AS USUAL YORUBA PEOPLE OPENING THREAD CLAIMING (SS) IBIBIO....... YET NO LINK TO HIS SOURCE

What really matters here is the content of the post.

eastsidechillz:
Now am angry

May thunder fire you and fire anybody who think like you.

We have never bowed t anybody and we will never do.

An average IGBO MAN will rather die than bow to you.

Let me tell you, if dare me I will locate you where ever you are and prove it to you.

You posted this with your IP address right. Don't ever threaten me. You bloody imposter

It's not new that ipob or whatever ever has issued a million threat and non had effect. You are as foolish as your yahoo yahoo leader.

YorubaMod:
Afonja keep deceiving urself...

Is Afonja in English dictionary? Try and be civil.

eastsidechillz:
Who ever opened this thread just insulted the IGBO NATION

We don't need these people

I repeat, we don't need them.

This re the same people that the FG has abandoned since the creatin of this country.

They are the number one choice for house maid s and house girls because they don't even know their worth.

CALABAR port should've been the biggest port in NIGERIA due
To its proximity to the east and North

Just imagine how these Two states will be develope if these Yoruba's and Hausa monopoly on Port and investment is shifted to

AKWAIBOM and CALABAR. but this d same Country has frustrated all effort to achieve this.

AKWAIBOM today produce the largest quantity of crude yet almost all the Oil company have their headquarters in Lagos

And pay task there,

government only give them 13% derivation that even took agitation and militancy to achieve.

CALABAR LOST BAKASSI peninsula and the same NIGERIA abandoned the Indegenous people of this land to the point that

Some of them denounced their nationality.

Is it thesekind of people that we want to be part of BIAFRA?

people that don't even know their left and right.

PEOPLE that stands to benefit even more than the IGBOS in the proposed BIAFRA.

I WILL SIEZE TO SUPPORT BIAFRA IF I SEE ANOTHER THREAD TELLING THESE PEOPLE TO JOIN BIAFRA.

If you don't keep quite, Ibibios will issue their own quit notice. I hope you know what that means.

"The ibibio youth federation " ..made up of only 20persons can't speak for the whole akwa ibom that have been coming to Nnamdi Kanu's house to clamour for Biafra ...The nigeria federal govt and ewedu slayers can do better than this nah

No Ibibio person has ever gone to where ever that yahoo boy stays. Can you please mention one verifiable name or a picture of same? Ibibios are with pride wise Nigerians.

When you add lies to you ignorance, u are completely finished

Igboesika:
Why all these online nonsense... ?Just let the referendum be conducted and let's see how the people that will be ashamed.

We all know why Nig govt is afraid of referendum.

The Masses have to decide and not some few individuals ...

Conduct referendum ist

This is how to get referendum; A senator or house of representative member will stand up a read a motion for referendum and the debate will start. So are you saying that out of the 15 Senators, 67 house of representative members from the South East, non can do this simple task? Referendum doesn't fall from the sky. The point is that 90% of the so called Biafran agitators are either ignorant or hypnotized.

"A socio-cultural group in Akwa Ibom"

You guys don't have anything to fight for? are you guys scared of the odd of having an Emir of lagos once the Igbos secedes?

Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio is the largest socio--cultural organisation in Ibibio land. Take note

