Mortiple: This is an exercise in futility as Cameroonians are going to deal with them ruthlessly! They alongside other Niger-Deltas had the opportunity to join force with Biafra but were deceived in supporting "one Nigeria" project. If they had allowed Biafra access to other countries through their waterways and border, it would have been a different story today. Since Bakassians are just waking up from slumber, I say: Good morning Bakassi! Good morning Niger-Delta!! Good Morning Nigeria!!!

proudlyafrican: They are free to proceed, when negotiation fails and no one gives the powers that be don`t give a damn the only option left is to take up arms to defend yourself and regain what rightfully belongs to you.I wish them the best.

omowolewa: Wait o! I am sceptical about Hillary's tour of African countries. I hope it produce reasonable and not exploitative results.

Kobojunkie: Clamor for one tenure with more years? By whom? What evidence is there to support this ASSURANCE that it will ensure that the enthusiasm is maintained?

afam4eva: There are always trials where the best athletes are selected. So, technically, they're the best we have in the country right now.

honiye: This is so sad, is it a crime to be a christian? I actually cried this morning reading the story of the Deeper life church attack in okene. We now in live in a country where people are killed for serving God and believing in what they believe. This is sad and the so called CAN are not doing anything, they keep calling on the government that has failed to help them. I think at this point, they should go for plan B, the church should defend themselves, this govt has failed them, the church has the duty of protecting lives of worshippers. Christians should come together and defend themselves.

Acidosis: I saw them on channels but I wonder why they were hiding from camera. .or are they criminals? whatever happened there isn't their fault. .

shymex: If selling your soul for riches = lucky..

I guess they're lucky...

Elueme: Anybody who thinks Asari is a noise maker is the biggest joker.. Some northern elites are clandestinely scheming to usurp power by all means but they have got a short memory I think... In the words of Hitlar I quote" Warsaw never saw war until war saw Warsaw and Warsaw was no more" .. The core north are basking in the euphoria of war a united Nigeria won via all the ethnic groups against biafrans and have assumed they can do an undo, you ll soon wake up to the dreams of your music but who ll save you this time ? If only you know how disdainful you have become, you won't be fooling yourselves... Niger deltans and every other tribes love a united Nigeria, why everybody has kept mute tothe scenario for long but it is becoming obvious that some persons are being put off by the arrogance of people you know you can wipe off in 48hrs without the intervention of fed might.. DON't THINK ASARI WAS RANTING, HE MEANT EVERY SINGLE WORD YESTERDAY AND HE SPOKE THE MINDS OF MANY NOT IJAWS ALONE.. He that has ears let him hear.

logica: OK, since YOU know all these why haven't you been able to stop Boko Haram? Or YOU are waiting for the Kraken aka Mustapha to be unleashed eh? FYI democracy doesn't work like a military totalitarian system where the likes of Abacha and Babangida held the powers of life and death. Mustapha has been found guilty in a competent court of law for a heinous crime. He cannot simply be allowed to walk away. I know it's a concept so difficult for you to grasp, but I just tried to explain anyway.

logica: Oh, so the reason Boko Haram hasn't come to the south is because the Northern oligarchy is behind it. No wonder the "Nigerian Army" is a mess with the kind of brain dead baboons that wear uniforms. So the same Northern oligarchy will want to destroy their land; and will engineer a group that has tried to eliminate several of them already? No wonder you guys couldn't handle the likes of Dokubo and the government had to beg the militants with "amnesty".

And to trump it, only the likes of your hero Mustapha has the magic-wand to wave for the trouble to go away.

Abali1: GBAM. DOUBLE GBAM. TRIPPLE GBAM.
i don talk am before, I go still talk am again... Nothing will happen if GEJ dies in power or (this poster said) is impeached. Apari Tokunbo (sorry Asari Dokubo) and all the other noise makers can continue making noise, make GEJ dey feel like village champion(Niger Delta President)

Ishilove: Asari Dokubo is right. The north has refused paradigm shift in leadership equation of the country. Isa kaita and his cohorts bliv north shud perpetually be in power. Thats the grouse of Asari. SNC is now more imperative than ever b4. Jonathan shud d4 convene snc immediately. To jp phillips he is misguided by castigating asari.

logica: It's obvious you are in the "military"; that's why you are still living in 1993. Don't worry; when it hits you that you are in 2012 it will be too late to use a time machine to bring you to the present.

logica: Really? So the "Northern oligarchy" is behind Boko Haram? Tell us more please.

