All them shouting way to go

Where is the permitted ranches

There is no human existence on this resort

They have time to felicitate using five paragraphs while their foot soldiers are wrecking havoc on peoples farmlands across Southern Nigeria

This is inhumane to say the least

They should remember that they will become private citizens in the not too far future and live amongst thr people they despised - §without Dss protection

Is she acting porn

Paige001:
This is so unfortunate, for how long are we going to continue like this, I can't even start imagining the pains the families go through, really something has to be done,the politicians don't care because their children are not here, sitting down like this will not help us we have to rise up and do something, even the people of Isreal defended theirselves against their enemies

You want them to charge you for treasonable felony

Just continue to hope they will self destruct sooner than later

3 b c d e are to protect Sunday igboho and Nnamdi Kanu - commendable

However rather than reiterating the importance of state police - they should begin a process of legislating for state police at the state level and have southern lawmakers demand for amendments for state police - also enlist the support of North Central and some northern states will also support.

Fulani jihadist led by Buhari are not Nigerians - they can't take over our country.

The Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) is a significantly protracted Bill. Indeed, I can understand the backlash and disappointment that followed its passage at @nassnigeria. I share the same sentiments and given my inside knowledge; I can express my perspective.

#Thread #PIB
True, the house of Reps passed the bill at 5% allocation for the host communities. But that is not the whole story. In fact, so much of the arguments and back-channel lobbying to get this bill to where it is today can not be exhaustively explained in a summarized form.
Legislation is very tedious, more so, when it concerns resource allocation and revenue appropriation. Lawmakers always try to blur the lines btw the expectations of the people and the reality of interests. Not quite easy when interest is permanent and expectations are undulating.

There are calls for the head of lawmakers from the Niger Delta particularly alleging that we did not do enough to impress the expectations of our people. That would have been a wild guess if I wasn’t aware of efforts put in by factions of the ND caucus in the national assembly.

The past few years have witnessed dramatic changes in the oil and gas industry. Currently in Nigeria, only @TotalEnergies is active across all streams of the oil and gas sector. Many companies are still struggling to operate in a badly affected oil and gas industry.

The focus of the PIB is to serve as a legal framework to decide the obligations of the Oil and Gas companies (including NNPC) and the Nigerian state (especially the host communities). The spelt out obligations also include a responsibility to ensure the survival of the companies.

The PIB is not perfect. No law in the world is perfect. PIB a relatively new pledge for ordering the intersecting affairs of all stakeholders – companies, the Nigerian state, and the Nigerian people. However, the bill has verified the byline of conflicting interests.
There is also the vague definition of “Host Communities”. I have always expressed the need for clarity on this because when a law is difficult to interpret, it leaves loops for technicalities and affords the discretion to misapprehend.

What constitutes a host community is an area I am uncomfortable with.
For many reasons, we all desire transparency in the @NNPCgroup and oil and gas resources development. What is paramount is the conscious development of the Host Communities, especially the ones where there are heavy exploration activities. That is my primary interest.

One thing is to set aside a frontier fund for the progress of the host communities, another thing is to disburse the funds. The burden of provision rests with the Federal Government, which is another grey area that intersects with Federalism. It leaves room for idiosyncrasies.
There is also the aspect of the revenue sharing formulae as determined by the @nassnigeria. In a prior understanding between the 2 legislative houses, 5% was agreed but the @NGRSenate review to 3% has generated a lot of animosities.

Because it is not cast in iron and steel, My hope is that it will be reviewed for concurrence with the resolution of @HouseNGR.
The oil companies also have their concerns as it concerns the percentage bar. They bear the cost and risk of the exploration of petroleum. Therefore, the mandated remittance must be fair to them as they also bear the burden of other regulatory compliance.

We want an industry that is competitive and lucrative for investors (foreign and local).
No denying the chance of influencing investment opportunities. The oil industry is struggling. It is the same globally, whether Qatar or Saudi, there is a compulsion to sustain the interest from investors to include the development of New Basins.

Nonetheless, the PIB is a milestone given the present circumstances. It presents a qualitative opportunity to take a good step forward. Often that is all that is required to start the journey of a million miles. There is going to be a transition in the quantitative benefits.

The law is amendable to show the positive demands from the oil companies and the regulator. While the bill in its current form is indeed not able to fulfil all our desires. But the reality is that we cannot “dictate” our demand through the constituted process of legislation.
I know that we applied our influence to improve the sector and welcome new methods to guarantee our inclusion. At the conference, we will continue to make debates for our people and ensure a harmonized bill that will give us a significant shot at progress, no matter how marginal.

I hope we can find a resolution in the shortest time so we can make progress. The bill in its current form will not settle everything. I have come to terms with that.

