You not be quick to rely on a man that has no convictions. Today he is a pastor, tomorrow an imam and then a masquerade man!

Does he have any serious commitments apart from appearing in the news and eating kpomo on the streets?

Only in Ekiti!

I may not agree with Kanu's approach but PMB's approach is somewhat wrong.

There is nothing wrong in people seeking self-determination. There is nothing wrong if they start to donate money into that cause. So all this noise about money moving through France does not make sense to me.

IPOB must not carry arms and must not spread hate or disturb public peace. This is where they got t wrong.

You cant beat them!

Thank God most of it where not shipped to 9ja

you may not be so sure...our brothers sabi move things.

Heavy smog in the city has been responsible for disrupting traffic, worsening air pollution and forcing the closure of school.

and they are asking donald trump to cut emissions in an america that has super clean air....

Mazi Kanu is possibly somewhere re-drawing his map.

It now has to include Sokoto because of the oyel!

SuperS1Panther:
Our Lawmakers are gradually turning themselves to interpreters of law and enforcers of law?

That was Saraki too was interpreting law yesterday, as if he is a lawyer or the court or the Judiciary.

What power do they have to give such directive?

Do you mind them?

They have turned themselves to a useless body. No wonder they dont want re-structuring.

Today you find one dancing at a London carnival or another one making his state ungovernable because he now wants to be governor.

Scrap the house. They have no relevance to our progress as a nation. 8 months to pass (or pad) a budget and the other 4 months on vacation.

It's about time the airports are concessioned to professionals who know how to manage world class airports! Ours down seem to be the worst all over the world!! You want to use the toilets and no tissues when cleaners manage to give you a slice of tissue they expect settle! As you disembark the tunnel from plane to main airport halls have leaking roofs, messed up and dirty rugs!!! Escalators hardly work!!!!
The worst of them all is getting your luggage from the conveyors that hardly work...?pheew!!!
Please government should not look back on this! Borrow a leaf from out telecom industry!!!

Thats after you pay 300 r soto pass through the toll gate and 400 to park your car! MMA has one of the highest airport taxes you can think of yet nothing to show for it.

Sorry to say that they cannot question the decision to concession the airports. If they dont agree with the process then they have an issue.

FG has no business managing businesses. It breeds inefficiency and corruption. Airports are pure commercial businesses.

As long as the security remains intact no qualms.

This is the challenge with civil servants. They like freebies. Resume at 9am close at 3pm and sometimes do nothing inbetween. In the real world things are slightly different.

At any rate FG should compensate those who may have to leave. Those who are highly competent I guess will be retained by whoever wins the concessions.

FG please concession MMA to top global operators and quickly fix the airport road. That will give Nigeria a lot of mileage in terms of publicity.

Every thing go viral these days! When has insanity become news?

So what is new in this? Its insane, pure insane.

The impression created on the social media is that ALL Igbos are aggrieved. If this is not the true situation then I suggest that the "70%" non-aggrieved Igbos should be more vocal about their stand in the whole debacle so that a wrong impression of things will not be painted by the "small faction".

In any case, I still think Buhari needs to have a serious town hall meeting with both the Igbos in the SE and the minorities in the SS so as to iron out grey areas and see how a restructured Nigeria can be fashioned to benefit both the North and South.

That has happened already a few times. Maybe it is okay they try it one more time. The leaders rather than ask for streamlining and re-structuring will start clamouring again for more states for their regions, which translates into more governors and more looting. Nigeria just needs good leaders at all levels. Period. why are we not getting them? Because the electorate is largely gullible and illiterate. That's also why it so easy for Kanu to turn the youths in SE to mumus.

Very nice, just that a good bed does not guarantee a good sleep. Same as a good house is no guarantee to a happy life.

You worked hard and reaped the reward. Give thanks to God who gave you the opportunity.

Its just so sad that in Africa, people make money and then build house with walls that look much like prison walls! Interior is super nice, though.

Congrats.

God has blessed that country but Americans seem to have forgotten that.

