Start with stable power supply, restructure police, make government spending more transparent, hallow freedom of expression, restructure Nigeria and INEC.

CNN just released another news. Soon fire will be lit under Buhari's and his government's anus. A big fire. Humann right abuse.

Nigeria politicians are evil.

Youths in the Niger Delta region of the country have given the federal government a four-day ultimatum over the sale of a gold bar by Zamfara demanding that the proceeds be shared among all the states as usually done with oil resources.

Recently, Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State sold the gold bar to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) which has sparked debate over ownership of mineral rights.

Addressing a press conference in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, the youths drawn from Young Democratic Movement (YDM) and South-South Youth Assembly (SSYA) said in addition, the federal government should rise above the “act of impunity” allegedly committed by the Zamfara state government saying the governor has no right to sell the mineral resources that belong to the federal government.

According to them, failure by the federal government to address their demands which also include an upward review of the 13 percent derivation fund paid to the oil-producing states, will embark on a nationwide protest.

Youths in the Niger Delta region of the country have given the federal government a four-day ultimatum over the sale of a gold bar by Zamfara demanding that the proceeds be shared among all the states as usually done with oil resources.

“The gold found in any state belongs to the federal government, the revenue generated from such mineral resources like gold is to be shared among all the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

“The state governor has no such audacity to sell the gold bar to the apex bank worth close to about N5billion.

“In the Niger Delta States, we don’t sell oil. We are surprised that a governor of a state should be selling a gold bar from Zamfara State to the CBN.

“Let it be known that whatever revenue that ought to come from that transaction belongs to the entire country and not to the state government.

“These revenues could salvage the nation from the burden of these international borrowings.

“For the record, Item 39 under the Exclusive Legislative List of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) states that mines and minerals including oil fields, oil mining, geological surveys, and natural gas are exclusively under the control of the federal government.

“The Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act 2007, which was passed into law on March 16, 2007, to repeal the Minerals and Mining Act, No. 34 of 1999 for the purposes of regulating the exploration and exploitation of solid materials in Nigeria vested the control of all properties and minerals in Nigeria in the state, and prohibits unauthorised exploration or exploitation of minerals.

“The Act further stated that all lands in which minerals have been found in commercial quantities shall from the commencement of the Act be acquired by the federal government in accordance with the Land Use Act. And our question today is;

“Has the Federal Government acquired all the lands where minerals are found? If yes, why have the states not benefitted from proceeds from mining activities on such lands?”

“For the relative peace enjoyed in the Niger Delta region thus far and the achievements of about 1.86million barrels per day, this act shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Keseme Idiong of YDM and Victor Thompson of South-South Assembly maintained that failure of the federal government to review the derivation fund from 13 percent upwards, “the Federal Government must allow Niger Delta to directly sell her oil just as the recent case of Zamfara gold bar.”

“We give the Federal Government until Saturday, October 24, 2020, to give a robust and satisfactory response to our demands else the Youths of Niger Delta shall on Tuesday, October 26, 2020, embark on a Nationwide protest drawing the attention of the international community to this terrible situation.

“We must warn that we will not leave the streets until our demands are met.”

I just unfollowed the useless Buhari. Someone that cant even hold a face to face conversation with a 12 year old child.

Mercy is a generous person. So God is rewarding her according. Givers never lacks.

Based on the comments it's clear 95% of you commenting didn't read the news. If I understood, so far nothing has been linked to either Jonathan or Obasanjo, they are clean.

So you lads can't see where this is heading? Yesterday was Atiku, today it's Jonathan and OBJ investigated.

The next group will be Buhari, Tinubu etc...Big news are coming. That's their main aim.

If you can't smell what's coming open your nose wide. This is how the investigation into Buhari and his cohorts begins. Put on your 3D glasses.

This guys stole a lot of money when he was a governor of Delta state the people of the state dislikes him a lot. Buhari closed his eyes immidiately he switch to APC. Buhari is a scam.

Imagine doing this to a foreign diplomat in your country. Nigeria government, can you guys please release the senseless Buhari on the street so people can cut that his tongue off and stone him maybe then he can start hearing.

I live in Toronto Canada and confirm this to be a lie.

