I am a South Westerner too and I get your poor attempt at being sarcastic. If only you read my post objectively and not with a bigoted sense of understanding, you may have deciphered that my anger was at the thugs and the politicians who use them. Now kindly get off my mention. Thanks!

Vehicular movement and commercial activities were disrupted along the busy East-West (Warri-Port Harcourt) highway when some ex-militants trooped on to the road at about 7 am yesterday to protest the non-payment of their allowances by the Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Office and Special Adviser on Niger Delta, Mr. Kingsley Kuku.


The protesters led by the Bayelsa State Third Phase Amnesty Chairman, Mr. Ebi John, were said to have taken over the road, obstructing the free flow of traffic.


Travellers and commuters were stranded as the ex-militants chanted war songs demanding that Kuku pays them without further delay.
Shortly after they barricaded the road, military patrol vans and two Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) driven by armed soldiers were said to have swooped in on the ex-militants.


The soldiers were said to have shot into the air many times to dispel the protesters from the road, resulting in a stampede.
As the stand off between the soldiers and the youths ensued, some members of the Bayelsa State Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by the state chairman of the party, Mr. Tiwe Oruminighe, rushed to the scene.


Oruminighe assembled the protesters and appealed to them to leave the road to avoid violence and bloodshed.
He said blocking the road was not a solution to their plight and promised that the leadership of APC in the state would seek to resolve the issues.


He said the new federal government led by President Muhammadu Buhari was genuinely concerned about the problems of the Niger Delta region and should be given time to solve them.
“We came here to talk with you to leave the road. It is a federal road and does not belong to Bayelsa State. If you block that road, you are not helping the government at the centre, which has come to create wealth for us.


“As brothers, I want you to understand that we need to join hands together to give some time to the government to create what we want.
“We have some notable sons and daughters that are already in this government such as Timipre Sylva, Rotimi Amaechi, Adams Oshiomhole and many others who will be taking our matter to the president.


“I want to promise you that your matter will be taken to the highest level and will be addressed in the shortest possible time,” he said.
But the Association of Presidential Amnesty Programme Vendors (APAV) accused the Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF) and some staff of the Amnesty Office of delaying the payment of their allowances and scholarship funding for the ex-militants being trained under the programme.


According to the association, though the Presidential Amnesty Office under the leadership of Kuku had pleaded with the ex-militants on overseas training and at home to remain calm, preliminary investigations showed that the delayed payments was caused by sabotage by key personnel and staff of the Presidential Amnesty Office.


In a statement issued yesterday by its Chairman, Dr. Amgbakuromor Youbeni, the group alleged that preliminary investigations had shown that the delay in payment of allowances was caused by Mr. Ayoola Peters, Director of Finance and Accounts, and the Deputy Director of Procurement in the Amnesty Office.


“These persons have deliberately stayed away from work for the past two months, thereby frustrating the efforts of the Amnesty Office to settle outstanding payments to ex-militant youths and scholarship students worldwide.


“These people have deliberately stayed away from the office in order to frustrate and sabotage the efforts of Kingsley Kuku to ensure the proper training and welfare of amnesty trainees located across the globe,” the association claimed.


It said the situation was causing untold hardship and suffering for thousands of young Niger Delta students around the world, many of whom have been stopped or about to be stopped from attending classes due to non-payment of their tuition fees, “while some are being evicted from their accommodation due to non-payment”.


“We have discovered that Mr. Ayoola Peters is conniving with the Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF) to deliberately delay the May allocation to the Amnesty Office, so that he and other senior directors will sign off and disburse the funds as they deem fit when Kingsley Kuku leaves office.


“In view of the sensitive nature and the national security challenges of the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme, the Presidential Amnesty Programme Vendors Association led by Dr. Amgbakuromor Youbeni wish to call on President Buhari to allow Kingsley Kuku to continue running the affairs of the office pending the nomination of his successor,” the group said.

ayoola peters, sophisticated thief! It can only be found in a particular region.

seunmsg:
This is how jealous and hate filled people reason. For your information, Gbajabiamila will be elected speaker on Tuesday next week and theirs nothing you and your jealous brothers mentioned in my initial post can do.

pls can someone tell this niccur hw to use theirs n there in a sentence.

