japhethGold:Who said middle belt is not for Buhari. He may lose Benue and maybe Taraba. But Nasarawa, Platue, Kogi and Niger will upturn and make huge difference in his favour. The votes from NE/NW will be too massive this time around. The sharing from SW and the migre votes from SE/SS will be of no effect. You guys better plan towards 2023. |
ruggedised:Can you give us the handle of the guy pls? |
Kay Lord Speaks; "...This would be my last post on the Benue herdsmen's killings. Before you read this, can you please first lock up your ethnic, religious and political biases somewhere? Lastly, take a chill � pill about your angst against Buhari and read with an open mind. In this country, we shout and lash out just because we see others do so. We don't seek to find out deeper about issues. Now let's do some research and knowledge seeking about this aching drift called the herdsmen's menace. When you finish reading this, you can go on and google it per adventure I just lied to you. Thanks. Are you aware there has been series of interventions and research in respect of the herdsmen's grazing issue? A lot of studies by diffeerent agencies have proffered different solutions over the years. When it is stated that the problem predates this present regime, don't get cranky, find out how far behind and what has been the intervention. It's only the uneducated that get worked up by a single narrative. The problem even predates the Jonathan government but in fairness to former president Jonathan, he was more proactive in finding a lasting solution to the incessant herdsmen/farmer's clashes and bloodbath. But because a President alone can't govern a nation, every effort of Jonathan was messed up by guess who? State governors. It would interest you that these governors mostly belong to the same politcal party with him. The effort of Jonathan to finding a permanent solution to this problem was what prompted the Miyette Allah group to appoint him as their Patron. They saw the amount of work Jonathan put into finding a lasting solution to this age long conflict. Failure to implement that robust solution is what has led to what we are presently witnessing. President Goodluck Jonathan in 2014 inaugurated an Inter-ministerial technical committee on grazing reserves, tasked with proposing strategies for ending the herdsmen crisis. Gabriel Suswan (PDP), former Governor of Benue state (Benue has always been the hot spot hence the choice of Suswan) was appointed by GEJ to head the political committee on Grazing Reserves. The committee got to work and the final report recommended recovery of all grazing routes encroached upon by farmers and recommended that CBN be mandated to release N100 billion to the 36 states for construction of ranches. The National Economic Council, NEC under President Jonathan approved this recommendation and thereafter the Central Bank actually released the N100 billion. Did you read that? N100 billion was released. I guess you are wondering just like I did, to whom was the money released? Of course, the State Governors took the money but none of them constructed the ranches. I did not say they pocketed it o! But, it is a fact that none of them utilise the money for the purpose it was meant for. Consequently, the House of Reps set up a committee to investigate reports that the funds have been looted by the governors and report within 4 weeks to the house in plenary. Okay, as I type this, the report is still been awaited...dont ask me why... I am as clueless as you about that too. The current Buhari government thereafter followed up on the earlier ranching plan formulated by the Jonathan government (which N100 billion was released to the governors for) and in 2016 presented a plan to the Nigeria Governors forum (under Buhari regime) to map grazing areas in all states as a temporary solution to the herdsmen crisis, but most central and southern states opposed the plan. Now, we are where we are today. See, it does not matter who's president, if we don't make this political leaders at all levels act accordingly we are in for a long ride... Meanwhile, 90% of the governors who took and shared that N100 billion are walking free all over the place. That's how easy it is to get money out of our treasury and some people will pocket it without using it for what's meant for, yet nobody is asking any question. Now, is it Jonathan that caused that? The man wanted to stop the killings and he tried to find a solution but people within his own political enclave collected the money and pocketed it. It does not matter if Buhari continue as President or not, sooner than later he would head back home to Daura just like Jonathan headed back to Otuoke but our problems will still remain with us. If we don't come together and place a demand on all this rogues to do the needful instead of fighting each other on SM, I can assure you that problems don't go just because you blame someone for causing it. That Tambuwal led House of Rep probe on the N100 billion? Are you asking me? Haba! Go figure..." |
princechurchill:So when you need a cow in Aba, they send just one to you from the North abi? |
usba:Permanently trying to create strives and discord towards discrediting PMB. They don't know the people are looking and laughing at their childish antics. |
