OMG! So perfect. Ankara is the new cool.

[quote author=obamabinladen post=57989509][/quote]LOL. He meant "I hate being TRIBALISTIC"

It would be very dumb sha to support a man who believes that PEJ would have been a better president than GEJ.

Don't you just admire the sheer determination of Aunty Kemi to always be entangled in controversies. You were 2years old and you can still give us detailed accounts of the events & you being so dumb to tell us that FFK is a cynic. Yes, we know both he & Fayose are, but FFK is supporting Biafra because he is in the opposition contrary to what you think.

When I said the SS would struggle a bit after restructuring many idiots came for my head.
Bad Governance and high revenue is never better than Good governance and low revenue.

Bad governance coupled with nepotism, high crime rate, cultism, militancy, and a polluted environment would hinder the progress of many SS states.

Hushpuppi is the new Evans.

I quite agree with the minister.
We do tend to over produce a certain kind of crop in a particular season, then we fail to preserve such crops till they get spoilt and wasted.
After the season of such crops, the prices skyrocket but during its season supply exceeds demand and the prices fall.
So we need to either start drastic preservative methods or we begin to export the leftovers and obtain greenback.

While addressing newsmen at the Pentecostal
Fellowship of Nigeria Headquarters in Lagos on
Thursday, the General Overseer of Living Faith
Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, said government
had no right to force subjects on anybody.
PFN leaders at the briefing on Thursday
Arising from an emergency meeting in Lagos, on
Thursday, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria,
PFN, and the General Overseer, Living Faith
Church, Bishop David Oyedepo have warned the
Federal and State Governments against attempt to
force Christian students in secondary schools to
offer Islamic Studies.
Speaking while addressing newsmen at the PFN
Headquarters in Isolo, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria,
Oyedepo said government had no right to force
subjects on anybody, saying that by stopping
Christian Religion Studies, CRS, at the Senior
Secondary School level, it automatically meant that
it would not be embraced at the tertiary
institutions.
“You cannot force our students to study Islamic
Studies or Arabic Studies,” he said, citing a case in
Kwara State where a Christian student was beaten
and forced to take Arabic Studies against his will.
Speaking, PFN President, Dr. Felix Omobude said
the PFN was concerned at the contention and
controversy that had attended the revised Basic
Education Curriculum, especially the unnecessary
collapse of Christian Religious Studies as part of an
omnibus subject known as Religion and National
Values.
“We note the explanation by the Nigerian
Educational Research and Development Council
(NERDC) on some of the issues raised. However,
the PFN maintains that whatever the case, there is
really no need nor is there any justification for the
needless confusion and uncertainty the NERDC
has created which has opened up the
implementation of the curriculum to the whims and
caprices people with vested interests who want to
impose their religious preferences on students.
“The PFN calls for an immediate reversal of the
change of curriculum so that Christian Religious
Studies can stand on its own as a separate
subject just as it has always been. Collapsing CRK
as only a part of Religion and National Values
forecloses the opportunity of the subject being
studied at the tertiary level by students who might
so desire and this is unacceptable to us.
“On the question of the compulsory study of
Foreign languages, as the curriculum has laid out,
the PFN urges that the window be opened up to
more languages beyond French and Arabic to
accommodate other languages such as Spanish,
etc. so that our children can enjoy greater
flexibility in foreign language study and not be
compelled to study a language they have no
interest in, as its being reported in some states.
We are aware of orchestrated plans to subtly use
this policy as a means of forceful religious
indoctrination and we maintain our stand against
it,” Omobude said.
On killings by Fulani herdsmen, Omobule stated
that the PFN was concerned that a lot of the
instances of killings across many parts of the
country was linked to Fulani herdsmen who
seemed to find it so easy to kill, destroy farms and
houses, yet were able to evade apprehension by
security forces.
“We call for adequate and appropriate response of
government to put an end to the activities of these
killer Herdsmen across the country. We urge the
Federal Government to take the issue of security
more seriously especially the spate of kidnappings
all over the country.
“The PFN restates its position that nomadic cattle-
rearing has become outdated. It urges the
government of states, where cattle rearing is a
part and parcel of their culture, to build ranches
and develop reserves where cattle owners can
husband their animals without travelling long
distances where they stray into farms, destroy
crops and constitute nuisance and threat to other
communities,” he said.
On Southern Kaduna crisis, the PFN president said
the body was worried at developments in the area,
especially the lack of prompt response to
guarantee the security of lives and property.
“The PFN calls for more attention to be paid to the
plight of the victims of the Southern Kaduna crisis.
A delegation from the PFN recently paid a visitation
to Southern Kaduna and made a presentation of
N15 million worth of relief materials to the different
groups, irrespective of ethnicity or religion. From
this visit, we can see that there is much more that
urgently needs to be done for the people of
Southern Kaduna and urgently too. We call on the
Federal government and Kaduna State government
to immediately improve on their rehabilitation
efforts,” he added.
On restructuring, Omobude said PFN noted with
concern the restiveness in different parts of the
country and the increasing calls for a break-up of
the country on the part of those purporting to
speak for ethnic groups.
“We restate our belief in the unity of Nigeria and a
commitment to one Nigeria where people of
different faiths and tongues can continue to live
together as one. However, we call on the
government to do all it can to assuage the fears
and concerns of everyone and ensure the practice
of Federalism in its true form. We urge the
government to pay attention to the calls for
restructuring and find a way to push for further
devolution of powers, while adopting an all-
inclusive approach to governance and
development in the country,” he added.

