Any advice you know could be useful to me please; such as how to get good breed, how to get buyers, how t get a place to rent, etc. Or is there any other profitable (farming) business you think I can do with my 200k? I hav no any land presently. Thanks.

President Goodluck Jonathan has read the riot act to perpetrators of the post-presidential election violence in some states of the north warning that they will all be made to face the full weight to the law.

According to him, enough is enough.
Jonathan who described the crisis as shocking said as the President, he has the solemn duty to defend the constitution of this country.
“That includes the obligation to protect the lives and properties of every Nigerian wherever they choose to lives,” he said.

President Jonathan, who disclosed that he has ordered the deployment of security personnel to troubled parts as well as the reinforcement of security in all parts of the country vowed to “defend the right of all citizens to freely express their democratic choice anywhere in this country; to enjoy every freedom and opportunity that this country can offer without let or hindrance.

“I assure all Nigerians that I will do so with all powers at my disposal as President, Commander-in-Chief.
“I have ordered the deployment of security personnel to troubled parts of the country. I have also directed the reinforcement of security in all parts of the country.” He said in view of the condemnable attacks on the Youth Corps members, he has directed all governors to take personal responsibility for their security and safety in the states where they serve.

“I have directed that the perpetrators of these dastardly acts of violence and all those who seek to continue to breach the peace and stability of this nation must be fished out and made to face the full weight of the law.
“In this regard, a Judicial Commission of Inquiry will be constituted to look into the immediate and remote causes of this recent tide of unrest.” He urged all Nigerians to remain law abiding even as he appealed to parents to take full charge of their wards.

“We must not allow anybody to use innocent youth as cannon fodder for the ambitions of a few. Let us preserve the sanctity of the lives and future of all of our children”, he said. Jonathan emphasized that these disturbances were more than mere political protests. “Clearly, they aim to frustrate the remaining elections. This is not acceptable.”
He on behalf of all Nigerians, expressed his heart-felt condolences to the victims of the violence.

“I lament the loss of lives, destruction of means of livelihood, the burning of homes and places of worship
“I appeal to all members of the political class, leaders of thought and traditional rulers to continue to put our national interest first at this critical time. “Particularly, I call on our religious leaders not to use the sacredness of our places of worship to promote messages that could lead to hate, disharmony and disaffection. Rather, we must all at this time join hands and support INEC in ensuring a successful conclusion of the commendable work which they started.”

While appealing communities around the country to show restraint in the face of provocation,the bpresident-elect urged all Nigerians to remain steadfast in prayers for peace and tranquility in the country. He assured all that calm was being restored in troubled parts of the country and restated that the elections scheduled for next Tuesday would go on as planned.

“All Nigerians should therefore go about their businesses without fear and exercise their franchise on April 26th to vote for candidates of their choice in the next round of elections. “To those who persist in sowing the seeds of discord, I say –You may hurt and bring grief to some innocent families momentarily, but you will never succeed in stopping our transformational journey: a journey that will lead this country, by the grace of God, to emerge stronger, more prosperous and more united.

He called on to join hand together to build a nation in which we all live in peace; “where the bonds of our common aspirations and goals will spur and re-energize our resolve towards greatness. A nation where our children from North and South, East and West will grow with hope and live together as brothers, sisters and friends. Let us always remember that we are all part of a shared destiny.”

Sometimes one wonders if these Hausa/Fulani fanatics don't have the same brain as their cows. No human being takes pleasure in killing fellow humans!

A dramatic 24 hours in the presidential race reached a climax yesterday after Nuhu Ribadu, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) flag bearer, expressed regret for agreeing to step down for his Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) counterpart, Muhammadu Buhari.

On a frenetic day of alliance talks, there were several twists and turns before the deal eventually collapsed. Mr. Ribadu had, during an intense moment in the discussions, agreed to dump his presidential ambition in order for the long mooted coalition to work.

The collapse of the alliance means that Mr. Ribadu is going into Saturday’s presidential election with what will seem like little conviction amongst his supporters. In a message sent to NEXT, Mr. Ribadu conceded that the reversal would have a lasting impact on his future prospects.

