Billyonaire:
First off, the people writing this are Illegal Oil Bunkerers. They are afraid that the game is up for them. The Security Contract was awarded to a "company owned by a Tompolo and not a Tompolo that owns a company. So the company has rights to import equipments that will enable them to fight bunkering by the high and the mighty.

National Security is not at risk because of the fight against pyrates, but is marred by not fighting pyracy.

For those who say it threatens the other ethnic groups; Are these ethnic groups like boats, ship and fishes living in water ? It is laughable to lay this kind of accusations. I advise that the Oil wells licenses be revoked and be reissued to only communities that own these wells, cos even in USA, Oil wells belong to individual and communities that own the land that the wells are drilled.

Happy Sun God Day.

True talk, most people never leave their village so they know not how these things work all dem post is based on tribal and regional sentiments.

I don't like the depth to which Nigeria has descended to, How on earth do you award 'Maritime Contract' to an ex-militant(or so they would have us believe) for hundreds of millions of dollars, that money could equip your Navy which was supposed to do the work in the first place. We must say enough to this madness.


Sidebar: Someone once said it is Jonathan's destiny to bankrupt this country, Oil prices have dropped from around $115 to $55 it is expected to fall further, My question is where is all our savings from the 'oil boom' days. As an economist I'll tell you there is need for a bottom-up reform and in my opinion Jonathan is incapable of providing that. Buhari has my vote he stabilized it in 1983 without borrowing a dime before the ill-fated Babangida regime.

I dont know how old you where 1983 but do you mean to say Life back then was better than now, if so take a look back to waht you street looked like 1983, tell me howmany people had teh basics,howmany cars where in your street? this might sound stupid but Im using the ABC of Economics here

Aiyekooto:
This defines the cluelessness we've all been talking about.
"Cluelessness is when a president chooses MEND and OPC to guard it's territorial waters instead of the Nigerian Navy".

wen dem tell una 2 travel small so yu can get civilised U say No,U see your life now?the western world rely on private firms for its security.Google G4S and Serco etc

BabaEleko:
I can't wait for Buhari to put all these criminals behind bars where they belong.

who amongst them is not a criminal even the so called GMB, was he not a formal dictator who came into power by force?

adrainuche:
Stop saying War Ships Abeg!!!

Do you know what a war ship is Hw many. War ships does Nigeria Navy Have you think a war ship is 2 million naira, that Fishing vessel and you guys are calling War Ship!!!

me sef tire, the guy just buy more vessel to improve his operation men dey shout WAR ship more like Gun Boat.

blemon44:
why do people go to war?
why do people kill people?
why do Nigeria have bad government??

Cos someone stands to gain from all three you mentioned.

justi4jesu:
They should keep paying those militants and allow Graduates to be unemployed.


Nigeria is the only country where an individual is awarded contract to oversee the security of the coastline of a nation with powers to import warships and sophisticated arms.

Anyway GEJ Till 2019

My friend stop talking Rubbish and get better informed,travel a bit and broaden ur knowledge in these matters so you don't embarrass yourself in this way,Google G4s and see how they protect the Uk and what level of security they provide round the world, they are private so in other words its only Nigeria who failed to employ private security operatives.

korel9:
@ Op, nice thread but no hating intended. Don't you think I'll earn more than that rate if I invest my money in a quick business within d 30days period?

Yes but the risk in them biz is way higher than that of Banks

dre11:
This shows that he has nothing to hide

Not like our GEJ

One of the arround 150 cows

Only that the hissing is louder in some cars.

It is not Normal.

u must be sick upstair if answer to dat simple question can give u problem

U are worse than I thought, the pill 4 ur ill is 200 years away, only likes in ur skin would ask if one owns such entity

wirinet:
How will he feel things written about him ain't true if the book had not been published for him to read? and if the book was already published why did the court court grant an injunction against publishing the book?.

Since he has the right to file a civil suit against OBJ for defamation of character after reading the already published book, why not go ahead and actually file the civil suit? why beat around the bush by filling a restraining order after the book had already been published and then filling a contempt charge?

If the content of OBJ's my watch is libelous against Mr Kashamu, he will be a very rich man soon.

