Look at them, hopeless people. Bathroom slippers, flip flops and bare feet, but if a rouge politician rolled by in his convoy....

Your face is ok, but your heart is ugly.

If you think this is how someone with a "good heart" acts, I wonder what you deem "evil hearted".

AFRICA 'S DISGRACE DOES IT AGAIN! MAKES EVERYONE ELSE RICH BUT HERSELF.


A surprising force has helped lift oil prices back to the $50 threshold: militants blowing up oil facilities in Nigeria.

The recent wave of sabotage on Nigeria's oil infrastructure has knocked nearly 1 million barrels of daily production off line, adding to the country's financial stress and dethroning it as Africa's biggest producer. Nigeria's oil production plunged to an average of 1.4 million barrels a day in May, its lowest monthly pace since the late 1980s, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The attacks, carried out by a militant group known as the Niger Delta Avengers, combined with wildfires in Canada to deliver a powerful one-two punch to world oil supplies. Now the huge surplus that sent crude crashing to $26 a barrel in February appears to be fading, with oil nearing a balance between supply and demand.

The EIA cited the flurry of global oil supply outages as the main driver behind oil's rise in May. Not only did these disruptions ease the supply glut, they've dashed fears of overflowing storage tanks.

What happens in Nigeria will play a big role in global oil prices going forward. The Niger Delta Avengers have destroyed oil wells and pipelines including ones owned by Chevron, which could take months or longer to repair. The militant group has refused to negotiate with the Nigerian government and even threatened to slash Nigeria's oil production to zero, though it's not clear it has the ability to do so. "Output could stay low for years if there is no ceasefire," Thomas Pugh, commodities economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a note.

That's what happened when Libya went through a civil war in 2013 that destroyed much of the OPEC nation's oil capabilities. Three years later, Libya continues to suffer from daily outages of about about 1 million barrels, according to EIA estimates.Nigeria had an energy crisis and gasoline shortage even before the recent spate of violence. Following decades of poor maintenance, mismanagement and corruption, Nigeria's four state-owned refineries are operating at just 5% capacity. That means frequent power outages and long lines at gas stations.



Now Nigeria is grappling with "widespread disruptions to key crude streams," that include Forcados, Bonny Light, Qua Iboe, Brass River and Escravos, according to Societe Generale. All outages except the ones at Qua Iboe, which was recently restored, have been due to attacks from the Niger Delta Avengers.

Nigeria's oil region "remains engulfed in a security crisis," Helima Croft, head of commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets, wrote in a report. "A key problem is that the Nigerian military remains relatively weak and under-equipped after decades of poor funding and training."

The militant group is angry over the loss of land in the Niger Delta, the country's biggest oil producing region, and is demanding that revenue from the area be distributed more fairly. The group launched a similar wave of violence from 2006 to 2009. That crisis was only resolved after the Nigerian government offered the militants an expensive package that included the amnesty, job training and cash payments, analysts said.

Tensions reignited earlier this year after the cash-strapped Nigerian government slashed funding for that program by nearly three-quarters.
"Given that the group is refusing to talk to the government, it seems likely that there will be further acts of sabotage against oil infrastructure," said Pugh.

How the hell do you know all this? Are you a psychic? Or a seer? You have ZERO clue what the world will look like in 50 years. Heck, the west could be a nuclear-blighted wasteland, with a wretched surviving population begging for visas to Africa and Asia. Or suffer economic collapse which can be caused by a multitude of factors. Nothing is assured, especially the way the world is going.

If we destroy our land,we'll just take over yours and there's nothing you can do about it.

Ilaje44:
And invest in real education, not just certificate. If we would invest the energy a lot of Nigerians are using in duping people in acquiring technolgical knowledge, and making good use of it to advance the society, it wouldn't take us much long to achieve this feat.

I can't reiterate this enough. The biggest bane to your country's development is the lack of quality education it provides the citizens. They are too poorly educated.

Nigeria, look at your representatives....

What a shame. In a normal country,this man wouldn't be allowed to sit on a city council, yet he enacts laws for the country. Nigerians should be ashamed of themselves if this is the best they can produce.

Stop stealing money meant for development.

Stop supporting those who steal money meant for development.

Use your money for development.

Until Nigeria starts enforcing it's laws--- down to even the littlest crime--- she is wasting her time; nothing will change!

Assault- Mandatory Minimum 10 years in prison.

Offering/Accepting Bribe by civilian- Mandatory minimum 10 years in prison.

Offering/Accepting bribe by Politician/Government Official--Mandatory minimum 20 years in prison.

Vandalizing Govt property--- Mandatory minimum 15 years in prison.

Stealing from Govt coffers--Mandatory Minimum 35 yrs in prison

Until Nigeria comes up with stiff penalties like the ones above, the country will continue being a jungle where anything goes.

