Dude, stop supporting blindly. How many people lost their lives in the middle belt when Jonathan was in power?

God forbid that i support the mindless killings of innocent Nigerians but i will never blame Buhari alone because Nigerian politicians are evil and can do anything including sponsoring killings just to smear the govt, get people' s sympathy and return to power.

If u don't know about the killings in benue and other middlle belt states,, go and ask former benue state governor Dr Gabriel

SarkinYarki:


He left Buhari 14 trillion Naira in foriegn reserve and Buhari has borrowed an additional 13 trillion with oil prices averaging 70 dollars yet has nothing to show for it

Do a proper research then u will discover that Buhari never removed a cent from the foreign reserve because that would have cost more damage to the Naira.

Infact the reserve crashed further because it couldn't sustain the exchange rate.

Buhari only grew the reserve even in the midst of recession and low oil revenue.

He only withdrew about $500 million earlier this year to pay for fighter jets.

He had to borrow because pdp looted and mismanaged our resources.

U mean Buhari borrowed N13 trillion? U are indeed MR LIENUS

OKAY LET ME BRING U OUT OF IGNORANCE OR SELF DENIAL

BUHARI INHERITED A DEBT OF $63 BILLIONS FROM JONATHAN'S GOVT


www.informationng.com/2015/05/jonathans-administration-incurred-only-21-8bn-of-the-63-7bn-national-debt.html


NOW $63 BILLION CONVERTED TO NAIRA AT THE RATE OF N179/$1 IS = ABOUT N12 TRILLION.

THAT WAS THE EXCHANGE RATE THEN

NOW THE BANK EXCHANGE IS N310/$1

SO CONVERT $63 BILLION TO NAIRA AT THE NEW RATE OF N310/$1 AND U WILL GET ABOUT N20 TRILLION +

NIGERIA'S DEBT STANDS AT N22 TRILLION

SO HOW MUCH DID BUHARI BORROWED?

SarkinYarki:


Over 13 million jobs lost, 300 percent inflation, 13 trillion debt with little to show , over 25 thousand deaths to insecurity, record level ethnic divisions, heightened Nepotism , worsening healthcare, record level childhood mortality , record level maternal mortality , record level mortality from malaria , record level human right abuse , record level opaqueness of Govt finances ... and you say Buhari is a blessing? Do you know the meaning of bless at all ?

Rubbish and i mean 10,0% rubbish

When pdp kill at night they will accuse apc of killing when it is dawn.

For 5 years Jonathan's govt earned over N50 trillion from oil revenue.

What did he do with money?

Did he save? No

But he was secretly withdrawing the ones OBJ and Yar'Ardua saved until Ameaci raised the alarm and demand for it to be shared.

How much did he left for Buhari to run the govt'

Don't forget he borrowed to pay salaries in march 2015 which was 2 months ahead to handover.

Would he borrow to pay salaries if the economy wasn't in recession already?

How much was oil price when Buhari took over? $37/barrel

Where u not among those hailing Niger Delta Avengers for destroying oil installations that brought production to below 25%?

Have u also forgotten that Nigeria was in short of dollars after the election?

Many companies were shut down and millions of job lost because they couldn't source for dollars for importation of whatever they needed to run their companies

Etisalat left Nigeria because of $1 billon debt.

So where do u expect Buhari to get forex when our only means of earning forex was under heavy attack by millitants and oil price was at $37?

If after earning over $450 billion in 5 years but it was looted and mismanaged, where do u expect the new govt to get forex from?

As for the killings we all know that it didn't start with buhari even though i feel the govt isn't doing enough to end it.

Stop quoting false death figures here because even when boko haram were killings at will for over 5 years and other killings in benue, plateau, taraba, zamfara etc the death toll was about 50,00

thewesternking:


This is exactly what i was thinking.

The blind followers of evil will never accept the raw truth

Example

Nigeria need weapons to fight boko haram

Under pdp

Dasuki collected $2.1billon to buy weapons.

He only showed us pictures of fighter jets, tanks and guns he claimed to have bought with the money but he actually shared the money without pity for the nation.

Evil followers hailed and are still hailing him

Under apc

Buhari paid for 12 fighter jets with about $500 million which was confirmed by U. S govt

But the same evil followers who are still hailing Dasuki for robbing Nigeria of $2.1billion in name of buying jets are now saying the price for the 12 jets were inflated.

