IPOB will be destroyed if they attempt to cross over into Cross River

Who will destroy them, you?

Only 7 wives

What is he coming back to do?

Agitations in grand styles. Yorubas agitating for true federalism and restructuring. Biafra condemned northern oligarchy and marginalization of certain group by the same people. What is the difference......the mention of Biafra? All realities are one.

Ibadan? I taught Ibadan is Yorubaland? Complaining like others.

Advice for wisdom is meant for people not dogs. Hushpuppi is a young dog. Dogs are dog. Puppies are dogs.

GeneralOjukwu:

Yes, they are not Igbos. ..that's why it's surprising they (with Dino & Saraki - ALL Yorubas) are now Lords & Leaders of your tribe.

Don't you have leaders apart from those begging in Kaduna ?

supporter of evil read this. Useless blind man......The European Union (EU) Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Mr Michel Arrion says EU will not increase its financial assistance to Nigeria.

Arrion made this known in Abuja while delivering a Distinguished Lecture organised by the IBB Golf Club, with the theme “40 years of European union in Nigeria: Lessons learned and the way forward”.


The ambassador who said that EU was not promising further assistance to Nigeria however said that Nigeria remains EU key partner in view of the role it plays in global affairs.

The envoy also stressed that the Union would scale up its efforts towards the country’s institutional, political and economic development for a more prosperous future.

He said that Nigeria could not be said to be poor, as it is has enough resources to meet its developmental needs.

While expressing concern that on the economic level of the country Arrion called for a more equitable distribution of the nation’s wealth to ensure growth and stability and unleash its enormous economic potentials.


Arrion explained that the combine aides to the country were about ten per cent of the country’s annual budget.

According to him, the Official Development Assistance (ODA) flow in Nigeria is about 2.5 billion dollars yearly, which correspond roughly to about 10 per cent of the federal budget (N7,3trillion or 24 billion dollars).

This, he said has raised the question of should EU continue to give aide to Nigeria.?

Arrion, however said the regional block would scale up its efforts towards the country’s institutional, political and economic development for a more prosperous future.

“We are not offering more financial support, we are proposing more political and policy dialogue, technical assistance, capacity building, training, transfer of technology.

We also proposing more advocacies for more private investments and other innovative sources of funding,” the EU envoy said.

The envoy therefore called for improving in tax collection to finance the development of the country.


According to him Nigeria must find alternative funding to ODA including improved tax collection which must be improved at least five times more and also spend better.
Quoting Price Water Cooper (PwC 2016), he said: “Nigeria collects about N5.5 trillion or 18 billion dollars per year.

“About 10 million people (10 per cent of adult population) are registered for personal income tax (half of them in Lagos).

“The rate of VAT compliance by registered entities is about 12 per cent. The rate is lower for corporate income tax nine per cent.”

He also said Nigeria must attract more foreign investment five times more, to reach the level of Angola or Vietnam for instance and put in place more and better Public Private Partnerships.

Arrion said the evolution of vibrant relationship of equal partners between Nigeria and the EU was founded on shares values and aspirations and mutual trust.

According to him EU in its 40 years of engagement with Nigeria has identified development priorities, funded projects to stimulate the Nigeria’s economy, reduce hunger and disease.


He said that the union had also helped to enhance institutional capacities, strengthen governance and fight insecurity in Nigeria.

Your own case is worst. We're watching and listening to the movies

MasterChen:
Y'all potor clowns better just "jejely" enjoy your thread before we pee on it. The thread has nothing to do with Yorubas and I wouldn't even have posted anything If you didn't mention Yoruba

Yorubas would be minding their business before you dummies call us out. And y'all expect us to watch

We don't give a fook about your agitations bar some idiotic trolls here . Let it be known

Embrace the truth about Hausa oligarchy. Ffk and Gov. Fayose are not Igbos

Plan to make Osinbajo president will fail - A coalition of Arewa Youths said

"Having given power to the Yoruba on a platter of gold in 1999 as a way of compensating them for the June 12 saga, it is quite worrisome and unfortunate that they have lived up to their legendary reputation of backstabbing and betrayal by supporting the divisive calls for restructuring or dismemberment of the nation against the will and desire of the north," the statement said. "We gave the late Chief MKO Abiola the mandate in 1993 but shortly after that, as it is with the Yoruba as a culture, they immediately started circling around Abiola plotting on how to emasculate the north and strip us of every access we had to the politics and economy of this nation. “They had also raised a secret army of their elites to carry out these sinister plans against the north if Abiola eventually became president. It was this army that was unleashed on the nation in the guise of NADECO during the June 12 impasse.

May we remind the Yoruba that without the willingness and magnanimity of the north, there was no way Abiola could have purportedly won that election, and that all the Yoruba have now as assets in the south west, especially Lagos, were given to them by our leaders out of our own usual magnanimity. However, time and time again, the Yoruba have always turned their back on us whenever their support is needed.

Chai what a nation. Is this comedy or realities

sapele914:
Buhari addressed who?are you a muslim, were you celebrating ramadan to?Please tell me why the catholic church speaks latin in their prayers?

You're the most naive person ever. Why are other nationals on Ramadan holidays if they are not supposed to understand the presidential messages for the nation during Ramadan. Not all Muslims understand Hausa language. Arabic and Hausa languages are not the same. You better think before you talk.

Epositive:
ffk just pointed out the major problem we're facing in this county, his facts are prickly arranged that i had to commend him for it.

but my question is, had it been he was made a minister in this current administration, would he have done this?



