Kudos to lagos state lasema officials for prompt response. That's example of a responsive governor. Hope other states governors can emulate this.

Mtcheeew. Rubish. Is that what we sent him to national assembly to do. A whole senator of fed rep of nig going to cnn studio to just pose. Very childish.

she is enjoying the money stolen by her greedy father and grandmother,I am an Abian,and it pains me to see that my state is one of the most under developed states in Nigerian,despite the fact that Abia State has so many resources to competes with lagos state,but this girl's father and mother sucked the state,turned it into there family inheritance,then handed it over to another short thief (Theodore Orji)

That's the problem we are all facing with these leaders and its widespread. It cuts acrosses all geopolital regions, east,west,ss and north. Our common problem is corruption but unfortunately some people here on nairalans see it as ethnic thing.they spend all their time bashing and attacking each others tribe. Is a pity we still have a long way to go.

Mtcheeew. Is that the only thing Nasrda has to offer us. We have satelites in space yet it cannot be utilised for profitable use to advance our econmy, it cannot be used to locate the chibok girls etc. Yet billions of naira is allocated to them every year doing nothing. Abeg make them park well joor.

It is much very likely that crude oil may be discovered in commercial quantity in the North but that has not still solved the problem of mono economy. Diversification is the answer. Agriculture should be fully explored to the maximum potential.the recession is biting hard in all the oil exporting countries. Oil is no longer the gold mine. Natural gas and solid minerals are presently grossly under utilized.

At least she is above 18, that one still better nau. Some of them take 13years old minnors as wives.

Well. Better late than never. Let's see how the implementation goes. Meanwhile, the menace of the fulani herdsmen needs to be factored in or else the whole programme will be a waste of time and resources.

No long story, just make yurself available in DSS office and state yur own side of the story. Even if the army under the previous administration did not give you audience, now that we have a new sherriff in town please come forward and represent your case with evidence that you are genuine and not a scam peace broker as we witnessed during GEJ.

For those too lazy to read.

The lawyer focus was on Ondo, not Buhari. He mentioned how Tinubu is trying to impose a leader to Ondo, rather than giving the ppl right to choose. He equally mentioned how Tinubu is part of the problem of the country's poor democracy.

The only time he mentioned Buhari is when he mentioned that Tinubu accepted his disagreement to Buhari. He did state though that the only reason Tinubu imposed Buhari on ppl is because and I quote " winnability". In other words, Tinubu focus was to remove GEJ, nothing more. Says a whole lot

Thanks for the summary bros. However there were some contradictions in the long epistle. For instance, while the writer credited Tinubu for fighting for democracy he also carpeted him for destroying true democracy. All in all we know the reason for this epistle is because of the personal ambition of the writer. If by chance he gets the governoship ticket and eventually wins at the poll, will he remember the masses? Is it not the same trend among all of them in all the geopolitical zones. Most of the incubent governors nominate their successors be it PDP.APC,APGA etc.

I concur with the death sentence buh Ritualists should be added too

Including kidnappers, pipeline vandals, rapists etc.

One of the greatest undoing of this administration is the quality of men he assembled in his cabinet.OBJ and GEJ got better team but corruption scandal cast a big shadow over their achivement. A technocrat in form of Aganga,Adeshina,Pat Utomi etc is what we need to move this country forward. We don't need politicians, they can't help us. If we have seasoned economic team in place am sure we won't be where we are right now.

And what did the authority do? Are they still watching him walking about freely? That can't happen in Nigeria and the guy still posting it in his facebook. These end time young miracle workers pastors need to be checkmated in Africa.

I sometimes imagine if some people on this forum have sense at all...e.g this dumbass nigga I just quoted..Ethnicity has so much eaten deep into some kids on nairaland..The FG is about tackling a sensitive issue and some kids are killing themselves on the internet about someone being Ibo or Yoruba ..GROW UP KIDS!!

You just spoke my mind bros. Can you imagine all that someone is able to bring out from this significant meeting is ethnicity, tribal war. Cmmon, what's wrong with some of these nairalanders. Some comments make me sick.

Hmmm, gradually soft pedalling. I foresee a situation where kanu will be made to do an undertaking to ' be of good behaviour' before he can gain his freedom back. Everything lies on the advise given to him by his counsel.let's wait annd see how the whole drama unfolds.

dejavski:
You obviously don't know jack about Ondo state... mind you am from ilaje community and we have direct access to the sea

Don't mind their ignorance. At least if you don't know something, you can quickly google for it. Somebody will come online and exhibit such level of ignorance.they don't know Ondo is a riverine state just like lagos,bayelsa, rivers etc. And to the topic of discussion, the whale was not killed by those men. They only came to feast on it after it must have swept offshore by the wave. It was a dead whale.