June 25, 2017Cletus Ukpong

The Ibibio Youth Federation claim the Akwa Ibom governor is against the Ibibio. The Ibibio Youth Federation has stated its unwavering support for President Goodluck Jonathan and warned the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio, against fanning the flames of hatred between the Ibibio and the President'. A statement…
Akwa Ibom has not appreciated Babangida enough, former governor says
The former military ruler created Akwa Ibom and Katsina states in 1987.
Biafra: Ohaneze Ndigbo speaks on IPOB, MASSOB sit-at-home orderBiafra: Ohaneze Ndigbo speaks on IPOB, MASSOB sit-at-home orderNorthern group, calling for exit of Igbos, writes Osinbajo; asks him to allow Biafra RepublicNorthern group, calling for exit of Igbos, writes Osinbajo; asks him to allow Biafra Republic
A socio-cultural group in Akwa Ibom State, Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio, has protested against the reported inclusion of the state in an imaginary Biafran map.
The group accused the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, of including Akwa Ibom and other states within the south-south region of Nigeria on the Biafran map without consulting them.
It said it considered the inclusion an act of disrespect and provocation.
“We wish to remind the concerned Igbos that this senseless arrogance and callous disrespect for the Ibibio person, an endemic and pathological trait of their extraction has been at the core of the differences of our two nationalities,” the group said in a statement signed by its President, Monday Etokakpan, and Secretary General, James Edet.
“And so as it was in the first republic, so it is now and so shall it be in times to come. Ibibio has nothing in common with Igbo. To wit, we differ in ancestry, culture, beliefs, character traits, language, food, names, dressing and all.”
The group said if Nigeria were to break up today, Akwa Ibom would be “at home and in league with our kin and kindred in the proposed Atlantic Republic consisting of present States of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, and Rivers.
“Our Capital City shall be Port Harcourt, our Currency and Language shall both be Lanti.”
The group said that Akwa Ibom, for now, prefers to stay within the Nigeria federation.


“If the Igbos will be honestly desirous, sincerely determined and eventually successful in breaking away from Nigeria, we the Ibibio people in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States will be totally indifferent and will only be here to bid them fare-well.
“As a distinct and independent-minded people of over seven million in population we will continue to weigh our options in the Nigerian chase board and make the right moves the way we want it, in the direction we want, at the time we want and will partner with whomever we want to, if we must partner with anyone, to serve our best interest,” the group said.
The group said it was “unfortunate though not surprising” for the northern youth to order the Igbos to leave the north before October 1. It blamed the situation on the country’s refusal to start a process of restructuring the federation.”
The call by the northern group has been condemned by state and federal officials.
“We call on Northern Nigeria opinion leaders, elders, religious and political leaders and indeed the Federal Government to do the needful in reining in this mindless radicalism from their youth,” the group said.
“Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio would like to remind the northern Nigerians that no one, youth or elders, in the country has the monopoly of violence and that the lives and legitimately acquired property of the Ibibio person means the world to us.
“Therefore, no harm must befall them wherever they have chosen to live in Nigeria and indeed anywhere on the surface of the earth. Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio believes and will ensure that the Ibibio people exact pound for pound, flesh for flesh and life for life if necessary,” the group said.

The Federal Ministry of Education has debunked claims that Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK) has been removed as a subject of study from the secondary school curriculum and Islamic Religious Studies reintroduced.

According to the Director of Press, Federal Ministry of Education, Mrs. Chinenye Ihuoma, the ministry has designed a new subject which merged Civic Education, IRS, CRK and Social Studies into “Religion and National Values”.

She said,

“The alternation is not from the minister, this is purely from the National Council on Education. It is just as the council has said that History should be a subject of its own at the basic level in the first nine years.

“Now, a new subject has been introduced, called Religion and National Values. It is a fusion of religion and civics.

I have not seen the details but in a case where you have subject combinations in the same period, everyone will attend lectures that correspond with their own religion.

Arabic and Islamic Studies are not standing alone. Islamic Religious Study and Christian Religious Study as well as national values will be taught under a new subject,’’ she said.

The Ondo State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, has reassured the workers in the state that their salary arrears will be paid in full by his administration.

He noted that civil servants in the state were being owed N38bn, while N41bn were being owed the pensioners as gratuities.



Akeredolu, who spoke on Sunday during the third session of the 11th Synod of Diocese of Akoko, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) held at the Saint George’s Anglican Church, Okeagbe Akoko, said he would not collect his own salary until the wage arrears of workers were cleared.

Represented by the Government House Chaplain, Venerable Benjamin Babalola, the governor said the people of the state would not regret voting him as their governor.

