Isolationalist policies is so pre-medivial trade reasoning, coupled with the fact that the subject preaching the said gospel also ship jobs abroad. Second base bro.

It is obvious Fashola is overwhelmed with the demands of his office. He needs to be relieved of some of his responsibilities. He should be made the minister for works while Ministry of power and Housing get new ministers. Kachukwu and the nominee from Kogi can head the two ministries.

When will EFCC charge Patience Jonathan to court for money laundering? The laundered money belongs to her and not the company. She should be the one standing trial.

Firefire:
Wonderful! By their fruits you shall know them...

do you live your life on people's expectations?

Divorce who? IB divorce mama P? Who born am? He daren't, !! He won't even contemplate such.

He doesn't have the cojones to do that, someone who wailers and household enemies claimed was "pushed" by the governors to squander the savings that could have cushioned the effect to deep in the valley oil price that 180m people are saddeningly overdependent on.

And when will your government arrest those that funded boko haram?

$1.85b to china for a country lacking dollars and under serious economic repression? Are you sure Nigerians have sense at all?.
Why not use those monies for local construction companies even if it means much smaller projects? Kano state with millions of almajiris and widespread poverty surely has a lot of things she could do with that money instead of sending it to china.

Izonpikin:
true federalism will help the governors in those states to receive sense so that they exploit the resources they have to generate revenue..

KahlDrogo:
They should be stopped quickly. Lead poisoning is real. Remember Zamfara 2009. This same practice was what resulted in the deaths of all those children.

Healthier methods should be used.

Real2020:
Afonja will die of envy one day. This people thinks Igbos are their mate...SMH.

Tolexander:
How many schools are in Nigeria today, and how many prisoners have we?

How many schools were existing in the pre 80 and how many prisoners had our prisons then?

Stop making some quotes that betray reality in Nigeria, though they are applicable elsewhere.

My question remains; why have the terrorists suddenly become inclined to dialogue?? Didn't they say they could continue blowing things up until not a single drop of crude is exported from the region?? Didn't they swear to keep up their campaign until the economy is completely grounded?? Didn't they swear to tear down the walls of this building until Niger Delta Republic is granted them??

If my intuition serves me right, I'd wager the FG has landed a big prize in her military campaign and the cowards are jittery over the consequences of keeping up their shenanigans- shiit's most likely about to blow up in their faces.

Their propaganda appears to have lost a whole lot of traction with the revelations made by the breakaway faction and the arrest of some of their members (whose membership they of course denied), but I haven't the slightest doubt in my mind the captives must have been singing more than canaries in detention. Moreso, they've lost a lot of domestic support as it is becoming all too obvious who the primary victims of their idiotic activities are- they very people they claim to be "fighting for".

If the government decides to dialogue with them, fine, but the question remains- how many such groups would the government dialogue with today and in future

There is an old adage that says for peace, be prepared for war. First world countries have the kind of military capabilities they do not because they desire to go to war with anyone but because they understand the essence of having such structures on ground- it is the best deterrent to trouble makers both within and outside the country. As long as we don't upgrade our security armament to meet best global standard, this vicious circle of negotiating with one ragtag group of miscreants after another would go on forever!

QuotaSystem:
With all due respect to the personality of Professor Soyinka, I think the government has been patient enough.

The doubts must be cleared in the minds of those ogogoro soaked terrorists and their kindergarten supporters about the military's resolve and capacity to effectively stop the criminality in the delta.

All these kids grandstanding on social media don't realize the harm they're putting their parents in, the same people that were screaming out of fear just yesterday because of ordinary rehearsals by the the amphibian wing of the armed forces.

Anyway we have reached the end of the long rope and at this point any further pussyfooting will only embolden the senseless militants and their suckling supporters the more to continue their sabotage.

modath:
Really? Stop, chill small and draw some breath, FG can't fight everyone from these communities & expect unfettered and lasting peace...

How do you hope to gather intelligence in an environment where you have no single ALLY?

why won't you support your spiritual leader?