A technocrat wiould have been an ideal candidate for Nigeria but how will he get there without the support and sponsor by a politician.So also is nearly impossible for a completely new and unknown candidate to be accepted across all the geopolitical zones of the country. We have no option than to make do with what we already have. All we need is a strong institution. If this is entrenched in all facets of goverment I think we will better off at the long run. Corruption is our greatest problem. If there is a leader that can genuinely and consistently fight and ensure zero tolerance for it, I think thas the first step. Then a visionary leader in the form of Fashola,Obiano,Atiku,Okorocha,etc combined with seasoned economic team will make a significant and positive impact over a period of time. Let's be conscious that there is no quick fix for the economy for now. It will take a while before we can start experiencing any meanigful impact. But as it is now, no single individual can profer solution to Nigeria's present woes. It is a collective effort.

– The Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA) insists Jonathan is a grand patron of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA)

– RNDA says it is disappointed that Jonathan has denied his affiliation with the NDA

– The group has threatened to reveal more incriminating details

The Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA), a splinter group of the Niger Delta Avengers has insisted former President Goodluck Jonathan is the grand patron of the Niger Delta Avengers.


Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has been threatened by the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers.

Daily Post reports that the RNDA threatened to reveal more sordid details about Jonathan’s connection with the Avengers.

The group made the disclosure in a statement made available to newsmen. The statement detailed how NDA was formed with the sole objective of taking over from the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) and countering their activities.

RNDA said it understands why Jonathan denied the NDA.

The statement signed by its Spokesperson, Cynthia Whyte said: “It therefore did not come to the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA) as a surprise that the Grand Patron of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has distanced himself from the NDA.

“Like every sponsor, sympathizer and operative earlier mentioned who has equally denied links with the Avengers, we can understand the wisdom behind their decision; as their participation was always meant to be covert.”

The statement further disclosed that “after a clandestine meeting in Otuoke, Bayelsa state in 2014 between the Grand Patron and several unidentified persons ahead of the Presidential election campaign of 2015, it was agreed that the Okah brothers should be contacted to reach out to the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) to endorse former President Goodluck Jonathan, and work with the group of persons to ensure victory for the PDP and President Jonathan.”

Below is the statement in full.

“To cut a long story short, NDA was formed to counter MEND but failed. The statement, however, said that the RNDA is not surprised that the alleged grand patron of the NDA, former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has distanced himself from the NDA.

“It therefore did not come to the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA) as a surprise that the Grand Patron of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has distanced himself from the NDA.

“Like every sponsor, sympathizer and operative earlier mentioned who has equally denied links with the Avengers, we can understand the wisdom behind their decision; as their participation was always meant to be covert.

“After a clandestine meeting in Otuoke, Bayelsa state in 2014 between the Grand Patron and several unidentified persons ahead of the Presidential election campaign of 2015, it was agreed that the Okah brothers should be contacted to reach out to the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) to endorse former President Goodluck Jonathan, and work with the group of persons to ensure victory for the PDP and President Jonathan.

“At the time, because MEND was the suggested tool, the NDA as a body was not yet formed.

“Mr Kingsley Kuku and Mr. Gordon Obuah, SA on Niger Delta and Chief Security Officer to President Jonathan, respectively were selected to visit Charles Okah in Kuje prison. Mr Daniel Alabrah was given the assignment to draft an endorsement statement for Charles Okah to go through and pass on to MEND.

“The duo reported back that they had visited Okah in Kuje prison at night with the promise of his release along with others should he cooperate to get MEND to endorse Jonathan.

“It therefore came as a shock when MEND did the opposite and endorsed Buhari. Mr. Jonathan was livid with anger and swore that the Okah’s would rot in prison.

“It was also agreed that a show of force be put up in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state where ex-militants led by Government Ekpemupolo and Kingsley Kuku would threaten war should the electorate vote in Buhari’s favour.

“It was around that period the idea of forming the Niger Delta Avengers was conceived. In fact the name “Avengers” came from the lips of Goodluck Jonathan.


“As election day approached, certain stakeholders were mobilized to form a force to standby and ensure total anarchy in the South-South and South-East within 24 hours if the election results were not favourable to Jonathan. It took everyone by surprise to learn that Mr Jonathan had conceded defeat even before the final results were released. The standby force who were to attack specific targets were told to stand down. They were all compensated in US dollars cash.

“The Niger Delta Avengers was born from the failure at the polls and would now be used as an organ to make the Buhari government ungovernable, bring economic hardship and cause hatred for the administration towards failure at the 2019 general elections.

“MEND was aware of this plot through a spy that could not be identified, and the group began its campaign to counter every effort of the NDA and the Biafra agitators to this day. MEND has been a thorn in the flesh because MEND’s successful propaganda has caused the split in our ranks today.

