Emycord:
Its Low Cos Of The Ban And Tag And kanu absense Remove Any One Of These Three And See It Back In Full Force. I Said Just One Not The Three reverse Just One Of Them If They Can And Lets See If agitations Are Gone Guy Even catalonian Agitation Is Low Key inspite Of The Referendum. Cos The Leader Is Not Around

The whole noise happened mostly when Kanu was incarcerated so his absence makes no difference, when a bush Abakiliki bike rider compares himself with the catalonians, I have nothing else to offer but smiles.

All the catalans top politicians that supported Carles Puigdemont are all in prison, Carles Puigdemont himself has absconded to Germany like Kanu to evade arrest, the little Autonomy they used to enjoy under Spain has been taken away, As we speak, Spain has assumed full control of that region, so what did the noise achieve?

You guys don't get it, what you think as an illiterate is immaterial, the world works the way it should without your opinion.
Can you try this IPOB nonsense in Algeria, Egypt or Turkey and get away with it? Or is it because Buhari is forming reformed Democrat?

It was a poorly formulated out of place military operation.
Nigerian military operations and policies are so outdated, shooting at unarmed protesters, starving and sabotage of farmland and weeping before insurgents
Since you know that much why waste your energy with illiterates that know nothing, shouting Biafra everywhere?
Politics › Re: May 30th: Biafran Agitation And The Effects Of Python Dance by jpphilips(m):
asorocker:
Python dance is the most unintelligent military policy ever. I just thank God that ipob did not pick arms , one wonders the military basis for declaring a military policy against an unarmed agitation when there are countless armed people slaughtering Nigerians all over the country with no strategic military operations.

Possibly the military didn't want to experience what they experienced in civil war where military divisions where completely wiped by a simple biafran military formation led by majors
Python dance was not a military policy but a military operation, before IPOB started threatening Nigeria, they should be smart enough to know the military has a constitutional mandate to crush them not with knives but sophisticated weapons, so it was very silly of IPOB to jettison arms,

if they did carry arms then we will get to the stage of insurrection before their final defeat, Buhari may not be a Gowon that gave them " No victor, no vanquished ".

So I expect Buhari to declare a total victory then rule the south east the way Israel is ruling the Palestinians after their defeat or the UK and Ireland, only then will the igbo man understand what marginalization truly means while Biafra is buried forever.

IPOB was lucky shaa!

It is no longer news that the activities of IPOB has been prescribed by the Nigerian government.
This singular act has resulted in relative peace and a stop to the various agitations for Biafra.
I could remember by this time last year the threat of shutting down the economy of the entire southeast and Southsouth on May 30th was all over the place.

But today, less than 2 weeks to May 30th and nobody is talking about shutting down anything in celebration of "Biafra Day". Does this mean that Python dance has reset the allegiance of the Igbos? Have they suddenly fell in love with "One Nigeria" ideology and no longer want a part to play in its disintegration.
They displayed their Lunacy those 3 months because Buhari was away, who is going to take sh!t from IPOB?

In a healthy Electrical system with breakers, relays and other switchgear fully operational, short circuits and open circuits are isolated within less than a second.

But because the authorities are cutting corners, these equipment are not working or there. Thats why they dey seize light when rain dey fall.
Absolutely, most of the safety features are all gone so they operate like Barbarians.

Opinionated:
Ikeja Electric also known as (IKEDC) has taken time to explain why it is common to electricity cut in Nigeria when there is a rainstorm.

It posted the explanation on Twitter thus:

Do You know?

That power outages during storms are mostly a safety measure that in the event of a short circuit, broken branch or strong winds felling poles, lives and property may be protected as there is significantly increased risk of harm where wires remain energized in a strong storm?


What do you think: a good thing or not?

Source: http://www.opinions.ng/electricity-cut-rainstorm-nigeria-ikedc/

It is a safety feature to protect transmission lines, the difference between Nigeria and other advanced countries is that our trip off threshold has been lowered significantly as a safe working allowance for our dilapidated transmission infrastructure, or completely disabled in other words, if you upgrade both transmission and distribution infrastructure, you don't need to cut power during bad weather.
IKEDC forgot to tell you it is their responsibilityto do the upgrade that will forestall such grin grin

You don't expect Atiku to hussle for presidency for 8yrs then give it back after 4yrs.
Any northerner praying for another 8yrs is joking, power is coming down south.

Obj is hopping around selling candidates he will call failures tomorrow, let me ask, is there any of OBJ's candidates that haven't failed?
Believe OBJ at your own risk, meanwhile;

Obj recommended Yaradua, he died in office leaving us with a constitutional lacuna aka doctrine of necessity. His defense was that he didn't check his medical records despite staying off duty for years as Katsina governor.

