when someone eat indomie and another person ate rice, people will look at the person who ate indomie as being rich but actually rice is more expensive than indomie or any noodles.my point is this, if he traveled by road,they will be need to fuel up to twenty cars and different drivers will be involved. tell me which is more expensive than just hiring just one jet
Hmmm, there is already a stipulated budget for routine fuelling and maintenance of these vehicles besides what is he doing with 20 cars and what is the distance from Kaduna to Bauchi that it will equate to cost of hiring a jet. Even if na armoured tanks.

Flood is a natural disaster.

Bayelsa is mostly reclaimed land that is prone to flooding.

Unfortunately APC sycophants don't know this, just like their dull president they cant grasp basic common knowledge.

it is either you are ignorant or you are hiding the truth. My book of history told me that emmanuel ifeajuna and christain anuforo are the major co-plotter behind kaduna nzeogwu.

This people I mentioned above are hold in great esteem by me because of the foresight and vision for Nigeria.

But the igbo leaders that brought shame and destruction to us are aguiyi ironsi and odumegwu ojukwu.

Stop wallowing in ignorance and wake up to bear the brunt of the mistakes of your past self centered and egoistic leaders.
Maybe your "book of history" is nairaland.

Because you cannot be behind your junior officer. (Nzeogwu was the instructing officer at NDA Kaduna )
Every other book of history except the one you read says Nzeogwu led the coup.

OrlandoOwoh:
The Igbira people of Kogi State speak a language that is not mutually intelligent with Yoruba, yet bear Yoruba names as their surnames; does that make them Yoruba?
You may have a point because I wonder why they keep calling Aworis Yoruba just because they speak a mutally intelligible language.

Maybe that is why Awori people always opt for a separate colony from the SW.

guy, stop peddling falsehood. Nzeogwu was just a small fry in the IBO coup. The ibos, in their weak cover up attempt picked a yoruba man, ademoyega and a SS minority called Nzeogwu to follow Ifeajuna and other Ibo soldiers to carry out a coup so as to make it look like it was done by all tribes. If not, how come the beneficiaries were Ibos only?
lol!
Nzeogwu the chief instructor at NDA Kaduna and the highest ranking person is now a small fry.
Hahahaha!



Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu
was the face of the coup attempt, which involved
five other army majors including Ademoyega.
This is common knowledge.

If you go anywhere it is branded Nzeogwu led coup.

Well now you say he is not Igbo but Niger delta who am I to argue.

there are ibo speaking people in SS which doesn't make them Ibos just as french speaking togolese aren't french.

Ibo is a language spoken by different tribes. Some clans just came together and decided to tag speakers of the language as one tribe. My opinion (might be factual).
So French is the native language of the Togolese?

Lol!

I thought you were smart but i'm getting bored.

in your warped mind, Nzeogwu and ademoyega were the only officers who carried out the coup. The soldiers were mostly ibos. Nzeogwu was a SS minority who was still confused as to whether he is Ibo or something else. His people of today have now found an identity for themselves. Let them be

Mind you, the beneficiaries of the coup were Ibos who took over in the person of aguiyi ironsi and also filled federal parastatals with nepotism.
Hahahaha!
So in other words.

Nzeogwu is from Niger Delta.

There are no Igbos in Niger Delta so the Nzeogwu led coup is a Niger Delta led coup. Not an Igbo led coup.

OR

Nzeogwu is Igbo from Niger Delta thus is an Igbo led coup as has been widely spread.

There are millions of indigenous Igbos in Niger Delta.
If Biafra is actualized it will include the Igbos in Niger Delta if they wish to join.

OR

Nzeogwu is Igbo when it has to do with the coup.

But when it comes to Biafra and OYEL then there are no Igbos in Niger Delta and we can name them whatever we wish.

TonyeBarcanista:
Thank you @OP and all my brothers and sisters.

From the time go, I have been a proud son of the South South/Niger Delta that will never trade an inch of our territory nor the interests of our people on the altar of partisanship or friendship.

I have to restate that I am not against the agitation of Biafrans. I don't hate Igbo or any tribe. I respect the right of every group to self-determine their destiny. In the same vein, I am a strong advocate of our own people to self determine their destiny and protect/Defend our territorial integrity. I am the son of my father and never a bastard. This position is non-negotiable. No about of mob action or insults can change that. The South South people may be minorities and less vocal but we will never cow to blackmail. Every group will decide for themselves.
Are there native Igbos in the SS?

I believe there are people who speak ibo in SS but are never tribal Ibos. They have their own identity eg ikwerre, anioma, ndoki etc.

Let them be.
Ok thank you.

Because I always hear that it was a coup led by an Igbo man Nzeogwu from Niger Delta and a Yoruba man Ademoyega that caused people to start killing Igbos in retaliation.