tnktosin: For the first time i actually agree with Asari. He has a point

elklehamite: I think it's right time for us to call a spade,a spade and a spider,a spider.There's no right thinking human being without sentiment that will support this heartless Hausa/Fulani's senseless killing of innocent Nigerians in the name of Jihad/power.Thank God that WE IN THE MIDDLE BELT have made our position known to the entire world that we no longer belong to North.We have our own identity as MIDDLE BELTERS as collaborated by the so called CORE NORTH during OBASANJO administration in 1999 that we are not part of the North when they complain of marginalization.It is only a crazy group/religion that will cajole somebody by fire by force to worship God the same they worship,it means it is not the same God we are worshiping.Killing because of the believe that they are killing for the same God who created the same man,it means He(GOD) has no reason creating man in the first place.It is foolishness to think/believe that when you kill you will die to go and meet SEVEN VIRGIN when you will die, get rotten and go and perish in hell fire.

ritux: The Notherners (Bokoharam and sponsors) have prevented us from seeing any good thing GEJ and his government are doing.
The insecurity in Nigeria is really affecting her development.

I have heard stories of war and I dont want to be part of it or experience it. IBB and co should talk to their boys.

osaki: D truth sounds like d warlord is talking too much...listen d sophiscated world class bombs presently in d ijaw flank is presently too heavy on d land and we are expect som ships load soon.BOKOHARAM biting mor dey can chew,a butterfly is not a bird!!

Mandelaguy: He may talk too much,but someone has to tell the terrorists the hard truth. There is a limit to everything,and they are gradually pushing to that limit.

Sky Blue: So terribly unfortunate. But this dispensation already seems to be shaping up to be the biggest disappointment of this fourth republic. Riding in on so much good will, with the democratic mandate of the people to effect change, but seemingly incapable of delivering on it. The verdict can only be based on concrete achievements and nothing more.

Joey82: Surprisingly, we are collecting these loans under the watch of NOI who struggled so hard to get us out of the other debt regime.
Why lead us down that path again?

mikeapollo: Sanusi does not have any personal beef with anybody. What he said is based on the principle of recovery stolent funds...if you dont have the cash, your assets will be liquidated to pay what you stole. That is a global practice.
In any case, Cecilia Ibru's properties in Nigeria and abroad suffered the same fate! Was Sanusi also having a personal beef with her?

A crook uses his stolen money to create some conspiracy theory in the media inorder to shield him from prosecution and some people are already deceived!

It baffles me how some Nigerians think! People that went to school still talking like illiterates!

manny4life: Stand by and do nothing? In what world have you been? America has been doing underground work long before now, just that the Assad regime wasn't budging and the U.S. just declared their intentions OPENLY. Thanks to their Russian Allies, that have voted "CONTINUOUSLY with A NO" to Syrian sanctions. Let me ask you, all the diplomatic and military defection in the Assad regime, you think diplomats and generals just thought it was nice to defect? Come on man, live in reality. Assad was committing a Human Right violation but he did not pose any threat to other nations like having nuclear weapons like Iran does...

Asking the CIA and probably in the future sending military artillery down there with spiral the events of what's gonna happen. Ain't no telling just like Libya, Syria WILL NEVER remain the same. I love America, but I got to say the truth sometimes, American leaders are doing too much, in this case work with sanctions and diplomacy not arming rebels with sophisticated weapon that U.S. may never get back or even control.

Beaf: Very nice one from Pat Utomi.

I have always asked when Nigerians will learn to question their governors and LG bosses. Most people are happy, so long as awuf flows from Abuja, but no successful country is run that way. Instead, the Nigerian system of largesse from above and laziness from below is the road to ruin and perdition.

It is in the interest of every Nigerian, young and old, to know the duties and responsibilities of their LG and state govts. Your state is meant to provide the frameworks and enabling environment for local business and industry to flourish. It is your governors duty and surely not that of the FG to develop your state, provide health services, education, employment etc. These things are not for the FG to do; you cannot give a man a wife (Abuja monthly awuf) and be expected to do the deed in the darkness, because the man is inept about how babies are born.

Take a cue from the US and see how successful states have grabbed various nitches; Florida (tourism, industry, aerospace etc), Nevada (Las Vegas casino's etc), California (Hollywood, Silicon Valley - home of Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook etc... Nuff said). These states were built into the powerhouses that they are through the foresight of creative governors and county bosses who pulled the right plugs and pushed the right levers to enable their people, both financially, socially and intellectually.
...Here in Nigeria? Last I heard, our governors were engaged in a desperate search for how to get even more of the enslaving Abuja awuf per month. It is depressing.

As far as I know, these are the working governors in Nigeria:

1. Akpabio
2. Okorotcha
3. Chime
4. Amaechi
5. Sule Lamido
6. Fashola
7. Oshiomole

I think we might be adding Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa from the way things are going.
