power. Africans tend to allow silly frivolity to dominate their psychological egoism. How can Africans ever emerge from socio-politico-economic doldrum to challenge Europeans, Americans and Asians with the stream of thought exorbitated on this post and in Ghana?

ORIENTATION101:
political party is qualified for election.so inec have no power to disqualify their party

Please can you detail the functions and powers of INEC?

ORIENTATION101:
agreed andp didnt meet up with the substitution window according to inec
The bone of contention is who have the power to disqualify a candidate/party in election?

Is it the inec or court?

It was court that disqualfied APC in zamfara, Rivers, bayelsa not inec.

Most Nigerians and their strength of comprehension should make a case study. There are before and after election matters. In addition, there are issues which require the investigative powers of the judiciary to tackle. INEC does not have the subpoena powers of the court. In this case, the matter is centered on pre-election issue and does not require the investigative powers of the court therefore INEC has the power to disqualify.

7lives:
Don't worry, the truth will be embedded in the history.
Some animals wake up one morning and decided to kill other people's fathers to solve the political problem of the country.
The children of those murdered in cold blood rose in anger to make a mince meat of the relatives of the killers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, history is cool.

I guess fools are allowed to write too. If the relatives of the so-called killers were remotely involved in the purge of the corrupt politicians, the so-called children would not have a chance to cough.
