This man is funny. He's still insisting that Igbo person should be the next president. But do they appreciate it?

Let's wait and watch as events unfold.

So many prominent people have been cautioning them to desist from the devilish propaganda! They're only tarnishing the image of their man.

YorubaIsGreat:
BAT is unstoppable
Jagaban is our next president insha allah

Amen and Amen.[color=#000099][/color]

OVB123:
He dissapointed the devices of the crafty, so that they right hand can not perform their interprise. No plan form against the people of ondo state shall come to pass in Jesus name, Amen!

Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen!!!!!!!

I hope the fund would be judiciously utilized. The underprivileged should benefit not the privileged few! Some people are really starving in this country!

The man has spoken very well and reasonably too! Nothing more to add!

Getting killed because of pittance from corrupt politicians! What a shame! [color=#000099][/color]

Getting killed because of pittance from corrupt politicians! What a shame!

Brilliant performance by Arsenal!

Arsenal should build on the brilliant performance on the opening day by defeating Leicester.

KennethG1994:
Mark my words, today will be the first and last time Arsenal will be on top of the EPL table

Really? Let's wait and watch as events unfold.

jrusky:
What is Afenifere? What olitical relevancy do they have over the SW? What is Afenifere voting power?

Pls next topic...abeg

Most of them are hypocrites! For example a daughter of their leader is contesting for the Reps position under the APC in his state! Can you best that? The last dispensation they supported GEJ! Shioor on them all!

webincomeplus:
Fools are never satisfied. The same Arsenal lost their first 3 matches last season, y'all taunted them. This time, they got a hard-fought victory in their first match, you've started talking trash again. Why not just rest and leave Arsenal alone?

Most of them are Chelsea and Spuds supporters! Don't mind them.

Still available!

The present inept administration has finished this country!

dadabashua1:
Alot of bittered comments let Arsenal be abeg,they win una insult them,them lose una go insult them,haba this is no longer rivalry but witchcraft Gunners weldone jare don't mind the Agbayas .

Most of the detractors are Chelsea and Studs fans.

OkutaNla:
Op, are you sure you're ok?? On what basis did you refuse to include Lagos as part of the SW? You Igbos are fond of this provocative act of excluding Lagos from the rest of the SW. You're the ONLY ethnicity in the whole of Nigeria that has a problem with Lagos as an indigenous Yoruba land. What exactly is the colour of you people's problem by the way? Are there no Yorubas in Lagos, that you would mischieviously choose to exclude them from the SW? This will still not stop you lot from being regarded as strangers in Lagos till eternity. What rubbish.

Don't mind them; they're always living in illusion!

The IPOB miscreants supporting a particular candidate have lost sense of reasoning totally!

Those IPOB miscreants, including the priest who influenced them, should be dealt with severely. Criminals!

They should just go ahead and get the man out to safe the country![color=#770077][/color]

They should just go ahead and get the man out to safe the country!

Balkan:
If this bill is allowed to pass the 1st reading, I will now know that southern Nigeria is doomed. Remember any grazing land becomes Fulani land. Also that means Fulanis will be natives in all the 36 states.

Remember anywhere the occupy the move with their Islamic agenda, which breeds terrorism.

Their agenda is working.

God shall not make it possible!

Deliberate mischief! Unfortunately some uninformed elements have been twisting the issue to suit their ignoble agenda! Shioor!

jerseyboy:
I hope so.
YORUBA NATION IS OUR ONLY AGENDA
YORUBA NATION NOW
NO MORE NIGERIA

You've spoken very well and reasonably too!

The police has issued a disclaimer that one unscrupulous element deliberately misdirected the INEC officials to the wrong place to serve his own selfish interest.

God safe them and protect them!

Sakamaje:
I knew there was more to the story than the sensational social media representation.

It was deliberated slanted to maligned some targeted people.

GREEDY NIGERIAN POLITICIANS ARE THE ROTTEN EGGS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM AND THEY STINK!

The Nigerian government has lived up to it's International index billing as the most corrupt country in the world by shamelessly announcing to the world that 91% of Nigeria's crude oil have been stolen by unknown SOLDIERS OR PEOPLE who will be investigated and brought to Justice!

In June 2012, a foreign ship fully laden with 8.5 million barrels of stolen crude oil disappeared into thin air from the CUSTODY of the Nigerian Navy Niger Delta Region where oil bunkering is the order of the day,!

According to new media reports, first quarter January-March 2022, statistics presented at a meeting in Abuja between the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), Oil Producers Trade Section and the Independent Petroleum Producers Group (IPPG), revealed that USD$3.2 billion (NGN1.36 trillion naira) worth of crude oil was stolen from Nigeria between January 2021 and February 2022!

