So 1966 Coup is now an Igbo coup ?, .. When it suits you ,you will lump SS and SE together but separate them when issue of Biafra is discussed forgetting the fact that Nzeogwu came from part of SS that is having identity crisis concerning whether they are Igbos or not.
This clown should just shut up his mouth and make inquiry about history before typing rubbish on Media.. I am sure 1985 coup was also a coup against people of Kastina by Niger state military officers... Mumu

Keep typing rubbish by spreading hate speech and be rendering useless apology at the same time even when the milk has been spilled,. Nobody posts something on Media without pondering on it. "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks"
But one thing is certain... The day Igbos will pull out out of this unholy union even if it would take centuries, Igbos will be very brutal to their perceived enemies... It's a matter of time. Every history is properly documented for justification..

Igbo as a tribe is not any useless political contraption like SS, SE, Imo, Anambra etc etc. I don't care what Nzeogwu did but he is Igbo by blood period.

Even Jesus by now will regret why he rejected Horse and Chariot come choose donkey. This our pastors are taking triumphant entry to another level.

Why you must or why you should not?

Saraki my man.. the only politician after GEJ in the history of Nigeria to accept election defeat calmly without causing problems

Lol, what a comment! Accept defeat when he was soundly defeated? What other freaking choice does he have?

I guess you haven't built a house in your life? No worry, hopefully soon you will. When you know the price of interlock per sq meter, then you will think twice about that image you see up there.

I think there is a difference between stealing and snatching. I feel what happened there is the later.

One day one bad news, na who we even offend for this country

There is bad always news everywhere in the world. The truth is, in journalism, bad news moves faster, it attracts most clicks and its most talked about. So expect more bad news worldwide like every seconds.
Example, you will not hear that there is peace in Japan since Jan, but you will hear there is tornado in japan once it occurs.

14 year old Almajiri you mean to say? But to be honest, this almajiris are everywhere.
They normally never admit they have parents because the father is probably old and the mum have no phone. So he is left to languish alone.

Please my people, help a starving brother. I have been pleading for help since 2 days now. I'm a student who returned to school last week because of the prospects of exams starting on Tuesday and also because I was opportuned to enter a free ride. my family isn't bouyant enough and my dad has severe high BP that's why I had to find my way so as not to make him to start thinking about where to get money to give me. I haven't eaten a decent food since I got back and am starving.


I am soliciting for help from well meaning people who will be touched enough to hear my plight and have mercy. I am not asking for much, no matter how little, it will go a long way. God bless you all

You have been posting this exact same comment all over the place. Secondly, I normally don't help people who just recently opened their account. Hope you find someone willing though. Goodluck.

Nigeria a joke. Our only hope Atiku is from Cameroon, Bubu no know where his certificates is. Youths lining up to die or vote for two old men, etc, etc. Well for me, out of them two, I will always go for the devil I know. 2023 is upon us already.

Suspected Fulani Herdsman Who Cut Off Woman’s Fingers In Aba Finally Speaks up

By Wisdom Nwedene

The suspected Fulani Herdsman who allegedly cut off the fingers of Mrs. Esther Ibemcha in Abia State has finally reacted to the allegations levelled against him.

Speaking with Igbere TV correspondent, the man identified as Salisu Garuba said the woman assaulted him to remove his cows in front of her shop or she will show him something.

According to him, "to my surprise, she stabbed me with a knife at my left hand and blood rush out before I retaliated on her. I regretted my action because I don’t intend cutting off her three left fingers."

Igbere TV gathered that the suspect ‘Salisu Garuba’ is currently in prison custody in Aba and will soon appear in court.

The suspect also said : "I'm an Hausa indigene of Garu village in Karasuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State Nigeria. I'm 25 years old and was born of a Muslim family and he don’t pray, or visit Muslim mosque in Aba since I lived in Aba for 7 (seven) years now and have not been to his place since then. I'm not a ‘Fulani Herdsman’ nor members of cattle rearers in Aba.
"
"My business is loading, offloading of cows, goats in water side and picking/selling of waste iron materials in water side Aba Abia State."