He said, “By the special grace of God, our administration will soon offset the salaries owed the workers. The salary arrears owed workers by the previous administration amounted to N38.57bn, while N41.5bn was owed to retirees as gratuities.

“And to the workers, let me say it loud and clear once again that I am resolute in my commitment to make your welfare the priority of the administration.

“I am aware of your pains and agony. I feel your pains and what you are going through and I can see your suffering. But faith in God, I am re-affirming my promise that I will not collect a dime until civil servants are fully paid their salary arrears.”

Akeredolu, however, stressed the need to improve on the state’s Internally Generated Revenue to pave the way for meaningful development.

Nigeria to sanction electricity companies that fail to provide meters to customersNigeria to sanction electricity companies that fail to provide meters to customersNigeria electricity firms provide 403,255 meters to consumers in 2 yearsNigeria electricity firms provide 403,255 meters to consumers in 2 yearsRegulator threatens electricity firms for exploiting unmetered customersRegulator threatens electricity firms for exploiting unmetered customersNigeria rejects imported electricity meters, insists on local contentNigeria rejects imported electricity meters, insists on local contentElectricity: New tariff to take effect from Feb.1 ---- NERCElectricity: New tariff to take effect from Feb.1 ---- NERC
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has directed electric consumers not provided with prepared meters by March 1 to stop paying for electric bills presented by Distribution Companies (DISCOs) on the basis of estimated billing methodology.
The commission also ordered the DISCOs not to disconnect any such customer that refuses to pay the bills and further advised such customers to report to the commission if disconnected.
NERC gave the directive on Wednesday in a statement on its website and said it was part of its sanctioning of defaulting DISCOs who failed to provide meters for its customers before the March 1 deadline.
In line with its mandate of protecting the rights of customers, NERC had in June 2016 after consultation with the operators, directed DISCOs to conclude metering of all customers before November 30, 2016.
According to NERC, the commission at the expiration of that notice, granted three months moratorium which expired on March 1, to enable the DISCOs effectively execute the metering deployment plan for MD customers.
According to the statement, the sanction was sequel to the expiration of the initial directives by NERC and the moratorium period given to DISCOs to meter consumers.
The statement reads in part:
“A directive was issued to distribution companies by the Commission in June 2016 for all MD customers to be metered by 30 November 2016.


“The Commission received appeals on compliance deadline from distribution companies prior to the expiration of the 30 November 2016 deadline. The deadline was extended to 1 March 2017 after consideration of appeals received from distribution companies.
“Upon due consideration of facts above and the expiration of the compliance deadline granted to distribution companies on the metering of MD customers; the Commission hereby directs as follows –
“1. Any MD customer that was not metered by 1 March 2017 shall not pay any electricity bill presented by a distribution company on the basis of estimated billing methodology and these customers are advised to report this to the Commission.
“2. No distribution company shall disconnect any MD customer that was not metered by 1 March 2017 on the basis of the customer’s refusal to pay a bill issued after the compliance deadline on the basis of estimated billing methodology.
“3. Any MD customer that was not metered by 1 March 2017 should notify the Commission directly.”

Abeg, What was the criteria for distribution ?

What was the criteria for the first 10 states and why is Lagos so low in the rank?

It was actually a deduction made over the years. So the refund is according to what was deducted

The federal government has finally released a breakdown of the first tranche of Paris Club refunds paid to states to date.
The payments, totalling N516.38 billion, were made to the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory upon the approval of President Muhammadu Buhari on November 21 2016, a statement by Salisu Danbatta, director of information in the Ministry of Finance said.
The payments were in partial settlement of longstanding claims by State Governments relating to over-deductions from their Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) allocation for external debt service arising between 1995 and 2002.
The debt service deductions are in respect of the Paris Club, London Club and Multilateral debts of the FG and States. While Nigeria reached a final agreement for debt relief with the Paris Club in October 2005, some States had already been overcharged.
The government had initially turned down repeated requests to release the payment details.
“The funds were released to state governments as part of the wider efforts to stimulate the economy and were specifically designed to support states in meeting salary and other obligations, thereby alleviating the challenges faced by workers,” the statement said.
The releases were conditional upon a minimum of 50 per cent being applied to the payment of workers’ salaries and pensions.
The Federal Ministry of Finance said it was reviewing the impact of these releases on the level of arrears owed by State Governments.


