I feel pity for Palestinians but they allowed this to before them.

Going by historical facts and happening within those territories, you will understand that those guys from Gaza are truly suffering in the hands of Isreal and Egypt.

Lets keep religion aside and be factual. Try yo understand the history before you comment.

For anyone who will quote me concerning religion, Christians make up just about 2% of the religion in Israel. Muslims are far more in number as compared to Christian.

There should have been dialogue and peace talk. Now the innocent ones are suffering.

Peace is better than war.

I will NEVER support violence or crisis.

Thanks brother tell them

I owned a restaurant when my wife come around she eat without paying
She have her own shop when I go there I will pay for everything I took from her shop
I give her feeding money weekly

I don't understand this government
You want to borrow up to 6 trillion

The money your master borrowed for new government house we are paying it and we did not see anything
You want to borrow your own
The loan your collected from world bank for umuahia and aba water projects we did not see any thing
Where is the money
And you want to collect another one

rest in peace my brother and friend @ikenna

If law makers don't understand the law, we need serious prayers in this country. Must it be about Tribe, Party or Region at all times.

Shagari's was not elected, he was head of interim government

if you call them more 2 times because the same problem they won't answer you

key word $161bn entering the economy and $203 bn leaving the economy every year

Our climate crisis was not caused by Africa, but Africans will feel the effect more than most others, writes Dearden [Siphiwe Sibeko/Reuters]
Africa is poor, but we can try to help its people.
It's a simple statement, repeated through a thousand images, newspaper stories and charity appeals each year, so that it takes on the weight of truth. When we read it, we reinforce assumptions and stories about Africa that we've heard throughout our lives. We reconfirm our image of Africa.
Try something different. Africa is rich, but we steal its wealth.

INSIDE STORY: Can African leaders stop money laundering? (24:46)

That's the essence of a report ( pdf ) from several campaign groups released today. Based on a set of new figures, it finds that sub-Saharan Africa is a net creditor to the rest of the world to the tune of more than $41bn. Sure, there's money going in: around $161bn a year in the form of loans, remittances (those working outside Africa and sending money back home), and aid.
But there's also $203bn leaving the continent. Some of this is direct, such as $68bn in mainly dodged taxes. Essentially multinational corporations "steal" much of this - legally - by pretending they are really generating their wealth in tax havens. These so-called "illicit financial flows" amount to around 6.1 percent of the continent's entire gross domestic product (GDP) - or three times what Africa receives in aid.
Then there's the $30bn that these corporations "repatriate" - profits they make in Africa but send back to their home country, or elsewhere, to enjoy their wealth. The City of London is awash with profits extracted from the land and labour of Africa.
OPINION: Africa's natural resources - From curse to a blessing
There are also more indirect means by which we pull wealth out of Africa. Today's report estimates that $29bn a year is being stolen from Africa in illegal logging, fishing and trade in wildlife. $36bn is owed to Africa as a result of the damage that climate change will cause to their societies and economies as they are unable to use fossil fuels to develop in the way that Europe did. Our climate crisis was not caused by Africa, but Africans will feel the effect more than most others. Needless to say, the funds are not currently forthcoming.
If African countries are to benefit from foreign investment, they must be allowed to - even helped to - legally regulate that investment and the corporations that often bring it.
In fact, even this assessment is enormously generous, because it assumes that all of the wealth flowing into Africa is benefitting the people of that continent. But loans to governments and the private sector (at more than $50bn) can turn into unpayable and odious debt.
Ghana is losing 30 per cent of its government revenue to debt repayments, paying loans which were often made speculatively, based on high commodity prices, and carrying whopping rates of interest. One particularly odious aluminium smelter in Mozambique, built with loans and aid money, is currently costing the country £21 for every £1 that the Mozambique government received.
British aid, which is used to set up private schools and health centres, can undermine the creation of decent public services, which is why such private schools are being closed down in
Uganda and Kenya. Of course, some Africans have benefitted from this economy. There are now around 165,000 very rich Africans, with combined holdings of $860bn.
But, given the way the economy works, where do these people mainly keep their wealth?
In tax havens.
A 2014 estimate suggests that rich Africans were holding a massive $500bn in tax havens. Africa's people are effectively robbed of wealth by an economy that enables a tiny minority of Africans to get rich by allowing wealth to flow out of Africa.
So what is the answer? Western governments would like to be seen as generous beneficiaries, doing what they can to "help those unable to help themselves". But the first task is to stop perpetuating the harm they are doing. Governments need to stop forcing African governments to open up their economy to privatisation, and their markets to unfair competition.
OPINION: Investment in Africa - There's room for everyone
If African countries are to benefit from foreign investment, they must be allowed to - even helped to - legally regulate that investment and the corporations that often bring it. And they might want to think about not putting their faith in the extractives sector.

How to Rob Africa (25:00)
With few exceptions, countries with abundant mineral wealth experience poorer democracy, weaker economic growth, and worse development. To prevent tax dodging, governments must stop prevaricating on action to address tax havens. No country should tolerate companies with subsidiaries based in tax havens operating in their country.
Aid is tiny, and the very least it can do, if spent well, is to return some of Africa's looted wealth. We should see it both as a form of reparations and redistribution, just as the tax system allows us to redistribute wealth from the richest to the poorest within individual societies. The same should be expected from the global "society".
To even begin to embark on such an ambitious programme, we must change the way we talk and think about Africa. It's not about making people feel guilty, but correctly diagnosing a problem in order to provide a solution. We are not, currently, "helping" Africa. Africa is rich. Let's stop making it poorer

WHEN WILL ABIA STATE HAVE A GOOD LEADER? Ladies and gentlemen, of a truth, i have decided to use the above title and would not in any give it a nebulous approach. For those who have tilted and titled in their own right and tend to potend Abia {God's own} State in their own perspective, well that is their own cup of tea. For those who are not aware and conversant with the history of Abia State, let me enlighten us that it was created on the 27th of August 1991 from the defunct Imo State. Eversince, various leaders which ranges from Military to Civillian have emerged to administer and steer the ship of the State how they wish. However, the worst seems to be during the Civillian administration, apart from the regime of Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu{the first civillian Governor of the State between between 1992 to 1993}. Dr Orji Uzor Kalu assume post in the State 1999-2007 and nothing to show for it as he came and underdeveloped and impoverished the State the more. Among all the leaders who had served the State, the regime of Theodore Ahamefule Orji was the worst and this is even as he had since handed over to a stooge in the person of Okezie Ikpeazu. The question in the mouth of many now is why is Abia still lagging behind in terms of development. Why has Umuahia {the State capital} refused to develop despite the humongous allocation accrued to the State. The wost part of it is that workers in the State have not had the best of time as they are being owed arears and backlogs of salaries by the government. Pensioners in the State have since resorted to invoking the gods of their land, since it's as if the heavenly God has turned his back on them. But just as the holy bible said in the book of Psalms 121 "i will lift up my eyes unto the hills from where cometh my help? My help cometh from the lord who made heaven and earth." God can do all things because he is not man. Job 42:2 said it all. Well, it's my hope that Abian would one day have a God fearing man

Stelvin101:
Nigeria; the reality on ground is survival of the fitness. I no longer believe what anyone tells me in this country or about the future of this country because I am seeing the present with my two naked eyes. Both EFCC, Fed or State Govt, PDP, APC, Senate, and every other Arms of Govt are all useless and has brought this once great nation to its knees so who like make him dey read Stuupid political news everyday, waiting for one miracle and not go hustle else hungry go beat you die. For how long we will continue to hear story like this, money running into billions stolen and no is brought to book even when the person is identified.

I know longer believe in nigeria