ayobamiakinrind:I think you are politically naive. The SW are very enlightened and can understand why things didn't turn out as promised. The whole North will not reason. They will simply vote their man. More voters will be registered towards 2019 and they (especially NE) will vote en block. The NC will be divided, but more in vavour of PMB. They may vote out their governor, but they know enough to separate them from PMB. The votes in the SS/SE cannot be inflated like 2015. So it leaves you guys in the cold. 2018 will be time for massive infrastructure by PMB. Trust Nigeria with infinite capacity for amnesia. They will forget their pains and start smiling again. There are already inroads into SE and SS. Some states are already given for PMB. my advice: you guys go prepare a sale-able candidate and give APC a strong fight in 2019-preferably in a party other than PDP. Hopefully the guy cliches it in 2023. I am personally looking forward to such a guy. 2019 is too late already. just save you breath |
chiedu7:Ok. that is the reason for the attack and the noise abi? 2019 will shock you guys. wailing will continue till 2023. U guys should go better work on getting a suitable candidates instead of emphasising on Buhari failure. |
Politics on top gear. Fulani have been existing with many communities for centuries without all these. The spate of killing and reason for them calls for very deep and thorough investigation. A good place to not forget is those who stand to benefit politically from all these. All those coming here to masturbate on killing in Benue or Northern state are not sympathizing but try hard to reap politically from the who calamity. Wicked. |
shervydman:What is really ugly about this train couches? I know sense of beauty is relative. we can juxtapose with UK trains, talking about external looks alone. |
Rotentina:I don dey tire for the whole thing. Herdsmen are equally being killed as much. And herdsmen are not necessary Fulanis. We even have Benue/Taraba/and Berom herdsmen. I think attacks should be described as militias instead of herdsmen. When you didn't apprehend anyone |
YelloweWest:You guys are not even hiding the fact that you are not here to sympathise with the Benue people, rather to masturbate on Buhari ineffectiveness. Unknown to you, even the Benue people know better where the issues are and what efforts have gone in to solve the problem. Fulani or better put, cow herdsmen issue with the TIVs of Benue state is as old as Nigeria-not a GEJ or even Buhari matter. They have been hitting themselves from time. They know how to solve the matter with a sincere leadership. Forget the clueless Ortom. But try take you masturbation to somewhere else. |
FreddyKruger:I see a lot of people are planning to make political capital out of the unfortunate situation. From the tones, it is not sympathy for the Benue people. Rather the focus is to prove the ineptitude of Buhari. The Benue people already can evaluate how much the president is doing about this. They don't need your vituperation. Please leave the Benue matter. Go and play your politics elsewhere. |
Threebear:Very good at insulting. It is the hallmark of people with no good bases to make their point. SE/SS are not sheep without brains. In 2015, they were fixated on GEJ for obvious reasons. But in 2019, there facing Atiku and Buhari (assuming). Both are Northerners and Muslim. Atiku carries the extra baggage of corruption personified (for God knows why) and will extend the North hold on power for 12 years if he wins. So you will have dissenting/reluctant voters in the SS/SE. Moreover, the zone do not have stomach for opposition politics. They will bend to Federal might easily-Check the take over of 2 senatorial districts by APC in Rivers state. Hang on a minute; why the so much believe that SE/SS is so anti-Buhari. As far as I can see, the only difference is their stance for/against corruption. Are you claiming the region has very great affinity for corruption? Don't want to believe you. As for the entire North, no Human being even of Hausa/Fulani descent can beat PMB in that region for now. Even in Adamawa state, Atiku victory is seriously contestable. The believe in low performance is your own assessment. Not by the North, especially NE, where they now have some reprieve as a result of Govt effort against BH attacks. Ok. You can throw another insult at me now. But note, I am not your age. |
Threebear:hmmmmm....I like this line of thinking. So that the wailing will be louder in 2019. Atiku win Buhari in an Election in Nigeria? Even the so called SE and SS will be split almost equally. The whole North including Adamawa state is Buhari for the taking. I discover this is same conversation that was going on in 2015. The guy dusted a sitting president and you are imagining a goon with so much toga of corruption hanging on him on a platform of a sectional party (no SW strong footing) will now win him while he is in power. We are even forgetting the electoral system is being thoroughly cleaned up with electronic voting being put in place. So power of big wig politicians with 'grassroots' support is been whittled down. I suggest we start looking at 2023 for new faces and fair competitive grounds. Atiku against PMB is no brainer. Except of course.... |
MakeADifference:Why give this kind of true analysis to ungrateful Nairalanders free of charge. Anyway them no go hear until eh happen in 2019. This tactics would be ok if PDP is prepared to remain a regional party for a while. But going into a national election this way? Mbanu. |
