While i totally align with your point about the invisible line of demarcation between protecting one's right and infringing on another's, i know what the Law says and the interpretation that will be given to it..

You've nailed it.. No need speak further... We do not run independent states in Nigeria, why then is Fayose trying to pull the wool over people's eyes? He has no mini kingdom bros..

Sis.

What kind of speech delivery is this? We will tell them, 'Go and start work'. What nonsense? Is this all there is in his repertoire?

Let's watch n see the proposed rail lines kick off n go live.

Thank u so much. I don't know what joy that Abagworo derives in his nasty trade instead of contributing positively towards development of d region. He must always instigate some kind of rift. Despite ur calm n mature initial post as to ur observation all he did was call himself demented. Who does that if not one who matches that description?

Reyginus:
Exactly what he should have concerned himself with if he was after the truth. He was simply after his usual Imo versus Anambra fight where lovers of a divided Imo/Anambra give a mischievous nod to his ink.
I don't think whoever is responsible for cultivating the rice will be foolish enough to allow Anambra state to be boldly written on it if he/she didn't reach any agreement with that state government. People are not that foolish. They must have reached an agreement.

modath:
Fayose is all fluff no stuff, he grandstands even with no legal leg to stand on... Even if someone does , the constitution of Nigeria trumps any state law which he is only pushing to bait the Fulani man in power & Fayose knows it but is banking on the fact that majority of his followers are not very intelligent so won't delve deep.

The constitution gives EVERYONE unfettered access to any part of the country, it's not right but it's the LAW..

I personally detest the unwholesome, unsanitary and unprogressive mode of wakaing with maalu, but i know it can only be stopped by federal legislation....

Yo Mo! Unfettered access isn't really what u seem to think it is. One person's access should not constitute a nuisance to another and while the Constitution says Nigerians can settle anywhere and operate businesses, that movement n business can and should be regulated. That is where the power of a Governor comes in.

The law does not contravene d Constitution, it rather applies constitutional provisions within d peculiarities of a particular state. The law does not forbid herdsmen from herding their cattle but it is designed to contain them within specified areas or for transportation to other areas, the cattle must then be boarded up n ferried in trailers. If u run with unfettered access d way u seem to understand it, then it means state governments have since run afoul of this same constitutional provision by restricting commercial motorcycle operations/okadas or in the most recent case of Lagos state, banning street hawking. I'm certain u don't mean that.

The challenge to implementing these laws will be d fact that we have only a federal police n not state. The police n security agencies that should implement these laws operate only on d final order of d FG which may never come.

The state government needs to properly educate n inform all residents and affected persons in languages they understand. There needs to be a time window for sensitisation and compliance before implementation of punitive measures for any breach of the law.

I hope every necessary resource is deployed to curb the excesses of the marauding herdsmen. Even the presence n movement of their herds within residential areas is an eyesore and that in itself is enough offence!

well, then tell your criminal friends to embrace peace and leave our national assets alone or the dead bodies will pile. It is not even in the interest of the niger delta for the region to become a war zone. But you are beating the drums or war cos you are safely tucked away from its major theater

Sifting through all the demands of the NDA and other affiliated organisations, it is obvious the SS/Niger Delta need the status quo to change so as to entrench fiscal independence and regional restructuring. Is there a particular reason why the FG is totally unwilling to consider and implement this?

They said they want the international community well represented in any negotiations with the FG, d FG is also determined not to consider this but will rather deploy deadly force for its version of peace. Even the demand for cleaning up of polluted areas eg Ogoni appears to have been abandoned so when u say they should 'embrace peace and negotiate' what exactly is their bargaining chip beyond the oil installations in their domain?

You do not feel d pains of environmental degradation and economic losses more than they do yet the FG still isn't making any effort to address anomalies. Now, the Niger Delta has been degraded for decades yet a look at the spread of capital development projects for regions shows d FG is more in a hurry to settle d NE whose problems started barely 7/8 yrs ago when Northern agents are d sole perpetrators of whatever disaster they've got today unlike d SS where d people watch helplessly as the FG and foreign oil companies degrade n destroy their environment in d process of extracting crude n flaring gas.

The SS despite being the proverbial golden goose comes only fifth out of d six regions. Be honest now and answer this: What should d priority of a country that depends mostly on crude be focused on? Should the first in time with regard to destruction not prevail in terms of resolution of problems? More so when d resources proposed to be deployed by d govt for d NE will be sourced from d same SS? Has d Niger Delta not been in the forefront of negotiations with successive governments in this country? What has come out of it?

You might still come out to say they shouldn't challenge the might of d Nigerian state but should d same almighty state not do the right thing? Are the ND and all those who actively demand a restructuring and decentralisation of powers n responsibilities asking for too much? Why must d state deploy deadly force to quell dissenting voices?

aresa:
Very meaningless...

Are u d op? U are also another tribal n ethnic jingoist here. Go n finish reading before u disgrace urself as usual.

Real2020:
The op/searchiing4love, aresa, Marcelini are all the same person.

I am inclined to believe this position is true and in that case the mods like Mynd44, Seun et al need to take required action.

In case u missed this then take note:

Real2020:
Typical yorubba...always trying to drag feet, fingers and phallic symbols with Igbos. Did you see any Igbo interfere or envy Facebook'S visit to Lagos? Did you see Igbos in any of those several threads hating, envying or posting Igbo success to dick measure with you people? NO...we don't, and we won't because WE DON'T CARE OR GIVE A DAMN WHAT'S HAPPENING IN YOUR REGION....WE ARE NOT INTERESTED. WE WISH YOU SUCCESS. AT THE SAME TIME...STAY THE EFFING OFF OF OUR SUCCESS THREADS, VISAVIS BIAFRRAN INVENTION THREAD AND OTHERS...STAY THE EFFING OFF. The reason why you opened this thread is because you noticed that we didn't care about facebook's visit, and now you want to remind us...again, we don't care and will never care!