Davido said Chioma is a fiance to him, not baby mama. That heading isn't correct.

It will be over didn't necessarily meant everything dissapeare physically. He meant, it will be over spiritually and could still be visible but already defeated/killed spiritually.

The way Nigeria muslims hate Christians, is a pure definition of evil heart...God please keep watch of your children.

They should as well go complain over the mosques in the North buikt with government funds...

The generator bill is actually a very good one. Nigerians may not understand, but untill something of that major is done there'll not be electricity in Nigeria. Thats the only way it will become urgent to the government, infact the power will stabilize in a year. All of you want stable electricity when someone comes of with a way forward you stand against it.

tsephanyah:
Clown* Because you can't be president... How can you introduce Sharia in a country of 30% Christians and 70% Muslims. And why EFCC didn't Arrest this guy

Since when are muslims 70%? Islam and lies...
There are actually more Christians in Nigeria than muslims.

Senseless bunch of people claiming to be celebrity with their dirty boxers and stinky underwears... Took an African event to Asia. And you guys want to be respected by other races
What's the difference btwn these celebrities and our criminal politicians? Same bag of mumus....I feel sorry for those that sees these bunch of idiots and empty heads as celebrities.

Untill all of you living in Nigeria start acting like you deserve to be treated like human beings in your own country I won't sympathize with you all. In fact you'll deserve to be locked up in cages by your politicians.

Your politicians steal your wealth, fail to obey the law and now trying to kill you if you criticize them for stealing. And all all you lads do is act a coward and make noise online. If it was street pick pockets you would have hanged tire on their knecks and burn them alive, but not with the real thiefs stealing your future and human right. Bunch of lazy Nigerians.

When you share a country with illiterates..

Efcc you guys are idiots. Indians are the biggest scammers their government keeps mute. Yet Nigerians are the ones known for scamming bc our government is dumb...

Will these arrest solve the lack of jobs, insecurity, robbery, corruption, terrorism,poverty, no electricity in Nigeria?

Hope EFCC and Buhari are arranging job for them when they finally come out of prison. Because this time without Yahoo, I wonder what would happen. Rubbers and kidnappers may multiply.

Hahahah I love America. God bless the United state...

First of all, the soil in warri isn't this hard, brownish-red and rocky. Warri's soil is bright-White and soft similar to beach. Secondly,There's not even a single mountain in Warri. The other part of the news is likely fake too, guy probably didn't steal a Nokia phone,perhaps something else happened.

Imagine someone travelled all the way from Nigeria to America to study social work on a government scholarship. If any of these students took a lucrative program they won't have had the time to sue the school , bc they'd been gainfully employed by now and reaping the fruit of their education and greed card would have come with no stress. Now they are suing because their programs are useless and will soon end up in naija with nothing.

That player called Muhammad need replaced. Others naija will end the game with 10 men.

Are Nigerians Really Smart?:
Why can't they set up a system that enforces debate among president/govership contenders
where politicians will tell the people how they will create the jobs they are promising?. If there
was such debates ppl like Buhari would not have made to office, bc his brain is empty.


The idea that Nigerians are some of the smartest people on earth is the biggest lie ever told:

If Nigerians are smart, why can't they use their smartness to elect good leaders?
Why can't they prove to the world that Buihari doesn't have a primary school certificate?
In this 21st century why would they allow an illiterate like Buhari to run a dictotorship style of Government?
Why would Buhari have the freedom to tribalically appoint all sensible governement position to his own?

BUHARI: I am banning medical tourism, but jets out just for ear infection. A fool at 73 .
Can we just fast forward to 2019 so this ratarded piece of shiiiiiit can get voted out?
All we need is a very credible Igbo/Yoruba man team.

Who will vote for Fayose for president in 2019,
whether he represents a new party or even the rotten pdp ? ☝☝☝☝☝☝

Who will vote for Fayose for president in 2019?
☝

I have no doubt Buhari can not win 2019 presidential elections . But will the tyrant allow a free and fair election?. From Bugari's appointments and decisions one sees a Nigeria Mugambe who will rather die in office using his northern alliance already positioned for his own benefits. Naija don enter serious one chance.
