PoliticsRe: Pictures Of Gallant Nigerian Soldiers At The Field by gists: 4:13pm On Aug 08, 2015
shalomm:
so its PMB that bought the weapons for them abi?


I tire for una oooo.... Foolish [/b]APC's[b] Stupid [/b]PDP's[b]
No ooo. Admittedly, its GEJ that bought the guns for them. Only that GEJ forgot to buy enough bullets so our soldiers didn't have enough armo. That may be the reason why BH was chasing our soldiers to Cameroon where they surrendered their weapons.

God bless the soldier on the war front.
PoliticsRe: Troops Arrest Boko Haram Fuel, Food Suppliers - Dailytimes by gists:
war is 90% logistics.
Someone made an analogy of the way the last administration was fo0lishly or incompetently going about the war against BH. He said if you have a leaking pipe in your house and the room is flooded, the most rational thing to do is to stop the leakage or at least turn off the supply to the leaking pipe before thinking about mopping the floor.
The last administration kept "mopping" the floor by fighting with ill motivated soldiers while the "leaking pipe" was left unplugged i.e BH financiers are not captured, logistics suppliers like in this case were left to keep rendering all sorts of support to the terrorist group.
Kudos and God's Blessing to the Brave men on the front line.
PoliticsRe: Re: Equipping Of Nigeria Army And Airforce by gists: 7:07pm On Aug 07, 2015
If this is all we have after the supposed equiping of the military by GEJ, we really need to thank OBJ for not going to war with Cameroon over Bakasi (even though OBJ is also a big part of the problem).
But I find it ludicrous that someone think we should clap for GEJ for allegedly procuring this outdated hardware in 2015 after waiting of over 10000 lives to be wasted by BH.

Having written the pettition, i expect the security agents to investigate their claims.
That they wrote a petition doesn't necessarily mean the accused his guilty.
Now, let the investigation start
Exactly my thought. This is PDP rofo-rofo fight.
But then, no sacred cows
let the law enforcement agents do their work.
He should face the music if he is found guilty.

Some of us here are just being petty and vengeful. The 'clueless era' is long past, move on. What has any man without shoes got to do with the praises we should be showering these brave soldiers?

Finding a way to manipulate him and his followers into every news just to denigrate them is malicious. But of course, enjoy the pathetic 'likes' you garner on a mediocre post.
What has "likes" got to do with the truth?
Why does the truth hurt so much?
Is this not the same Nigerian Army that BH chased to Cameroon and surrendered weapons?
Is this not the same Nigerian Army that lost territories to BH?
I asked these questions b4 maybe you can help me with some answers
What variable has changed in this BH equation?
Has the Nigerian Army gone on more advanced/specialized training?
Have they recruited more soldiers?
Have they received more weapons because not even the supposed weapons from US is in their possession.
So what exactly changed that we now get this kind of positive report OTHER THAN CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP from a shoeless one to an ex-General?
Has PMB done anything extra-ordinary that GEJ couldn't have done to prevent so much loss of lives and properties?

keep leaving in denial. But after so much lives lost and many more ruined, Nigerians will not be deceived (hopefully) again by a sensless play of emotion by some shoeless dullards in future.

A day after Mr Darrel Issa of the Republican party visited PMB with a promise to lift the ban on arms agreement and trade with Nigeria, this decision was made and you are all happy with it. Mr Ibe will serve only interests that are alien to that of the APC government. It is synonymous with Sanusi's role in the GEJ administration. This is a plus for the PDP not the APC
Keep wailing. How is this a plus for pdp? Darrel visited PMB and the latter makes an appointment. Then it becomes a plus to pdp. even if it is true, how difficult is it for pmb to fire ibe?

PoliticsRe: Anambra Refinery Targets 3,000 Barrels Of Oil Per Day, Plans Gas Plant- Thisday by gists: 8:04am On Aug 04, 2015
AnamCity:
The management of Anambra state owned Orient Petroleum Resources Plc yesterday said the company is targeting to increase its crude oil production to 3,000 barrels per day by September.

Orient Petroleum Resources Plc was established by the Chinwoke Mbadinuju administration at Aguleri-Otu, Anambra East local government area of the state where a large volume of oil deposits was found.

It was however commissioned officially in August of 2012 by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

But the Managing Director of the oil company, Engr. Sunny Okoye told newsmen after a meeting of its Board of Directors and Governor Willie Obiano in Awka Monday that arrangements had been concluded with an indigenous company, Nails and Stanley ltd to establish a gas plant at Umueje in Ayamelum local government area and that the company had stepped up activities in two new oil wells in its Aguleri oil fields that would shore up the company’s production capacity to 3,000 bpd before the end of September this year.

PoliticsRe: Can The Igbo Play Opposition In Nigeria? by gists: 7:44am On Aug 04, 2015
Did Joe Igbokwe peeped into my profile? i wrote something similar waaayyy back in March

gists:
For the first time since Nigeria returned to democratic governance 16 years ago, the east and western parts of the country are about to switch side with respect to being in the ruling vs opposition party.
For example, Lagos is set to align for the first time with Aso rock since 1999! But While the south west had mastered the act of surviving being on the other side of the ruling party, South east is just about to have a taste of what it means to be an opposition.

The Igbos are very smart and hard working people - forget the brainless saTANoids on nairaland. We have seen some very prominent sons and daughters from that region under Obasanjo's administration. Sadly, GEJ's administration didn't promote any ace Igbo genius. However, I am confident they can weather the storm. But I hope we will not see another TAN singing senseless praises of Buhari if he errs or another Youth Earnestly Ask for Buhari (as we saw during Abacha's era).