Rest on Igbo matters, they are too deep n advanced for u to begin to comprehend. No none is in a pissing or dick measuring contest with u n ur kind. Just maintain ur mediocre level.

This op is just full of contradictions. After puffing itself up like an adder over Mark's visit to Lagos (I hope it also had d opportunity to ask Mark d difference between Yoruba and Tiv or Igala or Igbo or Kalabari all in that Lagos), it concludes by asking its ancestors to say no to Biafra.

The obvious aim of this dumb thread is to highlight how 'amazing' d Yorubas are and how others are insignificant especially the Biafrans they love to hate. Exactly what is the point of fighting against those that add nothing to the almighty Lagos and whom it probably considers strains on the infrastructure of the 'awesome' Lagos developed by and meant strictly for Yorubas? This is how madness starts o!

Some dumbo doesn't know the meaning of 'avarice'. How will they understand the purport of a nation, what it entails and how absolutely impossible it is to place something on nothing? How do u plan for unity when involved parties have not consciously agreed to be united?

NNVanguard:
1. Do you believe that riots, indiscriminate protests, distortion of economic and political activities is not the way forward in this Nation?
2. Do you pride yourself as a man of peace that has avarice to violence, tribal sentiments and inciteful words against the government?

blackpanda:
This guy is just a useless moronic buffoon. How does this salvage the situation?? Does signing the bill stop herdsmen from entering ekiti?? Does it stop hoodlums from causing havoc? Mumu oshi

Intelligent leaders look for ingenious solutions to problems not signing useless law that absolutely does nothing!

Biko don't ever get off your meds again! You see legislation that criminalises movement of animals at odd hours as well as the use of firearms and all u can do is show your patented APC mentality and buhari servitude. U try

Eluwilussit:
You almost sounded like a fool.

Almost?! How? That's a major understatement! What redeeming factor is there in that post that absolves it n d author of absolute foolishness?

He that has working ears, let him hear. If na for comic section make dem put am, maybe if him laugh finish small sense go come. I am so tired! These are basic fundamental things any leader should know; the dumbo presido deliberately circumvents every sense of decency and efficiency so where the hell did that phantom integrity come from?

Sherrif is one crazy SOB. I wonder who dey send am this kind message wey him dey go

That is the million dollar question but some perpetual dolts keep blaming some innocuous acronyms as if it is not individuals or persons that operate under whatever chosen name.

DDeliverer:
But bros, how do we 'direct our efforts at the change we which to see' when a bag of rice has changed to 25k?

It is the future change he is talking about na. Whether he wished/bargained for it or not is another ball game all together. As rice na 25k so, na to dey look d change as e happen, hang hand for head or plant rice as agriculture is the supposed panacea to all problems now.

MadCow1:
Ekiti just overtook UNIBEN as the worst University in West Africa..

Is Ekiti now a University?

herzern1:
With this thread.....
I can affirmly state it that "you can't satisfy Nigerians"...

I have never seen this word 'abused' this way before!
Please u either 'affirm' or 'firmly state' or even 'state firmly' if u like.

BlackSeptember:
Omenka will hide his head after reading this story

Don't mind that one with his nauseating and effeminate diatribe on how 'Igbos' should not do things to upset his islamic n fulani masters.

Hehehe! One chance wey no enter one nyash! Oya na

Dakuku should know that security issues are under d purview of the FG. Otherwise why have I not heard him ask d governors of Borno, Yobe n Adamawa any questions?

How about projects conceived n delivered by GEJ n PDP that his APC has colonised? Has d FG not abandoned students sent out on scholarships n many of them are stranded out there?

When no cheek is given in the first place, the balance eves out nicely cos then no conscience issues wil arise. If an arsehole decides to kill for some blood suckin god then he must be forcefully stopped even before he starts!

Oh yeah, according to one minister, all those complaining of hunger are PDP members. E don dey clear for dia eye small small.

So much sleaze

mikolo80:
when they were burying other parents offspring nko

Is this a question?

No parent should have to bury an offspring. God rest him n strengthen her.

The president is not excused from his stupidity because people patronise foreign stuff. There's no relationship b/w d two. A dumb, unpatriotic president is just whim he is cos he's never made any personal efforts to develop himself and expand his narrow minded vision.

Ovamboland:
Nigeria fought a civil war without borrowing from 1967-70 when oil was $2 a barrel and there was no recession but in 1983 when oil price collapsed from $40 to $8 our economy was in austerity and recession even without a civil war to finance. That gives an idea of what's happening today

Why would they have borrowed when war mongers and greedy foreign capitalists were falling over themselves to supply weapons, financial, technical and tactical support in order to protect their pecuniary n selfish interests thereby retaining this unholy alliance we labour under today? You can see they aren't quite willing to bother with Nigeria these days other than to keep leeching.

Hmmm. At this rate, very soon Nigeria will be out of the job of even existence. Mr Daftus is on top of the situation of course!

zombiesm...major disease

On top rare forex he will still go n expend d supposedly scarce dollars.

This is how they insult and alienate investors with their ignorance. What is the meaning of not knowing the source of the money that was openly donated and received? If he's that worried about the source of money why not make discrete inquiries and research on the donor before opening an ignorant mouth to talk rubbish? Will it not amount to absolute and offensive disregard of the Japanese when he reads or such nonsense?

He was part of d delegation to Rio but I'm sure all his allowances were paid to the last dime while the real representatives of the country in d various sports were left floundering, embarrassed and ill-prepared without proper financing and logistics! Rubbish!

Excellent!