chloedogie:Shhhhhhhhh.........don't tell them anything. Let Atiku become the PDP flag bearer. There would be no need for APC to campaign. Sometimes this country gives u Deja vu. Atiku was being supported to PDP to fly the APC flag so that it will be a landslide victory for GEJ. now table has turned. Tom Ikimi was being supported by PDP to cause disharmony for APC, Ali Modu Sherrif was said to have done similar thing recently to PDP. Na wa o. Atiku winning Buhari kwa........some people are irredeemably foolish. |
ademusiwa3r:Senate should remove the following people Danjuma Sado, member, Edo South--------------TYPICAL EDO NORTH NAMES S.F. Ogundare, member, Oyo, South West-------WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS NAME Ganiyu, member, Ogun South West-----------------YORUBA MUSLIM Vincent Nwanne, member, Ebonyi South East-------WHAT IS WRONG HERE? |
Cuche:You go school and sabi mathematics. Na olodo they comment like that. read ur maths, u no go gree. |
SalamRushdie:Since you leave in Nigeria and cannot see any achievement so far, just google it. |
kinibigdeal:It depends on the number of voters involved. If you are dealing with 100 voters, then just 1 vote will change things. But with 1000, then u need up to 10 votes to alter and if 10,000 then 100 votes is required to change the %. Simple arithmetic. |
Benita27:This thread is about woman keeping her marriage intact despite challenges. Not about what a man should do. That can be another topic altogether. The author already assumes the woman the woman may be facing challenges. |
sarrki:Ibos don't play opposition politics. Reason is simple: long time investment before dividends is not their style. It is now now now... |
The whole saga is full of many bends and bumps. 1-Maina was recalled and resumed work since Sept. 28th, but on 11th Oct, the HoS was verbally alerting the president of what 'will happen to his anti-corruption fight' if he resumes. Means she did not know of the resumption before it happened or she was doing a recovery measure against an impending backlash? And she waited another 12 days (23rd Oct) to send an official letter and possibly leaked it to curry favor from the public. 2-Will president Buhari or even the cabals expect Maina to resume work without a public outcry? What is the gain in bringing him back? He is a complete political liability and antithetical to PMB posture. Nothing logical in reinstating him. 3-Or PMB did not hear HoS when she was verbally cautioning him? The way he reacted and quickly sacked Maina when he heard about it makes this a valid supposition. Or she didn't actually caution him in the real sense, believing say the man no dey hear well. 4-Another supposition could be that PMB is told that Maina is useful in the pension fund investigation and should resume to continue and complete the good work. This is very unlikely because same PMB would have ignored the public outcry on the Maina's reinstatement. He has done things like that severally. Conclusion: Looks like principal officers under PMB worked clandestinely (including Ita-Oyo who may have turned a blind eye) to bring Maina back assuming the court judgement he had gotten is sufficient to reinstate him. Some money may have passed hands or he is simply a close ally. Certainly PMB was not aware of this-going by his immediate actions. But HoS was alerting him too late. And Kyari may have blocked her letter knowing the president is already aware and about to act on it. As at 23rd Oct, Maina saga was already everywhere. There was need for Ita to leak it to put PMB under public pressure not to act on her omissions or commissions. The way minions are jumping around supporting her confirms this is a smart decision The main guy at epicenter of all the is the AGF. I think he influenced many things here. Something to note: Maina is not a convict on any charge and has no case pending in court. He has legal right to resume office. The AGF can stand his ground here and risk being sacked. But it will be more honorable than trying to dodge. PMB should fast-track the cabinet rejigging. To much smoke everywhere. There will soon be fire outbreak. |

Donald50:You are just realising that most of people wailing here daily have lost their means of livelihood since the quashing of corruption by PMB? They won't even know when they will ask the Lucifer himself to come be president. Just to return corruption. The fight is a long drawn battle. |
Which channel are they showing the matches |
consultancy:Unlike internal combustion engines, the car is practically off at standstill. Only electronics may be on |
billyG:No mind them. It would not be corruption if Kachukwu had signed it. In the response, it was alluded that Kachukwu had signed many like that when he was the substantive MD. To make good articles like this, it would have been appropriate to point out what policy or law was flouted. I personally do not know if the board is required or not. I do not know if Kachukwu is simply crying for being sidelined |
joe120120:Your Hero. but where is he? |
Wesely01:Thinking like this makes a Govt abandon project and initiate new ones. And since no major project can be completed in 4 years, we may never do major landmark project. Naija na wa |
But what were they expecting |
