How can a grenade launcher wipe out an entire division. .my friend you talk like a learner .

You should take the info on Wikipedia with caution. Articles can easily be created or modified.
For example, I just edited the info about mitral Mohammed later becoming the Nigerian head of state.
It's even possible that the topic was created today. I checked the last time it was edited before I edited. It was 1 hour ago

These christians are always out looking for problem with the muslims. May be that one thinks he is on nairaland. For God's sake, what is the meaning of this rubbish? U will see them insulting muslims everywhere for no reason only to turn around and start forming the victim. After creating the storm, they will be asking why the rain. Has any muslim ever insulted Jesus Christ? This thing is getting too much. And they know very well that a muslim will never take that from u except if u hide behind the laptop to do that. We shall see the end of this problem they looking for upandan.

Is killing the percieved aggressor what Islam dictates? Evil thrive and the name of Islam is poorly showcased when people kill for it and more so when people that should condemn such acts tacitly support it like you seem to be doing
We should all condemn this act of murder, no matter what the guy said, unless you think Islam supports such killings.
If you do, I have no further comments

Let's counter your point, but first I don't give a f abt PDP, PDP and APC are the same damn thing..


1. Wrt debt, how much is Nigeria borrowing daily? As specified by our budget?? Check that up-dont embarrass yourself. The previous govt borrow based on need which embarrassingly include salaries. The current government borrows daily, regardless of the so-called loot they've recovered.. Or so they say

2. BH was completely eliminated that 6weeks to election, they were forced into hiding.. So its not nice to lie to yourself

3.stealing is actually not corruption, if you're educated enough you'll understand that. Both are vices but not same. For Dasuki and co, they're still innocent until a court of competent jurisdiction find them guilty. Only a judge or jury can actually say they did steal- the law could be pretty annoying sometimes, not you. BTW, those guys are still leaving in wealth and affluence, don't be deceived, Nigeria is heavily messed up. If you're related to Dasuki or Metu, you'll get job faster than a bullet in this messed up country.

4. Your figures are incorrect, you could have researched exactly figures before using it as a point. Well, how much is our reserve now? Are you aware its at the lowest ever? Go figure out the exact figures. So what did we achieve with the depletion?

Its pointless to defend the government... PDP, APC are the same damn people, the government don't give a f abt u, previous, present and all governments! The current fuel scarcity -how long has it been? How is light in your area? We all pray and hope the government succeed, but let's not lie to ourselves, they are doing pretty messed up job now. BTW, heard The president saying we should go fight vandals ourselves of we want light? (The spokesman speak on his behalf, remembe?)

I usually don't respond to people who say things like "if you are educated enough". I wonder why you can not make a point without being condescending. I will make an exception in this case though.

1. This is a spurious statement as Nigeria is not borrowing money to pay salaries now. If you have facts, you can put it up. Don't forget that even IMF attested to the determination and ability of this govt to roll back the rot.

2. BH was completely eliminated?? You really mean that? All the attacks perpetrated after the election must have been from aliens then.

3. Stealing of public funds by public official officials is definitely corruption. Check the meaning of corruption online. Its something that I have done, so don't think its an insult. I will never downgrade to that level even if I'm trying to make an obvious point like this.

4. Why not give us the accurate figures. In fact it was less than what I stated. It was actually, about 34.5 billion dollars as at May 29th.

People have forgotten that
- NOI said she had developed hypertension trying to borrow money to pay salaries. By now, I bet Nigeria would have borrowed again from IMF. They would have been in charge of our economy by now. Just ask Greece.

- BH were on rampage with all of Borno state except Maiduguri under their control. Maiduguri is the size of Lagos, Oyo and half of Ogun state.

- stealing was not corruption, now it is. Or do you still think that Dasuki and co did not steal?

- our reserves went down from about 60 billion during OBJ to less than 35 billion, at a time oil was selling for the highest amount in ten years.

I could go on and on

# pls counter this with facts and not name calling

Check bhpglobal jobs. They had interviews in Lagos on 24th and 25th of March, 2016. (jobs@globalventures.com)

Nigerians should all be in tears if this is true. A man who stated categorically that he collected a large sum of money (in the range if 400million naira) for reasons which he refuses to say, is about to be left off the hook and our attention is on how to rubbish APC
Chai!!!

obailala:
Who dey deplete our reserves?... it is you and I who prefer to buy 'made in UK' handkerchief with $5 instead of the one made in Aba for N50.