Those making a mockery of Igbo may soon eat their words as we are about to truly see how resilient new breeds of people from that part of the country.
PoliticsRe: Army Set To Establish Brigade At Sambisa Forest- Punch by gists:
And the fo0lish TANoids call him a dullard.
Just a few months ago BH was taking on the Nigerian Army and claiming territories.
Today the same Nigerian Army is establishing a center in BH fortress.
The question is: What has changed? Has the NA gotten more weapons? Have they recruited more personnel's? Have they gone on more advanced training? How come the same BH that was chasing our soldier a few months back suddenly are on the back foot?
What has changed is the quality of and the body language of the leadership. We now have a no nonsense General as president not a certain drunk fedora hat wearing fisherman.
PoliticsRe: Buhari: We’re Identifying Banks Keeping Money For Oil Thieves- PUNCH by gists: 4:34am On Aug 04, 2015
As much as I want these thieves caught, I don't want a situation where the banks will be closed again i.e the local banks involved in the deals. The local banks are big (at least by ourbstandard) and employs a substantial number of people. This should be done but with extreme caution so the banks will not go under. Only the thieves and their accomplices shouyb thoroughly dealt with.
PoliticsRe: Nigerian Islamic Bank Set To Begin Operation In Ibadan by gists: 4:51pm On Aug 03, 2015
When the issue of registering the Islamic bank first came up, a lot of the so called intelligent ones and a certain punk-headed, libation-pouring pastor were up in agitation trying to prevent the registration. they claimed it was a northern agenda to islamize nigeria. It is well over two years (maybe over three years sef) and we are yet to see anyone forcefully converted since the bank has been operating.

Now the bank is coming to southwest yet the Biafra seeking bigots will not mind their biafra business. Is the bank coming to south east? lWhich one concern una with southwest now. No be una talk say southwest will be oduanistan? Just focus your energies on supporting Kanu and let southwest be - with or without Jaiz bank. let anyone (irrespective of religious affiliation) patronize Jaiz bank if s/he so wishes.

All I am concerned about is the TAX that the bank will pay the Oyo state government. We need all the companies we can get to come establish in our region. Let the bank also expand its operation to Ogun where there are countless of industrious people that will patronize it. Amosu should even give the bank some TAX holidays sef.

In 2015, you are still exchanging dollars by hand? Why not make a transfer from your bank here to the bank account of your business partner. Why must you pay dollars?
Any business in Nigeria that is not spending Naira within the shores of the country is pseudo-illegal.
Exactly what I was thinking. Why will somebody still be doing this primitive method of transaction when clearly there are official channels available to legal business through their banks.

Are you the only one doing int't transactions. There are countless other legal business that will really appreciate this move.
PoliticsRe: Lets Think Before Taking The Biafra Issue Further, By Chidi Obi by gists:
modhream:
Se o r'aiye e lode wayi,I asked you what the rump of SW "region" would have been without Lagos and Ondo and you are citing stat including and heavily tilted to Lagos.See why I said you're to retarded to be having this argument?.
Your Tinubu APC was totally against the conference,didn't send any delegates and just last week dumped its report in the garbage bin.A report which,tho imperfect,is still better than what we currently have.So,what the hell are you yapping about?.
man why are you disgracing yourself in public like this? you asked a dumb question and I gave you stats to show how dumb the question is, yet you still get mouth to talk. How much does Ondo presently contribute to SW economy? We all know Lagos is a power house not only in Nigeria but also in Africa. That is no news. And are we supposed to be defensive of that feat? We are proud of it just as we are proud of the industries in Ogun. But how critical is your so-called riches from Ondo to the survival of SW region. BTW Lagos matured to that level under Tinubu/APC who you so much loathe - so what exactly is your point or is Lagos not in SW? Is Lagos the only SW state in the stats I showed you? On one hand you admit Lagos is a powerhouse, on the other hand you despise the person/team that made Lagos what it is; and asking what would have happened to SW without Lagos - shame on you.

I am sure you are one of the olodos that still think about oil money. leave the Oil for the SS. It is their resource and they can and should have all of it. But get this fact into your head, the oil money in Ondo cannot do much for SW economy - it is just an added bonus. Until you are able to prove that SW will really suffer without Ondo I don't think I should be discussing with a blocked head.

As for the confab. Yes Tinubu/APC were initially against the confab because they knew well ahead that it was all a scam. and now even you too have confirmed it when you admitted the report is not perfect. But is the fact that Tinubu was initially against it the reason you said SW did not ask for regional autonomy? How does Tinubu trashing the report after the confab has long been completed amount to APC sabotaging the Yoruba regional autonomy agenda? You are even contradicting yourself - APC did not send delegate; Tinubu/APC sabotaged SW agenda. He must really be powerful to be able to sabotage/influence the confab even though he did not send delegate.

asha80:
I am not really a power expert but I believe that any power generation plant built should take care of the distribution area it was sited..like if this larfarge power plant is built in an area under ikeja distribution area then all the power generated in the plant should distributed within ikeja distribution area..this will help minimize or eliminate power loss if it was to be sent to 'central national grid ' as is being practised now
While this is not a thread for electric power problem, let me just chip in a word.
I agree partially with the first half of your point. i.e any power generation plant should take care of the distribution area it was sited.
BUT you still need a national grid to export excess power so other areas can tap from. It is not always economical for every area to generate its own electricity. It may also be necessary for an area with its own power plant to take power from other places - maybe due to natural disaster or something. So the electrical network should have some flexibility for such maneuvering. The transmission losses are minimal just that our network is just trash. Everywhere I have been to have a national grid.
But again I completely agree with your first submission.