But at the table, whatever increases my people’s ability to benefit from what we have been denied is progress. I will always make progress.

Thsts why you passed a bill that defines host community as any community that pipeline passes through - so that fulani can take 5% - in addition to 13% for oil exploration in frontier basins - basically fulani territory

Shame on you

HEAVEN4444:
he has prosthetic legs ?

Gist around town

MITCHELL96:
Abbreviation naaa

Noted - you know all these Yahoo Boys use fake names - that's why I asked

HEAVEN4444:
who is that guy beside edo gomina obaseki ? that guy set well well. e fit be boxer

Thsts dapo abiodun - ogun state - the man with the prosthetic legs

Quite useless fulani apologist

VillagePipu:
And some fools were shouting racism on the other thread.

Yes nah - how can your shoot someone four times - someone nkt reported to have had firearms

The reportage was designed to justify his killing - he woukd have been arrested if he was a white boy

MITCHELL96:
What the f#ck! Nigerians like this keeps disgracing this nation, they don't represent us well, making us look odd, I remember telling a white man I just wanted to be friends with on Facebook I'm from Nigeria, he blocked me even after we chatted for a long time and knew ourselves well, it came to the part of "Where Are You From Mitch" told him Nigeria, he blocked me, you see what yahoo boys has caused ? Americans now categorise every Nigeria as Scammers and I don't think this yahoo of a thing is ever going to end.

When you read about Boko Haram killing Nigerian soldiers, and they show us no pics, you don't ask for prove, but when we read about our soldiers killing dem bad boys, you ask for pics, videos, voice record of gunshots etc.....

May all the enemies of the country that only want to read bad and negative news against Nigeria end miserably, along with the evil politicians they support.
They can't escape it!
We will win this war that the evil party brought upon our nation.

God bless you.

Be reasonable baba

You don't need to ask for pics if it's boko ambushing soldiers - just wait a few days - the photos of slain soldiers will surface online

But these faceless boko that keep getting killed - where are they nah - they dont even need to show dead bodies - profile them - get pictures of them alive - they all have mobile numbers and bank acxounts - getting a Pic can't be impossible

Show it to the world - like it's done in sane countries

Monogamy:
On a serious note, some people might have heard about the famous Nobel Laureate Award.. While some might have read about the origination of the story " The Merchant of Death". Just few people are able to read
the meaning, understand it and learn from it.

Lagos state Police Commissioner, Lagos state government all said No to protest but some people sit at the comfort of their homes and be inciting the protesters to go and have confrontation with Police.. If you people don't know, you are all Merchant of Death cos you incited some people to their untimely death.

If we are to go by some news, some people have already lost their lives today due to the protest, please I want to ask exactly for what? Why should people lost their lives to a rally with no head or tail.

Had Atiku won in 2019 which Igboho supported glaringly and openly, would Igboho be shouting Oduduwa Republic today?

Crying shouldn't make one blind..

All this Usain bolt stories, Injury sustained, lost of lifes would have been averted if there was no protest to start with.

Trash

People that shouted Sai Bulgari are protesting now

This country is hard

Fulani murderous urchins everywhere you go _ even on my private land/farm

PAGAN9JA:
Imagine! Which place is this?

Odeda LGA Ogun state

This location is 10 mins drive from FUNAAB - a federal university

The herders are occupying private farms like this

Buhari and the fulani jihadist will turn our farms to this

I took those on my farm - not downloaded

See the faces of some underage murderous fulani jihadist masquerading as herdsmen

In the first photo I was challenging the herder for entering the farm and destroying crops - and he was denying

But I caught them already gaining enrance on this particular occasion

This is what I am coping with on my farm

These fulani intruders occupy the farm and willingly graze their cows on a regular basis

I am supposed to be on the farm this morning - I dont know what damage they woukd have done

I also fear for my life

The situation is bad

Ekealterego:
Hmm
What next? A tour around her privvvate parts?

I always tell Igbo people to be careful and make sure they avoid trouble as much as possible in this country they find themselves in. If anything bad happens in this country, their countrymen are more than willing to use them as the poster child and face of that trouble.

See
Clifford Orji: For years, skull mining and deals in human parts are the order of the day by our oduduwa brothers, once Clifford Orji debacle (albeit, a horror one) he became the face of human parts dealing. Even more than two decades after, his name is still mainstream.

Rev King: Although this guy here deserves nothing good and his act was a horrible. How did this guy become the poster child for false and criminal prophet in Nigeria? Hardly a day go bye without news of false prophets with questionable sacrifices hitting the front pages of the dailies.

Chidinma the Cucumber girl: Her stories lingered for years and months. Her story became mainstream and a street slang.