#positivevibes

His an opposition anyway

victorvezx:
95% of Nigerians have heard and know where Niger delta is. Whether igbos are there changes nothing. There are many tribes there too. It is very distinct from the south east. South south is Edo, Rivers state, Delta state, Akwa ibom state, Bayelsa state, and cross river state. The real Niger Delta is Delta state, Akwa ibom state, Rivers state and Bayelsa. Imo state, Ondo state and Abia state where only included in Niger delta by Obasanjo as oil producing states, they are not real Niger delta in the sense of it

Your myopic mind didn't allow you to mention Anambra state in your "how I wish" comment.

I actually red comments to see the numbers of Yorubas and Hausas capable of saying something about this statement from or by the army.

Viergeachar:
Paul Unongo is a typical Hausa-Fulani slave.

Kudos to Awolowo for preventing Zik from becoming premier in the West.

Let the Biafra be....

oladeebo:
For what reason you want Nigeria dea for your region!
if you are intolerant to the Nigeria diversity, why can't you just stay at home and rule your local?

You can't stop it. Restructuring is imminent

Phoenix619:
He addressed only muslims. Which is funny considering there are Yoruba muslims as well that don't understand hausa. Maybe he doesn't consider them muslims enough.

Forget about S.E, the 5% formula was applied here

Nothing like Yoruba Muslims. If people of Kaduna is not considered as Muslims how much more Yorubas?

oladeebo:
to be ruled by who? the same politicians that ruled this system down?

Did you actually read my comment. If Nigeria is restructured power will be shifted from the center to regions or states where people shall have access to their own resources.

You fell to provide or suggest meaningful way to make Nigeria great. Nigeria have never tested greatness because our executives council from inception is not based on merit rather by ethic and religious sentiments. One region who believe that power is their birthright have actually murdered Nigeria.
Restructuring is the way forward. Let every state or region control it's resources and develop/maintain infrastructures , economy and human resources within their jurisdiction. Invasion by Western powers is suicidal.

Osita Okechukwu of VON going by the content of his words is speaking peace but to my personal assessment he sounds superficial.

GeneralOjukwu:
.... I agree!
Now go and cry more

https://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/michael-jordan-laugh.gif

Hahahahahahahaha...you lack words. Sorry ooo

janykute:
I tire oo,Helping the igbos to fight or what?Since when has their sitting on the fence become a help to the igbos?

Hahahahahahahaha..abi my brother.

GeneralOjukwu:
Great comment!

Falana should have minded his business. Yorubas always defend those useless IPOBs and get insulted in return.

They should learn to leave them at the mercy of Ab0ki who love turning them to suya

I believe you are unreasonably Stu.pid. Ipob have never seek for your weak support. They Igbos are confident. Nigeria must be restructured or disintegrated. Falana challenged Yerima because he understands. You're in one face me- face you typing rubbish. only "Sat at home" and heated the whole nation. We don't need Falana either. Keep your support for yourselves. You still gonna need support. Nonsense

GworoChewinMaga:
I support the ab0ki on this.

Falana is a very silly idiot who doesn't know when to shutup

Keep supporting aboki on this. The main objective of this quarrel is omitted because of its legal consequence.

Dycaptain:
What the hell is wrong with this guy, he is doing igbo's no good at all, does he want them to loose their lives and properties, he better think twice o

How is that your problem. Igbos are not complaining. Federal government should not keep ignoring them. Round table discussion must be encouraged, equity applied.
How can northern youths warn that they cannot allow presidency for the south. Are we voting for region or competence. What kind of people are we mingling with? Unrepentant souls. Are the southerners slaves to the north? They have listed 11 candidates for presidency, no SE,SS or SW yet we shout "one Nigeria" . Nigeria president is now by appointment instead of nomination and election. Wise up guys. This is beyond Yoruba Igbo disagreement.

honeychild:
It's better for them to call their mad dog Nnamdi Kanu to order instead of running around the North like headless chickens.

Go home, draw your pikin ear, discipline him and send him back to London. Not to be running around the North unity-begging.

Yeye elders who kept quiet when their untrained son was ranting like a lunatic.

Idleness is innate in you

deedeedee1:
I dont understand that man again. It is like he is worshipping the sultan. The man is behaving like a slave

He us indeed a slave. In clear observation he has no point neither opinion. He is a representative of caucus .

deedeedee1:
This osinbajo just dey vex me. Let there be referendum in the constitution. Nigeria is too diverse not to have one. We cant be denying the truth when it is staring us right in our face. We dont like ourselves. This is the truth.
And to think this man is a pastor. With his lies. If you are a pastor dont join politics.
There is nothing like "one nigeria". If we are one, we wont need to say it.
I have never heard of "one yoruba" before. This is because we are one and we dont need to say it

As far as am consigned President Osinbanjo made no point for the first time. He only sang praises to sultan and confrères.
Call spade a spade Brr. Prof. Yemi Osinbanjo.
Tell the northern elders and leaders to change their mindset and tribalistic nature for the future of the nation Nigeria. Making them to believe that one Nigeria is existing is an error to the unity on this nation. Thankyou.

This half baked reporters keep repeating statements.

Hopeful20100:
If illiterate Buhhari can sit next to Obama and world leaders, then PEJ can.

Hahahahahahahaha. Brother today Na Sunday abeg. I nowan laugh..lol

Stop buying cigarette

Hopeful20100:
Not just the most qualified academically, but someone who can move policies without fear or intimidated. I would rather have Patience as president, and Okonjo Iweala back as finance minister or foreign affairs minister. I assure you...no bagger will intimate Patience Jonathan.

Well am not gonna argue with you because I am not on ground. But going by personal qualities and expatriates Ngozi is academically sound with vast experience in management having worked in so many international administrative units. Presidency supercedes agility and brevity. Patience may face technical intimidation seating in the same council with likes of Putin of Russia and Natheyahu of Israel. Think of it.