As the squabble between the Executive and
Legislative arm over the power of
appropriation rages, the House of
Representatives yesterday said it unearthed a
“bogus insertion” of N90 billion in the 2017
budgetary proposal presented by President
Muhammadu Buhari last December.

Its spokesperson, Abdulrazak Namdas, told
reporters yesterday in Abuja the questionable
sum was discovered in the estimates of the
Ministry of Works, Power and Housing.
He further clarified the cut in the allocations
for both the Second Niger Bridge and the
Lagos-Ibadan expressway in the appropriation
bill which is at the heart of the altercation
between the minister, Babatunde Raji Fashola
and the National Assembly.

Faulting the minister, who accused the
lawmakers of altering the budget to satisfy
their selfish goals, he maintained that Sections
4, 59, 80, and 81 of the 1999 Constitution (as
amended) vested in the National Assembly the
power to appropriate in line with the wishes of
Nigerians.

Namdas, who is also a member of the House
Committee on Works, claimed that Fashola’s
grudge may not be unconnected with the
decision to turn down two of his ministry’s
“bogus budgetary provisions under the guise
of miscellaneous expenses and environmental
impact assessment (EIA).”

He went on: “When I told the minister that
they budgeted N17 billion for environment
impact assessment (EIA) in the Mambilla, we
felt it was unjustified. We felt it was bogus and
uncalled for. He did not fault what I said.
What he said was that it was a misdirection and
we should have called his attention.”

Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi
Kanu came under fire from many quarters
yesterday for his belligerency, particularly his call
for the boycott of the November governorship
election in Anambra State.

He has also been threatening that unless a
referendum is organised to enable the Igbo
determine whether they should have Biafra, the
Southeast will boycott the 2019 elections.
Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, Ohanaeze
Ndigbo and politicains chided the separatist
advocate
.
The Ijaw Youth Council also threatened avtion should
Kanu disparage former President Goodluck
Jonathan again.

Okorocha who spoke at the State House in Abuja
said Kanu does not represent or speak for the Igbo,
describing him as a young man seekingrelevance.

“Kanu, a young man seeking relevance, agitating for
whatever he believes in, what he stands for must
be treated separately from the entire Igbo nation.
“He should be treated as a young man agitating and
seeking for relevance, these are two different
issues. And he can ride on the back of supposed
Igbo marginalization which has been said is not
right, and ride on that sentiments and push his
agenda but that does not mean that the entire Igbos
are speaking with him.

“The question is does Nnamdi Kanu have the
capacity to lead Igbo to war? Or lead me and the
governors to war? So I will stand now and Nnamdi
Kanu will tell me stand up let’s go to war? So,
sometimes we over dramatised the issue just to
make a big deal out of it and that has been the big
challenge.