That my friend is how the Legal system works,mind U, not everything inside teh Book is false, i can bet %60 of it is spot on howver OBJ removed himself from that %60

onatisi:
yes,it is very possible but it will have more negative effect in an economy like nigeria own. We aren't a manufacturing country and I think to a large extent it is good to have a devalued currency to a dollar so as to be able to produce goods cheaper. I maybe be wrong though maybe some economist here will be able to throw more light on this issue

Its never and would never be possible, Only Market forces can creat this, the only physical currency change that can happen by pronunciation is devaluation.Even china with the highest growth don't have same value as the Dollar.America with all its mights still trade at £1.56 to a $1, don't eh US do all that you mentioned?

Tlovely:
u no well,.. must u always be sarcastic... ur hatred has robbed u blind of common sense..tell me wat evil dat man has said..n how impossible that can be..because u dnt know any beta..if na u talk like that n u ar put off d way u jst did..shey u go lyk am..?.. bad belle

How Old are yoU? Name one president in the whole world who has said they are going to make their money equal to the Dollar

Kia we don die, so this is what these politicians take us for?How cheap? did he say how he was going to do it? or is his fathers name now Forieng or currency exchange mumu of the highest order

slightlyMad:
this is democracy, there should be freedom of speech
in case you forgot, we chose GEJ to lead us, so there is nothing selfish about criticizing his method of governance.
GEJ is a normal person like me and you who BEGGED us to vote so he could get there.

How would you react if you read the Book and somewhere it says your Dad is not your Dad and you done DNA ur Dad is truly ur Dad, would you take him to court or not?

sosereal201:
How will a court of law come out with this sort of judgment in the first instance. Does it mean OBASANJO or any other citizen can not exercise their fundamental rights anymore?the book is directed at individuals and not the nation itself so I wonder the offence he has committed to warrant his arrest or the seizure of the book. This clearly shows the world that the court is being sponsored by some individuals.Very bad for the judicial system of our nation.

An Individual already challenged his claims hence its in court, this has nothing to do with GEJ however if he feels things writing about him aint true he has the right to file a civil suit against OBJ and so do you and I.U can start with defamation of character just to mention a few.

jeje123:
who is d owner of high court if i may ask?

Your question is soooooooo stupid it lacks any sort of rational thinking.

TWO DECISIONs THAT FINISHED GOV UDUAGHAN's DREAM FOR MR TONY OBUH
1) UPU's Involvement in PDP Primaries:
The UPU's involvement in Partisan (PDP) Politics at the Pre-PDP Primaries which lasted for almost 4Months is what really helped Sen Okowa to clinch the Gov Ticket yesterday. Hence, Gov Uduaghan would have peacefully had his way if not for the constant/consistent pressure from UPU and the Delta Central of their demands.
2) UPU Endorsement of David Edebvie:
From the Onset, people like me new David would not sail through because of His rôle in the Yar Adua saga against GEJ. So, he was never going to get Fédéral support. The moment he was endorsed, we new a fundamental/deliberate mistake had been made by UPU to frustrate further the Gov Uduaghan Dream for Tony Obuh.
This two décisions in disguise created a level playing ground for Sen Okowa, & resulted to his victory in yesterdays' PDPs' primaries.
I will not say much for the rest is now history, but I will humbly request that Delta North should not celebrate in Isolation of UPUs' rôle.
Reason:
If not for the rôle of UPU; the only known body/group in Delta State that fought Gov Uduaghan to failure, Delta North would not have had the chance of having their best & widely accepted son, in the person of Sen Okowa winning PDPs' primaries.
Finally, though the journey to the Government House is still far ahead, but at least all candidates now available to Deltans (Great Ogboru, Chief O'tega, & Sen Okowa) are widely accepted from the Grass root youth to the Ordinary Mother/Father in the Streets of Delta State. This is what we want. This is what the UPU and entire Delta Central made possible for all Deltans.
Congratulations to Sen (Dr) I Okowa, as PDPs' flag bearer in Delta State.
Long Live UPU
Long Live Delta Central
Long Live The Urhobo Nation
Long Live Delta State
Long Live our Great Party PDP: Power to All.

you shame me as an isoko man, so because you came from Okpe isoko, then you are from Okpe? I can't believe it, which local government is Okpe isoko? Isoko and Urhobo are two very different tribes, Isoko is Isoko and Urhobo is Urhobo,one is south and the other is central....thank you.

u are worse than a pry school pupil to educate.I have tried and tried.I told U okpe come from Isoko frm a place called Okpe Isoko.U chise to Ignolre that.I even showed U a link from urhobi Jo al about the history of the Urhobos U failed to read it.or do U access via mobile fones?The history of the people of the Urhobo Nation is a well documented history available on the Net amd on UPU websites n Jonal cant U read? And comprehend

cheruv:
if you Urobos have 25LGs how many then does delta have?