“This is the way this thing has been going all through,” he said. “I know the damage they have done to me personally, but I leave that to God.”

Sources at the three day meeting between the ACN and the CPC caucus said that on Tuesday, a decision had been made by Mr. Ribadu in which he accepted to step down for Mr. Buhari for the April 16 election.

“He was surprisingly cool about it all,” said an ACN delegate at the meeting.

“He said it has never been a do or die affair with him and he was willing to leave the race so that the alliance will work.”

Mr. Buhari and a former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, led the discussions for their respective sides. Mr. Buhari had reportedly been eager for the meeting to succeed but was unwilling to back down on certain points, including the idea that Mr. Tinubu becomes his vice president.

Mr. Ribadu said he was willing to sacrifice his ambition but others at the meeting were not so selfless.

“We have done our part. I have agreed to step down. We have sacrificed for the country. And they won’t even sign a simple letter?” he lamented.

The letter that ended a hope

After three days of intense deliberations, the parties finally reached a consensus on all the outstanding points. They agreed to field a single candidate, CPC’s Muhammadu Buhari, in the election; that ACN’s Nuhu Ribadu will immediately announce he was no longer running; that the ACN will campaign vigorously for Mr. Buhari’s candidacy, especially in the south west where it has such a great influence; that although it is too late to field another running mate for Mr. Buhari, Tunde Bakare, the CPC vice presidential candidate, will step down immediately after the election; that Mr Tinubu will not be allowed to replace him but may nominate those who would; that Mr Buhari reserved the final right to choose from among the list of three candidates that Mr. Tinubu submits.

Mr Tinubu, whose vice presidential ambition had also been blamed for the collapse of previous talks, immediately named three people for the job. They are Yemi Osinbajo a former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Mr Tinubu’s administration, Yemi Cardoso, who was Mr Tinubu’s budget commissioner and a former Lagos State finance commissioner, Wale Edun.

Although Mr. Bakare had agreed to these terms, he balked when the ACN delegates insisted he signed a post dated resignation letter to seal the deal. He vehemently refused to append his signature to such a document. According to a source, it was at this point that the overnight meeting, which went on till 2am, reached an impasse.

The ACN refused to take Mr Bakare’s word that he will abide by the meeting’s decision. “How else could they make sure that he would not back out later?” said a former governor who was also a facilitator at the meeting.

No alliance anymore

The ACN delegates, who at this point were visibly aggrieved by the CPC, quickly started some damage control. The party’s national chairman, Bisi Akande issued a statement assuring its supporters that the party has not entered into any alliance with the CPC.

“We as party that believes in democratic values have therefore decided that in the overall interest of the parties involved, our democracy as well as our country, it is better for each of the parties to go into the presidential election on its own platform,” he said.

Also smarting from the breakdown in discussions, Bunmi Aborishade, the coordinator, Team Ribadu USA Convener, Ribadu for Nigeria Coalition said, “Please note that the alliance talk between the ACN and the CPC to field a single candidate finally broke down yesterday because Buhari/CPC reneged on the earlier agreement that the party with the highest number of seats in the National Assembly elections would produce the presidential candidate for the two parties.”

A small window

However, Rotimi Fashakin, the CPC spokesman, said talks were ongoing. “I really don’t know when you get that information. Talks are ongoing and 10 minutes in politics can make a lot of difference so, don’t rely on the information you got 45 minutes ago. I believe that all the impediments have been removed.”

When asked if the two parties have finally agreed to go into the election together and settled all differences, he said: “I believe so.”

Mr. Akande similarly left open a small window of opportunity.

“If at the end of the election on Saturday there is no clear winner we will make a decision on which way to go, in the overriding interest of all Nigerians,” he said.

Contradiction, it is his party that rules. He is only 1 man. If he wins his tenure will be defined by his party and not him. He admitted to the US diplomats that he was not equipped for the job. Those flocking around him now are opportunists and boy-o-boy aren't they having a GRAND BALL at our expense!

What have u to say about IBB, Ciroma, Abdulsalam, etc, rallying support 4 Buhari? I think we should be wise!