He recommended Jonathan, he said Jonathan is a failure.

He tacitly recommended Buhari, he said Buhari has failed.

So no one should talk or challenge Buhari no wonder jihadist herdsmen and boko haram still bent on to turn Nigeria to Islamic nation where every body are subject to the president and be lead around like an idiots.

Any Christian or non fulani or Hausa that still support these demons is better a dead person than alive because all what apc and northern goats want is to silent every body so they can over run everybody to subjection, you have fail if you like jail fayose another fayose will rise.

Politics › Re: See Atiku’s Reply To A Twitter User Who Asked Of His Benefit To Nigerians by jpphilips(m):
Atiku is taking his well deserved glory for the privatisation of the telecommunications sector because it was one of the few privatized institutions that survived, conversely, when we talk about privatization scams like the Pentascope that killed Nitel, Alscon scam, Nicon insurance scam and so many others, Atiku supporters will tell us OBJ was in charge. grin grin

Is anyone still in doubt who orchestrated privatization scams all over the country? The culprit has spoken.

Criminals are never harsh, they are smooth operators, Atiku is in the mould of Abacha, Evans and Anini in terms of volume of criminal proceeds, Despite knowing Jimoh Ibrahim forged documents and a Memorandum of Understanding, MOU, which he used to acquire 70 percent of the National Insurance Company of Nigeria, NICON eventually was liquidated after The total assets taken out of the company either directly or through companies wholly owned and controlled by Jimoh Ibrahim and not properly accounted for amounts to N6.37billion fear Atiku!!


Delta Steel which was set up in 2005, at a cost of $1.5billion, was sold to Global Infrastructure for just $30million without bidding, Atiku said it is in the best interest of Nigerians grin grin

Atiku ignored all recommendations from BPE and due process—to sell Delta Steel Company to Global Infrastructure instead of the winner of the bidding process, BUA Group.In fact Oby Ezekwesili attained celebrity status when she insisted due process must be followed to curb Atiku and obj's excesses, she was later nick named Madam due process.

ALSCON, was set up with $3.2 billion, Atiku sold it to a Russian firm, Russal, for a paltry $130million.
ALSCON had been given $120million for the dredging of the Imo River, but it was never carried out, Russal and Atiku disappeared with the money, igbos are complaining about dredging the river niger, but they have short memory that the ALSCON deal was supposed to dredge the Imo river, Imo river is easier and more economically viable than Niger river because it flows into the forcados river a major tributary of the river niger. Atiku and Russal disappeared with the money till date.


Atiku literally dashed DAILY TIMES of Nigeria, to the Anosike brothers (Noel and fidelis) according to court records, Atiku did not privatize daily times in the true sense of the word, Daily times assets worth over $3b was used to secure a mortgage that paid for the take over, in other words Atiku packaged Daily times to sell and buy itself, once her assets was stripped, Atiku took off with Anosike brothers to the next unlucky company.


How did Bluestar consortium take over the Kaduna refinery under Atiku's privatization? where is the $250m they paid at the time? the then CBN Governor swore an affidavit Nigeria did not get alert, grin grin grin
An asset of the state sold while the money just vanishes, just like that? Atiku truly broke a record.


How did SOLGAS company, headed by a 36 year old Seun Oyefeso, without the requisite expertise nor technical know how, took control of Ajaokuta steel, stripped its assets before OBj cancelled the deal, meanwhile Atiku has already swollen his tommy with the much Ajaokuta assets they could sell. Fear Atiku!!

Oh!! the story of Sadiq petroleum and Atiku overnight take over of African petroleum, thank God for yaradua, Atiku finished this country, only a child will bother about Atiku.


Then the Almighty pentascope scam, Atiku and Midget El Rufai executed the highest fraud in human history,

The first group that came calling and qualified to buy NITEL was IIL (London) Ltd.; they could not purchase the company. Then Nasir El-Rufai and Atiku brought in PENTASCOPE from the Netherlands. The controversial body was said to have its HQ in an abandoned church in London meaning, no official office address. Amazingly, PENTASCOPE was given a carte blanche to spend the monies of NITEL without paying for NITEL first, they cleared its offshore foreign currency savings. A company that was actually a national strategic institution has not recovered from PENTASCOPE; or from TRANSCORP and other efforts to sell BY FORCE! In the meantime, Nigeria became a country where telephone landlines disappeared from homes and offices, just as the assets of NITEL that have not been stolen, have continued to rot, as our empty-headed ruling elite cling to the litanies of the church of privatization, as their route to the heaven of capitalist development!



