The north actually like it when you underestimate them...

They act like they know nothing, whereas they're cunnier than the educated south.

Same North that couldn't get Buhari into Aso Rock after how many times of attempts? I hope you know the NC is not part of your useless backward North?

underpinna:
And I just replied you.

You didn't give the right answer.
You consider cheating as being smart then went ahead to claim our government does that too.
It's a fact all over the world that you can have better leaders than the people, which corroborated the fact that our government is just a reflection of us the people.
Most of you complaining cut corners as much as you can every day. You'll do worse if you have better opportunities.

na wah ooo Jesus . Jesus . What happened to having up to 5 refineries?

What happened to building one yourself?
It's obvious any business government does is riddled with corruption.

Marvyx:
All this epistle without thinking that if Nigerians have enough purchasing power or in the least even abundant electricity, they wouldn't mind buying fuel at 1500 per litre.

We still higher purchasing power than Benin and Niger though.
However, I don't think we can completely run away from buying fuel. For instance, I've not used my generator for well over a year now (electricity supply have been very good, and I also went solar as backup), but we have to fuel our car to get around.
Apart from the fact that Nigeria is an oil producing country, fuel is very cheap.

ChybuzzDD:
This particular gruesome act was carried out by Nigerian soldiers, not Boko Haram, you filthy hypocr!te.
Which country has a president, where the military destroys lives and property instead of protecting them
You unfortunate creatures just turn things upside down to suite your silly and evil narratives

Allegedly. Or that word doesn't exist in your own dictionary?
The only thing I read is the Army Spokesman promising an investigation into the matter, which is the professional thing to do. That's not a confirmation or denial.
It might go either way.

And you can prove the killing was done by our military if invited?

Residents in the Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State are in shock after men in military uniform stormed the Sabon Birnin Daji Cattle Market and opened fire, killing three persons and over 100 cows.

Eyewitnesses claimed the suspected soldiers stormed the market, opening fire on the cattle market, resulting in the deaths of at least three people as traders scrambled for safety.

According to a local, Mallam Shehu Sabon Birni, who spoke to our correspondent, “the dead animals are scattered in the market, causing an offensive odour, making life unpleasant.”

“It was a horrific scene when the soldiers arrived at the market, some of them on motorcycles, and started shooting the animals. Two people were killed in the chaos,” Birni said.

Health 360: Food Safety0:00 / 0:00

“Now, over 100 dead cows are scattered throughout the market, and the nearby houses are overwhelmed by the stench. We are still unsure why the soldiers took such drastic action,” he added.

Islamic scholar, Dr. Ahmad Gumi, in a video on his Facebook handle, commented on the incident, stating: “Banditry has a cause. And this is part of it. Two wrongs don’t make a right, especially when committed by those entrusted with our protection.”

However, reacting in a statement on Thursday, the Army’s Director of Public Relations, Maj. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, said the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, had ordered a probe of the incident to establish the immediate and remote causes and uncover those responsible.


Nwachukwu said, “The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a disturbing news report with gory pictures/video footages published in some mainstream and social media platforms alleging that troops of 1 Division annihilated three persons and some cattle during a recent operation at Sabon Birni in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

“While the Nigerian Army wishes to sympathise with the Sabon Birni community and families of the affected persons, we also wish to state that the allegation will be thoroughly investigated and any personnel found culpable will be appropriately sanctioned.

“It is also necessary to add that the NA, which is constitutionally mandated to protect the lives and property of the citizenry, can not tolerate doing otherwise.

“Accordingly, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, has directed a thorough investigation into the incident with a view to establishing the immediate and remote causes of the incident and unraveling those behind it.

“We, therefore, appeal for calm and assure the general public that the outcome of the investigation will also be made public.”

The PUNCH reports that in May, the Nigerian Army said it took into custody some soldiers who were accused of oppression and illegally seizing 518 cows, 177 sheep and rams belonging to the Fulani Waziri family of Rafin Sarki village in Fatika District.

This was in response to a petition by the Fulani Waziri family in the Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State, who urged the Nigerian Army authorities to order the detachment of soldiers deployed to Fatika to return their animals and henceforth stop selling their farmlands.


They also called for a full investigation into the activities of the soldiers in the community, whom they accused of killing 12 members of the family without provocation.

The family listed those allegedly killed by the soldiers as: Nura Abdussalam, Adamu Abdulkarim, Yusuf Haruna, Buhari Haruna, Kabiru Haruna, Hussaini Haruna, Zinatu Bello, Haruna Idris, Waziri, Rayyanu Shuaibu, Alhaji Abdulkarim and Salisu Abdulkarim.

Nwachukwu told The PUNCH that the Army received a petition from the aggrieved family and had commenced full investigations into the case.

“Reference your inquiry. The information available to me is that an investigation into the allegation is currently ongoing.

“The personnel involved have been taken into custody and investigation has commenced and we should await the outcome,” Nwachukwu said.

I don't think he's coming back anyway knowing fully well the kind of people he had been with and helped for over 20 years. I only hope that the one they sold their votes to really remembers them and their needs because they have made their choice

You're making it seems everyone there voted for his opponent.
We don't have the details of the results, but I don't think he should expect every living soul that's qualified to vote to cast the ballot in his favor because he built boreholes?

He's still a suspect. I'm not convinced yet he's into fraud. It could be some envious snitch tipping off the EFCC.

maasoap:
Supposedly, right? Selling their votes in the hope of "supposedly". How smart are they?