Well, considering that most Nigerians are not mentally ok, Mr. Fashola, I feel your pain.

Oh really ?
There's the saying that if you live in a place where you feel everybody else is mad, then may be it's time to check yourself for madness.

That'd be you, buddy, From the land of "you're-certain-to-die-before-you-reach-the-age-of-60".

Where I'm from more people are sane than not . We don't support politicians stealing our future while securing theirs over flimsy excuses like tribe or religion. That's for you inferiority complexed Africans.

edoyad:
Did you feel the same way during Jonathan's regime when he was being criticized ?

Yes, I actually think even Jonathan himself is not all there. To be honest, the fact that you came here sounding crazy... I don't think you're all there either, yourself.

mbhs139:
The Chief of Defense Staff, the last time I check, is a southerner. If I'm correct, he's the one that will recommend or endorse any sacking or retirement of officers from the rank of colonel if I'm right. And for all I care, he can't be the call man of the C-in-C, Buhari can't just other him to submit the names of Southern Generals simply for sacking.

My brother, comments on NL sometimes makes me sick.

Personally, apart from the obvious fact that most of them appear to be poorly educated, I sincerely think a very, very, very, very high amount of Nigerians have mental issues.

Perfectdanny:
The leaders of Nigeria are the number one enemies of Nigeria

Nope. It's the followers. Look at the crazies defending this useless taxi "project".

You mean Corporation?

stop trying hard to be ignorant, innoson specializes in SUVs, the last I checked, SUVs can't be used for town services.

Your ignorance is legendary

And who told you SUVs cannot be used as cabs? For your info, anytime I call for a cab I always request a van or SuV so much so that the company already knows to send one once they see my phone number.

gunuvi:
My brother, if the Niger delta secede from Nigeria. All those polution and clean up will be faster and they will finally enjoy their Gods given wealth. It is the lack of true federalism that is making the region experiencing all those woes now.

The "lack of true federalism" was also the reason why con-preacher Oritsejasatan used his Private jet to smuggle millions of dollars with Dasuki to South Africa?

May whatever you worship give you a tiny bit of sense.

This bus terminal is an international airport?

The group asserted: “There is no gainsaying that we made our earlier promise to launch six Missiles simultaneously against some targeted areas. But this was waved aside as a result of appeals made to us through email by the Federal Government and some international nations to open talks with (President) Buhari.” “We saw some genuine aspiration on the part of Buhari, who made several contacts to us to see reason with them over the issue of under-development of the region. And since he (Buhari) had set the ball rolling for a clear negotiation with us, there is no problem without solution. We have therefore declared ceasefire in order to negotiate with the government if it is a true reflection of what they have in mind to develop the Niger Delta region”.

Name the "International Nations". I bet you none of them is a country thats made up of predominantly whites; maybe blacks like yourselves. On the part of the U.S, we are currently finishing up negotiations and agreements to supply your country with missile equipped drones. Lets see how long your finances and manpower can sustain this fight.

Conditions to forestall further attacks
The group also gave some conditions which the government must meet in order to avert resumption of struggle which include: “immediate release of the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd) and Dr. Nnamdi Kanu, whose release was ordered by the court severally, pointing out that “their continued detention was unconstitutional and against the tenet of our nascent democracy in the country”. JNDLF also demanded that: “the government must “direct EFCC to defreeze the bank accounts of ex- militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, (a.k.a. Tompolo)

So, basically, these are your sponsors? Thanks for the information, African.

But why do Africans, Nigerians especially, insist on showcasing themselves to the world as a ignorant specie? You don't have to throw a party every time you build a stretch of road. If thats how its done all over the world American Governors will never have time to sit in their office as they'll be out on the road taking pictures everyday. Why? BECAUSE THERES ALWAYS SOME SORT OF CONSTRUCTION STARTING AND ENDING EVERY FREAKING DAY!

Its so sad that these are the kind of beasts that lead what is supposed to be the most powerful black nation on earth. What a shame.

Elliot2:
Having captured Port Harcourt, what else? You expect that they would surrender. But they now went and built Uga and Uli airports and planes were flying there. Two airports at the same time; ingenious! Uga in Anambra State and Uli Ihiala in Imo State of today which was the main one receiving all the main aircraft, it was just a road. They just widened the road and it worked. Looking at the ingenuity of de ibos,very creative. una get luck,ss no fully support Biafra then, Nigeria for go down. it will dis time.

So whats taking the 2nd Niger Bridge forever?

mensdept:
Well well well...so you see, this is what Yoruba have known all the while, pretending as if the "south-south" were people from Congo without relations to Igbo, at least that's what they've promoted for 40 years.