Rumpelstiltskin:
Yes, I am a south westerner.
Yes, I am an APC supporter.
Yes, I have had personal encounters with Hon. Gbajabiamila.
But hell no, I do not support his Speaker ambition.
That man is obnoxiously arrogant and proud. Same can be said about Sen. Saraki.
I can bet that if these two men clinch the HoR Speaker and Senate President positions respectively, no common man will gain access to them, no matter how much they try. From experience, these men think all you want from them is money and they'll treat you like a dog after throwing a little sum at you. Except you are politically relevant to them of course.

That does not mean that the lawyers dragging Gbajabiamila to court have any sense in their head. They are as daft and clueless as......

BuHaRi

Rumpelstiltskin:
What sort of a lawless society do we live in? Why do we act like wild animals and untamed beasts? Now, how are these NURTW thugs different from Boko haram/ISWAP? You shoot at people, slash their throat and even behead them because they refused to bow. Are you God? The politics and indeed the leaders of the South West have given these thugs enough room to act with impunity.

why insult our south wasterners, dont u knw they r sophisticated people?

xdunamis:
Its alright, I know he is capable. God bless the day diezani left that seat, she was so crude in spending and embezzling from the nation's account. Diezani and iweala killed nigeria's economy and made it a trajectional dissma pissma. As GMB is about to take control of that seat, i believe we are about to start soaring as a nation once again. The gullible ones are gone, i rejoice. The level of bastardisation and decementation of our economy by tanoids was becoming so awkwardly unbearable, but the shackles are gone. Nigeria will be great again under Buhari, like if you still believe in our dear country Nigeria.

bobo u sure say u fit comprehend dis news so?

HopeAtHand:
No one came out, people stayed at home and did more useful things with their time.

Money Amaechi should have used to pay salaries being owed civil servants and pensioners was just wasted unnecessarily.

Amaechi used to be very rational, one wonders what has happened to his thought process.

he has CHANGED!

Omotolu:
...minister...

which shorg?

Omotolu:
If Dikko was not a crook,thief or corrupt,he would not have been in that crate. Why was I not put in that crate? It's because I did not steal Nigeria's money.

n who r u, a minister or commissioner?

mcquin:
Barcanista you need CHANGE!

For heaven's sake are these not some of the things Nigerians are clamouring for?

Have we not been complaining about the cost of governance?

Have we not been complaining about too much bureaucracy in govt?

ICPC and EFCC what are their functions that they can't be merged?

Ministries having Ministers and Ministers of State, what for? Oh so because people will lose employment, govt should continue with Recurrent expenditure taking large chunk of Budget?

What happens to re-investing these extra-funds in Power which will in a long run increase private jobs? What happens to investing such in manufacturing and sciences to increase indigenous production and then employment.

Guy since you jumped ship , you becoming more ANTI-NIGERIA. You need JESUS plus CHANGE. *spits*

shhhhh come back n pack this spit jor.
who r u to spit anyhow?

PassingShot:
Did you read the part that says they needed the president approval which was not forthcoming?

GEJ is the most corrupt president in Nigeria's history. Happy we sent him packing.

na d first time am hearing person go need approval from presidency before doing what he was employed n paid to do, why didnt they speak out then so we nigerians will knw? this is gross insubordination n official wrecklessness infact cluelessness at its peak. the entire efcc n its sweeping apparatus needs tobe overhaul!

STFU you village troll.. ^^^^ That's your shame and sadness up there...

No surprise that worthless and incompetent people with only 2 projects to show for 8 years in office and largest budgets in Nigeria are your role models.





Even Fashola trumped your Aso rock crooked, incompetent dullard with his 16 years of PDP rule and federal oil budget... How fuckkkeedd up can you clwons be


Fashola built many hospitals within 8 years and he still did not do half of what the clown that did not built any did? Daft and mentally screwed villager..

Oponu loser, is this like Governor's forum 16 greater than 19 stupidity like your master's did?

illiterate, u be confirmed mumu!
d only govr fasholafit compare him self wif na theodore orji.

aresa:
Is the rubbish you posted the reason why akpabio after 8 years in office and the largest budgets in Nigeria delivered only 2 non road projects, 1 cinema and 1 obsolete and white elephant football field?