I av answered this queation in my previos post plz check

komek:
That's true because the Urhobos have been able to buy the conscience of our pple. If the Ikas and the Ukwuanis would play the politics of majority and believe that "Uba bu ike" I see no reason why we cannot continue winning the governorship position in Delta state with 9 LG out of 25.

did U see howmany LGAs the Urhibos occupy?did U also check howmany fedral constituency do they spread accross

pazienza:
I know that Okpe is one of the original 19 clans of Isoko. But for all intent and purposes, Okpe seem to have become Urhobo.

Okpe is not a language, Okpe is a dialect.


And i never said that Okpe people are only found in Okpe LGA.

Im telling u if U agree okpe is part of Urhobo then Isoko is.Im just trying to be Logical.okpe n Isoko r same.we have same names and I have my roots traced bck there.Then u av to check who was the last UPU president b4 this o e.he is an Okpe Man

Sacramento4real:
if you are a Deltan or resides in Delta state,then you should be abreast with the latest happening in the state.There has been a cold war between the Former governor,Chief James Onanefe Ibori and Governor Uduaghan.I put it to you that its not out of love for the Anioma or Delta north that Uduaghan had insisted that the next governor of the state should come from that senatorial district.If it was,why did he dumped Tony Obuh,his anointed candidate at the last minute and projected an Urhobo man in the person of Mr. David Edevbie?Yet all these while,he has insisted that Urhobo shouldn't produce the next Governor.
All these while,Uduaghan had wanted to destroy the political structure of Ibori.He knew those politicians that are dire-hard supporters of Ibori.He never wanted such people to be the next Governor.He went as far as bribing the Urhobo Progressive Union (UPU) with 1 million dollars to support an urhobo Aspirant,in the person of Mr. David Edevbie at the die minute,Cause he is not a member of the Ibori's political family.But trust the Urhobos,they knew all along his plans.They showed him that they aren't fools.Though some of them voted for his aspirant,some others voted for Senator Okowa.iT was from his London prison that Ibori was making calls to his loyalists to line up behind Senator Ifeanyi Okowa.Uduaghan's aspirant came a distance second.Uduaghan is an ingrate who needs to go to jail.As it is now,he is politically finished in delta state.He can no longer contest any election in delta state again.He has no support base!No political structure!No good will from even his own itsekiri ethnic group.I put it to you that Ibori has the interest of the Anioma at heart even more than Uduaghan.Why did he opt for an Urhobo aspirant at the dieing minute?While he dumped the Anioma people,Ibori picked them up.So now,who should be considered to be a man of equity between Uduaghan and Ibori?In a free and fair election,Uduaghan cannot win a senate election.He is so unpopular in his state.Even his ethnic group has told him the the Ibori's administration favoured the more than his own.So what are we talking about.When your home rejects you,what do you expect from outsiders?

you r well Informed my friend.

Guy I come from Okpe Isoko so if waht you saying is true that means teh Okpes are not urhobos,have you checked teh structure of UPU? check and tell me if you dont find Isoko there, the immediate past leader who dies not long ago is an Okpe man check again bro you aint urhobo so i dont xpect you to know so i will pardon U on that one.

pazienza:
So rounding up figures from 2006 population census, the Urhobos has a population of 1.6 million, the Anioma has 1.3 million.

Are you Deliberately being Biased to yourself or this is genuine lack of knowledge of history and population regards to Districts?
os from same soure http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_State
The Urhobos happen to be 1447605

pazienza:
Isoko. is distinct from Urhobo, right from the very beginning. Remove Isoko and we have eight for Urhobo.

U r wrong,Im okpe and we come from Isoko,the name of the area is called Okpe Isoko,U dnt know the history Ok,If you remember well I told U the Urhobos have 4 kingdoms, more so go and check we the urhobos are spread across 2 of teh 3 Senetorial seat of Delta state Delta Central and Delta South,Anioma owns Delta North and that is that.

pazienza:
Urhobo has eight.

Just so U know you have the one senatorial District, Urhobos cover two check again.