The nation is presently suffering from what is termed a 'negative balance of trade'. Before now, let's assume the total amount of forex leaving Nigeria per month was $10billion (this amount includes money spent importing fuel, food, clothes, foreign school and medical fees, you $5 handkerchief etc), this forex outflow of $10bn is balanced by a forex inflow of $10bn or more mainly from oil sales. Today the proceeds from oil sales has fallen by 70%, but our taste for foreign goods has obviously not changed. So today we are getting inflow of only $3bn but still spending $10bn. This is the negative balance of trade which is reducing the reserves.

To manage this crisis and prevent reserves from reaching zero, cbn has totally stopped releasing forex to banks and BDCs which help people like yourself who want to buy a mere handkerchief; except you can prove that you want to purchase an essential commodity like import fuel or rice etc, the cbn will not release its scarce forex to you. So the forex which your bank sold to you for N350 was not gotten from cbn, it was from the blackmarket. The blackmarket guys get their forex from diverse sources (including raw cash from people who return from diaspora). The scarcity of forex in the open market is the reason why it sells for up to N350 or N400.

I hope people will read this. It is easy enough to understand. Personally, I believe that banning specific items from the CBN forex fund list is the way to go. Ultimately, it encourages local manufacturing. With time , people would rather buy the locally made "handkerchiefs" and co, thereby sustaining someone's employment than buy foreign goods.

GraceBestowed:
Not at all, I did nothing out of the ordinary, it literally just happened out of the blue; doctors were mystified as it, usually, is a result of *something*, but in my case, no. :-)

It is a rare disease in the western world, but not so rare in Nigeria, especially northern Nigeria. My team and I have seen and managed over twenty of such cases in the past few months.

It may have no obvious cause, such are said to be idiopathic in origin.
We are working on publishing our experience in this region.

It is noteworthy that the survival rate for full blown ones is not quite encouraging.

Congrats!!

there arnt much places where seaports can be placed in SE o, most possible ones are d anambra river, or cross river areas,. . . . . .but even at that it won't be a major seaport

I wanted people to understand this fact, so that we all know what to demand for (within the confines of reality)

@OP.. u don't want fanatics but ur write up has loads of Igbo hate hidden in between..

Well to answer you, igbos re known for their entrepreneurial Prowess, that is why they re everywhere.
Igbo towns thrive on Business so how would another tribe come to igbo land to compete with people who re naturally blessed in what they do..

The few yoruba guyz I see in my village/town is because of the industries(Breweries) around..

Sure if the east is allowed to own their own Sea Port nd major Industrialization cutting across most eastern state u would certainly see more of other tribes.

For information sake, which Igbo state would you like the sea port situated in ?

I just watched the video and it was typical BH propaganda video. Shooting into the air, and running around. The tank captured was not a T72. The attack was led by a suicide bomber which is the typical MO for BH. BH has been reduced to this kind of hit and run attack.
Shame on the eejits who first commented without watching the video.
Video link: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0e9_1448636499

I didn't spot any captured Nigerian soldier in the video. Maybe you uploaded the wrong link.

Realdeals:
Am sure 99% of those that comment above did not watch the video.

I couldn't watch it because the video was unavailable. Wonder if anyone actually watched before making comments

[size=15pt]Can this Automobile a.k.a Napep ply Lagos to port harcourt.........


i see no reason why we need a napep with AC when it will only take you from Allen junction to Ikeja under bridge

and drop you inside the hot sun


one more question..............does it have Anti Trailer accident
[/size]

The ones without AC will not be scrapped, so it is a matter of choice which one you choose to board

Happiness87:
see stupidity

if PDP can force you to sign fake results, APGA can as well force you to testify on their behalf

Nice one. But how do you account for the alterations?

MusaIbrahim1:
We will pelt the monkey called oshomole with stones... Then we will send the pretty iara back to Ethiopia... Of he actually said that, then osho is really suffering from mouth diarrhoea

I thought you would have wanted to know if this allegations are true or not.

Does it not matter at all?

Amansu:
Nigerians are aware of the massive thievery that went on under GEJ, NOI and Diezani in their rock-bottom standard of living and inability of government to pay salary

Interestingly, some of the people that were shortchanged will willingly die for these people.

There is need for research in this area.

We should first ascertain that the said degree is fake before throwing stones.

In addition, an honourary degree is not an academic qualification, therefore it is not used in job applications.



