Notherners and southerners are samething.....No Difference.

Omo there's a huge difference between north and south.. Can u let ur own daughter marry @ age 8?

What's the OP's angst? That a woman whose daughter was abducted and forcefully married by one Yenusa through sharia council, and restricting her access to her daughter that gave rise to public outrage and condemnation isn't bad compared to a case of rape in Ebonyi state? Or the attack on islam supportive of the aforementioned by christians on new media?


I think the only reason why we had public uproar on yunusa's case was because the girl is kept in the dark even while her mum took the matter to relevant authorities in the nick of time and notin was done untill the matter arrived on new media. This is where i blamed Sanusi. He was an accomplice having sanctioned the girl's sustenance in his own palace.

As for what happened in ebonyi state, the culprits are already cooling off in prison. So there shudnt be much noise about that cos relevant authorities swung into action on time.

Yesterday i had lite all through the nite. Still, aint nada to jubilate on.

This quite unbelieveable. Importing grass into the country to feed cattles? How is Audu Ogbe better than previous minister for agriculture considering his proposal to import grass?

THE news was first received with disbelief; “Grazing Reserve: FG imports grass from Brazil- Ogbeh”, Nigerian Times March 3, 2016. Even my big brother Franklin Okotie - Vanguard Asaba- commented on my facebook page that we should stop the joke. But, reading through the body of the story, it was sure real. Audu Ogbeh was quoted as saying: “this is to curtail the frequent clashes between arm bearing Fulani cattle breeders and farmers”. According to Ogbeh, “Muhammadu Buhari was setting up grazing areas in various states of the federation as a response to the clashes. We are producing massive hectares of grasslots for the consumption of cattle, we have received these grasses from Brazil and we are growing them in massive quantities”. The report went further: “We will grow grass in the south to feed the cattle in the north, just as Saudi Arabia did....if Saudi Arabia with the largest cattle ranch in the world can grow its grass for the cows in the United States of America, Nigeria should be able to do same”. The issue was very well discussed again in the Ray Power radio programme ‘Political Platform’, 9.15 am to 9.45am of Wednesday 9th March 2016. The discussants quoted Ogbeh to the effect that those criticising the government's decision are ignorant of the agricultural facts herein. According to them, Ogbeh claimed to be an expert in agriculture who knows what he is doing, that what they are bringing in are seedlings, of a higher breed that is to be planted in Nigeria. Again, the discussants will not agree with the government’s decision, that if the challenge is in the area of improved seedlings, we have well established agricultural research institutions in the country with whom the government can collaborate to achieve the same result, such as the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA). Why go to Brazil and waste scarce foreign exchange that has become very difficult for genuine Nigerian businesses to obtain? And, I add my voice to ask also, must we go abroad to import grass, when we have them of various specie and sizes, spread across the length and breadth of Nigeria? Grasses that lie fallow, with no one in government thinking of how to put them to profitable uses. How did we find ourselves importing from abroad what we have in abundance locally? It is a well known fact that cows do not discriminate grasses, when they are hungry. Audu Ogbeh and his team must begin to brain storm on how to put into productive uses the grasses that are produced in our land, the focus should be in the areas of preservation/storage, processing and transportation. We do not want a situation where the cattle go into farmlands to graze and in the process destroying people’s property. These grasses could be properly cultivated, preserved to remain fresh and transported to different grazing lands for cattle, the way it is done with other animal feeds. The fact that Saudi Arabia is importing grasses from the United States does not mean that we must follow their example, especially when it is a known fact that that Saudi Arabia is at the heart of desert lands. Grass is so much all over Nigeria that with proper planning and integration, it could be cultivated with the specific purpose of feeding the cows in the north, through the same circle, the cows will end up at the various abattoirs in the south to feed the populace. So, it is a reciprocal thing, I mean giving and receiving and I believe that is what Audu Ogbeh and his team should look out for. In those days, before the introduction of the synthetic foam mattress, we were using mattresses made from grasses cultivated in the streets, nooks and crannies. We can return to that era and help create job opportunities for our farmers. It is doubtful if there is any specie of grass that cannot be found in Nigeria. One only needs to traverse the land by road and realise this wholesome truth. Our officials have become very lazy, only looking for ready made and wasteful solutions. There is no attempt at creativity. Is this why is it so difficult for us to look inward? Why is it that it is only things foreign that we crave for? Has Audu Ogbeh made enough consultations with relevant experts of agriculture in Nigeria before arriving at his decision? We must begin to identify challenges facing this nation and task ourselves with home grown solutions. That is the only way we can make progress and set the nation on the right course. It is unacceptable for us to import grass into this country, our natural habitat favour its cultivation, even the famous Bahama grass has been cultivated here with a lot of success. Audu Ogbeh should look for young men with fresh ideas to execute his programmes, his ideas as they are presently, appear too far fetched. Grass is what everyone can feel and touch everywhere in this country. We do not need to go abroad to import it, it is like importing crude oil into the Niger Delta for processing, it is uncalled for. The potentials in this country are enormous, the challenge is for the leadership to use this enormous manpower resources to achieve the requisite goal of the nation. We have them in Nigeria, we must continue to put them to work.

The midget of a bokoharam governor has revealed his madness for public consumption. If there's one religion to regulate it's activity, that is islam. Its barbarity is enough to ban it in nigeria.