On that faithful day, March 31st 2019, a Hausa cow’s agent called ‘Sani’ who engage in cow’s business with Akwa Ibom indigenes kept their cows in water side Aba.

He volunteers to assist ‘Sani’ feed the cows that the cows are losing shape. He then released the cows to feed along peoples Road, Ogbor Hill, before he had an encounter with the woman called Esther.

"She assaulted me to remove the cows in front of her shop or she will show me something. To my surprise, she stabbed me with a knife at my left hand and blood rush out before I retaliated on her. I regretted my action because I don’t intend cutting off her three left fingers."

Meanwhile, the Chairman of cattle rearer in water side Aba, Mallam Ibrahim took the girl (Esther) to General Hospital Aba and deposited N25,000 to start treatment and he handed ‘Salisu Garuba’ to the police. Also, the Akwa Ibom who owns the cows paid a visit and deposited N40,000 for her treatment.

...But Atiku won Lagos according to INEC server

Amuocha:
Seen.

How can you be senator elect and also a minister of the federal republic of Nigeria?

How old are you so I can drive you down memory lane? Remember 1998? Remember Atiku? He was then governor elect and opted to vie alongside OBJ as his VP. You can be a senator elect/ Rep elect and opt for a ministerial position. In that case your seat will be vacant and a by-election in your constituent. It normally works where a party feels it is strong enough to win the by-election with another candidate. Doubt if its possible in Abia though.

No need for that brov. That's a young girl by the way.

[s]There is nothing wrong with increasing minimum wage.[/s]
[s]
The only problem is Buhari's failure to help boost local production to increase export and reduce import.

[s]No improvement in electricity supply.

No support given to Dangote & Orient so as to speed up the establishment of their refineries.

No stoppage of Fulani terrorists destroying farm lands.


Pls take note Wirinet.[/s]

All completely wrong and intent driven submission!!!!
I don't have time for useless PDP and APC arguments here. Over time subsequent government have failed woefully. ..and I say this without fear nor favour, this govt included.

wirinet:
Basic economics of demand and supply. At 18,000 minimum wage, Nigeria imports about $40 billion worth of goods. If salaries is increased by 50%, demand for imported items is expected to increase (as there are no local industries to bridge the expected increase in demand), thereby leading to increase in demand for dollars to facilitate the imports. There will be upward pressure on the naira.




External reserve is savings for a rainy day or used in emergencies when crude prices crash. It is not used for day to day transactions. A $45 billion can only sustain exports for a couple of months, depending on how bad the oil price crash is. The best way to defend the naira is either to restrict imports or increase local production.

Fuel is expensive in most western nations due to high taxes. They put high taxes on fuel to encourage people use public transportation. Furthermore, high fuel prices will have devastating effects on the socio economic life of Nigerians.


Petrol cannot be compared to diesel. The demand for petrol is way more than that of diesel and besides, lots of our diesel is produced locally (though illegally) in the Niger delta.


Better said than done. We have been trying to fix the power sector for the last 50 years with little progress.

Well explained thanks. Although I am one of those who was against minimum wage increase. It brings nothing but inflation. Rather, concentrate on rapid development of roads, transportation and health.

KidsNEXTdoor:
Nigeria cannot get better

It can only get worse

We the people are what is wrong with the country not the politicians....
We already know what they do in office... Lie and loot

Every four years repeat the same promises..
I will give you light
I will give you jobs
I will build roads etc

But we know all they do in office... Lie and loot
Still we applaud them for lying and looting

We are going round in circles with no direction...
Just making politicians filty rich

The foundation is faulty

Politicians are also 'we the people'.

wirinet:
Still the same problem of curing the symptoms and feeding the disease.

The over 50% increase in salary will be wiped out in less than a year due to almighty inflation. More money in people's pockets without a corresponding increase in productivity means more money chasing the same goods and services. We will bridge that increase in demand by increasing importation. Meaning more nairn chasing dollars, leading to fall in naira value, leading to increase in prices. Local products and services too will not be left behind and they will increase prices also.