All of u canvassing for Buhari are doing that ignorantly, I'm sure! Buhari stands 4 what an average Housa/Fulani believes: they are born to rule. If u watched Aljazeela 2day,around 4:20pm, u will agree wit m. Buhari is a northern candidate. I know u will say "Bakare"; but tell me what u think Bakare knows about politics. I believe in change but not a change that I will later regret. I BELIEVE IN JONATHAN, even though I dislike PDP. God bless Nigeria.

President Goodluck Jonathan has dismissed the anti-corruption posturing of presidential candidates of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Muhammadu Buhari, and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, saying their submissions on the issue at the Presidential debate on Friday were hypocritical and self-serving.

The Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a statement on why President Jonathan was absent at the debate, urged the presidential candidates to desist from selling wrong images about themselves, stating that evidence detailing their misdemeanour and unwholesome conduct in the past abound to prove that they were not the innocent politicians they claim to be.

In the statement issued by Director of Research and Strategy of the PCC, Mike Omeri, he noted that it would have been more acceptable if Buhari and Ribadu limited their campaign promises to the manifestoes of their respective political parties and the personal agenda they have for the country rather than portraying themselves as apostles of anti-corruption, which they are not. The council said the antecedents of the two self-acclaimed anti-corruption ‘stars’ had proved they had had their hands soiled with acts of corruption when they were in government.

It threatened to expose the two presidential candidates and match them action for action in their avowed commitment to dent the image of President Goodluck Jonathan with the lies they had been peddling against him.
Omeri recalled that in 1984 General Buhari exhibited double standard in public administration by allowing 52 suit cases suspected to be filled with hard currency through his ADC into Nigeria without passing through the customs checkpoint for the usual mandatory customs clearance.

He said the development was a clear case of money laundering. “And we wonder what moral right such a candidate had to talk about anti- corruption”. The statement further said the case of Nuhu Ribadu, the erstwhile chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), was more shocking. According to the PCC, in 2007, while answering questions from the Senate on the alleged acts of corruption by some governors, Ribadu pointedly said that the corruption of former governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu, was “of international dimension”.

It added, “Is it not curious that the same person with such a tag is now the political godfather of Ribadu and sole financier of his political campaigns?
“To also show Ribadu’s lack of faith in the anti-corruption fight, he recently said and we quote: “I won’t bother myself with the integrity of politicians that would fund my campaign. I will take corrupt politicians money for my campaign as far as the money is not put in my pocket.”

“What kind of role model is Ribadu and how can Nigerians believe him if he says he would jail corrupt politicians if he emerges the country’s president?

“Ribadu, by such posturing, has given Tinubu a clean bill of health, which is not only hypocritical, but evidence that given the same opportunity he would not have done better than the governors he had indicted.

Fhemmmy:
What is the cost involved in all these . . . . .

The cost depends on the materials u intend 2 use and how many fish u want 2 start with. Assuming u want to use an open plastic tank and intend to start with about 300 - 400 fingerings, about 60k - 65k is all u need.

Ibro Idris of kogi is the WORST!!!

Ebira girls are really beautiful and respectful but very stubborn.

need details pls. 08079157606

That report is untrue and nonsense! How would maless not outnumber females when all hausa cows bear male names! That census was rubbish and I don't accept any statitics based on it.

Osu is not just limited 2 Igbos in Nigeria. Edo state and Kogi also also hav people they call outcasts. I'm from Kogi state (Ebira) and it's still a serious case till 2day. Many families do not still allow their children 2 marry them. But I think religion will take care of it wit time, because I dn't see anybody tell me not to marry a girl I luv 4 nonsense reason like that. Anyone who is in Christ is a new creature. That is my faith!

Anyari eche nini o!

Adavi-Eba, Kogi state

I will invest it in farming. I will establish a farm bigger dan obj own. I will build storage facilities 4 tubers, grains, fruits and vegetables.

My candid advice 4 ur uncle is 2 keep d money in d bank first. He should go 2 a farm he knows; if possible, obj farm or any other one and spend a month. He will not need advice 2 know what 2 do with his money. I still prefer farming, say fish farming, poultry keeping, grasscutter farming, pig farming, etc, 2 most other businesses or investments. If properly managed, the risk is very low, prifit high, market av available , I wish him all d best.