“Like the gentleman that spoke for the Arewa
youths, and these are not more than 17 young men
speaking for millions of Arewa youths and it doesn’t
make sense because if you ask any Arewa youth
now if he is part of this he will tell you no.

“I was in Chatham House and I remember how I
was attacked by the IPOB boys when I was
delivering my lecture. They walked up to me and
they were shouting and I said calm down and the
young man has never visited Nigeria. So it is our
duty to call our younger ones to order but I want to
assure Nigerians that they should not see that as a
break but agitation given what they perceived that
the South East has been neglected overtime
politically, economically, socially and all that.

“Their roads are impassable, you cannot pass Port
Harcourt road, Enugu road, Aba Road, Bayelsa road
and all the roads. You can hardly see federal
government presence in the South East, all the
things you see are self-made things. Even the
Onitshe bridge has been a theoretical talk,
fabrications which does not represent reality. “So,
he speaks his own and joins it to our issues and it
now looks like a nationwide thing. That is not the
issue.

“We have called for unity and have agreed that we
will remain united. Very soon, some of us have
taken it upon ourselves to reach out to this young
men talk to them. We must understand that our
young men are frustrated, if they are as comfortable
as we are, they will not be able to say those.
Ohaneze Ndigbo said Kanu has no right to stop the
Anambra governorship election.

Its president, Dr John Nwodo, described the IPOB
leader’s statement as provocative, misleading and
unproductive.
He said Kanu’s statement was against the
agreement he reached with Ohaneze Ndigbo when
he visited him, adding that the IPOB leader had
breached the agreement with Ohaneze without
consultation.

Nwodo and his executive council members spoke
during a visit to the Anambra State House of
Assembly yesterday as part of its sensitisation in
the South East. Speaker Rita Maduagwu, lawmakers
and former National Chairman of the All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor
Umeh, attended.

Nwodo said: “News that reached us in the past few
days that Nnamdi Kami, had declared that there will
be no election in Anambra in November is shocking
and disturbing. I hereby countermand that
declaration as President General of Ohaneze
“Whereas Ohaneze understands the marginalisation
and unfair treatment of Igbos which have given rise
to self-determination movements in Igboland,
leaders of these movements must not arrogate to
themselves the supreme leadership of Igboland.
Statements of the kind credited to Nnamdi Kanu are
provocative, misleading and unproductive”
“Why should Anambra people be denied the
opportunity to choose their own leader? Why should
any of us not from Anambra, no matter how highly
placed, descend to the arena and dictate for
Anambra people when to vote, whether to vote or
who to vote for?

“Anambra, nay Igbos, are still part and parcel of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria. Yes, we are not happy
with our treatment in Nigeria”

“Yes, some of us want Biafra. Yes, some of us
prefer a restructured Federal Republic of Nigeria.
But the fact remains that we are still part and parcel
of the present Federal Republic of Nigeria, bound by
its laws, no matter how repressive or unjust”
Umeh said it was only the people who do not have
Igbo blood in them that would allow anybody to tell
them what goes on in the society today, adding that
the current Ohaneze was making Ndigbo proud.
Special Adviser to Governor Willie Obiano on
legislative matters, Chief Chidozie Ezeugwa,
condemned Kanu’s statement saying the
government of Anambra state under Obiano was
committed to the Igbo cause and would continue to
do everything to support Ohaneze’s interest in
anything in protecting Ndigbo in the country.
Some politicians have also condemned Kanu’s call
for a boycott of the Anambrapoll.

They said the call was capable of derailing
democracy in the state and expose the people to
anarchy.
Chief Sam Oraegbunam, Chairman of Hope
Democratic Party (HDP), Anambra chapter, said
although Kanu’s call for repositioning of Nigeria was
popular, he must not use it to cause confusion in
Anambra.

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide has
declared that further attack on former President
Jonathan by Kanu, would be met with appropriate
sanctions from Ijaw youths.