“If former President Jonathan provokes us further with denials of this revelation, we will reveal more sordid details. The prison authorities in Kuje who witnessed the closed door meeting from the outside can attest to that night visit of November 2014.”

In the same vein, The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), has declared that former President Goodluck Jonathan is a grand patron of new militant group, the Niger Delta Avengers.

MEND’s statement corroborated the earlier claim by the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers that Jonathan was truly behind the formation of the dreaded group.

According to MEND, the former president was sponsoring the NDA to destabilise the government of his successor, President Muhammadu Buhari.

A statement signed by one Jomo Gbomo said GEJ should not deny being the grand patron of the group, which had been blowing up oil facilities in the Niger Delta region.

“MEND cannot hold brief for the RNDA, which pointedly accused Mr. Jonathan of complicity in fueling the ongoing Niger Delta crisis and patronising the NDA, apparently for political reasons.

“We are, however, quick to point out the fact that the RNDA has merely vindicated MEND’s belief and conviction that the former President and his cronies, who lost the 2015 presidential election, were using the illegal and treasonable NDA platform to destabilise President Buhari’s government,” MEND’s statement partly read.

This is no longer funny. Aa a matter of urgency the governors and leaders of eastern states need to declare this a state of emergency. Same way edo state battled with issue of women traficking and prositution. This has to stop. Let's put ethnicity aside now because the foreigners regonise them as Nigerians. The ethnicity does not matter to them. If they can go as far as using MFM church as a front to perpetrate this criminal activities, then this is really serious and cause for concern.

The wise woman builds her house but the foolish pulls it down with her hands..Proverb 14:1.... Shikenah.

GEJ and his die hard supporters. Must you make noise at every moves he makes weather rightly or wrongly. Do you know the number of African counties OBJ has gone to supervise elections.OBJ is a UN ambassador and he goes about his duty quietly without all this media hype. Afterall, the presido of Ghana and other african leaders were also in Nigeria for similar exercise during 2015 presidential election. Who all these noise epp?

Why are some people so naïve and dogmatic.can't we be objective just once in our comments. What is wrong with a peaceful protest. Anybody has a constitutional right to protest if they feel aggrieved or unsatisfied with some of the goverment's policies. Even if Obiano is doind well,yet this type of thing cannot be totally ruled out because you cannot please everybody no matter how you try. Same type of protest came up during Fashola's tenure in lagos state despite his great achievement in the state. Bottom line, let's learn to be objective in our assessment.

It appears this is the only man that fayose respects in Nigeria. I haven't seen him doing this before for anyone no matter how old.

Is there no governor in Ogun state? Why is all these crminal activities going on and he's keeping silence. Is he waiting until they advance to goverment house abeokuta before he sees this as a matter of urgency. I thought they say Ogun state is one of the top security conscious state. May God save all the innocent and defeceless citizen in that region.

I keep hearing Mikel obi captain of u23 repeatedly of course not former which makes me wonder whether Mikel Obi is under 23 years old and if not why is he there with the u23 squad


#i need clarification please

There is a provision for inclusion 2 or 3 overaged players in the football team. It is general, not only Nigeria team.

The learning point here;
We are just living at the mercy of God. We also rejoice with the family of Adelakin for the divine intervention in the life of their daughter Praise. Such a young and pretty 18 years 300 level law student with a bright future. We shall not be a victim of kidnappers and ritual killers in the mighty name of Jesus. And God will expose those evil men in our society in Jesus name.

That one no hard nau. Let him just treck back from Abuja to lagos to undo his first action and call it a protest treck.

This man is a square peg in a round hole. As far as am concerned, the sports ministry does not have a minister. Bolaji abdulahhi is one of the best hands Nigeria has ever gotten in that ministry. I don't know where PMB got this one o. Except miracle happens, I don't see Nigeria making any headway in sport until a competent hand is engaged in that ministry to replace this present one.

[size=18pt]That means una never watch the Nollywood movie "Ada the shoe maker"
Nothing strange for naija again and no 1 cares.
That's the spirit of HUSTLE[/size]
Trust me, one day, this will make her somebody. Hustle go pay

Not an encouraging comment. You don't compare a nollywood movie role played by Ada with someone that actually do it real life. Don't say who cares. Its a challenge to you and I ad every other graduates out there who are still waiting for salary jobs that are not forth coming.

Very childish post. You don't like a particular ethnic group for NO reason. Yet you live in their community safely for years without any harrasment, intimidation,etc. And you are on nairaland, a forum created by a yoruba man. Wake up man. Hatred will lead you nowhere but rather self inflicted hurt and injury.

She is not normal. She needs to be rehabilitated. It is obvious she has a phsyco issue. No woman will willingly do that. Its unfortunate the situation was not handled on time before it degenerated to this level. Its very unfortunate. So sad.
