PMB is actually your headache as i can see so why will you guys lie about GEJ's capital projects which are not there. You guys should come up with another lie that he completed Lagos-Ibadan express road

*Lagos – Sagamu road rehabilitated

dirifred:
How hateful can you be? ops said project completed. so start from the state where you reside, investigate the authenticity of this claim instead of asking baseless questions. you could get answers to your questions that will shock you. ops listed completed projects, that means they were funded to completion. as for the price of oil which is the cry of this present administration, please search (google or any type of search you desire) for the price of crude oil for every month from 1999 till present, you will see this is not the first time oil price was low, the difference is just that this present govt has seen that as a good excuse for doing nothing. the price of crude oil has been made popular by this govt.

that's what i told them, these projects are visible but because of the hate they have for Jonathan, they will never admit its true.

Who is still campaigning for 2015 election in 2017?

No one is campaigning we keep hearing Goodluck Jonathan did not achieve anything as president, hence this thread, nice research op

Nice one, GEJ really tried his best even if he had some flaws. Buharideen over to you, show us project executed by this government in the North.

When the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB resumed on Tuesday, the judge, Binta Nyako, was furious over the absence of the controversial secessionist.
As far as the judge was concerned, someone had to be held responsible for the absence of the accused. The annoyance showed in her voice and carriage as she engaged both the prosecutors and the defence teams in a verbal war.
Reacting harshly to a request by the prosecution, Mrs. Nyako warned that the courtroom, one of many at the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, was “Justice Binta Nyako’s courtroom not Labaran’s courtroom.”
Mrs. Nyako did not stop there. The irate judge berated Mr. Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, as well as other lawyers in the defence team for what she described as ”attempts by counsel to frustrate the trial, presided over by her.”
“You know that I don’t like drama,” Mrs. Nyako said, stopping Mr. Ejiofor short when the latter attempted to submit that the prosecution’s denial of knowledge about Mr. Kanu’s whereabouts surprised him (Ejiofor).
“What the prosecution is simply saying is that your client is not here. And because of that, I should revoke his bail. Now it is my turn to ask you, where is your client? Mrs. Nyako queried.
“Some members of the defence are making matters difficult for others. If you don’t want me to continue with this case, I will recuse myself,” she added.
Also, when one of Mr. Kanu’s sureties, Eyinnaya Abaribe, a senator addressed the court, through his counsel, applying to be discharged as the defendant’s surety, Mrs. Nyako responded swiftly. Mr. Abaribe had subtly linked the invasion of Mr. Kanu’s home by the military on September 11 as a possible factor in his failure to appear in court.
But the judge would have none of that.

She told Mr. Abaribe’s lawyer that none of the submissions contained in his appeal would be considered by the court.
“Even if you apply from today till tomorrow, you have only three options: produce Nnamdi Kanu, forfeit the bond (N100 million), or request for time to bring him back to court to face his trial.
“Once you sign to be somebody’s surety, that person automatically becomes your responsibility,” Mrs. Nyako said.
The judge’s mood was perhaps understandable. It was based on the fact that when her court granted Mr. Kanu bail, on April, 25 it added 12 main conditions, primarily aimed at ensuring that the defendant would be able to effectively attend his trial.
Mr. Kanu was expected, as part of those conditions, to avoid a crowd of more than 10 people, avoid granting press interviews and engaging in any form of agitation.
Mr. Kanu is believed to have flouted may of the bail conditions, thus leading the Nigerian government to call for the revocation of the bail.
The bail initiated a series of developments that culminated in ‘the disappearance of Mr. Kanu.’
Shortly after the April 25 bail, Mr. Kanu was seen in a large crowd within his father’s compound in Abia State, in what was called ”a worship gathering” by the defendant’s lawyer.”
Mr. Kanu was also seen in YouTube videos calling on Nigerians from the South-east region to support a stay-at-home order to press home their demand for Biafra.
The stay-at-home order given by the IPOB leader witnessed relative success in parts of the South-east and some states in the South-south, like Rivers State.

Mr. Kanu was also seen in other YouTube videos calling on the federal government to set a date for a referendum that would usher in the break-away of the region to form the Republic of Biafra or risk massive protest from IPOB members. He also issued similar threats like the boycott of elections in Anambra scheduled to hold November 18.
In what has been regarded as a reaction to the agitation by Mr. Kanu and his IPOB supporters, a Northern group asked South-easterners living in the north to leave the region before October, 1.
The situation aggravated an already tense security atmosphere in the country, with leaders from various parts of the country condemning both groups for their actions.
While all these were ongoing, the federal government demanded the revocation of Mr. Kanu’s bail on August 25, accusing the IPOB leader of flouting all the conditions listed in his bail.
Although that application was reportedly filed in August, during the annual vacation of federal high court judges, the matter was never listed, even among cases to be treated by vacations judges in the court.
THE ARMY’S ROLE
A few days after the government announced the plan to call for a revocation of Mr. Kanu’s bail, the Nigerian Army announced it would commence an operation in the South-east. Operation Python Dance was an exercise to check criminality in the region, the army said.
However, by the time the exercise commenced in Abia State, Mr. Kanu’s home state, clashes occurred between IPOB members and soldiers with both sides accusing each other of starting the confrontation.