So by this time next year;
Petrol will be close to N180/litre
Naira will be N450 in the blackmarket
Okada will be N100 minimum per drop.
Sliced bread will be N350 minimum
Electric rates will be N35/kwh
Pepsi will be N150 for small PET bottle.
House rent will increase by 30%
Etc.

How did you come about the Naira going to 450? Be objective and not sentimental.
The external reserve is 45B USD strong so there is only one way the naira will go and its downwards.
Regarding pump price, well I don't have much information on that but Nigeria is one of the countries that sell fuel far cheaper than even US, Saudi, IRaq, Oman, Qatar etc etc and with much much population that those arab countries. So do the maths. The country is strained.
There is no subsidy on diesel and I have been using it for 3 years now @220/ltr. Both at home and office and no scarcity.
Fix power sector and half of the population won't care if pump price is 1k/ltr.

falcon01:
So what? Hausa people say " Amfanin SANI Ragowa" if I happen to be in that position and want to award a contract, if a family member of mine is able and capable and is worth it am giving them, and if no family is capable am looking for a friend and if no friend is capable, I will throw it out to A random capable person.

Yea yea yea, reason politicians want the position shared so all men will spread the contract to their kins. I don't have any issues with who gets contract though as long as its not diverted.

It will be a welcome development in my humble opinion. If you want to defect, resign. Make I see how many of them that will honorably do so.

Warship:
Have you ever seen a payslip of any government official.?

If yes, find out the basic salary and the % of each allowance in respect to the basic salary.

When you do this, you will get the accurate increment.

Wetin you no sabi, keep quiet and ask.

Wages and Salary was increased by 50% up to 30,000. Asking if I have seen a pay slip is not the point I was making. Those 50k to 75k was just an example, I never said I was accurate in those figures.
Obviously, people currently making 40k, 50k and so on will receive raises as well, but their %age increase might be less than that of the actual minimum wage (30k) employee. So the effect of raising the minimum wage to a liveable level, will be widespread. I just rounded up the figure to drive my point.
I remember 2008 upwards during my banking days. In my department, I personally handled salaries of NPF Awka and State parastatals. I remember them coming to bank 30th of each month to ask if their salaries have been posted and yea I remember paying some of them even before posting their salaries to their accounts. I can then run the corresponding debit later in the night. So yea, I knew what a civil servant salary looked like.

Pls can you give me a few tips on how I can make my own dogs deadly, so far they are aggressive, and don't like strangers because I cage them and chain them alot, but I want them to be deadly, so what else can I do?

Some dogs naturally have that trait while some are trained to and others aren't interested at all.
What breed of dog do you have?

What nonsense are you calculating self.

Pls ask questions on how to calculate it.

Pardon? Seems what you all like doing here is insults without any healthy conversation.
If a wage is increased from 20k to 30k, what is the percentage increase? Maths professor!

Can this be done if I have already tiles the floor?
Will you do it on the tiles or the tiles will be removed?

paddyofboss:
Have u balanced that with their standard of living to see the true value?

Well, standard of living was never rosy pre2015. Nigeria have been messed up before now so lets not pretend to be surprised. The world have moved on over the years and wont be waiting for any un-serious country to catch up. It is looking obvious that our children will inherit this problem unless we face it headon today while they enjoy our sacrifice tomorrow.

SaintM90:
I just this country and it's media people... How many times will they say that "jibril has signed this into law when he hasnt"

Well 30,000 wouldn't solve 1/3 of the problems in this country!! This is totally unacceptable considering the economic hardship we're experiencing in this horrific administration

30k is minimum bro. Lets stop painting the picture that every worker earn 30k. It's the minimum pay for level 1 step 1. Check the increment in percentage and its impressive. 50% increase in salary is actually acceptable. People who earn 20k will now earn 30k, so is 50k will now earn 75k, those on 100k will earn 150k and so on and so fort. Its acceptable as far as am concerned.