The worst hit areas were the Bonny Terminal Network, Forcados Terminal Network, and the Brass Terminal Network which is notorious for persistent pipeline vandalisation!

Except for the stack illiterates, Nigerians are fully aware that crude oil theft in Nigeria had always been organised crimes masterminded by insiders in government who are the greatest beneficiaries of the national economic sabotage of the worst kind because crude oil is the only foreign exchange earner produce for the country!
AND WHEREAS NIGERIA HAS FOUR REFINERIES - TWO IN PORT HARCOURT AND ONE EACH IN KADUNA AND WARRI - WITH A COMBINED CAPACITY OF 445,000 BARRELS PER DAY. ALL FOUR REFINERIES ARE NON-FUNCTIONAL AFTER BEING SHUT DOWN IN 2020!

Nigerian taxpayers should take note that while workers of these four refineries were redundant Federal Government kept paying salaries to them.
AND to add insult to injury in March 2021 Federal Executive Council (FEC), presided over by President Major General Muhammadu Buhari approved another sum of USD$1.5 billion dollars for another round of refurbishing the 32 year-old Port Harcourt Refinery.

We have it on good authority that Nigeria has spent about USD$25 billion US dollars in turn- around maintenance of refineries in the past 25 years and these refineries are not refining any crude oil!

An NNPC audit report in 2020 revealed that three of the four refineries recorded NGN1.64 trillion naira cumulative losses between 2014 and 2018. It further stated that the combined losses from the Port Harcourt Refinery and Kaduna Refinery were NGN 208.6 billion naira in 2014; NGN 252.8 billion in 2015; NGN 290.6 billion naira in 2016; NGN 412 billion in 2017 and NGN 475 billion in 2018!

It is a general principle for NNPC to export Nigerian crude oil overseas for refining at great losses to the Nigerian government which in turn has been deceiving Nigerians in respect of phantom Oil SUBSIDIES which amount into trillions of naira annually BUT with no visible dividends for the Citizens other than increased hardship to procure the divinely-endowed natural resource through corruption-induced and persistent artificial scarcity!

Presently the sum of NGN 4 trillion naira is to be spent on fuel subsidy for the year 2022; an amount that was not reflected in the annual budget for the year!

NIGERIA‘S ADOPTED PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IS CORRUPTION-LADEN AND STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN!

Were it in a sane clime, these set of politicians would all have been arrested and thrown into detention while their president or head of state forced to resigned immediately but that is not to happen in a country headed by military billionaires whose sources of income are shrouded in secrecy and cannot be investigated?

At their whims and caprices consecutive Nigerian Presidents have ENRICHED all of their friends and cronies through personal allocations of Oil Wells, Blocs and Allocations which did not pass through DUE PROCESS and therefore have NEVER be accounted for just like the unconstitutional SECURITY VOTES FOR PRESIDENTS AND GOVERNORS!

Up to the year 2020, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), and its subsidiaries in the upstream, middlestream and downstream sectors of the petroleum economy could not (for 45 years), officially reveal nor publish daily lifting of barrels per day (bpd), from the Oil Wells and as such it has been a free for all comers!

But in that year a PERFORMANCE DATA which included the 2020 audited financial statements propped up since 1977 when NNPC was first established. The data constitute the following information
1) NNPC Audited Financial Statements
2) NNPC Monthly Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) Report.
3) Report on crude oil and natural gas production lifting and utilization.
4) Report on refinery, gas operations, sales and proceeds.
5) Petroleum product supply and distribution report.

WHO WERE THOSE REPORTS PUBLISHED FOR? NIGER DELTA PEOPLE OR THE ENTIRE NIGERIAN POPULATION? ARE THE REPORTS AUTHENTIC? WHO WILL BELIEVE THOSE REPORTS?
Especially when in spite of the three-year consecutive reports from year 2021-2022, the cabal in government was still able to manipulate the oil sector to the extent that 91% of Nigeria's crude oil was stolen without trace?

SO THE QUESTION REMAINS WHO ARE THOSE STEALING NIGERIA’S CRUDE OIL?
If the Niger Delta people in whose domain the oil wealth of Nigeria is domicile, who have suffered untold degradation through exploration and exploitation and after several years of protests and even militant activities resolved to construct their own local refineries to make money out of the “GOOSE THAT LAYS THE GOLDEN EGGS” on their soil, should they not be ENCOURAGED THROUGH LEGAL FRAMEWORK TO BUILD LOCAL REFINERIES AND PAY TAXES TO GOVERNMENT?