This kidnapper Guy:. I remember Tinunbu screaming "where are the cows?" Is ....... a herdsmen? Referring to his tribe. The Northerners kidnap for sports and cutting off heads and blood shed, a favourite pass time. Yet, that Igbo guy is the face of kidnapping in this country.

There are too many examples to mention.

Igbos know this, you country you find yourself in have a love-hate relationship with you... However, the latter is 10 times stronger than the former...

They love you enough to not want to see you go but they also hate you so damn much they would do anything to see you perish and burn or at least be in so much misfortune so you can be forever a subject of ridicule.

Learn today, to defend your own no matter what!!! When you go in house, you can sort your differences out.

Nigerians want to live together in peace and enjoy the blessings of the land. Only a tiny minority like this few , mostly because of pecuniary inducements, by unpatriotic politicians using fronts like Igboho, Nnamdi Kanu, Shekau, Sowore( who btw chose a Nigerian of Fulani extraction from Jigawa state as deputy when contesting against PMB) etc , cause problems for the citizens.

With the way these secessionists and their online media are so loud online, I actually thought the Igboho supporters will be up to 1 million people ni. This is a reminder that people need to get out of the toxic online bubble they create and read here on Nairaland. Most Nigerians are not online! Nigerians don't want their country broken. Most of the true hardworking and patriotic Nigerians are not online.

Only very few unpatriotic people create an industry around secession campaigns by hyping their views online using blogs and influential platforms where they can use phoney usernames and create multiple accounts like Nairaland to create a bubble which draws in some less discerning . Don't fall for them. They are very small in number even here on Nairaland . To destroy is easy but to build takes a lot of hardwork. Many of us waste very valuable time we should use for positive creativity for nation building to support these vicious state actors.

We are paying a huge social cost for this huge resource wastage and the most recent being the colossal unprecedented mass failure in JAMB by same generation who spend most of their lives online. If Nairaland founder was always online insulting everyone and cursing Nigeria, he won't create Nairaland.

If you are a student, get off the social media and Nairaland for now, most comments here will foul up your head and mind. Stay off nairaland and the social media. I just learnt yesterday that top schools like UNILAG have phased out things like change of course and if you fail, they will reject you outrightly, you can only get in on merit . So if you don't want to end up in one obscure mediocre university that their degree certificate to most employers, is not worth more than the paper it was printed upon , face your studies and leave Nairaland. Any news that is very important to you, will reach you even if you are not online. Avoid Nigerian newspapers too! Nigerian newspapers are filled with negativity that can steal your inner strength to overcome challenges. They believe that negative news sells more so they don't care if they mess up your head. They are only interested in the profit they make selling only bad news.

Government is not perfect but hey!, some people are making it big in this same Nigeria. Where these negative folks see problems, foreigners and a few Nigerians see opportunity and make huge returns from the solution they provide. Join the league of such people with a positive mindset. Unfortunately, most people in that category are not here on Nairaland so you can't meet them if you spend all day on Nairaland. So leave the toxic bubble here.

When the President warned these characters to stop, they didn't listen. In fact, they were insulting everyone. Now, where are all those urging him on when he was insulting and threatening some even revered Alayeluwas and Dr. Adeboye, G.O RCCG ? Nigerians don't want their country broken, they want to fix it but political characters like Sunday Igboho want to feed from our misery caused by the same political class he belongs to! Ori bibe ko ni ogun ori fifo.

Fighting and protecting Yorubaland is completely different from secession campaign. How he suddenly switched from herdsmen campaign to secession campaign is not for altruistic reasons; he was planning to use it for political bargains ahead of 2023. https://punchng.com/ive-been-pdp-member-since-1999-igboho-says-in-old-viral-video/
This secession campaign business must stop. It is a vicious cycle every time election is approaching and it is the politicians who are behind it. All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. May God bless Nigeria.

What type of tears again.

keepingmum:
Is it the global companies that Bubu suspends willy nilly and therefore impacts their productivity and profitability that they are referring to abi another global tech company

Lots of non locals are migrating their businesses and family from the north because the rules/people have become hostile to "foreigners" , same in other regions in the country.....pray tell why bubu thinks they can attract future investors to put their money in UAR after such disastrous policies, principles and behaviour continually displayed by his govt?? Even fellow fulani govts in Chad and Niger wont invest in the current UAR

Bunch of idi ots wanting to reap where they sowed zero

If the countries where these global tech giants are domiciled didn't provide the environment - how will they emerge as the global tech giants you now envy

To make power available for 12 hrs per day is impossible In UAR

Continue to dig up 1960 gazzete on cow grazing routes and make your country one of the most hostile and dangerous places in the world and think Twitter or Facebook will wake up and remit funds into your TSA