As the clashes continued, the military labelled IPOB a terrorist organisation, a decision later backed by the federal government through a court order; while Mr. Kanu’s lawyer accused the army of kidnapping his client on September 14. He also asked them to produce him in court at his resumed hearing.
Mr. Ejiofor’s claim appears logical. If a group has been declared a terrorist organisation, and many of its members arrested, wouldn’t the leader of such group also be arrested? Or why does it appear the military is not interested in the whereabouts of the leader of a ‘terrorist organisation’.
However, in a reply to Mr. Ejiofor’s claim, military spokesperson, John Enenche, dismissed the allegations.
“I watched the operations live. I also got first-hand information from our men on the ground. For the records, Nnamdi Kanu was never taken away by the military.
“The military is doing its routine exercise/operation. I saw everything, nobody raided Kanu house. I stand to justify it not from the information I got. I was watching it live. I was monitoring it live.

“Nobody raided his house, nobody went to ‘carry’ him that must be very clear. I saw the militancy, nobody told me,” Mr. Enenche, a major general, said in an interview with journalists in Abuja.
Also speaking later on Mr. Kanu’s disappearance, a former Abia State governor, Orji Kalu, claimed the IPOB leader had fled to London.
Orji Uzor-Kalu
“Nnamdi Kanu is in London as we speak. He was not arrested by anybody. He left on his own,” Mr. Kalu said in an interview with Punch newspapers.
Reacting, Mr. Ejiofor accused the former governor of playing to the gallery to ”gain favour from the government.”
“What do you expect from a man, who is enjoying a temporary freedom and struggling to get his head out of grievous corruption charge hanging on his neck? He saw Nnamdi Kanu’s travail as an opportunity to seek relevance from the prosecuting authority,” Mr. Ejiofor said insisting his client was being held by the army.
With Mr. Kanu’s whereabouts not clear, many Nigerians looked forward to the October 17 court case, hoping to see if he would appear (if he’s in hiding) or be brought to court (if he is in the custody of security agencies).
Neither happened. The IPOB leader was absent.
For Mrs. Nyako, irrespective of the military’s actions, the responsibility to produce the separatist leader in court lies with his sureties. She asked the sureties, including the want-away senator, to appear in court on November 20, to explain ”the disappearance of Mr. Kanu.”
Speaking of possible options to be taken if (Kanu) does not show up, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ahmed Raji said; ”the simple thing to do would be to declare him wanted.”
“It is simple. What the court can do is to declare him wanted. I don’t think the court can do anything more than what it has mentioned in its conditions to the sureties,” he said.
While many Nigerians will now look forward to the adjourned date of November 20, the question many will continue to ask is: Where is Nnamdi Kanu?

The house of representatives has resolved to set up an ad hoc committee to probe the termination of the contract between Integrated Logistics Services (Intels) by the federal government.

Last week, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) voided the boats pilotage agreement it had with Intels.

Discussing the development on Wednesday, the lower legislative asked the government to return to “status quo” to avoid “injury” to the workers of the company.

The resolution by the house followed a motion sponsored by Diri Douye, a lawmaker from Bayelsa.

Moving the motion on the floor of the house, Douye expressed concern that over 7000 Nigerians work for Intels and terminating the contract would have negative effects.

The lawmaker said there is a need to ascertain the process of termination of contracts between Nigeria Ports Authority and Intels.

Contributing to the debate, Ekpo Attah, a lawmaker from Akwa Ibom, said the motion is important and “status quo” should be maintained.

“Intels employs a lot of people. I submit that this motion is very pertinent and Intels should be returned to status quo,” She said.

Opposing the motion, Rotimi Agunsoye, a lawmaker from Lagos, said Intels should go to court to seek redress.

He said the house had no business looking into the issue.

“If they have any problem with government they should go to court. The motion should not come here,” Agunsoye said.

Rita Orji, a lawmaker from Lagos, said there is the need to probe the matter to provide a fair and hear both sides.

“If you want to terminate a contract there are ways of going about it. I’m supporting the investigation – we are talking about 7,000 workers and we complain about unemployment,” Orji said.

“Do we have a Nigerian company that is ready to take over what Intels is doing. We should hear both sides so that there be fair hearing on both sides.”

The motion was adopted by the house after Yakubu Dogara, the speaker, put the motion to a voice vote.

The committee is expected submit its report in two weeks.

More than 20 people are feared dead in an early morning attack on Nkyie Dongwro village in Miango district of Bassa Local Government Area in Plateau State.

