The unreasonable people should just add 'SC' to their name to make it SCAVENGERS instead of AVENGER which they called themselves. Shame to any Pressure group in Nigeria who thinks the only way they can get attention is to sabotage the already destroyed economy by their cohort.Sorry SCAVENGERS Buhari is not ready to succumb to your insatiable demands this time around.
elixirnigeria: Top militant leaders, who have been causing havoc in the Niger Delta and major oil depots in the South-West, have laid out conditions under which they would stop the renewed bombing of oil installations and embrace peace. According to reports, the militants said they would only drop their arms when the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, meets and negotiates with them. The militants issued the position after a secret meeting involving their leaders from the Niger Delta and their counterparts in Alepo, Agric, Epe, Ikorodu, Itoki and Igbokoda areas of Lagos. One of the top leaders, who gave his name as General Levi, said that they would not want to back down until the Petroleum Minister meets them and secures amnesty for their members to avoid being persecuted by security agencies. The militant leaders also said after meeting with the minister, they would thereafter take over the responsibility of tracking and exposing those bent on causing further destruction to all facilities and meting our appropriate punishment to them. They said they had been pleading for amnesty since the days of the President Jonathan’s administration but nobody took them into consideration and were ready to work with the new administration to bring about an end to oil bunkering and pipeline vandalisation in the Niger Delta region and the South-West. Levi said: “We are ready to drop our arms and denounce hostility with the government on the condition that the Minister of Petroleum will meet with us and hear our own side of the story. We are not against the government but we have genuine issues yet to be addressed by successive administrations in this country. “We are ready to commence discussion and denounce association with this present situation. From now henceforth, we are ready to block any channel for anyone not to go through to bomb oil pipelines.” The bombing of oil installations in the Niger Delta commenced last week as militants blew up major oil and gas pipelines in the area. https://www.today.ng/news/national/68117/militants-give-condition-to-stop-bombings-in-ndelta
This is an arrant nonsence, you cannnot eat your cake and still have. How on earth can you say the condition that will make the government to heeds to your agitation is by bombing oil facilities thereby causing more havoc to the already deteriorated economy.
This is a nice write up, May God continues to Increase your wisdom as you have woken us up as citizens and those in government from our limitless slumber. God bless you and those that support this piece of advice.
Henry22: yorubas copying/learning from igbos since the days of noah.
Point of correction, Yorubas are very distinct and are not like Igbos who never learnt from the history by setting up a Radio Biafra which is full of libelous statements that can disintegrate the country's unity. All hail the true son of Oduduwa. In all manners and attitude we are incomparable.
I love this news, Nigerians are making us proud anywhere they go.To those who don't have anything good to offer than to bring us shame in the western world.I think you can learn from this little girl's parent for giving her good upbringing and motivation,what legacy will you give your child when you would be spending the rest of your life in jail...
Buchukwu: Since buhari has seen we are serious about having our own country,if he's reasonable he should set up a committee to negotiate the peaceful dissolution of Nigeria, If it's oil, they can take the damn oil and gas in Enugu, Aba, Imo, Anambra,Ebonyi etc. DO YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE OIL, GAS AND COAL IN THESE STATES BUT THEY CHANNEL OIL PIPELINES FROM THOSE STATES TO NIGER DELTA SO AS TO CREATE ENEMITY BETWEEN IGBOS AND NIGER DELTANS AND MAKE NIGER DELTANS THINK WE WANT THEIR OIL. MOST OF THE SO CALLED OIL PEOPLE THINK COMES FROM NIGER DELTA ACTUALLY COME FROM IGBO LAND. We don't need the damn thing to survive, we just want to be free. Mehn Nnamdi kanu ain't joking, he has weapons and powerful bombs and war planes stalked away somewhere, i've seen things myself. Nigeria didn't defeat us in 1967, the whole world did. They should know that the world is advanced. 1967 aint 2015. Buhari and these so-called leaders should know they can't run cos they and their children, grand-children and great grand-children will be killed anywhere they run to in this world. IPOB is everywhere. Buhari said Nnamdi kanu lied? Did buhari not say he'll islamise everybody in Nigeria? Is buhari not a rapist? Is he not the sponsor of bokoharam? When buhari was 45, did buhari not rape Aisha when she was just 9 years old? Which sane human beign does that?