That's not selling, that's identifying with someone who has got their backs for the past 20 years. But instead, the usual poor mentality and poverty took over them as expected, selling their votes for immediate gain, cash. Smart people

I still don't think people should engage in charities with the hope of getting repaid in any form later in the future.
I know many people voted for him in the constituency, but not just enough to win the election. He only disappointed his supporters in the area and ended up losing the little goodwill he has.
If the winner plays his game well, this loser's political career officially over.

HenryThegreat1:
.

For the 32 pages, 5 years validity one, the official price has since been 50k for as far back as 2 years ago, so this isn't news.
I'm going for the 10years deal next.

maasoap:
By the time typhoid hits them really bad from contaminated water, they will realise their own foolishness of selling their votes to the highest bidder instead of someone who had been their pillar of support for 20 years.

At least they now have someone supposedly more responsible to rebuild the boreholes.
I don't think people should sell their votes because of 10 boreholes too. The cost is not even up to N20m.

Melagros:
COMRADES, is like sometimes we the masses are the cause of our afflictions

Do you think the man was wrong?
Was the election free and fair? Or
The electorates betrayed him?

I guess not a single person voted for him in the whole constituency?
What happens to some people who voted for him there?
It's very childish to do a "favor" and expect anything in return in any form.
I think the people did the right not voting for an idiot like this. They made the right choice.

KLEINBASS:
The root is that the is no legit Nigerian in South Africa their all involved in drugs.they sell drugs even from their filthy salons and churches. Nigerians are parasites running around like headless chickens in South Africa. I will always see a Nigerian as a sub human until they start leaving like humans not a animals

If the drug sellers are subhumans, the buyers are what?
The last time I checked, there can only be sellers when the market is available. Nobody is forcing your brothers to buy drugs.
When you stop taking hard drugs in that hellhole, drug dealers will stop coming to your country.

Maria Branyas Morera, an American-born Spanish woman believed to be the oldest person in the world, has died, according to her family. She was 117.




https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/20/world/europe/worlds-oldest-person-maria-branyas-dead.

It's the way these people just assign good high ranks to themselves. 117 years old is world's oldest? According to which data?

Lionessza6:
LMFAO. Glad you confirmed it. Now the idiat must go back and join her stupid people

Just Bleep off my mention. I don't waste time exchanging banter with low IQed people.

Lionessza6:
She was stupid enough to stay and not only that......

She was stupid enough to think we would want a bloody Nigerian as Miss SA

Now that's extreme stupidity.

Very stupid of her to think low lives who go about hunting other black people like games because "they are taking our women and jobs" would allow her win the contest.
It's totally her fault.

Lionessza6:
If that's what she believed...she would have gone home years before . She's only going back because she was rejected and Nigeria has guaranteed her a crown...farting on the faces of the other girls

Like I said, Nigeria is always home. It's not her fault that her parents were stupid enough to move to a place like South Africa of all countries.

Enugurangers:
Let's be truthful to ourselves. That girl will struggle in Nigeria. Better she returns to South Africa after whatever she comes to contest for in Nigeria ends. There is a reason South Africans are not migrating to Nigeria, but it's the other way around.

People struggle everywhere brother.
I'd rather go to Sambisa if I have to make that choice than go to SA, again.
She'll make it real big if she comes back to Nigeria, judging by the fact that she is facing discrimination over there. If he likes, she can stay behind and let those useless people use her as barbeque on their next Xenophobic cycle. The envy for everything Nigerian is the root of their hatred. She can't help it. If they withdraw revoke her documents, she won't even be able to stay there legally. What other choices does she have?

No problem. Nigeria is always home. She'll fare better here. I don't even know what reasonable people go to SA for in the first place.

It's totally hypocritical for the North to be destroying beers when we know they take it in their closet.
I don't know who they're trying to deceive into thinking they're holy. I mean, the far North is a cesspit of everything bad. From substance abuse, to alcoholism. From prostitution to child marriage. Add the fact that the core North is home to a number of insurgent groups.
Ever since the introduction of shariah law, everything has begun to go down the drain over there.

Radda radda

So these people were born after 1993 or what?

Make I call my Aunty. That's my mom's hometown.

It would have been better to use the resources they've been sinking into these refineries to start building a new one and sell the old one as scrap metal to the "Iron condemn" Aboki people.

Ttipsy:
you are totally wrong, the issue with SE is political

Nobody is attacking innocent pple. Is it not the same owerrri that a friend who came back from Australia is living till date ?

You can remain wherever you are
Shame on you

No need to be emotional. Whatever is going on politically among brothers, I don't want to be caught in the web.
Orlu is just like my second hometown. I used to follow my Reverend Father to grace the August meetings. His Mom is like a mother to me. I used to visit her everytime I'm in Imo, but look at what that place has become now? Thank God he relocated the woman.
I've never been at a close shave with death, than I was between Obosima and Owerri in 2022, so you're not the one that'll tell me what's going on. I've avoided all volatile areas in the country, not just the south east.

RuggedBiafran:
Funniest thing is that YOU are not missed or even needed

Believe whatever makes you happy.

I prefer the northern part of the City.
It's a pity lives now worth less than a trash in the South East. Owerri used to be my favorite place, but South East is a no-go area, at least, for now.

It is. In fact, it's the only problem we have.
It's what defines our society, the administration of justice and everything in between.
It's the reason why someone would embezzle 20billion pension fund and be asked to pay 500k fine.
Our constitution is the reason why we can't have strong institutions and why public servants get away with everything.
I don't know why the North is always wary if we talk about revisiting the obviously crooked 1999 constitution.