Mr. Danbatta said a detailed report is being compiled for presentation to the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, as part of the process for approval for the release of any subsequent tranches.

The Benue State Independent Electoral Commission (BSIEC) announced on Sunday that the All Progressive Congress (APC), had won all the 23 local government chairmanship seats in the elections held on Saturday.

It also announced that the party won all the councillorship positions, with some of the candidates returned unopposed.

BSIEC chairman John Tsuwa who declared the results in Makurdi, however, declined to release details of votes scored by the candidates.



“The figures are not ready. I will not entertain questions because this is not a press conference,,” he told curious newsmen.

Tsuwa said that eight political parties participated in the exercise and listed them to include Accord Party, APC, PDP, SDP, ACB, PPP, LP and NNPP.

He thanked security agencies for ensuring a smooth conduct of the elections, and expressed happiness that no case of violence or snatching of ballot box was reported throughout the exercise.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike


Chukwudi Akasike

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has sacked the local government chairmen of Akuku-Toru and Ogu/Bolo, Mr. Tonye Alalibo, and Mrs. Daisy Tamunoene respectively.

The chairmen were said to have been relieved of their positions on Saturday because they failed to participate in the events that would improve the cultural development of their various local government areas.



Though no official statement had been released by the state government on the development, it was gathered that the governor wished them well in their future endeavours.

A source told our correspondent that the chairmen were not present to receive awards for their local government areas’ excellent performance in the boat regatta competition during the ongoing Golden Jubilee celebration.

While Akuku-Toru came first, Ogu/Bolo took the third position during the colourful and exciting competition, which was part of the events to mark Rivers at 50.

The Special Assistant to the governor on Electronic Media, Mr. Simeon Nwakaudu, confirmed the sacking of Alalibo and Tamunoene to our correspondent on Saturday.

Agip to build 150,000bpd refinery in N’Delta

Published May 10, 2017
Share Tweet Share
Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu


Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, on Tuesday disclosed that the Federal Government and Italian oil giant, Agip, had reached an agreement for the firm to build a new refinery in the country.

He said the refinery, with 150,000 barrels refining capacity, would be located in Port Harcourt or Brass.



Kachikwu disclosed this in an interview with State House correspondents after leading the oil firm’s management team to a meeting with the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The minister said a Memorandum of Understanding on the new refinery was already being prepared.

He added that the firm also was building the second largest power plant in the country, which will come on stream by 2020.

He said the company’s total investment in power and the refinery was in excess of $15bn.

The minister urged other multinationals operating in the country to emulate Agip.

Kachikwu said, “We just finished a meeting with the Acting President and Agip. In the meeting, we dealt with the issue of Agip’s investment in the Zabazaba Field and their cooperation with us in the repairs of the Port Harcourt refinery.

“Following my meeting with Agip, we reached an agreement that Agip will build a brand new refinery of 150,000 barrels capacity, which will be located in Port Harcourt or Brass. They have accepted and are preparing an MoU along this line.

“The effect of this is that oil companies operating in Nigeria will begin to migrate from only exporting crude and begin to look at how to start refining the crude so that we will be able to meet our local consumption.”

The minister added, “This new refinery, along with other things we are going to do with the refinery in Port Harcourt, gives us hope in our quest to try and increase our local capacity to produce every refined product we need in the country and to meet the timeline of 2019.

“We are now going ahead to work out the modality with Agip. I am also calling on other multinationals to see what they can do along this line.

“In the area of power, Agip has the second largest plant, which will be on stream by 2020. This is to make sure they are not only just taking away crude, but making other local investments. The total investment in area of power and the refinery from Agip is in excess of $15bn.”