Silly joke of a govt known for it's loquaciousness and only acting when opposition members are involved..

Only criminals in APC arent aware that people are suffering and hardship is increasing daily in a damned country named Nigeria..

amaechi and wike's thugs causing mayhem in Rivers state

They have started with anoda useless promise. Very soon, in their most traditional manner, they will deny it.

There's a disconnect between Buhari and Lai mohammed in information dissemination. Perhaps bubu the brain dead septuagenarian warned lai mohammed to consult properly before talking carelessly in public. Now lai mohammed has retracted and deliberately opined that he was quoted outta context as a way of putting the blame on readers. The blame game is neva ending.

fiizznation:
The problem with you Mr op is that; you lie alot. You are very sanctimonious that you normally end up fooling yourself and your gullible intellectually handicapped fans.

Now you started peddling your lies that buhari inherited a reform power sector from goodluck Jonathan. If truly the sector was reformed as you want to hoodwink your readers to believe, then why was power distribution and generation in a comatose state in the last month of goodluck's administration?
Nigeria as a country was never divided like what happened in the past administration. We even saw how a suppose first lady insulted an entire section of the federation just because of her husband's ambition. Goodluck himself told the entire world that a particular section of the country are sabotaging his efforts. Now how can a leader make reckless comments like this?

Did you just said he inherited a Nigeria that was the number hub for investors coming to Africa. Now tell me, how many investments were made in Nigeria during goodluck's tenure? As for the confab report, buhari didn't initiated it nor did the 8th Assembly approved it. Btw do you know that confab was illegal and wasn't backed up by any law nor was any motion moved against/for it in the senate? Jonathan was told that he was conducting an illegal confab but what did he do?

Op, you are just one mischievous man riding on the gullibility of your supporters and fans. The Biafra agitators are not serious and buhari as the commander in chief is expected to protect every inch of Nigeria territory. If goodluck had won the previous election, nobody would have heard anything like "give us Biafra or death". The agitation for Biafra itself is an after election defeat cry. So I don't understand how a sane person will compare Biafra agitation with a genuinely agitation of sahrawi state. And if you are not informed, then let me tell you that the agitation for sahrawi state didn't state today, rather the agitation has being ongoing for ages. Their case is even in the UN and even US are supporting the sahrawi separate state from Morocco. Can same be said about Biafra?

Funny. Op were you not the same person that came here to peddle your lies about gbagi villa demolition(an issue you know knowing about), but when I brought facts, statistics to you, what did you do? Didnt you ignorantly abandoned the thread you opened to say what you know nothing about?


All what you said in your post was just a work of an unprofessional mischief maker

^^^ The issue of Biafra started in 1967 not 2016... Stop inundating readers with intellectually handicapped post. Biafra is unconnected with Buhari for the record.

I was dumbfounded when Lai mohammed blamed buhari's failure to manage the economy properly on global economic meltdown. What silly joke of a man is Lai mohammed? Does he believe 170 million Nigerians are fools? This is what u get where senseless old men are leading the frontline.

Presidiot buhari see wetin u dom cause for this guy... Useless man.

amaechi1:
My dear the elections are over. Conduct the election 100 time, GEJ will still lose.
Call PMB names, he has re-ordered the fortune of this country, especially from the hands of lootercracy.

Are u not a zombie? He re ordered the fortune of the country whereby a satchet of pure water sells for #20? Talking about lootocracy, i guess ameachi and fashola are saint? Truly, u have zombified ur thinking ability.

Hmmmmm the cow named president buhari has notin to offer. The man is naturally useless to humanity.

They have shifted their blame game to Global Economic Meltdown... This is what u get when a stark illiterate is ruling a nation of 170 million people... Useless govt

Amaechi and Wike are criminals..

The president is an idiotic cattle rustler. He's a criminal aswell.

Mixty:
I am not an APC groupie. Neither am I a PDP zombie. I have been a strong critic of the Buhari govt. I have opened threads to lambast the current APC government.

However. The truth must be told. It is shameful that the supreme court will affirm elections that both the national and international communities have condemned for the mindless rigging that the marred the election.

Two case studies are the Rivers and akwa ibom state governorship elections that were marred with electoral malpractices. both the tribunal and the court of appeal validated the fact thar bothe elections were rigged without an iota of conscience. yet the supreme court shamelessly validated those rigged elections to the surprise of Nigerians and the world at last.

The supreme court judgement of late has become a national and international embarrassment. And our highest court in the land is beginning to lose their reputation.

The supreme court is beginning to emerge as the greaest threat to free and fair elections in Nigeria.

Oga u have succeeded in saying rubbish... its advisable to wait untill the supreme court state reason(s) for their decisions before u pick on them and, maybe, sink in ur frustration aftermath.

Na to ban monicker dem sabi. Them go ban tire.

The zoo doesnt have formidable military force... Those NA personel are better used for road side traffic control...

Meanwhile na for midnight i dey get lite only.

Buhari crashing everytin in the country..

The Navy is in pursuit of the said vessel with enough zombies onboard.

Ugomba:
So you want to support a Tout trying to cause a problem in a country ?

If the president isn't a bokoharam tout he shud stop making others look like himself.

Those APC thugs have started to unleash terror attack in the ND just to put the blame on Tompolo. Daura dulllard call ur niggas to order.