SarkinYarki:


No power plants always have a scheduled time frame , most things there are built custom , it's not like buying car oo...

Warri - Ajeokuta rail project was awarded in 1985 and completed in 2018.

Lagos - Ibadan expressway has lingered for over 16 years

Ordinary Abuja light rail of about 45 or 55 km took about 6 years to be completed.

No serious govt will allow such after huge allocation was made available for the projects

Buhari's govt is a huge blessing to Nigeria if not for the killings

SarkinYarki:


Why dont you tell us one single power plant Fashola has initiated and completed that is responsible for your improved electricity ...of all the power plant being used today Non absolutely non was built by the APC and non has even been initiated till date so what's your point

Why are u guys obsessed with "which project did he initiated and completed?"

Why didn't the pdp govts complete the projects they started?

There was enough money to compel contractors to finish their work in time

But unfortunately 95% of funds meant for projects were looted and shared.

U expect Apc govt to initiate new projects when trillions were already spent in the name of the projects without success.

Indeed Apc govt has done better that pdp because pdp looted the nation's treasury in the name of initiating projects but apc govt is making the projects a reality.

N-Power is a poverty alleviation scheme ..

No rich man is on that platform , but poor people earning peanut cake for a living .

Buhari daughter is a director at NNPC and her monthly take home is 6 million naira .

I'm so ashamed that the so called graduates of this country don't seems to know there rights as Nigerians .

Is 30k Naira monthly salary as N-power beneficiary , what you will use to feed your family, send your children to good schools, build or buy a house of your own and a car to drive your family around??

30k Naira is what Yussuf Buhari spends on recharge cards and internet subscription a week.

What will a family man of about 4 children and a wife do with 30k Naira?

Did you go to school so you could be earning 30k Naira as monthly salary?

As a young man or girl, can you comfortably tell your girlfriend or boyfriend that you're earning 30k Naira as N-power recruit ?
Na dat moment dem go dump you .

Sorry, but this record was set by GEJ several years ago. Are we celebrating past successes as achievements?

Mad people full APC sha.

GEJ made Nigeria the largest economy in Africa but he handed a bleeding economy on a life support to Buhari

Meanwhile that something the largest doesn't mean it is the best

Nemesis001:

shut up and tell Nigerians one thing Buhari has achieved.

In his first term he started Lagos - Ibadan Standard gauga railway construction which is over 150km and the project is over 60% completion.

It took OBJ, YAR'ARDUA AND GEJ 16 years to plan and start Kaduna - Abuja railway project yet they couldn't complete it

Ekinematics:



They are Nigerians and have the right to live wherever to wish to within the country. Living in a place doesn't automatically make you an indigene.
Please use your head.

U are the one not using ur common sense,

The descendants of those Igbos who settled in Bonny over hundreds of years back do not have any other HOMETOWN except Bonny..

They do not have any other village than Bonny and their certificate of origin is that of Bonny. They may travel out of Bonny but will always go back there as their hometown during festive periodd.

If u say they are not indigenes of Bonny because they are Igbos then Sultan of Sokoto and Emir of Kano who we all respect and honor as northern leaders are actually not northerners but Fulanis who came and stayed in the north

Ekinematics:



Igbos indigenes in Bonny? Nothing I no go read for this nairaland.

If they are not indigenes why not send them parking?

chukxie:


That's a heavy investment. I would suggest you take it up with the NRC because to the best of my knowledge the railway transportation in Nigeria is run by the government.

Yes the system is operated by the govt and i can boldly say that is the reason it is not efficient and suffers poor maintenance,

The govt workers are mostly there to kill the system by illegally enriching themselves and accuse the govt of not funding the railway sector.

Thanks bro

Nbote:
Are U going to lay ur own tracks as well?

That is why one need NRC approval,

With proper timing and good locomotive, two or three trains can ply the same track

Hello Nairalanders

I have been thinking if it is possible for a Nigerian to bring in a narrow gauge train for transport business and what it will cost the NRC to give the permission to ply their routes.

I have noticed with utmost displeasure the fragile and unstable rail system with Port Harcourt and Aba axis despite great numbers of passengers who uses the train on daily basis.