In that photo there is only one person eating or maximum two. The senator was just posing!

That by itself is scandalous! Why demean your fellow human being pretending to eat with him, only to use his/their photo to score a point/sell yourself on the net?

Who is fooled by the way with Nigerian politicians 'eat in public' with commoners, when they only remember the poor when seeking election/re-election?

You buy 100 naira rice for a commoner and then go behind and pocket the 100 million that should have been used to build a hospital or school!

All the so-called constituency budgets - why dont the senators show us what they have built or what they have spent the money on?

Nonsense.

Sad, they are yet to learn their lesson. There is one 'Nnamdi Kanu' coming after you in your constituency soon!

She's probably right.

Same way as OPC turned some guys to billionaires.

BH too turned some guys into billionaires.

People really think that Nigerians are gullible. They may be right.

agabusta:
Its seems a good move on the surface, but I hope FG wont get their hands burnt at the end.

Personally, I have some reservations about this. I dont trust that Dangote dude, he will get triple or quadruple benefits from this in addition to the fact that all the materials to be used will be supplied by his company.

Better than nothing.

They may also not be paying a lot of tax anyway. Talk about win-win.

Remember that FG do not have a lot of funds these days.

FFK, please place your mouth on vacation a bit.

You stopped making sense a long time ago.

He collected cash from them for Uber services? Since when?

..............of unregistered clowns and comedians.

Who is a celebrity?

He is a man or woman that lives a lie!

He needs deliverance but he/she would not admit it!

He thinks he has fans and admirers but they soon disappear as soon as the shine fades.

He lives larger than life but it is all a hype.

He is always pretending so that people would think he is richer than his neighbour.

He borrows cars, cash, houses and poses with them. Sometimes he wants to prove that he is richer than Mayweather. He does not even know that 'may weather' cannot be predicted. It looks like its getting hot then the rain starts.

Mr Celebrity, let hands be laid on you so you can find truth and not live lies.

Justin Bieber is on course now, turning from the dark alley of false life to the true path of light and life.

Udmaster, I am sure you know that they will abuse you.

It is all because people dont reason. So, they allow themselves to be fed and led by deranged people.

Even a divorce between one man and one woman can lead to unknown trauma and battles, not to talk of a divorce of peoples.

It is only a deranged man that can sit down and cook up a map of those he wants and those he does not want, and from there start to live like an emperor.

I think IPOB has taken SE backwards by several decades! All by fighting a just cause in the wrongest way.

Folks, reason - a call for secession is a call for war! Somebody is going to feel cheated along the path, and then the shout of 'I cant take this' and then crisis, and then war!

Reason - If there is a Biafra today made of 5 states, that Biafra will implode into crisis within 1 year!

There is a spirit of violence looming around Igboland. Ibos pray!

FG should not sit and watch as the nation runs into anarchy.

Not acting in time to save other crises, such as BH led to too much carnage.

If the Igbos want Biafra, so be it, but there must be ways to do this in a civilised manner, such as mobilising their state reps and their national reps. The reps can push for a referendum on it.

So far, they are making it look like a battle concocted by Kanu and a large hosts of unemployed youths. If you allow that to grow anarchy may result.

There is no nation that will sit idle and watch you change the flags and start your own parallel army.

Go to Spain and learn how the Catalans are fighting for independence.

The Scots sought for independence and lost in a vote and they accepted it.

There is no proof that majority of Igbos want Biafra until it is put to a vote. Efforts should be put into forming that coalition that will get that vote. To think you can have it another way, outside the legal channel, is to be calling for war. Do you want that? Have we failed to learn lessons from the last civil war?

You should stop listening to FFK - He speaks like a man whose head is not clear! He does not know what he is talking about. He speaks like a loose canon. People in SW look at him as a nonentity. His likes are constantly in Abuja looking for the next government post and attendant chop-chop!

Let the people do peaceful protests. Form your coalition. Push for a vote. Dont cross delicate lines like forming an army. Avoid carnage. It does not pay anyone. If Nigeria goes to war, Syria might look like a child's play. Only possessed people will be calling for that now!