At least now I know that it was not an Igbo man but a Niger Delta man and a Yoruba man that did it.

I can now rest.

Are there any Igbos in Niger Delta?

Most of the technology mentioned are already in use in most luxury brands and even in regular brands.
Many car companies just tweak it a bit and give it a fancy new name.

Active lane departure warning which stirs you back to the road automatically

Self parking

Adaptive laser guided cruise control etc.

Use of mobile phones to unlock and start your car e.g. Nissan connect system are available.

It is just that Tokunbo cars and purchase of base models even when new have kept most Nigerians 10 years behind current car technology.

Buhari has turned a blind eye to the happenings in the north while Boko Haram is busy stockpiling weapons.

He has chosen to jet off to India on taxpayers money instead of facing the insurgency.

Buhari is the worst president Nigeria has ever had and maybe the last to govern Nigeria as an entity.

Crime › Re: NDLEA Arrests 2 China-bound Passengers With 89 Debit Cards by eaglechild: 1:31am On Oct 26, 2015
omonnakoda:
All cards are called ATM cards in Nigeria . At any rate the issue was the number of the cards and the fact that the cards bore more than one identity and the story mentions an attempt at concealment.

I do not know if they need to declare in Nigeria but you say they do not and I asked how do you know this ? NO ANSWER
In America you do I supplied a link for that several posts ago.
. I am not making as much of the declaration as you seem to because I do no say what I do not know
They were arrested so let us wait for the court to rule.
Did I arrest them? Surely when they go to court we will hear the Nigerian laws and regulations that relate to such activity


NOW

Giade said that the suspects conspired with others to evade scrutiny from government agencies by opening various bank accounts with the aim of using the debit cards for daily withdrawals abroad.

Clearly he believes that is a crime so let us wait for the courts to rule whether conspiring to evade scrutiny with the aim of

using the debit cards for daily withdrawals abroad is prohibited and criminal
All I wanted to point out is that one is not required by law to declare the content of one's debit card in Nigeria as you previously stated.

If the law iin a particular jurisdiction requires that then yes. I do not know if that is the case specifically in Nigeria.

Prepaid cards are not tied to any account educate yourself.
You can buy them at the Post Office in he UK e.g and LOAD money onto them whilst getting all the functionality that goes with a VISA debit card WITHOUT A BANK ACCOUNT that is what prepaid means and so they are a favourite of criminals. It is normal for government to want to control this. Now customs officials can scan them to see how much is on them in the US e.g

Some Nigeria VISA cards are "PREPAID" and do not have the same functionality as DEBIT cards from some other countries which have no restrictions subject to the money being in the account
Please don't evade the obvious facts.

They were caught with ATM (DEBIT) cards.
Which are by the way a form of prepaid cards unlike credit cards.
They are Nigerian cards and have the same functionality.

You are outsmarting yourself not me.

Once again I will ask you - do you need to declare the contents of your prepaid debit card which is the specific card they were caught with?

Nevermind the answer is NO!

Answers do not need to be biographical. The range of human activities is infinite and so you cannot have laws banning things in detail for every activity . Rather laws tend to be general in their wording and sometimes laws have to be tested in courts That is the nature of jurisprudence . In this case without detailed knowledge of the particulars one's comments can be generic only. The issue is not just the possession of the cards but the intent for their possession

The alleged offence here is in Nigeria so your odysseys into Heathrow are interesting but are not really helpful in understanding the issues here. This is not a matter of airport rules but whether the intent was to subvert extant currency regulations and whether full disclosures were made. We shall have to wait for the courts to pronounce ,since he has been arrested. It is the case that guilt has to be proven for EVERY alleged offence so nothing special in this instance. What seems certain is any person travelling through a Nigerian airport with cards not bearing their name can expect to be arrested and hopefully then can provide a satisfactory defence/explanation
This is quite common. Another crucial question is whether the status of the card is Prepaid which I believe many Nigerian VISA cards . IF That is the case then they are treated as similar to Travellers Cheques ie Monetary instruments and declarable.
Your last statement doesn't add up.

Are you trying to say that one has to declare the content on his debit card when he is travelling or do you not realise that a single debit card can be tied to an account worth millionshuh
What then is the need for the withdrawal limit pegged on these cards if one has to declare them.

Obiagu1:
You missed the point.
Circumventing a regulation LEGALLY is in itself legal.

This kind of grey areas in laws have been exploited for ages. You do not commit a crime when you do legal things or do you?

When you set a limit for cash withdrawal from an account with a card, I commit no crime if I withdraw 100 times that amount with my 100 legal cards from 100 legal bank accounts. I'm not a card so I have no limit.
Period.

You nailed it.
