Burob:
This directive should be by the local government, not the federal government.

How can the federal government effectively do so from Abuja?

donmik:
He is only asking the CBN and NIRSAL to suspend the deduction. It hasn't been passed by the house yet. Again, the financial bodies may decide not to heed the call if later contacted by the lower chamber.

Well, it's a thing of fraud from one leder to another. How could some persons stand to enjoy a national cake while others don't have privilege to it as equal citizens?

Error + Error = Disastrous confusion

Buhari didn't mean people repaying it but here we find a leader who can even tax the ant if possible

BondRiv:
Honestly, you should be ashamed of this comment. This level of thinking stagnates a nation.

naijalander:
Can’t seem to find any recent photo or videos of the work. Does anyone have a link?

U09ce:
Good one. The project started a long while ago I think by GEJ. The major progress was achieved by Buhari. Tinubu put finishing touches. Also note that the project was jointly funded by FG and NLNG. This clarification is quite important before propagandists start to wholly claim the work as 'renewd hope'.

Just thinking. This project(of about 35km( took about a decade to complete , who can estimate how long 700km Lagos Calabar road will take, considering that the terrain is somewhat similar?

Since APC came into power, nothing is interesting about governing, everything has been bastardized.

Killing and genocide are synonymous; this is a simple English na.

Renowned Nigerian human-rights lawyer and lead counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has described the ambassadorial nomination of Mr. Reno Omokri as “the greatest disservice to the country.”

According to Ejiofor, Omokri’s nomination to an exalted diplomatic portfolio endangers not only the image of the President but also the collective dignity of the Nigerian people.

He made this assertion in a statement released on Monday titled:“MONDAY MUSING: THE DIPLOMATIC MISADVENTURE OF RENO OMOKRI — WHY THE SENATE MUST SAVE NIGERIA FROM A HISTORICAL ERROR-IN-PROGRESS.”

Ejiofor wrote that “the recent nomination of Mr. Reno Omokri as Ambassador-Designate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is one such bewildering episode— a moment that compels one to wonder whether someone within the corridors of power has mischievously substituted statesmanship with slapstick.”

He further warned that any Igbo senator who supports Omokri’s appointment should consider himself a traitor.

Ejiofor argued that it is Omokri’s “relentless, malignant crusade against the Igbo nation” that requires the most urgent scrutiny.

In his words, “In the long history of ethnic stereotyping in Nigeria, rarely has one man laboured so enthusiastically to malign an entire people as Reno Omokri.”

He said that at every opportunity, Omokri unleashed torrents of insults, mockery, and denigration upon Ndigbo, attaching to them labels too vulgar for civilized discourse.

Ejiofor stated that Omokri publicly championed the absurd narrative that Igbo people are insignificant contributors to Nigerian society, repeatedly portraying them as criminals, invaders, and economic parasites.

He continued:“He amplified toxic calls for Igbos to ‘leave Lagos,’ a city built, inhabited, and enriched by all Nigerians, including Ndigbo. His digital fingerprints remain all over this hateful and divisive propaganda; the archives of social media do not forget.”


The statement reads in full:

In the grand tapestry of Nigerian political theatre, one has become almost accustomed to periodic absurdities. Yet, every so often, a proposal emerges so profoundly unwise, so magnificently unserious, that it demands immediate intellectual quarantine. The recent nomination of Mr. Reno Omokri as Ambassador-Designate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is one such bewildering episode; a moment where one must wonder if someone within the corridors of power mischievously swapped statesmanship for slapstick.

It is, of course, customary for Presidents to rely on trusted advisers when composing their list of nominees. But whoever whispered Reno Omokri’s name into the presidential ear deserves a national reprimand, or at the very least, mandatory retirement into quiet contemplation. No wonder, name of a dead nominee has been uncovered amongst the list. However, to recommend this particular "gentleman" for an exalted diplomatic portfolio, is to imperil not merely the image of Mr President, but the collective dignity of the Nigerian people.

For years, Reno’s social media activities have been a masterclass in unrestrained vituperation. His digital tantrums, served daily across X, Facebook, Instagram, and his ever-expanding sermon-on-the-timeline broadcasts, have been so riotously reckless that many discerning observers have questioned whether his devices should come preinstalled with psychiatric safeguards.

Indeed, those who once innocently patronised his pages have quietly tiptoed away, citing mental fatigue and the unmistakable possibility that Reno may be nursing a peculiar species of psychological agitation.

Let us speak plainly: I will not venture into the unprintable names he flung at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his days of Twitter evangelism. If the Commander-in-Chief was truly troubled by defamatory thunderings, Daniel Bwala would be giving press statements from a safe distance, not from inside Aso Rock. Nigerians who possess memory longer than a goldfish still wonder what precise value Bwala imports into governance after years of performing verbal gymnastics against the very administration he now serenades.

However, it is Reno’s relentless, malignant crusade against the Igbo nation that deserves the strongest spotlight. In the long history of ethnic stereotyping in Nigeria, rarely has one man laboured so enthusiastically to malign a whole people. At every opportunity, Reno unleashed a torrent of insults, mockery, and denigration upon Ndigbo, assigning them labels too vulgar for refined company.

He publicly championed the absurd narrative that Igbo people are unworthy contributors to Nigerian society, routinely painting them as criminals, invaders, and economic parasites. He amplified toxic calls for Igbos to “leave Lagos”, a city built, inhabited, and enriched by all Nigerians including Ndigbo. His digital fingerprints remain all over this hateful and divisive propaganda; the archives of social media do not forget.

And now, this same man seeks to sit in diplomatic chambers bearing the Nigerian flag?

Before the Senate proceeds to screening, it must ask Reno how he intends to reconcile the contemptuous bile he poured upon the very institution, leadership, and ethnic nationalities he now aspires to represent. How will he explain the loud, choreographed protests he orchestrated in the United States and the United Kingdom against President Tinubu, complete with placards, chants, and laptops live-streaming Nigeria’s “failings” to the world?

How does a man who gleefully de-marketed his own country now solemnly pledge to defend that same country’s global image?

This, dear distinguished senators, is not a paradox, it is a political insult.

For the avoidance of doubt: Reno Omokri cannot be entrusted with any diplomatic office in a country whose citizens he has serially abused, particularly the Igbo nation, a foundational pillar of Nigeria’s political, cultural, commercial, and intellectual fabric.

And let it be stated with clarity that history will not be kind to any senator of Igbo extraction who raises a hand, whether in carelessness or cowardice, to confirm Reno’s appointment. If the Presidency chooses to overlook Reno’s unforgivable malfeasance, Ndigbo will not be so indulgent. The memory of a slight against a people is often longer than the tenure of the government that enabled it.

It is, therefore, in the enlightened interest of the Senate, and indeed, the Republic, to reject Reno Omokri’s nomination outright. Let him, if the Presidency so desires, be appointed as yet another presidential spokesperson. He is eminently qualified for that role, given his flair for noise and notoriety.
But as for diplomacy,
A man who has diminished, ridiculed, and insulted a major component of the Nigerian federation cannot represent Nigeria with credibility.

The Senate must correct this historical error before it matures into a national embarrassment.
