The headline of this post is misleading. Humanitarian pause does not mean aid withdrawal. It means allowing a window of opportunity where military action is suspended briefly so aids can come in.

Seun, what's the relevance of this news to Nigerians, and why is it on nairaland's front page?

Like Buhari shocked his supporters with his incompetence?

mrLhanray:
I remember during the three weeks orientation camp in Paiko, Niger several years ago. One man who addressed us said something similar.
That they produce electricity for the whole country, but the don't act entitled like those in South South that produces crude oil.
There are several ways to generate electricity, This Governor can't use this as bargaining chips. If you switch off Kainji and shiroro dams, other states especially southern state will seek other means to generate electricity. Dams can be constructed too

Not at all, they lied to you. They only produce 20% or more of power supplied to Nigeria. Niger Delta generates the other 70%.

This one must be a clown. Only 27% of power in Nigeria is generated through hydroelectricity of which their dam is a part. The other over 70% is generated through gas sourced from the Niger Delta.

[quote author=naptu2 post=126797737][/quote]You didn't state it that Jonathan rejected the proposal. You ended it with, "the government was roundly criticised". One would think they were the ones championing the idea and had to backtrack when the media raised a ruckus. Your article was either deliberately misleading or dwelled on half-truths.

Geminiivory:
Are nt you tired of being senseless on nairaland?

Acting senseless is what puts food on his table

naptu2, why did you not supply us with this information in your thread about the yatch? Did you forget?

Someone was married for almost four years and never knew where her husband lived in Lagos, never visited even once

mannobi:
To be candid, Sanwo-Olu tried with that reduction. And many people do not see it as a big deal. Just imagine i journeyed from abule egba to ikorodu on BRT with less than #500 a trip that cost me #1700 on the yellow busses.
Kudos to Lagos state government. This is the real palliative that gets to people not those nonsense rice being shared.

What has changed since the time when the fare was subsidized and now? Things have gone worse and purchasing power has plunged even further. Yet you think they "tried" now that they are taking it off and abandoning people to more suffering! Una like suffer too much .

God1000:
25.7 billion naira in 2023 at a time Nigerians are calling for diminution in cost of governance, and they cannot increase workers salaries.


Tinubu is doing the opposite of what people thought he would do, anybody defending this government is an enemy of progress

He is doing exactly what people with foresight thought he would do. Even a six year old could tell he was never up to any good.

Nazgul:
Let's assume that Israel is an occupying state, does that give Hamas the right to invade and kill them.

If you visit someone, and he attacks you in his house with a knife for no reason, won't you defend yourself? Would you allow him kill you simply because you're in his house?

Russia are beginning to sound like Tinubu's supporters.

Beginning? Lol, you came late to the party

Government of lies, propaganda, and agberoism

Tinubu bots desperately trying to dissuade people from emigrating after he has run the country aground.

Nigerian Railway, one useless project APC used to plunge Nigeria into humongous debt with nothing to show for it.

Kushites:
Are dropping bombs on residential buildings filled with innocent civilians not terrorism and war crimes in your CNN brainwashed head?

They presented that to you as “Israel defending itself” and your mumu head accepted that?

Would you accept the Nigerian army bombing entire neighbourhoods in your state because of the actions of a few?

Of course you will never accept it.

One rule for you, another rule for Palestinians.

Ekwensu.

If you like cry from today till tomorrow, Israel will keep bombarding terrorists in Gaza and there is nothing you can do about it.

Kushites:
IPOB terrorist now hates his fellow terrorists in Hamas.

Why, because they are Muslim?

He say na IPOB .

I'm not against Muslims, I'm against terrorists. If you are one, I'm against you too. Use your head nack wall

Kushites:
Yes it does.

You don’t represent Nigerians, you bloodthirsty demon yearning for the blood of innocent Palestinians.

You bloody alhalic terrorist!

Emperormartin:
She's going to lose many female fans just because of this statement

You obviously don't know Nigerian women . They would support anything that is against the norm even though they don't personally agree with it, so far it is coming from one of them.

2000 islamic terrorists released into the unsuspecting public! Nigeria sha

nairalanda1:
Well, the way I see it is simple

I know a lot of people would call me a Boko Haramist, which is amusing...I am not even a Muslim, but with people like Boko, we have two options...