IYCthrough its Spokesman Daniel Dasimaka,
described as uncharitable and disrespectful, Kanu’s
comments on ex-President Jonathan.
The umbrella organisation of Ijaw youths said: “It is
quite ironic and appalling that anyone will say ex-
President Jonathan did nothing for the Southeast,
when it is common knowledge in both informed and
not-so-informed circles in Nigeria that the
Southeast benefited even more than the Southsouth
under Dr. Jonathan. It is on record that under the
then President Jonathan, rehabilitation and
expansion works were done on the Sam Mbakwe
International Cargo Airport (SMICA), Owerri, Imo
State, which he granted an international airport
status.

“In terms of appointment, Dr. Jonathan appointed
the first female Comptroller-General of Immigration,
Mrs. Rose Chinyere Uzoma (an Igbo). He also
appointed the first Southeast Chief of Army Staff,
Maj.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika and first Southeast
Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ogbonnaya
Onovo, among others.

“We are calling on the true Igbo leaders to caution
Nnamdi Kanu and to bridle his tongue, lest his
unguarded rhetoric may strain the good relationship
the Igbo and the Ijaw nation, and by extrapolation
the Southsouth and Southeast geopolitical zones,
have enjoyed over the years.”

Sarrki, you get mind to dey create thread to disprove what many gullible Nairalanders believe.
It is so sad that many of them neglect facts and choose to remain ignorant.

You have said it all. I do not agree with many actions & inactions of the presidency but I quite agree with you on this.

Save us the drama man. Where you not the one showing off your newly found love a day after separation.
You didn't think of the trauma your children will feel before you went Anthony Joshua on your wife.
Shove your apology in your ass

Hushpuppi Hushpuppi Hushpuppi. Someone hush the damn puppy up.

Invasion of this thread by NCAN members loading…

This looks like power play to me.
The Ohaneze feels threatened by the power drunk supreme leader who feels issuing out threats and ordering SIT at HOMEs would futher deepen the call for secession.

From the headlines he said "THOSE calling for restructuring". There should be emphasis on the subject "Those" .
I have not read the full details but based on the headlines it would be most unfortunate if we are to be ignorant.. I know we all love to hate anything APC but let's not be becloud our judgements .

dudebuck:
Biggest refinery my @ss, the existing refineries are in coma, and you are talking about biggest refinery, shove that nonsense up your rectum.

Just Shut the Bleep up and GOOGLE about the refinery.
How much volume does the existing and obsolete refineries refine per day?

No matter how you wanna view it currently I see only Lagos state picking up the pace because their economy is majorly private sector driven.
Other oil producing states in the SS would struggle a bit before they stabilize, due to politics, militancy, poor governance.
In the SW states closer to Lagos would also benefit.
As for the SE, do not deceive yourselves, what are you producing and where are the funds to build airports, dredge seaports etc?

EvilMetahuman:
fire kachikwu and some of buhari's ministers.
Especially:

-Cbn governor.
-Ministry of communication; that bearded ediot handling that ministry has to go.
-Ministry of finance.
-Agriculture.
-sport
-labour and productivity.
-ministry of foreign affairs.

Those ministers are just redundant




Fix our damn refineries so dangote won't be the only one giving us petrol in 2019.

What about our redundant & obsolete refineries?

EvilMetahuman:
Yes nothing.

But doesn't change the fact that monopoly is bad.

stop twisting arguement and focus.

No one said they should stop dangote from refining.

I asked what government is doing with our own refinery.

Dangote's refinery belongs to dangote, nigeria's refinery belong to nigerians.

What do you suggest they do?

dudebuck:
when Lizard grow hairs and fowls get teeth.

Dangote is building one of the biggest refineries in Africa. Do you know how much that would save us in foreign exchange? How many jobs are created, would be created and has been created? The effect it would have on our GDP? On the economy? On power generation?
Try to know more about any issue before commenting.

SaulRazor:
Yet you and your younger brother Dumebi are currently importing refined products into the country ..these people don't fear God

Don't cloud your judgement with hate and sentiments and hate. He is only admitting the fact that we are importing but we don't have a choice for now. Until modular refineries begin their operations.