THE ZOO MUST FALL
Buchukwu or what do you call your name, I can smell some ethnic bigotry in your stupid utterances.I don't think you have basic education at all. Now I know the causes of your unproductive and senseless civil war with the FG. You guys are so naive that you don't even know where oil was first discovered in NIGERIA, was it not in OLOIBIRI at Delta state. How come you're now claiming that oil exploration was being channelled to Niger Delta in order to cause your disunity with them. How dare you calling Nigeria a Zoo when an insatiable person like you can not appreciate what a FREEDOM is. Nobody will advice not to go to war, afterall you have made the first mistake during Gowon's regime.You will single handedly suffer the consequences.
felifeli: [size=18pt]They should be sent to APC states in SW - Agodi (Ibadan), Kirikiri (Lagos) , Ilesa (Osun) . dats all [/size]

asadike: my people, enough is enough! we ve pleaded enough,its time for action. buhari should note that any single bomb blast anywhere in igboland will signal d end of nlgeria. when u sent suicide bombers to onitsha during gejs tenure,they were caught and were transferred to abuja secretly at d order of muhammed muhammed d I.G then and u thought we wont know, this time around,we are waiting and watching. you will soon find out that we have a God in igboland not one blood sucking demon u worship as a god
Story for the gods... I think what you have to do is to take up arms and start your war from Lagos .That is when Nigerians will feel the effect of your silly threats. You better calm yourself down and keep your head safe. Nobody is going to join you in the baseless war with the Federal government.
Francis5: Yet TINUBU WANTS TO CORNER EVERYTHING FOR THE YORUBA. OLE

I know jealousy and hatred will make some people to go into Lagoon because of JAGABAN....
richidinho: WASHINGTON – He’s been condemned by other Muslim leaders, and some local imams have even refused to greet him. But Imam Daayiee Abdullah – believed to be the only openly gay imam in the Americas – is proud of his story.
He was born and raised in Detroit, where his parents were Southern Baptists. At age 15, he came out to them. At 33, while studying in China, Abdullah converted to Islam, and went on to study the religion in Egypt, Jordan and Syria. But as a gay man in America, he saw that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Muslims had unmet spiritual needs and he became an imam to provide community support.
“Sometimes necessity is the mother of invention. And because of the necessity in our community, that's why I came into this particular role,” he told America Tonight about his journey.
His first act as an imam? Performing funeral rites for a gay Muslim who died of AIDS.
“They had contacted a number of imams, and no one would go and provide him his janazah services,” he said, referring to the Muslim body cleaning ritual. That pained him.
“I believe every person, no matter if I disagree with you or not, you have the right as a Muslim to have the proper spiritual [rites] and rituals provided for you. And whoever judges you, that will be Allah's decision, not me.”
It’s one of the mantras he lives by in his work, even as others condemn him.
“The beautiful thing about God is that when you change your attitude, and say, 'God, I need some help,' and mean it sincerely, God is always there for you,” Abdullah told congregants one night during a regular sermon, known as a khutbah, at the Light of Reform Mosque in Washington, D.C.
He serves as the imam and educational director of the mosque, which he helped form more than two years ago to be a safe space for values and practices that other mosques may eschew.
During his service, women and men kneel side-by-side and women are allowed to lead prayers – actions that have sparked controversy even among American Muslims.
"We do not limit people by their gender or their sexual orientation, or their particular aspect of being Muslim or non-Muslim,” he told America Tonight. “They're there to worship."
Imam Daayiee provides other services that are unique for an imam of a Muslim community, like marrying same-sex couples. So far in his 13 years as imam, he has performed more than 50 weddings.
crixtex: Lol.. Eko tin baje.. hahaha... I tot Fashola worked without a spot in lagos... Yeye pple.. na only flower dem plant everywea... no good local roads, no good water, tax thieves, Omo onile and Oba wahala.... I swear Ambode nids to probe Fashola... and also work more.. buh he has begun to fail compromising his faith for ram by going to a mosque...
Bullshit... I am very sure you're among those people who are supposed to be oriented on how to address a public issue. What does Fashola's probe has to do with this. Better keep shut when you have nothing reasonable to contribute.
erunz: we are concerntrating on OSUN, because their workers are dying, while some are attempting sucide because dey voted aregberascal. It is the people of OSUN dat are starving not aregberascal. Since APC has failed osun workers, PDP to d rescue
And you think PDP will do the magic after destroying the economy for over 16 years... Don't be deceived, politicians are just using us for their selfish gain. They are birds of the same feather.
Please, enough of all these nonsense talk from the Enemy of Yorubas. Afterall OSUN is not the only state owing, why concentrating on only Osun if not for your evil propaganda. You have failed again with this one and nothing will stop the good people of Osun from getting over this challenging situation.

PassingShot: Most Nigerians do not mind the age of the leader so far we get the performance we expect, after all many younger leaders including our PhD president have proved beyond reasonable doubt that being young does not guarantee performance.