Atiku's intels and orleans after successfully taking over all our oil and gas free trade zones, in the document between NPA and Intels in 2005, referred to as the Consolidated Lease. OGEFZA unilaterally and/or illegally altered its name to read – OIL AND GAS FREE ZONES AUTHORITY. The word “Export” was deliberately deleted and the word “Zone” was deliberately pluralised in direct contravention of an extant Act of the National Assembly without a formal amendment of same as required by law, OGEFZA purported to exercise powers reserved for the President under the NEPZA Act by designating Warri, Calabar and Apapa as Free Zones in favour of Atiku's Intels/Orlean Invest

While the committee that investigated those fraud insisted that payment of the money into commercial banks rather than the CBN was a violation of section 19(1) of the BPE Act,
There are major lapses in the retirement of advances, charges made by the project commercial bankers are deemed excessive and inconsistent, interests have not been credited on special account balance, expenses are incurred because no-objection was sought from the bank. Till date those fraudulent accounts was never audited.

Be very very careful about investing your funds in Micro Finance Banks.

It's actually true that you can get 20% for N5m or over BUT you MAY not get your money back at the expiration.

Usually, they come begging you to role over at expiration and if you insist that you must have your money back, then they start telling you stories and give you promises. If at all you will get something back from them, you will be lucky to get only a fraction of your investment and you will be asked to convert whatever you're owed to own share in the company or their board as non sitting director.

This is what a stubborn friend of mine is going through for over 3yrs now and they are owing him over N50m.

So shine your eyes before you leap o and avoid unnecessary suicide because of greed expecially if the money is not yours.

The good thing I know is that you won't come back to tell us here if and when you get your fingers burnt.

Usually, some of them would pay you once or twice to lure you and later come out in their true colours.
Story of Fortis Micro finance bank, those guys are too unregulated for anyone to invest more than 500k with them, anyone can call it demarketing but majority of Nigerian destinies have been demarketed by those losers.

The recent letter and excuse sent to the National Assembly is an afterthought, because the presidency have realized it's a good ground to impeach the Terrorist Presidiot!!

The National Assembly should impeach him now or for ever be regarded as "woman wrapper"! The deed have been done! It is tantamount to somebody committing a crime and subsequently giving cogent reasons to justify the crime!

And where are those shameless nairaland zombies and BMC that were giving lame reasons why the Terrorist Presidiot have the right to dip hand into the money to purchase the aircraft without the approval of the National Assembly?!!

AutoJoshNG:
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. So says the Good Book.

Indeed, there is an incredible degree of ignorance in the land as it concerns the statutory functions of the various arms of Government in Nigeria.

No wonder we pay so much attention to the Federal and State Government, thus paying little or no attention to the Local Government Council. And in the process, we allow the Local Government Chairmen and Councilors to escape with an incredible degree of incompetence or dereliction of duties.

In Nigeria, most Local Governments chairmen are only interested in the aspect of their functions, which will attract revenue to them while they conveniently ignore the responsibilities stipulated under the Fourth Schedule.

They also love the display of power but do not appreciate the responsibility that go along with power.

Now, here are some roles of the Local Government Council- specifically as it pertains to the transport and allied sector – that is often erroneously ascribed to the State Government and even the Federal Government

https://i63.tinypic.com/i1czk0.jpg
1.Licensing of bicycles, trucks (other than mechanically propelled trucks), canoes, wheel barrows and carts.


https://i67.tinypic.com/2qi8gmd.jpg
2.Establishment, maintenance and regulation of Bus stops, Motor Parks.


https://i64.tinypic.com/2wnznm8.jpg
3.Construction and maintenance of roads, streets, other public highways, parks, open spaces, or such public facilities as may be prescribed from time to time by the House of Assembly of a State.


https://i66.tinypic.com/2a4vhmp.jpg
4.Naming of roads ‘and streets and numbering of houses;


https://i68.tinypic.com/2j5gyed.jpg
5.Provision and maintenance Of public toilets


https://i68.tinypic.com/15gcqk9.jpg
6.Public waste management (refuse disposal)

7.Erecting and maintenance of Street lights

8.Regulation of Out-door advertising and hoarding

9.Construction and clearing of drainage

10.Provision and maintenance of public transportation


https://i65.tinypic.com/e7xetd.jpg
11.Elimination of destitute, beggars and street urchins from the street.

So what exactly do Local Government Councils use their allocations and internally generated revenues for?