Is it the reason why after 8 years in office and the largest budgets in Nigeria he's yet to complete 1 single hospital?

Is this the reason why he did not even build 1 single classroom?


Why not just keep quiet if you have nothing sensible to talk about.

hatred is a bad habit, but it can be curable.
tell rauf to try pay workers salary!

I am a Yoruba man and I got married to an Ebira lady from Kogi state about six years ago. The marriage has been blessed with 2 sons. We lived happily together in the same city while my mother Inlaw lives in another part of the same city, as such we used to visit her together occasionally.

Sometimes last year, my wife told me she want to go and visit her mother Inlaw and I permitted her to go. Accidentally, I had a an unusual call from my office and I decided to branch and join my wife there since my office is just a stone throw from my Inlaw's place. I didn't inform my wife. As I got there, I requested for her phone to enable me make an important call since I've run out of power on mine. She was reluctant to release the phone and I could easily deduced that all is not well. That makes me go further and I to check her chat history. I was amazed and find it difficult that my wife of six years is having an affair with a much younger guy she's older than for at least five years. She started begging me that she can explain, explain what?. I was totally disappointed and confused, I left the place immediately and told her not to even bother coming to my own house again. The funniest thing was that I know this particular guy to be our Neighbour and he used to come to our house and I do give him money at times because he's a student. While all this was going on, the mother Inlaw was not around.

I decided to call her on phone and tell her what happened because the father inlaw was out of the country as at the time of the incidence. The woman pleaded that I should come back and I obliged, the first thing she did that really surprised me was that she started talking to her daughter in their local language known fully well that I don't understand a bit of it and both of them can speak both Yoruba and English fluently. What could she be telling her daughter after I showed her the chat history because I didn't release the phone since that's d only evidence I have against her. I was really angry and rose, I frankly told her that when she's ready to talk to me I will come back, she realized her mistake and refuse to allow me to go. I later left her there and decided to tell the father on phone. He pleaded that I should please allow her back into my house with d kids and I allowed them back only because of the innocent kids and the fact that I respected the man so much. Since then, we 'be never be in good terms again; I mean myself and the mother because she's not happy with the involvement of the father. I decided not to go to their house again except if the father is around.

About 2 months after, the father was around and he tried to settle the whole issue and I decided to let go. To worsen the situation, there was a particular day I went to their house on my way back from office, I was with my mother Inlaw and I asked about one of her relatives who was sick, the answer she gave me was that she didn't know his whereabout which I know she's lying and still keeping the malice. Since then I stopped going there and I have made up my mind not to ever visit her again. Kindly advise, I'm I wrong here?

wetin consain me wif man n wife matter.......

Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State today tied the knot with his Ethiopian wife in Benin, Edo state.

See the pic of the jet and the couple immediately they came out of the jet below

if to say na dis jet carry jona pikin go her reception we for here how apc fanatics for dey shout corrupt leader, since dis one na change agent, him na SAINT COLUMBUS OSHIO!

WisdomCanada:
1) Okezie Ikpeazu - PDP Abia state : The swift reverse of cancellations in 3 LGAs of the sate after Gov Orji stormed the INEC collation center with other PDP chieftains is an evidence to reckon with by the opposition APGA. Many election irregularities spotted by internation observers in the state is a point worth it for the opposition APGA, since they have recorded evidence of election malpractises. The arrest of 6 INEc staffs caught thumbprinting for PDP has caused sleepless nights for the ruling party, as the InEC staffs has remained in Police custody, till when needed at the tribunals.


2) Emmanuel Udom - PDP Akwa-ibom state. : Card readers accrediting largely below the number of voters the PDP candidte won with is a pure evidence of fraud.


3) Nyesom Wike - PDP Rivers state: Suffers same fate as Akwa Ibom


4) Rochas Okorocha - APC Imo state: Looking at the margin at which the incumbent won, one can fairly stress that there was irregularities, Malfunction of card readers at the oppositions strongholds, arrest of Adhoc staffs working for the incumbent, delay in results announcement, (stalemated). A reliable source has it that the opposition has strong evidence at hand to surmount the incumbent's victory at the just concluded pools.