IT IS AN OPEN SECRET THAT CONSERVATIVE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENTS SINCE 1999 HAVE DELIBERATELY REFUSED TO BUILD NEW REFINERIES BUT KEPT “REFURBISHING” THE OLD ONES BUILT DURING THE MILITARY ERA TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE CORRUPT OFFICERS AND POLITICIANS TO MAKE ILLICIT MONIES WHICH IS THE HALLMARK OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION WHICH PROMISED TO FIGHT CORRUPTION HEAD LONG!

The pre-independence era of Nigerian politics under the watch of the British Colonial Masters did not record massive exhibition of crimes and criminalities which are now festering!

In those good old days petty stealing was not commonplace neither were burglaries nor armed robberies! Nigerians boasted that people forgot bags of monies in public places and returned to pick them up without being tampered with!

But a lot of water have since passed under the bridge and with each passing day of the inflow of CRUDE OIL REVENUE, the inhumans who took over the government shortly after freedom year, introduced brutal force through martial laws into the system and we are in the midst of calamities!

The 30-month-old “Biafra War” (July 1966-January 1970), did not help matters because the proliferation of small arms, ammunitions and weapons took heightened dimension of large scale INSECURITY in which non-state actors who are determined to have their portion of the national cake by force and bloodshed have virtually dismantled Government’s Security architecture!

NIGERIAN YOUTHS WERE PART OF INSECURITY AND MASSIVE STEALING FROM THE TREASURY AS COUPISTS AND POLITICIANS!

All the military coupists, Heads of State, Governors, Commissioners, Ministers and their Civilian collaborators from 1966-1999, who were aged between 22 and 35 years with very few exceptions, left office very rich and wealthy because there was no LEGISLATIVE BODY TO EITHER OVERSIGHT OR CHECK THEIR EXCESSES!

In 1999 when the military eventually handed over reins of government to the civilians another military head of state was adjudged to have won the elections so that the orchestrated fraud should continue to be perpetrated!

From that period onward, Nigerian youths boasted publicly that they would deliberately seek political offices to perpetrate/perpetuate massive institutional embezzlement of government funds and would neither care nor bother if they ended up in prisons provided they would return to enjoy their illicit, looted funds!

ARISE AND SHINE PATRIOTIC NIGERIAN YOUTHS AND CHANGE THE NARRATIVE!

Nigerian youths should take the lead in the campaign for REFERENDUM to draft a NEW UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION and produce for the country a PRIME MINISTER in 2023!

It is very clear to every Nigerian now that the present set of politicians are nothing but WOLVES IN SHEEP SKIN! Everyone of them was able to pay NGN100 million, 50 million, 40 million, 30 million, 20 million, 10 million naira etc, FROM THEIR BACK POCKETS FOR FORMS OF INTEREST for political offices a country where hyper-inflation had turned Nigerians into a people who now struggle to have a MEAL PER DAY!

IT'S TIME TO SHOW ALL CORRUPT POLITICIANS THE WAY OUT NOW BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO PRESIDENT NOR BUT A PRIME MINISTER IN THE YEAR 2023!

STATES STRUCTURE OF GOVERNORS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHAIRMEN WILL BE DISSOLVED INTO CONSTITUENCIES WHERE PARLIAMENTARIANS WILL EMERGE TO FORM A CENTRAL GOVERNMENT AND PICK ONE OF THEM AS HEAD OF GOVERNMENT!

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]

I am, yours sincerely, Dr. David B.A. Olufon. 08130669886, 08080243066. g-mail-dvdolufon@gmail.

I align with you, especially the last two paragraphs! We should adopt a parliamentary system of government.

onyenna85000:
Nairalanders can't you see the game plan? Empower the Fulani terrorists, provide them with access to the presidency, assist them in kidnapping the president, military will fully step in. Then in the process, there will be coup and military will take over. Finally the election will be scuttled. This I have seen.

Hmmmmm. It could be a possibility!

wolesmile:
I'd have said "Good one from NLC!!!"

But after the two day protest, what then?
Buhari is not even around in the country. He is somewhere in Liberia lecturing other leaders on how Nigeria successfully tackled our security issues. He knows the NLC is a toothless bulldog that only knows how to bark in the papers.

I wish we just have the nerve, the audacity, to do what Sri Lankans did to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa a few days ago. They protested to the presidential villa and he ran for his dear life. Protesters ransacked the villa and even had fun inside the swimming pool.

But the fear of the security agents is the problem militating against such mass protest.

This is a move that should be applauded! Solidarity for ever!