At least the last election and the aftermath have exposed them, and see them, exposing themselves the more without even realizing it. But I guess it doesn't matter because the EAST and MIDWEST are uniting again. Thank you Akpabio, thank you Niger-Delta Avengers. It's about dayum time

How can the "East and Midwest unite again" if they were never one in the first place? All of the Midwest used to be part of the Western Region (because they shared the same cultural and historical ancestry) until Ibo led Eastern politicians, eager to break the link between the Yorubas, Itshekiris, Edos etc insisted that a new Region be created. And that was what gave birth to the Midwest, which has now become Niger Delta/ South-South. That area has absolutely nothing in common with Eastern Nigeria.

outknow:
Still Far from who you are. The divide n rule ideology is still in your head. Just go to the north an d shout "Biafra" and shout "Niger Delta." Watch peoples'reactions. Just to show you that without Biafra You don't have ID. They called you South South. You answered without asking where is North North. They called you Niger Delta, you answered with asking, where Niger confluence/desert/Lagoon. Don't worry. They will call you another one. You will answer too.

Actually, Ibo Politicians were the ones that initiated, orchestrated and actualized the "Midwest/Nigerdelta/SouthSouth" Brouhaha in an effort to neutralize Western Nigerian influence in the Region. Read your history books.

fabolouz1:
Hypocrites everywhere. What is wrong in purchasing vehicles for State Judges? To the best of my knowledge the Judicial arm of Govt in this Country is independent only in name. Until it start sourcing from funds outside of Government coffers it would still be receiving cars from the Govt.

Bravegeorge:
It's probably because we Nigerians can't be trusted,we are all selfish. No matter what wike does,come 2019 some pple will sell their vote for #1000 or #2000 to the opposition party. So why won't the man appease the magistrates that brought him power,when himself n the wife are barristers. Don't always judge people so quickly..

Ok, let me explain to you why most of you are senseless for not seeing the folly in his actions.

Lets say this Governor's convoy was speeding, traveling down the road-- breaking all traffic rules--- and hit your father/mother and they became disabled or killed as a result of this accident; when you want to seek redress so that someone will pay for the loss of future earnings, pain and suffering etc, where do you go to, court right? Now tell me how you expect to receive Justice from the system when the Judges have already been bribed in advance?

Do you want to hear another example? Ok, lets say the Governor's son/friend/acquaintance ra*pes your sister or someone dear to you (or even you yourself) and you report them to the police and they get charged to court; guess who's not getting any Justice from the system once the Governor calls in the favor from the Honda Accord gifts?

Finally, lets say it is revealed tomorrow (as I suspect) that the purchase prices of these cars (which shouldn't have been bought in the first place) were inflated and, furthermore, other acts of fraud by the Governor are exposed do you reasonably think these already compromised Judges will do the right thing and sanction the Governor if the case is brought before them?

Exactly! Thats why its called a "Conflict of Interest" and should be abhorred.

Mettlefriday:
If someone makes me happy, it is my duty and obligation to make him happy more, therefore he's doing the proper thing because the Magistrates and Judges stood by him at supreme court.

ROFLMAO your government needs to massively fund education. Most of you are so twisted in the head it's not even funny anymore.

Conflict of interest. In sane societies this is called a bribe and is enough to have the Governor impeached, indicted, arrested, charged to court and Jailed for abuse of office, financial fraud, criminal economic inducement amongst other things.

One word: NIGERIANS!

Well, considering that Nigeria's life expectancy is 53yrs old, this is a welcome development.

Why are they praying in a meeting thats supposed to represent a Secular country? The problem with Africans is hypocrisy; Nigerians especially? Ok, so what if theres a "secret" Jew, Animist, Traditionalist, Buddhist or Atheist amongst them how will they be represented by the Quran and Bible waving fanatics?

Nigeria, the land of majority evil minded people, and very few good people.

Why are Nigerians so wicked minded?

paschu:
It appeard the dude is way more informed than you are.

Here's what Wikipedia says about the matter:








ISpiksDaTroof & Activa

Both of you are the ones getting it wrong, the guy in question was doing exactly what Lai Mohammed is doing in Nigeria: silly attempts to brain wash the Iraqi nationals into believing lies. He actually said that US army and their coalition will surrender or be destroyed by Iraq.

See an excerpt from Wikipedia:



This shows how pathetic some APC folks on NL are, and how they habitually push their unverified opinions as fact.

Now that their rants against Femi have been debunked as fallacies, lets watch and see if they'd be men enough to admit their wrong openly and apologise for those silly rants.

BTW here's your source abi stew: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Saeed_al-Sahhaf

"Burned in their tanks" and "They will surrender" is now equal to WMDs?

Can you please try not to quote me ever again in your miserable uneducated life? People of low IQ disgust me.