People get frustrated on daily basis due the poor services by the operators. Sometime its either the train is sick with one mechanical fault or it fell some where along the bushy track and is taking enternity to be lifted or no reason given for it not showing up.

I honestly wish it would be posdible for a private firm to bring in a train and run it privately to make more effective and efficient becaause this so called govt workers are not helping at all

nengibo:

Will it be wrong to say Abriba or Arochukwu is 100 percent Igbo or 100 percent Ibibio?

As kong as there are other tribes in Abriba or Arochukwu, it would be wrong to say it is 100% Igbos.

I wont reply u again

nengibo:


I may have misunderstood you but I am only trying to explain acculturation, take Arochukwu for instance, there are many people of ibibio descent but it will be wrong to call them Ibibio indegens because Arochukwu is an Igbo community, Arochukwu will not become Ibibio land because of the presence of people of Ibibio decent, so it will be wrong to say an Ikwerre community becomes Igbo because of a migrant was acculturated and became king.

The op asked if Bonny people were Igbos since they speak igbo language and i explained that Igbos are in Bonny. It would be wrong to say that Bonny is 100% Igbos or Ijaws because both tribes now made up the Bonny kingdom.

Are you now telling that the Fulanis in the North are no northerners because they not hausa?

nengibo:

this is wrong, Ibani people existed long before the slave trade era, their are no "Igbo" indegenes as those who where not originally of Ibani decent like Ibibio, Ogoni, Okrika, Igbo where all acculturated, just like what happened to Ibibios in Arochukwu, Abriba or the "nwaosu'' people present across Igbo land, the Ibani people have a long kingship, language and ancestry as old as recorded history, thanks.

Maybe you read that post again for better understanding

I never said the Igbos settled in Bonny and Opobo before the slave trade but that they settled there after the trade were abolished.

The people of Bonny and Opobo accomodated them and gave them land to build their houses. The Igbos that settled in Bonny and Opobo are no longer strangers but indigenes.

I even gave an example that a descendant of an Igbo man who was hired as a servant by my great great grandfather is now reigning as the paramount ruler of community as an Ikwerre man

Tushkito:


It doesn't matter what their origin states, this people have made it clear that they want nothing to do with the tag igbo, respect their choice and move on with life abeg.

Majority of those saying that Ikwerres are not Igbos are actually dfescendants of the Igbos......

I never said it depends on " the state of origin" BUT THE ORIGIN. THAT IS TO SAY THE ORIGIN OF OUR EXISTENCE AS A PEOPLE

Meanwhile i am 100% Ikwerre man and can boldly say that I AM AN IGBO MAN

viscerion:
go ahead, analyze, i started my post with we are all here to learn, i know weve thrashed this issue many times but as you see it tends to create more confusion than answers, so i made a simple way to treat it

my mum is ikwerre, and im not denying that they are igbos in rivers and delta states, just that the ikwere n ukwale people are not the igbos in SS. we have igbos in aniocha n oshimili LG in delta, the ukwani are in ndokwa LG, they r a diff tribe

Someone already said that this topic has been treated on this forum before but its obvious that you are here judging by your time of registering on the forum.

So, i will respond based on facts..

1. The origin of Igbos in Bonny and Opobo can be traced to the era of slave trade and the abolishment of the slave trade.

Read here

https://www.nairaland.com/732794/igbos-bonny-igbodefender.com

They were real Igbos who stayed back and settled in Bonny and Opobo after the slave trade was abolished. They are now indigenes of Bonny and Opobo.

In nny own town, a son of a hired servant from core Igboland is now a reigning king of my community and they are now Ikwerre indigenes.

2. The case of Urhobos and Ishkos of Delta is that they both wants to rule themselves and decides what happens in their domain and the sane thing that happened between Ogoni and Eleme people of Rivers state...

Again the same thing was what transpired between the Ikwerres and the Igbos. The Ikwerres were tired of being treated as slaves or servants to the Igbos especially the people of Arochukwu who lorded themselves over the Ikwerres

Late Senator Obi Wali once said that as a little boy, he used to carry his father's chair to the village meeting but as soon as an Arochukwu man arrives at the meeting and there was no seat for him, his father would surrender his own seat to the Arochukwu man and then sat on the floor.