Feel free to add or remove.

the worst Apc can do in akwaibom is to make thee tribunal cancel elections n it can only be done in some lgas n not all d state. n come to think of it, inec said only 400,000 plus were recorded by the card readers n if u go by the result apc had just 89,000 plus votes then minus that from the 400,000 plus u hv pdp votes. unless the r3sult is lesser than 89,000 plus then I fit use kerosene take drink dbanj garri, if nt then cases is caseless!

OduaVanguard:
Am sorry bur you are a big FOOL for that statement. You can't lecture me about Kwara coz my mom hails from there. Ilorin is Yoruba through and through. Does Bukola, [Oloye] Olusola, or Gbemisola sound like Fulani names to you? Yorubas control Kwara and Ilorin is as Yoruba as Ibadan.

Again I repeat that you are a Fool, with a capital F. Just stick to hyping SE coz yoruba history and geography isn't your forte.

abeg who s d OBA of ILORIN?

knostbrown01:
Buhari must arrest all of them at once... They r all Nigeria problem

including baba himself.

But for me I see no reason why the office of the minister of Justice should not be separated.[/quote]so we will end up having minister for justice, attorney general of the federation and The chief justice of the federation.
abeg tellme what will be their duties?

babasanti:
The most foolish comment ever on nairaland

seconded abi thirded or fouthed either way or whatever I support u on this!

zik4ever:
I see a lot of hate comments between Igbos and Yorubas on the Internet which I think is uncalled for. The dynamics of the last election cannot be attributed to so-called conspiracy by any groups or regions alone. In Benue State, the people who ironically are mostly Christians voted the APC because they were literally 'mad' about the colossal failure of the PDP especially at the State level -my Uncle got his January salary recently. In Plateau, it was a revolt against perceived attempt by the Berom ethnic group to perpetuate itself in office. In Kaduna, even the Southern zone which traditionally votes for a Christian, had issues with the PDP including the State Governor and Vice President. Several Christians voted for Buhari and several Muslims voted for Jonathan. The elections were not perfect as in 100% but they largely reflected the wishes of the majority of Nigerians and should be so accepted and respected. Anyone who feels otherwise has a legitimate right to challenge the elections at the tribunal. The PDP simply mismanaged itself and its 2011 success. Irrespective of our individual preferences, we should wish the new Government well. Nigeria is in a big mess right now and we should move on!

gbawe, all we good people of nigeria want is CHANGE.
anything short of that is void n fallacy.
all we need is d right person n not this zone a or zone b, we need change n apc represents that change. if northerners are tje ones to effect that change in nigeria, me n my people will support him or them with our all. if the yorrobbers r not happy then its high time they relocate to Togo.
u guys r so funny, if a Yoruba minoritu leader could lead his people to vote out adeola mukilat from speakership position that was zoned to South West, why r u guys vexed when the same its been meted out to him? I thought Southwest zone dont need speakership, what made them change their mind?
2015 the year of northernization of nigeria!
president,........north
senate president.......north
speaker.......north
chief justice of the federation.......north







FEAR NORTH!

NewNigeriaMind:
What is this thing

fear NORTH!

Gbawe:
I will advise you watch as things play out before believing any news put in the public domain. What did we not hear about how the SW would vote before the elections? How about all the permutations of GEJ sweeping North central before the elections? If anything, these election should have shown all of us that anyone can say anything they want yet it does not mean such would happen.

Democracy remains a game of numbers and of winning strategy not emotions and a perpetual lust for vendetta that clouds judgement and reasoning. Some are prone to revealing their hand and intentions early yet this means absolutely nothing. It is better to observe, refrain from commenting prematurely and be 'entertained'.

gbaja is not getting that seat period.
south wastw don get beepee seat I mean vee pee, so make anoda zone follow dey relevant. abi una wan everything?

NewNigeriaMind:
Support SW for speaker

I will talk to Tinubu about your SGF position

all I wantes was a pdp govr with BRAINS, n I gat it.