That you keep denying your true identity anytime you need to make a post is what is more amusing.

The federal government does not represent the Nigerian people.

Are you normal?

Mynd44:
It should be noted that Ukraine abstained from voting.

What's worth noting about that?

Who is Nigerian UN ambassador? Dem don go vote rubbish on our behalves

nairalanda1:
You are free to believe what you want to believe

I guess everyone that does not agree with you is an APC supporter.

No, you in particular are a corn 🌽 eater, full stop!

nairalanda1:
You don't need to be an APC fanatic to know that the and clause was introduced because the fct is not a state but a territory. And in order to ensure that fct votes counted equally with other votes .

If the court ruled according to your interpretation, fct votes would be more important than other votes

But you are free to believe what you want to believe anyway

Good morning. A pox on both APC and PDP and a pox on LP. Nigeria deserves better.

You shouldn't be hypocritical but acknowledge your unholy romance with the plague that has ravaged this country, that's the point!

nairalanda1:
That ends that.

Look at this one that has been desperately trying to convince people he is not one of APC fanatics

seunmsg:
The $6b arbitration award was awarded during the Goodluck Jonathan administration. Stop lying over something that can be easily verified.

Your lie is very deliberate. Jonathan had an out of court settlement to pay P&ID $850million and he even expressed dissatisfaction with the humongous amount. He however delayed payment because he was leaving office. Your Buhari came in and ignored the entire proceedings. Doubt he was even aware because he had no ministers for six months. And even after that, Nigeria had no representative when the company decided to go back to court which resulted in an additional $2.3bn in interests, making it $8.9billion.

You should know you cannot swoon everyone in your lies. APC is a failure, Buhari is, and so is Tinubu.

seunmsg:
The truth is that a lot of Nigerians are exactly like the greedy officials that sold out the country for peanuts to P&ID. Corruption know no politicial parry, religion or ethnicity. It is simply endemic among Nigerians. This very sad case happened under Yar'adua/Jonathan. Today, these two former leaders are praised as saints. If not for the effort of Buhari and Malami in particular, this scam against Nigeria would have been successful as the Jonathan administration was already discussing payment terms before Buhari took over.

In fact, the kind of bashing Buhari, Tinubu and APC would have gotten if Nigeria had lost the case would have been deafening. Atiku, Obi, Rufai and other haters of Nigeria would have been falling on each other in a struggle to see who can come up with the most asinine statement against the APC government. Today, they are all quiet and pretending like nothing significant was achieved.

Nigeria shall continue to win over all her enemies.

If you do not have selective amnesia you will recall that it was the laxity of the Buhari-led government that cost the nation the initial $6billion award. That deal was struck by Northern cabals in control of the government at the time Yar'adua was ailing on his behalf and possibly with his consent. GEJ saw the folly of the contract and entered into dispute with it until he left office. Buhari got in and abandoned the whole process until the received the shocking $6bn award which raised outcry before they took action.

Every bashing against Buhari, Tinubu, and APC is therefore justified as they have colluded together to plunge Nigerians into hopelessness.

Doubleoh7:
And assuming this is an 'attack', what made it criminal to warrant what she has been subjected to by Erisco? My point is, how the company responded to this is so wrong in many fronts. Innoson had a recent similar attack by one guy on twitter, how all the IVM vehicles his father bought have all packed up. IVM only had to reach out to the guy to come substantiate his claims and guess what, he backtracked and deleted all tweets and claimed he was hacked. There was no need to arrest and harrass the guy with security agents. Sometime ago, can't remember which year was that, indomie had similar attack launched, claiming then that a young guy died immediately after consuming their noodles. They followed it up immediately, even asked the family to please conduct autopsy on the guy, started doing public shows of cooking and consuming indomie noodled, today they are still standing strong with their brand. No be everything be giri die. Unfortunately, Mr Erisco lacks tact and seems to either surround himself with only praise singers or just the usual stubborn head traders that won't heed to advise

You can't dictate to him how to respond. Defamation is still a criminal offence and that lady did just that. He chose to take the channel of the law by reporting to the police, which is justifiable. If she was maltreated or assaulted while in custody, her dispute should be with the police, not Erisco. We get away with too much, that is why every Jack and Jane can come online to write things they can't substantiate just to have a field day.