A honorary doctorate degree is never equal to a PhD. People really need to be more discerning. For example Kollington Ayinla the Fuji maestro has an honorary doctorate, do we now say he has a PhD as well?

What is the recommended gear oil for kia cerato 2005.
Thanks

ClockworkOrange:
The BBOG scammers. Only Yoruba people buy this scam, so shameful

I hope you know that the US, UK amongst others also "bought" it. In fact the UK commission said at one point they could have rescued them , just yesterday. Maybe they don't know what they are saying, after all you and some other Nigerians have more info on it than all of the world powers put together.

What is the source of this info??

Nice one. What are the financial implications?

kibo:
Mr House of Rep, Charity begins at home.

There is no point beating around the bush, show a good example by cutting down your allowances first.

Others will follow suit. Buhari will handle his DSS Operatives, EFCC,ICPC,and co. will fish out corrupt individuals.

We know you might not sponsor any bill, all we are saying is CUT DOWN YOUR ALLOWANCES !! Oil prices are dwindling, you and your colleagues should be patriotic and make amendments.

N.B: I can see a man with a broom happy because the Rep is from PDP, another opportunity to bash pointlessly, this is an issue that cuts across all party lines.

Rarely do I see such display of insight as you have done on Nairaland nowaday . The earlier people realise that fighting for the good of this country should overshadow party affiliations, the better.

PhockPhockMan:
Meaning what? Is it not the same weekend they submitted asset declaration form?
Why wait for working day to make it public?

The declarations they made will be verified by the code of conduct bureau before being made public. Check out what happened during the days of Yar'Adua as well.

dridowu:
MizMyColi can u see the firm handshake with Buhari now ? can u also see that their is no red carpet for Obama and Mitt Romney also ?
dunkem21 kindly show me the black carpet Obama and Mitt Romney are standing on ?

Lovely response. I think this will keep everyone quiet, hopefully

ken4jj:
I dont give a damn about APC cos naija politicians are crap. You say we should applaud this administration cos they problem is not solvable. On a second thought, i blame we nigerians cos greed is in our DNA, that is why nothing works here.

I like what you have written so far.
But greed and stubbornness is in every human. It is the system that stops them from over exhibiting those tendencies.
That is why when there is a lights out even in US , people will break into and loot shops. But once there is light, CCTV working, police around, they simply behave themselves.
Where the reward and justice system is upsidedown, this is what happens. And the system is made to work first by the leaders. Leadership is about making people believe in a cause enough to abide by it. You don't cast blame as leaders.

martyns303:
My Brother don't say what u don't know.

Let me start by saying that I have no confidence in any Nigerian political office holder, and that is why I don't own a voters card and I have never voted.

That been said, I had a very rare opportunity of talking one on one with a major player in this country and it was an eye opener, Nigerians were told that oil marketers are holding the country to a ransom and nobody believed, weeks later we are on a long queue trying to buy fuel, Buhari has said he doesn't know what fuel subsidy is, he his about to find out.

The Jonathan administration has been labeled very corrupt and wastage in excess, has anyone ever wondered where is the money going? A huge junk is spent on oil subsidy to prevent long queues has we have it now, when he tried to remove subsidy because of the amount of money put into it, Nigerians cried foul. A lot of things are falling apart and the government had to keep pumping in money to hold things together.

Now that the man is leaving and is taking his hands off things, Nigerians can now see how everything has come crumbling, yes he his still the president till 29th, but by that time how much more Billion dollars would have been used to maintain marketers? Then he would have been accused of last minute looting.

Nigeria is a very complex society, I am patiently waiting for what the next administration has to offer.

It is a herculean task defending GEJ at this point in time.
The oil marketers are holding Nigeria to ransom because we allowed it. Why can't NNPC itself import fuel to cushion this effect?? Or do they not have the capacity?

You should note, that nobody would have been against subsidy removal if the refineries were working. The first thing he should have done was to put the palliatives in place (e.g working refineries), instead he wanted to remove it without any palliative measures.
Even the SUREa-P he instituted has not had the kind of effect it should have had.
. Fuel goes for about .70 cents in the united states today and that is because they have working refineries. Which is a country that relies a lot on shale oil, which is even more expensive to exploit than crude oil
I can tell you categorically that if the refineries are working fully, we will buy fuel at cheaper than a hundred naira per litre.

This is old news. it Happened sometime around 2012.

If this man had contested for president, some would have said he will islamicize Nigeria.

It looks more like a hall than a church to me