Bankole, Farouk Lawan, FFK, Oduah, Diezani, Abba Moro, Ibori, Alams, Kalu and many more younger leaders failed to impress Nigerians. So, why not try the old incorruptible patriotic leaders who have proved in time past that they mean well for the nation?
Let these "old leaders" train some sincere, principled and disciplined younger ones, perhaps the youths will prove they're ready after eight years.
May God bless you for this statement. You have said it all.
waternogetemeny: U need to be flogged mercilessly. Can u imagine the insolence from this demented fellow!
Is it becos GEJ is passive? Do u know where ur Oba will be at this point, had a more assertive leader been elected president?
Putting it mildly, let us just say, Lagos by now will be Obaless and their is nothing u riffraff can do about it.
Hey man stop talking like someone that doesn't even pass through school.You guys should do to others what you want to be done unto you. Enough of senseless speech from someone of your calibre. Only what I know is that we Yorubas will never allow Idiot like you to continue constituting nuisance here with your tribal bigotry.
contactmorak: Jemiriye was one of the top finalists of the 2012/13 Nigerian Idol musical reality show, distinguished by her unique Afrocentric fashion.
But unknown to many, the ebony complexioned songbird from Osun state relocated to the United States shortly after her participation in the musical reality show, where she has silently been making Nigeria proud.
April 21st was a day of glory for this pretty Nigerian has she was invited to sing at the stadium during The Phillies game, in Philadelphia.
Jemiriye beautifully performed the anthem, "Take me out to the Ballgame" to the crowd of fans live on TV at the Philadelphia Phillies vs Miami Marlin's game at the Citizens Bank Park Stadium, Philadelphia.
It happened to be the Phillies biggest game of the year as it co-incided with Jackie Robinson's day celebration(Jackie Robinson's 42nd Anniversary)
Jackie Robinson was the first black to ever play Base ball in the world.
A lucky, soulful Jemiriye who decided to honor the team as well as Africa with her Ankara headgear, was the chosen black this year to perform in fulfilment of the white people's promise of diversity.
Jemiriye who is believed to be the first Nigerian and arguably the first African to perform at the historic event, was given a VIP treatment as she was chauffeured to the venue in a Limo, which she shared on her Facebook page. The information about her performance was also shared on the official website of The Phillies.
We say big congrats to this emerging African Diva! Keep making Nigeria and Africa proud!
illiad: Etcetera Nwanne, we will get there soon but it would not take us public bashing but coming together to forge a front and we are already doing that but you didn't know.
There so many achievements of Ndigbo after the war which no other tribe can match.
Today HausaFulanis are the poorest region in nigeria, just imagine what they would have been like had they been the one went through all we went through.
On the other hand, we eat better and much more well fed than our yoruba counterparts and that too is even after all we went through during and after the war Including the inhumane economic policies orchestrated by awolowo to further humiliate and deny igbos the opportunities of a quick recovery from the losses occasioned by the war effort. But alas we conquered all and came out economicbetter people today than those who tried all to keep us behind.
Thus we shall also conquered the political huddle before us now. All we need now is time and unity amongst us.
Just see your statement, it's a pity that almost every Igbos have pride in their blood veins and it eventually caused you people a lot of harm to your political and economic progress in this nation. Can't you people learn from Yorubas and Hausa. They are well submissive and not filled with arrogance just like the way you responded with this your unsavory statement. Wake up please and learn from others.
May God continues to bless you Ijeoma for making proper elaboration to this issue. How I wish we have many people who can share the same thought like you. I pray who have hears should listen and do the needful. I commend your courage and wisdom.

david2: The Yoruba's should shut up....where were they b4 their oba came out to talk rubbish
And the Igbos should also mind their business in Lagos. They don't have the audacity to decide on who to govern us know in Lagos. Enough of their nonsense and ungrateful attitudes
Deltagiant: Black Africans are most times stupid. So "sacredness of the stool" must be defended even when the occupier is threatening the lives of innocent law abiding people? You guys must be big time jokers!!!!!
Leaders that were one zillion times more powerful than the Oba of Lagos Island were dethroned and even killed cos of their demeanor. Would an Akiolu even shine the shoes of Hitler or Musolinni? NO
Idiiots!
Thank God you are not a black man....See nonsense and irresponsible talk from your stinking mouth.
Qelvin: Stfu you come from a tribe of perennial noise makers and cowards, now do your worse beyond your online rants you ape!
How do I have to trade word with you since I know you dont have anything to lose, Had it been this is your Fatherland will you allow a common subjects to be given your IGWE an Ultimatum for showing His grieviance to some things he is not pleased with. You better wake up from your silly slumber eeediot.