I also remembered when an Igbo man who was not from Rivers state was representing the Ikwerres in the federal house of representatives,

So for that purpose the Ikwerres vowed to cut ties the core Igbos so they can rule thenselves and decide what hapens in their domain. The Ikwerres had to do what they did to be free from intimidations by their Igbo brothers and for politival gains..

3. Calabar was the capital of old Cross River state which the current Akwa Ibom was part of. There were several tribes like Anang, Efik, Ibibio etc. The creation of Akwa Ibom state was not because of tribes or identity crisis but to bring governance close to the people.

Or are you trying to tell us that the Ijaws in Rivers State are different fromt the Ijaws in Bayelsa and other states?

4. It is not by dressing or dancing but the origin. That you now wear shrts,, suits, trousers and dance hip pop, does that makes you an American?

5. Check the meaning of Timi in Ijaw and yoruba if they are the same. Chika is an Igbo and Ikwerre with same meaning

6. Even some part of Abia state either Arochukwu or Ohafia also has link with Bini..

7. Also for the benefit of staying alive, the Ikwerres had no other option but to deny the Igbos during the civil war so federal troops won't wipe them off. Don't forget that the Ogonis and Ijaws already told the federal troops that Ikwerres were Igbos which triggered the killings of innocent and defendless Ikwerres by the Nigerian army until the Ikwerres denied being Igbos.

8. Even Asa in Abia state has different dialects let alone Ikwerre. Igbo language has many sub - languages and each sub - language has many dialects which Ikwerre happens to be one of then.

9. Even the Yorubas, Hausas, Ijaws, Ogonis, Efik calls the Ikwerres Igbos...

TO CROWN IT ALL THE IKWERRES AND IGBOS HAS THE SAME ANCESTRAL GOD CALLED ANADIOHA

bigfish3k:

sorry, i thought u are one of them

Accepted

viscerion:


abi o, its only to insult they know, they cant argue with points, I got these points from another thread from an ikwerre person for that matter

Let us analyse ur points one by one and u would be surprised at the end that u ended making no point.

Meka oh

Alero3Arubi:
Tell them oooo.
They will not hear.
Will soon come to fight and claim nonsense right now.

viscerion:

We are all hear to learn, but some group of people are strong headed and hellbent on deceiving others, so this is to prevent deception

To all yorubas, hausas, all northerners, and south southerners, the next time you enter an argument with an Igbo person on whether ikwerre, ukwuani, ika of delta are igbo? just give the igbo person these following points

1.) people of bonny in rivers are ijaw, yet they speak igbo. tribe is not by language
2.)urhobos and isokos of delta are like twins, yet they maintain their status as different tribes, go to warri and see
3.)Ibibio and efik of akwa ibom and cross river despite strong similarities maintain their status as different tribes, it is we outsiders that just grouped all of them as "calabar people"
4.) ikwerre people have as much similarities with ijaw as with igbo, come to rivers and see, ikwerre main dressing and dance like ijaws
5.) yorubas answer timi, ijaw people also bear timi does that make ijaws yoruba?
6.) though not confirmed, they are evidences that show ikwerre and ika of agbor MAY come from Edo, which may explain the name "rumuighoroya"
7.) Even Non Nigerians from togo, ghana e.t.c claim to be Nigerians if it will favour them jobs, admission, social benefits, e.t.c, after all GEJ an ijaw man gave himself azikiwe to get favour from igbos, so dont be surprise when famous ikwerre people all themselves igbo, same people will claim hausa if they can if it will favour them
8.)Ikwerre has different dialects, so ikwerre itself cannot be a dialect under igbo
9.) why is it only Igbo people that keep insisting that ikwerre and ika and ukwani of delta state are igbos, when even the ikwerre, ukwani people dont insist that

i could go on and on, dont be deceived, rumuighoroya meka we

STOP VIBRATING UNNECCESSARILY.


CAN YOU TELL ME THE NAME OF IKWERRE ANCESTRAL GOD?

I still maintain that those Yoruba leaders are only looking for their own interests and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Out of their selfishness they betrayed MKO ABIOLA and collected bribe from his killers..

They love brown envelop filled with dollars which Atiku is willingly ready to give them

Where they not the same Yoruba leaders who got this envolp from GEJ in 2015?