The attack is the second in less than 24 hours after six people were killed in a late-night sneak attack on Ta’agbe village, also in Miango.

Gunmen have continued to attack communities in spite of a curfew imposed by the state government on Bassa LGA.

Before Monday’s attack, the government had vowed to identify and prosecute all those behind the attack on Ta’agbe village.

It had also warned that any person or group found to be providing refuge and escape for perpetrators of the act would not be spared the wrath of the law.

I knew something was gonna happen sooner or later but I didn't think DSTV ll go so low and as far as buying off TSTV partner stations.. Well diaris god ooo

bro trust no one

zombieHUNTER:
Tstv must survive

All these bribe takers and saboteurs must be brought to book

What are my saying sef
The face of corruption is in aso rock
Dstv has won already

they have not won, just watch and see

If only Dangote can move into this sector! Na him go fit face the devilish dstv face to face!

i just don't understand, Dstv don't want any competition

Nigeria, the unfavourable socio-economic system has made it very difficult for indigenous companies, entrepreneurs and start-ups to excel to the fullest of their potential.

There has been insinuations that foreign investors fare better in Nigeria compared to the home based companies. This may look like a fact but we have to examine the root cause of this ugly report.

For instance, in early 2007, an indigenous satellite TV company, HiTV came into existence to compete with the South African based DSTV. To an average dish and decoder owner, they are more concerned with that company that can offer them value for their money. 


HiTV started very well in competition with DSTV, offering same quality services with lesser prices, but what many cannot explain was how HiTV folded up within a few years of its existence.


There were rumours that the owner took some loans from banks to run the business but he could not pay back. This was certainly not the case, it was a mere propaganda and trick played to set the Nigerian people against the company and its owners. Further digging has revealed that the company was sabotaged by DSTV in connivance with some top management officials of the bank where HiTV took several millions of Naira to run the business.


Few months ago, news broke that another premium and quality Dish and Decoder company called TSTV entered the market to compete with DSTV but with cheaper subscriptions. TSTV enjoyed massive media attention, they also enjoyed massive sympathy from Nigerians because of their promise to offer better services with less fees.


TSTV announced that they will be launching on October 1st, promising to give out over 5,000 free decoders, and naturally the company will produce over 10,000 direct and indirect jobs within few months of operation. Surprisingly, rumours started flying around that some powerful people who have interests in DSTV were threatening the company. This news angered Nigerians and several people took to social media to air their opinions.  The pressure made the alleged conspirators to pipe low. 

Nigerians began to ask why any sane person will want to stop or destroy a company capable of offering quality service with less amount in favour of those ripping off citizens? Why should anyone want to stop the existence of a company capable of producing tens of thousands jobs for the unemployed skilled and unskilled people.


Since the plan to stop TSTV launch failed, the conspirators with DSTV are reportedly making another dangerous move against TSTV which will have a negative impact on the Nigerian economy and affect the already excited potential subscribers.


It was gathered that DSTV went behind to contact the stations TSTV had already signed contracts with and allegedly paid them 5 million dollars to cancel those airing contracts with TSTV. At as the time of this report, it was gathered that 30 TV stations have cancelled their contracts with TSTV.

It was also gathered that Spice TV, Televista, a Nigerian owned Tv station also pulled out from the airing arrangement with TSTV yesterday as a result of threat from DSTV, a source disclosed. 

Nigerians should not fold their arms and allow foreigners destroy our own indigenous companies, with the connivance of some saboteurs who are in the corridors of power.

TSTV has promised to introduce pay per view which should be the normal practice to the advantage of subscribers but DSTV which has been ripping Nigerians off for decades, is hell bent on sabotaging them to continue to exploit Nigerians. It is about time Nigerians speak up, and prevail on government to support TSTV’s stay and existence in Nigeria.


If we all allow DSTV to kill TSTV the same way they killed HiTV, many of our graduates who are potential employees of TSTV will remain unemployed, DSTV will continue to cheat and rip Nigerians off. Nigerians should only pay for services enjoyed and not be subjected to the forceful monopoly of DSTV.

We have too many educated illiterates in the East! I don't blame them sha, too much radio biafra can cause a lot of damages to the brain. So all the soldiers in the East came from the north? No Igbo soldiers among the soldiers carrying out the free medical exercise? Hatred for this government made some people to lost their reasoning and brain.

prevention is better than cure, why didn't the military inform the people on its plan to administer vaccine to students in South East, Besides there have been no case of Monkeypox reported in south east , unlike Bayelsa and Some south western states

Me just thinking......

The first case of monkeypox is in Bayelsa State, South South.

There were rumours of its spread to some south western state.

Why was there no sensitization before administering vaccine to those student.

You will agree with me that the IDPs needs this vaccine the most.

If i were to be from any state in the South East i will also withdraw my kid from school, until the such exercise is confirmed by the government.