Where are the tanks? Where is the Army in this?

Very sickening indeed.

The jobbers are at work!

They are chopping fat - and they will of course be deceiving PMB that he is doing well, whereas his performance is very far below average.

Enough of the nonsense.

Like Atiku like PMB.

Their generation should not be allowed to rule this country anymore. They lack the morale, integrity and energy to rule the largest black nation in the world.

PMB till date - No concrete judicial reforms. No concrete Police reforms. No concrete Customs reform. No banking reforms. No land use reforms. No re-structuring agenda. Nothing! They just think by appointing people problems will stop. All over Lagos yesterday you would find illegal Police posts. Same extortion that has been there for more than 40 years. No Change. Not even a change agenda.

I voted PMB because he flaunted change. It now looks like a horrendous swindle.

I hear some people shouting Atiku 2019. What can he offer? Same OLD re-cycling.

And in this nation we have Okonjo-Iweala, Soludo, Utomi! We have Fashola, Osinbajo, Fola Adeola, Sanusi, Ribadu - There are so many brilliant people with a solid track of international achievements. they have been helping other nations but not Nigeria, because we wont allow them.

Is there a curse on the nation?

PMB is healthy now and things seem to have gone comatose again.

Everyday they publish what Diezani stole. She is not here to defend herself! I am not supporting stealing but they should remember that Diezani made solid changes in the Oil Industry. She controlled scarcity (even at low prices) and worked on a robust PIB which the wicked cabals have continued to block.

It is just so irritating! Let us not think we can do the same things and expect a different outcome. This is the definition of INSANITY. Voters beware! Nigerian politicians actually think the people are gullible and insane. Time to prove them wrong!

No more presidency or governorship or house for the highest bidder. Any party that fields an old breed, a crook, or an incompetent person should be denied the votes. Let the people for once prove indeed that 'power belongs to the people'.

congrats.

Cook and feed it to the chickens.

Magu is right. FG should have sought for voluntary refund of loots. That would have allowed Diezani and HUNDREDS of others to refund.

Dialogue will not help matters
For every igbo that grew up in igboland,.this might be their experience too
as little kids we were meant to see massob members and people shouting biafra as miscreants, we were taught to believe in one nigeria
we held this belief until we came of age.
discrimination stared boldly at us
I was signing the NYSC book of life wen i noticed that most corpers there were born in that region and schooled in that state, something that is hardly seen in the south
I came to discover that the tune for 9 o clock news sounded like an hausa or fulani song
I came to discover that south has the least number of senators and House of reps members there
I came to discover that most of our soldiers are hausas
i came to discover that most of our leaders and politicians were of northern extraction
As an Igbo i found that i will never be the president of nigeria
During NYSC i found out that Hausa corpers were treated with respect while we were treated as rags
I might not support ipob and kanu because of their strategies
Outwardly am called a nigerian, but inside i know i am not just part of this country.
Almost all the major roads in the north are in good condition but i spend up to one hour from oyigbo to eleme
Change my mindset (which is ultimately very difficult) and i will drop biafra

The man who who said there is a Biafra in all of us is probably correct.

We all are on the receiving end.

PMB made a mistake by raising the volume of an unwanted song. It was a mistake to have adopted the winner must take all attitude.

OPC, IPOB, Arewa are not the answers. They are however good instruments to use to push for proper -restructuring based on equity, fairness and justice.

If there is Arewa, Biafra or Odua Republics today, the same promoters of wicked politics will take advantage and spread the evil of marginalization. Have you started to see the 'emperor tendency' in Kanu?

No one should be fooled. We just want equity and fairness. Let us all have equal opportunities.

Nigeria does not need to break but Nigeria should not continue to live a lie!

krendo:
What's this nonsense talk about Dankwabo all over the place

Why do Nigerians like electing nonentities?

I wonder o.

The electorate is a major part of Nigeria's problems. We have become so gullible!

So the politicians will keep taking us for a ride.
